Invincible son

Chapter 878 877 [Monster winds everywhere]

Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts, and having money can make ghosts turn the millstone.

The common people talked about Pei Yue's achievements, and the important officials in the court were worried about his power, but more people were extremely envious of the wealth that this young dignitary had accumulated over the years.

After several years of expansion and precipitation, Xiangyun, based on honeycomb coal, also deals in food and cloth, and gradually occupies nearly one-third of the market share of Kyoto, a city with a population of one million.Nowadays, the technology and supporting industries of honeycomb coal are no longer a secret, but Xiangyun's business in Kyoto has not been affected in any way, because the Shouyangshan mine is firmly in the hands of Pei Yue.

The development of Qinyuan can be said to be smooth, from mid-June to early December, a total of five months, and it has become the most profitable business in Kyoto.Under Pei Yue's single-handed planning, this garden has become a gentle town that is making money every day. The outer garden is full of guests every day, and the inner garden has more and more guests.

I don't know how many people are secretly jealous, Xiangyun and Qinyuan will send large sums of gold and silver to Zhongshanhou's mansion every month.

It's not that they haven't thought about it, but even if Pei Yue is not in the capital, no one dares to tease Tiger's whiskers.

The composition of Xiangyun's shareholders is relatively simple. Pei Yue monopolizes [-]%, Gu Fan, Sun Qi, Yu Tong and Lu Cheng each hold [-]%, Wei Ziyun and others share [-]%, and the remaining seven people only enjoy the right to dividends. The development of the firm has absolute discretion.

The reason why others have nowhere to start, regardless of the relationship between those honorable children and Gu Fan, is that the foundation of Xiangyun's main store is the Shouyang Mountain Mine.Unless the imperial court takes back the mine, other companies will not be able to shake the status of Xiangyun in Kyoto.

The situation in Qinyuan is more complicated. Pei Yue owns half of the shares, and the other half is subdivided into [-] shares.

Fifty shares are held in the palace, held by Chen An, the nephew of Empress Chen.

Guangping Marquis Mansion and Dingguo Mansion each have [-] shares, the former is Pei Yue's dowry gift for Gu Zhen, and the latter is a personal gift for Pei Ning.

There are also ten shares for Mo Moyun, and Qin Xian and Xue Meng have ten shares in total.

The 5% of the shares were basically given away for nothing, and only the [-] taels of silver that Emperor Kaiping reluctantly gave back were taken back.

The remaining 370 shares were sold by Pei Yue to more than a dozen honorable mansions, such as the Sun family of Shanguo Mansion, the Tan family of Xiuguo Mansion, the Yang family of Ningguo Mansion, Wudinghou Mansion, Dingjunhou Mansion, Jininghou Mansion, Runanhou Mansion, etc. .These people are either the descendants of the founding princes, or they are the powerful and powerful in the military today.

One only needs to take a look at this extremely large and complicated list of shareholders, and you will know that Qinyuan is a behemoth that cannot be provoked.

The other manors and pavilions whose living space was squeezed by Qinyuan, naturally have strong backers behind them, but even the second prince, the master behind the bamboo building, did not dare to make trouble.Even if he didn't care about those Wu Xun relatives who held real power, as long as he thought of Pei Yue sending half of the bonus to the palace every month, he couldn't have the courage to plot secretly.

If estimated according to the normal situation, Pei Yue will sooner or later rely on the Xiangyun and Qinyuan to be rich as an enemy.

However, Kyoto is not only the best place, but also a treacherous place with extremely unpredictable weather. No one knows whether the next cloud will bring squalls or showers.

In mid-October, the results of the southern border war were reported back to Kyoto, Pei Yue's fame reached its peak, and the property under his name ushered in the craziest half month.

In the second half of October alone, the gross income of Qinyuan and Xiangyun in Jingdu reached more than [-] taels.

However, following the issuance of a decree by Emperor Kaiping at the end of the month, Pei Yue must escort Princess Qinghe of the Southern Zhou Dynasty back to Beijing as soon as possible.

Someone once joked that throwing a brick at random on the streets of Kyoto can hit an official.Not only those dignitaries who have news channels, but also the rogues in the city can speak clearly about the situation in the court.After that decree was issued, rumors about "Pei Yue's arrogance and arrogance without the king" spread like wildfire, and became more and more intense as time went by, as if the high-ranking Marquis of Zhongshan would go to jail after returning to Beijing jail.

No matter where these rumors come from, there must be someone secretly fueling the flames in the follow-up, and there are even outrageous rumors that Pei Yue cultivated his confidantes in the army to train private soldiers.Although these slanderous tricks are common in history books, there are always countless fools who believe them.

The most intuitive impact of the vicissitudes in central Beijing was that Pei Yue's property was affected.

The Xiangyun store is relatively stable. After all, the goods sold by the store are high-quality and cheap, and are loved by the common people. However, Qinyuan, which usually gathers rich and powerful businessmen, has been hit hard in the past half month.

There is no such thing as a crowd, but the income is nearly half less than that of the first half of October.

When Lin Shuyue came to the Qinyuan Chamber, the atmosphere here was a little dull and serious.

Apart from Qi Min, Qi Jun, Yang Hu and Chen Danian who had stayed in the capital, Deng Zai who returned to Beijing a few days ago was also among them.

Everyone quickly stood up and saluted: "I have seen Mrs. Lin."

Lin Shuyue walked to the main seat and sat down under the protection of the two big maids, and said calmly: "You don't need to be polite."

After everyone was seated, Lin Shuyue looked around and said gently: "Before Hou Ye left Beijing, he handed over the supervision and verification of the accounts of various places to my concubine, and the specific operation and management are up to you. You are all Hou Ye. People who are extremely trusted by the Lord, it is logical that it is not the concubine's turn to talk, but people's hearts are not stable recently, and I hope you can protect the foundation for Lord Hou."

It was Pei Yue who rescued her from the fire pit, and he has always respected her and gave her a serious wedding. Lin Shuyue has both admiration and gratitude for Pei Yue, so she will naturally do her best to help her. He runs the family business.Not only that, she has never crossed the line in the past year, she only took care of the accounts of the Hou Mansion and outside, and never used her own status to point fingers at Qi Min and others' duties.

In fact, she is the most qualified person to represent Pei Yue.

Before Ye Qi and Gu Zhen got married, Lin Shuyue was Pei Yue's only concubine, and she was not an ordinary concubine with a low status, but a serious concubine named Qipin Ruren by Emperor Kaiping.

This is also the reason why Pei Yue's confidantes in the hall call her Mrs. Lin.

Seeing her polite words, everyone didn't dare to talk, Deng Zai said first: "Madam Lin, please rest assured. Although the recent rumors are not pleasant to the ear, as long as I wait, the young master's foundation will not make any mistakes."

Lin Shuyue nodded slightly, and said slowly: "I naturally trust you all. I came here today, just want to ask if there are any difficulties around here?"

Although the figures in the accounts are intuitive, industries like Xiangyun and Qinyuan are too large, and often the accounts cannot reflect all the problems.It's fine if it's normal, now that Pei Yue hasn't returned to the capital, the situation in the capital is dangerous, how can his woman just sit back and watch?
Qi Min glanced left and right, and said after deliberation: "Ms. Lin, everything is still normal at present, but the turnover of the water is a little nervous. Earlier, Lord Hou asked the Xiangyun to buy a large amount of grain and transfer it to Qinzhou in the south. The proceeds from the grain sales The money in the bank is spread out on the spot in the branch of the Xiangyun in the southern border, so the bank deposits are not particularly sufficient now."

Deng Zai then stated his mission to return to Beijing ahead of schedule.

These days, following Pei Yue's order, he had already ordered people to send Zang Fengwei's compensation and rewards to Lingzhou. At the same time, after discussing with Qi Min, he sent another group of people to Lingzhou to make preparations.

Lin Shuyue pondered for a moment, then slowly asked: "How much money is there in total on the accounts in Kyoto?"

Yang Hu, who was sitting on the other side, said: "Except for the share that is sent to the palace every month, the Xiangyun and Qinyuan are both closed at the end of the year for dividends, and this money must never be moved. Subtract the reserved expenses For expenses, there are only 27 taels left in the account, but if the salary from last month is retained..."

Lin Shuyue cut off his words calmly: "This money cannot be withheld, it must be distributed within two days."

Everyone felt relieved, Yang Hu nodded and said: "Yes."

Lin Shuyue said again: "There is no need to worry about the semicolon in the south for the time being. The income from the grain sales is enough to support the previous expenses. There is no need to worry about Lingzhou. Let people inquire and understand the specific situation first, and then transfer the money after Lord Hou returns. Open a semicolon."

Everyone responded repeatedly.

Lin Shuyue thought for a while and said: "There is one very important thing right now. Lord Hou has been away from Beijing for more than half a year, and it is inevitable that there will be slack everywhere in the city. Deng Zai, you bring your own soldiers to assist Qi Min and the others. The shopkeepers of Chaqin Garden and Xiangyun have hired workers. If someone commits a crime, they will be sent directly to the Kyoto government office. After the Marquis returns, he will have to deal with a very complicated situation, and he cannot give people a handle on these trivial matters."

Deng Zai's eyes lit up, he immediately got up and replied, "Yes."

Lin Shuyue sorted out her thoughts, and said slowly: "The development of Qinyuan is too fast, and it is not as stable as Xiangyun. It is inevitable that good and bad are mixed inside, so I just take this opportunity to clean up the inside. You don't have to worry about the wind and rain outside. Master Hou will return to Beijing in a few days, no matter Xiangyun or Qinyuan, the most important thing right now is not to cause any problems for himself."

The rest of the people also stood up to answer, and at this moment, a servant came to the door to report.

"Report to Mrs. Lin and Mr. Qi, there are people outside asking to see you."
