Han Wenjing held the account book of the hot pot factory in one hand, and counted the abacus quickly with the other hand. The curve of his mouth became deeper and deeper. This was not a hot pot factory at all, it was a hen that laid golden eggs.
During the opening period, the Flying Tiger Battalion of the Xing Family Army earned tens of thousands of taels of silver. If this money was used to buy food, it would be enough to feed countless soldiers.
These are just the first batch, and huge amounts of silver will continue to flow in. It's also my fault that I haven't seen so much silver since I joined the Xing Family Army. Now when I saw it for the first time, I thought that all the silver in the court had flown to Huangmo Pass.
Xu Shaoxuan and Lin Pingyu couldn't help but sigh to the sky, as they could finally receive their salaries.
Previously, the Xing family army was very poor, so their salaries were sometimes available and sometimes not. Unless their families were really poor and could not afford to eat, they would bite the bullet and borrow some from Han Wenjing. At other times, they would save as much as possible and try not to cause trouble for the major general.
Now I get half a year's salary at a time. I have never seen so much money in my life!
Han Wenjing patted Lin Rui's shoulder, his eyes red with excitement: "Master Lin, I was not wrong about you. You are indeed a person of great talent."
Lin Rui waved his hand, looking modest: "That's not what I'm talking about. I'm only good at some business matters that are not worthy of being mentioned on the stage."
"That's wrong. When I was studying, I always talked about scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. Now I find that the wealth of a place is closely related to the commerce. Huangmo Pass was so poor in the past. It was a place where exiled criminals often came. If it weren't for the invasion of foreign races and the separatist rule of princes, the people would not run in this direction even if they were whipped." Han Wenjing couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Pingyu nodded in agreement. "Master Han is absolutely right. The prosperity of Huangmo Pass is now visible to the naked eye. Walking from home today, I saw several newly built inns along the way, and local people were happily renovating their houses to rent out to merchants."
Xing Lie was happy after hearing this. Yes, this was the kind of rule he wanted, not a stagnant pool.
He thought that such a process would take a long time to build up bit by bit, but he did not expect that his subordinate Lord Lin, who had just taken office, would be able to completely revitalize Huangmo Pass.
Chen Zhidong smiled and said, "I don't know how angry Fang Pingshan is right now!"
Xing Feiyan walked to her husband's study with a big belly, and heard the crisp sound of teacups breaking inside and Fang Pingshan shouting "Get out!"
Then the servant came out in a panic. She came to the door of the study. Fang Pingshan thought the servant had come back again, so he grabbed the inkstone and was about to smash it over. But when he saw that it was the pregnant Xing Feiyan, he quickly stepped on the desk and stretched out his arm to grab the inkstone that was about to hit Xing Feiyan's face.
Xing Feiyan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She subconsciously covered her stomach with her hands. Fang Pingshan immediately dropped the inkstone and hurried to support his wife. "Feiyan, are you okay? Are you okay? Are you scared?"
Xing Feiyan just shook her head, still looking terrified. Fang Pingshan carefully helped her to a chair and said, "Hurry up and sit down and rest!"
He turned around and poured her a glass of water to calm her down, then gently patted her back to help her breathe.
It took Xing Feiyan a long time to calm down. She grabbed her husband's hand and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry today?"
Fang Pingshan smiled and said, "It's okay. My subordinates are disobedient and keep making mistakes. I'm just annoyed."
Xing Feiyan said, "Impossible. Everyone knows that your commander is the most patient and generous towards his subordinates. Pingshan, we are husband and wife. What can't be said between husband and wife? Tell me, what if I can relieve your worries?"
Fang Pingshan held Xing Feiyan in his arms: "What nonsense are you talking about? You've done enough for me. You even had a conflict with Xing Lie. I don't want you to sacrifice anything for me anymore. I'm a man. I can hold up the sky even if it falls. If you can't even protect your parents, wife and children, what kind of man are you!"
Xing Feiyan was moved and worried after hearing this: "You are always so stubborn and never complain when you are wronged. How can I not feel bad for you!"
Fang Pingshan forced a forced smile. "What nonsense! Why should I make you feel bad when I'm fine? You're the one I care about. Pregnancy and childbirth are like going through hell for a woman. Feiyan, I'm so grateful that you're willing to bear a child for me."
Xing Feiyan patted him, her heart filled with emotion and love. Meeting Pingshan in this life was her greatest blessing.
When she woke up from her nap, she realized that the man next to her was still sleeping. She got up carefully and walked to the outer room. When the maid was about to speak, Xing Feiyan made a gesture to keep quiet.
The little maid nodded in understanding, and immediately came in quietly and helped Xing Feiyan out.
At this time, Fang Pingshan, who was sleeping in bed, opened his eyes, and a strange smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He had no way to match Xing Lie in terms of martial arts, strength, ability or status, but he married a good wife. If he wanted something from the Xing family, as long as he pretended to be pitiful, his wife would find a way to give it to him, just like in Baituo Town.
So what if there is one more hot pot factory now!
God knows how envious and jealous he was when Huang Moguan Hot Pot Factory was rising strongly and making a fortune. It was obvious that Xing Lie had spent two or three years to build Baituo Town, but how come he opened another factory comparable to Baituo Town within a month?
Nowadays, those businessmen only regard Baituo Town as a temporary stopover, and their final destination is the hot pot factory in Huangmoguan. Although the commercial tax in Baituo Town has increased slightly, it is completely insignificant compared with the hot pot factory in Huangmoguan.
Baituo Town is just a developing town after all, and most of the merchants are running small businesses. In order to ensure long-term peace and stability in the area near Huangmoguan, Xing Jiajun has stipulated a reasonable way of collecting commercial taxes, and only a small part of it will eventually fall into his pocket.
Why does Xing Lie always have such good luck!
Lin Rui and Xing Lie, these two people are really haunting us!
Xing Feiyan walked into the front hall at this time, and Fang Chenggen and his wife were talking about something with sad faces.
As soon as Xing Feiyan entered, Fang Chenggen pulled his wife's sleeve and motioned her to look back.
Xing Feiyan's mother-in-law immediately fell silent, forcing a smile on her face: "Feiyan is here, come and sit down. You are a double body, you should take good care of your health and don't overwork yourself."
Xing Feiyan shook her head: "Mom, it's just a few steps away."
"Dad, Mom, I've noticed Pingshan hasn't been in a good mood these days, and he refuses to tell the truth when I ask him. What happened?"
Fang Chenggen waved his hands, feeling proud in his heart, look, the fish is hooked!
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Since Pingshan said it's okay, then it must be okay. Don't overthink it!"
