"Yes...My lord, our surveying work has been fully launched."

"The people are very enthusiastic."

"They brought their families, young and old, and voluntarily came to the government office to hand over their grain."

"My lord, I will immediately gather provisions and transport them to Nanpi. We must not let the soldiers of Nanpi go hungry."

"I wonder if Li Cunxiao caught up with Chen Youliang."

"No, Chen Youliang's rebel army has been almost wiped out by Li Cunxiao, but Chen Youliang used a clever escape plan to deceive General Li Cunxiao."

Jiang Tian nodded: "Chen Youliang's bald head is more useful than others."

However, he's now reduced to a lone commander and can't amount to much anymore.

"Inform Han Xin to prepare a reward for all the meritorious soldiers in this battle."

"promise……"

Jiang Tian opened the system.

He noticed that the system character section was flashing continuously again.

Jiang Tian quickly swiped to the system character section.

This time, the flashing portraits didn't belong to any civil officials or military generals.

He was a businessman, not a businessman.

This merchant was Shen Wansan.

Legend has it that Shen Wansan possessed a treasure bowl.

Several gardens in Suzhou were part of Shen Wansan's estate.

When Emperor Hongwu (Zhu Yuanzhang) established Nanjing as his capital, the city walls of Nanjing were built with funds from Shen Wansan.

It is said that the treasure bowl of Shen Wansan's family is buried under the city wall of Nanjing.

Shen Wansan was the one who was truly richer than a country.

However, this guy got a bit cocky later on.

He shamelessly told Zhu Yuanzhang that he hoped to use money to help Zhu Yuanzhang pay for military expenses.

Zhu Yuanzhang was displeased upon hearing this.

You help me build city walls, I can tolerate it.

You want me to build the capital city? I can tolerate that.

You fucking want to help me support my army?

After that, will the army belong to you, Shen Wansan, or to us, Old Zhu?

Enraged, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the execution of Shen Wansan and his entire family.

With someone as capable of making money as Shen Wansan, we can entrust all business matters to him from now on.

Moreover, the amount of rage required to exchange for Shen Wansan is not much, only a mere 300,000.

Jiang Tian exchanged his money for Shen Wansan's without hesitation.

A golden light flashed.

To Jiang Tian's surprise, it was two days later that he finally saw Shen Wansan.

When Shen Wansan walked into the government office, he was dressed in fine silk.

“Shen Wansan greets my lord.”

Jiang Tian sized up Shen Wansan.

To be honest, this kid is actually quite handsome.

Although Shen Wansan was not born with a fat head and big ears, his face was full of noble air.

Some people have an appearance of wealth and nobility that can be seen at a glance.

Shen Wansan is just that kind of person.

"Shen Wansan, where have you been these past few days?"

"My lord, I've taken a serious stroll around the city these past few days." Shen Wansan pulled out a super VIP membership card from Hongxiuzhao from his sleeve.

"You just arrived in the city and you've already gone to a brothel?" Jiang Tian knew that Shen Wansan would never go to a brothel as soon as he arrived.

"No, my lord, you have misunderstood."

"I've discovered that Hongxiuzhao's business model is excellent; I really don't know which genius invented it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian chuckled and pointed to himself: "I invented it, what do you think?"

"Does my lord know how much the Red Sleeve Pavilion has been making these past few days?"

"It seems that the turnover on the first day has already exceeded 50 million taels of silver." Jiang Tian held up five fingers.

"In the past few days, many people have come here because of its reputation, and the turnover has exceeded 200 million taels of silver."

Silver was really worthless back then.

A mere brothel in Yecheng, and they've made so much money.

“My lord is the true business elite and the role model that I, Shen Wansan, should learn from.”

Jiang Tian waved his hand: "Alright, I don't want to hear your flattery."

The reason I've called you here is to ask you to help me develop the economy and make our business bigger and stronger.

"I have a lot of good things here."

"Go and coordinate with Xiao He today. I'll give Xiao He an order to allocate all the grain to you."

"All fruits and vegetables are available for your use."

"Besides that, there are all sorts of baijiu (Chinese liquor), anything you can imagine?"

After Jiang Tian finished speaking, he pointed to the Tianxia Tower.

That day, the building was more than ten stories high, making it the tallest building in the entire Yecheng.

The reason this grand restaurant is called Tianxialou is because it was opened by Ji Yanran's Tianxiahui (World of Heaven Society).

Ji Yanran's Tianxia Tower is said to have opened in all of the Great Xia.

"I hope you can build a vast business empire that is even more outstanding than the Tianxia Society."

"That's definitely a unicorn."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wansan nodded repeatedly.

"With the Lord's full support, please rest assured that I will be able to build a guild that is better than the World Guild within a year."

With outstanding business talents like Shen Wansan, logistics personnel like Xiao Ke, and command talents like Han Xin, we have a strong foundation.

Jiang Tian can basically win without lifting a finger now.

"Shen Wansan, what business do you plan to start with?"

“Furniture…” Shen Wansan said slowly and deliberately.

Jiang Tian was somewhat surprised when he heard this.

He hadn't expected that Shen Wansan would use furniture as his entry point.

Why?

"I went to Hongxiuzhao and many high-ranking officials and nobles lingered there."

I spent 40,000 taels of silver to get two cards and tried out the furniture inside, which I found to be very impressive.

I immediately sold one of the cards, and that one card sold for 100,000 taels of silver.
