Chapter 844 from Yangzhou

Because Zhang Zhijie was busy and dizzy, he didn't think about this problem, although Xu Jiaying was already aware, but he didn't show any sound, so Zhang Zhijie was still stupid, and he didn't know that he had been exposed.

Emperor Zhengde's wedding was held as scheduled, and it was not at all as grand as the big wedding that year, but Emperor Zhengde felt very satisfied, and finally experienced what ordinary people's marriages are like!

Compared with a big wedding with strong political overtones, Emperor Zhengde's marriage to Liu Ji is more like an ordinary person marrying a daughter-in-law, which makes Emperor Zhengde feel more at home.

Emperor Zhengde was newly married to Yan'er, and Zhang Zhijie could finally be busy with his own affairs, as Zhang Zhijie expected, the Dingguo Mansion still supported Zhang Zhijie as always, but the British Mansion politely refused, saying that he had no interest in going to sea.

This made Zhang Zhijie a little regretful, and several other royal relatives were also interested, but they thought of not giving up the money to take the shares. felt that there was opposition from the government and the opposition, and Zhang Zhijie definitely needed support, so he thought about taking advantage of the fire to rob! Zhang Zhijie refused without hesitation.

Even if they give out the money, Zhang Zhijie still has to think about it, but as a result, they still want to take dry shares without money, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

The first time I went to sea, I had to form a fleet, I had to buy goods, and the risk was not small, if only the Dingguo Mansion and the Wei Mansion joined, I was really nervous. However, Zhang Zhijie is not in a hurry, because he firmly believes that there will be people who will take the bait.

In fact, as he thought, there was an uninvited guest from Yangzhou who came all the way from Yangzhou to the Hou Mansion this day. Zhang Zhijie was a little playful with the worship post, and the worship post came from Wu Zhongcheng in Yangzhou.

Wu Zhongcheng is a famous salt merchant in Yangzhou, when Emperor Zhengde passed by Yangzhou, he stayed in Wu Zhongcheng's garden, and Zhang Zhijie had a love of incense.

It seems that the news that he is going to form a fleet to go to sea has been spreading in the south, otherwise this post would not have appeared.

Zhang Zhijie must have wanted to see it, and the person who came naturally could not be Wu Zhongcheng, but a middle-aged scribe named Yang Lizong.

This Yang Lizong is Wu Zhongcheng's confidant, and he often goes in and out of all kinds of luxurious places in Yangzhou, but it is the first time to enter and exit such a powerful place in Beijing.

Although the Hou Mansion is not as luxurious and exquisite as the mansion in Yangzhou, it has a different atmosphere, which can bend people's backbones, which is the atmosphere of power.

was led all the way into a living room, and Yang Lizong raised his eyes and saw a gentle and elegant young man, with a heroic and extraordinary look. Yang Lizong immediately understood that this was the young admiral who leaned towards the government and the opposition, although he saw a gentle smile on his face, Yang Lizong still felt a chill in his heart, and a pressure from the superior came to his face.

Yang Lizong cheered up and entered the living room, and immediately said deeply: "Student, Yang Lizong, the son of Yangzhou Mansion, has seen Lord Admiral!" The student came to visit the Admiral on behalf of Wu Zhongcheng, and was glad to hear that the Admiral was happy, and congratulated the Lord Hou, Mrs., and the Admiral! ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Wu Yuanwai is really polite, when the Japanese governor accompanied the emperor through Yangzhou, he disturbed Wu Yuanwai a lot, but he also talked with Wu Yuanwai very happily!" Please also ask Yang Xiaolian to convey the governor's gratitude! ”

Yang Lizong bowed down and said: "The student must convey it on his behalf!" ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Please sit, come, watch the tea!" ”

Yang Lizong bowed down and thanked him when he heard this, and felt very ironed in his heart, but he didn't expect that the famous Admiral was a person from Corporal Lixian. But he only sat on half of his ass, and he didn't dare to sit all down.

"Lord Admiral, in fact, this time in Beijing, in addition to Daoxi on behalf of Wu Yuan, the students also want to ask Lord Admiral about something, I heard that the imperial court is going to organize a fleet to go to sea, I don't know if it's true or not?" Yang Lizong said respectfully.

Sure enough, he came to sea for the sake of going to sea, Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "This matter is true!" Now that the emperor and the cabinet have agreed, the governor is going to the Longjiang Shipyard to supervise the construction of the Fu ship in the near future. However, although this time the sea has been approved by the imperial court, it is not an official business! ”

Yang Lizong was overjoyed when he heard it, although it was spread everywhere, but it was still recognized and affirmed by a big man like Zhang Zhijie. As for what Zhang Zhijie said about not doing business, it makes people even more happy to hear it, if it is for business, who wants to mix it!

Yang Lizong listened and said respectfully: "Lord Admiral, I heard that this time the ship was built and went to sea, and the imperial court did not allocate the silver?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Yes, the treasury has been tight recently, so the imperial court did not allocate silver, but the governor raised the silver himself, and after going to sea, the governor himself brought some goods as funds!" ”

Yang Lizong was overjoyed when he heard this, this has been said euphemistically, going to sea is for trade, Yang Lizong said respectfully: "Dare to ask Lord Admiral, does the imperial court only plan to go to sea once or twice, or will it continue?" ”

Zhang Zhijie laughed when he heard this: "The governor took the trouble to build a lucky ship and form a fleet, if he only went to sea once or twice, then what is the governor busy with?" ”

Yang Lizong listened to the long body and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Admiral, this time I entered Beijing Wu Yuanwai specially instructed the bachelor, if Lord Admiral raised funds to form a fleet, Wu Yuanwai is willing to contribute to Lord Admiral's fleet!" ”

Zhang Zhijie was silent when he heard this, the salt merchants in Yangzhou have always been famous for their wealth and luxury, and he didn't expect that the salt merchants in Yangzhou would be interested in going to sea. He thought that those who would be interested in going to sea would be wealthy people in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong who did not participate in maritime smuggling.

However, there are some things that Zhang Zhijie is not clear, the salt merchants in Yangzhou are divided into foreign Hui merchants and Jin merchants, and now the Hui merchants are gradually tightening, and the Jin merchants are gradually gaining the upper hand. However, Wu Zhongcheng heard the news and sent people north, on the one hand, of course, because he knew Zhang Zhijie, he could get online with Zhang Zhijie, and he could get close to the water, and on the other hand, because he had some plans of his own, of course, this is a later story.

Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Oh? The benefits of Yangzhou's salt transportation are enough to make Wu Yuanwai rich in the world, why is Wu Yuanwai still interested in going to sea? ”

Yang Lizong said with a smile: "Lord Admiral said that he was joking, how can there be a rich world!" The salt transportation business is not easy to do these days! The Admiral's daring to go to sea is really admirable, Wu Yuanwai has always admired the Admiral's vision, so I want to contribute something to the Admiral's fleet, the Admiral, Wu Yuanwai is really full of sincerity! ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled when he heard this: "Full of sincerity? Wu Yuanwai was able to send Yang Xiaolian north to the capital as soon as possible, and the governor also understood that Wu Yuanwai was full of sincerity! ”

Yang Lizong smiled when he heard this: "Lord Admiral, what kind of sincerity is this, please wait for a while!" ”
