Chapter 275 The prince gave money to the third uncle
Jun Lingyun reached out and motioned for Chu Wenjin to take a seat.
"Master Chu, as the Minister of Household Affairs, you should work hard to replenish the national treasury, right?"
Listening to Jun Lingyun speaking in such a serious tone and talking about such a serious topic, Chu Wenjin couldn't help but feel anxious. How could he dare to sit down on that butt? He turned slightly sideways and sat on half of his buttocks.
Did the prince blame him for still caring about his private career after becoming an official, or did he quarrel with his sister? Did he take it out on him? Chu Wenjin, who didn't know why, could only follow Jun Lingyun's words and reply first.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me the seat. Your Highness said exactly what you said. I will definitely take my place and seek my position."
Jun Lingyun thought to himself, this third uncle is very wise.
"Okay, that being the case, I have a hard-working matter that may offend others, and I want to leave it to you to handle."
"Your Highness, just ask."
Chu Wenjin wanted to be as respectful as possible on his face, but he was beating a drum in his heart.
It's over, it's over. It seems that it's not just him. I'm afraid it's my sister who has offended His Highness for some reason. The wedding is about to happen, and the young couple has a bad feeling. What should they do?
When he returns home, he has to have a good chat with his sister. If it is his sister's fault, he still has to coax His Highness. But if it is His Highness's fault, even if he makes things difficult, he cannot let his sister suffer.
Seeing his respectful and careful look, Jun Lingyun felt a little happy. What was going on?
Chu Wenjin, the third brother, has taken care of Xi'er's affairs. He, the fiancée, has no use for him. It's better to give him some work to make him more fulfilling.
"I intend to establish a world bank, which will be managed by the imperial court. Are you willing to take over this matter?"
Chu Wenjin didn't expect that what Jun Lingyun said was actually a serious matter. However,
"Your Highness, the existing banks you have now are all in the hands of plutocrats from all over the country. It is not easy to integrate them. I don't know how determined your Highness is, how far you want to achieve it, and how much power you can give to the humble ministers.
?”
"If it were easy, I wouldn't ask you to do it."
Jun Lingyun's words made Chu Wenjin want to cry. My sister really found a good brother-in-law and she believed in his abilities too much.
Jun Lingyun took out a thick stack of notebooks and handed them to Chu Wenjin.
"This is the distribution of banks in various places today. There are many blank areas for you to start."
Chu Wenjin took it with both hands, opened it and took a quick look, and couldn't help but be shocked. Not only was he shocked that Jun Lingyun knew so much about the merchants of Yunxiao Kingdom, but he was also shocked by his determination to accomplish this thing.
If I hadn't made up my mind, how could I have spent so much time and effort collecting this information?
It turns out that His Highness the Crown Prince did not do this on a whim, but had a plan in advance.
Jun Lingyun was very satisfied with Chu Wenjin's expression. Only when you are in awe of something can you avoid being impatient and making mistakes.
"As you said, today's banks are very regional. I want the whole world to use the same kind of banknotes. You can find our banks in any city. For this reason, within the scope allowed by the law,
Nai, you can do whatever you want on this matter, I just want results."
As a businessman, Chu Wenjin naturally knew how big Jun Lingyun's grand plan was. Once realized, Yunxiao Kingdom's economy would be in the hands of the imperial court. It would be clear where there was wealth and where there was poverty.
If trade between countries can be opened up again, a large amount of available funds will flow into Yunxiao. If used properly, more wealth can be created.
Chu Wenjin raised his head, looked directly at Jun Lingyun, cupped his fists and said:
"Thanks to His Highness for not giving up, I, Chu Wenjin, will do my best to achieve His Highness's great aspirations."
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply.
Jun Lingyun supported him,
"If you can do this, in return, 10% of the income from the world's banks will belong to you."
"One, one percent?"
The blood in Chu Wenjin's whole body was boiling, and he opened his mouth with difficulty.
"What, too little?"
Jun Lingyun didn't know whether it was intentional or not, so he asked Chu Wenjin.
"No, no, yes, it's too much."
With 10% of the profits of the world's banks, wouldn't he want to be as rich as the country? He was afraid that one day the royal family would regret it and kill him to silence him.
"As long as I am 10%, I will be satisfied, hehehehe."
Chu Wenjin giggled. I heard that the shopkeeper of a bank can earn one or two thousand taels of silver a year, which is equivalent to the salary of a county magistrate for hundreds of years. It can be seen that the income of the bank is beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
If there are money banks all over the world in the future, even 10% of the money will probably be compared to all the business he has now.
Jun Lingyun shook his head. Like his sister, he must be like his brother. He doesn't even want to give her money. What a fool.
"It's up to you."
"I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince."
Chu Wenjin changed his restraint when he first entered the hall, and his heart finally returned to his stomach.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. If things go wrong, I will take advantage of you."
"With His Highness the Crown Prince supporting me, how can I do anything wrong? I will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations."
Chu Wenjin could already imagine how he was making money every day. He was no longer afraid of not being able to keep up with his sister's whims, so he naturally had honey on his lips.
"Master, the eighth princess wants to see you."
The guard guarding the door came in to report, and Jun Lingyun glanced at Chu Wenjin.
"From now on, I will take care of Xi'er's affairs. Third brother, don't be distracted. Go back first."
This ability to be hot and cold, and to distinguish between public and private matters really made Chu Wenjin dare not be careless, so he bowed respectfully and left.
Princess Wantao did not expect that Jun Lingyun was discussing business with Chu Wenjin, but she could no longer care about so much.
Just as Chu Wenjin was about to salute Princess Wantao, she quickly entered the hall.
Chu Wenjin clearly saw the red circles in Princess Wantao's eyes and wondered what happened.
My sister and the eighth princess are also very close. If something happens to the eighth princess, my sister will not sit idly by and ignore it.
It was such an eventful time. Chu Wenjin shook his head and hurried back to his house to find Chu Yunxi. First, he asked her what happened with His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Brother Crown Prince!"
As soon as Princess Wantao saw Jun Lingyun, she knelt down.
"Please, save my mother and concubine."
She swallowed loudly, and Jun Lingyun frowned and stepped forward to pull her up.
"Don't worry, tell me carefully."
"Brother Emperor, Concubine Rong said that my mother-in-law had beaten the maid next to her to death. My father became furious and said that my mother-in-law was arrogant because of her favor, so he locked her up in the cold palace."
"Concubine Rong? The maid next to her is dead. What does it have to do with your mother and concubine?"
He had just been out of the palace for half a day when something happened.
Jun Lingyun remembered that Chu Yunxi once told him how restless Concubine Rong was while he was away from the capital. Now he actually extended his hand to Concubine Rou's palace.
"Xiu'er, who is next to Concubine Rong, collided with my mother and concubine but refused to give in. After all, my mother and concubine are my father's pillow, how can I let a palace maid ride on my head? I scolded her a few times."
Recalling the details of this matter, Princess Wantao's body trembled slightly.
"But that Xiu'er not only didn't admit her mistake and gave way, but also said that I was about to marry far away from my relatives, and my mother and concubine had no one to rely on. They, the honorable concubines, were about to be promoted to noble concubines, so that my mother and concubines would see me in the future.
Everyone in Concubine Rong's palace must take a detour."
The more she talked, the angrier she became. It was clearly the palace maid who had taken the initiative to provoke the mother and concubine. Why did the father not only not make the decision for the mother and concubine, but also punish the mother and concubine?
