After listening to Ma Lin's explanation, Zhengde also agreed with Ma Lin's statement that this is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people. But Zhengde asked suspiciously:

"I know it's a good thing, but what do I get?"

"Your Majesty, you can't sell honeycomb coal, but you can sell coal......"

"Selling coal? Ma Aiqing, don't be kidding, if I go to sell coal, won't I let the ministers drown in the spitting stars? ”

"I didn't let you sell coal in person, you can let your eunuchs go."

"What do you mean......"

"As soon as honeycomb coal comes out, the world's coal consumption will definitely rise. What do you think would happen if Your Majesty had let the eunuchs take control of the coal mines in various places first? ”

"Naturally, everyone from all over the world comes to buy coal from me...... After figuring it out, Zhengde's eyes suddenly glowed golden......

However, he hesitated:

"Do you say, the people will accept this new cooking utensil?" Obviously, Zhengde is afraid that no one will buy it.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, it will definitely be popular all over the world!" Marlin isn't bragging. Don't you see that after the emergence of honeycomb coal after liberation, cities across the country are burning honeycomb coal? The poorer and more housing scarce people are, the more they love to burn honeycomb coal. You must know that poor families, saving a firewood house, that can greatly ease the pressure on housing.

"Then how do you take the world's coal mines?" Zhengde humbly seeks teaching.

"In this way, Your Majesty can send eunuchs to take over all the coal and iron mines in Jin Province in the name of 'strictly controlling the flow of iron tools into Mongolia'. Except for the mines that have already been opened, without the permission of the imperial court, private individuals are strictly forbidden to open new coal mines and iron mines, otherwise they will be punished for the crime of collaborating with the enemy......"

"Why Jin Province?" Emperor Zhengde asked.

"Because the most Daming coal is Jin Province......"

"How do you know?" Zhengde was even more curious.

"What Shizu said, he said, Daming Coal Mine, the first in Jin Province. Moreover, the largest coal mine is in Datong Town. Datong Town belongs to the border town, and there are town guards and eunuchs over there, and His Majesty can completely let the town guard eunuchs find a way to take down the coal mines of the entire Datong, and then take the coal mines of the entire Jin Province......"

"That's ...... Not so good...... Moreover, I don't know how to take ......" Zhengde was a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, your eunuchs are very good at this. As long as you let out your words, the few great eunuchs under your command will definitely be in a hurry to help take those coal mines. Just take those coal mines, and then roll out the honeycomb coal stove, and when the time comes, you can sit and wait for the money to be collected. There is no cost in coal mines, as long as you send people to dig them, you can sell them for money, which is simply a lot of profit! ”

"Okay, just do as you say. As long as it's done, I'll find a way to let Zhang Cai go with you! ”

Of course, Zhengde didn't fully listen to Marin. Instead, he waited for a day and saw that the honeycomb coal stove did only use three pieces of honeycomb coal a day before he started to act.

Sure enough, as Ma Lin expected, Zhengde summoned Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju, Ma Yongcheng and other big eunuchs together, and said that they wanted the world's coal mines, and several eunuchs were stunned at first, and then immediately expressed their loyalty and expressed their willingness to do it.

In the end, Qiu Ju grabbed this task, and in the name of "Qin ordered to guard the eunuchs", he settled in Jin Province and began to seize the coal mines of the entire Jin Province. As for the coal mines that have been mined, there is no one behind them, so they will be directly seized by force, and then they will be subsidized a little casually and send things away. If there is a big one behind it, you will give more money, but the coal mine will also be decided......

Seeing that everything was going well, at the Shuowang Dynasty meeting on the first day of the tenth lunar month, Zhengde finally proposed the disposal of Zhang Cai......

A moment ago, some courtiers said that Zhang Cai should be exiled to Lingnan, and Zhengde immediately answered:

"In that case, then exile Zhang Cai and his family to Dongfan Island!"

"Dongfan Island?" The officials who had just discussed the exile of Zhang Cai were also stunned.

"Yes, Lingnan is a barren land, and Dongfan Island is the same. It's still a place where savages live, isn't exile of Zhang Cai's family there similar to exile to Lingnan? ”

When the ministers thought about it, it seemed to be such a reason......

"Also, I plan to directly punish Zhang Cai as a slave and give it to Ma Lin, the lord of Fanyi, as a slave, and let him drive him. Isn't the owner of Equestria going to develop Dongfan Island? Okay, let Zhang Cai go with him and deal with those wild people from Dongfan Island, what do you think? ”

"This is a good ......" Many civil officials who have a grudge against Zhang Cai praised Zhengde's arrangement in their hearts.

So, the courtiers nodded in agreement. But at the same time, they proposed that Marin could not bring Zhang Cai back to the mainland, and was only allowed to settle in Dongfan Island......

For this, Marlin is naturally fine. Anyway, he originally wanted to use Zhang Cai's rich experience in governance to manage Taiwan Island. Of course, Kong Tai is still the nominal chief official, but Zhang Cai can handle affairs in the name of adjutant and assistant.

At the Shuowang Dynasty meeting, the ministers enthusiastically discussed Zhang Cai's incomparably dark future. Thinking of the scene where Zhang Cai was dealing with savages in the future, many civil officials laughed directly to themselves.

Marin was then summoned to the court. Emperor Zhengde is a serious and authentic way:

"Ma Aiqing, I heard that you are going to develop Dongfan Island, which is full of wild people, and there is a shortage of manpower?"

Ma Lin had already discussed privately with Zhengde, so he naturally cooperated:

"Indeed, Dongfan Island is full of wild people, and it is extremely dangerous. Ministers need brave and resourceful talents to fight wits and courage with those fierce savages. Moreover, you need to be mentally prepared to be eaten by wild people at any time......" Marin said, showing a bitter face.

"Hahaha......" the ministers laughed. At the same time, I was even more satisfied with this "terrible arrangement" for Zhang Cai.

"Okay, I'll give you the criminal minister Zhang Cai as a house slave and take him to Dongfan Island to open up wasteland!" Zhengde waved his hand.

Marin pretended to be surprised and said:

"What? Zhang Cai? But the former secretary of the book? Such a big shot...... Wouldn't it be a pity to be eaten by the wild people of Dongfan Island? ”

The ministers said in their hearts - we are looking forward to Zhang Cai being eaten by the savages......

Then, Zhang Cai's fate was decided......

……

After determining Zhang Cai's fate, Ma Lin immediately asked:

"Your Majesty, since Zhang Cai has become the slave of the minister, can the minister appoint him as a housekeeper and order him to go to Jiangnan to buy pigs?"

"Buy pigs?" Zhengde and the ministers were stunned.

"Yes, I heard that the pigs in the Taihu Lake area in the south of the Yangtze River are extremely delicious. The wild people on Dongfan Island don't raise pigs, but they want to eat meat, so they have to catch people to eat. Chen thought, go buy some pigs for those wild people to raise, with pork, they won't eat people......" Marin said with a pretending to be "I'm cute".

The monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all scorched on the outside and tender on the inside by Ma Lin, the thunderer's statement - buying pigs for the savages to raise, just to let the savages eat pork and not human flesh?

Then, the entire court burst into laughter, and many ministers laughed so much that they couldn't straighten their waists. Zhengde also laughed crookedly on the dragon chair, he was really thundered to death by Marin's excuse......

The ministers nodded in agreement, thinking that letting Zhang Cai be a subordinate to buy pigs, and buying them for those man-eating savages to raise, was very suitable for the character they arranged for Zhang Cai. As a result, the ministers issued a road guide to Marin in the court, allowing "housekeeper Zhang Cai" to go to Nanzhili to purchase domestic pigs.

In fact, this is also a test that Marin gave Zhang Cai. If Zhang Caiban is smashed, Ma Lin may not reuse him. If it is done beautifully, Zhang Cai will easily gain Marin's trust.

When Zhang Cai, who was waiting in an inn on the outskirts of the capital, learned that Ma Lin was going to arrange for him to go to Jiangnan to buy domestic pigs, his face was blue and white for a while, obviously not very happy.

Marin warned:

"Don't underestimate this errand, I heard that the domestic pigs near Taihu Lake have many cubs and grow fast, and they are the best domestic pig breeds in the Ming Dynasty. This is a major matter related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and we must not neglect it. If this matter is done, your Zhang family will definitely have a bright future in the future. If you can't do it......"

"Subordinates understood!" Zhang Cai is a smart person and immediately realized the seriousness of this matter.

"Also, when I go to Jiangnan, if I have the opportunity, I will secretly buy some tea seeds. For example, the 'scaring fragrance' (the predecessor of Biluochun, the name of Biluochun was changed by Kangxi) tea in Dongting Mountain, Wuxian County, Suzhou. ”

Taihu Pig and Biluochun are both on the shore of Taihu Lake, Zhang Cai has passed this time, but they can be purchased together. Moreover, the tea tree seeds are very small, and they are also hidden when placed in the bag, which is difficult to attract the attention of others.

Zhang Cai took the order and went directly to the shore of Taihu Lake in the south of the Yangtze River with the people hired by the Marin Gang......
