Compared with Zhang Jian, Duanjun Wang Zaiyi, the difference can not be counted in the Daoli, this is the prime minister, Shi Shiran came to Shanghai on a steamer, and immediately fell into the entertainment with officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Zhang Jian was not in a hurry, just quietly waiting for Zaiyi's drama to be performed in Shanghai.
Finally, after three days of ushering in and sending off, after hearing enough of the flattery of the local officials, Zai Yi finally settled down, but after a circle, tens of thousands of taels of silver have been obtained, and I am afraid that there are few people in China who have more means than him in this regard.
Zhang Jian didn't bring any of his entourage, just called a rickshaw and sent himself to the mansion where Zai Yi was staying.
At this time, the mansion had already been surrounded by heavy troops.
As soon as Zhang Jian came to the door, the guards at the door stopped Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian took out a silver ingot from his arms and said, "Mr. Qian, I have worked hard, this is a little meaning, please take it and buy some wine to drink." ”
At that time, the guard's eyes were worth it, and he said with a smile: "This lord, I don't know what you are doing here?" ”
Zhang Jian smiled and said: "Mr. Qian, please give a call to the prince of Tongyuduan, and say that the old people of the court came to visit during the Jiawu period, and please see him." ”
The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, old man, please wait, I'll give you a good answer, I don't know if the old prince will meet you." ”
Zhang Jian nodded, waiting here for a response.
In the mansion, Duanjun Wang Zaiyi heard the report of the guards, and his brows furrowed tightly. Who is this?
Suddenly, Zai Yi's heart was shocked, the old man in the court during the first Wu period? Isn't it Zhang Jian and Zhang Jizhi? He is the top three jinshi in the first Wu period, the champion of Jinke hand-picked by the Queen Mother, this guy came over at such a sensitive time, is this crazy?
Zai Yi asked urgently: "Let me ask you, did that person bring anyone with him?" ”
The guard hurriedly replied: "The old prince, just one person, came by rickshaw, and no one followed." ”
Zai Yi said in a deep voice: "Okay, you will go down to the account office to get fifty taels of silver in a while, and today's matter is definitely not allowed to be spread outside, otherwise, I will tell you to move your head, do you understand?" ”
The guard was startled and quickly knelt down: "Old prince, don't worry, I will definitely forget about this matter completely!" ”
Zai Yi said: "Go, which old gentleman invited me over!" ”
In a moment, Zhang Jian came to Zai Yi's room, and Zai Yi sat on the sofa waiting for him.
Zhang Jian hugged his fists and said: "Hahaha, old prince, you and I have been good for a few years." ”
Zai Yi stood up from the sofa and said, "Mr. Ji Zhi, TOEFL, TOEFL, thanks to the grace of Lafayette, this king is doing well, I don't know if Mr. Ji Zhi came here at this time, what advice does he have?" ”
Zhang Jian smiled and said: "Old prince, no matter what you say, you can be regarded as my elder, and my mentor Mr. Weng has been in the same dynasty for many years, as a junior, isn't it natural to visit you?" ”
Zai Yi laughed and said, "Okay! Ji Zhi, you have a heart. ”
The two of them did it on the sofa, and Zai Yi said in a low voice: "Ji Zhi, to be honest, is this time to come to create a matter of the General Administration and the Ship Administration Bureau, I already know, Zhang Yi appointed you as the Minister Plenipotentiary, and I am the supreme representative of the Qing Dynasty, basically this matter, that is, the two of us have the final say, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly." ”
Zhang Jian smiled faintly, took out a stub from his arms, handed it to Zai Yi, and said, "Old prince, if you don't pay respect, please take a look!" ”
Zai Yi took a look, stood up from the sofa in shock, and said, "Ji Zhi, you, you ......"
Zhang Jian smiled and said: "Old prince, don't worry, God knows this matter, you know and I know, otherwise I wouldn't have concealed my name under the interrogation of the guards, the 100,000 taels of silver Shengjing Bank promissory note can be cashed directly in every city branch of Shengjing Bank in China, I hope that in the acquisition, the old prince will have to help a lot." ”
At this time, Zai Yi had already reacted, and he sneered a little in his heart, pretending to shirk and said: "Ji Zhi, I'm afraid that this matter is not good, as a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, how can I sit down and do such a thing that harms the public and private interests, not to mention that there are many ministers in the court staring at it, once something goes wrong......"
Zhang Jian smiled and said: "Old prince, now you can be said to be in power, under one person, above ten thousand, once the eldest brother ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, you can be the regent of the imperial father, who in the world still dares to stab you in the back?" And after the deed is completed, we will take out another 300,000 taels of silver as your reward, how about it, this heavy gift is okay? ”
Zai Yi was shocked, the previous 100,000 taels of silver was just taken aback, he Zai Yi was not uninformed, but this time it was different, 400,000 taels of silver before and after, it would be a huge amount of money!
Zai Yi smiled bitterly: "Ji Zhi, what you said is right, this is really a heavy gift, it's just that such a heavy gift is hot to hold, even if Pu Jun has become the eldest brother now, but after all, he has not completed the establishment of the reserve, has not ascended the throne, and is still facing the pressure of ministers from various countries, at this time, where do I dare to stretch out my hand indiscriminately." ”
Zhang Jian smiled and said: "Old prince, this matter is very simple, but you need to verify the assets, report some more losses, and press the value of the assets, our matter, even if it is done, we will not make it difficult for you, we only need to control the total value within five million taels, how about it, you just do such a little effort, this 400,000 taels is your personal, and our president has promised that in the matter of the reserve, we will do our best to help you lobby the ministers of various countries, You also know that our president has a huge influence in Germany and the United States, and with him in the background, you will save a lot of trouble in trying to win the throne. Zai Yi was excited, picking up 10,000 taels of silver, didn't he come over this time to make a fortune, Zhang Jian actually gave him 10,000 taels directly, who else in the world can be so generous, and then find a way to make a fortune from it, you can easily get a million taels of money! Zai Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since that's the case, this king should go!" ”
