It had been more than two months since he returned to Liaodong again, and Ye Chen had just arrived at Ye's house and got good news.

The workshop has worked out a paper that can be written.

Paper, Ye Chen has long been invested in research and development, and the basic ideas he provided have allowed people to gather a group of people who have been engaged in the paper industry to start research and development.

Paper is also a relatively important position in Ye Chen's strategy, the reason is not how much money can be used to make money, of course, making money is certain, and more importantly, it can be used by the Ye family's money, and anti-counterfeiting measures can be done very well.

The reason is very simple, the paper made of different materials will be different, Ye Chen can develop a unique paper to come out, as long as the formula is in his own hands and the outside does not let this kind of paper be obtained, then there is no way to imitate it.

Now that Qianzhuang has just emerged, there has been no imitation, one is that there are few customers, there is no large-scale application, and the people who use it are relatively fixed, and the other is that the Ye family is doing a good job of anti-counterfeiting, and there are several anti-counterfeiting methods.

But no matter what, the anti-counterfeiting must still be done in the front, otherwise when it goes out of Youzhou in the future and faces the entire Han Dynasty, if it is not used by the previous methods, it cannot be used on a large scale.

"Good, good, good, good." After Ye Chen wrote a few words on new paper, the effect was very good, and he said happily.

"Wu Xian, let the workshop produce this kind of paper on a large scale, and the county will also produce it on a large scale."

"Young master, production has been arranged a long time ago, and after this paper was produced half a month ago, I ordered someone to produce it on a large scale." Wu Xian also sighed very much, he didn't expect the Ye family to have a big source of income, he could imagine that once this kind of paper came out, then Ye Chen would be able to make money again.

"Well, you're doing a great job. Have you calculated the cost of this paper? "Paper will definitely be used on a large scale in the future, so cost is very important.

"The cost of these papers is not too expensive, because the materials are very easy to find, but the manufacturing time is relatively long, and there is the cost of labor."

After some calculations, a big money can only buy five pieces of paper, of course, this money is very cheap for the family, and it is useless for ordinary people to ask for paper, but Ye Chen's goal is to use paper on a large scale and replace the heavy bamboo slips.

In this way, paper must be mass-produced, and when paper is produced, movable type printing can also be produced, and then books will gradually become popular.

Popularizing books and making culture prosperous is one of Ye Chen's goals, but it is still too early to achieve it, his most important thing at present is to make money, and there is still a long way to go.

The paper was produced, this good news made Ye Chen very happy, and some plans in the future could be carried out, but he still had to understand the situation of the Ye family first, after all, he had been away for a long time.

"Wu Xian, tell me about the recent situation of the Ye family."

"Yes, young master." Wu Xian sorted out his thoughts and began to report.

"Young family master, if the situation in Youzhou has slowly recovered, our various businesses have also recovered." Wu Xian will first take a look at the general situation.

"At present, the spring sowing has been completed, all the land in Xiangping has been completed, and green manure is used, I believe that a large amount of grain can be harvested in the autumn, and those displaced people do not need our Ye family to feed."

Although food production does not occupy much of a position in the Ye family, it has an important position in Ye Chen's heart, and food is related to the future.

"After the young master came to open Liaodong, we made two more transactions with the Wuhuan people, these two transactions were huge, these two transactions have been completed, the transaction volume reached more than 300 million, and our profit was more than 100 million. And he also agreed with the Wuhuan people that there would be another transaction half a month later, and the transaction volume also reached 150 million, and two-thirds of it was Du Kang wine. ”

Because the price of Du Kang wine was raised by Ye Chen, the profit was huge, and he could earn tens of millions of dollars every time he traded, so Wu Xian said that these two eyes were shining, but he tasted the sweetness from trading with the Wuhuan people.

Ye Chen felt strange, why the Wuhuan people were in such great demand, although they liked to drink and could drink, but not everyone could afford to drink.

Obviously, this question can't be asked to Wu Xian, it's useless to ask him, so Ye Chen put it aside for the time being, or listen to Wu Xian continue.

"If you want to say surprise, it can only be said that it is a money bank, the new deposit is not very much, more than two months, the entire Youzhou several counties have also deposited more than 100 million, but very little is taken out, many people began to directly use the vouchers issued by our money bank transactions, and the loan business is also growing rapidly, many people take out loans to expand their business, or buy industries."

This is really good news, Ye Chen attaches great importance to Qianzhuang, it is a very important piece of strategy in the future, if there is a war, it is money and grain, and food needs to be produced and purchased and cannot be changed out at once, and the same money cannot be changed out at once.

If Ye Chen has the ability to develop the money bank into a financial institution and use the power of finance, then he doesn't have to worry about money at all in the future.

Wu Xian then reported: "The business of the restaurant cannot be restored to the pre-war level for the time being, it is only about five or six percent of the previous one, and Du Kang Liquor is also, except for the transaction with the Wuhuan people, the situation of Du Kang Liquor in Youzhou is not optimistic." ”

"However, in several places outside Youzhou, the demand continues to increase, especially in Xuzhou, due to the strong strength of the Mi family, Du Kang wine will be sold to all corners of Xuzhou in a short period of time, and they have recently shipped Du Kang wine, which costs 100 million yuan at a time. The same is true for Jizhou, they have already sent a message, and in a few days their caravan will come to pull goods, which is also more than 100 million goods. ”

Jizhou is a business that Ye Chen only talked about when he went to Luoyang, but he didn't expect the Zhen family to be so strong that the market would be developed in a short time, Jizhou is rich and has unlimited potential, Ye Chen is very optimistic about the market there.

"So, can we keep up with our production?" Now the Ye family's Du Kang wine has been sold in several states, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, as well as Sili run by the Wei family and Luoyang run by the Ye family.

In this way, Ye Chen's Du Kang wine has been sold to one-third of the big Han, and the demand is very large, so Ye Chen will be worried about the output.

"There is some pressure, but the workers can still produce it by working overtime, the most important thing is that the productivity in the county can be further strengthened, the expansion of the workshop has been completed, and more Du Kang wine can be produced, as long as the market is not increasing, it can be completely coped with."

”

Is the market going to increase? Of course, Ye Chen already planned to build a workshop in Luoyang, where he could produce more Du Kang wine at that time, and where it was closer to the states, unlike Youzhou, which was on the border of the Han Dynasty, and the transportation was inconvenient.

Wu Xian introduced all aspects to Ye Chen in detail, in short, the Ye family is developing rapidly, under the condition of not being short of money, each workshop is producing at full capacity, and the blacksmith workshop is building day and night, first finishing the farm tools, and then creating weapons and armor, and now the five thousand guard battalions have been able to use all the new weapons and equipment, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced.

In the end, Wu Xianlai said in a summary manner: "At present, our Ye family headquarters, after deducting expenses every month, can have more than 100 million profits left, which is mainly due to several big businesses, but according to the current situation, this kind of big business can also be normalized." ”

Ye Chen listened and nodded, as long as there is no war or natural disaster, the demand for this Du Kang wine will not decrease, and the big variable in the bulk business is the Wuhuan people.

Now that the Ye family has finally begun to lack money again, it is difficult for Ye Chen to get a few million, and if he has money, he must develop his strength, but in this regard, Ye Chen does not plan to talk too much to Wu Xian, it is not that he does not trust him, and he does not want him to burden too much, so it is not good for him, he just needs to develop the business side of the Ye family well.

"Now that there is no shortage of money, then the grain reserves cannot be left behind, and you can reserve as much as you can, and you don't need to think about anything else."

"Don't worry, the young family owner has been doing this, and has already stored three million stone of grain, which is enough to support the autumn harvest, and has sent out many grain teams, and has been constantly buying grain."

After understanding, Ye Chen on the Ye family's side knew that the Ye family could already have some money left, and he was already planning to expand the army again, but he still didn't know if the Ye family could be self-sufficient, if there was no need for the Ye family's side to support, then the army expansion plan could be implemented.
