Chapter 355: Make money

Who is Gu Dayong? That is one of the Eight Tigers who will call for wind and rain in the Zhengde Dynasty in the future, and he is the terrifying Admiral of Xichang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

What he said is naturally of reference value.

As eunuchs serving the East Palace, Gu Dayong and Liu Jin are undoubtedly the most trusted people of the little prince. From the current point of view, Gu Dayong is even better.

People who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, and Xie Shen and Gu Dayong's friendship is for long-term planning.

The political system of the Ming Dynasty determines that if you want to mix at the top level, it is impossible to become the first assistant of the cabinet without the help of internal supervisors. Taking a step back, even if there were those who did not cooperate with the eunuchs to achieve the position of Zaifu, it would be difficult to implement their political ideas.

The proposed approval of the ticket is a unique product of the Ming Dynasty and is indispensable.

Therefore, once there is a conflict between the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, it will definitely be Mars hitting the earth.

Xie Shen thanked Gu Dayong and left the palace to return to the mansion.

This time he entered the palace not only in front of the Son of Heaven, but also won the trust of the little prince, which is really cost-effective.

When he returned to the mansion and changed into court clothes under Shui Yun's service, Xie Shen closed his eyes and recuperated.

The current situation is very good, Li Guang has fallen, Zhang Heling has been tied, and the traitors in the DPRK and China have no leader for a while.

In addition, Emperor Hongzhi deeply reflected after the earthquake, and swept away the slackness, and his diligence in governing the government was even better than at the beginning of his accession to the throne.

Looking at the cabinet again, there is a combination of the old and the Chinese, with pillars like Xu Pu and Liu Jian, as well as young Zhuang factions like Li Dongyang and Xie Qian.

The only pity is that there is no pool of young talents.

This is also determined by a specific historical era, if there is a 20-year-old pavilion elder, the princes of the court and the central government will not be able to scold again and again.

Therefore, the qualifications that should be boiled still have to be boiled. Although Xie Shenjian is in the heart of the emperor and is deeply respected by the East Palace, if he can't do a certain position, it is still very difficult to enter the cabinet.

The imperial history of the four products is not low, and then there is the deputy imperial envoy and the imperial history of the capital.

If you can do the imperial history, it can be regarded as a member of the ministry with the same name as the six books.

Of course, the ideal situation is to be a waiter in the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy. This is almost the standard position before entering the cabinet, as long as you do this, it will be a matter of course to enter the cabinet.

If you want to display your political ambitions, it is impossible not to be in the cabinet and not to be in the cabinet.

Of course, even if he is as strong as Zhang Jiangling, he has not completed the reform completely, so it is really impossible to say about politics.

Shui Yun rubbed Xie Shen's shoulders and said, "Master, Ji Shengchang's dividends have been delivered, a total of 100,000 taels of silver." ”

"Ahem......"

Rao is Xie Shen was full of determination, and he was really surprised to hear this number.

30,000 Qing prefects, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

is to govern the herdsmen for three years, and the total local filial piety is only 100,000 taels. And Ji Shengchang's dividends for half a year are 100,000 taels, which is simply terrible.

Although Xie Shen knew that the money would come quickly, he never thought that it would be so fast. Sure enough, the rise of Jin merchants at the end of the Ming Dynasty made sense.

During the Hongji Zhengde period, silver did not have a large-scale inflow, so the purchasing power was still very strong. One tael of silver can almost buy one stone of rice, and in the Wanli period, silver depreciated, but one tael or two of silver can also buy one stone of rice.

The price of land in Jingshi is expensive, but in Xie Shen's hometown of Yuyao, two taels of silver can buy one acre of paddy field. The best shop on the street is only fifty taels of silver.

100,000 taels of silver, this is really a few lifetimes that can't be spent.

"So much silver......

Xie Shen pondered how the silver should be spent. It stands to reason that the most lucrative business is the sale of silk. Do you want to open a silk shop? No, this is too inconsistent with Xie Shen's current identity.

However, it would be good if you could get the royal silk buying business.

This matter was really profitable, and Xie Shen thought about whether to discuss it with Eunuch Deng.

Deng Yuan is now a eunuch with a pen and a pen, and he still has the right to speak on these matters of court procurement.

The cotton cloth of Songjiang, the silk of Suzhou, and the rice grain of Huguang are the most famous things in the Ming Dynasty.

It is not difficult for Xie Shen to take over the cotton cloth, because the cotton planting has been firmly controlled by him, the means of production have been controlled, and he has enough confidence to make finished products.

In the original history, it was not until the Jiajing period that the imperial court changed rice to mulberry and planted mulberry trees on a large scale in Nanzhili, Zhejiang Province, which led to a large-scale reduction in grain production, which led to the large-scale reduction of grain production in Zhejiang Province, and the grain of Nanzhili needed to be transported from Huguang. Daming has also officially changed from Jiangnan to Huguang.

In the Hongzhi Dynasty, Jiangnan was still a grain-producing area. Although Xie Shen has promoted cotton cultivation on a large scale in Zhejiang Province, tidal flat cultivation does not occupy the original cultivated land, and grain production will not be affected.

But Xie Shen didn't want to do anything.

Compared with the price of cloth, the price of silk is really not enough. If you want to do it, you will do the most profitable business, and there is absolutely no reason to get along with money.

It takes a lot of work to buy silk with the royal family, and this is not in a hurry.

But running a cotton cloth business doesn't require much consideration in this regard.

The most used cotton cloth is ordinary people, this is also a big cake, as long as it is cut well, it can make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Xie Shen rushed to Shui Yun and said, "You can also rest for a while and help me call the tiger." ”

Shui Yun nodded and went out of the house to call Chen Hu'er, Xie Shen said to Chen Hu'er in a deep voice: "You go to the street to inquire about the famous cloth shops in the Jingshi, and then ask about the market." ”

Chen Hu'er said dumbly: "Master, do you want to buy cloth?" Now the price of cloth is not expensive, and it is just right to buy it. ”

Xie Shen glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "If you are told to go, you will go, where are there so many words." ”

Chen Hu'er scratched her head and said with a smile: "The little one will go." ”

After Chen Hu'er left, Xie Shen got up and walked outside the house.

Shui Yun frowned and said, "Why does the master want to go out again." ”

Xie Shen waved his hand and said, "I'll go to Lord Wang's mansion and come back later." ”

In Wang Hua's mansion, the old man Wang Hua was chatting with his eldest son Wang Shouren, and when he heard that Xie Shen was coming, he asked the housekeeper to invite him in.

As soon as Xie Shen entered the hall and saw that Old Man Wang Hua and Wang Shouren were there, he saluted one after another: "I've seen the boss, Brother Yangming." ”

Wang Hua snorted, but Wang Shouren shook his head again and again: "Brother Fool doesn't deserve this ceremony, Jin Xiu is now a member of the fourth rank of the imperial court, and Brother Fool is just a frustrated move, which is really a world of difference." ”

Xie Shen was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

To say that Wang Yangming is also miserable enough. Originally, in history, he took the examination three times before he was admitted to the Jinshi.

Now that the big competition has passed twice, next year will be the year of the examination, and if Wang Yangming does not win again, he should be disheartened by the imperial examination.

Xie Shen comforted: "With Brother Yangming's knowledge, next year's big competition will definitely be a success, and he will be on the emperor list and enter Hanlin." ”

Wang Shouren smiled helplessly: "Jin Xiu is really good at laughing." ”
