Yu Qian obviously knew that Zhang Anshi already belonged to him.

He pondered for a moment, and did not bother to refuse, but said with a straight face: "If His Highness does not give up, then the lower officials will naturally do their best." ”

He did his best, and Zhang Anshi was obviously very satisfied.

He knew that Yu Qian was a man who kept his promises, and once he made a promise, he would not change it.

Yu Qian is famous in history, in addition to his effective organization of the defense of the capital and the continuation of the Ming Dynasty's national honor, it is his honesty and honesty and promise.

Once such a person promises, in the future customs affairs, it can be said that Zhang Anshi does not need to have any worries at all.

The customs fee, even if it is a copper plate, will be recorded in the account.

Zhang Anshi was in a happy mood and said very casually: "It's late at night, let's go and rest early." ”

Yu Qian nodded, he had a strange feeling in his heart.

In essence, he is a scholar, and he still believes in the Four Books and Five Classics, but when he came to the Taiping Mansion, it was obvious that the people here lived and worked in peace and contentment more than in other places.

】

And Zhang Anshi's trust in him is even beyond everyone's imagination.

Now, he's finally going to get involved in the real thing.

To be precise, this is not just meddling, it is simply directly starting to be in charge of the lifeblood of the Taiping Mansion, which makes him laugh.

He thought to himself that no matter what, he could do his own thing according to the requirements of the saint, and if so, he would be worthy of doing something for the world.

The vassal kings entered the capital one after another.

In addition to the very grand courtesy, the emperor personally set up a banquet to entertain him, when everyone was looking forward to the most important trade affairs, they found that His Majesty was gone.

And Zhang Anshi seems to have disappeared without a trace all of a sudden.

It's strange to say, it is clear that when everyone pushes the cup, His Majesty and Zhang Anshi are very enthusiastic, and when the wine is over, because of the wine, everyone can't wait to hug and sue together.

But when it came time to talk about serious affairs, the old and the young seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

is responsible for contacting them, but it is Zhu Jin, who always has a fake smile on his face, and Gao Xiang, who has a straight face and is selfless.

"What His Highness promised, I don't know, I don't care, I was only ordered to contact and do business, not only to make money with harmony, but also to have a bottom line, otherwise, this deal will not be done."

Zhu Jin smiled and made the opening remarks first.

Gao Xiang on the side added: "It is precisely because it is a major event, since I am a minister, I should act impartially, and we already know a little about the situation of each domain. ”

"This requires large-scale trade and close cooperation, a large number of shipbuilding, countless merchants willing to invest gold and silver, the construction of ports, the opening of mines, and the construction of roads...... These...... Which one, which one, is not a silver for nothing, so here in the Taiping Mansion, some regulations can be drafted, Your Highness, please take a look. ”

The clerks on the side began to distribute the articles of association that had already been printed.

The kings looked down one after another, and in this charter, it was clear that if it was mining, it would be almost everything from tariffs to the development of various minerals.

After everyone saw it, they exchanged ears, this agreement was far more lenient than they imagined.

In fact, it is for mutual benefit.

After all, for the vassal states, their land, agriculture, and minerals are not worth much, and if they are given a shipload of ordnance, they can take a radius of hundreds of miles in a month.

However, the medicines, firearms, and a steady stream of merchant ships in Taiping Province were of great benefit to them.

At that moment, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, took the lead in expressing his position: "This is easy to say, there is no problem with this king." ”

Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, also bowed his head and said: "Yes, there is no problem with this king, since it has been agreed, then it must not be changed." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Three days later, Zhu Jin came to see Zhang Anshi with an agreement, and said with a smile in front of him: "Your Highness, everything is in order." ”

Zhang Anshi's eyes suddenly revealed a hint of luster, and he smiled: "In this way, I can be regarded as having a big stone in my heart." ”

"But ......" Zhu Jin thought for a while, and said: "But Your Highness, the lower officials are a little puzzled, the conditions given to them this time are too lenient, in the opinion of the lower officials, in fact, the conditions can be more harsh, and the kings will be willing to accept it." ”

Zhu Jin has already obtained the shadow official, and he can also call himself a subordinate official.

A businessman can get an official position, he is the first person in the world.

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Do business, of course, everyone has to have benefits, if we take all the benefits, even if this agreement is signed, sooner or later it will be invalid." Instead of this, we might as well make each step forward, so that we can be inseparable, and no one can do without anyone. ”

Zhu Jin looked suddenly enlightened, and said admiringly: "Your Highness is right." ”

"Besides." Zhang Anshi smiled and continued: "In the long run, it seems that everyone has benefits to this agreement, but the real meat is all eaten by the Taiping Mansion, and they are just sharing a mouthful of soup!" If you think about it, the Taiping Mansion is unique, and all the vassal states depend on the Taiping Mansion, but what about the various vassal states? ”

"In fact, they are the one who competes, whether it is grain or mines, or other things, their trade in Taiping Mansion coincides, which ensures that their things, because they have to compete with each other, it is difficult to sell them at a high price, but the scarcity of commercial goods in Taiping Mansion is equivalent to mastering the pricing power of buying and selling, which is the best profit among them."

Zhu Jin thought about it carefully, and then said with a smile: "Your Highness is still far-sighted......

Zhang Anshi said: "You don't come to this set, don't you understand the truth?" It's just that you don't think it's enough and want to earn more. My brother-in-law is the crown prince, and all the kings are the prince's relatives, and they are also my relatives! How can I take all the benefits alone? Always leave a little soup and water for people, and the leftovers are cold, even if it's meat scraps, if not, is it still a person? ”

Zhu Jin smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Anshi's heart was surging at this moment, he stood still, put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and felt that he was all moved by himself.

At this time, he said with emotion: "Wuhu, it's time to take off!" ”

At the moment, for the people of the world, they obviously have not seen the biggest benefit behind this.

Some people even felt that the Taiping Mansion was isolated from the world, and there was a lot of resistance to the implementation of the new policy in the 18 provinces, so they had no choice but to make the idea of going to sea.

Although the Ming Dynasty has opened the sea, or even if a large number of vassal kings have begun to seal their domains outside the territory, people still do not have much knowledge of overseas.

It's nothing more than a barbarian land, and I have everything in China.

This impression is deeply ingrained in the minds of all people.

Although compared to overseas, Da Ming can indeed be called rich, but they obviously don't know a truth, those undeveloped wild lands, in a sense, have room for appreciation.

It's as if everyone is vying to buy all the fertile land that has been reclaimed, but the price of this fertile land is already high, and the value has reached its peak, but Zhang Anshi chose to open up the wasteland!

Wasteland is worthless, but its future appreciation is unlimited.

A few days later, Zhu Di issued an edict.

This can be regarded as the king of Wuhu and the vassal states have completely concluded all the agreements, and the palace has made a determination, bought and left, and then it is a matter of implementation.

Therefore, the Taiping Customs was prepared.

The United Bank began to issue a large number of loans, especially in the shipbuilding business, which is now the most popular.

At the same time, Qian Zhuang began to implement the insurance business of sea vessels, which is a lot of danger, to some extent, for many businessmen, going to sea is a big gamble, but with insurance, everyone can share the risk evenly and ensure profitability.

Since then, Qixia Commercial Bank has announced a large investment.

Many businessmen have made a lot of money in Qixia, and now, they are also holding silver in their hands, paying attention to this big move.

There are even many commercial houses, which have obviously seen business opportunities and have secretly begun to lay out.

At this time, the vassal states began to cooperate and granted a large number of preferential treatments.

In addition, Qixia's ordnance workshop began to expand on a large scale.

News after news, dazzling.

Almost every day, there is new news in the newspaper.

Naturally, the vast majority of people don't understand it, but there are also people who pay close attention, except for a lot of businessmen! They tend to be extremely sensitive to these, after all...... Having suffered losses in the past, sometimes realizing it later, can cause huge losses.

There are also many readers who always pay attention to the content of some newspapers.

As for the news about Qi Xia, it's just incidental.

At this time, in an inn not far from the Confucian Temple, many young scholars were gathering together.

These are the scholars who came to Beijing to participate in the scientific examination, the transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, once the person was lifted, in order not to delay the examination, often the scholars from all over the country would enter Beijing in advance, live in the capital to study, and deal with the imperial examination at any time.

An inn like the Temple of Literature is a place where people often come.

Many people here read the newspaper and couldn't help but show relief.

They couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said: "Now it seems that this Wuhu County King is also well aware of his new policy, and it is already unsustainable in my Ming Dynasty." Now...... But the idea was beaten outside the territory, this barbarian land, does it even need a new deal? ”

Someone shook his head and said nothing.

Some people also laughed and said: "This new deal is a barbarian law, isn't it just the right time?" ”

And they burst into laughter.

Someone strangely said to a quiet reader on the side: "Why don't you talk about sex today?" ”

This person who is called sex and sex is Ma Yu of Shandong, after Ma Yu entered Beijing, he also loves to read Di Bao, of course, this is also a matter of no way, the imperial examination also involves 'policy theory', but to test the policy theory well, you have to understand the affairs of the world.

He is also a talented man in Shandong, and this time he entered Beijing, he was also full of ambition, and everyone was amazed by his talent and learning, and they were happy to associate with him.

In the past, Ma Yu also laughed and scolded the new policy, but these days, he keeps reading the newspaper, but he seems to be silent.

"yes, sex and a few words."

Ma Yu smiled bitterly: "I'm not in good health today, I didn't talk about sex, I'll talk about it another day." ”

After that, he gave up his hands, said goodbye to everyone, and went back to his room to rest.

Seeing that the young master was like this, Ma San, the servant who came with him, thought he was sick, and while cleaning up the bed, he said with concern: "Young master, do you want to invite a doctor?" ”

Ma Yu sat on the chair with a slight frown, but suddenly said in response to the question: "Qixia's side, are they all building ships?" ”

"Yes, I heard that the price of the ship is going to rise to the sky now...... Ma San said: "I still heard that if it involves maritime trade, the loan given by the money bank is willing, as long as the mortgage is sufficient, it does not need much review, and it will be issued directly...... And ......"

Speaking of this, Ma San suddenly smiled, scratched his head with his hand and said: "I forgot that the young master never liked to listen to this, then again, young master, our entanglement may not be enough, Shandong has suffered disasters in the past two years, and the old master is not having a good time, and there is still a third young master...... He is a good gambler, he has lost so much family business, and I don't know if you can go to high school next year, young master, if not...... I'm just afraid ......"

Ma San didn't continue to say the following words, but his face was full of worry.

Ma Yu bowed his head, he pursed his lips and lowered his head to think about something, and after half a sound, he said suddenly: "I heard that some time ago, Zhao Wangren waited for malaria and was cured in medical school?" ”

Ma San nodded and said, "Yes, I said that there is some magic medicine." ”

Ma Yu's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said, "If that's the case...... If that's the case......"

Ma San finally noticed that Ma Yu was unusual, and looked at Ma Yu strangely and said, "Young Master, what's wrong with you......"

Ma Yu said, "You are from Dengzhou, right?" ”

Ma San didn't understand why Ma Yu suddenly asked this, but he also said honestly: "Yes, the small one is from Dengzhou." ”

Ma Yu continued: "Your ancestors, didn't someone go to sea too? ”

Ma San was stunned for a moment, and then complained with a little sadness: "It's very bitter outside, there are pirates, and it's easy to get sick...... I won't lose my life......"

Ma Yu is a native of Shandong, during the Yuan Dynasty, Quanzhou and Dengzhou and Laizhou in Shandong were important ports, and Ma Yu had heard a lot of things since he was a child.

Overall, this going to sea is a terrifying affair for Ma Yu. For example, diseases, pirates, wind and waves, people who go to sea are often regarded as inferior.

This is all because if a person does not reach a situation where there is no way out, he will definitely not go to sea with the ship.

But at the same time, another impression people have of going to sea is windfall profits.

During the Yuan Dynasty, many big food merchants and Han maritime merchants were rich in the world, and Ma Yu had heard of these.

Ma Yu came from a scholarly family, and his ancestors also participated in the trade of maritime merchants, of course, not to go to sea, but to buy strange goods of maritime merchants, so he made a lot of money.

And now, after reading the various measures in the newspaper, Ma Yu suddenly had some ideas.

In addition to the reliance on medicine to cure diseases, the shared risk through insurance, the large amount of borrowing, and the encouragement of shipbuilding, the various vassal states were not foreigners, but they were all brothers and sons of His Majesty today, which also meant that the maritime merchants did not go to foreign countries to go to sea, and they all shared the same language and writing.

After reading the new measures in the Di newspaper every day, Ma Yu can feel that almost every government decree is the bull's-eye, and it is paving the way for maritime trade everywhere.

"In the past, I looked down on the Taiping Mansion, thinking that it would only expropriate and expropriate, but now it seems that it is really powerful, and every place is the right medicine, it seems that it ...... The future of this Taiping Mansion is really immeasurable. Ma Yu sighed and couldn't help shaking his head.

He actually has some regrets, in essence, he is hostile to the Taiping Mansion, and his impression of Zhang Anshi can't be worse.

can be recognized by him, but this Ma Yu knows very well that this matter is ...... The impact may be far beyond the imagination of his classmates and peers.

Ma San said at this time: "Young master, we are not enough, we have to hurry up and send a letter and ask the master to send some silver." Young master, you are too honest, among the young master's brothers, you are the most competitive young master, but this little bit of belongings is the least you ask for......"

"Silver...... Be...... It's ......"

Ma Yu muttered in his mouth, as if he suddenly remembered something, stood up reluctantly, paced up, and looked thoughtful.

Ma San didn't know what to do, and said loudly: "Young master......"

Ma Yu looked up at Ma Sandao at this time: "You said, on the Qian Zhuang's side, if you use your merit as a guarantee, you can pawn the silver and get a loan, right?" ”

Ma San was startled, frowned, and said, "Young master...... How can you say such a thing, this ...... Isn't that a joke? Although we are not entangled enough, we are ...... There is always a way to think of a way, how can you make such a decision? ”

Ma Yu shook his head, but his eyes became stern, and said: "Actually, you can't give it a try, they have to make a mortgage, but they are afraid that someone will not pay back the silver, I am a township to try to raise people, and I will try it soon, my family is in Shandong, although it is not a famous family, but it is also a scholarly family." Maybe you can give it a try, but if you don't give it a try, how do you know? ”

Ma San looked at Ma Yu coldly and said, "Young Master, ...... you are"

Ma Yu's expression at this time showed a bit of solemnity, and said: "I have to get a sum of silver to buy a ship, and the price of this ship will definitely rise again in the future, not only that, if I expect it to be true, as long as there is a ship, I will be able to get several times the profit, and when the time comes, I will not worry about the lack of silver." ”

Ma Yu paused, but his eyes lit up again, and then said: "I have another idea, there must be a lot of people like me, why don't you take the lead with me and teach everyone to buy a boat together?" ”

"The price of this sea ship is very expensive, but there are also people who covet it, but the capital is insufficient, if it is purchased in partnership with others, and I am worried about breeding trouble, but I am a person, if I can take the lead and guarantee, this matter can be done!"

Saying that, Ma Yu instructed Ma San: "Ma San, hire a car for me, I will go to Qixia immediately." ”
