"It's eighty-six thousand taels in total!"

Yu Yiqin fumbled with the piece of paper that calculated the final data, and the joy on his face couldn't be suppressed.

With the power of the Yu family, if you want to benefit from the technique of planting beads quietly, you can earn at most 10,000 taels of silver a year, and now, you will have eight years of income in your arms at once!

However, he still smacked his lips and said with some regret: "It's still sold low......"

Yu Guozhen didn't think it was selling low, in fact, this price was far beyond his expectations, he originally thought that he would be satisfied if he could sell it for 30,000 taels, and 50,000 taels would be the top.

The key is that he is short of money, although Yu Yixuan has a brand of "Xiang'an Inspection Division", but this brand is not worth eating, and the cost of raising people every day is more than 30 taels, and it will cost 10,000 taels a year, not including the rest of the expenses.

The combat effectiveness of the young guards can be regarded as elite among ordinary people, and even among thieves, but the number is still too small, only more than eighty people, and he needs to double it to about two hundred people in the next year. This means that his expenses will have to be doubled.

If history has not deviated greatly because of his arrival, Yu Guozhen remembers that from next year, Liukou will begin to harass the Anhui realm, and the following year there will even be a frenzy that swept the Anhui realm, Zhang Xianzhong almost swept away the essence of the Anhui realm, Wuwei and Tongcheng, almost all of them were slaughtered for him, and then he was full of food and drink to grab fat and be recruited!

So, there wasn't much time left for him!

"How can I make good use of this lot of money?" Yu Yixuan asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Let's take stock of what we've gained since the end of the year." Yu Guozhen calmed down: "In the battle of Fushan, we paid a small amount of silver, a total of three hundred and forty-one taels, but there were twelve horses, four boats, four birds, and twelve bows......"

The Fushan ambush almost wiped out the backbone of the Wenxiang Sect that Wang Haoxian had accumulated in the past ten years, and in addition, a lot of weapons were also seized, among which the horses and birds were the most pleasing to Yu Guozhen. There are few horses in the south, so the young people in the nursing home rely on the mules and donkeys at home to practice riding, and the effect is naturally better than nothing, with twelve horses, plus the teacher who is not fat and not fat, Yu Guozhen believes that most of the young guards can learn to ride horses.

He didn't expect these young guards to become masters of horse warfare, as long as they could become qualified mounted infantrymen, they would be satisfied.

Yu Guozhen was even more pleased, and the Xiang'an Inspection Department also tried to ask the officials for a bird gun, but was told that there were no new ones in the arsenal, only old goods. Yu Guozhen took out the old goods with the idea that it was better than nothing, but fortunately, he was cautious and found that the six bird guns he took out were all rusty, and they could not be launched smoothly at all, and there was even a danger of exploding.

The four bird guns of the Wenxiang Sect are well-cast, at least from the eyes of Yu Guozhen's later generations of soldiers, and they are well maintained.

Like those horses, the biggest role of these four bird guns is to familiarize the young guard with this weapon.

"Guozhen, it's a little dishonest for you to say this, the big head of the Smelling Fragrance Sect is somewhere else." Yu Yiqin laughed.

Yu Guozhen also smiled: "What the second uncle said is good, the bulk of the harvest of the Wenxiang Sect is the cellar silver that was harvested, and under the guidance of Fang San'er, I recovered their three cellars, and the variegated Tibetan silver and copper coins collected were worth about 16,400 taels. ”

"Phew!"

Yu Yiqin and Yu Yixuan took a breath, and the two glanced at each other, they always had tens of thousands of taels of silver from all the belongings of the Yu family, and they had just gotten more than 80,000 taels of silver, but this number still amazed them.

"It's a pity that Wang Haoxian can't get anything out of his mouth, he is much more difficult to deal with than Fang San'er." Yu Guozhen said casually: "The Wenxiang Sect has plagued Gyeonggi and Shandong for decades, and I don't know how many fools and fools have gone bankrupt for it, and the money it has amassed, even if there are not millions, hundreds of thousands of taels are always there. ”

"Now that they have followed Wang Haoxian into the field, I don't know who will be cheaper." Yu Yixuan said with pity.

The news of Wang Haoxian's death came eight days ago, and the Yingtianfu Yamen also posted a notice for this, saying that he "died by bathing" and that he had "died of old age and heart disease", but he did not say that he died of "hide and seek". Two days before the news of Wang Haoxian's death came, Shi Jingyan returned to Xiang'an, and began to command the young men's spearmanship and knife skills as the head of the Yu family.

"Let's just say it, we have gained 102,741 ...... in this month."

This number definitely exceeds the Yu family's original belongings, and Yu Yixuan has to forcibly control his emotions and show a little bit of scholarly temperament, but Yu Yiqin is already smiling so much that he can't close his mouth.

When the two of them looked at Yu Guozhen, they found that Yu Guozhen's mouth was grinning, and it was rare to show such a violent emotion, and even those eyes were three points brighter than usual!

"Haha, Guozhen, it's rare that you look like this, I also said that you don't love money, you never thought about it...... Ha ha. Yu Yiqin laughed.

"If you don't love money, you may have, but if you don't love sex, you may not, if that's the case, isn't it that Guozhen came all the way from Suzhou Mansion?" Yu Yixuan also made a joke.

"Hehe, what the second uncle and fifth uncle said is right, I am rich and lustful, if I don't have financial resources, where can we afford such a family guard."

"Speaking of which, now that Guozhen is sixteen, it's time to make a family appointment." Yu Yiqin said suddenly.

"Yes, yes, Guozhen, which family's daughter do you fall in love with, the fifth uncle will go to ask for your relatives for you!"

The two of them sang and harmonized, and they were very enthusiastic to consider the marriage for Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen was immersed in the joy of making a windfall, but did not think about it, followed their words a few words, and then turned the topic back to these coins.

"Twenty two million two hundred seventy four hundred ...... 10,000 taels to the second uncle, 10,000 taels to the fifth uncle, and 5,000 taels to the uncle. Yu Guozhen said.

"Huh?" Yu Yiqin and Yu Yixuan were both a little stunned: "Guozhen, what do you mean?" ”

"You can't let your uncles just throw money and get nothing, right?" Yu Guozhen smiled: "Don't say anything else, the second uncle has to save some family business for my brothers, and the third brother and the fourth brother are all going to marry wives!" ”

Hearing him say this, Yu Yiqin and Yu Yixuan nodded, and they both smiled.

Yu Guozhen's assignment is doing beautifully, although they are a family, but if they only see input, but they do not see benefits, it is difficult for the relationship between them to last for a long time.

"What to do with the remaining silver taels and hide them?" Yu Yiqin asked again.

Yu Guozhen pondered for a while: "Second uncle, fifth uncle, the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit, I think you all understand." If there is a swing today, there are thieves everywhere, although we have a guard in our house, but it is okay to deal with a small group of thieves, if it is thousands of brigades of thieves, how should we be good? ”

"It won't stop here, will it?" Yu Yiqin was taken aback.

Yu Yixuan was silent, the joy on his face also retracted, Yu Guozhen looked at him and said: "Fifth uncle, you have been to Shandong, and there is a situation of military disasters, you can tell the second uncle." ”

"It's miserable." Yu Yixuan took a while before he spoke: "I didn't go to Denglai, but I arrived in Jinan Mansion and saw those fleeing victims, many of whom were originally rich families in Denglai Erzhou......"

Yu Yixuan's situation touched Yu Yiqin, and he clenched his fists: "In this way, our Yu family's shop in Yingtianfu has to be expanded!" ”

"This is only the second cave, we have to have a third cave...... In addition to the grocery store in Yingtianfu, we also look at a cloth village, and in the future, the cloth of our Yu family can be directly transported there by ship to sell. Yu Guozhen said: "As for the third cave, after a while, I will go to the south to see if there is a suitable place." ”

"You're going south?"

"Well, two uncles, the most profitable business is to go to the West."

"It's not easy to go to the West, and pirates are rampant now!"

"Haojing has a red-haired Fanyi, and selling goods to them can avoid risks at sea." Yu Guozhen said that he understood in his heart that selling the goods to the Portuguese in Macao was tantamount to another layer of exploitation, and he could only make a small profit, and the big head was still about the Portuguese to earn.

Since he made such a decision, Brother Yu Yiqin didn't say anything more, but just reminded him to bring more people and pay attention to safety. Although the Smelling Fragrance Sect has been basically uprooted, there are always some scattered die-hard elements still there, and we must be careful of their revenge.

Listening to their babbling explanations, Yu Guozhen smiled dumbly, he just planned to go to the south, but the specific time was still early.

The three of them discussed the matter of the cloth village in Nanjing, and finally decided to invest 1,000 taels to open the cloth village, and the person in charge of this matter was handed over to Yu Shou, that is, Yu Yixuan's henchman butler.

This is also the fact that the Yu family is not prosperous and lacks talents, and even among the people in the side branches, there is no one worthy of trust.

"There is really a shortage of people, Guozhen, if you go to the south to set up another cave, can you have reliable manpower?" When the three of them left the restaurant, Yu Yixuan asked.

Yu Guozhen shook his head and smiled bitterly, the only thing that can come in handy in his hands is whether he is tall or fat, but the strength of being tall or not fat is not in business, and he may not be able to show his skills when he goes to the south.

"You need to recruit some people, you need to be reliable first, Guozhen has your own ideas about this matter, I won't say more."

Yu Yixuan smiled meaningfully at him and said this.

He knows that Yu Guozhen has great ambitions, as a scholar who is not very proud of the imperial examination, Yu Yixuan also has his own ambitions, if Yu Guozhen can achieve success, then his cousin can also rise the boat, just like the current Xiang'an inspection, it is because of Yu Guozhen.

Yu Guozhen nodded, and went straight back to the Xiliu Courtyard - Fang Yizhi gave this courtyard such a name, and for some reason it was universal, and Liu Ru played a big role in this.

In her little thoughts, the word "willow" in the fine willow alludes to her surname, perhaps, this is some kind of force in the underworld, so that her fate is linked to this courtyard.

And outside the courtyard, a person who was unreasonable but expected by him was waiting for him.
