Chapter 39                                                             �

Facts have proved that the more than one million taels that Yin Zhengmao said was nonsense, but these officials still had money at home.

Zhou Mengchen borrowed the Jinyiwei's men and searched it, and got about 20,000 taels.

Of course, the people of the Ming Dynasty have never had money.

Zhou Mengchen only got floating wealth. As for those real estate that were not floating wealth, naturally someone went to get it. Zhou Mengchen didn't understand it at the time, but later he understood it.

Yin Zhengmao's killing was basically a fish and two. As for who was holding the chopsticks opposite?

Zhou Mengchen didn't know, nor did he want to know.

No matter what, things are difficult to do, and it is too difficult to do. There are about 20,000 taels, plus the previous 5,000 taels of funds, which is enough for Zhou Mengchen to carry out his own reforms.

But as soon as the money was counted, Yin Zhengmao performed differently. He said to Zhou Mengchen: "I don't know, how to deal with this money?"

Zhou Mengchen hadn't thought about it at first. But hearing what Yin Zhengmao said reminded him of Li Shiao before and saw the light in Yin Zhengmao's eyes. He immediately understood something.

Zhou Mengchen has always regarded these accounts as public funds. But now I think it may not be.

At least, Li Shiao did not have to count the money as public funds in his words. And he asked Zhou Mengchen to send someone to search, instead of asking the Ministry of Works to send someone. Is it really that there is no one in the Ministry of Works?

In addition, someone on the other side had chopsticks, so naturally he allowed Zhou Mengchen to make a move here.

It turns out that there are policies from top to top and countermeasures from bottom to bottom. The salary of the court was not high, which forced officials in charge of the Ming Dynasty to come up with many ways to monetize their power.

However, although Zhou Mengchen understood this at this moment, he was still not ready to get a piece of the pie from it.

After all, for Zhou Mengchen, doing things is what he wants most now. His current property is naturally fake, but there is still a 10,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 40,000 or 40,000 or 40,000 or 40,000 or 40,000 or 40,000 or 4000 or 4000 or 4000 or 4000 or 40000 or 40000 or 40000 or 400000 or 4000000 or 400000000 or 40000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

It makes some people in Zhou Mengchen's hands work.

The tenants on the imperial village were naturally dependent on Zhou Mengchen.

This is the personal dependence right of one or two thousand people. From this perspective, why do many people buy land when they are developed? Many times it is not for the little bit of land output, but the invisible power on the land.

Zhou Mengchen was a rich man and looked down on this or 20,000 taels of silver.

But Yin Zhengmao is different.

Yin Zhengmao is a poor man and can't even get his travel expenses before the exam. Even the money for buying exams was paid by Zhou Mengchen for helping him.

Although the imperial examination changed Yin Zhengmao's status, his money bag has not yet changed.

He is still a poor man.

Although he had a salary, the salary of the capital officials was only that. With a little money, he would not starve to death. Now he still lives in Zhou Mengchen's house.

Although Yin Zhengmao will definitely have money in the future, it does not prevent Yin Zhengmao from still not having money now.

If Zhou Mengchen had the money, he would give him at least a few hundred taels of silver with Yin Zhengmao's contribution. This would make Yin Zhengmao's money much more abundant.

However, Zhou Mengchen still included the money in the public account. Zhou Mengchen said: "Now, it takes money to do things, and a lot of this money is included in the account."

Yin Zhengmao heard this and said with a smile: "Sir, wise."

He didn't say a word of objection. But Zhou Mengchen still felt a little disappointed by Yin Zhengmao.

This made Zhou Mengchen happy and said to himself: "Isn't it just money? Can't I afford it?"

After being busy all day, Zhou Mengchen returned home with Yin Zhengmao. However, he left Yin Zhengmao in the study and said, "This is the woodworking lathe I improved before. Look."

Yin Zhengmao was a little unhappy and was absent-minded when he read it. He didn't understand technology, and some of it looked like reading a book of heaven after reading Zhou Mengchen's drawings. Yin Zhengmao said: "Brother Zhou's knowledge is magical, and I don't understand it."

Zhou Mengchen sighed: "My father had just passed away and my family was so poor that it was only more than 100 taels of silver left. It was because of this that I turned over."

Yin Zhengmao smiled and said, "Brother Zhou's family is still well off. I didn't see Yinzi when I was a child. I just got a scholar and only knew what Yinzi looked like for the first time."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Yes, I don't know that Brother Yin was once so destitute?"

Yin Zhengmao said, "More than that? Why did I make up my mind to study for more than ten years and read the words of those corrupt scholars? Isn't it just that I believe one sentence, and there is a golden house in the book."

Zhou Mengchen heard that Yin Zhengmao's words were actually expressing dissatisfaction.

Zhou Mengchen's family is well-off and he is not short of that little money. But Yin Zhengmao probably doesn't have 100 taels of silver on his body now. Even if Zhou Mengchen needs money to do things, he actually does not lack 100000000 silver. If you take it out and share some money, why can't it be possible?

Zhou Mengchen pretended not to hear it and said, "I am a hereditary Yin-Yang official, and I am not allowed to be admitted to the imperial examination. If His Majesty had not given me a favor, I would have lost my Jinshi. So my golden house, nothing else, is these drawings, has been improved by me. It was much simpler before, and it also brought me an annual income of about 2,000 taels. If I hadn't moved to Beijing now, the workshop in Wuchang would still be able to earn 2,000 taels of silver every year."

Yin Zhengmao didn't care about the drawings in front of him, and in his opinion they were almost ghost-painted talismans. Moreover, he had been studying for a long time. He was inevitably prejudiced against some knowledge. He thought that Zhou Mengchen was the knowledge of craftsmen.

But when he heard that this could bring Zhou Mengchen a year of two thousand taels of income, his eyes suddenly lit up. Looking at the drawings, although he still couldn't understand, it seemed that every straight line above was shining with golden light.

Yin Zhengmao said: "This ---   , is this true?"

Zhou Mengchen smiled and said, "How could it be fake? You haven't read my memorial? You can say that you can supply the imperial weapons at a low price. You didn't think about it. If this is not the imperial military weapon bureau, but a workshop, what price can the goods be sold?"

Yin Zhengmao murmured: "It will definitely be lower than the market price."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Yes, how can you not make money? I was in Wuchang at that time, but because I didn't have a strong background, I didn't dare to make more money, otherwise how could it be just two thousand taels."

Yin Zhengmao never looked at Zhou Mengchen’s memorials from this perspective.

This is not Yin Zhengmao's incompetence, but his blind spot in his thinking. Zhou Mengchen's method can be used like this.

Yin Zhengmao immediately recalled the process designed by Zhou Mengchen and the original process of the Military Weapon Bureau. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was true. If a private workshop was produced according to this procedure, it could really reduce the cost and reduce the prices of many commodities.

However, Yin Zhengmao was still a little doubtful and said, "Brother Zhou, is this method feasible to use other aspects?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "Of course it is feasible. Let's do it. There are so many things today, so I'll take Brother Yin to see what the industry in my Zhou Mansion is like?"

Yin Zhengmao said, "Then thank you Brother Zhou."

Zhou Mengchen sighed and said, "Brother Yin will know that a gentleman loves money and gets it well. I also understand Brother Yin's intentions today, but real money is not like this. How much money can I get? After all, the books of sages are books of sages, and there is not no golden houses in it. My knowledge is specialized in building golden houses. But in the Ming Dynasty, there is no power, so much money is from others. Officials are more important than wealth. Brother Yin must figure it out."

After hearing this, Yin Zhengmao said, "Yin understands."

Although he said this, he didn't think so in his heart. He just felt that Zhou Mengchen was talking sarcastic.

When will the money be made? Zhou’s knowledge is to build a golden house. He has never heard of such arrogant words.

However, he vaguely felt something was right about Zhou Mengchen. He was hesitant for a moment. He felt as if he had touched a golden door. He just didn't know what was behind this door.
