"Two hundred thousand taels of silver?"

"Zhan Cai is really a lion's mouth!"

"I heard that although the profits of sea trade are abundant, a bad ship is destroyed and the people are killed, and all the money is lost!"

In the lobby of the Duke of England's mansion, Qian Yuan looked at more than a dozen people opposite him with a smile, headed by Duke of England and Duke of Cheng, as well as Xing'an Bo, Wu Kang Bo, Xiangcheng Bo, Xinning Bo, Yingcheng Bo and other nobles, all of whom were quite jealous of the sea trade.

British Duke Zhang Rong smiled bitterly and said, "I heard that Zhenhai set up a city to trade, and Zhancai gathered tens of thousands of silver at empty hands, but although we have high positions, we are actually short of money..."

Qian Yuan didn't say anything, and took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it over. He knew that the guys in front of him... gave them the benefits and asked them to take out their capital first, so that they could not even think about it.

Tasting the tasteless tea, Qian Yuan wandered around and pondered in his mind about the movements in the celestial dynasty after His Majesty ascended the throne.

Whether it is the six ministries or the cabinet, it has been more than ten days since the adjustment has begun. Xu Jie is still the leader in the cabinet, but it must discuss the government affairs with Li Mo and Wu Shan.

The Minister of Revenue Fang Dun, the Minister of Rites Sun Sheng, and the Minister of Works Zhao Wenhua successively wrote letters to request his resignation, but the Emperor Longqing was staying in the capital and was not issued.

There is a very interesting phenomenon. Although Emperor Longqing ascended the throne in the palace, he is still in the West Garden.

The main reason is that the three halls have not been completed yet, so they can only live in Xiyuan temporarily. This is impossible, and the court officials have no objection to this.

But there is another reason. Emperor Longqing lives in Xiyuan and often summons Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, Yin Shidan, Lin Feng, Zhu Dashou, and even Gao Gong takes the strange identity of Taichang Temple Minister and Minister of Rites... In fact, he takes the role of Zhilu, which means that he actually participates in the decision-making of the cabinet.

Gao Gong was full of energy and had a fight with Chen Yiqin for this, but in the end, Zhang Siwei went to apologize on his behalf.

Of course, all the old ministers in Prince Yu's mansion are full of energy... Except for Zhang Juzheng, he has been silent these days, with no expression on his face and no waves in his eyes.

Others don’t know or care about it, but Qian Yuan specially sent someone to inquire. Tsk, the grape trellis in the backyard of Zhang’s family fell!

It is said that if Zhang Ju hadn't stopped him, there would have been a few more blood marks on his face.

However, Qian Yuan guessed that next, Emperor Longqing would release a lot of shocking information... and would do a lot of things that surprised the court officials. He has been summoned to the Xiyuan several times these days. From the words, he inferred what Emperor Longqing would do.

What to do?

It is very simple. Emperor Longqing will accept anyone rejected by Emperor Jiajing; Emperor Longqing will dislike anyone who is favored by Emperor Jiajing.

Tsk tsk, in terms of qualifications, Emperor Jiajing has not been mentioned in the Ming Dynasty. Looking at thousands of years, except for the founding emperors of all dynasties, there are not many people who can compete with Emperor Jiajing. When he was young, he defeated powerful ministers and still firmly controlled the court without attending the court for decades.

But in the end, the emperor was an uncle who didn't love his grandmother and even his own son annoyed him... he was really alone.

The nobles on the opposite side whispered for a while, then Zhang Rong asked in confusion: "Isn't this from Quanzhou?"

Seeing Qian Yuan nodding slightly, Zhang Rong smiled and said, "No wonder, I paid the silver in advance in exchange for customs clearance documents for Ninghai and Quanzhou, but Quanzhou has ended long ago. Is this?"

"Zhangzhou." Qian Yuan whispered: "For the time being, two sea ports in one province. Although the war in Guangdong has stopped, there are still sporadic Japanese pirates invading."

In fact, this is the choice of Longqing switch in history, Haicheng County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, which is Xiamen in later generations.

"Twenty-hundred thousand taels of silver are inevitable, but the documents to go out to sea can be transferred." Qian Yuan waved his hand and said, "You should know everything."

The British Duke Zhang Rong and Cheng Guogong, opposite, nodded and agreed that the documents to go out to the sea could be transferred, which means that the money paid in advance would definitely be paid back, but the others were embarrassed. There were more than ten families here, and some mansions really couldn't pay much money.

"Twenty-hundred thousand taels of silver, do you want to swallow it in one bite?" Qian Yuan said casually: "As long as you have silver, it's fine."

It was really obvious that Xing'an Bo on the opposite side was not favored by his elders back then. He personally took care of common affairs for many years. He patted the table gently and whispered: "Are there still few merchants who have no way?"

Others also understood that after all, this was similar to that of later generations, just trading quotas.

You should pay a share of 20,000 taels of silver, and then transfer some of the documents on the sea, and you can immediately get the money back... Even the 20,000 taels of silver can be paid by merchants who want to buy documents on the sea.

There were a lot of discussions on the other side, and everyone was so excited that they could express their feelings. Qian Yuan leaned lazily on the chair. These nobles were only willing to eat meat, and even meat was not around their mouths. They were too lazy to secrete saliva.

But from another perspective, they are willing to chew bones when feeding the meat to their mouths.

It was something Qian Yuan had wanted to do long ago to pull the nobles into the maritime trade, otherwise he would not have brought the Duke of Wei into the first time back then. It was just that the nobles in the capital were too ignorant and were dragged until now.

It's okay to delay until now, and it can help me solve a small problem.

The British Duke Zhang Rong had already arranged a banquet there and was joking about Qian’s restaurant.

"It's too expensive, too expensive. Last time my mother celebrated her birthday, she went to buy a basket of golden sticks. It's festive." Xiangcheng Bo said with a bitter face: "But in the next half month, I'll be vegetarian!"

"The life will be better in the future. Qian Longquan is known as the God of Wealth in the southeast and descends to earth!"

Qian Yuan smiled and didn't interrupt. He then spoke after they finished speaking: "Trading goods in the sea must also pay attention to risks. As the British government said before, one thing is that the ship is destroyed and the people are killed."

"Of course, there are many people in the southeast who travel around the sea all year round and watch climate warnings, and similar disasters rarely happen."

"But pirates and pirates... although they dare not land, there are still fighting at sea."

The surroundings have become quiet, and Qian Yuan said calmly: "First, Zhejiang has been building military ships over the years. The General of Nangan, Yu Dayou, General of Fujian, Qi Jiguang, Commander of Taizhou, Ge Hao, and General of Wenjin, Zhang Yuanxun, all went to sea to fight and had great military achievements."

"Secondly, any ship that comes from Zhenhai and Ninghai to pass through the pass is under the banner of Five Peaks. The East Ocean is unobstructed, and few people dare to offend the South Ocean."

Duke Cheng stroked his beard and smiled, "That's why Zhan Cai tried his best to comfort Wang Zhi back then."

"Wang Wufeng and Qian are always in love." Qian Yuan laughed and said, "It was Qian who robbed him from prison back then."

When Qian Yuanbing surrounded the governor's yamen, the Zhejiang officialdom was informed. Although the court did not discuss it, it was not a secret matter.

"Speaking of this, there were also people in the court who wanted to pick peaches back then." Qian Yuan laughed constantly, "However, what Wang Wufeng values ​​most is righteousness!"

Tsk tsk, since ancient times, it is not as good as Jia. It is really too unrestrained to say that Wang Zhi is interested in loyalty...

Everyone else was confused. Only the British Duke Zhang Rong heard some smell. Before he could speak, Qian Yuan sighed and lost his smile on his face.

"But unexpectedly, Wufeng's only son was beaten to death and was seriously injured when he entered Beijing. Qian was really sorry for Jing Hai Bo and would not have the shame to go back to Zhenhai in the future!"

The hall was silent and everyone was speechless.

People have already said this, and everyone understands it... Someone has already muttered in his heart that this person in front of him is really a good reputation who will never give up on his vengeance!

He gave himself so many benefits to his nobles, and pointed out the extremely close relationship between him and Wang Zhi. Finally, he mentioned that the sea boats went to sea to be under the banner of Wufeng...

Zhu Xizhong, Duke Cheng, coughed twice, "I have been disliked by that guy for a long time..."

After a moment of silence, the British Duke sighed, "I still remember that... my descendants are unfilial!"

Qian Yuan, holding a teacup in his hand, sat peacefully, and seemed to care nothing.
