Chapter 449

After three days of continuous light snow, it suddenly turned into a heavy snow.

Overnight, Qingzhou was once again wrapped in a layer of white, but different from previous years, even in the cold and snow, businessmen would not stop their voices.

There was an endless stream of merchant ships on the wharf. They unloaded coal, iron ore, cotton, grain, fur, saltpeter, sulfur and other commodities, and transported soap, glass, wine, cotton padded clothes, coal stove and other commodities produced in Qingzhou.

They all want to make a lot of money during the new year. After all, the new year is the hottest day for businessmen.

"Your Highness, the intimate clothes designed by the princess are really popular in Chang'an. The 8000 sets of clothes we sold to Chang'an this time were sold completely, making a total of 80000 taels of silver."

Every new year's Day is the time to audit the accounts of the fiefdom. He and Pang Yukun have been busy with it these two days. At the same time, they sum up the lessons of one year and plan for the next year.

For this matter, he asked Pang Yukun to send all the six prefectures and Youzhou prefectures to Qingzhou for reconciliation.

Besides the government, the military, the chamber of Commerce, the mine, the shipbuilding workshop, the military workshop and other organizations are no exception. In order to avoid official corruption, Xiao Ming has always maintained a high-pressure situation in this matter.

In the future, the checking of accounts will be carried out every year.

After reviewing the accounts of the chamber of Commerce verified by the government, Xiao Ming picked up a pen, signed his name and stamped his seal. The accounts of the chamber of commerce were approved.

"Eighty thousand taels of silver? Well, yes, it's only from Chang'an. If it's sold in other places, it's a considerable income. " Xiao Ming said.

"Your Highness is absolutely right. Now the cotton padded jackets and clothes of the textile workshop are sold well in other parts of Dayu. Our prices are cheap and our quality is better than others. We only made 300000 taels of silver this year. With the new clothes now, I estimate that the textile workshop will make at least 2 million taels of silver next year." Li Kaiyuan analyzed.

Xiao Ming nodded his approval. The textile workshop was just established this year, and most of the time it produced military uniforms for the Qingzhou army. It was only in the second half of this year that foreign trade began.

Taking advantage of no tax in Jinling, Jizhou, Chang'an and other places, his goods have an absolute advantage in price.

After signing, Xiao Ming handed over the accounts of the chamber of Commerce to Li Kaiyuan, who was relieved.

The audit of accounts at the end of this year is the most tense time of the whole fiefdom. If there is a mistake in the accounts, the year will not be comfortable. There are some problems in the accounts sent by Yizhou two days ago. Yan Changhao, the governor of Yizhou, was ordered to come to Qingzhou immediately to check the accounts in person. If there is a problem in the accounts, Yan Changhao will be miserable.

"Textile mills are booming, but other commodities can't be ignored. This year, the sales of soap and liquor are still normal. The chamber of Commerce will bring 3 million taels of income, but the sales of glass have dropped a lot."

Recalling the data on the accounts, Xiao Ming frowned.

Li Kaiyuan explained: "Your Highness, there is no way to do this. Soap and liquor are consumables. You have to buy them when you run out of them. However, the mirror may not have to be changed for a long time. If you want to expand sales, you have to find a new market. My highness dares to ask when we can carry out maritime trade."

Mentioning this, Xiao Ming frowned.

Rodd has just left, he is not sure whether the Dutch will accept the terms of the negotiations, but after seeing the strength of Qingzhou, he believes the Dutch will have a new understanding of him.

In fact, from the beginning, he did not intend to drive the Dutch out completely, otherwise he would not negotiate with the Dutch at all.

The reason for the negotiation is to avoid a complete split between the two sides.

Compared with the conditions in Dengzhou City, after Rhode came to Qingzhou this time, he lowered his requirements for the Dutch, and he has allowed the Dutch to maintain their presence in the city of geranzha.

The only thing that the Dutch need to do is that they can't keep such a strong military force in the city of geranque, because he will not garrison too many troops in Ryukyu in the future. If the Dutch army stays 100% in the city of geranque, it will be a threat to him.

At the very least, the Dutch should keep the necessary self-defense forces in the city of geranzio. However, negotiation is like shopping. First of all, we should see the price unacceptable to the other party, and then bargain slowly. If we can get a low price, we can't do better.

"It will not be determined until the negotiations are over." "But it won't be long. At most, we will take the Australian trade route in April next year," Xiao told Li

Li Kaiyuan said with a smile, "hey hey, then I'll wait for the good news." Then he retired and turned away.

Turning to the next account, Xiao Ming examines it again. This is the army's account, which lists the army's food consumption, ammunition consumption and equipment procurement in one year.

He was a little frightened by the huge expenses on the account. The army is really a big spender. He finally understood why a country should keep on Disarmament in peacetime, because its finance would be dragged down by the army.

After auditing the accounts for half a month, Xiao Ming's third spring festival in the world finally arrived.This time is different from the Spring Festival of the previous two years. He has a wife who accompanies him for life and a person who can spend the Spring Festival together.

On New Year's Eve, Xiao Ming took Fei yue'er to celebrate the festival with the royal family, and the officials also spent the new year in their own homes.

Last year, Xiao Ming came to them alone because he was cumin. In fact, they still wanted to be reunited with their families for the new year.

After preparing a sumptuous meal, fireworks show, drama and a series of other projects, everyone's face is filled with smile.

"Your Highness, how beautiful the fireworks are."

Looking at the fireworks exploding over the palace, Fei yue'er's eyes twinkled with the same color of Psychedelic.

"Yes, as beautiful as you are." Xiao Ming's glib words make Fei yue'er smile sweetly.

At this time, he and Fei yue'er stood side by side, with brilliant fireworks and deep night sky on his head, surrounded by gorgeous beauties.

Lying on the knees of a drunken beauty, he wakes up and holds the power of the world. This makes him suddenly feel heroic. He also looks at the sky, but in Xiao Ming's eyes is the sea of stars.

To live one more life, he should live one more life without regret.

Closing his eyes, Xiao Ming seems to be able to see the light of stars. This is the evidence of the existence of scientific and technological crystal in his mind. In the past two years, he has struggled hard and finally won his foothold.

In the next time, he will really play the role of civilization maker and lead this civilization to glory.
