In less than a week, the Bank of Jing Country received almost five million taels.
These days, Xiao Yunzhou stayed up until the late hours of the night, holding daily discussions with the Ministry of Revenue and the Imperial Cabinet.
"For those with a two-year term, prioritize them for the military expenses of this year and the next."
"For those with a three-month term, allocate some for duck farming and pigpen improvements."
Xiao Yunzhou calculated meticulously, then looked at the Ministry of Revenue's project list, feeling overwhelmingly headache.
The majority of the people deposited their money in accounts that could be withdrawn at any time.
So did the wealthy businessmen.
"Your Majesty, the military expenses required by the New Year... Could we temporarily use short-term deposits to cover them? The long-term state bonds are a bit insufficient."
Jiang Li from the Ministry of Revenue spread his hands, still indicating a shortfall.
Xiao Yunzhou frowned, then quickly sighed and waved his hand, "You should think of other ways. I have already taken ninety-nine steps forward and thought of methods for you and the Ministry of Revenue."
"Do you still need me to take the last step?"
Jiang Li from the Ministry of Revenue: "......"
He had no words to say, only blushing and bowing his head.
"I have been urging the Ministry of Revenue, every day, to think of a profitable project."
"But there's none that can be used." Xiao Yunzhou rolled his eyes.
Jiang Li cleared his throat lightly, "Please give me a little more time, Your Majesty. After the recent rush with the Bank, everyone will have leisure time and can think about how to make money with money."
Xiao Yunzhou reluctantly nodded.
At this moment, he missed his fairy-like daughter more than ever.
But his daughter's fairy power must not be easy to cultivate.
He, as the emperor, could not shamelessly rely on his daughter all the time.
If this continues, what will happen to Jing Country if one day his daughter ascends to immortality?
Can the future generations of Jing Country's rulers and ministers hold on and not let the country perish?
Looking at the Ministry of Revenue and Imperial Cabinet ministers standing in the study, Xiao Yunzhou couldn't help but prod them, "Everyone think, think, whoever comes up with a profitable project first."
"If it exceeds one million taels, I'll promote him."
"If it exceeds five million taels, I'll give him a death-free gold medallion!"
"!"
All of the ministers in the study were shocked.
The death-free gold medallion, was the highest honor for a minister.
Since the establishment of the Jing Country, not many of these have been issued.
Only a few founding ministers have them.
Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand, "While the founding of the country is certainly meritorious, those who help in times of crisis and rescue Jing Country's national strength are naturally also great ministers."
"Alright, you guys think about it, whenever you have an idea, submit a memorandum."
Just as he finished speaking, Wei Zheng, standing outside the study, announced.
