Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 176 Harvest
Even though they didn’t expect to make money at all on the first day, everyone gave generously in the end. Although the civil servants in the first row were low-key, they would spend as much as 50 taels and 20 taels as little. They would not spend so much in any brothel. Because wherever they go, they add color to where they go.

But those honorable descendants paid generously one by one, and expressed their welcome to Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan to stay in Nanjing. Xu Qingjun directly discharged 1000 taels, and the remaining three honored descendants also gave 500 taels each, for a total of 600 taels. two.

The civil servants in the second row were given an average of ten taels, and the honorable ones were given a hundred taels, for a total of eight hundred and ten taels.

The low-level civil servants in the third row and the fourth row are five taels per person, and 250 taels for fifty people.

The total was nearly 4000 taels, which was much higher than Yang Chao expected.

The next day, wealthy businessmen began to participate, and sure enough, the income surged, and the income of this day was tens of thousands of taels.

On the third day, it exceeded 2 taels.

The fourth day was almost the same.

In the future, there will be less and less, but even so, there will still be an income of 1 taels on the tenth day.

This opening can be described as a lot of income.

Of course, Yang Chao still insisted on dividing the accounts. After removing the various expenses of the Jinchai Building, he distributed half of the income to the famous prostitutes who performed.

As a result, each of the four famous prostitutes got 5000 taels, which was much more than what they earned from acting in their own brothels.

Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan received 1 taels each.

Even the little girls who accompanied the stage, especially the two little girls who played the role of matchmaker and Zhang Sheng, got the most points. The two of them got 100 taels of silver. It was the first time in their lives that they had their own money. The two girls were happy I cried, and the other girls also got twelve taels each, and they all quietly saved it up, saying that they would redeem themselves in the future.

Leji girls like them, even if they redeem themselves, are still Leji, but they no longer belong to others. No one forces them to receive guests. They can be their own masters and find someone to marry, but the premise is that someone Willing to marry them, because the descendants of Le Ji women are also Le Ji, unless they can be exiled first, otherwise the descendants of eternal life will not be able to stand up.

Therefore, very few people are willing to marry them, unless those who can easily help them get out of their citizenship, or those who don't care about spending money to help them get out of their citizenship, are willing to take them as concubines.

It can be said that these happy women are the real untouchables, and the real untouchables are worse than military households.

After the accounts were divided, Jinchai Building also had nearly 4 taels of profit left, plus the previous profits, there was a balance of 5 taels in the account.

For this money, Yang Chao plans to distribute dividends to shareholders.

Yang Chao is currently engaged in construction and armament upgrade plans, so he is very happy to get a fortune, but the key is Wang Xiao.

Yang Chao felt that if there was no dividend, Wang Xiao would be in trouble.

Therefore, after discussing with Kang Hui, they decided to share 3 taels of dividends. This way, one share can be divided into 100 taels. He sold more than half of his shares and only kept ten shares. He could only get 1 taels. I wonder if he regretted it.

Kang Hui originally wanted to deduct Wang Xiao's money account in Jinchai Building before paying dividends to Wang Xiao. In this way, Wang Xiao not only could not get the money, but had to pay back more than 100 taels of money. Seeing this situation Yang Chao begged for a favor, and Kang Hui agreed to let Wang Xiao continue to owe money for a while, but insisted on not giving Wang Xiao any more credit.

After the ten days of performances, the Jinchai Tower will temporarily suspend performances. The next performance will be in ten days. During these ten days, we must rehearse carefully.

Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan were the main players in the rehearsal. Both of them became "ten thousand households" at once, but they did not quit the arena. Unexpectedly, Jinchai Tower even sent several thugs to protect along the way.

Therefore, for the time being, it was Chen Yuanyuan who acted as the adult, the protagonist and chief director.

Chen Yuanyuan started out as an actor, so she is quite proficient in acting. Under her training, plus the bonus of taking the stage, the little girls in the Jinchai Building are all very hardworking, practicing all kinds of acting skills and singing .

Yang Chao returned to the barracks.

Construction has already begun.

The head craftsman from the Ministry of Industry began to lead people to clean up the accumulated sediment.

The craftsman said that the situation was better than expected, because although the silt had silted up the pier channel, it also buried the big wooden piles in the past, but those wooden piles did not decay and could still be used, so the biggest job was actually dredging. After silting, put those wooden sticks on a shelf to become a berth.

It's just that this kind of berth is too crude. Yang Chao discussed with the craftsman and planned to build it into a fixed stone pier.

Carpenter said it was not cost-effective, because once the Yangtze River and the estuary flood, they will be silted up. In the face of sedimentation, there is no difference between stone docks and wooden docks.

But the cost of the two is very different. If it is wood, it will not cost much. It is estimated that 2000 taels of silver will be enough if it is a stone wharf. The key is to build the stone pier, which cannot be completed without a year or two of effort, which made Yang Chao give up his mind.

Yang Chao is not afraid of spending money, but lacks time.

However, Yang Chao asked Jiangtou to take a look and proposed a plan to build a dike. After seeing the river bank along the way, Jiangtou said that this could be repaired, but it would also cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Yang Chao told the craftsman not to worry about money, and asked him to help build the embankment after dredging the pier.

The bathrooms in the barracks have been built, and there is hot water for bathing every day.

Regarding the problem of hot water bathing, Yang Chao actually planned to use cold water at the beginning, thinking that cold water can exercise one's will.

But seeing that all the water sources are directly from the Qinhuai River, Yang Chao gave up on this plan, not to mention how many people in Nanjing city discharge sewage into the Qinhuai River every day, just all kinds of parasites are enough for Yang Chao The tide forgoes natural cold water.

The rivers in the Ming Dynasty were naturally free of chemical pollution, so the water quality was better than later generations, but there must be more microorganisms than later generations, and naturally there were more parasites. Not to mention anything else, just the schistosomiasis that is prevalent in the south of the Yangtze River is enough Let Yang Chao stay away from natural rivers.

Therefore, Yang Chao has always insisted that bathing and drinking water must be boiled.

In addition, Yang Chao's military law requires soldiers to take a bath every day after training, so the business of the bathhouse is very prosperous. Fortunately, the bathhouse is large enough to avoid overcrowding, but it has reached its limit. If Yang Chao's army If you expand again, you have to build another one.
