Chapter 617: Color is Emptiness (5)

Taichu Palace, Shaofu Supervisor.

solemnly invited Wu Chongxing to discuss official business with him.

It is said that it is official business, but in fact, it is a private matter.

At the beginning of the year, the power policy was to clamp down on foreign vassals with foreign trade, but because Yang I did not know the general situation, his performance was extremely clumsy, and the Turkic Mosi Department lost the right to trade directly with the foreign trade merchants of the Great Zhou.

Empress Wu couldn't bear it, and sealed the title of the lord of Yunxi Anrong, from the princess of the feudal state, to the nobles of the Great Zhou, and specially ordered the Xin'an County Mansion to independently plan business and use it exclusively for the Mosi Department.

The trade-off is getting bigger, and Princess Yiyang is mostly taken care of on weekdays, Yunxi is idle, so Quan Ce handed over the caravan affairs in the house to her, and operated it himself, supporting the salt tea necessities of the silent sipping department, so as to dispel her worries.

There is no shortage of manpower in the caravan, Quan Li set up the shelves early, the account room in charge, together with the escort and translation, are all available, but the source of goods is a big problem, Yun Xi's initial list of goods not only involves the materials inside the Great Zhou, but also some vassal states from the northwest and southwest, but it is not an idle matter.

The Commerce Mansion is in charge of the world's merchants, and the title of Yin of the Commerce Mansion on the head of the power policy is still there, but with Zhang Yizhi's power, Zhang Changzong has risen to the top, and he has interfered a lot with the name of the Commerce Mansion.

The original authority was divided into two parts, Zhang Changzong was responsible for the issuance of licenses, and Quan Ce was responsible for reviewing and controlling and local branches.

He was born in the army, and he is not a character who gives in easily, and he has to deal with Zhang Changzong in every way, and if he is not involved in major festivals, he can make concessions, and when it comes to fundamentals, he will not give an inch.

Zhang Changzong disliked the issuance of licenses and one-shot transactions, could not always open the market, deliberately got involved in the control affairs of the merchants, used this to blackmail the merchants, tentatively intervened in several cases, received huge bribes, and wanted to talk about it, but Wang Lu did not give face, and the news of the ears was also fast, and before Zhang Changzong looked for him to speak, he properly landed the heads of the businessmen involved in the case.

It is rumored that Zhang Changzong once scolded Wang Lu angrily, saying that he was a strong donkey Shaoyin, and regarded him as a thorn in his side.

Because of this, the atmosphere in the Commerce Mansion was tense, and Wang Lu acted extremely carefully, beware of Zhang Changzong's black hand, and could not open the door of convenience, giving Yun Xi much support.

It's okay, the yamen is restricted, and there is also the God of Wealth yamen.

In order to quickly consume a large amount of gold and silver, the young government supervisor bought all over the world internally and externally, and he had the lives of many domestic and foreign merchants in his hands, and it was more than enough to collect and integrate these and distribute some to Yunxi's caravan.

Zheng Chongxing and Wu Chongxing took the books and compared and screened them, selected some large-scale and honest merchants, made separate books, and sent them to the Xin'an County Mansion for Yunxi to select.

After finishing business, the two sat down and chatted with each other.

"Zheng Langjun, the price of gold and silver has fallen, copper money is expensive, those who give joy are the most cunning and hateful, take the opportunity to hoard copper money, do not circulate materials, specially raise the price of copper money, buy low and sell high, so that the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are selling gold and silver, foreign businessmen are panicking, and now they are buying, they are no longer willing to collect gold and silver" Wu Chongxing was worried.

solemnly took a sip of tea, "Don't worry about Chongxing Langjun, I expect that the right minister must have a plan"

Wu Chongxing's eyes lit up, he was solemnly a henchman of Quan Ce's henchmen, and it was not surprising that he knew more about it, and asked in a low voice, "But what news did the eldest brother reveal?" ”

Shook his head solemnly, "But no, but Du Xunyan has the official title of inspecting the school's winter official book, and he has been in the East for two years, and he has never made a clear explanation, but I don't believe that he went to visit the mountains and rivers."

"If this is the case, we should take this opportunity to hoard gold and silver at a low price, and then we can make a lot of money. Why didn't the eldest brother arrange it? Wu Chongxing couldn't sit still, stood up and walked around a few times, "No, I'm going to meet the eldest brother and talk to him."

"Chongxing Langjun is slow" solemnly hurriedly stopped him, "Not only to persuade the right minister to make a decision, but also to make more preparations, and sort out the changes in the price of gold, silver and copper coins, which can also be used as a reference."

Wu Chongxing was not hypocritical, thanked him for the solemn reminder, and left in a hurry.

Not long after he left, Zheng Zheng took care of a few official duties, and someone came to the door again.

But he is a rare guest, Li Qiao, the eunuch of the palace.

"The lower official has seen Supervisor Li's order, the supervisor has an order, and he will summon him, how dare he work jade toes" solemnly welcomed him into the signing room, served him with tea, and sat with him, his face was warm, but his heart was tense.

The two sheets in the palace, the arrogance, resembling an octopus, stretching out their hands everywhere, making people look sideways, Li Qiao is the early descendant of the two sheets, and he is the most useful, so he has to beware of three points.

Li Qiao's face is thin, there is no expression on his face, he used Zhuying's bachelor as a springboard to re-enter the court, he has always been like this, and waved his hand, "Supervisor Zheng orders do not need to be polite, the old man is here, there is something to discuss, Hengguo Gong looks up to His Majesty's mind, and intends to set up a new control crane mansion in the palace, thinking that His Majesty will send a place to nourish his heart, and the money and silk required are about three million yuan, since the expenditure of the young government supervisor, the details are here, please Zheng Supervisor order to see it"

Zheng Zheng's face did not move, he stretched out his hand to take a pile of papers, only looked at the beginning, then raised his eyes, and said with a smile, "The young palace supervisor is His Majesty's internal money, and he only uses His Majesty's wishes. ”

Zheng Zheng saw clearly, this document was signed at the beginning, only Zhang Yizhi's seal of the Chunguan Shilang, and there was no seal of Shang Bao Supervisor, and the two lackeys under the door regarded their intentions as bigger than the sky, but in Zheng Zheng's eyes, there was no authority at all.

Li Qiao's eyebrows moved, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Your Majesty Mingjun, the ambition is to make a name for a thousand years, and the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, such a gift for His Majesty, it should be shared by the courtiers, how can it come from the mouth of Your Majesty?" I also hope that Supervisor Zheng will be cautious."

What a big hat.

The solemn smile remained unchanged, and he nodded again and again in approval, "Li Jian Ling, when it comes to power, the palace is a big province, and the Shaofu is small, and this matter is the beginning of the palace province, Li Jian Ling is undoubtedly His Majesty's loyal minister, so I will ask Li Jian Ling to perform the allocation procedure, and the Shaofu Supervisor will transfer the money to the name of the palace province, and the lower officials are also willing to fulfill Li Jian Ling's heart."

The top hat was buckled back as it was, and Li Qiao's face sank, "Supervisor Zheng Ling's teeth are sharp, and the official is not as good as this."

Drop that sentence and get up to leave.

"Supervisor Li's order, please take back this thing" solemnly smiled and stopped on the side and handed the document over.

Li Qiao was stunned, his feet did not stop, bypassed the solemnity, and left by himself.

Holding Wen Mu solemnly in both hands, watching his back go away, he snorted coldly, and threw Wen Mu on the table, "The three family slaves are doing happily and holding their figures, it's really disgusting"

There is a breeze blowing outside the window, blowing the text to make a loud noise, gold and jade flowers and stones, silk brocade, all have, just look at the text, you can see the prosperity of the paper.

Zheng Zheng was a little curious, to build such a luxury gold cave, His Majesty sat in it, can he really nourish his heart?
