Chapter 285 Routines
Xu Wenchang looked at Zhu Yijun helplessly, and after a while he spoke, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will write it when I go back."
Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction, then smiled and said, "If you have anything to do, I'm sorry, but I'm not bad."
After pondering for a while, Xu Wenchang said, "I don't have anything to do if you have to say anything. Then please give me some time!"
Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Wenchang, nodded, and then said with a smile: "Then give me more time, until the end of the year! There is still half a year left, which should be enough, right?"
"Your Majesty, it's enough!" Xu Wen nodded and said.
Xu Wenchang also realized that his Majesty did not expect that he would write it well, but he just wanted to write a Mandarin book on the market. He could write any man who could find a book to write, but His Majesty wanted to use his own name!
After leaving the palace, Xu Wenchang sighed while walking that he actually became a royal literati. It was really a matter of the world to make people!
Seeing Xu Wenchang leave with a look of dejected look, Zhu Yijun was so angry that he shook his sleeves and snorted coldly: "It seems like he was forced by me."
In the following days, the capital of the Ming Dynasty entered a stable period.
No major incident happened in the imperial court. The military reforms in the three sides were in full swing, and Zhang Xueyan did a good job. The western suburbs were also built in special construction, and the road construction also required people, which directly led to a shortage of labor.
Those who recruit workers go to the countryside every day to recruit people.
The exchange of silver coins has also stabilized. Basically, the royal money house has only 100,000 taels of silver coins every day, and there will be no more. This has led to the great development of the silver coins black market, which has become extremely prosperous in a short period of time.
In just three months, the He family had already dispersed more than 5 million taels of silver coins. More than 7 million taels of silver were exchanged. These silvers were not hoarded, but were taken away to mint silver coins.
It is said that the court has prepared to implement the new currency system in the entire north, and the six northern provinces will start after the New Year.
The seven southern provinces will last for one year at the latest, and then the court will replace silver coins in all respects. At the same time, the court stipulated that the people are not allowed to cast privately, and all those who mint coins will be executed.
He Shengming stood at the door of his home and greeted his father with a smile.
Unlike the last time, He Shengming's demeanor is very different now and he has become much more mature. He has been engaged in the transaction of exchange for silver in Shuntian Prefecture these days, and he has contacted everyone, which has made He Shengming grow a lot.
He Mingli walked out of the car, looked at his son, and said with a smile: "Okay!"
The father and son entered the house together. He Mingli smiled and said, "It's been three months, and it's finally done!"
He Shengming handed the tea to his father and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Father!"
"How are you in the capital?" He Mingli looked at his son and asked with a smile.
"There is no problem in the capital. With the support from the palace and the previous rumors, many people are polite to us." He Shengming sighed: "The palace is so grand!"
At the same time, He Shengming felt ashamed of himself, and he suspected that he would have committed a crime in the palace.
Now it seems that the palace really wants to use its own family, and even lets out rumors that the emperor has fallen in love with his sister. Both He Shengming and He Mingli know that this is the kindness in the palace.
It can be said that the benevolence and righteousness have been done in the palace. If you can’t do a good job, it will be difficult to talk.
So the father and son were very busy in the past three months. He Mingli finally met Li Dan's messenger and completed the first transaction with them. He Mingli directly offered a high price for more than a dozen commodity transactions.
At the same time, the second transaction was finalized with Li Dan, and this time Li Dan would transport 120 ships of cargo to He Mingli.
Among them, He Mingli will pay for half of the silver and half of the goods, including grain, skin, animal tendons, medicinal materials, etc. This transaction is worth 3.7 million taels, which is absolutely a big deal.
The He family had never done such a big deal before, but now they think it is still possible.
He Mingli will definitely not forget his attitude when facing the envoy Li Dan. He needs as much as you want, and as much as you can transport it. The price is easy to negotiate, and the market price will rise by 30%, no problem.
That feeling of waving and ruthless is really cool.
The first batch of goods is worth 300,000 taels, and I have handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The next batch of big transactions of 3.8 million taels will have to wait until the end of the year, and there is no chance now.
"Dad, what should we do next?" He Shengming looked at his father and asked hesitantly.
"The deal between us and Li Dan has been finalized. This is our last deal this year." He Mingli said with a serious face: "We have two things to do next."
"The first thing is the goods. The goods provided by the Office of the Internal Affairs has not yet been in place."
"The second is the matter of your sister entering the palace. I have sent someone to pick up your sister."
"The third thing is the opening of the Hong Kong government. At the beginning of next year, if you try to open the Hong Kong government, you can let the news go out. The reason why the He family can exchange silver coins is not because of your sister."
"It's because our He family is engaged in maritime trade and traded 3.8 million taels of goods with Li Dan. It sold 4.5 million silver coins to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and made a net profit of 700,000 silver coins."
"The payment of 3.8 million taels of goods actually only cost 2.7 million silver coins. The money earned from selling goods and the money from Shanghai trade. In this amount, our He family made a net profit of 1.8 million silver coins."
Of course, He Mingli brags about this number, because there are accounts in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Palace.
But even so, the business of these 120 ships is completed, and I dare not say that there are more. Five hundred thousand silver coins are absolutely fine, which is a huge profit, and the palace and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will make more money.
Zhu Yijun's main purpose is to exchange silver coins to earn more than 2 million taels, but Zhu Yijun has nothing to do afterwards.
The Office of the Internal Affairs is preparing to make a lot of money, such as newly launched products, including soap, soap, perfume, shampoo, toothpaste and other items. All lard will be served, which will be a pillar industry of the Office of the Internal Affairs.
The second category of products is wine, with fruit wine at the top. The residue of purified lard, that is, glycerin, can be used to dissolve the sweet and lingering in fruit wine, so that the fruit wine is not sour but becomes sweet and delicious.
Adding lard wax, this is also a new product launched by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is very cheap but very useful.
Zhu Yijun made people into thick wax. After igniting it, it burned it for a few days, and it was as thick as a cannon barrel.
Zhu Yijun is all ready for export and sale, and there are also preparations that Zhu Yijun wants to promote pig farming. Once lard has these effects, the price of pork will inevitably rise sharply.
If it is profitable, someone will raise it, and pig farming will be promoted next year.
Three batches of chicken, duckling and goose chicks have been released in the hatchery, and they are very popular because they are cheap. They don’t care if they don’t have money. If they exchange eggs, they can basically exchange one chick for three eggs.
In an instant, there was not enough chicks, and one batch was bought out when one batch was released.
By next year, we can launch chickens, ducks, geese and piglets, and one piglets will be replaced with ten chickens or eight ducks. This is how the family belongs to you, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and it will be endless.
Taking silver coins as the entry point, northern ports as the breakthrough point, and special products as the attraction point, one set of combinations of punches, Zhu Yijun believes that it will definitely fool many people.
Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Yijun stood in the hall, looked at Zhang Jing, and then said, "Hi family has released the news?"
"Go back to the emperor, you have already released it!" Zhang Jing bowed and replied quickly.
Zhu Yijun nodded, then smiled and said, "This He family is a bit interesting. Not greedy is a good moral character."
Zhang Jing knew how much the He family made, but he was still greedy. When he was greedy, he greedy for his head. He Mingli from the He family was not stupid, and knew what to take and what not to take.
"Have you sent someone to see the daughter of the He family?" Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing and asked again.
Although this beauty pageant is basically a win-win situation, Zhu Yijun still cares about the other party’s appearance. If he is really ugly, then he will marry him!
"When I go back to the emperor, I have sent people from the palace to see it, saying that they both look and etiquette are very good." Zhang Jing replied quickly.
Zhu Yijun nodded and then said, "Let's start preparing for the beauty pageant! This time, the selection will be mainly from the businessmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Shanxi and Shaanxi also need to take care of it."
Zhang Jing nodded quickly: "I understand!"
This time the beauty pageant will naturally not be too large, and the scope is basically the daughter of a newly rising merchant. Zhu Yijun is clearly exciting.
On the one hand, it stimulates these businessmen, allows them to gain a higher status, and try to unite by themselves to form new interest groups.
Secondly, to stimulate the old nobles, you have to work hard, otherwise someone will surpass you. Although the new nobles are honorary, their descendants will enter the Royal Martial Arts Hall or the future naval school.
Although I don’t know the quality, but with more quantity, there will always be a few outstanding ones.
The emperor's marriage was never a simple marriage. In fact, the Ming Dynasty's marriage was much simpler than before. If it were other dynasties, the harem was the battlefield, that is, the battlefield for the concubines and the battlefield for various families.
Li Zhi deposed Queen Wang and defeated Concubine Xiao Shu. Is it really because he liked Wu Meiniang? Stop making trouble.
Empress Wang is the Wang family in Taiyuan, and Concubine Xiao Shu is the Xiao family in Jiangnan. To put it bluntly, it is a family struggle. Defeating Empress Wang, deposing Concubine Xiao Shu, and then overthrowing Changsun Wuji are all routines.
The only thing Li Zhi didn't expect was that Wu Zetian could become the emperor. Even if Wu Zetian was in power, in Li Zhi's opinion, it would be the highest to become Empress Lu, and even Wu Zetian could not be the position of Empress Lu.
