Zhang Weixian sat respectfully on the chair, quietly waiting for his grandfather to speak.

This time Zhang Weixian couldn't go with him in the Northwest Battle, which made him a little regretful, but the British Gong Zhang Rong didn't care very much. His own family is not vigorous in the first place, and this grandson does not have to go to the battlefield to fight for fame, so it's good.

"Got the newspaper?" Zhang Rong looked at Zhang Weixian and said with a smile.

"Yes, I've seen it!" Zhang Weixian nodded and replied, although his grandfather was a little stingy when he was young, Zhang Weixian knew that his grandfather was an old fox and saw things very clearly.

Nodding, Zhang Rong smiled and said, "What do you think?" ”

"I'm afraid it's going to make a lot of noise this time!" Zhang Weixian said cautiously: "The capital is not Daxing!" ”

What is the capital? It's under the Imperial City, and you don't know who will hit a brick thrown at this place. If there is a buying and selling shop in the capital, can it be a small household? Many ministers in the DPRK and China are not able to do it.

This place has long been occupied, and you can't even get into it when a civil official is promoted.

Honorable and noble, those are all rampant lords, who can afford to provoke them!

"The emperor has slashed Xungui in the matter of salt administration, and now he wants to cut the shop again, I'm afraid something will happen!" Zhang Weixian said with some worry: "They may not do anything on the surface, but it is still no problem to embarrass the tax department." ”

Zhang Rong nodded, stroked his beard and said, "Yes, I can see it." ”

"That Li Zhongxing returned to Beijing, and he pressed a lot of silver, all of which was Yanzheng's money, and most of this money was the money that Xungui and Xunqi used to sell salt." Zhang Rong sighed and said: "The last time I knocked on Xining Hou, everyone didn't dare to move!" ”

Speaking of the former Xining Hou and the current Xining Bo, Zhang Rong suddenly said: "Your marriage has been set, and you have made less trouble recently, so you can get married with peace of mind." ”

Zhang Rong is not young anymore, and he has long thought about holding his grandson, which is much more important than other messy things.

"Yes, Grandpa!" Zhang Weixian hurriedly agreed, and there was a lot of expectation in his heart.

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Rong said with a smile: "Don't always think about messy things, our emperor is much smarter than you." Look at it! There will be news soon, and there will be no shortage of preferential treatment for the nobles and relatives. ”

Knocking and grinding the nobles and relatives, this kind of thing has been done by emperors in all dynasties.

But the emperors of the past dynasties also knew that the nobles and relatives were the basic plates, and this plate could not be messed up. Now the emperor is raising the governor's palace of the five armies and establishing a martial arts hall, and his thoughts are clear. The emperor is just dissatisfied with the noble and depraved nobles and relatives, and he doesn't want to beat them to death with a stick.

Zhang Weixian nodded: "Yes, grandpa, my grandson knows." ”

Just as Zhang Rong was about to say something, someone from outside suddenly came in to report.

"Guogong, there is a person outside who asks to see him, saying that it is Li Zhongxing of the Internal Affairs Office."

Zhang Rong was stunned for a moment, then stroked his beard with a smile, turned his head and said to Zhang Weixian: "You go, go and pick him in." ”

Zhang Weixian was stunned for a moment, and went to pick it up himself? Of course he knows the head of the Internal Affairs Office, isn't it that Li Zhongxing, he mentioned it just now, but he doesn't need to pick it up himself! This identity is not equal!

Seeing the appearance of his grandson, Zhang Rong said angrily: "If you want to go, you can go, see what you see." ”

Zhang Weixian had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the door, the expression on his face was still very tangled.

When he came to the door, Zhang Weixian saw Li Zhongxing at a glance, and his face had already changed to a smile: "Manager Li's visit, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome!" ”

Li Zhongxing looked at Zhang Weixian, was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, and hurriedly arched his hand: "I'm tired of the little grandfather to greet him, I'm sorry for Li, I'm sorry for Li!" ”

In front of the British public, no one in Daming could consciously be superior, and Li Zhongxing didn't dare to do it, so he hurriedly bowed down to salute Zhang Weixian.

"Manager Li, grandpa is waiting for us inside, let's go in!" Zhang Weixian made a gesture of please and said with a smile.

Li Zhongxing nodded hurriedly, and the two of them entered the British mansion with a smile and a smile.

When he came to the lobby, Zhang Rong was already waiting here, and when he saw Li Zhongxing saluting, Zhang Rong smiled and waved his hand: "Manager Li, don't be polite, sit down and say!" After speaking, he said to Zhang Weixian: "Give tea to Mr. Li." ”

After a few polite words, Li Zhongxing said directly to the point: "Xiaguan has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, this time I asked for Grandpa Guo." ”

Zhang Rong looked at Li Zhongxing and said with a smile: "Mr. Li has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

"That's the case, the northwest has been pacified, and His Majesty wants to stabilize the northwest, so he ordered the Internal Affairs Office to find a way, and the Internal Affairs Office has made a woolen material and woolen yarn, and this matter must be known to the grandfather."

"So the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked His Majesty to build a woolen mill in the northwest to purchase wool and make wool and wool."

"Your Majesty's intention is to establish ten woolen mills in the northwest, but the strength of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is limited, and it is really beyond the power to establish ten woolen mills. The British government has been loyal and good for generations, and he is in charge of the bull's ear of the Ming Dynasty, and the lower officials think of the British government. ”

The British Duke listened to Li Zhongxing's words about this matter, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was no bored expression on his face, and he quietly listened to Li Zhongxing.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhang Rong said with a smile: "I see, this matter is easy to say, since it is the development of the northwest, then the British government should fully support it." If you want money or people, Master Li can speak, and my British government has nothing to say. ”

"So good, so good!" Li Zhongxing hurriedly smiled and said, "After the lower officials find all ten families, we will discuss how to act at that time." ”

Zhang Rong smiled and nodded: "Okay, everything will be done according to what Master Li said!" ”

"The lower official still has to go to the Dingguo Mansion, so he will leave!" With that, Li Zhongxing bowed down and walked outside.

"Send Master Li for me!" Zhang Rong turned his head to Zhang Weixian and said.

"Yes, Grandpa!" Zhang Weixian hurriedly bowed and replied, and then sent Li Zhongxing out of the British mansion.

After sending Li Zhongxing away, Zhang Weixian turned back again, and said to Zhang Rong with some doubts: "Grandpa, what does this Li Zhongxing mean?" ”

"Him?" Zhang Rong waved his hand: "This is not what he meant, this is what His Majesty meant, this wool textile has a big profit!" Can't you eat it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Of course not, this is the emperor looking for silver for Xungui. ”

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago, Your Majesty will not cut the honorable."

Zhang Weixian frowned, and asked with some incomprehension: "But why bother?" Yan Zheng took it over there, and it's coming back here, this and this! ”

"What this, this!" Zhang Rong glared at Zhang Weixian, and said angrily: "Are you stupid to practice martial arts in Beijing, how did Yanzheng's money come from?" That's embezzlement, that's the emperor's money. ”

"Can this woollen mill be the same? That's Xungui earning his own money. ”

"Go back and think about it, I can't figure out that I don't have to eat at night!" Saying this, Zhang Rong stood up, flicked his sleeves angrily and left, leaving Zhang Weixian alone to meditate.

"Embezzled money, money earned by yourself!" Zhang Weixian's eyes became brighter and brighter as he read these two sentences.

Although the news of the registration of the business certificate in Shuntianfu spread quickly, except for the clamor of some civil officials, Xungui's side seemed very quiet. Outsiders don't know that the rumor among the nobles is to go to the northwest to get a handful.

Everyone knows that the mutual market has made a lot of money, but the mutual market has always been controlled by Jin merchants.

It is impossible for the nobles in the capital to participate in it, and they can't make anything from Fei Tingda, so the nobles naturally don't do it. But this time it was different, and even fools could see the profits of the woolen mills.

As the so-called clothing, food, housing and transportation, clothing is at the forefront, and there is a lot of profit in it.

The woolen mill uses wool, no mulberry trees, no silkworms, and the cost is very low!

What is the price of raw silk in Jiangnan, this woolen mill will definitely be able to catch fire and make a lot of money. How can these nobles not be concerned? Everyone also understands that this is a benefit given by the emperor, after all, when Li Zhongxing passed the word, he went around and around, but the word arrived.

Ten places, one in the British Mansion, one in the Dingguo Mansion, three in the Northwest, and one in the Dingbei Hou, this is going to six.

The remaining four, you can imagine how fierce the competition is, when it was rumored that there was also a place in the Gongshun Hou Mansion, the nobles completely understood. The Marquis of Dingbei is Qi Jiguang, and the Marquis of Gongshun is Wu Weiying's father.

This is all a meritorious service in the northwest this time, and the attitude that the emperor wants to show is also very obvious.

Those who have contributed to the country not only have officials to do, but also have money to earn, and those who eat and wait for death, then wait for death!

The nobles have mixed joys and sorrows, but they can't make trouble if they want to, and the matter of Xiningbo is vivid, which makes many people feel aggrieved. However, new news soon came out that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was preparing to establish a wool textile sales association.

In imitation of the salt administration, the sale of wool textiles was divided into pieces and auctioned according to the region.

As soon as this news came out, Xun Gui, who felt that he could not get the quota of the textile factory, immediately heard the news, and knew that this time the scribing was according to the province. How profitable is it to grasp the right to sell wool textiles in a province?

The nobles are all busy going to the northwest to make money, who cares about the rest.

The business license is the business license, and the shops in my own house are not a big deal.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news of the Northwest Woolen Mill soon spread, and countless people began to suffer from pink eye. Xungui went to the northwest to make a fortune, this is to compete with the people for profit, what is this called?

For a while, the excerpt of the impeachment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was sent to Ouchi, and Li Zhongxing was suddenly pushed to the forefront.

In fact, civil officials are not stupid, Li Zhongxing's internal affairs office made it clear that it was for the emperor to make money, and the emperor paid back the money, and the money was taken away by the emperor, what should I do with these people? That's not going to work!

The matter is getting bigger and bigger, and the whole capital can be said to be boiling with public opinion.
