The impact on Sun Jiao's soul was so great that he did not recover from it until later.
When Zhu Hao and Tang Yin left the house, Sun Jiao was still in a state of confusion. He just waved his hand and let the two leave without coming out to see them off.
"Zhu Hao, it seems that Mr. Sun will look at you differently."
Tang Yin had a slightly proud look on his face.
It was like watching a large-scale face-slapping scene in person, which made the arrogant Sun Jiao feel the "power" of young people.
Zhu Hao said: "You look at me differently, but it's not for the better. It's probably because... you have a worse impression of me, right?"
"Um?"
Tang Yinben was about to get on the carriage. Hearing this, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Hao, "You have done so many things for the court, and he still has prejudice against you?"
Zhu Hao said angrily: "Any mature and prudent minister, knowing that a young man like me has done so many things that undermined the ancestral system and violated official status and responsibilities, should he give me a high look or put me in another book?"
Keep a respectful distance?"
"this……"
When Tang Yin heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
Thinking about it, maybe Sun Jiao was shocked at first, surprised that Zhu Hao could do so many things, but when he calmed down, would he really feel that Zhu Hao was a pillar of talent?
Hard to say!
"After all, he is your Lao Taishan, and he will never harm you... If you are unlucky, what good will it do to him? What will happen to his daughter then?" Tang Yin thought clearly about the cause and effect, reluctantly expressed relief, then stepped on the horse stool and got into the carriage compartment.
inside.
Zhu Hao got into the car and said: "Because I am Lao Taishan, maybe he will not allow me to mess around. I'm afraid that next time I visit, he will urge me to stick to the rules. Or... expose what I did.
, let Mr. Yang Ge and the others take care of me and put me somewhere for training..."
"Okay! Do you blame me for exposing your affair? You seemed to have said more yourself before... Where should we go now?"
Tang Yin didn't want to continue to pester.
It seems that no matter what Zhu Hao says, it makes sense.
Zhu Hao said: "Go to see Dongzhu Su. He has been talking about you recently and said that he will give you a big gift after you return to the capital. Don't ask me what it is. I will know when you get there."
…
…
Private room on the second floor of the hotpot restaurant.
As expected, Su Xigui had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Zhu Hao and Tang Yin coming, they briefly exchanged greetings and sat down. Su Xigui handed a wooden box to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin asked: "What is this?"
"A little care is not disrespectful."
Su Xigui had a smile on his face.
Tang Yin opened the wooden box and found that it was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, as well as house deeds, land deeds, and deeds of sale, etc. It was like buying Tang Yin a new home in the capital.
Tang Yin looked embarrassed.
Su Xigui gave gifts too directly. He didn't ask whether people needed them or not. He just gave them a complete set, as if others would be curious about them.
Zhu Hao picked up the teapot, filled Tang Yin with tea, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang is currently working hard for the imperial court to mine... That is a good job that everyone covets, and I told Dongzhu Su that it will be opened in the future.
Some parts of the mine will be auctioned directly, and Boss Su wants to get some light from you."
Tang Yin put on a serious face and said sternly: "Doesn't that mean it's a private exchange?"
Su Xigui said: "It's impossible to say that the coal mine was originally discovered by Mr. Zhu Xiaozhang and Mr. Tang. Whether the court wants to sell it off or not has been written down. There is no intention of giving or receiving privately. It's just a little care."
Tang Yin thought to himself, you have thrust this generous gift into my hand, and you still say it’s not true?
"written?"
Tang Yin suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "That's right, I drafted a regulation to prepare for the auction of Zhang's coal mine. In addition, in the future, the Daming mines will apply for certificates... How can I put it, just like house deeds and land deeds, they need to be in
Only by filing with the government and having a real deed can the ownership be determined, which not only facilitates tax collection, but also facilitates future management."
Tang Yin looked serious: "You have thought of everything in advance."
Su Xigui asked in confusion: "Don't Mr. Tang still know?"
In fact, Su Xigui is also very strange here. Because of what Zhu Hao said, Tang Yin and Zhu Hao, master and apprentice, worked together on this matter, but now it seems that Tang Yin was also a hindsight. How can Tang Yin's value be reflected in this way?
"Okay, let's not talk about this."
Zhu Hao said calmly, "Come to my restaurant today. I'll treat you. Don't be polite. Eat and drink when you should. Don't talk about business anymore! Let's go see the auction coal mine some other time to broaden our horizons."
Su Xigui was too lazy to care about what the master and apprentice were doing.
For Mr. Su, making money is the first priority. As long as there is rich ore for sale, whether I buy it or help others buy it, I just need to make a profit from it.
Give me the molding technology later and make me a fortune.
This is more important than anything else.
…
…
Yang Mansion.
That afternoon, Yang Tinghe went to the cabinet from home to check in. Before leaving, he called Yang Shen over.
"...Tomorrow the Ministry of Industry will sell off the Zhang family's coal mine at the armor factory. Although my father has asked people to go there, something may have happened in the middle, so you will also go to watch tomorrow to support the relevant people and see what happens to His Majesty.
Whoever you send out to compete will let me know when you come back."
After all, Yang Tinghe couldn't go to the auction site in person to watch the auction. Although he greeted the Shanxi merchants, he was still a little worried.
If the emperor really takes away all the coal mines owned by the Zhang brothers, he may really build his own small treasury, which will become less and less subject to the control of civil servants. In the future, he may want to build some kind of Taimiao, Xingxian Emperor Temple, Anlu Xingwangfu, etc.
Yes, we cannot use financial constraints as a shield.
Yang Shen asked: "Father, what should we do if the people sent by His Majesty offer a higher price?"
Yang Tinghe shook his head: "Impossible. My father knows how much money there is in the imperial palace. If you want to use private silver to allocate it, even if you buy it back from the coal mine, it cannot be used by your majesty and Tang Yin... Besides, how can those merchants raise so much money at once?"
Do you have enough silver to supply His Majesty’s needs?”
"Um."
Yang Shen thought about it and realized what his father said made sense.
As long as the Shanxi merchants bid high enough, the coal mine is almost certain to be won. The rest of the merchants...such as the Hui merchants, knowing that if they buy the coal mine back will be taken away by the new emperor's forces, why do they want to bloodshed? All the emperor can use is the inner government.
Money should not be too ostentatious, everything should be done in a low-key manner.
No matter how you look at it, the new emperor is very passive.
When Yang Tinghe was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and said again: "Call Zhu Hao and come with us."
Yang Shen said: "Father, according to my instructions, he has been having a heated battle with the old staff of Prince Xing's Mansion recently. If we let him come here rashly, will it..."
"It's up to you."
Seeing that his son seemed to have his own ideas about using Zhu Hao, Yang Tinghe stopped forcing him.
In the past, the father always felt that his son lacked independent opinions on major matters. Now he is gradually shaping his son's independent character. Even if his son's ideas sometimes conflict with his own, he does not force him. This is a father's sincere expectation and good intentions.
…
…
The auction of Zhangjia Coal Mine will be held the next day.
The most nervous people at the moment were not people from Zhu Hao or Yang Tinghe's faction, nor the Hui merchants, Shanxi merchants they called, or those merchants who were interested in the Zhang family coal mine, but the Zhang family brothers themselves.
The Zhang brothers are currently under lockdown. Unexpectedly, someone from the palace came to deliver a message that day, saying that they could watch the auction in person.
The person who went to the Shouning Marquis Mansion to deliver the edict was none other than Jiang Lun, who was also a relative but had not yet been awarded a title by the imperial court.
Zhang Heling used to look down on this nominal uncle, but this time he saw Jiang Lun and was extremely enthusiastic.
"...Meng Zai, tell me, your majesty is still angry with our brothers recently? How about we go to the palace and submit to your majesty? Maybe your majesty will return the coal mine and we won't have to sell it tomorrow?"
Zhang Heling said in a flattering tone.
The characteristics of the Zhang brothers are actually similar to Su Xigui's, they put interests first in everything.
The rest...go to hell!
For the sake of money and face, you can give up anything!
Jiang Lun said: "I heard that the two marquises have lost a lot of manpower, and even the people who helped in the mining have been turned in. If you take this coal kiln back, can you continue to operate it profitably?"
"Who says no?"
Zhang Heling looked proud, "Isn't it just people? The Ming Dynasty lacks everything except people. Even if there is no shortage of people, just catch... hire them."
Jiang Lun was ashamed.
I'm thinking that you, a foreign relative, are used to being lawless, but you can speak freely in front of me, and you just have "go to the private sector to kidnap a group of people again" written on your face. Just like that, you still want the emperor to hand over the coal mine to you?
It is simply disregarding the well-being of the people of Ming Dynasty!
Jiang Lun said: "It has been decided that the bidding will take place tomorrow. According to current reports, four large coal mines and two small coal mines will be sold together. Rumors have spread outside that the market price is around 50,000 taels of silver."
"How much? Only fifty thousand taels?"
When Zhang Heling heard this, he was very dissatisfied with the number.
Jiang Lun thought to himself, as expected, this family has a great business, and even fifty thousand taels of silver is not taken lightly.
If you give it to me... don't say fifty thousand taels, just five thousand taels, or even five hundred taels. I can wake up laughing from my dreams at night.
People are so irritating.
Jiang Lun added: "Of course this is not the final price. It depends on the bids of all parties. Your Majesty's intention is that when the two marquises arrive at the scene, they need to make it clear to the people present that once these coal mines are sold, they will not add any more."
Interfere in business operations, and let people buy and sell as they wish."
"Why?"
Zhang Heling's eyes widened.
Do you really think of me as an honest and trustworthy businessman?
Now I can completely sell the coal mine, and then take it back after freedom is restored and the manpower is fully recruited. This is in line with our character design.
Jiang Lun said: "If the two princes obey, the ban will be lifted, and the money from the auction of the coal mine will be handed over to you. But if you don't obey...then the two princes will not have to do it tomorrow."
I went to sell the money from the coal mine..."
"I'm going, why don't we brothers go? Really, it makes them look like enemies. Your Majesty looks down on people too much! Can we get back the things sold?"
When Zhang Heling heard this, the emperor had drawn a bottom line. There was no way he could take a step beyond it and he could only give in first.
Jiang Lundao: "Just saying it won't do. Your Majesty's intention requires a mortgage."
Zhang Heling's eyes widened: "Mortgage? House or land? Let me tell you, if you want a house or land, you don't have money, and you don't have money. You only need one life... I'm wrong, it's two!"
