If this can be really repaired, the money you earn every year is not just about demolishing and rebuilding the Weiyang Palace. Even if it is not used to transport troops, just using materials is enough to make a fortune. This kind of logistics channel is much more terrifying than grabbing money.

However, there is nothing comparable at present. Chen Xi would not say that the Grand Canal canal can be used to compare with it. On the contrary, the Grand Canal does not make money, but in fact, the material flow brought by the Grand Canal is much more economical than the one that makes money.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi remembered that because of insufficient money, the Grand Canal construction section for those wealthy merchants such as the Zhen family and the Mi family were outsourced. These families probably have now felt the charm of the logistics channel.

This is also the reason why the Wei family was beaten all day long and did not see the Wei family failing. The Wei family is really rich. Although he was so stupid back then that he didn't want to do this, Chen Xi wanted to connect the Grand Canal, at least he had to get the version of Emperor Yang of Sui.

That is to say, at least the Tongji Canal, Hangou, Jiangnan River, and Yongji Canal must be dug out, and finally the Guangtong Canal must be dug into Chang'an.

These canals are distributed just like this. The hometown of Chenliuwei clan is on the only way to Tongji Canal. After the Wei clan in Hedong enters Sili, he is next to Guangtong Canal. The Zhen clan in Wuji in Zhongshan is in the northern section of Yongji Canal, and the Mi family is in the Xuzhou section of Tongji Canal.

Therefore, when I was practicing, it was easy to say anything else. Chen Xi could only endure this kind of person next to me. Hedong Wei and Chen Liuwei did not want to practice, but Chen Xi's idea was very clear. If you don't want to practice, then get out of here. I will practice it myself.

The two guards were very unhappy, but they had no choice but to deal with Chen Xi. In the end, they could only build the canal of this county according to Chen Xi's plan based on the idea that I could not help but let Chen Xi run to my hometown to find fault.

In fact, there were also families with more insightful intentions at that time, such as the Pei family in Hedong and Du family in Jingzhao. They all had some ideas, but they were useless and had no money to repair a ghost.

At that time, only five major merchants could afford this level of things.

Therefore, these four families, whether they are happy or not, have repaired the section where they live. Although Zhen wanted to build Zhuo County in one go, and Mi wanted to build Xuzhou in one go, they were all killed by Chen Xi. If you four slags are finished, the Grand Canal will be out of salvation.

After that, there was nothing to say. The four families collected transaction taxes on their own territory. They agreed to help repair them and would give them one-thirty of the toll. Who made Chen Xi lose money back then? He was considered as contracting this thing to these scumbags in sections.

Thirty Tax One really has to say, but it’s not too much, but it can’t stand it. It’s the golden waterway, and it can reach all parts of the country except the northwest and southwest.

Therefore, he made huge profits and was not dirty. The four major merchants were very happy to eat, but it was also a blessing that they agreed to have a term when signing the contract. Otherwise, Chen Xi would have really been ruthless.

The two guards are actually more awesome than the Zhen family and the Mi family because they are two things, one is close to Luoyang and the other is close to Chang'an. The Zhen family is in the north and the Mi family is in the south. Although everyone is divided into one-thirty of the territories together, some ships do not go to your Mi family and the Zhen family. Do you have the nerve to divide them?

At this time, when a businessman is still a little bit of shame, and everyone has a backstage, so the ships from the north do not need to be paid the taxes and fees paid by the ships in Xuzhou, while the ships from the south do not need to be paid the Zhen family if they go to Zhongshan.

If you don’t go to the north and south, where else can you go besides going to Chang’an and Luoyang?

This is also the reason why the Wei family fell one after another, but it did not fall. They are really rich. At least in the past thirty years, the money issue is basically not a big problem for the Wei family.

What's more, Wei's family has a big move, which is to package future taxes and fees to the country, and directly discount them into materials and combat power, and even ask the Han Empire to fight on their behalf.

To be honest, Chen Xi really doesn't mind that Wei's family would pack up and sell this thing to the country, even if it costs a little more money, or even send troops to help Wei's family settle some things. However, Wei's family is watching this thing make money now and has no intention of losing it.

This is helpless, but it is also a very realistic situation. Who would sell the chicken that lays golden eggs unless it is absolutely necessary?

"The Weiyang Palace has been demolished and built, there is no need to do it." Liu Tong retorted, "But he can actually make so much money. Well, can this thing be built, can you invest money?"

Liu Tong looked at Chen Xi with a dark smile. Liu Tong said that he wanted to make a profitable business, and he should know that the royal family's living expenses during the Chinese New Year have been greatly reduced this year, from the previous 800 million yuan to 200 million yuan.

The total 600 million yuan was gone. After the grand ceremony, Liu Tong was confused when he received the living expenses from Chen Xi to support the entire royal family. What is this situation? Why is there so much less this year? The first year before was 300 million yuan. Are you greedy? Shangshu Pushe!

When Liu Tong received his living expenses, he counted the zeros several times. After finding that one digit was missing, he asked directly, "Horse Chen, why is the living expenses in this palace less than one digit!"

"Not much, it's only 200 million yuan. And it's not the living expenses for Your Highness, it's the living expenses for the entire royal family." Chen Xi said angrily. Although the living expenses are given to Liu Tong every year, and Liu Tong doesn't even give a single child to Liu Bei, Liu Yu, Liu Ai, Liu Zhang, and Liu Ye, this living expenses really include all the living expenses for the royal family, including Liu Ye.

"Ha? They still need living expenses?" Liu Tong sat up straight and asked with confidence.

What you said makes sense, but I was speechless!

That’s right, a group of royal members with official positions, titles, fiefs, and industries also have the face to ask her, the poor eldest princess, His Highness, who wants to live? What about her face!

"In short, there are only 200 million yuan of living expenses this year." Chen Xi assumed that the money was paid to Liu Tong personally. Anyway, others were not ashamed to ask Liu Tong for living expenses. "In fact, His Majesty's food and clothing expenses are all supplied by the Shaofu. I also serve as the Shaofu Supervisor, and there is no shortage of regular expenses."

There is a shortage of ghosts. In addition to serving as the Shaofu, Chen Xi actually also has the position of Grand Secretary Farmer, involving the income from Shanhai and Dize and the income from handicraft agriculture and animal husbandry, and is jokingly called the general logistics.

Liu Tong's food, clothing and food are all produced by factories under Chen Xi's name. As long as it is found in the industry, Chen Xi has always been allowed to use it casually.

Therefore, throughout the year, apart from snacks, shopping, and traveling, it may cost some of the money, and the remaining money has not entered the market at all. From a certain perspective, the money entering the market and circulating can be directly considered to have disappeared!

"So what?" Liu Tong raised his chest in dissatisfaction and said with the arrogance of the eldest princess, "Isn't the meaning of the existence of the Shao Mansion to support me?"

What you said really makes sense. Although it is a bit nonsense, the current value of Shaofu is really to support Liu Tong.

As for Liu Tong's garbage industry, that is, the eldest princess Tang Muyi and Wannian County, wake up, Liu Tong has never been to this day. Maybe even the county magistrate of Wannian County has forgotten that this county is actually the eldest princess Tang Muyi, and he has never paid Tang Mu's money by the way.

"With that being said, there is no problem with food, clothing and expenses, and there is still a lot of living expenses left every year. If you change to the previous dynasty, you can afford to support the Central Army with so much money every year." Chen Xi didn't want to argue with Liu Tong, after all, Liu Tong was very good at making trouble.

"Hmph, I found that if you want to deceive me into raising the palace guards, I will never be fooled." Liu Tong raised his head and said arrogantly. She would never spend a penny on raising soldiers. This is what the Grand Marshal should do. I, Liu Tong, are a seal tool that has no feelings!

"No one let you raise me, Your Highness." Chen Xi said helplessly, "In fact, there is a reason why the money is low this year."

"You have given Wu'anjun two billion!" Liu Tong pressed his chest with one hand and said with dissatisfaction, "I lied to me again and said I had no money."

"How about your Highness changing the right person to compare? I'm afraid I will tell the truth when he said Wu'anjun." Chen Xi silently picked up the teacup and looked at the side.

To be honest, Chen Xi can still accept other nonsense, but I will give Wu'anjun 2 billion to you, and you will pay 200 million to you. In terms of proportion, you actually made a profit!

Liu Tong opened Chen Xi's brain circuit and understood what Chen Xi meant in seconds, but his cheeks were still so angry that he turned red, and he almost turned into a bun.

"I am not convinced. It used to be growing every year, but this year it is only 200 million yuan." Liu Tong started to make a fuss. Although living expenses are basically not required, Liu Tong was still very happy when he looked at the long string of numbers, but now it has decreased.

Chen Xi looked around and saw two huge palace groups in front of Weiyang Palace from Lanchi Palace. "The Qiong Chongming Hall is open to the sky, and the Hongmeng structure is magnificent."

Liu Tong was silent, you said you just built such a thing, so tall and magnificent, and the materials were so expensive, and you had to show off your talents?

"To put it simply, this year, your living expenses have been spent on building these two palaces. I also served as the Young Mansion and borrowed part of them from other places. In fact, your living expenses should be negative." Chen Xi said with a sigh.

Liu Tong really wanted to beat someone at this moment. The palace was approved by the Zhengyuan and calculated by the Chang'an Money House, and handed over it to the Wei family. I just gave a suggestion that I could spend my living expenses. However, after looking at the tall palace outside, Liu Tong sighed.

OK, these two palaces are mainly used to clean the floor for their father, and it is also acceptable for their daughter to fulfill her filial piety.

"It will not affect our living expenses next year." Liu Tong stared at Chen Xi and asked.
