As the governor of Shanxi, Li Xun did not dare to leave the jurisdiction for too long.

Therefore, after getting Zhao Junchen's promise, Li Xun also left Huamachi Camp overnight.

When Li Xun said goodbye and left, it was already three o'clock in the evening of the day, and the sky outside the window was getting dark.

So, Zhao Junchen instructed Xu Qingyan to light the candles in the house, and secretly thought about the affairs of Annanbo's Zheng family.

However, before Zhao Junchen could think for long, the divine doctor Zhang Decheng suddenly broke into the door, and then reprimanded Zhao Junchen fiercely.

Since Zhang Decheng arrived at the Huamachi camp, he threw himself into the wounded barracks of the Huamachi camp, and under his skillful rejuvenation, I don't know how many wounded soldiers were saved their lives.

But Zhang Decheng did not ignore Zhao Junchen's body, and kept staring at Zhao Junchen's situation.

Prior to this, Zhang Decheng had repeatedly told Zhao Junchen to pay attention to rest, and Zhao Junchen also swore to Zhang Decheng that he would never worry about the military and political affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu again.

Who knows, Zhao Junchen forgot his guarantee in a blink of an eye, and he has been working hard day and night in the past few days, either to improve the plan to recover the Hetao with Liang Fuchen, or to meet with the governors and commanders in various places in private, and there is no sign of rest.

Originally, Zhang Decheng saw that Zhao Junchen's hard work was for the important affairs of the court after all, so he kept patient.

But today, Zhang Decheng saw that Zhao Junchen first participated in a two-hour military meeting, and then summoned Fang Zhenshan, He Zhang, Li Xun and others in succession, until the sky was getting dark, there was still no sign of rest, but he couldn't bear it anymore, and directly broke into Zhao Junchen's office room, and reprimanded Zhao Junchen mercilessly.

Under Zhang Decheng's fierce reprimand, Zhao Junchen was naturally a little discouraged, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only promise Zhang Decheng again that he would definitely pay attention to rest!

"Please also rest assured that after Elder Liang Ge arrived at the Huamachi camp, he has taken over all military and political matters! In the past few days, I have met and talked with the governors and commanders of various places in the past few days, and this is the last thing I have done in the Huamachi camp, and I will definitely pay attention to rest from now on, and I will never dare to make Dr. Zhang Shen angry again! ”

Zhao Junchen once again swore a promise.

At the time of the guarantee, Zhao Junchen was a little aggrieved in his heart.

In Zhao Junchen's opinion, compared to his exhaustion and hard work day and night during the battle against the Mongol coalition army, the little work in the past few days is nothing at all, and it can be regarded as rest.

After hearing Zhao Junchen's assurance, Zhang Decheng still didn't believe it in his heart, but said with a threatening tone: "Lord Zhao, even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated and Bian Que is reborn, if the patient does not follow the doctor's instructions, he can only be helpless and watch his condition worsen!" The old man's medical skills are naturally far inferior to the two medical saints, if Lord Zhao still does not listen to the doctor's advice and messes around at will, when the illness comes like a mountain in the future, the old man will definitely be unable to return to the sky, please ask for another master! ”

Picking up Zhang Decheng's threat so heavy, Zhao Junchen's expression became much more serious, and he assured again: "All the matters in Huamachi Camp have been on the right track, and I only need to follow the steps in the future, and my personal affairs have all been dealt with, and I will definitely recuperate from my body in the future, and there will never be any more chaos." ”

These words are not Zhao Junchen's perfunctory, after the situation has developed to this point, all aspects of the Huamachi camp no longer need Zhao Junchen to worry about anything, as long as the next holy decree comes, Zhao Junchen can return to the capital.

After receiving Zhao Junchen's continuous assurance, Zhang Decheng finally nodded with satisfaction, and after diagnosing Zhao Junchen's body again, he left Zhao Junchen's room.

After Zhang Decheng's reprimand, Zhao Junchen really didn't dare to worry about labor anymore, but he obediently went to bed to rest.

*

However, early the next morning, after Zhao Junchen got up, he had just finished breakfast, and received a report from Xu Qingyan, saying that the three giants of the Jinshang Group - Guo Linxiang, Chen Gongxing, and He Zeng were now waiting for their reception.

After hearing the report, Zhao Junchen's first reaction was to ask, "Does Doctor Zhang know about this?" ”

Seeing Zhao Junchen's nervous appearance, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but feel a little funny, and said: "Doctor Zhang rushed to the wounded barracks early in the morning, so naturally he didn't know about it, but if the young master, if you talk with these three Jin merchants for too long, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide it from Doctor Zhang...... Young Master, you also know the prestige of Doctor Zhang, he is now like a living bodhisattva in the eyes of the soldiers, as long as he asks, I am afraid that no soldier is willing to hide the news from him. ”

"It's good that Doctor Zhang doesn't know about this matter, otherwise he will be reprimanded again......" Zhao Junchen's expression relaxed a little, but he quickly frowned again, and muttered to himself: "Why did Guo Linxiang, Chen Gongxing, and He Zeng come to Huamachi Camp to see me?" When I return to the capital, I will inevitably pass through Shanxi, and then I will naturally have the opportunity to meet, and their attitude is inevitably too eager, right? ”

Then, Zhao Junchen seemed to think of something, and he couldn't help but move slightly.

Zhao Junchen and the Jinshang Group had the earliest contact, but the relationship between the Jinshang Group and Zhao Junchen has always been like a separation, but the Huishang Group and Zhao Junchen are getting closer and closer, and they are gradually becoming the same.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen nodded and said, "Please ask them to meet me in the small study." ”

Since Liang Fuchen arrived at Huamachi Camp, Zhao Junchen gave up the main hall and large study of the Governor's Mansion to Liang Fuchen, and the other small study became Zhao Junchen's office room.

After speaking, Zhao Junchen took the lead in walking towards his office room.

said that after Zhao Junchen came to his office room, he soon saw Xu Qingyan enter the room with three Jin merchant leaders.

When Zhao Junchen saw the three of them, he also got up to greet them with a cordial attitude, and said with a smile: "Boss Guo, Boss Chen, and Boss He, what happened to the three of them to rush to Huamachi Camp in person?" When I return to the capital and pass through Shanxi in a while, we will naturally have the opportunity to meet, and now won't it trouble the three of you to make an extra trip? ”

Guo Linxiang hurriedly laughed and said: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome at all!" In front of Lord Zhao, how dare the three of us use the word 'labor driving'! As Lord Zhao's honor, in order to meet Lord Zhao as soon as possible, it is only natural that the three of us and the others will come to Huamachi Camp in person. ”

After exchanging polite words with each other, Zhao Junchen, Guo Linxiang, Chen Gongxing, and He Zeng sat down separately, and then asked: "But I don't know what the three big bosses came to Huamachi Camp to see me all the way, but for what?" ”

After Guo Linxiang, Chen Gongxing, and He Zeng glanced at each other, this time it was Chen Gongxing who said on behalf of the three of them: "This time I asked to see Lord Zhao, mainly for two things!" First of all, it is to report to Lord Zhao on the progress of the war in Shanxi! At the beginning, when Lord Zhao passed through Shanxi, he issued an order to greatly increase the reward for military merits and the compensation for the dead and wounded. A total of more than 400,000 taels of silver were funded! Today, the dust of the war has settled, and after the soldiers received the silver reward and pension, they were all grateful to Lord Zhao. ”

These words are for the sake of inviting merit.

Zhao Junchen naturally reciprocated the favor and said: "For the frontier plan of the imperial court, the Jin merchants funded 400,000 taels of silver in one go, such a loyal and patriotic heart is really admirable, please rest assured, when I return to the capital, I will definitely ask for credit to Your Majesty!" With the smooth progress of the United Shipping Company, the matter of commercial tax rectification will soon be extended to the north, and you will definitely not suffer at that time. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's reply, Guo Linxiang, Chen Gongxing, and He Zeng all nodded with satisfaction.

Since the establishment of the "United Ship Company", it has been a daily money-making businessman, and the Jin merchants have been jealous for a long time, and Zhao Junchen's promise is exactly what they wanted.

After the three Jin merchant leaders thanked each other, He Zeng said: "As for the second matter, I waited for this time to rush to Huamachi Camp, but it was to reach a cooperation with Lord Zhao...... Some more in-depth collaborations! ”

Hearing He Zeng's statement, Zhao Junchen's face was full of doubts and asked, "Oh? I have always cooperated with all of you, why do you want to talk about cooperation now? ”

Guo Linxiang's face was full of smiles, and he took out two contracts from his arms and sent them to Zhao Junchen with both hands.

After Zhao Junchen took the two contracts, he lowered his head and carefully reviewed them, and his expression couldn't help but change again and again.

After a long time, Zhao Junchen finally raised his head, his face was full of amazement, and said: "The world says that Jin Shang has a long-term vision and a shrewd mind, and now I am finally convinced...... That's a lot of work done by guys. ”

The contents of these two contracts are extraordinary.

The first contract was a contract for the Jin merchants to invite Zhao Junchen to take a stake in their respective firms!

Among them, Guo Linxiang took out a hundred percent of the shares of the "Tongrui ticket number" - this is the largest ticket number within the seven northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the southern provinces are also open semicolons!

He Zeng took out one-and-a-half shares of the "He Family Chamber of Commerce" under his name - the "He Family Chamber of Commerce" controls nearly half of the ship, carriage and horse dealers, and camel gangs in the seven northern provinces, and it is also the largest smuggling group in the north!

Chen Gongxing took out a half of the shares of "Tongda Commercial Bank" - this is the largest salt merchant in the north, and it is also the main force in the development of Sichuan salt in the future, and it also monopolizes the medicinal material business in the north!

In addition, there are two percent of the shares of "Ronghe Commercial Bank", two percent of the shares of "Daoxing Chamber of Commerce", and one and a half percent of the shares of "Xujia Chamber of Commerce......

Densely packed, there are more than 20 different businesses!

These firms, all of which were well-known in the Ming Dynasty, represented the essence of the Jin merchants in this era, and were the strongest, most profitable, and most influential industries under their names!

According to the content of this contract, as long as Zhao Junchen takes out 2.3 million taels of silver, he can take the shares of these firms in the contract, and the size of the shares ranges from one percent to two and a half percent.

Two million and 3,300,000 taels of silver is by no means a small amount, but if he can participate in these businesses at the same time, Zhao Junchen will definitely make a lot of money.

These shares, even if they are just annual dividends, are at least more than three and a half million taels!

At the same time, once Zhao Junchen participates in the business name of the Jin merchants on a large scale, then Zhao Junchen will also become the spokesperson of the Jin Merchants Group from now on, and the Jin Merchants Group will be the same, common prosperity and common loss, and must strive for the interests of the Jin Merchants at any time!

As for the second contract, the content is even more striking.

Jinshang Group will take out 3.5 million taels of silver in one go and participate in the business under Zhao Junchen's name.

It is worth mentioning that the Jin merchants did not forcibly require that the 3.5 million taels of silver must be invested in a certain commercial bank, but only required Zhao Junchen to provide five percent of the dividends to the Jin merchants every year in the future.

In other words, Zhao Junchen can use the 3.5 million taels of silver at will, he can completely open a shell firm, and then put all the 3.5 million taels of silver into it, and then gradually transfer the silver to the "Jubao Firm", "Zhao's Boat Company", and even "Tongji Temple" and other places where the business content is more sensitive!

After investing such a large amount of money in one go, many of Zhao Junchen's plans can greatly speed up the progress!

The Jin merchants would not interfere with the use of this silver, nor would they supervise the flow of this silver, Zhao Junchen only needed to provide them with a dividend of five percent every year - that is, 175,000 taels of silver - and the contract was completed!

All in all, as long as Zhao Junchen agrees to sign these two contracts, one in and one out, it means that Zhao Junchen does not need to spend a penny of silver, and he can get the shares of more than 20 famous firms at the same time, as well as 1.2 million taels of silver!

And the price is just that Zhao Junchen will be tied to the Jin merchants in the future and become the spokesperson of the Jin Shang Group!

This account is a good deal no matter how you calculate it!

It is precisely because of this that when Zhao Junchen reviewed these two contracts, his expression was so shocked!

He never imagined that the Jin merchants would be willing to pay such a huge price in order to bind themselves to their ship!

On the other side, after hearing Zhao Junchen's admiration, Guo Linxiang's complexion did not change at all, he just stared at Zhao Junchen's expression tightly and asked, "Lord Zhao, I believe you have understood our sincerity!" But I don't know what you think? ”

After Zhao Junchen pondered for a long time, he suddenly smiled and said, "From now on, we will be a family!" ”

Either way, there may be some trouble in the future, but now let's get the benefits in hand!

*

Under the happy cooperation, Zhao Junchen personally got up and sent away the three Jin business giants.

When he returned to the office room, he saw Xu Qingyan smirking and kept muttering: "Three million and nine hundred thousand taels...... 3,900,000 taels ...... That's 3.9 million taels! ”

Zhao Junchen frowned and asked, "What three million and nine hundred thousand taels?" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Xu Qingyan finally came back to his senses and said excitedly: "Young master, I just counted the specific income of our visit to Shaanxi and Gansu this time!" First of all, the 1.3 million taels of silver harvested by the Wang family, and then the 820,000 taels of silver that the governors offered one after another, yesterday Li Xun was even more amazing, and he paid a tribute of 500,000 taels in one go, I would like to think that this is the biggest harvest, but I didn't expect today's Jin merchants to be even more amazing! …… I have calculated several times, we came to the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu this time, and we have gained a total of 4.8 million taels of silver alone! Not to mention those shares and properties! ”

Then, Xu Qingyan said with an exaggerated expression: "God, there are three million and nine hundred thousand taels!" Three million taels of silver! ”

Seeing Xu Qingyan like this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, Qingliu always prides themselves on being honest, and they have always despised me, a corrupt official...... Also, people are two-sleeved breeze, never take more than a penny of silver, I came to Shaanxi and Gansu this time, obviously just to do business, but still harvested nearly four million taels of silver, it can be described as a two-sleeved golden wind, no wonder they will be despised! ”
