Chapter 165 Infringement
After such a run, everyone's credit to the Royal Bank not only did not decrease but increased sharply, especially when the levy of taxes came and when the major merchants wanted to do business in partnership with the royal family, because the imperial court only recognized silver dollars, so these people had to come to exchange silver dollars.

However, Zhu Youxiao has made sure that the Royal Bank has a rule, and the exchange half a year ago was exempted from all procedures, but now the exchange has to charge a handling fee.
Of course, in order to take care of the people and prevent the people from having to pay additional handling fees to increase the burden when they exchange silver dollars for paying taxes, Zhu Youxiao asked the household department to write a letter, and the Royal Bank issued a notice that those with an exchange amount of less than 100,000 silver dollars and more than 100,000 yuan in the future can be exempted from handling fees.
The former is naturally to facilitate the people to exchange silver and pay taxes without causing them to suffer losses, while the latter is to promote the large households to exchange more silver dollars.
However, Zhu Youxiao's move has really benefited the people.
Moreover, once it was publicized in the newspapers and magazines, it was said that His Majesty was not only not competing with the people for profit, but was making profits with the people.
Some of the sensible ministers also wrote articles praising this matter, but some bureaucrats who also had big estates at home were very resentful, and they now had to exchange silver dollars if they wanted to do business with the royal family, and the exchange had to be exchanged for a large amount of more than 100,000 yuan, otherwise they had to pay a large sum of money, which forced them to accept silver dollars.
In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that Zhu Youxiao was at the beginning to make profits with the people, and now he is competing with the people for benefits.
In order to make the new currency silver dollar smoothly put into the market, Zhu Youxiao only wanted to earn the difference in the texture between the silver dollar and the sterling silver.
But who knows, in this way, there are several more miscellaneous expenses, first of all, the depositors withdraw the silver in advance, and then the handling fee when exchanging silver dollars, so that Zhu Youxiao also earned millions of taels of silver more than expected.
In order to show the help of the household department and other officials to the Royal Bank in this run crisis, Zhu Youxiao also allocated a small part of the extra rewards to these officials, and the hundred officials also received some rewards, but although most of them thanked His Majesty Long En on the surface, they were bitter in their hearts, because these were the silver that came out of their mouths.
Rich and powerful officials don't care about these extra rewards, but for some of the poorer low-level Beijing officials, it is a real benefit, and some officials even lament that they don't have to rely on pawns to get through the next month.
Even some officials who wrote articles in newspapers and periodicals in support of Zhu Youxiao's implementation of reforms or in support of the reform of the currency and the opening of banks and other benefits received a bonus almost equivalent to half a year's salary, which can be regarded as making some officials with flexible brains understand that if you follow Your Majesty's path at all times, Your Majesty will definitely give you benefits.
With the implementation of a series of measures to encourage the use of new currency, silver dollars began to gradually circulate in the market, and the gold and silver and other currencies on the market began to be recycled, and even treasure banknotes were also recycled, the financial order began to enter the right track, and the scale of the Royal Bank began to expand, and the reserve silver has exceeded 10 million, even more than the current Taicang.
At the same time, the Royal Bank began to lend money and encouraged merchants to borrow.
Because it is a royal brand, there are also many businessmen who do big business to borrow money from the Royal Bank, so that Zhu Youxiao has another income.
On the side of the Royal Industrial Company, as the silver mirrors or glass sold by the Royal Industrial Company were so popular, some red-eyed businessmen also began to follow the example of the Royal Industrial Company, and also plated the words "Royal Monopoly" and the special trademark of the Royal Industrial Company on some of the more exquisite goods, but completely ignored the latest notice issued by the Ministry of Household in late April of the eighth year of the Apocalypse.
The content of the notice is: From now on, new companies or workshops can register exclusive trademarks in the household department or the household of the state government's yamen, once the registration is successful, it will be protected by the government, and those who dare to steal it will be severely punished.
Shang Bao Si Cheng Liu Ming relied on the background of several bigwigs in the DPRK and China, and did not take the notice of the household department seriously, so he used the trademark of the Royal Industrial Company for sale without any scruples, and even deliberately reduced the price by half.
In this way, Liu Ming also made a lot of money, much more than those merchants who sold directly without a brand.
But not long after, an official from the household department came to the door, saying that he had stolen the trademark of the Royal Industries Company, and asked him to stop the infringement immediately.
Liu Ming didn't take it seriously, and told him that his father used to be the head of the household department, and now the household department official is still his father who pulled it up back then, and the head of the household department had to leave in disgrace.
This Liu Ming became more and more proud, and even directly began to imitate the high-end goods sold by the Royal Industry Company.
Gong Yonggu, the general director of the Royal Industrial Company, couldn't stand it anymore, so he personally went to reason with Shang Bao Sicheng, but Shang Bao Si Cheng Liu Ming ignored it.
In the end, Gong Yonggu went to find Wang Yu of Shuntian Mansion, Wang Yu had a very personal relationship with Liu Ming's father, and he didn't take this seriously, but just persuaded Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horse, to make a big thing a small thing, and a small matter, there is no need to worry about it, after all, in his opinion, people just used the name of "royal monopoly", and they didn't really use the royal things, which is not a big crime.
Seeing this, Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horses, had to go directly to see His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, as the person in charge of the Imperial Industrial Company, but he really realized the loss caused by Liu Ming's move to the Imperial Industrial Company, and he did not believe that the emperor did not care about this matter.
As he expected, Zhu Youxiao was furious when he heard about this, this registered trademark is a big deal that can make money, and the trademark registered through the household department means that it is protected by the government, how can it not be taken seriously, so how can some businessmen spend money to register trademarks in the future.
Zhu Youxiao called Guo Yunhou, the secretary of the household department, and Yin Wangyu of Shuntian Mansion into the palace and scolded them fiercely.
Although Guo Yunhou didn't understand why His Majesty Zhu Youxiao was angry about this incident, he would also shake the pot and directly explain that the household department had warned Liu Ming, and Gong Yuma, who was holding the title of the right attendant of the household department, also personally sent a note to Yin Wangyu of Shuntian Mansion, so it was only because of the inaction of Yin Wangyu of Shuntian Mansion that Liu Ming had been allowed to steal the trademark of the Royal Industrial Company until now, and it had nothing to do with the household department.
Wang Yu was crying out when he heard this, and he didn't expect this matter to be taken so seriously by His Majesty.
Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao only applied, and only punished him for half a year, and asked him to deal with this matter strictly.
Wang Yu was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly promised that this case of trademark theft would be strictly handled this time.
That night, Yin Wangyu of Shuntian Mansion sent a note to the Imperial History of the City Patrol overnight, preparing to directly use the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to take action against Liu Ming, so as to open the prelude to the handling of the first trademark infringement case in the Ming Dynasty.
