"Is the glazed glass really burned with sand?" Not only the chief minister Quan Yun, the Minister of Personnel Fang Dazhi, the Censor Jin Jingnan and others were also stunned. In the past two years, due to the development of the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade, crystal clear glazed glass objects began to become popular in the Ming Dynasty and became another symbol of showing their status in the upper class. Because they are very easy to break and difficult to transport, these utensils from across the ocean are extremely expensive. Everyone present has some at home, but they never thought that those things that look extremely beautiful were actually refined from sand they had never cared about?

Qin Feng pointed to a half-man-tall colorful porcelain bottle placed on the side of the study, "Since such beautiful things are made of soil, what's the difference between glass being fired from sand? We just don't know his skills. This time, Ning Zeyuan and his fleet fought a war with those in the West, captured some people, and found a guy who knew this kind of craftsmanship and handed it over to the Commerce Department. Now the people from the Commerce Department are taking these guys to find suitable mine sand on the side of the Luo River, and are ready to experiment first."

"Your Majesty, for such news, your Majesty, please order Ning Zeyuan and others who know the inside story to shut up. If we really refine this kind of Lu Zhi's glaze, we can make a lot of money." Su Kairong has officially retired and resigned, and Geng Jingming, who was promoted to the Minister of Revenue, had his eyes lit up. "Our Ming merchants are very rich now. Even middle-class families have full purchasing power. Moreover, like Qi State, the most popular ones are those rich families. If you get this kind of thing, you will definitely be able to sell it for an excellent price."

"Shangshu Geng, I seem to remember that the richest businessman in our Ming Dynasty is you." Quan Yun looked at Geng Jingming and joked that he was very good at the young Minister of Revenue. Su Kairong is a qualified Minister of Revenue. He is best at calculating and is commonly known as an iron rooster. It is extremely difficult to pull out the roots from Su Kairong, but Geng Jingming is completely a different way. He is easy to use money, but it is easier to make money. Since he served as the Minister of Revenue and presided over the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ming Dynasty court has finally begun to get rid of the situation where he has been so poor in the past, and gradually he has a little surplus.

Just like a family, if you have money in your purse, your waist will naturally be harder. If you have a lot of money, then you will naturally be extremely harder. As the head of this big family, Quan Yun can naturally feel this change clearly. Of course, he appreciates Geng Jingming even more.

"The Chief Auxiliary, that's the past," Geng Jingming emphasized: "Since he was summoned by His Majesty, the Xiaguan has taken over all the business in his hands. He either transferred it to his former business partners or sold it to the court. Now, the Xiaguan has nothing but a few small workshops to allow his family to support his family."

Everyone in the house laughed. If you really want to talk about wealth, the people in this house may not be as rich as the young minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He himself is a legendary figure in the business world of the Ming Dynasty.

"Support your family? If you still support your family, wouldn't Jin live like a beggar?" Jin Jingnan snorted, "Last time, Jin heard Lord Wang Yueyao say that the Commerce Department still owes you a lot of money. The monthly interest paid is enough for Jin's salary for ten years. I said, Lord Geng, can't you carry forward your style and exempt this interest?"

Jin Jingnan himself is a serious official, and it is even more intimidating to serve as an official position like Du Yu Li. After taking office, countless people were found by him. He had already won the title of Living King of Hell in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. If such a person said such words, Geng Jingming would not treat it as a joke. Maybe this guy thought so, let alone this guy had already started to mess with his black materials.

"This is not possible," Geng Jingming shook his head repeatedly: "This business is business. Lord Jin, I don't say hypotheses in front of His Majesty. I have given up my own business and gave up my business. I have already lost a lot. Otherwise, in the current prosperous Ming Dynasty, Geng's wealth will probably increase several times. When he sold part of the business to the Commerce Department, Wang Yueyao, but he had no money to give me, so he could only do it by borrowing. So the interest must not be reduced. Besides, the state borrows more than me, but it can be said that it involves millions of people. If Geng develops his style and does not have interest, will other people also follow Geng to express his loyalty to His Majesty and his loyalty to the country?"

"What's wrong?" Jin Jingnan raised his eyebrows: "Without the Ming Dynasty, how could you have such amazing wealth?"

Geng Jingming smiled and said, "Mr. Jin, if this happens, the country can indeed get a lot of money in a short time to alleviate financial difficulties, but in the long run, it is to kill chickens and get eggs. If there is no profit, who will lend money to the country in the future? When the country needs money, will it learn from Min Ruoying? The national credit that has been established in the Ming Dynasty over the years will collapse. This is not something that can be established in a short time. This is what His Majesty has tightened his belt since the founding of the country. It is more precious than anything."

Jin Jingnan was stunned and said, "You always have many fallacies, isn't you just want to give up money? It's okay if you don't give it to me, but you've also brought out so many things. Lord Geng, you have to be careful, I'm staring at you!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little nervous, and Geng Ming laughed: "Geng's money comes clearly, it's clear, I'm not afraid of you, Lord Jin, to check it out."

"That's not necessarily!" Jin Jingnan snorted: "You dare to say that you have done nothing in the Chu State when you cooperated with Eagle Nest? Those businesses should also have a share of Eagle Nest. Eagle Nest is the court yamen, so naturally there is a share of the country. I haven't seen you pay these benefits to the court at any time?"

Geng Jingming was furious and jumped up: "Check me?"

"Didn't you just say you're not afraid of me to check?" Jin Jingnan was not afraid of it?"

"Okay, okay!" Qin Feng waved his hand, "Jing Nan, I'm very clear about these things. Eagle Nest has reported to me, and Jing Ming also told me that I have worked hard to make Jing Ming over and be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Jing Ming is also good. With his ability, he will indeed suffer great losses from wealth. Don't talk about these small things. After you go down, burn all these files about Jing Ming to me. Since taking office, you have created a lot of wealth for the country. You are also very clear in your heart. During the Chinese New Year last year, you received a New Year fee of 2,000 taels of silver. This is his credit. Did you have it before?"

"Your Majesty, be in his position and plan for his own affairs. Since Lord Geng has become the Minister of Revenue, he will naturally be able to make profits for the country." Jin Jingnan said with his neck: "But since Your Majesty has spoken, I will naturally do it when I go back."

"Okay, that's it. Today we gathered everyone together, just to talk about the Ning Zeyuan's meaning of Luo Yishui and Chalan entering Beijing. Everyone must have understood. Today we are discussing this matter. What kind of constitution is it for Manilan?" Qin Feng said

"Luo Yishui's purpose is actually very clear," Quan Yun said: "First, it was to let Chalan see the strength of the Ming Dynasty, so that Chalan relied on him more. Second, Ning Zeyuan indulged Bian Nu's departure in the Naval Battle of Manila, which actually split Manila. Luo Yishui's current strength is not enough to calm down this matter. What's more, what Luo Yishui thought in his heart might not only unify Manila, but to build a unified country in that area of ​​sea, which requires our support. But he obviously underestimated Chalan's sense of crisis. After seeing the strength of the Ming Dynasty, Chalan was afraid, so he wanted to establish some intimate relationship with us. However, he did not see that he wanted to oppose Luo Yishui, but to have the ability to protect himself. After all, with Luo Yishui's strength in Manila, he could easily do the destruction and establishment."

"So, do you think Ning Zeyuan's proposal is feasible?" Qin Feng asked

"Feable!" Quan Yun nodded, "This makes us control this sea area one more point. After all, our Ming Dynasty did not have the vision to directly occupy and control that place. Military existence and cultural assimilation, incorporating them into our Ming Dynasty's cultural influence circle is more in line with our interests and a longer-term thing. Where is a princess, but it is better to balance the power there."

"Feable!" Jin Jingnan continued: "We can even support Chalan to have a certain strength. Doing this directly will definitely affect our current relationship with Luo Yishui, but it can be held openly in the name of the princess. For example, the princess guard and the princess guard. In this way, in addition to where the navy exists, we can also explore the influence into the land forces in Manila."

"Feable!" Geng Mingming said with a smile: "Now our trade relationship with that sea area is still shallow, and basically belongs to a role of reselling. In the future, we can deeply intervene in the local commercial system in the name of the princess, penetrate and control it. Your Majesty, the power of money is infinite. He can do many things that cannot be done by force, and it is more hidden and quiet."

"Your Majesty, it is indeed feasible, but this candidate must be cautious," said Fang Dazhi: "First of all, this woman used to marry must be from a great family and has a noble status, otherwise it will make Chalan dissatisfied, and the effect will be greatly reduced. Secondly, this woman must have considerable talents, otherwise she will easily be defeated by others if she goes to a foreign country. Chalan has a princess, and Luo Yishui will inevitably set obstacles for the new princess in the future. Without any means, it is afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold."
