Although Wei Zhongxian is now thriving, he has not made any big progress, and he is embarrassed to stretch out his hand in the emperor's inner treasury, and the dream of being promoted to official wealth has only been half completed, which makes him feel a little unhappy. Hearing that there was a way to make money, his eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly: "What kind of money, Cheng'er say it quickly." ”

"Mining."

"Most of the mines have been discovered, whether it is gold, silver, copper, or iron, we can't drive the original mine owners away and mine them ourselves."

"We mine coal. The original briquettes and briquettes were difficult to burn and produced huge smoke, but since Cheng'er spared no effort to promote the rise of honeycomb coal and ondol in the north, the demand for coal has expanded dramatically, and there is a trend of short supply. Therefore, now that coal mining is not sold, there must be huge profits. It is rumored that there are a large number of shallow coal fields in Shaanxi, which are easy to mine, and now the road has been built to Shaanxi, and the transportation is also convenient. I have already said that the emperor will mine the coal mines in Shaanxi, but he lacks funds, and he is ready to borrow money from the lords of the capital to jointly mine coal in Shaanxi. You are my grandfather, so naturally I want to give you a dry share. You say, "Is this a great way to make money?" ”

Wei Zhongxian nodded and smiled, appreciating Zhu Youcheng's filial piety.

"Two days later, in the name of the prince of Xin, I will invite all the lords of the capital to come to the children's paradise for a banquet, and the banquet will raise funds from them to form the Daming Coal Mining Group to mine the Shaanxi coal mine, and then share it according to the proportion of capital contribution. Grandpa will come tomorrow too, just to record the situation of the funds raised and report to the emperor. ”

Gonggong Wei agreed, on the one hand, he could do things for the emperor, and on the other hand, he could make money for himself, how could he shirk such a thing that was perfect for both worlds?

After the discussion, Gonggong Wei wanted to say goodbye, and Liu Jingting and Xiong Hu came over to see him off. This delivery was sent to the street, and when it came to the street, they did not go back.

Gonggong Wei knew that they wanted to beg him to let Xiong Tingbi go, thinking that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had already ordered, and Liu Jingting was Zhu Youcheng's confidant and favorite general, so he simply sold his favor to them, took them to Dongchang, and released Xiong Tingbi in the court.

The more Xiong Tingbi looked at Liu Jingting, the more unpleasant he became, no wonder, the old man usually doesn't like his son-in-law very much, if he hadn't written a letter of guarantee, maybe he would have regretted it.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

King Xin came back very late, in fact, the Emperor of the Apocalypse still wanted to keep him in the palace for the night, but he was afraid that Zhu Youcheng would worry, so he rushed back.

Hearing Zhu Youcheng say that he was going to invite the Lord of the capital to dinner, King Xin shook his head again and again, afraid that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would be suspicious. But when he heard him say that Gonggong Wei, the favorite minister of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, attended, he happily asked, "Brother Cheng, why did you invite them to dinner?" ”

"Of course it's not for nothing, I'm ready to make a fate."

"Brother Cheng is going to be disappointed, those lords love money like their lives, and it is more difficult to ask them to pay than to ascend to the sky."

"Actually, it's not about fate, it's about cooperating with them to do business. The emperor, Gonggong Wei, you, and I invested in mining with them, and after selling, they were divided according to the proportion of capital contribution. ”

"Do you need a lot of money? We have a lot of money in our children's park, and the emperor's inner library is said to be very full, isn't it enough for the two of us to mine? ”

"Funding is not a problem, my purpose is to tie all the lords and the emperor together to form a community of interests, with both glory and loss. In this way, even if someone opposes the mining industry, there will be a lord who will go up first to reduce the pressure on the emperor's side. ”

Zhu Youcheng still hasn't finished half a sentence, that is, it is conducive to promoting the collection of mining taxes. Mineral deposits belong to the state, and the dynasties before the Ming Dynasty have strictly controlled the mining industry, and in the late Ming Dynasty, the management of industry and commerce was relaxed, and many local Haoqiang began to prospect and mine on their own. These powerful not only forcibly excavate the resources belonging to the state, but also organize mine protection teams and refuse to pay taxes. Wei Zhongxian sent a number of mine supervisors to the local government during the Apocalypse, collected a large amount of taxes and fees for the state, and maintained the normal operation of the Ming Dynasty's finances. During the Chongzhen period, after Zhu Youzhen removed Wei Zhongxian, he recalled the mine supervisor, and the Ming Dynasty's finances embarked on the road of bankruptcy, and the Ming Dynasty was finished.

King Xin is young and likes to be lively, and when he heard that he could have a treat, he was naturally elated, while Wang Chengen had a bitter face, which cost a lot of money.

Zhu Youcheng persuaded: "Princess, don't worry, those lords will come with gift money, who dares to eat the wine of the king in vain?" In my experience, you don't lose money when you treat a treat. ”

Wang Chengen muttered: "Zhu Gongzi is young and has never invited guests, where did he get any experience." Ugh—"

Wang Chengen went to the side to mourn his wallet, but Zhu Youcheng didn't persuade him, and asked the king of letters: "Ah Jian, does anyone in the palace know the list of lords of the capital, and tomorrow we will send servants to the lords' mansions to invite them." ”

"Yes, Wang Banban and Cao Huachun both know. However, the task of writing invitations was entrusted to me, and I have been practicing calligraphy well lately, and I have finally found a place to use it. ”

Zhu Youcheng nodded in agreement, snickering in his heart, secretly thinking, there are hundreds of lords in Beijing, write them down one by one, it's no wonder if you don't get tired.

Sure enough, after only ten sheets were written, the king of letters shouted that his hands were tired. Seeing Zhu Youcheng watching with his hands crossed on the side, he had to let him suffer the same torture.

Zhu Youcheng nodded, snapped his fingers, and his guards and Zhu Youcheng's guards all came in, holding a brush in their hands, and began to write. In addition to participating in military training, the soldiers of the West Town Fusi also have to learn basic knowledge, such as literacy, arithmetic, and so on. Not all of these guards are masters of calligraphy, but at least they can still recognize the handwriting they write.

Zhu Youcheng said: "I have long known that there are hundreds of lords in the capital, and you will definitely not be able to finish writing alone, so let the guards wait at the door." When you're tired of writing, let them in. Sure enough, it's just ten, and you can't stand it. ”

"Hmph, Brother Cheng, you are so bad, you don't persuade others, and your hands hurt others."

"If you don't do anything, you don't grow wise. Ah Jian, think about it, if I start to persuade you, will you listen? ”

King Xin thought about it, began to play tricks, and reached out to kiss Zhu Youcheng's itch, Zhu Youcheng did not show weakness, and the two of them made a mess.

They fought, but the guards did not dare to rest.

There was a lot of strength in numbers, and the guards worked together to write the invitation in no time.

Next, the servants began to deliver invitations to the lords' homes.

According to the ancestral system, the lord could not be too close to the prince, so the first reaction of the invited lord when he heard that the king was invited was that he could not go. But when they opened the invitation, they were immediately dumbfounded, and the first line of the invitation was written, on the orders of the emperor. The face of the king can not be sold, but the emperor's face cannot be left ungiven.

King Shin's wine and food can't be eaten in vain, and if you want to eat the prince's wine for nothing, you are really an idiot. So the lords immediately took action, some of the lords went around looking for merchants who sold local products from all over the world, some of the lords went to the street to buy expensive gifts, and some of the lords were clever, knowing that no matter how exquisite the gifts were, there were no gold coins and silver coins beautiful, so they pulled some red paper and wrapped more than a dozen gold coins, which was considered a "thin gift".

The children's playground is very large, and it is not a problem to set up dozens of tables, but Zhu Youcheng believes that the smell of wine is too strong, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of children, and resolutely opposes placing wine in the children's paradise. In the end, it was selected to hold a banquet in the newly built Yamen of King Xin, the Zongren Mansion.

Because it takes time to buy ingredients, Zhu Youcheng specially set the time two days later. I thought that no one would come to the door the next day, but I didn't expect that someone would knock on the door knocker of the children's playground before dawn the next day.

The children's park opens very late, because Zhu Youcheng thinks that a good baby should sleep well and can't go to bed late and get up early, so the children's park opens late and closes early, probably when Tatsumi intersects (about nine o'clock in the morning) and closes when you intersect (about seven o'clock in the evening).

The staff of the children's park opened the door and saw a bearded man rushing in with anger on his face. He stepped forward to stop him, and was pushed hard by the beard, and suddenly his footing was unstable, and he retreated several steps in a row.

He was so frightened that he shouted loudly and called for help from inside.

Zhu Youcheng was exercising in the morning, and a bright silver gun flew up and down, just like a jade python protecting the body, and like a silver dragon going to sea.

Hearing the doorman call the police, he couldn't help but be angry, rushed over with a gun, and shouted: "Who dares to go wild in the children's paradise? ”
