Huang Zan is like a master key in the court, and any lock can be opened by him.

If there is anything that others find incredible, just push it on this person.

Huang Zan has made great contributions to the technological innovation of the salt field, and no one can match so many household officials before the Ming Dynasty, and it is precisely because the people of the Ming Dynasty have been able to eat cheap salt in recent years, and the salt tax revenue of the imperial court is also increasing step by step, making Huang Zan grow in prestige among officials and people.

This is also the reason why Yang Tinghe knew that Huang Zan was a faction of Emperor Zhengde, but he has not been able to drive him out of the court after taking power.

The division is unknown.

It is also easy to provoke public anger, making people think that he Yang Ting and the party are different, even if he really wants to fight for the party, he must pay attention to reasonableness.

After the basic process of returning to the door of the three dynasties, Zhu Hao wanted to take Sun Lan home.

Zhu Hao asked politely, "Do you want to leave Uchiko here first, and then pick her up after noon?" ”

Sun Jiaobai glanced at Zhu Hao: "It's hard to come here, why don't you have a meal together and then leave?" ”

Zhu Hao looked outside, the sun in winter is not too strong, the sun is still in the southeast, how do you see that there is still some time before noon, see what this means Sun Jiao wants to "have a long talk" with himself?

Old man Sun, do you know that this is called passive sabotage?

"I have other things to do."

Zhu Hao replied.

"What's the matter?"

Sun Jiao asked more seriously.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Sun Lao is in the court, do you also care about what the younger generations like me do?" I'm just studying at the Hallym Academy......"

Sun Jiaodao: "But your insight is not like a rookie who has just entered the officialdom, but like a career immersed in officialdom for many years...... The first time I saw you, I felt that you had a sense of city that others didn't have. ”

"Huh."

Zhu Hao smiled reluctantly.

Ayutthaya?

It's obviously not a compliment, it's sarcasm!

"Since you know that Your Majesty is going to open a mine, say that all this is the dedication of Huang Gong of Nanjing, and let your mentor Tang Bohu preside over this matter...... Do you know who Your Majesty wants to take over Bohu's errand? ”

Sun Jiao asked as if he were taking an exam.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Sun Jiao asked, "Do you really don't know, or do you deliberately pretend to be confused?" ”

"Alas! Don't think that I know everything, in fact, Your Majesty doesn't care much about who will manage the Imperial Village...... In the past, the harvest of the official land of the emperor was used to fill the military needs, and His Majesty wanted to build a temple to Xingxian Emperor, but the silver was not enough, so what difference was there to who would take over the official position? ”

Zhu Hao used a reasonable-sounding reason to settle the matter.

Sun Jiao thought about it and couldn't help nodding.

Sun Jiaodao: "So Your Majesty's purpose is to earn expenses for the Inner Mansion through Bohu, so that the Inner Mansion can run freely?" ”

Zhu Hao continued to shake his head: "The expenses of the Inner Mansion have always been allocated from the treasury, if it is raised by His Majesty alone, is it too embarrassing?" In addition, the profit of this mining is also mainly to consolidate coastal defense, so why should Your Majesty say it privately? ”

"Who said that Your Majesty is for personal use? You...... That's it! ”

Sun Jiao found that Zhu Hao's words were not leaky, and he didn't give him a chance to break through at all.

Zhu Hao said: "If there is nothing else to do, I will take Neiko and leave first...... Elder Sun, come back to visit later. ”

"Hmm."

Sun Jiao nodded, originally he still had the heart to ask his daughter how she was doing at her husband's house and whether she was bullied.

But after thinking about it, it didn't make much difference whether he asked or not, so he got up and asked people to go to the inner courtyard to call his daughter out first, and let her leave with her "good son-in-law".

……

……

In the afternoon, when Zhu Hao saw Tang Yin again, Tang Yin had already transformed into a member of the Ministry of Works.

Jiang Lun and Tang Yin walked together, very envious, but after seeing Zhu Hao, Jiang Lun hurriedly took two steps back.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Sir, congratulations." ”

Tang Yin said: "I was already very tired from taking care of Guantian, but now I am asked to open a mine with this old bone?" I don't know what you think. ”

Jiang Lun hurriedly said on the side: "Brother Bohu, can you still work hard for the imperial court?" You have only worked for a few days, and you have already been a member of the court from the fifth grade, and the jinshi next to you has entered the court, I am afraid that it will take three or five years to have such a chance to be promoted, and you may not be able to be promoted. ”

said that he was a little regretful, obviously he went to the Ministry of Rites to be an errand before, but he was beaten under Zhu Hao's design and lost his errand.

Lately, no one has talked about seeking an official position for him.

Tang Yin looked at Zhu Hao: "I think it's good to let Meng Zai take over from me and be the head of this household." ”

"Really?"

Jiang Lun looked excited, obviously this job was very suitable for him.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "A person who is destined to be a nobleman, he still has to worry about developing among the ministers, and more importantly, he must make people feel that he must enter the Governor's Mansion!" If Your Majesty doesn't even distinguish between the humanities and martial arts around him, it will inevitably be criticized. ”

"This ......"

Jiang Lun was sad and joyful, and felt that he was being played with by this pair of masters and apprentices.

Tang Yin said: "That...... I don't know who will take my place? ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "I don't know, maybe you chose me in the end?" ”

Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "If it is really you, it must be proposed by Yang Ge Lao, among the many people around him, it seems that you are the most suitable." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao nodded.

The problem is here, Yang Ting and there are no people around him who are close to Xingwangfu.

If you want to manage Huangzhuang, behind it is a large number of new emperors in the old department of Xingwangfu, find an outsider to sell the land or say it, anyone can go, but if you want to take care of it for a long time, you have to need someone like Zhu Hao who was born in Xingwangfu.

Jiang Lun said: "The head of the household department, but he is only six grades, compared with the revision of the Hanlin Academy...... It's just a downgrade, will Mr. Zhu go? ”

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I may not be able to make a choice then...... Actually, it's okay, anyway, I'm bored and panicked in the Hanlin Academy, and I just came out to do something...... Let's master and apprentice work together to open the mine! ”

Tang Yin looked disgusted: "Come less!" I haven't figured out what you kid has in mind! Besides, do you think you are mining at the foot of the Son of Heaven? ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "It should be like this...... I plan to open a coal kiln in Xishan! ”

Jiang Lun and Tang Yin glanced at each other.

Jiang Lun said: "I heard that it seems to be ...... There are some coal kilns on the Xishan side, and I heard that even the Marquis of Shouning and the Marquis of Jianchang are also mining there. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the situation of private kilns has been repeatedly prohibited, and the imperial court has been restricting the mining around Beijing, for fear of affecting feng shui, but the coal mine itself can not only meet the needs of cooking and heating in Beijing and the surrounding areas, but also place a large number of craftsmen, and can seek benefits for the people who open mines, especially those nobles, who have opened coal kilns privately around Beijing.

Historically, it was not until Jiajing that the mining ban was officially lifted, and several coal-producing areas around the capital officially began to prosper, and the mines became larger and larger in the next few hundred years, and the output became higher and higher.

Tang Yin seemed to understand what Zhu Hao meant, and asked, "Do you want to talk to ...... The Zhang brothers compete for profit? ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "They open theirs, we open ours, and they don't affect each other." ”

Jiang Lun said: "But where there are many mineral deposits, they must have been occupied a long time ago." ”

"Then we'll start from a new place...... The mines are all buried in loess, full of forests, and they know where the mines are richer? Zhu Hao smiled.

Tang Yin was even more puzzled: "Then you know? ”

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "We are opening an official coal kiln, with the permission of the imperial court, Mr. Tang is a member of the Ministry of Works, we can open it as much as we want, if you are afraid that you will not find a rich mine, it is very simple, let the people of the owner of the Su help you find it...... But I don't think it's necessary, because you've forgotten what I'm going to do. ”

"You're going to ...... Do? ”

Tang Yin still didn't understand.

Your kid knows a lot of things, and I really can't think of any of them that fit in with the mine.

On the contrary, Jiang Lun's head was bright: "Mr. Zhu is good at the art of Xuankong, and he is very proficient in feng shui, as long as he goes to the mountain to measure...... Tsk, this bonanza has been found! ”

"Huh."

Tang Yin could only smile bitterly at this.

said that you are a half-immortal who can pinch and calculate, do you really think of yourself as a half-immortal? What do you call the void of public opinion, and can it have anything to do with mining?

Zhu Hao smiled: "Exactly, if you don't believe it, let's see." ”

……

……

Zhu Hao took Tang Yin to see Su Xigui on the same day.

Saying......

Su Xigui also caught up with the tide of opening coal kilns, and he actually opened several coal kilns in the suburbs of Beijing, two of which are still in Xishan, but the output is ...... It's not very high, after all, the good lot is occupied by Xungui, and it is difficult for the businessman himself to open a coal kiln with policy support, fortunately there is Huang Zan to support him, otherwise he would not even have the qualifications to open a coal kiln.

“…… The little master, Mr. Tang, the two of you may not know, around the capital, there are indeed a lot of coal-producing places, but where there are many mines and easy to mine, they must have been occupied, and the beautiful name is called 'dedication', in fact, it is to be taken away by people at a low price, who is not happy, directly serve the yamen! ”

Su Xigui explained the troubles of mining around Jingshi.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "This is a major event that His Majesty has appointed and is supported even by the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry...... Let me introduce you again, Mr. Tang is now a member of the Ministry of Industry Yu Hengqing, who is responsible for both mining and ordnance manufacturing...... Even firearms are in his possession. ”

Su Xigui was stunned: "Why haven't you heard of this?" ”

Tang Yin sighed: "The order just issued today was set by the court. ”

"Oh, if there is such a relationship, Mr. Tang...... Maybe it can really make a difference, but ...... Those nobles are not easy to mess with. ”

Su Xigui was not much surprised.

You think you're a big official?

My brother-in-law used to be the right servant of the household, and now he is still the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, and he should be bullied by Xungui, but there is still no way to do it!

Zhu Hao said: "We don't rely on others to donate, we will dig out the rich mine ourselves, after we get it, can Xungui still come to the door to rob it?" When the time comes, Dongchang and Jinyi Wei will serve and let them know the fate of fighting for food in His Majesty's mouth! ”

Su Xigui was stunned, and immediately said: "Digging the rich mine by yourself, Xungui really doesn't dare to mess around, but ...... I'm afraid that's a bit of a hassle, right? ”

Su Xigui is embarrassed to say, do you think the people who open coal kilns around the capital are laymen?

Instead, you're a layman!

Think it's so easy to open a mine, just find a place to dig a pit, and you can get out of coal?
