"Selling demon beast meat?" Jiang Xingchen frowned, Grandpa Fu said this, it must be that funds are tight.

"What, is there a place to use money?" Jiang Xingchen asked.

"The first phase of the construction of the base is simply not enough!" Grandpa Fu said with a solemn expression: "After the catastrophe, the prices of materials across the country have skyrocketed, coupled with the skyrocketing transportation costs, if the construction starts now, the actual cost will be twice as high as the budget...... The most important of them is hematite, which is directly controlled by the empire and must be transported from outside Qingshan Ridge, and now the freight alone is twice as high as before!"

Jiang Xingchen muttered, "Didn't we prepare a lot of supplies before the catastrophe?"

"Most of the materials we prepare are mainly in terms of living and diet, and there is very little hematite hoarding. It's not that I don't want to prepare, but during the catastrophe, if we buy a lot of hematite, the empire will ......," Grandpa Fu explained.

Jiang Xingchen nodded, Grandpa Fu did it right, at that time, the Duan family was building the embankment of Heluo Ling, and Xingchen Ling did not have a construction task, at this time, you bought a large amount of hematite, it would be strange if the emperor did not suspect that you were rebelling.

Grandpa Fu looked at Jiang Xingchen and continued: "Moreover, this catastrophe is not without the impact of our territory, and the hundreds of thousands of cattle raised have lost thirty percent...... Now thousands of wild wolves, a large number of ants, nearly a thousand orcs over there in the cold iron mine, as well as your private soldiers, research institutes, paper workshops, cement workshops, and blacksmith workshops of seven or eight hundred craftsmen, plus the people who work in the territory, the consumption is too great!"

After a slight pause, Grandpa Fu said again: "The income of the territory has now plummeted. The yield of honey and spirits is also not high, and the juice of the hook sickle. There is also the Great Blessing, together with the paper sold to the Empire, and these revenues are only enough to feed these people in our territory...... I don't know how long it will take, my lord...... Now it's either a temporary shutdown, or you'll have to sell demon beast meat!"

"I understand!" Jiang Xingchen snorted helplessly, he didn't want to sell demon beast meat in his heart. Now the whole empire is suffering. But he made a lot of money selling demon beast meat here, which was too hateful.

In addition, the number of his private soldiers increased. He also thought that if there was no problem with the loyalty of the private soldiers in the future, he would use these demon beast meat to improve their combat effectiveness. But now...... If you don't sell it, you can't do it!

"Lord Qiyu, people from the world's business houses ask to see!" Jiang Xingchen just made a decision. When you're ready to sell monster meat. The voice of the subordinate suddenly came from outside the door.

Jiang Xingchen raised his head, looked outside the door, motioned to Grandpa Fu to wait first, and ordered, "Please let him in!"

After a short time, the old acquaintance Wang Yuan pushed the door into the house and bowed down to greet him.

For Wang Yuan, Jiang Xingchen has a very good impression of tea, and the reason why tea can be planted and developed. This man has made a great contribution. Therefore, when he saw that it was Wang Yuan, Jiang Xingchen stood up with a smile. Stretch out your hand to help each other, and even say that you don't need to be polite.

"Sir, the governor asked me to come, all the fifty catties of tea shipped to Shahai have been sold, and I sent you 30,000 yuan of stone!" Without waiting for Jiang Xingchen to ask, Wang Yuan immediately explained his intention.

"How much?" Jiang Xingchen and Sun Sanqiang exclaimed at the same time, with an incredulous expression. 30,000 yuan stone, that is, 30 million citrine coins, which is equivalent to the sum of the income of the previous three Xingchen Teahouses.

Last year, the three Xingchen teahouses consumed 150 catties a year, which means that the world's trading houses sold three times the price of the Xingchen teahouses on the other side of the sand sea.

Sun Sanqiang has always been in charge of the Xingchen Teahouse, and he understands this account too well, so it is no wonder that he is surprised.

Jiang Xingchen didn't expect that he knew that scarcity was expensive, and it was he who gave Qin Manwu the idea to sell tea by auction...... But even so, he didn't expect to sell it at such a high price. You must know that 30,000 yuan of stone is for yourself, and the world's commercial houses still have to earn it, that is, these fifty catties of tea must be sold more.

Grandpa Fu's eyes lit up, he didn't care how many times the tea sold by the Tianxia Commercial Bank in the sand sea to the teahouse, 30,000 yuan of stone was real, it was 30 million citrine coins, which was enough to solve the urgent need.

Afterwards, Jiang Xingchen also laughed, with this money, he didn't have to sell the demon beast meat! Moreover, he also understood what Qin Manwu meant by asking Wang Yuan to come over, that is, to ask for more tea shares. Wang Yuan is his old acquaintance, and he once made meritorious contributions to the cultivation of tea, so it is most suitable for him to open this mouth.

Jiang Xingchen is also happy to push the boat, now that the empire has suffered a disaster, and the members of the Xingchen Teahouse have been lost, so much tea will not be needed. Just take this opportunity to push the tea to the sea of sand, which will make more money.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Xingchen thought of this, Wang Yuan said: "Sir, tea is selling so well in Shahai, do you see if you can increase your share a little more......

"Hehe!" Jiang Xingchen smiled and said, "Miss Qin already knows about the loss of members of the Xingchen Teahouse, right?"

"This ...... Yes!" Wang Yuanyan smiled and nodded.

"Okay, no problem, Xingchen Teahouse has lost seventy percent of its customers, and I'll let you take it back if there is an extra hundred catties of tea!" Jiang Xingchen patted Wang Yuan with a smile.

"Ahh As Jiang Xingchen expected, the previous fifty catties of tea were auctioned at a high price of 50,000 yuan, Xingchen received 30,000 yuan, and the world's commercial banks also had 20,000 yuan. Even he, who was in charge of this matter, Qin Manwu also gave a big reward of 1,000 yuan stones, which was millions of citrine coins.

Therefore, when he heard Jiang Xingchen say that he would give another hundred catties, Wang Yuan would be so excited.

"In two months, the summer tea will be picked, and some can be distributed to the world's commercial banks at that time!" Wang Yuan was excited, and Jiang Xingchen gave him a bombshell.

"What!" Wang Yuan was stunned, and then he felt that every cell in his body was cheering from the inside out. He wanted to control his feelings, but he couldn't control the corners of his mouth that he raised upwards.

Grandpa Fu let out a long sigh, and he didn't have to worry about money. Fifty catties of tea is 30 million, and another 100 catties is 60 million, plus Sun Sanqiang's 7 million, adding up to 100 million, no matter how much you consume, it is enough.

After a long time, Wang Yuan finally calmed down, bowed down and said, "Then thank you, sir, President Qin must be very happy to hear this news...... I'll quit here!"

"Hmm!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, he didn't ask how much the Tianxia Commercial House had auctioned in the Sand Sea, this was the most basic trust, he also believed that Qin Manwu would definitely give him the big head!

Wang Yuan walked out, Jiang Xingchen also walked forward, and when he arrived at the door, Wang Yuan seemed to suddenly sound something, and he paused, and asked: "Sir, I just remembered something, the patriarch of the Nanhuang Gongli clan asked me to bring you a message, saying that if you want to make spring tea, you must sue him!"

"Huh?" Jiang Xingchen didn't understand for a while.

Wang Yuan patted his forehead and said, "The patriarch of the Gongli clan is the one who spent five million to auction off the spring tea at the auction!"

"Oh!" Jiang Xingchen knew what was going on, he remembered that the person who bought the spring tea at that time was a strangely dressed man, and he could tell at a glance that it was not from the Empire, it turned out to be from the Southern Wilderness.

The origin of tea is the Southern Wilderness, but the technique of roasting tea is unique to Jiang Xingchen.

"Okay!" Jiang Xingchen agreed without thinking about it, the output of spring tea is so small, he only fried less than three catties two days ago. That is, some should be taken out at the auction, otherwise there is no possibility of selling to the outside world.

After Wang Yuan left, Sun Sanqiang also left, and the previous 150 catties of tea had been divided into three teahouses, and he had to quickly take it back and send it to the Tianxia Commercial Bank.

After Grandpa Fu also left satisfied, Jiang Xingchen sat in the room and fell into deep thought.

Now he is looking at all aspects of attack, and there are many industries in his hands, planting, breeding, production, etc., but none of them have formed a scale, if it is just commercial development, it will definitely be enough. But it is still far from enough to be used for territorial construction, as well as the two places to burn money, as well as research institutes.

When the second phase of the project is completed, the area of the new town can reach 300 square miles, and then more people will pour in, so that a certain industry can develop into a large-scale ......."

Jiang Xingchen sat in the room for a whole afternoon, rearranged the veins in his head, and then left the room, ready to go to the research institute.

But not far from the Lord's Mansion, a private soldier panted after him, saying that Moon Shadow had sent a letter.

Jiang Xingchen thought it was Mei'er's letter at first, telling him when he would return from school, but he didn't expect to open it and see that it was a letter from the Hua family.

Specifically, this is a letter asking for help, which says that the two families of the Moon Shadow Kingdom suddenly launched a kind of incense powder, which is of very high quality, no worse than the Hua family, but the price is only seventy percent of the Hua family. Now the Hua family's shops have been hit hard, and there has been a lot of backlog.

At the beginning, the head of the flower family also wanted to fight like last time, and cut the price through guò. But soon he found out that he couldn't fight for others at all, and they lowered the price of others without any hesitation.

Not to mention, this time the supply of Yangliu is very sufficient, and there is no shortage of goods in line for many days.

The head of the Hua family also inquired if Xuanyuan Tianzong had discovered a large number of hooks and sickles, and the Yangliu family had revived. But the result of the final investigation was that the incense powder sold on the market was not produced by the two Yangliu families at all, but was directly transported from the Dali Kingdom.

Now that the Hua family is operating at a loss every day, it is almost unbearable, and this time it is the brand new spice that Jiang Xingchen has been asked to study a long time ago!

After Jiang Xingchen read the letter, he exhaled softly and said in a low voice: "This time Xianning has another research project!" (to be continued......)
