"Lord Wang, this is the financial statement of Feiyun Commercial Bank in the last quarter."

In the Yunwang Mansion, Yun Li handed a thick stack of ledgers to Zhao Jun, and Zhao Jun took the lead in picking up the top table and taking a look.

Autumn report of the twenty-sixth year of Tiansheng.

The gross profit was 24,270,000 taels of silver.

The net profit was 12,470,000 taels of silver.

After reading it, Zhao Jun picked up the ledger again and began to look through it, and asked while reading: "How about the profit of the military weapons transaction that cooperated with Bianjing last quarter?" ”

Yun Li thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "The demand for this batch of weapons in the Luo Kingdom is very large, and they can't wait to give an extremely high price before we can open our mouths.

This caused the profit to greatly exceed our original expectations, and after the business bank shared it with His Majesty according to the original price, we got a total profit of 320,000 taels after leaving our own operating costs.

Your Majesty has already handed over the second batch of scrapped weapons to us, and now that the ship has gone to sea, according to the amount of this time, the profit of the next time should be more than three times that of this time! ”

The corners of Zhao Jun's mouth suddenly hooked, old man, old man, Wushan is gone, haven't you heard of it?

I did all the sales, and the extra profits are my own, and I gave you the original price.

Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "The next income will be reduced by another one percent to Bianjing, and I will tell them that the quality of this batch of goods is too inferior, and the Luo side can't accept the original price, so they can only sell it at a reduced price." ”

Yun Li was stunned when he heard this, but he still said, "Uh...... Good. ”

Immediately afterwards, he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Jun looked up at the account book and asked without raising his head, "What's wrong?" ”

Yun Li hesitated for a moment, and then said with some doubts: "Lord Wang, then it's Your Majesty, is it appropriate for us to do this?" ”

Zhao Jun shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said indifferently: "What are those things that are inappropriate in the Central Plains are just rags, and now this king has taken advantage of the information gap to sell him to the place where he needs it, and earned a value that he shouldn't have obtained, so what's the harm if we take a little more?" He didn't know anyway.

Do you believe it or not? Even if we secretly lower it by 10% for him, the old man in my family will still be happy to see the benefits.

For him, it was all money he had picked up for nothing. ”

Yun Li scratched his head: "Lord Wang, how can you say that it is also your ......"

Zhao Duan nodded: "I know that he is my son, but if this money is given to him, it will eventually be filled in the bottomless pit of the Great Song Dynasty, how much can it really be used on the people?" It is still unclear that most of them will still fall into the hands of those corrupt officials.

In that case, why don't I take a little more and put it into our hands, so that it can always be truly used by the people, and it is better than falling into their hands, isn't it? ”

Yun Li stopped talking.

You are the boss, you have the final say, besides, the income of the business bank is high, and when the shopkeeper distributes dividends at the end of the year, he can also share more.

Who can think that there is too much money?

The prince himself doesn't care, he does what he cares about.

After finishing this topic, Zhao Jun looked through the account book for a while, and suddenly asked, "How much capital is available in the commercial bank now?" ”

Yun Li was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Zhao Jun to ask this question, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Over the years, the firm has opened up a lot of new sources of wealth, although it has spent a lot of money on the way to open up financial resources, but it has also quickly earned it back afterwards.

Now, after deducting the necessary operating costs, the funds available to you at any time on the side of the commercial bank are about 30 million taels to 50 million taels, and the specific small ones need to go back and check the general ledger to determine. ”

Zhao Jun nodded, put down the account book in his hand, and thought about the silver taels in his hand and the balance of Yunzhou County.

Combined, the funds available to him at present have reached a terrifying more than 90 million taels of silver.

In addition, due to the recent search for a replacement for the camera on the steam engine, the technology is updated faster than a day.

Nowadays, the speed of the steam locomotive can barely meet the transportation, but due to the incomplete supporting facilities, it has not been used.

Now it seems that the construction of the railway can be put on the agenda!

Thinking of this, Zhao Jun quickly turned around and found a hanging map of all the areas under the actual control of Yunzhou County from the wall of the study.

Holding a brush in his hand, he looked at the map and pondered for a while, and finally drew two lines on it.

One is the line from Yunzhou County to the Tatar steppe market, and the other is a line across the Yunling Mountains through Nanli County, Woye County and Yor County.

Judging from the map, Yunzhou County now relies entirely on a powerful army to intimidate all parties, so as to control its existing land.

But this is not safe, and the army of Yunzhou County is not much for the territory controlled by Yunzhou County.

Once there is a rebellion in some places, one is fine, but if it happens in many places, Yunzhou County will fall into the dilemma of insufficient troops, but with the current population structure of Yunzhou County, it is not suitable to increase the number of troops.

So if you want to defend all the territory with a limited force, you must improve the mobility of the army, and once the rebellion occurs, the army can rush over to quell the rebellion as quickly as possible, which can greatly increase the control of Yunzhou County over the territory.

Originally, there was no way, but now the conditions seem to be ripe, and only the most critical foundation is missing.

And now that he has money and food, it's time to think about the foundation.

"Railroad ......"

Zhao Jun muttered these two words, and his eyes slowly narrowed.

After dinner, Zhao Jun asked Wang Huaien to inform the senior officials of Yunzhou County that the Tiangong Yuan would discuss the matter tomorrow morning.

Wang Huaien quickly informed the news, and the officials who received the news were confused, why did they go to the Tiangong Institute to discuss matters?

But they didn't say much, and they all began to prepare.

The next day, the sky, which had been snowing for several days, seemed to have a premonition of the importance of the day, and the light snow disappeared in favor of a bright sun.

In this early winter day, the sun shining on people's bodies makes people feel warm.

The high-ranking officials of Yunzhou County came to Tiangongyuan early in the morning, but this was not the final destination.

Wang Huaien was already waiting for them here, and after everyone came, they were taken out of the city by Wang Huaien and walked towards the outdoor experiment site of the Tiangong Academy.

This is a military zone, guarded by the most elite 1,000 sergeants in the Yunzhou army.

The entry and exit control here is very strict, if it is not a craftsman of the Tiangong Academy who has obtained permission, anyone who wants to enter must obtain a handwritten letter from the Yunwang Mansion, otherwise the Yunzhou army soldiers guarding here have the right to kill it as a fine work first, without any instructions.

So usually no one who doesn't want to do it dares to approach here at will, if he is suspected because he is too close and killed on the spot, it will be too unjust.

After Wang Huaien arrived with a group of officials, he also took out a handwritten letter, and these sergeants were released.

But even so, the officials could still feel them watching their every move.

With nervousness, the officials were taken to a wide experimental field, where Zhao Jun was already waiting with his hands behind his back......
