Ji Gang was able to notice, and Zhu Di also noticed that there seemed to be a lot of different things in the corner of today's newspaper that made him feel a little funny.

He turned his head to look at the eunuch on the side and said, "This newspaper was just delivered today?" ”

The eunuch naturally didn't dare to deceive Zhu Di, and hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, it is the slave maid who went to pick it up in person today, and there are days on this newspaper!" ”

Zhu Di nodded, the day of the newspaper is right, that means that there should be nothing wrong with the things published in this newspaper, then this Baoyuan Coal Mill is probably a new business made by Wang Siqi.

Speaking of Wang Siqi's business experience.

Even Zhu Di had to have red eyes, in this short period of time, the outside world may only be able to guess, but Zhu Di, who has Jinyiwei as an eyeliner, probably knows a little bit about how much money Wang Siqi has earned, but as his understanding continues to deepen.

Zhu Di slowly began to notice that something was wrong.

That's... This kid is so good at making money!

Baoyuan Distillery, Zanghua Pavilion, medical alcohol and healing powder, which one of them alone is comparable to the existence of silver mines, but now so many industries belong to Wang Siqi.

Why does even Zhu Di feel that all this belongs to Wang Siqi?

The answer is simple... When he first purchased the property, these things were all purchased by Wang Siqi by selling the property, and Zhu Di was used to being cheeky... But if you say that you want to take it by force, you will be a little embarrassed.

"So much industry, so much silver... If it's all from the imperial court, I'm afraid that in a few days, I will be able to earn back all the money from the remnants of the Northern Expedition."

"Why doesn't this kid feel sorry for me as the emperor at all."

If this is heard by outsiders, I am afraid that Zhu Di's words will be thundered a lot, although the Ming Dynasty is now fighting for many years, but there is Zhu Gaochi, the prince, so the overall situation is still maintained to recuperate, and the people are not too taxed.

It's just that Zhu Di's words were said for himself.

Even if there is a close eunuch next to him.

However, who can go to the step of serving the emperor, who is not loyal, let alone a Ming monarch like Zhu Di, who can't rub a grain of sand in his eyes.

"Call Ji Gang to come."

"Yes.."

....

It didn't take long for Ji Gang, who was still wandering the streets of the capital, to enter the palace like a fly.

"Ji Gang, have you read today's newspaper?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the minister will see it."

Zhu Di nodded.

"Have you seen any clues?"

"This Wang Siqi is smart... Knowing that the small things that the people like to see are used to dilute the big things that he connived at his subordinates to beat people before, back and forth, it is difficult to hear that there are people in the capital today who are still talking about the previous things, most of them are talking about the things that have just been published in the newspapers today. ”

"It's just clever... I'm not asking about this, it's about something else. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ji Gang was suddenly a little stunned on the spot, as if he was constantly recalling in his mind what extraordinary things he saw in the newspaper today.

I thought about it for a long time..

It's only that thing...

originally thought that Zhu Di would not see Ji Gang, but now he had to say bluntly: "What the emperor said, but what Wang Siqi just got out of the Baoyuan Coal Mill?" ”

"Yes! I am a little curious, the price of coal in the capital has always been not low, and it is also because there are no decent large coal mines near the capital. If it's shipped from somewhere else, the cost of the road alone is not a small amount. ”

"And the price has been stabilizing.. He Wang Siqi, has no support in his hands? Dare to directly intervene in such a business? Aren't you afraid of losing him? ”

When Ji Gang heard this, he immediately understood what Zhu Di was thinking, that is, he wanted to know why Wang Siqi suddenly intervened in a business that he had never heard of before.

The coal business is not mainstream.

But Ji Gang also knows that every year in winter, there will still be many poor people who will choose this kind of heating materials with low prices to find a way to survive the winter.

It's just that the charcoal brazier in the rich man's house is for heating.

The charcoal brazier in the poor man's house is sometimes fatal.

"Back to the emperor's words... The minister knows a little bit about this.."

As soon as Ji Gang's words fell, Zhu Di's expression suddenly became complicated, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he knew such a thing in advance but did not tell himself about the emperor at the first time, which made Zhu Di's expression a little dissatisfied, but he still continued to ask: "Tell me, what do you know?" ”

"Your Majesty, Wang Siqi used to spend a lot of money in Jurong to buy several mountains in one go, not only that, but also spent a lot of money in the local area to gather miners who know how to open mines, even now, just in Jurong there are hundreds of people working on that mountain every day."

"It's just... Although many people already know that it is a bright mine, after all, it is not that they have not seen something dug up yet... Therefore, the minister did not report to the emperor, and now it seems that what is contained in the mine of Jurong is coal. ”

Hearing Ji Gang's explanation, Zhu Di also knew that it was understandable even if he didn't tell himself.

After all, there is no mine that has been dug up, so what difference can it be from an ordinary mountain.

"Send some people to Jurong to see, I want to know how much coal is in that mine, how can this kid make a fortune anywhere, if it is really a mine... I'm afraid the money he spent before is nothing. ”

"The minister will go, but the emperor... If there really is coal? ”

Zhu Di continued coldly: "What? I still have to congratulate Wang Siqi? Congratulations on making another fortune? ”

"Minister. Can't! ”

"Go ahead and do it!"

After Ji Gang left, Zhu Di fell into deep thought, now the Ming season is autumn in a blink of an eye, although the winter in the south is not cold, but if there is no heavy clothes to keep out the cold, or there is no firewood and charcoal that can burn the fire.

The life of the people is still very bitter.

"I hope this kid can do a good thing this time, otherwise I will never let this son go again!"

....

Inside the East Palace.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Gaochu who came to fight the autumn breeze with a sad face, spread his hands, and said melancholy: "Second brother, don't say that you are looking for me to ask me for silver now, I don't have it, even if it is pushed back for ten years, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the silver out of my pocket." ”

"Big brother! The Northern Expedition is imminent, maybe one day the troops will be mobilized, at this time you say there is no money? ”

"No money!"

"I'm going to sue my father!"

"Who do you go to to sue... The treasury is empty, and I can't turn it into money for you!" ”
