"You can set up a chamber of commerce, and you all work together. For this one million tael, I only need 600,000 taels for you. The remaining 400,000 taels are considered to be the investment in the chamber of commerce. Of course, the chamber of commerce will make a profit, and I will also take a commission." Zhao Xu's expression was serious.

Now everyone understood that the King of Yan meant that the remaining 600,000 taels were gathered together.

The profit will be distributed in the future according to the proportion of the money spent, so they will bear less risks.

"I'm willing to pay 20,000 taels."

"My family pays five thousand taels."

“…”

The wealthy families shouted, "Is it a fool to not participate in this business with low risks and high profits?"

Zhao Xu nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

His plan was successful.

In fact, one million taels was a high price he deliberately called, and his original intention was only 600,000 taels.

The extra 400,000 taels are just to take the commission from the Chamber of Commerce as a false price.

Now, it means that he earned 600,000 taels after only one technology, and there will be dividends in the future.

However, the ice-making technique is so profitable that he does not monopolize it, but he is helpless to share the profits with the rich.

After all, ice making is very simple.

If the Yan Prince Mansion runs itself and does not have the start-up capital, it will have no power in Jiangnan and its technology will easily be stolen or robbed.

In the end, you may not be able to make money and you have to discount your money.

But it would be different to use this to fool the rich people of Yan County on board the boat.

After taking the money from the rich, he will make sure to make a profit, which is the same as contemporary financing.

Moreover, in order to make money, the Yanjun nobles will also put in a lot of energy to ensure that the technology will not leak, and ensure that his subsequent profits may be possible.

Of course, he didn't speak loudly, and asked the rich to pay too much money.

It’s not that he is kind-hearted, but that he wants too much, which makes them take risks and use tricks to obtain ice-making methods.

If the money is not distributed much, they don’t need to take this risk.

evening.

There is a setting sun hanging on the willow branches, indicating that it is going to be late.

However, at this time, the Yan Prince's Mansion became even more lively.

The wealthy family who decided to invest was afraid that they would not be able to join the chamber of commerce.

I immediately asked the slaves to go back to carry the money, get land deeds, carry cloth, grain and other items.

The front yard of the royal palace is unprecedentedly busy.

"You have to remember the account, don't make any mistakes."

Liu Fu moved a rattan chair and asked Zhao Xu to sit leisurely.

Many children of wealthy families surrounded Qin's account room and asked him to register his investment amount.

Qin's accountant wiped his sweat and nodded frequently, "Don't worry, your highness, the young man will definitely redeem his sins and will not make any mistakes."

Zhao Xu nodded and said to the famous servant in front of him, "Look carefully, this is all money, so you can't be wrong."

The servants sent by the wealthy family were also staring at the numbers on the weight.

It is said that next to it are boxes of silver.

A large amount of cash is not easy for the rich to take out.

After all, in ancient times, silver was a tight hard currency.

Therefore, Zhao Xu's principle is that money is the first, land is the second, and other third.

So the wealthy families raised 200,000 taels of cash silver, and the rest took the land, grain and other goods to get it.

The statistics were over until the sky was dull.

Qin's account room gave the account book to Zhao Xu.

"Your Highness, now the warehouse has invested 200,000 taels of cash in cash, and another 60,000 mu of land and 50,000 stones of grain..."

Zhao Xu nodded while listening.

At present, Dasong's land is about five taels of silver per acre, which is still relatively expensive.

"Your Highness, since you have collected the money, can you teach us the ice-making technique?"

The heads of the thirty-eight wealthy families in Yan County are all there, and they are still waiting.

"Of course." Zhao Xu asked everyone to enter the house and demonstrated the ice-making process in front of everyone.

The heads of the wealthy family were stunned in surprise.

It turns out that the mysterious and mysterious ice making technique is so simple.

"This is too simple." Zhang Qian's face immediately became cold. He felt tricked, "Your Highness is selling this technique too expensive."

"Hey, Mr. Zhang is wrong. Although this technique is simple, how can you know if Your Highness doesn't show it?" Dong Yuan spread his hands.

"You..." Zhang Qian was speechless when asked, and had to glar at Dong Yuan.

This old boy is now clearly trying to hold the King of Yan's thighs.

Zhao Xu gave Dong Yuan an admiring look.

Liu Fu told him that at the beginning, the Dong family, the Lu family and the Yang family both sent their eldest sons.

This shows that these three families have not been as bad as the Zhang family, Huang family and Du family, and can be won over.

He smiled, "It is precisely because of the simple technology that we can make a fortune. Now that I have handed over the technology, you must keep it strictly confidential, otherwise the Chamber of Commerce will lose money and I will not be responsible."

Everyone had nothing to say, but the words of King Yan made sense, because they could make a lot of profits because they were simple.

However, thinking that if the technology is leaked, they will make less money. Someone immediately shouted: "If anyone leaks the ice making technique, he will be the enemy of my thirty-eight families. I will never stop with him in the future."

Zhang Qian's face looked ugly. He had just had the idea of ​​selling this technique to others, so that he could make his own money back and maybe he could make a lot of money.

Zhao Xu was so excited that the crowd immediately gave up this idea, otherwise he would have been known to other families.

His Zhang family became public enemy in Yan County.

"Okay, since that's the case, we'll swear that if anyone leaks the ice-making technique from the Chamber of Commerce, it's impossible to die if he hits lightning." Dong Yuan turned around and said to everyone.

Everyone agreed and swore in front of everyone.

Although Zhang Qian was not happy, he had no choice but to swear.

Zhao Xu followed the swearing that he made a net profit, and it would be a good thing to keep the technology confidential.

After the upset was dark, Yang Cheng, the head of the Yang family, said: "Your Highness, we will hold a banquet tonight. Can Your Highness come to enjoy the glory?"

"I'm really sorry. I'm just cured of a serious illness and feel a little uncomfortable. It's not advisable to drink alcohol. In a few days, a few days." Zhao Xu shirked.

He still has a lot to deal with.

"Since that's the case, then another day." The rich people were not angry, and Zhao Xu's reasons were flawless.

They saluted one after another, and the wealthy families gradually left.

Zhao Xu handed over all the matters of the Chamber of Commerce to them.

They need to discuss sending those people to the south and how to transport raw materials confidentially.

When everyone left, Zhao Xu took Liu Fu into the warehouse of the Wangfu Intermediate Courtyard.

At this time, there were rows of boxes inside, all of which were white silver.

In addition to the silver, there are also sacks of food, and exquisite cloth and other items in the corner.

"Go and call Chang Wei here." Zhao Xu said.

With so much wealth piled up in the palace, it was like a child taking gold across the downtown area, and it was impossible for no one to covet it.

These wealthy families are all black and white.

Therefore, to preserve this wealth at the moment, we can only rely on Chang Wei.

Liu Fu went out.

Soon, Chang Wei arrived outside the warehouse.

Zhao Xu ordered his servants to move out a small box of silver and asked, "How much money does the royal family owe you in total?"

"The imperial guards' salary is three taels per month, one hundred people, and a total of nine hundred taels per month." Chang Weiwang's eyes at Zhao Xu were relieved a little.

The King of Yan said that he would pay them three days, but now he has not used even one day.

"There is a thousand taels of silver in this box, you can take it all." Zhao Xu handed the box to Chang Wei.

"Nine hundred taels, that's nine hundred taels. The royal palace cannot owe wages, and the last general will not get an extra cent." Chang Wei said with his neck twitching.

"What a stubborn mind. Your Highness gave it to you, just take it." Liu Fu stood aside and joked, but in the end he got Chang Wei's glaring.
