"This is my Zheng family's son!"

Zheng Yuanxun happily patted a stack of thick papers on the table, and praised his nephew Zheng Hanlin again and again. Zheng Hanxue on the side was depressed, more like a green leaf on the foil.

Zheng Hanlin is still the same as a hanger, and he is quite a bit pampered.

Zheng Hanlin did not go to the Qinglou to drink flower wine.

After the Xuzhou Prefecture Industrial and Commercial Bureau spent a tael of silver to find someone to copy the shareholder directory, Zheng Hanlin rushed back to Yangzhou overnight, only one step behind Zheng Hanxue's home. What's even more amazing is that this young master, who has always been regarded as having a bad head, actually analyzed a lot of Taoism from the shareholder register, and finally came to a conclusion that everyone wants to know about Taoism, but there is no way to verify it.

Ankang Company is actually the industry of the family of the mountain division!

There are very few locals in Xuzhou on the shareholder register, but there are unusually many people from Sichuan, and the capital contribution is higher, and the middle and senior officers of the mountain division are all from Sichuan; Xuzhou was originally the station of the mountain division, and the Ankang company was not in the city, but in the former barracks; In addition to the background of the mountain division, who else can get a different look from the Imperial Bank and give a loan far more than the registered capital?

Not to mention that the salt car of Ankang Company always has a military escort!

Zheng Yuanxun was very appreciative of his nephew's amazing performance for three years, and immediately said: "In the future, when Hanlin enters and exits, it will be rationed with a four-wheeled carriage!" ”

Although Zheng Hanxue was not convinced, he really didn't think of going to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to find out, so he could only endure this breath.

Zheng Hanlin just smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Zheng Yuanxun can't wait to thank him!

Knowing the background of Ankang Company, he should naturally guess where several other large companies that can get salt come from. This kind of background is more difficult to deal with than taking salt from the hands of vassal kings and eunuchs before, and you can only spend money to admit it. However, if you can really cooperate with them, you can be regarded as hugging a big tree, and you will have a lot less worries.

"Let's not wait for people to find it when it comes to refining salt." Zheng Yuanxun said: "Hanlin." I'll leave this matter to you, and you go and keep an eye on the shopkeeper. Even if we can't account for the majority of the share capital in the new account, it must not be too small. ”

"Very well, uncle." Zheng Hanlin happily accepted it, without the slightest humility.

……

After the Zheng family found Chai Yong, several salt merchants came one after another. Chai Yong greeted with a smile. Collect them one by one as distributors. Soon, on the map of the Ming Dynasty hanging high in Chai Yong's office, on the large and small counties in Jiangsu and Anhui, vermilion dots were marked.

This means that through the dealer's store, Ankang Company's salt can be smoothly pushed to various counties. This was one of the conditions given by the crown prince: they could be given time to set up the network, but they would never be allowed to have a large-scale salt shortage.

Chai Yong believes that it will not be long before the returned funds can repay part of the loan again, and lend more money to eat the salt production in Huai'an. When the time comes, those salt merchants who are on the sidelines. Either buy salt from him, or never set foot in the industry again.

In Chai Yong's view, the only fly in the ointment is that the royal family did not take a stake in the salt company, which makes people feel a little uncertain.

……

"I don't participate in your salt company, I just want to let the brothers who follow me fight the world get more benefits." Zhu Cihong sat in a rocking chair, holding Yuanzi of the sleeping milk name Qiuguan. This scene brought tears to the eyes of the civil officials present, and they deeply felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really did not treat them as outsiders.

It's just that they don't know what to do, and the crown prince's schedule is on it. This time period is marked "Rest".

Parent-child activities, meeting with non-special officials, and retreat communication are all "rest" content.

Wu Fu, who was promoted to the first assistant, and Sun Chuanting, the second assistant. Sitting opposite Liu Zongmin, the governor of Sichuan, and Gu Junen, the governor. In addition to these six senior members, there are also several people who are here to meet the scene. Because this is the rest room of the cabinet, the cabinet elders and the housekeepers can come in to drink tea and rest, and there is no danger of shortage of snacks and fruits.

Liu Zongmin and Gu Junen planned to be swept to the end when they entered Beijing on this trip, which was also the best result they discussed. The only way to do this is to cut them off. Only then can Sichuan be truly peaceful, and the old subordinates of the loyal battalion no longer have to worry about living in fear.

However, the reception on the Beijing side was a little puzzling to them.

It stands to reason that the best way to deal with this matter is to deal with it quietly, but the crown prince directly gave the banquet to the pavilion according to the practice of other governors entering Beijing. Make it known to everyone. Although I put my mind at ease, it still went against the original intention after all.

Coupled with the reform of the salt administration, the soldiers of the loyal battalion suddenly found that their "false salary" in the bank was suddenly valuable. Gu Junen, who had almost won the position of prime minister, of course knew what was going on, and under the hint of the bank officials, he established the Shu Salt Company. Considering the salt well production in Zigong, this benefit should not be underestimated.

The crown prince likes to participate in his subordinates' companies as a royal member, and Gu Junen also expressed his intention to hope that the crown prince will become a shareholder. This kind of philistine, which would have been ridiculed by people, seems to have been elegantly upgraded after the national change.

"You two are doing really well in Sichuan." Zhu Cihong defined the work of the two again: "From eighteen years to the present, exactly three years." In the past three years, you have defeated Zhang Xianzhong and quelled the Yellow Rebellion. Today, the thirteen prefectures of Sichuan and more than 100 counties are all officials appointed by the ministry, which is a great achievement. ”

Because the emperor and grandson were sleeping soundly on the prince's chest, Zhu Cihong didn't speak loudly, but every word knocked on the hearts of Gu Junen and Liu Zongmin like Huang Zhong Dalu. They themselves know very well that the Yellow Rebellion must be leveled, otherwise how can the Loyal Battalion gain a foothold? As for letting go of civil affairs, it is also because the Ministry of War is able to pay food and wages on time.

It is precisely because of the sincerity and trustworthiness of both sides that Sichuan has been able to settle down in the past three years. The people began to resume production and no longer suffered from the war.

"I think Zhang Shiqi is enough to deal with civil affairs in Sichuan, Yang Zhan may not be as good as Liu Du, but he is more than enough to keep it." Zhu Cihong felt that his son was about to wake up, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "So I mean I want the two of you to change positions." ”

Gu Junen and Liu Zongmin were already prepared in their hearts, and immediately said: "Obey the orders of His Highness." ”

Zhu Cihong raised his hand: "This matter has not been discussed with the cabinet, it can only be regarded as asking for opinions." He paused, and then said, "I have been suffering from two heart problems since I was sensible. ”

The crowd listened intently.

"One is the rout of Liaodong in the east." Zhu Cihong smiled: "Now it seems that most of the disease has gone." ”

Everyone also laughed. Liaodong, as the heart disease of the Ming Dynasty, has almost been pitted for a generation, and now there is a second army to guard Liaohai, and there is no need to worry about Jiannu and Mengtar entering the Kou.

"The second is in the west." Zhu Cihong ordered someone to take the map of Huang Mingkun and hang it up, got up and handed his half-awake son to the chamberlain, and personally walked to the map and took the wooden whip: "The heart disease in the west is divided into north and south. What is the situation of Hamiwei in the north? When will the Ming Dynasty be able to expedition to Chagatai? Will the Turks still invade the western part of our Ming Dynasty? I can't help it. ”

"As for the southwest, my heart disease is even worse." Zhu Cihong's wooden whip slowly slid down: "Since the rebellion of the Burmese Tusi Mangruiti during the Jiajing period, the southwest has not really been pacified. In the middle, Liu Ling and Feng Zilong broke through Ava, and later repaired eight passes and nine passes, but it is impossible to say that the land of my Taizu when he founded the country was reduced to a foreign state. I often wake up at night, thinking about when I will be able to produce a few more generals, and I will be troubled in the southwest. ”

Gu Junen and Liu Zongmin glanced at each other, and they had already heard what the crown prince meant. This is to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and let the loyal battalion go all the way south to the barren land.

But even so, it was the emperor's grace, who made you stand on the wrong side, and even stepped on someone's throne?

The two said in unison: "The ministers are willing to go to Yunnan to garrison, but His Highness is worried!" ”

Zhu Cihong glanced at Wu Fu and Sun Chuanting, turned his head and said with a smile: "Don't panic, everyone, I am not a reckless soldier." Wu Zi said: The emperor of World War I and the king of World War II. Even if I can't end the rebellion in Burma in one war, I must at least know myself and be well prepared. ”

"What Your Highness said is very true," Wu Fu got up and said, "The trouble in the southwest is only on the surface, and at this time, it is still necessary to recuperate the people's strength." ”

Sun Chuanting also said: "What Shoufu said is very true. The minister thought that by recuperating the people's strength and expanding the army and military forces, the first war could determine the rebellion in Burma. ”

Gu Junen was a little surprised, didn't these two pavilion assistants want the old department of King Chuang to be sent to Yunnan? He didn't know that Zhu Cihong had already privately expressed his trust in him and Liu Zongmin, and what he was talking about at the moment was completely out of state affairs, and he had no intention of cutting off dissidents.

"That's true, but the land of Yungui can't be outside the king's transformation for a long time." Zhu Cihong said: "After thinking about it, it is mainly a matter of toast and liuguan. Liuguan is not familiar with the place, but the power of Tusi is too great. If it is a place like Sichuan, Tusi is just a small country in the country, and there is no harm in it. In Yunnan, it is common to see Mengyang, Laos and other toasts riding on the wall and watching, looking at the wind and falling. What can the two governors do about this? ”

Liu Zongmin said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, anyone who follows the thief's village should be destroyed. ”

"Killing is not the way to go." Zhu Cihong shook his head and said: "Kill the past all the way, kill people to the ground, maybe it will be occupied by outsiders at some point." Isn't that the case in Liaodong? ”

"Your Highness, you can push grace." Gu Junen was in a trance, and returned to his status as a strategist.

"Sir, please elaborate."

"Now the toast is all official positions in the imperial court, and the father and son are attacked." Gu Junen said: "Many toasts are almost like a county or even a prefecture in the mainland. It can be divided into the sons of Tusi. The more the court is divided, the greater the friction between the toasts, and it is convenient for local states and counties to encroach one by one and change the land to the stream. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled: "This plan is very good. In this case, Mr. Labor should go to Yungui to give priority to the government of favor and weaken the power of the local Tusi. ”

"Obey." Gu Junen immediately responded. (To be continued......)
