Capítulo 1990: Chapter 1987: Earning Silver
Once he entered the palace, it would not be easy for him to leave again.
Perhaps it was because Chu Heng’s two questions were related to Beirong.
The officials in the Ministry of War gradually beca very concerned about this issue as well.
Once this issue arose, most officials’ attention was focused on what the Beirong Prince intended to do.
Instead, not many people paid attention to Zhou Tianqi and Hu Hua.
After all, these two were engaged in a private feud.
The Beirong Prince was different.
anwhile, in the capital, when the situation was tense and uncertain.
Li Chongjin and the other two Princes secretly rushed to the Northern Region, traveling separately so that no one knew each other’s progress.
However, the Great Prince and the Second Prince, for so reason.
Halfway through the journey, they unexpectedly t, and after a discussion, they decided to depart together.
This also led so officials in the Northern Region to beco restless.
However, Prince Rong, who took the dangerous Xiao Lu from the beginning, progressed the fastest and didn’t even stop at post stations. Within a few days of departing, he disappeared without a trace.
While Chu Heng was diligently building his power in the Ministry of War.
Ye Muyu was not idle either.
She first calculated her family’s silver.
This ti, opening the dicine shop cost over a thousand taels, with buying the shop and storing dicinal herbs being the major expenses.
The cost of establishing the trade caravan was actually not much, only requiring travel expenses for each mber and issuing a third of the monthly allowance.
But more importantly, following them to buy dicinal herbs required a substantial amount of funds.
And for this fund, drawing on the previous experience of the Du families, Ye Muyu allocated five hundred taels.
Over the years, she had also saved so silver.
The silver saved in the family account was about twenty to thirty thousand taels.
Not much, so Ye Muyu prepared to continue earning money!
The matter of opening the dicine shop had already begun to unfold, but it would take quite a bit of ti. She calculated that at the current speed, the investnt in the dicine shop would be about two hundred taels per month.
If she wanted to make it back, it would take approximately a year for a shop to beco profitable.
Fortunately, there were the rouge shop, clothing store, and inn, all of which were continuously making profits. Every month, the rouge shop alone brought in at least two thousand taels, and since the last successful competition, the clothing store’s business was booming, earning over a thousand taels monthly.
The inn, however, profited slightly less, around five hundred taels.
Nevertheless, just from these three shops alone, the net profit was nearly four thousand taels per month. She hadn’t even calculated the output from the bookstore, manor, or the inco from the dicine shop.
Ye Muyu considered the types of goods that could be sold during these tis.
So everyday items, such as pots, bowls, and plates, were all produced in kilns. Most were Official Kiln products. Although Private Kilns also profited from this, they required many artisans, which she currently didn’t have, so she couldn’t consider it for now.
After all, the simplest things were still food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
So should she expand the inn and clothing store?
However, these two types of businesses were not uncommon in the Prefectural Cities and other large areas of Great Chu.
Yet, this wasn’t much of a problem, as capturing the market wasn’t too difficult a task.
Thinking this over, Ye Muyu calculated the initial investnt needed for opening an inn and clothing store.
Now that looms were becoming popular in Great Chu, the price of ordinary cotton and linen had decreased.
However, it was raw materials like cotton that were scarce. The clothing store lacked not business but raw materials, which were always insufficient.
Ye Muyu wrote down “buy land” on a piece of paper.
These days, it was common for officials to buy land below.
Ye Muyu didn’t mind only being able to purchase land near the capital.
She planned to buy more, as long as she trained a few more staff mbers to manage it.
