Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!
Chapter 346 Emperor Qian is tempted to steal business opportunities
Because of the escape of officials within the court, Emperor Qian now has very few people available.
Even intelligence work has many omissions.
For example, the court could not even investigate some of Qin Ming's daily confidential matters. Even if they tried hard to investigate, the opportunity would have been too late.
"Your Majesty, here are today's newspapers."
Early in the morning, in the imperial study, Wang Bao, with a limp, handed in today's newspaper.
Although he was reluctant to admit the role of newspapers, Emperor Qian had indeed now used newspapers as a source of intelligence.
"This note sale... the gains were so huge?"
I saw in the newspaper that the bills promoted by Qin Ming and others were sold for five million taels in just a few hours.
Emperor Qian couldn't help but feel moved.
The Northern Dynasty is now in turmoil. The problem of lack of officials can be temporarily solved by someone else, but the lack of money makes it difficult for them to move forward.
If we could emulate Qin Ming, we could let the imperial court also issue bills and obtain money from the people and the aristocratic families.
Maybe it can support the subsequent war consumption and build a few factories at the same time.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true. Now everyone in the world knows that they have made a fortune."
Wang Bao's words were the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Emperor Qian no longer hesitated and waved his hand, saying:
"Spread the news in the capital that Daqian is going to open a factory. We can use the same method to absorb some of the money."
Emperor Qian believed that no matter how powerful Qin Ming's methods were, they could never compare to his own.
After all, Daqian has a very deep foundation. The big families and common people around the capital alone have more silver than those in the Central Plains.
Therefore, if he could replicate Qin Ming's method, he would earn more than just several million taels.
It is estimated that it is possible to earn tens of millions of taels of silver in one go!
"It's a good idea, but it's already been used by me."
Emperor Qian raised a mocking smile.
If I use Qin Ming's method to suppress Qin Ming, I believe all the ministers in the court will submit to my wisdom and bravery!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After receiving the order, Wang Bao also felt that Emperor Qian's method was very good.
So he immediately went down and started spreading the news.
Notices were soon posted in front of several city gates in the capital.
"The imperial court intends to build three factories. The construction of these factories will be carried out through the sale of bills to cooperate with the people..."
Liu Yueli stood in front of the west city gate, looking at everything in front of her in surprise.
"This Emperor Qian is really a quick learner. He wants to imitate Your Majesty without even having to slap his forehead."
Liu Yueli knew a lot about the preparations Qin Ming had made.
Because you never know when the people will come and exchange the bills for silver.
Qin Ming asked Chen Shimao and Qian Cai to prepare 30% of the silver as a guarantee.
In addition, it is necessary to calculate whether their industry can make stable profits.
Many considerations were taken into account before the construction of several factories.
Qin Ming will only allow them to build after he is sure that they can make money and guarantee profits for the people and major families.
Emperor Qian, on the other hand, got carried away and directly learned Qin Ming's methods.
They probably had no consideration of whether to build a textile mill or a firearms factory, where to build it, whether it would be profitable, and how much money to set aside for emergencies.
"I guess in his opinion, making money this way is like picking up something for free."
Chang Baishan on the side curled his lips in disdain.
Ever since the Southern and Northern Dynasties completely split apart, Emperor Qian has been secretly harassing Qin Ming.
In order to prevent the other party's insidious tactics from affecting oneself.
Qin Ming ordered Chang Baishan and Liu Yueli to lead the secret guards to the Northern Dynasty to investigate the situation.
"Brother Chang, do I need to report this to His Majesty?"
"Of course, I have a feeling that the Northern Dynasty is going to be in big trouble."
Chang Baishan has followed Qin Ming for many years. As the saying goes, even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen pigs walk.
Qin Ming had no reservations about the people around him, and had previously told him that this business model was very risky.
Therefore, Chang Baishan believed that if this news could reach Qin Ming's ears, he would definitely be able to seize Daqian's loopholes, and perhaps even make Emperor Qian unable to laugh anymore.
"Then I will continue my investigation here. You can go back."
Liu Yueli also agreed, so Chang Baishan immediately got on the carriage and headed towards Luocheng.
Three days later, Chang Baishan rushed back and came to Qin Ming to report all the details about Emperor Qian.
"Your Majesty, they've plagiarized your methods again!"
Chang Baishan was a little indignant. To be honest, it was very difficult for Lingnan to develop all the way.
But the people of the Northern Dynasties were different. They were so shameless that they would just copy anything good they saw.
Although the ideas he copied were often mixed, one thing we have to admit is that Qin Ming's new ideas did bring about huge changes to the Northern Dynasties and benefited them.
"We absolutely cannot tolerate this time!"
Chang Baishan chattered on and on about what he had seen and heard.
Emperor Qian really didn't change at all. When Qin Ming built a factory, he built a factory. When Qin Ming raised money, he raised money.
Even the propaganda methods are exactly the same.
Qin Ming didn't react much after hearing the news, and his face remained calm.
After thinking for a moment, he shrugged and said:
"Old Chang, do you think there are big loopholes in their actions?"
"Of course it's big!"
"In your opinion, how can I defeat Bei Chao in this kind of money-playing battlefield?"
"This one……"
Chang Baishan was stunned by the question. He only knew that Qin Ming could definitely curb the Northern Dynasty, but he didn't know how.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll ask Wan Shu to come find you soon."
Chang Baishan felt relieved when Qin Ming agreed to this matter.
"That!"
After he left, Qin Ming counted the existing bill shares.
Then he called Wan Shu over.
"Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"
Wan Shu arrived quickly. She had recently done a great job leading the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce in fulfilling Qin Ming's instructions.
Not only did the price of factory bills increase, but the people in Daqian also accepted the liquidity of the bills.
The most important factor in determining whether a currency can realize its value is whether it can be recognized as valuable by others.
And this step is precisely the most difficult.
Fortunately, Qin Ming, as the first person in the world to try something new, did it quickly.
"You've made a lot of money recently, haven't you?"
Qin Ming poured a cup of tea for Wan Shu and asked with a smile.
Wan Shu was very smart and clear-headed. Since Qin Ming had asked her, she told him the truth:
"Not bad. As you said, I've been driving up the price by selling it from one hand to the other, and now I've made over 300,000 taels of silver."
"If you hadn't asked me to deliberately suppress the price, the increase might have exceeded 30%."
As a businessman, Wan Shu could have earned more.
But in that case, Qin Ming would probably kick them out of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce and never take them with him again.
Wan Shu still understood the difference between having a full meal and having a full meal every time.
"Having the price suppressed like this is not going to be convenient for you to exert your power. The Lingnan Chamber of Commerce can't come up with just a mere one million taels of silver, right?"
Qin Ming suddenly asked with a smile.
Wan Shu's heart moved, and he covered his mouth and chuckled:
"Why, Your Majesty, do you want to give me some convenience?"
