Chapter 506: Versailles
Chapter 506 Versailles
Aside from the money for the reservation, today's income is already shocking for Chu Nanzhi.
Conservatively estimate, after the dinner party is over, there will definitely not be a big problem if the total revenue is five hundred taels of silver.
Now it's just a single income from a single restaurant. After all the other courtyards and guest rooms in the garden are opened, it can increase a lot of income.
This gave her a lot of confidence in the management of the restaurant.
She also has more confidence in the planning of the racecourse.
Lin Tingyan admired this niece and daughter-in-law's business acumen very much.
I thought it was just Lin Jinxiao letting her out to mess around willfully, but just now, he and the third child went around Jushengfang and Qinghefang, and sent someone to find out, and was deeply impressed by Chu Nanzhi's layout.
Although I still can't understand what kind of tricks she is playing at Jushengfang, crowds of people gather together to throw stones into the potholes, it seems absurd, but it is really bringing popularity to Qinghefang restaurant. Come cheap.
This woman's thinking is full of maverick flavor, and there will always be unexpected gains.
From the fact that she tried the case of the Qi family, we can see the clues.
Such quick-witted and wise, if he was just a merchant, he would not pose much threat to him, but she is Princess Pingning, and her every layout can affect the kings in Beijing.
The daily income of such a huge amount of money is still legal income, which undoubtedly fuels Lin Jinxiao's fire.
Right now, it is unrealistic to persuade His Majesty to reinstate the policy of suppressing business, and to prohibit officials and family members from doing business. After all, people's livelihood in various places is dying, and it is necessary to revitalize business in exchange for tax revenue to enrich the national treasury.
The only way to get everyone to suppress this vigorous nephew and daughter-in-law.
After careful consideration in his mind, Lin Yanting slowly said: "My nephew and daughter-in-law are too modest, even if it is a reservation, it is a real money. Such a big garden, after it is fully completed, I am afraid it will bring a lot of money. If a single restaurant earns thousands of taels of silver every day, this is a unique and rare event in the entire Dahe Empire."
After a pause, he inspected the crowd, and sighed in a deep tone: "The Qi family is not a smart owner because they both open restaurants and do business. The wealthy country gentry also considers the common people, so it’s no wonder the business is so booming.”
Looking at all the dishes on the menu, there are not only cheap dishes worth tens of pennies a piece, but also rare dishes that are priced at four or five taels of silver a piece. The restaurant stays away.
Lin Tingkai didn't know why the sixth son never left the Qi's family, it was undoubtedly poking the scars in everyone's hearts, he frowned angrily and said, "The Qi's family helped the evildoers and helped Wu Enrong to do such unreasonable things, it's already their own fault Confiscated the house, and now the whole family has been imprisoned, so why should the sixth one mention it again."
"That's right, the Qi family is not a businessman's family."
It was also the wall that was pushed by the crowd, Concubine Yue Guifei disapproved and followed up with reprimands, while eating the big maha, she looked at Chu Nanzhi with a smile and praised: "It's Mrs. Zhao who has eyesight, but I say how dare he spare no effort. Helping Concubine Pingning, it turns out that he has already seen the excellence of his younger siblings."
At this point, she couldn't hide the sourness in her heart, and said with a half-smile: "I heard that Zhao Taigong donated a million taels of silver to the state capital today."
"The old man is indeed Gao Yi."
Hearing her sour words, Chu Nanzhi finally understood why Yue Guifei came to join in the fun today.
The original root knot is here.
My old lady didn't want to poach your corner.
Wen Wen smiled, and she deliberately sighed bitterly: "It hurts me to mention this matter, it is not easy for Zhao Taigong to accumulate such a large family fortune, and the slave family just investigated a case for the old man and saved him once Life, the old man insisted on entrusting the family property to the slave family, but the slave family refused, so he donated it to the state government, and I have nothing to do with the old man."
Everyone gritted their teeth when they heard this, swallowing bitterly.
Someone calculated the Zhao family's family property back then, and the full calculation could be converted into three years of tax revenue from the imperial court. Even His Majesty was so greedy.
If Zhao Guangyuan was a family like the Qi family, or if he was resident in Jingling City and other counties, they would have a way to calculate the family fortune.
But he lives in Luyan Port, and there is no reason to find him.
Chu Nanzhi has also noticed that these people are thinking about Zhao Taigong's family business.
It's true, a local snake like the Qi family has collected millions of taels of money for them in more than ten years. The gold, silver and all kinds of treasures can cover the court's tax revenue for one year.
According to the practice of tax collection in the Dahe Empire, the required expenditures are kept in various places, and the rest is turned over to the treasury. According to the current distressed situation, the treasury silver that finally reaches the treasury is only six to seven million taels, which is not comparable to the grand occasion in the heyday .
It's no wonder that even noble concubines and princes in the palace are willing to make friends with these lowly merchants.
Fearing that these people would be unfavorable to Mr. Zhao, Chu Nanzhi said bluntly: "Mr. Zhao paid money to build the state capital, which solved the urgent need of the state capital. He is the benefactor of the people of Pingning Prefecture, and even more so, the benefactor of me and His Highness. Now he He is old, and His Highness and I only hope that he can spend his days in Luyan Port well, live a long life, and not be disturbed by others."
Hearing this, Yue Guifei snorted silently.
She still needs to be reminded.
When the old man entrusted himself with the field shop in Beijing, he probably had already prepared a way out for himself, and had made up his mind not to enter Beijing again.
Now it's not easy for someone to deal with him, this cash cow can only belong to Lin Jinxiao.
It's a pity, it's a pity, the fish raised in the pond eventually flowed into other ponds.
Give a sigh of regret, Concubine Yue said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhao is a generous man. He is a rare philanthropist. He is not as cheap as ordinary merchants. With the protection of his younger siblings and King Ning, he will have no worries in this life."
"Then I will borrow the concubine's auspicious words."
Chu Nanzhi didn't want to stay here any longer. Seeing Li Ce and Peng Pai arrive in front of her belatedly, she quickly introduced: "These two are Li Ce, the deputy governor of the Captain's Mansion, and the new director of Luyan Port. County Magistrate Peng Pai, I heard that all the nobles are here, so I came here to offer a bottle of thin wine, I will not bother you, if you have orders, you can send the big shopkeeper."
"Sister Wangfei, hurry up and get busy, don't delay doing business because of me and your two uncles."
Concubine Yue Guifei pretended to be very polite and sent her away, and also realized that she had called Li Ce and Peng Pai to curry favor with Tang Ru.
At this juncture, how can Tang Ru and this dog couple be in the same breath again, Tang Ru and Lin Jinqian must stay in Luyan Port to restrain King Pingning.
So after waiting for Li Ce and Peng Pai to finish their toast, they were immediately dismissed, and they were not given a chance to get close to Tang Ru and the princess at all.
