Wu Jingxian and Cao Huachun know each other well, and their relationship has always been very good.

Five years ago, when the struggle between Wenchen and the eunuchs was at its most intense, Wu Jingxian and Cao Huachun were demoted at the same time as Wei Zhongxian's shields.

Under the protection of Wei Zhongxian, the introverted Cao Huachun was finally demoted two levels to stay in the capital, but Wu Jingxian took most of the anger of the courtiers and was directly relegated to the Ming Tomb in Nanjing to see the tomb.

Therefore, Cao Huachun was full of guilt for his younger brother Wu Jingxian, and the relationship between them became closer and closer with their respective promotions.

Cao Huachun saw that Wu Jingxian was a little breathless, so he had to explain in a low voice: "The matter of you taking over as the eunuch of Nanjing Town has been decided, and the Heavenly Master of Ceremonies will send you an edict of appointment at the latest, and Long Live Lord is estimated to summon you again!" ”

"Nanjing's side is becoming less and less reassuring now, your nephew's affairs can't be rushed, you have to let Wan Sui Ye have an impression before you can do it...... Wait a few more days, with his loyalty and great contribution to the Long Live Lord, it is not difficult for a mere fourth-grade military attache to win! ”

Wu Jingxian took out a thick cowhide envelope and stuffed it into Cao Huachun's hand: "You can help me take care of other colleagues, after receiving the holy oracle and your secret letter, I hurried here, and I didn't have time to buy gifts." ”

Cao Huachun accepted it unceremoniously: "Or is it the silver ticket of the newly opened Bofu Bank?" ”

"Well, Bofu Bank's silver tickets are very particular, the paper, ink and printing are unique, each silver ticket has seven anti-counterfeiting secret marks, and a set of numbers called Arabic numerals, the maximum denomination of the silver ticket issued is 100 taels, and there are 1,000 inside, a total of 100,000 taels."

"You can do it. It's not enough, I'll go to Bofu Money Village to borrow some more, and I'll bring all five of their semicolon shopkeepers to your house to meet, and you can help them more if they have any difficulties in the future. Wu Jingxian took this opportunity to ask Cao Huachun to take care of Zhu Daolin's most valued Bofu Money.

Cao Huachun smiled: "Bofu Qianzhuang only entered Beijing at the end of last year to open a branch, but as soon as it opened, it was five major semicolons, and it was claimed that the principal of each semicolon was more than one million taels of silver. The façade and interior decoration are extremely luxurious, and even several well-known nobles of the British public have become shareholders, and they are in the market within a month of opening, which can be described as a blockbuster! Do you kid have a stake too? ”

Wu Jingxian smiled: "What? Do you want to do it together? ”

"I don't want to be a grandson!" Cao Huachun is more direct.

Wu Jingxian smiled again: "I have already guessed your thoughts, let's say it first, in order to obtain the thirty percent shares of the five major semicolons in Beijing, I had to return the one percent shares of the Nanjing General Number, and borrowed 1.8 million taels of silver from my nephew to barely make up the principal, and I will count on the five major semicolons in Beijing to retire in the future." ”

"If you and Cheng'en want to. Let's divide it equally, I will cushion the capital first, and then I can't help it, the dignity of the north and south capitals is only 20%, the rest is the Maoshan faction accounting for 30%, the Nanjing Ying family accounts for 10%, my nephew accounts for 10%, so much in total! ”

"The actual total capital of the five major branches in the capital is as high as 8 million taels of silver. and not the 5 million taels as claimed to the outside world...... You just need to know about it, don't spread it. Those Shanxi businessmen are not a good thing, in case of fighting, we will have a backhand. ”

Cao Huachun gasped when he heard this: "So, a hundred percent of the shares will cost 800,000 taels of silver?" ”

"Do you think Bofu Money Village is the same as those Shanxi ticket numbers with thin eyebrows and fine eyes? If it weren't for the strong and powerful in the southeast, Bofu Qianzhuang would have opened its semicolons all over Suzhou and Hangzhou. Wu Jingxian said proudly.

Cao Huachun asked again: "In addition to the two capitals, where else does Bofu Qianzhuang have a semicolon?" ”

Wu Jingxian crossed his fingers and counted with him: "Except for the seven semicolons in Nanjing and the five semicolons in Beijing." Jiujiang, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Liujiagang, Fengyang, and Huai'an, Linqing along the canal along the Yangtze River have opened a branch, and my nephew plans to open a branch in Baoshan in the next step, specifically for sea trade settlement, and it is estimated that the Nanjing general number has been prepared for manpower. ”

Cao Huachun was very happy: "Good, good!" It deserves to be my first money bank in the Ming Dynasty, haha! But. There are not many people in that small town in Baoshan except for a thousand households of water masters, right? Do you really want to follow the example of Chengzu and build a bigger wharf on the original sailor wharf in Baoshan? ”

Wu Jingxian sighed: "I also wondered at the beginning, but my nephew is right, as long as the Baoshan Wharf is built, it will not only greatly weaken the strength of the powerful in the southeast and control the trade in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, but also invite the Lord of Long Live to open the Baoshan City Shipping Division, and upgrade the Baoshan Thousand Households of the Sailor to Baoshanwei." ”

"In this way, we can turn Baoshan and the Yangtze River estuary within a radius of 100 miles into the territory controlled by our inner court and the royal family, and we can pay at least 500,000 taels of silver in taxes to the inner treasury every year, and once the grain and grass in the capital are not enough, they can also be transported by sea, so as not to be continued to be choked by those insatiable civil officials."

Cao Huachun finally understood the purpose of recommending Zhu Daolin.

This is not only a matter of personal wealth, but a grand plan that really thinks about today's saints and the Ming Dynasty, so he put away his smile and solemnly promised Wu Jingxian:

"I see! Wait patiently for two days, if you can't make up your mind after two days, Cheng En and I will join other colleagues to advise Long Live Lord, no matter how difficult it is, we will help Zhu Xian's nephew get the title of the fourth rank military attache of the water division, I think Long Live Lord will also be deeply relieved after he understands! ”

"As for the courtiers, huh! It's up to them! ”

"But the military department can't avoid it, you have to prepare in advance, otherwise the name is not right!" Wu Jingxian was most worried about the military department's obstruction.

Cao Huachun smiled: "Leave this matter to me, Xiong Ming, the secretary of the military department, is not effective in suppressing thieves, and even collaborated with Song Guanglan, the garrison of Shandong, Wang Mei of the sub-patrol and others to embezzle military salaries, which caused the morale of the three armies to be low, and let Kong Youde, the traitor, stir up Shandong and grow bigger and bigger." ”

"These guys' handles are all in my hands in Dongchang, if he dares to say half a word, my old Cao, a good old man's face, will not be wanted, first knock him down!"

Wu Jingxian let out a long sigh: "Then I will rest assured!" There is another thing that I have been hesitating about, and I don't know whether I should report it to the emperor...... In addition to his business skills, my nephew also learned the art of casting cannons and making flintlock muskets, the kind that can be fired without the need to light a torch, during his travels abroad. ”

"He told me that if the Holy God allowed his ironsmith to make cannons and guns, he would be able to make more than 30 general cannons and 500 flintlock pistols with a range of 150 paces in half a year."

"In order to help my Ming army resist the Manchu Tartars, a month ago he has spent a huge amount of money to order more than 30 thousand catties of general cannons and 50 Franco machine cannons from the Franc machine, it is estimated that the goods will arrive at the end of April and early May, and then find a way to send them to Beijing."

Cao Huachun was surprised: "Why didn't you report this matter to the Lord Banzai just now?" Long live the most urgent thing at the moment is that there is no cannon to send to the front line, and the best copper you transport back must be minted to fill the hole, and not a single cannon can be built! ”

"No, no, you have to go back with me and ask to see the Long Live Lord, so that the Long Live Lord can settle down, the Long Live Lord is so anxious that he can't eat during this time!"
