"Your Majesty, this is Feiyun Commercial Bank's financial statement for the last quarter."
In Prince Yun's Mansion, Yun Li handed a thick stack of ledgers to Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun took the lead in picking up the top list and took a look.
Autumn report for the 26th year of Tiansheng.
Gross profit was 24.27 million taels of silver.
Net profit was 12.47 million taels of silver.
After reading it, Zhao Jun picked up the account book and started to look through it. While reading, he asked: "How was the profit from the Zhengjun weapons transaction with Bianjing last quarter?"
Yunli thought for a moment and then replied with a smile: "The country of Qiluo has a very big demand for this batch of weapons, and they couldn't wait to offer a very high price before we even asked.
This resulted in a profit that greatly exceeded our original expectations. After the company shared its share with His Majesty according to the original pricing, we were left with a total profit of 320,000 taels after covering our own operating costs.
His Majesty has handed over the second batch of scrapped weapons to us. Now the ship has gone to sea. Based on the volume this time, the profit from the next round should be more than three times that of this time! "
The corners of Zhao Jun's mouth suddenly curled up, Old man, old man, Wushan is missing, haven't you heard of it?
I handled the sale all by myself, and the extra profit is my own, and I'll give it to you according to the original price.
Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "The next income will be reduced by another 10% to Bianjing, and I will tell them that the quality of this batch of goods is too inferior, and Zhaoluo cannot accept the original price. So we can only sell it at a reduced price.”
Yun Li was stunned after hearing this, but he still said: "Uh... ok."
Then he looked like he was hesitating to speak. Zhao Jun looked through the account books and looked up when he saw it. He asked without looking up: "What's wrong?"
Yun Li hesitated for a moment and then said with some doubts: "Your Majesty, you are your Majesty after all. Is it appropriate for us to do this?"
Zhao Jun shrugged indifferently and said without caring: "Those things that are inappropriate are just rags in the Central Plains. Now I use the information gap to sell them to the place where they are needed and earn his own profit." The value should not be obtained, so what’s the harm in taking more? He doesn’t know anyway.
Do you believe it or not? Even if we secretly reduce it by 10%, my old man will still be happy to turn a blind eye when he sees the profit.
For him, this is just free money. "
Yun Li scratched his head: "Your Majesty, why did you say that it was you..."
Zhao Duan nodded: "I know he is my father, but the money given to him will eventually be filled into the bottomless pit of Song Dynasty. How many of them can really be used on the people? It is still unknown. Most of them will probably still be used. Fall into the hands of those corrupt officials.
In this case, why don't I take more and let it fall into our hands? It can always be really used on the people. It is better than falling into their hands, right? "
Yunli stopped talking.
Since you are the boss, you have the final say. Besides, the company's income is high, and when the shopkeeper pays dividends at the end of the year, he can also get more.
Who can complain about having too much money?
The prince himself doesn't care, he just worries about it.
After finishing this topic, Zhao Jun looked at the account book for a while and suddenly asked: "How much funds are available in the commercial bank now?"
Yunli was stunned, as if he didn't expect Zhao Jun to ask this question. After thinking for a while, he replied: "In recent years, the business bank has opened up a lot of new financial resources. Although it has spent a lot of money on the way to open up the financial resources, it has also made quick profits afterwards. Come back.
Now, after deducting the necessary operating costs, the funds available for you to use at any time in the commercial bank are about 30 million taels to 50 million taels. You need to go back and check the general ledger to determine the specific amount. "
Zhao Jun nodded, put down the account book in his hand and thought about the silver in his hand and the balance of Yunzhou County.
Add it all up, and the funds currently available to him have reached a terrifying more than 90 million taels of silver.
In addition, the steam engine side has recently found a substitute for the camera, and the technology is updated faster than the day.
Nowadays, the speed of steam locomotives can barely meet the transportation requirements, but due to insufficient supporting facilities, they have not been used.
Now it seems that railway construction can be put on the agenda!
Thinking of this, Zhao Jun quickly turned around and found the map of all the areas actually controlled by Yunzhou County hanging on the wall of the study.
He looked at the map with a brush in hand and thought for a while, and finally drew two lines on it.
One is a line that goes directly from Yunzhou County to the Tatar Grassland Mutual Market, and the other is a line that crosses the Yunling Mountains and runs through Nanli County, Woye County, and Youer County.
Judging from the map, Yunzhou County now relies entirely on its powerful military to intimidate all parties and thereby control its existing land.
But this is not safe. Yunzhou County's army is not large compared to the territory controlled by Yunzhou County.
Once a rebellion breaks out in some places, it's fine in one place, but if it happens in many places at the same time, Yunzhou County will be in trouble of insufficient troops. However, based on the current population structure of Yunzhou County, it is not suitable to increase the army. Number of people.
If you want to defend all the territory with limited troops, you must improve the mobility of the army. Once a rebellion occurs, the army can rush over as quickly as possible to put down the rebellion. This can greatly increase Yunzhou County's control over the territory. Control.
Originally there was no way, but now the conditions seem to be mature, only the most critical foundation is missing.
But now that I have money and food, it’s time to think about the foundation.
"railway……"
Zhao Jun muttered these two words and slowly narrowed his eyes.
After dinner, Zhao Jun asked Wang Huai'en to inform senior officials of Yunzhou County that the Tianyuan Institute of Technology would discuss matters tomorrow morning.
Wang Huaien quickly notified the news. The officials who received the news were confused. Why did they go to Tiangongyuan to discuss the matter?
But they didn't say much, and they all started to prepare.
The next day, the sky, which had been lightly snowing for several days, seemed to have a premonition of the importance of today. The swirling light snow disappeared and was replaced by the bright sun.
In these early winter days, the sunlight shining on people's bodies makes people feel warm.
Senior officials from Yunzhou County arrived at Tiangongyuan early in the morning, but this was not their final destination.
Wang Huaien was already waiting for them here. After everyone arrived, they were led out of the city by Wang Huaien and walked towards the outdoor experimental site of Tiangongyuan.
This is a military-controlled area, guarded by a thousand of the most elite sergeants in the Yunzhou Army.
The entry and exit control here is very strict. If he is not a Tiangongyuan craftsman with permission, anyone who wants to enter must obtain a handwritten letter from Prince Yun's Mansion. Otherwise, the Yunzhou Army officers and soldiers guarding the place have the right to kill him as a craftsman without any need. Any requests.
So usually no one who doesn't want to do anything would dare to approach this place at will. It would be too unfair if he was suspected and killed on the spot just because he was too close.
After Wang Huaien arrived with a group of officials, he also took out the handwritten letter before the sergeants let him go.
But even so, the officials could still feel that they were closely watching their every move.
With a nervous mood, the officials were taken to a spacious experimental site, where Zhao Jun was already waiting with his hands behind his back...
