When Liu Yan and others returned to Dapandun with three hundred and fifty-five taels of silver, the entire Dapandun was boiling, and the twelve Dun soldiers gathered around the ox cart, dancing and cheering, Chen Jiang and other family members of the Dun army were all crying with joy, and the hard days finally came to an end.

Wang Yue stood aside with a complicated expression, he never imagined that Liu Yan would have such a great ability, and he earned three hundred and fifty-five taels of silver in just one trip, not to mention a character like Old Lady Xu, even if you look at the entire Lingshanwei, it is rare!

So Wang Yue's heart became more and more worried, wanting to integrate into the crowd as soon as possible, but he didn't know how to integrate, looking at the box of white flowers and silver on the ox cart, Wang Yue's heart seemed to be scratched by a kitten, itchy and painful, very uncomfortable.

In the cheers, Liu Yan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then announced the distribution plan of three hundred and fifty-five taels of silver in public.

First of all, Liu Yan gave Chen Jiang's family and the five Dunjun family members their wages, and the five Dunjun family members each gave two taels of silver, and Chen Jiang's family issued five taels of silver. At the same time, Liu Yan said that this is just the bottom line, as long as Chen Jiang's people do a good job, and the soap produced every month is more and better, the salary will only be more, and it will never be less.

Several people were overjoyed when they heard this, in previous years, they couldn't earn five dollars of silver for a whole year, and the family couldn't see meat all year round. Now that he has been busy in the soap workshop for a month, he can earn so much silver, and there is no upper limit, and he suddenly feels full of strength, and he is even more desperate for Liu Yan.

Then, Chen Xun and his four dun soldiers also had a share, and each of the four dun soldiers was given two taels of silver, and Chen Xun took five taels of silver. It's just that Chen Xun's salary is fixed and will not increase, after all, several people are only responsible for delivering goods every month.

But even so, Chen Xun and the others cheered happily, if someone dared to be disrespectful to Liu Yan at this time, Chen Xun and the others would definitely pounce on him and beat him violently.

Wangjiazhuang Wanfu Oil Mill wanted to reserve a part of the silver to buy the soybean oil needed for the next month, Liu Yan left ten taels of silver, and the silver for buying rosin also left ten taels, so Liu Yan spent forty-eight taels of silver.

At this time, Wang Yue's team, as well as the four dun soldiers directly under Liu Yan, all looked at it with a blank eye, and Liu Yan did not forget everyone when he saw this, so he said: "Although the rest of the people did not contribute to the soap workshop, it was also hard to garrison the dun, and each person and his family members were given five coins of silver. ”

In addition, Liu Yan also returned the silver advanced by Chen Xun and others, and now it was seven or eight taels of silver, but Liu Yan was not distressed, now that he has more money, he will naturally not miss this opportunity to buy people's hearts.

At this point, the popularity of the people in the dun was high, and Liu Yan's prestige rose again.

Later, Liu Yan gave Chen Xun another twenty taels of silver, and asked Chen Xun to take someone to Wangjiazhuang tomorrow to buy some pork and rice noodles and come back, and distribute them to all households, which is considered a welfare.

At night, the families in the dun were as happy as the New Year, and Liu Yan stayed in the house alone, and there were two hundred and eighty taels of silver left in the three hundred and fifty-five taels, which were all his start-up capital.

Liu Yan lay on the bed and thought: "The next best development direction should be Tuntian, large-scale Tuntian, not only can accumulate food, but also absorb manpower, as long as there are people, there will be everything!" ”

As for other ways to make money, such as burning glass, making salt, etc., Liu Yan is not ready to invest for the time being. Although these two hundred and eighty taels of silver seem like a lot, I am afraid that it is not enough to open these technical workshops, and I can't even see a splash when I smash it in.

And Liu Yan also knew in his heart that even if he opened a workshop like glass and salt making, with his current strength, he would not be able to hold it. got a soap workshop to make money, and Liu Yan also found Wang Weizhen, a management officer, as a backer, not to mention the cornucopia-like salt drying field.

"However, if you open up the wasteland, the cost is also huge, not to mention that the construction of water conservancy facilities alone requires a lot of silver, and you also have to buy cattle, farm tools, seeds, and so on. And the people who had been recruited were to settle down, and they needed money to build houses and provide food. ”

After thinking for a while, Liu Yan sighed: "Although two hundred and eighty taels of silver is a lot, I can't help but spend it!" ”

But fortunately, this is only a month's income, as long as the sales channel in Wang Wei Town can be smooth, the monthly income will be considerable in the future.

"That's it, the next step is to Tuntian, but we have to find an opportunity."

At this time, the construction of Tunpu is not something that can be done at will, Liu Yan is the first captain of Huolu Dun, if you want to concurrently serve as the official of Tunpu, you must be approved by the hundred households to which you belong, and report to the thousand households to which you belong.

A few days later, one afternoon, Jia Hongyu rushed to Dapandun with two family members, Liu Yan went out to greet him with a smile, and said, "Haha, what kind of wind sent my big brother Jia here?" Come on, our brothers are going to have a good drink today. ”

Jia Hongyu turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I won't drink here today, brother, hurry up and prepare, the master of the management team asked me to deliver the letter, and we have to rush to the Wangjiazhuang Baihu official hall immediately." There are good things! ”

Liu Yan asked, "I don't know what's good?" ”

Jia Hongyu stepped forward and said, "The master of the management team has sold all the soap and made a lot of money, so this time I invite my brother to come over and celebrate." ”

"What!"

Liu Yan was taken aback, in just a few days, all the 1,200 pieces of soap were sold, and the sales of Wang Wei Town were really good, they are all rich people's circles!

"Okay, I'll change my clothes, let's go."

Liu Yan didn't care about anything else, changed into his general flag official uniform, and ordered Chen Xun to take care of the soap workshop, and then called Wang Yue to set off together, Wang Yue was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly came up to accompany him.

On the way, Liu Yan and Wang Yue sat on the ox cart together, and Jia Hongyu and the three of them rode horses and walked a few steps in front.

On the ox cart, Liu Yan beat Wang Yue in a few words, Wang Yue was full of villain, not only was he not unhappy, but he was like a masochist, the more severe Liu Yan's tone was, the happier Wang Yue became, he was most afraid that Liu Yan would ignore him, and the current situation showed that Liu Yan was not ready to exclude and give up on himself.

So Wang Yue slapped Liu Yan along the way, and expressed his loyalty, Liu Yan gladly accepted this, although he would not reuse the villain, but someone rushed over to pat the horse, and he would suffer it.

At this time, Liu Yan saw that Wang Yue was interested, so he made up his mind to make money and develop, and thought that he could hand over some small things to Wang Yue in the future to see if Wang Yue was really available.

Soon everyone arrived at the Wangjiazhuang Baihu official hall, it was already dusk at this time, Jia Hongyu led Liu Yan and Wang Yue all the way to the main hall, Wang Weizhen was already waiting here, and warmly greeted Liu Yan to take a seat.

Then Wang Weizhen saw Wang Yue behind Liu Yan, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then he understood, and said to Wang Yue in a somewhat stiff tone: "Wang Xiaoqi, right?" ”

"If you return to the management team, the villain Wang Yue is now the little flag officer in Da Pandun."

"Well, Liu Zongqi is the right-hand man under the official, you have to assist well, if you are a little negligent, the official will only ask!"

Wang Yue suddenly sweated profusely, it turned out that Wang Weizhen, the officer in charge of the team, was Liu Yan's backer, no wonder even Mrs. Xu had to be deflated, but fortunately he surrendered in time, so he nodded again and again, and this was the end.

Wang Weizhen is still sitting at the top of the big Malaysian golden knife, and Jia Hongyu is still standing next to him. Liu Yan sat down, while Wang Yue did not sit down, and stood beside Liu Yan respectfully, Liu Yan also ignored this, and stood if he was willing to stand.

"Hehe, Liu Zongqi should also know, the 1,200 pieces of soap have all been sold out, this is really a best-selling good thing!"

Then Wang Weizhen said in detail, this time it was sold to the outside world, and the soap produced by Dapandun was sold all the way in Qianhu, and even Lingshanwei in front of Xiahezhai, and those generals and officials of Qianhuo and Lingshanwei flocked to it, which made Wang Weizhen make a lot of money.

"Haha, in just a few days, 300 pieces of soap were sold in front of 1,000 households in Xiahe Village, and 900 pieces of soap were sold in Lingshan Acropolis at once, and the supply exceeded demand! Many Shangguan and colleagues who didn't buy it urged me to get another batch of soap to sell! ”

Liu Yan didn't expect the sales of soap to be so good, and he secretly regretted that the price of three coins of silver he had set was still low.

Wang Weizhen was in a very good mood at this time, and said to Liu Yan: In addition to the three hundred and sixty taels of silver given to Liu Yan this time, he also made a net profit of six or seven hundred taels!

Liu Yan was even more surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect these guards to be so rich, it turned out that not all the guards in the Ming Dynasty were poor at this time, only the grassroots officers and soldiers were really poor, and those hundreds of households, thousands of households, and even commanders were so rich!

So Liu Yan intended to increase the price of soap, but looking at Wang Weizhen, who was on the rise, Liu Yan still suppressed this thought: "Wait first, so as not to affect the future development for the sake of immediate interests." ”

Then Wang Weizhen asked Liu Yan to make the soap workshop bigger, and said: "Liu Zongqi must make persistent efforts, this soap must be bigger and stronger, and the output of soap must be raised, so that we can earn more silver!" ”

Liu Yan smiled, why didn't he want to do this, but the actual situation was like this, and it was still unrealistic to greatly increase production in a short period of time.

"The captain of the management team knows that his subordinates will do their best. It's just that the output of soap will definitely not increase too much in a short period of time, after all, the supply of raw materials is limited. ”

"Huh? I can help you with the ashes, but you can only solve the rest of the materials yourself. ”

Wang Weizhen thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, I will go back and give an order to the rest of the fire road piers, and let those armor chiefs take people to collect grass and wood ashes, and then send them to Dapandun before the third day of the first month of each month, how about it?" ”

Liu Yan thought about it for a moment and nodded, so that the supply of plant ash would not have to worry, as long as he increased the purchase of soybean oil, let Chen Jiang's find some more people to help, or let some reliable Dunjun also help, the output of soap can still be increased a lot.

So Liu Yan agreed, and inevitably hugged his fists and thanked him, saying a lot of good things.

Wang Weizhen said with a smile: "Okay, I'm so happy today, we must drink well tonight." Let's take a seat. ”
