When it comes to going out to make up money, Xia Jing thinks it's better to wait first, and wait until the day after tomorrow when the shop opens to see the situation.

Tong Song's servant sent the guests away, and said with a painful face when he returned: "Master, was this Qianwang Mansion born by bandits?" But if we meet them, we will ruin our wealth, a thousand ploughing oxen, a thousand mules and horses, they are robbing! ”

Tong Song put down the teacup, "I don't know if their ancestors are bandits or not, but the people who were able to rebel and establish the Dayu Dynasty back then, how much kindness and ruthlessness do you think there is in his blood?" ”

Little guy: "It's not a good stubble anyway!" ”

Tong Song felt that he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, and when he met Princess Qian, he could only be willingly knocked by her.

He didn't dare to refuse, what a grievance!

The roots of the Tong family are in Lingnan, if he and the Qian Wangfu work against each other, in the end, no matter who wins or loses, it will be the result of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.

Tong Song looked at the sun outside, and sighed secretly in his heart, since he can't resist, then lie down and enjoy the process of being treated with respect by King Qian.

He is also past the age of impulsiveness, enthusiasm, and recklessness, otherwise the elders of the family would not hand over part of the family business to him to take care of.

Mr. Zhang returned to the mansion and separated from Xia Jing, and hurriedly went to King Qian's study.

"Lord Wang, Weichen is back."

"Have fun, you're willing to come back!" As he spoke, King Qian threw a ledger into his arms.

"Ouch, Lord Wang, all the way back, Wechen is sweating hot, can't you let Wechen rest first?"

Like a hot potato, Mr. Zhang threw the account book into Mr. Yan's arms on the side.

Mr. Yan: "."

Bullying honest people, right?

He put the ledger on the table, "What are you throwing at me?" You've always been in charge of logistics. ”

Mr. Zhang fanned the wind and wiped the sweat on his face, "I know that I am in charge, let me rest for a while, you can help Niannian." ”

Mr. Yan glanced at King Qian, and saw that he didn't say anything, so he could only helplessly pick up the account book again and turn it to the back.

"When I first arrived in Lingnan, I received a total of 330,000 taels of taxes this month. Expenditure: The prince rewarded several masters with 10,000 taels each, a total of 50,000 taels. The guard battalion purchased 2,000 taels of summer clothing and 500 taels of food this month. There are 12,000 recruits, 24,000 taels for clothing, 5,000 taels for food this month, and all the Yamen officials' silver for this month."

Mr. Zhang plucked his ears, "Don't read the detailed accounts, just say the total." ”

Mr. Yan shook the account book in his hand, "The ones I read just now are also the total, and in the end, the income is 330,000 taels, and the expenditure is 83,355 taels." ”

Mr. Zhang looked at King Qian: "Lord Wang, isn't there still a balance, don't worry." ”

Mr. Yan sighed, "This month, because there is a lot of income, so there is a balance, and next month, the government will not have any income, how long do you say this bit of silver can last?"

King Qian stroked his forehead, endured his headache and said: "Now that a lot of soldiers and horses have been recruited, the military camp has to be built, the ordnance and horses have to be prepared, and this pen has to be silver, how long do you say this silver can withstand the expenses?" ”

There was a moment of silence in the study.

None of them know how to make a living, and even if they do, they can't provide for such a big expense in a short period of time.

After a long time, King Qian remembered and asked, "Where did you go with the princess today?" ”

Mr. Zhang talked about leaving the mansion in detail, and at the end, "Lord, if the princess knows how to do business, do you want to call her over to ask for her opinion?" ”

"This king has lived with her for more than ten years, and she has a few catties and a few taels of this king knows better than you!" King Qian snorted coldly.

Mr. Zhang touched his nose: "."

The next day, at the gate of the southern city, a neatly arranged convoy lined up to enter the city, and when it was their turn, the leader took out a token, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city took a look at it, and hurriedly let them pass.

The people waiting to enter the city at the back were full of curiosity about the body of this group of people, and what was carried in the carriage?

The leader of the team was Fang Ji, who was originally appointed by Xia Jing to be the person in charge of the construction of Yantian in Linhai Town.

This time, Hong Fuzhong stayed in Linhai Town, and he led the team to send the first batch of dried salt to Fucheng as agreed.

This time, due to the urgency of time, six wagons of salt were dried, and each shop in the alley could get one cart of sea salt, and each shop on the other two streets could get two carts of salt.

It's not a lot, but it should be enough to sell in the shop for the time being, and if it's not enough, they accept to pay in advance.

"Captain Fang, you have finally arrived, you have worked hard all the way, first go to the backyard with your brothers to rest for a while, and leave it to me to unload the car."

Ding Daqiang saw the carriage stopped at the door of the store, and trotted out with an excited look on his thigh.

Keep him waiting!

Fang Ji asked the brother who had escorted the car together to the backyard to rest.

He politely refused: "Shopkeeper Ding, you are busy, the brothers go to the backyard to rest, please take care of one or two, I will go to the princess first to ask for peace, and report the matter of Yantian to her." ”

Ding Daqiang smiled: "Okay, you can go, see the master and help me say hello." ”

Xia Jing counted the budget for next month, and heard that Fang Ji had returned, "Oh, please invite him in." ”

Fang Ji followed Hongmei into the small courtyard, and when he saw the simplicity of the small courtyard, he felt sad for his master, the dignified princess actually lived in such a humble place.

Xia Jing arranged her study in the side room, and the tall Fang Ji had to bow his head when he stepped into the threshold.

"I've been waiting for you to come back, come and sit, and serve tea with white plums."

"I have seen the princess, and my subordinates are fortunate to live up to their mission, and this time they brought back six truckloads of sea salt, as well as a lot of seafood."

Xia Jing put down her pen, "Seafood? This kind of thing is not fresh at all, you should have taken a lot of effort to bring it all the way, and you notified your brothers to come to the house for dinner in the evening. ”

Fang Ji was slightly stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xia Jing to be so enthusiastic, and hurriedly opened his mouth to refuse for the brothers, "I only brought some seafood that is easy to feed, which should be enough for the masters to eat, and I also brought two wagons of dried kelp." ”

"My subordinates and brothers eat seafood every day by the sea, and when I come back this time, my brothers have been thinking about the food in the city, why do you want to eat seafood, princess, you can let them go."

"Haha. You're right, I'm ignoring that. Xia Jing turned back to Hongmei and said, "You go to the kitchen and give an order, let them roast a few roast chickens for Captain Fang to take back, and give them to the brothers." ”

Hongmei took the order and left.

"My subordinates thank the princess for the brothers." Fang Ji got up and thanked him, and sat back down.

Xia Jing asked: "Is the construction of the Yantian still going well?" ”

"Everything is going well, but those bandits tried to escape twice, and we caught them back, and they taught a hard lesson, and now the salt fields are quite smooth."

Xia Jing bowed: "That's good, you should pay more attention to security." If you feel that there is a shortage of personnel, you can talk to Da Zhuang, or write to me to tell me, if you really can't do it, you can transfer more people over, in short, Yantian cannot afford to lose. ”

On May 28, all was fine.

On the main street and the north and south alleys of Fucheng, four shops opened at the same time, and firecrackers rang out in unison, so it was not lively.

The most attractive thing for the people is the product in the store - salt!

The refined salt, which is as white as snow, is cleaner than the refined salt sold by the government.

It's the best of the best!

With such high-quality fine salt, you may think that the price is unattainable, right?

But the prices of these four shops are very close to the people, the official salt costs 50 wen a catty, and the refined salt sold by this store only costs 10 wen per catty.

With such an affordable price, as soon as it began to be sold, the people flocked to it, but they were afraid that if they were one step late, such an affordable salt would be gone.

Especially the two shops in the alleys, the people who live in the alleys of the north and south cities are all low-level people.

In order to grab a pound of salt, some aunts ran away from one of their shoes.

In the teahouse opposite the salt shop on the main street, Xia Jing looked at her shop from the window on the second floor and sighed: "It seems that our salt fields are still too small, so Fang Ji will go back and speed up the expansion." ”

Fang Ji was also taken aback by the enthusiastic people, "Yes, my subordinates will take their brothers back today, and let those captives build a large salt field." ”

Xia Jing gave him an idea, "If you are really short of people, go to Xiao Wu, he has 5,000 recruits in his hands, and he can just go to Linhai Town to train for a while." ”

Fang Ji took a sip of tea and suppressed his shock, "Yes, subordinates, I will go to the fifth master to discuss later." ”

In the same teahouse, not only Xia Jing and her party are paying attention to the salt shop.

Another tea room.

"Tong Dashao, this shop is really opened by the princess?"

The young master of the Lou family has doubts, he has not been very concerned about the family business, and today he also met the young master of the Tong family by chance in the teahouse.

He thinks that the princess of Yipin will compete with the people for profit.

The Tong family opened the fan and shook it slowly, "Do you think I lied to you like this?" ”

The young master of the Chen family raised his eyebrows and withdrew his gaze from the window, "Lou Shao, don't forget, King Qian's Mansion has only received 110,000 taels of silver from each of our families this month. ”

"The 110,000 taels of silver have something to do with this?" The young master of the Lou family doesn't care anymore, and he also knows that there was a lot of blood in the family some time ago.

The young master of the Chen family shook his head: "When they first arrived in Lingnan, they couldn't wait to find fault and squeeze the three of us, which shows that they are so poor that they urgently need silver for emergency relief." ”

The young master of the Lou family punched the wall, "I don't know when the imperial court will recall them, they are like wearing a tight spell on their heads in Lingnan, and they don't dare to be too presumptuous in anything." ”

Looking at such an innocent man, Tong Song shook his head and reminded them, "Aren't you curious about where the salt on the other side comes from?" ”

Young Master Lou scratched his head: "That's right, their salt is really as white as snow, it's so beautiful, I don't know where you got it?" ”

Tong Song and the young master of the Chen family glanced at each other, and there was a deep unwillingness and worry in their eyes.

Tong, Lou, and Chen, as the three major families in Lingnan, all have grocery stores, and they are all involved in the sale of official salt.

Now that such refined salt on the other side is only sold for ten wen a catty, who will they sell their black and yellow 'inferior' salt for fifty wen a catty?

Mr. Zhang has been paying attention to Xia Jing's several shops, and he has always been curious about how good the business will be if he only sells one product when he opens a store.

When he finished his business in the morning, he ran to the shop to take a look.

"Huh! Such a good business, is this not to rob with silver? ”

Mr. Zhang squeezed in and took a look, only to know that the so-called commodity was salt!

Or white as snow!

He originally wanted to ask the shopkeeper Ding Daqiang what was going on with this salt?

It's just that Ding Daqiang is so busy today that his feet don't touch the ground, how can he have time to pay attention to him.

Mr. Zhang quit the shop, took out half a tael of silver, took out half a catty of salt from a woman's hand, and hurried back to the yamen.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!"

Before King Qian could speak, Mr. Yan was afraid of annoying King Qian, so before he could speak, he reprimanded: "What kind of system is it that shouts and screams!" ”

King Qian leaned on the soft couch and waved his hand, "Don't talk about him, I usually look at his serious appearance, but it's rare to see him lose his temper." Tell me, what is it that makes you so anxious? ”

Mr. Zhang took the handkerchief handed by Anu and wiped his sweat, then sat down and drank two cups of cold tea.

After taking a breath, he handed the half packet of salt in his pocket to Anu: "Lord Wang, you take a look at this first." ”

Anu took it and opened the oiled paper.

"What's that?" King Qian craned his neck and glanced at it: "White as snow, what is this?" ”

At this time, no one in the room thought about salt, they just thought it was a rare thing.

"Salt!" Mr. Zhang grinned and didn't sell it.

"What?!"

King Qian thought he had misheard.

Mr. Zhang repeated, "This is salt!" ”

"How is that possible?" King Qian was shocked, he was born in the royal family, he was born noble, and he ate refined salt from childhood to adulthood.

But I have never seen such a snow-white salt.

Mr. Yan stood up in shock, leaned in front of him, pinched a little, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

Seeing Mr. Yan, who was stunned, King Qian asked urgently, "What?" ”

"It's salty!" Mr. Yan took a large sip of tea from the teacup to dilute the salty taste in his mouth.

Anu tasted a little and nodded to King Qian.

Seeing that Anu had confirmed, King Qian pointed to the salt on the table and asked, "Where did this come from?" How can you sell salt so pure? ”

Mr. Zhang smiled indifferently: "You would never have imagined that this salt was bought from the princess's shop." Not only is the salt good and the price is good, but it is only sold for ten yuan a catty. ”

"Shhh

King Qian gasped, and after a long while, he slapped the table and scolded: "Loser! ”

Mr. Zhang: "."

King Qian pointed at Mr. Zhang and said angrily: "This is the way you can manage the business that you boast about?" This king sees that she is a loser, and she makes money at a loss! ”

Fifty wen first-hand salt is bought back and purified and then sold for ten wen a catty, isn't it a loss to make money?

Mr. Zhang: "."

Mr. Yan hesitated for a while and persuaded: "Lord, Weichen thinks that there must be a misunderstanding here, why don't you send the princess over to ask?" ”

How shrewd is the princess, will she lose money and make money?

Anyway, the prince believes it, he doesn't believe a word.

King Qian waved his hand, "Don't alarm her yet, this king wants to see how long her little silver can be compensated?" The hair is short, the face is swollen and fat, and I want to learn from others to make a fortune without any knowledge! ”

Mr. Zhang pursed his lips and tried not to let himself laugh, he wanted to say, the princess will not worry about eating and drinking if she marries you.

Just bar.

Come to Lingnan and say another!

The first batch of salt in Yantian was brought back and sold out on the first day.

When Yantian was first built, she couldn't keep up with the sales, so Xia Jing found an excuse to put the 10,000 catties of salt stored in the space in the last days to sell it in the store to make up for the shortage of goods in the store these days.

In ancient times, she had always relied on space as little as possible, but she was still a little hesitant when she looked at some machinery in space.

When she was searching for supplies, she collected a lot of supplies into the space, and the entire space was almost full.

These days the space unlocks a lot of space, including some mechanical and shelf-stable salt.

At this time, Hongmei walked in, "Princess, Captain Ding is here and is waiting for you in the flower hall." ”
