Chapter 1086 Investment
Even if Li Yao set the price of food and accommodation in the polo field to be more expensive than outside, everyone is willing to spend in it for convenience, and with the food and room in the polo field, Li Yao can still earn a lot of silver every day.
However, there are a lot of people to support in the polo field, after all, the place is large, and there are dozens of people just to clean it, plus Li Yao has placed 20 guards in the polo field, stewards, cooks, grooms, men, account rooms, etc., there are more than 160 staff members alone, and putting so many people is also to serve the guests of the polo field.
In addition to the manpower, it is necessary to maintain sixty horses, and the maintenance of all kinds of utensils, all of which have to be expensed, and if these costs are removed every day, you can only earn a hundred and ten taels of silver.
This is also because it is the peak season, and in winter and the hottest time, it is estimated that not so many people will come to the polo field to play, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make ends meet.
In this way, the revenue in the peak season and the off-season is averaged, and Li Yao budgets that the polo field can earn about 10,000 taels of silver every year.
But even if she earns 10,000 taels of silver every year, it is much more than the income from farming with this clod of soil, and besides, she has now earned more than 200,000 taels of silver because of the polo field.
If you have money in your hands, it is not Li Yao's style not to spend it.
Li Yao still has a jewelry shop that has not been opened, and the jewelry shop has been renovated at this time, but because there are not enough goods to shop, it is not open for the time being.
There is not enough goods mainly because the craftsmen who can make jewelry in her hands have mainly focused on making VIP cards for polo fields, and the jewelry has not been done much.
Zhang Dachun and Li Shan also personally escorted a batch of goods over a few days ago, and the reason why they came so slowly was because they laid dart strongholds in some big counties along the road according to Li Yao's instructions, bought real estate, shops, horses, looked for talents, and talked about cooperation with Zhu Yongchun in Shangqing County.
But after some operation, there has been a few reasonable and fast routes from several mining sites to Jingyang, plus the county has its own base as a turnover station, so that the loading and unloading of goods is also much more convenient, and it will save time and effort to deliver goods in the future.
Especially from the South China Sea to Jingyang, according to Li Yao's requirements, it only takes seven or eight days to send a trip.
Zhang Dachun and the others not only talked about jade during this time, but also found a source of agate, gems and pearls.
However, most of the gems and pearls are pulled out by local villagers in the gem-producing area, and most of the pearls are fished out from the sea by local fishermen.
Zhang Dachun and others were unfamiliar with the place and could not snatch food from the mouths of these merchants, so as not to arouse the dissatisfaction of the local merchants, so they had to sign contracts with many local merchants and receive the goods from them at a higher price.
Fortunately, these merchants are scattered, these pearls and gems are not monopolized, although the price is higher, but compared to the goods sent to Jingyang by those merchants, the price is still much lower, and there are also a lot of benefits to be made from transporting them.
When Li Yao didn't do the treasure business before, he didn't know how much investment this thing would take, but now he bought a few batches of it, although Master Yan said that these goods were enough for this year, but the silver that Li Yao sent to Zhang Dachun was also given to Huo Huoguang by them.
