Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"You still have to observe proper etiquette. After all, you have already become emperor."

Wan Shu sat next to Qin Ming.

But his eyes kept stealing glances at the documents on Qin Ming's desk.

Many of the decisions Qin Ming makes now will affect this piece of land.

As a businessman, Wan Shu is naturally extremely sensitive to these things. If he could get the news in advance, he might be able to make a lot of money when doing business.

But Qin Ming knew Wan Shu too well.

As soon as the other person's eyes glanced at him, he closed the document and put it aside.

"Talk about something."

"Oh, it's nothing serious."

Wan Shu poured Qin Ming a cup of tea with a smile, then stood behind Qin Ming and gently massaged his shoulders.

"I heard that His Majesty is planning to build a new factory and has issued a batch of notes. I heard that these notes can be exchanged for dividends from the factory?"

"Yes, there are still many factories to be built. After all, Luocheng has been designated as the imperial capital."

Qin Ming spoke lightly, having already guessed why Wan Shu came to see him today.

"Then can you give me a share of one million taels? Given the strength of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, just asking for one million taels is not too much, right?"

As she spoke, Wan Shu had already pressed her body against Qin Ming's back.

The charming look in his ear was obviously just an act. Qin Ming knew that Wan Shu only cared about money.

"You want to use the bills as goods to speculate on their price?"

Qin Ming saw through Wan Shu's thoughts at a glance.

If Qin Ming's bills can be circulated in the market, he can be sure to receive dividends every year.

Then the bills that each person bought with one tael of silver might be sold for one tael and two cents or even one tael and three cents.

After some hype, it can even have an effect similar to that of stocks in modern society.

"Your Majesty, I just want to help you share your worries."

Wan Shu saw that Qin Ming had seen through her thoughts, but she did not feel embarrassed at all.

But he still pestered Qin Ming to get more shares.

"I can give it to you, but the price can't be too high. As for the upper limit, you can discuss it with Qian Cai."

"Another requirement is that the price must be raised to the level I need within three days of the note being issued."

Wan Shu was a little surprised that he agreed so easily.

"Your Majesty, will you really give it to me?"

"Of course I will. I intend to make the price of this note much higher than its own value."

Qin Ming spoke slowly, his tone full of mystery.

Wan Shu was confused because this new business model was completely different from anything she had seen before. She had thought it would be very troublesome to come here to ask for something, but she hadn't expected Qin Ming to be so simple. She felt like she couldn't figure out his intentions, which made Wan Shu hesitate. She was worried that she would fall into a trap, but the matter was already settled, and it would be embarrassing to change it now. After thinking about it, Wan Shu asked tentatively:

"Then your Majesty, these bills will rise, won't they also fall?"

"Is such that."

Qin Ming nodded seriously without any concealment.

"Since it's something that allows people to make money, there are bound to be some risks. It's impossible for money to fall from the sky just by sitting at home, right?"

"That's the truth, then I understand."

Wan Shu blinked her beautiful eyes and quickly understood what Qin Ming said. She then quickly finalized the subsequent shares with him and turned and left.

Looking at the other person's departing back, Qin Ming nodded slowly. This time the situation was much simpler than he had imagined.

After Chen Shimao’s half-month publicity in newspapers.

The major families in the Central Plains and the South, as well as some businessmen, all arrived in Luocheng early to wait for Qin Ming's bill sales.

The first group of people who took the plunge made the most money, and they naturally understand this now.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Qin Ming, Chen Shimao and Qian Cai finally arrived at the market in Luocheng on this day.

This place is already surrounded by people.

A rough estimate is that there are tens of thousands of people, all of whom have some money in their hands and want to come and try it out.

"The upper limit is 300,000 taels, and the minimum is one tael of silver."

"Everyone line up, don't fight over it, basically everyone can get one."

Qian Cai stood at the front to maintain order. The scene was in chaos. Although Qin Ming had arranged thousands of soldiers in advance to maintain order, it was of no use.

As their ticket sales began, everyone rushed forward like crazy.

Soon, the five million taels of bills were sold out.

Adding the one million taels that Qin Ming had promised to Wan Shu, he now has a total of six million taels of silver.

"Your Majesty, this is simply not enough."

After working for less than two hours and selling out all the goods, Qian Cai went straight to Qin Ming.

Chen Shimao also nodded slowly.

Seeing the lively scene, he realized that he and Qin Ming had seriously underestimated the strength of these people.

"Your Majesty, how much do you want next time?"

Turning his head, Chen Shimao looked at Qin Ming and asked tentatively.

To be honest, Qin Ming was also a little surprised when he saw such a grand occasion.

"The oil refinery and the firearms factory need to be built sooner rather than later...why don't we build a train line from the Western Regions to the Central Plains?"

After thinking about it, Qin Ming directly proposed a shocking plan.

"That's about one or two thousand li! One li would cost us a thousand taels of silver, which would be more than millions of taels of silver."

Qian Cai swallowed and hesitated.

Chen Shimao was decisive and directly agreed to Qin Ming's arrangement.

"I think it's no problem. Now we need to think about how to spend this money. According to my calculations, we can at least get... tens of millions of taels of silver."

"hiss!"

When these words were spoken, Qin Ming and Qian Cai both took a breath of cold air, but they also understood that what Chen Shimao said was correct.

Just looking at the current popularity, it has exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Okay, next time we'll set the sales amount at 10 million notes."

Qin Ming waved his hand and set an astonishing goal.

After coming to this world for several years, this is the first time that Qin Ming has the opportunity to hold tens of millions of taels of silver.

Qian Cai was filled with excitement and immediately turned around to inform the people who were still waiting outside.

That night, hundreds of thousands of workers were hired by Qin Ming and factory construction began on the site.

With the money in hand, Qin Ming's spending was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

With a team of hundreds of thousands of people, Chen Shimao predicted that it would only take half a month to complete the construction of several factories.

Just as they were taking action.

Emperor Qian of the Northern Dynasty also got wind of Qin Ming's news...
