Juxian Tea House.

Zhang Meng is drinking tea leisurely.

He crossed his legs and seemed to be very comfortable.

In the distance, a crowd of people came towards him.

Zhang Meng muttered, "Found it so soon? ”

"These guys are in such a hurry!"

"Hey, hey!"

The group of people who came was Boss Zhao at the head.

Boss Zhao changed into a strong outfit today, brought a pair of bracers, and a knife hanging by his side.

"The surname Zhang, who went to Shuntianfu to complain, Jingshi spread rumors, is it you!"

Zhang Meng took a leisurely sip of tea and said slowly: "It's here, how are you doing?" ”

Hearing that the owner confessed, Boss Zhao immediately became furious.

He took out his knife, slashed at the case, and said with a cruel smile: "Dog, Lao Zhao doesn't care what your reason is, just ask you a word, how to compensate the uncle?" ”

The person next to him also chimed in: "Let him pay!" ”

"This bastard, if you don't lose millions of silver, you will put it in a sack and sink into the sea!"

"If you lose it, you will break his dog's leg!"

Zhang Meng's eyebrows slowly rose up, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes: "Are you ignoring the royal law?" ”

"Hahahaha!"

Boss Nalin laughed and said jokingly: "Wang Fa, we are very law-abiding, and the person surnamed Zhang owes us five million silver, this is evidence." ”

Pulling out a piece of paper, Boss Lin looked at the table and patted it.

Unhurriedly, he continued: "Boss Zhang Meng, don't worry, this piece of paper ...... You'll have your signature later. ”

Zhang Meng was even more angry and said: "I can also go to Shuntianfu again and sue you and others for oppressing the good people, this contract was forced by you to sign it!" ”

Hahahaha!

Everyone laughed.

One of the handsome young men, Si Si Sven, stood up and said lightly: "This official is the head of the Household Department Treasure Banknote Promotion, and he can testify for Boss Lin, this is a contract signed by both parties voluntarily. ”

Another man with a mustache stood up with square steps: "This official is Lang Zhong of the Department of Criminal Affairs, I wonder if I can help Boss Lin make a corroboration?" ”

Hahahaha!

This time, it was Zhang Meng who laughed.

Everyone looked at him sympathetically, this Zhang Meng, was he stupid?

At this time, can you still laugh?

But!

Zhang Meng Shi Ran took out a piece of paper and said, "I also have a contract here, I don't know if you are interested in taking a look?" ”

Boss Wang picked it up and looked at it, and his nose was crooked!

Because, indeed, this is a formal procurement contract.

However, the purchase price of the contract ...... More than ten times lower than the purchase price!

The man with the mustache was even more angry: "This official is a five-grade official of the imperial court, and you dare to tease me?" ”

Suddenly, a voice came from afar.

"Wupin official, is it big?"

"I'm not talented, but Zhu Lin, the heir of Chengguo, I don't know if I can enter the eyes of this Langzhong?"

"I'm not talented, and I haven't been knighted yet, hmm...... Under is the only heir of Yangwu Hou! ”

The sound of giggling kept coming.

"I'm even less talented, but the son of the Duke of Baoguo......"

"Lao Tzu is not very talented, and he is not qualified to attack the lord, so Lao Tzu helped the Jinyi Guard to command Lord Mu Bin to shout, and Lord Mu is also willing to testify!"

"Ahem, this official Shuntianfu Yin Wuqing, so I don't need to be introduced by others......"

Soon, a group of people came out of the hidden place.

The one in charge is Yin Wuqing of Shuntian Mansion.

Wu Qing was dressed in an official robe, his demeanor was solemn, he was not angry and arrogant, and he was accompanied by several officials behind him.

He said angrily: "In broad daylight, there are evil officials such as you, who are ravaging businessmen and traitors!" ”

"This official will gather with the imperial history, gather with the Jinyi Guard to command the envoy Lord Mu, and wait for a copy to His Majesty!"

Turning around, Wu Qing ordered the officials beside him again: "Come on, take these businessmen into custody!" ”

"Break into the prison of Shuntianfu, and wait for the official to personally try it tomorrow!"

Several officials responded loudly: "No! ”

It's just that.

The officials let go of Boss Lin, who was one of the first three.

Because, Boss Zhao was trembling, and Boss Wang's face was colorless.

But Boss Lin is already scared to pee!

Tick-tock, smoky!

At this point, the dust has settled!

Zhu Houzhao, on the other side of the courtyard wall of the tea house, shook his head regretfully.

You guys, you can't bear the showdown?

Don't worry, you can play for a few more days!

There are still a lot of means in this palace that have not been used!

If you don't need your channels!

If it weren't for the fear that it would be more difficult to purchase raw materials in the future, this palace would have made your family rich.

How can I give you a chance?

What a pity!

Arrange for people to come to your door to throw shit, and arrange for small people to go to your house to rebel and make trouble......

There is no time for these means!

———— subparagraph————

Although this little fight delayed time.

Fortunately, it didn't delay much business.

Even if there are no materials, but digging a pit can be done with a hoe!

Zhu Houzhao commanded many horse farmers to dig up their own land first.

In this way, he did not affect the progress, but made a lot of money.

When Emperor Hongzhi saw it, he couldn't laugh or cry.

But the emperor's heart was deep, and he threw it directly into the brazier, and green smoke rose.

After no one dared to make trouble, the progress was also speeding up.

Small farmers also think clearly!

It's not work for someone else!

It's for yourself!

Moreover, there is also a Royal Highness the Crown Prince who provides money, food, people, and guidance.

The people arranged by Zhu Houzhao also quickly reached an agreement with many village elders, old people, village officials, village protectors, etc.

This time, Zhu Houzhao really invested a lot of money.

It is not that the imperial court has not repaired water conservancy, and it is not that counties, townships, and villages have not repaired water conservancy.

But to be honest, it's mostly a face-saving project.

To be able to have a channel into the township and to be able to build a reservoir is already a great political achievement.

But Zhu Houzhao is different!

He really has a large reservoir per township, a large canal per 100 acres, and a pond for every household...... Such horror standards are designed.

So, don't look at the fact that only two prefectures are involved, but the effort to be spent is really not young and old.

To complete the entire investment, Zhu Houzhao compressed it several times, and it also cost nearly 10 million taels of silver.

Of course, it doesn't have to be a one-time investment.

The biggest investment is still in the reservoir.

That's almost 60 percent.

But if you want to build a reservoir, it won't take a few years, and it's no fun.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao is not in a hurry.

He's got a lot of attention to cement.

But he had only heard it.

He could only find some craftsmen, relay what he had heard, and let these craftsmen toss around blindly.

All right!

Cement is actually very simple!

It was poured out after three days!

Thus, the first cement was used.

But it was the enthusiasm of these small people that was completely aroused that the scene was truly terrifying.

100,000 households, and the whole family was on the scene.

Men and women, young and old.

It doesn't matter if it's day or night.

After Zhu Houzhao helped design it, these small farmers were the first to dig their own ponds.

As soon as the cement arrived, a few random people put the pond on it.

Then, there's the aqueduct.

At this time, the people arranged by Zhu Houzhao began to organize.

Those who open mountains and take stones, those who hold hammers to break stones, those who stir, and those who dig ditches are in full swing.

And then there's the waterwheel.

Zhu Houzhao simply sent the drawings down.

Nearly nine out of ten people in the small farmers have worked in stone and wood.

A dozen or so people can set up a big waterwheel in a day.

Then, it's time to build bridges and some main roads.

In less than two months, these minor works are almost complete.

The rest, is the big reservoir!

But this is a big project, and there is really no need to be in too much of a hurry.

First, the existing water resources can be taken from rivers; The second is that the reservoir is just in case!

In Zhu Houzhao's memory, there have been droughts and floods in Hebei and Shandong in recent years...... Hardly.

As a result, chickens, ducks, geese, fish fry, taro, and grain seeds were transported.

It is a post station under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei, and the court gives it extremely refreshing.

However, there are still troubles.

———— subparagraph————

can throw out the burden of the post station, the ministers of the court, the cabinet, the six books, and the left and right servants, none of them disagree!

For the first time, the Ming court demonstrated high efficiency.

All the formalities involved, starting from the small officials of various departments, whether they are envoys or ambassadors, no one delays.

Straight to the main thing.

Then there are the staff wailang, langzhong, and the left and right waiters.

In the afternoon, it was time for Lord Shangshu to sign.

This kind of efficiency made Mu Bin dumbfounded.

At the same time, it also made Mu Bin cry.

Because, too fast!

Where does he have so much effort and so much silver?

Labor and management take over now, do you want labor and management to die!

There was no way, he could only go to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and groaned, not caring at all.

This kind of thing is too simple, isn't it?

He summoned a few little bullies and instructed: "You go to contact the rich, nobles, and businessmen in the capital respectively, and the palace will personally contact a few royal relatives, and the palace will do a big thing!" ”

Find a partner!

In Zhu Houzhao's opinion, what's so difficult about this kind of thing?

Money, one person can't make enough.

In that case, find someone to invest.

The post station system has the best geographical location in the world.

And there is a brocade guard as a confidence.

Just as a warehouse, who would dare to rob it?

Zhu Houzhao often thinks, don't look at the imperial court often sends a large army to suppress bandits and quell the rebellion, which is troublesome and consumes food.

But you send out the brocade guards to see!

These dog things can take the heads of those bandit leaders at night.

Don't doubt it, Jinyiwei has this ability!

This army of the Son of Heaven, from Zhu Houzhao's point of view, has not yet exerted its true power!

Therefore, he is very confident!

What he wants to do is to bind more powerful, powerful, rich, and well-connected guys.

In order to do so, truly prevent others from taking advantage of the station!

Furthermore, what Zhu Houzhao wants to do is to create a logistics system that can pass the world!

The post station is the front warehouse of this logistics system.

That's what he really thinks!

For example, the fruits in Guangxi are less than a penny when they are picked.

But what about transporting to Jingshi?

Without three or five dollars of silver, many people can't eat it!

So, how profitable is this?

Why can't you make these profits yourself?

Strange goods!

When logistics are carried out, the flow of goods will accelerate.

Silver tickets will also speed up circulation!

Even if Zhu Houzhao doesn't make money in logistics, just the profits made by Dade Bank can support him!

Thereupon!

The British public contributed 500,000 taels, the Chengguo public contributed 500,000 taels, and the marquis contributed 500,000 taels......

In just three days, Zhu Houzhao began to stop.

At this time, he had already signed an investment agreement of 10 million taels.

Don't panic when you have money in your hands.

Zhu Houzhao began to do the second thing.

Tender!

Well, this time there are so many guys with deep backgrounds.

No businessman dares to make trouble.

Things have also been carried out one by one.

Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to care about the rest of the matter.

He pushed it all to Mu Bin.

Anyway, there are a lot of Jinyi Wei talents!

He's going to do something else now—to take over the Imperial Village.

can accept the imperial village, but it made Zhu Houzhao frown.

Don't look at what he said easily, he will pay an extra thirty percent to Emperor Hongzhi next year.

But Zhu Houzhao knows one thing clearly.

The most complicated and sinister place in the world is not the palace.

It's Huangzhuang!
