"Senior Shen Wendu meets His Highness the Grand Sun!"

In a restaurant in Yingtian City, Zhu Zhanji looked at the red-faced Shen Wendu in front of him and smiled slightly, saying:

"Get up, looking at you, you must be doing well lately!"

Seeing Shen Wendu like this, Zhu Zhanji smiled and joked, this guy must have been drinking with someone just now. When he called him over, although he cleaned up a bit, his face was obviously still a little drunk.

After all, the current Shen Wendu is different from the previous Shen Wendu.

Based on his important position in Xinyan, it is estimated that the merchants who are currently currying favor with this guy can line up from one end of Yingtian City to the other.

When Shen Wendu heard this, he quickly saluted and said, "Your Highness, Taisun, forgive me. I will definitely pay attention next time."

"Okay, I don't blame you. After all, your current status is there, and socializing is inevitable. Let's sit down and talk!"

When Shen Wendu heard this, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Zhanji smiled, then pointed to the chair beside him, and after Shen Wendu sat down, he said:

"I came to see you today. Firstly, I want to know about the recent sales situation of Xinyan. Secondly, I have something that needs you to deal with!"

Shen Wendu's face straightened when he heard this, and he immediately said: "Your Highness, please speak!"

Zhu Zhanji leaned back and said: "Well, let's talk about the new salt first. Recently, the new salt produced by the Ministry of Household Affairs was purchased smoothly, and the merchants who bought the salt followed the rules.

Is there anyone who breaks the rules while doing things?"

After Zhu Zhanji spoke, Shen Wendu immediately took out a book from his arms, handed it to Zhu Zhanji respectfully, and then said:

"Your Highness Taisun, this is the entry and exit account of the new salt transaction recently recorded by me. According to the previous plan, the new salt is divided into two types of salt. So far, the agency fee deposits for the two types of salt have been fully collected. According to your

According to your instructions, 30% of it has been given to the Ministry of Revenue, and the rest has been stored in the place designated by you."

"Nowadays, salt merchants from all over the country have begun to buy salt. After discussing with the adults in the Ministry of Household Affairs, my subordinates set the ratio of ordinary yellow salt to snowflake salt at a hundred times. To get one kilogram of snowflake salt, you need to take one hundred kilograms of yellow salt first.

As a result, about 70 million jins of yellow salt and 700,000 jins of snowflake salt have been sold so far. All the proceeds from yellow salt go to the household department, and 700,000 jins of snowflake salt, worth 10 taels of silver per catty, minus the 40 taels of silver from the household department.

Ten coins, the remaining total profit is more than 6.97 million taels."

"not bad!"

After hearing Shen Wendu's words, Zhu Zhanji nodded and casually looked through the account book.

He was very satisfied with leaving the new salt matter to Shen Wendu, a profiteer.

How long has it been?

I just made a fortune by charging agency fees.

Xinyan made another nearly seven million taels of silver.

He divided it into 30% and almost two million taels of silver.

Although it may not seem like much, this amount of money is not a one-time thing. As time accumulates, those salt merchants buy more and more new salt, and the amount of money will naturally increase.

By then it won’t be several million taels.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was very satisfied, Shen Wendu breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "As for whether the salt merchants in various places are acting in accordance with the rules, it's just that the time is still short, and the new salt business has just started near Yingtian, and some slightly

In distant places, new salt is still being transported, which is still unknown."

"All right!"

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he was a little helpless about the efficiency.

But he also knew that Shen Wendu didn't lie.

After all, this is not the future, and it cannot be done in a short time for a new batch of new things to spread on the market.

Just shipping to these places is not a simple and easy task.

"Please pay more attention to the new salt matter. I called you here today mainly for another matter!"

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Shen Wendu, and then waved his hand to Zhang Mao, who had been sitting beside him.

Seeing this, Zhang Mao immediately took out a few balls of wool from his arms and handed them over.

Shen Wendu took it, a little confused.

I looked at some wool in my hand that was similar to rope, and I was even more puzzled.

"This is wool thread woven from wool. You don't have to worry about how it came about. Just look at this."

Zhu Zhanji said, took out a glove from his sleeve, put it on his hand and said with a smile:

"This thing is called a glove. Wear it on your hands in winter to keep out the cold. The method is also very simple. Just use the wool in your hand and tie some slip knots with a wooden needle."

"Is this made of wool?"

Shen Wendu looked at the gloves on Zhu Zhanji's hand, and then at the wool in his own hand. He was stunned for a moment, then carefully picked up the wool in his hand and looked at it, and even brought it to his nose to smell it.

My eyes suddenly lit up when I discovered that this kind of soft wool has no wool smell at all:

"Your Highness Taisun, if this material is woven into clothing, which is softer and warmer than cotton, but does not have the smell of wool, it will definitely be very popular and make a lot of money if sold."

As expected of a profiteer, the first thing that comes to mind is that it will be easy to sell and make a lot of money.

But what Zhu Zhanji is thinking about now is not making money. After all, the money that wool can make is far less than that of Xinyan.

The money Zhu Zhanji currently has is enough to support him in accomplishing many things.

After a pause, Zhu Zhanji finally stated his purpose:

"There's no rush to make money. Now I have something I need to leave to you. You can see the gloves on my hands. I need to get no less than 200,000 in a short time."

"What does Taisun mean?"

Shen Wendu glanced at the gloves on Zhu Zhanji's hands and was a little confused about what Zhu Zhanji meant.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji explained: "My idea is to contract this matter to some merchants in batches and let them help with the production. Then I will pay them some hiring costs. What do you think?"

This is the method that Zhu Zhanji came up with. It is similar to the contracting system of later generations. Things that were originally impossible to complete in a short time were contracted to businessmen in batches.

Then you only need to pay a contracting fee to greatly speed up the progress of the project.

This is why Zhu Zhanji dared to boast in front of Zhu Gaochi that tens of thousands of people would knit sweaters with just one order.

After all, those businessmen will never refuse anything that makes them money.

When Shen Wendu heard Zhu Zhanji's method, he quickly thought about it in his mind, asking him to think about other things. He might not be good at it.

But when it comes to business, they suddenly become two people. After thinking for a moment, they immediately bowed their hands and said:

"Great Sun, may I ask how much this wool thread costs?"

Hearing Shen Wendu's question, Zhu Zhanji guessed that this guy might have other ideas, so he said: "A ball like the one in your hand costs about five cents!"

After a pause, Zhu Zhanji asked: "Do you have any other ideas?"

When Zhu Zhanji said that the cost of wool thread was only five cents, Shen Wendu was shocked, then took a deep breath of air, nodded and said:

"Huh... I do have other methods!"

When Zhu Zhanji heard that Shen Wendu did have a solution, he was not surprised.

He could also see that Shen Wendu was definitely smart, but he was obviously a bit biased.

If you ask him about other things, this guy may not be able to give you any good solutions, but when it comes to business matters, this guy seems to have opened red and blue double BUFFs.

This IQ has been rising slowly, and sometimes even a time traveler like him feels his eyes light up.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji looking at him, Shen Wendu sorted out his thoughts and immediately said:

"Speaking of it, my method is not much different from His Highness Taisun's method. It's just that I feel that instead of contracting these gloves to those businessmen, it is better to sell the wool thread to those peasant women."

"Businessmen are very profitable. If His Highness assigns the matter of gloves to these businessmen, not to mention that these businessmen get the wool thread, they will also hire peasant women as helpers. Some businessmen will definitely take advantage of the fact that His Highness is in urgent need of a large number of gloves.

Raise the price."

"If that's the case, why doesn't His Highness sell the wool thread to those peasant women. In this way, His Highness only needs to set up a sign to tell the peasant women who bought the wool thread how much the price will be paid for each glove that is completed.

, when the peasant women see the benefits, they will definitely participate in large numbers."

"In addition, it is winter now, and there is nothing to do when they are idle. Some peasant women will definitely see the benefits of wool thread in the process of knitting gloves after they get money. In this way, when we start selling wool thread again, we will immediately start selling wool thread.

Wouldn't it be better to be able to earn back the remuneration paid to them, and go back and forth without paying a penny to your Highness, but being able to get two hundred thousand pairs of gloves in a very short period of time?"

How else could Zhu Zhanji call this guy a profiteer?

This special code is not a profiteer, it is simply unreasonable.

A small contracting system was taken to a new level by this guy.

What does it mean to get 200,000 pairs of gloves for free in a short period of time without paying a penny?

If this is done according to Shen Wendu's method.

It’s like giving free publicity to Woolen Thread!

Wool thread, okay?

That's for sure!

Cheap, warm, and better than cotton.
