Chapter 292: Ambitious (Part 3)
In the side hall, Ying Chong and Guo Jia were alone. The former first flicked his sleeves, and poured out tens of thousands of small flags from the small void ring, all of which were also gold threads on a red background, drawing golden-crowned Xuanniao.
"First of all, the waterways! These flags, each with a thousand taels of silver. All merchant ships, only those who fly this flag, can pass through the Wanzhou River section of our country!"
On the Yangjiang River, there are about 50,000 merchant ships that sail in this Yangjiang waterway all year round. If this money can be received, there will be at least five million gold a year.
But in fact, there are many merchant ships privately owned by the royal family, which cannot be received. In addition, those world valves along the Yangjiang River, as well as many aquarium on the river, also need to share a part of this money.
In the end, what he can get should be less than a million gold,
"And then the salt!"
Ying Chong raised his hand again and took out the 'cornucopia'. For the convenience of selling salt, this thing was also brought by him to understand the county fiefdom, and he was ready to place it here in the future to make salt nearby.
"From now on, all salt merchants in the seven counties of Wanzhou can only buy from the Anguo Mansion, and the rest of the salt roads need to be cut off!"
Ordinary people need two catties of salt a year, and more than 13 million people in Wanzhou are 26 million catties of salt. Combined with the needs of the rest of the workshops, Wanzhou needs about 650,000 stone of salt every year.
The output of the 'cornucopia' is only 22,000 stones. Even if you no longer pursue high-quality products and turn the formation into coarse salt, which is much worse than refined salt, it will only cost about 40,000 stones, which is far from enough to cope with the consumption of the entire Wanzhou.
However, with the 'cornucopia' thing, coupled with the supply from Shen Wansan's side, he has the confidence and capital to bargain with those big salt merchants.
In the past, the Wuyang Ying clan could only extract about 300,000 gold from a few salt merchants at most. However, his Anguo Mansion has enough strength to really obtain the qualification for land distribution in Wanzhou, and he can get at least 600,000 gold every year!
It is necessary to know that at this time in Wanzhou, the price of coarse salt transported from Kanto was only about one tael to two taels per catty, but when it was sold to the hands of civilians, the highest price had been increased to four taels of silver. The entire salt market in Wanzhou is a large market with an annual trading volume of at least four million gold. An Guoying's extraction of 600,000 gold from it is not too much.
Guo Jia didn't say a word, and listened silently. I thought that this lord was indeed ambitious.
It's just that at this moment, what Ying Chong said is easy, but if you want to really do it and really grasp these two businesses in your hands, you must set off countless bloody storms and experience countless battles and competitions in Wanzhou.
- Their opponent is not only one Wuyang Ying.
It's just that Guo Jia has no intention of objecting, and Anguo Mansion has gained a firm foothold in Wanzhou. Then it is logical to seize the wealth and family business of Wuyang Ying's family business next.
The financial resources of Anguo Mansion are also something that Guo Jia is worried about. He is happy to see the income of more than one million gold increased.
"And oil—"
Ying Chong narrowed his eyes, and then shook his head slightly: "This business will be cut for the time being, and we will talk about it later." ”
He will definitely get involved in this cooking oil business. Due to the heavy rain and the subsequent floods in Xie County, spring ploughing must be in vain. So Ying Chong plans to wait until the turn of spring and summer to plant summer beans directly in the fiefdom.
However, in addition to eating part of the soybeans harvested in the future, farmers can only extract the rest of the oil.
Compared with the hemp seed oil, sesame oil, soybean seed oil, lard, butter and the like used by the people in Qin at this time, soybean oil is undoubtedly more advantageous and much cheaper. The okara after oil extraction can also be used to feed livestock.
But it's still early for the soybean harvest in September, and he hasn't prepared enough mills to talk about it too early.
At this time, the strength of An Guofu is indeed powerful, almost better than when Ying Shentong was alive, but Ying Chong was not carried away. will never force everyone to the opposite side of themselves,
He estimated that the 'tax revenue' on the river could be taken over smoothly by the Anguo Government. In terms of salt, however, there have been some twists and turns. After all, those salt sellers are not easy to mess with, and if they want to subdue them, they must take some effort.
At this time, it is not appropriate to force those oil merchants to the point where they have to turn their faces with him for the soybean oil that has not yet seen the shadow.
According to Yingchong's estimation, after the flood, Daqin solved the problem of the displaced people and resisted the southward movement of the seven divisions of the left wing of the Xiongnu. At that time, the prestige of Anguo Mansion was extremely high, and no one in Wanzhou dared to disobey him. This matter can be taken into account,
"Waterways and oil and salt business, my An Guogong is naturally bound to win. Even if the money can't be obtained for the time being, it is necessary to cut off the financial resources of the Wuyang Ying clan first. ”
Guo Jiafeng smiled lightly, with a different look in his eyes: "It's just that Lord Guogong, if you want to force Ying to abandon the disease and take the initiative to make trouble, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”
"Bengong naturally knows in his heart, with the temperament of that old thing, at most he instigated some rebellious people to attack the county, and he hid in the dark to fan the flames. Let him take the initiative to jump out and fight to the death with Ben Duke, it will be really difficult for him. ”
Ying Chong sneered, his eyes full of disdain: "But it doesn't matter if he doesn't come forward, just wait for Bengong to cut the flesh with a blunt knife and cut him to death with a knife! ”
What he is most fortunate about now is that the previous Wuyang Ying clan is the weakest family in the Nine Kingdoms Mansion. Coupled with the squandering of Ying's illness over the years, the silver money accumulated in the Ying clan should not exceed two million gold.
"Student understood!"
Guo Jia smiled clearly, thinking that Yingchong's main purpose was to force that Wuyang Yinggou to jump over the wall in a hurry. That renunciation disease seems to have become a knot in the heart of the prince, and it must be removed.
"So where are the three going to start?"
"Naturally, it is easy first and then difficult, take the river first!"
Ying Chong's eyes flashed with meaning: "But before that, you need to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys,"
※※※※
When Ying Chong and Guo Jia agreed on all the details of developing financial resources, Ying Xuanniang, Yang Ye, Wang Meng and others also agreed on a plan for the reorganization of the trilogy.
The total number of 32,000 people, 3,600 five-star ink armor, a total of five towns of the army, divided into 'left, right, front and back' five towns, can also be called the first town to the fifth town.
The left town will be Yang Ye, the right town will be the master road, the former town will be folded, the back town will be Guan Sheng, and the upper town will be Yingzhi.
Among them, Yang Ye, regardless of the way of the master and the folding of Kexing, was born in the Kwantung world, and his martial arts and art of war have been passed down from generation to generation, extremely clever, and he has repeatedly made military exploits five years ago, and is well known by the military and people of Luozhou. The two of them are responsible for leading those Kanto righteous servants who defected, and they can serve the public.
Guan Sheng is an old general under the command of Ying Shentong, who was dismissed by the imperial court after the battle of Shenluyuan. Before being repeatedly helped by Yingchong, he shouted the sentence 'the grace of life'. This person is loyal and trustworthy, and the old man of war is here, and he can rely on him as a helper.
And the last Yingzhi was a brigade commander in Anguo Right Town, who was born in the side branch of the Wuyang Ying clan. This time, it was recommended by Ying Xuanniang to serve as the town general. The ability to lead soldiers is on par with Guan Sheng, but his martial arts cultivation is a little worse. However, compared to the first four, this is Ying Chong's real 'own family', and he is the fifth heavenly position in the Anguo Ying clan.
Among them, the left town led by Yang Ye has the strongest combat power, and the other four towns are all mixed after being dispersed. However, because they are all old soldiers, as long as they train for more than 20 days, the combat strength of the four towns will not be much weaker than that of the border army.
