When Wang Yue came to the palace, it was like going home, all of them were talents, and they spoke well.

He came with a smile, but found that Princess Yongkang and the concubine Cui Yuan were very cramped and uneasy...... How so? Parents in the world, there is no one who is not afraid of the teacher, but they also came to sue the teacher for the black state, which makes people catch a look, which is much more exciting than cheating in the exam.

The two of them suddenly had an absurd idea...... In case Wang Yue is okay this time, his unlucky son, I'm afraid that his ass will bloom, right?

"Wang Yue, you come over to the mourning family!"

Empress Dowager Jiang called Wang Yue in front of her, looked at the young man, and suddenly found that Wang Yue's face was a little red, and there were many cracks, very thin, very dense, all over the two faces.

What a sin! If you wash it with water, it will hurt so much!

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Jiang is not so angry, what is there to be angry about, her own children, even if they squander 500,000 taels, it is nothing, not to mention that they bought such a large piece of land!

"Little Fugui, what are you busy with? How not to be careful! ”

Wang Yue smiled, but the muscles contracted, and the wound was affected again, but fortunately, it was better to be calm!

"Queen Mother, I went to Xishan to have a look. The weather was cold and the mountain wind was strong, so it was blown off, but it was okay. It will be fine in a while. ”

Jiang reproached: "How old is it? Still running around? We are from the south, the capital is bitterly cold, and the wind and sand are strong...... If only Emperor Taizongwen hadn't moved the capital. ”

Wang Yue didn't dare to answer, he didn't dare to criticize Zhu Laosi casually.

Fortunately, the Jiang family didn't want to complain more, but asked instead: "Xiao Fugui, you bought Xishan for the Ai family, do you have any plans?" ”

"Yes!"

Wang Yue nodded very hard, "Queen Mother, we have made a fortune this time!" Wang Yue's eyes were bright, his tone was excited, and his fists were raised involuntarily.

The old queen mother said: "You stinky boy, spending money is first-class, but making money may not be!" What are you going to do with the mourners? ”

Wang Yue subconsciously looked at Princess Yongkang and her family, "That...... Queen Mother, is it appropriate to divulge trade secrets? ”

Empress Dowager Jiang snorted, "How inappropriate!" It's all your own family, so you don't need to hide it! ”

These two people are submissive, no matter how they listen, they are a bit like blaming them, not upright enough.

Wang Yue smiled, "Since the Queen Mother commanded, then I will say it." ”

"This coal mine in Xishan is not just as simple as supplying coal to the capital...... Although the profits of Carboniferous are not low, there are still many articles to be done. This first one is the minister's gunpowder factory, and of course it is also His Majesty's industry, your old man's cash cow......"

Jiang Shi was curious, "What, it still has something to do with the gunpowder factory?" ”

"Of course, you don't think that gunpowder factories just produce gunpowder, do you? In fact, the real big man is still steel. In the past, charcoal was the main form of ironmaking...... But your old man also knows that the wind and sand in the capital are big, the wood available around is getting less and less, and the price is getting higher and higher, and high-quality anthracite is the most needed thing for the gunpowder factory! ”

"With an abundant supply of anthracite, steel production can be multiplied several times, dozens of times...... There is more steel, and it is a good thing to build farm tools, molds, and even knives, guns, and halberds, which are profitable and beneficial to the country and the people. ”

Jiang Shi smiled on his face, "Although the mourning family is a woman's family and doesn't understand this, I think it's a good thing to listen to what you said." It can not only make money, but also benefit the people...... It's hard for you to come up with it! ”

Wang Yue said: "Actually, this is only the first use of coal...... There's also a bigger business, and that's brick burning! ”

"Burning bricks?"

Wang Yue nodded, "Queen Mother, since last year, your old man has raised silver taels to settle the displaced people, and now the outer city is still building a lot of construction. The city walls must be repaired, and the homes of the common people must also be repaired. The number of bricks and tiles alone is staggering, and the demand is completely outstripped. Think about it, if we open the coal from Xishan, how much will it cost? ”

Empress Dowager Jiang had gradually narrowed her eyes, and even her breathing was short.

As for Princess Yongkang and Cui Yuan, their mouths were even more open, and they were reluctant to close them!

Good boy!

This Wang Yue can really turn stones into gold!

When people mine coal, just thinking about heating, he even thinks of iron-making and brick-burning...... If these two businesses are done, the profits will not be less than mining.

A little stone into gold, worthy of the name!

"Xiao Fugui, you are really the golden boy of the mourning family!" Empress Dowager Jiang couldn't help but pull Wang Yue's arm, "You went to Xishan and ran so hard, it's all for this!" The mourning family knows that your intentions are good. ”

Wang Yue chuckled, "This is what a minister should do." Chen also has an idea, these businesses are not trivial. Relying on our investment and recruiting manpower is still too slow, and the minister means to make a public offering, attract some powerful businessmen, and let them invest in it. ”

Empress Dowager Jiang frowned slightly, "Xiao Fugui, since the business is profitable, and the mourning family is not without money, why let them mix, how can there be a reason to divide the meat in the mouth?" I don't like to hear what you say. ”

"Hahaha!" Wang Yue chuckled, "Queen Mother, such a big business, the manpower needed is hundreds of thousands, and it all depends on us to spend money to hire it, how can it be so fast?" And what kind of identity do you have, how can you do mining to make money, it's too difficult to earn this money! ”

"The mourning family doesn't care!"

Empress Dowager Jiang snorted coldly: "The Ming Dynasty is killed with a sword, and the mourning family is not afraid of hardship, but is afraid of poverty!" Now His Majesty has tried his best every day to clear the acres of land, and the mourning family also wants to help him. ”

Wang Yue smiled happily, "Queen Mother." Have you ever thought about it, pulling big guys to invest is to let them transfer their funds and labor to this! The Marquis of Wu Ding's home has proven that after the purging of the Zhang, many laborers will be released, and if there is nothing to do, these laborers will add to the chaos...... On the contrary, if you can mine and make iron, these laborers will create infinite wealth for the Ming Dynasty! ”

"And the big family, after having this way out, you won't be bent on working against Your Majesty, your old man has helped Your Majesty a lot!"

"Oops!"

Jiang Shi woke up like a dream, my God, this brain has made Xiao Fugui grow, this child is a golden boy, he is a good wealth boy!

"yes, that's great! The mourning family is ready! Xiao Fugui, do you have any other suggestions? ”

"Yes!" Wang Yue chuckled, "You still have a lot of cash in your old man's hand, right?" Of course...... I don't want money! If anyone has more money in their hands and takes it out to lend, they will definitely be able to make a lot of money...... In the past, these profits were all from Shanxi, and others could not get involved. Even our Huguang Chamber of Commerce can only watch. But if you are willing to show mercy and help, it will definitely be done. It's not good if the interest rate is too high, just set it at 10 percent, your old money can increase by 10 percent every year, just like a snowball is getting bigger and bigger, this is what life looks like, what do you always think? ”

"Say no more! What a good boy you are, my son! ”

Empress Dowager Jiang was so happy that she hugged Wang Yue and touched her forehead dotingly, this is a treatment that even Zhu Houxi can't enjoy!

The old queen mother was satisfied, and turned around and looked at Princess Yongkang and her family.

"How about it, you have seen Wang Yue's ability this time, right? Don't blame the mourning family and His Majesty for valuing him, are you convinced or not by this calculation? ”

Wear!

There is nothing else left but clothes!

"Queen Mother, Lord Wang Yue is really whimsical, and no one can match it...... It's just that it doesn't seem to have to spend money to buy land in West Mountain, right? Cui Yuansheng was afraid that he would be said to be falsely accused, so he reminded the Jiang family that there was still such a thing!

Empress Dowager Jiang snorted, "You are really a scholar!" The mourning family tells you that Wang Yue's purpose is to do this! This is one of them, since it is to let the big guys participate and contribute money and efforts, there must always be a follow. If you mourn for nothing, others want to take it for nothing, then you will break the original intention. What's more, the mourning family has paid 500,000 taels, can others pay less? This is the value of Xishan! Can't be compromised! ”

"Besides, the mourning family is renting the mining right from Shuntianfu, and they have to give Shuntianfu a sum of money every year, which is also to enrich the treasury, so that Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about money every day. There are mourners taking the lead, but we have to see who dares to evade taxes! Who would dare to take advantage of the imperial court? ”

Empress Dowager Jiang was murderous, "Yongkang, you also have a business at home, right?" ”

When Princess Yongkang heard this, she hurriedly said: "What the Queen Mother said is that when you turn around, let them make up the taxes, and there is the Queen Mother's mother in the world, who would dare to mess around!" ”

Jiang nodded, "Okay, you two have good intentions, but you are not smart enough, and some things are shallow." By the way, didn't that son of yours worship Wang Yue as a teacher? It's okay, you two should study hard, don't make jokes. ”

What else could these two people say, only one of them nodded vigorously. Cui Yuan's forehead was sweating, for fear that Wang Yue would settle accounts with them.

At this time, Jiang Shi pulled Wang Yue up, and said with a smile as he walked: "The mourning family will take you to see a good place, Your Majesty wants to see it, but the mourning family didn't let it, this time, you are blessed!" ”
