"Fengxiao, the first north-south longitudinal highway may be completed by the end of this year?"

"Um!"

Guo Jia nodded heavily and said thoughtfully: "My lord, it doesn't need to be until the end of the year. It will be officially opened to traffic on the first day of winter, and the road will be paved with bluestone slabs and cement."

"good!"

"Wan San, how much silver do you still have in the treasury now?"

"Your Highness, it's less than a million taels!"

Mentioning the silver in the treasury, Shen Wansan couldn't help but cry sadly and said: "In this short six months, our trade war with the Hu family has invested more than 300,000 taels in the north and south. In half a year, it cost 150 yuan." More than 100,000 taels, the southern fortress, and more than 50,000 civilians were recruited..."

"Your Highness, if the situation continues like this, we will have to move the Song Dynasty Bank."

"No matter how much money we make, we can't afford to be wasted like this!"

Hearing Shen Wansan crying about poverty, Ning Fan couldn't help laughing and said: "Isn't it just a little money flowing out from the fingers of your boss Shen?"

"Look at your potential!"

"If I remember correctly, glass will start to go on the market, right?"

"And the first batch of Maotai-flavor Maotai liquor?"

"Although the treasury here in Huainan is empty, what about the treasury in the capital?"

Hearing Ning Fan's question, Shen Wansan smiled, with a look of pride on his face. In the past six months, Daqin Trading Company's footprints have finally spread to every corner of Dayu, including wine shops, banks, clothing shops, grain shops, and salt shops. …

It can be said that Shen Wansan is truly extremely wealthy now. However, until now, many dignitaries have intervened, and even important officials in the court have been killed, but they have never found out who is standing behind Shen Wansan.

Some people speculated that it was the one in the palace, but no one dared to go to the palace to question him.

It can be said that in the past six months, not only Ning Fan has lived very comfortably, Emperor Yu has also been more comfortable than ever before. He even vaguely intends to take back power, and his prestige in the court is unprecedented.

"Let's get to the bottom of it, how much wealth do we have now?"

"Back to Your Highness, Huainan's treasury has indeed bottomed out. There are more than 1.2 million taels of silver in Jiangnan, 3.7 million taels of silver in the capital's treasury, and 970,000 taels in Jiangbei!"

"Um!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Ning Fan's face. It was really comfortable to have someone taking care of the money and taking care of it more and more.

When Guo Jia and Chen Gong heard this, they were dumbfounded, with a look of surprise on their faces: "My lord, the profit of this business in half a year is actually more than the income of the national treasury in half a year!"

"In this way, wouldn't the annual revenue of Bureau Shen's business power alone be more than the imperial tax?"

"hehe!"

"That's natural!"

Ning Fan felt that it was very normal. Today's Daqin Trading Company has penetrated into every aspect of Dayu. Among other things, it started a trade war with the Hu family half a year ago and occupied the Jiangnan market in just over a month with the help of fine salt.

The Hu family jumped over the wall and started a price war that continues to this day. However, despite this, the Hu family is still losing ground. Wherever the Ming Salt Shop goes, the Hu family's salt shops are closed down!

"After fighting with the Hu family for so long, I have no intention of playing with them anymore."

"Wan San, after months of preparation, are you ready?"

"Back to my lord, more than 70 shops in Jiangbei are ready for business at any time. The salt reserves are already in place. They are just waiting for your order to open tomorrow!"

"good!"

Ning Fan also had a cold look on his face, and said lightly: "Now that you are ready, let's get started!"

"Within a month, I will have all the Hu family's salt shops closed!"

"Next, it's time to take action against the Lu family!"

When Shen Wansan heard this, he couldn't help but look stern, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, don't worry, our Huainan Chamber of Commerce has already been prepared. Whether the Lu family wants to fight a price war or a trade war, our Chamber of Commerce has been planning for half a year, not counting our own grain storage." , we can gather more than three million stones of food!"

Hearing Shen Wansan's assurance, Ning Fan felt relieved. He had never attacked the Lu family until now, because food concerns the country, and a slight turmoil would only affect the people. If food prices rise, turmoil is bound to happen!

Therefore, he enjoyed the price war with the Hu family. Anyway, he would not lose money, and he could still let the people eat cheap salt.

"In that case, we'll save you the trouble and start the grain and salt stores together!"

"Declare war directly on the Lu family."

"promise!"

A sharp aura surged around Shen Wansan. In just six months, since he took control of the business bureau, his aura has become more restrained. He has transformed from a rustic upstart to a deep and meaningful big man. Man, even with a bit of majesty!

Enough to see it grow!

After arranging the business matters, Ning Fan also felt a little tired, and then looked at Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao, Huaiying, I have to worry about the tax matters."

"Now that we have money and food, Huainan will develop rapidly. It won't take three years. We can continue to recruit civilians and start construction!"

"We can afford it!"

"good!"

Guo Jia and Di Renjie looked at each other with a wry smile. The current lord is indeed very wealthy!

"Evil is coming!"

"exist!"

Hearing Ning Fan's call, Dian Wei hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Since that battle, Dian Wei's body had recovered greatly under Hua Tuo's care. Later, Ning Fan signed in and signed out a pill. , directly restore peak combat power.

"Let's go back to Cai Mansion with me!"

"yes!"

Ning Fan has never identified himself to Cai Yan, and only Cai Si in the Cai Mansion knows about it. Walking on the broad street, there are many times more vendors on the street than half a year ago.

All streets in Lingzhou City have been paved with brand-new bluestone slabs. The streets on both sides are divided into commercial areas, entertainment areas, as well as restaurant streets and snack streets, with clear divisions.

Its prosperity is no less than that of King Yu's city.

"Zhang Laosan, are you fucking here to eat and drink again?"

"When will you repay the three taels of silver you owe me?"

A noisy sound resounded through the street, and a middle-aged man in rich clothes stopped a scoundrel young man with an unhappy look on his face.

"What?"

"Can I still rely on you?"

"I will pay you back when I win back my capital."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Ning Fan suddenly stopped and walked towards the man: "Man, where are you playing?"

"Can you take one with me?"

"you?"

The man known as Zhang Laosan looked at Ning Fan carefully, with a look of caution on his face.

"Hey, boy, don't come into our house without a guide."

"If you pay back the money for me, I will take you there."

After hearing Zhang Laosan's words, Ning Fan narrowed his eyes and gestured to Dian Wei, who was doing the narrator, who nodded slightly.

"promise!"

"hey-hey!"

Zhang Laosan directly put the money in his pocket and looked at the middle-aged man in fine clothes: "When I come back, I will give you three more points of interest!"

"you!"
Chapter completed!
