"PS: When I checked the information today, I found that I really reversed the meaning of my surname. I don't know if it's too late to change now. In short, the surname is the mother family, and the clan is a branch, so Zhao Hongrun should be from the branch "Zhao" in the "Ji surname", or is it called Zhao Hongrun, and it is crooked ==. In addition, Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Chu Xuancheng, is the branch of the Xiong surname. Everything else is pretty much the same, sorry sorry. But then again, this time I can write Mi Jiang and Mi Jiang as Mi sisters."

———— the following text————

The first money-making business of the Smelting Bureau, Wang Fu of the Bureau, and Zhou Pei, the secretary of the Yu Department under the Ministry of Industry, and Kuang Ke, the director of the Warehouse Department under the Ministry of Households, had a similar discussion.

The three departments joined forces, the Yu Department was responsible for manufacturing, the warehouse department was responsible for sales, and the Smelting Bureau was regarded as a technical shareholding, except for the maintenance and addition of those iron molds, the rest did not care.

But in any case, the Smelting Bureau still took the most land, fully forty percent of the net profit, and as for the Yu Department and the Warehouse Department, the remaining sixty percent was equally divided.

This division of interests seems fair, but in fact, after removing the cost, the profit of the Yu Department and the warehouse department is not even half of the profit obtained by the Smelting Bureau, after all, the former has to bear the cost of raw materials, while the latter has to pay a large amount of transportation costs, how can it be like the Smelting Bureau, easily sit and collect a large amount of money.

But there is no way, who let the new process of candles be improved by the Smelting Bureau? What's more, behind the smelting bureau is Su Wang Zhao Hongrun.

It's better to earn less than nothing.

Yube Shilang Zhou Pei and Kurabe Shilang Kuang Ke thought very openly.

Of course, this "less earning" is only for the profit share of the Smelting Bureau, in fact, even the profit share of the Yu Department and the Warehouse Department is enough to make the other directors jealous.

According to the message. On the day when Kuang Ke, the Kurabe Shilang, negotiated the distribution of benefits with Cheng Wangfu of the Smelting Bureau, he was invited by Cui Can, the right attendant of the household department.

Because of the offending of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su a few days ago, Fan Biao, the left attendant of the household department, can be said to have kicked the iron plate, not only did he take advantage of Zhao Hongrun, but also exposed that he had taken refuge in the political side of Hongli, the prince of the East Palace.

So, whether it was because Zhao Hongrun retaliated against the household department and caused the household department to lose, he complained about Fan Biao. The princes who still didn't want to choose allegiance so early avoided Fan Biao, making Fan Biao, the left servant of the household, really miserable, as if there was no overhead, and not many people were willing to be with him.

According to the grapevine, Fan Biao, the position of the left waiter of the household department, may not be able to sit for long.

Why?

Don't forget, now standing behind Hubu is Xiangwang Hongjing.

Don't look at Xiangwang Hongjing, he just entered the department and warehouse department under the household department. But everyone knows that this highness will stretch his hand from the warehouse to the household, it is a matter of time, just like the future Yongwang Hongyu into the main household department, Qingwang Hongxin into the main military department, Su Wang Hongrun into the main ministry of the Ministry of work, when these princes and their Royal Highnesses make some achievements, from the department to the main ministry is a matter of course.

And the key is that everyone knows that Xiangwang Hongjing and Yongwang Hongyu secretly joined forces in an attempt to pull down Hongli, the prince of the East Palace. In this case, how could he let Fan Biao, the prince of the East Palace, sit in the seat of Zuo Shilang?

Although Xiangwang Hongjing currently does not have the right to directly remove the left servant of the higher ministry. But I believe that Li Liang, the head of the household department, and Cui Can, the right attendant, will never offend His Royal Highness King Xiang, who will preside over the great task of the household department in the future, because of Fan Biao.

If nothing goes wrong, these two adults may feel extremely angry and disappointed that Fan Biao took the initiative to offend King Su and Wang Hongrun, causing King Su Hongrun to take heavy revenge on their households, not to mention that Fan Biao also took refuge in the prince of the East Palace. At this time, if you intercede for Fan Biao, won't you even be regarded as a thorn in the side of Xiangwang Hongjing?

Because of this, almost no one in the Household Department today will take Fan Biao seriously, because they know it very well. After a few days, Fan Biao will be replaced by Xiangwang Hongjing for some reason, which is the end of standing in line too early.

Compared with Fan Biao, Cui Can's status in the household department is much higher, after all, most people think that he will be promoted to Zuo Shilang and become the real second-in-command of the household department.

Therefore, I heard that Cui Can summoned him, even if Kuang Ke had no friendship with this right waiter, he could only go obediently.

After all, he Kuang Ke and Cui Can, unlike Fan Biao, were still very innocent in politics in the past, so if they want to sit in their respective positions, they can only move closer to Xiangwang Hongjing, which also means that he Kuang Ke does not have any backstage capital to show off to Cui Can.

How they talked, outsiders have no way of knowing, but according to the observation of the officials of the Ministry of Households, Kuang Ke's face was a little unhappy when he came out of the Department of Households, obviously, Cui Can asked for some profits from the subordinate Department of Warehouses for the sake of the Department of Households, after all, the officials in charge of the Treasury have an inexplicable desire to control money, and always hope that the Treasury will always be full, which is not difficult to understand.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun's imperial brother Xiangwang Hongjing did not interfere with anything, perhaps in his opinion, the money in the hands of the household department and the money in the hands of the department and the warehouse department is nothing more than the difference between the left pocket and the right pocket, what is there to fight for.

However, Zhao Hongrun heard from the mouth of Jucheng Wang Fu that when Kuang Ke was drinking with him, he said a few words of dissatisfaction with Cui Can when he was drunk.

This kind of words, Zhao Hongrun has heard it, after all, he has no ambition to install someone in the household department, which makes Xiangwang Hongjing dissatisfied with him, after all, the brothers are currently in charge of their own one-third of an acre, and if they cross the boundary, they will be looked down upon.

But in any case, this money-making project has been established, Yu has begun to make candles frantically, and Kurabe is also actively transporting raw materials, and shipping boxes and boxes of finished candles, looking at this situation, it seems that it intends to dominate the entire domestic candle market.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun felt that it didn't matter at first, anyway, those small workshops that made candles in China, and the common people did not have the financial resources and technology to operate that kind of workshop, and the loss was just the interests of some small nobles or small families.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Hongrun still asked Wang Fu to hint at Zhou Pei and Kuang Ke, suggesting that they could take care of those small workshops as appropriate, and wholesale some candles below the market price to them, so that they could help sell them.

This is not Zhao Hongyun's kindness or anything, he just thinks that in the current situation of the domestic business of the Great Wei Dynasty, those industries that make money are generally controlled by many big nobles and great families, he can first cultivate some low-level merchant forces, and gradually expand the market of free commerce, so that the market of the Great Wei Dynasty becomes diversified, instead of being controlled by the aristocratic family forces at the top of the status pyramid.

And when the power of the new merchants gradually rises, he Zhao Hongrun can wait for the opportunity to deal with those big nobles who have long controlled the country's important trade and resources, take the opportunity to return some important resources to the state, and distribute the rest to the new merchant forces, stimulate the market economy of the Great Wei, and attract merchants from other countries around the world to come to the Great Wei to start war and trade.

Of course, it's too early to mention this, and now the so-called emerging merchant forces don't even have a single hair from those big aristocratic families, and they are just a mess of food.

In addition, the two candle molds built by the Smelting Bureau for the Internal Manufacturing Bureau have also been delivered.

The Internal Construction Bureau happily gave 100,000 pieces of silver, and specially sent the eunuchs of the Inner Chamberlain and the Praetorian Guards to escort the silver carts, and transported the money to the newly built treasury in the Smelting Bureau's office, where it was stacked neatly.

It is undeniable that this is the first pot of gold earned by the Smelting Bureau before the proceeds of the candles have been allocated from the household, not to mention, the dozens of boxes of silver with white flowers have made the craftsmen in the Smelting Bureau stunned, because they never thought that their Smelting Bureau would become so rich one day.

During this period, in fact, Wang Fu planned to return the 100,000 taels to Zhao Hongrun, after all, His Royal Highness King Su renovated the smelting bureau and built a hearth outside the city, and it cost more than 100,000 taels?

But Zhao Hongrun refused, after all, in his opinion, the tens of thousands of taels of silver he had left on hand now were enough to spend, and the Smelting Bureau was the time to use the money.

After all, after the financial decoupling of the smelting bureau from the household department, its nature has become self-produced and self-sold, and the household department will no longer allocate any money to the smelting bureau, which makes the smelting bureau can only use a large amount of money to buy various ores and raw materials from the warehouse for future research and development in the bureau.

However, what worries Zhao Hongrun is that the current transportation is too slow.

Not to mention road transportation, relying on horse-drawn carriage transportation, it is far behind by water transportation.

But the problem is that even if you take water transportation, the speed cannot satisfy Zhao Hongrun.

The reason for this is that the shipbuilding technology of the Great Wei is not as good as that of the Chu State, the transport ships built are not large enough, and the draft of the Yingshui water system is generally not deep, especially in autumn and winter, only small boats can pass.

Although this once enabled the Great Wei to avoid the embarrassment of being invaded by the warships of the Chu State in the domestic waters, it seems that the existing domestic water system, the Yingshui water system, obviously does not have the ability to carry a large number of people.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the lack of money in his hands, Zhao Hongrun really wanted to throw a huge amount of money to the Ministry of Industry, asking the Ministry of Industry to widen and dig the rivers in the Yingshui water system, so that Zhao Hongrun could build Daliang into the center of commerce and trade, just like the rich cities led by Linzi in the Qi State.

However, now, Zhao Hongrun can only honestly use the existing domestic water transport force, of course, this does not prevent Zhao Hongrun from learning from the shipbuilding technology of Chu to build several large transport ships, after all, the current carrier ship in the warehouse can not completely eat the waters of Yingshui, let alone the river. "PS: The Yellow River was known as "Heshui", "Dahe", "Shanghe", and "Nine (Qu) River" in ancient times, after all, this mother river was not yellow at that time.

Before that, Zhao Hongrun planned to build a large dock port in the north and south of Daliang.

Among them, Zhao Hongrun, the port on the south side of Daliang, has already thought of a place, and it is in Xiangfu County, after all, Xiangfu County originally had a port used by the imperial court to moor ships, which was called Xiangfu Port, but the scale is said to be not very good.

The difficulty lies in the area that is suitable as a port in the north of the girder.

It was within the territory of the princely kingdom called Yuanyang. (To be continued.) )
