The faces of the people around him were filled with joy.
"It's great. If the court doesn't think of a solution, our family will really run out of salt. We don't have enough food to eat. If there is no more salt, then we won't even have the strength to farm."
"Who says otherwise! This matter was all caused by the traitor Xiao Wenmao, King of Qi in Dongzhou. I heard that he colluded with Wuluo, Liaodong and Japanese pirates to cut off all the salt roads in the Wei Dynasty."
"Not only Xiao Wenmao, there are also many profiteers in the Wei Dynasty. They hoard large amounts of salt and wait for the price to rise. Originally, coarse salt was expensive enough at twenty cents per pound, but now it has risen to more than four hundred
Just one pound of text, doesn’t this cost our lives?”
"Zhang's Trading Company is still unparalleled in its righteousness. Their salt is sold at the same price as the imperial court. We will support more such trading companies in the future. And I heard that even the official salt was made by the young prince Qin himself."
"If these dignitaries are concerned about their conscience, they must be the young prince of Qin. He is both benevolent, righteous, and intelligent. He is truly unparalleled in the world."
...
The people around him were talking a lot, and they finally felt at ease.
Because of the resolution of the salt cut-off crisis, the imperial court earned a lot of fame and gained a wave of popular support.
Because of this incident, Qin Yu became even more famous in the Wei Dynasty.
Zhang Zhixin stood on the high platform, with the four characters "feel proud" written on his face.
He really didn't expect that one day he would get involved with Qin Yuguang to such an extent.
Now the shopkeepers of all the small and large businesses in Jinling City look at him politely.
In the era of focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce.
Zhang's Trading Company was also the first trading firm to receive support from the imperial court.
There was no way, who could have Qin Yu's backing behind Zhang's Trading Company, not only solving the crisis for the court, but also making a lot of money for the court.
As soon as the news of the sale of official salt, which was purified from inedible salt into edible salt, was released, it caused a stir in the Wei Dynasty.
One family is happy, and the other is worried.
When Zhang's Trading Company was making a lot of money from selling official salt.
Many commercial banks in the Wei Dynasty have begun to fall into economic crisis.
...
Zhang's Commercial Bank Head Office.
On the top floor, Zhang Zhixin’s private tea room.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan were eating and drinking.
Shen Binglan closed her eyes and rested at the side.
"Prince, nephew, if you need anything else, just tell me."
Zhang Zhixin came from outside the house with a smile on his face.
Qin Yu chewed Guifangzhai's luxurious cakes worth ten taels of silver each and waved his hand, "Uncle, you're polite. That's good."
Xiao Nan nodded repeatedly, "Even my father can't eat this pastry on weekdays, so he is already very considerate."
The time when Xiao Nan followed Qin Yu was the happiest time since he was born.
You can learn how to behave in society and govern the country and the people; you can enjoy and drink hot food with Qin Yu; you can also listen to music on weekdays; the most important thing is that you don't have to be scolded and you can make money.
His choice to follow Qin Yu was truly the wisest choice in his life.
"hehe......"
Zhang Zhixin smiled and said, "As long as you two are satisfied, if you are dissatisfied with anything, you must tell me. We are not short of money now."
Qin Yu took a sip of tea and looked at Zhang Zhixin, "Uncle, are there many commercial banks that have difficulty with capital turnover recently?"
Zhang Zhixin waved his hand and said, "There are not only a lot of them, but there are not too many. They are all profiteers who want to make money from the national crisis. Not only the profiteers, but also many landlords, gentry and aristocratic families."
"You don't know that after His Majesty lowered the price of salt to ten cents today, many people came to me to inquire about this matter, borrowed money for turnover, begged me to collect salt, etc., but I didn't see any of them."
Qin Yu nodded and said thoughtfully: "Uncle, is the business bank rich now?"
Zhang Zhixin hesitated, then nodded, "Rich, so rich. Zhang's Trading Company has never been so rich. Tell me how much you want."
Qin Yu said: "Uncle, money in our hands is the most useless now. This wave of salt crisis has affected all the major commercial banks in the Wei Dynasty, especially those aristocratic families."
"There are many people who are short of money now, so now is a good opportunity for us to take action."
Zhang Zhixin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes brightened, "My nephew, you mean, we use the money to acquire some properties?"
A smile appeared on Qin Yu's lips, "Yes, now business houses and aristocratic families need capital turnover and sell off a lot of properties, so we can definitely acquire some luxury homes, shops, restaurants, acres of land, etc."
"Once we have an industry, it will be much easier for Zhang's Trading Company to develop and grow."
"I still have more than one million taels in my treasury. I will invest one million taels into shares and leave it to you, uncle, to take care of it. After all, I also need a stable income."
Qin Yu thought about this for a long time.
Although the current emphasis is on agriculture and suppressing commerce, sooner or later commerce will develop.
Now is the best time to lay out.
Qin Yu is offending more and more people now. He needs to make plans early and not panic if he has money in hand.
Zhang Zhixin nodded excitedly, "No problem, of course no problem. I discussed it with your mother that day. After all, the new tea and coarse salt are your achievements, and you are already married."
"So from now on, you will occupy 40% of Zhang's Trading Company, Zhang's Palace will occupy 30%, and Prince Qin's Palace will occupy 30%."
Qin Yu didn't show any pretense, "Okay, then it's settled."
Xiao Nan listened and raised his hand, "Brother-in-law, uncle, um... I still have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, or do you want me to invest in stocks?"
Qin Yu looked at Xiao Nan.
Xiao Nan is the prince, so there is no need for others. His status alone will be a green pass from now on.
If something happens in the future and some political means need to be used, it would be best to push Xiao Nan out.
The key is that Xiao Nan is not only his brother-in-law, but also very kind to him.
When Tong Yuan was killed.
Xiao Nan did not hesitate to use her body to block the arrow for him.
Qin Yu cannot forget this friendship alone.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu nodded and said: "Okay, then I will give you a share of my 40%."
"ah!?"
Xiao Nan was startled and said sheepishly, "Sister...brother-in-law, isn't this a bit too much?"
Zhang Zhixin: "..."
Shen Binglan: "..."
Xiao Nan's answer caught them by surprise.
This prince is probably the most down-to-earth prince in history.
Qin Yu smiled calmly, "Not much, not much at all. If anything happens to Zhang's firm from now on, as a partner, you can take over."
Xiao Nan puffed up his chest and said righteously: "Of course, anyone who seeks trouble with my brother-in-law is looking for trouble with me. I can't spare them!"
Winning the Crown Prince of Wei to join the company with a 10% dividend is not a worthwhile deal.
