Zhang Heling happily gave Yan Chengjin 600,000 taels, and he didn't plan to pay it back, so this deal was not a loss at all.

Coincidentally, Yan Chengjin didn't plan to return his silver.

Recruit sailors to go to sea, and your Majesty will definitely find out, and the ship will not be able to go to sea.

"Please also ask the lord to make a deed according to the new commercial law, and pay the silver, which will not be returned."

"Oh, the virtuous nephew is right, if you don't pay it back."

Zhang Heling was ecstatic.

There are two silver mines in the island country, and when they are all dug up, they will not be able to eat them all as white rice.

Xie Yu has not been in the capital for a long time, but he also knows that Shou Ninghou is not a person who does things according to the contract.

He violated the law, and it was useless to sue him to the palace.

"Lord Yan, you will lose money, you can't transport silk, tea and refined salt for half a year, and the Chamber of Commerce will lose at least 150,000 taels."

Wang Busui also felt uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to speak out.

Zhang Heling glared at them angrily, afraid that Yan Chengjin would change his mind, so he made a note and said to Yan Chengjin: "Take me to the boat." ”

Of the five large ships in Liangxiang, one was parked at the pier.

The rest stop at the Tongzhou Grand Canal.

Zhang Xian personally took him to the district boat, Zhang Heling was so emotional that he shed tears and directly hired the sailors of the big ship.

I can't wait for a moment, those would-be robbers, it's his silver that's digging at the moment.

If you wait one more day, you will lose tens of thousands of taels.

Thinking of this, he was so grief-stricken that he couldn't breathe.

Half a day later, the tow family boarded the big boat, and Zhang Heling hurriedly instructed the housekeeper: "Go!" ”

It's lonely to sail on the sea, and he even brought his concubine, this time it's finally foolproof, right?

At this moment, a team of men and horses dressed in flying fish costumes rushed along the waterways of Liangxiang.

Mu Bin shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree to order the Hou Ye to enter the palace to face the saint!" ”

Zhang Heling kicked his feet and urged the sailors: "Don't pay attention to it, hurry up!" ”

The distance was too far to catch up, Mu Bin knew that Zhang Heling would not stop, so he hurriedly went to find Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin was waiting here for a long time, so he waited for Jinyiwei to come: "Lord Mu sent someone to Tongzhou, and Shouning will stop the boat there." ”

Tongzhou is not far from the capital, and it only takes two hours to drive a fast horse to the capital.

Mu Bin changed horses and rushed to Tongzhou non-stop, and he was bound to arrest Shouning Hou back.

In the early morning of the next day, a red sun began to rise.

Yan Chengjin stood beside the silver mirror and spread his hands.

The single day is the spring dawn change, and the double day is the daughter change.

The daughter took out the regular clothes of the imperial history.

Yan Chengjin shook his head: "Young Master Ben is going to wear a bullfighting uniform today." ”

"Slave, this will be changed for the young master."

At this time, He Neng trotted in and reported: "Young master, Jinyi Wei is here to announce and let you enter the palace immediately." ”

Yan Chengjin had breakfast, sat in a sedan chair and came to the noon gate, at this time, it was still early, and there were only a few ministers on duty in the palace in the court.

Soon, he came to the door of the Fengtian Temple and strode into the main hall.

Li Dongyang and the three were also in the main hall, and Zhu Houzhao was even more rarely summoned.

Zhang Heling saw Yan Chengjin, and knelt down to Emperor Hongzhi and shouted: "Your Majesty, let Yan Chengjin return the minister's silver, and the minister will say!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi already knew the whole story: "Yan Qing's family, return 600,000 taels to Shou Ninghou, and I will not allow five big ships to go to sea." ”

Yan Chengjin thought for a moment and took out the deed from his arms: "This is the opportunity set by the Marquis of Shouning, and it will not be returned." ”

Ming law, even the emperor needs to abide by it, otherwise, the monarch will not become a joke.

A holy decree was issued, even if it was wrong, it also needed to be recovered with another holy decree, which was the law set by Zhu Yuanzhang.

lost 600,000 taels of silver in vain, Zhang Heling was furious: "If the silver is not returned, the minister will not say anything if he kills him!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi became embarrassed, with the law on one side and the relatives of the country on the other.

In all fairness, Yan Chengjin grabbed 600,000 taels for nothing, which was a bit excessive.

Li Dongyang and the three of them nodded, and heard that Zhang Heling also sold his fields and shops in order to raise this money.

Suddenly, I felt a little sorry for Zhang Heling.

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was embarrassed, and the matter might have to be made to Empress Zhang, Yan Chengjin pondered for a moment and said: "Don't say it, the minister can guess that he has found a silver mountain overseas." ”

Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the hall.

Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded, and Li Dongyang and the three of them showed varying degrees of shock.

Zhang Heling looked at Yan Chengjin with wide eyes as if he had seen a ghost, as if asking how do you know?

Yan Chengjin continued: "Shouning Hou went to sea to find Yinshan, and now he has come back to borrow a boat, presumably, he has found Yinshan.

And the lease period on the deed is half a year, and it can be returned in three months, and the Japanese have silver transactions on the coast, and the minister guesses that the silver mountain is in the island country. ”

Zhang Heling was suffocated, he was a little out of breath, and he was all hit!

Except for their brothers, no one in the Ming Dynasty could know about the silver mines of the island country.

Yan Chengjin has never even been out of the capital, how did he know?

"Your Majesty! The minister said, but His Majesty will turn the silver mine into silver and distribute it to the minister! ”

Not to mention, when the imperial court sends someone, there will be no point.

Zhang Heling's face was flustered, and he quickly knelt on the ground.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhang Heling's face and knew that what Yan Chengjin said was right.

This is...... Auspicious!

"How much is one percent? There is no impossibility, I can allow you, if you dig out 10,000 taels, I can give you 200 taels. Emperor Hongji became excited.

Zhang Heling's face collapsed: "Let Yan Chengjin return 300,000 taels of silver!" ”

"I want to return it."

The silver that occupies Zhang Heling is not taken care of, and no matter how reasonable Queen Zhang is, she will be angry.

This matter ends here, it is the best choice, 300,000 taels for nothing, no loss.

Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded, and Bengong was beaten up to earn 25,000 taels......

"In Iwami, the island country, there is a silver mine, and my two brothers went down to the mine, and their eyes were full of silver, but they could produce silver a day, 50,000 taels."

Zhang Heling was afraid that Emperor Hongzhi would not believe it, so he exaggerated several times and hid a Sado silver mine, and he did not lose money.

Yan Chengjin squinted his eyes slightly, Shi Jian Silver mined silver, which accounted for one-third of the world in the Ming Dynasty, and under the full exploitation, there were more than 50,000.

When Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang heard this, they were petrified like amber.

Why is there a mountain of silver everywhere except for Daming?

"Your Majesty is about to order someone to go, the Japanese are mining stones every day, and they are about to be hollowed out." Zhang Heling said distressedly.

"The minister thinks that it is impossible, the daimyo of the island country is constantly fighting, and those who can occupy the silver mountain must have strong troops.

Daming rashly sent troops, if there was no food, Daming would defeat itself.

The minister thought that the best opportunity was to wait for Wang Shouren to conquer Satsuma. ”

Yan Chengjin, as one of the Jiuqing, has weight in his words.

The imperial court needs to start from the Tongzhou warehouse in the capital, and it is separated by the sea and thousands of miles, so it is easy to run out of grain and grass.

Emperor Hongzhi ordered someone to take the map.

After Li Dongyang and the three of them saw the map, they unanimously agreed that they couldn't fight.

"If Wang Shouren really needs to defeat the Satsuma Kingdom, do I want to send reinforcements?"

Originally, I didn't care about the Ryukyus, but after reading the map, I became concerned.

The Japanese invaded Guangdong and Songjiang provinces for a long time, and the Tatars had been waiting for an opportunity to capture the Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming Dynasty has a silver mountain, they will definitely come to occupy it, and the weak eat the strong, which is the way to survive.

Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang took it for granted.

"There is a huge disparity in the strength of the Ryukyus and the Satsuma Kingdom, so why should a few thousand people fight against the Satsuma Kingdom and the Japanese Invaders, it is a good policy to send reinforcements from the Guangdong Naval Division." Liu Jian bowed.

The naval army deployed by the imperial court along the coast of Guangdong, with more than 10,000 people, could not stop the invasion of the Japanese invaders.

Yan Chengjin shook his head: "It's better to wait for Wang Shouren's news." ”

He had already left preparations for Wang Shouren to deal with all unexpected situations, and he was seventy percent sure that he would not be defeated.
