Early the next morning, Yue Buqun and the three of them were in good spirits, stepped on the horses prepared by the disciples of the Information Hall, and continued to rush south.

At noon, they rested in Xinxiang for half an hour, changed horses, and in the evening, the three of them crossed the Yellow River through Mengjin and stayed in an inn next to the White Horse Temple in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang.

Subsequently, Yue Buqun took Ning Zhong to visit the White Horse Temple, and spent a few days visiting Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties.

The marriage of the two can be said to be the trend of the times, the situation dictates, there is no element of love at all, Yue Buqun has always felt that he owes something to Ning Zhong, so he simply took this opportunity to compensate his young wife.

Huang Butao has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, so he naturally won't be an eyesore in front of the two, so he rushed back to Huashan early, leaving only a few Huashan disciples who answered, and accompanied and served the head couple all the way.

At the end of the month, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, who had a lot of fun, finally returned to Huashan.

Yue Buqun plunged headlong into the affairs, sorting out the various benefits received by the Wuyue Sword Sect's assault demon sect this time.

In this sweep, a total of 56 vassal gangs of the Demon Sect were destroyed, and 172 business shops of various types were received, including restaurants, inns, pawnshops, groceries, rice grain, cloth, etc., involving almost all walks of life, all over the prefectures and counties of Shaanxi.

According to the agreement, these will be taken over and managed by the various gangs that follow the Huashan faction, and the Huashan faction will own 30% of the shares in these businesses, but Huashan will not participate in the day-to-day management, but will only be responsible for the supervision of financial personnel.

From the past account book records, these businesses have an annual income of more than 80,000 taels, which is higher than the overall income of Huashan now, and 30% of the shares will bring 25,000 taels of silver to Huashan every year.

The shops left behind by the Demon Sect, a total of sixteen, except for the four restaurant inns, the others are profiteering businesses such as Qinglou casinos, the restaurant inns will be directly taken over by the Huashan faction, and the rest of the not very glorious business will be managed by a few small gangs nearby, Huashan only charges seventy percent of the profits, a few small gangs only need to be famous, responsible for daily maintenance, and get three percent of the interests in vain, and they are grateful to Huashan.

These businesses are expected to pay Huashan about 17,000 taels of dividends a year.

Together, the two will bring 42,000 taels of silver to Huashan every year, more than sixty percent of the current annual income of the Huashan faction.

In addition, from the various gangs and demon sect stations, all kinds of gold, silver, property and copper coins were copied out, and the total discount was more than 120,000 taels, and according to the agreement, half of them, 60,000 taels, belonged to Huashan.

This huge amount of money is almost equivalent to the current operating income of Huashan for a year, and it seems that the sea trade and textile farms can be increased in scale, and there is no need to spend money tightly.

The last one is the real big one.

From the various gangs and demon cults, the land deeds of 35,000 acres of high-quality fertile land were copied, and Huashan only kept 5,000 mu around Xianyang, and the other more than 12,000 mu was due, and it was disposed of to the gangs in various places at a low price of 10 taels per mu.

For this alone, 120,000 taels of silver were earned, and 5,000 acres of fertile land were also lost.

Sure enough, kill people and set fire to the gold belt! Yue Buqun looked at the report presented by Li Bushan and smiled proudly.

The second report is the statistics of the personnel of the various gangs attached to the Huashan faction, a total of fifty-six gangs, ranging from dozens to three hundred, and seven first-class masters, but they did not make any moves in this strangulation demon sect activity, and only sent their disciples or subordinates to take action.

There are 174 second-rate masters, and there are no third-rate masters, totaling more than 8,700 people.

Now, the Huashan faction has tied these people in the rivers and lakes with themselves through interests, as long as they continue to manage carefully, this huge force can be used by Huashan after all, for the time being, they are still in cooperative relations with Huashan, and there is still a long way to go to truly become an offensive and defensive alliance.

The third is the report on the development of the Zhoushan base, and after several months of sorting, the Zhoushan shipyard has basically built the framework.

Dong Yihui has dug up dozens of shipwrights in Nanzhili, and several of them have experience in building thousands of seagoing ships, and have kept the shipyard in good order, and now they have begun to build small boats to accumulate experience and train shipwrights.

In order to ensure the continuous supply in the future, Dong Yihui suggested sending people to the north to purchase directly, and open the north-south route to communicate the overseas routes of the north and south, and try to carry out trade with Goryeo and the Japanese state.

Finally, Dong Yihui praised the new disciples of the outer sect for this experience, saying that these juniors are smart and hardworking, diligent and practical, and they are handy in various management work, and apply for a few more to be transferred to assist in the management of maritime trade affairs.

Yue Buqun had already had an idea about opening the North-South Sea Road, and the main goal was to hope that after gaining a firm foothold in the sea route, he would go up the Yellow River, kill the Yellow River Gang, dominate the Yellow River waterway, and bring the products on both sides of the strait directly to overseas or Jiangnan through this waterway.

Compared with the loss of land routes, it will save a large part of the transportation costs, and the time will not be much slower, which is extremely important for Huashan to control Shaanxi and intervene in Shanxi.

Moreover, Yue Buqun knew that the Demon Sect would weaken rapidly in ten years, and the Hebei region would become a vacuum of power in the rivers and lakes.

The Yellow River Gang is now attached to the Demon Sect, and if they act rashly, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Demon Sect.

But in the past few years, the Demon Sect must have fought frequently with the Wuyue Sword Sect, and perhaps it will not care too much about the destruction of the subordinate gangs, and when the dispute is over, it will be time for me to retire by the West Lake, and it will be a few years for Dongfang Sheng to rectify the interior, and then it is time to embroider, so it seems that the time to do something to the Yellow River Gang is two or three years later, and it is necessary for the Northern Passage to be opened.

If Huashan controls the Yellow River, you can also follow this line of thought, and gradually expand your power to the Yangtze River waterway, if you can control the Yangtze River waterway, in the entire Ming economic field, Huashan has a great advantage, that is, the sea trade products will also be greatly expanded, and the cost will be doubled.

Yue Buqun put this report separately and picked up the next one, which was the investigation and evaluation of the opening of a textile factory in Nanzhili by the Information Hall.

Now, the textile industry in the south of the Yangtze River can be described as the most developed in the world, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Jiaxing area, there are hundreds of weaving factories, Songjiang Mansion is slightly inferior, but there are many weaving factories.

The Huashan faction opened a weaving factory in Songjiang Prefecture, as long as the identity on the bright side is solved, there will be no problem, the textile in the Jiangnan area is developed, many weaving factories have begun to use female workers, and there will be no big problem in recruiting personnel.

However, in order to ensure that the secrets of the Huashan weaving factory are not leaked, the Information Hall suggested that female workers from other provinces be recruited to work in Jiangnan.

However, this can only be kept secret temporarily, the secret of Huashan Weaving Factory, sooner or later will be revealed to the world, after all, the output is so huge, bulk materials in and out, there will be people concerned among peers.

The cost is there, and once or twice it is shipped at a low price, it may not arouse suspicion yet.

But if this is the case in the long run, those peers are not stupid, and one day they will know that the technology of this weaving mill is extraordinary, and it can save costs on a large scale.
