Chapter 1032: Supreme Glory
Even if someone from below jumped out, they would only get rid of them and not let their own people take the position. They would use the position they obtained to exchange benefits with friendly factions and obtain benefits from other aspects. This way, they could avoid the Emperor’s suspicion.
Zhang Ronghua was reading in the study while Ding Yi was cultivating outside.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the lower value.
After looking through all the account books, the government office had a general understanding. It had to be described in one sentence. They were really f * cking rich!
Just the amount of silver in the account alone was about 300 million taels of silver. It was just a little over a month. According to the annual calculation, the amount of money in the account was about 4 billion taels of silver.
On second thought, it was reasonable. If converted to thousand-year-old spirit herbs, it was only about 1,800 stalks.
This was the capital, the administrative center of the Great Xia Dynasty. Just the population alone was more than a million households. Other than the regular businesses, restaurants, inns, brothels, salt, and so on, there were also businesses such as pills, talismans, and cultivation techniques. The former could only be considered ordinary, while the latter was very valuable and profitable. While these shops enjoyed protection, they naturally had to pay taxes. In addition, they had to handle the “documents”, surprise inspections, and the elimination of the evil cultivators ‘strongholds. It was not strange for them to have this amount of silver.
Did he really think that he could open a shop in the capital and sell cultivation techniques, spirit herbs, pills, and so on without having to apply for a “certificate” as long as he bought and sold a good house? Officials were all smart people. None of them were fools. It was impossible for them to ignore such a huge profit.
The documents were also played with.
For example, martial arts, cultivation techniques, spirit herbs, pills, and so on were all specially issued by the government office as ” privileged management documents.” It was a piece of paper specially made with the seal of Shangjing government. The contents were clearly written. One only needed to manage martial arts. If one wanted to add another type of cultivation technique, one would have to pay a large sum of money to add the scope of the cultivation technique.
Was this the end? He could only say that he was too naive!
If the cultivation technique was added, he would naturally have to pay an additional tax. If his relationship was not in place, he would not be able to take it down even if he had money.
Too expensive?
If you don’t do it, there will be others who will!
The security in the capital was so good, the population was so dense, and there were so many rich people. No matter how much money the government collected, they could still make a lot of money without worrying about losing money.
There was one more point, which was also the most important point. After paying the money, if a proper businessman got into trouble, the government would take care of it. If they couldn’t, there were still the four departments. With so many benefits, they naturally didn’t have to worry about others not running the business of “cultivation resources” here.
Apart from the daily expenses that were handed over to the national treasury and the government office, including compensation and construction, there were not many that fell into his hands.
Ding Yi came in from outside. He looked at the account book and revealed a curious expression.” Brother, is there a lot of silver?”
Zhang Ronghua explained briefly.
“So many?”
“Too little!” Zhang Ronghua shook his head and said seriously.
“300 million taels of silver?” Ding Yi was shocked.
“This is the capital, with a population of a million households and many floating workers. How much silver do you get in a month?”
“Alright… It doesn’t seem like much!”
“It’s not like, it’s definitely!” Zhang Ronghua said seriously. “This can’t be blamed on Ping Bo and the others. Although they were promoted very quickly, they didn’t manage the government for long. This includes Chu Xuping. He was only transferred to other departments because of his excessive time. The previous governors have died one after another. The reason why he can have his current income is because he has a good foundation. If it were any other Upper Province, they probably wouldn’t even be able to take out 100 million taels of silver to replace so many governors in such a short period of time.”
“In that case, doesn’t that mean that your mission is very heavy?”
It was certain that he was important. Although he held two positions and had immense power, he could not achieve anything. Those people who were secretly watching him, as well as the opposing factions, would definitely jump out at the first moment and think of ways to transfer him away or remove one of his official positions.
Zhang Ronghua didn’t put these people in his eyes. As the father and mother of the capital, he managed the food, drink, and toilet of millions of people. His first priority was to let them live a better life. He wanted them to eat well, wear well, and have extra money to buy things they liked.
These three points were easy to say, but very difficult to do.
The challenge was great, but it was not difficult for him!
“It’s alright!” He smiled faintly.
A familiar smile, a familiar confidence. Ding Yi understood that his brother was in the bag.
“How are you and Huo Ling?” Zhang Ronghua asked.
” I’ve done everything I could.” Ding Yi lowered his head and said in a low voice.
“???”Zhang Ronghua was stunned.
She looked at him suspiciously.
They had only held hands the last time. How long had it been, and it had already developed to this extent?
He was genuinely happy.
” Your current position should be enough. Take some time to visit the Huo Family and tell Huo Chengcheng that I will go over to propose marriage for you in a while. This marriage will be finalized.”
” Really?” Ding Yi was shocked, but he was immediately filled with joy.” Brother, really?”
Worried, he added.
“Isn’t it too fast?”
“You’re not young anymore. It’s time for you to start a family. The Ding family is still counting on you to spread your branches and leaves,” said Zhang Ronghua with a smile.
“Thank you, brother!”
Liu An knocked on the door and was allowed to enter.” Sir, I have prepared a banquet. The people below are looking forward to your arrival. What do you think?”
Zhang Ronghua declined politely.” Tell them that we are all on the same side. There’s no need to be so pretentious. Just do your job well. I’ll hold a banquet in Platinum Hall later and have a good gathering.” As for tonight, I still have important things to do.”
