I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

King Ji's Mansion No. 1 Treasury is the first underground treasury built by Prince Ji's Mansion. Because it is underground, the area of ​​the treasury is particularly large.

Later, the Yifang area was expanded, and the No. 2 Treasury of Prince Ji's Mansion was built, and the No. 1 Treasury was used for daily storage of working capital.

Treasury No. 2 is Li Shen's own treasure house, and all valuables are placed in Treasury No. 2.

At this time, Li Shen, Lu Dingniang and others stood at the door of Treasury No. 1, stupidly looking at the mountains of copper coins inside.

"Don't tell me that this is all money." Li Shen slowly turned his head to look at Wang Hongfu.

"Back to your lord, the innermost part is the money we have collected and saved over the years. I don't know how many villains there are specifically.

Anyway, according to the prince's instructions, all the silver was melted into silver bricks, one pound each.

Here are the gold bricks. There are not many gold bricks. Today there are less than three million gold bricks left.

The rest are all copper coins. There are all copper coins behind this, and there is no space at all. "

Wang Hongfu pointed at Qianshan in front and reported back.

Li Shen stared blankly at the entire warehouse. The copper coins had been piled less than a foot away from the door.

The height is less than two feet from the ceiling. How much does it cost?

"When did the palace have so much money? This is unreasonable. Why do I spend more and more money like this?

Isn’t it very expensive to visit the Qinghai capital? "Li Shen frowned.

Having more money is not a good thing.

"Back to your lord, there are a total of 13.7 million guan in this, 3.2 million guan is the compensation money from the Qidian Chamber of Commerce.

If this time is added, it would be almost more than 17 million yuan. "Wang Hongfu explained.

"How much?!" Li Shen opened his mouth,

"More than 17 million yuan?" He really couldn't believe this number.

"Your Majesty, our current industry's annual dividends are around five to six million yuan, but the income from the industrial park is higher.

This year we collected more than 4 million yuan in rent, and after deducting operating expenses, we still have more than 3 million yuan left.

We made back the money we spent on building the industrial park in one year. "

Wang Hongfu worshiped Li Shen like a god.

At the beginning, King Ji was carrying out a lot of construction projects, and the palace demolished the east wall to repair the west wall. For three consecutive years, there was not a penny left, and one or two million guan was thrown in every day.

They all wanted to dissuade King Ji at that time, but King Ji's words were the imperial edict of Prince Ji's palace, and no matter who it was, they must implement it.

But who would have thought that an industrial park would recoup its capital in one year, and this year would be its second full year of profit.

Li Shen sighed after hearing Wang Hongfu's words: Real estate is still the money maker. How many years does it take to farm thousands of acres of land to earn more than 3 million yuan?

But now there are only so many in a year, and this is still rent. There are 200,000 shops, and the average cost per shop is only more than ten dollars.

But now he is also worried about having too much money. Millions of people a year can only sigh that Prince Ji's palace is rich and wealthy, and is as rich as the country.

But it's different when you are really rich and rival the country.

"Your Majesty, not all of this is our money." At this moment, Wang Hongfu suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Li Shen turned back and looked at Wang Hongfu.

"Your Majesty, we will spend two million yuan in Qinghai Province at the beginning of the year, and the remaining material costs will be settled at the end of the year.

The cost of cement is less than 1.5 million guan, which is almost enough. The cost of fine iron is relatively high. The total cost of Zhao Guogong and the Wei family is nearly 3 million guan.

And the annual salary of the 100,000 craftsmen is about 2 million yuan.

So there are 6.5 million yuan in it, which is the money of Qinghai capital. "

"Why are there so many? Including last year, it costs more than 10 million guan to build a fortress? There are so many fortresses on the border. Why hasn't this king heard that they are so expensive to build?

Is there anyone here who has embezzled my money? Immediately send someone to check the accounts for me, and ask me to find out and distribute him one hundred thousand li. "

Li Shen became anxious when he heard this. It cost more than 10 million guan to build a city in the Tang Dynasty, which was more valuable than the imperial palace.

"Your Majesty, the main reason for this is that the materials used in our construction are different from those before, and the area is a bit larger, so more refined iron is used.

Moreover, we did not use corvee labor, and the wages we paid in two years alone amounted to 4 million yuan. "

Wang Hongfu could only explain, thinking, if it weren't for the fact that you insisted on building a big one, you wouldn't have spent so much money according to the drawings given by the court.

In the past, it was built with refined iron cement, rammed earth bricks and quarried stones. The labor was done by labor force and it didn't cost any money.

The food expenses for these people for a year are astronomical.

"Lang Jun, Shopkeeper Wang is right. I have read the account books, and there should be no problem. The craftsmen's wages in the past two years have been four million guan, and the food expenses, etc., add up to almost 5 million guan.

If you exclude this part of the money, it actually doesn’t cost much. "

Lu Dingniang on the side also helped Wang Hongfu explain.

"Alas~~~" Li Shen sighed. No wonder there is labor. It turns out that labor costs are so expensive. accounts for half of the construction costs.

It seems like a lot, but when it is shared among these 100,000 workers, it is not much. The salary of two million guan per year is only 20 guan per person per year on average, which is less than two guan per month.

But this is already considered a high salary. They earn less than 5 guan a year from farming at home.

"Forget it, as much as you can, now we have to figure out how to store the 3.2 million coins.

Madam, is there still room in warehouse No. 2? "

Li Shen no longer hesitates. The more he earns, the more he earns. If he earns so much money, he should also have certain social responsibilities.

Lu Dingniang shook her head when she heard Li Shen ask her.

"Mr. Lang, there are too many silks, brocades, embroideries and the like over there. Don't accept any more from now on. The palace won't be able to use them all in fifty years."

There are also so many rare treasures on the shelves that there is really no place to put money. "

Lu Dingniang was a little helpless when she looked at Li Shen. In her opinion, her husband was a prodigal, buying whatever was expensive and whatever was rare.

At this time, she felt that even if the palace was not in dire straits, it would not have much money left.

But the reality is that the palace has more and more money, and no one knows where the money comes from. His husband stays away from property all day long and doesn't care about anything. He doesn't even know how much money his family has.

Now it can't even fit into two vaults.

Li Shen also had a headache. What should he do? It cost more than 17 million guan. Even if he spent 6 to 7 million guan to pay wages and materials, there would still be 10 million guan left.

He now regrets defrauding the family of so much money.

"Your Majesty, we still need to find a way as soon as possible. The family will start delivery tomorrow at the latest, and it will take three days.

At that time, we can only pile them in the yard. "Wang Hongfu reminded.

Li Shen also fell into hard thinking. Copper coins took up too much space. It would be nice if there were paper money from later generations.

It would be even better if it were a bank card, as 3.2 million yuan doesn't take up much space.

Li Shen thought about it and suddenly came up with an idea.

"How about exchanging some gold with dad?"

(I know from afar that I am listening to the rain in front of the lamp alone, but I recall seeing the mountains behind the snow together.)
