Chapter 121 Silver
As the Governor of Xuanda, Zhang Pu drank a lot that night. When he returned to his temporary headquarters, he was already a little drunk.
"Master, someone has handed over the post!"
The butler said while handing the towel in his hand to Zhang Pu.
Zhang Pu was stunned. Someone handed over a visitation letter? There were people like Datongwei. He took the towel and wiped his face. Zhang Pu looked up and asked, "Who?"
"It is the manager of the northwest of the Royal Money House. It seems that he is from Sun Jian, the capital." The housekeeper thought for a while and said.
The manager of the royal money house came from the capital. When the housekeeper said this, Zhang Pu was stunned. He couldn't help but remember what Zhang Cheng said during the day. Someone would come to visit him soon, but this came too quickly.
"Do you know what's going on with this royal money house?" Zhang Pu looked at the butler and asked with a serious face.
The housekeeper shook his head: "I don't know what the royal money house is, but I don't know what the money house is. The main business of this money house is Huitong, to put it bluntly, it is exchange for money."
Listening to the old housekeeper's explanation, Zhang Pu frowned: "Isn't this a business for merchants? How can he be named the royal family?"
The old housekeeper couldn't answer this, the key point was that he didn't know how to say it.
After calming down his emotions, Zhang Pu then said, "When will this person named Sun Jian come?"
"Tomorrow!" said the housekeeper quickly.
"Then the official is waiting for him, just to see what happened to this royal money house." Zhang Pu was angry and doing business in the name of the royal family is so polite. If this matter is true, he would rather not be the official hat than impeachment.
The next morning, Zhang Pu met Sun Jian in his headquarters.
When he saw Sun Jian, Zhang Pu was still a little stunned. He didn't expect Sun Jian to be so young. Judging from his grade, he was only in his thirties. The manager of the Northwest of Royal Bank is not low!
"Sir Sun Jian has met Lord Zhang!" After seeing Zhang Pu, Sun Jian bowed respectfully.
In fact, Zhang Pu felt even more upset when he saw Sun Jian wearing an official uniform. How could a person who works in business and personnel work be an official? Zhang Pu nodded and said arrogantly: "I wonder when Lord Sun will go to school?"
This is actually in the story, but the person who is playing is when you get the Jinshi exam in which year.
"In the sixth year of Xiaguan Wanli, the juren of Yingtian Prefecture!" Sun Jian said with a hurried smile.
Are you a juren from a juren?
Looking at Sun Jian’s fifth-rank official uniform, Zhang Pu felt a little dazzling. You were born as a Juren, and in the sixth year of Wanli, you were wearing the fifth-rank official uniform in just seven years. How could those scholars who passed the Jinshi exam be able to bear it?
However, a juren can be an official, and this is in line with the rules. In this matter, Zhang Pu knew that he could not help Sun Jian.
"Mr. Sun, I heard that your royal money house is a business of a merchant?" Zhang Pu looked at Sun Jian and said lightly: "Money house is a money house. How can a royal money house come from? Could it be that it is for the royal family to make money?"
When Sun Jian saw Zhang Pu's attitude, he immediately knew that he was probably going to miscalculate this time.
This Zhang Pu is obviously a person who cannot get into the market, but Sun Jian knew that he and Zhang Pu could not make a fuss. The smile on his face remained unchanged. After so many years of business, he had never seen anyone he had ever seen.
Not only are they scolded and beaten, these are nothing.
But Sun Jian was ruthless in his heart, sooner or later, let you know how powerful I am and look down on the royal money house. Sooner or later, let you ask me to come.
"I misunderstood that this royal money house is naturally called a royal money house. Naturally, what I do is not a businessman's business, and the humble vocational wears official uniforms." It was useless to know that it was useless to have the right attitude, so Sun Jian simply became neither humble nor arrogant.
"The royal money house mainly uses silver, such as salt cloth transported from Yangzhou and large-scale transactions by the court. All these money belong to the royal money house."
In fact, Sun Jian knew what the Royal Money House was, but knowing that it was one thing, but saying it was another. Some things can be done but not said, some things can be said but not done, and what he is doing now is something he can do but not said.
As for making money for the royal family, Sun Jian even sneered, and the royal family still needs to make money like this.
Not to mention anything else, although the Royal Money House is nominally affiliated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs paid for the early purchase of land and shops, the Royal Money House and the Ministry of Internal Affairs took the bill alone, which means they are not one.
Anyone who understands it knows that the Royal Money House will sooner or later be separated from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, Sun Jian naturally would not tell Zhang Pu about these things. Judging from Zhang Pu's attitude, it would be difficult for him to get support from Zhang Pu. Sun Jian was not worried either. He just needed to report Zhang Pu's attitude truthfully.
Zhang Pu glanced at Sun Jian. Even if Sun Jian said so, he still didn't believe it.
"I hope it's better as Lord Sun said!" Zhang Pu looked at Sun Jian and said slowly: "I am busy with government affairs these days and I am a little tired. If there is nothing else, Lord Sun will ask you to go back!"
"Then say goodbye!" Sun Jian didn't say anything, bowed and turned around and retreated.
Looking at Sun Jian's back, Zhang Pu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Fortunately, you are a treacherous person!"
After leaving the governor's garrison, the expression on Sun Jian's face suddenly became unfavorable. Judging from Zhang Pu's posture, it was probably difficult to deal with the matter in Xuanda. Although he was the manager of the northwest of the royal money house, the northwest was the most important than the border town.
All my next things and the next important things for the Ministry of Internal Affairs are in the border town, so you should be more cautious!
Yangzhou, the Interior Government Office.
Li Zhongxing smiled and put down the teacup in his hand, then said, "You are participants in this Ming shipping, a total of 16 companies. This is the result of the investigation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is very good. None of them have made fraud. I am very pleased."
"From today, even if our Ming Shipping is built, let's talk about this first business first."
When the sixteen people sitting below heard this, they immediately smiled on their faces. This is good news!
"I just received a news. I believe you have heard that Qi Shaobao won a great victory in the northwest and killed 100,000 Ola cavalry and captured Huang Taiji's son Salik alive. Huang Taiji was spared only by his own life."
"I think it means something, everyone knows it in their hearts."
"My Great Ming Dynasty is becoming stronger and stronger, and Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Needless to say, I want to say something else." Li Zhongxing said with a smile: "What I want to say is the reward from the court."
"A man's head is forty taels, and this time the Northwest Frontier Army rewarded 1.2 million taels of silver."
"This is not the reward of the border general. The reward of the soldiers alone is 1.2 million taels. Everyone knows that the northwest people are poor and lack materials, but when they have money, they always have to buy things."
"This is the first batch of business of our Ming Shipping. A business of 1.2 million taels is something that is small here?"
"Of course, the northwest has been pacified, and our trade with the grassland should begin." Li Zhongxing didn't look at the people below and said to himself: "There are many good things in Ola!"
"War horses, cattle and sheep can make a lot of money. I believe you understand if I don't say it."
The person below quickly replied: "Of course, understand, understand!"
"Among our sixteen families, there are people in charge of each section, from Yangzhou to Xuanfu. Now I will talk about your respective responsibilities." Li Zhongxing nodded with satisfaction when he saw the attitude of the people below.
"Your task is very simple, which is to prepare stocks, from cloth to grain, everything you think can be sold in the northwest, and pay for it." Li Zhongxing said with a smile.
"We are all paying for cash in cash, and I believe this is easy to handle."
"I don't care what method you use, within half a month, I will ask for one million taels of silver. After half a month, the first batch of goods will be shipped. This is a profitable transaction. I know that time is tight."
"Dear shopkeepers, I'll leave the escorts along the way to you. Are there any problems?"
Most of the sixteen families present were shipped on the canal, otherwise they would not be able to join the Ming Shipping. Originally, many people were willing to join the Ming Shipping, but they were willing to spend money to buy peace.
Yangzhou City has cut off so many heads, and if this money is not spent, I am afraid it will not be peaceful!
Now it's a big order of millions of dollars, and I feel very glad.
In fact, although these people who were shipped in the Ming Dynasty participated in the auction, they did not spend much money on the qualifications, unlike those in the salt farm and the salt shop. I thought it would be fine if I went there, but everyone would still transport salt, but who would have thought that the deal would come so soon.
Ming Shipping is actually more like a large transport team organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the form of franchise.
"By the way, I will introduce you to you. The person next to me is Yang Bin, and he will be responsible for the shipping of the Ming Dynasty in the future." Li Zhongxing smiled and introduced to a young man in his thirties around him: "He will also be responsible for the matter this time."
"The total share capital of Daming Shipping is 2.3 million taels of silver. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already allocated it to the shipping side. This time the transaction is for you to ship."
As Li Zhongxing said, everyone's eyes fell on this man named Yang Bin.
Many people recognized this person. He had been with Li Zhongxing before, but he didn't speak, and looked more like a follower. No one expected that the Ming Dynasty shipping would be the responsibility of him, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore!" After Li Zhongxing introduced Yang Bin, he stood up with a smile and walked out.
"Sir, please give me a gift!"
"Great send to you by yourselves!"
Everyone quickly stood up and greeted Li Zhongxing.
