Yu Xiaotian didn't expect him to spend so much money, but after thinking about it for a while, he also found that it was indeed the case, he had been tossing wildly on Nanri Island for most of the past six months, and he had built a large area of various workshops, which was all money!

In addition, he didn't pay too much attention to all kinds of expenses, as long as he felt the need, he waved a large amount of money to spend on the council hall, but he didn't expect him to toss it so much, but it caused the financial deficit of the sea wolf, if he continued to toss like this, he estimated that it would not take a few months, and he would declare bankruptcy.

He looked at the ledger roughly, closed the ledger and stepped forward, leaning back in his chair, and began to worry.

"Isn't there a good business over there in Maoshengyuan? I should be able to get some money back in the near future! Isn't it? Yu Xiaotian crossed his fingers and counted the next possible income.

Zhao Mazi shook his head with a black line on his face and said: "Maoshengyuan's business is really good, but the big boss can't count on it, don't forget that the big boss negotiated for the Li family at the beginning, and continued to invest five thousand taels of silver in Maoshengyuan as the principal, and now only two thousand taels of Mao Shengyuan have been given, and the remaining three thousand taels of silver have been said by the big boss last time from our payment and dividends!"

In this way, if you gouge out another 3,000 taels, it would be good to get back 2,000 taels of silver, but now the iron and artillery works on the island and the shipyard are all over the place, and these 2,000 taels of silver are not enough to go to Guangzhou to buy iron! ”

"What about tolls? Isn't it good to have a good income from tolls now? Yu Xiaotian hit the idea of the toll again.

"That being said, the silver collected every month now also has a few thousand taels of silver, but there are too many craftsmen on the island, and these silvers not only have to feed our brothers, but also give the craftsmen money to start work, and at the end of this month, they will need a few thousand taels of silver, and these silvers are just enough at most!" Li Gouzi took over the topic again and replied to Yu Xiaotiandao.

Yu Xiaotian counted with his fingers, there was really no input, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly patted his head and said, "By the way, what about the glass mirror?" Did the glass mirror hand over to Mao Shengyuan? ”

Zhao Mazi nodded and said: "The twenty glass mirrors made a few days ago have just been sent to Maoshengyuan, Fuzhou, and there is no news yet!" ”

Yu Xiaotian was happy now, stood up and said, "That's easy!" These 20 glass mirrors, I can guarantee that they will sell for a good price! In addition, you give me a few days, and I can make new things for you, during this time, I can fish for seaweed, burn grass and wood ashes with seaweed, how is it going now? I forgot to ask about it for the past two days! ”

Li Gouzi replied: "The grass and wood ash has accumulated a lot during this time!" However, the ashes of the seaweed are all on the east coast, and the person in charge of this matter told me today that he has accumulated a lot, and he can't use it on the Liulichang side, and asked me if I want to stop! Otherwise, there will be no place to put it! ”

"Don't stop! Don't stop! As much ash as you want, you have to continue to burn if you don't need it for the time being! I'm afraid the dosage will be large in the future! I'm going to use a lot of it tomorrow! This time I'll get you something that will make you rich!

By the way, there is, the toll thing, I think it's about the same, from next month, the toll will be doubled on the original basis, we used to charge too cheap, some time ago it was a preferential period, and now the preferential period should be time! If you don't want to pay it, you can! In the future, when they go to Fuzhou again, let them ask for more blessings! After Yu Xiaotian heard this, his mood suddenly improved, and his brain seemed to suddenly become flexible, and he opened his mouth to Li Gouzi and Zhao Mazi.

Li Gouzi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked in surprise, "Double?" Will it be too much? ”

Yu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Not much!" Not much! In the past, a boat cost twenty or thirty taels of silver, and it was too cheap for them to care about it for a quarter and a month! Now let them pay eighty to one hundred taels of silver in one season, which is not much! When they run down, even the smallest boat, they will earn at least seven or eight hundred taels of silver on one trip, which is nothing!

That's all I tell you, it's still low, and now the territory we control is not big enough, if it's bigger, no matter how high the price is, there are people willing to pay!

What has Mixed Jianglong been doing these days? Have you sent someone to inquire, this old boy was cleaned up by us last time, and it is estimated that he has already hated us to the bone! I guess this guy won't give up, and he will definitely make a comeback and seek revenge on us!

So instead of waiting for him to come to the door, it's better to keep an eye on him, give him a reason, let us do it, and clean up this old boy completely!

Aren't we short of silver? This old boy has saved a lot of money on Bactrian Island for so many years, so let's spend it first!

The bigger the territory we control, the easier it is to collect the toll money, the south is too chaotic now, and it is not convenient for us to go over, but Funing's side is our hometown, and Mingjianglong is our old friend, rather than letting him occupy the pit and not, it is better for us to go over and take care of the sea surface in the Funing area, and also benefit the fishermen, right? ”

After Li Gouzi and Zhao Mazi heard this, they were both sweating profusely, and now they found that Yu Xiaotian is not an honest person, don't look at the surface is very loyal, but this heart is by no means as simple as they think!

It turns out that this guy has long been thinking about the territory of the mixed river dragon, he didn't say it before, it was not enough, but now after half a year of tossing, the strength of the sea wolf has skyrocketed under his leadership, and he already has the strength to destroy the mixed river dragon, and now he is still talking about it so high-sounding, to put it bluntly, he still covets the sea surface in the area of Funing Prefecture.

And Yu Xiaotian is right, the larger the sea area controlled by their sea wolves, the greater the benefits they can obtain, now they only control the north of Meizhou Bay, to the Minjiang River estuary, in the past, the maritime merchants had to pay them tolls, if the sea they controlled was wider, the seamen had to pay them more tolls.

On the surface, it seems that the maritime merchants suffer a loss, but in the case that the imperial government cannot effectively provide protection for the maritime merchants, and Akari also restricts the merchants from going to sea to do business, if the pirates of the small group of maritime merchants are allowed to run rampant, the damage to the maritime merchants will be greater, and the price paid by the maritime merchants will be higher when they go to sea.

On the surface, Yu Xiaotian extorted the maritime merchants, but in fact, he established an order in the area under his jurisdiction, so that the maritime merchants paid a certain price, and the cost of going to sea was relatively reduced, in essence, the maritime merchants obtained more benefits, which is also the reason why the maritime merchants were willing to pay a certain amount of money to the sea wolf when passing through the Fuzhou area.

Yu Xiaotian's practice is not to kill chickens and eggs, but in essence, to release water and raise fish, so that more maritime merchants can conduct maritime trade under the rules he has established.

If Yu Xiaotian could one day control the sea lanes along the entire coastal area from south to north, not only would it not necessarily be a bad thing for maritime merchants, but on the contrary, it would be possible to establish more orderly rules of maritime trade.

Now that Yu Xiaotian is shy in his pocket, he is staring at the territory of the mixed river dragon, of course, it is not a bad thing, this will be of great benefit to their sea wolf in the future, Li Gouzi and Zhao Mazi will naturally not object.

What's more, they used to live on Xiaohuangdao on the Funing side, and it was the Chaojianglong men who forced them to flee to Fuzhou, and now Yu Xiaotian wants to take them back and regain control of the sea between Xiaohuangdao and Funing, so they naturally welcome it with both hands and feet.

Zhao Mazi even recalled what Yu Xiaotian said when he took them to evacuate Dahuangdao: "We have to come back sooner or later!" ”

Now Yu Xiaotian is going to fulfill his original promise to those who came out of Xiaohuangdao!

"Since the defeat of the mixed river dragon back to Funing, it can be said that he hated us to the core, according to the news that came back from the detailed work over there, during this time he recruited troops and horses on the Funing side, and swore that he would take revenge for this arrow!

Although they didn't provoke us much during this time, and how they moved the boat that we passed by Funing, there was news from Xizuo that Chaojianglong was actually waiting for an opportunity, and planned to go south again after his strength was sufficient, to wipe us out! ”

Li Gouzi said to Xiaotian.

After Yu Xiaotian heard this, he immediately laughed: "Ha Luha...... This Chen Jiu is really a lovely person! It's just right to hold a grudge like this, I want to see how capable he is!

Inform Ma Xiao for me, and ask him to pay more attention to Chen Jiu's movements in the north in Nangantang, strengthen the vigilance of Nangantang, and don't let Chen Jiu sneak attack them!

If Mingjianglong doesn't dare to do something to us now, then you can find a way to find an excuse for us, let Chen Jiu provoke us, and give us a reason to find him unlucky!

There is one more thing, I want to build a village in Jilong Bay, Taiwan, and I will need a lot of people to go over in the future, from today onwards, people from the land will no longer stay on Nanri Island for the time being, and if they gather a boat, they will be sent to Jilong Bay! But remember, to ensure the supply of food, you can't let them stop!

It should be supplied to them, let's smash the pot and sell iron to supply them, so that they can build a village for us with peace of mind, and find some smart craftsmen on the island, and send them over, let them take these people to build a village, and I will go back again to determine the location of the village!

This is related to our century-old plan, you don't think that you are short of money and don't do it, the silver is not enough, I will find a way for you! ”

Li Gouzi and Zhao Mazi both felt that their heads were a little big, Yu Xiaotian's stall was too open, which made them a little overwhelmed, with their ability, it was really a little difficult for them to let them preside over so many things, but now they can only go up hard.

So the two nodded and agreed, and after discussing some things with Yu Xiaotian, they left and started to work.

And Yu Xiaotian also got up and went straight to the glass field.
