Wu Tianxiao listened and asked curiously, "Then where can you sell it?" How far can it be sold? ”

Tong Hua returned: "The first step is Hangzhou Mansion. The entire Hangzhou Mansion consumes 100,000 boxes in a month, which is not a problem. The official has an official way, that is, the Hangzhou Mansion cannot consume 100,000 boxes in a month, and the contemptible people still have some relationship with the Tianfu in the south of the Zhili. It is not difficult to sell to Ying Tianfu. ”

Wu Tianxiao suddenly realized when he heard this, he was already strange in his heart. Tang Xianyao is also a county magistrate, even if every household in Zhoushan County buys matches, it would be good to be able to consume up to 10,000 boxes per month after topping. How much does 10,000 boxes make? On average, it is only 30,000 yuan, which is 30 taels of silver, and the profit after deducting the principal is only 6 taels of silver. According to the purchasing power of silver now, it is about ten stone rice. If you want to sell the entire Zhoushan County, you have to take care of at least two foot dealers, and then deduct the commission of the foot dealers, and the profit in hand will be about six stone rice. Six stone rice is not a trivial matter for a small person, but for a magistrate, it is not a trivial matter. Such a small profit naturally doesn't make Tang Xianyao so concerned about matches, it turns out that the cat is tired of being behind. This Tong Hua is Tang Xianyao's cattiness, and it was this Tong Hua who handled it when he sold the stolen goods of the Japanese robbers. Thinking about this, Wu Tianxiao's heart was clear, and in the future, this Tang Zhi County would be in the palm of his hand.

After listening to Tong Hua's words, Wu Tianxiao immediately clapped his hands: "Okay." Since Shopkeeper Tong has made everything clear, then I'll just say it. With the current manufacturing capacity of the workshop, more than 100,000 boxes can still be made in a month. It's just that for the sake of the future, I have to expand this workshop, but your 100,000 boxes are still not a problem. In this way, today is the seventh day of the new year, and I will make it for you at the end of June, and I will deliver it here. ”

Tong Huaxi said: "Okay." I'll bring someone to pick it up. ”

Wu Tianxiao said with a smile: "But let's talk about the ugly things ahead, this payment can be paid with one hand and delivered with the other." ”

Tong Hua also smiled: "Naturally." Isn't it just a matter of a few hundred silver? However, the contemptible people also made the ugly words clear first, and the agreement between Wu Ye and the magistrate was that the payment for the goods was half cash and half treasure money, which could not be changed. ”

Wu Tianxiao nodded: "This is nature." Then the three of them detailed how much each of the three matches was allocated, and then sent Tong Hua back.

Sending Tong Hua away, Wu Tianxiao hurriedly said to the old village chief Jia: "I have to go to the county government again, explain this matter to Chen Qianhu, and go to Ningbo Mansion to buy raw materials." It's just that you have to take care of this workshop a little more, and I'll give some money to find a piece of land, and we'll officially build a workshop. And also. Explain to the villagers, although the matchsticks are sharpened, the more the better. Chen Qianhe represents the interests of the Wei Institute, and Tang Zhixian represents the interests of the government, and it is not a problem for matches to be sold to the entire Ming Dynasty through these two interests. The manpower will be left to you. ”

Old Village Chief Jia said with a smile: "Master Wu, don't worry, this list is getting bigger and bigger." As long as you earn money, you are not afraid that you will not be able to pay taxes, and the villagers will definitely work harder. By the way, it's better to settle this tax with the magistrate as soon as possible. This person's desire is insatiable, if he becomes bigger in the future. At that time, it was difficult for the county magistrate to open his mouth. ”

Wu Tianxiao sneered: "The workshop has a share of the county, I'm afraid he won't be reluctant." Feel relieved. I'm measured. "As for taxes, in Wu Tianxiao's view, how much of this payment has gone into the private pockets of Tangzhi County, so it can be delayed, not to mention that this match workshop has just opened. Besides, he gave Tang Zhixian a percent of the dry shares earlier, which in Wu Tianxiao's view, is to pay taxes in advance.

After Wu Tianxiao finished talking to the village chief, he said goodbye and went back to the sea ship. Then he just asked Jia Youshi to take a few strong men, take silver and treasure money to follow him to the county government, and prepare to go to Ningbo Mansion to buy raw materials. Jiang Zhuang and the others accelerated their training to drive sea ships.

The Japanese ship captured by Wu Tianxiao was about 1,4500 materials, and the average sailor required at least 50 people. If you add oarsmen, it's more than 100 people. But now Wu Tianxiao is obviously understaffed, so the training is just leaning on the coast and floating around with sails. Although he can start, he does not dare to go to sea. Even so, Wu Tianxiao did not let these people idle and trained when they were free. He also taught these people how to throw grenades, and each of them threw grenades more than 100 times a day. Of course. The training grenade is also made of bamboo tubes, and there is no difference between them and real bamboo grenades in terms of appearance and weight, except that the training bamboo grenades are not filled with strip explosives, but only filled with the same weight of sand.

Let's say that Wu Tianxiao took Jia Youshi and a few village strongmen, and first went to the county government and Tangzhi County to say something about Tong Hua, and said that he would go to Ningbo Mansion to buy raw materials as soon as possible. So I didn't stay long, and after determining the matter, I took a ferry across the sea to find Chen Qianhe in Ningbo Mansion, and made an appointment with the boatman to transport the goods back to Luomen Village in Zhoushan.

Chen Qianhe was already a thousand households at this time, and the Dinghaiwei Institute where the jurisdiction was located, and the two hundred households in Zhoushan were under the jurisdiction of the Dinghaiwei Institute. When Wu Tianxiao arrived at the Dinghai Guard, he met Chen Qianhe who was transferring troops, as if something had happened.

Wu Tianxiao came to Ningbo Mansion for the second time, but both times he came to buy things, and as for the Dinghai Thousand Households, this is also the second time.

The group came to the gate of the Dinghaiwei camp. Wu Tianxiao motioned for Jia Youshi and the others to wait for him outside the camp gate, and he showed his waist card to the doorman. The doorman was a military household guard who came with Chen Qianhe, and he knew Wu Tianxiao and knew that this new hundred households had a close relationship with the thousand households. So he didn't look at Wu Tianxiao's waist card, and shouted: "The hundred households are well." Then let Wu Tianxiao in.

Wu Tianxiao casually threw a string of copper plates to reward, and the two doormen were happy: "Thank you for the reward." One of them led the way in front: "The master of the thousand households is giving instructions in the school hall, and the villain will lead the way." ”

Wu Tianxiao nodded politely: "It's hard work." ”

The two of them arrived at the school hall one after the other, and the doorman left on their own as soon as the doorman announced, and Wu Tianxiao only waited for a moment before he had to pass in. I saw that Chen Qianhe was giving a lecture to five people who were wearing the same robes as himself.

There were a few hundred households in the guard who wore the same robe as Wu Tianxiao, but Wu Tianxiao didn't know any of these people, so he bowed his fist and saluted a few people. Then he bowed his hand to Chen Qianhe and said: "Wu Tianxiao, a hundred households in the left central guard of Zhoushan, has seen thousands of households. ”

Chen Qianhe saw that Wu Tianxiao didn't come by him, and it was estimated that there was something, so he beckoned, asked a few people to wait first, and then motioned for Wu Tianxiao to follow him into his thousand-household signing room.

Chen Qianhe in the signing room asked, "Everything has been guarded these days." It's just that I didn't recruit you, why did you come. But what's the matter? ”

Wu Tianxiao said with a smile: "I'll tell you about the silver." The shopkeeper of Tong Huatong under Tang Zhixian came to me this morning and told me something about their official ways. I ordered 100,000 boxes of matches in one go, and I want 100,000 boxes every month in the future. They are going to sell it to Hangzhou Mansion, and Ying Tianfu may sell it. In this way, the amount of raw materials purchased in the future will be much larger, so I ask you to give instructions to the purchasing official. ”
