Although Zhang Qiang had been dealt with, Qian Ruoyu did not tell Zhang Qiang about the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

After all, the Beijing Chamber of Commerce now belongs to Qian Ruoyu's exclusive assets, so there is naturally no need to tell anyone.

Even if Zhang Qiang knew about it in the future, what would happen? Could he still snatch the Beijing Chamber of Commerce from me?

Just after Qian Ruoyu returned to the palace, he received a simple account book from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

Although Qian Ruoyu had taken a look at the account book of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce before, he found it extremely complicated and even had to go through calculations to know the exact amount.

Although Qian Ruoyu didn't look at it much, he had already handed all the approximate account books to Yan'er. In this way, Yan'er could do the calculations with a few servants in the palace, which could save more time.

The reason why Qian Ruoyu wanted to ask the Beijing Chamber of Commerce for a simple account book was to test whether the people from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce were joking with him this time. If Qian Ruoyu found out that they dared to play tricks on him, Qian Ruoyu would never let them off easily.

Even if the old man had deceived him, Qian Ruoyu didn't mind getting rid of it directly and completely replacing a group of people in the entire Beijing Chamber of Commerce. This was something Qian Ruoyu could do.

After taking a look, Qian Ruoyu immediately discovered that the annual income of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce was actually around 30 million taels.

This is not a small amount of money, and Qian Ruoyu finds it hard to imagine how a Beijing Chamber of Commerce can make so much money. No wonder they dare to confront the court in private.

Even if all the revenues of the Ministry of Revenue and the other six ministries were added together, it only barely exceeded 50 million taels of silver.

The income of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce has completely exceeded half of the six ministries.

After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu felt that this was not a good thing. On the contrary, the scale of Beijing Business was too large. However, Qian Ruoyu was glad that he had already agreed with the Beijing Chamber of Commerce on a 4:6 split.

Previously, the Capital Chamber of Commerce only had 20 million taels of silver left because Qian Ruoyu had already taken away a portion of the silver, which resulted in only this small share being available.

And now the Capital Chamber of Commerce is probably in some trouble. Even if they still have enough silver in their hands, it is useless. After all, most of the silver has been taken away by Qian Ruoyu. Now they must digest it internally or eliminate it internally.

Let fewer people share the money among them, otherwise, with their current strength, they may not be able to support such a huge financial expenditure.

After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu's mouth corners only slightly raised, but in his heart he was still thinking about the matters of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, that is, how to make the people of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce more obedient.

Or just ensuring the stability of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce would be enough.

The stability of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce is extremely important. It is a money-making machine that can earn 30 million taels of silver a year. Qian Ruoyu does not want to lose control of such a machine, nor does he want this machine to lose all its income.

If the Beijing Chamber of Commerce were to be brought down like this, then obviously the annual income would be reduced a lot, not to mention that these people living in Beijing are so cunning.

If they were really brought down, Qian Ruoyu believed that they would be able to rebuild everything of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce in just a month.

It will not be easy to regain control of them by then.

The only way to reverse the situation is to control the Capital Chamber of Commerce and find a way to bring all of the Capital Chamber of Commerce's income to one's own camp, so that one can pull it to one's side.

By then, the Beijing Chamber of Commerce will not be able to fight against me no matter what. The only way is to squat beside me and beg for mercy.

The thought of this made Qian Ruoyu feel completely relieved. After all, in this way, she had completely controlled the Capital Chamber of Commerce, and Huobuya had no way to do anything about it. The Capital Chamber of Commerce was equivalent to Qian Ruoyu's own thing.

And when thinking of this place, Qian Ruoyu smiled happily in his heart. Such a great thing, Qian Ruoyu naturally wanted it very much and wanted to take it for himself.

But at this moment Yan'er suddenly ran in, looking very anxious. Qian Ruoyu then asked calmly.

"What's wrong? Has Tsui Wah figured out the numbers? What's the approximate bill?"

"It's almost 30 million silver coins, but Your Majesty, this is not the most urgent matter. I heard that the convoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor to transport medicine was intercepted on the way!"

Hearing these words suddenly made Qian Ruoyu so surprised that he stood up directly. After all, those medicines had cost the entire court millions of silver to obtain.

Moreover, this incident had lasted for a full half month, which allowed the convoys to return. Now they were robbed halfway, which naturally made Qian Ruoyu feel a little unbelievable.

"What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, I only heard about this, and it was the news from Lord Luo. It is said that a group of bandits from the north of the capital took it for themselves, and I heard that the number of this group of bandits is already very large..."

When Qian Ruoyu heard the word "bandits", he was not surprised. After all, it was normal to have bandits in this era. But what surprised Qian Ruoyu was how dare these bandits steal all the emperor's things?

This is too bold.

But Qian Ruoyu didn't care at all at this time, instead he said calmly.

"It's nothing. After all, it's the emperor's stuff. I'm sure the emperor will find a way to deal with it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a big loss of face?"

But just after Qian Ruoyu finished saying this, Yan'er said helplessly.

"This... the emperor seems to want to solve it, but he can't send anyone because many big cities don't dare to negotiate. Moreover, if he personally sends officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits, the situation in the capital will not allow it..."

, it is very difficult for the emperor to deal with the bandits in the north. After hearing this sentence, Qian Ruoyu suddenly remembered that the current situation in the capital is indeed a bit of internal and external troubles, and it is very difficult for the emperor to deal with the bandits in the north.

After all, if we really need to deploy personnel, we can only deploy two shifts.

Some of them are soldiers from outside the capital under Chu Mobai, and the other part are people under Luo Shanhai. These are all people that the emperor can currently choose.
