Section 164 Harvest
Although they didn't expect to make money at all on the first day, everyone was still generous in the end, although the civil officials in the first row were low-key, more than thirty or fifty taels, less than one or twenty taels, and they usually didn't spend so much money on which Qinglou they usually went, because where they went to add color to their place.
But those noble descendants made generous moves one by one, expressing their welcome to Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan, the two girls to stay in Nanjing, Xu Qingjun directly discharged 1,000 taels, and the remaining three noble children also gave 500 taels, a total of 2,600 taels.
The civil officials in the second row were given an average of ten taels, and the honorable were one hundred taels, for a total of eight hundred and ten taels.
The low-ranking civil officials in the third and fourth rows are five taels per person, and fifty people are two hundred and fifty taels.
The total is nearly four thousand taels, which is much more than Yang Chao expected.
The next day, wealthy businessmen began to participate, and sure enough, the income surged, and the income on this day was tens of thousands of taels.
On the third day, it was more than 20,000 taels.
The difference on the fourth day is as if it were different.
After that, it became less and less, but even so, there was still an income of ten thousand taels on the tenth day.
This opening can be described as a lot of revenue.
Of course, Yang Chao still insisted on dividing the accounts, and after removing the various expenses of Jinchai Building, half of the income was distributed to the famous prostitutes who performed.
As a result, the four famous prostitutes each received 5,000 taels, which was much more than the money they earned by performing in their own green building.
Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan each received 10,000 taels.
Even the little girls who accompanied on stage, especially the two little girls who played the matchmaker and Zhang Sheng, shared the most, the two of them got a hundred taels of silver, and for the first time in their lives, they had their own money, the two girls cried happily, and the other girls also got ten taels, and they all quietly saved up. He said that he was waiting for the future to redeem himself.
Girls like them are happy, even if they redeem themselves, they are still happy. But it no longer belongs to anyone else, and no one forces them to take customers. They can be their own masters and find someone to marry, but the premise is that someone is willing to marry them, because the descendants of happy women are also happy people, and unless they can be separated first, they will not be able to turn over forever.
Therefore few people are willing to marry them, except those who have eyes and hands. Or people with a lot of money can easily help them get out of their naturalization, or people who don't care about spending money to help them get out of their nationality are willing to take them as concubines.
It can be said that these happy women are the real untouchables, and the real untouchables are even worse than the military households.
After dividing the accounts, Jinchai Lou also had nearly 40,000 taels of profits left, plus the previous profits, and there was a balance of 50,000 taels on the account.
For this money, Yang Chao intends to pay dividends to shareholders.
Yang Chao is now engaged in a major construction and armament upgrade program. Therefore, I am very happy to have a sum of money, but the key is Wang Xiao.
Yang Chao felt that if he didn't pay dividends. Wang Xiao is about to be unable to open the pot.
Therefore, after agreeing with Kang Cheng, he decided to share the dividends and take out 30,000 taels of them, so that one share can be divided into 100 taels, Yang Chao has 10,000 taels of 100 shares, Kang Cheng is 10,000 taels, Wang Xiao sold more than half of his shares and left only 10 shares, and he can only get 1,000 taels, I don't know if he regrets it.
Kang Cheng originally wanted to deduct his money account in Jinchai Building before he gave Wang Xiao dividends. In this way, Wang Xiao not only couldn't share the money, but also had to pay back more than 100 taels. Seeing this situation, Yang Chao begged for a favor, and Kang regretted that he agreed to let Wang Xiao continue to owe for a while. But he insisted on refusing to give Wang Xiao credit.
After the ten-day performance, the Jinchai Lou temporarily suspended, and the next performance will be ten days later, and the performance must be rehearsed well in these ten days.
The main force of the rehearsal is naturally Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan, both of whom suddenly became '10,000 yuan households', but they did not quit the rivers and lakes, but expressed their willingness to continue to stay in Jinchailou to perform, but Dong Xiaowan wanted to go back to Suzhou temporarily, for fear of accidents, Jinchailou also sent a few thugs to protect along the way.
Therefore, for the time being, Chen Yuanyuan played the role of the adult and became the protagonist and chief director.
Chen Yuanyuan started acting, so he is quite proficient in acting, under her tutelage, plus the rewards for appearing on stage, the little girls in Jinchai Lou are all very energetic, practicing all kinds of acting skills and singing.
Yang Chao returned to the barracks.
Construction has already begun.
The head craftsman from the Ministry of Engineering began to lead people to clean up the accumulated sediment.
The head craftsman said that the situation was better than expected, because although the sediment had silted up the wharf channel, it also buried the large wooden stakes in the past, and those wooden stakes were not rotten and could still be used, so the biggest work was actually only dredging, and after dredging, the wooden sticks were put on shelves to become berths.
It's just that this kind of berth is too simple, Yang Chao discussed with the craftsman, and planned to build a fixed stone dock.
The craftsman said that it was not cost-effective, because once the Yangtze River and the estuary flooded, they would be silted, and in the face of sediment siltation, there was no difference between a stone pier and a wooden pier.
But the cost of the two is very different, if it is wood, it doesn't cost much, counting the dredging together with an estimate of two thousand taels of silver is enough, but if it is a stone wharf, there are no tens of thousands of taels to think about, the most important thing is to build a stone wharf, without a year or two of hard work can not be completed, this made Yang Chao dispel the idea.
Yang Chao is not afraid of spending money, but he lacks time.
However, Yang Chao still let the craftsman look at it, and proposed a plan to build a polder, and after the craftsman looked at the riverbank along the way, he said that this could be repaired, but it also required tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Yang Chao asked the craftsman not to worry about money, and asked him to help build the polder after dredge the wharf.
Bathrooms in the barracks have been built, and hot water can be used for bathing every day.
Regarding the problem of hot water bathing, Yang Chao actually planned to use cold water at the beginning, thinking that cold water could exercise people's will.
But seeing that all the water sources were directly from the Qinhuai River, Yang Chao gave up this plan, not to mention how many thousands of people in Nanjing City discharged sewage into the Qinhuai River every day, just all kinds of parasites were enough for Yang Chao to give up natural cold water.
The rivers of the Ming Dynasty were naturally free of chemical pollution, so the water quality was better than that of later generations, but there were certainly more microorganisms than later generations, and there were naturally more parasites.
Therefore, Yang Chao has always insisted that bathing and drinking water must be boiled.
In addition, Yang Chao's military discipline requires soldiers to take a bath at the end of training every day, so the bathhouse business is very prosperous, fortunately, it is built large enough, so that there is no overcrowding, but it is also to the limit, if Yang Chao's army expands again, it will have to build another one.
