Chapter 1043: The Emperor is tempted
Fu Yuanling was also forced to be anxious, there was no way, the Fu family was also short of money now, and threw out millions of taels one after another in a short period of time, which was a heavy hemorrhage.
The Fu family still has some foundations, but these silver Fu Yuanling must ensure that the flowing silver of the entire Fu family cannot be broken, and second, the silver cannot be moved in response to emergencies.
In this way, the silver that Fu Yuanling could take out was only a few million, which was too little, and it was spent when it was sent to Xilinguan without even hearing a sound.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and war horses eat and drink, plus the wear and tear of swords, guns, bows and arrows, this is all to be smashed in with real money.
The Fu family can't afford it.
A Fu family can't afford it, but what about gathering all the rich merchants in Daqian?
Fu Yuanling has been closed for the past few days, just thinking about this matter.
The Brocade Workshop is a workshop made by Fu Yuanling with great effort, originally wanting to enrich the country and strengthen the people, but at a critical moment, this thing is a cornucopia.
The Brocade Institute is half official and half business, and the name of the imperial court is equivalent to a gold-lettered signboard, telling others that I have my back against the big tree to enjoy the shade.
With the endorsement of the imperial court, it will attract a large number of large and small merchants to come to order, and the imperial court will never cheat people.
But on the contrary, there was an urgent need for silver, and Fu Yuanling wanted to raise a large amount of silver in a short period of time, and the most effective way was to divide the golden hen into independent workshops and lease them to merchants.
In the context of the Brocade Workshop, small merchants do not have to worry about being cheated at all, and large merchants do not have to spend manpower and material resources to build workshops, and even the workshops will provide craftsmen to work, and they can directly put into production and make profits, which is also a good thing for them.
It is not easy to build a workshop or recruit skilled craftsmen.
Everything is ready to start, you only need to pay a deposit and rent, and the deposit and other contracts will be returned in full when the contract expires, where to find such a good thing?
Fu Yuanling took a sip of tea to moisten his mouth, and then said: "Moreover, the war in Northern Xinjiang affects the hearts of all the subjects of Daqian, I will announce to the public that all the deposits and rentals of the income of the brocade workshop will be charged to the household department to support the war, and the remaining half of the three merchants will be left as a turnover, and the remaining half will be lent to the court for free." ”
The emperor had never encountered such a way to make money, and he was stunned for a while.
Fu Yuanling couldn't see his thoughts from Emperor Mu Ran's face, and he continued to calm down: "At present, all the workshops of the brocade workshop have a total of one hundred and seventeen works, and all the craftsmen have been recruited, and there are more than 100,000 people. Of course, at the moment we have only recruited more than 3,000 people, but these are not problems, after all, we require craftsmen to learn before they can work, and these more than 3,000 people are selected from the best of the best, and they will be trained as class masters in the future. There is a shortage of craftsmen to recruit, and the imperial court can issue a decree that the people of the surrounding prefectures and counties can also come to work, so more than 100,000 people can be recruited quickly. ”
The law of the great cadres is strict, and the people of the great cadres need the road guide issued by the government to go out, and there is a return time limit, for example, their merchants often go out to do business, and the road guide on their body must be filed with the government all the year round, and if they do not return within the time limit, they will be imprisoned.
However, now if the imperial court allows the people of the surrounding prefectures and counties to come, and the decree is relaxed for this special group, then these are not a problem.
Therefore, Fu Yuanling insisted that the brocade workshop was half official and half businessman, and he did have this consideration.
"Don't say anything else, just say that this one hundred and seventeen masterpieces, there are small works under the big works, only the deposit and rent are collected, and the daughter-in-law simply calculates an account, not to mention that there will be five or six million taels in the account."
Emperor:......
"So much?" It's a crazy way to make money.
Fu Yuanling smiled, "Father, the deposit is a tool to ensure the rights and interests of both parties, in other words, the money will be returned in the future." There is a court here, and the merchants trust the court, and they will not worry about not being able to get it back if they pay the deposit, and the court can get a huge amount of money in a short period of time. This means that there is the support of the imperial court, otherwise if ordinary merchants do this, who would dare to hand over their silver to others, in case they can't get it back? But it is different if there is a court in it, and the merchants trust the court very much, and the money must be taken out with confidence. And the rent is the serious income of the Brocade Workshop, and the money is our own. I thought that because there are large and small merchants, there are more or less silver to take, so there are naturally large workshops and small workshops for leasing workshops, and the lease period is as short as one year or as long as three years, and the deposit is charged according to the annual limit. ”
Even if it is a small workshop, the deposit must be at least 10,000 taels, plus the rental fee, a small workshop leased out has at least 20,000 taels of income a year, and the large workshop is even more, as little as 50,000 or 60,000, and as much as 100,000, so that five or six million taels are conservative estimates.
The emperor couldn't sit still now, if this money entered the household department, then what was there to worry about in the war in northern Xinjiang.
The weapons are replenished in time, the soldiers are rich in food and grass, and even if they fight a protracted war with the northern Xinjiang, they will be killed!
Fu Yuanling saw the emperor's expression and knew that this matter was stable, she looked at the emperor with a gentle smile and continued: "After the lease period has passed, you can choose to continue to lease the workshop, or take it back and run the workshop yourself." In order to show the confidence of the imperial court in the workshop, the daughter-in-law felt that now she could take the opportunity to build another workshop system with iron smelting and steelmaking as the main body, and after the workshop was built, it could not only make ordnance for the imperial court to support the war in northern Xinjiang, but also create agricultural tools, stoves and other daily objects for the people. Moreover, it can greatly encourage the people's hearts and strengthen the determination of merchants to pay for money. This can be built by the imperial court itself, I can give you ideas, of course, if you want to worry, you can also hand it over to your daughter-in-law to do, just follow the example of the Brocade Workshop. ”
Emperor:......
The wool of the imperial court is addictive, isn't it?
However, the emperor was really tempted.
In addition to what Fu Yuanling said, what is more important is that the emperor wants to take back the power of the bureau.
If you want to take back the power of the Bureau, then you must disperse the power of the Bureau, and you didn't have a chance before.
But now that there is a person who dares to pick up the wool of the imperial court, the emperor is very confident that Fu Yuanling will defeat the Zuo Bureau!
With the money and the people, there will be a steady stream of taxes and silver in the household department in the future, and the purse of the court will also bulge.
The emperor thought in his heart that this daughter-in-law was worth marrying, if it was an ordinary merchant, he would naturally not think about the purse of the imperial court, but Fu Yuanling was the daughter-in-law of the royal family, so it was different, and he would naturally consider it for the royal family.
The most important point is that Fu Yuanling can fight with the gang of people in the Bureau.
