In order to prevent Yun Niang from eavesdropping on the root of the wall, Ye Cheng increased her task and asked her to calculate the approximate accounts of the Wantong cash cabinet.

Ye Cheng made a very detailed analysis report.

According to the report, the amount of silver that can be used in the Vantone cash cabinet is roughly around 12 million yuan.

There were only three people in the huge Fengtian Temple.

Lao Zhu.

Zhu Biao.

The commander of the pro-army Governor's Mansion made Mao Xiang.

Zhu Biao handed over Ye Cheng's analysis report to Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu only glanced at it and began to frown, and asked, "Whose character is this, why is it so ugly, I can only barely recognize it!".

"This is Ye Cheng's handwriting!" Zhu Biao helped explain: "I once asked him, and he said that when you are a doctor, your handwriting should not be too good, otherwise the prescription will be easy for people to recognize, and some patients will guess randomly, which is not conducive to treatment!"

Actually, that's not the reason at all.

Ye Cheng is just not used to ancient characters and brushes.

But.

This explanation makes sense.

Lao Zhu didn't think much about it.

Continue reading the report.

When he found out that Wantong Money Cabinet could actually mobilize more than 10 million yuan of silver, he was completely shocked.

At this time.

Agricultural tax plus commercial tax, all taxes in the Ming Dynasty did not exceed 10 million.

Coupled with the continuous use of troops in the north and the pacification of the rebellion in Xifan, Lao Zhu, who had been overwhelmed by the huge military spending.

There is not much money in the treasury that can really be mobilized.

If Zhu Biao hadn't taken over Wantong Money Cabinet, he would definitely have to consider issuing additional Daming treasure banknotes.

"It's amazing that Wantong Money Cabinet can mobilize so much cash!"

"Father!" Zhu Biao said: "This is only the amount of silver money that can be used, and the common people have more money in the cash cabinet!"

After taking over Wantong Money Cabinet, he also asked his subordinates to do a very careful accounting.

I still know a lot about the cash drawer situation.

Lao Zhu smiled and nodded, and asked, "In that case, where are you going to use this money?"

"Back to my father, I am going to open a national cloth village, the silk of Suzhou, the cotton cloth of the northwest to promote it, in the future, no matter where in the Ming Dynasty, you can buy cloth and silk from the cloth village!" Zhu Biao said ambitiously: "Of course, the most important thing is to operate the coastal area, open a salt farm, if the conditions permit, go to the sea to fish according to what Ye Cheng said, and make the sea fish into salted fish to support the army!"

Lao Zhu continued to smile: "It's okay to open a salt farm, as for fishing in the sea, don't be so blatant, just do it in private, but don't worry too much, Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others have asked the house slaves to buy the salt farm in Chongming, and soon, they can't help but ask us to lift the sea ban first!"

Zhu Biao said: "Erchen is not going to set up the salt farm in Chongming, but plans to start in Quanzhou, Ningbo and other places!"

The

three largest salt farms in Chongming are all Ye Cheng's, and Zhu Biao is embarrassed to make up his mind again.

Lao Zhu nodded and said: "The coastal side is getting more and more lively, and the position of the salt envoy of the two Zhejiang provinces can no longer be vacant, who do you think can take on this role?"

"Father, the two brothers of the Chang family are in Chongming, Chang Mao is the commander of the guard, it is better to let Chang Sheng serve as the salt envoy of the two Zhejiang, whether it is Ye Cheng or Zhao Jun, the prefect of Suzhou, will help him, what do you think?"

"The second boy of the Chang family, he is a steady person, not as reckless as the boss. Even if he is a salt envoy in Zhejiang, any decision will be discussed with Ye Cheng, Zhao Jun and others!" Lao Zhu said: "He is a salt envoy, and the officials in Suzhou will definitely help, naturally!"

Lao Zhu glanced at Mao Xiang again and asked, "Can someone in the royal family go to the coast to develop, but someone can open a salt factory?"

At this time, the pro-army Governor's Mansion already had some rudiments of Jinyi Guard, responsible for scouting and finding out news for the emperor.

Mao Xiang naturally knew everything about

the princes, and replied: "In addition to Princess Lin'an's husband, Lord Li, who sent someone to Chongming, and King Yan also sent domestic slaves over, but ....... "

Mao Xiang was a little speechless and stopped.

"Say whatever you want!" Lao Zhu scolded.

Mao Xiang said: "After other powerful slaves arrived in Chongming, they began to go to the Ye family and Chang's salt farms to learn refined salt production techniques, but the people sent by King Yan were different, Liu Jin started to produce after buying a few salt farms, but the production was coarse salt, and the price was incomparable with refined salt, and I don't know what was mysterious in it!".

"What else can there be?" Lao Zhu scolded in a low voice: "It must be that the fourth child can't wipe his face, and he refuses to bow his head to discuss refined salt manufacturing technology with Ye Cheng and the Chang family!"

Lao Zhu sneered in his heart.

The fourth child married Xu Miaoyun, who grew up in the palace since childhood, and had a father-in-law like Xu Da, so I am afraid that some pride has grown in my heart.

He may have thought he was treating him differently.

It's just that.

The fourth child didn't know at all.

In their own eyes.

He is no different from the second, third, or even fifth.

It's just that I married Xu Miaoyun to him just because of the right age.

Compared with.

Lao Zhu thinks that Chang is more suitable to be the crown princess.

It is common to die early in spring.

Chang Mao is a gentleman again.

The Chang family's power will not swell to the point where they can't control it no matter what.

The prince does not marry Xu Miaoyun.

In order to win over the Xu family, she can only marry Zhu Di of the right age.

"Looks like I should find a chance to knock on the fourth. Lao Zhu thought in his heart: "Why don't they let the two of them take their newborn son back to Fengyang to recuperate?"

Thinking of Fengyang, Lao Zhu thought of his other sons again, and ordered: "Biao'er, let your younger brothers in Fengyang also send some people to open salt farms along the coast, so that the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, so that you can also have more helpers!"

Zhu Biao agreed.

Soon.

The Chang family heard the rumors, and the emperor wanted Chang Sheng to take the position of the salt envoy of the two Zhejiang capitals.

The salt envoys of the two Zhejiang provinces are the official positions of the third grade, and they do not have to go to the battlefield.

The Chang family was naturally very happy.

The two Chang Mao brothers are one scholar and one martial artist, and they can be regarded as completely controlling the two Zhejiang salt administrations, plus Zhao Jun and Ye Cheng help each other, the Chang family is afraid that it will really prosper.

Hu Shi smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I want you to help me more in the future!"

She was delighted.

The husband has real power and does not have to go to war.

In her heart, this is already the best result!

"Sister-in-law, don't worry!" Ye Cheng said, "I will definitely do my best!".

Lan looked at everyone with a smile, and thought in his heart: "If the Chang family can prosper, I can be regarded as the right King of Kaiping!"
