Because the emperor wanted to raise money to build roads, Shao Shuhua had to work hard to earn money.

Tired is tiring, and the benefits are not without, at least now, Shao Shuhua has some real power in her hands - since the emperor wants Shao Shuhua to make money for the treasury, he must do his best to support her in policy. Now, part of the power of the Supervisor of Rites It was also under Shao Shuhua's control.

When the emperor first came to the throne, the eunuch was still the empress dowager. Unfortunately, after Chengen’s government seized the title and Princess Jiahe was demoted, the empress dowager became more and more unpopular. Even within the palace, a lot of power has been lost.

The power of the Supervisor of Ceremonies was given away abruptly by the Empress Dowager in order to protect her daughter.Now, it is cheaper for Shao Shuhua.Shao Shuhua has gained an excellent reputation among the people, and even scholars are willing to speak for her, but taking advantage of the situation and being powerful are two different things.

After gaining power, Shao Shuhua really had a certain right to speak in the court, and only then did people really want to be used by her.

Those who did not deal with Shao Shuhua often made a point of saying that this matter was not in compliance with the rules, but they were all suppressed by the emperor's "following expediency".Now, it's just waiting for Shao Shuhua to do a good job and stop the mouths of this group of people.

The emperor had great confidence in Shao Shuhua. Ever since Shao Shuhua fell to his side, the queen mother had a lot of power, and he took the opportunity to take back a lot of power. There is no doubt that Shao Shuhua played a role in each of these incidents.If he hadn't had confidence in Shao Shuhua's ability, the emperor would not have supported Shao Shuhua under such great pressure.

Now, although the Empress Dowager is retreating every step of the way, the emperor has gathered a lot of power in his hands, but this is not enough, he must add more bargaining chips for himself.Only in this way, the queen mother will become more and more anxious, and will make mistakes when she is in a hurry.Although the Zhu Mansion no longer has much reputation to speak of, the Empress Dowager's reputation has not yet fallen.After fighting against the queen mother for so many years, the emperor knows his aunt best. In the case of repeated misses, the queen mother can still sit on the Diaoyutai, there must be some backhand.Even if the emperor is dominant at this time, he dare not underestimate the queen mother.

The emperor has his own considerations. For Shao Shuhua, the most important thing at present is to make money and build roads, so as to accumulate political capital for the emperor and herself.The Empress Dowager can barely use the reason that the Emperor is young and ignorant, not to return to the Emperor, but if the Emperor himself has made meritorious deeds, her reason will not be able to deceive anyone.Now those who persecute the Empress Dowager are only some loyal officials who were loyal to the late Emperor and the Emperor. In the future, those who persecute the Empress Dowager will be the general trend of the world.

After thinking it through, Shao Shuhua began to think about how to make more money in a short period of time.Shao Shuhua still separates public and private matters. Although the industries under her name are very profitable, there is absolutely no reason to subsidize the national treasury from her own pocket.Furthermore, her money is a huge sum of money in the eyes of ordinary people, but if it is really used for economic and people's livelihood, it can be said to be a drop in the bucket.

If you want to make the money in the national treasury and the royal private treasury richer, it is safe to use these capitals to generate money.

Shao Shuhua bit her lip and thought for a while, then slapped her forehead, and not long after, she went to the palace to find her cheap brother.Now, as a princess, she has quite a status in the palace, whenever she wants to see the emperor, she will never be refused.

After she entered the emperor's imperial study, she didn't know what she said to the emperor, and she muttered for a while. On the second day, the royal newspaper published a news: the royal family was about to start building a bank.

Not only did the royal newspaper publicize the news, even the newsboys wandering the streets and alleys also used plain and clear words to let the common people understand what kind of existence this bank really is.

To be honest, when people first heard about the functions of banks, they were confused.If a bank is a place where people save money, how is it different from a bank?Banks have always been opened by merchants, so why is the royal family interested in joining in?

Later, when they heard that the bank was created by Princess Anhe, people realized that among the royal family, only Princess Anhe knew how to deal with such things.The other members of the royal family either disdain to do these things, or have no talent for business. In short, they are better than An and Princess in terms of making money. So far, I have never seen one.

Since the Shilaozi Bank was created by Ann and the princess, the question arises again, what are Ann and the princess doing?Everyone knows that Princess Anhe is never the kind of person who is aimless. Every action that others can't understand has a purpose behind it, and her vision and action are by no means comparable to that of ordinary women.So, what is she trying to do?

Nowadays, not only scholars are discussing this matter, but common people are also discussing this matter.There is no way, the advertisement of Anhe Princess is too good, and the few things she did before have greatly improved people's confidence in her.Some things, it might be fooling around on others, but when it comes to Princess Anhe, people can't help but guess what her intentions are.

Just the first day when the news was released, it attracted countless speculations from the common people and scholars.Even the officials of the DPRK and China cannot help but care about this matter after they leave the DPRK.Even the emperor was involved in this incident, which shows that it is not an ordinary fight.

Shao Shuhua is well versed in the principle of gradual progress. She raised questions on the first day, but did not answer any questions on the second and third days, until everyone's appetite was whetted, and everyone's attention to this matter reached a new high. At the time of the tide, the role of the bank was formally explained to them in a way that everyone could understand.

When they heard that saving money in it could earn interest, the people below were shocked.

"Well, don't you think so? Ordinarily, when you deposit money in a bank, don't you still have to charge money? If you deposit money in the... Shilaozi Bank opened by the princess, instead of charging a storage fee, you will also send us the money?" Many people find it quite incredible.

"How can there be such a good thing in the world!" Someone sneered and said: "If something is abnormal, it must be a demon. I see, [-]% of it is someone who wants to cheat the hard-earned money of our people and not return it to us. Here The land was opened by the royal family, and if the time comes, if we refuse to pay back the money, where are we powerless ordinary people going to reason? We must suffer this dumb loss!"

"This, no way? Princess Anhe has always cared about us common people the most. How could he do such a wicked thing? Besides, this matter was also promised by the emperor. The emperor has always been kind, so he will definitely not harm us like this."

"Then, if you are asked to take out the money you have worked so hard to save and hand it over to... Shilaozi Bank, would you be willing?" The speaker pointed out the crux of the problem.

"This..." Although they trust Shao Shuhua and the emperor, but it is related to the foundation of their own lives, many people still hesitate: "But, after all, I can get more money by depositing it..." The money is in their hands, but No interest.If it is used to do small business, not everyone has the courage.

The person who was the first to slander the bank Xun Xundao: "We all know the kindness of the emperor and Princess Anhe, but there are some cunning slaves who deceive the top and bottom! This matter sounds like a trap. Why do we get money by depositing silver? After a while, what will the princess use to send us money? It’s a business that can’t be done at first glance, and you can believe it!”

People's acceptance of new things is limited after all, even if this person doesn't say anything, they may not dare to throw their hard-earned money to places they have never heard of.This person spoke with a nose and eyes, and every sentence hit their concerns. At the moment, no one dared to mention the matter of depositing money in the bank.

On the contrary, the court officials, wives and the businessmen below, after learning about this, moved their minds.

What they lack is never a few taels of silver.If you pay some silver, you can win the favor of the emperor and Princess Anhe, they really wish for it.

At that moment, many people prepared money and handed it over to the Supervisor of Rites.

They don't expect to make any money for the money, if they lose it, they will treat it as a waste of time.If you can win the favor of noble people, even if you lose everything, it is worth it.

Although the money invested by court wives and officials was not much, it was a lot when added together, totaling 15 taels.After finishing the accounts, Shao Shuhua ordered people to put away the money.She knew in her heart that most of the money invested by these people was aimed at the emperor.

In addition, businessmen who had cooperated with Shao Shuhua also rushed to send money to the Supervisor of Rites.They have money, and their spending is much bigger than that of official wives. Moreover, many of them have cooperated with Shao Shuhua and have confidence in Shao Shuhua, so naturally they dare to invest large sums of money in Shao Shuhua.Even those who don't know Shao Shuhua, seeing that the rest of the merchants spend so much money, are afraid that they will offend the emperor and princess by investing less money.

The money invested by the businessmen was really not a small amount, a full 1106 million taels.

Shao Shuhua was quite satisfied with being able to raise these coins initially.Although she knew that the money was nothing to the wealthy merchants, what did it matter?In the future, when she shows the corresponding ability, these people will naturally entrust more wealth to her.When the bank's storage capacity is large enough, it will be the day when lending is opened.Shao Shuhua said that she was not in a hurry, not at all.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but now, although she can't say she got off to a good start, the beginning was smooth, and that's enough.As for more...Let's see later!

Before the bank was opened, a large sum of money and silver had already been obtained. The emperor was in admiration of his sister's ability as a white wolf.

However, while he was happy, he was also worried.The interest promised by my sister to those depositors is not a small amount. Although the depositors have stated that they will never withdraw the money from the bank within the next year, if Shao Shuhua fails to earn such a sum after one year Too much money, but what to do?

Regarding this, Shao Shuhua only smiled faintly: "Since the emperor entrusts this matter to my sister, just wait with peace of mind. My sister will definitely live up to the entrustment of my brother."

Later, Shao Shuhua bought land and built a building to serve as the headquarters of the Royal Bank, and then spent another month buying and repairing ships.It wasn't until a convoy of sailors and Shao Shuhua's communicative people set sail that everyone knew what Shao Shuhua wanted to do.

After more than a month, Shao Shuhua's fleet returned with doubled money, and the people who doubted Shao Shuhua finally shut up.

How could Ann and Princess pay back the depositor's capital!She is clearly collecting everyone's money in one place, and giving out red envelopes to everyone after earning money!

Ever since they knew that those who deposited money in the Royal Bank earned a lot of interest, the common people couldn't sit still anymore, and deposited silver in the Royal Bank in twos and threes.Regardless of the dismantling of the amount is not large, or the same sentence, add up to a lot.After all, the base of the common people is there. Moreover, some sons of squires are also quite wealthy. With this amount, they have actually brought in another 4 to [-] taels of silver. However, at this time, the money is no longer considered a whole The pen is too large.

Shao Shuhua rewarded those who went to sea heavily.Those people were also surprised. They never expected that a trip to the sea would yield such a huge profit.

Some things that are common in Daxia, such as tea, silk, etc., can be sold at sky-high prices even if they are sent overseas with mediocre quality, which makes them see great business opportunities.Without Shao Shuhua's instructions, they were already sharpening their swords about going to sea again.

The second time, the fleet went to a farther place, and it took a full two and a half months to return to Daxia.It is said that this time, they encountered some risks. A small boat accidentally hit a rock in the offshore. Thanks to the quick response of the rest of the crew, they rescued the people on board in time, so there were no casualties.However, the belongings in that small boat were not saved.

If this is the case, the fleet can be called lucky.After all, it is not unheard of for people to be short of money.

Today, the fleet lost only one small boat and no casualties, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

Since then, the fleet has become more cautious. Before returning to Daxia, nothing like this happened again.

High risk means high return. This time, the crew went to sea and brought back five or six times the profit.

Although everyone has understood that going to sea is an extremely dangerous thing, the huge profits are worth their risk!

After Shao Shuhua sent the fleet to sea twice, the merchants with the keenest sense of smell could no longer sit still.They also want a piece of the action!The market at sea is so big, and the crew members who came back said that the supply is completely in short supply. Since this is the case, the royal family will not object to their participation, right?

After discussing with the emperor, Shao Shuhua told the businessmen that this method is feasible.However, if they want to go to sea, the merchants have to pay [-]% of the tax to the court after the fleet returns.If the merchant ship needs naval escort, the tax amount is [-]%.

Although the tax is heavy, it can't hold back the attractive profits of going to sea.Even so, many people are willing to sail far.

However, Shao Shuhua also told them that the fleet will not leave the port in the next two or three months.

Without him, the route traveled by the Royal Fleet will continue to be affected by the monsoon.Shao Shuhua was unwilling to let her crew take risks at this time.Otherwise, if something happened, who would she cry to?

If so, after waiting for another three months, the merchants finally got their chance.This time, they seized the opportunity and made a fortune.

Although the imperial court ate the big head, they could still eat some meat and drink a big bowl of fresh soup.

Furthermore, the size of the court's navy is now expanding, and it has begun to open up new shipping routes. I believe it will not be long before they will be able to eat fat and fresh meat.

In addition to making a lot of money, the businessmen also became more and more convinced that they would have meat to hang out with Shao Shuhua.

Later, the merchants ran out of money to deposit in the Royal Bank.There is no other reason, in order to earn more money, they began to borrow money from the Royal Bank!Although the interest rate is not low, it is nothing compared to the profits that can be obtained.Interested people found that in the end, the biggest winner is still Royal Bank.

Merchants often travel to and from the sea, seeing that the royal family makes a lot of money every time, how can they have no idea?After several trips back and forth at sea led by the court's navy, some merchants' minds gradually became active.It would be great if we could pay less tax to the court!

Now, they thought to themselves that they were familiar with the two shipping routes. If so, why did they need the navy of the imperial court to follow?If you go by yourself, you can save [-]% of the tax, that's a full [-]%!

Driven by interests, businessmen began to take risks.Unexpectedly, the first - shot - failed to fire.

A small fleet was robbed by pirates while crossing the strait. The people were fine, but their belongings were looted.

Facing the fierce pirates, the merchants realized how safe it was to be protected by the imperial navy.

Since then, there have been fewer people who want to abandon the imperial court and go it alone. After all, no matter how lucrative the profits are, one has to live to enjoy them, right?Even those merchants who are not waiting to go to sea in person have to think carefully whether it is more cost-effective to fight for the [-]% of the profit at the risk of emptying the bamboo basket, or it is more cost-effective to accept the protection of the imperial court safely.

The answer is self-evident.

Furthermore, a shrewd businessman discovered that when the imperial navy and Princess Anhe's fleet went out to sea, they always avoided the most dangerous period of the sea, so they couldn't help but be more convinced by the imperial court and Princess Anhe.Following the imperial court, life safety and money are guaranteed.

When the agreed one-year contract expires, everyone is content.The people, officials, and wives who deposited money in the Royal Bank got their own principal and interest. Seeing the benefits, they couldn't close their mouths.They have seen Shao Shuhua's ability to make money, and they are very confident in Shao Shuhua and the Royal Bank. If they are not in a hurry to spend money, they will continue to deposit the principal and interest in the Royal Bank, waiting for the money to generate money.Some noble ladies have also increased their deposits. If they had known that Shao Shuhua could really make money, why would they invest more money in the Royal Bank!

Some of the prince's mansions that didn't invest money in the Royal Bank at the beginning regretted it to death.A year ago, they said that those who invested money were fools and sycophants.Now, they are afraid that they will not be able to get along with the emperor and Princess Anhe, and they have not received benefits, so it is too late to regret.

Some are happy and some are sad.

The emperor doesn't know about other people's affairs.He himself, after receiving the bill from the Royal Bank, his first feeling was not surprise, but shock!The assets in the national treasury have increased dozens of times compared to when they were just handed over to Shao Shuhua.

Although he was mentally prepared for Shao Shuhua's ability to make money, the emperor still wanted to kneel down and call his mother this time.

Unexpectedly, his royal sister, who has a lot of money, can do this to this extent!

Such a large amount of wealth has been created in such a short period of time, his imperial sister must be the daughter of the God of Wealth, right?right?

Now, there is no need to worry about the money for road construction, and everything is available.The emperor thought indifferently, oh, by the way, those people who are always chattering can also shut up!Princess Anhe is so capable, if she is not delegated power to her, is it possible to delegate power to some wine bags and rice bags?

After this incident, Shao Shuhua entered the center of power in the imperial court justifiably.Although she doesn't intervene in political affairs, her influence on the court and even the entire country is beyond doubt.In order to reward Shao Shuhua, the emperor named Shao Shuhua the princess of the town.Regarding this matter, none of the ministers jumped out to sing the opposite - he was really numb after being tossed about by Shao Shuhua.

After solving the financial problem, Shao Shuhua began to discuss with the emperor about building roads.

Because Shao Shuhua was so profitable, the emperor approved the road repair work between several important cities with a swipe of the pen.Shao Shuhua secretly complained about the emperor's words of burning money and prodigal, but she also knew in her heart that if roads could be built between these cities, in the future, it would not matter whether it was for her own business or for the promotion of these cities. In terms of development, there are great benefits.Therefore, after complaining, she also pinched her nose and admitted.

Anyway, it was her imperial brother who made the most of the talk, and she must be the one who got hurt in the end.Hey, I'm afraid she was born to work hard.

In addition to the roads connecting several major cities, road repairs at the border gates have also received considerable attention.

The emperor didn't know the situation at the border, so Shao Shuhua rarely asked Ye Jingze to discuss it.

Thinking of Ye Jingze, Shao Shuhua's heart was full of complexities, sour, astringent, sweet...it seemed to have everything.

These days, Shao Shuhua and Ye Jingze didn't meet each other very often, but they never lost contact.

Ever since Shao Shuhua reconciled with Zhu Erduo, Ye Jingze finally lost his scruples. No matter what good things he got, he never forgot to send a copy to Shao Shuhua's princess mansion.Sometimes when I saw something and got some insights, I didn't forget to write it down on paper and let Shao Shuhua know.

He is using his own way to moisten things and enter Shao Shuhua's life silently.

After Shao Shuhua released a new product at Hexiang Pavilion, she did not forget to send a copy to Ye Jingze's house.In the beginning, the items sent were all for women, under the name of giving to Ye Jingze's younger sister. I don't know when, the items sent to Ye Jingze's house were used by both men and women, and they didn't specifically specify who they were for.

Occasionally, when she was free, Shao Shuhua would also think about what Ye Jingze was doing.

She still doesn't know if she really likes Ye Jingze, but there is no doubt that communicating with him makes her feel very comfortable.As long as she thought of him, her heart was filled with peace.

She said that after she divorced, she would give Ye Jingze an answer.

It took her two or three years to think about the answer.

She felt that it might be good to live with Ye Jingze.
