Seeing Yang Lizong's confident appearance, Zhang Zhijie was really a little curious, and he didn't know what sincerity Yang Lizong could bring when he went out in a hurry.

Zhang Zhijie picked up the fragrant tea and tasted it, but he was thinking in his heart, and it didn't take long for Yang Lizong to go and return, holding an inconspicuous wooden box in his hand, bowing down and smiling: "Let the Admiral wait for a long time!" ”

Zhang Zhijie put down the fragrant tea and said with a smile: "It's okay, is this the sincerity of Wu Yuanwai?" It whetted Bento's appetite! ”

Yang Lizong smiled confidently when he heard this: "Lord Admiral's guess is right, this is the sincerity that Wu Yuanwai asked the students to bring to Lord Admiral, please take a look!" With that, Yang Lizong stepped forward respectfully, put the wooden box on Zhang Zhijie's case, and opened the wooden box.

Zhang Zhijie always thought that the sincerity that Yang Lizong said must be some rare treasure. Zhang Zhijie thought to himself that he had seen the world, what kind of treasures did he have at home? That's why he was a little curious, what rare treasures did Wu Zhongcheng, a big salt merchant in Yangzhou, send?

Whether to accept Zhang Zhijie or not is still hesitating, the wooden box is opened, but there is no treasure shining as Zhang Zhijie thought, it is all paper, stacks of paper!

It turned out to be a box of silver tickets! Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but squint his eyes, this is really full of sincerity, although I don't know how much silver this is! But apparently, no less!

Yang Lizong also looked very shocked, bowed down and said: "Lord Admiral, this is Yang Yuanwai's sincerity, one million taels of silver!" Support adults to build ships and go to sea! ”

Although there was a little speculation in my heart, I was still very shocked when I heard Zhang Zhijie! A million taels of silver! This is definitely a big deal, even more generous than Zhang Zhijie!

Zhang Zhijie never thought that it would be so sincere! Zhang Zhijie was a little puzzled in his heart, could it be that the salt merchants in Yangzhou have become rich to this extent? Compared with the salt merchants in Yangzhou, it is not trivial!

Zhang Zhijie sighed: "Everyone in the world has heard of the wealth of Yangzhou salt merchants, and it really deserves its name!" ”

Yang Lizong smiled when he heard this: "My lord said that he was joking, although Yangzhou salt merchants are indeed famous all over the world, it is impossible to come up with a million taels of silver so easily!" This amount of money was actually made up by Wu Yuanwai with a lot of effort! ”

Zhang Zhijie listened to it and thought about it carefully, it was really possible that this was the case, if Wu Zhongcheng, a salt merchant, could easily take out a million taels of silver, it would be too sensational!

Presumably, Wu Zhongcheng took out this million taels of silver, at least he would have to break his muscles and bones, and maybe even more than that! But how could Wu Zhongcheng be so keen on maritime affairs?

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Wu Yuanwai's sincerity really moved Ben Du, and even a little frightened, this sincerity is too big, too heavy!" Ben Du was a little curious, how could Wu Yuanwai be so confident in going to sea because he was in salt? Truth be told, the Doge didn't have a lot of faith either! ”

Who's to say that's not the case? Even Yang Lizong himself once carefully persuaded Wu Zhongcheng, how could Wu Zhongcheng insist, and Yang Lizong was also very helpless!

Yang Lizong smiled a little bitterly: "Actually, the students don't know Wu Yuanwai's mind very well, but I just heard Wu Yuanwai once say that this is the dowry prepared by Wu Yuanwai for Miss Wu!" ”

Zhang Zhijie, who was originally drinking tea, heard this and couldn't help but squirt out! This million taels of silver is a dowry? What the hell is this?

It's no wonder that Zhang Zhijie lost his temper, because when he thinks of Wu Zhongcheng, he has to think of the enthusiastic little girl of Wu Zhongcheng's family! The little girl kept clamoring to marry Zhang Zhijie, which made Zhang Zhijie very embarrassed.

Now Yang Lizong mentioned again that this is the dowry prepared by Wu Zhongcheng for the little girl, and Zhang Zhijie is strange if he doesn't spray it after hearing it!

Seeing Zhang Zhijie's appearance, Yang Lizong was also a little embarrassed, he also knew about Wu Zhongcheng's daughter, and he was a little fan of Zhang Zhijie! When Zhang Zhijie came to Yangzhou with Emperor Zhengde, Miss Wu chased Zhang Zhijie and cried and shouted that she wanted to marry Zhang Zhijie!

Of course, although Wu Zhongcheng is a famous salt merchant, it would be great if he could climb Zhang Zhijie and marry his daughter into the Hou Mansion! But Miss Wu is just a little too unrestrained, and some are not ashamed! Of course, he dared to slander in his heart, if he said it, Wu Zhongcheng would definitely not be able to spare him!

Yang Lizong said embarrassedly: "The specific students don't know, there is a letter written by Wu Yuanwai to Lord Admiral!" ”

Zhang Zhijie found that there was still a letter in this box of silver tickets, Zhang Zhijie was dazzled by this thick silver ticket, and then he found the letter!

The letter is very polite, although Yangzhou's salt transportation business is very profitable, but the competition is very fierce, and the means are exhausted, and he only has such a baby daughter, so he doesn't want his daughter to get involved in the salt transportation business in the future, so he wants to plan something else for his daughter!

The letter praised Zhang Zhijie for his unique vision, always capable of what others can't, and kind-hearted, so he wanted to mix with Zhang Zhijie, hoping to be fulfilled, etc., which is generally what it means.

It turned out to be such a dowry, not what he understood, Zhang Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief after reading it, and couldn't help but sigh, Wu Zhongcheng was indeed full of sincerity.

Not only did this million taels of silver seem sincere, but Wu Zhongcheng also said extremely sincerely in the letter, which made it difficult for Zhang Zhijie to refuse. After all, Zhang Zhijie really needs a sum of money to build a fleet, and compared to some people who don't know the roots, Wu Zhongcheng is indeed very suitable.

If someone else rashly sent such a big gift, Zhang Zhijie would have resisted, because Zhang Zhijie would suspect that person's intentions! For example, if you have committed something or offended someone, you want to seek refuge here.

But Zhang Zhijie still knows a lot about Wu Zhongcheng's background, if Wu Zhongcheng hadn't been investigated, who would have dared to let Emperor Zhengde live in Wu Zhongcheng's manor? Especially since there was still the threat of the Cardinal Sect at the beginning!

Although Wu Zhongcheng is in the salt transportation business, he is indispensable for some ruthless methods, but on the whole he is still a good person, and he is also very suitable for Zhang Zhijie's appetite.

However, Zhang Zhijie did not hesitate in his heart, if there were hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the box, Zhang Zhijie would have agreed, but a full million taels made Zhang Zhijie a little hesitant.

If you fail to go to sea, then you will be very fond of Wu Zhongcheng, even if this is a partnership business, you don't owe anything in principle. But Zhang Zhijie's heart will also be unhappy!

Zhang Zhijie hesitated a little and said: "Wu Yuanwai is so sincere, and the governor will not hide it from him, the emperor wants to take the lion's share of this sea profit!" ”
