History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

After taking a shower, Minning changed into light clothes, and Yuan Bao was carried back not long after sitting down.

"Who are here today?" Min Ning asked Bi Ying who was on the side as she watched the nanny feeding Yuan Bao.

"Several princes who have already left the palace to open the mansion have come here. Although the prince is not here, the princess is here." Bi Ying handed her a bowl of medicine.

Minning took it, and it was a bowl of milk-returning medicine. In fact, she had been drinking milk-returning medicine since ten days ago. After all, the nutrition in her milk was similar to that of other nurses at that time.

It can be handed over to the nurse for feeding.

Moreover, the food that the nanny ate was very delicate, and Minning thought it was inferior, and couldn't control his mouth, so he returned the task of breastfeeding to the nanny.

These nurses were all found by her subordinates. They were all in good health not long after giving birth, and they had checked their family backgrounds and passed through the House of Internal Affairs.

When she was pregnant, she began to look for pregnant women who were two or three months older than her. After a series of selections, four were finally selected.

Minning is not short of money, so he treats them the best. He made an agreement with them at the beginning that he would only feed them for one year at most, and then he would give them a large sum of money.

It's just that you can earn a lot of money within a year of leaving home, and many pregnant women and their families are excited.

Even if it is a bit harsh, you can only eat the food prepared by the master’s house every day, and you can’t eat anything else, but if you think about it, as long as you survive a year, you can’t eat whatever you want at that time, it’s not difficult at all.

"Master, you don't know how loud our elder brother Yuanbao's voice is, and the slaves can hear it from a long distance in the yard." Biying seemed to be honored, and the sound of crying meant that she was in good health. With the little master, the whole yard People here are active in doing things, and they can walk with their chests held high when they go out.

You must know that in the past few years, the East Courtyard had been burdened with the reputation of not being able to give birth, and it has always been inferior to Fujin and Li Gege. This time, there is finally a little master in the courtyard who is still an elder brother, and he can finally raise his chest and feel proud.

Minning watched his son breastfeed vigorously. It has been a month, and Yuan Bao's skin is no longer as red and wrinkled as when he was born.

The skin is white and tender, and the hair is black.

He had a good appetite, but Minning's milk couldn't satisfy him later, so he asked four nurses to feed him.

Not to mention, the nurses strictly followed the meals prescribed by Dr. Ye, and the nurses were surrounded by little maids who would remind them when to eat and when to drink.

To put it simply, the nurses are human-shaped breastfeeding machines, they don’t need to worry about anything, they don’t lack food or drink every day, they just need to breastfeed the little elder brother regularly.

Because the nanny ate well, the milk was rich in nutrition. Even though the edema subsided, he soon regained his milk fat.

The small arms look like lotus roots, and there are five joints in the small fist, which are clearly defined.

At this time, he was wearing a tacky red bellyband, with small silver bracelets on his limbs, and clenched his small fists, looking very cute.

Seeing that he was full, Minning hugged him from the nanny's arms, lay on her shoulders, patted his back lightly, and hugged him horizontally after he hiccupped.

The one-month-old baby has a very soft body, small hands and feet, and a small body. Minning's heart is melted.

Yuan Bao opened his eyes and blinked, looking up, although he knew that he couldn't see himself clearly, but Minning couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed him on the mouth.

"Good girl!"

Xiao Yuanbao yawned, put his fists by his hand, and quickly closed his eyes.

Minning patted his chest lightly, and the nurse took him over and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and put him on the crib.

The bed is specially made, and it can be used for two or three years. There are wheels at the bottom four corners, which can be pushed around, and there is a gauze on the top to prevent mosquitoes.

Minning drew a lot of drawings of children's cars and toys, because they had no technical content, so she asked someone to rush one over and then asked the factory to hurry up to make a batch and put them on the market directly.

After a dozen advertisements, although there are some followers, the sales are still very good.After all, ordinary people in the capital are used to the things in the factory, which is cheaper and more convenient than finding a carpenter to do it themselves.

The children's full moon greets the guests in the outer courtyard, so Minning's side is quite quiet and no one disturbs them.

Almost all the female relatives came to see her, and they didn't bother her too much when they saw her lying on the bed. Who would have thought that after the people left, she would be out of confinement.

Xiao Yuanbao's face was wrinkled at first, but in the next 20 days or so, the wrinkled skin was stretched out, but it was occupied by milk fat again, and it was hard to tell who he looked like.

His eyes inherited Aixinjueluo's Danfeng eyes. These eyes are not beautiful, but they are very interesting.

Of course, there is also Minning whose eyes automatically filter, thinking that his son is good everywhere.

Yuan Bao's mouth is very similar to his Ama, with the corners of his lips curled up, as if he was born with a smile.

Unlike the cold-faced iceberg that Fourth Master has evolved, trying to reduce the negative impact of his appearance, the child is still a pure white paper, likes to smile, and the corners of his mouth are curved, sweet enough to touch people's hearts.

Speaking of this, Minning glanced up and down at his son again, how come there is no inheritance from her?

After working so hard to conceive for ten months, the child she finally gave birth to was more like the fourth master, and Min Ning was in a panic.

The third elder brother's full moon was a happy event for Minning's mother and son, so even though fourth master was drunk, he was still sent to the east courtyard.

Smelling the intoxicating smell of alcohol, Minning hurriedly had her son's crib pushed to the next room, she didn't want her precious son to be smelled.

A maid came in with a basin, and Min Ning ended up wiping Fourth Master's face with a wrung handkerchief.He just took the strong tea handed over and poured it into fourth master.

After a while, Fourth Master vomited out with a loud vomit. Minning smelled the stench, and reflexively wanted to vomit too.

In the end, I hurriedly called someone to come and clean it. I opened the windows and turned on the fan to dissipate the smell in the room.

I don't know how much alcohol those people poured into fourth master, and he is still a little delirious.

Minning simply left him alone in the room, and ran to hide on the couch outside.

She really can't smell the smell of wine.

The next day, when fourth master came up, he covered his head and groaned.

"water……"

Minning poured a cup of tea for him.

Fourth master took a sip of her hand and asked her, "Why are you disobedient? Didn't you let you sit for two months?"

Minning put the cup back on the bed and said, "Master, I'm in good health. Dr. Ye has already checked my pulse, so there's no need to be confinement." Stuck in the room, she didn't know if she would go crazy.

The fourth master frowned, "I will ask the imperial physician to take a look at it for you later. Others are doing double full moons. Is it too little for you to only do one month?" After two months of confinement, this trend has also spread to the capital.

Minning shook her head, "Master, you don't understand, confinement doesn't mean that the longer the confinement, the better." She felt that the wounds were almost healed, and that exercising would promote the recovery of the body.

Seeing that he couldn't convince her, Fourth Master turned his head to look in the room again, and asked her, "Where's little elder brother?"

Minning helped him get up, "It's in the next room! Master, you drank too much last night, and the whole room smelled of alcohol, so you didn't dare to put him in my room. I let the nanny take him away last night." He went to sleep next door."

Fourth Master lived in Baosi for a long time without noticing the smell, heard Minning's reminder, and even sniffed his sleeves, he really smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

Feeling that his mouth was a little sour, Fourth Master felt that he could hardly bear it anymore, so he went to the small room beside him in a panic!

This room is actually a bathroom, with a porcelain washbasin and a large glass mirror.

Fourth Master used to use tooth powder to brush his teeth, but later changed to toothpaste at Minning's place, and he thought it was quite good, and the brushing felt cleaner.

After brushing his teeth and taking a good bath, fourth master felt that he had come alive.

After changing into a short shirt and shorts, fourth master put his hair on his head and walked out.

Outside, Minning was instructing people to put breakfast on the table.

Fourth master felt hungry when he took a shower just now. After all, he didn't eat anything under the quilt last night, so he was drunk by other brothers.

He had no choice but to refuse, but this time he was not half drunk and half awake like last time, and would talk nonsense, this time he was so drunk that he couldn't wake up straight away.

"You drank so much wine last night, don't eat too greasy food in the morning, drink a bowl of porridge." Minning served him a bowl of pumpkin porridge.

It was so sweet that Fourth Master, who had no appetite before, thought it tasted good, so he finished it before he knew it.

After eating a bowl of porridge, I felt the warmth in my stomach, which soothed my empty stomach. Fourth Master then subtracted the flower rolls next to him, and ate them with salted duck eggs and salted peanuts.

After eating a simple breakfast, fourth master felt refreshed, so he hurriedly went to the next door to see his youngest son.

Minning did not follow immediately, but asked people to remove the leftovers from the table.

Then he took a piece of paper from the desk in the study room and held it in his hand before going to look for fourth master.

In the next room, Fourth Master stood by the small bed and looked down at his younger son. The younger elder brother had already woken up and was looking at him with dark eyes.

Fourth master stretched out his index finger to poke his father's face, but he was caught by the little elder brother.

With his index finger held in the palm of his hand, Fourth Master showed a faint smile and made a "dedede" sound to tease his son.

Hearing footsteps, he immediately returned to his expressionless face, as if he wasn't the one who teased the child just now.

Minning pretended not to see it, but said to the fourth master, "Master, didn't I ask for the land in Hongshuikeng last year? Now the garden has almost been built, and it will open in two days, so I want to invite you help me?"

"Tell me, what can I do for you?" Fourth Master asked Minning, taking his son's hand away from his father's hand.

Minning handed the paper in his hand to the fourth master, "I plan to hold an opening ceremony, a gathering similar to a temple fair in the garden, and I need someone from Shuntian Prefecture to maintain order. Of course, it's not for public use, I will pay a fee." A sum of lost wages for the yamen servant."

Fourth master took the paper over. Although the paper was not big, there were many words on it. Fourth master read the entries one after another very slowly.

When he saw the middle, he raised his eyes and asked her, "Are you planning to hold an auction inside? What is an auction?"

Minning explained the meaning of the auction in detail, and then gave an example, "For example, if the imperial court steals an official's home, it may fall into someone's hands at a low price. If the government is unwilling to sell it at a low price, they can entrust us to auction it. We will help with the auction and only charge a small handling fee. Of course, we will pay taxes for every item I auction. After paying the taxes, our auction house will share the money with the seller.”

Fourth Master shook his head, "The flag house is not allowed to be bought or sold by the people."

Minning said, "I didn't talk about selling flag houses. These properties confiscated by the government can be listed as a new system. I call them lawsuit houses. The court houses can be auctioned off by the government, and part of the money obtained will be used as government funds. , part of it will be included in the national treasury. And it is not necessarily a house, like other antique books, it can be auctioned off according to this method."

Fourth Master murmured, "I have to think about it."

Min Ning immediately said: "You can take your time, if the government doesn't want it, let it go, Lord, I mainly want to invite you for the servant of the Shuntian government."

The fourth master shook his head, "Your auction house wait a moment, I have to ask Han Ama for instructions."

Then the fourth master continued to read, "Others are fine, but I can't interfere in this matter. The people in Shuntian Mansion belong to Khan Ama. If you want to ask him about this matter, you must first ask Khan Ama for instructions, otherwise he is not Let the yamen servants earn this money."

In the end, he said earnestly and earnestly: "The important place in the capital, don't cause trouble, if you can do it simply or simply!"

Minning was a little disappointed, but he could understand, "Then I'll make another change. The opening ceremony will be cancelled, and we will open directly."

She already felt that her business was so big that she was constrained everywhere, and she was touching the top layer of the hood of this era, which was the restriction on businessmen.Any businessman who breaks through that layer of veil will be hit by the court frantically, so she is naturally unwilling to stand out.

If you want to break free from this circle, you can only develop secretly.Minning has decided to develop horizontally and break up the entire industry into pieces to fully affect this era.

Her own development is destined to be deformed. Only by allowing the entire Qing Dynasty to flourish can the imperial court be forced to reform.

Just like the later Qing court, the Reform Movement of [-] and the Westernization Movement, all of them were the court wanting to seek a breakthrough.

This shows that the Qing Dynasty is not stubborn and self-defense. Today's Qing Dynasty is young, vigorous, and open. Times are left behind.

The two of them didn't talk about this matter in the end. Fourth Master had his own concerns. Although Minning had a thousand solutions, she couldn't do it without Fourth Master's support.

Within two days, a new piece of news was reported in the newspaper, and it spread throughout the entire capital in an instant.

"Have you heard? There is a garden in our capital, which can be entered by ordinary people. There are all kinds of rare birds and animals in it. I heard that there are also phoenix birds. No money is required for those over 60 and under 12 years old. Others Each person has a piece of paper, and you can read it as you like.”

"I knew it earlier, didn't I report it in the newspaper today? The garden is beautiful. I once helped in it, and it was built in a very grand style. There are pavilions, rockery, and a tall building, even higher than the imperial city. Gao! But what you said is wrong, you don’t need money outside, but you only need money to see rare birds and animals inside.”

Someone whispered, "The building is higher than the imperial city, isn't that overstepping the rules? Who is so bold?"

"Hey, although the building is high, the terrain is very low. It's like building a house at the foot of a mountain. It can't be higher than the mountain."

"Does it say where it is? Lend me the newspaper."

"Are you literate? Why do you want newspapers?"

"See if there are any promotional coupons in the newspaper?"

"Come on, it's only a penny, and you still want to promote? It's too stingy!"

"Nonsense, I'm thrifty!"

"Okay, stop arguing, let me tell you the address, didn't you find the treasure last year? It's right there!"

……

All kinds of topics spread throughout the capital, and the rich people who had their own gardens scoffed at it, thinking that it was too incomprehensible to build a garden and let the screwdriver get in with mud legs.

The garden was built for my own appreciation, let those people go in, do you know how to appreciate it?

However, contrary to the expectations of the rich, the tickets for the Rare Birds and Animals Garden were sold out quickly. Obviously, the people in the capital are very interested in it.

On weekdays, high-ranking and large families have high walls and cannot enter, so with this garden, the common people can also use it to see the world.

For the next month, the garden received a large number of tourists every day, which made the people who cared about it settle their accounts.

Although a penny is not much, but the accumulation is not a small amount.Calculated in this way, one day the cost of building the garden will be recovered, and the garden will be for nothing at that time.

People who spent millions of dollars to build gardens felt a little flustered in their hearts. Some families were short of money. Although there were no gardens in the capital, businessmen with large gardens in the south of the Yangtze River also had small ideas.

Anyway, the garden is empty, and I don’t go there once a year, and I have to spend a lot of money to maintain it every year, so I might as well take it out to earn some money, which can also make up for some expenses.

Soon several letters were sent from the capital to the north and south of the river.

The days passed by smoothly, and although the auction house opened, it was very low-key, only auctioning items received by itself, and only a few merchants received invitations.

Minning started the ordinary life of raising his son in the backyard,

When the child was three months old, the owner finally moved in to the yard next door that had been vacant for several years.

The Eighth Prince finally moved out of the palace with Eight Fujin.

When congratulating the housewarming, Minning carried his son and followed Fujin to the past.

The eighth prince looks handsome, obviously he inherited more good concubines, but the eighth prince is really beautiful, his peach blossom eyes are raised, and he looks a bit charming when he squints slightly. Among the many ordinary-looking Fujin, that small appearance is really first-class good-looking .

"This is little elder brother, isn't it? Last time, our Lord Baylor and I hadn't left the palace, so we didn't have time to drink the little elder brother's full moon wine..." Ba Fujin looked very happy when he saw Minning holding Yuanbao, and then clapped his hands , a court lady soon appeared holding a box.

Ba Fujin took the box and opened it. Inside was a jade longevity lock with broken gold and silver bells on the bottom. She put the longevity lock on Yuan Bao with her own hands, and then added slowly, "The full moon gift that came tonight , must not be less."

Si Fujin smiled dignifiedly at the side, and pierced the palm of his hand with the nails hidden under his sleeves.

She knew that longevity lock. After her Honghui was born, Lao Ba's family also gave one. This time, they sent another one that was exactly the same. It was obviously carved from a piece of jade. Lao Ba's family gave birth to a concubine. Are you here to slap her in the face when you're with your legitimate son?

Although Minning didn't know the meaning of this lock, seeing that Fujin's expression was not good, he secretly pinched Yuan Bao's buttocks, and Yuan Bao suddenly woke up from his sleep and burst into tears.

Minning apologized to Fujin with an apologetic face, and then said respectfully to Fujin, "I don't know if I'm hungry or peeing, but I asked Fujin Rong to leave first."

Fujin immediately said with concern, "Little brother is important, as long as I am here, you go back to the house first and take care of little brother."

Minning immediately retreated with his son in his arms.

After returning to the mansion, he threw the heavy longevity lock to Bi Ying, "Go and check, what's wrong with this longevity lock."

Bi Ying ran to find Doctor Ye nervously, and came back after a while, "This lock is fine, but Doctor Ye said that there are too many small bells on it, and it is not suitable for my little elder brother to wear."

Minning naturally knew this truth. He didn't go out on weekdays, and Yuan Bao didn't have any other jewelry on him. One reason was that he was afraid that he would stuff everything into his mouth because he was too young.Secondly, I am also afraid that there are problems with these things.

"Then check Fujin's side again. Just now Fujin saw this longevity lock with a bad face, it should have something to do with her side."

Biying quickly went out again.

Only then did Minning look at his son. Although the little guy was crying loudly, he was easy to coax. At this moment, he had stopped and was lying on the bed, turning sideways forcefully.

When it was halfway through, Minning poked it with his finger, and he immediately failed.Yuan Bao was not annoyed, he thought Minning was playing with him, so he continued what he did just now, trying to turn over.

After playing for a while, he was sweating all over, Minning asked someone to bring a wooden barrel, put warm water in the wooden barrel, and she put him directly into the water.

Since the full moon, Minning secretly put him in the water, holding his head to let him swim.

Probably because I haven't forgotten all the skills in my stomach, and I recalled how to swim after a few strokes.

On weekdays, I have a lot of fun stepping on water.

However, Minning didn't let him swim long, and basically picked him up within ten minutes, just like taking a bath, and no one found out that Minning was actually letting him swim.

After exercising, the little guy was tired and yawned again, but instead of sleeping, he arched towards Minning's chest.

Minning knew that he wanted to breastfeed, so he called the nanny.

The nurse took it quickly, Xiao Yuanbao fell asleep with her nipple in her mouth after a few sips, and occasionally her mouth would squirm a few times.

The nanny gently put the little elder brother on the bed, and carefully sat aside to watch over him.

Minning was also handling official business at the side table.

Although some things have been handed over to her subordinates, there are always some things that need to be dealt with by her.

Opening a letter, it turned out to be a letter from Zheng Jun. You must know that this person has not been heard from for more than a year.

After reading the letter, Minning realized that Zheng Jun had gone to America with a European ship. Minning immediately became excited, but it was a pity that Zheng Jun only wandered around the coast and did not go deep.

Moreover, it went from the west to the Americas, and then returned to the west and then back to the capital every week. This made Minning smile bitterly, and dared to take a long detour.

Immediately, she cheered up again. Although Zheng Jun ran such a distance, it was not without gains, at least he handed in a perfect answer for her.

A total of nearly 500 million taels of silver is about to arrive in her hands.

With such a large amount of money, Minning can expand the scale of production with a lot of money.

It's just that this is a piece of pure silver, not a silver bill. If it is transported to Beijing like this, it will definitely attract attention.

But Minning didn't want to deposit it in the bank. After all, every time he withdraws money from the bank, a handling fee will be deducted, and the accumulation over time is not a small amount.

For the income of the past year, Minning was unwilling to deposit it in the bank, but spent it generously.

Either buying land or buying land. Although the Qing Dynasty cracked down on land annexation, it did not hinder the concept of stealing. As long as the land is not under the name, those policies can naturally be avoided.

In fact, Minning was in favor of the annexation of the land, after all, when the fourth master came to power, he would implement the policy of dividing the land into acres.The annexation of land is a magic circle that cannot be escaped in all dynasties. Even if the annexation of land is cracked down, as the population doubles, the land cultivated per capita will naturally decrease.

And those farmers who lost their land will take the initiative to enter the towns, and then there will be factories and workshops to absorb people.

Farmers will also find that the money they get working in a factory for a year is much higher than what they get from farming.

As for farmers who continue to grow food, they will also find that with higher-yield food and more convenient farm tools, fewer people are needed to work at home, and only then can they truly transform to industrialization.

History has long proved that the only way out for agricultural countries is to move towards industrialization.

But this is just her personal opinion, and what she thinks and thinks at the moment is against the entire national system.

In this agriculture-oriented China, if you want to change, you can only hold the sharp knife of power.

During the reign of Kangxi, Minning could not see any hope, so she only made some preparations and waited for the fourth master to ascend the throne. She tried her best to influence him and pave the way for the future.

"Master, we have found it." Biying came in and quickly reported to Minning, "Brother Honghui also has an eternal life lock exactly like this one."

Minning smiled wryly, this is participating in the struggle between Fujin and Fujin?

It's just why Fujin suddenly got into trouble with Fujin?A thought flashed through Minning's mind, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye. She shook her head and said to Biying.

"Put away this longevity lock! Don't let Fujin see it, lest she be unhappy."

But Bi Ying said, "Master, if Fujin is not happy, he will not be happy. Are we still afraid that she will fail?"

Probably because she thinks that the master is Chu Fujin, and with the younger elder brother at her knees, Bi Ying is a little swollen, and doesn't pay much attention to the main person.

Minning said sternly, "Nonsense, Fujin is Fujin after all! Let me hear you say that next time, don't blame me for kicking you out, and recently beat everyone in the yard, everyone is impetuous , if I find out, don't blame me for kicking him out!"

Bi Ying was startled, and hurriedly replied: "It's the servant's fault, and the servant will discipline them well!"

Fourth master and Fujin used the mat next door, Minning came back early, so he could only eat in his yard.

In the afternoon, Minning heard another piece of news.

"...At the banquet, Babeile and Sanbeile seemed to have reached an agreement to sell bans to Japan together. I heard that they are actively building ships." Xiao Luzi told Minning the news he had just inquired about.

Minning's mind was moved immediately, she thought that she had also bought a shipyard, and the manufactured ship had already been tested and usable, but the sea-going ship originally used for business was still in service, and the completed ship could only be placed in the dock.

It's just that this boat is a bit special, it's not made of wood, but made of steel plates.

Although the various performances were better than wooden boats after testing the water, no one dared to eat the first crab. If the boat couldn’t be pushed out, the shipyard had no income and could only rely on Minning’s subsidies.

This time is obviously an opportunity. If the ship is sold and taken to the sea by the princes, a large number of businessmen will follow suit.

Moreover, the load capacity and the ability to withstand wind and waves of steel ships are much higher than those of wooden ships. They can load large sailing ships at a faster speed, and they can also install some weapons on board.

Just such an iron ship is completely a weapon fortress, and there is no need to be afraid of those crazy pirates at sea.

Thinking of this, Minning said to Xiao Luzi, "Go to the suburbs and talk to Lin Yuan, and tell him that I invited him over."

During this period of time, the garden over the Red Water Hole has officially opened for business. Lin Yuan handed over the business to Acton's younger brother, A Lin, who returned to the village in the suburbs.

Coupled with the fact that there was sufficient silver in the sales of Fangzi before, all of these were put into production, which made Zhuangzi frequently produce various inventions in just a few months, and quickly transformed them into commodities and flowed into the market.

Whether a product is popular or not is a need and a market test.

Kicking out those with insufficient profits, selling Fangzi, and then investing in new experiments has become a fixed pattern of Zhuangzili Research Institute.

And every month at the auction of the garden over at the Red Water Hole, a large group of merchants guarded it, hoping to find some useful recipes.

The monthly invitations issued by the auction are also becoming more expensive, and they are often looted. After all, the invitations do not limit the individual to participate, as long as they can afford the deposit.

Moreover, the number of people that can be carried by the invitation letters of different episodes is different, so each invitation letter shows everyone's identity, and receiving one is an affirmation of a person's identity.

Now the auction house can tell who is really rich from the invitation letter they send out, instead of just being good-looking on the surface.

After all, if you want to do business, you must consider the financial resources of the other party.In the past, it was impossible to find out, but this time it is easy to have an invitation.

If you can get a post, you are either rich or rich, and it is worth sharing with each other, which has become the consensus of everyone.

Lin Yuan reported the incident in the garden, and Minning listened, and made a few comments about some unsatisfactory things, and finally nodded, "That's right, this Ah Lin is good, he deserves to be cultivated, and he will train at the auction house for a while. In the next year, let him take over some business."

Lin Yuan respectfully agreed.

Minning asked again: "How much silver do we have in the bank?" In the capital, many payments for goods are settled by bank notes.

Although Minning saved the cash, he still had a lot of banknotes in his heart that had not been exchanged.

And a one-time exchange, no matter which bank it is, cannot accept it.

So the money will stay in the bank for the time being.

"A total of nearly 20 taels, of which 30 taels were bought for the land and paid the wages of the workers and artisans." Although Minning didn't know why Minning asked this way, Lin Yuan still replied.

Minning calculated it in his heart, and it was not a lot.

"I plan to open my own bank, what do you think?"

Lin Yuandang was a little surprised, "However, the current bank has been monopolized by those few companies. Even if we opened it, no one would be willing to deposit it."

Minning said, "A few days ago, Zheng Jun sent a letter saying that nearly 500 million taels of silver would arrive in the capital, and I don't intend to deposit the silver in the bank."

Lin Yuan understood what she meant. To transfer such a large amount of money from the bank, at least one layer had to be cut off.

"Master, you mean to set up a bank for our own turnover of money?"

Minning shook his head and said, "I'm planning to open a bank rather than a bank."

"bank?"

Minning nodded, "The main customers are not merchants, but ordinary people in the capital..." Someone roughly explained the bank's business model for her.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, "If such a bank is opened in various parts of the Qing Dynasty, then the circulation of banknotes can be realized. It won't be like now, where each bank can only exchange banknotes of each bank?"

Minning nodded, "Not only that, it can also solve the shortage of copper coins, and even copper coins will withdraw from the market in the future."

Copper coins will withdraw from the market?This is beyond Lin Yuan's imagination, and he doesn't think it will really happen.

Minning is the master, so naturally he will not refute.

However, he still had some concerns, "Should I ask Lord Belle about this matter?"

Minning shook his head, "I don't need to tell him for the time being. In the name of the bank, I used interest to attract ordinary people to deposit spare money. Anyway, we can open the bank if others can open it."

Lin Yuan immediately said, "I can handle the formalities for opening a bank."

Minning nodded, "Then the most important thing right now is to make banknotes that are not easy for people to copy. This kind of banknotes can be water-washed and can be recognized at a glance."

"This... I will let the artisans gather to research it as soon as possible!" Lin Yuan hesitated for a while, and finally said.

Minning reminded him, "I heard that the paper made from cotton pulp and hemp pulp has waterproof function, and people can study in this direction."

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "Yes!"
