Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 189

Yan'e took out the account book and showed it to Shen Lingjun, item by item.

"Madam, our sales tripled again last month. Retail sales have remained stable, but the growth is mainly in wholesale. We sold 46,000 yuan worth of goods last month, and we also have a batch of pre-orders on hand. We expect it to grow to 100,000 yuan next month."

The word "wholesale" was first used by Qin Jianxi to her.

In just a few months, the new bath beans have become a hit throughout Beiyidu. Everyone can use this product, and it's far superior to all previous cleaning products, so the market is huge.

Merchants of all sizes from Beiyi flocked to the place, placing bulk orders for the new bath beans from the Shen family, which were then sold throughout Beiyi.

Yanmo added another workshop last month and expects to add another one this month. They have recruited dozens of people to handle the continuous stream of orders.

Shen Lingjun asked, "How much profit have we made so far?"

Yan'e smiled and flipped through a few pages of the account book: "Madam, look, there are already 25,000 taels, and that doesn't even include the latest amount."

Shen Lingjun: "..."

She just spent 18,000 taels of silver, and she's already made it back?

This business is really profitable!

However, what she needs to consider now is not just making money.

The Yongning Marquis's mansion is no longer a force to be reckoned with, and the Shen family has fallen into such a state of decline. In a place like the capital, without power and status, no matter how much money one earns, it will eventually be lost.

Shen Lingjun said to Yan E, "Could you hand over this business to someone else to manage within a month? I have other more important things I want to entrust to you."

Yan'e's expression immediately turned serious. After a moment's thought, she said, "Currently, I have several reliable managers under me, and the business is on track. Handing over routine matters to them should be no problem. What does Madam want me to do?"

Shen Lingjun said, "I want you to organize a caravan to travel along the northwest border."

Yan'e was surprised: "The Northwest? There's not much money to be made there. Very few caravans travel through the Northwest."

The northwest was the Western Qi. The Northern Yi and the Western Qi fought for years, and the two countries had extremely poor relations, with very sharp conflicts and trade almost completely cut off.

Fewer and fewer caravans are now traveling through the Northwest because the risks are too high and the profits are not high.

The vast majority of caravans headed southeast, towards the prosperous southern Guangdong and eastern Lin, which were the best places to do business.

Shen Lingjun said, "I'm not doing this to make money; I have other purposes. You just need to set up the caravan first."

She wanted this caravan mainly to provide cover for transporting grain for her.

Otherwise, how do you explain her going to the northwest border alone and suddenly producing more than a million catties of grain out of thin air?

Yan'e didn't quite understand, but she still agreed, "Yes, this servant will go and make preparations right away."

She was actually quite excited because she had never imagined that she could form a caravan herself. Usually, it was men who were out in the open doing business.

She used to help manage the shops in Shen Lingjun's dowry, but now she's started a business selling new bath beans. The scale of her business has grown so much, which is a huge step forward in her beloved business career.

Since there was still an opportunity to form a caravan, she certainly wouldn't miss it; not just for the money, but to do her best.

After talking with Yan E, Shen Lingjun went to the Shen family again to see Shen Jingyang.

As soon as I entered, I ran into the Wen family.

Lady Wen said happily, "Lingjun, I was just about to go to the Yongning Marquis's residence to find you. There's great news! News just came from the palace that Consort Jing has given birth! It's a little prince!"

Shen Lingjun was both surprised and delighted upon hearing this.
