"Why does the Lord of Jincheng know about this official?" Yan Chengjin asked.

Cheng Minzheng sighed: "Han Simen is the teacher of the Great Monarch. ”

Yan Chengjin didn't see the prince of Jincheng, because he didn't want to give the officials of the six ministries a chance to impeach.

Last time, letting Cheng Minzheng accept the prince of Jincheng as his protégé violated His Majesty's majesty.

Now is the time for promotion, and if you take the liberty of meeting it, it is very likely that you will be tongue-in-cheek.

Cheng Minzheng muttered: "Uncle Shi didn't think you would see it, so he didn't agree." ”

The king of Jincheng in the history books is extremely cowardly and easy to be controlled by ministers.

Cheng Minzheng became his teacher, and it is very likely that he will regent North Korea in the future.

Although he didn't know why Li Yi came to Liangxiang, Yan Chengjin guessed that it was not his own idea.

In Liangxiang, after seeing many novelties, Li Yi understood what Han Simen said.

Liangxiang has a lot of outstanding technology.

The Jurchens and Tatars acquired the technology of forging and weaving by capturing the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty.

But North Korea is a tributary state of the Ming Dynasty, and it can't do such a lack of virtue.

According to Han Simen, the person who spread this technology is most likely Yan Chengjin.

wanted to see Yan Chengjin, but this person didn't see him, and he was secretly anxious.

I waited for a few days in Honglu Temple, and waited for the opportunity to face the saint.

morning

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Li Yi in the main hall, this is the king of Joseon, a few years younger than when I first ascended the throne.

Thinking of this, I feel a little more good.

Li Yi met with Emperor Hongzhi very politely, and greeted the cabinet and the ministers of the six ministries, and after some greetings, he asked, "I don't know...... Can Lord Yan Chengjin be in the palace? ”

There was silence in the hall.

Emperor Hongzhi's brows moved slightly, and Yan Chengjin's reputation spread to North Korea.

Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and other ministers looked surprised.

Yan Chengjin was obviously in the palace, but he didn't respond, at this time, he must have speculated like this again.

"This king, what do you want to see Yan Chengjin for?"

A voice came from nowhere, echoing through the hall.

There was a cautious air in the voice, but it was extremely familiar.

The beard on the corner of Emperor Hongzhi's mouth twitched, turning a blind eye, maybe Yan Qing's family had a deep meaning.

Cheng Minzheng's heart moved, the disciple is smart, in front of His Majesty in the court, Yan Chengjin must not shirk it.

Because of etiquette, you always have to see each other.

However, to his surprise.

Yan Chengjin is still missing.

Li Yi said respectfully: "There is something I want to ask." ”

"This is the court, only to discuss court affairs, the monarch has something to ask, and please ask for advice after the next court."

Yan Chengjin's calm voice echoed in the hall.

Although they haven't met, they have already guessed the purpose of the Lord of Jincheng.

Han Simen failed to take "Song Tiangong" away, and he must have let the prince of Jincheng find it, and as soon as he pulled out his cuffs, the book could fall into North Korea.

Cheng Minzheng bought a two-in, two-out house in Liangxiang.

It's not a mansion compound, but it's close to the Castle Peak Library.

Standing in the courtyard and looking up, you can see the large plaque of the Aoyama Library, and his face is happy and extremely satisfied.

Li Yi must go to the Qingshan Library every day to recite the Song Heavenly Works.

Books can't be taken away, but they can be borrowed.

As long as you memorize it fast enough, you can memorize all the Song Tiangong and bring it back to North Korea before returning to North Korea.

…………

The new loom of Liangxiang has been made.

Yan Chengjin formulated two plans, one was collective production, where the displaced people went to work in the workshop and counted the money for the displaced people according to the working hours.

One is to sell looms and raw silk to the homeless people and ordinary people, buy them home, weave the silk brocade, and then sell them to the workshops.

This is one of the few opportunities for displaced people.

The homeless people in the straw hut have some savings after more than a year of accumulation.

Liang Zhong relied on selling baked cakes and his daughter-in-law to work in the eiderdown factory, and the whole family saved more than 50 taels of silver.

Enough to buy a loom and dozens of horses of raw silk.

I heard that the price of silk in Jiangnan had plummeted, and they all maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

Liang Zhong reluctantly bought a loom and ten horses of raw silk, and inquired about the rise and fall of silk prices in Jiangnan every day.

He dared to buy a loom because he believed that the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce would collect silk as promised.

The more you weave, the more silver you make.

It is more profitable than working long hours in the workshop.

But after waiting for a few days, I heard that the silk in Jiangnan had fallen even more.

Now Wang Busui was also in a hurry, and the loom and raw silk were almost bought with his silver.

If you lose it all, what's the point?

The silver obtained from Lao Wang's bookstore in the capital camp was all lost.

"Lao Gao, will the price of silk in Jiangnan really rise?" Zhu Houzhao asked with a serious face.

Yan Chengjin said calmly: "Of course it will rise, the minister bought tens of thousands of raw silk." ”

"When will it go up? How much does it go up? ”

"When Liu Jin brings the big ship back, the price of silk will rise." Yan Chengjin was puzzled: "Why is Your Highness asking this?" ”

"This palace wants to take shares!"

Zhu Houzhao carefully took out a hundred taels of silver.

Yan Chengjin glanced at him, with the strength of Zhu Houzhao's small treasury, there were at least two thousand taels of silver.

"Your Highness doesn't believe in the minister? A mere 100 taels is not allowed to be shared. ”

Zhu Houzhao sneered: "This palace has already asked Zhang Xian, one or two silver per share, this palace can buy 10,000 shares, you still want to deceive this palace!" ”

knew that Lao Gao, the dog official, would fool, and he made a lot of preparations in advance.

Yan Chengjin ordered someone to bring the contract: "If Your Highness wants to buy it, you can only buy it from the hands of the ministers, and others have no right to sell the equity."

Two thousand taels of silver, let His Highness take shares. ”

Zhu Houzhao hesitated: "Can you guarantee that the price of silk will definitely rise?" ”

Yan Chengjin thought for a while and said: "The price of silk will definitely rise, Your Highness will wait and see it, if you lose the silver, the minister will return it to you." ”

Zhu Houzhao was happy.

If you earn money, you can get silver, and if you lose money, you can get back the capital, so you went back to the East Palace and handed over more than 2,000 taels of silver, all of which were handed over to Yan Chengjin.

……

In the DPRK and China, many officials were concerned about the price of silk and tea.

In particular, after collecting the merchant tax on the basis of silver, the price has a great impact on the tax revenue.

Originally, thirty and one tax, the goods were collected as tax silver.

But it was changed to silver, and the sale of a piece of silk for seven taels became two taels, and the tax silver also changed from seven taels to two taels.

And after the price fell, there were very few people in Jiangnan who went to business, and the silver received by Yuguan became less.

Emperor Hongzhi used to only care about the grain harvest, but now that he has a large part of the income from commercial taxes, he gradually attaches importance to the economy.

He looked at Han Wen and said, "What is the price of silk and raw silk?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it still hasn't risen." Han Wendao.

"Ministry of War, is there any news from Songjiang Mansion?" Emperor Hongji asked.

Qin Hong shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, and Yan Chengjin said that Liu Jin would recapture the big ship, and the price of silk would rise.

I don't believe it completely, but I believe it a little.

Wang Shouren is really hateful, and he didn't send a single piece back to Beijing for more than half a month.

Twelve days later, the official road outside the capital.

Wang Shouren, Liu Jin and Zuo Zongyi rode their horses and soon arrived in the capital.

In Songjiang Mansion, Wang Shouren reorganized the military tun, taught the mind, and was very busy, and when he saw Liu Jin coming back, he returned to Beijing together to resume his life, so he stopped writing sparse music.

"Lord Wang will go back this time, but I'm afraid that I will be promoted again." Liu Jin said enviously.

Wang Shouren said: "It is a great achievement for Gonggong Liu to recapture the three big ships, and His Majesty will also reward them." ”

Liu Jin had a sad face: "We just want to survive by Lord Yan's side." ”

Wang Shouren sighed and said, "This official will talk to the old brother for you." ”
