my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 68 I Really Got Rich
A trace of excitement flashed across Zhu Di's eyes, and he said, "How much money is there?"

"It's pure profit. It's what's left over after paying salaries to the boatman and others. Isn't it still not converted?"

As he said that, Zhang Anshi looked at a cashier and asked, "How much is it now?"

The accountant was very respectful, looked at the amount carefully, and said: "If you go back to the owner's house, it has already been converted into 9000 taels of silver."

Zhu Di was taken aback: "Twenty-nine thousand taels?"

The accountant replied: "It's 9000 taels, but it's not clear yet, and more than half of the gold and silver have not been converted into the warehouse."

Zhu Di was breathing heavily, and he looked back at Zhang Anshi: "But what I heard is... your net profit here is around 3 taels."

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Your Majesty... no, when did Lord Hou ask someone?"

Zhu Di thought about it carefully: "Seventeen or eight days ago."

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "The approximate number at that time was indeed the same, but didn't the Marquis know that the business would be prosperous? Seventeen or eight days ago, although the shipping industry had a large scale, thanks to the three ominous men in the capital, it will Liang Baihu did it half to death..."

Zhu Di's body trembled, the three thieves in the capital were lawless, and their business was still booming?

Zhang Anshi talked about the situation of the shipping industry excitedly: "There are too many chaos in shipping everywhere. The people on the wharf suffer, as do the boatmen who carry passengers, and the merchants...they consign the goods. , and I have no idea. Lord Hou, this kind of place, because there are so many floating people, there are people from all walks of life, so it can be said that there is no kingly law."

"If my brothers and I want to make money, the first thing we need to do is to establish our prestige. Let people know that as long as you join our shipping industry, you will be guaranteed a steady stream of business and you will not be bullied. But For the ship passengers, it also provides them with convenience. Of course, the biggest source of profit is still in freight transportation. We have played our own gold-lettered signs. How many times have merchants escorted goods, but they were robbed and killed? Our shipping controls the circulation of goods and makes everyone profit.

"It's just that when our business is done, many people can't help being jealous. Those who used to be domineering at the docks, as well as the unruly boatmen, have also suffered. Therefore, if the shipping wants to do a good job, the most important thing is It is to establish prestige. That's why we have the three evil men in the capital. People on the river can't help but tremble when they hear our notoriety. Hanwangwei's hundreds of households came to bully us. If we don't fight back, the people on the river will die They all feel that we cannot protect their interests, so who would want to rely on us?"

"But after Liang Wu was dealt with, the people on and off the wharf realized that the three fierce men in the capital were so powerful that they could even offend the people of Hanwangwei. Therefore, in the past half a month or so, more and more boatmen have come to join us. There are more and more merchants who hire us to carry goods, and the business is booming, so this business is naturally booming."

What a smart person Zhu Di is, he immediately understood what Zhang Anshi meant, and his eyes lit up: "Interesting, interesting, so that's how it is. Liang Wu is good at fighting. Damn it, you told me earlier that I would take his house A whole street exploded."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

Fortunately, the calculation is underway here.

Zhang Anshi invited Zhu Di to talk inside. Zhu Di sat down and sipped his tea. He anxiously waited for news from the accountants.

Not forgetting to look at Zhang Anshi appreciatively, he said again: "In this way, Zhu Yong and his fellows have made great contributions."

Now that there is no one around, Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, they come and go in wind and rain for our shipping industry. They beat people every day, or they are being beaten. I feel distressed when I see them."

Zhu Di nodded: "It's been hard work, it's been hard work. It really is worthy of being the queen of the general family. The tiger father has no dogs. Their father is also so fearless in the face of danger."

Zhang Anshi took the opportunity to smile and said, "I wonder when His Majesty will let them go?"

"Let's let go." Zhu Di said ambiguously: "But don't be too hasty, I'm here to ask you, where did you learn all these skills?"

Zhang Anshi said: "This... I learned it from my brother-in-law."

Zhu Di sneered: "The crown prince is dull, if he is half as smart as you, then I can rest assured, you kid, what you are telling is not the truth."

Zhang Anshi didn't know how to deal with it.

But at this moment, a cashier hurried in.

Both Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi looked at the accountant.

The accountant said out of breath: "It's roughly calculated, it's calculated."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, obviously today is really miserable.

Zhu Di asked eagerly, "How much?"

"Sixty-seven thousand 350 three taels and 79 yuan."

Hearing this number, Zhu Di's eyeballs almost fell out.

It was twice as much as the expected 3 taels.

What is this concept?
The annual income may be as high as 80 taels?

How to make money with mere shipping?
I can directly take away 40 taels a year for nothing.

And according to Zhang Anshi's words, this future transaction...may have huge profits.

What a terrible number is this?
Zhu Di said: "More than 6, is there more than 6?"

The accountant was not surprised at all.

He felt that anyone who could do such a large business and obtain such a huge profit would have such an expression.

So he said calmly: "Yes, but... this is just a rough calculation, and it will be recorded twice later, but the final amount will probably not have too much deviation."

Zhu Di's face flickered, and there was an irrepressible impulse in his heart.

With a dividend of at least 40 taels of silver a year, how many soldiers and horses can be fed.

In addition... Zhu Di still has the idea of ​​creating a parallel in Beiping, and...he wants to go to the west to see it.

These countless ideas and plans are actually more ambitious than Emperor Kao Taizu Gao!

Because Zhu Di knew very well that he was Jing Nan's successful emperor and was regarded as a traitor and traitor. If he couldn't make the same achievements as Tang Taizong, he would be laughed at for generations to come.

And all these piles, every single thing, cost money.

Not to mention, whether there is a disaster here this year or a man-made disaster there next year, which one does not require money and food?

But such an inconspicuous transaction has...been so lucrative.

Zhu Di muttered, unable to speak for a long time.

Zhang Anshi said to the accounting room: "Go down, and then clear the accounts."

The accountant resigned.

Zhu Di was still sitting there, not saying a word.

He closed his eyes slightly, then suddenly opened his tiger eyes again. At this moment, Zhu Di became lively, his eyes sparkled, and he said: "This business... is very good. From now on, you will be in charge of this ship business." .”

Zhang Anshi nodded.

Zhu Di said again: "However... you must not spread any news related to this ship industry in the palace."

"I know."

"What do you know?"

"Your Majesty also wants to save face."

Zhu Di shook his head and said with a smile: "Young people, don't be too arrogant. You just need to know some things in your heart, and it's wrong to say them out."

Zhang Anshi then said: "Understood, the reason why His Majesty doesn't want to get involved is because His Majesty has a kind heart, and he can't bear to see his subjects know that His Majesty has a lot of money, so as not to make them feel jealous."

Zhu Di said angrily: "Fuck your mother, I'm rich all over the world, why are you afraid of this? It's just this matter, after all, it's unsightly, and you, you can just manipulate the business behind the scenes. Brother-in-law of the prince, don't let people gossip about the Eastern Palace."

Zhang Anshi tentatively said: "Then what His Majesty means..."

Zhu Di said lightly: "I am still Zheng Heng, Marquis of Wu'an, and you...you can do whatever you want."

Zhang Anshi nodded and said: "Understood. This business is done by Marquis Wu An. Marquis Wu An is manipulating this business behind the scenes to make a lot of money. Marquis Wu An sees money, so he loses money."

Zhu Di didn't know whether to exaggerate An Shihao or scold him a few words.

Afterwards, Zhu Di said again: "I will let Yi Shiha know how to deal with the money I earned. If there is anything in the future, you can also speak through Yi Shiha. If there is something urgent... Is there any eunuch you can trust in the East Palace?" Do you want to go directly to Datian to listen?"

The Forbidden City is not a public toilet after all.

It is very troublesome to go in and out, but eunuchs have natural convenience. Zhu Di has urgent matters, so he will naturally pass through Yishiha.

Then if something happened to Zhang Anshi, there must be someone absolutely trustworthy who can enter the palace to report at any time.

Zhang Anshi thought for a while, then said: "There really is one, the eunuch Deng Jian of the Eastern Palace, he is very loyal."

“How come you see?”

"He was so frightened that he covered his ears when he was hit by thunder. He must be afraid of death. People who are afraid of death are honest."

Zhu Di nodded: "Okay, I will remember this person."

As he said that, Zhu Di stood up, but he was still inexplicably excited, and couldn't help but pat Zhang Anshi on the shoulder: "Damn, I've talked to you so much, it's getting late, I can't stay out for a long time, I'm going back to the palace .”

Zhang Anshi said: "I respectfully send..."

"Send your mother a fart." Zhu Di said in a rough voice: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but like those rotten scholars, they put those nonsense on their lips. The people who said these words are all extremely respectful, but in their hearts... ...But I don't know what it is, people should have a true temperament, don't learn from your brother-in-law."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

Your uncle, what's wrong with my brother-in-law?
Ignoring Zhang Anshi who was frowning, Zhu Di walked out with tiger steps, but when he was about to go out, he looked back reluctantly at the unfinished gold and silver, and then left the small building.

Outside the building was already lit with thousands of lights, Zhu Di got on his horse and hurried back to the palace.

Back in the palace, Zhu Di was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Instead of going to Da Nei, he paced back and forth in the Wenlou, muttering: "A year is 40 taels, ten years..."

After the calculation was almost done, he suddenly remembered something: "Come here."
