Chapter 140: A Big Pig Farmer
This time the glass exhibition was even more successful than expected, when a group of merchants learned that Estuary City could not only mass-produce treasures that everyone could not reach on weekdays, and pressed its price to a level that ordinary people could easily afford, the originally warm atmosphere of the venue fell directly into madness!
In addition, with Lingyu, a peerless beauty, as the recommendation officer, one hundred and thirty-two business travelers from all over the world in the venue, without exception, all signed orders!
In just two hours, the sales of scheduled glazed products reached a terrifying 1.2 million taels of silver!
As Wen Chen expected, among the major glass product categories, the most popular are glass windows and all kinds of cups and bowls, accounting for more than ninety percent of total sales, and this kind of products, in the production process does not use complex process skills, the output efficiency is much higher than flashy handicrafts, it can be said that it is in the middle of the warm Chen!
With today's production efficiency, even if all the blacksmiths in the city are activated, it will take at least three or four months to complete all the orders.
Fortunately, the process of making glass is not very difficult for ordinary people, and only needs the detailed guidance of the pioneers, and within half a month, a group of skilled workers can be trained.
Qingcheng has a permanent population of less than 10,000, and without using 20,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, but relying on half of the men, the output value of 1.2 million taels of silver has been created in a few months, which is already something that Pei Zhi would not dare to think of.
You must know that since Zhennan Wang Wen Yuli left Hekou City, the local yamen not to mention paying taxes, and the annual finance needs to be subsidized a lot by the city side, for this reason, Pei Zhi has been ridiculed and looked at by his colleagues in the past.
But this time, Wen Chen led the people of their estuary to fight a beautiful turnaround!
When night fell, the glass exhibition also came to an end, and everyone dragged their tired bodies to escort their God of Wealth all the way home, but the upturned corners of their mouths were more difficult to suppress than AK!
"Humph! Lao Tzu wants to see that when Lao Tzu sends people to Lincheng to pay taxes and silver next autumn, who else dares not to offer Lao Tzu's people as ancestors! ”
Pei Zhi shook his head, thinking about the scene of raising his eyebrows in the future.
Wen Chen smiled and shook his head, he was also a hero by the side of King Zhennan, after he made a comeback, everyone else was taken to Lincheng to enjoy the blessings, and only this Lord Pei was guarded in this place where birds don't, Pei Zhi wanted to vent in his heart, but it was understandable.
But although Estuary City has made some money now, it is far from showing off.
"Master Pei, you still have to cry if you are poor, if you can eat the imperial grain for one more year, you will earn one more year, within five years, the king of taxes and silver is not going to pay, but the subsidy must be received!"
No matter how small the fly is, it is still meat, and making the people of the estuary rich is only the first step in Wen Chen's plan.
"Huh?"
Pei Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it a natural thing for the people to earn silver and pay taxes?" ”
He still wanted to pretend to be forced out in his heart, and let out a fierce breath.
Wen Chen snorted, "Where is this?" Lord Pei, look at the dilapidated houses in your city, count how many tiled houses there are? ”
"Look at the armor on your sergeant, how many years has it not been changed?"
"Since my father has formulated a tax exemption policy for Estuary City, we must make reasonable use of the rules and improve our strength first, even if there is more money left in the future, it is not impossible to make up for the missing taxes in previous years!"
Extraordinary things should be used in extraordinary ways!
When the king of Zhennan squeezed out the surplus value of Hekou City in order to make a comeback, he didn't care about the life and death of the people in the city.
Pei Zhi nodded secretly, it seems that this is really the case, revealing his wealth too early will not only hinder the continued development of Hekou City, which has just recovered, but also the civil officials under the prince, I am afraid that for their own good life, they will come up with some kind of harsh tax project.
Moreover, after today's outing, when Nanqi got the news, he couldn't help but be covetous, so he had to guard against it.
It is better to wait for the local situation to completely calm down, and it is not too late to let out this evil breath!
"I am willing to obey His Highness!"
Hexiang followed behind unhurriedly, and although the sound of the two talking was not loud, the general meaning had already been taken into her ears.
At this time, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he missed paying taxes, and the sea king's basket this time was bigger!
Just as she was thinking about the wording of the secret letter, Wen Chen suddenly turned around.
"Hexiang, today you have all been transferred to the venue by this king to help, after we go back, won't we be able to eat dinner?"
He Xiang smiled, and avoided Wen Chen's gaze with a little weakness, "Back to Your Highness, the slave maid has already explained before leaving, today's dinner is in charge of Lao Huang, who delivers vegetables on weekdays, and I can't delay His Highness's meal!" ”
Wen Chen let out a meaningful oh, and then smiled, "That's good." ”
Then he gave Tu Sanqian a look to the side, and the man immediately understood, hugged his fists lightly, and whispered to a few brothers to turn around and leave.
"If this king remembers correctly, the dozen or so pigs in the fence in the backyard were sent by you to Lao Huang, right?"
Hexiang hurriedly responded, "Back to Your Highness, it's true, the slave knows that His Highness was born in the north, and I'm afraid that you are not used to eating fish and shrimp every meal when you come to Hekou City. ”
Wen Chen grinned, "It's also intimate, this king must reward you well when he goes back!" ”
Wen House, in a dimly lit bedroom.
The young man knelt on the ground and respectfully saluted three incense sticks to the spiritual seat on the table.
"Father! Today is the day of the child's revenge for you! ”
"Although the child can't get close to Wen Yuli's dog thief yet, God has eyes, send his illegitimate son to the child, kill him, and let out a bad breath for his father first!"
After speaking, bow down to the spiritual position!
At the beginning, the Pingkang Palace's Mansion was flattened by the Silver Armor Army, and Ning Peizhi was beheaded on the street, and the fifth prince Ning Ya, who had always been deep in the house, hid in the dry well in the mansion for three days and three nights before he was able to escape.
Later, in order to leave Yizhou, which was strictly investigated, Ning Ya did not hesitate to surrender his identity, disguised himself as a beggar, and successfully won the sympathy of Yun Zhongzi, accepted him as an apprentice, and bumped all the way, so that he escaped from Shu without danger.
He thought that there was no hope of revenge for this life, but he accidentally found the fire mark left by the Ning army near Hekou City, so as to get in touch with the old department of his father's subordinates, it happened that Wen Chen happened to arrive in the local area to be sealed a few days ago, and after everyone discussed, they decided to postpone the plan to go to Lincheng to assassinate the king of Zhennan, and instead aimed at the new His Royal Highness the Sea King!
The rickety old man standing behind him had a serious face, "Don't worry, the Fifth Highness has endured humiliation for many months, and only waited until today's God-given opportunity, Huang Xiao must personally cut off Wen Chen's dog head to comfort the prince's spirit in the sky!" ”
Ning Ya got up slowly, his slightly green face was full of murderous intent!
"Lao Huang, are you all ready?"
"Your Highness Five, rest assured, those dozen pigs have already been fed by the flesh and blood of people starving to death in the wilderness for more than a month, and when they are stunned by the food, in half an hour, the lowly position will be able to unload the dozen or so people and feed the pigs, ensuring that the people of the government will not find any clues, and we can also retreat safely according to the planned route!"
