In fact, what troubles Jin Feng most now is not money, but food.
Gold and silver are just a kind of currency and cannot be eaten or drunk. When disaster really strikes, there is no difference between gold and silver and stones.
In fact, the essence of gold and silver is a kind of metal. It cannot be broken by smashing or boiling. As long as it is still in Dakang, no matter how the family does it, it will belong to Jinfeng sooner or later.
Therefore, Jin Feng didn't particularly care about whether he could absorb deposits from other places. He just tried it with the mentality of trying it out if there was no chance.
It would be best if the dignitaries and landlords from other places are willing to deposit their money in Jinchuan Bank. If they are not willing, that's okay. At most, it will be the same as now. After the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau fights them, they can be dealt with slowly.
This is also the reason why Jin Feng took action and immediately occupied the Jiangnan Granary.
Because grain is so easily destroyed, a fire can completely burn a grain depot.
"Okay, I will return to Xichuan tomorrow and send out the announcement as soon as possible."
Zhu Linglong was already very capable, and after this year of training, she became even more vigorous and resolute.
Seeing that Jin Feng had already confirmed it, he directly put pen to paper to draft the content of the announcement.
Taking advantage of this moment, Jin Feng picked up the pamphlet that Zhu Chen had just handed over and read it.
In fact, every month Zhu Chen would report statistical data to Tang Xiaobei, who would then report it to the Ninth Princess.
If Jin Feng wants to see it, he can see it in the Ninth Princess's study.
It's just that Jin Feng's usual focus of work is in the laboratory and factory. If Jin Feng didn't take the initiative to ask about these things, the Ninth Princess would not tell him.
Now that Zhu and Chen have prepared the pamphlet, Jin Feng should take a look even out of politeness.
He didn't pay much attention at first, but when he saw the inn's revenue data, Jin Feng was shocked.
"Is the business of the inn so good?"
"Thanks to Mr., almost every one of our inns now has no worries about business!" When Zhu Chen said this, her eyes narrowed with laughter.
She has been running an inn since she married Zhu Linglong's father when she was a teenager, so she has rich experience.
From the time Jin Feng started planning to build an inn next to the official road, she had guessed that the business of Jinchuan Inn would be good, but she didn't expect it to be so good.
Almost every Jinchuan Inn is open and every one is full.
It is basically an experiment to make money by opening an inn in a busy place, but the Jinchuan Inn is just the opposite. The more remote the place, the better the business.
Zhu Chen was puzzled about this for a while, and it wasn't until she conducted some personal research that she discovered the key.
Although Jinfeng does not allow other inns to open on both sides of the official road, the official road is not closed. When passing around some lively towns, merchants can walk down the official road to find other inns in the towns to live.
But in those remote places, it is difficult for merchants to find inns other than Jinchuan Inn. Even if they find them, they may not dare to stay there.
After all, the current world is quite chaotic. If you encounter a black shop, you will lose both your life and money, and you may even lose your life.
And Jinchuan Inn has escorts from Zhenyuan Escort Agency on staff, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.
To some extent, Jinchuan Inn has already formed a brand influence.
Jin Feng noticed that Mrs. Zhu Chen was smiling and was a little worried that she was inflated, so he said with a smile: "Honey, it's not my fault that the inn's business is good, but it's my own business. I don't even think about it! But we can't do it well!"
Don’t be so proud that you smashed up the Jinchuan Inn’s signboard!”
People who open inns have to face people from all over the world every day. After working in the inn for so many years, Zhu Chen's ability to observe people's emotions is as good as that of the Ninth Princess. When she heard what Jin Feng said, she knew that Jin Feng was trying to beat her up and quickly assured her.
:
"Sir, what you said makes sense. Please rest assured. If it hadn't been for your righteous action, I and my whole family would not know where they were dead. Even if I were torn into pieces, I would still be able to run the Jinchuan Inn well and live up to your trust!"
"Your Majesty, you are serious! You are serious!" Jin Feng waved his hands repeatedly: "I can rest assured if you hand over the inn to your Majesty!"
"By the way, sir, speaking of independent business, I also have something to report to you."
"Ma'am, tell me."
"Recently, I heard that some innkeepers are spreading gossip, saying that our Jinchuan Inn does not allow other inns to build stores next to the official road, which is too overbearing."
"If you hear them say that again in the future, tell them that if they are willing to spend money to repair the official roads, I can give them the quota to build the inn!" Jin Feng replied coldly.
"It costs so much money to build an official road, and they are definitely not willing to do it!" Zhu Chen said.
"Then shut them up!" Jin Feng said: "I spent so much money to build officialdom, and they haven't exerted any energy, and they still want to follow behind to reap the benefits. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"
In order to build official roads and water conservancy projects, Jin Feng almost emptied his family fortune.
Although Jinchuan Inn can make money, the income is pitifully low compared to Jin Feng's efforts.
However, building roads and bridges is a people's livelihood project, and it is also a long-term business. Jin Feng knew this before starting the project, and was mentally prepared to rely on the inn to slowly make back the money.
In the end, even so, he was still targeted for the inn business.
No matter how good-tempered Jin Feng was, he was still angry at this moment.
"Sir, what you said makes sense, but they deliberately avoided this point. They only told the merchants that our Jinchuan Inn charges high fees. If they opened an inn next to the official road, it would definitely be cheaper than us. Some people even encouraged the merchants to embarrass our inn."
Zhu Chen said.
"Give them shame!" Jin Feng said coldly: "If you encounter something like this in the future, report it directly to the government. If you really find that a businessman is deliberately causing trouble, you will hand it over to the government for handling!"
After the Ninth Princess ascended the throne, the status of merchants was greatly improved. However, Jin Feng and Ninth Princess did this to stimulate business development, not to let the merchants dominate.
The nature of businessmen is to pursue profits. If the profits are high enough, they will try their best to explore loopholes in the law, and even have the courage to trample all laws and even take control of political power.
The chaebols of Bangzi Country in the previous life are the best proof.
Therefore, Jin Feng encouraged businessmen to make money through legal means, but he never dared to underestimate the ambitions of businessmen.
Of course, Jin Feng would not listen to Zhu Chen's words, lest she confuse him and suppress his enemies, so he told Zhu Chen to hand over the investigation power to the government if he found any unusual behavior by the businessman.
And this incident also reminded Jin Feng.
With the development of various factories and the recovery of business, there will definitely be more and more economic crimes. He plans to set up an investigation team specifically to monitor the economy after he returns.
