Regardless of whether the revenue of the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market is handed over to the household department of the imperial court, or enriched into the inner palace of Emperor Hongzhi himself.

This made no difference to Zhou Chen at all, anyway, he couldn't keep this money himself.

After carefully reading the contents of the secret decree, Zhou Chen solemnly took the secret decree into his arms.

It's not that Zhou Chen attaches great importance to this secret decree, it's just that he is acting in front of Cao Zhengchun.

Then, I saw Zhou Chen take out a money bag from the hidden pocket on the cuff and quietly stuff it into Cao Zhengchun's sleeve.

He chuckled and asked, "Your Majesty's will, this official already knows everything by heart, I don't know if Gonggong Cao has any other teachings?!" ”

Cao Zhengchun shrank his hand and pinched the money bag in his sleeve, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Because the money bag that Zhou Chen sent was not silver taels at all, but more valuable gold.

For the different textures between gold and silver, Cao Zhengchun can still feel it with one hand.

At the same time, Cao Zhengchun also quietly raised his hand to flip the weight of the money bag, which also had at least 100 taels of gold.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court stipulated that one tael of gold could be exchanged for about eight taels of silver for the exchange between gold and silver.

And even then, it's still priceless, because gold is much more expensive than silver.

If it is placed in the black market, one tael of gold can be exchanged for more than ten taels of silver.

This bag full of gold is almost equivalent to about 1,000 taels of silver.

In the case of Cao Zhengchun's Yulu, this thousand taels of silver is enough to be worth his more than ten years of Yulu.

After all, today's Cao Zhengchun is not the big eunuch who will be in charge of the East Factory and lean towards the government and the opposition in the future Zhengde years.

He is just a eunuch next to Prince Zhu Houzhao at the moment, such as Cao Zhengchun, there are eight people around Prince Zhu Houzhao.

Although the crown prince Zhu Houzhao treated their subordinates very generously, he never treated them badly.

But because of the large number of eunuchs around Zhu Houzhao, Cao Zhengchun actually didn't get any huge amount of oil and water at all, and he just didn't lack a small amount of money to spend.

Therefore, now that the gold of this money bag is in his sleeve, Cao Zhengchun's face is full of joy.

"This week in front of me is worthy of being a talent who is deeply valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, and this is really good for people to behave in the world."

After muttering happily in his heart, Cao Zhengchun approached Zhou Chen's side, lowered his voice and said in a secret voice: "Lord Zhou, Your Majesty didn't let our family pass anything on you.

However, when our family was serving His Royal Highness the Prince, I heard some things about Lord Zhou from the mouth of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

There is a way to take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, since Cao Zhengchun received such a big bag of gold from Zhou Chen, then he naturally wanted to reveal some information to Zhou Chen.

"Please also ask Gonggong Cao for some advice!"

Hearing Cao Zhengchun's words in his ears, the look on Zhou Chen's face couldn't help but become serious, and he asked in a deep voice.

Cao Zhengchun glanced at Zhou Chen deeply: "Lord Zhou, did you make a move against several families in the Jin Merchants a few months ago?" ”

Zhou Chen nodded slowly, but he didn't speak.

After a long sigh, Cao Zhengchun continued to lower his voice and said, "Lord Zhou, you know that behind those Jin merchants, there are many ministers of the DPRK and China who are supporting.

If not, how could these Jin merchants have developed to such a huge scale.

A few days after you did something to the two families of Na Fan Tian, many officials in the DPRK and China stood up to impeach you for transferring troops for personal use and seeking to seize the property of a good family.

Fortunately, His Majesty was not a mediocre monarch immediately, and after hearing about your impeachment of Lord Zhou, His Majesty immediately ordered the intelligence system of Dragon Guardian Villa and Dongchang to conduct a detailed investigation.

It wasn't until he found out that your lord did everything to establish the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market, and His Majesty personally suppressed the impeachment of Lord Zhou in the court.

If not, Lord Zhou, I am afraid that you would have been transferred back to the capital for trial a few months ago. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but hesitate slightly, and then said out loud: "Lord Zhou, don't blame our family for talking too much, you'd better not continue to do it to the leading family of the Jin merchants."

If the two Fan Tian families are destroyed, they will be destroyed, after all, there are other six major Jin merchant families.

If you continue to be ruthless against the remaining six Jin merchant families, the senior officials of the court and the central government behind them will definitely not be able to tolerate you.

At that time, I'm afraid that even Your Majesty won't be able to suppress the impeachment of your lord from above the court. ”

After quietly listening to Cao Zhengchun's story, Zhou Chen couldn't help but nod solemnly.

Now the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market has been completely established, with the two commercial forces of Fan Tian as an example, and other Jin merchants have also accepted this Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market.

Although there were still Jin merchants secretly smuggling, the number of transactions from the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market was also higher.

As far as Zhou Chen is concerned, his duties have been completely completed, so he naturally will not provoke the remaining Jin merchant families for no reason.

In the following time, Zhou Chen didn't need to work as hard as he did when he first came to Youyu County.

It is enough for him to deal with government affairs, practice martial arts, and quietly wait for his term of office to be fulfilled.

At that time, there will definitely be a new magistrate in the imperial court to take over Youyu County.

And he will be rewarded by Emperor Hongzhi according to his merits, as stated in Emperor Hongzhi's secret decree.

was either promoted to a higher-level official position in Shanxi Province, or directly transferred back to the capital.

In short, no matter what, Zhou Chen won't be able to take a few years in Youyu County.

Immediately, I saw Zhou Chen smile and said, "Thank you Gonggong Cao for your guidance, this official will definitely remember it." ”

"Lord Zhou's words are serious, just know it in your own heart!"

When Cao Zhengchun heard this, he also nodded with a chuckle and said.

For Zhou Chen, a new science detective, and at the same time a figure in the emperor's heart, Cao Zhengchun's heart rose with the idea of making friends.

If it weren't for that, Cao Zhengchun wouldn't have told Zhou Chen so much news.

Of course, the bag full of gold that Zhou Chen just gave away also played a very important role in it.
