"In other words, when Feng Bao went to Zhang Juzheng's mansion, the entourage he brought with him were all his own subordinates, and there was no Dongchang Da Jue or Fanzi? Are you sure? ”

"Sure, we all know his cronies in Dongchang, and none of them followed."

"How long has he been in Zhang Juzheng's mansion?"

"It's been almost an hour."

"Do you bring anything in or out?"

"Bring in a long mahogany box, which looks like it's supposed to be for calligraphy and paintings. When you come out, you come out empty-handed, and you shouldn't have anything else with you, unless it's too small. ”

"Well, how was he feeling before he went in, and how was he feeling when he came out?"

"This ...... Because it had rained before, there was still a little drizzle when he came out, and he was wearing a coat at the time, with a big hat on his head, and he really couldn't see it. However, he was more anxious when he went in, and easier when he came out. ”

"Very good, you are very careful in your observation, and you will receive an extra two hundred taels of silver later."

"Little Grandpa Xie, Xie Gaoyude."

"You should know that you can't tell anyone about it, right?"

"The little one understands, the nine generations of the little ancestors are all Jinyi Guards, and I still understand this rule, please rest assured that the little grandfather."

"Very good, then you go down, as I said before, you will each have five hundred taels. You should deal with it decently, and you will be magnanimous, and you will be allowed to take two hundred taels more...... After you take the money, go back immediately to make arrangements, tomorrow I will have someone send you to Nanjing for business for half a year, you should go to play and relax, after you come back, I will look at the arrangement above the errand. ”

"Thank you, little grandfather, thank you Gao Yude."

"Well, go ahead."

……

In the room, Zhu Yingzhen brushed away the folding fan in his hand, and said to Gao Pragmatic with a smile: "Pragmatic and virtuous brother, what my brother promised you didn't mess up for you, right?" ”

"Brother Ying Zhen, if I didn't reassure you, how could I entrust you with such an important matter?" Gao said with a smile: "But this matter is not over, there are still a lot of follow-up things, and we must continue to trouble Brother Ying Zhen." ”

Zhu Yingzhen smiled and said, "Eh, if you say that, you're out of sight, aren't you?" What is the friendship between you and my brother, what's the trouble or not? Don't worry, your business is my Zhu Yingzhen's business...... It's not just me, the nobles of the Shenjing family, who didn't do their best to help when they heard that you had something? But ......"

"Brother Ying Zhen, rest assured, what I promised, which time will not be fulfilled immediately? The mouth alkali from Shanxi will be bought and sold by Brother Ying Zhen from now on, not to mention elsewhere, at least my Jinghua Soap Factory will only take the goods from you. ”

Zhu Yingzhen laughed, patted Gao Pragmatic's shoulder hard, and was so affectionate that he seemed to be talking to his own brother: "Pragmatic and virtuous brother really believes in people, he is really a promise...... "When he said this, he paused slightly, coughed lightly, and asked in a low voice: "However, I heard that Yuangong has won the trade of marketing honeycomb coal?" ”

Gao Pragmatic didn't seem to be strange at all, and nodded again and again: "Yes, there is such a thing, after all, Brother Yuan Gong is also dealing with some troublesome things for the younger brother...... Of course, the matter on his side is not as important as Brother Yingzhen's, so it is almost enough to get a Gyeonggi marketing authorization for honeycomb coal. ”

He said, paused slightly, and explained slightly: "After all, Brother Ying Zhen, you also know that the expansion of the soap factory is imminent, and the demand for this alkali will only increase in the future, so the income of this alkali business will definitely be high in sesame blossoming, and it will be better than a year." The honeycomb coal is different, even if Brother Ying Zhen doesn't go to grab it with Brother Yuangong, he can only eat the marketing of Gyeonggi, this business seems to be not small, but there is not much room for growth, this year is this number, and next year and the year after it will be almost this number, but it can't be compared with the mouth alkali. ”

Zhu Yingzhen thought about it a little and roughly agreed with Gao Pragmatic's statement, but thinking of Gao Pragmatic's ability to make money, he still felt a little itchy, and couldn't help asking: "Pragmatic and virtuous brother, they all say that you are a golden hand, Wei Hui Mansion borrowed 300,000 taels, Wei Hui Haoshen gave it to you without even blinking an eyelid, I wonder if your recent actions are not small, is there any way to make a fortune?" Can you let the foolish brother also get some light? You also know that although our Chengguo Mansion is a big business, but the expenses are also large, the foolish brother has a tight hand, so he expects you to help him, those rabbit cubs are all iron roosters, how can you be so arrogant, right? ”

Gao pragmatic pouted in his heart, and said secretly: Lao Tzu just threw you a transaction with an annual income of at least twenty or thirty thousand taels of net profits, and in a few years, it may be able to reach thirty or fifty thousand taels a year, and you don't have to do anything else except for a little ghost from the Beijing camp that knows whether it is useful or useless, you can lie down and count the money, you are still not satisfied, is it really that I am Gao someone who is a good person?

He wanted to shirk it, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it, after all, although Zhu Yingzhen was the one who came forward, he actually represented the two grandfathers behind him - Zhu Xizhong and Zhu Xixiao.

Although the power in the hands of these two did not play a role in the historical battle of Gao Zhang, it was only because there was no need for the two brothers to mix, which did not mean that the power was not enough, or that it was not easy to use.

At least Gao Pragmatic needs their support and cooperation very much now, especially Zhu Xixiao's Jinyiwei - if you want to narrow down the scope a little, it is Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi.

Zhu Xixiao is no better than the ordinary Jinyi Wei governor, his family background and their brother's status in the emperor's mind have long determined that his control of Jinyi Wei is far from being comparable to those nominal governors, and he can't control Beizhen Fusi at all. This lord's prestige in Beizhen Fusi may be slightly inferior to that of Lu Bing back then, and they were asked to drive dogs to the east, but they would never dare to chase chickens to the west.

And Feng Bao relied on the advantages of mastering the East Factory to stir up the wind and rain in private, and Gao Pragmatic had already known it. It's just that he knows that the power at hand is not easy to deal with - and he doesn't want to rebel, what else can you do to kill Dongchang Fanzi?

So he can only use the power of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi to deal with it, so the face of the Chengguo Mansion can still be given.

Money, if you don't spend it, it's equal to nothing. What's more, if Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng can't be handled, they may not be able to keep the high arch, and if they can't keep the high arch, they may not be able to keep the money, so what is there to hesitate about?

What's more, he didn't give real money, just an option......

"There is a sale, and it is a big deal, and it is ......"

"And? And what? When Zhu Yingzhen heard that even Gao Pragmatic said that it was a "big deal", his heart couldn't help beating wildly - he was already very familiar with Gao Pragmatic, and knew that in Gao Pragmatic's eyes, the transaction within 100,000 taels was all drizzle, such as the sale of Gyeonggi honeycomb coal, Gao Pragmatic looked like it was indispensable every time he mentioned it, so angry that people didn't dare to squeak, after all, people really seem to have learned a little stone into alchemy, what to do, what to make money.

Gao Shishi's face was calm, but his tone seemed to have added the temptation of the devil: "And this deal is not only big, but it may be like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger." ”

Zhu Yingzhen's eyes almost fell out, and his throat moved several times in succession.
