Chapter 384 Xin Kuan: Blue smoke comes from the ancestral grave


    "Is your news accurate?"


    When Xin Kuan and Xin An were talking alone, Xin An told her his thoughts, that is, the Xin family should further increase their energy and financial resources on the matter of sugar.


    "I have been thinking about this since the Xu family wanted to buy candy. I have asked many people privately and found out the source and price of these sugars in Beijing. In addition, the Liao family also wanted to buy candy, so I was truly sure that sugar is not inferior to salt."


    "The price of sugar is much higher than salt, and my father has opened up the supply and delivery routes. If the court can see the value, the Xin family can go to another level."


    In her memory, after the imperial court opened a shipping service a few years later, sugar would become an equally important goods as tea, porcelain, brocade, and the Xin family was already ahead of others.


    Xin Kuan was naturally moved. Being a salt merchant can make money. At the critical moment, when the court issued them a plaque, a stele, and a biography, they would willingly become the imperial court''s money bag. It is beneficial, but limited.


    At this moment, he saw the greater value of sugar.


    "The emperor really nourishes people. Your vision is very different from when you were in Huaijiang. I feel relieved to hand over the Xin family to you siblings."


    Xin An smiled. She had no vision. So far, she had just moved her eyes from the backyard to the outside. There were many places to learn.


    With Xin Kuan personally granting Xin''an the rights, it provided many conveniences for Xin''an to expand his business in the capital in the future. Thinking that as the news came out, those who wanted to get benefits from the Xin family would start from Xin''an, which also provided assistance to Tang Mo making friends outside.


    "The young lady is always considering the second son, and I hope the second son can always remember the young lady''s goodness."


    Chunyang Chunlu two big girls know that Xin''an is so busy with Tang Mo, and sometimes he is not worth it for the young lady. The young lady''s ability is more than that of the second young master, but she has nowhere to display it.


    Xin''an is tilted on the soft pillow, "Don''t be a woman in your life, and the joys and sorrows of a hundred years are caused by others. Compared with many people, my current life is beyond the reach of many people."


    There are so many talented women in the world. They are also famous for their outstanding talents, but most of them end up in the backyard and disappear. Even if they fight to the end, they will most likely not have a good ending.


    Their world is like this. No matter how smart and capable a woman is, she will always be trapped in the backyard and watch the sky. She will be around her children all her life. Few people can live for themselves.


    "Don''t even think so much, at least my efforts will be rewarded."


    You should not think about some things too much, as thinking too much means you will be asking for trouble.


    Xin Kuan, who had just woken up the next day, met the **** from the palace, and then followed him into the palace with fear and fear. As soon as he entered the magnificent palace of the palace gate, he made him surrender from his heart and could not have any unfair intentions.


    When he arrived in front of the emperor, he even knelt down and did not dare to look up. The emperor said, "Get up and talk."


    "Thank you, Your Majesty."


    I stood up in fear and fear. If I hadn''t seen several officials recently and had drunk with General Xu, I would have been trembling with my legs at this moment.


    The emperor raised his eyes, "Tell me about the situation of the salt merchants in Huaijiang." Xin Kuan bowed and answered, "When you go back to the emperor, there are nine salt merchants in Huaijiang, namely the Yao family in Longdexing, Yang family in Tianchengde, Huang family in Zhengxing, Zhang family in Yunchang, Han family in Desheng, Liu family in Jinsheng, Wu family in Changping, Wei family in Jichang, and Xin family in Hengtai where Caomin is located."


    "The Salt Industry Chamber of Commerce is headed by the Yao family, and mainly operates two types: Huai Salt and Northwest Salt, among which."


    Xin''s family has been in Huaijiang for many years, so he naturally knows the local salt merchants very well. They are all old rivals. Who can hide the **** of anyone?


    The emperor asked a key question, "How much money can salt merchants earn in the Salt Chamber of Commerce in Huaijiang?"


    Xin Kuan bowed, "This is closely related to the amount of capital. Thanks to the emperor''s wisdom and martial arts, the world has been peaceful for many years, and merchants have more spare money. The more profit is seven or eight million taels per year, and the less profit is hundreds of thousands taels. Last year, the average profit of the salt merchants in Huaijiang was 1.5 million taels."


    I knew that the salt merchants were rich, but I didn’t expect that the salt merchants were so rich. Even the emperor took a breath in his heart. The wealth of the salt merchants made him jealous.


    But he also knew that those salt merchants were the imperial court''s money bags, and he would not touch those people easily. He only thought that it would be very easy for Tang Gang to raise one million taels this time.


    Maybe two million taels are not difficult, but unfortunately the price increase is not appropriate now. I hope Tang Gang can bring more errands back.


    "How is your sugar trading now?"


    It was obvious that the pleasure and relaxation in the emperor''s words were heard, and Xin Kuan smiled, "It was originally a small fight, but after getting General Xu Da, the big customer, he got better."


    The emperor laughed and liked such open-minded businessman, "General Xu wants a lot of money, don''t cut off his goods."


    "Where did you get the candy?"


    Xin Kuan said that he came from the southwest, "There are waters everywhere, there are many sandy areas, the sugar cane is of good quality, and the sugar production is also high."


    I remembered what Xin An said to him, saying that if a large amount of sugar cane is planted, more sugar can be produced. If the court can help find sales, sugar may become a big deal as important as salt.


    "The people cannot lack salt, but in fact they cannot lack sugar. They feel uncomfortable and have no strength. A bowl of sugar water will soon be energetic. Many years ago, the old marquis of the Marquis of Weiyuan''s mansion told Cao Min that if the soldiers on the battlefield eat sugar, they will be more powerful and more effective than rice and flour."


    "There are many blonde and blue-eyed overseas barbarians in Huaijiang. They love sugar very much and will take as many as possible when they leave. For this reason, they will leave a lot of treasures for exchange. If we have enough sugar, we can send them overseas through a big ship to exchange for more good things with those barbarians to strengthen our court."


    After saying that, he knelt down again in fear and fear, "The people of the grass are talking too much, please forgive me."


    The emperor was interested in what he said. At the end of last year, the queen had a huge bead on her head, saying that it was presented by the second young lady of the Marquis of Weiyuan''s mansion and came from overseas barbarians.


    "Do those overseas barbarians really have so many good things?"


    Xin Kuan nodded, he knew this, "According to those barbarians, there are many mines in their country, silver or gold ore, and gems are many. When they came, they mostly traded gold and gems. The gems were of different colors and excellent quality, but they did not polish and inlay technology, so they could only tie them to accessories randomly."


    The emperor was even more moved and asked in detail whether Tangrong was easy, how to get it, and how much money was. Seeing that Xin Kuan was still kneeling, he called him to get up. At this moment, it was time to have lunch again. The emperor wanted to ask about Tang, so he gave Xin Kuan a meal.


    Two feet away from the emperor, Xin Kuan''s hands were shaking with chopsticks. Yesterday, I was so envious that his daughter had dinner with the emperor. It was his turn today. Isn''t he bragging hard after he got back?


    I don’t know if there is any smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb at this moment? !
