In Zhou's mansion, Zhou Quan and Tian Hongyu sat opposite each other, Zhou Quan looked at Tian Hongyu and said, "Do you know Your Majesty's arrangement?" ”

Tian Hongyu nodded: "Understood!" We have all been put on the table by His Majesty! ”

Zhou Quan sighed and said, "This majesty is shrewd!" Alas! Stealing chickens is not a handful of rice! ”

"Isn't it? So much money has been wasted! Fortunately, His Majesty didn't do anything absolutely and gave us a way out! Tian Hongyu sighed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What do you think of the person in charge of this Bandung Group?" Zhou Quan frowned, and then asked.

"The big proprietor of this group is our saint today, so as long as the Ming Dynasty has it, there is nothing we can't sell, so to speak, the right of this person in charge is still very large, and as long as it is done well, as long as the court fully supports it, the silver will come in like flowing water!" Tian Hongyu was a little drooling.

Zhou Quan nodded: "Not bad!" It's just that this share is a little small, and these forty percent want so many of us to share, and those people in Jiangnan have no less appetite than us! ”

Tian Hongyu said sympathetically: "That's right! Anyway, no matter what, the old man accounts for at least one percent of these forty percent! ”

Zhou Quan pouted and said: "You and I each have one percent, and two percent, do you think the remaining two percent is enough for so many people?" ”

Tian Hongyu sighed and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

Zhou Quan thought for a while and said: "Either give up the small ones and keep a few of us, or apply to Your Majesty again to see if you can get an extra percent, after all, there are so many of us." ”

Tian Hongyu was helpless, "Then let's enter the palace!" ”

Zhou Quan nodded, and then the two of them set off for the palace。。。。。。

"Your Majesty! Zhou Guozhang and Tian Guozhang ask to meet! Cao Huachun said to Chongzhen, who was watching the performance.

"Oh?! It's fast! Declare! Chongzhen raised his head and said.

"Chen Zhou Quan, Chen Tian Hongyu see Your Majesty! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! Zhou Quan and Tian Hongyu saluted at the same time.

"Two national abbots, let's get even!" Chongzhen leaned back on the dragon chair and looked at them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Two people.

"Grandpa Cao! Throne! Chongzhen instructed Cao Huachun.

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun responded, and then quickly brought two chairs, and Zhou Quan and Tian Hongyu did it in turn, looking at Chongzhen.

"Figured it out?" Chongzhen asked with a smile.

Zhou Quan and Tian Hongyu looked at each other, and then Zhou Quan said: "The two ministers have figured it out!" Your Majesty is wise! There are just a few small details that I would like to ask Your Majesty again! ”

"Say it!" Chongzhen leaned comfortably on the dragon chair, squinting his eyes slightly, Zhou Quan looked at Chongzhen, and then fixed his mind: "Your Majesty!" This business is not easy to carry out, first of all, the north, the Mongolian side is fine, but the Tatar side is very controlled by our Han people, it is really difficult to station, and the outbreak of war from time to time will have an impact; First of all, the business of the Japanese side is basically taken over by the Zheng family, and the pirates in the East China Sea are rampant, and we do not have the protection of the sailors, although I heard that Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the imperial court, but we robbed him of his business, whether he is willing to provide us with protection is a problem, followed by the Nanyang countries, the same is a security issue, and the other is that the situation of the Nanyang countries is not very good, and the Yi people control the Nanyang countries, A lot of business is monopolized by them. It's hard to open the situation! ”

Chongzhen's eyes opened slightly: "Since you have all thought of these details, then the solution has also been thought of!" Tell me about it! Listen to it! ”

Zhou Quan looked at Tian Hongyu, Tian Hongyu nodded and said, "Return to Your Majesty!" Since Your Majesty has appointed the two of us as the person in charge, the ministers and the others did not dare to slack off, and thought about each other day and night, and thought of a few ways for Your Majesty's reference! First of all, this north, the Mongolian side is easy to say, it is relatively easy, according to the current development, the imperial court also carried out a mutual market with Lin Dan Khan, I believe it is very beneficial to the development of our business, followed by the Tartars, this is the most troublesome, first of all, to open this situation, the two of them have the courage to beg Your Majesty to allow us to sell food and iron and other military supplies in the early stage, of course, this amount is controlled by Your Majesty, we sell these things because the Tartars are short of these now, so that they will buy them if they need them, We can break into this market, so that the Tartars can see our strength, and when the situation opens, we will enter tea, silk, ceramics and other valuables, which are very popular in the Tartars, and then we will buy ginseng from the Tartars, ** and other best-selling items in Jiangnan, so that we can earn a lot of silver! In addition, the ministers and the other two dared to ask His Majesty to allow us to sell two other things, one is called tobacco, which was discovered by the minister when he was in the south, and after people smoke, they will feel very good, and the minister can not describe it in words, and the minister believes that the rough people of the Tartars cannot resist this temptation, and after they accept the tobacco, we will knock and sell another thing, which is a kind of medicine, if you smoke a little, you can cure the disease, if you smoke too much, you will become addicted, and if you smoke too much, you will languish, and all the functions of the body will decline, and it is very hurtful. Then as long as the Tartar soldiers suck these things, they will lose their combat effectiveness, and the Tartars will not have the strength to wage war, and then our business environment will be much more stable! Tian Hongyu said with a smile.

Chongzhen's eyes widened in surprise after hearing this, and then three words came out: "Poppies? ”

Tian Hongyu was stunned: "Your Majesty is really erudite, this thing was also seen in a pharmacy when the minister was in the south, and that Lang Zhong introduced it to the minister!" Of course, I didn't dare to try! Now it's just a matter of smoking some tobacco and having fun!"

Chongzhen nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" I didn't expect you to have such thoughts! OK! I'm right! But these two things are not allowed to be sold in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the sales of tobacco must be controlled by our group, and the poppies will be destroyed when the Tartars are eliminated in the future, and such things are not allowed to exist in the Ming Dynasty! ”

Zhou Quan and Tian Hongyu looked at each other, and then said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"That's right! The planting distribution and origin of this tobacco and the poppy are all listed for me! Chongzhen said.

"Obey the order!" The two replied.

"Let's talk about the South!" Chongzhen continued.

"The south is first of all the East China Sea, this is very troublesome, at present, we can only cooperate with Zheng Zhilong, there is no other way, unless Your Majesty can send a sailor!" Tian Hongyu looked at Chongzhen and saw that he didn't react, and then continued: "Your Majesty! The situation in the south is mainly the island and the Xiyi, among which the Xiyi is the strongest, then we can do business with them, and the minister can also suggest that we sell some military supplies to the indigenous kingdoms of the Nanyang countries, as well as pirates, let them attack each other, and we will make money in silence! Tian Hongyu curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

"Haha! You two are really bad! I read that right! Yes! That's it! This amount must be controlled, I will send Dongchang and Jinyi Wei to supervise it, and I will also provide you with information! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two said respectfully.

"Excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing you both perform! Chongzhen smiled and said, "As for the problems of the sailor and other imperial courts, I will find a way to solve them, what you have to do is to try your best to earn me silver, as well as food, this is very important, and the other point, our Ming coins must be entered into these trading countries, understand?" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured! We can do it! Zhou Quan and Tian Hongyu replied.

"That's good! Go back and make arrangements! If you need anything, you can tell me! Chongzhen said with a smile.

Zhou Quan looked at Tian Hongyu, and then said, "Your Majesty! The minister has a small request! ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! Chongzhen said.

"Can that profit be divided into another 10%? After all, there are so many people。。。。。。 Zhou Quan was embarrassed.

"Forty percent profit is already a lot! The two of you plus those big businessmen in Jiangnan will divide 30%, and the remaining 10% will be given to other small businessmen, which is enough for you to make a lot of money! Still not greedy enough? Chongzhen pretended to be angry.

"Don't dare!" Zhou Quan and Tian Hongyu said in a cold sweat.

"Don't talk about this! Go back and divide your points! Well done! Well done, I will give you a bonus bag every year! There will be no shortage of money! Do you understand? Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The ministers will work hard! Wait for the resignation! Zhou Quan and Tian Hongyu saluted respectfully and then withdrew.

Watching the two retreat, the corners of Chongzhen's mouth curled and said, "Go!" Summoning Gonggong Zhu! ”

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun responded and went out to summon Wei Zhongxian。。。。。。
