Chapter 259: The Joy of Housewarming

The Metropolitan Inspectorate is on duty.

Yan Chengjin saw Shi Lin, who was the one who ordered Emperor Hongzhi to supervise military affairs.

Shi Lin returned to the capital in order to wait for the Duke of Baoguo to go north and go to Yansui together.

Since he came to the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the office relationship has become delicate.

"Xiao Zhao, do you want broad beans?"

"Xiao Zhang, the tea is cold, change a cup and drink it again, it's good for the spleen and stomach."

"Xiaojin, your wolfberry is big and round, can you give this official a cup of tea?"

Yan Chengjin was wary in his heart, this person had only been here for one day, and he was familiar with the people in the room, and he was also a talent.

"Xiaguan has a thing, it's better than this, it's white, it's a little fishy, it tastes very good, it's very nutritious, do you want to try it?" Yan Chengjin took out something from under the table.

It's a water bladder, and it's still warm.

Pour out a cup from the water bladder, white goat's milk, the milk fragrance wafted in, not as fishy as Yan Chengjin said.

Shi Lin tasted it, and said continuously: "It's delicious, Cheng Jin, the official asked you about something, where did Fang Xue go?" ”

Yan Chengjin's heart moved, could it be that Shi Lin had something to do with the Red Salt Pool?

Two possibilities suddenly appeared in my heart, one was that Shi Lin was entrusted by someone to come to investigate. One is that he has something to do with it.

"I don't know if I'm going to be off, maybe, I'm taking a leave."

Seven days later, Zhu Hui rushed to the capital and went to Yansui with Shi Lin.

The war with the Tatars was about to begin.

The northwest was in turmoil, but the good township was quite peaceful and prosperous.

Mayday, hot and muggy,

There are few pedestrians on the official road in Liangxiang, but there are many boats coming and going in the waterway.

Nowadays, not only merchants from the south of the Yangtze River have come, but also merchants from the coast of Guangdong, who are very interested in the goods of Liangxiang.

"Although there are many merchants who come to Liangxiang, the homeless people are still very poor, and the money does not fall into their hands, but they can make a living thanks to the blessings of these merchants." Zhang Xiandao.

Yan Chengjin nodded and said, "It's good that you can see this, don't let the polarization be too serious." ”

"My lord, what is polarization?" Zhang Xian was puzzled.

"That's it...... Don't let all the money go into the pockets of the gentry, for if the outcasts want to buy and sell, let them do it. ”

Some homeless people work as merchants, carrying goods from good towns to other places to sell.

The homeless people who dare to exchange their hard-earned silver for goods to sell are in the very few, and most of them feel that it is risky, and it is more practical to work as a laborer in a workshop or dock.

"My lord, there is a merchant from Yungui who said that he wants to sell Nanmu, and asked the shipyard if he wants it?" Xie Yu walked over and asked Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian looked at Yan Chengjin again, and Yan Chengjin was silent.

"You can negotiate the price yourself."

"Great!" Xie Yu left happily.

Joined the Chamber of Commerce in Liangxiang, which belonged to the shipyard, and he also earned a lot of silver.

Zhang Xianlu asked timidly: "My lord, do you like this...... Right? ”

"Liangxiang is the righteous bird of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally he wants to do business with the world's businessmen, there is nothing wrong with it."

Yan Chengjin bought a mansion in Xicheng District of the capital, which is far away from the old mansion, and the advantage is that next door is Lao Wang's mansion.

The silver sent by Liangxiang can't hold it when digging a hole in the ground.

You can't open a vault outside.

In order to hide people's eyes, simply buy a mansion and put silver.

Cunning rabbit three holes, he occasionally plans to come and live.

Jin Yiwei recognizes people and does not recognize the door, he comes to live here, and Jin Yiwei will naturally follow.

Staying here, it's still safe.

"Young master, the title deed of this mansion is in the name of the lord, it is two acres of land, and there are sixteen wings......"

Wang Busui said at 1510.

Yan Chengjin pointed to a pond and asked, "Why is the water here red?" ”

Wang Busui looked at the pond water, there were a few lotus leaves floating, and the stones in the water showed a little bit of red, as if they were moldy.

"Change! Change it as soon as you get it. ”

Yan Chengjin looked at the bedroom again, pointed to the beam above his head and asked, "This beam is pressing against the bed, how can Young Master Ben be promoted?" ”

"Change, the small one makes people change directions."

Yan Chengjin went to see the warehouse, which was surrounded by huge marble slabs, only the size of a bedroom, and a basement was dug underneath.

It is a three-in, three-out mansion.

There are rockeries, small bridges, pavilions and other iconic landscapes in the south of the Yangtze River, which are smaller than the old houses and are exquisite.

Fengtian Temple,

Emperor Hongzhi was thinking about the war in the northwest, and he was going to open a position to allocate silver again, and the longer it dragged on, the more money he would have to spend.

"Has the household department liquidated the money and grain?"

Han Wen took a step forward: "It's calculated, I'm going to allocate 30,000 stone of military rations and 20,000 taels of silver." ”

I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this money and food for a few days, and I'll have to allocate silver again.

Fighting the Tatars requires flexible marching, carrying too much baggage, which will delay the speed of the march, and there is an advantage in the Hetao area, which is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

I am afraid that the Tatars will plunder all the grain and grass along the way, and they will not be able to buy it when the time comes.

Mu Bin interjected in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Yan Chengjin has moved, and the shipyard in Liangxiang seems to have a large amount of silver income. ”

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed: "Summoning Yan Chengjin into the palace!" ”

Seeing that the cabinet and the ministers of the six ministries were still there, it was not very convenient, so he said again: "If you have nothing to do, please step down." ”

Han Wen and the others looked at each other, His Majesty summoned Yan Chengjin, do you still want to avoid it?

Yan Chengjin heard the summons, rushed all the way to the palace from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and began to calculate in his heart that His Majesty would summon him as soon as he moved, and eighty percent of it was for silver.

In the Fengtian Palace, there was only Emperor Hongzhi, and after he walked into the main hall, Xiao Jing strode over and closed the door with his hand.

makes Yan Chengjin feel like a gangster secretly connecting.

"Ministers Yan Chengjin, see Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I heard, you moved?" ”

"The minister is ashamed that he did not invite His Majesty to celebrate the housewarming." Yan Chengjin estimated that His Majesty knew, so he said: "The shipyard in Liangxiang earned 50,000 taels of silver, and Your Majesty deserves 20,000 taels, and the minister will order someone to send it to the palace in a while." ”

"I don't want to say anything silver, I want to talk about your housewarming." Emperor Hongji was smiling.

"......" Yan Chengjin.

Your Majesty doesn't even want to do frugality for the sake of silver.

On weekdays, the image of Emperor Hongzhi, who is serious in his heart, is much more brilliant.

His Majesty was frugal all his life, and he kept collecting silver for the sake of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, should this silver be filled into the treasury, or into the treasury?"

Filling into the treasury means putting it into His Majesty's small treasury, and filling it into the treasury means handing it over to the household department for arrangement.

"Put it into the treasury." Emperor Hongji didn't care.

Coming out of the palace, Yan Chengjin wrote a letter and asked Jinyiwei to send it to Liangxiang.

The silver from the shipyard was placed in the treasury of the yamen, and Zhang Xian saw that the letter would order someone to allocate the silver.

……

Cheng Minzheng followed Han Simen back to North Korea.

The whole country of Korea was grateful, and His Majesty not only agreed to canonize the King of Jincheng as the monarch, but also sent envoys to come.

The official position is the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and North Korea has never been such a high-ranking Ming official.

Cheng Minzheng looked at Gyeongbokgung Palace, the low houses, scattered but not in order, and the Guangting was not even paved with gold bricks, it was still muddy.

It's simply that even his mansion in Huizhou is inferior to ......

The Lord of Jincheng and the Concubine Cishun treated him with the highest courtesy.

Hearing that the Ming Dynasty was going to build an embassy in Seoul, he didn't feel inappropriate, and arranged a minister's mansion for Cheng Minzheng.

"Sir, is this the place where we will live in the future?" Liang Xiaoyi asked.

"Not bad."

Cheng Minzheng came to the study and prepared to write a letter to Yan Chengjin: Virtuous nephew, the establishment of the embassy is going well, but the ministers have different opinions on the matter of sending troops to build a state, and I am afraid that they will not send troops easily......
