Chapter 85
"Big boss! It's finally done, and you're getting a whole boatload of the kind of stones you wanted. But it cost more than 3,000 taels of silver! The fifth master saw Li Xiao hugging his fists.
"Three thousand taels ......!" Li Xiao was also a little surprised by this price, but thinking about the function of this stone, it should still be worth it. However, you should think about it yourself, and it is best to find a place to produce ore. The price is really a bit unbearable for him!
"Ahem......! It doesn't matter, the profit from this thing will be high. Li Xiao smiled reluctantly.
"Uh......!"
"Fifth master, don't be careful, it's good that things can be done like this. You still bother to inquire about the situation of the Tartars these days. Li Xiao hurriedly comforted the fifth master, he had been busy for so long to get this matter done. It shows that this ore is indeed difficult to get!
In addition, the matter of Zhenjiang Fort also made Li Xiao feel palpitations. Pre-war reconnaissance is still necessary, and if it hits the main force of the Eight Banners that day, the consequences are unpredictable.
By September, the weather was slowly getting cooler. The workshop of the factory also began to take shape, and on October 1, the factory workshop was officially capped. After the typhoon, several ships went to sea in succession. The winter coal storage has been done well in advance, and 50,000 catties of coal are enough for the island to survive this cold winter.
Li Xiu caught more than 200 piglets from the coast of Shandong, and if Shen Guangzuo knew that his nephew was actually in charge of raising pigs on Phi Dao, he didn't know how he would feel.
After settling down on the island, Li Xiao came to Shandong again. This time, he directly found Chen Fu with a nitrated head. is accompanied by the second Li Xiu, and it is time for him to experience it.
"Old Governor!" Li Xiao clenched his fists and said to Chen Fuzuo.
"Brother Xiao is really a young man! This time I brought so many heads, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for my family to think about this Hou Ye. Chen Fu said with a smile.
"Oops! Congratulations to Master Chen, this cup of promotion wine is indispensable. ”
"That's nature! I don't know how much these 200 heads are worth? Chen Fu asked with a smile.
"Not much, five small ships of 1,000 materials, all of them need to be transported. How is it? ”
"Brother Xiao! Didn't you Lord Mao fight the Tartars with warships? How can so many transport ships be used? Chen Fuhu asked suspiciously. The Chen family eats this bowl of smuggled rice, and if a competitor suddenly comes out...... That's not a good deal!
"Oh my old governor! Where are the naval forces in the Tartars, even if we have warships, we must be able to find opponents. There is such a battleship, it is enough. We want transport ships, mainly to facilitate the transportation of troops to the shore. Li Xiao replied with a smile, and the two of them were really harmonious.
"I see! No problem, this matter is on the old man. With these two hundred heads, the marquis of my family is no problem. It's just that......! ”
"The old superintendent says it's okay!"
"Is there a live mouth?"
As soon as Chen Fu said Li Xiao, he understood, and he was still afraid that Li Xiao would kill them and take the lead. As long as there is a living mouth, there will be no such thing as killing good people and risking merit.
"Huh! Don't worry, Lord Mao, we will never kill the people of the Ming Dynasty. We can't do anything about killing good people and risking merit. These heads are all under the Zhenglan flag, but unfortunately there is no head of Niu Lu. Everyone has a token as proof, and you can rest assured that it will definitely stand up to the inspection of the military department. ”
"Oh! That's it! You don't need to report this matter to the adult, the old man can make the decision. That's five transports of 1,000 materials! Chen Fu nodded, and if he had a token, he could explain it to the Ministry of War. Besides, the military department has already been taken care of, and it will not be checked to death!
"Old Governor! I won't tell you the truth, this time the kid came to Shandong, and there was one more thing to discuss with the old governor. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"What do you think this is?" Li Xiao took out a three-inch square piece of soap and handed it over.
"Soaphorn! The condition is so good, it must be expensive. Chen Fu glanced at it and asked.
It's not that there is no soap these days, but that the price of soap is very high. It's so high that most people can't afford it! Chen Fujiu is in the Chen family, and he also enjoys wealth, and there is no reason not to know him.
"Twenty sons!" Li Xiao gestured two fingers. To be honest, Li Xiao was a little weak when he compared. The cost of processing soap on the island is no more than two big ones. This time it was ten times the profit to sell out, and he was really afraid that Chen Fu would not do it.
"Twenty eldest sons?" Chen Fu's eyes were about to fall.
"Uh......!" Li Xiao "chuckled" in his heart, and it was really going to be higher. In his heart, soap is still the kind of thing that lasts a few dollars.
"How many you have, the old man wants it." Chen Fu was so excited that he almost hugged Li Xiao and took two bites.
You must know that this soap in Jinan City will be bought for one or two pieces of silver. It's often out of stock, and I've heard that it's more expensive in the capital. Twenty eldest sons, this is simply a free gift.
"Uh......! Temporarily! Temporarily! It can provide 50,000 yuan a month. Li Xiao rubbed his hands excitedly. This month is a thousand taels of silver, and if you go back to expand production, it will be a lot of money.
"Fifty thousand?" Chen Fu was a little dumbfounded, and rare things are expensive. Soap is worth a lot because it's too little to buy. But this next month can provide 50,000 yuan ......!
"Old Governor! This thing can be used in every house, you ......! ”
"The old man wants it!" Chen Fu thought for a moment and said categorically.
Twenty big dollars to buy, such a large amount of money to sell for one or two pieces of silver is definitely impossible. But it's okay to sell it for forty dollars. At this price, even a medium-sized family in the county can definitely afford it. Besides, this thing is a consumable, so you have to buy it again after you run out.
Not to mention, sell this thing to the capital or Jiangnan. The profit will be higher, don't look at the scary figure of 50,000 yuan a month. If it is really rolled out, 50,000 yuan may not be enough.
With this business, the monthly income is definitely more than one thousand taels. It's good business!
Li Xiao was also happy to contract the soap business to the Chen family, after all, this required the sale and transportation to contact the seller. These things are all troublesome things, the Chen family has channels, but Li Xiao does not. Li Xiao directly contracted the soap business to the Chen family. Free up more energy to do other things, speaking of which, Li Xiao still earned!
"Old Governor, the boy still wants to call in some more men. But I don't want to call in Penglai, you see ......! ”
"How many are called?"
"It's five hundred, too, but all five hundred are craftsmen. I know that Lord Chen's subordinates are in charge of the craftsmen in the army, you see ......! ”
"Oh! The old man had to ask my family about this matter to find out. ”
"Then there is Lao Lao's good words!"
