Even if Tang Yin pretended not to answer key questions, the shock to Fei Hong and Liu Chun was already strong enough.
"Bohu..."
Liu Chun wanted to continue asking.
"Cough cough cough!"
Tang Yin started coughing one after another.
I don’t know if he coughed on purpose. Anyway, he just told Liu Chun and Fei Hong that I am a sick person. When you encounter problems, you should come to me to answer them. It depends on the situation. Don’t ask all questions. You have the nerve to let me, a dying man, rape you.
Can I help you clear up your doubts?
Liu Chun could see that Tang Yin did not want to continue to "betray" Zhu Hao, so he said to Fei Hong: "It seems that Bohu is in poor health and cannot support himself. He must return home early to recuperate."
After hearing this, Tang Yin became even more unhappy. You called me here, not to talk about business, but just to get all the details about Zhu Hao from me, right?
Fei Hong nodded and stood up with the intention of seeing each other off. Finally, he sighed to himself: "Bohu, if you can't go to the cabinet to ask questions in the future, don't force it. Whenever big things happen, you have to be there. Someone will go to notify you. It's important to recover."
Tang Yin thought to himself.
Whether I go to the cabinet or not is my business. Although I don’t like to go, but now you directly tell me that I don’t need to go, isn’t it clear that you are treating me as an outsider?
If I have time, I must go and see it!
Just as he was talking, there were footsteps outside, but it was Jia Yong who came with several Hanlin officials. They heard that three cabinet ministers were visiting the Hanlin Academy at the same time, so they hurriedly came to visit.
Liu Chun smiled and said: "I will handle it here, Bohu, you go back first."
"Um."
Tang Yin originally wanted to say, I'm already here, why don't you let me wander around?
I have been a Hanlin bachelor in name for more than half a year, but I have never sat in the yamen for a day. I still don’t know where the various doors of the Hanlin Academy are, what the courtyard is like, and what the rooms are for.
…
…
After Liu Chun and Fei Hong dealt with everyone in the Hanlin Academy, they were on their way back to the cabinet for duty.
Liu Chun sighed: "Now it seems that Jingdao has done a lot for the court."
This made Fei Hong's breath thicken instantly.
Obviously after Fei Hong thought about this matter in detail, he had a bad feeling that he was being teased. Although Tang Yin did not elaborate on many things, Fei Hong could also feel the key to the problem...
Fei Hong said: "Then it's not a group of people, but just one person."
This evaluation is very fair.
Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong, Mao Ji, and even the former Mao Cheng, Liang Chu, Qiao Yu and others, the opponents they have been searching for have been hiding among them, and they have always appeared in front of the world as idle idlers...
Of course, no one dared to truly believe that Zhu Hao was the all-powerful military advisor next to the little emperor.
Liu Chun obviously didn't want Zhu Hao to bear too much pressure, so he hurriedly said: "It's just the words of Bohu's family. I think Bohu is a good person at pretending to be Hutu. Guess what I saw when I went to his house earlier?
?In his study room, there are four words "Rare Lake Tu" hanging on it. Doesn't this clearly tell us that he will hide some things?"
"Isn't it rare to be in Hutu?"
Fei Hong frowned.
If you think about the meaning carefully, it seems that Tang Yin deliberately pretended to be stupid. In fact, with Tang Yin's ability, how could he always be inferior to Zhu Hao?
After all, Zhu Hao was his student.
"Um."
After Fei Hong thought about it, his previously certain answer now became less certain.
What they didn't know was that the words "Rarely Hutu" were given to Tang Yin by Zhu Hao. Tang Yin found it interesting, so he had a plaque hung on it in his study for comfort, but he never thought that Liu Chun would regard it as his motto in life.
Already.
In fact, Tang Yin is not pretending to be a Hutu, most of the time he is really a Hutu, and he really does not want to get involved in the affairs of the DPRK.
Liu Chun smiled again and said: "It's not a bad thing to let Jingdao go to the Ministry of Industry. Didn't he say it? He will focus more on managing the Xishan Coal Mine and Yongpingfu Mine. Mines are being opened everywhere, and the imperial court
No money was spent, and the people were not affected at all. There were very few local reports about mining chaos, which shows that Jingdao has always been very restrained in mining."
Zhu Hao's mining operation was different from the later mining operations during the Wanli period. Zhu Hao adhered to the principle of not affecting the original local industry as much as possible.
That is to say... you have to go deep into the mountains and old forests to open mines. These places are all no-nonsense zones. They do not occupy the original government or local mineral veins, and they do not even affect the feng shui, so as to avoid disputes with local officials and people to the greatest extent.
Although there were vicious incidents in which people in Yongping Mansion caused trouble, that time was mainly caused by someone behind the scenes.
Now that the emperor has great power, the opposition voices in the DPRK and China have quickly subsided, and no one cares about where the emperor mines.
Fei Hong thought for a while, if Zhu Hao is really as crucial to the new emperor's system as Tang Yin said, then it would be a good thing for Zhu Hao not to be in the court.
"Alas! It seems that I will have to deal with Jingdao more in the future."
Fei Hong sighed, but he could no longer just drive away whoever he wanted to get out like he did in Yang Tinghe's time. Now he, as the first assistant, has succumbed to the emperor's pressure. Whoever the emperor wants to use, let alone him.
It's a lot of pressure to drive people away, even to make a stumbling block secretly.
And with Fei Hong's character, he would not do such a thankless thing.
Zhu Hao continued to be a hidden aide beside the emperor. Even if he came to the surface in the future, he could tolerate it as long as the conflict with Fei Hong was not obvious.
This is the essential difference between Fei Hong and Jiang Mian, and even Yang Tinghe.
…
…
The first thing Zhu Hao did after becoming the left minister of the Ministry of Industry was to take a train to Xishan.
As a result, before entering the laboratory in Xishan, he met Su Xigui, who had received the news in advance and was already waiting for him here.
Su Xigui often travels between the northwest and the capital recently. This journey is not as difficult as the journey from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River. It is also easy to encounter groups of Di Yi who invade, so Su Xigui looks a lot more haggard at this time.
"Thank you, Mr. Su, for your hard work...Looking at your travels, where have you been? It's quite far away, right?" Zhu Hao asked Su Xigui who was following behind him as he walked in.
Su Xigui said with a smile: "It's not that far away. I just went to Xuanfu to settle the payment for the fabrics there after the winter. But the northwest is really chaotic now."
It seemed to be reminding Zhu Hao.
Don't always worry about the court disputes such as the Grand Ceremony Conference. No one is taking care of the most important defense in the northwest?
Zhu Hao said: "Yes, who is still in charge of the northwest recently? Even Zang Zhongcheng has returned from Xuanfu. The next step is to see who will be the leader of the trilateral system and boost military affairs in the northwest."
"I wonder who will take over this important task?"
Su Xigui asked with concern on his face.
Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head: "I don't know yet."
Su Xigui smiled awkwardly.
That look seems to be saying, you don’t even know, who else knows?
Isn’t this kind of thing just a matter of your words?
As long as you tell me in advance and I go and curry favor, won't there be a lot of benefits waiting for me when I return to the business in the northwest?
Zhu Hao said: "Dr. Su, our bank account has been open for several years. Although there is income every year, the income is obviously not enough."
"Well……"
Su Xigui heard that Zhu Hao was interested in getting involved in the business world. He hesitated and said, "It's like this. Bank accounts are scattered all over the country. Most of the provincial capitals and prefectures in the north and south of the Yangtze River have semicolons, because
In the early stage, we have to hire manpower, establish relationships with local governments, and purchase houses, etc. The actual cost is very high."
Zhu Hao frowned: "Don't just mention the difficulties."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Su Xigui continued to add, "There are difficulties, but actually progress is okay, especially in the Jianghuai generation, where there are many salt merchants, our bank numbers and banknotes are now recognized when doing business. But in the north, especially in the northwest
, it’s very troublesome to implement. Sometimes it’s hard to even use money in these places, let alone banknotes. Many people regard them as their old treasure banknotes and avoid them.”
Zhu Hao nodded.
It is still a bit difficult to change the business mode of an era and bring the concept of banking into existence.
Su Xigui continued: "As for the matter of bank deposits and lending, the progress is not going smoothly, especially because local governments often interfere with the normal operation of banks. In the past six months, after Jinyiwei intervened, local officials did not dare to reach out. Previously in Jianggan
In other places, there have been cases of government seizures of bank accounts one after another, all of which were resolved through connections with the chief envoy or above, which also involved activity funds..."
When Su Xigui said this, he was actually telling Zhu Hao that doing business these days is not something you can do smoothly if you have a good idea and the market recognizes it.
The collusion between officials and businessmen is secondary. The main reason is that the government interferes too much in the market economy, especially in places where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Who doesn’t make money as an official?
It’s just a matter of getting more and less!
There are also some officials who are not smart and dare to reach out even though they know that this is the emperor's property. They probably think that the civil service group can solve all problems. Until now, the top officials of the civil service group have gradually lost power, and the emperor has taken over the power.
The operation tends to be normal.
"Then next year, it's okay to open 300 more bank accounts and earn one million taels of silver, right?" Zhu Hao said.
"ah?"
Su Xigui's eyes widened when he heard this, looking a little surprised.
Then he realized that Zhu Hao wanted to take advantage of the emperor's increased voice to rapidly expand his business.
In the past two years, I could only think of it as a small business. I worked out the prototype of the business and put it on the market to test the waters. Let more people know about it. I also tried my best in various places and explored the difficulties encountered.
It belongs to "preliminary investment". Now that Zhu Si and Zhu Hao are in control, how can they still follow the same step-by-step process as before?
It must be done in one step!
"What, can't it?" Zhu Hao asked.
Su Xigui said: "Just try your best, I'm afraid this target... is a bit too high."
Zhu Hao said: "It has been three years. If this goal is still big, then we don't have to do it at all. Now with His Majesty's full support, the factory guards can be mobilized at any time, and the Jinyi Guards can still be firmly controlled internally and dare not mess up.
Reach out, it will be too late if you don’t work hard at this time!”
"Yes Yes."
Su Xigui responded with his mouth, his eyes rolling, maybe he was planning something in his heart.
Zhu Hao knew that Su Xigui might have many crooked ideas at this time.
"If you have nothing to do these two days, just stay here. I still have some questions and I'll discuss them with you." Zhu Hao said, "By the way, we will open more theaters, bookstores, etc. here in the future. There is so much work here.
People, the cultural industry is a bit behind. Don’t be dissatisfied with the lack of meat in mosquito legs, you still have to make money when you should.”
