Chapter 771 One Thousandth
The problem of financial constraints has been initially resolved, but it is only enough to make the money in the treasury just enough to spend.

The problem is that the money is not enough to spend. Zhou Ming wants to spend the money to his heart's content and enjoyment, so as to achieve complete financial freedom.

If you can't do this, it's pointless to be an emperor. It's better to come to a wealthy merchant's family.

In other words, even if Zhou Ming is the emperor, he still has to find a way to get more money.

how to do?
Is he going to embark on the same road of farming again?Spending a lot of time, repeating the things to be done during each dungeon, even if he started as the emperor?

Of course it won't continue like this.

Now that he is the emperor and wants money, he has a quick and efficient way to solve the problem of lack of money.

any solution?
For example... er... uh, I still can't hold on anymore, that's right, if I don't engage in some farming activities, Zhou Ming has no good way to solve the problem of lack of money... Although Zhou Ming has long been tired of farming .

And even if he is the emperor, the sky will not drop a lot of money for him to spend.

So Zhou Ming still had to plant this field?

It's right to say so.

But in a way, it's not quite right either.

Why do you say that?

Because Zhou Ming didn't end in person, but recruited a large number of interest spokespersons to help him grab benefits.

Right next to the palace, he specially approved a piece of land of 100 mu, set up a business district, recruited hundreds of businessmen, and opened hundreds of shops in the business district.

These stores sell agricultural tools and tools, restaurants, luxury clothing, daily necessities, and various furniture, covering all aspects.

As for the shops stationed in this business district, all business activities are conducted by the Imperial Guard led by General Lanchester, who guarantee safety day and night, and those who dare to make trouble will all break ground on Tai Sui—court death!Therefore, in terms of public security, 100% peace of mind can be guaranteed.

As for all the products sold in these stores, some of them were designed by Zhou Ming himself. The market competitiveness is extremely strong, and there is no need to worry about sales.

It's just that for the shops in the business district, since the royal family holds half of the shares, after deducting costs, half of the net profit will belong to the royal family.

The royal family takes half of the profits, and the percentage is so high. Are there any businessmen who are willing to come to the royal family to cooperate and enter this business district?

Of course there are.

On the contrary, he was very enthusiastic.

Less than three days after the underground recruitment order was released, thousands of businessmen with keen sense of smell applied to join the business district and do business with the royal family.

Due to too many applicants, Zhou Ming also issued a written test question and conducted a round of written tests. In the end, only 180 people were admitted.

And Zhou Ming also knows why these businessmen are so active. One is 50% of the net profit share, which is not small for them, but it is exciting; Their safety is guaranteed, they have the support of the emperor, they are not afraid of the vicious competition of their competitors, and they also hug the emperor's thick golden legs, so it's no wonder they are not active.

Of course, Zhou Ming also set the rules: if you do a good job, you will be rewarded, if you do a bad job, you will be punished. If you break the rules, you will be swept out of the business area and replaced with partners... to ensure the liquidity in the business area.

In this way, the commercial area close to the imperial palace, after officially launching commercial activities, soon became rich in money and became a big cash cow in Zhou Ming's hands.

In the first year of the establishment of the business district, it brought Zhou Ming an income of 500 million Gold Tower Shields.

However, due to the competitive nature of commercial activities, if Zhou Ming's business district makes money, it will definitely lose money, and its interests will be seriously damaged. It will definitely release voices of dissatisfaction, complain, speak ill of the emperor, and damage the reputation of the royal family. , What's more, I am afraid that rumors will be spread.

Going one step further, Zhou Ming will become a fatuous and absurd king in the eyes of these people, and public opinion will be very unfavorable to him.

How to do?
Zhou Ming can only use one-fifth of the 500 million gold pagoda shields to increase the salaries of officials in the DPRK and China; two-fifths will be handed over to the treasury to make up for the lack of national use.

The remaining 200 million gold tower shields can be put into Zhou Ming's pocket with peace of mind.

After ceding a large piece of meat, he explained and justified it. In this way, the voices of various criticisms and doubts gradually died down.

So for Zhou Ming, is the spare "pocket money" of 200 million gold tower shields a year enough for him?

Enough is definitely not enough.

However, he is in his early thirteens now, and he doesn't have a lot of money to spend, and he doesn't have any big moves to make, so for now, the money is basically enough.

But a new problem came again.

Zhou Ming wants to spend so much money, what exactly is he trying to do?
He doesn't like eating, drinking and having fun, he doesn't like to collect some rare treasures, and he is not the kind of irrational consumer who is extravagant and wasteful.

What exactly does Zhou Ming want to do with the huge sum of 200 million Golden Pagoda Shields?
Regarding this issue, many people in the empire expressed strong curiosity, and there were many discussions in private.

"Could it be that someone digs a hole and buries all the money together, just like the miser Emperor Sephiroth IV once buried treasures worth tens of millions of gold tower shields underground?"

"His Majesty the Emperor is really incomprehensible. There are many amazing ideas hidden in his head. Sometimes I even think: His Majesty the Emperor is a frightening genius."

"I don't know where he spent that money. I only know that if he devotes half of his money-making thoughts to governing the country, I believe that, as far as the empire is concerned, this will bring great benefits to the empire. The income of more than 200 million Golden Tower Shield."

"That's right! Your Majesty the Emperor, it's time for you to listen to the loyal words of our old ministers. Your Majesty had better hand over the 200 million gold tower shields and let the old ministers keep them for you. After your majesty becomes an adult and takes charge of the government, the old ministers will definitely It will be returned to His Majesty!" said the old Prime Minister Benedict.

Naturally, Zhou Ming refused the old prime minister's request without hesitation.

Besides, he couldn't afford 200 million gold pagoda shields. This huge sum of money has been basically spent by him, and there are not many coins left.

So what did he spend the money on?

Practice.

Basically, it's all thrown into cultivation.

In one year, a full 200 ​​million Golden Pagoda Shields were used for cultivation.

And the reason why Zhou Ming tried his best to make money is also to buy various resources to meet the needs of cultivation.

What about the effect?
Did it have any effect?
of course.

Of course, the huge amount of 200 million Golden Tower Shield can produce obvious effects.

Even Zhou Ming didn't dare to spread the word. Now his soul has been successfully connected to a magic net on the energy plane, and he has become a junior magic net walker.

Magic Net Walker?
Once this news spreads, it will probably cause shock and disbelief.

Because the total population of the Aurunian Empire now exceeds 30 billion, but there are no more than 100 million warriors with extraordinary abilities.

As for the magic net walkers connected to the magic net, there must be no more than 1000 people!
It only took Zhou Ming one year to join the one-thousandth of a handful!
