Simulate the heavens from Faerûn

Chapter 15 Profit and Family Management Arrangement

July 7th, almost half a month has passed since the last treasure hunt.

Rey and the others traveled many times to various countries in Bailuo Continent, and successively sold most of these precious ancient coins, which were of high price and could add to the family's history, in small quantities and many times in major cities and noble transactions, leaving about 5000 coins. Reserve and collect, the treasure hunt probably made £5.

Along the way, they encountered many hyena-like thieves and thieves, and even robbers who robbed along the way. However, Rey was convinced that there must be some unscrupulous nobles hiding among them. They secretly sent private soldiers to prepare to kill people and steal goods after the transaction, hoping to get free money. Make another profit after prostitution.

However, thanks to the help of his father, Baron Moretz, this trip not only added 3 simulation points to Rey, but also greatly improved the actual combat abilities of Haled and Rey, and finally allowed Rey to find his own strength position. Not as good as above, not as good as below. Compared with knights, he couldn't take even one or two moves and was dead. But compared with ordinary people, he was almost a crusher. He was roughly comparable to three fully armed and trained warriors.

The most dangerous one was when they were attacked by two knights after completing the last and largest transaction. The two knights led the team to attack in a flanking manner, which was not elegant at all.

Fortunately, they did not choose to directly ambush, shoot, and touch the corpse. Otherwise, even if Baron Morais was an old knight with rich combat experience, he would have to receive a box lunch on the spot.

Baron Molec took the initiative and tried his best to block the two knights. Halled and Rey were responsible for breaking through, relying on their superhuman physical fitness and a large number of pre-loaded guns to fire continuously.

In the end, Baron Morais also gave up his aristocratic demeanor and chose not to practice martial ethics. He threw a biochemical weapon mixed with quicklime and chili powder at the two knights opposite him. Rey also took advantage of it and threw it in his hand. The lightning flashed, igniting several balls in his hand and throwing them at the enemy. A puff of pink smoke enveloped the battlefield. The enemies holding flintlock guns and bayonets coughed and burst into tears.

Baron Molec and Haled also threw smoke bombs filled with paprika at the enemy. In a cloud of pink smoke, the enemy collapsed and collapsed. Baron Molec, Haled and Rey were slightly injured. Later, they took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the three of them saved the dog's life.

The three of them no longer dared to wander around the Bailuo continent, so they directly exchanged their money for gold and took the boat back to Plymouth.

As for why Rey was ambushed even though he had a simulation, Rey said that if there were no krypton gold, then the useful information from the simulation would be pitiful, and the simulation also has a reality index, and the future is not static, and With him as a butterfly constantly flapping its wings and new storms brewing, the future will surely undergo tremendous changes.

During the two-year treasure hunt, the Rhodes family made a total profit of 2 pounds from various treasures, and also retained a large number of rare treasures and equipment that were difficult to sell. In addition, in nearly five years , by constantly poaching the country, transporting silver, and exchanging gold and silver, a total profit of 18 pounds was made (this was only because the family became rich later).

Rey feels that he can proudly say: "The family has me like a fish in water! If the sky had not given birth to Rey, the family would be as long as the night!"

Look at just five years, the financial strength of the Guang family has increased hundreds of times. Before he woke up, the family's total annual income was more than 860 pounds, and the annual surplus was only more than 100 pounds. Now after his awakening, he is in dire straits. By 5 years, the family's direct income from treasure hunting had reached 20 pounds, and they had purchased a large number of properties in Plymouth.

The first industry that Rey suggested for the family to buy was gin - gin.

In 1712, Rey was worried about tuition fees after awakening his magic power. Rey originally planned to refer to the Anti-Monopoly Law first (emphasis added: the most profitable method is not the criminal law, but the Anti-Monopoly Law), but unfortunately there seems to be no monopoly company yet. concept, let alone antitrust law, Rey quietly took notes on monopolies and jotted down numerous thoughts.

No way, Rey began to think about the important symbols of this period of great voyages.

Boat?This is too time-consuming and expensive, and the rich can’t even build it; a gold and silver colony?The plate was too big to reach, too dangerous, and the water was too deep.

slave?This is too crazy. There is no way that he came here just to be a slave trader. It is too cheap, but the slave owner can consider it...

arms?This has to climb the technology tree. If it becomes outdated, it will be basically useless. If it gets ahead of its time, it will become a rope that hangs capitalists.

After all, is it possible that Rey came to this extraordinary world to climb the technological tree and let Muggles (mortals) use guns to kill him, a wizard with a wand. The dogs shook their heads after hearing this. Rey said that it was impossible to kill him. , not to mention how much technology he didn't remember...

cigarette?This is a punishment, but there are too many entry barriers and competitors, there are many relevant laws and regulations, and it is difficult to get raw materials.

liquor?This works.After all, the former King William III said it was okay and encouraged the drinking of gin. The current King George I also likes to drink, and the government allows businesses to produce gin without a license. Gin - also known as the "Lady of Geneva" among the drinkers of the country ".

In the 18th century, spirits based on gin became affordable for ordinary people in Wudu. The historical background at that time made people in Wudu need to "drink their sorrows". Thinking of this, Rey I immediately felt that there must be something going on. The most important thing is that in this pioneering era, the country did not have relevant laws and regulations on this, so there were many punishable operations, such as adding some sulfuric acid to make the wine more exciting... spices?The capital requirements are not high, but you need to have trustworthy people, and the risk is high. The family members plus one person only have 5 people (Moletz, Rey and his son; Brayton, Jenny Pritzker, and the Halled family of three). If you don't trust people, there is no guarantee whether the captain sold it himself, or whether it was robbed by pirates, or whether he took the ship and never returned...

At that time, Rey told Baron Moretz about his concerns about tuition fees and his proposal to open a wine bar.

The Baron immediately thought it was a good idea and said it would be a big seller. Later he explained to Rey that drinking was common in the Royal Navy on board ships, and gin was also very popular, and Baron Moretz also liked it.

And he was able to supply his wine to the Plymouth Navy, and from there to the rest of the world.

Don't use bean bags as dry food. After all, Baron Moraits worked in the Royal Navy for more than ten years, and finally he was knighted and disembarked. His connections in the navy are very reliable.

As a result, Plymouth Gin was officially established in August 1711, more than 8 years ahead of schedule, but the owner became the Rhodes family.

Of course, Rey also provided a method for making gin, which is to use juniper berries to soak and distill to produce natural spices. This is a method that takes its aroma but not its color (don’t ask Rey how he knows, I can only say online articles and degrees). Niangli has everything).

After the juniper berries are screened, crushed and immersed in treated alcohol, soaked at room temperature for four months, stirred regularly, and then distilled, the required spices are obtained.The winery made a pot-type distillation pot made of copper plates, which is used for direct-fire distillation and has a large evaporation area. A simple refluxer is installed on the pot, and the refluxer is connected to a snake flow cooling pipe to obtain the spices after cooling.

A cooling head is installed on the cooling pipe, which helps the insoluble part or non-volatile substances in the immersion liquid to be dragged into the flow liquid, which accordingly increases the content of the distillate components and highlights the characteristics of juniper berry flavor.

During distillation, the head and tail of the wine are strictly controlled, and the mid-flow wine is selected in stages. Finally, the head and tail of the wine are distilled twice. The aromatic wine obtained in this way is pure in quality, making the gin mellow in taste, endless aftertaste, and delicate and harmonious. .Finally, it is blended with processed alcohol, stored for six months, and bottled for sale.

Another method is to directly purchase the wine-making method from a small workshop. The gin is made by mixing juniper, lemon peel, angelica root, etc. Its taste is dry and pure.Seeing this method, Rey couldn't help but sigh: The pirates killed the genuine ones and even bought the genuine ones. It's a good thing to be born early!Suddenly, I felt that my wine shop had a brighter future.

After continuous expansion, the winery covers an area of ​​nearly 20 acres, with workshops, underground wine storage rooms, 800 cement tanks for fermentation and wine storage above and below ground, and more than [-] oak barrels.

After inspecting this bustling wine field, Rey and Breton headed for the next destination, leaving Baron Moretz indulging in good wine and huge profits. After five years of expenditure, it has made a net profit of 6 pounds so far, most of which came from the navy and pubs.

Another industry is white slaves, that is, white indentured servants. This was arranged in 1716 when Baron Moretz learned that Rey had the desire to develop colonies and become the local emperor when he grew up. After all, life-long barons who were born as civilians basically had no development in the mainland. After Baron Moretz left, he was no longer a noble when he arrived in Rey. If he made great achievements in the colony, he could still be promoted to a noble and become a hereditary noble.

Rey persuaded Baron Moretz that developing a colony requires many reliable and useful slaves. Free people cannot be relied on to be free, and nobles should have their own private slaves.

Therefore, it is recommended that families adopt children between the ages of 8 and 12 every year, most of whom are boys, as well as some white adults. After the children undergo basic education, they are selected into different categories such as skilled workers, hard workers, guards, elites, etc. for training, but the signing The slave contract lasts for at least 30 years. After all, it costs a lot to train them, and they will not be able to make a profit in the past 10 years. However, they will effectively guarantee the supply of talents for the family industry and will also become the family's loyal guardians.

The family adopted and contracted 1716 white slaves for training in 100. As of 1717, the family has placed more than 240 white slaves here for various educations.Molec also specially purchased a large amount of open space on the seaside next to the family manor to accommodate them, and specially purchased some white slaves with knowledge and skills to educate them.

The last is a batch of investments, which was led by Rey personally, that is, stock investment. Rey spent nearly 12 pounds to acquire and invest in the stocks of the Bank of England and the East India Company. Everyone knows, the pound paper The banknotes were issued by the Bank of England, which later became the central bank of the Republic of China. As for the East India Company of the Republic of China, you can tell from its name that it could not lose money.

In view of the poor financial knowledge of his father, Baron Moretz, Rey had no choice but to go his own way on this decision, and Baron Moretz reluctantly agreed due to Rey's previous mature performance and explanation.What follows are small investments that are not worth mentioning.

The main activity arrangement of Baron Moretz and the others after Rey left was to continue poaching the country to exchange gold and silver to expand the family's funds. The second step was to expand the output of the winery and consolidate the relationship with the navy to prepare for the family's entry into the colonies. Finally, It is to continue to adopt and cultivate a group of loyal white slaves as the foundation and foundation for the rise of the family. After all, how can one rule in the colony when there is no one to use? !
