They were sold out in the morning, and the money was calculated and deposited in the official bank in the afternoon.
The shopkeepers are very greedy when it comes to money.
In a short period of time, Zhu Biao earned nearly ten thousand taels.
Zhu Bai asked someone to leave a box and send it to the palace for him to play with and use for daily expenses, and the rest was stored in the official bank.
He looked at the boxes of white money and thought: It is better to have money to feel more at ease.
Although I have money, I still feel very happy when I see the money flowing in continuously.
There is a saying that if a family has money, it should not be revealed.
Although the money he gave Zhu Di was only a small part of his property, he had to pretend to be embarrassed to avoid others being jealous.
When the accounts were being settled that day, a shopkeeper said to Zhu Bai: "Someone in the city has started to imitate our stationery."
Zhu Bai nodded: "It will be a matter of time. Have they engraved the words 'Made by the Prince of Xiang personally, and the same style used by the Queen'?"
The shopkeeper said: "No, they don't dare to do this."
Engraving these words is not as simple as counterfeiting, but a serious crime of treason.
Zhu Bai said: "Don't worry about it. They can't afford the price. No one wants it even if it's half the price."
The shopkeeper kept muttering in his heart: It’s just that there are no words, everything else is exactly the same.
It's half the price and no one wants it?
Are you, a little kid, too confident in your own things?
Zhu Bai glanced at him and understood the worry in his heart, and said, "Let's do this. From tomorrow on, add one word to the signboard: Xiangwang Direct-operated Store."
It turned out that there were more than a dozen merchants selling in the city, but only Zhu Bai's store had a good business.
Other shop owners also couldn't figure it out. They quietly pulled people who bought things from Zhu Bai's shop and asked, "Why do you have to come here to buy this expensive one?"
The man said: "I want to buy a pen box secondly, but the most important thing is the word 'imperial'. Without these two words, who would be willing to spend this money?"
Even if this gold, silver and jade stationery doesn't make any money, wouldn't it still cost a few taels of silver?
If it is for writing, it would be better to buy ordinary pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Then Zhu Bai launched the same style fans, heaters, bookmarks, paperweights, pen holders, ink sticks, inkstones, etc.
The result is the same.
As long as it is labeled as "Made by the King of Xiang himself, and the same style used by the Queen", it will be easier to sell.
-----
Zhu Bai pulled his hair out again and learned to write eight-legged essays, and wrote the memorials set by the official and dental bureaus.
Although the writing style is still a bit nondescript, it still looks like an article.
Lao Zhu was very pleased when he saw it: the boy can be taught.
Zhu Bai's greatest advantage is that he knows the importance of this matter and is willing to study it hard.
In fact, whether you are smart or not is secondary. Whether you are willing to study hard is the key to determining whether a person can become a talent.
Zhu Bai is the most spiritual and willing to learn among all the brothers.
Except him, it's Zhu Di.
Zhu Biao failed because he was not flexible enough.
Zhu Fan failed because he didn't pay enough attention.
Zhu Ping lost because of his recklessness and debauchery.
Lao Zhu revised it slightly, copied it again, and promulgated it.
Except for the Guanya Bureau of North Zhili, which was under the jurisdiction of Zhu Di, the South Zhili was managed by Zhu Bai himself. The remaining thirteen chief envoys, Si Guan Ya Bureau, were selected by the imperial court from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to serve as officers. They were divided into two, chief and deputy, with the same rank as the chief and deputy commanders of the Military and Horse Division. These thirteen chief envoys are called the first-level official bureaus. Report directly to Lao Zhu, in fact, report to Zhu Bai.
Review and rotation every five years.
The prefecture-level official bureau is a second-level official, and the chief officers are appointed and managed by the imperial court. Those who hold the rank of sixth-grade officer must report to the General Bureau of Civil Affairs twice a year and review and rotate once every three years.
The state-level official bureau is responsible for the assessment by the first-level official bureau. It is a third-level official with a seventh-grade official title. It is under the jurisdiction of the first-level official. The assessment is rotated every two years. If there is a problem, the three levels of government, state, and government will be seated together.
And so on.
Yamen at all levels cooperate with the official and dental bureaus in the survey of private houses, and the deed tax processing fees earned from the official deed exchange are paid to the state treasury. The unowned properties acquired will be rented out by the Government Bureau, except for the needs of the Government Office, low-rent housing and welfare homes. 20% of the rent will be retained by the Government Bureau for management expenses, 30% will be left for the local government for daily expenses, and half will be left to the Government Office for daily expenses. Submit it to the treasury.
The top officer of the Guanya Bureau is also responsible for the management of the bank.
The level of Yinzhuang is the same as that of Guanya Bureau.
The salaries of all personnel in the Guanya Bureau and Yinzhuang at all levels are settled by the Guanya Bureau itself.
Inspectors conduct regular inspections.
Report and get rewarded.
When Liu Bowen heard that the chief of the Peking Official Tooth Bureau was Zhu Di, he sighed repeatedly: Zhu Bai is letting the tiger go back to the mountain. He misjudged Zhu Bai. He seemed to be fooling around all day, but he was actually playing a big game of chess.
-----
The people appointed to serve as the first-level officers and deputy commanders of the Yinzhuang Bureau came from different military divisions. Zhu Bai spent half a year observing, selecting and training them, and they were all capable and good-character people. The chief and deputy officers direct and supervise each other. All documents and accounts must be reviewed and stamped by two people at the same time before they can be effective.
Half a month later, these twenty-six people took their official appointment documents and seals, and each took ten personal guards, and set off to take up their posts in various chief envoys.
The seal of the Guan Ya Bureau was specially made by Zhu Bo. It is said that the twenty-eight seals of the chief and deputy chiefs of the Chief Envoy Si Guan Ya and the General Administration of Beizhili and the General Administration can just be combined into a complete figure.
No one knows exactly what was synthesized.
If it was a forgery, Zhu Bai would know it just by looking at the seal.
The operations of these thirteen first-level dental bureaus completely copy the model of General Yingtian, and even the rules for real estate sales are the same.
Before the establishment of the three levels of government and dental bureaus in Fuzhou and County, large-scale transactions could only be carried out at the first-level official and dental bureau of the Chief Envoy.
50% of the revenue from the Guanya Bureau and the Bank is given to the court, 20% goes to the General Administration, 10% goes to the welfare home, 10% goes to the local government office, and the rest is at the disposal of the Guanya Bureau itself.
Even a 10% profit is considerable.
The key is that Zhu Bai has blocked the General Administration so hard that he can't get in at all.
So everyone can only find a way to enter these thirteen first-level official bureaus.
The commanders and deputy commanders of the first-level official bureau did not dare to show favoritism, and they carefully tested the selected people for work.
After all, there is a precedent like Gu Cheng.
Moreover, the actual treatment Zhu Bai gave them was better than that of the first-rank officials of the imperial court. They didn't want to lose this good job for that little money.
Thirteen first-level official offices have only been established for a month, and money has been continuously shipped to the imperial court and the official office.
Moreover, silver shops are opening in various places. Those foreign merchants like to deposit money in other places and take it out when they return home.
Next time you need to make a transaction, deposit your money at the nearest bank.
Some even don't take them out at all.
After all, there are relatively few opportunities to use large ingots of silver for daily expenses, and it is not safe to keep them at home.
This is tantamount to establishing an official credit system.
As time goes by, some people have a lot of idle money, and some of it is deposited in official banks for six months or a year to earn some interest.
