%22Your Highness is thinking about how to meddle in the salt industry and set up a salt factory? %22Suddenly, a voice woke him up, Zhu Youxiao looked intently, and Wang Wenyan was looking at him with a smile.

%22 Could it be that you have a good idea? %22 With a move in his heart, Zhu Youxiao asked.

%22 The method is not very good, it is nothing more than a collusion between officials and businessmen. %22Wang Wenyan looked like he was in his chest, and he obviously had a perfect idea in his heart.

%22 pls sir teach me. %22 Zhu Youxiao asked. It's just that as soon as he finished asking, he slapped his head and said apologetically: %22 It's the palace that is negligent, sir, please, let's talk slowly. %22

After inviting Wang Wenyan to the side hall and serving fragrant tea and snacks, Zhu Youxiao asked again: %22I don't know how Mr. acted in the so-called collusion between officials and businessmen? %22

%22 Your Highness is not in a hurry, and listen carefully. %22 Picking up the teacup, Wang Wenyan took a sip lightly, cleared his throat, and then began to speak.

%22 Your Highness did not know that in the early years of our dynasty, the Salt Industry Transshipment Department and the Salt Section Promotion Division were set up to manage the salt industry throughout the country, and official positions were set up in the salt factories in various places to directly manage production. %22

%22 However, with the passage of time, the salt works were poorly managed, and some of the salt farms were deserted and occupied by the local gentry and nobles, and the salt production became increasingly insufficient. Later, the transshipment department contacted some fine salt merchants and handed over the salt works to the other party to operate, and they only collected a fixed salt tax. %22

%22The so-called collusion between government and businessmen is here, sending a person to Tianjin, buying a salt factory, and then building and operating it himself. When the situation grows bigger and someone comes to make trouble, it will be the time for His Highness to train his troops. %22

After finishing speaking, Wang Wenyan picked up the teacup again and drank it slowly. And Zhu Youxiao digested what he said. In fact, Wang Wenyan's method is not unusual, in a nutshell, it is a common outsourcing business in modern state-owned enterprises. Pack a salt pan and produce it yourself.

Don't look at what he said simply, but the doorway contained in it is extremely complex, and the requirements for the personnel who go to operate are very high, and Zhu Youxiao has no such talents around him now.

No, it's not that there isn't, I just happened to take refuge in one today. Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao set his eyes on Wang Wenyan.

At this time, Mr. Wang just put down the teacup, he raised his head to look, and he was only slightly stunned to understand. With a long laugh, Wang Wenyan got up and bowed his hand and said: %22 If His Royal Highness can trust the student, the matter can be handed over to the student. %22

%22 can be trusted, nature can be trusted. Mr. go back and wait for three days, three days later, meet in the Lingchunfang Palace, then naturally someone will hand over the silver two and the assistant to Mr. %22 Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

%22 so the student quits first. %22 Wang Wenyan saluted again, and then walked out of the side hall. He didn't leave by himself, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't, he needed to be led by an attendant when he entered and exited the palace.

%22 Lao Wei. %22 Zhu Youxiao waved at Wei Zhongxian and motioned for him to come over. After the other party approached, he commanded softly: %22After you send Mr. Wang out, go to the British Mansion, and then%22

Three days later, when Wang Wenyan set off with 20,000 taels of silver, he was already followed by many people. Zhang Shize, the grandson of the British duke, Luo Yangxing, the son of Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, his uncle Wang Sheng, and Liu Bin and Luo Qing's group of seven or eight people, in addition to the twenty Jinyi Wei Lieutenants brought over by Luo Yangxing, full of forty or fifty people, walking on the road are a large area.

Luo Yangxing is to deal with the local Jinyi Guard, Zhang Shize is to deal with the military households of Tianjin Wei, Wei Zhongxian is to deal with the town guard eunuchs, Wang Sheng is the main person on the surface, Wang Wenyan is the commander of the action, as for the civil officials, it is good to open the way with silver.

This is Zhu Youxiao's first attempt, if it can be successful, there will be a lot of silver back, everything is easy to say, if not, honestly take 10,000 taels of silver per month to train slowly, waiting for the throne......

After sending people away, Zhu Youxiao didn't use anything else, and devoted himself to training. During the day, he personally led the team to train, and at night, the twenty eunuchs in Tsing Yi enlightened these teenagers and taught them to read and write.

When they learned that they needed to be literate, these teenagers were simply stunned, they never thought that they would still be able to read and write. Although it was just a long-term job, so much training had to be done, and it had to be literate, which made these teenagers mumble in their hearts, but none of them thought about leaving.

Judging from the current situation, this is a great opportunity for them. Everything is inferior only to high reading, which everyone has heard, and it is also the concept that they have been instilled in since childhood, literacy, can change their own destiny and change the destiny of future generations.

For this opportunity, each of them grasped it tightly, studied very seriously and hard, and it was useless to slack off at all. Only those who have really risen from the bottom know how difficult it is to get a chance to change, and how can they not grasp it firmly now that it has appeared.

In this case, the rumors of the royal relatives that circulated among the first batch of teenagers gradually spread, and this rumor just solved the doubts in the hearts of these teenagers. Whether it's true or not, everyone wants to believe it.

%22 Xiaoyu, you did a good job today, you are the first person we have here to praise. %22Sitting in the classroom, Li Tao couldn't help but poke Li Yuyu next to him with his elbow. This kind of enlightenment-level teaching is very easy for Li Tao, and he has already learned it.

%22 Hey hey! %22 Li Yuyu smiled honestly and didn't speak, he was originally from the Wei Institute, and he had a natural sensitivity to these trainings, and after training a few more times, he quickly grasped the main points, and made great and rapid progress, and was praised by Zhu Youxiao.

%22 Boring! %22 Seeing that the other party was once again immersed in his hard work, Li Tao muttered, and then stabbed Li Tu on his right with his elbow. Li Tu was not as gentle as Li Yuyu, and directly slapped him on the hand, making a crisp crackling sound.

This voice was extremely loud, and immediately attracted the eyes of the entire classroom, and the eunuch in charge of the ten people immediately walked over and asked in a cold voice: %22 Li Tao, are you making trouble again? %22

%22 Instructor, I didn't have ~%22 Li Tao tried to tell the difference, but before he could finish speaking, the eunuch in Tsing Yi directly took out the ring ruler, and the meaning was self-evident.

Li Tao couldn't, so he had to stretch out his right hand and was hit three times by the eunuch with a ring ruler.

%22Hehehe, the ghost Li in the three plums was beaten! %22

%22 is fantastic, last time I was plotted by this guy, and I lost the first place that I almost got to it, and this time I was beaten, it's really God's eyes. %22

%22 I just said, it's useless to be clever here, sooner or later someone will get caught. %22

After Li Tao was beaten, a series of discussions came, and in an instant, the entire auditorium resounded with a chaotic buzz.

%22 Quiet! %22 Zhu Youxiao, who was supervising Zhu Youxiao next to him, immediately became angry and yelled, suppressing these discussions. Then, with his baton in hand, he began to patrol the aisles.

As soon as he entered, the whole auditorium fell silent, except for the rustling of quill writing and the occasional questioning of the teenagers.

Exercise during the day, practice calligraphy at night, then physical training, and then wash up and turn off the lights to sleep, this is the life of a whole day in the forbidden army of the East Palace.

After the turmoil of the attack case passed, Yu Zhigao, Qi Jin and Sun Chengzong resumed their daily routines, giving lessons to Zhu Youxiao and bringing some information from the outside world by the way. There is nothing noteworthy in the court, but there are some major events among the people.

The most important thing is that there is a great drought in the northeast of Shandong, and the hungry people are in turmoil, and Wanli opens a warehouse for relief. In fact, the weather was already a little clueless when Wei Zhongxian went to recruit people, but no one paid attention to it.

For Sun Chengzong and the others, he didn't hide everything that happened here, and showed it generously. However, he didn't let them point out the comments, just let them see them. He himself was born as a professional soldier, and he has a vision far ahead of the times, and he knows very well the direction of military development in the future. Others just do it, and they don't need to say much.

The three of them spoke highly of his platoon drill training, believing that it was very conducive to the cultivation of discipline among soldiers, but they were noncommittal about whether or not to improve their combat effectiveness, and they had their own opinions.

Time passed little by little, and the news of Zhu Youxiao's performance of martial arts and soldiers gradually spread, which naturally caused an uproar, and the civil officials wrote to impeach one after another, saying that it was not in line with the ancestral system, but all the twists and turns were left in Wanli.

For this, all the civil officials have nothing to do, the army led by the grandson belongs to the imperial horse supervisor, for the last barrier of the emperor, the civil officials have no right to speak, they can only spray out the ancestral system. However, whether it is the crown prince of Taizu or the prince of Chengzu, they all have the experience of leading troops, and after this point was taken out as a shield, the civil officials were dumbfounded.

In the end, you can only default to the fact that things happen.

Things are going very smoothly in Tianjin, and a group of them have already taken root there. Its smoothness makes Zhu Youxiao, who encounters obstacles every time he wants to do something, very incredible.

But thinking about it, this is also a normal situation, such a luxurious lineup goes to the place, it is simply a Raptors crossing the river, and it is not normal if it does not go well.

They went to Tianjin to buy land and real estate, and bought the land by the sea in the name of Wang Sheng, and under the white money to open the way, plus the peace of the commander of the local guard station, they quickly took down a dilapidated salt farm, and then began to renovate and reorganize.

The 20,000 taels of silver they brought were barely enough, the local labor was very cheap, and the sea water didn't cost much, and the real big thing was the money to buy the land, and they bought all the land around the salt factory, and then it was the money for renovation, and the materials for laying the salt pans cost a lot.

There is no stone in the local area, so you can only use gunpowder to blow up the mountain to remove the stone, and then go to lay it. Coupled with the cost of giving gifts to officials, 20,000 taels of silver was barely enough, which could support the salt works until the construction was completed.

However, even if it is built, it will not produce salt so quickly, the debugging of brine concentration, the adjustment of production process, the opening of salt roads and the expansion of the relationship network, and so on.

After a full calculation, you can almost see the benefits by the end of the year at the latest.

However, Zhu Youxiao is not in a hurry, just wait slowly, anyway, he has more time at the end of the year, and the phalanx of almost 200 people is completed, and it will be just right to pick it up at that time.
