Zhu Youxiao has always spent money like water, but there is still a surplus of silver in the inner treasury, which is used to prepare for emergencies.
If something happens and we can't get the money, it will be a disaster. So there is always a sum of money kept in the inner treasury.
This time, Zhu Youxiao was ready to take out this emergency fund.
As for the problem of lack of money, Zhu Youxiao has already found a way to solve it.
"Your Majesty, there are still 7,863,200 taels of silver and 1,126,800 taels of gold." Chen Hong said hurriedly.
Chen Hong had already kept all this gold, silver and money in mind and made a total account of it.
The gold could not be moved for the time being, but the silver could be spent. However, I didn't know if these seven million taels were enough for Bi Maokang.
Actually, it might not be enough. With current technology, the construction cost is too high. Zhu Youxiao, who came from a later era, understood that costs could only be brought down after the technology was rolled out and the supply chain matured.
Since the dawn of time, the cost of manufacturing weapons has never been low, and the yield rate has been low, resulting in a very high scrap rate. This all comes at a cost. Furthermore, the production of weapons must also ensure quality, which drives up the price.
Even if Zhu Youxiao takes out all these emergency funds, it may not be enough. It seems that the plan needs to be put on the agenda.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. I'll give Bi Maokang one million taels of silver later."
Although the production line hasn't been expanded yet and the cost budget report hasn't arrived yet, the Baigong Institute will definitely need money to produce these new products. Even at current production capacity, there will be additional costs, so this money must be paid.
Give him one million taels first and let him burn it for a while. Scientific research is really too expensive!
Zhu Youxiao knew that the money had to be spent, but he still felt a little sad.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong agreed respectfully.
Looking at the sun in the sky, Zhu Youxiao murmured, "I can't spend this money myself. Someone else has to pay for it!"
