Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 340
"Because in this way, many people will envy you, Long Live, after all, Qianqing Palace is so beautiful. As long as they are envious, I can find a way to let them build their own mansions with reinforced concrete, and then I can quickly repair the Qianqing Palace. The more than 200 million taels of silver from the Qing Palace were earned back."

Zhang Qingfeng said to Emperor Wanli: "I have calculated that if the craftsmen who built Qianqing Palace keep building houses for others, I guarantee that within a year, you can earn a million taels of silver for you, Long Live Lord."

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Emperor Wanli's eyes lit up.

"Okay, well said, how can there be no move-in ceremony after the Qianqing Palace is built? Don't worry, Ai Qing, I will invite all the civil and military officials and nobles, as well as the big landlords, rich people and big merchants in the capital to come. Watch the ceremony and have fun with the people!" Emperor Wanli obviously understood what Zhang Qingfeng meant, and then said to Zhang Qingfeng.

As long as it can make money for him, let alone let people visit his Qianqing Palace, even if they let people stay for a period of time, there is no problem.

Next, Emperor Wanli issued a decree to the Ministry of Rites, asking the officials of the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for the ceremony of his relocation to the Qianqing Palace, and invited all civil and military officials, clans, nobles, and famous and wealthy people in the capital to attend the ceremony.

After receiving the order of Emperor Wanli, although the officials of the Ministry of Rites were helpless, they quickly took action.

In the past two years, many people have been very curious about the new Qianqing Palace Empress.

On the day when Emperor Wanli moved into the Qianqing Palace, almost all civil and military officials and dignitaries in the capital who were qualified to participate in the ceremony came.

At the same time, Zhang Qingfeng also invited countless prominent and rich landlords and businessmen in the capital, there were hundreds of people.

The ceremony held by the Ministry of Etiquette lasted for a full morning before it was completed. After that, a group of eunuchs and maids took everyone to visit the entire interior of the Qianqing Palace.

The room of Emperor Wanli is the most important object to visit. The luxurious and exquisite decoration inside makes everyone eye-opening and envious.

While visiting, Zhang Qingfeng asked people to send a business card to everyone who came to visit. If they want to build such a building in the future, people can contact him.

Sure enough, after visiting the Qianqing Palace of Emperor Wanli, many dignitaries and businessmen approached Zhang Qingfeng and wanted Zhang Qingfeng to help build houses.

Although they don't expect to be able to build a house as big as Qianqing Palace, as long as it is as beautiful and luxurious as Qianqing Palace is enough.

On the first day, Zhang Qingfeng received a deposit of more than 20 taels of silver and undertook more than a dozen house construction projects.

Moreover, this trend is increasing every day. One month later, Zhang Qingfeng has undertaken more than 180 housing projects.

These projects range from large to small, and the small ones are cement villas that can be built with tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The big ones need 10,000 + several 10 taels of silver to build a good mansion.

Zhang Qingfeng estimated that it would take about three years to build all these houses, and the cost would be about 300 million taels of silver.

After the completion, Zhang Qingfeng can earn 500 million taels of silver from these people, and can earn 60 million taels of silver in almost a year.

Among them, glass and steel bars are the ones that earn the most.

Zhang Qingfeng can make a lot of money by selling steel bars at the market price, and he no longer has to worry about running out of steel produced by the steel factory.

As for the glass, Zhang Qingfeng sells it to these rich people at the price of a luxury item in order to reap huge profits.

After Zhang Qingfeng took over more than 100 orders, he divided the craftsmen who built the Qianqing Palace into dozens of engineering teams, and the person in charge of the engineering team led these workers to build the house independently.

In other words, Zhang Qingfeng asked them to set up their own private company. Zhang Qingfeng only provided materials and funds, and how much money they could make would depend on the construction speed of these construction teams in the future.

Following Zhang Qingfeng's arrangement, the entire capital suddenly became like a large construction site, very lively.

Many engineering teams, in order to complete the construction progress as soon as possible to seize more orders, even recruited more workers one after another.

For a time, these projects in the entire capital supported at least tens of thousands of construction workers and tens of thousands of construction material manufacturing workers.

As construction engineering projects are on track, add textiles, machine building and more.Now Zhang Qingfeng can earn more than 500 million taels of silver for Emperor Wanli a year, which is more than the annual surplus of the national treasury, which is simply terrifying.

500 million taels, don't think it's too little, it's equivalent to 50 billion copper coins, if you change it to copper, you need more than 5000 tons of copper, and even if it's silver, there are more than 180 tons.

After several years of accumulation, Emperor Wanli now has at least tens of millions of taels of silver and millions of taels of gold stored in his inner treasury.

Millions of taels of gold, according to the exchange ratio of one to ten, are equivalent to tens of millions of taels of silver

The sum of the two is the purchasing power of 2000 million taels of silver.

Emperor Wanli had so much money, so Zhang Qingfeng naturally paid attention to it.

"Long live, this is what I think..."

On this day, Zhang Qingfeng went to the palace again to fool Emperor Wanli.

This time, he plans to use 2000 million taels of silver from Emperor Wanli to set up a bank.

In ancient times, what business was the most profitable?Not the textile industry, not the construction industry, and not the maritime trade, but the bank.

The so-called money bank is the bank of later generations, and everyone recognizes that the bank makes money.

After Zhang Qingfeng opened the bank, he could issue bank notes for exchange business, raise funds, lend money, and invest in various industries for huge profits.

In order to persuade Emperor Wanli to invest in silver to set up a bank, Zhang Qingfeng spent several days writing a detailed proposal, and personally went to the palace to explain the benefits of opening a bank to Emperor Wanli.

In the end, he promised that after the bank is on the right track, it will be able to earn millions of profits for Emperor Wanli at least a year, and the 2000 million silver only needs to be kept in the bank's warehouse to let all customers know, and there is no need to spend it all. The money.

After hearing Zhang Qingfeng's plan, Emperor Wanli only thought about it for two days before agreeing to him.

First of all, he felt that the money was just transferred from his inner treasury to the bank's treasury. As long as the bank belonged to him, the money inside would still be his.

In addition, Zhang Qingfeng's ability to make money has made him blindly trust him. Even if Zhang Qingfeng wants to invest all his family money this time, he does not hesitate much.

Because he knew that even if the 2000 million taels were lost, Zhang Qingfeng's other businesses would be able to earn back the money in a few years.

The money bank was something that Zhang Qingfeng wanted to get early on, but because of insufficient capital or manpower, he couldn't get it done before.

It's different now, there is no shortage of money, 2000 million taels is enough for him to display.

As for manpower, after he became the eunuch of the Machine Manufacturing Bureau, he has been intentionally cultivating talents in this area.
