Chapter 579: My husband, we are destined to be rich
Meng Pei's eyes flashed. He strode closer and whispered, "All those who followed you from the North City were captured. Except for the three who resisted fiercely and were executed on the spot, the rest were handed over to the people in the Northwest Camp."
"As for Yungui and the others..."
Meng Pei paused for a moment and said solemnly, "A group of traitors, led by Yun Gui, totaling twenty-three people, have all died."
After hearing this, Sang Zhixia paused for a moment without leaving a trace of breathing, then closed her eyes and said, "An Zhu, how about you?"
Shen Anzhu said slowly, "Regarding the various industries under your name, we started integrating them more than half a year ago, and they have now reached a certain scale."
"The previous arrangements were appropriate, so even if you are away from the Northwest for a long time, it will not have a significant impact on these industries."
The managers of each shop are carefully selected, and their ability and loyalty are beyond doubt.
Under the deliberate cover-up of Sang Zhixia and Shen Anzhu, most of these people did not know that their real master was Sang Zhixia, and the person standing in the open was Shen Anzhu.
Chen Anzhu smiled and said, "As for the three manors you just acquired, thanks to Zheng Erhu and his men, they are now able to use them. With the foundation they laid before, the change of ownership can now minimize the disturbance. At least on the surface, there is nothing unusual."
"I heard from Zheng Erhu and the others that the farmland and crops in those three farms are doing very well, and the harvest will be there in the autumn."
"The tea mountain has not been affected by this side at all. From now on, they will just say that the owner has changed. If the owner doesn't want to publicize it, they can cover it up."
Sang Zhixia first integrated the scattered industries into a controllable line to facilitate management.
Then he would break the whole thing up into smaller pieces, distributing the huge family business under the names of different people, and never stand at the forefront of the trend.
The industries in the northwest, Shu, and Jiangnan where Lin Yun and Xue Liu were located were all half-demolished and half-hidden by Sang Zhixia using the same method.
Therefore, Sang Zhixia's apparent industries are limited now, and no one can find out how much she controls, nor can anyone guess the exact amount of assets she has accumulated.
This is exactly the effect that Sang Zhixia wants.
Sang Zhixia exhaled slowly and said, "A tall tree attracts the wind. If you don't want to be blown down by the wind, the best way is to make people confused about your true identity."
"After we leave, there's no need to expand the industry in the northwest. Just maintain the status quo. As for the income from the three farms..."
"I divide two parts of my annual income into four portions and send them to the several masters in the Northwest Camp and the three northwestern cities. This will be considered as my small gift."
"in addition……"
Sang Zhixia looked at Chen Anzhu with a hint of apology, and said helplessly: "After we leave, all matters in the northwest will be left to you."
"I told you before that you could come and enjoy some leisure time, but I broke my promise."
People like Zheng Erhu and Su Wensheng are useful and loyal, but their abilities are still inferior to Shen Anzhu. They are good at being soldiers who obey orders, but they are not decisive enough when it comes to making big decisions.
The overall situation depends on Chen Anzhu, and Chen Anzhu will never have a moment of rest from now on.
Sang Zhixia felt a little sorry, but Shen Anzhu was enjoying it: "I wasn't born to have a life of leisure. If the boss really let me have some free time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to enjoy the freedom I have now."
"If you trust me, I will do my best."
Shen Anzhu stayed, and Meng Pei also stayed.
Sang Zhixia didn't know what mission Xu Yu had given Meng Pei, and he didn't want to ask. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "If anything goes wrong in the northwest, remember to protect yourself first."
"Everything is false and illusory. As long as you are alive, you can still have a long way to go."
Chen Anzhu and Meng Pei murmured in agreement. Seeing that Sang Zhixia had nothing more to say, Chen Anzhu smiled and said, "The old village chief and his friends asked me a few days ago when you were planning to leave the northwest. It seems they wanted to see you off. Would you mind telling me?"
"Need not."
Sang Zhixia held up her forehead and smiled bitterly: "I don't intend to make this public, so why make such a fuss?"
"After we leave, if there's any life or death or good news in the village, you should send a gift in my name and Xu Yu's name. If you encounter any problem and can help, don't hesitate to help."
"And there's the village school."
Sang Zhixia said solemnly, "When I first built the school, I promised that I would take care of these children as long as they were enrolled. This promise will remain valid for a long time."
"From now on, you need to take care of the school. The money promised before should be paid in full. Just pay it out from the account book. You can make the rest of the decision."
Chen Anzhu nodded obediently, and Sang Zhixia mentioned whatever came to mind, and gave some details intermittently. By the time Chen Anzhu and Meng Pei were sent out, the sun had moved to the middle of the sky.
Sang Zhixia hadn't slept a wink all night. Now that she was no longer sleepy, she wasn't in a hurry to catch up on her sleep. Instead, she sat in the yard and looked through the account books that Chen Anzhu had sent her earlier.
As far as assets are concerned, Xu Yu actually doesn't know how much Sang Zhixia has. Xu Yu never asks about it and only knows to help when help is needed.
Within a few years of taking root in the northwest, Sang Zhixia's businesses blossomed everywhere, from women's makeup powder, rouge, soap flowers, to medicinal materials, grain, tea, cloth, and even restaurants, teahouses and distilleries throughout the north and south.
Just based on the daily income from various sources, the amount of money that flows through Sang Zhixia's hands is enough to ensure that his family will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
But even so, Sang Zhixia still felt it was not enough.
This time the family moved to Lingnan, a completely unfamiliar place to them.
Even with Xu Minghui paving the way, things probably wouldn't have been smooth sailing at the beginning.
What Xu Yu was going to do next was truly outrageous. In addition to his ambition, he also needed money to back it up.
The things that Jiang Yubai's people had sent to her before flashed through Sang Zhixia's mind. She stroked her fingertips and her thoughts spread to an unknown distance. She picked up the pen and wrote a few short lines on the paper.
Xu Minghui wrote to say that the farm in Lingnan is operating very smoothly and the crops are growing very well. Doesn't Lingnan have any other advantages besides food?
Lingnan has a humid climate and is warm all year round. With such unique geographical conditions, perhaps we can do something else?
Various medicinal plants in the northwest are restricted by the climate, their growth is average and their varieties are also limited.
But Lingnan has always been a paradise where all kinds of poisonous substances grow rampantly. Perhaps it would be feasible to replace poisonous herbs with non-toxic ones?
There is also the art of brewing.
The climate in the northwest is cold, which is not conducive to the fermentation of various yeast bacteria, but Lingnan is completely different.
If we try to improve and refine various brewing techniques after arriving in Lingnan, we can brew more than just wine.
soy sauce?
vinegar?
There are also various jade raw stones produced in Lingnan...
Maybe I should open a jewelry shop specializing in jade.
Sang Zhixia wrote down whatever she thought of, and before she knew it, the white paper on the table was covered with black ink. She was so focused that she didn't even notice when Xu Yu got up and walked behind her.
Xu Yu breathed softly and said nothing. Sang Zhixia smelled the fragrance approaching, paused and said with a smile: "Xu Yu, do you know? This soap flower has three times the amount of fragrance powder added. It's actually not suitable for you."
Xu Yu, who was full of tenderness, was stunned when he heard the voice, and his face was immediately full of disgust. He felt that the strong fragrance on his body was too annoying.
Sang Zhixia turned around and winked playfully, "Didn't I have someone make you something without the perfume powder? Why didn't you use that?"
Xu Yu's voice was as if someone was choking him and he said with a dull face, "When you're out and about, you just use whatever you can get."
"I'll pay attention next time."
Sang Zhixia forced herself to suppress her laughter. To avoid embarrassing Xu Yu, who was trying to hide his true intentions, she tactfully stopped talking about the topic. Instead, she pushed the scribbled paper toward Xu Yu and asked, "Take a look?"
Xu Yu picked up the paper and asked casually, "What is this?"
"It's our plan for survival after arriving in Lingnan."
Sang Zhixia snapped her fingers happily, leaned on the stone table and said with a smile: "I suddenly realized that the place we are going to may be a treasure cave even greater than the one in the northwest."
"Husband, we are destined to be rich..."
