Chapter 733: The Golden Age
readx;
On the side of the treasure building, the situation has become more and more worrying, first the ministers impeached the treasure firm, and then it intensified, so that the entire Beijing division is panicked, especially the treasure building here Many people are also worried about this matter when they sit in the tea hall and eat tea, the firm and the treasure house are one, interdependent, and some people say that they want to let the firm be handed over to the imperial court for management, who knows if the treasure house will also be painted by the gourd?
Seeing this, some businessmen were more cautious, and it was clear that there was an urgent need for a lot of goods on the market, but even if the cautious businessmen had a lot of silver in their hands, they did not dare to invest the money, after all, everyone's money was not washed by the flood, and if they really wanted to invest all the money in building a workshop, who knew if the court would suddenly change its course, so it was better to be cautious.

Occasionally, a few people maintain an optimistic view, saying that Lian Guogong, Chengguo Gong, Ning Guogong, and Jian Changbo are all their own people, and even the crown prince is running for this matter, and the cabinet may not succeed.
In fact, the businessmen originally had a good impression of the cabinet from the heart, but they were wary of those nobles, after all, the officials would do things according to the rules no matter what, even if they were forcibly seized, at least they had to come up with a reason, but the ability of those nobles, everyone has not seen it, people are bullying others, what else can you do?
But after this time, these businessmen attacked the cabinet but they were all unscrupulous, to put it bluntly, now it is the cabinet that is blocking their financial path, seeing the white flowers and silver in front of them, but the cabinet is like a big Buddha in front of them, who do not scold him?
The same is true today, the businessmen are in other places The information comes quickly, but when it comes to the court, they only know that the court is talking today, but they are afraid that the matter will be cleared today, the merchants in this hall are like being dragged to the guillotine, one by one, like mourning and examining, it is said that the government and the opposition are very loud, even the Guozijian side is on the side of the cabinet, a few days ago there was news that it was to be on the bus to the book, things have become worse and worse, many businessmen even gave birth to the plan to sell the workshop, as long as the workshop is in, At present, the situation is uncertain, it is a great burden, if you are not careful, you will lose all your money, if you change the cash, it is easy to do.
Everyone is scrambling to discuss, in fact, when everyone speaks, there must be a little resentment, their fate is in the hands of others after all, after all, it is not very easy, their only hope now is only afraid of Liu Chengfeng, I hope that Lian Guogong has a way, otherwise the matter will be over.
There is also a small tearoom in the tearoom, and the people who can sit in this tearoom are some famous businessmen, all of whom are stomping their feet, and the business world is trembling characters, these seven or eight people are sitting together, and they are also sighing when they talk, and they are talking, a small guy outside came in quickly, and cautiously went to a fat-headed and big-eared businessman to whisper a few words in his ear, the businessman's face changed suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and then he said to everyone: "I'm afraid something is really going to happen." ”
Everyone couldn't help but snort.
The fat-headed and big-eared merchant said: "There is a team of guards escorting a father-in-law. ”
Everyone is even more nervous, since the father-in-law came, presumably it was to read the holy decree, and the guards came, both it was possible to protect the eunuch who passed the decree, but it was also to raid the treasure building, many people showed timidity on their faces, and sat down one by one, one of them stood up and said with a dashing voice: "Until now, if you can't come to the treasure building again, please cherish it." ”
Between the words, the mood of the people present became even lower, and many people's faces showed sad expressions.
Then, there was an uproar outside, everyone went out of the tea room to see, and saw many samurai in bright armor come in, these people are wearing bullfighting costumes, at a glance it is the people from the palace, and then a middle-aged eunuch came in under the support of the guards, the eunuch glanced at the hall, there are really a lot of people inside, the crowd is crowded, so crowded that the feet can't touch the ground, it is said that there are several courtyards inside, they are also overcrowded, and there are thousands of merchants here every day, There was a hint of envy in the eyes of this eunuch, there are now more than 20 branches in Jubaolou, if each one is of such a scale, how much money is paid by the merchants in this world every month, only God knows. It's no wonder that even the palace is rumored that Liu Chengfeng is the god of wealth, and it is easy to make other people's money, but it is not easy to make the world's businessmen willing to give you silver and say hello to you.
The eunuch thought about it, and didn't say anything more, and then said, "The holy decree has arrived, and you should listen to it." ”
The holy decree is a rare thing for most people, don't look at some people in the business world, but they have not received the will, everyone bowed down together, shouting: "Long live my emperor." ”
Hundreds of thousands of people fell to their knees, and the crowd was crowded, and this formation was not small.
The eunuch unfolded the holy decree, coughed, and then pulled his throat and said: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: There are now Jubao Firm and Jubaolou are the lifeblood of the country, and when they were prepared, they were all involved, and now there are people in the court who are not ashamed to say that they have canceled it, causing suspicion and discussion among businessmen all over the world, and there are many discussions, as the Son of Heaven, how can I compete with the people for profit, and how can I listen to the slander of people and put you to death, although you are businessmen, engaged in cheap business, but there are countless living people, how can I bear to hurt ......"
“…… Edict to the world, Jubao firm, Jubao Lou extremely money, etc., no one is allowed to act rashly, I issue this edict, so that the world hears it, to calm the hearts of the people, you and so carefully engage in business, abide by the law......"
After reading the decree, the eunuch handed it over to the guards beside him, but it had already been framed, and the guards carefully handled it, and then hung it directly above the hall.
At first, these hundreds and thousands of merchants thought that the imperial court had come to seal the treasure building, but when they heard the content of the holy decree, they were stunned one by one, and the emperor promulgated this decree, and actually encouraged the merchants, and even said that as long as the business house and the treasure building must not be interfered with by anyone, if someone in the court mentions the matter of returning to the imperial court, the case will be punished, and future generations will not be allowed to change their course at will. Does not this mean...... These businessmen can finally raise their eyebrows, finally get rid of their cheap business, and officially get recognized by the imperial court. From now on, they don't have to worry about the court changing its course, saying that if they are finished, they will be finished?
However, in front of the eunuchs and guards, no one dared to be presumptuous, and when these people left, the entire Jubaolou suddenly thundered with joy and made noise for a long time, and then everyone calmed down, and now there are no worries, and the top priority is to let Qian give birth to money. It is useless for money to exist in the cellar, it exists in it, money is always so much money, and there is a great danger of depreciation, especially gold and silver, because the merchant houses transport back the gold and silver of various countries every year, which has led to the depreciation of gold and silver a lot, and now the silver of all countries in the world is flowing to the Ming Dynasty, and silver is naturally not rare, so in this case, it is useless to simply save money, real money and silver are stable, but in this era, because commerce and trade have just emerged, The market of the Ming Dynasty is terrifyingly large, so basically as long as you invest something, you can make money after all.
Therefore, the merchants suddenly became energetic, and some went to the Jubao Money Village, ready to make a loan, and then took the silver to set up several workshops. There are also directly take the cash of the family, but also plan to expand the scale of some business, now there are so many businessmen, the competition is also big, everyone knows, everything must be fast, you are one step faster than others, you will earn more money than others, no worries, the worst result is just a loss in business, but now everything is in short supply, this probability is too small.
After a stimulus of the holy decree, the businessmen are like playing chicken blood, only the treasure money village here, between the three days of the loan to tens of millions of taels of silver, the whole money village has to look for people to save, the interest on the loan is also rising again and again, from three points to five points per month, still can not stop this enthusiasm, the money village had to raise the threshold, the person who sued the loan has raised a lot of standards, but there is still no way, So much so that the big shopkeeper of this money village had to go to Liu Chengfeng for help, and Liu Chengfeng had to smile bitterly at him and said, "At this time, who still has cash?" Even the most unpromising businessmen are now taking the money to buy land, so let's do it, it really can't be done, I have more than a million silver at home, and I can use it for the time being. ”
More than one million is really a drop in the bucket, Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed again, and said: "But then again, if you lend money to Jubao Qianzhuang, how much interest can you have?" ”
Qian Zhuang lends money to others for interest, and now since he lends money to you Qian Zhuang, he always has to ask for interest, Liu Chengfeng asked, it is reasonable.
The big shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "There is no cash in the money village now, and it is a trivial matter to lend money or not, so you have to keep some silver in reserve. ”
The monthly interest rate is three cents, if it is 10 million taels of silver, this month is equivalent to a net income of 300,000 taels of silver, and in a year, it is 3 million.
However, Liu Chengfeng was also satisfied, thought about it, and said: "Okay, this matter is on me, I'll think of a way." ”
