Zhuo Wangsun wasn't surprised to hear that Xiao Wen wanted to keep the carpenter workshop. In fact, this matter was part of Xiao Wen's plan, so it was normal for him to not do it.
Thus, he only nodded slightly.
After thinking for a moment, Zhuo Wang Sun asked, "The Young Master created an old man who left behind more than just this inheritance after his death. Apart from the fact that his money was to be used as the national treasury, everything else would be divided up. I wonder if you have anything else that you need? "
Xiao Wen was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
When He Shen was alive, he had a lot of things. Except for Xiao Wen, who couldn't inherit the political legacy as an enemy, and who would turn over the money directly to the state, the position would be replaced by Lee Bo Kao, and Liu Bang could decide on the replacement after the decision was made, the rest could be chosen by himself.
"What kind of businesses did He Heshen leave behind?" Xiao Wen asked.
Zhuo Wangsun thought for a while and said: "We cannot get close to the industry outside the Cloud City, so we can only give it to others. This is also something that cannot be helped." As for inside the city, there are three banks, five civilian warehouses, six brothels, eight gambling houses, nine caravans, fifteen taverns, and twenty workshops, including the ice workshop that Lord Mo had opened before. "
"Last night, I did some calculations and considered the title, background, and property of Lord Creation, so swallowing half of it shouldn't be a problem."
Hearing Zhuo Wangsun's words, Xiao Wen nodded as he had a rough idea in his mind.
Choosing these industries was actually similar to playing a card combat game.
In card combat games, the strong are not the ones with the most cards. If one wanted to fight back, having too many cards would instead reduce one's chances of getting a good card.
And those cards that could be simplified to every single card was extremely important. If they could coordinate together to form an extremely powerful group of cards, then that was what players were after.
Similarly, when Xiao Wen picked He Heshen's industry, he also considered whether he could cooperate with his other industries.
For example, brothels and casinos, these were all grey businesses. Although the big man couldn't help it, it was still something disharmonious.
If Xiao Wen swallowed it without enough manpower to manage it, it would only increase the burden on him.
"If there are veterans there that I can arrange, maybe I'll have enough people to run these businesses. But I didn't. " Xiao Wen thought.
As for the bank, although Xiao Wen had a complete set of financial industry books, the financial sector of this era, especially the financial sector of the big, backward economy, was simply too terrible.
In order to make money through the financial sector, Xiao Wen will need to do a lot of things.
With this kind of energy, Xiao Wen might as well do business.
After all, according to Xiao Wen's actual situation, the money earned by industry was definitely more than that of the financial sector.
"Perhaps I will have enough status and reality in the future to do a bit of financial industry to pool resources. But to do this now would be too much of a waste of time for me. "
And then the fifteen pubs …
Xiao Wen remembered that at some point in the Han Dynasty's history, a prohibition on alcohol would be imposed.
In other words, the pubs he took over were just something that would sooner or later close down.
Of course, he could also rely on his own political power after the prohibition of alcohol was issued and make a huge profit by purchasing a large number of pubs.
With Xiao Wen's distilling skills, the amount of money he could earn would only increase.
However, this kind of thing was the same as the bank. It would waste a lot of Xiao Wen's energy and didn't have much of an interface with what Xiao Wen was currently doing.
So, he thought about it and asked, "Do these pubs have their own winemaking workshop?"
Zhuo Wangsun shook his head and said: "All their wine was bought in the winery. If it's a winemaking workshop, there's also one under He Heshen's name, but I count it as twenty workshops. "
Xiao Wen nodded and also dropped the option of tavern.
After seeing the four choices that Xiao Wen and Xiao Wen couldn't be bothered to give to the money shop, brothel, gambling den and tavern, Xiao Wen's gaze fell onto the remaining items — — the caravan, warehouse, and the workshop.
"Mr. Zhuo, do you know where these caravans lead to?" Xiao Wen asked.
"This old man has naturally understood this since a long time ago." After guessing that Xiao Wen might be interested, the experienced Zhuo Wang Sun had already made his preparations.
Therefore, when Xiao Wen asked, he said happily: "Three of these caravans left from the horse market where they were trading with the Huns. They went through the clouds, the north and the other counties, and then arrived at Chang'an. One goes to the Ming Kingdom, the other goes to the Song Kingdom, and the last one goes to the Ba Shu Country and the Northern Counties. "
Xiao Wen nodded. He had no interest in the long-distance caravans to Ming and Song kingdoms.
As this item had a long duration, it could only be used for some of the rarer and more valuable items. What Xiao Wen intended to manage, without exception, was a product with low interest and high sales.
Thus, these two caravans weren't of much use to Xiao Wen.
Similarly, although the Ba Shu was part of the Han Dynasty, it was still dangerous for a donkey friend to enter the Sichuan Basin from the east even in the 21st century.
In this era, the level of trouble was no different from going to a foreign country.
As such, Xiao Wen, who was heading for Bashu, decisively dismissed the matter.
However, the Sixteenth Swallow Region …
Xiao Wen thought, this seemed to be what the Song Nation was plotting during this war.
It was located in the Hebei region of the future generation.
"Hebei... The Bohai Sea … "Tang Shan …"
Xiao Wen thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Mr. Zhuo, I've decided. As for the caravan, I plan to go to the three areas on the prairie and the one for Yan Yun."
"These three?" Zhuo Wangsun nodded. Although he couldn't understand why Xiao Wen didn't choose the more profitable route of Bashu and Song Ming.
However, Xiao Wen stopped in his tracks because of various political reasons.
Xiao Wen wasn't clear about Zhuo Wangsun's mistake. He just said flatly, "I want all the goods in the warehouse."
Although a warehouse was only used to provide storage services for travelling merchants, although it could not be said that it was a place where one would not earn money, it was at least not as profitable as other industries.
If he took it out alone, it would be quite useless.
However, in this card game, there was still a lack of those monolithic cards. If they were combined with other cards, would the effects be extremely terrifying?
After all, logistics storage was very important for people like Xiao Wen who wanted to make a profit and sell more.
If he couldn't store a lot of cashmere, it would cause a lot of trouble in the production process.
As such, Xiao Wen didn't hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, he contracted the three warehouses.
"Then, Mr. Zhuo. "If I put all my remaining resources into the annexation workshop, how much can I eat?"
