The revenue that Zhou Chen said was the money he earned through the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market.

The establishment of this mutual market in northern Xinjiang by the imperial court is naturally not convenient for those merchants in the Ming Dynasty and on the grassland.

Whether it was the merchants of the Ming Dynasty renting shops in it, or the herdsmen on the grassland renting sheds in it, these were all things that required silver.

Although there is not much money for renting shops and sheds, there are at least about 1,000 of them in the entire Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market.

From the day of the establishment of the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market to now, more than half a year has passed.

The silver needed for these shops and sheds was accumulated to everything, and the rent was tens of thousands of taels of silver, to say the least.

Moreover, the rent of these shop sheds only occupies a small part of the revenue of the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market.

The real place to make money in the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market is the dividend tap for trading and trading, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is essentially the commercial tax levied by the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market.

In today's Ming Dynasty, the imperial court actually doesn't pay much attention to and care about commercial taxes at all, just 30 taxes and 1.

Compared with the 15 taxes and even the 10 taxes of agricultural taxes, the 30 taxes and 1 are really very low.

The rule that Zhou Chen customized in the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market is that the profit party needs to pay a dividend to the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market in a fifteen-out manner, which is used as the operating capital of the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market.

Of course, the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market is not asking for this money with empty teeth.

As long as the money is paid, all commercial transactions are guaranteed by the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market.

Even when necessary, the thousand-household office where Youyu Linwei was stationed in the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market would be dispatched.

Officially because of this, the merchants in the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market did not have any resistance, and all of them paid the same amount of dividends on time and on point.

Nowadays, the scale of the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are countless transactions every day.

After more than half a year has passed, the Beijiang Mutual Market has actually obtained more than 100,000 taels of silver in the transactions of these merchants.

After removing the daily use of the Northern Xinjiang Market, Zhou Chen planned to transport a full 100,000 taels of silver to the capital and hand it over to Emperor Hongzhi.

This 100,000 taels of snowflake silver is definitely not a small amount, in addition to drawing a thousand households from the right Yulin Wei for escort, with the elite of Badao and Jinyiwei, Zhou Chen can be more assured.

And the reason why Zhou Chen personally waited in the main hall of the county government today was to wait for the main bookkeeper Wang Yan and the thousand households who were on duty in the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market to escort Yin Liang to the county office.

As for the fact that Chen Yun and Xu Yan were able to wipe out the White Lotus Sect of Datong Mansion overnight, it was actually not expected by Zhou Chen before that.

Everyone sat in the main hall of the county government and waited for about half an hour, and Wang Yan, the chief bookkeeper, and a thousand households of Youyu Linwei finally rushed to the main hall of the county government.

Whether it is escorting the felons of the White Lotus Sect or running the full 100,000 taels of snowflake silver, this is all a matter of sooner rather than later.

So when Wang Yan and the right Yulin Wei Qianhu arrived, Zhou Chen didn't delay for any time, he directly led everyone out of the county office, and began to check the convoy that escorted Yin Liang.

And Chen Yun and Xu Yan, the two Jinyi Guards, led a group of Jinyi Guards elites back to the secret prison to extract those White Lotus Sect felons.

As soon as everything was ready, the Thousand Households of the Right Yulin Guard converged with the Jinyi Guards of the One Hundred Households, escorting the Silver Liang and the felons of the White Lotus Sect to the capital.

After seeing that the trace of the convoy completely disappeared in Youyu County, Zhou Chen returned to the county office.

Although the team has the supreme master of Badao, and there are also the elite of Jinyi Wei led by Chen Yun and Xu Yan, the worry in Zhou Chen's heart still exists.

It's a pity that Zhou Chen, as the magistrate of Youyu County, is not allowed to leave the place under his jurisdiction without authorization before he gets the order.

So even if Zhou Chen was quite worried in his heart, he could only hope that Badao and the others would be safe all the way.

In the blink of an eye, time flies.

Counting the days, it has been more than a month since Zibadao and others escorted the felons of the Silver Liang and the White Lotus Sect out of Youyu County.

According to the usual situation, in terms of the distance between Youyu County and the capital, these few days are the approximate time for them to come back.

On this day, Zhou Chen, who had nothing to do, was about to leave the county government to go to the city for a walk.

One is to observe the people's livelihood in the county, and the other is to soothe and soothe the boredom in the heart.

After all, Badao and the others have been away from Youyu County for more than a month, and there has been no news back during this period, so Zhou Chen will naturally have a lot of worries in his heart because of this.

It's just that when Zhou Chen just walked out of the gate of the county government a few steps, on the spacious street, there was suddenly a rapid and crisp sound of horses' hooves.

Zhou Chen looked for prestige, only to see dozens of horsemen galloping on the street, rushing straight towards the gate of the county government.

On horseback, there are Dongchang fanzi wearing high hats, black robes, official boots, and longbows on their backs.

As an official of the imperial court and Zhou Chen, who is also a member of the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, he is no stranger to the origin of these dozens of Dongchang fans, which are the elite forces in Dongchang.

Whether it is in the court or in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, the black-clothed arrow team is famous.

Now the black-clothed arrow team of Dongchang, which is easy to leave the capital, has actually come to a bitter cold place such as Youyu County, and there is a chance that an envoy from the capital has come.

Since there are already envoys from the capital, should Ba Dao, Chen Yun, Xu Yan and others also come back?

His gaze slowly extended back, and Zhou Chen finally saw the person he wanted to see in his heart.

Behind the dozens of black-clothed arrow teams, there was a group of more than 100 Jinyi guards dressed in flying fish suits, who were the same brocade guards who left Youyu County for the capital more than a month ago.

In front of more than 100 brocade-clothed guards, there were four high-headed horses with shiny coats.

Among the four people riding on horseback, Ba Dao, Xu Yun and Xu Yan naturally needless to say.

The person who had attracted Zhou Chen's attention at the moment was a middle-aged eunuch with a white and bearded face, who was dressed in a bright red robe, and looked particularly festive.

This middle-aged eunuch should be an envoy sent by Emperor Hongzhi.
