Chapter six hundred and thirty-eight million subsidy Zhu Duoduo
Getting money from Zhu Yuanzhang is no less than stealing gold bricks from the Lingxiao Palace, getting elixir from the Bagua Furnace, asking for ginseng fruit from Zhen Yuanzi, and borrowing water purification bottles from Guanyin... You have no ability to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace, so you can definitely do it.
It won't work.
Of course, Zhang Ximeng does not think that he is Sun Monkey, he belongs to the level of Tathagata Buddha. Zhu Yuanzhang is the monkey who is being manipulated.
"Madam, you have managed money for the Queen. Do you know how much private money His Majesty has?"
With a smile on her face, Jiang Nan asked: "Master, how much private money do you have?"
"Me? I have never had any private money! How can a good man have any private money? No, I swear to God, absolutely no!" Zhang Ximeng said sternly.
Jiang Nan smiled even brighter, "Yes, indeed not. I believe that Your Majesty is also a good person and will not have any private money."
Zhang Ximeng's face was very dark and he asked his wife to go around him.
But what she said is right. Madam doesn't know about her private money, but most of Lao Zhu's private money is hidden even from Queen Ma, so it's really hard to guess.
But no matter what, Zhang Ximeng felt that Lao Zhu could not let him lose this little money.
"I asked Madam, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend to me to help manage this money?"
Jiang Nan was startled and said casually: "My husband is talking about your majesty's investment? Are you sure you want to take care of it?"
Zhang Ximeng was at a loss for words, "Madam, you also know that Your Majesty can only make money, not lose money. And I encouraged him to do this. If something goes wrong, I will definitely not be able to get away with it."
Jiang Nan nodded, "So my husband wants to find a suitable person to handle this matter? But have you ever thought about what you would do if something happened to the person you recommended, or he was involved in corruption? You are still free.
It doesn’t matter!”
Zhang Ximeng was speechless. He found that it was quite difficult for him. He had to push Lao Zhu to engage in industry and commerce, but he was also worried about risks that would involve him.
"It's not that I'm afraid of my wealth or my life, I'm just worried that if I lose my transcendent status and get too involved, I'll be unable to correct my mistakes if something goes wrong in the future."
Zhang Ximeng pressed his temples, his head hurt a little. He even vaguely realized that the reason why Lao Zhu was so resistant may not be to leave room for the future.
He jumped in headfirst, while Zhu Yuanzhang was waving flags and shouting from behind, and he also rushed in. Then some kind of fraud occurred, and they were both involved, so no one could clean up the mess. To be fair.
Developing industry and commerce is good, but you always need insurance to avoid the tragedy of turning rice into mulberry.
Even thinking about it, it is not enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to stay out of the matter, even he should not be involved.
The two couples were chatting when suddenly Zhang Shuning came in from outside. The little guy was very anxious and said that his second brother was crying hard. Jiang Nan hurriedly got up and went to look after his son.
Zhang Ximeng didn't move. He's a kid. He can cry whenever he wants. He even deliberately made Zhang Shuning cry before... This kid shouldn't know, right?
Zhang Ximeng blinked his eyes, feeling a little guilty. At this moment, the capital envoy inquired about Lan Yu coming again.
No need to ask, someone as well-informed as him must have known that His Majesty and his wife, together with a bunch of children, went to Zhang's house to have barbecue. There must be something big happening behind this, and it couldn't be as simple as a get-together between two families.
Without waiting for Lan Yu to inquire, Zhang Ximeng asked directly: "Lanyu, let me ask you something."
Lan Yu was stunned. Zhang Xiang actually asked himself? Zhang Xiang recognized his ability!
Oh my God, ask me, no matter what, I know everything! By the way, even if I don’t know, I will still make it up! Wasn’t the Iron Pot Emperor and his son deceived miserably by me?
I am professional in this matter!
"Do you know anyone in the capital who is better at doing business?"
"Good at doing business? There are many of them. The top ten richest people in the capital and the top 100 Confucian businessmen have already been mentioned in the newspapers... If Prime Minister Zhang is interested, I will recite their resumes for you..."
With that said, Lan Yu really wanted to memorize it, but it was hard for him to remember it. Zhang Ximeng stopped him.
"I want to find someone who can take care of the royal family's property. First of all, this person must have enough skills and be able to deal with people. Secondly, his character must be decent. At least for the moment, he must not be corrupt, bend the law, or enrich himself.
, ruined my big thing."
Lan Yu frowned and carefully understood what Zhang Ximeng meant.
First of all, this must not be an ordinary businessman. Otherwise, no matter how capable he is, he will not be able to deal with so many bad things between the government and the public. He still has to know how to advance and retreat. Even if Zhang Ximeng wants to listen, Zhang Ximeng will not care about anything that happens in the future...
"Sir, I have a friend. His name is Gu Xuewen. He is now selling newspapers in Beijing. He often laments that he feels depressed and frustrated."
Zhang Ximeng said: "There are many people who are depressed and frustrated. The key is to be capable!"
Lan Yu suddenly raised her head, "His uncle's name is Shen Rong!"
"Shen Rong?"
"Yes, Shen Rong's father is Shen Wansan!"
Oops!
Now Zhang Ximeng became interested, although Shen Wansan's legend must be false.
Zhang Ximeng planned the construction of the Yingtian City Wall and the Imperial Palace. From the beginning to the end, he mobilized the power of the government. Although he also purchased materials from the private sector, he could never leave the city wall to a businessman to build it.
This is an important place in the capital, at the feet of the emperor. What if Shen Wansan has evil intentions and interferes with the city defense?
So the story about Shen Wansan building the city wall, making Zhu Yuanzhang jealous, and finally sending him to Yunnan to die tragically, was simply made up.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang going to Shen Wansan's house for dinner and serving a dish of pig's trotters. When Lao Zhu asked what dish, Shen Wansan did not dare to say pig's trotters, but said Wansan's hooves. That is even more nonsense.
After all, Shen Wansan in history was born in the Yuan Dynasty and died in the Yuan Dynasty. He had no intersection with Zhu Yuanzhang at all... Even if Lao Zhu doesn't work every day, he is like those models of benevolent monarchs who go to Jiangnan at every turn and leave behind wild children from time to time.
Same, I also went to Suzhou to play.
Then he wouldn't be able to see Shen Wansan, let alone eat any hellish feast.
But one thing is certain, Shen Wansan is indeed responsible, and their family fortune is indeed quite large.
"Lanyu, do you know what Shen Wansan's family did to start their business?"
"I know, smuggling!" Lan Yu said with a smile: "This Shen Wansan accumulated a huge fortune by smuggling silk and tea. All the tax collectors in the Yuan Dynasty were bribed by his family, and they fed him from top to bottom.
It's a pity that after the Yuan Dynasty came to an end, Zhang Shicheng entered Suzhou, and the Shen family also lost a lot of property. Later, Shen Rong and Shen Sen, father and son, even escaped and took refuge outside. His Majesty took Suzhou and they returned.
Back home, the current Shen family is far less powerful than it was back then."
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Gu Xuewen told you this?"
"I also got it myself." Lan Yu said with a smile: "Xiang Zhang, when I get information, I always verify it from multiple sources and compare it with each other. I never trust anyone easily."
Zhang Ximeng thought about it for a while, came up with an idea, and then warned: "Lanyu, from now on, you should not have any contact with Gu Xuewen. You also pretend that you don't know about the Shen family's affairs. Can you do that?"
Lan Yu was so frightened that his color changed. He didn't understand why this matter was so dangerous, but he still said quickly: "Xiang Zhang's instructions will be engraved in my heart and I will never forget them."
"Well, then you can teach honestly!"
Lan Yu hurriedly ran away with his tail between his legs. He didn't know whether it was considered betraying his friend or not. Anyway, he couldn't control that much. In Zhang Xiang's hands, he held the book of life and death, so he couldn't be careless.
After sending away Lan Yu, Zhang Ximeng finally had enough confidence to implement the strategy.
But before taking action, there is one more thing that needs to be done, and that is to get money from Lao Zhu.
Zhang Ximeng thought for a moment and simply sent a message to Li Zhen and called the old man over.
"In the future, the royal industry will be inseparable from Zongzheng Temple, so why don't you make a hard trip?"
Li Zhen nodded, "Mr. Zhang, I still can't figure out how you let His Majesty take the bait! His money is tied to his ribs, and every tael of silver is with him.
It’s bleeding!”
Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but laugh, "The more it is like this, the more interesting it is. I'm very curious about how much money your Majesty has saved."
Li Zhen said with a smile: "Whoever says otherwise, they all say that the Queen is rich, and her property is all out there. With a little calculation, you can find out. Only our Majesty, it is hidden!"
"Let's go, let's go and witness one or two now!" Zhang Ximeng pulled Li Zhen, and the two of them led thirty accountants directly into the palace.
The Yingtian Palace is extremely spacious, and there are still many places where no one lives. Although Zhu Yuanzhang gave birth to many children, the number of concubines is not exaggerated, and the number of palace maids and eunuchs is even rarer.
Therefore, there is enough space to serve as a small treasury to store money.
After Zhang Ximeng and Li Zhen arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived late and stared at them. Lao Zhu's face was dark and his eyes were a little red.
"We are going to use this money to go out and hunt down the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his molars and said angrily: "No compensation is allowed!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and left.
"etc!"
Zhang Ximeng hurriedly called to Lao Zhu, "Your Majesty, wait a minute, the property in the palace must not be careless. No matter how much is taken away, it must be recorded in detail, and there can be no mistakes. If your Majesty is busy with government affairs, please ask the Queen to come over and supervise!"
"
Li Zhen also said: "Yes, the superior cannot leave, otherwise we would not dare to transport the gold and silver from the palace to foreign countries like this."
Lao Zhu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "You are bullying others!"
Do you have to let me see with my own eyes that the money I saved so easily is being moved away by you?
You are bullying honest people!
Zhang Ximeng didn't care about this, "Your Majesty, business matters are business, and brothers should settle accounts clearly. It's a matter of the royal family, and I don't dare to be careless."
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth, turned back, and nodded at Zhang Ximeng, "You are really good! When you persuaded us to pay, you were like a princess... Remember, if we lose money, we will never end it with you.
!”
Lao Zhu said angrily: "Open it and let them move it! Move it quickly!"
At this order, the door to the treasure house was finally opened. After a slight hesitation, the personnel entered one after another, and then boxes after boxes of gold and silver were moved out.
Zhang Ximeng stepped forward and opened a box. It was so golden that it almost blinded him.
It’s all pure gold!
This box alone contains three thousand taels!
"It's three thousand two hundred taels, a total of two hundred kilograms!" Lao Zhu's voice was low, and his heart was bleeding.
Zhang Ximeng nodded secretly, don't say anything, just pretend!
Fifty boxes of gold alone were shipped out, and then there were even more boxes of silver. It could be said to be piled up like a mountain.
It’s really hard for Lao Zhu, how on earth did he save so much money?
It is indeed the Liver Emperor, no matter in any aspect, it does not disappoint!
After a full day of work, Zhang Ximeng moved fifty boxes of gold and eight hundred boxes of silver from Lao Zhu... A rough estimate is that there are several million taels, and a million taels of subsidies are considered.
"Please rest assured, my lord, with so much money, it is enough to do a big business!" Zhang Ximeng also had to cheer up and deal with it seriously.
