    "It's just like the telescope you gave me last time, brother Wuji. It also uses glass as the lens, right?" Yaoguang girl nodded.  "Hey, second brother, why did you come up just now? I saw you had already left the shop just now." Li Shimin, who was in messy clothes and looked quite embarrassed, sat down in front of us with a wry smile, picked up Yaoguang sister and filled it for him  He took a glass of fine wine, wiped his mouth, sighed and said with a bitter smile: "Oh, I can't help it, there are too many people. It's okay to squeeze in from the outside, but I want to get out from the inside, but the merchants outside are  I want to squeeze in, how can it be so easy? Brother, you are really right. The glassware that sold for three thousand guan is indeed as big as the one you gave to Fang Shangshu that day.  The difference is that the shape is even slightly inferior. " "When I gave it to you as a gift, I also thought it was quite novel and suitable for playing with. But today, I know the price of this thing. It seems that you have found it again.  A profitable business." When he said this, Li Shimin's expression was very envious, with a hint of jealousy.  "I can't help it, there are too many places to spend money." I replied with a smile: "Think about it, Hancheng County can reach the scale it is today, how much money have you invested in it?" "  I really don¡¯t know this?¡± Li Shimin frowned and thought hard for a while before shaking his head.  My eyes were filled with anticipation, hoping that I would be able to tell the answer.  I slowly raised my finger and waved it in front of the three brothers and sisters.  "One million guan? No, it's impossible Could it be that brother is talking about 10 million guan?" Li Shimin first denied his guess, then turned around, his eyes widened, and he looked stunned.  .  "What do you think?" I rolled my eyes at this guy angrily.  "The shipyard alone spent more than 700,000 yuan from building the dock, expanding it, and purchasing materials. As for the cement plant, it started construction and has been expanded several times.  These expenses cost nearly 1.7 million yuan, including textile mills, paper mills, steel smelting plants, coking coal plants, and breeding plants, not to mention the cement straight roads built, as well as docks and low-rent housing.  Ten million guan? This is still calculated as Shaoli." I sighed with emotion. This is the truth. It has been true every day, every month, and every year since I arrived in Hancheng County.  Only by investing in Hancheng County regardless of cost can we achieve the situation of Hancheng County today.  Li Shimin grinned and shook his head repeatedly.  "No wonder Hancheng County is as big as it is today. The tax revenue alone accounts for almost one-third of the land that Xiongtai occupies. It seems that if you put in the effort, you will get the reward. This is absolutely true.  "That's exactly the truth." I nodded and said with a smile: "Although the investment is large, the return is not too bad. Now we can only break even, and there will be three to five years at most. Brother, I should be able to rely on it."  I'm using this to make money." After hearing this, Li Shimin secretly rolled his eyes with an expression that said, "Well, of course we are crying about poverty because of our children. This guy Li Shimin has the shame to come to borrow money from me."  money.  It¡¯s okay to sell grain to Uncle Queping. At least most of the factors there are for the suffering of the people under the rule of the heroes of the world.  But borrowing money is absolutely unacceptable. It means that I am funding independent forces, which will not be beneficial to the unification of the Chinese nation at all.  Nowadays, I dare not say that I am the richest man in the world, but I believe that it is not too far off. The annual income from enterprises in Hancheng County alone has reached more than 5 million yuan. Think about what I pay  The tax pay is almost over one million yuan, so it is not unusual to earn more than five million yuan.  However, most of the money was invested in the development of various enterprises, such as the three newly built cement plants, five lime plants, and two brick and tile plants in Guanzhong, all of which are owned by my son.  It accounts for 70% of the investment, and the remaining 30% is invested by the owners in Hancheng County who have become rich along with me, as well as the aristocratic families who have a good relationship with me.  In later generations, the two most profitable businesses are drugs, and the other is naturally the arms trade. But the problem is that nowadays weapons factories can only export a small amount of cold weapons, such as horizontal knives and the like. These cold weapons are  Private sales are allowed, but the volume is not large after all.  Because Guanzhong is peaceful, the demand is not large, and I don¡¯t want to sell it to other forces to encourage those guys¡¯ war arrogance.  We still have to wait a little longer, wait until China is pacified, and then dump it overseas. By then, let those guys get used to the cold weapons we developed, while we ourselves work hard to develop gunpowder weapons. If things go on like this, the Chinese nation will  Able to completely occupy the top of the world in terms of military strength.  Nowadays, many industries are currently booming. However, as a time traveler, I have seen the crisis. When the domestic market demand reaches saturation, then it is necessary to open up overseas markets. How to open up?  Naturally, we want to create things that foreigners need.  Fortunately, there are many materials on the land of China, which are useful for those Western Barbarian countries and the countries surrounding China.All words are very welcome.  Whether it is silk, porcelain, tea, or the glass products now developed and innovated by my master, they can definitely become good things that can be dumped overseas, and overseas barbarians would rather pawn their pants to buy them.  This is why I brought the glass products to the Western Market to show off. I hope that through these Western Barbarian traders and Western Region merchants, they can promote them for us.  By that time, I believe that countless Western Barbarian merchants and merchants from the Western Regions, as well as merchants from many countries around the land of China, will swarm in like blood-sucking mosquitoes smelling the smell of blood.  At that time, I will develop sea transportation. Although I want to travel thousands of miles, compared with the rugged land road, the ocean not only has a higher transportation volume, but more importantly, it is faster. Think about it.  , a clipper ship that can cross the Atlantic Ocean in fourteen days. If people are allowed to walk step by step according to the distance, even if there is no disaster and no illness, without any dangerous obstacles, it will take at least nearly a year.  And a person can only carry forty or fifty kilograms of cargo for a long distance at most, and on the land route, there are rugged mountains, dangerous swamps, huge temperature differences, and deserts lacking water sources. If you accidentally lose your way, then  Not to mention walking out, I'm afraid even the people and goods will be buried in those dangerous places.  " Moreover, there are many countries on the land route and wars are frequent. The goods may be snatched away halfway. If you are more ruthless, you may even lose your life.  If it is sea transportation, although it will encounter various crises, but in terms of cargo capacity, it far exceeds that of land transportation.  For example, a medium-sized clipper ship can carry 500 tons of cargo and only requires dozens of people to operate it.  This is equivalent to an average of nearly tens of thousands of kilograms of cargo per person. Based on the speed of sailing ships at the end of the 18th century, it would only take less than two months to set off from Quanzhou and reach the southern end of the Suez Canal in Egypt, North Africa.  Even if you go around Africa and reach the Mediterranean, it will only take more than half a year at most. From this point of view, not only the time is shortened by nearly half, but the amount of cargo carried is huge, which is definitely not comparable to human or animal power.  The heyday of maritime trade in the 18th century will come more than 1,200 years earlier, and the era of great navigation will also come nearly a thousand years earlier.  I have this confidence, because I am here, so everything will be different.  Sitting in the elegant room of this restaurant, eating side dishes, sipping wine, playing small talk, and hooking up with a girl. Of course, this girl is my future wife, so it is natural for me to hook up with her.  While admiring the bustling glass shop.  More than an hour has passed, but now, the store is still crowded inside and outside. Although it is not as exaggerated as before, it still takes a lot of effort to get in and out.  And many vendors who bought glass products, one by two, hugged them tightly in their arms as if they had obtained priceless treasures, and relied on their assistants to stop those who wanted to come over to take a closer look.  Shi Feng¡¯s high-pitched and loud voice, like that of Zhang Yusheng, still passes through the window and penetrates into our ears from time to time.  Although the auction price shouted out cannot scare the hearts of those of us who have experienced strong winds and waves, it is still secretly shocking.  In just one hour since we arrived here, we have already bid for 37 items. The lowest price is 800 guan, and the highest price is 3,500 guan. On average, the price of each item is 1,000 guan.  Around three hundred guan, that is to say, in one hour, this shop sold goods with a total value of more than 48,000 guan.  Taking into account the cost, the cost of each product plus labor, shipping and other miscellaneous expenses will definitely not exceed two thousand yuan. And this shop was bought directly by me, and the money spent was only fifty thousand.  Duo Guan, from this point of view, it is more than enough to make money from the shop on the first day.  When the sun set and the moon began to rise, the shop finally closed its door. In a short time, Shi Feng, who had a face as tender as a young boy, appeared in the private room on the second floor of the restaurant.  "I've met the young master, I've met the third lady, I've met the two young masters Li." As soon as Shi Feng entered the door, he saw a few of us drinking and talking nonsense, so he quickly stepped forward to bow and salute. Well, it was indeed very impressive.  Someone who knows how to read trends.  I am his master, and the future mistress of Sanniangzi. As for Li Er and Li San, in the future they will at most be the youngest brother, that is, the brother-in-law, so if they are called according to this position, not to mention that I am very satisfied, even if  She was a girl from Yaoguang, and she couldn't help but have a blush on her pretty face. She glanced at me quietly and then looked away.  "Get up, it won't take long. By the way, Shi Feng, I've been here for almost two hours. How is the business?" I asked with a smile and a sip of wine.
