Chapter 2316: Chapter 2313: Making a Fortune During the New Year

Roughly having a grasp in her heart, the distant manors collect once a year.

The nearby ones collect every six months.

The stores in the capital collect silver every three months.

Previously, in order to promote the bookstore’s business, she almost spent all the family’s silver.

If it weren’t for the fifty thousand taels sent by the Qi family later on, the cash flow would really not have been enough.

Excluding the spent amount, the total profit from various rents this year is over a hundred thousand taels.

It’s not a lot, but not too little either.

After all, the businesses under her name have at least a twenty percent return rate.

Now, she indeed needs a considerable amount of preparation funds.

"Taking advantage of the year’s end, plant more fresh vegetables in the greenhouse, following the list; the more precious, the better." This year, besides the envoys from smaller nations coming to the capital for court celebration, there are probably many merchants coming to the capital to gather information. The former, interacting with the capital’s high officials and nobles, need entertaining. With these nobles’ love for face, they’ll surely impress them with food, clothing, housing, and travel, and discuss business with them along the way.

After all, the emergence of the Department of Commerce and Construction indicates the big trend in business development in the future, and anyone a bit clever will want to seize some benefits.

Although their own residence also has a greenhouse.

Initially, it was learned from the Chu family, and Ye Muyu received quite a few gifts for it.

Things like gold, silver, jewels, ancient paintings, coral, and fine wood enriched the Chu family’s assets.

Although Ye Muyu always prioritizes practicality in these items, the necessary front must still be maintained.

With Chu Heng’s official position, it’s not some unprofitable idle position, being low-key and overly simple isn’t the same thing.

Speaking of which.

Ye Muyu’s idea is that the vegetables from her own greenhouse are of the finest varieties and quality, aiming to earn a great deal within the year.

A few Stewards hesitated for a moment, but still asked why.

Ye Muyu didn’t hide it and directly spoke about the business.

After reading the grain names in the booklet, they suddenly understood.

"Lady, this thought is excellent; we’ll definitely work hard." A few Stewards were somewhat excited.

You see, their year-end silver rewards are linked to the annual profits.

The better the vegetables sell, the more money they themselves earn.

"Besides, potatoes can continue to be planted; build two more greenhouses, all for potatoes." Ye Muyu thought of the geographic locations of several small nations.

Now Great Chu’s potatoes have spread out, but other countries also lack them, and they could even be sold overseas. After all, they preserve well and taste good.

Just look at the small eateries specializing in potato products; their business is good all year round.

"Yes, Lady."

"As for the rest, just do as in previous years."

Ye Muyu didn’t say much more, just waved them off to collect their silver rewards from the accounts room.

Su Mei led a few people out.

Ye Muyu counted the banknotes and placed them in the box.

She was about to call for Tang Dongfeng.

Tang Dongfeng came to visit of his own accord.

"How come you have time to visit today?" Ye Muyu let the maidservants serve him a cup of hot tea.

Tang Dongfeng cheerfully thanked her, entered the room, sat for a while, and only after feeling warm did he remove his scarf and cloak.

"Lady, I’ve brought the dividend from the gambling den to you." Tang Dongfeng said joyfully.

Ye Muyu chuckled: "Looking at your expression, you must have earned quite a lot?"

"Of course, with the Lady leading, how can we not earn?"

Tang Dongfeng himself felt somewhat incredulous at this moment.
