Chapter 551 Cao Yun, where to go? (Above)

Zhu Youzhen has a good personality, if he trusts someone, he will be able to tolerate you enough. He had trusted many people, but unfortunately, none of the ministers he trusted had given him a passable result in return.

The only exception is Chen Xie, as long as he gives him a little trust, the reward is tenfold, hundredfold, or even more.

When he heard the news of 20,000 taels of gold, Zhu Youzhen sat on the chair in a daze, and had no intention of dealing with the twists and turns. This is gold, 20,000 taels, this is the freight of a trip with it, this is not counting the bill of exchange from Qianzhuang, Han Zanzhou's secret recital said, a ship of Nanyang goods can be sold for silver yuan ranging from 3 to 50,000 yuan. What a huge profit? It was the first time for Zhu Youzhen, who had earned so much money, and suddenly found that another window had opened in front of him.

"Go, let the news be spread out and see how the ministers react." Zhu Youzhen called Wang Chengen and gave some orders. At this time, Zhu Youzhen was like looking at the faces of those ministers. I think that the household department and the inner treasury were poor and couldn't open the pot at the beginning, and there were still so many ministers who opposed this and that. Now it seems that what Chen Xie said is a wise saying, which is nothing more than a conflict of interests. The state takes a little more, and the private person takes a little less. Daming's Tian Fu, isn't it such a process of slowly encroaching?

The news spread quickly, and soon entered the ears of these bigwigs in the cabinet. Zhou Yanru's reaction was a calm expression, and his heart was like fire. He is a native of Yixing, and he is very familiar with the situation in that place in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangnan has a strong style of doing business, and the Zhou family also has a special team for trading, which is also a business, and the Zhou family can fall 50,000 or 60,000 taels a year is a good year. Now look at the trip of the royal fleet, and it is not worth mentioning at all. Come to think of it. My heart is getting hotter and hotter, so I want to write a letter to my family and then write a letter to Chen Xie. Don't ask him to take care of anything else, a letter from home says that the boat is not easy to buy, so take care of this.

Lu Xiangsheng was the most calm when he heard the news. just said lightly: "Okay, the new army has money to practice." ”

Yang Tinglin's reaction was also very indifferent, and he sighed: "It's a good thing, the treasury of the household department will not be remembered." ”

Hong Chengchou stood up slowly, pacing in the room with a teacup, he was from Fujian. Of course, he knows how profitable the sea trade is, and when he is an official, he doesn't have too much demand for money. It's okay to bless your family. Other things. You can put it down, the top priority is to have a good relationship with Chen Xie, how to start? That's a problem.

Chen Yandang didn't seem to have any movement, and when he returned home, it was lively. The wives and children came to see one after another, and they all mentioned this matter. The royal fleet of ten boats, one trip to Nanyang, earned millions of silver yuan. Twenty thousand taels of gold. This matter has gone crazy in Jingshi, the most mysterious statement. The fleet found a mountain of gold in Java, which could not be moved for 180 years.

The virtue of the family, Chen Yan waved his hand impatiently, and they were all sent away. He is actually quite helpless, among these cabinet ministers, he has no friendship with Chen Xie. There is even a hatred, and it is still not ugly. However, political characters, hatred can be resolved for the sake of interests. It's just that you need an opportunity, think about it carefully. Chen Yan decided to cater to Zhu Youzhen, and the last piece of music was called "Maritime Music".

Pinching his beard, Chen Yan began to ponder, how to write the emperor's appetite, first of all, to be direct, which he already understood. Zhu Youzhen likes to go straight to the point, followed by the various benefits that the opening of the sea has brought to the country, and so on. Finally, there is the part of singing the praises of virtue, what opens the sea and borders for thousands of miles, the people do not add endowments and the country is sufficient, and the only saint in the ages, that must be said. At the end, put the finishing touch, please seal Chen Xie as the Marquis of Xinghai, the prince and the prince, and the governor of the water division, in order to reward his merits.

What the? Face? Hehe, how many silver dollars is this thing worth?

When the early dynasty was ordered before, the scene was lively, and the civil and martial arts were all talking about something. Wenchen is a little better here, whispering. There is no taboo on Wu Xun's side, and the loud voice directly covers the scene.

"Have you heard? I'm afraid that Neku won't be able to fit it this time, Jinshan Yinhai. ”

"How can it be so outrageous, I heard that it was five million silver yuan, and it was almost a year when Tian Fu came."

"Don't understand, do you? If the wealth is not exposed, who earns money and shouts all over the world? ”

Such a vulgar thing has become the main topic of today, which makes a group of Qingliu Wenchen very unhappy, but also very helpless. Many people didn't sleep last night, thinking about their own things, whether they could get a little subsidy or something from this. Wenchen, who opposed the opening of the sea in the past, is also pondering how to redeem this matter. Some people really didn't care, such as Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Tinglin, and Shi Kefa, who got together to discuss the war in western Yunnan. Since the beginning of the spring, the officers and soldiers have been fighting continuously, and they have pushed Zhang Xianzhong and others out of the border in one go, and now they have entered Mubang. In this way, the war basically stopped, and Sun Chuanting's meaning was to continue to chase and kill, or to return to the court, and the court would give an explanation. After all, the main leader of the thieves is still there, and he still has some strength, so he will do everything to eliminate evil.

Lu Xiangsheng was dissatisfied with Sun Chuanting, mainly because the report was untrue. What do you mean by more than 30 battles? Beheaded more than 3,000 people, isn't this a fool? They are all from leading soldiers to fight, you and I don't know what's going on with you? There are people from Dongchang in the Dengzhou camp, and the news brought back is completely different, the thieves were defeated and left in a hurry, and General Li Yuncong waved his troops to chase after him, followed by three formations, and beheaded more than 1,000 people. The thief entered Mubang, sighed with admiration, and couldn't chase him. In the entire battle in western Yunnan, there were three pursuit battles, and they were all fought by Li Yuncong with four towns. If you say it to the big one, this understanding can also be accepted. You can't ask a question without mentioning a word about others.

Yang Tinglin and Shi Kefa, together the focus of attention is still Annei. After a long period of civil rebellion wars, the problems in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan provinces are extremely severe. Catching up with another disaster year, relief and safety relief is the most important task at present. In the past, there was no money, but now there is money, and there is the question of where to buy food. These two will come up with their respective statutes, which will meet as soon as possible to reach an agreement and report to the emperor in the early dynasty.

One trip is millions of dollars, which is too scary. Therefore, they are all talking about this matter, even if they are not involved, they are all shut up and listening to others. Only these three are more special, one is independent, and the other is talking about their own things.

"No, this absolutely not." Suddenly, Shi Kefa spoke loudly, and everyone was startled by his loud voice, and they all looked at him in amazement. Yang Tinglin was also quite embarrassed, and hurriedly whispered: "If you have something to say, what do you shout?" Shi Kefa sneered unceremoniously: "At the beginning of spring, when grain prices are high, why are you not so kind?" Okay now, remember to sell grain at a low price? also put on the idea of giving food relief, and also talked about Caoyun. I don't care what others think, Shi someone stays in this position for a day, and he will not accept this Jianyì. ”

Yang Tinglin knew that this matter couldn't get over Shi Kefa, so he just tried it. What's going on? It is related to the rice and Cao Yun in the south of the Yangtze River. There has been one thing in recent years, that is, the importance of water transportation has been declining. After Zhu Di moved the capital, he had to transport millions of stone grain from the south of the Yangtze River to Beijing every year, and the canal has always been very prosperous. But the days along the canal have been hard recently, first of all, the grain, the grain in Liaodong has been bumper for two consecutive years, especially when Liaodong grows rice, who would have thought of it? The black soil in the northeast, where can the land of the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River be compared. The entire Northeast is now the largest granary north of the Yellow River in the Ming Empire, and the price and taste of rice directly crush the rice from the south of the Yangtze River. In the spring, didn't you rely on the rice in the Northeast and the miscellaneous grains in Shandong to get together and destroy those black-hearted grain merchants?

The second is the problem of rice in Jiangnan, the rice production in Jiangnan has been declining in recent years, and the reason is naturally because of the development of industry and commerce. A large number of farmland has been converted into mulberry forests, and the silk industry is being developed. Because of this, merchants from Spain and Portugal all went to Huating to transport rice, and the trade was prosperous for a time. But recently, this business has not been very good, the cause is still the grain merchant incident in the spring, a large number of rice shipped from the south, now the backlog in Beijing, the backlog in Jiangnan is even more alarming. In fact, this matter really has little to do with Caoyun. In recent years, Caoyun's biggest opponent is not the grain of the Northeast, but the rise of shipping. Whether it is grain, tea, cotton cloth and other materials in the south of the Yangtze River, they are not transported by sea, but by sea.

If you advocate this matter normally, you will definitely be sprayed to death by the people of Jingshi. Therefore, someone is very smart and found Yang Tinglin around the bend, and proposed the recession of Cao Yun, whether to include rice from the south of the Yangtze River in the procurement of relief grain? Then through the guò government's hand, it was determined that in the future, the grain of the capital division could only go through the grassland. In this way, Caoyun will be able to survive, and the millions of people who rely on the canal for food will also be stable. Out of consideration for the millions of people who rely on Cao Yun to eat, and out of the current situation that the country urgently needs to stabilize and recuperate, Yang Tinglin was moved.

Shi Kefa is not, he is now a household servant, and he is in charge of the matter of relief and grain procurement. Shi Kefa's logic is very simple, in the past, this grain was all ashore from Shandong, Liaodong to Tianjin, so who would be willing to give a grain of cheap grain to help the victims? Oh, now that the situation has eased, there are people who are thinking about this deal. Don't even think about it, not to mention that the price of grain from Shandong and Liaodong is lower than that of grain from Jiangnan, even if the price is higher, Shi Kefa also recognizes them.
