The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 159 Be Prepared (Part [-])
It's not like I don't know, but I'm shocked when I calculate it. During the few months from the New Year to the end of May, the accountant posted a lot of money.

Let me first talk about the jewels brought back from the destruction of six villages in the past six months. After taking them out and exchanging them for bank notes, there is a total income of 15 taels of silver. Sell ​​it and keep it in the cashier.

These bandits are really rich, and the people outside are so hungry that their chests stick to their backs, and they still have a lot of silver deposits, which really do harm to the people outside.

There is also the income of the shops, the expansion of the porcelain business, and the money earned from the porcelain will continue to expand the store in the future, and will not be sent back to the accountant, and the shopping malls will start in June.

This includes porcelain, glass, paper, spices, etc. The income of these shops, as well as some money from selling seeds and tax grains, excluding labor, rent and other costs, the net profit is a total of 6 taels of silver.

A total of 21 taels of silver was received, and when used for charity, first 5 taels were given to Jun Shiyi, and then 8 taels were sent, making a total of 13 taels, leaving 8 taels.

As for the monthly salary payment, it has been calculated and deducted from the cost. For example, the salaries of the employees in the paper mill, the employees who cut down trees, etc. are all included in the cost of the paper mill, including the cost of the ice and porcelain building for Xiao Che. Twenty percent of the net profit was included in the dividends of Bingci Building.

However, people like Shence Army, Guards, and Gunpowder Workshop, including those who plant fruit trees on the mountain, are all spending and no profit. After deducting their salaries, as of the end of May, there are about 7 taels of silver left. .

The shopping mall opened in June, including rent and so on. It should make a lot of money, but the bills are issued every month. June is not over yet, and the bills have not yet been issued, so let's not talk about these.

After all the calculations, the money brought back from other villages in the first half of the year is only 7 taels. If there is no such money, the bills will not be able to cover the bill. The main reason is that the system makes this charity too expensive. Upgrade the house once , that is, a large amount of money expenditure.

It seems that they have to work hard to make money. If those bandit villages are wiped out, where can they go to grab quick money? They can only count on the income of Fufeng Trading Company.

Coming out of the counting room, Su Tang thought as she walked, she has a way to make money, but the sugar cane has not been harvested and white sugar cannot be made, and many desserts cannot be made without white sugar, the grapes are not yet ripe, and red wine cannot be made for the time being. Wait.

It is possible to expand the shopping mall, go to another city to build another one, and make a lot of profit, but the current accounting room is only 7 taels of silver, and there is still some left over for turnover. It is not suitable for expansion at this time.

She wants to use it to buy food. I don't know what the drought in the south is like, whether it will spread, whether it will cause locust plagues due to the dry river, and whether the locust plagues will fly to their side. There are so many Uncertain factors must be prepared in advance.

"Master, the third master is back." Yingyue reminded Su Tang from the side.

Su Tang, who was fascinated by the thought, raised his head and saw Liu Zhonglin walking in this direction from the bridge.

When I got to the front, I reported the recent work, "Master, you have renovated the shops according to your requirements. There are also many shops in the snack street, and they have started business now. The shopping malls are almost busy. Everything was running in an orderly manner, with Rong Jin taking care of me, I came back when I saw nothing happened."

"What's going on in the south?" Su Tang asked out, she always asked Liu Zhonglin to inquire more about the businessmen from the south, trying to know more about what's going on there.

"It was said that there would be some showers some time ago, but now the showers are getting less and less, and the weather is extremely hot. They just think that there is less rain this year, but they don't think too much about it." Liu Zhonglin replied.

"This is the best." Su Tang also hoped that he was the one who made a fuss. It was just that there was little rainfall over there, not a severe drought. Maybe after summer, the autumn rain would start to rain non-stop.

The main reason is that the old uncle told her that she always felt uneasy. When she thought of the scene of cannibalism in case of a drought, she would feel terrified. Dead people and locust plagues are minor.

In this era, there is no high-tech to research specific medicines. They just take traditional Chinese medicine and try slowly. Who knows when the prescription will be prepared. Maybe when the prescription is researched, there will be no idea how many empty cities will spread. .

This is ancient times, and it is not impossible for the epidemic to destroy the country.

The more she thought about it, the more Su Tang felt that something was wrong. It was obviously just a lack of rain, and she suddenly thought of the survival of the country.

"Buy grain, Liu Zhonglin, go to the cashier and pay 4 taels of silver bills, take people to each city to buy grain and bring it back, and then bring some people from the Second Battalion of the Shence Army to protect you, so as not to make any foolish decisions." After thinking about it, Su Tang decided to save some food.

If something really happens as she imagined, she will seal the city, no one else can come in, and people in the city can't go out, rely on the food until the weather is calm, nothing else can be controlled, she will keep her own first. Let's talk about Yanyang City.

Now she only collects one-tenth of the land property tax. Yanyang City and Fufengzhai have a total of less than 2 people. Excluding the elderly and children, as well as businessmen, it would be good if there are at most 1 farmers farming.

She did the math, even if the common people planted potatoes this year, the tax they could collect in the spring would only be [-] to [-] shi of grain, so they had to buy some more grain for storage.

It doesn't matter if she thinks too much, the food here will never be enough for the people to eat, and the food in the village will be sold at that time, after all, it will not be thrown into the hands.

Liu Zhonglin obviously didn't know what was going on in Su Tang's mind. He just thought that our current grain production was high enough and enough for the common people to eat. Why did we go out to buy grain? But he didn't ask any further questions, just nodded in response. , the village owner's decision must have its own deep meaning.

"By the way, is there any girl who is ingenious and can read and calculate accounts to recommend to me?" After finalizing the purchase of food, Su Tang thought about how to make more money.

Now I can’t make desserts without white sugar, but I can make some honey bread, and sell them first. Anyway, the dessert shops have been renovated, and they are idle, so it’s better to make two kinds of food and open first.

"I don't know what kind of field the village master is looking for, is it needlework or weaving?" Liu Zhonglin asked.

"You know how to cook." Su Tang replied, after all, she had to teach others how to make these desserts first, so she couldn't make them by herself every time.
