Chen Jie handed the paper to Ruyang King and said, "These are my betrothal gifts. I wonder if the Prince is satisfied."
Ruyang King took the betrothal gift list and said, "Thirty shop fronts?"
Chen Jie replied, "These are all shop fronts on the most central streets of Huangzhou Prefecture. Each shop front's annual rent is no less than five thousand taels."
"Three salt fields?"
Chen Jie said, "These salt fields are located in Mianshui County, with an annual output value of no less than ten thousand taels."
"Five mines?"
"Three iron mines, one copper mine, and a small gold mine. The minimum annual output value is thirty thousand taels."
Hearing this, Ruyang King took a deep breath; this amounts to fifty to sixty thousand taels a year, with dividends every year. If we think about the value alone, these exceed five to six million taels, don't they?
Right then, Chen Jie continued, "Prince, actually the most valuable is the Huangzhou Prefecture Fifth Textile Factory."
