Chapter 37: Count You Acquaintance
Soon, Zhao Hongxue was so excited that he moistened his dry throat, and hurriedly said, "Is this true? ”
"Seriously."
Zhao Hongxue suddenly saw hope.
Seven million taels of silver was not much for him.
After all, no matter how much Jinyiwei checks, he only checks according to the map.
In fact, Zhao Hongxue has accumulated wealth over the years, and has already accumulated a huge wealth of tens of millions of taels of silver.
Now I can take out seven million taels and change my life.
That's a sure bet.
As for the so-called other additions, they are given important responsibilities.
Zhao Hongxue didn't think deeply, he just felt that it was just the temptation of the horse master to him.
A second ago, he was standing with one foot in the ghost gate.
In the next second, the whole person was reborn.
Zhao Hongxue couldn't believe it.
"Xu Xianchun, Yu Jinshan, you all heard it. Later, I will take Lord Zhao to exchange for silver taels. ”
"Yes."
As long as Zhao Hongxue made a promise, Zhou Xian did not panic at all.
On the contrary, I was a little relieved.
Now with silver, the military salaries of the border towns of the Ming Dynasty can be consolidated for a period of time.
In addition, it can also provide disaster relief to various places.
The most important thing is to support Song Yingxing's Ministry of Agriculture.
Let him work out a set of cultivation columns as soon as possible.
In preparation for the upcoming autumn and winter seasons.
Just when Zhao Hongxue was still immersed in joy, Zhou Xian said: "Lord Zhao, I plan to let you restart the Foreign Affairs Bureau. ”
That's right, the Ming Dynasty had a Westernization Bureau.
In fact, at the peak of the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di's level.
The Ming Dynasty created the Foreign Transport Division.
The famous Zheng He's voyage to the West in history originated from that incident.
In addition, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Japanese had begun to pose a threat to the seaside of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the Emperor of the Apocalypse once again set up the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
It's just that after the apocalypse explosion, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty clashed with the water many times.
Later, the co-ordination of the Foreign Affairs Bureau was also gone.
Until it is deserted.
Now Zhou Xian has re-mentioned the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
Zhao Hongxue's heart was very shocked.
He didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous horse master would actually want to emulate the magnificent exploits of the Yongle Emperor and open the sea!
However, when the sea was opened during this period, wasn't it obvious that it was attracting the Japanese to their homes?
After all, the biggest internal disaster in the Ming Dynasty at this stage is still Li Zicheng.
Zhou Xian was actually not so eager for success.
He said lightly: "I understand that the Foreign Affairs Bureau can't prepare at the current juncture. ”
"But this has been put on my agenda, and you are here to prepare for the revitalization of the Salt Bureau."
"You have to plan for when to revitalize, how to revitalize, and what development concepts are needed."
Finding that Zhao Hongxue was a little hesitant, Zhou Xian also gave him a booster: "This errand belongs to your opportunity to make meritorious contributions." If you do well, I will admit you to the cabinet and ask the Emperor for a gift of death spare. ”
The cabinet in front of him, Zhao Hongxue felt fragrant in his dreams.
As for the death-free iron coupons in the back, Zhao Hongxue didn't take it seriously.
After all, the iron coupon of the Ming Dynasty has seriously shrunk in gold content.
Starting from the founding monarch of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, how many Huaixi nobles with iron coupons to avoid death have been beheaded?
Later, those who had a gold medal for avoiding death had no good end.
But when you enter the cabinet, you will definitely be promoted from a third-rank to a first-class duke.
Such an opportunity is something that Sanpin can never look forward to in his life.
After all, the Grand Duke of Yipin in any dynasty has more or less some connection with the imperial relatives.
What is Zhao Hongxue's background?
He comes from a humble background!
It can be regarded as the biggest civil official of the Ming Dynasty.
It is incompatible with the inner circle of the Donglin Party.
It sounds like he's a Donglin Party, but the members don't want to see him.
His awkward position in the Donglin Party is the same as that of Turkey in NATO now.
So he has been very depressed all these years.
But it is a cabinet that Zhou Xian promised.
It completely surpassed Zhao Hongxue's imagination.
Even he was in a bit of a trance and felt that it was unrealistic.
Is Zhou Xian deceiving him? Teasing him?
He felt that this horse master was completely an impression stream.
I simply don't understand what it means to restart maritime border defense.
You know, the customs defense line was a complete gold-swallowing beast in the ancient imperial era.
Even the Ming Dynasty in its heyday was almost emptied of his family by Zheng He.
What's more, the current Ming Dynasty has long been strong in the outside world.
But Zhao Hongxue was unwilling to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
After all, if he can survive, can he contradict the colt?
can only do whatever the horse master asks him to do.
"Okay, you go and prepare, it's best to leave within three or five days."
Zhou Xian settled Zhao Hongxue for a while, and then planned to leave the Zhenfu Division.
However, when he walked to the door, he did not forget to tell Zhao Hongxue: "Lord Zhao, there is a sentence, I have always wanted to tell the scholars and doctors in the Ming Dynasty. ”
"But they don't have that fate and blessing, so I'll make an exception to tell you about it today."
"Please also show the horse master."
Zhao Hongxue looked respectful.
Zhou Xian said with a smile: "I know that the Donglin Party above the court wants to impeach me, and even goes against some of the policies I have issued before, completely despising or even neglecting it. ”
"Because they think that as long as His Majesty comes back to take charge of the government, my policies will be abolished. Everything will return to square one according to their plan. ”
"So they're all messing around, lying flat and being lazy officials, show me."
"I've seen it all, and I'll follow the ups and downs of my mood, and cut off a few disobedient heads."
"Until all my plans are put into practice and they are effective."
Zhou Xian's words seemed to be to deter Zhao Hongxue, but in fact, he was also pointing at the other party.
After all, his life was given to him by Zhou Xian in the strict sense of the word.
Zhao Hongxue was immediately frightened, hurriedly knelt at Zhou Xian's feet, and said in fear: "The lower official remembers the teachings of the master of the horse. "Well, just remember. Next, put away your previous thoughts and start a new way. ”
"Trust me, as long as your errand is done well, I will not treat you badly."
"But if you're still doing the same thing as before, then I won't have anything to say to you."
When the words landed, Zhou Xian had already taken Xu Xianchun and Yu Jinshan to leave the dark and damp prison.
In fact, how much property does Zhao Hongxue have?
Zhou Xian's heart is very clear.
After all, the thousands of Jinyi guards he reuses now are all really capable people who are one in a thousand.
When Zhao Hongxue's seven million taels of silver were paid, he had more than four million taels left.
He's still very rich.
Of course, the reason why Zhou Xian didn't clean him all was mainly to test him.
Moreover, he handed over to Zhao Hongxue to prepare for coastal defense and passes.
That in itself is a very expensive thing.
