Chapter 259
Censorate's office.
Yan Chengjin saw Shi Lin, and it was Emperor Hongzhi who issued the order to supervise the military affairs officer.
Shi Lin returned to the capital to wait for Duke Bao to head north and head to Yansui together.
Since he came to the Censorate's office to pay the office, the relationship between the office has become subtle.
"Xiao Zhao, do you want broad beans?"
"Xiao Zhang, the tea is cold. Change a cup and drink it again. It is good for the spleen and stomach."
"Xiao Jin, your wolfberry is big and round. Can you give me a cup of tea?"
Yan Chengjin was wary of his concern. This person had only been here for one day and had become familiar with the people in the room. He was also a talented person.
"There is something that is better than this one. It is white, a bit fishy, has a very good taste and is very nutritious. Do you want to try it?" Yan Chengjin took out something from under the table.
It's a water bag, and it's still warm.
Pour a cup out of the water bag, and the white goat milk smell came, not as fishy as Yan Chengjin said.
Shi Lin tasted it and said repeatedly: "It's delicious, Cheng Jin, I'll ask you something, where has Fang Xue gone?"
Yan Chengjin's heart moved. Could it be that Shi Lin is related to the Hongyanchi incident?
Two possibilities suddenly appeared in my mind. One was that Shi Lin was entrusted by someone to come and inquire. The other was that he had something to do with this matter.
"I don't know if the officials are not sure. Maybe I'll take a leave."
Seven days later, Zhu Hui rushed to the capital and went to Yansui with Shi Lin.
The war with the Tatars is about to begin.
The northwest was in chaos, but Liangxiang was quite peaceful and prosperous.
Mayday, the weather is stuffy,
There are few pedestrians on the official road in Liangxiang, but there are many canal boats coming and going through the waterway.
Nowadays, not only merchants from Jiangnan, but also merchants from the coast of Guangdong, who are very interested in goods from Liangxiang.
"Although there are too many businessmen coming to Liangxiang, the refugees are still very poor and the money cannot be lost to them, they can rely on the blessings of these businessmen to make a living." Zhang Xian said.
Yan Chengjin nodded and said, "It's good that you can see this. Don't let the polarization be too serious."
"Sir, what is polarization?" Zhang Xian was puzzled.
"That is... don't let the money flow into the gentry's pockets. If the refugees want to do business, let them do it."
Some refugees act as peddlers and carry goods from Liangxiang to other places to sell them.
In a very small number of refugees who dare to exchange the money they earned from their hard work for goods to sell them. Most of them feel that it is risky and it is more at ease to be a labor force in a workshop or a dock.
"Sir, a businessman from Yunnan and Guizhou said that he wanted to sell nanmu and asked the shipyard if he wanted it?" Xie Yu walked over and asked Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian looked at Yan Chengjin again, and Yan Chengjin remained silent.
"You are just talking about the price yourself."
"Okay!" Xie Yu left happily.
He joined the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce, which belongs to the shipyard, and he also made a lot of money.
Zhang Xianlu asked timidly: "Sir, is it right for the lord to do this?"
"Liangxiang is a righteous bird in the Ming Dynasty, so naturally he has to do business with merchants all over the world. There is nothing wrong with it."
Yan Chengjin bought a mansion in Xicheng District, Beijing. It was far away from the old mansion. The advantage was that the mansion of Lao Wang was next door.
The money sent by Liangxiang could not be filled even if it was dug into the ground.
You cannot open a vault outside.
In order to cover up, I simply bought a mansion and put in money.
The cunning rabbit has three holes, and he occasionally plans to come and live there.
The Jinyiwei recognizes people but not the door. If he comes here to live, the Jinyiwei will naturally follow him.
Living here is safe.
"Young Master, the land deed of this mansion is under the name of the master. It is as large as two acres of land, with sixteen rooms..."
Wang Busui said in a silence.
Yan Chengjin pointed to a pond and asked: "Why is the water here red?"
Wang Busui looked at the pool of water, with a few lotus leaves floating, and the stones in the water were red little by little, as if they were moldy.
"Switch! Change it soon."
Yan Chengjin looked at the dormitory again, pointed to the beam above his head and asked, "This beam presses against the bed, how can I be promoted?"
"Switch, the smaller ones let someone change the direction."
Yan Chengjin went to see the warehouse. There were huge marble slabs on all sides, only the size of a bedroom, and a basement was dug underneath.
This is a mansion that takes three in and three out.
There are rockery, small bridges, pavilions and other iconic landscapes in the south of the Yangtze River, which are smaller than old houses and more exquisite.
Fengtian Palace,
Emperor Hongzhi was thinking about the war in the northwest and wanted to open a warehouse and allocate silver again. The longer it was delayed, the more it would cost.
"Have the Ministry of Revenue settled the money and grain?"
Han Wen stood up and said, "It's calculated that we will allocate 30,000 shi of military rations and 20,000 taels of silver."
I'm afraid that this little money and food will not last a few days, and I will have to allocate the money again.
Fighting the Tatars requires flexibility in marching. Carrying too much baggage will delay the speed of the marching. There is an advantage in fighting in the Hetao area, which is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
I am afraid that the Tatars will rob the food and grass along the way, and they will not be able to buy it at that time.
Mou Bin whispered: "Your Majesty, Yan Chengjin has moved, and the shipyard in Liangxiang seems to have a large amount of silver income."
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes shone brightly and his eyebrows were overjoyed: "Summon Yan Chengjin to the palace!"
Seeing that the cabinet and the six ministers were still there, it was not convenient, so he said again: "You guys have nothing to do, so let's retreat."
Han Wen and others looked at each other. His Majesty summoned Yan Chengjin. Could it be that he should avoid taboos?
When Yan Chengjin heard Xuan's summons, he rushed to the palace from the Censorate and began to calculate in his heart that His Majesty summoned him as soon as he moved, 80% of it was for money.
In Fengtian Hall, there was only Emperor Hongzhi. After he walked into the main hall, Xiao Jing strode and closed the door.
It makes Yan Chengjin feel like a gangster secretly connected.
"My minister Yan Chengjin, please see Your Majesty."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "I heard that you have moved?"
"I am ashamed and did not invite Your Majesty to celebrate the housewarming." Yan Chengjin estimated that Your Majesty knew about it, and said, "The shipyard in Liangxiang earned 50,000 taels of silver, and Your Majesty deserved 20,000 taels. In a moment, I will order someone to send it to the palace."
"I don't want to say anything, I want to say your joy of moving forward." Emperor Hongzhi smiled.
"..." Yan Chengjin.
Your Majesty doesn't even want integrity for money.
The image of Emperor Hongzhi, who was serious in his heart, was much more glorious.
Your Majesty was frugal throughout his life and kept storing silver for the court.
"Your Majesty, will these silver be filled into the treasury or the national treasury?"
If it is filled into the treasury, it means it is placed into Your Majesty’s small treasury, and it is handed over to the Ministry of Revenue for arrangements.
"Put it into the treasury." Emperor Hongzhi didn't care at all.
After coming out of the palace, Yan Chengjin wrote a letter and asked the Jinyiwei to send it to Liangxiang.
The money from the shipyard was placed in the warehouse of the yamen. Zhang Xian saw the letter and ordered someone to allocate the money.
...
Cheng Min-zheng followed Han Simen back to North Korea.
The whole country of North Korea was so grateful that His Majesty the Ming Dynasty not only agreed to enthrone the King of Jincheng as the king, but also sent envoys to come.
The official position is the Right Minister of Rites, and North Korea has gone to such a high-ranking Ming official.
Cheng Minzheng looked at Jingfu Palace. The low houses were staggered but in no order. There was no gold brick in the courtyard, and it was still muddy.
It's simply that his mansion in Huizhou is not as good as...
The great king of Jincheng and the great concubine Cishun treated him with the highest etiquette.
When I heard that the Ming Dynasty was going to build an embassy in Seoul, I didn’t think it was wrong and arranged a minister’s residence for Cheng Minzheng.
"Sir, this mansion will be where we live in the future?" Liang Xiaoyi asked.
"good."
