When Zhao Tianhu tidied up again and changed his clothes and appeared in front of Luo Zhang again, Luo Zhang was amazed.
In the past, Zhao Tianhu's appearance was that of a ferocious man with a strong figure. He didn't look like a good person at first glance. After all, who would be afraid of you if you didn't have a ferocious look for collecting protection fees.
But Zhao Tianhu today is completely different from what he used to be. If he goes to Dongshi again, those who he collected protection money from before will definitely not be able to recognize him.
At this time, Zhao Tianhu not only had a big belly and a round waist, but also wore a brocade robe and jade belt. He looked like a member of the Communist Party of China. When he went to Dongshi, he would only be considered a rich man and would not recognize that this was Zhao Tianhu who had collected money from them. .
Being stared at by Luo Zhang, Zhao Tianhu felt uncomfortable all over. He walked closer and bowed to Luo Zhang and said, "Brother, are you here to collect debts today?"
"Well, tell me, how's your income and consumption during this period?" Luo Zhang was lying on a lounge chair, drinking Lafite 1982, and the old man raised his legs on the balcony railing outside the private room on the fourth floor. , looking at the endless flow of people below, asked.
Hearing Luo Zhang's inquiry, Zhao Tianhu was shocked and said: "In general, the income in these seven days has not fluctuated much from before. Of course, the income is more than before. The most important thing is at the Royal Pier. More and more merchants are choosing sea transportation, and business is booming. Nowadays, cargo ships are just enough, but they need to be supplemented. The shipyard is working day and night to build offshore ships. A fleet will go to sea every ten days. Generally, it is equipped with There are ten cargo ships, four warships escorting, twenty cargo ships, eight warships escorting, counting the days, Lord Liu’s fleet should be back, and it will be a cycle when they come back!"
"Well, how many warships and cargo ships do we have now?" Luo Zhang asked again.
"Today, the Royal Pier has 100 cargo ships converted from offshore ships and 40 warships. Each warship has 2,500 sergeants. Although the cargo ships are not the sergeants we recruited, they are also Recruiting and screening people. Although these people do not meet our recruitment conditions, they are better than ordinary people and are qualified as crew members of cargo ships. This is all arranged by Lord Liu Rengui and Lord Sun Renshi!" Zhao Tianhu answered truthfully .
"Didn't the shipyard spend a lot of money?" Luo Zhang said with a wry smile. Just listening to the hundreds of cargo ships, you can know how much it cost, let alone forty warships, which need to be equipped with The more weapons, the more expensive they will be.
"Cargo ships are relatively easy to build, so a lot of them have been built these days. The cost is indeed high, but the income at the same terminal is also quite high, so there is no shortage of money!" Zhao Tianhu explained.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about how much money we made." Luo Zhang put down his wine glass and asked.
"The Huaqing Pool has collected a total of 200,000 taels of silver in the past seven days... Yanlai Tower has collected 300,000 taels... The Royal Pier has collected 800,000 taels... the furniture store, and the Prince The total amount of goods brought into His Highness' Tang Barbeque Shop is 500,000 taels. Excluding the 300,000 taels of military silver used by the Royal Navy and the 400,000 taels used by the shipyard. Last time you kept 300,000 taels here. Now there are still 300,000 taels in the underground vault. One million and four hundred thousand taels!" Zhao Tianhu reported in detail.
Hearing this, Luo Zhang nodded with satisfaction. Now the business is on the right track. After deducting expenses in ten days, he can get 1.4 million taels, which is not bad. If you don't count the salary and shipbuilding money, every month The income can exceed two million, but after building another batch of cargo ships, I'm afraid I won't have to spend so much, and I will be able to earn more by then.
As for salary, it is indispensable every month, but it only costs 200,000 taels per month, which is not too much.
Calculated in this way, the monthly income can be at least more than 4 million. If such a huge income is known to the major families, they will be jealous and crazy, even the business of the eldest grandson's family is no more than this.
Fortunately, Luo Zhang is low-key enough and does not show off at all. Others have no idea that Luo Zhang can earn so much in a month.
The main reason why he hides his income is that most of his money has been taken away by the system, and he doesn't have much left on hand.
There is nothing we can do about it. Even though we read a lot, it is consumed quickly. A large part of the money that is collected into the system must be used to purchase spiritual things every month and distribute them to everyone in the house. Otherwise, the government will How could the cultivation level of everyone here improve so quickly.
Now, except for him who is on the second level of the True Yuan Realm, Wu Shaobin and Chen Kuifeng have both reached the third level of the True Yuan Realm. As for the Eighteen Cavalry, they have also broken through to the True Yuan Realm. The three hundred guards in the mansion are now divided into Two batches, the first batch of 100 people recruited into the mansion have reached the third level of Qi Sense Realm, and the second batch of 200 people recruited into the mansion have also reached the first level of Qi Sense Realm.
These are all Luo Zhang's monthly income converted into points, and the investment has led to such results. It seems that Luo Zhang earns so much every month, but in fact, the remaining money and points are not much.
After collecting one million taels of silver from the underground treasury, leaving 400,000 as spare, and purchasing 300,000 points worth of food ingredients to stack in the underground warehouse, Luo Zhang left Yanlai Tower and returned to his home.
Now everything is in order, and he doesn't have to go anywhere else. Zhao Tianhu is watching over everything for him. If anything happens, Zhao Tianhu will send someone to notify him. Even if Zhao Tianhu doesn't come in an emergency, Li Yifu will notify him as soon as possible. .
Speaking of Li Yifu, when Luo Zhang returned to the house, Li Yifu was already waiting for him.
Seeing Li Yifu, Luo Zhang smiled and said, "I changed my clothes and got promoted. How about it? Are you still used to staying in the official department?"
Hearing Luo Zhang's inquiry, Li Yifu hurriedly stood up from his chair, bowed and saluted: "Thank you for your cultivation. Without you, Yifu would not be what it is today. Yifu just went to the Ministry of Personnel yesterday to perform his duties. The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel still treats me very much." Very well taken care of!"
"Okay, stop saying this. I don't want to listen to flattery. You just need to do your job well. Since the Minister of Civil Affairs treats you well, then you should do your job well. At this point, everything depends on your own performance. , although I can help you, but if you can't do it yourself, I can't help you even if I want to, do you understand what I mean?" Luo Zhang warned.
"Yes, sir, you will not be disappointed by your humble position!" Li Yifu said gratefully.
"Well, don't lose the power in the dark, but continue to expand it. Now I want more than just the troubles in Chang'an. I want to know. I also want to know about the northern battlefield and Gaoguli. You Do you understand?" Luo Zhang ordered.
"Yes, sir, I will continue to develop. Whether it is Chang'an, the northern battlefield, or Gaoguli, if there is any trouble, my Lord will know it as soon as possible!" Li Yifu promised.
"Well, just keep this in mind. Since you are here today, let's have dinner here. There happens to be roast chicken today, you can try it too!" Luo Zhang said lightly.
Li Yifu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that Luo Zhang asked him to eat here. Luo Zhang meant that he had entered Luo Zhang's core. In Li Yifu's view, although he had worked hard before, he had not been included by Luo Zhang. Among its core, even compared with Zhao Tianhu, his status is not as good as Zhao Tianhu's. Only Zhao Tianhu can be regarded as Luo Zhang's confidant.
From now on, he can be regarded as Luo Zhang's confidant. How can such a thing not make him happy? This is what he has been working hard for.
As night falls, Luofu is very lively. There are roasted chickens on the rows of barbecue grills. The aroma can be smelled outside the house. This is mainly because there are too many roasted chickens, dozens of them. , started roasting at the same time, and anyone who saw it at that scale would be shocked.
And the masterpiece of all this is what Sun Simiao said. He killed so many chickens for an experiment. It would be a pity to lose these chickens. They can only be grilled and eaten to avoid waste.
Fortunately, there was no need for Luo Zhang to grill the chickens. Instead, the Eighteen Cavaliers did the work for them. These boys were also very good at grilling. After all, this was one of their compulsory courses. It was taught by Luo Zhang. Training for survival in the wild, but Luo Zhang stopped practicing halfway through the training. In fact, they are all martial arts practitioners. Whether it is jackals, tigers, leopards, or pheasants and rabbits, catching a few is not a problem for them. , this is a crappy wilderness survival training.
The excitement lasted until midnight, and everyone dispersed. Li Yifu also left Luo Mansion with satisfaction.
