Chapter 164: Getting Rich Overnight
Early in the morning, the sun rises in the east.
After a night of clouds and rain, Mu Guiying's face was ruddy, and she lay lazily in Lu Bu's arms.
A dazzling light came from the window, illuminating the whole room and glowing golden.
Lu Bu woke up and gave Mu Guiying a wet kiss. Then let the maids come in and wait for the change.
"Why don't you sleep more?"
"I have to go to the bank to see how much copper money I exchanged last night."
Lu Bu walked out of the quilt, put on his clothes with the help of the maids, and said: "You also go to the school to have a look, select the Danyang soldiers in advance, and after the soldiers and horses of the counties return to Shouchun, I will order that all the elite Danyang soldiers will be led by you." ”
"Oh."
Mu Guiying responded. She didn't think it was unusual, or rather, she expected it.
Lu Bu packed up, washed, eaten, and went to the bank.
The bank, inside and out, is full of people. Twenty lines, from the halls of the bank, stretched far into the streets.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lu Bu's face.
The inner hall of the bank.
Churchill was busy all night, and he was already tired and lay down.
There are six bookkeepers next to it, who record the bank's income in real time.
Lu Bu walked over and knocked on the table: "Wake up, wake up..." ”
"My lord."
Churchill opened his eyes and saw that it was Lu Bu, and quickly got up and saluted.
"How's it going, how much copper money did you collect last night?" Lu Bu asked.
Churchill turned around, glanced at the bookkeeping books in front of the six bookkeepers, and then replied to Lu Bu: "My lord, from yesterday evening to now, a total of 113,000,000 copper coins have been collected. ”
Eleven thousand three million is one hundred and thirteen million!
Zhao Hao was startled at first, and then smiled: "Did you not wake up?" Can you collect more than 100 million in one night? ”
"Back to the lord, it's indeed 113 million, there's nothing wrong with it."
"You guys, count it again." Lu Bu walked over and said to the six settling gentlemen.
"No."
Lu Bu didn't believe that he could collect more than 100 million yuan in one night. Moreover, Churchill just now casually glanced at the six bookkeeping books, and the total number was calculated. The speed of this settlement is too fast.
"Back to the lord, Steward Qiu is right, it is indeed 113 million." After a while, a reckoning gentleman reported.
Lu Bu was shocked, and said in his heart: "He is worthy of being the champion of the scientific examination, and he has some ability." ”
"How can there be so many? I remember the day before yesterday it was 14 million. Lu Bu asked.
Churchey smiled and said, "The lord doesn't know anything. The people who came to exchange paper money the day before yesterday were lucky and did not exchange all the copper coins. Many people took ten copper plates, a hundred and ten copper plates, and the maximum was no more than a thousand copper plates. And the people who came to exchange paper money last night gave up the idea of using copper coins and exchanged all copper coins... ”
Speaking of this, Churchill picked up an account book, turned to one of the pages, and said: "My lord, please see, there are many shops and restaurant owners, all of whom have exchanged millions of copper coins. ”
"I see."
Lu Bu looked abrupt and said with a smile: "I don't know how many copper coins there are in the entire Shouchun City?" ”
"According to the estimates of the lowly position, there should be about 450 million."
"Are there so many?"
"Yes!"
Lu Bu fell into deep thought. He suddenly understood something. No wonder the prices in the late Han Dynasty were so expensive, a good horse cost 200,000 yuan, and a good restaurant cost 1 million yuan. It must be the princes of all walks of life, crazy coinage, resulting in the flood of copper coins and inflation.
Lu Bu made up his mind that after the issuance of banknotes, the quantity should be controlled and absolutely not overflowing.
"I heard that there is a lack of money for the renovation of Beicheng?"
"Well, this can't be delayed."
Lu Bu came back to his senses and ordered: "Within two days, we will gather enough 180 million." I'll send someone to fetch it. ”
"No."
Leaving the bank, Lu Bu went to Lichun Courtyard.
Pan Jinlian is the chief manager of the entire Lu Bu Group, Xu Yang's brothels in the two states, in charge of large and small brothels, and is also responsible for spying on the intelligence of various princes, selling fairy wine, and the first paper in the world.
It seems like there are a lot of things to do, but there is nothing to be busy with.
Especially after arriving in Yangzhou, there are more people under him, as long as he is instructed. Wait for the news from the states and counties to come back, select the valuable ones, and send them to the Assassin's Mansion.
After having a relationship with Lu Bu, she was Lu Bu's wife, although it was not announced, she always thought so in her heart. Therefore, she kept herself clean, never showed her face, and handed over all the big and small things in the brothel to the most trusted maidservant to deal with.
Even the people in the brothel, many of them didn't know about her existence.
Private room on the second floor.
As soon as Pan Jinlian had finished processing the information sent by the prefectures and counties, she heard Lu Bu's voice coming from outside the house.
Pan Jinlian stood up, ran a few steps forward, and said excitedly, "Let him come in." ”
As she said this, she walked over to a bronze mirror and combed her hair.
Lu Bu entered the room and asked suspiciously: "Why do the people in Lichun Courtyard say they don't know you?" ”
Pan Jinlian said: "People who know me have been transferred. Now in the entire Lichun Courtyard, only my maid Caihong knows me. ”
"Why are they being transferred?" Lu Bu sat slowly.
Pan Jinlian stepped forward, poured wine for Lu Bu, and said, "I don't want to show my head again." I don't want people to know that I live in Lichunyuan. ”
Lu Bu nodded and said with a smile: "I came here today to tell you good news. It allows you to leave Reishun-in and live somewhere else. It can also manage the industries of the states and counties. ”
said that the brothel was too ugly, and Lu Bu changed the name.
"What's the good news?" Hearing that she could leave the brothel, Pan Jinlian asked happily.
Lu Bu said: "Now the construction of Beicheng is about to come to an end. After the renovation of Beicheng, there will be many paper mills, distilleries, furniture factories, ceramic factories... There are also Nancheng printing houses, newspapers and periodicals, etc. Everything that is produced in these places needs to be sold. You should have a dedicated place to handle these things. I decided to set up a department called the 'Huainan Chamber of Commerce', and you are the president of the Chamber of Commerce, which is in charge of sales... ”
"Great."
After Lu Bu finished speaking, Pan Jinlian was overjoyed: "Brother Fengxian, I will definitely do a good job." ”
"Well, I also believe that you can do a good job."
Lu Budao: "In order to make it easier for you to go to the Thorn History Mansion, I built the 'Huainan Chamber of Commerce' next to the Thorn History Mansion. After you deal with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, you can go directly to the Thorn Mansion, and then live in the Thorn Mansion. ”
"Thank you, Brother Fengxian." Pan Jinlian was excited. She's finally qualified to live in the Assassin's Mansion!
"One more thing..." Lu Bu asked: "How has the intelligence network of the prefectures and counties been established now?" Is there any news of Cao Cao and Liu Bei? What is Yuan Shao's attitude? Will there be a southern expedition in a short period of time? ”
