Over a million Gold Coins? Exceeding the kingdom's annual tax revenue? Where in this world is there such a business?
Well, such a business does exist in this world, like Zhi Li's royal capital Jin number, which has the right to issue gold notes, so it can indeed be said to be wealthy enough to rival a nation, and the gold coins it controls even exceed the state treasury.
But the money in the royal capital Jin number isn't solely Zhi Li's; it belongs to all the nobles and lords under heaven, with Zhi Li and Zhi Ning merely being the administrators and the largest shareholders.
He, Duke Zhi Ting, could be said to be wealthy enough to rival a nation as well, but earning twenty to thirty thousand Gold Coins in a year was already quite impressive.
