Household Yamen.

Yang Tinghe came to the door in person, Sun Jiao wanted to go home early that day to rest, but he was shocked when he got the report, how did he recruit Yang Ting and this evil star?

Sun Jiao and Qin Jin, the left attendant of the household department, went to the gate of the yamen to greet Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe came alone this time, didn't say anything in front of Qin Jin, and immediately retreated when he entered the official room, and talked to Sun alone.

Sun Jiao asked puzzledly: "But is it a matter of official land?" ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Today, His Majesty sent Tang Bohu to the armor factory to sell coal kilns, and Brother Zhi didn't know about it?" ”

"Oh?"

Of course Sun Jiao knew, and he knew no less than Yang Tinghe, but he didn't want to publicize it to the public, but he didn't know that Tang Bohu auctioned the newly explored coal mines at the same time that day, and asked in surprise: "I've heard of it, but ...... Isn't this the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry? ”

Yang Tinghe said coldly: "Today, Tang Bohu does not distinguish between public and private, and in the name of the inner government, he will sell the newly explored coal kiln together. ”

Sun Jiao was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "It's impossible!" ”

Yang Tinghe asked: "Do like-minded brothers really don't know?" ”

Sun Jiao saw Yang Tinghe's suspicious eyes, and he was very anxious, Tang Yin naturally knew that he had explored the coal mine, but the problem was, it hadn't arrived yet, and the coal mine that had just been explored could be successfully sold?

When those businessmen are stupid?

There are no prospects for profit in coal mines, but some people dare to buy them?

Sun Jiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Jiefu, did you investigate first?" Even if Bohu intends to sell it, no one will buy it, which is different from the coal kilns owned by the Marquis of Shouning and the Marquis of Jianchang, the imperial court has never had a government-run coal kiln in Xishan in the past, and you should be very clear about this. ”

There was no in the past, and now there can only be explored at the beginning of the year, so it is absolutely impossible for Yang Tinghe to say that the situation he said.

Yang Tinghe said with a dark face: "As far as I know, in the first coal kiln, someone successfully bid for 60,000 taels of silver, and the second and third places are still being sold, and I heard that the price of the second place has exceeded 40,000 taels ......."

"Huh?"

Sun Jiao managed the household department in the end, and was very sensitive to the amount of money and grain.

He was eager to ask.

Are you sure it's not six hundred taels or six thousand taels?

If it's 60,000 taels, it's not a coal kiln, but a gold mine!

Yang Tinghe saw that Sun Jiao's reaction was not like a fake, and said coldly: "If the same brother does not know, he will enter the palace with the headquarters to face the saint." ”

Saying that, Yang Tinghe got up and was about to take Sun Jiao into the palace to reason with Zhu Si.

"Wait."

Sun Jiao hurriedly stopped Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe turned his head and looked at him with a vicious gaze, Sun Jiao was a little confused, and he didn't know why Yang Tinghe had such a big reaction.

Sun Jiao said in a snort: "Jie...... Jiefu, the imperial court sold the coal kiln to ...... Isn't it a good thing to fill the deficit in the treasury? Besides, the issue of coastal defense in the southeast has remained unresolved until now, and since the end of the Hongzhi era, the pirates and pirates have not been properly eliminated, and at this time, ......"

Yang Tinghe interrupted Sun Jiao's words with a straight face: "When Tang Yin entered the city, he went to the mansion with Zhu Hao to pay a visit, didn't he mention this matter at all?" ”

Sun Jiao's head seemed to have been knocked hard.

Feelings for you Yang Tinghe sent someone to spy on me? I actually know that Tang Yin and Zhu Hao came to my house to pay a visit? You don't know what they told me, do you?

No wonder you see me today, as if you have eaten gunpowder, you think I am the new emperor's gang.

"Even if you have seen it, it is impossible for such a secret to be mentioned in front of the old decay. The old man has never been involved in such things, and you Yang Jiefu Hugh wants to wronged people! ”

Sun Jiao was also annoyed.

Yang Ting is too much with you.

In order to fight with the new emperor, now burn the fire on me, an old guy who has always deliberately remained neutral, are you really worthy of our old friendship?

In terms of age, I am older than you, and in terms of seniority, my grandson is no worse than you Yang Tinghe!

Yang Tinghe saw that Sun Jiao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and he had a posture of breaking off friendship, and immediately reflected, maybe he was aggressive, which made Sun Jiao have a rebellious mentality, but the tone of his voice was still very impulsive: "This time, Your Majesty sold the coal kiln in the name of the inner government, or adopted the bidding method, and let the merchants bid, if something goes wrong in the follow-up, won't the people accuse the court of competing with the people for profit?" ”

Sun Jiao sighed: "Since it is a bidding, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, and it is not forced to buy and sell, relying on ability and vision, regardless of gains and losses." Jiefu, what you care about is not the reputation of the court, right? ”

Yang Tinghe was annoyed for a while, but it was difficult to refute.

"Rules are dead, people are alive, if you want to reason with Your Majesty, it's okay, but it shouldn't be my household." Sun Jiaodao, "Even if you let the old man go, you should call the Ministry of Works, or it is not too late to propose it when you come to the Japanese court." ”

Yang Tinghe said: "As soon as this case was opened, the rules of the DPRK and China disappeared. ”

Sun Jiao shook his head: "Let's deal with it indifferently, at least Your Majesty has not messed with my ancestral law today, and I will not go today, but if I come to Japan to discuss it, I am still willing to stand with you!" Please forgive me if you have any offense! ”

In the past, Sun Jiao didn't want to stand between the new emperor and Yang Tinghe, and now he doesn't want to.

But the balance in his heart has faintly tilted towards the little emperor.

Sun Jiao is not a fool, with his eyes in politics for many years, how can he not see that in fact, Yang Tinghe and the new emperor's fighting method have been falling behind because of the limited rules? And on the side of the new emperor, Tang Yin and Zhu Hao did not play cards according to the routine.

Now that Yang Tinghe has vaguely revealed his defeat, Sun Jiao is only nominally standing with Yang Tinghe at this time, but in fact, he wants to watch the fire from the other side.

……

……

Outside the armor factory.

The auction of the three coal mines was successfully concluded.

The starting price is not high.

But the price was surprisingly high.

The first auction fetched 60,000 taels, the highest premium.

The second sold for 45,000 taels.

There are also thirty-five thousand taels in the third place.

These three coal mines alone made the inner government net 140,000 taels, plus the previous auction of Zhang's foreign relatives coal mines, with a total value of 220,000 taels.

Because eighty percent of the silver of the Zhang brothers needs to be temporarily stored in the silver number, and the actual payment is more than 16,000 taels, this auction alone will allow the inner government to raise 200,000 taels of silver, but this batch of silver will not all be transferred to the southeast.

According to Zhu Hao's vision, this is the start-up capital for the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty, which will be used to open mines in Xishan, as well as smelting workshops, as well as more metal and firearms workshops around Beijing.

Zhu Hao also wants to build a ship in the Bohai Sea.

Relying on Zhu Hao to raise silver by himself is obviously unrealistic, the cost is too great, and the additional silver to be added in the future is also an astronomical amount, and the cost alone will exceed 100,000 taels in a year, and you will not be able to see much return in a few years.

It is even more impossible to rely on the imperial court to allocate silver, and the civil officials led by Yang Tinghe will definitely not agree to such a large unplanned consumption.

If you want to wait for Yang Tinghe to fall, then the industrial plan will have to be launched a few years later, and at that time, Zhu Hao will not be able to become the first assistant of the cabinet, and he will still be held hostage by civilian officials everywhere.

The best thing to do, as it is now.

Looking for a reason, it was the gap in the southeast coastal defense, deliberately forcing Yang Tinghe to make trouble for the new emperor, and letting Zhu Si take the initiative to take the initiative to undertake the errand of raising money, food, and ordnance, and take this opportunity to use the resources that the imperial court can mobilize, such as mineral mining rights, to raise enough funds from the people.

With the start-up capital, the giant ship of Zhu Hao's industrialization of the Ming Dynasty can be launched.

Although it is still a little early to set sail, everything is difficult at the beginning, and Zhu Hao feels that this start is not bad.

The auction ends.

Yang Shen left first, obviously in a hurry to go home and discuss countermeasures with his father.

And Zhu Hao was leisurely, slowly pacing out of the tea shop, and he couldn't meet Zhu Si at this time, because according to the plan, Zhu Si had returned to the palace to deal with emergencies, and it was very good to meet Tang Yin.

Inside the armor factory.

“…… Then this mining license will be issued by the Ministry of Industry, and His Majesty will use the imperial treasure to approve it in these two days, and then there will be a brocade guard to maintain this matter! ”

Tang Yin was talking to Su Xigui and three other businessmen who had won the new coal mine about the mining license.

There is not only the official of the Ministry of Industry, but also the emperor's imperial treasure as a guarantee.

For ordinary businessmen, a mining license alone can be used as an heirloom.

Zhu Hao watched Tang Yin talk eloquently beside him, his face was radiant, and he couldn't help nodding in approval.

Tang Yin had already discovered Zhu Hao's figure, but he was still focused on the work at hand.

"You should send the money as soon as possible, and it must be done within a day, and the mining license from the Ministry of Industry will be processed immediately." Tang Yin said.

Su Xigui stood up and helped Zhang Luo: "Everyone, hurry up and go back and bring the silver, if there is a shortcoming, you can directly withdraw it from the silver number, and you can get the silver number as collateral for the field house and other properties." ”

"Su Dang, are you making fun of us? If there is no silver, who would dare to wade into this river? A businessman next to him laughed.

Su Xigui said with a smile: "Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, you should know Mr. Tang's ability, he is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, the best candidate for the future department, are you buying a mining kiln?" That's buying a road, a big road to the sky. ”

That sounds awkward.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, why don't you say that you bought a path to heaven?

However, this is very useful for those businessmen.

Although it is nominally a coal mine bought by three companies, in fact, the cheapest No. 3 coal mine is bought by two companies with equal shares, so four companies, including Su Xigui, acted as the first to eat crabs.

……

……

Except for Su Xigui, everyone went back first and hurried to send silver here.

After the person is gone.

Tang Yin branched out the people from the armor factory and took Su Xigui to Zhu Hao.

Tang Yin said: "Your Majesty is gone?" ”

Su Xigui was taken aback, could it be that the emperor was also there before?

That own performance...... Was it seen by the emperor himself?

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Commander Zhu has escorted His Majesty back to the palace, and Yang Yongxiu has also gone back. ”

"Alas!"

Tang Yin sighed, "Then it is estimated that Yang Ge is in a hurry now, the wood is already in the boat, and the cabinet doesn't even have a countermeasure, so far I haven't even seen anyone from the Ministry of Industry...... It seems that you are still overthinking. ”

Su Xigui listened to the conversation between the master and apprentice, and immediately understood that Zhu Hao was the one behind the plan, and Tang Yin was a businessman.

Zhu Hao's plan must include how to send officials from the Ministry of Industry to stop the auction.

But the Ministry of Industry realized that it did not take any action, so everyone saved trouble.
