Chapter 221: Life Completely Changed

Good Township, Gu Family,

After Gu Jinxian read the newspaper, he felt a little incredible, he actually wanted to build a shipyard in a poor rural place like Liangxiang?

It is still a joint venture between business and gang.

The ships of the shipyard have always been jointly undertaken by the imperial court and the community, and it was stipulated in the Chenghua period that the shipbuilding needed to be built with nanmu, and the timber alone had to be transported from the south, as well as tung oil, palm hair, reed mats and other things......

The gentry of Liangxiang are not enough to build a few ships.

"Who, exactly, proposed it?" Gu Jinxian was puzzled.

The young scholar on the side said, "Dad, I heard that it's Lord Yan." ”

"Which Lord Yan?"

"The child doesn't know, but I heard from the official that his name is Lord Yan, and this lord is a genius...... The collection of books in the Liangxiang Library was opened to readers all over the world because of his advice to His Majesty. ”

Gu Yu admired Yan Chengjin very much, and it was he who advised Emperor Hongzhi that he got the opportunity to read the book.

It's just that the officials know very little, and only hear that his name is Lord Yan.

He is going to take the township test next year, and the library has brought great benefits.

The library is not only rich in books, but also includes all major Confucian scholars, and more importantly, there are many young talents gathered there.

Some Confucian scholars also rushed to the library when they heard the news, so he was able to ask for advice.

"Master, please go to the yamen."

Downwind tooth line,

Someone just sent a small note, the small note did not appear for a long time, Xie Yu hurriedly closed the door and took a look: angel investment project, Liangxiang Shipyard.

Xie Yu was a little confused, he had read the newspaper and the notice, and opening a shipyard was not a joke.

The Qingjiang shipyard in northern Jiangsu has to be raised by the state treasury.

The gentry of Liangxiang are not ranked in the entire Ming Dynasty, can they get so much silver?

"The owner, the people from the Yamen invite you to go."

Xie Yu came to the yamen in a daze, Lord Zhang sat on the high hall, there were no officials holding honor guards, and the seats on both sides were lined up, and there were many gentry sitting.

"Xie Dongjia, you come here to sit." Zhang Xian pointed to the seat next to him.

After a long time, that position was actually for the tooth to sit? Hu Gong and other gentry were a little displeased.

Xie Yu is a careful person, and when he noticed the gentry's unkind eyes, he resigned repeatedly.

"The official asked you to sit on the toilet!" Zhang Xian let out a low snort.

Xie Yu didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly sat down.

"You have all read the newspaper, Liangxiang wants to open a shipyard, and anyone who invests in the construction can hold shares in the shipyard, and it will be included in the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce, recorded in the roster, you can decide for yourself, it is difficult for the official to be strong." Zhang Xian glanced at everyone.

The crowd fell silent.

Hu Gong was the first to stand up and said with a smile: "My lord, my Hu family is not interested in the Chamber of Commerce, and I don't want to build ships, so the fifty taels of silver should be donated to the yamen and take my leave." ”

"Master Zhang, twenty taels of silver, not a tribute."

"Thanks to Lord Zhang's care, one hundred taels of silver, and I have no interest in joining the Chamber of Commerce."

Most of the gentry stood up and left their seats.

Yan Chengjin sat in the back hall, but felt very happy, and said to He Neng: "Let Zhang Xian ask them to write a deed, and they will never be allowed to join the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce." ”

These people joining the merchants of Liangxiang are also moths.

He Neng hurriedly ran out and whispered a few words in Zhang Xian's ear.

Zhang Xian shouted: "Slow! Sign the deed and sign it before leaving. ”

When Hu Gong looked at the deed, he was happy, and after pressing his handprint on it, he strode out of the yamen.

There were less than ten gentry and merchants left in the hall.

"In the future, you will be members of the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce, and the president of the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce will be served by Xie Dongjia."

Xie Yu looked confused.

"This ...... Mr. Zhang, is the president of the Chamber of Commerce too arbitrary? Gu Jinxian said nervously: "You should choose a person with outstanding financial resources to take the position." ”

Zhang Xian said indifferently: "To open the Liangxiang Shipyard, Xie Dong's family will pay 150,000 taels of silver!" ”

Hiss!

Gu Jinxian and the others gasped.

Xie Yu's head buzzed, his mouth foamed, his stomach tumbled, and he fell from his seat.

Hands and feet twitching for a long time......

Adult, when will I ...... said that if you invest 150,000 taels of silver, I won't be worth so much money if I sell it!

Gu Jinxian and others were convinced, in a poor county like Liangxiang, if they took out 10,000 taels of silver, they were already a gentry.

"Xie Dongjia took out 150,000 taels in one go, and this will be none other than Xie Dongjia." Gu Jinxian said sincerely.

Zhang Xian had already prepared the roster of the Chamber of Commerce.

The group signed the roster of the Chamber of Commerce and left one by one.

Xie Yu also sat on the chair with a dead face, "Adults, put the little ones in prison, the villains really can't take out so much silver." ”

"Someone has come out of this 150,000 taels of silver, but I want you to serve as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the shares are counted as your share."

Xie Yu's eyes gradually regained their brightness.

Since being targeted by angel investors, his life has completely changed......

He is just a small trader in the south of the Yangtze River, who earns more than 100 taels of silver a year by working hard, crawling through the dangerous mountains of Guizhou, sleeping on the streets, and eating leftovers.

has experienced countless ups and downs in his life, how could he have thought of such an opportunity.

"What are you talking about...... It's true? ”

"Of course it's true, in the future, you will be the president of the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce, and as an official of the imperial court, it is inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and you will have to rely on the Xie Dongjia in the future."

150,000 taels of silver?

When Xie Yu came out of the yamen, he was still stunned.

When he walked to the street, he pulled a random passer-by, patted his face and said, "You slap me!" ”

“???” Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was elated, his backhand was a slap, and he asked happily: "Is one enough?" ”

Xie Yu covered half of his red and swollen face, almost not crying.

He's stunned, you...... You are dead!

But he soon laughed again, today's incident turned out to be true, he really became the president of the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce, and he also held shares in the shipyard, "Hahaha, thank you, Your Excellency!" ”

When he met a fool, Zhu Houzhao thought it was interesting and was about to go to the library to fight poetry, but in the small courtyard next to the yamen, he saw Lin Song.

"Lao Gao has come to a good country?"

"Back to Your Highness, the young master is in the yamen."

Why didn't Hongu see his palanquin? ”

"Your Highness, the young master has changed the carriage."

The matter of the Chamber of Commerce is settled, and the silver can be decided.

Yan Chengjin did not choose Wang Busui as the president, because Xie Yu is more suitable, this person travels from south to north, is good at arithmetic, and has some knowledge, so he can stabilize the Chamber of Commerce.

He didn't want to get much silver from the good squire.

"My lord, most of the land in the shipyard is Hu Gong's, he doesn't sell it, and the lower officials can't get the title deed, so I'm afraid that the shipyard will have to be moved."

"Within two days, we will get this land."

Yan Chengjin saw Zhu Houzhao swaggering in, and said, "Why did Your Highness come to Liangxiang?" ”

"Come to fight poetry, except for fighting poetry, there is nothing fun to do, this palace lost a game yesterday, and today I came to find face!"

"Oh? Lost to whom? ”

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Yang Shen! ”

It turned out to be him, Zhu Houzhao shouldn't know that Yang Shen is Yang Tinghe's son, speaking of which, Yang Tinghe moved to the capital, and Yang Shen also came to the capital with his father.

Yang Shen is more famous than Yang Tinghe, Tang Bohu is known as the four great talents of Jiangnan, and Yang Shen is known as the head of the three generations of talents in the Ming Dynasty!

It can be seen that Yang Shen's talent is high.

"The minister has a song, and he will definitely win Yang Shen!"
