Volume 1

Chapter 65

Yan Song was anxious because Zhang Hao was able to get money. Yan Song knew that his biggest reliance was to get money for the court. If Zhang Manzi could do it, his status would decline. Once there was something that was not done well, he would be in trouble.

Now that the Ministry of Revenue has no money, he has been worried about the need for money these days. Now, he has sent someone to go downstairs and watch the tax collection.

At noon, Yan Song returned to Yan's mansion with great worries. Yan Shifan saw Yan Song coming back, so he hurried over to help him.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? It depends on your expression?" Yan Shifan found that Yan Song had a bad expression from the moment he entered the door.

"Well, go to the study room and say it." Yan Song replied, and took Yan Shifan into the study room.

Yan Shifan helped Yan Song sit down, and then a maid fetched water and started washing Yan Song's face and hands. The maid changed Yan Song's shoes. A servant brought charcoal.

Yan Song is old. It was only late August, and Yan Song feels cold.

After the people finished, Yan Shifan came over with two cups of tea and placed it on the coffee table next to him.

"Do you know about soap?" Yan Song picked up the teacup and spoke.

"I know, our mansion also sent people to contact us, purchased a batch and sent it to the south to sell!" Yan Shifan nodded and said.

"But do you know who made it? In addition, do you know the profits here?" Yan Song turned his head and looked at Yan Shifan and asked.

"This, dad... I don't know who made it, I just know that the Jinyiwei is selling it. I guess they came up with it? Where can we know where to go for profit?" Yan Shifan was stunned by Yan Song's question.

"It was made by Zhang Hao. I heard that the profit is huge!" Yan Song put down his teacup and said.

"What?" Yan Shifan immediately stood up and stared at Yan Song when he heard this.

"If it is true and the profit is huge, it is not a good thing for us. The reason why I have been safe and sound before is because the emperor still needs me and needs me to make money. If I can't make money, then there is no value in front of the emperor.

If the emperor had other sources of money, then I wouldn't be that important. Now, I just don't know how much profit this soap is? In addition, is this money owned by Zhang Hao or the emperor!" Yan Song sat there, staring at Yan Shifan and said.

At this moment, Yan Shifan slowly sat down. Thinking about this, Yan Shifan was not a fool. On the contrary, Yan Shifan was very smart and could be said to be an important think tank for Yan Song.

"Dad, Zhang Hao still has such ability? Is it the emperor behind it?" Yan Shifan turned his head and looked at Yan Song and said.

"This is also what I am worried about!" Yan Song nodded and said.

"If it were the emperor, this matter would probably be difficult to deal with!" Yan Shifan sat there with a sad face, then looked at Yan Song and asked, "The profit is really high? How much profit is there in a month?"

"I don't know, this soap has just been released, who can calculate the profit?" Yan Song shook his head and said sadly.

"If the profit is less than 1 million taels, the child thinks that it doesn't matter. If it exceeds 1 million taels, then we really have to be careful, but it's okay. 1 million taels cannot solve the problem of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor still has to rely on us!" Yan Shifan thought about it in his mind. Small money did not have much effect on Jiajing.

"Well, now I am just worried that it will exceed 1 million taels. However, I have thought about it. Apart from salt and iron tea and exported silk porcelain, there is no single business, and the profit can exceed 1 million taels? But this matter is not a good start!" Yan Song told Yan Shifan his thoughts, and Yan Shifan also nodded.

"That's not to be afraid. If the emperor can get some money, it would be a good thing. At least, it will reduce the expenses of the Ministry of Revenue! But, if it were Zhang Hao, this matter might not work? Zhang Hao is an earl, and this is obviously in business! Although Zhang Hao is behind the emperor, that's not work, right?" Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song and suddenly smiled.

Yan Song nodded when he heard this and thought about it.

"Dad, just let those ministers impeach. This soap cannot be done! You can't let Zhang Hao control it, nor can the emperor control it. However, if the Ministry of Revenue controls it, it's OK!" Yan Shifan continued to look at Yan Song with a smile and said.

"Well, it makes sense. This thing is best to hand over to the Ministry of Revenue for management and the Ministry of Industry!" Yan Song touched his beard, nodded and said.

"Then the kid will make arrangements, but don't worry, send someone to inquire first before talking about it!" Yan Shifan said with a smile on his face.

"Well, don't ask Lu Bing. Such a matter has already involved the interests of the Jinyiwei. He will not say it. Inquire from other places." Yan Song reminded Yan Shifan and said.

"Okay, hey, what a pity, all the Jinyiwei I had placed in Xiyuan were cleared out. If they were still there, it would be almost time to inquire about the news." Yan Shifan said with some regret at this moment.

Now there is no one in the Xiyuan Jinyiwei, so the news is difficult to find out.

"Quick in and find out clearly so that all officials can launch a move. Remember, don't spread rumors, just let those officials report memorials. If the rumors damage the emperor's reputation, we will be the one who will be unlucky at that time." Yan Song reminded Yan Shifan and said.

"Yes, the boy knows." Yan Shifan nodded.

In the afternoon of that day, Yan Shifan went to inquire, but he couldn't find out who made the soap, and he knew he bought it from the Jinyiwei in Xiyuan.

When Yan Shifan saw that he couldn't find out, he immediately sent someone to make an appointment with Chen Shi, using the excuse to buy soap.

Chen Shi didn't understand the matter and thought it was a big customer, so he went over to make an appointment.

As soon as I entered the private room, I saw Yan Shifan sitting in the middle. I was stunned for a moment and thought it was not good, but I still went in and saluted Yan Shifan: "I have seen the little master!"

"Well, it's true that he is from Xiyuan!" Yan Shifan looked at Chen Shi and nodded with a smile.

I've seen it before, but I haven't spoken, but I'm familiar with it.

"Little Master, what are your instructions?" Chen Shi stood there and bowed his hand and asked.

"Yeah!" Yan Shifan looked at the person next to him, and the man immediately stood up and handed Chen Shi a silver note of 10,000 taels of silver: "We order 10,000 yuan, and I don't know when the goods will be delivered?"

"It's tomorrow. There are too many people ordering now, and you need tomorrow as soon as possible!" Chen Shi put it away, and at the same time went to the desk next to him, wrote a receipt, and handed it to the man with both hands.

Then he stood there, not daring to leave, and kept thinking in his heart, what does Yan Shifan mean when he came here today? It must not be as simple as ordering. Yan Shifan doesn't need to come forward for ordering.

"Sit down, Chen Shi, right? Jinyiwei's hundred households?" Yan Shifan made a gesture of invitation to Chen Shi.

"You are polite, the little one is standing there. You have any instructions from the little one. Even if you say that you can do it, the little one will definitely do it!" Chen Shi looked at Yan Shifan and smiled with a flattering smile.

"Well, I just want to know who made this soap?" Yan Shifan sat there, picked up the teacup, finished speaking, took a sip of tea, and waited for Chen Shi's answer.

When Chen Shi heard this, he found out that he was asking about this, thinking about it for a while, and telling them it was okay: "Go back to the little master, it was made by Lu Anbo, just to make a small amount of money and spend money on us brothers!"

"Small money? It's more than that? Just now, we gave you 10,000 taels. You said that the delivery will be delivered today. At this rate, you can sell 300,000 taels of silver in a month, and the profit is 20%, right? 60,000 taels a month is a lot!" Yan Shifan put down his teacup and smiled and said as he looked at Chen Shi.

When Chen Shi heard this, he didn't understand Yan Shifan's purpose, so he didn't know how to answer.

"What's wrong? Am I wrong? Logically speaking, the soap you sell in one day is more than just a day!" Yan Shifan suddenly felt bad. If he calculated this way, the profit in a year would have exceeded one million taels.

Because according to what he knew, they would have to pay out tens of thousands of soap a day, which would be tens of thousands of taels. If there was a 20% profit, there would be about a few thousand taels to ten thousand taels a day. In this way, the annual profit would be two or three million taels.

"This is not that tall, Xiaoge Lao, that's it, but you also know that there are more than 5,000 brothers in our Xiyuan. How many can we divide, right?" Chen Shi still smiled and looked at Yan Song and said carefully.

"Oh, so, you Jinyiwei have all your share?" Yan Shifan was confused again when he heard this. He had all his share. What about the emperor?

"Yes, we can also get some money every day, but it's just a small amount of money, and everyone makes hard money!" Chen Shi was still very careful and kept laughing.

"Give him 2,000 taels!" Yan Shifan still felt worried, so he said to the people around him, someone would give Chen Shi 2,000 taels soon. Chen Shi saw it and didn't dare to answer.

"What's wrong? 2,000 taels! I'll just ask a few questions!" Yan Shifan saw that he didn't dare to answer, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Xiaoge, please ask if you have any questions. The younger ones know and must report truthfully. The younger ones dare not take the money. Before, our thousand households had no life because they stretched out their hands!" Chen Shi immediately bowed and said.

I was despised in my heart. During this period, I sold more than 130,000 taels of silver. According to what Zhang Hao said, I could get more than 6,000 taels of silver. Is that so short of that? Tonight, it will be the day to share the money.

"It's okay, take it, no one knows about this?" Yan Shifan smiled awkwardly when he heard him talking about Ding Qizhong, and then said.
