As the governor of Xuanda, Zhang Pu didn't drink much that night, and by the time he returned to his temporary trip, he was already a little drunk.

"Master, someone handed over the post!"

The housekeeper said as he handed the towel in his hand to Zhang Pu.

Zhang Pu was stunned, someone handed over the post? Is there still such a person in a place like Datongwei? After taking the towel and wiping his face, Zhang Pu raised his head and asked, "Who?" ”

"It's the steward of the northwest of the Royal Money Village, it seems that his name is Sun Jian, and he came from the capital." The butler thought for a moment and spoke.

From the capital, the steward of the royal bank? Hearing the housekeeper say this, Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but think of Zhang Cheng's words during the day, someone would come to visit him soon, but it was too fast.

"Do you know what's going on with this royal bank?" Zhang Pu looked at the housekeeper and asked with a serious face.

The housekeeper shook his head: "What's going on with the royal money bank, the old slave doesn't know, but what's going on with this bank, the old slave knows." The main business of this money bank is Huitong, which is to put it bluntly, it is to exchange silver. ”

Listening to the old housekeeper's explanation, Zhang Puyi frowned: "Isn't this a matter of businessmen?" So what can be called royal? ”

The old butler couldn't answer this, and the point was that he didn't know how to say it.

After calming down his emotions, Zhang Pu opened his mouth and said, "When will this person named Sun Jian come over?" ”

"Tomorrow!" The housekeeper hurriedly said.

"That official is waiting for him, just to see what is going on with this royal bank." Speaking of which, Zhang Pu is angry, doing business in the name of the royal family, what kind of system, if this matter is true, he would rather not have this official hat, but also impeach.

The next morning, Zhang Pu met Sun Jian in his own line.

When he saw Sun Jian, Zhang Pu was still a little stunned, he didn't expect Sun Jian to be so young. Judging from the grade, he is in his thirties, and the manager of the Northwest of the Royal Bank, this position is not low!

"Xiaguan Sun Jian has seen Lord Zhang!" After Sun Jian saw Zhang Pu, he saluted respectfully.

In fact, seeing Sun Jian wearing an official uniform, Zhang Pu was even more unhappy in his heart, how could a person who is engaged in business and personnel be an official? Zhang Pu nodded, and said with an arrogant attitude: "I don't know what year Master Sun entered school?" ”

This is actually a cross-talk, but what people are thinking about is which year you got the Jinshi.

"Xiaguan Wanli should raise people in Tianfu in the sixth year!" Sun Jian hurriedly said with a smile.

Do you have a background?

Looking at Sun Jian's five-grade official uniform, Zhang Pu felt a little dazzling, you are a person from a high background, and it is the sixth year of Wanli, it has only been seven years, and you are actually wearing a five-grade official uniform, so that those who have been admitted to the Jinshi are embarrassed.

However, people can be officials, this is in line with the rules, in this matter, Zhang Pu knows that he has no way to make it difficult for Sun Jian.

"Lord Sun, this official heard that your royal money bank is a businessman's business?" Zhang Pu looked at Sun Jian and said lightly: "Qianzhuang is Qianzhuang, why did you come to the royal Qianzhuang?" Is it for the sake of royal wealth? ”

When Sun Jian saw Zhang Pu's attitude, he immediately knew that he was afraid that he was going to miscalculate this time.

This Zhang Pu is obviously a person who doesn't buy oil and salt, but Sun Jian knows that he can't turn his face with Zhang Pu, and the smile on his face remains the same, after so many years of doing business, he has never seen any kind of person.

Not only were they scolded, but they were all beaten, and these were nothing.

But in his heart, Sun Jian was ruthless, sooner or later he will let you know how powerful I am, look down on the royal bank, and let you beg me sooner or later.

"My lord misunderstood, this royal money village is naturally called the royal money bank, and it is naturally not a businessman's business, and the official uniform is worn on the humble position." Knowing that it was useless to have the right attitude, Sun Jian simply became humble and not arrogant.

"The royal money bank is mainly made of silver, such as the salt cloth transported from Yangzhou, the bulk trade of the imperial court, these silver coins are all owned by the royal bank."

In fact, Sun Jian knew what was going on with the Royal Money Bank, but it was one thing to know it, and it was another thing to say it. There are some things that can be done but not said, some things that can be said and not done, and what I am doing now is what I can do and cannot say.

As for collecting money for the royal family, Sun Jian sneered even more, and the royal family still needs to collect money.

Not to mention anything else, although the Royal Money Bank is nominally attached to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the purchase of land and shops in the early stage is also paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the Royal Money Bank and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are single-handed, which means that they are not one family.

Anyone who understands knows that sooner or later the Royal Money House will be spun off from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

However, Sun Jian naturally would not tell Zhang Pu about these things, looking at Zhang Pu's attitude, he wanted to get support from Zhang Pu, I am afraid it will not be easy. Sun Jian is not worried, he just needs to tell Zhang Pu's attitude truthfully.

Zhang Pu glanced at Sun Jian, even if Sun Jian said so, he still didn't believe it.

"I hope it's as Master Sun said!" Zhang Pu looked at Sun Jian and said slowly: "This official has been busy with government affairs these days, and his body is a little tired, if there is nothing else, Lord Sun, please go back!" ”

"Then the official will leave!" Sun Jian didn't say anything, bowed and saluted, turned around and retreated.

Looking at Sun Jian's back, Zhang Pu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Those who are fortunate to enter are all traitors!" ”

Leaving the governor's station, the expression on Sun Jian's face suddenly became not very good-looking, looking at Zhang Pu's posture, I am afraid that it will not be easy to do things in Xuanda. Although he is the steward of the northwest of the Royal Money Village, the most important in the northwest is the border town.

My next things and the next important things of the Internal Affairs Office are all in the border town, so you have to be more cautious!

Yangzhou, Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Li Zhongxing put down the teacup in his hand with a smile, and then said: "You are the participants of this Daming Shipping, a total of sixteen, this is the investigation result of the Internal Affairs Office, it is very good, none of them are cheating, the official is very pleased." ”

"From today on, even if our Daming Shipping is built, let's talk about this first business first."

As soon as the sixteen people sitting below heard this, a smile immediately appeared on their faces, this is good news!

"This official has just received a piece of news, I believe you have all heard about it, Qi Shaobao won a big victory in the northwest, killed 100,000 Warat cavalry, and captured Huang Taiji's son Pullik alive, and Huang Taiji was only spared."

"I think what that means, everyone knows in their hearts."

"I am getting stronger and stronger tomorrow, Your Majesty is wise and powerful, needless to say, this official wants to say another thing." Li Zhongxing said with a smile: "What this official wants to say is the reward of the imperial court. ”

"A head is forty taels, and this time the reward of the northwest frontier army is one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver."

"This is not counting the reward of the border generals, the reward of the soldiers alone is 1.2 million taels. Everyone also knows that the poor people in the northwest are poor and lack materials, but when they have money, they always have to buy things. ”

"The first batch of business of our Daming shipping is this one, a business of 1.2 million taels, is it too small for anyone here?"

"Of course, the northwest is pacified, and our trade with the grasslands should begin." Li Zhongxing didn't look at the people below, and said to himself: "There are a lot of good things in Wara!" ”

"War horses, cattle and sheep, they can all make a lot of money, and if you don't say it, you must also understand."

The people below hurriedly replied: "Of course, understood, understood!" “

"Among our sixteen families, there are people in charge of each section, from Yangzhou to Xuanfu, and now this official will talk about your respective responsibilities." Li Zhongxing saw the attitude of the people below and nodded with satisfaction.

"The shopkeeper of Yangzhou Mansion, your task is very simple, that is, to stock up, from cloth to grain, everything you think can be sold in the northwest, all ready, pay for it." Li Zhongxing said with a smile.

"We are all settled in cash, I believe this matter is very easy to do."

"No matter what method you use, within half a month, this official will ask for one million taels of silver. Half a month later, the first batch of goods will be shipped, which is a profitable business, and I know to everyone that time is pressing. ”

"The rest of the shopkeepers, the escort along the way will be handed over to you, is there a problem?"

Among the sixteen families present, most of them were shipping on the canal, otherwise they would not have been able to join the Ming Shipping. Originally, when joining Daming Shipping, many people's attitude was to spend money to buy peace.

Yangzhou City has cut off so many heads, this money is not spent, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful!

Now it's a big list of millions of silver, and I suddenly feel happy and happy.

In fact, although these people from Daming Shipping participated in the auction, they did not spend much money on their qualifications to participate in the auction, unlike those in the salt works and salt shops. I originally thought that the past would be forgotten, and everyone still transported salt, who would have thought that this deal would come so soon.

Daming Shipping is actually more like a large transport team organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which exists in the form of a franchise.

"By the way, this official will introduce to you, this is Yang Bin next to this official, and he will be responsible for Daming shipping in the future." Li Zhongxing smiled and introduced a young man in his thirties beside him: "He is also responsible for this time." ”

"The total share capital of Daming Shipping is 2.3 million taels of silver, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has allocated it to the shipping side, and this time the transaction is your shipment."

With Li Zhongxing's words, everyone's eyes fell on this person named Yang Bin.

Many people recognized that this person had been by Li Zhongxing's side before, but he didn't speak, and looked more like an entourage. No one expected that Daming shipping would be in charge of him, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"Okay, I won't bother you!" After Li Zhongxing introduced Yang Bin, he stood up with a smile and walked outside.

"Congratulations to the lord!"

"Greetings, sir!"

Everyone hurriedly got up to send Li Zhongxing off.

When Li Zhong walked, Yang Bin turned around and said with a smile: "The official has prepared a dinner, and you are invited to sit down, let's talk while eating." ”
