Yan Chengjin guessed that King Ning wanted the shuttle of Liangxiang.

The new shuttle loom is still closed in Liangxiang, and Wang Busui is the same as Xie Yu's father.

If King Ning was doing overseas business, with this kind of loom, he would be able to eat most of the silk business in Jiangnan alone.

There are many silver mines overseas, and for the merchants, the value of silver is not as valuable as the silver of the Ming Dynasty.

They need silk even more.

Although the price of silk has risen, the price of silk overseas is far more than ten times or even hundreds of times higher than that of silk in the DPRK.

King Ning recruited troops and horses, and needed a lot of silver.

"No, in the future, Liangxiang will not do business with this person."

Wang Busui was puzzled in his heart, but he immediately smiled.

When the silk is sold, he will be able to make a fortune.

After hearing that the price of silk had risen, the gentry in the chamber of commerce had their thighs smashed.

Especially that Xie Yu, who washed his face with tears every day, hated to jump into the river in front of the gate of Liangxiang and died cleanly.

"Eh, who would have thought that the price of silk would rise......"

……

Kunning Palace,

Empress Zhang's face was sad, looking at her two brothers kneeling on the ground, shouting that someone had cheated the money.

When Zhang Heling and his brothers returned home, they heard that the price of silk was still rising, and the price of raw silk had risen to three taels of silver.

When they sold it to Yan Chengjin, it was less than half a tael!

The brothers cried bitterly at home for a while, and decided to go into the palace to find Empress Zhang, and begged the queen to give an order to bring the raw silk back.

Empress Zhang frowned: "The palace said that the two of you are not allowed to come to the harem if there is nothing to do." ”

Zhang Heling wiped away her tears and said, "Niangniang, someone has cheated our silver." ”

"Yes, either send back the raw silk, or make up for the lack of silver." Zhang Yanling calculated, Yan Chengjin had to make up for them at least 120,000 taels.

"Who dares to cheat you of your money?"

"Yan Chengjin! He was so bad, he knew that the price of silk would rise, and he deliberately came to buy our raw silk, and now that the price of silk has risen, the silver he earned should be ours...... Empress...... He's pitting our silver......" Zhang Heling cried.

When Yan Chengjin bought raw silk, Zhang Yanling laughed at him for being a fool.

Who would have thought that the price of silk has not only risen, but also risen even higher.

Empress Zhang listened to the two brothers crying, her face was displeased, and said: "Although I am in the harem, I have also heard of Yan Chengjin's official voice, and you two should not slander!" ”

"Mother...... Mother...... But he really bought our raw silk! Zhang Yanling was so bitter that he wanted to live and die, and his dearest sister didn't believe him anymore......

Outside Kunning Palace,

Zhu Houzhao came to ask for peace, and he heard the cries of the two uncles from afar.

was about to go back to the East Palace, trying to be quiet.

But when he heard Lao Gao's name, he looked at Liu Jin uncertainly: "He just called Lao Gao?" ”

Liu Jin smiled: "Yes, Lord Yan's name, you can't be wrong!" ”

Zhu Houzhao thought about it, put his hands on his back, and walked into the hall with a big bang.

When the Zhang brothers heard that someone was coming, they looked back and found that it was Zhu Houzhao, the little ancestor, and turned around and continued to cry.

Zhu Houzhao said respectfully: "Erchen Houzhao, I have seen the queen mother." ”

When Empress Zhang saw him, she showed a smile: "Don't study in Zhan Shifu, what are you doing here in this palace." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "When you hear their cries, come in, are you talking about Lao Gao?" ”

"He pit his uncle's silver......" Zhang Yanling found that the queen's face was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "He pit the silver of the two of us." ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I heard in this palace that Lao Gao spent half a tael of silver to buy all your raw silk and spent silver on the business, how can it be called a pit?"

The two of you have come here again to deceive your mother. ”

Dog stuff, elbows outward.

Zhang Heling secretly scolded Zhu Houzhao for not being a thing, and actually helped outsiders deal with his uncle.

Empress Zhang shouted: "Get out of the palace!" ”

The Zhang brothers stopped crying, and helped each other to stand up, pretending to stumble a few steps and were about to fall.

But Queen Zhang never took a second look.

Canopy Palace,

Xiao Jing dismissed all the slaves and maids, and in the empty hall, only Emperor Hongzhi and Han Wen were left.

Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Is the investigation clear?" ”

Han Wen bowed slightly: "Back to Your Majesty, the investigation is clear, after Wang Shouren returned to Beijing, a private merchant went to sea by boat to sell silk to Ryukyu and even further afield."

Therefore, the price of silk will rise. ”

It turned out that someone bought raw silk on a large scale and sold it overseas.

But how can Yan Chengjin be sure that the price of silk will rise?

Emperor Hongji thought it was strange.

"In other words, if the Silk Road is opened, and the traders openly buy and sell silk, the price of silk will rise again?"

Han Wen nodded and said: "It will rise again, as far as the minister knows, the price of silk collected by Fanshang is extremely high."

Ordinary silk is already expensive when sold for ten taels, and they collect twenty taels or even fifty taels.

It seems like...... There is an endless amount of silver. ”

After Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he had been bothered with the nine sides and had no time to take care of the economy.

Now that the Nine Sides are settled, he has a lot of leisure and can find time to study and research.

When I heard the report in Hangul, I couldn't help but be shocked.

Early in the morning, at noon,

When Liu Jin saw Yan Chengjin, he hurriedly came up and said, "The slave has seen Lord Yan,

There are a few things I want to tell adults, Yang Yiqing, who impeached adults, is Li Mengyang's mentor.

Yesterday in Kunning Palace, the two lords of the Zhang family complained to Niangniang, saying that the adults bought their raw silk and pit the silver. ”

Yan Chengjin said: "Good job, add one day to the observation period." ”

Liu Jin was so moved that he cried bitterly, thanked him again and again, and almost knelt down for him.

Yan Chengjin knew in his heart that Yang Yiqing turned out to be Li Mengyang's teacher.

In the early dynasty, hundreds of officials walked into the main hall and just stood still.

Emperor Hongzhi shocked everyone when he opened his mouth.

"I am determined to reopen the Silk Road!"

The hall fell silent.

Li Dongyang looked up in amazement and saw that Emperor Hongzhi's face remained unchanged.

Liu Jian opened his mouth slightly, His Majesty's eyes were firm, at this time, it was useless to shout about the ancestral system again.

Han Wen was not surprised, when he came out of the Huagai Hall yesterday, he knew that His Majesty had made up his mind.

Yan Chengjin was a little square, and he was caught off guard by Emperor Hongzhi's sentence.

Your Majesty figured it out so quickly?

He also prepared a pre-statistical table of the annual income after the opening of the imperial court.

After a few days, it will be presented to His Majesty, who knows that it will be all in vain......

Emperor Hongzhi's face did not change: "How many post stations and banknotes should be newly built, the military department will order people to count, and the household department will allocate silver."

I want to be like the Han and Tang dynasties, and the merchants stretch for ten miles. ”

Qin Hong was slightly shocked in his heart, and looked at Han Wen next to him.

I saw that Han Wen nodded at him.

"Obey the order!"

The two of them said in unison.

Liu Jian stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there are many bandits entrenched in the northwest, and opening the Silk Road at this time is tantamount to sending sheep into the household registration." ”

Emperor Hongzhi had already thought about it: "Then add a sub-patrol road and a military preparation road." ”

"Your Majesty, when the new post station and money pass are repaired, it is better to send someone to exterminate the bandits first." Yan Chengjin's voice sounded in the hall.

Ma Wensheng nodded his head: "If Your Majesty insists on opening the Silk Road, it is a way to clear the official road first." ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Qin Hong: "Can someone recommend the military department?" ”

"The minister has a recommendation."

As soon as Yan Chengjin's words fell, Qin Hong snorted coldly: "You want to recommend Wang Shouren again!" ”

"This time, the minister recommended Yang Yiqing!"

As soon as the ministers heard this, they understood what was going on.

Yang Yiqing had just finished impeaching this son, and sure enough, he ended up with the same fate as Li Mengyang.

This is revenge.

I heard that Yang Yiqing wanted to be transferred back to the capital and ran around the capital.

Now, I'm afraid it's a long way off.

The northwest is vast, and the bandits will never be finished.

Li Dongyang frowned and said hurriedly: "Yang Yiqing knows very little about Ma Zheng, I'm afraid he can't do it." ”

"Lord Yang has been in Shaanxi for a year, and he has been on guard against horse bandits stealing horses all year round, and he is indispensable to deal with horse bandits, who dares to say that he is more familiar with the grasslands in the northwest than him?

If Your Majesty is not at ease, you may wish to send Lord Zuo to go with you. ”

Yan Chengjin remembered that Zuo Zongyi had reported him for building a big boat, and he had it in his small book.

This time, Qin Hong didn't refute it, the person he wanted to send was Zuo Zongyi.

However, Yang Yiqing seems to be reasonable.
