Part 231 - 240

Not much really.

However, the two of them only took half of the share, which was 5%. Therefore, after Manager Jia left, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went into the study and began to calculate the income of the Royal Pastry Shop in the past few months.

From the silver they earned, we can know that the net profits of the Royal Dim Sum Shop in these four months were 34,000 taels, 46,000 taels, 60,000 taels, and 72,000 taels respectively.

A dim sum shop can make a net profit of 70,000 taels of silver a month, and the number is still growing. In Li Qiao's opinion, this shop is great.

Moreover, Sheng Hong has been looking for ways to expand production. The milk produced by the Niuyang Company is too little to meet the demand, so he purchases milk from all over Shengjing. He also plans to enclose a piece of land outside Shengjing specifically for raising cattle.

At that time, there were no dairy cows, and the only supply of milk was from oxen, which obviously could not meet the needs of the entire Shengjing.

However, making old-fashioned egg cake does not require milk, and old-fashioned egg cake is the best-selling of the three types of bread, so the pressure on milk is not actually that great.

But the market is not infinite, because the total population of Shengjing is only more than three million, most of these people are ordinary people, and the rich are a minority.

Moreover, making old-fashioned egg cakes requires beating eggs. At that time, there were no electric egg beaters, so beating had to be done manually, and the amount of old-fashioned egg cakes made each day was limited.

Therefore, due to various reasons, although the Royal Dim Sum Shop’s business is booming, its sales volume is limited.

According to Li Qiao's estimation, the maximum profit of the Royal Dim Sum Shop should be around 100,000 taels per month.

If it is 100,000 taels a month, then it is 1.2 million taels a year.

Excluding the half share given to him, only a little over 1.1 million taels entered the national treasury.

This number is actually not small.

Because according to the information Li Qiao had recently obtained, the fiscal revenue of Da Sheng in a year, not counting grain but only silver, the amount that could finally enter the Shengjing treasury was only more than 20 million taels of silver.

Because after collecting taxes every time, the local government will keep some for daily expenses.

In addition, since its establishment, Da Sheng has been taking the path of low taxation. At the beginning, the tax rate was 130%, and taxes were reduced or exempted from time to time. Later, as the population increased, taxes increased a little, but overall they were low.

Therefore, the tax revenue in recent years that finally flowed into the Shengjing treasury was less than 30 million silver dollars each year.

Nowadays, a dim sum shop can account for one twentieth of the national treasury revenue, which is really great.

Furthermore, this is just the main store in Shengjing.

Sheng Hong will definitely open branches in other provinces.

It doesn't matter if the branch doesn't have milk, because the old-fashioned egg cake does not require milk, but only eggs, flour, sugar and oil. Therefore, this branch can be opened in a remote area.

There are more than 300 prefectures in Dasheng, and the combined income of these 300 prefectures must exceed that of the Shengjing headquarters, because the wealthy areas of Jiangnan alone are almost as much as Shengjing.
