Chapter 890 889 [Changes in Shen’s Mansion]

No matter which world or era, what business expansion needs most is capital.

After Pei Yue signaled, Qi Jun stood up and said: "Master Qi, Xiangyun Hao has saved a total of more than 2.3 million taels in recent years, regardless of its early investment in branches and annual dividends to shareholders. But this year In April, we started to purchase grain in large quantities, and all the money was invested. The proceeds from the grain sales were used to open a store in the south to purchase goods, and they were not sent back to the main store in Kyoto."

Qi Min immediately stood up and reported, "Master, there are more than 270,000 taels of silver in Qinyuan's account."

Pei Yue pondered: "Kyoto will continue to operate for the time being, and the corresponding reserve money cannot be touched. Just do the math, Xiangyun and Qinyuan will take out my dividends this year in advance, and roughly how much money can be collected."

After a while of slightly nervous calculations, Qi Jun replied: "Back to Master, the dividends of the Kyoto Xiangyun this year are about 870,000 taels."

Qi Min followed closely and said, "Master, Qinyuan can spare more than 460,000 taels."

Whether it is Xiangyunhao or Qinyuan, Pei Yue holds nearly half of the shares. This number is not an exaggeration, but it is not enough for his current needs.

"One million and three hundred thousand taels..." Pei Yue raised his hand and tapped the table gently, then laughed and said: "It would be great if I could make a windfall at this time."

Everyone laughed, and then Wang Yong took the initiative and said: "Master, since we want to fully expand it, more than one million taels of silver will definitely not be enough. I want to use the money I have saved over the years..."

"Yes, Master, we don't need it anyway."

"I don't want to get married for the time being. All my belongings were rewarded by the young master, so I'll just give them all away."

Pei Yue interrupted their conversation and sighed: "I understand your intentions, but how can the hard work of working with me be in vain? Besides, you all have to support your family, so you can't be as reluctant to eat meat as before. I have asked the housekeeper to take care of it. After all, I took out all the money in the treasury, which is about five hundred thousand taels, which is enough to meet the first phase of investment."

There are two main reasons why his wealth is not rich enough. One is that he did not save the dividends from previous years, but continued to invest most of them in the expansion of Xiangyun Hao and Qinyuan. The second is that this time Six noble houses withdrew their shares, and part of the 1,370,000 taels of silver came from his own pocket. The dividends prepared for each family alone were not enough.

"I will invest all this money in Lingzhou. Wang Yong, remember my words and you must open the stall as soon as possible."

What Pei Yue said made everyone slightly startled. Wang Yong said with a slight worry: "Young Master, I will definitely do my best, but over there in the south..."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "The business in the south needs more manpower now, and I will think of another way to get the money. The better you do in Lingzhou, the bigger the momentum will be, the more people will pay attention. You don't need to think about it. Why do you do this? Your task is to do every detail according to my requirements. Do you understand?"

His expression gradually became serious.

Wang Yong and others bowed and saluted: "I obey."

Pei Yue said: "In five days, you take the first batch of five hundred thousand taels of silver and the shop assistant to Lingzhou. I will have the subsequent silver sent there in batches."

"Yes, Master."

"Let's do it like this for now. You can go back and select people, and then spend time with your loved ones. I will tell you the specific details in two days."

"Yes, Master."

After everyone retreated, Pei Yue sat alone in the hall, calmly thinking about this big game.

He is not worried about the loyalty of these young people. Although he has never mentioned it from beginning to end, they must have understood that they cannot take their family members with them when they leave Beijing this time. In other words, their relatives will still stay in the green countryside in the northern suburbs of Kyoto.

Liu Zhuangzhong. After experiencing the Geng Yi incident, Pei Yue became more and more cautious, because everyone may undergo some changes, and this method is necessary.

More importantly, he did not tell these young people the root cause of the company's adjustment in direction.

Maybe they will understand Pei Yue's true intentions in the future, but by that time the situation has become overwhelming and everyone is just a grasshopper on a rope.

only……

The news in Lingzhou is half true and half false, but the southern border needs a lot of money.

According to his and Mr. Xi's plan, the Xiangyun Ship would not only connect the five southern states, but also extend its tentacles into the Southern Zhou Dynasty. The initial investment must be an astronomical figure.

While he was deep in thought, a graceful figure walked into the meeting hall.

Since there was no movement from the soldiers outside, the identity of the visitor was self-evident.

"You just returned to Kyoto and you can't even rest for a day?" Ye Qi walked to Pei Yue and raised her hand to gently rub his temples.

Pei Yue stretched out his hand to hold her wrist and said with a smile: "Time waits for us. These things must be arranged in advance. If you wait one more day, something may happen. Now we must complete the preliminary layout before the emperor and others can react. As long as

These young people left Kyoto, and with the current speed of information circulation, those people will always be one step behind."

Ye Qi came to Pei Yue, looked at the worry in his eyes, and couldn't help asking warmly: "But what's the trouble?"

Pei Yue briefly recounted what had happened before, and then said leisurely: "The problem in Lingzhou has been solved. Wang Yong has been in charge of the Xiangyun Kyoto Head Office. Most people outside regard him as my representative. Yes.

He is based in Lingzhou, plus this

Investing nearly two million taels of silver at a time, whether they are Taishitai Pavilion or Luan Yiwei, they will definitely be attracted. The emperor knows my influence in Lingzhou. Even if he has completed the adjustment of the Western Army, he will never ignore the chessboard.

Come up to this corner."

Ye Qi suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart. In the past, there had never been a person like Pei Yue. Even though the situation would become increasingly difficult, he could still calmly play against a king who firmly held the power of the court.

"Do you need a lot of money over there in the south?" she asked with concern. On the way back to Beijing, Pei Yue told her the complete plan.

Although Mr. Xi is in charge of the overall situation and there will be no problem with the manpower, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Relying only on the money earned by the Xiangyun Hao's previous grain sales, it is still far from fulfilling Pei Yue's expectations.

Pei Yue smiled and pretended to be relaxed and said: "It doesn't matter, I will find a way. If it doesn't work, I will go and persuade the emperor to raid the Duke of Wei's mansion. Over the years, Wang Pingzhang has been cultivating cronies in the army while unscrupulously making money and stealing his money.

I'm sure I can make a lot of money."

Ye Qi was also amused, then shook his head and said: "You...why didn't you tell me that you were short of money?"

Pei Yue looked confused.

Ye Qi said softly: "You and I are one, and we must face any difficulties together. But there is no rush. I just remembered something. Someone is waiting for you over there in the back alley."

"Who?" Pei Yue asked curiously.

In fact, he has already reacted.

Ye Qi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Who else could it be? The daughter of the Shen family."

Hearing the extremely rare jealousy in her mouth, Pei Yue couldn't help laughing, then stood up and said: "Shen Danmo is not the kind of reckless person. If you come to her in such a hurry, of course she has something serious to do. I'll go see her."

Ye Qidao: "Go ahead, don't keep Miss Shen waiting."

Pei Yue said sincerely: "Let's go meet together."

Ye Qi suddenly remembered that when he was in Lingzhou, Shen Danmo rushed all the way to Linqing County, and Pei Yue said the same thing at that time.

To this day, it remains unchanged.

A smile spread across her face.

When the two came to the back alley of Qinyuan, they saw a carriage parked on the street, and then Shen Danmo got out of the carriage.

After not seeing each other for many years, she was still full of nobility, but Pei Yue and Ye Qi saw a strong look of worry on her face.
