It is said that after Xu Jing used Peng Yi to get rid of Liu Zhang's own businessman, he really made a lot of money from the Shu brocade business.
In ancient times, the wealth of a family was not determined by how many shops it had in the city, but by how much land and manor it had outside the city.
Although Xu Jing's house in the city was not big, outside the city, the mountains and land were his family's manor, and because Xu Jing only annexed rather than interfered, Liu Zhang's family was originally
The tenant farmers who worked for each household were hardly affected. Not only that, after Xu Jing gave them some extra wages, they worked even harder - the rise of Captain Xu Jing provided excellent help.
Just to give you a figure, before Xu Jing came, the gap in the entire Shu brocade business in Yizhou was about one million taels per year, and he could account for half of it. However, this number may be much smaller than that of the big chambers of commerce in the north.
Those who engage in business also rely on larger land, more people, and better consumer markets.
Although the market for Sichuan brocade is smooth, the output is only so much. This is not an ordinary crop that can be grown easily. Planting mulberry and raising silkworms, and finally boiling the silk for weaving. After the whole process, there is only so much for a whole year.
Infant yield.
Therefore, it is inappropriate to look closely at the total income of Shu brocade to see whether the income from Shu brocade is large. Therefore, on average, the income from a piece of Shu brocade is extremely huge.
Taking half of the income of one million taels, that is to say, Xu Jing's net worth is enough to be among the top ten in Yizhou just by relying on the income from Shu Brocade. You must know that except for him, which other family in the top ten is
Aren't they from aristocratic families who have grown up in Shu over many years?
He was a poor scholar who had become a monk on the road. A few years ago, he was traveling around to seek official positions. Sometimes he couldn't even get a warm meal. To be able to develop to this point in just a few years is a miracle among miracles.
Therefore, Xu Jing’s deeds are the best proof of the economic potential of Shu Brocade.
At present, Xu Jing has established a firm foothold in Chengdu by relying on Shu Brocade, and of course his own industry has also expanded, covering all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation.
Although there is a gap compared to Pang Xi who is entrenched in Brazil, it is not the kind that cannot be seen.
But here's the problem. His property is really too big, and it's a pity that no one has investigated him before. Once something happens to such a large family property, if you want to hide it or transfer it, you can't do anything about it.
You can get it done just by talking.
The key is that in terms of Shu brocade alone, Xu Jing’s path is different from others——
Because he annexed the Shu brocade industry, which was barely considered an official property before, he will inevitably take over other people's original shipping and purchasing methods, that is, he will take over the other party's route intact. There are of course many benefits to doing this. One is that he does not need to
No matter how hard you try to establish a cooperative relationship with others, you don't have to worry about meeting some unreliable partners. The smugglers who dare to take the official route are very big, so he can rely on this to quickly
Connect and start making money quickly.
But the shortcomings now seem to be very fatal.
Xu Jing probably never thought that his problems would be exposed, mainly because he never realized that the batch of properties he swallowed would be related to Liu Zhang.
As a result, now... because his various shipments and purchases were made through official methods, so I wanted to trace them, and all the documents and records along the way were clearly written - that is to say, Xu Jing is not only doing business because of the industry.
He was big and difficult to hide, but he still had a tail that could be manipulated. As expected, it was only a matter of time before Liu Zhang tracked him down.
This is why Xu Jing was so anxious before, he couldn't hide... Of course, it seems that he can't hide now, but he can't imagine giving up all his property.
Of course, he was not worried that Pang Xi would not be able to take over his own property. He had long heard that Pang Xi was considered a local emperor in Brazil. To say that Pang Xi might be in decline now, but when it came to making money, no one in the entire Shu region would doubt Pang Xi's ability.
What he was worried about was that if he handed over his family property, wouldn't Liu Zhang definitely find him?
In the midst of hesitation, I had another sleepless night.
——
Early the next morning, the streets outside Xu Mansion were deserted. Even the vendors going to the morning market had not entered the city yet, let alone pedestrians.
At most, three or two wild dogs shuttled between the streets and alleys, digging through piles of garbage.
But not long after, there was a young man dressed quite ordinary, wandering past the street.
It looked like he was drunk when he walked, but even though he was swaying, his speed never changed.
Until he came to the front of Xu Mansion——
In a matter of seconds, this young man who looked like a drunkard changed his appearance in an instant. Seeing him move quickly and lightly, he reached out and pulled off the red cloth on the door frame of Xu Mansion.
After falling down, he took out a letter from his arms and stuffed it into the crack of the door with great precision.
Then in the blink of an eye, he returned to his previous drunken appearance, staggering away as if nothing had happened.
Not long after, the door of Xu Mansion opened, and a lean man with a long beard stuck his head out and looked around, as if he wanted to find someone, but it seemed that there was no one on the street.
He sighed and returned to the door quite disappointed. Of course, he still held the letter that was stuffed into the door in his hand.
…
Xu Jing returned to his room. At this moment, his eyes were red, mainly because of a sleepless night, but even so, he still did not feel sleepy.
After taking a few deep breaths, he quickly opened the letter on the table and scanned the contents hungrily.
In fact, at this time, his heart was still wavering, but last night he tied the red cloth to the door frame by mistake... As expected, people tend to be depressed at night... Under the cover of night, Xu Jing was extremely scared at that time.
, and therefore agreed to Pang Xi's plan.
Thinking about it now, since the other party's letter has been sent to his hand, he doesn't need to worry about anything anymore. The decision has been made. Whether he can survive depends on his luck.
As expected, what was written in the letter made Pang Xi breathe a long sigh of relief.
"There is help... There is help... Hehe... Hehehe..."
Pang Xi was like crazy, holding the letter in his arms and rubbing it over and over again.
I don't know how long it took, but he finally regained his composure, and then took the letter and returned to the stove in his room.
He tore the letter into small pieces, then lit the fire and burned the letter together.
I don't know how he came here these days. After burning this letter, Xu Jing felt weak all over, and gradually he just lay on the table and fell asleep.
