Only Zhu Hao, Tang Yin and Su Xigui were left in the conference room of the armor factory.

They are all their own people, and there is no need to hide some words.

Zhu Hao asked Su Xigui with a smile: "Lord Su, this time you have spent a lot of money, you won't feel sorry for the silver, right?" ”

Su Xigui was triumphant: "This is business, the purpose is to make money, how can you feel distressed?" If you want to be rewarded, how can you do it without paying? ”

Tang Yin said: "I didn't ask before, those Jiangnan businessmen who participated in the bidding together are not as much inside as you and me, so they won't have opinions, right?" ”

"Haha."

The smug look on Su Xigui's face did not decrease, "That's their own choice." Speaking of which, there are many people who want to buy this coal kiln, but there are very few who can afford the price, and there are several kinds of businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

It seems that whoever can buy the Xishan coal kiln will be able to make a name for himself in the capital.

said that it was to make a fortune, but in fact, it was not the real purpose at all, which of these businessmen lacked money? It's just a talisman!

"Both, the contemptible people must first go back and raise the silver, and as far as the contemptible people know, those families are not short of silver, and they do not need to use the silver number...... But I never thought that the two families of Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou would also deposit silver to the silver number, in the words of the little master, the effect of this wide publicity is really good, but I don't know...... Will the two uncles find trouble with the silver horn? ”

From Su Xigui's words, it reflects the helplessness of businessmen in these years.

has a good business of making money, but he is always worried that powerful guys will come to get a piece of the pie, and some powerful people can even take the pot away.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "The silver trumpet is Your Majesty's business, how can you make them get their wish?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Su Xigui nodded again and again, "If someone else says this, the contemptible person will not believe it, but the little master is so convincing when he says it, no wonder the little master can do it...... Court...... Half of the Lord, this ability...... Tsk, it's really unbeatable. ”

Tang Yin said angrily: "Don't compliment him, hurry home and carry the silver." ”

Do you have no scruples about what other people think?

I, the gentleman, stood next to me, and you complimented that kid in every possible way, didn't you take me seriously at all?

Su Xigui knew that Tang Yin would not be angry, so he left with a smile.

……

……

Business is done.

Tang Yin was not in a hurry to leave, he had to stay and deal with the aftermath, and he would not be at ease until all the money arrived.

And Zhu Si's original intention was to call Tang Yin and Zhu Hao to have a "celebration banquet" together, but Zhu Hao sent a message that Yang Tinghe was likely to enter the palace to meet him, and advised Zhu Si to take back his life, so Zhu Si had no choice but to return to the palace and wait and see what happened.

In this way, Zhu Hao has become an idler.

Zhu Hao wanted to go back to the Hanlin Courtyard to have a look, but as soon as he came out of the gate of the armor factory, Lu Song appeared in front of him in civilian clothes.

"Sir, Aunt Jiang asked you to come over, saying that the Marquis of Shouning and the Marquis of Jianchang are invited." Lu Song bowed and said.

Zhu Hao slapped his forehead, yes, how could he forget this pair of living treasure brothers?

Let's see what these two guys are going to do.

……

……

Zhu Hao arrived at the meeting wine shop, and a banquet was already set up inside.

But it was Jiang Lun who invited the Zhang brothers to dinner.

"Isn't this Zhu Zhuangyuan?"

Jiang Lun looked at Zhu Hao with a smile and pretended to be unfamiliar.

Zhang Yanling glared at Zhu Hao viciously, and his eyes revealed a tendency to kill.

Zhang Heling pushed his younger brother: "Didn't you see Zhu Zhuangyuan coming?" Still not saluting? ”

"Big brother, are you crazy? Do you want me to salute him? ”

Zhang Yanling turned to glare at his brother.

Zhang Heling didn't go to explain to his younger brother, and said with a smile: "Zhu Zhuangyuan, please sit down, let's discuss it well, what else is there to do and let Benhou ...... Into individual stocks? ”

Zhu Hao glanced at Jiang Lun.

Jiang Lun obviously wouldn't betray him.

That Zhang Heling's move of wanting to find him to do business together is very interesting.

"Shou Ninghou's words, how can you not understand them? In the next is just a scholar, where did you get any good business? Zhu Hao pretended to be confused.

"Yes, big brother, you don't think that the bidding for the coal kiln has anything to do with this kid, do you?"

Zhang Yanling glanced at Zhu Hao and said disdainfully.

Zhang Heling said: "Stupid you, didn't he tell us that day, let us ask the court to sell the coal kiln?" ”

Jiang Lun hurriedly reminded: "Master Hou, you remember wrong, what Zhu Zhuangyuan meant was to ask your majesty to rent the coal kiln to the imperial court and let the imperial court pay the rent?" ”

"Is that so?"

Zhang Heling's eyes widened, and he thought about it for a while before he said, "It seems like this...... But the mind of the little champion is really admirable, Ben Hou thinks, you are a business material, it is better to do this, we will add five ...... to it."

Why do you add two to five?

It's like you want to share the spoils, it's terrible to be uneducated.

"Wait."

Zhu Hao stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhang Heling's words, "If the Marquis of Shouning wants to let him go down and talk to the Yang family about doing business, there is no need, although it is Yang Ge Lao's idea to propose that the imperial court auction the coal kiln, but it is estimated that Yang Ge Lao does not know about the matter of letting the two marquis deposit the silver into the silver number, but he can't return the silver to the two immediately." ”

Zhu Hao speculated that the Zhang family was beating around the bush, and it seemed that they wanted to talk to him about business, but in fact they wanted to achieve two purposes: one was to take advantage of the auction of coal kilns in the imperial court, but this matter had nothing to do with him on the surface, and it was impossible for the Zhang brothers to discuss with him.

In this way, it can only be the second purpose, that is, the more than 80,000 taels of silver obtained from the auction of the coal kiln, they want to get it all at once, and they don't want to deposit the silver number.

Jiang Lun hurriedly said: "Exactly, this matter is made by His Majesty, and Zhu Zhuangyuan can't help it." ”

Zhang Heling's face fell: "In this way, Zhu Zhuangyuan doesn't give Ben Hou face?" ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "It's not a question of whether to give face or not...... In the next person's soft words, there is no way to call the shots in this kind of matter, or Shou Ninghou will find the son of the Yang family to come and talk about it? ”

"That's it!"

At this time, Zhang Heling finally saw that Zhu Hao in front of him really couldn't control the overall situation, and he was not a person!

Since Zhu Hao has no use value, he turned his face quickly, and his attitude became extremely bad: "Ben Hou wants to eat with Uncle Jiang Jiaguo, if it's okay, please take care of yourself!" ”

The speed of turning his face made Jiang Lun, who was watching, speechless.

Zhu Hao smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I just have something else to do, say goodbye." ”

"......"

Jiang Lun felt that treating Zhu Hao was too lenient, and now even if he was the emperor's nominal uncle, he knew that he couldn't afford to offend this big celebrity in front of the emperor, so he quickly got up and kept him.

Zhu Hao smiled and turned around and patted Jiang Lun's shoulder: "Aunt Jiang has accompanied the two Hou Masters well, and I will say goodbye." I'll get back in touch when I have time. ”

……

……

Zhu Hao returned to Hanlin Courtyard and did not see Yang Shen.

Yu Chengxun, who didn't want to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, had already returned.

"Respectfully, come over here."

Yu Chengxun called Zhu Hao to him.

Originally, Hanlin editors Fei Maozhong and Lun Yixun were reading the materials in their respective seats, and when they saw that there was something to discuss here, they got up and consciously left the repair room.

Yu Chengxun said: "I have heard about the follow-up matters over there in the armor factory, have you gone to find out the truth with Tang Yin?" ”

Zhu Hao knew that it was no secret that he had entered the armor factory, at that time, Yang Shen and Yu Chengxun's attention was all on Tang Yin's sudden auction of the new exploration coal mine, no one cared about what he had done, but in order to avoid mistakes, he decided to tell the truth.

"I went into the armor factory and took a look, and I saw that those merchants were discussing with Tang Yin about the payment of money and goods. If the Ministry of Work or the Ministry of Household is removed at this time, everything may be recovered. Zhu Hao said.

Yu Chengxun sighed: "I went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, but no one paid attention to it...... Alas, Your Majesty is not familiar with the old law, saying that it is pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, but in fact, it is just a nonsense, and the people around Your Majesty not only do not advise, but also help to abuse, colleagues discuss and oppose it, and respectfully say Are you willing to join forces? ”

Zhu Haoxin said, come to the joint advice again?

Please, can you have some fresh tricks? This makes me deal with it, nothing new, can it make it a little more difficult for me?

"Yes."

Zhu Hao agreed without hesitation, "But there is one thing that I don't know whether to talk about or not." ”

"You say."

Yu Chengxun said.

Zhu Hao was a little helpless: "Before, regarding the disposal of the coal kiln of Zhang's relatives, I came forward many times, mingled among the old officials of Xingwangfu, and found out some information, you said that I participated in the joint name at this time, will they strengthen their guard against me?" Maybe it will be difficult to gain their trust in the future! ”

The implication is that you can't let me be an undercover agent and step on each other to death, right?

So how else can I get information?

Yu Chengxun thought for a while: "This is indeed a problem...... That...... I'll ask him about the repair, and it's up to him to decide. However, if you want to co-sign, be sure to complete it before sunset today...... From now on, you don't go anywhere, just wait here for news. ”

……

……

Yang House.

Yang Tinghe went home at noon and saw his son Yang Shen.

On the same day, Yang Tinghe intended to enter the palace to directly admonish the king, and attacked the little emperor who he had supported with his own hands, but after seeing Sun Jiao, he was poured cold water on his head, and most of the fire of anger in his heart was extinguished.

Calming down, he began to think of ways to deal with it.

When he entered the palace to face the saint on the same day, it seemed that it was useless, so it was better to mobilize and contact more officials to give the little emperor a fatal blow when he came to the Japanese court.

“…… Are you saying that Zhu Hao didn't know anything about this? ”

When Yang Tinghe came back, he asked his son.

The point is why the emperor let Tang Yin make such a rebellious move, and no one got any information beforehand, so that there was no defense here, which made the civil official group fall into great passivity.

Yang Shen said: "Father, this matter is very important, don't say that he just went over to spy on the other party's truth temporarily, even if he is His Majesty's person, the other party may not tell a young offspring such a confidential matter, right?" ”

Yang Shen was afraid that his father would be angry with Zhu Hao.

Before, it was said that Zhu Hao would be asked to listen to the enemy's intelligence, but the new emperor strictly kept secrets, and I am afraid that there are only a few core people who know the inside story, where can Zhu Hao inquire?

Father, you have a lot of eyeliner in the court, don't you also know all about it, and you were caught off guard by the new emperor?

Yang Tinghe's face was gloomy: "I thought my father knew, and the merchants, especially the merchants in the Jianghuai land and the south, seemed to have known about this for a long time. ”

Yang Shen said: "Er has sent someone to inquire, but it is the year after the year that the Jingshi has been rumoring that the imperial court is exploring coal kilns in Xishan, and the merchants have paid more attention and want to get a piece of the pie."

"It's a pity that no one here cares, after all, it is still unknown how much coal these newly explored coal kilns can produce, who would be stupid to put money into it? In retrospect, it was just someone taking the opportunity to send silver to His Majesty in exchange for long-term benefits! ”
