Chapter 377: Rich enough to rival a country, Shen Wansan's transformation

"Fengxiao, the first north-south longitudinal highway may be completed by the end of this year?"

"Um!"

Guo Jia nodded heavily and said thoughtfully: "My lord, it doesn't need to be until the end of the year. It will be officially opened to traffic on the first day of winter, with bluestone slabs and cement paving the road."

"good!"

"Wan San, how much silver do you still have in the treasury now?"

"Your Highness, it's less than a million taels!"

Mentioning the silver in the treasury, Shen Wansan couldn't help but cry sadly and said: "In this short six months, our trade war with the Hu family has invested more than 300,000 taels, and the north-south route has cost 1.5 million in half a year." The remaining two, the southern fortress, recruited more than 50,000 civilians..."

"Your Highness, if the situation continues like this, we will have to move the Song Dynasty Bank."

"No matter how much money we make, we can't afford to be wasted like this!"

Hearing Shen Wansan's cry of poverty, Ning Fan couldn't help laughing and said: "Isn't it just a little money flowing out from the fingers of your boss Shen?"

"Look at your potential!"

"If I remember correctly, glass will start to go on the market, right?"

"And the first batch of Maotai-flavor Maotai liquor?"

"Although the treasury in Huainan is empty, what about the treasury in the capital?"

Hearing Ning Fan's question, Shen Wansan smiled, with a look of pride on his face. In the past six months, Daqin Trading Company's footprints have finally spread to every corner of Dayu, including wine shops, banks, clothing shops, grain shops, salt shops...

It can be said that Shen Wansan is truly extremely wealthy now. However, so far, many dignitaries have intervened, and even important officials in the court have been killed, but they have never found out who is standing behind Shen Wansan.

Some people speculated that it was the one in the palace, but no one dared to go to the palace to question him.

It can be said that in the past six months, not only Ning Fan has lived very comfortably, but Emperor Yu has also been more comfortable than ever before. He even vaguely intends to take back power, and his prestige in the court is unprecedented.

"Let's get to the bottom of it, how much wealth do we have now?"

"Back to Your Highness, the treasury in Huainan has indeed bottomed out. There are more than 1.2 million taels of silver in Jiangnan, 3.7 million taels of silver in the capital treasury, and 970,000 taels in Jiangbei!"

"Um!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Ning Fan's face. It was really comfortable to have someone taking care of the money more and more.

When Guo Jia and Chen Gong heard this, they were dumbfounded, with a look of surprise on their faces: "My lord, the profit of this business in half a year is actually more than the income of the national treasury in half a year!"

"In this way, wouldn't the annual revenue of Bureau Shen's business power alone be more than the imperial tax?"

"hehe!"

"That's natural!"

Ning Fan felt that it was very normal. Today's Daqin Trading Company has penetrated into every aspect of Dayu. Among other things, it started a trade war with the Hu family half a year ago and occupied the Jiangnan market in just over a month with the help of fine salt.

The Hu family jumped over the wall and started a price war that continues to this day. However, despite this, the Hu family is still losing ground. Wherever the Ming Salt Shop goes, the Hu family's salt shops are closed down!

"After fighting with the Hu family for so long, I have no intention of continuing to play with them."

"Wan San, we have been planning for several months, are you ready yet?"

"Back to my lord, more than seventy shops in Jiangbei are ready for business at any time. The salt reserves are already in place. They are just waiting for your order to open tomorrow!"

"good!"

Ning Fan also had a cold look on his face, and said lightly: "Now that you are ready, let's get started!"

"Within a month, I will have all the Hu family's salt shops closed!"

"Next, it's time to take action against the Lu family!"

When Shen Wansan heard this, he couldn't help but look stern, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, don't worry, our Huainan Chamber of Commerce is already ready. Whether the Lu family wants to fight a price war or a trade war, our Chamber of Commerce has been planning for half a year, not counting our own grain storage. We can collect more than three million stones of food!"

Hearing Shen Wansan's assurance, Ning Fan felt relieved. He had never attacked the Lu family until now, because food involves the country, and a slight turmoil would only affect the people. If food prices rise, turmoil is bound to happen!

Therefore, he enjoyed the price war with the Hu family. Anyway, he would not lose money, and he could still let the people eat cheap salt.

"In that case, we'll save you the trouble and start the grain and salt stores together!"

"Declare war directly on the Lu family."

"promise!"

Shen Wansan has a sharp aura about him. In just six months, since he took control of the business bureau, his aura has become more restrained. He has transformed from a rustic upstart to a deep and meaningful boss. Even with a bit of majesty!

Enough to see it grow!

After arranging the business matters, Ning Fan also felt a little tired, and then looked at Guo Jiada: "Fengxiao, Huaiying, I have to worry about the tax matters."

"Now that we have money and food, our Huainan will develop rapidly. It will not take three years. We can continue to recruit civilians and start construction!"

"We can afford it!"

"good!"

Guo Jia and Di Renjie looked at each other with a wry smile. The current master is indeed rich and powerful!

"Evil is coming!"

"exist!"

Hearing Ning Fan's call, Dian Wei hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Since that battle, Dian Wei's body had recovered greatly under Hua Tuo's care. Later, Ning Fan signed in and signed out a pill. , directly restore peak combat power.

"Let's go back to Cai Mansion with me!"

"yes!"

Ning Fan had never revealed his identity to Cai Yan, and only Cai Si and a few others in the Cai Mansion knew about it. Walking on the wide streets, there were several times more vendors on the streets than half a year ago.

All the streets in Lingzhou City were paved with brand new bluestone slabs, and the streets on both sides were divided into commercial areas, entertainment areas, and catering streets and snack streets, with clear divisions.

Its prosperity was no less than that of Yuwang City.

"Zhang Laosan, you are here to eat and drink for free again?"

"When will you pay me back the three taels of silver you owe me?"

A noisy voice echoed through the street, and a middle-aged man in brocade clothes stopped a young man with a ruffian look on his face.

"What's the matter?"

"Can I still blame you?"

"I'll pay you back when I win back my capital."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Ning Fan suddenly stopped and walked towards the man: "Hey, where are you playing?"

"Can you take me with you?"

"You?"

The man called Zhang Laosan looked at Ning Fan carefully, with a hint of vigilance on his face.

"Hey, kid, don't enter our house without a guide."

"If you pay back the silver for me, I'll take you there."

Hearing Zhang Laosan's words, Ning Fan narrowed his eyes and gestured to Dian Wei, who was narrating, and the latter nodded slightly.

"Yes!"

"Hehe!"

Zhang Laosan put the silver directly in his pocket and looked at the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes: "Wait for me to come back, and I'll give you three points more interest!"

"You!"
