After a while of greeting, Zhu Youzhang seemed very excited and mentioned the matter of Jubaolou. Qi Shuwu has no pop-up windows
Jubao Building, the palace has occupied a large part of the capital. On the surface, the prince invested the most, but the prince could receive only 500 taels of silver every month, and the large amount of money was still sent to the palace.
Zhu Youzhang is not a fool. How could he not know what the prince is doing? Now that he has paid so much money, he will spend as much as he wants. Of course, it is necessary to "stage storage" in the palace.
A few days ago, Jubao Building had already sent 270,000 taels of silver into the inner warehouse.
This number is really shocking. Zhu Youxuan obviously didn't expect that Jubaolou's monthly income was no less than the annual salt and iron tax.
In order to make a fuss about salt and iron, the palace sent many eunuchs to the custodial court, which caused so much public grievance. Who would have thought that there was such a huge profitable business in the world?
In the past few months, Jubao Buildings have been built in various places. There are now six main sub-buildings, one in Liaodong, one in Hangzhou, one in Beitongzhou, one in Xi'an, and the other in Chengdu Prefecture to obtain membership
The merchants have exceeded 20,000 yuan, and it is said that there are still tens of thousands of applications. There are so many investments, and the monthly membership fee is 200,000 yuan. There are also tea, entertainment, and asking lawyers for expenses. The profit per month is
More than 400,000 taels of silver were exceeded, and after expenses, the profit was still more than 300,000. The palace took a big head, which was 270,000 taels of silver.
Zhu Youzhang originally thought that it would be very rare to have 100,000 taels of silver put into the warehouse every year, but seeing that the silver in the warehouse suddenly piled up like a mountain, it would be fake if he was not excited.
One month is 270,000 taels of silver, and one year is more than three million, which is more than the Ming Dynasty’s annual income. However, Zhu Youting knew in his heart that the little money in front of him was just the tip of the iceberg, and the current members are only 20,000.
, With time, there will only be more and more members. In addition, the profit and convenience brought by Jubaolou Money House will greatly stimulate the expansion of Jubaolou, and even... Liu Chengfeng started talking about it.
My own thoughts: "Your Majesty, Jubaolou has received more than 70 applications, but these applications are a bit troublesome."
"Oh?" When talking about Jubao Tower, Zhu Youzhang seemed to be full of elegance. In the Ming Dynasty, there was nothing missing, but the only thing was money.
With money, Zhu Youzhang could almost imagine that no matter what he did, he had a lot of confidence.
For example, war, according to Zhu Youting's thoughts, do you really want to be the monarch who expands territory? Wrong, no one is stronger than Zhu Youting, and he devoted himself to civil governance just because he knew that he had to endure it.
When Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, the treasury was abundant. As a result, after decades of war against the Huns, they all fought the treasury empty and had to take the idea of salt and iron. Zhu Youzhang must know how to restrain himself, and he will compete every year.
The military's military pay cannot be paid in full. Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to start a war?
But now it’s different. Now it’s three million a year. Who knows how many will be in the future? Liu Chengfeng’s Jubao Building gave Zhu Youzhang great encouragement.
Now Liu Chengfeng talks about the strange incidents that happened in Jubao Tower, Zhu Youting has to listen carefully. Jubao Tower and Liu Chengfeng are too important. This is a matter of grace for generations. Compared to the name of a saint, Zhu Youting takes care of it.
It can be said that Jubaolou has a unique position in Zhu Youting's mind. He naturally paid great attention to Jubaolou's every move: "If you have any trouble, just tell me." Zhu Youting's eyebrows couldn't help but frown.
His face was covered with frost, and he almost sneered, "Who dares to cause trouble for Jubaolou is no different from treason, I will never let it go."
Liu Chengfeng smiled. The emperor was too nervous, but after thinking about it, you will understand that Zhu Youting was short of money and was extremely short of money. Now the benefits brought by Jubaolou have exceeded his imagination. The court is so
With a big air, the annual tax is only 200 million taels of silver. Jubaolou has just started and has a vague trend of exceeding the annual income. It would be strange if Zhu Youting is not nervous.
After laughing, Liu Chengfeng said, "Your Majesty, it's not that you come to make trouble, but that you have another problem. These more than 70 applications are all foreign merchants, including Dashi, Annan, North Korea, and Japan.
Wait, they came here to see the name, hoping to apply for membership in Jubaolou, but they have to review their Baishao membership, so Bi Jing has some trouble."
Zhu Youzhang understood, but unexpectedly, in just a few months, even the extra merchants came to join in the fun. For a moment, Zhu Youzhang couldn't help but say, "What do you think?"
Liu Chengfeng said seriously: "The members of Jubao Building pay attention to credit, so foreign merchants may not have this need. Wei Chen was wondering whether the Ministry of Rites can also let the Ministry of Rites negotiate with them and make Jubao.
When you go to the vassal state, you not only have to earn the money from our Ming merchants, but you should not let go of the extra merchants. The size of mosquitoes is also a piece of meat. What's more, many vassal states originally built on trade, but the profit is not
Small."
Zhu Youzhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Liu Chengfeng's suggestion was good. He would occasionally watch some strange stories and know that many vassal states built on trade, with many merchants, and some were not even far away.
Running business on the sea thousands of miles away, these fleets are said to be quite large. If they can... if they do business, Liu Chengfeng is indeed a good player. Every once in a while, he will always have some sudden ideas.
However, these ideas would not be possible without Zhu Youting's support. Bi Jing walked out of the Ming Dynasty. If he did not borrow the influence of the court and went outside, he would be afraid that even his bones would be gnawed. Now Liu Cheng
Feng's idea can only be on the vassal states, which is equivalent to using Jubaolou to collect taxes from merchants in the vassal states.
In order to motivate Zhu Youzhang, Liu Chengfeng used all his skills and finally threw out his killer move, saying: "Your Majesty think about it, the more merchants joining Jubaolou, the more beneficial it will be. According to Weichen's estimate
The merchants who could join members in the Ming Dynasty were roughly around 100,000, but if they added extras, if they worked hard, they would be enough to exceed 100,000 or even 150,000 members. Even if Jubaolou did not add other businesses,
This monthly profit is probably more than two million taels of silver. Once Jubao Building is promoted, Jubao Money House's business will also expand. Your Majesty can imagine that in the future, all business investment will be lost, no matter how it is
Whether it is Ming or Korean, Japanese or Annan, they will trade with the silver notes from Jubaolou, and the Ming Dynasty money will be passed away."
Zhu Youzhang was moved when he heard this. Of course he understood the interests of this and couldn't help but say: "I will discuss this with the Ministry of Revenue. Don't rush everything, and try it slowly, but your idea is really good.
.”
Zhu Youzhang was shocked by the profit of nearly 20 million taels of silver every year. Since Liu Chengfeng said so surely, based on Zhu Youzhang's understanding of Liu Chengfeng, this guy never talked all over his words, he said one
The monthly profit of 2 million taels of silver is only more or less. This number has exceeded Zhu Youting's understanding, too much... so many are a bit unreasonable. The profit in a year has been close to ten years since the imperial court.
In other words, he has worked hard for ten years and has not earned much more in Jubaolou in a year.
Liu Chengfeng knew that how could the so-called agricultural tax be compared with the hidden commercial tax of Jubao Building? The emergence of Jubao Building will certainly accelerate the circulation of goods, resulting in a slight decline in prices, and even break the self-sufficiency of small peasant economies in many places.
It takes half a month for ordinary farmers to weave a piece of cloth, and the materials are also expensive. However, the accelerated circulation of goods has led to an increase in workshops. The increase in workshops will lead to large-scale production and large-scale production.
Production requires a lot of work, small profits but quick turnover will become the mainstream in the future. Some wealthy farmers are afraid that they would rather buy ready-made cloth than waste the work weaving cloth at home.
It’s better to use silk spinning to do this work. With the money for this work, what kind of cloth can’t be bought?
With the emergence of consumption, more and more business investment will appear, and many wealthy people will appear. What Liu Chengfeng has to think about now is how to make money from wealthy people, as long as various businesses are slowly expanded,
Not to mention twenty million taels of silver a year, even fifty million is not impossible.
However, he certainly could not say some things too much, otherwise if he did not meet expectations in the future, he would definitely disappoint the emperor, not to mention that the profit of 20 million taels of silver was enough for Zhu Youzhang to smile happily.
Liu Chengfeng said: "Your Majesty is right. You can't be too hasty in everything. Jubaolou has temporarily started from the Ming Dynasty and slowly expands. However, since Your Majesty agrees, should I start with some training and find some proficient in the language of the vassal states.
I will try my best to train my translations, so I will avoid cramming in the future?”
Zhu Youzhe said: "Preparing for the future is a good thing. You can prepare for it first, and I will try my best to give you convenience."
Zhu Youzhang looked at Liu Chengfeng and felt that Liu Chengfeng was like a mountain of gold. The more he looked, the more he became, the more cute he became. Then he thought that Liu Chengfeng was about to go to Lianzhou, and he felt a little reluctant. This guy felt so sage.
I mean, this trip to Lianzhou will have to suffer a lot, and there will be many dangers. If there is a mistake, who will take care of Jubaolou? Who will take guidance from the prince? Not to mention the remnants of the Ming Cult
It's right.
Zhu Youzing said lightly: "You can let go of the matter of Jubaolou for the time being. Please go to Lianzhou for a walk on my behalf. I plan to draw a team of guards to go to Lianzhou with you. It's good on the way.
There is a way to take care of him." He stroked the desk, as if he was thinking about what was appropriate to send in.
