Chapter 214 Strange goods
A few days later, Ling Yue did what she said and went directly to Xia Di with her plan.
In Chengfu Hall, Emperor Xia looked through the plan given to him by Ling Yue, but for some reason, he kept frowning and nodded indily, but sometimes he shook his head, making Ling Yue not know what Emperor Xia meant. She feels like she is facing a big customer, but she doesn't know if the customer is interested in her products. However, in the final analysis, there is no difference between selling products to a beggar and selling them to a president, but whether you can impress them and let them buy your products, in other words, whether you can grab their hearts. Ling Yue believes that the bait she ran down is already very big, and whoever sees this plan will covet it, but she is not sure whether the extremely perfect and feasible plan according to modern requirements can be applied in this era.
Sure enough, as Ling Yue was worried, Xia Di seemed to be ready to invest.
"Ling Yue, you need 100 million yuan of silver. You know that there is not so much silver in the treasury. Besides, are you a little risky?" Xia Di said slowly.
"Adventure? Risks and benefits coexist. How can you make a lot of money without taking risks? Ling Yue said, "Your Majesty, if it's a matter of silver, then Ling Yue will find a way to take out 100 million taels of silver within a month, okay?"
Xia Di was surprised and said, "You, what did you say? It is impossible to take out 100 million taels of silver within a month.
Ling Yue raised her eyebrows and smiled, "It's impossible for others, but it's really a piece of cake for me, Murong Lingyue."
"You, can you really do it?" Xia Di looked at Ling Yue's confident appearance and was a little convinced, but reason still told him that it was impossible.
"Of course, but I have a condition that the emperor must promise me, otherwise I can't get 100 million taels of silver in a month."
"Oh? What are the requirements? Just mention it."
"How about I take care of all the Qianzhuang in Linyun within a month?"
"What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this, but I can assure you that you will never take a taels of silver from the bank."
Unexpectedly, Emperor Xia quickly agreed.
Xia's Qianzhuang is actually controlled by the royal family, and the people who run the Qianzhuang have more or less official ranks, which is very different from Chu and Jin Guo. However, for Ling Yue, I think this practice is very smart and can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. Of course, these are all later words.
When Emperor Xia issued an imperial edict to tell the people that the ownership of Linyun Qianzhuang belonged to Lingyue, the whole Linyun was shocked. This is tantamount to handing over the treasury to Ling Yue, which is simply an incredible thing. But then, another imperial edict of Emperor Xia dispelled many people's doubts that Ling Yue could not take a taels of silver from the bank. When she saw the second edict, Ling Yue also half-jokingly asked Liu Yi, who read the edict.
"Eunuch Liu, since you can't take a piece of silver from the bank, there should be no problem to take a few copper coins." Ling Yue also just asked jokingly. Who knew that Liu Xi was serious?
Liu Xi replied solemnly, "A few copper plates are OK, as long as there is no more than one taels of silver."
"Why do I have the impulse to kill you?" Ling Yue said angrily.
Liu Xi smiled and said, "The slave is just a joke. Why should you take it seriously? I heard that you want to build a casino, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Ling Yue asked.
"Amazing, amazing." Liu Xi sighed, "Actually, hey, I also like to bet two."
"Eunuch Liu, it turns out that you also like to bet two?" Ling Yue was surprised, "I really don't see it at ordinary times."
"Hey, always be careful when working around the emperor. Dean, is it okay for you to say so?"
Ling Yue shook her head with a firm expression: "If I don't read gambling, I never gamble. Have you ever heard of ten bets and nine losses, so why do I still gamble? Only fools will be willing to give money to others. There is basically no rule of victory or defeat. No, in fact, there is still a rule, that is, basically you lose.
"Thousands of skills." Liu Xi giggled.
"If you come out, you always have to pay it back." Ling Yueyou said, "Is it possible that you are still a master of thousands of skills?"
"Ha ha, this..." Liu Xi shook the dust and said, "I won't disturb the dean here."
"You haven't answered me yet. Are you a master of thousands of skills?"
"I can't be a master, but at least I'm a master." Liu Xi said.
Looking at Liu Xi's departure, Liu Ye said depressedly, "A master is a master, and he is still a master."
"Second master? It should be good to say so. I really can't see that he is still a thousand talents. Ling Yue said, "This is not good-looking, but you can judge people by their appearance."
Liu Ye said worriedly, "Sister, can you really make up 100 million taels of silver in a month? How is that possible?"
Ling Yue said, "It's not that I raised 100 million taels of silver. How can I have that ability?"
Huh? But didn't you promise to go to the emperor?" Liu Ye asked, "Is it possible, sister, there's nothing you can do?"
"There is a way, but this money is not made by your sister and me, but the people in Linyun, and of course, the people in other places. However, I guess I will scare the emperor to death.
In a few days, Ling Yue's sentence was expected to scare the emperor to death. It turned out that Ling Yue gave an order to every bank in Linyun, that is, as long as he came to the bank to deposit money, he would give ten interest. Ten, there is only one point of interest on weekdays. For a while, the people came to deposit silver, and almost every bank was full.
After hearing this, Emperor Xia immediately summoned Ling Yue.
"What's going on?" From the surface, Emperor Xia is obviously extremely angry.
"Don't you forget that Ling Yue said that he would collect 100 million taels of silver in a month. Now it has been ten days, and there are about 40 million taels of silver."
"But look, there is a ten-ten interest rate. Do you know how much it is?" Emperor Xia Di roared, "If it goes on like this, won't Qianzhuang be finished?"
Ling Yue said curiously, "How can it be finished? The people won't take silver together, and... it doesn't matter if they take silver together."
"How can it matter? If the people take silver together, what should we do? What do you need to make up for this ten-ten interest?
"Your Majesty, this ten-ten interest does not exist at all. Why are you so angry? Listen to me slowly." Ling Yue said slowly, "We promise to give the people a lot of interest at this time, which is indeed a loss, but the point is that the people will not come to get money together. In this case, we just need to find a way to erase the extra interest."
"How to erase it?"
"Yanba is controlled by the imperial court, and the Supervision Institute has mastered countless chambers of commerce in the world. At the same time, most of the saltba is produced along the coastline of our Xia country. Since in this way, as long as the production of saltba decreases, it will naturally be a strange commodity and the price of saltba will become higher." Ling Yue said, "I have carefully investigated that Chu buys a large amount of salt from Xia every year. In this case, of course, we have to sit on the ground and make a good profit. It's okay for people not to eat sugar, but it's impossible not to eat salt.
