    In the study room of Liu Jin's house in the capital.

    Prince Zhu Houzhao was sitting on the chair, with his legs crossed and a carefree look. If he hadn't known his identity, no one would have thought that he was the current Crown Prince.

    "Old Liu, you really have it. I have always thought that the Changlu Salt Farm might be losing money, but I didn't expect it to be able to make money. If this trend continues, I will almost be able to recover my investment next year."

    After Zhu Houzhao listened to Li Jiye¡¯s production and sales report on Changlu Salt Farm, he couldn¡¯t help but give Liu Jin a thumbs up.

    The investment in the Changlu Saltworks is huge, and it requires a tax of two million taels of silver to the court every year. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to make a profit.

    But Liu Jin did it. Relying on the power of the sun salt method and some simple chemical knowledge, the salt production of Changlu Salt Field surpassed the salt boiling method of this era, and the quality was even better.

    "You will know when the weather gets warmer after next spring. For now, just barely maintain your expenses."

    Liu Jin smiled, looking confident, and then waved to Li Jiye, who immediately left Liu Jin's study in a sensible manner.

    "Your Highness, you've come just in time. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it's time for year-end liquidation. Here is the account book. Take a look."

    Liu Jin took out an account book and handed it to Zhu Houzhao. The two of them did a lot of business together.

    The glass factory in Beijing, the cement factory in Tianjin, Tianjin Port, Tianjin Real Estate, Tianjin Shipyard, Tianjin Soap Factory, and Tianjin Garment Factory are all joint ventures between Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao, and there is no business owned by other shareholders.  .

    In addition, there are Miyun Iron Works and Changlu Saltworks, which are joint ventures.

    "Hey, it's harvest time again. I like looking at the account books the most."

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his little eyes immediately narrowed. He quickly sat up straight, picked up the account book and read it carefully.

    In fact, Zhu Houzhao naturally knows a lot about the income from many industries under his command, because there are people in his Prince's Mansion who are involved in many industries. He can receive relevant reports every month, and he is very clear about the income from many industries under his command.  Condition.

    The most profitable thing is naturally the glass factory. Glass, which is worthless at all, after a wave of operations by Liu Jin, has now become a sought-after item in the middle and upper class of the Ming Dynasty, especially mirrors. If a wealthy family marries their daughter without one,  If you don't have a mirror, you won't be able to see anyone at all.

    Coupled with many other glass products, etc., the ancient and modern buildings in the capital can be said to be making money every day. In addition, with the development of sea trade, the glass industry has also begun to sell well to North Korea and Japan, opening up overseas markets.  .

    After all, the glass factory alone made a profit of more than 20 million taels of silver in a year. Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin had a 50-50 split, so each of them could get tens of millions of taels of silver.

    ¡°Not bad, not bad~¡±

    Seeing the account books of the glass factory, Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile on his face.

    He is now truly as rich as the country, richer than his father, Emperor Hongzhi. Just one glass factory can receive dividends of tens of millions of taels of silver every year, which is simply unbelievable.

    You must know that the imperial court¡¯s annual tax revenue is less than three million taels.

    But the data cannot be biased, nor can the money brought into the prince's palace every month. It can only show that the Ming Dynasty is indeed rich, but the money is buried in the cellar, which also shows that the Ming court is really poor.

    In addition to the glass factory, the next ones are Tianjin Shipyard, Tianjin Port and Tianjin Real Estate. Investments in Tianjin at the beginning of the year have also begun to have a bumper harvest. Of course, it is still much worse than the glass factory, but these are long-term transactions. The glass factory  The business is only good in the first few years. After others develop the research on glass, it will decline sharply until it becomes useless.

    Tianjin Shipyard¡¯s annual revenue exceeds five million taels of silver, but the shipyard¡¯s expenses are very large. The shipyard¡¯s masters, shipbuilding costs, etc., make the profit only three million taels of silver.

    Of course, the shipyard did not make any efforts in the first half of the year. The real effort came in the second half of the year. The shipyard's operations became more and more mature, its technology became more and more mature, and the speed of shipbuilding began to soar.

    Therefore, it can be estimated that the revenue of the shipyard next year will exceed 10 million taels of silver, and the shipyard will continue to expand its scale next year, because the current orders are too many, too many, and the current production capacity of the shipyard can no longer meet the market.  Needed.

    The annual revenue of Tianjin Port is more than one million taels of silver. Compared with the previous ones, it is simply??It's interesting, but the growth of Tianjin Port is very rapid, because there are more and more ships, not only fishing boats and sea-going ships, but also cargo ships coming from the south will choose to berth at Tianjin Port.

    Tianjin Port makes a lot of money by collecting berthing fees and service fees.

    The revenue of Tianjin Cement Factory is more than 2 million taels, but the profit margin is relatively low because the competition in cement is fierce. There are now hundreds of large and small cement factories in the market. Although the market demand is huge, it is inevitable that  There will be competition, so comparing the profit margin, the annual profit is only 800,000 taels of silver.

    Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao seemed a little bored. There was no business excitement in the glass factory, but he also knew that these businesses and transactions were normal transactions. Anything that was too profitable would definitely attract more people to enter, and then  Let the profits of this industry become normal.

    In fact, after all calculations, the profits from these transactions are still quite good, and they are growing extremely rapidly and developing rapidly. They are all hens that lay golden eggs and have great potential in the future.

    "Haha, Tianjin real estate is good, not bad~"

    Soon, when Zhu Houzhao saw the account books of Tianjin Real Estate, he couldn't help but smile and narrowed his eyes.

    Tianjin Real Estate's main business is real estate. At first, a Moon Bay community was sold for more than 700,000 taels of silver. Next, Tianjin Real Estate also launched several real estate projects one after another, with the annual turnover exceeding 4 million taels.  Silver, and the profit from it was astonishing, exceeding three million taels.

    The main reason for this is that a large amount of cement is used to build houses, which is very fast and efficient. Of course, the more important reason is that Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao obtained land very cheaply in Tianjin.

    When he went to Tianjin, he brought millions of taels of silver with him. Liu Jin bought a large amount of land, and most of the money was spent on buying land.

    At that time, people in Tianjin thought Liu Jin was a fool. What was the use of the land near the sea?

    The land that cannot be used for farming is all wasteland and useless land, so at that time Liu Jin almost swept away the land in the coastal areas of Tianjin at extremely cheap prices.

    Now, with the rapid development of Tianjin's ports, shipyards, cement plants, etc., these areas have begun to increase in value rapidly. Liu Jin can make a lot of money by setting up a real estate business and building some houses.

    And now there are some people with vision who want to buy land from Liu Jin, but how can Liu Jin easily sell the land in his hands and keep it to slowly engage in real estate?

    "Your Highness, do you now know why you want to buy large-scale land in the capital?"

    Liu Jin smiled and said.

    "I know, I know~ When will we build several Liangwan communities here in Beijing?"

    "When the time comes, if a house does not sell for several thousand taels of silver, my surname will not be Zhu~"

    Zhu Houzhao squinted his little eyes and nodded frequently like a chicken eating rice. When he thought about engaging in real estate here in the capital, he immediately became energetic.

    "Ahem~"

    When Liu Jin heard this, he laughed so hard that he couldn't help coughing. Sure enough, wealth and silk are so touching. You are also the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty after all. Can you pay attention to how you eat?

    "Hehe~ I've finished reading the account books. That's it, Old Liu. I still have several million taels of silver in my hand. Do you think there are any other projects to make a fortune?"

    "This money has no use at all if it is left in the warehouse. It is better to invest it. Silver will generate money."

    Zhu Houzhao smiled, put down the account book, rolled his eyes, and asked with a smile.

    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it after the Chinese New Year, I still have to prepare for the Spring Festival~¡±

    Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

    "Yes, spring will come soon after the Chinese New Year, but it shouldn't be too difficult for you, Lao Liu, right?"

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he thought about it and nodded.

    "In my opinion, Lao Liu, you don't need to take the imperial examination. Your ability should be to make money. Just make money for me. When I become the emperor, I will directly give you the position of chief minister of the cabinet."

    ""

    Liu Jin was speechless. He didn¡¯t know if Emperor Hongzhi would be pissed to death after hearing this.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
