Zhu Di pulled Li Jinglong up, the two of them are serious relatives, Zhu Di and Li Wenzhong, just like Xu Jingchang and Zhu Gaoxu, and Li Jinglong is a generation shorter than Zhu Di.

At this moment, the knot in his heart opened, as if he had returned to the young man in fresh clothes and angry horses, Zhu Di sighed in his heart.

"I have talked with the young master and the cabinet scholars in the past few days, and my father is the emperor Shenwu Yingrui and created the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. I can't lose his old man's people, and I can't let go of my martial arts. In terms of cultural governance, it is necessary to revise the records of Taizu, and it is necessary to repair a class. Back then, my father wanted to repair a book and edit the scriptures and history, but unfortunately he didn't finish it. I'm going to continue his old man's work and finish this book. ”

Li Jinglong listened carefully and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, just now Xu Tongzheng told the ministers that he still wants to protect the ministers to repair the book!" ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "He is a martial artist, and he can also repair books?" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it has been difficult for four years, and it is not accurate enough to repair the book from Your Majesty's side. If Cao Guogong can combine his arrangement, compare the two, verify each other, and the history book he repairs must be a golden rule and impeccable. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "So, then let Cao Guogong follow the book." ”

Li Jinglong's salted fish turned over and he also got a position, so he was naturally overjoyed.

There is no doubt that the current situation can be achieved with the help of Xu Jingchang, this kid is not big, and his ability is really not bad.

From now on, we must obey our orders, and the horse's head is the foresight.

Everyone drank and chatted.

Zhu Di really wants to do a lot of things, repairing books, fighting wars, everything he wants to do, and everything costs money.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the best in the world, and you are very intelligent. I've thought about it over and over again. The grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, and the grain is expensive and hurts the people. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, no matter what you do, you can't quickly accumulate wealth and make a fortune. Even if there is, it is afraid that it will be detrimental to people's livelihood. Only foreign trade, with overseas barbarians, admiring the graceful heart of the state, selling goods, and filling the treasury is the safest way. What do you think of the big guys? ”

To develop overseas trade, Xu Jingchang had already heard about this from Empress Xu.

Zhu Di's understanding is already very clear, in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what is hyped, if you want to accumulate a large amount of wealth, it will hurt some people, after all, money will not fall from the sky.

Only by asking for money from the outside is the safest.

Of course, Xu Jingchang agreed with Zhu Di's point of view, and he was about to say a few words, when Xia Yuanji suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister recently set up a tax card with Xu Tongzheng in Jubaomen, and has collected tens of thousands of taxes...... The minister wondered, can it be stipulated that only merchants who pay a considerable amount of taxes can participate in overseas trade? After all, they pay taxes according to the rules, which naturally proves that they are trustworthy and loyal, and it is also right to make a fortune with the imperial court. ”

Xia Yuanji, this guy is really a crystal fox, extremely cunning.

He knows too well how much people hate taxation, and in order for himself to enjoy his old age in peace and not be torn apart, he must release his benefits...... Anyone who pays enough taxes will have the opportunity to participate in overseas trade and earn huge profits.

Now collecting taxes is not as simple as cutting meat, but has become a stepping stone, a golden key to the road to wealth.

Xu Jingchang blinked his eyes, he still underestimated Xia Yuanji in the past, this guy's brain is definitely not simple.

Zhu Di was immediately overjoyed, "What Xia Shangshu said is doing it, you go to arrange, go to sea for trade, how many commercial goods do you want to purchase, and from whom and where, the household department will come up with a charter." I was ready for Zheng He to lead the fleet. When their family was in the Yuan Dynasty, they went to the sea several times to make pilgrimages to Dashi and other places, and they were familiar with the sea routes and knew the people's feelings. Led by him, nothing goes wrong. ”

Xia Yuanji nodded hurriedly, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Between talking and laughing, the eyebrows of the West came out.

Xu Jingchang's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is thinking that if you want to go to sea in a big way, you must build a large fleet and recruit crews, and after a year or two, it will be very fast to be able to go to sea." The minister suggested that it was possible to send a small fleet in advance to Korea, Ryukyu, Wakoku, Annam and other places, which could be regarded as saying hello to them, making preliminary deals, and understanding what was profitable, and what we had prepared here, in order to make money, work hard, and not chill. ”

Zhu Di laughed, "Okay, you kid is careful, so do it." ”

After another pause, Zhu Di simply said: "In this way, the affairs of the merchant will be handed over to the household department, and Xia Shangshu will undertake it." In the early stage of trade, let Xu Jingchang be responsible, you are the nobles of the dynasty, if you want to make progress in business, talk to him, this kid has a lot of ghost ideas in his stomach, and he can't lose money. ”

This fluttering sentence made Xu Jingchang one of the two important ministers of the Western industry under the General Office.

The authority in the hands soared rapidly.

Sure enough, there are a lot of benefits to being a sycophant, and this will be fulfilled!

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Jingchang's side became lively, Zhu Gaoxu came early, and then Zhu Neng, Duke of Chengguo, and Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, all came to him, and the old monk Yao Guangxiao also came.

"Young Master, you are all outsiders, and you don't talk about money, so don't get involved in our mundane affairs."

Yao Guangxiao said: "Monks don't love money, the more the better." ”

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, "I said young master, you better hurry up, I'm afraid it will break your golden body, in case you can't go to Elysium in the future, don't blame me." ”

Yao Guangxiao's face sank, and he sneered: "No business, no treachery, this old man is still clear." I don't believe what tricks you can play! ”

While he was talking, Wu Shan came in from outside, followed by two roe head rat guys.

"My lord, I found these two goods, please ask."

Xu Jingchang looked at them and said with a smile: "How is it, is the craftsmanship okay?" ”

The one with a sallow face at the head hurriedly bowed down and said: "The villain has been passed down for five generations, all of them are repairing gold, stone and bronze utensils, repairing the old as the old, and no one can tell the difference." ”

Xu Jingchang nodded again and again, "Since you can repair, can you also imitate it?" ”

"Yes!" The leader nodded, "It's true, some people like to be vassal, and they don't have so much money, so they buy some imitation things and put them at home, just for the layman." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled again: "You can imitate, then it's okay to make old or something, right?" ”

"Okay, there are too many old methods, such as calligraphy and painting, in the rice jar where insects are released, insects and rats bite, and in less than half a month, you can pretend to be ancient paintings. If it is jade, it should be steamed in a pot, then wiped with rust and buried in the ground. If it's bronze...... It is necessary to bury it in a thatched house, let it be soaked in feces, and it can also make a rusty appearance. ”

Xu Jingchang nodded again and again, "Very good, by the way, do you still burn porcelain?" It is the official kiln of the Yuan Dynasty, blue and white porcelain, can it be burned? ”

The two of them shook their heads, "If you go back to the adults, the small ones won't be burned, but we know that there are powerful craftsmen in Jingdezhen who can burn them, not only from the Yuan Dynasty, but also from the Tang and Song dynasties." ”

Xu Jingchang was overjoyed: "Great, such professionals can't be let go, they all came to me!" ”

He looked back at the few people present, "I have already asked people to inquire, in North Korea, it regards itself as Little China, and has always admired the customs of the country. Now that the world is peaceful, it is the time for the prosperity of antiques, don't let them spend a lot of effort to buy a bunch of fakes back, we have to act decisively, solve their worries, and deliver things to people's doors. I am a good-hearted man, so I will not see them being deceived by others. ”

Door-to-door delivery, heartwarming.

Only then did a few people understand that Xu Jingchang was planning to make this fortune.

Yao Guangxiao's eyes widened angrily, "Xu Jingchang, you will really go to hell like this." ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Young Master Gao Gu, so don't mix with your old man." ”

"No way!" Yao Guangxiao said categorically: "Amitabha, also to hell, rich and poor people are still very different. ”

This time it's the big guy's turn to be speechless, and the old thief is not a good person.

Now, don't say anything, Xu Jingchang crossed his waist and ordered: "The corner of the wall will be used to bury bronzes, from the king of Han down, you can come over to drink tea and hold your urine if you have nothing to do, whoever urinates more, when the time comes, you will take an extra share." ”
