After leaving the Ministry of Works, Yongqi sat in her carriage and half-lay down to rest.
He was enjoying the most comfortable life of this era.
"Xiao De Zi, let's go to the Fragrance Restaurant for dinner today.”
"Scum!"
Fragrance Restaurant was one of Yongqi's properties.
Yongqi didn't lack money.
However, the exchange system calculated that Yongqi's money was not something that could be dealt with by the salary surplus.
The welfare of the prince's sub-residence was not bad. Not only did he have a large number of manors, but he also had a large number of servants and assistants, as well as various types of property.
Yongqi did not have much money left every month. According to the system's system, she earned 100 taels of silver to exchange for 1 point. Yongqi's monthly salary should only be converted to about 10 points.
In other words, Yongqi could only generate 10 exchange points every month.
He had 10 points from the Golden Lock the day before yesterday, 1000 points from the official seal yesterday, 100 points from the steam engine blueprint, and 800 points from Old Rao. Now, he only had 110 points left. Yongqi had to think about what to do first.。
Right now, Yongqi's exchange points were still too little.
He might as well keep the golden lock in his residence and have sex every night. He would have 300 points in a month.
? Thinking of the golden lock that night, Yongqi still had a lingering taste.
That butt.
Perky
That pair of long legs.
tight
And that tongue.
It was soft.
....
However, Jinsuo should still be waiting with Ziwei for Qianlong to leave the palace with Little Swallow!
Yongqi had to find some time to think of a way to get Jinsuo to come over.
What's the point of serving Ziwei, you have to come and serve this king.
The sofa in the carriage was not bad.
When the time came, he would press that girl here to play with her.
............
Just as Yongqi was fantasizing, Xiao Dezi's voice rang out from outside the carriage.
"Master, we have arrived at the Fragrance Restaurant."
"Yes."
Fragrance Restaurant was a restaurant located at the intersection of the inner and outer city. It was four stories high and could be considered a mid-to-high-end restaurant.
This was the property that Yongqi's cheap mother had sent over when she was in Yongqi's branch.
There were a total of three restaurants, and Yongqi came to the main restaurant.
In the feudal dynasty, merchants had the lowest status. This was equivalent to Yongqi's mother seeking Yongqi's protection for her family.
In fact, according to common sense, officials and merchants should be relatively separate.
Merchants paid taxes according to the state regulations, and no organization or individual had the right to ask them to pay this or that money.
However, in a society like the Qing Dynasty, which did not abide by rules, the fate of merchants was completely in the hands of officials. If officials wanted merchants to go down the river, they would not dare to go ashore. No matter how legally the money earned by merchants was, as long as officials wanted to take out your money, you had to pay it out quickly.
Yongqi was the eldest son of the emperor, so naturally no one dared to find trouble with him.
It was not because they did not know how to run a business, but because some officials in the Qing Dynasty often killed the goose that laid the golden eggs.
In addition to the random fine, the government would also let the traveling merchants 'blood flow freely in the event of famine or the emperor's birthday.
Yongqi also knew that from 1773 to 1835, traveling merchants had "donated" 5.085 million taels of silver to the imperial court, and the actual amount donated was even more.
For example, in 1833, it was said that the donation of the Jardine Maison family had reached 500,000 taels of silver.
After 1840, the Qing government frequently went to war with foreign countries. Every time they lost, they would lose. At this time, the traveling merchants became the meat of Tang Sanzang.
In 1841, the Qing army was defeated by the Ying people and was forced to pay 6 million silver dollars to the British to redeem the city (Guangzhou). The traveling merchant Wu Bingjian paid 1.1 million yuan alone.
After the Qing and Ying countries signed the " Nanjing treaty ", they compensated 21 million yuan, of which a few million silver dollars were shared with the traveling merchants.
The greedy knife of the Qing officials fell on the businessmen, but the pain was on the entire society.
Yongqi knew that there was a law to business behavior. The politics were clear and the environment was relaxed. Merchants did business smoothly. After making money, they would provide more employment opportunities and increase investment in scientific research step by step, so that the productivity of society could be improved.
Once the industrial and commercial sector became active, the country's financial resources would have a steady stream of assurance.
With money, the country could produce modern weapons, build schools with advanced teaching facilities, build hospitals, and improve the basic quality of the people.
In this way, it would be difficult for the country not to become strong.
Once the officials unscrupulously ripped off the merchants, it would be difficult for ordinary merchants to make money. A small number of merchants who made money only wanted to move to other countries. It was unlikely that they would have the ambition to do greater things, let alone think of how to use their wealth to serve the country. Naturally, the country would decline.
Business was also the focus of Yongqi's future administration.
