Wu Mengming crackled and said for a while, this dignified commander of the Ming Jinyi Guard has long been out of business, and he is full of thoughts about how to make money with Chang Yu every day, but fortunately, he is such a person.

Chang Yu finally had his fill, chatted with Song Siyang with tea, and asked him Ming'er to go directly to the household department with the account book to settle the money.

Song Siyang, a local snake, never expected that there would be such a day, all the people who came and went were members of the imperial court, and the eunuchs who were attached to the East Factory were really good at enjoying the cold.

Is the silver of the imperial court easy to settle?

The answer is very difficult, mainly because the court is poor, the treasury is empty, and every day when I open my eyes, all of them are reaching out for silver, military salaries, salaries, and disaster relief funds...... And so on, it can be said that the officials of the household department and the military department are the most bitter among the six departments.

However, with the background of Dongchang and the nod of Emperor Chongzhen, it is impossible for the household department to push back, not to mention that the current household department Shangshu Ni Yuanlu is a die-hard fan of Emperor Chongzhen.

Is the silver of the court easy to earn?

Of course, it is easy to earn, otherwise all enterprises throughout the ages want to take government contracts, in addition to honor, there are various subsidies and benefits, Song Siyang roughly calculated, only this grain outside the customs, throwing away the labor cost, there are almost 5,000 taels of silver to earn.

Wu Mengming was overjoyed when he heard this, although five thousand taels of silver is not worth mentioning, but this is just a deal, the first order that has just begun, just imagine, the Ming military food is purchased by Octopus......

I can't sleep when I think about it.

"This governor is more concerned, how much money can be left for the imperial court from this trip?" Chang Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

Song Siyang clapped his hands, and the two account rooms came in cautiously with the account books, and the abacus in his hands crackled and muttered a few times in Song Siyang's ear, and then withdrew.

"At least thirteen thousand taels!" Song Siyang said.

The corners of Chang Yu's mouth rose, this is still the cost of only purchasing grain, if it is considered manpower and material resources, then the price that the court has to pay is even more!

Half an hour later, Chang Yu left, and Song Siyang and Wu Mengming were sent to the street entrance.

"How's it going to the south?" In the car, Chang Yu squinted against the window and asked Chunxiang, the matter is confidential to the East Factory, of course, we have to talk privately.

"Gao Wencai has gone south, according to your instructions, arrange along the way!"

Chang Yu nodded: "I want to make Dongchang eyeliner all over the territory of Daming within half a year!" If there is no support, adjust the brocade clothes and guard manpower".

Chunxiang nodded, and suddenly smiled: "Wu Mengming's mind is full of silver, and in Jinyiwei is the vegetarian corpse you said."

"Isn't this good" Chang Yu smiled: "It's better than letting the emperor readjust a cold-faced guy to stare at us."

"That's right, but Wu Mengming's two-faced and three-faced goods are not a good thing," Chunxiang said again.

"Don't worry, he's just an ornament now, and we're a grasshopper on his body, he doesn't dare to say anything when he stares at it, but will help cover it."

The car stopped in front of Daming Gate, and Lao Hu asked, "Do you want to go back to the palace or to the Yamen?" ”

Chang Yu opened the curtain and looked at the bright moon in the night sky, which was particularly bright, and a group of people came to the south, who were the officers and soldiers on duty at Zhengyangmen.

Before nearly twenty steps, he was stopped: "Dongchang's".

The officers and men made a move, turned their heads and left, walking faster and faster, and muttered in a low voice, this point, this battle, nine times out of ten, he is the big boss of the East Factory.

Chang Yu got out of the car and walked to the corner to pick up his clothes......

Left and right immediately turned around and didn't dare to look, Wei Chunxiang stood side by side, and the wall was built together.

"Is that matter in Zhongguan Village done?" Chang Yu shook the bird and walked towards the car.

Chunxiang rubbed his hands on his body and hurried to catch up: "After the decree is obtained, the craftsman has been ordered to operate overnight, and it will be in time for tomorrow."

Chang Yu nodded, got into the car, and said to Lao Hu: "Go to Guangqumen"

Guangqu Gate is the outer city, its own Dongchang Fanzi called open the Zhengyang Gate City Gate, everyone crowds the carriage out of the city to the east slowly, a wall between the two worlds.

It was late at night, the inner city was quiet, and only a few wine shops and flower buildings close to the city gates were still noisy, but the big fence outside the front gate was the noise of the whole street!

This is the red light district of the capital, and the nightlife has just begun.

Sure enough, the eyes of Jiang Fa and Chen Suole were straight again, and they saw that on both sides of the street, the sound of silk and bamboo in the teahouse theater was endless, and the sound of warblers and swallows came from time to time in the flower building, which was really itchy.

Chalou, one of the four major theaters of the Qing Dynasty, the predecessor of Guanghe Building, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was just an ordinary teahouse and theater, and then due to improper business, it was put down by a wealthy gentleman, and after some decoration, it was renamed Dajing!

This breath is big, the famous buildings in the capital are gathered, and the famous corners are gathered, who is so big.

Dajing City began to do publicity from the time of decoration, the reason why it is called Dajingcheng is because it gathers almost all the entertainment projects in the capital, but everything you want to play here can have fun, want to listen to music, have, want to drink tea, have, want to gamble money, want to piao, roll, here is not a meat business, but there are fresh things, boxing matches.

At first glance, it sounds like a novelty, but it's actually the ring, but it's not the kind of ring they imagined, everyone has a club, anyone can train a few fighters to fight, the rewards are rich, and they accept unlimited bets.

It's such a cruel and exciting thing...... The curiosity of the capital from the nobles to the pawns was aroused, and a record was set on the opening day, but anyone who could go in and take a look felt that they had a lot of face......

At this time, the outside of the Dajing City Club was still overcrowded, and many people who did not enter the stadium were waiting on the streets outside, asking from time to time who lost and who won the game inside......

"Big brother, do you want to go in and have a look" When the car passed by, Chunxiang asked, Chang Yu shook his head and glanced at the car window: "Who cares here?" ”

"Behind the scenes is the East Palace, and the people who came forward, Xinle Hou Liu Wenbing and Xuancheng Bowei Shichun."

Chang Yu was surprised, he proposed Zhu Cihong to prepare for the Dajing City Club, he was too busy with official affairs to intervene deeply, and he also knew that Zhu Cihong would not come forward as a prince and would find someone to hold it on his behalf, but he didn't expect that it was these two nobles.

It seems that Zhu Cihong really trusts himself 100%, because Chang Yu once told him that in that dream, after the Ming Dynasty died and Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide, these two nobles and nobles were exhausted.

Xinle Hou Changyu has not seen it, and Xuancheng Bo Changyu has not seen it either, but the two sons have seen it and were almost beaten by him.

These two people are loyal to the old Zhu family, and Zhu Cihong is not only high-grade but also reassuring to use the two of them as a table, and at the same time can attract more nobles to enter the set.

"Big brother, is the prince not worried about our East Factory, this matter should be left to you to do!" Chunxiang tilted his head and was a little unbalanced, the boxing match was created by Chang Yu, and the idea was also what he thought, how could he turn his face and skim it out.

Chang Yu laughed: "Our Dongchang is a dog meat can't be on the big table, think about it, if this big capital is opened by Dongchang, ordinary people don't dare to come to play, the nobles don't want to come, if those civil officials know, they can scold our Dongchang to death, and even the emperor is implicated."

But it's the same for the two nobles to join forces to open a store, which is reasonable and legal, and the signboard is bright and well-connected, so that the financial resources can be extensive.

"The emperor wants to make money, the prince is also making money, even Wu Mengming is getting into the cracks in the silver day by day, big brother, is our East Factory also going to make money" Chunxiang sighed, and then said in a low voice: "Isn't our East Factory bad money?" ”

Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "The old man is short of money, our Dongchang is the poorest now, the emperor asked me to supervise the Dongchang, gave me power but also gave me the burden, and I have to raise hundreds of mouths in the Dongchang." And although the four battalions under my command are under the name of Jingying, they still have to be raised in Dongchang, Chunxiang, and my brother is not willing to drink cold water now! ”

"Then we have to think of ways to make money" Chunxiang was also anxious when he heard that Chang Yu wanted to raise so many people: "Wei Zhongxian made a lot of money when he sat in the East Factory, and you can't fall into the prestige."

"Wei Zhongxian's money is too dirty, we can't learn from him" Chang Yu shook his head: "The most hated thing for corruption and bribery."

"But we are here to do the dirty work for the emperor," Chunxiang sighed.

"You can do dirty work, your body can be dirty, and your heart is clean." Chang Yu also sighed, clean people can't live these days, clean trading doesn't make money, and he doesn't know that he fakes tall bird eggs.

"Let's all wait to starve to death," Chunxiang rolled his eyes.

Chang Yu laughed, and suddenly said, "Chunxiang, do you know Luo Yang's sex?" ”

"I know, Wu Mengming's previous commander of the Jinyi Guard, his father Luo Sigong is also the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is very favored by the emperor.

Okay, Chang Yu praised, Chunxiang was originally a little eunuch in the inner court, but he has only been well-read and remembered in just a few months, and he has a wider range of experience in the East Factory.

"Then do you know why he went down?"

Chunxiang frowned slightly: "I heard that it was serious corruption and was deposed by the emperor."

Chang Yu smiled obscenely: "Oh, the corruption is serious" In his memory, Li Zicheng tortured 30,000 taels from Luo Yangxing after entering Beijing!

Chunxiang also smiled, and became even more obscene: "Big brother, the work we do in the East Factory is really unacceptable, tsk, is this black and black?" ”

"P's black eats black, anti-corruption and corruption investigation is a matter within our East Factory, I think it is necessary to brush up some court officials" Chang Yu said righteously.
