Poor family mother and son

Chapter 187
There is really a lot of business at home, and there is enough cotton this year.

Chu Qing has only developed 20 mu of wasteland in the northern part of Xinlun Prefecture, not because of insufficient land, but because of the number of people. There are only 15 soldiers left in the northern part, 100% of which must be used for garrison and [-]% for land reclamation, so even if they can be found There are not enough people to cultivate [-] million mu of land.

But on these 20 mu, the average yield per mu is about 4000 catties, which is [-] million catties of cotton.

Chu Yuan and Lao Yu used Chu Qing to brag to others, while Chu Qing kept sneezing.

At this moment, Chu Qing looked at Cotton sneezing and worried at the same time: 4000 million catties, when I promised the emperor
The emperor's purchase is ten Wen per catty, which is 40 taels of silver!
How proud I was when I promised at the beginning, how distressed and painful I am now!
Xiaobao looked at his mother wiping her snot and kept mumbling: "I have so much money! How can I buy it!"

"Mother, you have it!" Xiaobao held up a thick letter to Chu Qing, "Look!"

The letter was written by Bai Jiaxing, and the letter said two things.

The first thing is that the three stores in Kyoto have completely stabilized, and the accounts are reported with this letter.Other
In addition, during the changing seasons, a large amount of textiles and meat are needed, and soap has become a tight commodity in Kyoto, requiring a large amount of supply.

The second thing is that Hu Hengqiu always shows up in the store when he has nothing to do.

This matter takes the most pen and ink.

The thing is like this: Once a guy from Dongcheng came to say that Mr. Hu had gone to Baoqingxiang Dongcheng store, and Bai Jiaxing rushed to entertain him, but when he arrived, his descendants had already left.

When I asked Mr. Hu what he was doing here, the guy said he was just looking around, and left without saying anything.

A few days later, the work of the Blue House said that Mr. Hu brought his subordinates to eat wine. At that time, Bai Jiaxing was instructing the work at the Dongcheng store. .

Afterwards, he would come again every few days, maybe in which store.

Bai Jiaxing doesn't just stay in one place, he often has to go to the goods yard or something, so he is annoyed by this Mr. Hu: What are you doing here when you have nothing to do!
But they didn't ask you to receive him, it was purely for Bai Jiaxing's sake of Chu Qing's official career.

Until the two of them met once, Bai Jiaxing wanted to invite Hu Hengqiu to drink what he said, and he finally asked him clearly. Hu Hengqiu's original words were like this: "It's nothing, I just come here when I'm upset. Any store will do, and I will feel much better after standing there for a while.”

Bai Jiaxing asked him to guide the work again, and he said: "You are very good here, you are making money every day, so you don't need guidance." When he said this, he pointed to the scene of paying at the counter.

At the end of the letter, Bai Jiaxing wrote: "Boss, every time Mr. Hu looks at the counter, he is happier than our monthly accounts.

I asked him to send someone to pick up the bank notes at the end of each month, but he said no, he has already discussed with you to settle the bill at the end of the year. "

Seeing this, Chu Qing thought to himself: He is not stupid, he sent people to collect the bank notes, and he was slandered, who knows how much he took?
The accounts at the end of the year are clear accounts, and they are sent to the Du Branch of the Secret Investigation Department. This is public and will not be criticized.

Chu Qing looked at the accounts carefully, and found that the three stores in Beijing alone had a net profit of 27 taels for half a year!

As expected of Kyoto, the money is easy to make!
Seeing that she had finished reading the letter, Xiaobao added: "Jizhou still has business in iron, oil, wine, and the Qingwatai head office. It's not difficult to spend hundreds of thousands. Xinlunzhou hasn't settled the accounts yet, so let's not talk about it." Included. There is also the salt business, mother, you always refuse to let the salt business get your hands on it, and you have never used such a good condition."

Chu Qing only cares about these projects, and doesn't take much care of the business affairs after handing them over. Now he finally knows how much money he has.

"We've already gotten involved in the iron business, let's take it easy, mother is really worried." Chu Qing replied.

"Then why let them expand the saltworks?" Xiaobao was puzzled.

"I didn't think about it. Mother just wanted to use it when she saw the resources, but salt and iron are important sources of tax revenue for the imperial court. If we stretch our hands too far, I'm afraid they will be chopped up in the future." Chu Qing said.

"Who dares! Our family is raising a secret investigator for the emperor..." Xiaobao refused.

"Hush!" Chu Qing hurriedly interrupted, there are some things that cannot be said clearly.

"Let them expand the salt field first, how to use it, maybe it will naturally appear when the time comes."

"When is that time?"

"Look at fate."

With such a Buddhist mother, Xiaobao is also speechless.

"Don't worry, our kid won't be hungry. It's not that the salt is not sold at all, isn't it also sold a lot to Voss? Mom just doesn't dare to ship it to the inland."

"Mother, you are timid!"

"Well, yes, mother is timid."

"Oh, when will I grow up, with me under my cover, let mother do whatever she wants, and do whatever she wants!"

"Then tell me, what to do with these cotton seeds now? There were a lot left last time, and there are so many this time."

"Choose the seeds, store the good ones, and make soap for the rest. Didn't you say that cottonseed oil is squeezed to make soap? Didn't you see Baijiaxing asking for goods!"

"Okay, listen to you!"

The output from New Lunzhou has had a certain impact on Daxuan's mainland market, which is reflected in pearls and beeswax.

Although Daxuan loves jade very much, pearls have begun to form a trend. Not only women like them, but men also use them as decorations on belts and hats.

Now Xiaobao's cognition is: everywhere is money!

Chu Qing's perception is: Oh, my money is actually here?

…………

Chu Yuan and Lao Yu came back, but they didn't bring back the fifty "technicians". They were left behind by someone sent by King Gu Li, who said they would give them back after they helped guide them to turn over the land. The year is also good for wages.

The reason was far-fetched, but Chu Yuan and the others understood that King Guli was a little uncertain, so they dragged on.

These are all spies from the secret investigation department, and they can't really be brought back, otherwise what will happen to Voss' intelligence network?So Chu Yuan and the others did not bring them back.

There was also a girl who came back with Chu Yuan. She was very good-looking, with a high nose, deep eyes, fair skin, and a pair of big gray-blue eyes that were full of guard.

The girl followed Chu Yuan every step of the way. When Chu Yuan entered Chu Qing's tent, she didn't dare to enter, so she guarded outside.

"What's going on?" Chu Qing welcomed them into the tent and asked while boiling water, but Xiao Bao didn't come in and was looking at the girl outside.

Chu Yuan scratched his head and didn't say a word, Lao Yu smiled a bit mischievously, which was quite different from his usual style: "Chu Yuan's daughter-in-law!"

"Ah? Really?" Chu Qing was pleasantly surprised.

"No! Lao Yu is talking nonsense!" Chu Yuan quickly denied.
