Chapter 317

Princess de was much more relaxed than Zhang Yan. She sat down on Qin Huan's lap and put her hands around his neck naturally. Tears were in her eyes. She said painfully, "Your Majesty, you are thin."

This appearance provoked the contempt of both Liu and Li, but Xiao Xinru always hung her head.

"Well, Aifei is a little fat."

Qin Huan patted her on the back, took the same bite on her face, and said with a straight face, "well, it's time to talk about business."

"It's the king."

Princess de did not dare to be coquettish. She loosened her hand, picked up the book on the table, opened it and reported it to the police.

In the five women's middle school, Princess De is responsible for managing internal affairs and supervising money and food. Liu is in charge of the military logistics department, Li is in charge of commercial banks and banks, as well as commercial convenience. Xiao Xinru is in charge of the education department and the audit office, while Zhang Yan is in charge of the overall situation.

"Well, Aifei directly said how much grain she had harvested this autumn and how much money and grain remained."

Qin Huan saw that she kept talking about everything, and then let her go on. I'm afraid it might not be finished the day before, so he waved his hand quickly.

"It's the king. This autumn, the two houses in Xiangyang and Yunyang will receive 50% of the land rent per mu according to the king's regulations, and then buy 20% according to the market price. The total is more than 3 million stones of rice and more than 200000 stones of wheat. Now there are more than 2 million stones of rice and 100000 stones of wheat left, and 4 million liang of silver is left in the account."

"So, there are millions of stone grains in the hands of people all over Xiangyang?"

"Your Majesty, there shouldn't be so much. Most people sold the remaining 30% of the grain to commercial firms, leaving only a small part."

Li hurried up and replied back and forth.

Suddenly Princess de glared at her, and she was very unhappy.

"Alas! If they want to sell, sell it. Are they sure they have all the silver? There is nothing to fill one's pockets? "

Qin Yu sighed and received 50% and bought 20%, considering that the people would sell the rest of the grain and then buy rice bran with silver. Who ever thought that they could not stop them.

"Your Majesty, all the money paid to the people is treasure money, which is a fixed price. There is absolutely no cheating on the people in local businesses. I can guarantee this. I don't know whether the wives of all towns pay according to the price when they collect grain."

Li Shi finished and quickly handed over the account book.

"How many treasure notes have been sold so far?" Qin Huan took the account book and looked at Princess de instead of checking it immediately.

Because Princess De is responsible for the two bureaus of printing treasure notes and forging ingots, and then they are handed over to banks for sale.

"Back to the king, up to now, we have printed 10 million double face treasure notes and 5 million liang of treasure."

"How many yuan and treasure notes do banks and commercial banks have left now?"

"Back to the king, I really don't know the details. According to the data reported by local branches last month, the bank still has more than one million two-sided treasure notes, four million liang of Yuan treasure, and the commercial bank has two million liang of treasure notes."

"Well, it seems that our treasure money is still very popular!"

Qin Huan nodded. There were only three million silver banknotes left in banks and commercial banks, that is to say, there were seven million silver banknotes in the hands of local people, businessmen and craftsmen.

However, only one million Yuan Bao was exchanged, reaching a circulation rate of 1:7. Of course, this has a lot to do with five Liang silver and one ingot of Yuan Bao. Most people are afraid they can't get together the five Liang silver banknotes.

"King, in addition to grain, there are not many other materials in the business, especially cotton, cotton cloth and salt." Li Shi said with some worry.

"The merchants all over the country didn't raise their prices?"

"Not now, but they are all sold in limited quantities. I'm worried that they will take the opportunity to raise the price only after our businesses are sold out. I've also looked for those salt merchants, but the price is almost twice as expensive as before. Ordinary salt also costs a hundred Wen a kilo, and only cash."

"Hum! Those salt merchants have a good plan. Do they think they have salt? Don't worry. Before long, we will have our own salt to sell. If they want to bid up the price, they won't buy it. "

Qin Huan snorted coldly and waved his hand. I'm afraid the salt merchants didn't want to use this as a threat to let him open the salt business, but it's impossible. The salt and grain can only be managed exclusively by the firm.

"What about cotton and other supplies?" Li Shi asked carefully. Until now, she realized that this firm was probably the most worrying.

"Are these things twice as expensive as before?" Qin Huan frowned.

"Yes, other families are only 50% more expensive, but our firm is twice as expensive. It's outrageous. My concubine originally planned to arrest them, but Sister Zhang said that once they were arrested, no one would dare to do business in Xiangyang in the future."

Li Shi said, with a trace of anger on his face.

"There's no need to arrest people. I really can't provoke them for the time being, but I don't have to be angry. I'll settle the general ledger with them in the future.

Well, after selling all the current materials, the firm will not operate these for the time being. In the future, it will specialize in salt, iron, grain, and things we can produce ourselves. Cotton cloth will be handed over to other businesses. However, you should communicate with them more. The price must not be ridiculously high, otherwise, it will not blame me for lifting the table! "

Qin Huan pondered for a while, but he had no choice but to say.

No way, almost all the bulk commodities that can circulate throughout the country in this era are produced in Jiangnan.

Now those guys obviously regard the Chinese army as a big enemy, so they might as well let the members of the chamber of commerce run it. Although they will certainly be slaughtered, it will be better and reduce the burden on some people.

"Well, when I got back, I immediately sent invitations to all the owners to discuss." Li Shi was relieved to see that he didn't have to deal with these things.

Qin Huan then asked about the expenses. He was surprised when he asked. Last month alone, with salary, military pay and wages, he spent more than 7 million Liang, not counting the 1 million stone rice transported to Nanyang.

The income, that is, the more than 2 million stone grain harvested this autumn, the commercial banks have almost 500000 profits, and the banks are in a state of loss.

If you convert the more than 3 million stone grains in your hand into silver, you will almost reach a balance of revenue and expenditure.

However, the agricultural tax can only be collected once a year. The land of the three governments has sold 10 million treasure notes, which has also reached the limit.

After all, once you can't buy anything with treasure money, there will definitely be a big mess, so you can't sell it again.

Even now, if it were not for the inconvenience of many soldiers and craftsmen to buy things, they could only carry treasure money in their pockets for the time being, which would probably lead to inflation.

Generally speaking, the production efficiency was still low and there were too few goods available for circulation. However, Qin Huan was not worried that he would go bankrupt, because he held a knife in his hand and could grab things from other places at any time and sell them on his own territory.
