"It's about ten days and half a month," the second lady thought for a while, "The Grand Canal is accessible, but when you get to Kaifeng, you have to change the carriage, and ten days is definitely necessary." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Wait for ten days to send it over, and then send it back in ten days, I'm afraid that the daylily will be cold!" Xue Pan shook his head helplessly, "The current matter still has to be solved by yourself." ”

"Second wife, tell me about it, what kind of business does our Xue family have? I'm young, and I don't know a lot about it, so I want you to tell me about it. ”

Although the second wife was a little panicked, she spoke very happily, and after a while, she explained the current situation of the Xue family neatly and happily.

When Xue Pan's father took over the family's business, the Xue family was very short because of the handling of Emperor Taizong's driving affairs in the south of the Yangtze River, although the shelves outside did not fall, but the savings for many years had to be like this Xue Wang's family, quietly shipped out to meet the consumption, fortunately, Xue Pan's father, is really the first person in business, first asked the court to allow him to use two Huai salt to be accepted by the Xue family for five years, in order to fill the shortfall, the emperor is not a fool, Knowing that it is impossible to go south with a lot of pomp and expenditure to the imperial court, the people who come out can only be the ministers who take over in these places, if they are burdened with a deficit, it is really not good, and the two Huaiyan let the Xue family manage it for five years, which is nothing, plus the rest of the relatives helped to speak, but they also issued an edict at once, allowing this matter.

Five years of two Huai salt, the Xue family made a lot of money, according to Xue Pan's grandfather's meaning, just take this silver, to fill the deficit over the years, the rest is not enough, slowly return it in the future, Xue Pan's father, Xue Ding did not think so, he tried his best to take this silver and invest in other industries again.

How much money has been made here, and how much business has been spread, even the second room wife can't say clearly, "The eldest master is really a kind-hearted person," the second room wife sighed, "After so many years, Zhufang is only better on face, and the inner life is not very good. ”

"What kind of business does the second wife get in this room?" Xue Pan hurriedly interrupted the second wife's words of gratitude, what is needed now is not to talk about these, the most important thing is to see what the current situation is, "I think, the errand of the Zhufang Leader should be different, right?" ”

"Yes, our second room, the eldest lord is assigned to maritime trade, specializing in merchant ships, Jinling here, whether it is doing business in the North Sea or the South Seas, it is very convenient, our Xue family has set up several teams of maritime merchant ships, which is in charge of our second room. This is the grace that the eldest lord asked for from Emperor Taizong, after all, a few years ago, the sea ban was not opened, and our Xue family and the Wang family almost divided the business on the sea. ”

Good fellows, you must know that this maritime trade was originally the most profitable, Chinese porcelain was shipped to Europe, which could be exchanged for the same weight of gold, and the emperor of the ancient Roman Empire appeared in public wearing a purple silk dress, which caused a sensation in the whole city of Rome, and such silk, within the borders of China, was nothing more than a curtain hung by large families.

This is only their own production, and those that are transported everywhere, in the past, Europe was full of rat infestations, and the plague died countless people together, and a merchant presented a pair of cats to the king of Europe, yes, yes, it was a cat, the king Dayue, allowed the merchant to take away the same weight of gold as his own weight, at this time, it is estimated that the merchant hated the most was why he was not a big fat man of two hundred pounds.

What's more, listening to the meaning of the second wife, this business is still a monopoly business, and it is no wonder that a monopoly business is the best thing to do.

Presumably, the relationship between the big house and the second room is very close, otherwise he would not have taken this most important business in Xue Pan's opinion and assigned it to the second room.

"It's hard to do business these years," Mrs. Erfang said, "This sea ban has been open for more than ten years, and everyone who can run a boat has gone to the sea to do business, but our Xue family got up early, although it has made less money over the years, but it is not difficult, no more than the Wang family, since the head of their family has gone to Jingshi, the business of going to sea here has gradually stopped." ”

This is natural, there is more competition, and it is difficult to do business, but since it can still make money, it must not be bad, Xue Pan nodded and asked, "I looked at the master of the third room, his face was dusty, it seemed that he had just returned from the field, could it be that he was also doing business in the field?" ”

Xue Pan guessed right, the three-room master, Xue Yan'an, is doing business in other places, "Sanfang is in charge of the procurement of medicinal materials and pharmacies, our family's medicinal materials are the best in Jinling Province, but we have not been able to buy the north of the Yellow River, the south of the Yangtze River, and Hangzhou's Huqing Yutang, Yangzhou's Songhetang, are the best three pharmacies." ”

"The custom of our Xue family has always been that the master of the family personally went to the place where the medicinal materials were produced to purchase, and Master An heard that the eldest master had passed away, so he hurriedly rushed back from Changbai Mountain."

The third room master, Xue An, is in charge of the Xue family's medicinal herb pharmacy business, which is also a place to make money, but I don't know what the specific business situation is, and the second room wife doesn't know the inside situation. "The business of Sanfang is also the old man who helped to open up the Tai Hospital, and stabilized the errand left here in Jinling, so that it can sprout, otherwise our pharmacy is only in the city, where it can be like now, from Jinling Province, to Liangjiang, and exported to Zhejiang and Fujian?"

There should be a hidden secret in this, otherwise, Xue An, should not show such a look, it seems that there is some desire to speak and stop, and there is a feeling of guilt in the heart, this is not to be said for the time being, Xue Pan made up his mind, the second room wife said that the third room manages the drug business, this is a business that can not be crooked, generally speaking, the character should not be, so there is a chance to ask Xue An carefully.

"The four-room management is all kinds of storefronts, restaurants, teahouses, hotels, and pawnshops," the second-room wife said cheerfully, "This is an extremely trivial business, but in Jinling City, there are a number of restaurants and teahouses, which are basically our family's livelihood." ”

"It seems that the person who is looking at the fourth room did not come today? There are five rooms and eight rooms to pick the head, and the master of the third room helps them speak, and the rest of the people," Xue Pan asked, "I am clumsy, but I don't see it." Second wife, are they coming? ”
