Another day passed, and Zhou Yu came to the Yuwang Mansion again to discuss financing with Chen Jin.

"Congratulations, I heard that you were awarded the imperial history of the two houses by your father, the emperor, and you were promoted from a cloth cloth to a six-rank official, which is unique in the history of my Dawen Kingdom!" As soon as the two met, Chen Jin began to congratulate Zhou Yu.

"You don't wear a high hat for me, you know better than me what this imperial history does, it's all thankless work, what is there to congratulate?" Zhou Yu said with a dissatisfied face.

"Eh, you can't say that! No matter what, you still bypassed the scientific examination and became a member of the imperial court! And didn't my father even allow you to go to the morning court twice a month? Think about it, apart from you, which minister in the DPRK and China has this kind of treatment? Just steal the fun!" Chen Jin teased.

"Okay, I'll talk about it later, I'm here today mainly to discuss with you the funding of this dart game and ticket number. At present, we will first set up a site in the capital and several other relatively wealthy cities, and the two businesses together will cost 100,000 taels of silver. I started from scratch, and I didn't have long to do business before I entered the capital, and I didn't have much savings to take out, only about 12,000 taels, how much can you give here?" Zhou Yu didn't talk nonsense, and directly threw out the most important questions.

"When you told me about this before, I liquidated it, and the estimate that the entire palace could take out was only about 30,000 taels. By the way, Ruolan let me tell you that she also wants to get a share of this dart game and ticket number, and as for the funds, she said that she can pay about 15,000 taels." Chen Jin said.

"Isn't it? You royal sons just have a little money?" Zhou Yu said with some disbelieving.

"You think our money is all blown by the wind? That is, I am away all the year round, and the moon in the palace is in trouble, so I have to do something to make a living, so I have some savings, otherwise how do you think these 30,000 taels can be saved?" Chen Jin said unconvinced.

"We can't add up enough to make up the amount of 100,000 taels, it seems that we really have to borrow some money from Your Majesty......" Zhou Yu said helplessly.

"Borrowing money from my father? Can this really be done?" Chen Jin still said with some skepticism.

"If you can do it, you have to try it to find out! I will enter the palace immediately, and you will not go, so that Your Majesty will not have to think too much!" After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he left the Yuwang Mansion in a hurry and went straight to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Yu is asking to see you outside the Yihua Palace." A eunuch entered the room and said to Emperor Wen.

Yihua Hall is a place where Emperor Wen tastes tea and meditates, and whenever he doesn't want to review the folds, he will come to this place to sit for a while.

"Let him in." Emperor Wen put down the tribute porcelain teacup in the Western Regions and said.

"Xuan Zhou Yu enters the hall!"

"Weichen Zhou Yu, please St. Ann, long live long live!" At this time, Zhou Yu felt the most aggrieved, but Zhou Yu, who had already bathed in the spring breeze of the red flag, had to endure this feudal etiquette, which was really unpleasant.

"Zhou Aiqing, why did you come to see me?" Emperor Wen asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan that will not only fill His Majesty's treasury, but also facilitate the livelihood of the people." Zhou Yu deliberately only said half of what he said.

"Oh? What is the plan? Tell me about it!" Emperor Wen also came to be interested.

"Back to Your Majesty, at present, all the merchants of our country have large traders, and they have to use cash to pay. However, cash silver is heavy and inconvenient to carry, and if it is a long journey, it is time-consuming and laborious to transport, and even the safety of property is not guaranteed. Therefore, the ministers found a good plan in the states, and set up a number of ballots in each state for those who needed to deposit the money, and to issue a letter according to the amount of silver deposited, and if they wanted to withdraw it after a certain time, they would withdraw it by the letter. Of course, even if you want to access it in a different place, the ticket number can do it. Finally, the ticket number is based on the number of silver taels stored by the customer and the location of access and the corresponding management fee." Zhou Yu explained to Emperor Wen how the ticket number worked.

Emperor Wen is not a fool, he can tell at once whether this idea is good or not: "This method is wonderful! Zhou Aiqing deserves to be the lucky star of my great literature! The establishment of the ticket number is beneficial to the country and the people, and I have approved it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! However, the matter is still in this matter

There are some difficulties......" Zhou Yu deliberately pretended to be slurring and said.

"What's the difficulty, just say it, don't hide it!" Emperor Wen said boldly.

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Weichen has discussed this matter with His Royal Highness King Yu and Princess Changle, but the funds are really lacking, and I hope Your Majesty can support some from the treasury......" Zhou Yu said truthfully.

"Okay, you guys want to do this business without me? For so many years, you are the only one who has asked me for money in such a grand manner!" Although Emperor Wen's words carried some reproach, his tone was not harsh at all.

"Please atone for your sins!" Zhou Yu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Alright, get up, don't act with me here! How much it costs, let's get it straight!" Emperor Wen is also a neat and neat person.

"The three of us have already made up some of them, and the current funding gap is 100,000 taels of silver." Zhou Yu said.

As soon as Zhou Yu's words came out, even Lin Chun, who was standing on the side, looked at him with some incredulity.

"One hundred thousand taels of silver? What kind of ticket number is really so expensive?" Emperor Wen frowned and asked, 100,000 taels is also a considerable amount of money for the treasury. Coupled with the cost of celebrating the queen mother's birthday, once the 100,000 taels are released, the silver in the treasury will basically bottom out.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that ticket numbers require a large amount of cash flow, so the branches set up in various places need to have a certain amount of cash reserves, and this is where the real money is spent." Zhou Yu explained to Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen thought carefully about what Zhou Yu said, and thought that what he said was reasonable, but after all, he had to invest so much money at once, and if the business was not good, he would regret it. Emperor Wen asked very cautiously, "How much money can you earn with this ticket number?"

Zhou Yu had long expected that the emperor would ask such a question, and he replied with full preparation: "Your Majesty, the minister has roughly calculated, judging from the current economic situation of our country, Your Majesty's principal of 100,000 taels can be repaid in ten months at most. The profit in the second year can be more than 200,000 taels, and in the third year, we have set up semicolons in major cities and towns across the country, so the annual revenue will never be less than one million taels! Not only that, but the number of people waiting to deposit is growing, and the income can reach millions of taels every year!"

Millions of taels! Emperor Wen admitted that so much silver was poured into the treasury, which he had not dared to imagine before.

"Ahem!" Although he was pleasantly surprised, Emperor Wen still asked quietly on the surface, "How much can I get with this money?"

"If you go back to Your Majesty, the ticket number will pay dividends according to the shares, and Your Majesty will contribute the most, when you hold 60% of the shares, in short, you can get 60% of the revenue of the ticket number." Zhou Yu said.

Anyway, the joint-stock enterprises of this era did not appear, and Zhou Yu began to talk serious nonsense.

"Only sixty percent? Isn't it less?" Emperor Wen's brows furrowed again.

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen will speak for you in detail. The idea of this ticket number was put forward by the minister, and it belonged to the technology of the shares, when it accounted for one percent, plus Princess Changle, His Royal Highness King Yu and Wei Chen all contributed capital, and each person got one percent. His Majesty is the majority shareholder, and it is reasonable to account for 60%. Besides, this ticket number is business after all, and as the king of a country, it is inconvenient for His Majesty to show his real identity easily. Therefore, it is better for Weichen to be the owner of this ticket number on the surface. In this way, it is reasonable for Wechen to hold 20% of the shares!" Zhou Yu is trying his best to fight for more benefits for himself.

"Okay, you Zhou Yu, the abacus actually hit me on the head! But there is some truth to what you say, so do what you want. But I would like to warn you that this 100,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and if something goes wrong, your head will have to be moved!" Emperor Wen knocked on the dragon case as a warning.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Zhou Yu still knelt and kowtowed, "There is still one thing to ...... minister."

"What's the matter?"

"The ticket number line has just emerged, and the merchants and people everywhere probably don't believe in this new thing. Therefore, Wechen wants to ask His Majesty for the same thing, so that the ticket number can continue to operate smoothly." Zhou Yu said.

"What do you want to take from me?" Emperor Wen asked.

"Your Majesty is needed

so that the state capitals can be accommodating, and with the credibility of the state capitals as a guarantee, the merchants will naturally be willing to deposit their money!" Zhou Yu replied.

"According to what you say, every state capital has to take care of it, and I don't have to issue hundreds of edicts?"

"No, all you need is a handwritten edict from Your Majesty."

「…… Okay, okay, I'm done! If there is anything else, if not, you can step down! When you need money, just go to Lin Chun and ask him to transfer it to you in the treasury." Emperor Wen was a little impatient by him and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister retires!" Who knew that this was exactly what Zhou Yu wanted, and when he got the money, he was worried about how to get out, and being kicked out by Emperor Wen was a good choice.

……

"How's it going?" As soon as Zhou Yu returned to the Yuwang Mansion, Chen Jin rushed up and asked.

And it's not just Chen Jin, when he learned that Zhou Yu entered the palace and discussed with Emperor Wen about opening a ticket number and a dart game, even Chen Ruolan rushed to wait for his return.

"A good news or a bad news, which one do you listen to first?" Zhou Yu looked at the two people with anticipation, and said with his hands folded.

"Good news!" The two shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty has given us the go-ahead to open a ticket number, and not only has agreed to make up for our current funding shortfall from the treasury, but has also promised us to issue an edict on the way in which the magistrate's office will act as a guarantee of our credibility." Zhou Yu said according to the choice of the two.

"That's great! What's the bad news?" Chen Ruolan asked.

"The bad news is that Your Majesty said that as the prince and princess, you two actually want to do business behind his back, so you can only get a 10% share of the shares to settle the income." Zhou Yu deliberately concealed part of the facts.

The two of them still knew Emperor Wen's character well, and they didn't doubt whether Zhou Yu was deceitful in his words, so they accepted their fate. It's a profitable business, as long as it gets bigger, it's a lot of silver!

The dart game is more sensitive than the ticket number, so Zhou Yu decided to prepare the ticket number first and see the effect.

……

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Qianguo are asking to see you outside the palace."

"Biography."

"See His Majesty the Emperor!"

"No excuses!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"You have come to see me today, but what is the matter?" Emperor Wen asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the two countries are adjacent to each other in the north and south, and they should coexist in friendship. Previously, the two sides fought against each other, and the people in the land where the war was burning were not happy, and the minister believed that His Majesty did not want to see such a scene, right?" The envoy said.

"This is all friction caused by your Qianguo for no reason, and I have no choice but to fight!" Emperor Wen said very majestically.

"Your Majesty, whatever the cause of the previous war, it is always in the good interest of both countries to extinguish the flames of war. For the sake of the common development of the two countries, the monarch of our country is ready to send an embassy to seek peace with His Majesty. The envoy asked.

"Since it is beneficial to both the civil and the Qian, what reason do I have to refuse? Lin Chun, pass on my will and ask the Qianguo delegation to come to Beijing to negotiate peace in the south!"

"Yes!" Lin Chun said.

"Your Majesty!" The envoys of the Qianguo country bowed to the first way.

After a while, the voice of the eunuch who had spoken sounded again: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Wei State is asking to see you outside the palace."

"Oh? People from Wei are also here? These two families are usually at loggerheads with me, so why did they come to see me today?" Emperor Wen was very puzzled by the successive requests of the envoys of these two countries, so he asked, "The envoys of Wei also came here to discuss peace?"

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly!" The eunuch replied.

"This is really weird......" Emperor Wen was puzzled.

……

"I said, why don't you stay in your Yuwang Mansion, what are you doing here?" Zhou Yu, who was supervising the work, saw Chen Jin's sudden visit and asked.

"What you said, Juxian Mansion is also my business, let me see what's wrong?" Chen Jin immediately went back.

"Get down to business!" Zhou Yu knew that it was definitely not this Juxian Building that was still being renovated that could make Chen Jin run in person.

"Yesterday, the people of the Qianguo and the Wei State entered the palace to pay a visit to their father, and the two sides were really interesting, as if they had made an appointment, they had to send envoys to my Dawen, saying that they were discussing the issue of peace between the north and the south. It's not been a day or two since the Qianguo and the Wei State were at war with our Dawen, so they won't suddenly change their sex, right? I guess there's a scam in there, so I'll ask you what you think." Chen Jin said.

"People come to negotiate peace, this is a good thing that is very beneficial to the people on the border, how can you say that there is fraud in this?" Zhou Yu responded.

"These two are not a good thing, if you really want to negotiate peace, I'm afraid it would have been discussed a long time ago, why delay it until today? And it's a delegation from both countries, so it's certainly not as simple as it seems!" Chen Jin said eloquently.

"It doesn't matter if it's simple or complicated, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and when people make moves, we will take it. Besides, even Your Majesty is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" Zhou Yu looked at him and said.

"You ......" Chen Jin was choked and speechless.
