Yan Lai Building, second floor. After hearing Zhao Tianhu obey his instructions, Luo Zhang was very satisfied and said: "Well, just master it. From now on, you can add the ice cubes needed in the cellar by yourself. Again, , you must not let anyone know that you know this magic, otherwise you will not only be unlucky, but I will also be unlucky, do you understand?" Luo Zhang warned again.
"Yes, little brother, I will definitely remember what you said!" Zhao Tianhu said seriously.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How is your income these days?" Luo Zhang asked.
"In the past ten days, Yanlai Tower and Huaqing Pool have earned a total of 1.55 million taels, including 300,000 taels from the auction of Yanlai Tower, 200,000 taels from Huaqing Pool, and 200,000 taels from Datang BBQ Shop. The food materials are 400,000 taels, the cargo transportation income at the wharf is 400,000 taels, the rental income of F shop in dock town is 200,000 taels, and the royal furniture store is 50,000 taels."
"Half of the income from the dock cargo transportation and the royal furniture store has been sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. 450,000 taels are our income. In addition, my share of 10% has also been deducted. 1.55 million taels are all small businesses. It's yours, brother!" Zhao Tianhu talked about his income in detail. When he talked about his 10% share, Zhao Tianhu couldn't close his mouth. It was only a small amount of money, but more than 100,000 taels of silver. A month's share is enough. So much, his annual income will definitely exceed one million. This is something Zhao Tianhu never dreamed of, but it actually happened, and all of this is because he followed the right person.
Luo Zhang was very satisfied when he heard the income from the accounts. Now that his income has become more and more stable, Luo Zhang's points have increased. Although he consumes a lot every month, there is still a surplus. In the long run, his martial arts will be improved. Enough points to reach the Grandmaster level.
Thinking of the light that night when the Luo Mansion was invaded by the Gaoguli people, Luo Zhang was a little excited. The swordsmanship at the Grand Master level was actually so powerful. If he upgraded the Luo family's marksmanship to the Grand Master level, he didn't know what effect it would have.
Walking into the underground vault, Luo Zhang took away one million taels of silver. As for the remaining 550,000 taels, Luo Zhang left it here. After all, the Royal Navy and the shipyard usually need a lot of money to support them. There is no money left. no.
These 550,000 taels are prepared for the Royal Navy and shipyards.
After collecting the money, Luo Zhang did not leave in a hurry. Instead, led by Zhao Tianhu, he walked into another underground staircase and arrived at the completed cellar.
The cellar is more than twenty meters underground. The space inside is astonishingly large as Zhao Tianhu said. After walking around, Luo Zhang was very satisfied. It was not humid here. It looked very dry after being processed by the craftsmen. It was used to store ingredients. This is the best place, and with the help of ice cubes, the ingredients will not go bad if they are placed here for not even a year, but half a year.
For this reason, Luo Zhang spent a total of 800,000 points on the one million points he had just earned, but even these 800,000 points only filled one-fifth of the cellar, and he wanted to fill the entire cellar. , it is impossible without four to five million points.
But Luo Zhang is not in a hurry. He will take his time with this matter. After all, he has not left yet. There is little point in filling this place. The right choice is to take turns filling the ingredients here.
After everything was finished, Luo Zhang did not stay in Yan Lai Building for long. He still had a lot of things to do today.
After leaving Yanlai Tower, Luo Zhang went directly to the outside of Chang'an City. He had not been to the military camp for ten days. As the commander of the Royal Navy, Luo Zhang naturally wanted to go on a tour to see the results of the new recruits' training.
Luo Zhang did not go directly to the barracks, but went to the dock. It was now busy and extremely busy. The carriages coming in and out were almost lined up in a long queue. The carriages were piled with goods, which the merchants wanted to transport. of goods.
The small town not far away is also extremely busy. The small town that was originally sparse is now also overcrowded. There are all kinds of people inside, and the shops are open one after another. Unlike before, there were only a few shops. Now here The shops are all in demand. If you can rent a shop here, even if you sell water, your business will not be bad!
In this regard, many businessmen who were originally not optimistic about this place but now want to settle here are beating their chests, but there is no way. Who said they don't have a long-term vision, and now they can only watch others make money!
Looking at the prosperous town and dock, Luo Zhang felt very pleased. All of this was slowly built by him, and now it has finally come to fruition. Not to mention that sense of pride!
Without staying any longer, Luo Zhang went directly to the dock. The dock was also extremely busy. Carriages were parked there. Workers were loading and unloading goods and carrying them to the ship. On the side, there was a bookkeeper holding a pen. Registration, how much freight will be charged for the number of goods, this all needs to be calculated in the end, and naturally it must be recorded in detail.
After glancing at the cargo ship, Luo Zhang looked to the left, where there were also ships passing by. These were not used to transport cargo, but offshore ships used to train new recruits.
But now, the number of new recruits being trained has been reduced by half.
Those who mastered skills in advance and excelled in studies were selected. These selected recruits were the navy on the cargo ships, and they were ready to be escorted south by the ships.
Master Sun Ren has already informed him of these.
And some old ones, who are stupid after all, are still training in the sea and learning to control on the ship.
People are different. Some people learn things faster and some people learn things more slowly. However, this does not mean that the slower learner cannot become a great person. It can only be said that he is not good at this kind of thing. Maybe he is not good at this kind of thing. Once you get on the boat, you will be good at controlling the boat, or some people will be good at swimming after getting into the water.
For these people, Luo Zhang did not retire, but asked Sun Renshi to strengthen training and strive to put them into shipping as soon as possible.
According to Master Sun Ren's report, there are only 3,000 people still training at the dock. In other words, excluding Liu Renyuan's 2,000 people, there are now 5,000 new recruits trained and dispatched. Such a discharge rate can be said to be very high.
You must know that in later generations, the training of new recruits lasted three months, but here he only spent half a month. I have to say that Master Sun Ren and his two brothers were very careful!
When Luo Zhang came closer, he saw that Du Shuang and a group of his men were training to swim, while another group of people, led by Liu Renyuandao, were training on the plywood to control the boat.
As for Liu Renyuan, he was drinking tea leisurely on the shore. He was a guard of the capital. Not only was his official rank higher than Du Shuang's, but his prestige was comparable to Du Shuang's. In addition, he had a group of soldiers who had returned from the south, so he didn't need to worry about things at all. Just tell your subordinates to cooperate with Du Shuang.
As for Master Sun Ren, he had gone south with 2,500 trained men not long ago.
"Your life is quite carefree!" Luo Zhang came to sit down next to Liu Renyuan and joked.
Seeing Luo Zhang's arrival, Liu Renyuan hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I don't know that Liu Renyuan didn't greet you when you arrived. I hope you will atone for your sins!"
"Okay, don't talk about these nonsense, tell me, how are the training of these new recruits?" Luo Zhang picked up a large teapot and poured himself a glass of water to drink.
"Sir, the recruits are trained extremely hard and study very seriously. Currently, 2,500 recruits have sailed south with the ship under the leadership of Sun Renshi. There are still 2,500 recruits at the port, waiting for the goods to be assembled and left by Du Shuang is leading the march south, and there are another three thousand recruits who are training. Although it is a little slow, it will only take about ten days at the latest, and these three thousand recruits will be able to go to sea!" Liu Renyuan reported.
"Will all the weapons on the ship be used? Will they use iron bars?" Luo Zhang asked.
"Everyone can do it. Those who don't know how to stay in the port to train. Not only can they use iron poles, but those who can go south with the ship have mastered fighting in gangs. Even if they don't have iron poles or strong crossbows, they can fight to the death with the enemy!" Liu Renyuan said! .
"Not bad, not bad, more comprehensive than I thought!" Luo Zhang nodded approvingly.
"Your Excellency, this is ridiculous. This is what you should do in a humble position!" Liu Renyuan said humbly.
"When Du Shuang goes south, these last 3,000 people can be merged into your hands to form a fleet of 5,000 people. This fleet does not need to transport goods. I want you to take them to sweep away the Goguryeo people and Japan. Human warships, ensure the safety of the coast, and if possible, sink all the capable warships of Goguryeo and Japan!" Luo Zhang said with a cold light in his eyes.
Thinking of being assassinated by Fan Bang people these few times, Luo Zhang became angry. If all their warships were sunk, how could they land in the Tang Dynasty? This was what Luo Zhang was thinking now.
