Those who eat and drink have sex!
Food and sex are human nature and will not change due to changes and developments in social structure. From ancient times to the present, food and sex have been the most expensive business and the fastest way to make money.
With Jiaofangsi in his hands, the top brothel in the capital and even in the world, Han Du made money at a jaw-dropping speed. It was only a short month, and even Han Du was shocked when he heard Grandma Li reporting her income over the past month.
"How much?" Han Du had not even finished drinking the tea in his hand, so he had to stop temporarily and looked up at Grandma Li and asked in disbelief.
Aunt Li looked at Han Du with a smile, and said again impatiently: "Sir, our Jiaofang Division has a total profit of 581,396 yuan."
Han Du didn't care about drinking tea at all. Why should he drink tea at this time? He put the tea cup on the table casually, stood up, took the account book from Grandma Li's hand, lowered his head and kept looking through it.
Bian asked: "Are you sure it's profit, not gross profit?"
Seeing the adults' expressions of disbelief, Grandma Li suddenly smiled in her heart. To be honest, when she first found out about it, she couldn't believe it. For this reason, I also checked with the people below several times to make sure it was correct.
He nodded and smiled and replied: "Of course, sir. Our gross profit is more than 670,000, and the net profit is this much."
Five hundred and eighty thousand dollars.
He made so much money in one month. To be honest, Han Du had never seen so much money at once in his previous life or this life. Holding the account book excitedly, he paced back and forth in the room.
After a while, Han Du ordered: "You ask someone to send 30,000 guans to the Baochao Lisi Division to make up for the deficit that Xiong Shi moved. In addition, you ask someone to prepare 300,000 guans and follow me." Enter the palace. The rest will be put in the books first and used for the expenses of the Jiaofang Secretary."
"Yes." Grandma Li turned around and went to prepare without hesitation.
Han Du entered the palace with a total of 300,000 yuan, but fortunately he informed Lao Zhu in advance. The servants from the Jiaofang Division carried three large boxes to the palace gate, and were replaced by guards to carry the boxes and follow Han Du in.
When Lao Zhu heard that Han Du wanted to send him a sum of money first, he was so happy that he refused to approve the memorial. In the imperial study room, he was calmly waiting for Han Du's arrival. He also sent someone to tell Han Du that he must try to avoid it when entering the palace.
Although Lao Zhu was sitting safely on the chair, he couldn't sit still after waiting for Han Du's arrival, so he asked the old eunuch to stand at the door to see if Han Du had arrived.
The old eunuch saw Han Du's figure emerging from the distance, and quickly turned to Lao Zhu with a look of joy on his face and replied: "Your Majesty, Master Han is here."
"Are you here? Okay, just come. This boy, I hope you won't disappoint me." Lao Zhu quickly cheered up, straightened his clothes and sat down, with an aura of calmness and authority suddenly exuding.
Even the notification was exempted, and Han Du was directly welcomed in by the old eunuch.
"Wei minister pays homage to the emperor."
"Get up." Lao Zhu was reading a book carefully without even looking at Han Du, as if Han Du's arrival was of no importance at all.
After a while, Lao Zhu raised his head to look at Han Du and said with a smile: "You asked someone to bring a message, saying that you want to send a sum of money from the Jiaofang Division first. How about it? Tens of thousands of coins were sent. ah?"
Although Lao Zhu had a smile on his face, he emphasized the word "tens of thousands of dollars" when he spoke. In Lao Zhu's view, even though it had only been a month, he didn't know how much money Han Du had earned. But when Lao Zhu thought about it, there should be tens of thousands of guan instead of one hundred thousand guan. It would be fine if Han Du could give him the money cleanly, but if he only gave me a little bit, then he would make Han Du look good.
Han Du naturally understood the meaning of Lao Zhu's words, but he pretended not to hear it and said directly: "Back to the emperor, Wei Chen brought the first money handed over by the Jiaofang Division, a total of 300,000 yuan, please The emperor inspects it."
"How much?" Lao Zhu was stunned.
Lao Zhu was first surprised that Jiaofangsi could earn more than 300,000 guan in just one month. You must know that since the establishment of Jiaofangsi, the best year only provided tens of thousands of guan to the palace. That’s it, usually around one to twenty thousand guan. In recent years, not even a penny has been sent to the palace. But Han Du took over and made so much in just one month.
Second, I was surprised that Han Du was so willing to give 300,000 yuan at once. Could he still regard money as garbage?
Suddenly coming back to his senses, he saw that Han Du was still waiting for his will. Lao Zhu let out a dull 'Oh' and said slowly: "Three hundred thousand, not bad."
Han Du was originally waiting for Lao Zhu to praise himself, but what he didn't expect was just a "not bad" word. I don’t know whether this is because Lao Zhu is the emperor after all. He is well-informed and really doesn’t care about such 300,000 yuan, or it is Lao Zhu’s appetite that is too big. Anyway, Lao Zhu's words made Han Du unable to move up or down, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
To be honest, Han Du didn't care whether Lao Zhu praised himself or not. It doesn't matter whether he praises or not, but leaving a talented influence in Lao Zhu's heart is very important to Han Du. If Han Du wants Lao Zhu to change his mind and fulfill his affairs with Princess Anqing, he can only do so by desperately showing his worth in front of Lao Zhu.
Originally, Han Du thought that Lao Zhu would look at him differently this time, but he didn't expect that he just said "not bad".
"Why are you still kneeling on the ground? Forget the courtesy and keep your body flat." Lao Zhu said lightly.
"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty." Han Du got up from the ground a little disappointed. His high spirits were mostly wiped out by Lao Zhu in an instant.
Lao Zhu was very happy when he saw Han Du's appearance. He sarcastically said in his heart, "You are the only one who dares to be proud in front of me." I've gone through more hardships than your kid has eaten, yet I can't cure you?
"Does Jiaofangsi make money like this? He made 300,000 yuan in one month. Can he do this every month in the future?"
Lao Zhu sounded calm on the surface, but actually he was panicking inside. If he can make an income of 300,000 yuan every month from now on, he will be truly prosperous. Three hundred thousand guan a month is 3.6 million guan a year. The Ming Dynasty's tax revenue last year was only a little over two million yuan. Doesn't that mean that the money earned by a Jiaofangsi in a year exceeds the tax revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty?
This is too outrageous!
If a Jiaofangsi can earn more money than the taxes of the entire world, Lao Zhu feels that his world is too worthless. This phenomenon was beyond Lao Zhu's cognition, making him feel a little confused and panicked.
