Chapter 4 West Factory and Yongwei Battalion
That night, Wei Zhongxian, who had fallen asleep, was woken up by the waiting servants.
"Old Grandpa~Old Grandpa~"
"What's the matter!?" Although he knew that people wouldn't call him if it wasn't important, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
"Grandpa, the commander of the Jinyi Guard asked Tian Ergeng to see him outside, saying that there is something important to report, and it must be tonight." The subordinate trembled with fright, and said as he lay on the ground.
"Let him wait for me in the side hall."
Wei Zhongxian was silent for a while and said slowly.
A quarter of an hour later, he saw Tian Ergeng, who had arrived late at night.
Wei Zhongxian waved his hand to stop Tian Ergeng's salute.
"What?"
"The factory man atoned for his sins and disturbed the factory father's rest. What I said tonight, I prepared 50,000 taels of silver, and I am willing to share the worries of the factory. Tian Ergeng stood beside Wei Zhongxian and bent over and said flatteringly.
"Have you a heart, has the interest been deducted?" Wei Zhongxian took a sip of tea and said lightly.
"No, for the sake of the factory, how dare you ask for interest."
Wei Zhongxian stopped drinking tea and rolled his eyes at Tian Ergeng, who was smiling all over his face.
Although I knew that there was a lot of moisture in his words, it was still extremely useful.
"Can you still have that share? Go to Wang Er and get the interest, and open a note by the way. ”
"Alas~ that humble resignation!"
After saying that, he bowed and retreated.
Wei Zhongxian looked at the several large boxes piled up behind the door, and a smile appeared on his face.
I got up and was about to go back to the house to go back to sleep, when someone came in to report again.
"Grandfather, Sun Yunhe, the criminal officer of the Dongchang outside the door, asked to see him, saying that he had something important to report."
Wei Zhongxian, who had just stood up, had no choice but to sit down again.
"Let him in."
After a while, Sun Yunhe came in, followed by a group of people carrying boxes, and as soon as they entered the door, they lay on the ground and saluted.
"Godfather, damn it, it's disturbed the godfather's dream."
"Get up."
Wei Zhongxian understood Sun Yunhe's purpose when he saw the box, so he didn't get angry at all.
"Whoever came to deliver the silver?"
"Yes, godfather, the little one has 30,000 taels of silver. Just be filial piety to your godfather. ”
"Filial piety is exempt, and interest is indispensable to you. Let's go back, our family is going to rest. ”
"The little one quits."
As soon as Sun Yunhe walked through the gate, he ran into Li Kuilong, a member of the Wenxuan Lang who was waiting outside the door.
"Yo~ Isn't this Li Yushi? So late? What are you doing in Daddy's house? ”
"Humph! Ask while knowing the answer. ”
"Haha......"
Sun Yunhe smiled and walked away.
They are not only cooperative relations with the same party, but also rivalry. It's not easy to win the hearts of a 9,000-year-old, and every day I don't know how many people rack their brains to climb the 9,000-year-old tree.
Originally, many people thought that the new emperor would liquidate the eunuch party, but they didn't expect that there was no movement, and recently there was news that the long-lived lord trusted the nine thousand years old very much. disappointed those who wanted to bring down Wei Zhongxian, and also made the eunuchs who were a little nervous put their hearts back in their stomachs.
This night, Wei Zhongxian basically didn't care about sleeping.
The people who came to see him didn't stop all night, and they all had the same purpose.
Send money.
These people didn't dare to come openly during the day, so they all rushed to the night and sneaked over.
Early in the morning, Wei Zhongxian entered the palace after eating breakfast under the service of several maids and met Zhu Youzhen.
"Is the factory manager too hardworking? Why is the complexion so bad? ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at Wei Zhongxian and asked curiously.
"Long live, yesterday I was busy raising funds for the mirror workshop, and I rested a little late."
"Oh? How many taels of silver did you raise? ”
"Long live, as of the time when the old slave came, it was a total of 780,000 taels, and there were 756,600 taels left after deducting the first month's interest."
"Hmm... What? Seven hundred and eighty thousand taels? Silver? ”
Zhu Youzhen stood up from his chair and looked at Wei Zhongxian in surprise.
"Is this true?"
"How dare the old slave deceive Long live."
"It's all silver?"
"Part of it is a silver ticket."
"It's all cash. Keep raising. ”
"Yes, the old slave is retired."
After speaking, Wei Zhongxian retreated.
Zhu Youzhen was a little emotional, he underestimated Wei Zhongxian's appeal, and also underestimated the power of the Ponzi scheme, the ancestor of ten thousand deceptions.
Overnight, more than 700,000 taels of silver!
Is Daming short of silver?
Lack!
But what lacks silver is the people at the bottom, the court. There is no shortage of princes and nobles who are full of fat brains, there is no shortage of ministers who sell official titles, there is no shortage of salt merchants who sell illegal salt, and there is no shortage of gentry who encroach on the fields.
At this time, rich people like to hoard things. Produce more grain, eat less, and hoard it. The silver is earned more, and the money is spent, and it is hoarded.
In particular, the princes and nobles hoarded a large amount of silver like a pervert.
As for the future.
Thank you to all the old iron gang for hoarding money!
After Wei Zhongxian left, he summoned Lu Jiude, a eunuch who had also been loyal to him in history.
"I'm going to reopen the West Factory, have you taken on the position of Admiral?"
"Huh?"
Lu Jiude was stunned at first, but he didn't expect such a good thing to fall on his head. Then he knelt on the ground in surprise and said happily:
"Slave and maid command!"
"Don't be too happy too early, now there are Wei Zhongxian's cronies inside and outside the court, you must be hindered everywhere, you can use more people who have been persecuted by the Wei Party. I want you to secretly check the property of the Korean Chinese martial arts family and strictly prevent the transfer of assets.
"Slaves and maids must fight to the death."
As soon as Lu Jiude went out on the front foot, there was a report from the inner servant, and Cao Huachun outside the palace asked to see him.
Zhu Youzhen heard it and said in surprise:
"Let him in!"
As soon as Cao Huachun entered the house, he lay on the ground and shouted sincerely:
"Your Majesty, the slave still thinks that he will never see His Majesty again in this life!" As he spoke, he began to cry.
Cao Huachun almost grew up watching Zhu Youzhen, since he was expelled from the capital by Wei Zhongxian during the Apocalypse, he hadn't seen Zhu Youzhen for seven years, and when he saw his former master summoning him, the long-term grievances and the joy of raising his eyebrows stirred in his heart, and he cried out.
Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly ordered someone to help him up.
"Cao Banban, I also miss you very much. Now that you have just come back, there is a heavy burden handed to you, do you dare to carry it? ”
"Slaves and maids will never give up!"
"Good! That's what I want! I will promote you to the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Seal. ”
Cao Huachun didn't expect that he would be so used as soon as he returned to Beijing, and he couldn't say anything excited, so he couldn't stop kowtowing on the ground.
Zhu Youzhen stopped him and spoke again:
"I order you to put in order to rectify the four guards of Tengxiang, and train a group of excellent soldiers who can fight well for me, and double the monthly salary, and all expenses will be drawn from the internal funds. The new army is called the Brave Guard Battalion. I only have one request, and I want absolute elite! Absolute loyalty! Can it be done? ”
"The slave will definitely live up to the high hopes of Banzai!"
During this time, Zhu Youjian was wandering around to recycle things, and there were too many treasures in the palace! More than 200 years of accumulation are stored here.
Some calligraphy and paintings that were thought to be of high value have been identified as forged by the system and are not of high value.
On the contrary, necklaces made of natural materials, rings and the like are worth a lot of money. Among them, there is a pair of ice snowflake cotton jade bracelets, and the recycling price has reached more than 8 million!
Even if you pick something that is not very eye-catching, you have accumulated more than 90 million in your wallet during this time. Now that he has money, he urgently needs an elite army that is completely loyal to him, otherwise he will always feel unreliable.
Wei Zhongxian has a money-making project in his hands, and the news has spread in the capital.
At first, it was just the injection of eunuch funds, but then I don't know where the news was revealed, and some relatives also came to him with money.
Wait until they have determined the authenticity of the message.
The whole capital was in a uproar.
Wei Zhongxian's project is being discussed everywhere! There are people everywhere looking for connections to give the money in their hands to Wei Zhongxian.
Even some people who had enmity with Wei Zhongxian in the past also frantically injected capital in the name of others.
There is hatred and hatred, and it is a fool to have money and not make money.
In this way, Wei Zhongxian was annoyed by people from all walks of life, and he didn't sleep well at night.
But when I think of Banzai's trust in myself, I am full of fighting spirit!
