The royal property is not too much!

In addition to the inherent Huangzhuang and Huangdian, the Royal Bank is also a private property of Zhang Lingyang.

The annual income of the bank alone is an astronomical amount.

Not to mention, there is also a commercial supervisor in the 24th Yamen, who specializes in commercial activities, and earns millions of taels of silver every year.

With the Royal Bank and the Commercial Superintendent, Zhang Lingyang has enough confidence not to spend a penny of silver from the treasury.

What's more, the royal estate is not just the Royal Bank and the Superintendent of Commerce!

Just like the current Firearms Division, when it was first established, it was also Zhang Lingyang's private industry.

Although it was later under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, the royal family still held a large part of the shares in it.

There are also many industrial and mining enterprises, in order to avoid the trouble of the imperial court at the beginning, Zhang Lingyang also started to invest in the construction first.

Today, these industrial and mining enterprises are still under the royal name.

Especially those mineral resources.

Although with the implementation of industrialization, the imperial court also saw the benefits of starting a business, and even repeatedly banned private mining.

But is Zhang Lingyang an ordinary person? Is Royal an ordinary person?

So over time, in the mineral industry, the vast majority was directly controlled by the imperial court, and the remaining small part naturally became Zhang Lingyang's private industry.

Not only that, Zhang Lingyang also made the same layout in the vassal country.

Just like in Myanmar, the fief of the third prince Zhao Xu, in addition to a small part of Burma's financial revenue handed over to the Great Zhou court, the rest was naturally retained by the Burmese vassal state itself.

However, Zhang Lingyang designated that the three largest jade mining areas in Myanmar belonged to the private property of the third prince Zhao Xu, and Cao Guifei, the biological mother of the third prince, directly sent someone to manage it.

In Borneo, the fief of the second prince Zhao Han, Zhang Lingyang designated Zhao Han's private property as a rubber industry and several mineral resources.

After all, the role of rubber is not too big now, and only after the birth of the internal combustion engine will the role of rubber be taken seriously.

Therefore, Zhang Lingyang must give Zhao Han a certain source of income.

In Luzon, the fiefdom of the Four Princes, Zhang Lingyang's private properties designated to the Four Princes were copper and gold mines.

As for the former crown prince, now Zhao Hao, the king of Da'an, Zhang Lingyang designated his private property as an iron ore in Anzhou.

Moreover, Zhang Lingyang also gave an ancestral teaching, that is, all the properties that are rewarded must not be sold by any descendants.

In this way, no matter how the situation changes in the future, the princes and their children and grandchildren will at least not have to worry about the matter of silver.

Of course, even if the princes want to sell their property, they must first have the courage to do so.

In addition, other people must have the courage to buy, and they must have sufficient funds to buy!

And Zhang Lingyang's actions were actually accepted by the imperial court.

In the words of Zheng Yongji, the first assistant to the cabinet, "Your Majesty does have a certain amount of selfishness, but the advantage of doing so is obvious, that is, in this way, the finances of the royal family and the finances of the imperial court can be regarded as distinct."

In the future, no matter who inherits the throne, he can no longer think of asking the treasury for money.

From this point of view, it is beneficial to both the imperial court and the people of the Great Zhou. ”

The emperors of all dynasties, whether they were holy lords or faint monarchs, usually did not distinguish between public and private in the use of silver, and even once regarded the money in the treasury as their own private treasury, and spent it as much as they wanted.

Now, as long as this system is decided, it will be a matter of nothing for the emperors to take money from the treasury in the future.

If there is any minister who dares to open this opening and withdraw the silver of the treasury for the Son of Heaven, it is a traitorous minister, and that is a minister!

is Li Guangtai, the imperial history of the left capital, who has always been more upright, and he also strongly supports this matter.

As long as you are a discerning person, you can see at a glance how much benefit this system will be to the imperial court as long as it is implemented.

Of course, this is not to say that the imperial court will no longer provide silver to the royal family in the future.

The silver still has to be given, but is it only in this amount?

The prince received a lot of silver, and it was less than a thousand taels of silver a year.

It was the emperor himself, after Zhang Lingyang and the six departments and Jiuqing's bargaining, and finally decided to pay 30,000 taels of silver to the emperor himself every month, even if it was the salary paid by the imperial court to the emperor!

30,000 taels of silver a month, 360,000 taels of silver a year.

If it was the early years of Tai'an, it would be enough for the expenses in the palace.

But this is no longer the time of the early years of Tai'an.

At that time, the annual tax of the imperial court was only four or five million taels of silver, so whether it was the royal family or the people below, life was very poor.

But what about now?

At this time, the annual financial income of the imperial court has exceeded 30,000 taels of silver.

And the royal expenses are also increasing with the strengthening of the country.

Now, the monthly expenses in the palace exceed 100,000 taels of silver.

The food is full of delicacies, and the royal concubines' clothes are more gorgeous than one another, and the jewelry and ornaments in the palace are more expensive than one another, and the silver spent will naturally increase.

But fortunately, although Zhang Lingyang has no business acumen, after all, standing at a certain historical height, he naturally knows a lot of money-making businesses.

Otherwise, Zhang Lingyang really can't afford to raise these concubines in the harem.

Regarding the concubines who are now spending money like flowing water, Zhang Lingyang did not criticize anything.

are all their own women, and Zhang Lingyang himself is not only that little bit of silver now, if he still criticizes anything at this point, it will be too petty.

Now all the businesses run by the royal family have brought Zhang Lingyang a net profit of more than two million taels of silver in a month, so it is nothing for his women to spend such a little silver every month.

No one has made detailed statistics, but according to the private discussion between Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household department, they came to an astonishing conclusion: that is, now, the silver deposit of the Son of Heaven has exceeded 10,000 taels of silver.

Isn't it amazing?

Isn't it a surprise?

Actually, it's not surprising at all.

Originally, when Zhang Lingyang had just ascended to the throne, he had a family foundation of 30 million taels of silver.

And the net income brought by the Royal Bank to Zhang Lingyang in a year is no less than five million taels of silver.

More than ten years have passed, and the income brought by the Royal Bank to Zhang Lingyang is at least more than 50 million taels of silver.

It's just a conservative number.

After all, as time went on, so did the business that Royal Bank developed.

If you add the annual income of the commercial supervisor, then the deposit of silver in the internal treasury exceeds 10,000 taels, which is naturally not an unbelievable thing......
