The news that Zhu Cihong held the "New Island United States Project Investor Meeting" in the Huangji Palace spread to Nanjing on the other side of the Yangtze River, and immediately caused a sensation - the meeting between the two governments of the Ming Dynasty has always been confidential, and basically no news will be leaked, and this time the confidentiality work does not know who is in charge, and within two days it will be full of turmoil in the city, and there is no one in the whole Nanjing City who does not know!

It turns out that Da Tianzi is really the richest today!

Also, what is this United States of New Continent? Why are the richest and richest men in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Qing officials of the Manchu Dynasty enthusiastically throwing money into it?

And...... I've never heard of fighting the world, and I've shot a lot of flowers. How can you still invest in a country now?

Is it something that can be bought?

So, is it a good deal to invest in a country?

Now it's 1 million a Hou plus a veteran...... That's a bit of a high threshold! Is there a project that costs a little less? For example, 100,000 taels to buy a "bo", 10,000 taels to buy a "son" or something? Everyone can afford this money!

The minds of the landlords, old money, and capitalists in Nanjing are alive!

After all, the United States project is the richest in the Ming Dynasty and the richest man in the Ming Dynasty. Even if you lose money, you can still get a piece of land and a knighthood.

The common people of Nanjing City knew the news, and the Emperor Taishang, who lived in the Renshou Palace (formerly Dagongfang and Xipu) on the bank of the Qinhuai River in the inner city of Nanjing, also heard about it.

The one who brought him the news was Pang Tianshou, the chief eunuch of Renshou Palace.

"What? In what country will he put 30,000,000 taels of silver in New Continent? He, where did he get so much money? He only has 300,000 taels of gold and silver a year! ”

Chongzhen was shocked! He has been the son of heaven for seventeen years, and he often can't sleep all night for hundreds of thousands of headaches, and finally he seized power for his son because he had no money. And this rebel son has only been in power for thirteen or fourteen years, and he almost ran to Nanjing empty-handed, how many years has it been? Why is it that all the shots are millions and tens of millions?

Eunuch Pang smiled bitterly and said, "Long live the old man, you don't know yet, right?" It has been spread all over the outside, and today's Daming is the richest, the richest and the second richest, the richest man is Zheng Zhilong, the second richest man is Shen Tingyang, and the richest is Long Live Lord! ”

Chongzhen was taken aback: "The richest? How rich is it? ”

"He is so rich that he can take 30 million taels out to vote for the eldest son of the emperor to vote for the United States, how rich do you say he is?"

"But, where did he get his money?" Chongzhen still can't figure it out!

Pang Tianshou shook his head and said: "Although the court of Long Live Lord is quite capable of saving money, Long Live Lord himself only takes 300,000 taels a year, which is not much for a copper plate, and he spends it all every year, and there is no balance at all......

"And how did he become the richest?" Although Emperor Chongzhen has lived a debaucherous retirement life, he is not very old, but he is in his forties, and he is in good health, and his thinking is still very agile, so he still has not let go of his studies - learning philosophy, French, mathematics, Gezhixue and how to be an emperor! The five homework courses are very good, a proper student!

But although Xueba Chongzhen's IQ is high, his financial quotient is very low, not to mention learning Zhu Cihong's ability to collect money, I can't understand it!

If he could understand a little, he would not discuss with Pang Tianshou how Zhu Cihong became the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

"This, this, where do you know about this slave?" Of course Pang Tianshou doesn't know!

Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty often needed to rely on eunuchs to collect money, the eunuchs themselves did not have much financial quotient - in the case of the collective inaction of civil officials, all the nobles lying still, and the emperor himself was long in the deep palace and had no access to finances at all, the eunuchs were the only people who could scrape money for the emperor.

But how likely is it that a person who can really scrape money and run a business will become a eunuch?

For example, when Wei Zhongxian was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, he was so poor that he had no way to live, so he had to castrate himself into the palace as a eunuch, can such a person be a master of financial management? The Emperor of the Apocalypse could only rely on him to get money, which was a tragedy in itself. And Chongzhen didn't even have Wei Zhongxian......

But Zheng Zhilong is amazing, he was born in the same humble background, self-made, he was already the richest man in the Ming Dynasty at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, and the family had more money than the household department, so if you want to collect money, you have to find such a person!

"Pang Companion, drive the old mountain palace!" After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen finally made a decision that seemed quite wise - go to the old mountain palace and ask Zhu Cihong!

Put the ready-made Ming is the richest and don't ask, what is the strength of a eunuch?

Starting from the Renshou Palace in Nanjing, take the dragon boat, enter the Yangtze River from the Qinhuai River, cross the river to the royal wharf in Pukou, then change to the four-wheeled carriage, go all the way to the old mountain palace, there are 278 miles by water, more than 30 miles by land, a total of more than 60 miles.

Chongzhen set off in the morning, and arrived at the Laoshan Palace just in time for dinner.

Zhu Cihong was originally in the Pang family garden and Mary. Mancini "practiced French" together, and when he heard that the emperor was coming, he had to put aside Xiao Yanma's "French class" and go back to the palace by Yongdao, and then let people put wine and food in Yanshan Palace, and also brought Wu Sanmei and Zheng Chagu to accompany them.

It can also be regarded as a happy royal family banquet.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had been on the road for a day, was already hungry, and after sitting down, he first ate some food to cushion his hunger, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked straight to the point: "Emperor, I heard that you spent 30 million taels of silver to vote for a United States in the New World?" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and nodded, "Yes!" Father, you are in such a hurry to come from Nanjing City, do you also want to invest a little silver? 1 million 21 shares, how many shares are you going to invest in? ”

It turns out that there is a threshold for investing in the United States of New Asia, and the minimum investment is one million taels! It is also one million two jumps, one million shares, and two shares are two million......

"One million ......" Emperor Chongzhen glared, "I don't have that much money!" And I didn't come to the old mountain palace to invest money, but to ask, where did you get so much money? Thirty million taels! Emperor, you must make it clear to me! ”

Zhu Cihong laughed, and at the same time, his eyes swept over the faces of his two concubines, and the expressions of both of them were taken into his eyes.

Wu Sanmei's face was gloomy - she knew how much family Emperor Zhu had. The number of 30 million is definitely more than that, and even a small goal can't stop it!

But that's an asset, not cash! Mainly held by the Royal Chamber of Commerce in Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Yangzhou land and shops, salt trading houses, maritime merchants, Nanjing iron works, artillery factories, shipyards, as well as Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan three stock exchanges, as well as several toll canals, dozens of toll wharves, and some school shares. All the numbers add up, 100 million must be there, but it is not easy to ask Emperor Zhu to take out 30 million in cash at once...... I'm afraid I'll have to sell a lot of assets, and maybe I'll have to go into debt.

Spending so much money to "buy the country" for Zhu Hehao, can Wu Sanmei be happy?

As for Zheng Chagu, she is happy and smiling - she now has three sons...... The local tyrant has a place to go, and there are two sons who can look down on the crown prince!

"Aunt Cha, you say, where did I get so much money?" Zhu Cihong was very happy to see her, and simply gave her the problem.

Zheng Chagu was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, do you want a concubine?" But the concubine doesn't care about the Royal Chamber of Commerce! ”

"But you know!" Zhu Cihong looked at Zheng Chagu, "In the past few years, you have made millions of dollars in feudal debts, national bonds, land vouchers, and rice and flour transactions, right?" I'm almost done with all that bit of money, don't you know? ”

What the? Zheng Chagu has already made millions?

Chongzhen and Wu Sanmei were shocked, although they knew that Zheng Chagu was spending a lot of money, but they didn't know that Zheng Zhilong didn't give Zheng Chagu so much money, and most of the money Zheng Chagu gave out was earned by her own investment!
