Chapter 285: Routine

Xu Wenchang looked at Zhu Yijun helplessly, and only after a while did he speak: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will write when he goes back." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "If there is anything I need to do, Aiqing will say it." ”

After pondering for a long time, Xu Wenchang opened his mouth and said: "The minister doesn't need His Majesty to do, if you have to say something, then please ask Your Majesty to give the minister a little time!" ”

Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Wenchang, nodded, and then said with a smile: "Then give Aiqing a little more time, and at the end of the year!" That's still half a year, it should be enough, right? ”

"Your Majesty, that's enough!" Xu Wenchang nodded and said.

Xu Wenchang also saw that his majesty didn't expect how well he wrote, it was the Mandarin book on the market. You can write it if you find anyone who writes a script, but Your Majesty wants to borrow your own name!

Leaving the palace, Xu Wenchang sighed as he walked, he actually had a day to become a royal literati, it was really a matter of the world!

Seeing Xu Wenchang leave with a dejected look, Zhu Yijun was angry, shook his sleeves, and snorted coldly: "It seems to be forced by me." ”

In the following days, the capital of the Ming Dynasty entered a period of stability.

There are no major things happening in the imperial court, the military reform on the three sides is in full swing, and Zhang Xueyan is doing a good job. The western suburbs are also being built on a large scale, and people are also needed to build roads, which directly leads to labor shortages.

Those who recruit workers go to the countryside every day to pull people.

The silver coin exchange side has also stabilized, basically the royal money bank, on the side of the 100,000 taels of silver coins every day, there is no more. This led to the development of the black market for silver coins, which has flourished in a short period of time.

In just three months, the He family has already scattered more than five million taels of silver coins. More than seven million taels of silver were exchanged, and these silver were not hoarded, but were taken away to mint silver coins.

It is said that the imperial court has prepared to implement a new currency system throughout the north, and the six northern provinces will begin after the New Year.

The seven southern provinces will hold out for a year at the latest, and then the imperial court will completely replace silver with silver coins. At the same time, the imperial court stipulated that the people were not allowed to mint privately, and all those who minted money privately would be copied and beheaded.

He Shengming stood at the door of his house and greeted his father with a smile.

is different from the last time, and now He Shengming's bearing is very different, and he has matured a lot. These days, he is operating a silver exchange business in Shuntian Mansion, and he has come into contact with everyone, which has made He Shengming grow a lot.

He Mingli stepped down from the car, looked at his son, and said with a smile: "Okay! ”

The father and son entered the house together, and He Mingli said with a smile: "It's been three months, and it's finally finished!" ”

He Shengming handed the tea to his father, and said with a smile: "Father has worked hard!" ”

"How are you in the capital?" He Mingli looked at his son and asked with a smile.

"There is no problem here in the capital, with the support of the palace, plus the previous rumor, many people are polite to us." He Shengming sighed: "The palace is really atmospheric! ”

At the same time, He Shengming was also ashamed of himself in his heart, and he suspected that the palace would take his own family to blame.

Now it seems that the palace really wants to use his own family, and even did not hesitate to release rumors that the emperor has fallen in love with his sister, whether it is He Shengming or He Mingli, they all know that this is the goodwill of the palace.

In the palace, it can be said that benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted, and if you are not doing a good job, it will be difficult to speak.

So the father and son were very busy for the past three months, and He Mingli finally met Li Dan's envoy and completed the first transaction with them. For the trading of more than a dozen commodities, He Mingli directly offered a high price.

At the same time, a second deal was finalized with Li Dan, and this time Li Dan would deliver 120 ships of cargo to He Mingli.

These include grain, skins, animal tendons, medicinal materials, etc., and He Mingli will pay for them in the form of half silver and half goods. This transaction is worth 3.7 million taels, which is an absolute big deal.

The He family had never done such a big deal before, but now they felt that they could do it.

He Mingli definitely can't forget his attitude when he faced Li Dan's envoy, if you want, how much you want, how much you can transport. The price is negotiable, and the market price has risen by 30%, no problem.

The feeling of scolding Fang Xuan is really cool.

The first batch of goods is worth 300,000 taels, and he has already handed it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the next batch of 3.8 million taels of big deals, it will have to wait until the end of the year, and now it is no show.

"Dad, what should we do next?" He Shengming looked at his father and asked hesitantly.

"The deal between us and Li Dan has been finalized, and this is our last deal this year." He Mingli said with a serious face: "We have two things to do next. ”

"The first thing is the goods, and the goods provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs have not yet arrived."

"The second is your sister's entry into the palace, and I have already sent someone to pick up your sister."

"The third thing is the opening of the port, at the beginning of next year, strive to open the port, you let people release the news, the reason why the He family can have silver coin exchange is not because of your sister's relationship."

"It's because our He family is doing sea trade, and we bought and sold 3.8 million taels of goods with Li Dan, and sold them to the Internal Affairs Office for 4.5 million silver coins, making a net profit of 700,000 silver coins."

"The payment of 3.8 million taels of goods, in fact, only cost 2.7 million silver coins, the money earned from selling goods, plus the money from sea trade, this one, our He family made a net profit of 1.8 million silver coins."

Of course, this figure is He Mingli's bragging, because there are accounts in the Internal Affairs Office and the palace.

But even so, the business of these one hundred and twenty ships is done, and I dare not say that there is no problem with 500,000 silver coins, which can be called huge profits, and the palace and the internal affairs office will earn even more.

Zhu Yijun's main thing is that he can earn more than 2 million taels by exchanging silver coins, and there is nothing Zhu Yijun can do in the future.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs, on the other hand, is ready to make a lot of money, such as new products, including soaps, soaps, perfumes, shampoos, toothpaste, and other items. It will be a pillar industry of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The second category of products is wine, fruit wine is at the top of the list, purifying the residue of lard, that is, glycerin, which can be used to dissolve the Ganning in fruit wine, so that the fruit wine is not sour, but sweet and delicious.

In addition to lard wax, which is also a new product launched by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the price is very low, but it is very easy to use.

Zhu Yijun made people make a big thick wax, and after igniting it, it didn't burn for a few days, and the thickness was like a cannon barrel.

Zhu Yijun is all preparing to export and sell these things, and there are also preparations that Zhu Yijun wants to make for the implementation of pig breeding. Once lard has these effects, the price of pork will inevitably rise sharply.

If it is profitable, there will be people to raise, and pig breeding can be promoted next year.

There are already three batches of chickens, ducks and geese in the hatchery, and they are selling very well because they are cheap. I don't care if I don't have any money, I exchange eggs for eggs, basically three eggs can be exchanged for one chick.

In an instant, there was not enough chicks, and a batch was bought out of a batch.

Wait until next year, you can introduce chickens, ducks and geese for piglets, and one piglet for ten chickens or eight ducks. This is how the belongings are accumulated, one ring after another, endlessly.

With silver coins as the entry point, the northern port as the breakthrough point, and the special commodities as the attraction point, Zhu Yijun believes that he will definitely be able to beat many people.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun stood in the main hall, glanced at Zhang Whale, and then said, "The He family has already released the news?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's been released!" Zhang Whale hurriedly bowed down and replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said with a smile: "This He family is somewhat interesting, not greedy, and a good character." ”

Does Zhang Whale know how much the He family has earned, and is he still greedy? In greed, I greed my own head. He Mingli of the He family is not stupid, he knows what to take and what not to take.

"Did you send someone to see the daughter of the He family?" Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Whale and asked again.

Although this beauty pageant is basically a solicitation of interests, Zhu Yijun still cares about the other party's appearance very much. If it's really ugly, then it's okay to marry!

"Back to the emperor, I have already sent people from the palace to see it, saying that the appearance and etiquette are very good." Zhang Whale hurriedly replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said: "Let's start preparing for the beauty pageant!" This time, the selection was mainly from among the businessmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Shanxi and Shaanxi should also be taken care of. ”

Zhang Jing nodded hurriedly: "The slave understands!" ”

The scale of this beauty pageant is naturally not too large, and the scope is basically the daughter of the newly rising businessman. Zhu Yijun is clearly exciting.

On the one hand, stimulate these businessmen, let them get a higher status, try to unite around themselves, and form new interest groups.

Second, to stimulate the old nobles, you have to come on, otherwise someone will surpass you. Although the new lords are honored relatives, their children and grandchildren will enter the Royal Martial Arts Hall or the Naval Academy in the future.

I don't know what the quality is, but there are many quantities, and there will always be a few excellent ones.

The emperor's marriage has never been a simple family affair, in fact, the marriage of the Ming Dynasty is much simpler than before. In other dynasties, the harem is the battlefield, that is, the battlefield of the concubines, and the battlefield of various families.

Li Zhi abolished Queen Wang and defeated Concubine Xiao Shu, is it really because he likes Wu Meiniang? Stop making a fuss.

Queen Wang is the Taiyuan Wang family, and Concubine Xiao Shufei is the Xiao family in Jiangnan, to put it bluntly, it is a gate valve struggle. Defeat Queen Wang, abolish Concubine Xiao Shu, and then bring down the eldest grandson Wuji, this is all a routine.

The only thing Li Zhi didn't expect was that Wu Zetian could be the emperor, even if Wu Zetian was in power, in Li Zhi's opinion, he would be at the top if he did Empress Lu, and even Wu Zetian couldn't do the position of Empress Lu.

All these are routines, and Zhu Yijun is the same this time, all of them are routines.
