Wear it with the house, but I am a black household [Quick Transmigration]

Four years later

There is still a bit of coolness in the spring afternoon, but today the sun is just right, making people feel warm all over.

Anxi was lying in the yard of the study, with books covering his head, eyes closed and meditating.But in fact, he was in good spirits, and he could hear the reconciliation voice clearly.

"The orphanage in the south spent 3000 taels last year, and the one in the north was a little less. But why did the orphanage in the west suddenly increase so much? It's more than twice their estimated cost last year. What's going on?"

"Back to the princess, there was a disaster in the west last year, many people died, and the orphanage took in some young children and the elderly."

"Did you find out, these people, are there any fish in troubled waters?"

"Yes, but they were all kicked out, and the rest are poor people. So far, the orphanage has accommodated 67 elderly people and [-] children, which is twice as many as last year."

Anxi closed his eyes slightly, "The account is wrong, go check it out."

Li Yunqian paused while holding the pen, looked at Anxi and asked, "My lord, what's wrong, I'm right with the numbers."

Anxi opened his eyes and smiled slightly, "Yunqian, you made an empirical mistake. Doubling the number of people does not mean that the expenditure has also doubled. It may be more than doubled, or it may be less than doubled. It can't be exactly double."

Li Yunqian was taken aback for a moment, and then understood, "So they calculated this account book by multiplying it by 2, and how could the expenditure be completely multiplied by 2."

Realizing that she was about to be deceived, Li Yunqian pouted, a little dissatisfied, "These people, but they haven't seen it for two years, dare to play tricks on me. Ming San, you go and get someone to investigate."

An ordinary-looking woman in her early twenties immediately responded, bowed to the two of them, and then bowed out.

Throwing aside the account book of the orphanage on the west side, Li Yunqian picked up another account book to look through, and said to the others, "Who is responsible for the account of Chaoyang Newspaper, report the account."

"Back to the princess, it's the slave and Wang accountant Liu accountant." A steward in his forties stepped forward and said respectfully to Li Yunqian.

Li Yunqian nodded, imitating Anxi's appearance, with a blank face and a majestic look at the steward.

Seeing this, the steward quickly said, "Last year, the newspaper office made a profit of 15 taels, of which 6 taels were made in the capital city, and each of the three newspaper offices in the three southern states withdrew 3 taels, and the rest was kept in the newspaper office for daily turnover. The 3 taels was agreed when the branch was established, so the slaves only let people withdraw it. But according to the ledgers they submitted, each newspaper office still has a balance of 2 taels, should the [-] taels be increased?"

Li Yunqian thought for a while, and said directly, "No, it's [-] or [-] as agreed. In addition, you can send them a message so that they can open another branch if they have spare energy. Each branch only needs to pay [-]. And their own."

"Yes, princess." The shopkeeper bowed and answered.

"By the way, have you trained the talents you have cultivated?" Li Yunqian thought about the layout of the newspaper office. She is now rich and powerful, and she can make the newspaper office bloom on a large scale. However, due to the limitation of talents, it has only opened four times so far. Home, not enough at all.

"Back to the princess, there are three people in charge, all of whom can take care of themselves. In addition, there are seven editors who can review and write manuscripts, and then there are 18 craftsmen who can print and publish."

"That's not bad. According to the old rules, you select three groups, and each group allocates 1 taels to set up branches in various places. The addresses are as we agreed before, one each in Penang, Ganzhou and Hanzhangfu Group."

After Li Yunqian finished speaking, she looked at Anxi, Anxi nodded her approval, "Tomorrow I will go to the palace and report this matter to my father."

If it was any other business, Anxi would not be so careful, but if it involved a newspaper office that could manipulate public opinion, he would have to report to the emperor.

When the newspaper office was first established, Anxi gave the emperor three tiers of shares for convenience, while he himself only had two tiers.

Of course, the remaining five floors belonged to Li Yunqian. After all, it was opened in the name of her dowry, so it should be taken for granted.

Since its inception, the newspaper has earned a total of 30 taels of silver, and only 9 taels were distributed to the emperor, which was earned in three years.

For an emperor, this amount of money was too little, so it did not attract much attention from Emperor Xingde.

In addition, Anxi set up a special section in the newspaper, which was dedicated to interpreting the meaning of the emperor. If the emperor wanted the officials or the common people to understand something, he could ask someone to write an article and post it.

Originally, the emperor had eunuchs who wrote the essays, but now he has selected a few more talented writers to help the emperor write these articles.

These eunuchs are all good people. When writing, they always bring how wise and powerful the emperor is, how harmonious the emperor and his ministers are, and how much the emperor loves the people like a son.

People who read the newspapers will always be affected if they blow it too often. In addition, the emperor is not a foolish king, and Da Chu is still relatively stable. For a while, most people really think that Emperor Xingde is comparable to the famous emperor through the ages. Jun.

Occasionally, the emperor paid a private visit in Weifu, and heard someone talking about him on the side of the road. They said good things, and he was very happy. He was even more satisfied with the newspaper Anxi, and specially ordered a reward.

Because of this, even though there are several other newspapers in the capital, "Chaoyang Daily" still ranks first, and anyone with a certain status inside and outside the capital will order a copy.

Newspapers, in ancient times when information was underdeveloped, were actually a big killer. Therefore, even if the emperor didn't realize something, Anxi would report regularly, such as where to open a branch, and what changes in the content after the revision, and strive to do his best. Even if the emperor didn't read it, he could know it well.

The result of Anxi's doing this is also very good, at least the emperor trusts him very much, and he gently let go of Princess An's doing business in the name of King An and opening an orphanage to buy people's hearts.

Of course, this is all in the eyes of outsiders, and the actual situation is not the case at all.The opening of the orphanage was naturally reported, but the process was different from what they thought.

Ever since Li Yunqian got married, she couldn't wait to start a business plan.

She first opened a soap workshop, then cement and glass, and these are all businesses that make money, unusually, and earn a lot of money.

Although Zhao Tan has just grown up and has no power in his hands, he is still a prince after all, and he is also a prince with good intentions. He has cultivated some people for himself early on.

And these people are now cheaper than Li Yunqian, and Anxi asked them to help Li Yunqian expand his business territory, using all the resources of Prince An's Mansion.

Therefore, within a year or two, Li Yunqian laid out the stalls, and the money grew almost geometrically.

Such a big news, even those who don't pay attention, can't be unaware. Besides, Li Yunqian is still Princess An. Due to the emperor's preference in recent years, King An is quite favored. Objects that require attention.

So when Li Yunqian made a move, everyone knew about it, but these three products were new things, and they were sold relatively cheap at the beginning, so they didn't see the profit for a while.

That's right, Anxi and Li Yunqian did not take the high-end route, but set the price very low from the beginning, so that the people in the capital could use it from the beginning.

The reason for this was that Anxi had enough financial resources to support it. Zhao Tan originally had it. After Anxi returned to Beijing, the emperor successively rewarded him, with a total of more than 40 taels.

Such a huge number may be a drop in the bucket if it is used to win the heir, but it is more than enough to do business.

The main Anxi's identity is here, and he doesn't need to spend a lot of money on anything he needs.For example, the alkali used to make soap, if it is an ordinary person, can only find a way to extract it with plant ash, but Anxi doesn't need it, he directly asks people to find alkali mine.

Of course, he didn't take possession of it, but after finding it, he reported it to the emperor. After the emperor sent someone to occupy it, he gave Anxi the mining right.

In this way, Anxi not only does not need to pay the cost of alkali, but also allows the alkali mine to generate more income for himself.

The same is true for other resources, whether it is existing or not, it is just a matter of his words.

And Li Yunqian is a scientist with an excellent memory. He knows everything about where there are mines, even if they don't say everything, so they found all the things they needed without any trouble.

The raw materials are sufficient and the manpower is extremely large, so why do they still take the boutique route?

Except for glass, soap and cement are good things that benefit the people, so there is no reason not to promote them.And glass... Well, it's not that Anxi doesn't want to go high-quality goods, but that making glass into high-quality goods also requires technology.

Those modern glass products that look transparent or beautiful are not produced in a short while, but are finally achieved after going through various technical difficulties.

But now, craftsmen do not have that technology.

For Anxi, it is an extremely wasteful performance to let them study those glass products that look beautiful, but they are just that. With that time, it is better to make one more glass window.

With these considerations in mind, Anxi and Li Yunqian set the prices of the three products extremely low from the very beginning, so in the eyes of outsiders, the profit may be the same.

But this kind of situation can only be hidden for a year or two. There are smart people everywhere, and they soon realized that the profits are considerable, which is jaw-dropping.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about cement. It is needed for building houses, roads, and city walls and reservoirs. The amount will increase immediately.

If the quantity is large, what is not making money? !

So, soon someone was eyeing Anxi and Li Yunqian, wanting to take a bite.

But they were immediately warned. It turned out that there were shares of the emperor, not only that, but also the Queen Mother, Cheng'en Gongfu, and some clans.

If it was just King An, they could still think carefully, but with the emperor, the queen mother, and some clans who are not well-known but have certain abilities, who would dare to stretch out their hands boldly.

The eldest prince was reprimanded by the emperor without seeing it!

Therefore, these three extremely lucrative businesses have become a monopoly trend. Everyone saw that Anxi had received a lot of money, and their eyes were red with jealousy.
