Emperor Hongzhi thought for a moment, but did not agree, only said that the early dynasty would discuss again, and then asked Yan Chengjin to withdraw from the main hall.

Yan Chengjin returned to the house and drew a mind map again.

The bosses who will block the road tomorrow may be Liu Jian, Han Wen, and the rest of the ministers will most likely wait and see.

"I have to go to Liu's Mansion."

Yan Chengjin ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and went to Liu's Mansion, and when he arrived at Liu's Mansion, after Menzi went to report, he hurriedly welcomed him into the main hall.

The Liu Mansion is more low-key than the Li Mansion, the courtyard is very large, but there is a lack of antique calligraphy and paintings in the main hall, and there are only a few red sandalwood seats, which are very simple.

"What are you doing here to find the old man?"

"The lower officials are afraid that the adults will not agree to open a shipyard in Liangxiang."

Liu Jian straightened up, picked up the tea and took a sip slightly, "The old man doesn't talk about feelings, only fairness, you go back." ”

"The justice of the adults will kill 30,000 homeless people in Liangxiang."

Burst!

Now his temper is much better, if he had been young, he would have beaten this kid a long time ago, he is not a good temper.

Liu Jian was angry and pointed at Yan Chengjin's nose, "You...... What nonsense? ”

"Your Excellency, please look at this!"

Yan Chengjin handed over two paintings, "The first painting is the "Liangxiang Well-off Picture" of the shipyard, and the latter painting is the "Liangxiang Portrait" of the shipyard that is not opened. ”

After Liu Jian saw it, he was stunned for a long time

The first painting, a mass-based sketch of a scrawny street, shows the highest body art of the era.

In the latter painting, everyone sings and dances, and every house hangs red lanterns and chili peppers, which is a picture of a well-off country.

"This ...... How can the old man believe you? ”

Yan Chengjin took out an account from his cuff and handed it to him.

"This is the number of displaced people to be hired by shipbuilding, and with a livelihood, they can truly become the people of a good country."

Liu Jian's eyes showed surprise in the depths of his eyes, "Who are you going to sell these merchant ships to?" ”

"Naturally, he is a businessman who comes to Liangxiang to run a business."

Liu Jian sighed, thought about it, and nodded.

In the early morning, the morning light is brilliant and the air is fresh.

Dongnuan Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi listened to the invitation of the ministers, and after a while, he said: "Liangxiang opened a shipyard, what do you think?" ”

Recently, I haven't heard that there is a public waiting for Pan, what is he doing in the shipyard?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible." Han Wen took a step forward, just opened the waterway and wanted to build a ship, and the next step was to go to Jixian Building to talk about silver with the official.

Liu Jian pondered for a moment, but said: "The minister thinks that setting up a shipyard in Liangxiang can make a living for the homeless. ”

"Gong Liu, why don't you ......" Han Wen looked at him in surprise.

Liu Jian took out an account from his cuff, "This is Yan Chengjin's painting and account for the minister, and the minister also hopes that one day, Liangxiang can have such a grand scene." ”

After Xiao Jing presented it to Emperor Hongzhi, he ordered two little eunuchs to stand on the imperial steps and stretch the picture open.

In the first painting, I can see that the ministers can't open their eyes, everyone is exposed, skinny, completely inhuman, and even ...... It's kind of like a youkai.

But no one complained about Yan Chengjin's painting skills.

Because the real outcasts, that's probably the case!

The minister couldn't bear to look at him.

On the other hand, the second picture is much more comfortable.

The streets are prosperous, red lanterns are hung high, firecrackers are set off in every house, and everyone's faces are full of smiles.

"I have approved the matter of opening a shipyard in Liangxiang, and this painting will be hung in the imperial study for me." Emperor Hongzhi pointed to the picture of everyone running to the well-off, and said: "Yan Qing's family, there is no joke in front of the king!" ”

"......" Yan Chengjin.

After the early dynasty, the ministers retreated, and Yan Chengjin remained in the palace.

"The minister still has something to do." Yan Chengjin didn't leave, and continued: "I beg Your Majesty's permission, in the future, the merchant ships manufactured by the Liangxiang Shipyard will only be taxed twice when they pass through the customs. ”

Emperor Hongzhi wondered, "What's the difference?" ”

Xiao Jing stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this is a big difference, there is a lot of silver levied, in this way, all the merchants in the world buy ships in Liangxiang, Lord Yan is really shrewd!" ”

Yan Chengjin was wondering, should he send Xiao Jing to the Bermuda Triangle?

"The minister didn't dare to deceive His Majesty, and collected a lot of taxes, but he didn't necessarily know that Caoyun would collect less taxes and silver, and the taxes brought by the Liangxiang shipyard were far more than those saved by Caoyun."

Emperor Hongzhi squinted: "How can I believe you?" ”

"How about a swear to Your Majesty?"

Xiao Jing said coldly: "Lord Yan shouldn't want to rectify Caoyun, right?" ”

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he looked at Yan Chengjin, his face gloomy and uncertain.

Xiao Jingneng stayed by his side, not only because of his loyalty, but also because of his talent, which was a well-known talent in the Inner Academy.

Therefore, sometimes, Emperor Hongji would also ask his opinion.

It's just that internal officials can't interfere in government affairs, and it's inconvenient to show it in front of ministers.

Yan Chengjin has his information in hand, Xiao Jing is not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also extremely high in martial arts, and his magic shot is not under Wang Shouren.

"Your Majesty is too worried, and the minister really doesn't plan to promote the world."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded at this time.

"But I also have a condition, the commercial tax of the Liangxiang shipyard is mentioned as fifteen and the tax is one!"

Raise taxes by half!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Write an IOU."

"......" Yan Chengjin.

Emperor Hongzhi was really not a fool, so he didn't ask him what time he had become, and wrote an IOU directly.

"Your Majesty, if the minister is not on it?"

Emperor Hongzhi was interested: "That's bullying, what do you say?" ”

……

Out of the palace,

Yan Chengjin came to Zeng's mansion, Song Jing has been studying hard in the mansion, and he hasn't seen him for a long time.

Menzi led him directly into the house.

In the study in the backyard of Zeng's mansion, there is a stove burning, and burning charcoal for heating is extremely luxurious, which shows Zeng Jian's love for Song Jing.

After Menzi left, Song Jing got up and said, "The student has seen Master Yan!" ”

"How did the official ask you to write "Song's Heavenly Work", how did you write it?"

"So far, all the students taught by Master Yan have been written."

"You think about this, don't let Zeng Jian see it, this official wants to open a shipyard in Liangxiang." Yan Chengjin took out Liu Daxia's shipbuilding drawings from his arms.

Song Jing took a closer look, and he was not too surprised, even the Hongyi General had made it, there was really nothing to be surprised about.

"How many are you going to make?"

"The more the merrier."

Although he promised His Majesty not to change his luck, when most of the merchants in the world bought the ships of Liangxiang, it would be meaningless to change them or not.

Yan Chengjin also repaired a letter to Liangxiang and asked Zhang Xian to build a shipyard and purchase wood.

A few days passed, and it snowed blizzly, and Emperor Hongzhi was considerate of the ministers and took a day off.

Yan Chengjin did not go out in the house, and the heating system was installed in the new house.

It's just that the air leakage in the wing room is serious, and the hot water is difficult to reflux, so the effect is not easy to use.

After Yang Tinghe disciplined Zhu Houzhao, the frequency of this guy coming to the house was much smaller, Zhu Houzhao was the master of rain or shine, there must be some reason to prevent him from going over the wall and leaving the palace.

Three or two families were clearing the snow in the courtyard, and the trees in the courtyard were only bare branches.

"Young master, mutton soup will nourish your body." The daughter came in with a small bowl of hot soup.

"It's so snowy, have you drunk it?"

"Well, everyone in the house has drunk it." The daughter is grateful to Dai Dedao.

As a subordinate in Yanfu, you can still drink a mouthful of mutton soup to nourish your body in winter, which was something you didn't dare to think of before.

Yan Chengjin brought it over and drank it in one go.

At this time, outside the gate of the Yan Mansion.

Yan Kesong looked at this mansion and sighed a lot, the old man didn't go to Ningxia for a year, why didn't he even have a plaque......

"Master, let's go in, it's cold." The house manager was overjoyed: "The Yan Mansion has changed now, but it is big." ”

The house steward was carrying a bag, and Lin Song was carrying a green steel sword, standing beside Yan Kesong on the left and right.

Knock knock!

"The mountains have trees and branches, if they are right, I will open the door, if they can't come up, come back tomorrow."

The next sentence was originally that the heart was happy and the gentleman didn't know.

But this is Cheng Jin's code word, how can it be so simple?

I don't know ...... It must be wrong.

Yan Kesong knew that he couldn't come up, so he simply coughed dryly, "Master Ben is back, open the door quickly!" ”

The door looked through the crack in the door, and sure enough, it was the master, and the house steward, happily opened the door, and then ran to inform the young master.

Yan Kesong burst into tears, and finally came back.
