Zhang Whale looked at He Mingli and said with a smile: "Since Lord He understands, then this matter is settled." In the future, the silver coin side, Dongchang will contact Lord He. ”

"Yes, father-in-law!" He Mingli hurriedly nodded and said.

Zhang Jing glanced at He Mingli and asked, "Lord He, do you have a daughter?" ”

He Mingli was stunned for a moment and asked himself what he was doing here? Could it be that this Father-in-law Zhang wants his daughter? It's impossible! What does the great eunuch want a woman to do? I didn't hear that this father-in-law has this hobby!

Is it for the sake of his own children and nephews? That's a good thing!

Although he slandered in his heart, He Mingli still didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said: "Back to my father-in-law, yes, Xiaguan has a daughter, who is sixteen years old and has not yet decided on a marriage." ”

Zhang Whale nodded: "In a few days, our family will send someone to meet us, and Your Majesty should be a beauty pageant in the palace next year." ”

After listening to Zhang Whale's words, He Mingli's body is about to swing, and the emperor wants to accept his daughter? Isn't that the He family going to ascend to the sky in one step? This kind of good thing is rare!

"Isn't it ugly?" Zhang Whale glanced at He Mingli and asked again.

"Of course it's not ugly!" He Mingli hurriedly said, he didn't lie.

Since he was a child, He Mingli has been doing his best to cultivate his daughter, not that he wants to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, but that he wants to use women to marry in the future. Now that he has the opportunity to marry into the palace, He Mingli's heart is about to jump out.

The He family's good luck is finally coming!

Zhang Jing nodded, and then said with a smile: "This is the best." ”

He Mingli left, and Zhang Whale and a little eunuch stood on the steps and watched He Mingli leave.

"Godfather, this He Mingli is also a big businessman, and he is also a treacherous and fox-like character. Let's do this, does it really work? The little eunuch looked at Zhang Whale cautiously and asked.

Both the little eunuch and Zhang Whale knew that once He Mingli started maritime trade in Shandong, it would be the day when he and the merchants in Jiangnan turned their faces.

The maritime trade merchants in Jiangnan are very powerful, He Mingli really has the courage? Can it really be done just by relying on a little trick played by his own people?

Glancing at the little eunuch, Zhang Jing said with a smile: "Who in this world can escape the word fame and fortune." ”

"The more people like He Mingli, the more unwilling he is, the more unwilling he is, the more unwilling they are, and the more they are willing to give everything for this unwillingness. If he offends people, he is afraid of offending the businessmen in Jiangnan, isn't he afraid of offending our family? ”

In fact, Zhang Whale didn't tell the truth, he wanted to say that he was not afraid of offending himself, but offending the emperor.

As long as He Mingli is not a fool, he knows how to choose, the emperor wants you to be a dog, then you have to bite someone. Otherwise, your dog will be killed directly for meat, and no one in the world can be an exception.

"Let our people keep an eye on him, and report any situation immediately."

"Yes, godfather!" The little eunuch hurriedly bowed down and replied.

After instructing the little eunuch, Zhang Whale turned around and walked towards the Wenhua Palace, he was going to tell the emperor, and the first step of the matter was completed.

In addition to the Forbidden City, He Mingli got into his own carriage, commanded the coachman: "Go", and then sat in the carriage to think. Until now, He Mingli felt a sense of unreality.

I entered the palace, met the emperor by myself, and was entrusted with a heavy task by the emperor.

At this time, He Mingli's blood is boiling, and the business has been doing quite well over the years, and He Mingli has gradually stopped caring about these things. But today, He Minglijue's impulse from his youth has returned.

As for offending people or something, He Mingli didn't care at all.

Doing business is not a dinner party, I have been doing business in Yuegang all these years, and I have been very popular with those Jiangnan people. If it weren't for the strength of his own family, he would have been trampled into slag by these people a long time ago.

Now it's their turn to beg themselves, and see how I try to tribulate you.

Back at his family's mansion, He Mingli saw his son He Shengming at a glance, looking at his son's anxious expression, He Mingli immediately smiled, and felt very warm in his heart.

Originally, he planned to let his son study and pursue a career in office, but it was not that material.

On the contrary, he followed himself in business, and he has done a very good job over the years, which He Mingli did not expect. However, his son's filial piety made He Mingli very satisfied.

He Shengming looked at his father wearing a unicorn suit, and his eyes widened.

He remembered what his father was wearing when he left, it was a shabby coarse linen robe, and he was about to confess his last words when he left. This time I not only put on a unicorn suit, but also a spring breeze, what's wrong?

"Dad, what are you?" He Shengming looked at his son and asked with some hesitation.

He Mingli smiled and waved his hand: "Go in and say!" ”

The father and son came to the study together, He Mingli changed his clothes under the service of the maid, put the unicorn suit for people to put away, and then sat on the chair and took a sip of tea, and slowly said: "Our tea is not as delicious as the palace one!" ”

In fact, the Ming Qian Green that He Mingli drank was definitely not as good as Zhu Yijun's, but it was much better than the tea that Zhang Whale entertained him. But now that this tea is drunk, it really doesn't feel as good as Zhang Whale's tea.

That's where psychology comes in.

"Dad, what's going on in the palace?" He Shengming looked at his father and asked a little eagerly.

"What does a frizzy look like!" He Mingli glared at his son, and then said slowly: "Be steady, where did you throw away all your father's teachings on weekdays?" ”

"You didn't see stability when you entered the palace!" He Shengming scolded in his heart, but his face looked submissive: "Yes, what Daddy taught me!" ”

Seeing his son's attitude, He Mingli nodded with satisfaction, and then told his son about the things in the palace, and finally said with a smile: "This is our He family's opportunity!" ”

He Shengming's face was also ecstatic: "It's so good, it's so good!" ”

Compared with He Mingli, He Shengming's heart of fame is much heavier, after all, he is young. It's an opportunity, of course he can see. After pondering for a moment, He Shengming slowly said: "Dad, my son thinks that we can't get our hands on the matter of exchanging silver coins. ”

"What do you mean?" He Mingli looked at his son and asked, "Can you still push it to the palace?" ”

He Shengming hurriedly waved his hand: "That's not what the child meant, the child means to find a few people to deal with, we can exchange the silver coins for others, let them take it to exchange, and our He family will not come forward." ”

"After all, this matter involves too much, and the movement is too big."

"Once someone with a heart notices and picks up the matter, I'm afraid that our He family will become the target of public criticism. But if you leave it to others, even if you find us, there is room for turnaround. ”

He Mingli glanced at his son, and there was room for bullshit.

To put it bluntly, if something really happens, if you can save it, you can save it, and if you can't save it, you will throw people out and take the blame. As long as you don't get involved too deeply, it will be much less difficult to protect yourself in the palace.

To do things for the palace, things must be done well, and you must not cause trouble.

Regarding his son's idea, He Mingli didn't chase it, but he still said with a smile: "Very good, it's good that you have this idea, so who do you think is the most suitable person to find?" I'm afraid this person is not easy to find! ”

"Looking for Qin Datou!" He Shengming squinted his eyes and said.

Qin Datou in He Shengming's mouth is a well-known one on the ground of the capital, a broker and gangster, and there are many prostitutes on the ground in the capital. Of course, it's not a big brothel in Qinglou, but a secret prostitute.

After Bo had capital, Qin Datou also opened a casino, and a lot of people from three religions and nine streams knew a lot.

"Let's not talk about anything else, just say that we will exchange silver taels for Qin Datou, and the days of the casino Qinglou in the capital these days are not easy. Let's go straight to him, and he'll be willing. ”

"Give us ten to eight in the palace, and let's give Qin Datou ten to seven."

"Qin Datou is very bold, once this transaction is done, he will definitely contact others to exchange it. At that time, we only need to give Qin Datou, and we won't care about the rest. ”

He Mingli glanced at his son and sighed in his heart, his son was still young and tender.

After his son finished speaking, He Mingli said: "It would be nice if it was so simple, if it was so simple, the palace would not be looking for us, which of the Dongchang Jinyi guards can't do it?" ”

He Shengming was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What does that palace mean?" ”

Waving his hand, He Mingli knew that He Shengming couldn't say this matter too carefully, and after thinking about it, He Mingli told He Shengming about the interesting selection of his daughter to enter the palace in the palace.

He Shengming was stunned for a moment, and then his body trembled, this is a big deal!

"The palace promised such a future, but it wasn't for our He family to find Qin Datou." He Mingli opened his mouth and said: "This is to ask our He family to be in front." ”

"Do it under the banner of our He family, and let everyone know that our He family can get silver coins."

"Attract nobles, attract wealthy businessmen, and prepare for the opening of the port in Shandong."

He Mingli knew the meaning of the palace, so that everyone could see the benefits, see the benefits he got from the sea trade, and see that the things he bought from overseas could go to the Internal Affairs Office to exchange for silver coins.

Will these people willingly give their own money? Of course not, they will definitely rush to the port to do maritime trade. Buy goods with your own money and sell them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

I don't know how many arrows are carved in the palace, in short, they are interlocking, which makes people dizzy.

He Shengming nodded suddenly, it turned out that this was the case, and it made sense. Then it's really not possible to find Qin Datou for this matter, and Qin Datou can hide it for a while, but he can't hide it for a lifetime.

How many big people are in the capital, they asked Qin Datou, he Qin Datou dared not to say, it seems that he is still tender!

"So what do we do?" He Shengming looked at his father and asked.

"Find someone!" He Mingli said lightly: "Go and contact our business partners in the capital, find those who have people behind them, you can do it, we will not refuse to come." ”

He Shengming said a little nervously: "In the future, if something happens, they will hate us." ”

"You think your sister is so easy to enter the palace!" He Mingli put the teacup on the table and said loudly: "This is the guarantee given by the palace, once your sister enters the palace, they can still retaliate against us!" ”

"For some silver, are you stupid for them? Besides, if they want to do sea trade, they don't have to be helped by our He family. ”

has been in business for so long, He Mingli has long understood that you have strength, and everything else is not a problem. You don't have the strength, wealth is the original sin. Why some people in the He family study and some cultivate and study, it is not to consolidate their position.

In the place of the Ming Dynasty, the way for the gentry to grow was actually very simple.

On the one hand, train the children of your own family to be officials, and to be high-ranking officials, the bigger the better. On the one hand, it is necessary to train people from one's own family to enter the locality, whether it is to be a magistrate or a magistrate, in a word, to stabilize the basic situation of the locality.

Then it is to look up, help the township in the poor years, and pay the family in the rich years.

From generation to generation, the strength of the family is getting stronger and stronger. This is the case in the He family, some people in the family are big officials, and many of the children of the side branches are Xu officials.

In the local township, the prestige is also high, and there are people in the central area.

Now when it is time for the He family to go out, when it comes to the matter of the He family's growth, naturally they can't retreat.

"I'm going back tomorrow, going back to contact the matter of sea trade, and this time I'm going to try to see Li Dan's envoy." He Mingli opened his mouth and said to He Shengming: "Buying things is also the key. ”

"The palace doesn't want us to exchange a bunch of silver, the court wants us to buy more things."

"I'll leave the matter of exchanging silver here in the capital to you, and I'll let the chief steward stay here to help you." Speaking of this, He Mingli's expression also became serious.

"This time for our He family, it is a big opportunity to do a good job, and it will soar from then on."

"If you don't do it well, the disaster of destruction is imminent, you have to understand."

He Shengming nodded, he was not an indiscriminate person, so he naturally knew what this time meant to the He family: "Dad, don't worry, the child knows what to do." ”

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun listened to Zhang Whale's words, and nodded: "Just keep an eye on it, let's see what they can do!" ”

"Yes, Emperor!" Zhang Whale replied respectfully.

Walking to the window and glancing at the weather, Zhu Yijun slowly said, "The wind is blowing!" ”

Originally, the hottest topic in the capital was the cultivation of the Great Ming Law, but now it has been replaced by another topic, that is, the exchange of silver coins. With the purchase and use of silver coins by the imperial court, silver coins were used for the salaries of officials and the army, and silver coins were already circulating in the capital.

In addition to silver coins, copper coins are also loved by everyone, and copper coins have many benefits compared to copper coins.

Beautiful and generous, durable, and acceptable, but the silver is not allowed to circulate, so the exchange of silver coins has become a very urgent matter, you must know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs now only accepts silver coins.

It was difficult to exchange silver coins, which led to the appreciation of silver coins, and silver was not allowed to be used, so silver coins were naturally in short supply.

At this time, a news spread in the circle of Shuntianfu that a merchant called the He family could exchange silver coins, but the price was ten to seven, and ten taels of silver were exchanged for seven silver coins.
