Chapter 111: Black Girl's Choice

The fourth update is released, where is the monthly pass? ――

Wujin was waiting for this moment, he didn't use Su Hanzhen's relationship when he went to the county government several times to do things, he just wanted to use it at a critical time, now is the time, he no longer concealed it, so he briefly said that he bought and sold land, Su Hanzhen was surprised when he heard it, "Did you earn ten times just by changing the bridge to one way?" ”

"Adults don't think I'm breaking the law, do they?" Wu Jin asked with a smile.

"Nope! No! I didn't say that, it can only show that you are very discerning, the opportunity is very accurate, just like the earliest opening of overseas trade in this dynasty, at that time the vast majority of people thought that the road was long, the road was very dangerous, and they said that they could not make any money, but the first batch of merchants who went to Nanyang made more than ten times the profit, and other big merchants were red-eyed, and they bought ships to recruit people, and overseas trade began to flourish, which can only show that the first batch of people are very far-sighted and courageous, just like you. ”

Su Hanzhen is a decent person, but he is very open-minded as an official, and he is at least better than him gambling by buying and selling land, he didn't take it to heart, he just praised him for his vision, and he asked with a smile: "Then you have made so much money, what are you going to do next?" ”

"My lord, I'm going to open a money bank next, so I want to ask my lord to help me."

"Hmmm! Yes, very aggressive. ”

Su Hanzhen praised and said, "Then how do you want me to help you?" ”

"I want you to keep some of the tax money in my bank."

...... Su Hanzhen didn't speak for a while, he also slowly learned about the financial situation of Donghai County after Weiming became the head of Hucao, the annual tax of Donghai County is about three million taels of silver, of which one percent is Donggong tax silver, these taxes and silver must be released into Beijing before April of the next year, this is the unified regulation of the imperial court, and all counties are the same.

However, generally speaking, each county will keep a year's tax silver, which is called 'pressure treasury', which is mainly used in the vicinity of disasters and famines, so Tokai County also has a deposit of 3 million taels of silver.

But in fact, the imperial court did not explicitly require that it must be stored in the official treasury, so the silver of the county treasury was basically stored in the major banks, which was allowed by the imperial court, and the interest earned was called official money, which was the same as the rent of the official field, which was used to supplement the official expenses of the county government and the county government, and the monthly salaries of high-ranking officials and staff, the subsidies for errand servants, etc., were all paid from this.

The three million tax silver in Donghai County has been deposited in Donglai Qianzhuang, Baifu Qianzhuang and Qi Dafu Qianzhuang, and there are more than 20 large and small money houses in Donghai County, but only these three big money houses have received official silver.

The reason is very simple, in addition to Qi Dafu Qian Zhuang is a private money village, Donglai Qian Zhuang and Baifu Qian Zhuang have a background background, Donglai Qian Zhuang is the property of Qi Wang, everyone knows, and the background of Bai Fu Qian Zhuang is more mysterious, it is said that it is a partnership of several county kings, and the largest shareholder is Huang Shu Huang Fu Yi Table.

Now that Wujin proposed to deposit the official silver in his bank, Su Hanzhen had an idea, that is, the prince's department was very weak in business, and there were almost no commercial activities, and there were only dozens of granges in the East Palace.

Su Hanzhen knew very well in her heart that the prince needed a lot of money, and only to maintain his 20,000-6 army every year, he needed a salary of one million taels of silver, and the pressure was very great.

But this is just a thought, and the prince has to decide, in front of him, Wu Jin proposed to absorb a part of the tax silver, he can agree, Su Hanzhen smiled and nodded, "Yes, I can store all the tax silver of the East Palace with you, and there is also the field of the East Palace Imperial Village, about 30,000 taels of silver per year, which can also be stored with you." ”

There is no Jin Daxi, there are 300,000 taels of tax silver in the East Palace, and there are 300,000 taels of mobile tax silver every year, that is, 600,000 taels, according to the annual loan interest of one cent and five cents of deposit interest, he only has 60,000 taels of silver per year, and then remove other expenses, at least 50,000 taels of profit a year! No wonder the banking industry was so lucrative in later generations.

Wu Jin suddenly thought of another thing, so he asked urgently: "My lord, this time to send the tax money into Beijing, will the prince send someone to answer it?" ”

Su Hanzhen nodded slightly, "The prince will send an army to meet under the pretext of training, but it's a pity that the East Palace army can't leave the capital for five hundred miles, but don't worry, the prince will also have his own arrangements, and the plum blossom guard will come to pick you up at that time." ”

Speaking of this, Su Hanzhen saw that the time was almost there, so she got up to say goodbye, and Wu Jin hurriedly got up to send him off.

"My lord, my eldest brother has to participate in the imperial examination when he enters the capital, and when he comes and goes for at least half a year, what should he do with the head of Cao?"

"It's really tricky."

Su Hanzhen said with a smile as she walked out: "I discussed with Wei Ming in the afternoon, Wei Ming recommended a candidate to me, called Qi Sheng, who was admitted to the Ming Economics Department last year, and now serves in the Pinghu County Ya, and will come to the county government tomorrow, I am ready to talk to him, if it is appropriate, I will consider using him to temporarily replace Wei Ming." ”

This Qi Sheng has heard of it, the second brother of sister-in-law Qi Xinlan, who is twenty-six years old this year, according to the eldest brother, he doesn't know much about human feelings, he hasn't seen it yet, it seems that the eldest brother is also a bit of a crony! Wu Jin smiled and sent Su Hanzhen to the door of the pawnshop, and Huangfugui also sent it out.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw groups of beggars heading east, Su Hanzhen was a little strange, looked east, and saw that the beggars had poured into a hotel, so he asked with a smile: "What's going on?" Why do so many beggars go to which restaurant? ”

Wu Jin hurriedly explained: "The old proprietor of the Yang Ji Restaurant died of illness, and the current proprietor is accumulating yin virtue for his father, so he will provide ten days of free meals, and these beggars probably heard the news." ”

"I see, this is not bad, it is also good to do more good deeds, then I will go first, and remember to go to see my eldest brother at night."

"Slow down, adults!"

Su Hanzhen got into the carriage, and the carriage started slowly, waiting for the carriage to cross the bridge, Huangfu Guicai's face was full of surprise, he pointed to Yang Ji Restaurant and asked: "Wu Jin, are you not mistaken, Yang Jingzhou will provide free meals?" It won't kill him, and I saw his father yesterday, how could he suddenly die, you are talking nonsense! ”

Wu Jin rolled his eyes, "I don't know, anyway, I can't let Master Su check it!" ”

Huangfugui suddenly realized, he pointed at Wu Jin and smiled: "I understand, it was your kid who made the ghost, and it was your villain's plan." ”

"What a villain's plan, am I a villain? Fifth uncle, don't button your hat indiscriminately. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Jin couldn't help but smile, "Let Master Su leave a good impression on Yang Ji Restaurant, which can also be regarded as compensation for him." ”

At this time, Yang Jingzhou was heard screaming from afar: "Get out!" I don't have a month's worth of free meals, no, get out of here! ”

........ Tianxiang Rice Shop in Beishi, here is the contact point of the Phoenix Society in Weiyang County, the old shops, the merchants who come and go, and the rice is piled up inside and outside, no one would have thought that this is the contact point of the first pirate of the Daning Dynasty, let alone the pirate leader Chen Anbang is in the rice shop at this time.

The room was very quiet, only Chen Anbang and his daughter Chen Ying sat at the table, Chen Ying is also the black sister, she lowered her head at this time, gently picked the sawdust on the table leg with her nails, and her face was full of gloom.

After Chen Anbang went ashore, he had changed his identity, he was a businessman from Quanzhou County, renamed Chen Ju, he had a complete set of identity certificates, and he could speak fluent Quanzhou dialect, but at this time he was a father who loved his daughter.

He knows his daughter's mind very well, more than a year ago, it was he who found out that his daughter and Wu Jin were in love, so he resolutely sent Wu Jin away, although his sister, that is, Wu Jin's mother, intended to match Ying'er and Wu Jin, but he was resolute and repeated, and their father was also opposed, they would rather marry Ying'er to an ordinary family, so that she could spend her life in peace, not to mention that Wu Jin is still a fool.

Chen Anbang was going to have a big quarrel with his daughter, and then forcibly send her back to the island, but the news he got was that Wujin seemed to have forgotten about his daughter, and they did not rekindle their old relationship, which made him a little relieved, and his heart couldn't help but be full of sympathy for his daughter.

"Ying'er, as the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, since he has no intention of you, it is also your fate, listen to Daddy's words, go back to the island first, grandfather is not worried about you, okay? I'll go back with my dad tomorrow. ”

Chen Ying shook her head slightly, still didn't say a word, Chen Anbang sighed, and persuaded her bitterly, "Why are you doing this?" If you don't want to go back to the island, why don't you go to the South Seas with the boat! Go for a distraction. ”

"Nope! I'm not going. ”

"What about you..... Ay! Ying'er, if you follow him, you will only be looked down upon by him, so why bother? ”

"Look down on him, I don't want to leave him anyway." Chen Ying muttered quietly, her head still down, her nails already picking off a large chunk of the sawdust on the table leg.

"Ying'er, why don't you listen to your father? Daddy is for your good! ”

Chen Anbang was a little impatient, if his subordinates dared to talk back like this, he would have drunk the order to push down and beat him hard, but he was reluctant to give up his daughter, since he was a child, he never scolded his daughter, the year before last he found out that his daughter and Wujin had a relationship, he just counted her hard, from beginning to end, the tone was not fierce, and today is no exception.

Chen Anbang patiently persuaded his daughter with his surname, "Your mother died too early, and your father didn't have time to take care of you, treating you like a sheep, now that your father regrets it, he will definitely take good care of you, and you will follow your father in the future, and you will definitely find you a wishful husband in the future, but in any case, you can't be with him, he doesn't like you, and he will be tired of you, so Daddy's old face can't be stopped!" Ying'er, good boy, listen to Dad, and go back with Dad's tomorrow. ”
