"Why did the Grand Lord of Jincheng know about this?" Yan Chengjin asked.

Cheng Minzheng sighed: "Han Simen is the master of the Lord."

Yan Chengjin did not see the great king of Jincheng because he did not want to give the censors from the six ministries a chance to impeach.

The last time, Cheng Minzheng was asked to take the Lord of Jincheng as his disciple, which violated His Majesty's majesty.

Now it’s time to get promoted, and meeting each other rashly is likely to get verbal.

Cheng Minzheng muttered: "Uncle Shi thought you wouldn't see you, so he didn't agree."

The great king of Jincheng in historical books is extremely cowardly and is easily controlled by ministers.

Cheng Min-zheng became his teacher and would most likely be regent in North Korea in the future.

Although he didn't know why Li Yi came to Liangxiang, Yan Chengjin guessed that it was probably not his own idea.

In Liangxiang, after seeing many novel things, Li Yi understood what Hansimen said.

Liangxiang has many outstanding technologies.

The Jurchens and the Tatars gained the techniques of forging and textiles by plundering the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty.

But North Korea is a tribute country of the Ming Dynasty and cannot do such unethical things.

According to Hansimen, the person who spreads this technology is most likely Yan Chengjin.

I wanted to see Yan Chengjin, but this person didn't see him, and I was secretly anxious.

I waited for a few days at Honglu Temple and waited for the opportunity to meet the saint.

Morning court,

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Li Yi in the hall. This is the King of Korea, how many years younger than when I ascended the throne.

Thinking of this, I have a little more favor.

Li Yi paid great politely to Emperor Hongzhi, and then greeted the cabinet and the six ministers. After some greetings, he asked, "I wonder... can Lord Yan Chengjin be in the hall?"

The hall is lonely and silent.

Emperor Hongzhi's brow moved slightly, and Yan Chengjin's reputation spread to North Korea.

Ministers such as Li Dongyang and Liu Jian showed surprise.

Yan Chengjin was obviously in the hall, but he did not respond. At this time, he was definitely speculating and making a guess again.

"This king, what do you want to see Yan Chengjin?"

A voice floated from nowhere and echoed in the hall.

The voice revealed that cautious aura, but it was extremely familiar.

The beard on the corner of Emperor Hongzhi's mouth twitched and ignored it. Perhaps Yan Qing's family had a different meaning.

Cheng Minzheng's heart moved, but his disciples were smart. In front of His Majesty in the court, Yan Chengjin would definitely not be able to refuse.

Due to etiquette, we always have to meet each other.

However, what surprised him was.

Still no one saw Yan Chengjin.

Li Yi said respectfully: "I have something to ask for advice."

"This is the court, and only discusses the affairs of the court. If you have any questions, please ask for advice. Please come to the court and ask for advice later."

Yan Chengjin's calm voice echoed in the hall.

Although we haven't met, we have guessed the purpose of the King of Jincheng.

Han Simen failed to take away "Song's Heavenly Works" and must have asked the Jincheng Majesty to come and find it. As soon as he opened his cuffs, the book could fall into North Korea.

Cheng Minzheng bought a house with two in and two out in Liangxiang.

It is not considered a luxury palace compound, but it is close to Qingshan Library.

Standing in the yard and looking up, you can see the large plaque of Qingshan Library. His face showed joy and was extremely satisfied.

Li Yi must go to Qingshan Library every day to recite the Song Dynasty's Heavenly Works.

Books cannot be taken away, but they can be borrowed.

As long as you memorize it fast enough, you can carry all the Song Dynasty rituals and bring them back to North Korea before returning to North Korea.

…………

A new loom from Liangxiang has been made.

Yan Chengjin formulated two plans, one is collective production, where the refugees go to the workshop to work and calculate the money for the refugees according to their working hours.

One is to sell looms and raw silk to refugees and the people, buy them home by themselves, woven silk brocade, and then sell them to workshops.

This is one of the few opportunities for refugees.

The refugees in the straw shed have accumulated some savings after more than a year.

Liang Zhong went to the duck down factory to work by selling sesame cakes and his daughter-in-law, and his family saved more than fifty taels of silver.

Enough to buy a loom and dozens of raw silk.

But when it comes to hearing that the price of silk in Jiangnan has dropped sharply, they are always waiting and watching.

Liang Zhong reluctantly bought a loom and ten raw silk pieces, and asked about the rise and fall of the price of Jiangnan silk every day.

He dared to buy a loom because he believed that the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce would collect silk as promised.

The more you weave, the more money you earn.

It's more profitable than working in a long-term worker in a workshop.

But after waiting for a few days, I heard that the silk in Jiangnan had fallen even harder.

Wang Busui was also anxious now, and he bought the loom and raw silk almost with his silver.

If you lose all your money, what else can you do?

All the money obtained from Lao Wang’s Bookstore Jingying was lost.

"Lao Gao, will the price of silk in Jiangnan really rise?" Zhu Houzhao asked seriously.

Yan Chengjin said calmly: "Of course it will increase. I bought tens of thousands of raw silk pieces."

"When will it rise? How much will it rise?"

"When Liu Jin brought the big ship back, the price of silk will rise." Yan Chengjin was puzzled: "Your Highness asks what this is for?"

"I want to invest in the shares!"

Zhu Houzhao carefully took out a hundred taels of silver.

Yan Chengjin gave him a blank look. With Zhu Houzhao's small treasury strength, he had at least two thousand taels of silver.

"Your Highness doesn't believe in me? You can't invest in just one hundred taels."

Zhu Houzhao sneered: "I have asked Zhang Xian a long time ago, one tael of silver, I can buy 10,000 shares, but you still want to cheat me!"

I knew that Lao Gao, the dog official, would fool him, so he made a lot of preparations in advance.

Yan Chengjin ordered people to bring the contract: "Your Highness wants to buy it, but he can only buy it from his ministers, and others have no right to sell the equity.

If you have two thousand taels of silver, let Your Highness invest.”

Zhu Houzhao hesitated and said, "Can you guarantee that silk will definitely increase the price?"

Yan Chengjin thought for a while and said, "The price of silk will definitely rise. Your Highness is waiting to see if he pays the money. If he pays it, I will give it back to you."

Zhu Houzhao was happy.

If you make money, you can get money, and if you lose money, you can get money back. So you go back to the East Palace to hand over more than 2,000 taels of silver to Yan Chengjin.

...

In the court, many officials were concerned about the price of silk and tea.

Especially for the Ministry of Revenue, after the tax is collected based on the bank, the price has a great impact on taxation.

Originally, the tax was thirty and the goods were collected as tax silver.

But after the money was replaced by silver, a piece of silk sold for seven taels and two taels, and the tax silver also changed from seven taels to two taels.

And after the price fell, very few people in Jiangnan went to business, and the money received by Quoguan became less.

Emperor Hongzhi used to be only concerned about the grain harvest, but now he has a large portion of the income from commercial taxation and has gradually paid attention to the economy.

He looked at Han Wen and said, "How is the price of silk and raw silk?"

"Report to Your Majesty, it still didn't rise." Han Wen said.

"Ministry of War, is there any news coming from Songjiang Prefecture?" Emperor Hongzhi asked.

Qin Xun shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, Yan Chengjin said that only when Liu Jin regained the big ship, the price of silk would rise.

Although I don't believe it completely, I believe it a little bit.

Wang Shouren is really disgusting. He didn't send a memorial to Beijing for more than half a month.

Twelve days later, the official road outside the capital.

Wang Shouren, Liu Jin and Zuo Zongyi arrived in the capital soon after, with horses.

In Songjiang Prefecture, Wang Shouren rectified the military camp and taught the mind. He was so busy that he saw Liu Jin coming back, he returned to Beijing to report his orders, and stopped writing a memorial.

"Mr. Wang is afraid he will be promoted again when he goes back this time." Liu Jin said enviously.

Wang Shouren said: "Eunuch Liu regained three large ships, and Your Majesty will also reward you."

Liu Jin looked worried: "We just want to survive with Lord Yan."
