Chapter 684: Money
He took a deep breath and said, "It's business as usual. ”
Yang Huzhi, Yang Si nodded, here!
"Grass people Yang Huyi, meet Zheng Xibo!" Yang Hu threw away his crutches, stepped forward quickly, and bowed deeply in front of Zhou Zheng.
Behind him, a group of people from Juxian Building rushed out and came to greet him.
Zhou Zheng looked at it and couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm just here to have dinner with an old friend, why did I make such a big fuss?" Shopkeeper Yang, please get up. ”
Chen Benqing, Jiang Guang said, and even Chen An did not have the qualifications to speak casually in front of Zhou Zheng, so there was no way to play a round.
It was the Marquis of Jiangning, who was still above Zhou Zheng, and said with a smile with some old qualifications: "We have no chance to see the side of Zheng Xibo, and with the light of Brother Yang, we can see the true face, so that we can go back and tell our children and grandchildren, Kuang Fu Sheji, the Zheng Xibo who saved the Ming Dynasty, did not have eight hands and four heads......
Zhou Zheng listened to Jiang Ninghou's gags, smiled more, stretched out his hand to pick up Yang Huyi, and said: "It's all rude, feel free, Jiang Ninghou, you don't have to rely on the old and sell the old in front of me, those boys in your family have been hiding, be careful that I send them to Liaodong ......"
Jiang Ninghou is an old Jianghu, where can he not hear Zhou Zheng's intention to promote his children and grandchildren, and immediately smiled excitedly: "Look, take a look, the rumors are true, they all say that Zheng Xibo is withdrawn by nature, and in order to avoid the suspicion of forming a party, he closes his door and is difficult to get close, isn't this ironclad evidence?" ”
Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand and nodded at Jiang Ninghou, and said a little helplessly: "You say that you rely on the old and sell the old, you are really right." Walk around, go in, mess around here, be seen as a joke......"
Everyone could hear the joke between the two, and they all laughed and agreed.
Yang Hu is the main family, but at the moment he seems a little small, still struggling, leading Zhou Zheng upstairs.
Zhou Zheng sat down on the second floor, looked around, and said with a smile: "Today is full of friends, and the victorious friends are like clouds......"
Their table, in addition to Zhou Zheng, Hu Jianghe, Liu Liuzhe, Chen An, Jiang Ninghou and others, is Yang Huyi, there are five tables not far from the opposite side, almost all of them are high-ranking officials and dignitaries of Nanzhili, more than 50 people, and less than ten are big businessmen invited by Yang Huyi.
As soon as Zhou Zheng spoke, all of them echoed the voice, not only upstairs, but also downstairs.
Yang Hu and the others were already really happy, and they laughed stiffly, like sitting on pins and needles.
Everyone echoed for a while, stopped one after another, and looked at Zhou Zheng.
This seemingly ordinary banquet has long been different.
Zhou Zheng looked around again, and said with a smile: "Zhou came to Nanzhili to come and see." Nanzhi's subordination to the Ming Dynasty was crucial, and too many things happened during this time. It is said that the top and bottom of Nanzhili made concerted efforts to oppose the change of the law, opposed the elimination of maladministration by the imperial court, stubbornness, and determined to oppose the imperial court and the people of the world. I've been here for so long, but I haven't seen it, it's still a rumor. ”
Jiang Ninghou's eyes flickered, glanced at the others, and said with a smile: "What Zheng Xibo said is true." I've seen all the changes in the imperial court, which one is not for the people of the world? The reason why there are so many rumors is spread maliciously by some people with ill intentions and bad intentions, and there are only a few of them, and as far as Nan Zhili is concerned, they are scabies and do not get in the way. ”
The others looked tense and smirked without a sound.
Chen An glanced at it and said lightly: "What Zheng Xibo said is true." The slave is a eunuch in Nanjing, if you want to say that someone can't get along with the emperor, the court, and the people of the world, our family is the first to spare! ”
Chen An was a eunuch guarding the town, and his words were obviously a sign of loyalty and a warning.
Jiang Guangyue, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, answered indifferently and said: "What Gonggong Chen said is that my Nanzhili is Nanjing, how can the people of Nanjing have no thoughts of the country and not think about the people?" The young people are a minority after all. ”
Several people set the tone one after another, and the upstairs and downstairs answered one after another, as if they were affirming, but in fact, their expressions were still uneasy.
Zhou Zheng watched coldly, his heart was clear, he took a sip of wine, looked at Yang Huyi with a smile, and said: "Shopkeeper Yang understands righteousness, donates money and land to the court, and can stand up to support the court's reform of the law with a clear banner, which is very valuable, and makes this official very admirable." ”
Yang Hu hurriedly got up, raised his hand and said, "Don't dare to be praised by Xibo." This is the duty of the people and the people, the court is good, the world is good, such a simple truth, the villain still understands. ”
Zhou Zheng nodded lightly and said with emotion: "This is the truth, but there are very few people who understand it, and even fewer dare to do it." Be rewarded, set an example, and respect the whole people! ”
Yang Hu was stunned one by one, not knowing what Zhou Zheng was going to do, but hurriedly said: "The villain really doesn't dare to be a ......"
Without waiting for him to finish, Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be modest. ”
Upstairs and downstairs are respectful, some listen attentively, and some open their eyes wide.
Hu Jianghe looked at Yang Huyi and said with a smile: "Being able to donate 200,000 silver to the imperial court at this moment, since the apocalypse, there are few generous and patriotic people, and the imperial court cannot but reward them." On behalf of the Ministry of Households, I will immediately exempt the Yang family from all taxes, forced labor, and other unfair treatment. The sub-first priority is given to the imperial examination and the entry into the office. The projects of the imperial court, the Yang family is preferred. Loans to Zhou's ticket number are given priority and are interest-free. In addition, the household department squeezed out two foreign langs, and one of them was recommended by the Yang family, and they were exempted from the entrance examination......"
Everyone listened, stunned, just these items Hu Jianghe said, no amount of silver can buy benefits!
Shen Yunchang, of Zhou's ticket number, answered at this time and said, "Yes." The Zhou ticket number has been prepared for 500,000 yuan, and if the Yang family applies for it, it can be issued within three months for two years without interest. ”
Everyone was shocked, the Yang family only went out, and they got back 500,000 in a blink of an eye!
Yao Zhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, answered: "The Ministry of Industry currently has several projects in the south of the Yangtze River, the first is to set up canals, Yangtze River waterways, and various official roads, the time is about three years, and the investment is three million, if the Yang family is interested, you can give a part to the Yang family." ”
Here are all dignitaries, gentry and wealthy businessmen, who don't know, these siege cities have a lot of oil and water, and if you win a million projects, you can earn at least 200,000!
200,000 ah, how many years can you earn so much silver!
Many people looked at the Yang family with red eyes, and they were already thinking about how to 'cooperate'.
At this time, Chen An coughed and said: "Due to the huge contribution of the Yang shopkeeper, our family will ask the imperial court to hand over the salt affairs of Nanzhili to the Yang family, and the imperial court intends to abolish the weaving mansion, and when the time comes, the Yang family can also take over." ”
Nanzhili Salt!
I don't know how many people's hearts jumped hard, salt is the most profitable, if the salt affairs of Nanzhili are handed over to the Yang family, the Yang family just can't think about it!
That's it?
Zhou Zheng said with a smile: "Since you all have a greeting gift, this official can't be missing." Come. ”
A team of lieutenants came up with a long box, opened it in front of everyone, and spread it out.
Everyone saw that it was the word 'Imperial Merchant', vigorous and powerful, full and round, and most importantly, they saw a seal below.
Many people couldn't help but stand up, looking excited.
This is the jade seal!
Too many people were short of breath, their eyes burning at the seal.
The emperor's seal of the 'imperial businessman', this is a holy decree, with this piece of paper, it is difficult for the Yang family to decline!
