Jiang Yue and Xue Yan paid for the hired carriage first. They had only paid the deposit previously, which was only a portion of what they were charged. Now that they had settled it, they could go back earlier.

Then, he paid the 45 people who were hired and the two aunts who cooked the paste.

When they returned from the county, they exchanged a lot of copper coins with some small vendors.

He also paid Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou. Thanks to Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou’s help, even if they went to the county, they didn’t have to worry about the hired carriage transporting paste to put up missing person notices. If there weren’t enough missing person notices, the people would get on the carriages and come back to refill their stock.

Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou refused to accept it. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan insisted on giving it to them, so they didn’t need to take care of the carriage. Only then did Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou hurriedly receive the payment.

Then, Jiang Yue said, “We have to go home again. I don’t know when we’ll be back. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of the carriage. Here’s some money. Take it. It’s for the horses to eat, buy them quality fodder. If there’s not enough fodder, you’ll have to help buy some from town. When we’re not around, you and the villagers can use this carriage wherever you go. It’ll be much faster to put up the notices.”

“Okay, okay, okay. Don’t worry.” Zhang Dazhu took the money to buy fodder for the horse and said, “Shoushou and I will take care of the carriage for you. We will also take care of the house for you. We will wait for you to come back safely.”

Both Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou were especially happy because they could see their benefactor again.

“Alright.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded and then thanked him before leaving Stone Village.

After only walking a few steps, they didn’t see anyone around them. Only then did Jiang Yue bring Xue Yan into the space and return to Da Ling.

It was already late at night on the second day of the new year in Da Ling. She could still hear her second brother, Xue Erhu, and the others playing cards in the central room. However, they were probably afraid of disturbing the family, so the sound of playing cards was much softer. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not go out of the room to join them. They just washed up briefly and went to sleep.

It was also when Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were sleeping that Da Chen had unknowingly reached the fourth day of the sixth month.

In the capital of Prince Che’s residence…

Prince Che, also known as Shi Che, had nothing to do, so he wanted to enter the palace and have a good chat with his brother, Shi Yuan. Although he often talked to his brother, they only talked about national affairs, especially the national treasury. Since he was in charge of the national treasury, all the officials were on vacation today, so he was naturally on vacation too. That was why he had free time on his hands.

He had just walked out of the main courtyard and had yet to leave the Prince’s residence when he saw the butler bring the owner of Treasure Bank over, saying that he had something to report.

The owner of Treasure Bank was not the owner of the bank, but the manager of the bank. The real owner was not Prince Che, he only had the title.

However, not many people knew about this.

Back then, when he suggested to his brother to use the silver from the national treasury to open a bank, his brother also felt that it was a good idea to open up a source of income, so he agreed.

If he wanted the national treasury to always be full, he naturally had to increase income and reduce expenditure.

He had already taken many measures to reduce the expenditure, all of which were on the surface. As for increasing the source of income, most of the measures were done uprightly, except this.

This was because no ruler had ever done this before. It was a little risky. For the sake of his people, they had secretly opened a bank.

Now, Treasure Bank was almost all over Da Chen. It had developed so well and brought so much income to the national treasury. It could be seen that this move to increase revenue was a good choice.
