"Mirrors are such a profitable thing, why did you easily give them to those businessmen outside Zhili? Did you receive any benefits from them?" Lao Zhu's angry roar echoed throughout Fengtian Hall.
Not to mention the little eunuchs who were surrounded by people with their heads lowered, wishing that the emperor had not noticed them. Even the old eunuch took a step back without any trace at this time, looking at Han Du with helpless eyes.
After listening to Lao Zhu's words, Han Du immediately understood what was going on.
Lao Zhu is so poor that he doesn't want to see others getting rich. What's more, in Lao Zhu's view, the profits from the mirror business belong to him, and now he is actually unwilling to be distributed to those businessmen.
Now that he understood what was going on, Han Du was no longer as cautious as before. He was still in the mood to talk to Lao Zhu with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have no benefit from accepting them. If I have to say that I accept them, it is for the sake of the Emperor."
Received."
"What are the benefits to me? How come I don't know." Lao Zhu's tone was stern. Lao Zhu felt a burst of anger. As the emperor, why should I give away the money that is about to be in my hands to others?
Han Du calmed down and explained to Lao Zhu: "Your Majesty, is the purpose of selling mirrors to make money? Or is it to recycle treasure money?"
Lao Zhu must think clearly about this issue. The purpose is a guiding issue, and if the purpose is not unified, then no matter how much Han Du does and how correct he is, the result may be a mistake in Lao Zhu's opinion.
"This..." Lao Zhu hesitated, and the anger on his face quickly dropped, and he muttered: "Of course it is to recover the treasure money."
That's right, the purpose of selling mirrors is not to make money at all. If it were to make money, then Handu would not specifically require that only treasure banknotes be recognized. Just recognizing only treasure banknotes, Handu would have
Lost 10% of the profit.
Seeing that Lao Zhu understood the purpose, Han Du explained to him: "Your Majesty, if we sell this mirror ourselves, I would like to bet that even if we sell it for a year, we will not be able to get out of Zhili. Although Zhili is prosperous and has many wealthy businessmen.
, but for the whole world, it is still a little small, and it is not good for recycling treasure banknotes."
The imperial court issued treasure banknotes for six years. Although it cannot be said that the treasure banknotes were integrated into every corner of the Ming Dynasty, they were definitely spread throughout the big cities in the fourteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty. Those who want to recycle the treasure banknotes
To minimize the impact, the best is naturally drawn from the average of the fourteen provinces in Beijing.
But is this possible with Han Du alone? It's even more impossible.
It is estimated that the mirrors Han Du has sold in the past few days have not even satisfied the market in the capital city. If Han Du wants to sell them all over Zhili, he doesn't know how long it will take just Han Du. Moreover, just
The value of treasure banknotes in the capital and surrounding areas has begun to rise rapidly.
"But bringing in these eight people will be different." Han Du smiled and explained to Lao Zhu: "Although in this case, we need to allocate part of the profits to them, we can also use their channels to
In the shortest time, we can sell the mirrors to all provinces of Ming Dynasty. It can help us recover a large amount of treasure money in the shortest time."
After listening to Han Du's explanation, Lao Zhu also understood a little and his expression softened. Han Du's approach was actually very simple. Since selling mirrors was not to make a fortune in the first place, but to use mirrors to make up for the past six years.
If the money issued every year has caused a deficit, then simply exchange money for time. Give part of the profits to eight businessmen in exchange for saving a lot of time.
"Your Majesty, time is money. When the treasure banknotes can be exchanged for copper coins, I can distribute the new treasure banknotes. That is the real money. If the opportunity can be advanced by one day, then the emperor can advance it by one day.
Get real money." Han Du said meaningfully. Compared with this, sharing a little profit with businessmen, what does it mean? Once the new treasure banknotes are issued, then the paper is regarded as money.
Come and use.
Lao Zhu understood it as soon as he thought about it, and nodded with a smile. Han Du is right, only the new treasure banknotes are my real money. Because the current treasure banknotes have someone's private seal, even if they are earned from selling mirrors
No matter how much, it is impossible for another treasure banknote to flow into the people. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disguised form of helping those who secretly print treasure banknotes? Helping to hide these people among the people, so that they can never be caught?
They still have to follow Han Du's plan and use the mirror to drain the people's treasure. Unless they can bear to stop it, they will never be able to escape.
"Okay, I will obey you on this matter and give you a credit." Lao Zhu turned his face faster than turning the book. He changed his angry look just now and looked at Han Du with satisfaction.
Han Du didn't care about meritorious service or not. If Lao Zhu could betroth Anqing to himself right now, Han Du would agree without any merit.
Of course, Han Du didn't dare to say this yet.
After pondering for a moment, Han Du continued: "Thank you, Your Majesty. And I have one more point I want to explain."
"Say it." Lao Zhu waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, the reason why I asked eight businessmen to participate in the sale of mirrors is to see if I can lure out those who secretly printed the treasure money."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Lao Zhu's face suddenly became solemn. Mao Xiang investigated several times, but was finally cut off by others. In addition, these people even dared to kill his own grandchildren. Lao Zhu already understood
Come here, these people are not only bold, but they should also be a very secretive organization. Otherwise, they would not be able to act so seamlessly that even Mao Xiang would not be able to catch any clues.
Now that Han Du actually said that he had a solution, Lao Zhu naturally wanted to hear it.
Han Du bowed his hands and explained: "Your Majesty, this is what I think. Since these people are printing treasure banknotes privately, it is impossible for them to print as much as they want. They must have a large amount of treasure banknotes in their hands. And since they
Being able to notice Wei Chen means that they must have noticed the new treasure note. Even if they have not seen it with their own eyes, they must have found out about the new treasure note from some channels, otherwise they would not be so eager to deal with it.
Wei Chen took action."
Lao Zhu pondered Han Du's words and nodded.
"They are so eager to take action against Weichen. They must know that the new treasure banknotes will pose a huge threat to them. Do these people know that the new treasure banknotes will make the banknotes they privately printed worthless? I dare not
Speculation." Han Du said softly, "But if it were Wei Chen, Wei Chen would definitely find a way to use all the treasure banknotes in his hand before the new treasure banknotes are issued. After all, these privately printed treasures
