Ch.442 Selling Life (1)
Gong Cheng couldn\'t help but glance at Gong Yimo. He was simply overjoyed! But he had to hold himself back.
Even though this armor is good, it will be difficult to implement. Even though the method of compressing the silk layers and the method of creating the chainmail is written down by Gong Yimo, the actual operation will take a long time, and the price of this type of cloth armor will be much more expensive than their previous iron armor. So, even if he had the intention to implement it, he had to consider it carefully. After all, they had just built the canal, so the treasury was empty.
"This is good enough to buy you one life."
In the end, Gong Cheng did not forget what he was most worried about—and that was Gong Yimo\'s treason. Indeed, her motives for coming back this time were questionable. After all, as far as he could see from the report, with her friendship with Jin Yun, she could have quite the power in Yuheng, so why would she come back?
In the Emperor\'s heart, he didn\'t consider anything about things like patriotism or family, he only thinks about that which could be gained, so he wanted to see Gong Yimo\'s sincerity!
Wasn\'t she standing here now because she knew she could convince him?
Gong Yimo laughed. "I heard that Gong Jue has helped to establish the Shengshi Bank. This, must have received His Majesty\'s permission, has it not?"
Gong Cheng nodded. Without his support, Gong Jue would never have been able to afford opening the Shengshi Bank no matter how much manpower or money he had.
The popularity of the bank brought about many benefits. Gong Jue earned a lot from this, but this was also a good amount of filial piety offered up to Gong Cheng. And, the banknote unification was also a symbol of a strong country, not to mention that it didn\'t require much effort on his part, so Gong Cheng naturally supported it.
Gong Yimo laughed. "This bank was also my idea."
Then, she handed something over for Gong Cheng to see. It was only a thin piece of paper, but when Gong Cheng saw its contents, he was out of it for a long time. When he looked back at Gong Yimo, he was in disbelief!
When Gong Jue wanted to open the Shengshi Bank and unify the banknotes, he heard that Yuheng was doing the same as well. What\'s more, they were even more impressive than Dayu. Now that he saw this contract, what couldn\'t he understand?
One of the reasons why Yuheng was able to do so well was due to how corrupt the top echelons of their country was. So, after Jinyun came back to power, he stood like a crane among chicken. His word was power.
But more than that, there was someone even higher up directing him! Anyone who could come out with the idea of changing the store to a bank and unifying the banknotes was simply a genius! Its vision, its pattern, was completely beyond what a normal person could even think of!
He also wanted to find out who this person was when he first heard about it. Unfortunately, Jin Yun hid it so well that he couldn\'t find any traces. Now, he didn\'t expect that person to be standing right before him.
What\'s more…there was this contract!
The contract was simple: Gong Yimo alone owned 10% of Jinyun\'s Jinyu Bank!
10%!
Never underestimate the 10%! Once this Jinyu Bank grows in proportion, then this 10% of profit will equal more than the profits of four or five surrounding small countries in one year! And Jin Yun actually gave it out to Gong Yimo just like that!
To the princess of a neighboring country!
This is something that puts a strange taste in Gong Cheng\'s mouth. One, he was even more suspicious of what was between Gong Yimo and Jin Yun, otherwise, how could he hand over such an important thing so easily?
Second, it was that Jin Yun, an outsider, was able to trust Gong Yimo so much, while he, as her father, was filled with suspicion and was always on guard. That\'s why he was quiet for a very long time and had no idea what to say.
