Han Huaiyi said: "Brother, there are several problems here. One problem is that every year our family advances funds to transport the canal. If the money is calculated based on the interest of the money house, our profits will have to be reduced."

"Second." He continued: "Risk."

"What risks?" Han Huaizhong asked.

"Three hundred boats and hundreds of people heading north. It would be fine if it was in peace. After all, the canal was not very stormy, but there was a big trouble in the north. If there was a mistake, let's not say anything else. We have to take care of any ship worker, which is a big risk."

Han Huaizhong was very happy to hear what his brother said so thoroughly, but he frowned on the surface: "It seems that there is something in your words."

What do I fuck...

Han Huaiyi instinctively pulled the chair back and gritted his teeth: "Brother, it's not that my younger brother doesn't take his ancestral property seriously, but that the years are different."

Before he could finish his words, Han Huaizhong stopped him and said, "Didn't you talk about a few questions? You only said two, what else?"

"Inflation."

"What?" Han Huaizhong naturally didn't understand this.

Han Huaiyi quickly used the expression of this era to talk to his elder brother: "Silver is becoming more and more valuable, and copper coins are becoming less and less valuable. The canal transportation yamen is very unscrupulous, and they all settle accounts with us according to the usual copper coins. Their exchange price code is still from the Daoguang period! We are losing money here."

Speaking of which, Han Huaiyi thought of this question in a daze last night.

This kind of thing will not be directly reflected in the account.

But there are changes in data.

For example, the year before yesterday, the canal transportation yamen used two jin to calculate one liang, and the Han family earned seven thousand.

Last year, they used the same price to convert, but the Han family only had more than 5,000 yuan.

Where did the money go?

Han Huaiyi finally figured it out that this was terrible inflation.

Because this year, you can get one or two silver coins for three or five coins.

The Cao Transportation Office also settled the bill with the Han family based on the exchange ratio of two-cent money, which was equivalent to cheating the Han family's profits from it.

When Han Huaizhong heard his younger brother's eyes lit up when he said this, he thought excitedly that the second child was really sensible, and he could even see this.

But he still held back and asked him calmly: "What else?"

"And?" Han Huaiyi shook his head and said, "I only think of so much, but just the current few things are enough to illustrate some problems."

“What’s the problem.”

"The risk of personnel is high, the settlement cycle is long, and the exchange of money is getting higher and higher. Brother, I don't care whether you are happy or not, even if you hit me, I will say that this business can't be done anymore, let alone I have top secret information."

"What news?" Han Huaizhong asked.

Han Huaiyi rushed to the door and then rushed back to follow the script he had imagined. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother, didn't I often stay in Zuihualou to numb Shi Jintao?"

Han Huaizhong couldn't help it anymore and warned him coldly: "Tell me the serious business, and don't mention the words of treating others as fools in the future."

Han Huaiyi was so embarrassed, but he was the second child, what could he do?

Han Huaiyi could only write down awkwardly: "I once met a young man from the north here. The guy was quite close to me. Later, I accidentally realized that he was a prince."

Han Huaizhong...

"After he learned about my business, he mentioned to me before leaving that the court would lay off the canal transport in the next year."

Han Huaizhong originally thought he was nonsense, but when he heard this, Han Huaizhong was shocked: "How is that possible?"

"Brother, the north is in chaos, and the mother and son in the palace are still fighting. In addition, they want to clean up the people left behind in the middle hall, which has led to the extreme dissatisfaction with the north. I dare to tell you this. If the trouble continues, the world will not know what it will be like."

Southeast Mutual Protection happened three years ago.

Even the people knew the Qing court's face was ruined.

What's more, the places like Jiading in Yangzhou were the most dissatisfied with the Qing court, so Han Huaizhong's words to his younger brother were not surprised.

However, he was surprised that his younger brother could actually say this.

Could it be that this kid really met a prince who visited a private visit in the kiln?

People these days are actually relatively simple in thinking and have little imagination.

Han Huaizhong believed it a little, but asked him in confusion: "How do you know the identity of that person? Are you not afraid that this is Shi Jintao's method?"

"I thought about this possibility, but does Shi Jintao dare to play like this? He only understood the truth with me before he left. As for how I knew his identity, I was not curious if he said this, so I followed him quietly, and he went to Yangzhou Prefecture."

Han Huaiyi recalled the Qing palace drama and said, "It was evening at that time, and the central door of the mansion opened to greet him. Then the Manchu governor also came and urinated. When he dismounted, he told Goshha that the little prince Chenghou had come, and he performed better. I only knew his identity. He was scared to death."

"Sincere?"

"It should be the eldest son of Prince Li Shiduo of Daishan. What do you think I am? I am hiding beside me and listening to some Mangoshe muttering. Then I ran away quickly."

"When did it happen?"

"Not long ago. But brother, I swear to you with my head, I'm not kidding. No matter how bad my brother, I'm not talking like this, let alone I'm really awake."

Han Huaizhong's body, which had been tense, instantly softened and sighed: "Fortunately you were not discovered."

"Yes, I'm afraid too. If I'm discovered, the happier he's having fun with me in the kiln, the more I'll kill me, so I ran away quickly."

"You're right, then you can say it now, what are your real thoughts?"

"Then don't get angry." Han Huaiyi took away the teacup at his hand first with vigilant eyes. Han Huaizhong laughed angrily before saying, "Brother, take advantage of the Shi family's disaster, let's take the opportunity to raise the price and get out of business. In short, don't do this canal transportation, and if the canal transportation is not done, don't keep this fleet."

"What if I don't agree to you."

"...Brother, I'm serious, why are you angry with me? I'm not kidding."

Han Huaizhong suddenly leaned forward and lowered his throat and asked, "Second, tell me the truth, what happened to the Shi family? Did you do it?"

He wouldn't have thought so before, but Han Huaiyi was analyzing the accounts, current situation, and even the prince he was talking about, these things made Han Huaizhong a little suspicious.

Han Huaiyi refused to admit it, "Brother, what are you kidding?"

"Will I still cheat you for the Shi family? Tell the truth to your elder brother quickly." Han Huaizhong said seriously.

Han Huaiyi felt that nothing was good, so he continued to refuse to admit it.

Han Huaizhong sighed after hearing this: "If you did it, I will be at ease."

"What does it mean?" Han Huaiyi was confused. Huaizhong said seriously: "If you have this vision and means, I'm happy. Of course, it's already very good that you can do it now."

"I did it."

When Han Huaiyi heard his tone, he immediately confessed.

Han Huaizhong can only meet this lively brother...
