They could only retreat reluctantly.
However, this only strengthened their resolve to buy the silver mirror.
After Zhao Yuan finished lecturing at the Imperial Academy,
Then I had some free time.
After breakfast
Then he led his men toward the Imperial Street.
Upon arriving,
Seeing the traffic congestion in Jingxing,
They then went to the Royal Bank.
The mirror shop only has two floors.
To avoid the mirror breaking due to crowding,
It's always a matter of inspecting the goods and paying at the front.
Pick up the goods later.
Ren Jinnu was at the back window on the third floor of the Royal Bank.
Watching the mirrors being carefully carried out, she said with envy,
"This mirror shop seems to be doing even better than the money exchange,"
"Why did Your Majesty hand over the Mirror Shop to the Ministry of Revenue?"
Zhao Yuan slapped Ren Jinnu on the shoulder.
"You want to take all the money in the world to the emperor?"
"what!"
Ren Jinnu let out a soft cry and said coquettishly,
"These are all things you invented,"
"The money you earn should naturally be yours."
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "With the imperial bank, the palace will have an inexhaustible supply of goods."
"The imperial court is facing a financial crisis,"
"I gave the mirror shop to the Ministry of Revenue,"
"This will also save those court officials from constant trouble."
Ren Jinnu nodded and said,
"What Your Majesty says is true,"
"Anyway, the whole world belongs to the royal family."
Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "The world does not belong to the Zhao family."
"However, this imperial court belongs to the Zhao family,"
"The world still belongs to all people."
"The imperial family cannot touch the people's possessions."
"Only the officials of the imperial court are appointed by my Zhao family."
"What if the imperial court does something wrong?"
"Then they will rise up again,"
"A new dynasty has emerged."
Ren Jinnu smiled and said, "The Great Liang is so kind to its people."
"The people will certainly not harbor any disloyal thoughts."
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Not for at least a few generations."
"But who knows what will happen in the future."
"In the past, agricultural taxes were collected,"
"Now agricultural taxes have been abolished,"
"The people felt that the Great Liang Dynasty was the best dynasty."
"But in a few hundred years,"
"They would then feel that the exemption of agricultural taxes is a matter of course,"
"Perhaps at that time, people would have felt that the imperial government's monopoly on salt and alcohol was a form of tyranny."
"People's hearts are always changing,"
"But we can't manage things that far ahead,"
"And times always progress,"
"We should not only look at the Central Plains,"
"We also need to look at other countries."
"If people in other countries are living better lives,"
"Then you've fallen behind,"
"It's too early to say that we've made progress compared to before."
"This is not your progress,"
"It is the progress of the entire era."
Ren Jinnu asked in surprise, "Are there any countries where the people live better than those in our country?"
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Perhaps not now."
"But it's possible that it won't happen again in the future."
Ren Jinnu found Liang Wang's words somewhat strange.
They thought that the King of Liang was revealing some divine secret.
Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed.
She didn't press further, but instead said,
"King Liang, how much money do you think Jingxing will make today?"
Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
"However, no matter how much money they make, it can't compare to that of the money exchange."
"The business of a money exchange is a slow and steady one,"
"Of course, the water isn't fine either."
"The business of the mirror shop was only booming for a short time,"
"Things will just become ordinary after that."
"When everyone who can afford a large mirror has one in their home,"
"They can only sell small mirrors now."
"Even if every household bought their little mirrors,"
"That market is probably worth tens of millions of strings of cash."
"After the money exchange became large,"
"yet they can earn tens of millions of dollars every year,"
"There is simply no comparison."
Ren Jinnu shook his head and said, "Prince Liang, do not underestimate the wealthy people of the world."
"The money that Jingxing makes from the rich far exceeds that from ordinary people."
"Based on the population of the Song Dynasty, there were more than 20 million households throughout the country,"
“Each household should buy one of the smallest mirrors,”
"That's also twenty million strings of cash."
"This is based on the assumption that everyone is poor,"
"The money spent by wealthy people is always several times that of ordinary people."
"Based on this calculation,"
"Jingxing's business will definitely exceed one hundred million strings of cash."
Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "That's not how it's calculated."
"Even if it really could sell for 100 million strings of cash,"
"That was a long time ago."
Ren Jinnu nestled into Zhao Yuan's arms.
She traced circles on Zhao Yuan's chest with her fingers, and said in a seductive voice,
"King Liang truly possesses the Midas touch,"
"Just pick any industry,"
"They can all make so much money."
When the two went to look out the back window,
The backyard of the nearby Jingxing shop was completely deserted.
However, several more carriages had appeared in the backyard of the money exchange.
They are carrying the money down bag by bag.
The carriage and the servants were indeed from the Mirror Company...
Chapter 1758 New Business
Ren Jinnu laughed and said, "They've deposited all their money here."
"Let's go see how much money they made."
Zhao Yuan looked at the workers carrying heavy money bags and suddenly said,
"We should start new business."
Ren Jinnu heard that Zhao Yuan had new business opportunities.
With eyes shining, he asked,
"What business?"
Zhao Yuan said, "Our previous deposit slips were all signed and sealed."
"This prevents depositors from losing their slips,"
"It was stolen by someone else."
“We can make another type of bearer banknote,”
"One string, five strings, ten strings, fifty strings, one hundred strings,"
"As long as you have the banknotes, you can cash them at the bank."
"In this way, the bank drafts issued by the bank can replace the paper money in circulation."
Ren Jinnu immediately replied, "If it could be cashed out at will,"
"I'm afraid the merchants will go to other places to collect the money,"
"It saved on shipping costs,"
