Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma left, but Li Yuanqing fell into slow deep thought.
After so many years of accumulation, Li Yuanqing's financial resources are somewhat varied, but in the final analysis, it is mainly these points.
The first is the fixed salary of the imperial court.
In the past few years, Li Yuanqing and the sons and daughters of the Changsheng Camp have won several great victories one after another, and Father-in-law Wei can also see a little bit of something, and the scale of the food and salary on Changsheng Island has increased to nearly 300,000 taels.
However, although the food and salary of Changsheng Island is convenient from Tianjin, and there is no need to go to Denglai, the rules are here, and it is inevitable that they will be 'plucked by geese'.
Every year, what Li Yuanqing actually gets in his hands is more than 200,000 taels.
And that's still going well.
If there is any further delay, all aspects of miscellaneous affairs, to have a hundred thousand taels, is already 'begging grandpa, suing grandma', a big face.
Moreover, it is a reward for merit, relying on the head of the Tartar to exchange silver with the imperial court.
It's just that there are many similarities between merit and salary, to a large extent.
If it goes well, there are 30,000 or 40,000, 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver in the account a year, and if it doesn't go well, it will be on the scale of 20,000 or 30,000.
Moreover, it is the main income of Changsheng Island.
That's plunder!!
Through war, with the birds and spears in the hands of the sons, they create wealth.
Last year, the Battle of Zhenjiang made Li Yuanqing harvest a lot, and almost a million taels of silver were recorded in his account.
But 'the landlord's family has no surplus grain.'"
A million taels of silver looks like a lot, but it can't withstand more than 100,000 people, who eat horses every day, and there are rewards for their sons.
As for other incomes, such as Jingshi Yang Jiao ~ Niang's Wuyu Pavilion, which can provide Li Yuanqing with more than 100,000 or 200,000 taels of silver every year.
In Sakhalin, 200,000 taels of furs and miscellaneous goods are also recorded every year.
As for the salt works, Liaonan Laojiao, including maritime trade and commercial income on the island, because it is still in the stage of small fights, the income created is not too much.
Li Yuanqing was very clear.
As Houjin's defense line further shrank inland, there was less and less oil and water to be fished in the war.
Because there is no city to fight, fighting in the wilderness, even if he can cut off tens of thousands of Tartar heads, and then go through the imperial court, Li Yuanqing can get a limited amount.
Not to mention, it's almost impossible to happen.
When can tens of thousands of Tartar heads be killed in a war, it is basically the time for the Later Jin to die in the country.
Therefore, it is particularly important to expand commercialization, develop productivity, and create wealth through formal channels.
And after such a long time of exploration, Li Yuanqing has also found three things, the most profitable, and fast-yielding industries.
One is private salt.
The second is winemaking.
Three~~, is sea trade.
To be precise, maritime trade can also be attributed to plunder.
As long as you have money, you can do anything.
Whoever burns and loots! As long as he doesn't rob the Han people, what is Li Yuanqing worth hesitating?
First of all, let's talk about private salt.
Changsheng Island, including Zhongdao, Xidao, Nanxinkou, as well as Chen Zhong's Guanglu Island, and the Qianli Liaohai of the Dongjiang River, has unique natural advantages in this regard.
The salt industry also accounted for a large proportion of the imperial court's income.
The salt of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the regular official salt, its private salt production area is mainly concentrated in the Shandong Peninsula and the Lianghuai region.
Of course, these two areas are also the settlement areas of Daming official salt.
As for the Shu region and the Sichuan Basin, although there are many well salt production, the scale is obviously not comparable with Haiyan, and it is not a climate.
If Li Yuanqing lets it go, there will not be much problem in terms of output, but in sales, Li Yuanqing has a headache.
Liaodi's salt, if you want to sell it, you can only get it from Denglai, from Tianjin, even if Li Yuanqing and Li Banghua have a good personal relationship, but Li Banghua's personality is here, this kind of thing, a literati like him who was born in a serious class, has absolutely no possibility of agreeing.
But from Denglai, Li Yuanqing could only endure the exploitation of Denglai and these bigwigs.
If you want to change, Li Yuanqing must win a position with gold content, and the lowest must be the level of the Dengzhou Salt Inspection Division.
Of course, if it is Shandong Yandao, it is even better.
But at this time, it is undoubtedly quite difficult to win this kind of position.
If you want to 'rob openly', it can only be more detonated bigwigs to tear their faces.
At this time, Li Yuanqing obviously didn't dare to be so rampant and so blatant.
This time, on the one hand, he wants to vigorously expand the productivity of 'Liaoyan', on the other hand, he can only think of more ways in private.
As for winemaking.
Because Li Yuanqing has mastered the distillation technology to improve purity, there are slightly fewer collisions with opponents.
However, because Changsheng Island is far away from the mainland and its grain production capacity is insufficient, it is obviously putting the cart before the horse if it wants to develop winemaking on a large scale.
Only when the reputation of the old cellars in southern Liaoning was completely opened up, including Jingshi and Zhangjiakou, where these wealthy families, bureaucrats, and gentry were concentrated, and there was enough flowing water to return, could Li Yuanqing expand the scale of winemaking on the island.
As for 'sea trade'.
It's the most feasible thing to do.
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile.
In the final analysis, if you want to get rich, you still have to rely on the benefits of the bird gun and spear in your hand.
"What are you doing here at such a late hour? Aren't you afraid of something going wrong? At this time, Qu Minqiu's slender figure appeared in the inner study, interrupting Li Yuanqing's thoughts.
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "I want to rest in these thousands of affairs, but I have to give me this time!" ”
Qu Minqiu sneered, "Yuanqing, how old are you." How can you still be like a child? You are thinking about things here, so you can send someone to talk to Yun Niang and me. Yun Niang thought you were angry with her, so you won't go to her room tonight. ”
"How can this be?"
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be a little speechless, "Did Yun Niang let you come?" ”
Li Yuanqing said, already grabbing Qu Minqiu's little hand.
Qu Minqiu leaned on Li Yuanqing's arms, and her plump delicate body was completely attached to Li Yuanqing's body, "What do you say?" Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you big-headed ghost. ”
It's very hot at this time, and even if there is ice in the study, it still feels very hot.
Qu Minqiu only wore a silk short skirt today, and the two were so close that in a moment, Li Yuanqing had already reacted.
The big hand skillfully went deep into the clothes on Qu Minqiu's waist, and said with a smile: "Isn't it?" How do I feel that someone is here on purpose? ”
Qu Minqiu's face couldn't help but turn red, and she suddenly took a small bite on Li Yuanqing's shoulder, "A dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth." Too lazy to pay attention to you. ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "I want to eat you now." However, I was still hungry. Minqiu, you go and help me fry a few side dishes, let's go to Yun Niang's room to eat. Tonight, you two will be with me. ”
Qu Minqiu's eyes were about to ooze water, but he was also a little distressed by Li Yuanqing's hard work, and laughed and teased: "Yuanqing, you, are you okay?" ”
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be 'furious': "When the master is full, do you think it's okay?" ”
Qu Minqiu didn't dare to commit Li Yuanqing's taboo again at this time, giggled, and fled from the inner study.
The corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile, "The feeling of going home is really good." ’
…………
After resting on the island for a few days, Li Yuanqing's spirit and body gradually recovered to their best condition, eliminating the haze of the flood.
When Li Yuanqing came back, the laughter of the ladies in the house couldn't help but increase a lot.
The children also often came to Li Yuanqing's outer study to watch their father and uncles discuss military affairs.
In this regard, Li Yuanqing is very open-minded, especially a few boys, Li Yuanqing is very happy for them to listen to various government affairs meetings, since he was a child~~, he has cultivated a keen sense in this regard.
It's a pity that led by Li Dingbei, these boys obviously don't have this in mind, but regard this place as a good place to hide and seek.
Li Yuanqing could only catch them, catch their little butts, and teach them a good lesson one by one.
In terms of government affairs, the resettlement of slaves is very smooth, although there are many mosquitoes in summer, but the pharmaceutical industry of Changsheng Island is very developed, it can be said that it is the distribution center of cherished medicinal materials in the entire northern land of the Ming Dynasty.
There are also more and more old men, old doctors, who are willing to come to Changsheng Island to beg for food.
After all, Li Yuanqing gave them a higher salary and a better salary, and they didn't have to worry about all kinds of exploitation and safety disturbances.
In the words of later generations, the current medical research work on Changsheng Island has a strong atmosphere.
What especially makes Li Yuanqing happy is that there is a lot of rain this year, and the growth of sweet potatoes on the island, that is, sweet potatoes, is very good, and this year's harvest can be expected.
If there is a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes this year, at least, until the end of the year, Li Yuanqing will no longer have to worry about grain and grass.
On the afternoon of 30 June, Li Yuanqing had just returned from inspecting the fields where sweet potatoes were planted, and had just sat down to drink a cup of chilled sour plum soup. ”
Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile for a moment, "Please." ”
After a while, Chen Jisheng was guided by his own soldiers, walked into the hall quickly, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Yuanqing, our brothers have not seen each other for a while." What do you think? Is this battle in southern Liaoning still going well? ”
Li Yuanqing hurriedly laughed and stepped forward, gave Chen Jisheng a warm hug, and hurriedly ordered Xiaolian to serve tea and food, and laughed and said: "Big brother, Hongfu, who is handsome, everything is going well." How about the headquarters? Merit is reported, right? ”
Chen Jisheng smiled, "It's okay." Yuanqing, I came here to enter Beijing. ”
After listening to Chen Jisheng's explanation, Li Yuanqing also understood Mao Wenlong's intentions.
On the occasion of the great victory of Liaonan and Liaodong, he was ready to further expand the results of the battle and gain more initiative in the imperial court.
At this time, the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty contracted its defense, and militarily, especially on the frontal battlefield, whether it was Mao Wenlong or Li Yuanqing, it was difficult to do much.
After all, it is obviously unwise to attack the city defended by Houjin's main force, and it is not the strength that the two departments can have at this stage.
But in other aspects, Mao Wenlong will never let Hou Jin Jun live in peace.
Li Yuanqing believed that Mao Wenlong had this means, but for his idea of expanding the results of the war in the imperial court and sending Chen Jisheng to Beijing now, Li Yuanqing's heart suddenly had a bad premonition.
