To be honest, in the opinion of the emperor, this interest rate is too low. However, under the current situation, the emperor has no better place to invest. This money is regarded as the emperor's private money, so it can only be placed with Gao Shaoyi first. Already.
In the end, the two people negotiated that the money would generate interest of three million per year, and Gao Shaoyi had to pay the interest of three million first.
Of course, there are no such rules in any business dealings, but these days the rules are set by people, and Gao Shaoyi doesn't want his uncle to be too embarrassed. The money is used to train the armed guards, not to squander it.
"Do you have any other good ideas? Your business in the capital is making a lot of money."
At this time, the emperor thought of all Gao Shaoyi's business, which was definitely making money every day. Not to mention that the big nobles in the capital were jealous, the emperor himself was jealous.
"My nephew is planning to build the Jingxi Industrial Zone in the capital to create a full-category industrial zone in the true sense of the Daqian Empire."
Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Gao Shaoyi took advantage of the opportunity to express his inner thoughts.
Jingxi Industrial Zone?
From the name, you can tell that it is near the capital. The emperor is a little confused about his nephew at this time. It is said that the relationship between the two parties is not that harmonious. Even if an industrial zone is built, it should not be near the capital. Here The power of the royal family is too strong, so we should choose another place.
But Gao Shaoyi also had his own ideas. The area around the capital was indeed the private residence of the royal family, but it was also the largest capital concentration and product sales place.
Every gain comes with a risk. Gao Shaoyi knows better than anyone else how much human, material, and financial resources a huge industrial zone will cost. Gao Shaoyi has a certain number in his mind. If he has to bear it all, That’s not to say it’s unaffordable, but it will cause a huge financial dilemma.
Therefore, Gao Shaoyi chose this place in the hope of attracting the funds of the nobles in the capital. As long as everyone is brought on board, will anyone still want to cause damage?
"We have dozens of industrial zones, large and small, in the Daqian Empire. When we were engaged in the Westernization Movement, they were integrated here and there. They really should be integrated. What is your plan for the industrial zones?"
Decades ago, the Daqian Empire launched a Westernization Movement, but the final result was not very good. As a result, many companies are now struggling and even selling off at reduced prices.
"Weichen has made a preliminary plan for the industrial zone. There are about forty-five large and small factories in total. Based on these forty-five factories, we will attract other businessmen to settle in the industrial zone, and then jointly promote the West Beijing Industrial Zone It will develop into the largest industrial area in the entire Daqian Empire within one to two years, and by then it will be able to bring 11 million silver coins in tax revenue to the empire every year."
Gao Shaoyi knew that there was a difference between the industrial and military aspects. This had to be done steadily and steadily. The military aspect had a system to help him, but the industrial zone would probably have to rely on the help of most people, especially the help of the emperor in front of him.
Eleven million silver coins in taxes?
When he heard this number, the emperor's pupils shrank sharply. You must know that the emperor is now in a huge financial crisis. Otherwise, he would have to cooperate with Gao Shaoyi for three million silver coins every year. Now he can collect tax revenue of eleven million silver coins every year. How can you not be moved?
It turns out that Haicheng was the most economically developed region in the entire north. The annual tax revenue was only about 6 million, which was already the highest tax paid locally. Now it only takes one industrial zone to almost double the tax. Your Majesty. At this moment, I was really caught in a flash.
"Do it with confidence and boldness. Whether you need land or policy support, I will give you the greatest support. This is also a milestone in the revitalization of industry in our empire. If anyone dares to destroy it, I will definitely not Let him go."
The emperor said proudly, in his opinion, this was a hugely profitable deal.
Isn't it just a piece of land? How much does it cost? This land was given to Gao Shaoyi for nothing.
Now it is also used for farming and collecting rent. In the future, this piece of land will bring 11 million in tax revenue to the court every year. Anyone with a sound mind can figure out what to use this piece of land for.
What's more, in the emperor's opinion, the industrial zone is very close to the capital. If you want to take it as your own, it is very easy. You only need to send a elite army to occupy it.
"Thank you uncle..."
The emperor thought of Gao Shaoyi. As long as we can live in peace, we will pay the money we need to pay. After all, this area has all the elements we need for development, but if we are playing dirty tricks, do you think we can just rely on it? Can the newly trained Wuwei Army be as good as the Suppression Army?
The two fathers ended the conversation with their own motives, and Gao Shaoyi began to walk out of the palace.
At the gate of the palace, Gao Shaoyi met his cousin, the third prince.
"My cousin is waiting for me?"
Gao Shaoyi knew why the third prince came here. The commander of the newly established armed guard army was the third prince. Everything needed the help of the suppressing army. Naturally, the third prince wanted to meet Gao Shaoyi.
"I'm just waiting for you. Who do you think I can wait for? I don't know who is supporting the imperial court, but they asked me to be the commander of the armed guards. Do you think I look like this? "
Someone else got this job, and I don't know where to be happy now. But the third prince in front of me didn't feel happy at all. Instead, he wanted to shirk it in his heart. Unfortunately, the matter has been decided. As a member of the royal family, especially He is an adult member of the royal family, and to shirk this would be to shirk his entire life's future.
"Let's go, find a place to eat first. I'm very hungry now. After eating, I'll go give you some reassurance."
As expected by Gao Shaoyi, this cousin didn't care at all about military matters.
At that time, because the status of the third prince's biological mother was too low, she did not have much presence in the palace. Now that all the princes are trying to compete for the throne, the third prince is studying behind closed doors in his own home. It has to be said that he is a strange person.
Others may feel that the third prince has other ideas, but Gao Shaoyi knows what is going on with his cousin. This guy really has no idea of fighting for power.
