Chapter 1231: The rich can rival the country

Ye Chunqiu rarely deals with royal noble girls, but for the first time he came into contact with this noble eldest princess, he felt that it was excellent. This Ren and the eldest princess not only did not have the kind of delicate and arrogant personality, but also seemed very kind.

Hearing Ye Chunqiu asking for poetry with her, Princess Renhe couldn't help but smile and said, "I ask for poetry from this palace? I don't dare to show off my skills." After pausing, he continued, "Who doesn't know that you are a talented man with the most famous world."

After a few pleasant greetings with the eldest princess, Ye Chunqiu said goodbye and left. However, when he came out, he felt... something strange in his heart.

Fortunately, Ye Chunqiu's ability to adapt has always been quite strong, and after a few thoughts, he became calm.

When he returned to the fiefdom outside the pass, he was about to go outside the pass. The Ye family didn't know that His Majesty had not issued an imperial edict, and Ye Chunqiu didn't intend to be too arrogant.

In essence, Ye Chunqiu knew that the resistance to being named the king of Zhenyuan this time must be quite large. But when he thought of the "absurdity" of the little emperor in the past, this is well known, but he doesn't know what trouble will happen.

However, Ye Chunqiu is somewhat looking forward to Zhenyuan Country this time.

In essence, it was just a place outside the pass, just a certain area outside the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence, and Ye Chunqiu was enclosed. Not many, just one county. It was just that the county outside the pass was larger than the county within the pass, covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters, plus Qinhuangdao, about five thousand square meters.

As for Dinghu, it seems shabby. For example, Shanggao where the prince of Shanggao is located is a wealthy place. The residents are at least 20,000 or 30,000 households. But when it comes to Qinglong, it is good to have more than 1,000 households. There were not many people in Qinhuangdao, but there were fishing villages. They did not care about the sky or the earth, but now they are committed to development. There are tens of thousands of people, but most of them are migrant populations.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to occupy the mountain as the size of a palm, and this place where no one is inhabited by thousands of miles.

After all, what Qinglong faced was the vast desert. Nabatumonk Khan had already grown up in his wings. He regarded himself as the ruler of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and controlled hundreds of thousands of strings, which was extremely powerful.

Even within the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming army only stubbornly guarded some fortresses and strongholds, there were hundreds of tribes. Although the tribes depended on the Ming Dynasty, they were not binding enough for them because of their own system, and they often did their own way. Especially for many small tribes, once the Ming Dynasty gave some benefits, they moved their clans to the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty to graze. Once there was any dispute, they were bold and unwilling. After attacking the Ming army, they led their troops into the desert and went to kneel down and lick Batumonk.

"This is a place where the world is transformed. In fact, there is no benevolence, righteousness and morality. It is better than anyone's fist." Ye Chunqiu thought to himself.

In fact, Ye Chunqiu was named the so-called king of Zhenyuan Kingdom, which sounded very noble, but in essence, he was just a chief enthroned by the Ming Dynasty outside the pass.

Of course, the only advantage is that this Zhenyuan Chief was richer than those ordinary tribes.

After Ye Chunqiu returned to Ye’s mansion, he did not show any expression at the moment. When he saw Old Lady Ye, he just said hello.

But when I arrived at the small hall, I immediately asked someone to find Ye Dong.

Ye Dong bowed to Ye Chunqiu and said, "Young Master, what are your instructions?"

Ye Dong felt a little strange. In the past, Ye Chunqiu usually did not care about foreign affairs when he returned home. He could only report some situations at home on time when he got up early in the morning. Ye Chunqiu just gave a few instructions as he pleased.

But as soon as he got home, he came to him, and Ye Dong had to be rigorous. The young master seemed to have something urgent today.

I heard Ye Chunqiu say: "How much silver does the Ye family have to use now? You don't have to rush to flip through the account books, just say it."

There are two accounts in Zhenguo Mansion, one is the public account. This is the flow of funds within Zhenguo Mansion and is responsible for the China Merchants Bureau. This silver is owned by Zhenguo Mansion and is used for dividends and investments. However, the Ye family also has its own private accounts. This private account is actually Ye Chunqiu's own money, which comes from Tongjitang and the dividends from Zhenguo Mansion. However, these silvers are not used much. Except for some necessary investments, most of them are not used in the account.

After all, the Ye family was not a big family at the beginning, so the silver was not a big deal. Moreover, ordinary people bought land in large quantities when they had silver. Ye Chunqiu was not very interested in purchasing land, and most of these real money were still stored.

In the past, Ye Chunqiu rarely asked the private treasury of the Ye family. How much money does Ye have? Old Mrs. Ye asked more.

At this time, Ye Dong was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly said: "Tongjitang has expanded very quickly in recent years. Although there is some investment, the surplus is not small. In a year, the net profit is millions of silver. Now, the silver in Tongjitang alone is roughly 2.5 million taels; as for the dividends of Zhenguo Mansion, there are more. The income of Zhenguo Mansion is now astonishing, with more than 20 million taels of silver a year. This is still a net profit. The Ye family has 30% dividends. Putting aside more than half of the fixed income investment of Zhenguo Mansion, the dividends are also around 3 million taels. The Ye family has also done some other transactions. Now, there are more than 9.3 million taels of silver deposited on the Ye family's books."

I don’t know if I don’t ask. Ye Chunqiu only knew that he was very rich, but now when he heard this number, his mind was a little twitching.

This is a rhythm that wealth is as good as a country.

More than nine million taels is such a great wealth, and the Ye family's income is still growing like a snowball. If calculated like this, the Ye family's income will probably be around four or five million taels of silver every year in the future, which is enough to make Ye Chunqiu squander the money in Zhenyuan Country.

Ye Chunqiu was shocked and suddenly felt that he had a lot of confidence. If he really went to Zhenyuan Country to become a vassal, Ye Chunqiu had many disadvantages. It was cold and the land in the middle of the country was too small, with too few people, and surrounded by wolves, so it was difficult to have several advantages. But now it seems that his biggest advantage is that he has money.

Ye Chunqiu's mood suddenly became relaxed and he smiled at Ye Dong and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'll sort out the accounts in the past few days, and I'll still use it."

Ye Dong couldn't help but say, "Young Master, did something happen?"

Ye Chunqiu knew that he felt something was strange, and pondered for a moment, then said, "There is nothing, it's just a thousand days to save the silver. I'm afraid it's about to come when I use it for a while."

After all, silver is just something outside of the body. Ye Chunqiu doesn't feel hurt. In fact, although Ye Chunqiu is not too luxurious in his personal life, he believes in himself very much. Well, when he spends money, he must be not a human being.
