Chapter 2507: Chapter 2504: Concern
“That’s right, if I don’t care for you, whom else would I care for.” Chu Heng wouldn’t hide his favoritism towards her.
Ye Muyu curled her lips in a good mood.
Indeed, being favored by someone who cares about you is sweeter than eating candy.
“Alright then, I’ll speak, you write.” Ye Muyu said, while eating fruit and feeding Chu Heng, she recited the contract content she had long prepared.
Actually, Chu Heng had seen many contracts in modern times and already knew how to write them.
The reason for doing this was simply to consult with Ye Muyu, especially since this shop belonged to Ah Yu, he naturally would not interfere casually, at most he would offer a few suggestions if any significant mistakes occurred.
Neither of them ever earned silver for personal savings or enjoyment.
After all, since they arrived in the city, the Chu family hasn’t lacked taels of silver, and their quality of life has long been sufficient.
Doing this was merely due to Ye Muyu’s interests, and having silver in hand allows them to do good deeds and accumulate merit.
The two soon filled out the contract content, not very rigorous, but full of sincerity.
Once submitted to the palace, after Emperor Xuanming read it, he saw another letter detailing the day’s shop profits and some future estimated earnings. According to the numbers given, a glazed mirror shop could earn up to fifteen hundred taels of silver a month; then ten, or a hundred shops could yield a monthly profit of tens of thousands of taels.
In a year, it would be nearly two million taels, definitely not an exaggeration to call it a huge profit.
Even if it was written later that business would not always be this good and there would be other merchants competing, it would still be a very profitable shop regardless.
Emperor Xuanming naturally understood the importance of money, these years he had exerted himself tirelessly to strengthen Great Chu, which resulted in exhaustion, almost impairing his health.
But the Ministry of Revenue’s funds weren’t enough, and sending silver everywhere didn’t necessarily achieve its purpose.
There was even the embarrassing situation of the national treasury not having enough silver.
And so now, Chu Heng had helped him amass at least several million taels of silver.
No wonder he’s my moneybag.
Emperor Xuanming squinted his eyes, hiding the joyful expression in them.
Soon, the Official Gazette Office received orders from Emperor Xuanming.
Upon receiving the order to properly promote and report the importance of glazed mirrors.
The junior officials were puzzled.
But Xu Chan and Yan Zhenming received the news; they exchanged glances, Xu Chan spoke first: “Minister Yan, what do you think the Emperor means by this?”
“If I remember correctly, these glazed mirrors were sold from Yonghe Shop just yesterday, right?”
“And it’s Madam’s private property, this shop is related to Madam, and the Emperor supports it so much.”
“So, there’s only one possibility, the Emperor values the Chu family highly, and specifically takes this action to establish authority for the Chu family.” Xu Chan smiled faintly.
Yan Zhenming stroked his beard: “Indeed, since it’s the Emperor’s order, we certainly cannot delay.”
“Then this matter will be entrusted to Minister Yan.” Xu Chan was responsible for sourcing news content and not writing this obvious commercial promotion.
Although he was aware that this matter was clearly due to Emperor Xuanming valuing the Chu family and considering silver, he would certainly not mention it.
Just, although he felt this self-serving matter quite normal, he didn’t like it, naturally unable to write sincerely praising Emperor Xuanming’s words.
Compared to these hypocritical words, he’s more suited to keeping an eye on those corrupt officials.
