Chapter 254: As the sun rises

After greeting for a while, Zhu Youzhu seemed to be interested, and mentioned the matter of the treasure building again. ()

Jubaolou, after all, the palace accounts for the majority, on the surface, the prince has the most shares, but the prince can only receive a monthly dividend of five hundred taels of silver, and a large amount of silver is still sent to the palace.

Zhu Youzhu is not a fool, what virtue does the prince have, how can he not know? Now that he is given so much silver to spend, it is also how much he spends, and of course the palace has to 'temporarily store' it.

A few days ago, Jubaolou had already sent 270,000 taels of silver into the inner treasury.

This figure is really staggering, Zhu Youzhu obviously couldn't imagine that the monthly income of Jubaolou is much more than the annual salt and iron tax.

In order to make a fuss about salt and iron, the palace did not know how many eunuchs were sent to guard the town, and how many public grievances were aroused, who would have thought that there was such a lucrative business in the world?

In the past few months, the treasure building has been built in various places, and now there are six main branch buildings, one in Liaodong, one in Hangzhou, one in Beitongzhou, one in Xi'an, and the other is in Chengdu Mansion, and the businessmen who have obtained membership have exceeded 20,000, it is said that there are tens of thousands of applications, so many people, the monthly membership fee alone is 200,000 yuan, as well as the expenses of eating tea, entertainment, and consulting lawyers, and the profit of a month is more than 400,000 taels of silver, excluding expenses, the profit is still more than 300,000 yuan, The palace took the lion's head, which was 270,000 taels of silver.

Zhu Youzhu originally thought that it was very rare to have 100,000 taels of silver in the warehouse every year, but seeing that the silver in the inner treasury was piling up all of a sudden, it would be false if he was not excited.

It is 270,000 taels of silver a month, and it is more than 3 million a year, which has exceeded the income of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Youzhu understands in his heart that this little silver in front of him is only the tip of the iceberg, and the current members are only 20,000......

When Liu Chengfeng said this, he began to talk about his thoughts: "Your Majesty, Jubaolou has received more than seventy applications, but these applications are a bit troublesome. ”

"Oh?" When it comes to the treasure building, Zhu Youzhu seems to be dancing with his eyebrows, the Ming Dynasty lacks nothing, except for one thing, that is, money.

With money, Zhu Youzhu can almost imagine that no matter what he does, he has a lot of confidence.

For example, war, according to Zhu Youzhang's thoughts, do you really not want to be a monarch who expands his territory? Wrong, this*, no one is stronger than Zhu Youjiao, and he concentrates on civil governance, just because he knows that he must be patient, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, the treasury was abundant, and as a result, the war against the Xiongnu lasted for decades, and the treasury was empty, and he had to hit the idea of salt and iron, Zhu Youzhu must know how to restrain himself, after all, the military salary of the border army can not be paid in full every year, in this case, isn't it uncomfortable to start a war?

But now it's different, now it's three million a year, who knows how many in the future? Liu Chengfeng's treasure building gave Zhu Youzhu great encouragement.

Now Liu Chengfeng talked about the strange events that happened in Jubaolou, Zhu Youzhu had to listen attentively, Jubaolou and Liu Chengfeng are too important, this is a matter of grace for future generations, compared to the name of a holy monarch, Zhu Youzhang can handle the weight, it can be said that Jubaolou has a transcendent status in Zhu Youzhang's mind. Jubaolou's every move, he naturally paid great attention: "If there is any trouble, just talk to me." Zhu Youjiao's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, his face was covered with frost, and he almost sneered: "Whoever dares to cause trouble to Jubaolou is no different from rebellion, and I will never spare it." ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled, this emperor was too nervous, but after thinking about it, he understood that Zhu Youzhu was short of money, extremely short of money, and now the benefits brought by Jubaolou have exceeded his imagination, such a big shelf in the imperial court, the annual tax is only two or three million taels of silver, and Jubaolou Caochuang has just started, and there is a faint tendency to exceed the annual income, so it is strange that Zhu Youzhu is not nervous. …,

After laughing, Liu Chengfeng said: "Your Majesty, it's not that someone is looking for trouble, but there is another trouble, these more than 70 applications are all foreign businessmen, including Dashi, Annan, Joseon, Wa, etc., they come here, hoping to also apply to join the membership of Jubaolou, but to review their membership, after all, there are some troubles." ”

Zhu Youzhu understood, he didn't expect that it had only been a few months, and even businessmen from outside the fan had come to join in the fun, and for a while, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but say: "What do you think?" ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "The members of the treasure building pay attention to credit, so the foreign businessmen may not have this demand, Wei Chen is thinking, for some feudal countries, can you also let the Ministry of Rites negotiate with them, and open the treasure building to the feudal country, not only to earn the silver of our Ming merchants, but also to let go of the foreign merchants, the size of the mosquito is also a piece of meat, not to mention that many feudal countries are based on commerce and trade, but the profit is not small." ”

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Chengfeng's suggestion was not bad, he would occasionally watch some strange things, and he also knew that many feudal states were founded on commerce and trade, and there were many merchants, and some even ran business at sea thousands of miles away, and the fleet of these people was said to be not small, if they could......

When it comes to doing business, Liu Chengfeng is indeed a good hand, and every once in a while, there are always some whims.

However, these ideas will not be possible without the support of Zhu Youjiao, after all, they are out of the Ming Dynasty, if they do not borrow the influence of the imperial court and go outside, they are afraid that even the bones will be gnawed away. Now Liu Chengfeng's idea can only hit the head of the feudal state, which is equivalent to using the treasure tower to tax the merchants of the feudal state.

In order to move Zhu Youzhang, Liu Chengfeng used all his solutions, and finally threw out a killer move, saying: "Your Majesty, think about it, the more businessmen who join the members of Jubaolou, the more beneficial it will be, according to Weichen's estimate, the merchants who can join the members in the Ming Dynasty are roughly around 100,000, but if you add extra, if you work hard, it is enough to break through more than 100,000, or even 150,000 members, even if Jubaolou does not add other businesses, the monthly profit alone is only afraid to be more than two million taels of silver, and once Jubaolou is promoted, Your Majesty can imagine that in the future, all the merchants in the world, whether they are Ming or Koreans, Japanese or Annamite, will trade with people with the silver tickets of Jubaolou, and the money of the Ming Dynasty will pass through the world. ”

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, of course he understood the stakes, and couldn't help but say: "This matter, I will discuss it with the household department, don't be in a hurry in everything, but your idea is really good." ”

Zhu Youzhang was shocked by the annual profit of nearly 20 million taels of silver, since Liu Chengfeng said it so surely, according to Zhu Youzhang's understanding of Liu Chengfeng, this guy will never be full of words, he said that he made a profit of two million taels of silver a month, then this number will only be more and not less, this number has exceeded Zhu Youzhang's understanding, too much...... It's a bit unusual, a year's profit is close to the income of the imperial court for ten years, that is to say, he has worked hard for ten years, and he has not earned much in a year from Jubaolou.

Liu Chengfeng knew that the so-called agricultural tax could be compared with the hidden commercial tax of Jubaolou? The appearance of the treasure building will certainly speed up the circulation of goods, resulting in a slight drop in prices, and even break the self-sufficient small peasant economy in many places, ordinary farmers to weave a piece of cloth to spend half a month, the cost of materials is also expensive, but the accelerated circulation of goods, resulting in the increase of workshops, and the increase of workshops, there will be large-scale production, large-scale production requires a lot of labor, small profits and quick sales will become the mainstream of the future, some fairly wealthy farmers are afraid that they would rather buy ready-made cloth, I don't want to waste this labor weaving at home. After all, with this manpower, it is better to go to silk spinning to work, with the wages of this work, what cloth can't be bought? …,

Liu Chengfeng now wants to ponder how to make a huge amount of silver, as long as the business is slowly spreading, let alone 20 million taels of silver a year, it is not impossible to say that it is 50 million.

However, there are some words, of course, he can't say too much, otherwise if he doesn't meet expectations in the future, he will definitely disappoint the emperor, not to mention that the profit of 20 million taels of silver is enough for Zhu Youzhu to smile happily.

Liu Chengfeng said: "Your Majesty is right, everything can't be rushed, Jubaolou will start from Daming for the time being, and slowly expand out, but since Your Majesty agrees, shouldn't Weichen first train some people, find some interpreters who are proficient in the Chinese language, and work hard to train them, so as to save temporary cramming in the future?" ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Take precautions, this is a good thing, you can prepare first, and I will try to make it convenient for you." ”

Zhu Youzhu glanced at Liu Chengfeng, only felt that Liu Chengfeng was like a golden mountain, the more he looked at it, the more cute it became, and then he thought that Liu Chengfeng was about to go to Lianzhou, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, this guy is so aware of the holy will, this trip to Lianzhou is only afraid that he will have to suffer a lot, and there are many dangers. Who does the prince rely on to guide him? Not to mention the remnants of the Ming Sect.

Zhu Youzhu said lightly: "The matter of the treasure building, you can put it aside for the time being, and the right is to go to Lianzhou on my behalf to take a look, I plan to send a team of guards to Lianzhou with you, and there will be a good response on the way." He caressed the case, as if wondering what to send.
