However, the disadvantages of copper coins gradually became apparent with the development of the Song Dynasty's commerce, and have now become a chronic problem.

Originally, one tael of silver was exchanged for one string of copper coins, which is one thousand wen.

Nowadays, one tael of silver can be exchanged for three to five strings of coins, because one string of coins has long been insufficient and inferior coins are dotted in the market.

This problem may seem insignificant, but it is actually shaking the foundation of the country.

The Song Dynasty had a strong commercial nature.

When there are problems with the currency, the economy collapses, affecting people’s livelihood.

How could the people not cause trouble?

Inside the small building!

Facing Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami who had just bought the [Purple Sky Golden Pill] at a sky-high price.

Zhao WuXian smiled and said, "Okay, it's settled. I wish Mr. Liu Sheng a safe journey!"

A smile broke out from the stern face of Yagyu Tajima no Kami, and he said, "I still need to purchase some supplies in Suzhou and stay there for three days!"

If he leaves now, he will definitely disappear halfway, so he must make some arrangements.

Zhao Wuxian smiled and said, "If you need any help, just tell me. Otherwise, I'll send someone to follow Mr. Liu Sheng?"

Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Tianya and I are enough!"

He didn't trust Zhao Wuxian.

This heavenly elixir, what if it was Zhao Wuxian, and he took it out to fish?

Although this would ruin the reputation of the Treasure Pavilion.

But people’s hearts are evil and we must be on guard.

Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami and Duan Tianya left without hesitation, leaving behind Yagyu Yukihime and Yagyu Piaoxu.

The two girls stood there meekly, feeling uneasy.

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami left them behind.

On the one hand, it was to gain Zhao Wuxian's trust.

On the other hand, some people think they will become a burden.

It's safer to stay here.

Zhao Wuxian looked at them.

The Yagyu family is one of the famous families in Japan.

Yagyu Tajima no Kami has close ties with Zhu Wusi, the Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis of the Ming Dynasty.

Yagyu Yukihime and Yagyu Piaoxu have been educated and influenced by the Central Plains culture since childhood.

Therefore, he speaks the Central Plains language fluently.

Her etiquette and manners also show the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

Zhao Wuxian said, "Girls, please stay here and wait for everything to be settled. I will send someone to take you back to Japan!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Yagyu Yukihime and Yagyu Piaoxu bowed gracefully.

Listen to these gentle words.

Their nervous hearts seemed to be soothed, like a spring breeze.

Zhao Wuxian asked the servants to take them to the quiet room to rest first.

A moment later, Shangguan Haitang and the accountant arrived, their faces flushed and their smiles bright.

"Your Highness, the accounts are out!"

Zhao WuXian motioned for her to continue.

Shangguan Haitang took the account book and reported today's battle results one by one.

From rare treasures to weapons, elixirs and secret manuals.

Plus the proceeds from the auction.

The Treasure Pavilion received a total of more than 28 million taels of silver today.

This is amazing!

Even Shangguan Haitang found it incredible.

The Ming Dynasty’s treasury revenue in recent years is about 20 million taels per year!

Is this more than the annual treasury revenue of the Ming Dynasty?

That’s equivalent to half a year’s fiscal revenue of the Song Dynasty, right?

And this is just the total account of the Treasure Pavilion for one day?

of course.

This data is just on paper.

Including collateral funds.

For example, the money that Yagyu Tajima-no-kami used to mortgage the sale of his gold mine was not actually cash, it was just a number.

But it's amazing enough.

Shangguan Haitang was shocked when she saw this number.

too crazy!

The Jingguo Mansion is now truly wealthy and rich enough to rival a country!

If she knew that the treasures Zhao Wuxian was selling now were basically at no cost, she would probably faint from fear.

Zhao Wuxian remained calm and composed.

The treasury has no money.

The princes and gentry have plenty of money.

Any family that has been entrenched in a county for a century will inevitably have its wealth expand to a level that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

Not to mention this kind of family, even the [Tianxia Society] and the [Power Gang] have amassed countless wealth and can come up with millions of taels, right?

"We opened today. After the previous publicity, the pent-up enthusiasm of customers will be released, stimulating consumption, so the account will definitely look good."

"In the future, the market will gradually stabilize, and it will be good to make a few hundred thousand taels a day!"

The things in the Treasure Pavilion are already luxury goods, and even Ye Gucheng and his friends cannot come here to consume them often.

Once those who can afford it and want to buy elixirs, secret manuals, and the like get what they want, their desire to buy will naturally decline.

"How is the rental situation of the counter?" Zhao Wuxian asked.

Shangguan Haitang said: "I wish that Sect Master and Chief Butler Fan are both interested in cooperating!"

"In addition, the people at Mingjian Villa are willing to open a counter."

“Others are probably still waiting and watching!”

Zhao Wuxian nodded and said, "You guys need to pay more attention to this matter and make the products in Treasure Pavilion more diverse, but you can't lower the threshold and lower the level of Treasure Pavilion. You must keep a close eye on counterfeits and shoddy products!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Wuxian said: "Also, everyone has worked hard today!"

"All maids and guards of the Treasure Pavilion will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, the tellers will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and the stewards will be rewarded with 300 taels of silver!"

"From now on, the top three people with outstanding personal sales performance each month will be rewarded with 1,000 taels, 800 taels, and 500 taels respectively!"

Shangguan Haitang was shocked.

This reward is too generous, isn’t it?

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Long live your highness!"

Behind her, all the managers exclaimed in surprise and expressed their gratitude with joy.

This, getting rich overnight!

They left one after another and passed the news to the employees who were having supper and resting. Suddenly, the Treasure Pavilion was bustling with joy.

Shouts of "Long live His Highness" rang out one after another.

After finishing the business, Zhao Wuxian relaxed and looked at Shangguan Haitang who stayed behind, and said with a smile: "You are tired today, right?"

Shangguan Haitang glanced at Zhao Wuxian and said, "Yes, a little bit! But, I feel very happy and excited!"

Zhao WuXian smiled and said, "Well, you did a good job. Keep up the good work. Maybe in the future, I will let you manage the Treasure Pavilion!"

Shangguan Haitang looked up, her pretty face showing surprise.

Leave the Treasure Pavilion to yourself?

"Why, no confidence?" Zhao Wuxian asked.

Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but say: "But, I'm from the Ming Dynasty..."

She stopped talking.

I secretly regretted myself, thinking that I was bringing up something that was not relevant.

It would be terrible if my identity was exposed!

Will he die?

Zhao Wuxian said unconcernedly, "So what if you're from the Ming Dynasty? As long as your heart is with me, what does it matter what your background is?"

my heart?

When Shangguan Haitang met Zhao Wuxian's gaze, she felt inexplicably nervous and her heartbeat quickened.

What does this mean?

Could it be that Your Highness is interested in me?
