Liancheng also knew that this was the best arrangement. The reason why Jiang Hongxuan came to inform him first today was because of the relationship between Miss Yan and her grandmother.
Since there is a problem with Qi Lie, he must make arrangements as soon as possible for his business.
His Lianfu is not only the treasury of Prince Qi Lie, but also helps Qi Lie manage a lot of business.yyls
Since Qi Yan wants to touch Qi Lie, he will definitely find out all his personnel and affairs.
When Qi Lie fell, everyone from his family to his family would be buried with him. This was no joke.
"The rain will become less and less, and the weather will get hotter and hotter. Since the emperor is involved in the ice business, there is no need to be afraid, you can go ahead and do it. But for other things, you can take a look at the first half of the year.
Let’s discuss with the general about whether we can allocate more of the profits to the emperor’s private treasury, so as to add an extra layer of protection.”
When Jiang Hongxuan said this, he had his own thoughts.
Liancheng looked guilty when he heard this: "The commercial tax in our Hongwu Kingdom has always been high. The prince's property in our Lian Mansion, after deducting the cost, can earn very little. If it can be sold in large quantities, it will be fine."
Small profits but quick turnover, but the problem is that what you can provide is limited. Even if there are many shops, if you add them all together, it won’t be much. If you don’t reduce my purchase by 10%, I will use this to go
To the emperor?"
The money the Lian Mansion made for the prince was simply not enough. In addition to supporting the advisers, most of the time, he had to give money to others to do things.
If you do a good job, you will have to be given some financial rewards and the like. It is impossible to give any extra to the emperor.
The prince is not like the second prince who dares to accept money given by his officials in various names openly, so his financial resources must be tight.
Now Jiang Hongxuan's proposal, Lian Cheng also knows that this is the best, but the problem is that it is really difficult to implement it.
When Jiang Hongxuan heard the expected words, he smiled half-heartedly and said, "What you mean by these words is to ask me, Jiang Mansion, to spit out money for you so that you can lend flowers to Buddha."
Liancheng knew that he was being unreasonable, but now it seemed that wasn't what he meant?
The businesses that Yan Shiqing was involved in, although the shops were not big and the output was limited, in his opinion, they were much more profitable.
In the past six months, those combined must have been tens of thousands of taels, right?
Maybe outsiders don't know how much those costs are, but Liancheng has an idea.
I didn't see anyone from Jiang Mansion going out to buy anything. Most of the things came from Yan Shiqing's own two big houses.
Of course, except for flowers and seawater beads, those flowers and seawater beads are plentiful and cheap in Hongwu Kingdom.
This is almost equivalent to a business without capital. At most, it is just some labor fees, plus business tax.
However, commercial taxes are actually the same. As for labor costs, how much are they?
Therefore, when people in the capital earn money, they are probably going to be led by Jiang Mansion.
It's a pity that outsiders think it's their Lianfu.
"Now that we are all in the same boat, let's not distinguish between you and me so clearly. Losing some money can help the boat sail safely, isn't it good?"
Liancheng felt a little guilty when he said this, and soon he thought about it and said: "There will be less rain in the future, so everyone can go all out. It will probably be possible to dig it out in a year and a half at most. As long as you have Da Chu over there
If nothing goes wrong, the rivers and canals of the two countries will be able to communicate with each other. Now that the century-old friendship contract has been signed, once the rivers and canals are connected, business will definitely have to interact with each other. At worst, when the business of our Lianfu is done well by you, we will discuss it
On the basis of a good foundation, let me give you some benefits."
This is what Jiang Hongxuan was waiting for!
Even after the canals were opened in the Chu Kingdom, there would be no shortage of water. However, due to climate reasons, crop yields were pitifully low, and so many people simply did not have enough to eat.
If the rice, grain and other supplies from the Hongwu Kingdom could be sold to Da Chu at low prices, then the people would not be afraid of going hungry.
Mr. Liu had previously sent a letter, which stated that he had discussed with the prince and asked him to work here to find a way to solve this problem.
It is good that the Hongwu Kingdom has no shortage of food, but once it encounters the rainy season and water from rivers and seawater backflows, the food waiting to be harvested in many fields will be destroyed.
Therefore, Hongwu's rice grain itself cannot be considered extremely cheap. In addition, if it is transported to Dachu, transportation costs must be added, which is simply impossible.
But now that Liancheng mentioned this matter, he was willing to accept it.
After the canals between the two countries are connected, only those with connections will be able to obtain commercial management rights.
As the number one imperial merchant, Lian Fu could not lag behind others, and he definitely wanted to go to Dachu to make a fortune.
After all, Da Chu has gold and silver mines, and when doing business with the Da Chu court, there is no fear of being owed money.
Lianfu is involved in a wide range of industries, so the one he wants to cooperate with is naturally the rice and grain industry.
"It's okay to allow a level of profit, but we have to write it down in black and white. In addition, no matter what kind of business is done, should we allow a level of profit, or should we say it is targeted?"
Jiang Hongxuan was in a good mood now, and there was a smile in his eyes when he said this.
When Mrs. Lian entered the study, she heard this sentence and hurriedly asked: "What is a benefit, and what is targeted?"
When Liancheng saw his grandmother coming, he told her what happened before.
Mrs. Lian is a woman with vision and courage, and she is still supporting the Lian Mansion to this day.
Hearing this, she rolled her eyes and quickly understood that Jiang Hongxuan was setting a trap for her grandson.
But now that they knew it was a trap, they had no choice but to dig in.
But seeing her pondering for a while with her eyes lowered, she said: "Since Cheng'er said that we should give in to one level of benefit, then our Lianfu will naturally do it. But after the two countries are interconnected, there will be more involved. Our Lianfu's
It is impossible to give up all the miscellaneous business matters. In my opinion, the most lacking thing in Dachu at present is rice and grain. When the time comes, the first business my Lianfu will do will be this. This will be given to the first floor, I don’t know Jiang
Young Master, are you satisfied? But I don’t know, when the time comes, whether the rice and grain business will be done with Young Master Jiang, or directly with your great Chu imperial court?”
Lian Fu didn't think about this at all. Hearing this, he looked at his grandmother in surprise, then at Jiang Hongxuan, and then lowered his eyes.
This is the difference!
Even though they are all on the same boat, and they are all discussing matters about the prince, they can indeed not forget to seek benefits for themselves and the country at such a moment.
He can never compare to this!
Jiang Hongxuan saw that Mrs. Lian pointed it out directly, so he chuckled and said: "Hongxuan is greedy. Not only does he want the rice grain to be lower, he also wants the medicinal herbs! As for cooperation, the rice grain is with the court, and the medicinal herbs are with Hongxuan.
Private. However, Hongxuan also knows that the Lianfu is not involved in the medicinal herbs, but I hope that the Lianfu can help Hongxuan get involved."
