Rivers and lakes rich man

Chapter 132

"Yanzhizhai? Are there really so many fragrance powders?" After Xu Jingwei listened, her attention was attracted by the Yanzhizhai that Zijuan and her daughter said.

"Well, there are a lot of them. I heard that many of them are made of overseas spices. Those ladies and wives of rich families usually buy rouge there. Moreover, there are also people from the surrounding counties who come here to buy rouge. They are very famous." Ziyan said .

"That~~ that must be very expensive?" Xu Jingwei asked a little embarrassedly while pinching the silk scarf in her hand.

"Buy." Wang Xiyue said with a smile, "My sister is paid now, are you afraid that you can't afford the rouge and face powder? It's really not enough, so let Big Brother Fang borrow it from you, can he not?"

"Sister, if it's really expensive, I'm a little bit reluctant." Xu Jingwei is now a little used to Wang Xiyue making fun of her with Fang Jing from time to time.

"What is there to be reluctant to do, be nicer to yourself. Do you think so?"

The Zijuan girls nodded hurriedly.

The two groups of Fang Jing and Tianzihao followed the carriage on horseback.

When they arrived in Mingzhou City, the girls said that they would go for a stroll in the city, and they would go directly to their residence in Mingzhou City.

Fang Jing did not stop him from this, the city is still safe, it is rare to come to Mingzhou City, and he wants to take a good look around.

People like Wang Xiyue and Xu Jingwei have never been here before, so they need to experience it.

Fang Jing was accompanied by five people, and the others were beside the girls to protect their safety.

In fact, even if Wei Zhengdong didn't look for him, Fang Jing still had to come to Mingzhou City.

With Tao Tong's death, it would be unreasonable for him, the deputy Qianhu, not to come to the Qianhu Office.

The official guard at the gate of the government office knew Fang Jing, so he didn't dare to hesitate, he immediately led the way and invited Fang Jing in.

"Master Fang, congratulations." Wei Zhengdong directly gave Fang Jing a document, which was the approval to allow Fang Jing's shipyard to build large ships.

With this approval document, Fang Jing can justify his name and build the ship in an aboveboard manner.

"Master Wei, thank you very much. If you have anything to do in the future, feel free to mention it." Fang Jing said with a smile, "At least I can still talk to Wu Linwei."

Wei Zhengdong said with a smile: "If there is really such a need in the future, I will not be polite."

He will not deliberately make friends with martial arts guards, but Fang Jing is different.

When Fang Jing was not a martial arts guard, everyone had contact with him.

Therefore, he is not so repulsive about making friends with Fang Jing.

Also, he is not a pedantic person, and he might be able to help sometime if he makes a little friends with people from the martial arts guard.

Especially after Fang Jing took office, he wiped out the pirates and maintained the peace of one side, which he admired a lot.

Such martial arts guards are rare.

"When the ship is built, my lord has to come and take a look in person." Fang Jing invited.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go." Wei Zhengdong shook his head and said, "I will leave for the capital in half a month."

"Congratulations, my lord, for being promoted." Fang Jing immediately understood.

In fact, he had known for a long time that Wei Zhengdong was going to be promoted to Beijing, so he was not really surprised.

Now that the shipbuilding approval document has come down, Fang Jing feels at ease.

"I'm ashamed. I didn't think that Master Tao and Master Lu were killed by pirates. I am responsible, but I am no longer able to catch the pirates. Master Fang, this matter is up to you. Blood sharks like blood sharks Haikou, once they come ashore, you have to kill them all to protect the peace." Wei Zhengdong shook his head and sighed.

Speaking of this matter, he, the prefect, is somewhat responsible.

He didn't notice the pirates coming ashore.

Of course, he is going to be promoted now, and the higher ups will not beat him back because of this matter.

To be honest, Taotong, a thousand households, has the greatest responsibility.

As a martial arts guard, Qianhu didn't notice the pirates coming ashore. If he didn't die, he would have to be held accountable.

"Master Wei, don't worry, I am building ships now not only for the Fang family's business, but if there is an opportunity, I can also use these ships to go out to sea to destroy pirates." The Fang family said.

"Okay, Mr. Fang has great ambitions, which is really admirable." Wei Zhengdong sighed.

Wei Zhengdong didn't ask much about Fang Jing's team.

In his mind, those masters behind Fang Jing would support him.

"This is what I should do. After all, I am the Deputy Qianhu of the Martial Arts Guard of Mingzhou Prefecture." Fang Jing said.

"I'll do something for you again." Wei Zhengdong didn't bother with it anymore.

Fang Jing was stunned for a moment, and soon recovered: "Yan Yin?"

Wei Zhengdong nodded and said: "That's right, Yan Yin has already come down, as much as your Fang family wants, I will get as much as possible for you."

Fang Jing and Wei Zhengdong mentioned about Yan Yin, but Wei Zhengdong still remembered it.

"The more the better."

"Master Fang is really big and proud!" Wei Zhengdong laughed, "The price of salt given by the imperial court is 20 taels per quotation, and one quotation can carry one hundred catties of salt. At present, the price of official salt is nearly one tael per catty. Citing is equivalent to only two hundred Wen per catty, so if you take Yanyin, you are just sitting and collecting money."

"Master Wei, the risks involved are also very high." Fang Jing shook his head and said.

The imperial court will give a little profit to the salt merchants, but there will not be such a large profit.

Now it is a monopoly on official salt, and the price of one tael per catty can be described as high.

If non-governmental salt merchants participate, the price will definitely drop by then. Fang Jing estimates that the price will drop by [-] to [-]%, which is about [-] to [-] yuan per catty, or even lower.

Just sell it at seven hundred taels per catty, and you can sell it for 70 taels per catty, and you can earn 50 taels.

It looks like a lot, but the loss of salt transportation has to be borne by the salt merchants themselves, especially in the process of salt transportation. Once the salt is robbed, more silver taels will have to be paid.

Of course, as long as you have the strength, this is indeed a big deal that is easy to make money.

"Master Wei, how much is the Mingzhou government?" Fang Jing asked after some thought.

"There is no specific allocation for each prefecture, but 200 million yuan is allocated to Jiangnan Dongjun."

This is a big deal of hundreds of millions of taels, and there are many people who want to get a piece of it.

There are more than a dozen prefectures in Jiangnan Dongjun, and it stands to reason that each prefecture only has 10,000+ quotations.

Of course, the final distribution will definitely not be evenly distributed, because the population and wealth of each province are different.

Fang Jing will not be satisfied with 10,000+ quotations, even if he gives them all to himself, he can only earn about 600 million taels, which is much worse than what he expected.

"Master Wei, Mingzhou Prefecture is considered a big one, and its population is also in the forefront of Jiangnan East County, how can we share more?" Fang Jing asked.

"There will be more, I'm afraid there will be a limit to how much." Wei Zhengdong replied, "What? Are you planning to take them all?"

"Of course." Fang Jing smiled.

Wei Zhengdong was stunned for a moment, rubbed his temples with his hands and sighed: "Master Fang, I just made such a joke, you still take it seriously."

"Master Wei, I'm not joking." Fang Jing said seriously.

Wei Zhengdong sat up straight involuntarily, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Fang, it is definitely not appropriate for a family to win the Yanyin of the whole family. Besides, I am sure to get 20 yuan. If I give it all to you, it will be 400 million taels." Silver, does your Fang family have so much silver?"
