If you want to say who is the hottest figure in Chang'an City now, it is naturally not Zheng Zhiyu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Originally, the Ministry of Revenue was second only to the Ministry of Personnel in the court, but after the new emperor came to power, the new emperor who was born in the army had an unprecedented strengthening of the control of personnel, which greatly weakened the power of the Ministry of Personnel. However, the Ministry of Revenue rose due to the strong encouragement of business. Just a trade license made Zheng Zhiyu a person who must be worshipped in the entire Daqi business circle.

The Ministry of Revenue is a highly technical department. People who are not proficient in this technology are basically blind in such departments. No matter how powerful Cao Yun is, he cannot understand everything. At least he doesn’t understand the Ministry of Revenue. If he doesn’t understand, he can only rely on those who understand. Zheng Zhiyu is exactly such a person.

Just like when the Ming Dynasty was founded, he still could not find talents to manage the Ministry of Revenue, and had to use Su Kairong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who had to use the former Yue Yue, the old man did a good job. Although he won the nickname of the iron cock in the Ming Dynasty, he was proud of it. Later, after Qin Feng found Geng Jingming, he was very aware of the current affairs and retired bravely and leisurely went to Changlong Bank to work as an advisor. The annual consultant fee was several times his previous salary. And his son Su Can, to this day, is still the highest leader of the Ming Dynasty Taiping Bank. A money theory has been listed as a banned book by the Ming Dynasty and has only been circulated at the top. The money theory created the most basic financial theory of the Ming Dynasty and laid a solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty to implement the financial war against the Chu State.

This is the origin of family learning.

Zheng Zhiyu was quite happy today. During the court discussion, he made a big splash and successfully blocked the emperor's thoughts. Some of the Ming Dynasty's policies were naturally good, but some of them could never be learned. For example, they left business and established a separate department. How could Qi learn from them? If this is true, what is left of the Ministry of Revenue?

The major events of the court were nothing more than a unity. For example, today, he successfully won over several major departments such as the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, and so on. With so many important officials opposing it, the emperor had to think twice.

Feng Ke from the Ministry of War would like the Ministry of Justice to divide a piece of fat from his mouth? Local security soldiers are also soldiers, and they are also organized, military pay, and fees!

The Ministry of Industry is willing to separate those major projects from itself? Once they are separated, where will they get the oil and water?

The Censorate is still thinking about annexing the ghost shadow. How can it make itself a bare-mouthed gun? Without the power to examine officials and without the imperial prison, who will be afraid of them?

Today, everyone was quite tacit in the court discussion, and they kept the emperor's words in their mouths and didn't say them. Tian Fen, the emperor's spokesperson, had always looked extremely ugly. Cao Hui sat in the corner like a dog hiding in the darkness, but these two people had stains. Can the emperor trust them completely?

Of course not.

In Zheng Zhiyu's opinion, sooner or later, people like Cao Hui will not have a good ending. The reason why they have not taken action now is just to hinder the face of Prince Cao Chong.

Stepping into the house, while changing clothes, I was casually flipping through a stack of prayers presented by the butler.

"Why are they the other ones? I have said a long time ago that tung oil, raw lacquer and other things cannot be sold to Ming Dynasty. This is controlled materials." Zheng Zhiyu said impatiently: "I came to the door again and again. What do they want to do?"

"Master, this is their gift list!" The housekeeper presented some other orders with a smile.

Zheng Zhiyu glanced at it, his eyes shone. Although his tone slowed down, he still shook his head: "These things are not easy to deal with. Ming people have a lot of demand for these things. Do you know where most of them are used? Most of them are used in military affairs, especially the navy. Do you dare to sell these things in large quantities and don't want your head?"

"Master, the prices of these things in Ming Dynasty are extremely high, more than three times that of our country. Even if all kinds of expenses are paid and shipped to the land, they will still have more than twice as much profit. They are willing to share 20% of their shares with the master." said Su Shu.

After changing his clothes, Zheng Zhiyu sat down, "20% of his tits are very attractive, but this is really hard to deal with!"

"Master, aren't the courts' money different now? Just set the tax higher and limit the quota." The housekeeper said with a smile: "This way, we have explained to the superiors and subordinates."

"Limited quota?" Zheng Zhiyu glanced at the butler, "You can't think of this. Is it the merchants who taught you? Hehe, quota? As long as you open this gap, is there any relationship between more and less quota? Some of these people can sell goods that are several times more than the quota. You old dog, honestly tell me how much benefits they have given you to let you say these words in front of me?"

"I dare not hide it from the master. They gave me a thousand taels of silver." The housekeeper said with a smile.

"One thousand taels of silver is really a big deal, but it's worth it." Zheng Zhiyu laughed: "Tell them, I will consider this matter, let them live in Chang'an first and wait for a while."

"Yes, Master!" The housekeeper was overjoyed. The master said this, so he naturally agreed.

"Who else wants to see me today?" Zheng Zhiyu asked.

"Master, Lord Qian Qian from the Money Cricketing Office had previously handed over the post, saying that he would come to report some matters about monetization to the teacher later." The housekeeper said.

"Well, I'll take a nap first. When Qian Qian comes, let him wait for me in the side hall." Zheng Zhiyu nodded. Qian Qian was his subordinate, and the Money Cashing Office was one of the most important departments under the Ministry of Revenue and the big yamen for the imperial court to make money. Although he was his subordinate, he could not neglect it.

The housekeeper left the room, and Zheng Zhiyu leaned on the soft couch and narrowed his eyes. It was such a good era now. Unfortunately, although he had made countless money, he could not take them out to buy land and property. He could only turn them into boxes of gold bars and gold bricks, and store them in the cellar at home. The emperor now showed no mercy to those who dared to purchase a large amount of land.

Distributing the land to those landless people and increasing the country's self-cultivated farmers is the emperor's bottom line. Whoever dares to touch this bottom line is seeking death. But Zheng Zhiyu does not think that such a life will last for a long time. Perhaps, after the Ming Dynasty was destroyed and without this great enemy, this ban will be slowly eliminated. At that time, it is a good time to buy more property and pass it on to future generations. Now, let those belongings sleep in the cellar.

Thinking of those shining things, Zheng Zhiyu was satisfied. He went from being a member of the Ministry of Revenue by the Emperor to being the Minister of Revenue. In just one year, he had accumulated wealth that he never dared to think about before. Being an official and being a high-ranking official is indeed the only way to make a fortune. Although the merchants in Chang'an are now ashamed and arrogant as they are walking on the road, they are all obedient like puppies in front of themselves.

A real man should not have power for a day. Just by making a fuss, these guys can get rich overnight and become poor overnight. This feeling of controlling the fate of others makes Zheng Zhiyu particularly addicted.

Half an hour later, Zheng Zhiyu appeared in front of Qian Qian, the coin minting company, in high spirits.

"I've met an adult." Qian Qian stepped forward to greet him.

"If you look up every day, you don't need so much etiquette. Let's talk about it. If there is anything you can't talk about in the yamen, you insist on coming to my house. Isn't something happening in the mine? " Zheng Zhiyu looked at Qian Qian and asked. The most troublesome thing in the Coin Cash Division is the workers in the copper mine causing trouble. Every year, there are a few incidents. Every year, people will be rolling and blood will flow into a river. Not only those miners, but also soldiers and officials in the mine.

Zheng Zhiyu is not afraid of bleeding, but after all, too much trouble will make the emperor question his management ability.

"No, no." Qian Qian smiled and said, "Now they have paid these poor people two or three times the wages they used to, and they are working hard."

"What's that?" Zheng Zhiyu asked strangely.

"Sir, I have a relative who works in business. I have been walking around Changning for the past year." Qian Qian said.

"Oh, that's probably because he's getting rich, right?" Zheng Zhiyu smiled and said, "With your care, it shouldn't be bad."

"I don't dare to use public services for private purposes. He doesn't have much capital. He just makes a small fuss and can barely make a living." Qian Qian said with a smile. "But in the past six months, he has indeed made a fortune."

"How can a businessman in Qi State not make money wherever he can do business now?" Zheng Zhiyu glanced at this subordinate with some dissatisfaction. His relatives made money because of him, but Qian Qian had never respected him. The gifts that were usually given during the New Year were just a response.

"Sir, my subordinates used to think that he was just buying some goods and making some price difference. But I knew that when he came back to find me a few days ago, I realized that it was not the case at all. Do you know, what he was doing in Changning?" Qian Qian said mysteriously.

"What else can you do if you don't sell goods?" Zheng Zhiyu asked strangely.

"He is pouring money!" Qian Qian said.

"Dump money? How can I lose money?"

"Because my Daqi does not allow the Ming Dynasty's money to be used in our country, and the Ming Dynasty does not allow my Daqi's money to be made even gold and silver to be used as a communal item. So if the two companies want to trade, they have to go to the other party's bank or our money shop to exchange for the other party's money. We didn't even know that there was a price difference here."

"Um?"
