Chapter 88 Concubine Li Was Asked to Earn Project Income From Eating Blood Swallows
Ordinary people have spare money, but not much.
Especially when facing unknown and possible risks, they are more cautious about their wallets.
But when they entered the first batch of Jingguo Money House, they were a little overwhelmed!
They thought this money house was similar to the rice shop.
But who knew that they were almost scared when they entered - the first and second floors of this money house were full of cold-faced soldiers with swords!
Six soldiers on each floor stood in the money house, like door gods, and their hesitant eyes kept checking everyone who entered the money house!
"Oh, what are you doing?"
"I haven't broken the law, have I..."
"You won't be imprisoned if you say something wrong here!"
Some of the common people held one or two coins, and some planned to come in and take a look first, and they were all panicked.
When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reason.
What about them?
But soon, the smiling steward in the lobby of the bank came out to comfort them, "Auntie, uncle, these elite soldiers were personally selected by our emperor."
"We are not here to arrest you, but to take care of the silver you put in our bank."
"!"
The people were stunned.
Good guy, this answer was something they never expected.
Xiao Yunzhou, who finally squeezed into the bank with Chuchu in his arms, and Jiang Li from the Ministry of Revenue stood in the corner of the bank and watched secretly again.
[Aww, the emperor father is so smart, he even got the bank security~]
Xiao Chuchu was so happy.
Xiao Yunzhou couldn't help laughing, didn't he just listen to his daughter's voice!
"Master Xiao, wise!" Jiang Li from the Ministry of Revenue also took the opportunity to flatter the emperor.
Xiao Yunzhou was immediately happy and looked at the steward in the lobby.
Sure enough, the manager of the bank, who had been trained by the Ministry of Revenue, said to the surprised people the next moment, "This is what our emperor ordered."
"The emperor should put himself in her shoes. If he handed his beloved little princess to a stranger for three days, he would be restless."
"Then today, uncles and aunts, you must be worried about taking out the silver and money you have accumulated for half a lifetime, which is as important as your life, and depositing it in our Jingguo Bank."
"Then our bank must take good care of every penny of yours."
This set of words from the manager of the bank was what Xiao Yunzhou wanted to teach to the Ministry of Revenue after listening to his daughter's voice.
"In this way, uncles and aunts, you can also feel at ease every day after returning from the bank."
"——Your silver is guarded by our Jingguo elite soldiers day and night!"
"These elite soldiers have all been on the battlefield and won battles. They can fight three times as well as one."
Oh my God.
The people in the money shop were all stunned.
If you put the money in this money shop, there will be soldiers who can fight to guard it day and night!
If they put the money at home, they won’t have such good luck... At most, they can hide it in the soles of shoes, cracks in the wall, or under pillows.
If they go out to work and get thieves at home, there is nothing they can do.
“How can there be such a good thing?” The extroverted ones shouted loudly, “Not only do they send guards to guard us, but they also give us interest?”
“Oh my, just before the imperial edict, you said that there were elite soldiers to watch our money, so I’m going home to get more money!”
This is not a free guard, it’s a waste if you don’t want it.
The manager laughed, as if in the spring breeze, "No hurry, you can deposit some money first and come back next time."
"Oh, by the way, if you deposit ten taels, you will be the VIP of our bank."
"You can go to the second floor for tea, there is a special manager to provide you with one-on-one service."
"You can come to ask about your capital and interest money at any time, how much you have now."
The people blinked, this is too reassuring.
"In addition, the guests can also check the daily price fluctuations of meat, vegetables, cloth and rice in the East and West Markets of the capital, as well as the neighboring cities in our bank."
"And we predict the price of meat, vegetables, cloth and rice in the East and West Markets on the second day."
The people were stunned.
How, how can there be such a good thing?
Deposit money, and they can still have these services?
If they know the prices of several markets today and the next day, won't they be cheated by merchants?
Reassurance, too reassuring.
[Oh, the control of market material prices, the emperor father has started it. 】
Xiao Chuchu was shocked.
Xiao Yunzhou lowered his head and laughed. Of course not. He was also someone who had heard about the basics of the financial market in the fairy world!
[This way, the number of unscrupulous merchants will be greatly reduced,] Xiao Chuchu sighed, [They can't make unscrupulous money. ]
Xiao Yunzhou nodded in his heart.
"Then I'll go back and collect some money, and then..."
"Hey, save me ten coins first, no, fifty coins!"
"I don't have ten taels now, but I'll save it slowly. If I save ten taels, will I be considered a VIP?"
Instantly, the money bank manager, shopkeeper, and hired workers were all surrounded by the people.
Finally, Xiao Yunzhou hugged his daughter and was squeezed so hard that he quickly escaped with Jiang Li from the Ministry of Revenue.
He wanted to wait in the teahouse for the final income of a bank, but until it was almost dark, the bank was crowded.
Not only the common people, but even the wealthy merchants who were originally on the sidelines sent their servants to deposit money and buy government bonds.
"Uncle Xiao, 100,000 taels have been deposited!"
"Uncle Xiao, the boss of the rice shop next door has come to buy government bonds and deposit money, and 1 million taels have been deposited!"
Merchants who travel all over the country usually have idle money and come to buy three-month government bonds, and even deposit a large amount!
"Uncle Xiao, 1.5 million taels!"
This is only the first day.
Jiang Li of the Ministry of Revenue was so excited that his hands were shaking.
Xiao Yunzhou stood in the teahouse opposite the bank, and his eyes were also flashing with tears.
"Jiang Li, you have always wanted to sell stuffed ducks to Wuyun Kingdom, but raising stuffed ducks on a large scale will cost a lot of money for feed."
"It will cost money to transport them to the grassland and stop between post stations."
"Before, the treasury didn't have money to spend, but now..."
Xiao Yunzhou pressed the railing of the teahouse, watching the people going in and out of the Jingguo Money Bank, feeling very proud.
"We are rich!"
The Ministry of Revenue Jiang Li was shocked, "Your Majesty..."
He was forced to cry because of Xiao Yunzhou.
So that's it, it turns out that the emperor has been thinking about making money for the Ministry of Revenue!
It's really great!
First ask the people for a short-term loan, invest in money-making projects, and return the money to the people when you make money!
The silver in the Jingguo Treasury is circulating!
"Your Majesty, I am not as good as you." The Ministry of Revenue Jiang Li vowed to keep up with the emperor's pace.
Xiao Yunzhou smiled, "Flattery, I don't like it."
"..."
Jiang Li's mouth twitched, the emperor was really arrogant, he was obviously very happy!
Xiao Yunzhou coughed lightly, turned his head and glanced at the little princess, "Jiang Li, you have to use the money given by the people on the cutting edge. In addition to necessary expenses such as military pay, don't do or do less of the rest of the things that don't have investment surplus for the people of Jingguo."
"Otherwise, I will use you to pay the people back."
"......!"
The Ministry of Revenue Jiang Li immediately woke up.
All this money must be returned to the people with interest!
It can't be used indiscriminately!
"I dare not slack off. I will go back to the Ministry of Revenue later and sort out the project application forms for each department to apply for money."
"The Ministry of Revenue will not give money to those who are unqualified and unprofitable!"
*
That night, the concubines in the harem heard that the treasury had received a large sum of money, and they were also very happy.
As the mother of the Fourth Prince and the foster mother of the Fifth Prince, Concubine Li was also happy.
If her biological Fourth Prince was lucky enough to ascend the throne, the treasury would have money, which would be a good thing.
If her son did not ascend the throne and became an idle prince in the future, it would also be a good thing for the treasury to have money.
"Cui Ming, go to the kitchen and ask for three days of blood swallow and ginseng porridge. I want to nourish my body."
She lived longer so that she could enjoy happiness with the Fourth Prince in the future.
Concubine Li was in a very good mood.
The maid immediately received the order to do it.
But after a while, the maid came back with a pale face.
"Your Highness, the kitchen said there is none."
"?"
"The kitchen went to buy today and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs for money. The Ministry of Internal Affairs said that from now on, the kitchen must report the project profit statement for purchases of more than 100 taels per month."
"???"
Empress Li was stunned, "What?"
The maid spread her hands in embarrassment, "The new rules of the Ministry of Revenue say that if you eat 100 taels of blood swallows, you must first give an estimated profit."
Empress Li was stunned.
