Chapter 68 I really got rich
Zhu Di's eyes flickered with excitement, and he said, "How much money is there?"
"This is pure profit, which is left over after paying salaries to the boatman and others. Isn't it still not converted?"
As he spoke, Zhang Anshi looked at a cashier and said, "How much is it now?"
The accountant was very respectful, looked at the amount carefully, and said: "If you go back to the owner's house, it has already been converted into twenty-nine thousand taels of silver."
Zhu Di was taken aback: "Twenty-nine thousand taels?"
The accountant replied: "It's 29,000 taels, but it's not clear yet, and more than half of the gold and silver have not been converted into the treasury."
Zhu Di was breathing heavily, and he looked back at Zhang Anshi: "But what I heard is... your net profit here is about 30,000 taels."
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Your Majesty... no, when did Lord Hou ask someone?"
Zhu Di thought about it carefully: "Seventeen or eight days ago."
Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "The approximate number at that time was indeed the same, but didn't the Marquis know that the business would be prosperous? Seventeen or eight days ago, although the shipping industry had a large scale, thanks to the three ominous men in the capital, it will Liang Baihu did it half to death..."
Zhu Di's body trembled, the three murderers in the capital were lawless, and business was booming?
Zhang Anshi talked about the situation of the shipping industry excitedly: "There are too many chaos in shipping everywhere. The people on the wharf suffer, as do the boatmen who carry passengers, and merchants...they consign the goods, I also have no idea. Lord Hou, in this kind of place, because there are so many migrants, there are people from all walks of life, so it can be said that there is no kingly law."
"If my brothers and I want to make money, the first thing we need to do is to establish our prestige. Let people know that as long as you join our shipping industry, you will be guaranteed a steady stream of business and you will not be bullied. But For the ship passengers, it also provides them with convenience. Of course, the biggest source of profit is still in freight transportation. We have played our own gold-lettered signs. How many times have merchants escorted goods, but they were robbed and killed? Our shipping controls the circulation of goods and makes everyone profit.
"It's just that when our business is done, many people can't help being jealous. Those who used to be domineering at the docks, as well as the unruly boatmen, have also suffered. Therefore, if shipping wants to do a good job, the most important thing is It is to establish prestige. That's why we have the three evils in the capital. People on the river can't help but tremble when they hear our notoriety. Han Wangwei's hundreds of households came to bully us. If we don't fight back, the people on the river will die They all feel that we cannot protect their interests, so who would want to rely on us?"
"But after Liang Wu was dealt with, the people on and off the wharf realized that the three fierce men in the capital were so powerful that they could even offend the people of Hanwangwei. Therefore, in the past half a month or so, more and more boatmen have come to join us. There are more and more merchants who hire us to carry goods, and the business is booming, so this business is naturally booming."
What a smart person Zhu Di is, he immediately understood what Zhang Anshi meant, and his eyes lit up: "Interesting, interesting, so that's how it is. Liang Wu is good at fighting. Damn it, you told me earlier that I would take his house A whole street exploded."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Fortunately, this side is doing a nervous conversion.
Zhang Anshi invited Zhu Di to talk inside. Zhu Di sat down and sipped tea. He anxiously waited for news from the accountants.
Not forgetting to look at Zhang Anshi appreciatively, he said again: "In this way, Zhu Yong and his fellows have made great contributions."
Now that there is no one around, Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, they come and go in wind and rain for our shipping industry. They beat people every day, or they are beaten. I feel distressed when I see them."
Zhu Di nodded: "It's hard work, it's hard work, it really is worthy of being the queen of the general family, the tiger father has no dogs, their father is also so fearless in the face of danger."
Zhang Anshi took the opportunity to smile and said: "I wonder when His Majesty will let them go?"
"You have to let go." Zhu Di said ambiguously, "But don't be too hasty. I'm here to ask you, where did you learn all these skills?"
Zhang Anshi said: "This...I learned it from my brother-in-law."
Zhu Di sneered: "Prince is dull, if you are half as smart as you, I will rest assured, you kid, you are not telling the truth."
Zhang Anshi didn't know how to deal with it.
But at this moment, a cashier hurried in.
Both Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi looked at the accountant.
The cashier said out of breath: "It's roughly calculated, it's calculated."
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, obviously today is really miserable.
Zhu Di eagerly said: "How much?"
"Sixty-seven thousand three hundred and fifty-three taels and seventy-nine coins."
Hearing this number, Zhu Di's eyeballs almost fell out.
Twice as much as the expected 30,000 taels.
What is this concept?
The annual income may be as high as 800,000 taels?
How to make money with mere shipping?
I can directly take 400,000 taels of it for nothing in a year.
And according to Zhang Anshi's words, in the future this transaction...may have huge profits.
What a terrible number is this?
Zhu Di said: "More than 60,000, there are more than 60,000?"
The accountant was not surprised at all.
He thinks that anyone who can do such a large business and obtain such a huge profit will have such an expression.
So he calmly said: "Yes, but... this is just a rough calculation, and it will be recorded twice later, but the final amount will probably not have too much deviation."
Zhu Di's face flickered, and there was an irrepressible impulse in his heart.
At least 400,000 taels of silver a year in dividends, how many soldiers can be raised, and how many horses can be fed.
Besides...Zhu Di still has the idea of building a parallel north, and...he wants to go to the west to see it.
These countless ideas and plans are actually more ambitious than Emperor Kao Taizu Gao!
Because Zhu Di knew very well that he was the son of Jing Nan who succeeded, and was regarded as a traitor and traitor. If he could not achieve the same achievements as Tang Taizong, he would be laughed at for generations to come.
And all these piles, every single thing, cost money.
Not to mention, whether there is a disaster here this year or a man-made disaster there next year, which one does not require money and food?
But such an inconspicuous transaction, unexpectedly... so profitable to such an extent.
Zhu Di muttered, unable to speak for a long time.
Zhang Anshi said to the accountant: "Go down, and then clear the accounts."
The accountant resigned.
Zhu Di was still sitting where he was, not saying a word.
He closed his eyes slightly, then suddenly opened his tiger eyes again, and in that instant, Zhu Di became lively, his eyes sparkling, and said: "This business...is very good, from now on, you will be in charge of the ship business. "
Zhang Anshi nodded.
Zhu Di said again: "However... you must not spread any news related to this ship industry in the palace."
"I know."
"What do you know?"
"Your Majesty also wants face."
Zhu Di shook his head and said with a smile: "Young people, don't be too arrogant. You just need to know some things in your heart, and it's wrong to say them."
Zhang Anshi said: "Understood, the reason why His Majesty doesn't want to get involved is because His Majesty has a kind heart, and he can't bear to see his subjects know that His Majesty has a lot of money, so as not to make them feel jealous."
Zhu Di said angrily: "Fuck your mother, I'm rich all over the world, why are you afraid of this? It's just this matter, after all, it's unsightly, and you, you can just manipulate the business behind the scenes. Brother-in-law of the prince, don't let people gossip about the Eastern Palace."
Zhang Anshi tentatively said: "Then what His Majesty means..."
Zhu Di said lightly: "I am still Zheng Heng, Marquis of Wu'an, and you...you can do whatever you want."
Zhang Anshi nodded and said: "Understood. This business was done by Marquis Wu An. Marquis Wu An manipulated this business behind the scenes and made a lot of money. Marquis Wu An saw that he was blind to money, so he lost money."
Zhu Di didn't know whether to exaggerate An Shihao or scold him a few words.
Afterwards, Zhu Di said again: "I will let Yishiha know how to deal with the money I earned. If there is anything in the future, you can also speak through Yishiha. If there is something urgent...is there any trustworthy **** in the East Palace who can directly Are you listening to God?"
The Forbidden City is not a public toilet after all.
It is very troublesome to go in and out, but eunuchs have natural convenience. Zhu Di has urgent matters, so he will naturally pass through.
Then Zhang Anshi has something to do, there must be an absolutely trustworthy person who can enter the palace to report at any time.
Zhang Anshi thought for a while, and said: "There is really one, the **** Deng Jian of the Eastern Palace, he is very loyal."
"How do you see it?"
"He was so scared that he covered his ears when he was thundering. He was afraid of death. People who are afraid of death are honest."
Zhu Di nodded: "Okay, I will remember this person."
As he said that, Zhu Di stood up, but he was still inexplicably excited, and couldn't help but pat Zhang Anshi on the shoulder: "Damn, I've talked to you so much, it's getting late, I can't stay out for a long time, I'm going back to the palace .”
Zhang Anshi said: "I respectfully send..."
"Send your mother a fart." Zhu Di said in a rough voice: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but like those rotten scholars, they put those nonsense on their lips. The people who said these words are all extremely respectful, but in their hearts... But I don’t know what it is, people should have a true temperament, don’t learn from your brother-in-law.”
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Your uncle, what happened to my brother-in-law?
Ignoring Zhang Anshi who was frowning, Zhu Di walked out with tiger steps, but when he was about to go out, he looked back reluctantly at the gold and silver that hadn't been sorted out, and then left the small building.
Outside the building was already lit up with thousands of lights, Zhu Di got on his horse and hurried back to the palace.
Back to the palace, Zhu Di was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
He didn't go to Da Nei, but paced back and forth in Wenlou, muttering: "A year is 400,000 taels, ten years..."
The calculation was almost done, and he suddenly remembered something: "Come here."
