Chapter 192: Dragon Yan Dayue
In the bamboo forest Yasu courtyard.
Although it is winter, the yard is full of plum blossoms, located in an attic deep in the citrus, the lights are shining, and the charcoal fire placed in the copper basin on the side is burning red, steaming with a trace of heat.
The patterns woven on the big food carpet make people feel warm, and the picture of the lady is painted against the screen in the corner, and the girl in the picture is slim and elegant, soaring through the clouds and fog, like Luo Shen in the world.
The tables and chairs are made of fine sandalwood, thick and woody, and because they have just been trimmed, there is even a faint smell of varnish in the air.
Zhu Youzhu sat on the sandalwood chair, slowly bowing his head and drinking tea, Empress Zhang sat beside Zhu Youzhuan with a smile, a pair of phoenix eyes, but looked at Liu Chengfeng below.
Liu Chengfeng sat opposite, talking endlessly about his ideas, and from the attic window through the gap in the trees, it was enough to see the bustling scene on the side of the treasure building, which also confirmed his whimsy.
As for the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling sitting on the side, they have changed from the initial apprehension to surprise. I thought that this time I would lose face and laugh for my sister and brother-in-law in front of them. Who knew that Liu Chengfeng's hand was a great success, when he heard that it would cost ten taels of silver to enter the door, and a pot of tea would cost ten taels or twenty taels, but the cost in this attic would cost more than five hundred taels of silver, and the Zhang Heling brothers could even foresee that they planted it and planted it thoroughly, this Liu Chengfeng was a madman, full of wishful thinking.
First of all, there were scattered businessmen who entered the treasure building, and the faces of the Zhang Heling brothers were not very good-looking, after all, there would always be a few people in such an expensive teahouse to see what was good, after all, there were really a lot of people in this Jingshi who were not short of money.
But later, when someone entered, the news of the treasure building came out, and then countless people rushed to be the first, the whole treasure building was overcrowded, Zhang Heling brothers were stunned, they really couldn't understand that there was such an unbelievable thing in this world, the treasure building was not even a more elegant teahouse, and the price was ten times or a hundred times that of the most high-end teahouse, but those businessmen were like crazy, for fear of falling behind others.
In fact, it was not only Zhang Heling's brothers who were surprised, but Zhu Youxuan was also full of doubts, Liu Chengfeng naturally did not dare to slack off, and shook off all his ideas and ideas.
The merchants of this era thought that they were denounced as cheap jobs, so the government generally did not pay attention to them, which led to many business rules not being standardized.
And Liu Chengfeng's teahouse is actually to standardize this rule.
As soon as the merchants enter the door, they can see the latest current prices of the latest goods in various places, and then they can enter the hall, mark the goods they want to buy, find a partner, and then bring them to the private room to discuss in detail and sign a contract. If you have a larger net worth, you can even go to this bamboo forest to have fun together after signing the contract.
The treasure house is like a rope that connects the merchants, secures their transactions, secures their contracts, and speeds up the flow of their goods.
In the unregulated market, it is enough for a treasure house to launch such a move, even if the threshold for entry is high and the price of tea is expensive, businessmen will rush to it.
And Liu Chengfeng made out the credit evaluation and membership to a certain extent equivalent to the qualification certification, in the future will inevitably evolve into a kind of businessmen's credit by virtue of the certified businessmen will be unimpeded, and those profiteers and liars, naturally eliminated, although there may be many loopholes here, but to be able to do this, it has epoch-making significance for businessmen, it is conceivable that in the future in this world, any businessman who wants to trade, must first obtain this membership, The future of Jubaolou is promising.
Zhu Youzhu listened while nodding his head constantly, and he was also a little interested in Liu Chengfeng's initiatives. The Ming Dynasty values agriculture and suppresses business, but Zhu Youzhuan does not understand that Shang Jia Gu has it, and it is impossible to put an end to it, rather than letting them go, it is better to restrain them. It's better to be sparse, there are some things that the court is inconvenient to do, but it is also a way to let a henchman like Liu Chengfeng do it.
Moreover, Liu Chengfeng also said that there will be some brocade guards in this treasure building, this is the place where the world's businessmen meet, and it is easy to inquire about the news, the Mingjiao stall is so big, sooner or later you can receive some rumors from here.
Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but smile and said: "This method is not bad, you have put your heart into it." ”
In fact, at the time of opening, Liu Chengfeng's heart was also sweating, but now that the effect is out, his mood has become extremely relaxed.
At this time, Wen Feng, the shopkeeper of Jubaolou, came in cautiously, and said to Liu Chengfeng with a list: "The owner, since its opening, it has received 5,400 applications, but I am afraid that the number of applicants will exceed 10,000 today." It is estimated that the manpower of Jubaolou will be insufficient. ”
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile and said, "I know, you go and say hello, I will deal with the manpower matter." ”
Wen Feng didn't know the status of these people who were talking to Liu Chengfeng, so he didn't seem too restrained, nodded, raised his legs and left.
Brother Zhang Heling couldn't help but be shocked, more than 5,000 applications, at least 10,000 today, even if only half of these applications are qualified, then there are about 5,000 members recruited today, even if they don't drink tea every month, don't come here to sit idle, the net income of the treasure building is at least 50,000 taels of silver, this is only the first day, and it's just that everyone applies for ordinary members, or not counting the results of selling tea, pastries, and no one coming here for entertainment, and the real income will be at least ten times and a hundred times that of these 50,000 taels of silver, And that's just a month's income, what about a year?
Although the two brothers together only accounted for 10% of the shares, but in only half a day, they were able to steadily collect 5,000 taels of silver a month, and over time, it would not be difficult for them to earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of silver a year.
This time, the bet was right.
I'm going to get rich.
Zhang Heling's face was already flushed, he never imagined that things would evolve to this point, let alone that he could earn such a huge fortune with just a thought.
The Zhang family is about to develop......
Zhang Heling looked at Liu Chengfeng's gaze very naked, with a kind of joy, and more of an admiration.
Compared with Zhang Heling's excitement, Liu Chengfeng's face is very calm, Jubaolou will sooner or later become the distribution center of the world's businessmen, and when the time comes, the future here will be even more immeasurable, which is a kind of disguised commercial tax, just plucking the goose, even if everyone who does business does not drink the tea of Jubaolou, but also has to pay ten, twenty, fifty taels of dues per month, it is impossible to be like the imperial court, although there are also commercial taxes, but there is a chance for people to leak their hands.
Liu Chengfeng even thought in his heart that it was not necessarily impossible to earn a net worth of tens of millions of taels of silver a year.
At this time, not only Liu Chengfeng was calculating, but Zhu Youzhu was not calculating? Deep in the Forbidden Palace, although he had heard of the wealth of the merchants, he never imagined that he would be rich to this extent. And the expenses of ordinary people for a year are collected from the merchants, but it is a drop in the bucket for these merchants, this treasure building is promising, Zhu Youzhuan even couldn't help thinking: "Over time, I am afraid that the annual income of the imperial court may not be as much as the surplus of the treasure building for a year." ”
In order to increase the income, Zhu Youjiao and the cabinet racked their brains, but Zhu Youzhu never imagined that the taxes collected by the people of Daming Huazhao were not as good as a teahouse, as soon as this idea came up, Zhu Youjiao's face couldn't help but change slightly, and then said lightly: "This treasure building is a little interesting, it is said that the prince is also a shareholder?" ”
Liu Chengfeng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the prince has already invested in the shares earlier, and in the ten percent share capital, the two uncles account for one percent, Weichen accounts for three percent, and the prince accounts for sixty percent. ”
"Sixty percent ......" Zhu Youxuan couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhu Youzhu originally thought that Zhu Houzhao was just added in to play, at most it was only one percent, who would have thought that the real major shareholder of Jubaolou was his own son, the prince of the Ming Dynasty?
Originally, Zhu Youxuan still had a different mind, after all, this treasure building was opened, and Liu Chengfeng's annual income was as much as Daming's income, although this Liu Chengfeng knew how to do things and had many wonderful ideas, but such a person was inevitably a little wealthy.
But I never thought that Liu Chengfeng would directly take out sixty percent of the benefits and hand them over to Zhu Houzhao, and who is Zhu Houzhao? The only prince of the Ming Dynasty, the only son of Zhu Youshuan, and the future son of heaven.
In the future, the position of the Ming Emperor must be inherited by Zhu Houzhao, and Liu Chengfeng gave up sixty percent of his interests, which is equivalent to filling the money into the treasury, but there is not much difference.
Originally, a strange thought, at this time, Zhu Youzhu dispelled it with a slight smile, Liu Chengfeng accounted for thirty percent, which he deserved, and besides, the maintenance of Jubaolou also depends on him, so that he can be a rich man, but he is not afraid of any mistakes. As for the sixty percent of the profits, it is equivalent to forming an inner treasury in the East Palace in disguise, and the silver in this inner treasury should be a treasury expenditure accumulated for him when Zhu Houzhao succeeds to the throne in the future.
Of course, Zhu Youzhu understands the importance of the treasury and the inner treasury, to maintain the world, the officials' fortunes need silver, the border army needs silver to fight, the river construction requires silver, and disaster relief requires silver, and the imperial court is barely maintaining it every year, and he can still encourage it to maintain when he sits on this golden chair, but the prince is different, when he ascends to the pole in the future, the treasury and the inner treasury must have improved a lot.
The country was originally reserved for children and grandchildren, and so was the money.
Zhu Youzhu nodded expectantly at Liu Chengfeng, and said, "You have worked hard and made great achievements, but you have given the prince such a great benefit in vain, I am very ashamed, but I don't know what reward you want?" (To be continued)
