Comprehensive martial arts: Summon Li Chungang and ask Wu Zetian for advice

Chapter 88

"Your Majesty, the common people are willing to donate 5000 million taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty every year."

Shen Wansan lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said with some pain.

5000 taels of silver? !
Zhu Wuying's eyes widened when he heard this number, and he thought it was outrageous.

Li Chenzhou’s 500 million taels.

Huo Xiu’s 3000 million taels.

When Shen Wansan arrived, it became 5000 million taels. What is this?Double the game?

Although he is an iron-gallant god, the wealth flowing through his hands every day is hundreds of thousands of taels, or millions of taels.

But those are all wealth on the books, and the figures mentioned by Shen Wansan and the others are pure money bills, which can be taken out directly.

This kind of financial resources made him feel for the first time that money was not money, but just a series of numbers.

But facing such astronomical figures, Zhu Houzhao turned his head and said coldly: "It's not enough!"

"not enough?!"

Shen Wansan's expression changed drastically, and he raised his head slightly to look at Zhu Houzhao, feeling horrified in his heart.

He never expected that Zhu Houzhao had such a huge appetite.

You must know that this 5000 million taels is not 5000 million taels at a time, but 5000 million taels every year.

Although he is Shen Wansan, and he is as rich as anyone in the country, but it still takes a lot of effort to spend so much money.

But even so, what can he do?

Do you refuse?
Rejection is a word of death, and it is still worse than death.

"How much does Your Majesty want?"

He took a deep breath and said bravely. He understood that if there was no heavy bleeding this time, his life would not be restored.

Looking at Shen Wansan with a pained face, Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed and said jokingly: "Since there is a three-character in your name, then add 3000 million taels for a total of 8000 million taels."

"Eight...eight...8000 million taels, it's not impossible!"

When Shen Wansan heard this number, he exclaimed and almost lost his breath.

This 3000 million taels per year really puts him in a bit of a quandary. It is no longer a massive hemorrhage, but a complete loss of all his savings over the years.

Seeing Shen Wansan gritting his teeth, Zhu Houzhao paused and continued: "It's more than that..."

But before he could finish speaking, Shen Wansan couldn't help but interrupt him and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. There is nothing we can do about it."

He raised his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao, smashed the jar, and said indifferently: "If Your Majesty is so open-minded, even if the common people are killed, the common people will not be able to get more money."

"Since Your Majesty caught me here, you must have already investigated me before."

"I, Shen Wansan, am indeed as rich as anyone in the country, and the amount of silver flowing through my hands every year amounts to hundreds of millions.

But I don’t know if Your Majesty understands that those hundreds of millions are just flowing water and are not considered as money from me, Shen Wansan. "

"I, Shen Wansan, run the bank. The more money is from powerful families and caravans from various countries. I don't have the authority to withdraw it."

Having said this, he took a deep breath and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty may not believe it. In your eyes, businessmen are unprofitable and extremely treacherous."

"But the most important thing in the eyes of businessmen like me is credibility. If I, Shen Wansan, lose my credibility, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to survive in the business circle in the future."

"If Your Majesty returns the favor, even if I, Shen Wansan, can come up with it, I'm afraid that within a few years, I will end up with a ruined family."

"Your Majesty must know the consequences of drying up the swamp for fishing and burning the forest for hunting."

"How dare you, Shen Wansan, speak to His Majesty like this?"

Zhu Mingli, who was on the side, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and quickly scolded Shen Wansan angrily.

Shen Wansan's words were not only disrespectful to Zhu Houzhao, but also had a hint of threat in his words.

According to Zhu Houzhao's previous character, how could he easily spare Shen Wansan?

By doing this, he was also saving Shen Wansan.

Shen Wansan, on the other hand, disagreed, with a cheerful look on his face.

Because if he really did what Zhu Houzhao said, he would eventually die.Rather than that, it is better to go all out now and give it a try.

It's just that he waited for a long time, but never saw Zhu Houzhao angry.

On the contrary, Zhu Houzhao's eyes that fell on him became softer, and he looked at him with a half-smile.

"When did I say 3000 million per year?"

Zhu Houzhao chuckled, looked at Shen Wansan and said lightly: "Fishing in the marsh? Do you really think I am that short-sighted person?"

In fact, Shen Wansan was right. Dongchang had investigated Shen Wansan long before he found Shen Wansan.

After investigation, he found that although Shen Wansan was extremely wealthy and had banks all over the country, most of them were fixed assets such as manors and fields.

Although he has a lot of cash flow in his hands every day, there is also a lot flowing out at the same time.

Shen Wansan is like a modern bank, with a lot of money in his hands and making money every day.

But most of the money does not really belong to him. It is either stored in money accounts by wealthy families, or the money is handed over to him for management.

A considerable part of his wealth has been converted into fixed assets, serving as collateral and credibility.

Although this involves taking great risks, the returns are equally high, and it is not an exaggeration to make a fortune every day.

However, the money he made today was used to purchase fields, manors, etc. as collateral.

After all, Shen Wansan is not a modern person and does not understand the principle of leverage.

If you want Shen Wansan to take out more at once, I am afraid that Shen Wansan's reputation will go bankrupt and all banks will collapse immediately.

"Isn't it every year? Is it one time? Is Zhu Houzhao really so kind?!"

Shen Wansan frowned and looked at Zhu Houzhao, puzzled in his heart. He didn't know what Zhu Houzhao had planned.

"You can transfer these 3000 million taels into the national treasury at once to alleviate Ming's urgent needs first."

Zhu Houzhao patted Shen Wansan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "As for the future, it will not be you who give me money, but I who will give you money."

"Your Majesty gives money to Wei Chen?"

Zhu Houzhao's words made Shen Wansan even more confused and completely confused.

"Yes, I very much approve of your business operations."

Zhu Houzhao clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly: "In the future, the Ming court will give you a portion of the money every year. You only need to hand over [-]% of the annual profit to the court at the end of each year."

"I guarantee that no one in the Ming Dynasty will dare to embarrass your Shen Wansan business. Even when you go bankrupt, I can help you tide over the difficulties for free!"

He would never do anything like fishing in the marsh.What he wanted to do was turn Shen Wansan into Ming's money bag.

For Shen Wansan, a gold-devouring beast who earns money every day, the best way to utilize him is not to drain him dry all at once, but to cultivate and develop him.

Only in this way can profits be maximized.

Although this is a world of mixed martial arts, there are only a very small number of masters of heavenly beings, and most of them are ordinary ordinary people.

If you want to truly compete for world hegemony, you must not only concentrate on enriching top combat capabilities, but also improve people's livelihood and win the hearts and minds of the people.

And it is closely related to the people of Li, and the only thing that makes them feel the most deeply is their money bags.

What's more, by doing this, Daming is equivalent to having an extra fixed and huge amount of income.

Regardless of floods, droughts, or other natural or man-made disasters, the Ming Dynasty's treasury will never be empty.

This is tantamount to a hugely profitable deal.

As a businessman, Shen Wansan's intuition was undoubtedly keen, and he quickly sensed the business opportunities in this.

Ten percent of annual profits seems like a lot, but compared with Zhu Houzhao's attitude, this ten percent seems much cheaper.

With Zhu Houzhao's support, his bank could be unscrupulous and spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

The profits that would bring would undoubtedly be huge, and would definitely be several times higher than what they are now.

More importantly, I took this opportunity to hook up with Zhu Houzhao. This opportunity is priceless and cannot be exchanged for any amount of money.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and said: "The grassroots are willing to give 20.00% of the profits to express the grassroots' loyalty to the fist!"
