After leaving the palace, Luo Zhang did not go home directly. Instead, he went to Yanlai Tower. It was the day to collect money, so Luo Zhang naturally had to go and have a look. Moreover, Zhao Tianhu also sent someone to inform him about the Datang Barbeque Shop. A lot of ingredients are needed, and Yan Lailou doesn't have much left, so Luo Zhang has to provide some.
As he moved forward, Luo Zhang was thinking about one thing. If he followed the army in the Northern Expedition, it would be a long time. How would the Datang BBQ shop get the ingredients? Without his provision, the BBQ shop would have nothing to sell. The business will definitely decline by then. The prince is afraid that he will ask further. Are you telling the prince that the ingredients are only available in the system and cannot be purchased at all?
This is definitely not possible, so we have to find another way.
When he arrived at Yanlai Tower, Luo Zhang patted his head and cursed in his heart for forgetting that thing. As long as he had that thing to preserve the ingredients, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
After getting off his horse, Luo Zhang went directly to the box on the second floor under Zhao Tianhu's respectful welcome.
Food and wine had already been prepared in the box. It was already noon, and Luo Zhang was hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and ate. As for Wu Shaobin, Su Dingfang and Zhao Tianhu, they would not be left behind, but they were eating in the box next door.
After he was full of wine and food, Zhao Tianhu walked in, had the food and wine taken away, and served a cup of tea at a suitable temperature, then stood aside with a bow.
Drinking tea and rubbing his belly, Luo Zhang felt indescribable enjoyment and sighed in his heart, this is life.
"Tell me, how are things going these days?" Luo Zhang put down his tea cup and asked Zhao Tianhu after taking a break.
"Brother, business is very good these days. The total income of Yanlailou and Huaqingchi has reached 800,000 taels. Datang Barbecue Shop bought 600,000 taels of ingredients. The Royal Furniture Store does not have many, only 100,000 taels. Liang, the largest number is at the Royal Pier, where a total of 600,000 taels have been paid in these days, not counting the 300,000 taels rented in the shops in the town, the total is 2.4 million taels." Zhao Tianhu took a This account book tells Luo Zhang his income in these days in detail.
Even Luo Zhang was shocked when he heard the figure of 2.4 million taels. It had been about half a month since the last time he collected money. So much money in half a month. How much would it cost in a year? ? Isn’t it an astronomical figure?
What surprised Luo Zhang even more was that Datang Royal Pier finally started to make a profit, and it was a huge profit. You must know that among the 600,000 taels, there are still 800,000 taels, not counting the money for the first batch of escorted goods by the major families. If we add this into the equation, wouldn't it mean that we would have earned 3.2 million taels in half a month?
Of course, half of the money from the dock should be given to His Majesty. In other words, although the Royal Pier earned 1.4 million taels in half a month, Luo Zhang could only get 700,000 taels.
But even so, it is still very good. Adding the income from other industries, Luo Zhang can earn 2.5 million taels. Although it is not the most he has gained, it does win in the long run!
With a stable income, Luo Zhang can do a lot of things, such as improving all his own martial arts to the master level, such as improving his and other people's cultivation. These require a lot of points, but even now The income is very good. If you want to do this, I am afraid it will take a year and a half. Whether it is to upgrade your skills to the master level or to improve other people's cultivation, a lot of points will be used.
But having hope is better than having no hope. Now Luo Zhang has seen such hope.
"Send 700,000 taels to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and tell them that this is the income from His Majesty's property and they will understand. Leave 800,000 taels for shipbuilding and military expenses of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty. I will take the rest away." Luo Zhang He ordered calmly.
Zhao Tianhu agreed, nodded and went down to get busy. After all, transporting 700,000 taels of silver was not an easy job. He had to hire several large carts. Fortunately, there were Shibaqi with him, so there was no need to hire anyone else. , otherwise it will cost another sum of money.
After Zhao Tianhu finished everything, Luo Zhang walked down from the second floor and went to the treasury. In the treasury, there were boxes one after another. This was the remaining money. Luo Zhang didn't think much and just put the remaining money in it. After collecting the money, he got a total of 1.7 million points. Adding the less than 2 million remaining before, he now has a total of more than 3.6 million points, which is a huge sum of money, enough to replace him three times. This martial arts skill has been upgraded to the master level.
However, Luo Zhang will not do this for the time being. Anyway, he can improve anytime he wants, and the points will not disappear if he puts them there. It would be bad if he uses the points to improve his martial arts at the Grand Master level. , besides, practicing still requires a lot of points. Once you accumulate more points, it won’t be too late to exchange them.
When Luo Zhang came up, Zhao Tianhu stood waiting respectfully.
Luo Zhang touched his chin and thought for a moment: "Take me to the warehouse of ingredients!"
Zhao Tianhu didn't ask any questions, turned around and walked ahead.
To be honest, if Luo Zhang miraculously produced so many ingredients, others would have already become curious and wanted to find out. They would even be curious if Luo Zhang miraculously took away so much money.
But Zhao Tianhu didn't have any curiosity, or in other words, he was curious, but he suppressed it deeply and didn't care or care about this matter.
Luo Zhang likes Zhao Tianhu's knowledge and interest the most. As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. If Zhao Tianhu had been so curious, he might not be alive today. Luo Zhang would have eradicated him long ago to avoid future troubles. This is The brilliance of Zhao Tianhu.
Just because Zhao Tianhu was not curious, Luo Zhang entrusted him with important responsibilities and handed over almost all his properties to him. This was a disguised form of trust he had in Zhao Tianhu!
Of course, Luo Zhang is not an unkind person. If you follow him, you have to eat some meat. Giving Zhao Tianhu 10% of his income is the biggest compliment.
For example, today Luo Zhang collects half a month's accounts and earns 2.4 million taels, and Zhao Tianhu will get 240,000 taels. Zhao Tianhu will deduct this money in one lump sum at the end of the month, which is regarded as his hard-earned money.
Two hundred and forty thousand taels in half a month, what kind of business can make that much in a month? Few, too few, so what reason does Zhao Tianhu have to do something that is sorry for Luo Zhang? That won't do him any good!
When they arrived at the food warehouse, Luo Zhang walked in alone, came out after a while, and entered the next room. After walking into ten such food warehouses, Luo Zhang stood still.
In these ten warehouses, Luo Zhang stored more than 400,000 points of ingredients, which was enough for Datang Barbecue Shop for more than half a month, and Luo Zhang could also earn 400,000 taels from it. He didn't have to work in the store, and he could Making friends with the prince can be said to be a blessing in disguise!
Zhao Tianhu was slightly stunned when he saw Luo Zhang filling up the warehouse. On weekdays, Luo Zhang would pile up to more than 300,000 yuan, which is just seven food warehouses. Why did he put so much today?
If it can't be used, it will break. Seeing that the weather is getting hotter, things are more likely to break, and the broken things are money.
Before Zhao Tianhu could say anything, Luo Zhang spoke first: "This warehouse is not enough. You can see if there are any shops around these days that you want to sell. Buy a shop connected to Yan Lai Building and open up the underground." , get a big cellar, the area must be large enough to store dozens of rooms, and it is connected to the Yan Lai Building, how much money will be deducted from the income!"
"Not enough? Brother, there are too many things. Even Datang Barbeque Shop can't sell that much in half a month. The things will be broken by then!" Zhao Tianhu was shocked when he heard Luo Zhang's words. He hurriedly spoke out words of persuasion.
"Why are you so anxious? I haven't told you the solution yet." As he spoke, Luo Zhang walked into a room, followed closely by Zhao Tianhu.
In the house, there is a large tank with a tank of water in it, which is used to keep the seafood fresh.
Luo Zhang took out a black stone from his pocket. The stone was only about the size of a fist.
Zhao Tianhu didn't know what Luo Zhang was going to do. Can a broken thing be solved with a stone?
Before Zhao Tianhu could figure it out, he saw Luo Zhang throwing the stone into the vat.
A magical scene appeared. The originally calm tank of water actually emitted a burst of white smoke.
When the white smoke dissipated, the water in the tank turned into real ice. Even standing far away, Zhao Tianhu could feel the slightest chill!
Zhao Tianhu was stunned by this magical scene, and his eyes changed when he looked at Luo Zhang.
"God? Brother, are you a god? Water turns into ice?" Zhao Tianhu murmured to himself.
