The Ming Dynasty started with caution

In just two days, Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Gongqiao came and went in pairs.

The relationship between the two heated up rapidly, and Yan Chengjin guessed that Zhu Gongqiao had figured out Zhu Houzhao's temper.

Zhu Houzhao lacked friends, but as long as he liked people, he was very easy to get along with, so he often got along with the eunuchs.

"Your Highness forgot what you discussed with me?"

Zhu Houzhao looked embarrassed, accepting money from the dog officer, and always felt guilty when he had nothing to do.

"I have not forgotten it, don't worry."

Zhu Gongqiao stood aside calmly, showing no joy or sadness, as if he had not heard that Yan Chengjin wanted to harm him.

At night, return to the mansion.

Zhang Bailing worriedly said: "I found out that Yan Chengjin impeached two officials in just six months. The new residence in the south of the capital and the residence newspaper were also written by Yan Chengjin."

"Although this person is powerful, as long as I am cautious enough, he can't do anything to me." Zhu Gongqiao changed the topic: "Are you ready for the ban?"

In the capital, you need to control your behavior and not be too indulgent.

But don't be too rational, lest your majesty and the prince will be regarded as the enemy.

Zhang Bailing nodded and said: "I have just been sold to a brothel. I am clean and I am resigning."

The next day, it was early morning.

Yan Chengjin stood in front of the bronze mirror, while Li Qing'e helped him change clothes, combed his hair neatly, put on the hairpin, and tied the ear string of the official hat under his chin.

He Neng ran in and said, "Master, Boss Wang's family is here."

Wang Busui was sitting in the main hall, picking up and putting down a sip of tea as if something big had happened.

Seeing Yan Chengjin coming over, he hurriedly said: "Master, the Chamber of Commerce can no longer send out money. When will the money you transferred be returned to the Chamber of Commerce?"

The price of silk has not increased, but silk is being woven in large quantities.

There is no money to pay for the laborers' wages, and freight and materials also need to be purchased with money.

Yan Chengjin's brows moved slightly: "How much money is missing?"

The money Yan Song went to sea was money earned by the chamber of commerce outside the capital. It was not transported back to the capital but was directly transferred to Yan Song and could not be returned.

Wang Bu Sui couldn't get enough money, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the house and said, "O-five hundred thousand taels..."

Yan Chengjin couldn't take it out.

Ten thousand taels is enough to buy a mansion in the capital.

Three hundred thousand taels, even for thirty seats, it would take a month of heartache for the court to come up with this amount of money.

He thought for a while and entered the palace on duty.

Today, Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Gongqiao still come to Wenhua Hall together.

Although the relationship was close, Zhu Gongqiao still performed the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers without any overstep.

Simply, Yan Chengjin asked Zhu Houzhao to give lectures and sat and listened by himself.

At noon, the first half of the feast ended.

Returning to the check-in room, Liu Lai walked in: "Sir, the gentry gathered around the merchant house, saying that the chamber of commerce could not afford the wood and wanted to refund the money for the mansion."

A large number of bank runs would not only bankrupt the business, but also make it impossible to build the mansion in Nanxin City.

Yan Chengjin said: "Who released the news?"

"My subordinates don't know either."

At the time of application, Zhu Gongqiao walked out of the palace gate and passed the crowded Liangxiang business without saying a word.

Back in the palace, Zhang Bailing was happy: "Your Majesty is very good at predicting things. If the price of silk does not rise, the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce will indeed have no money."

"Yan Chengjin doesn't have many flaws, this is enough." Zhu Gongqiao did not dare to underestimate Yan Chengjin, but he believed that it was enough to catch Yan Chengjin off guard.

The chamber of commerce still owes money for the raw materials purchased, wages for workers, and customs duties for shipping.

At this moment, Dong Nuan Pavilion.

Emperor Hongzhi saw the new residence newspaper in the capital. The mansion in Xinjiang in the south of the capital was surrounded by many gentry. They made fences with corn stalks and surrounded them to prevent anyone from entering.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Jing said: "Wang Busui went to Yan Mansion to ask for money. The Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce seems to have no money."

The Chamber of Commerce had no money, just like the national treasury was empty. Emperor Hongzhi understood why the gentry returned the money.

The mansion could not be built, and the gentry was afraid that the court would seize the money.

Wang Qiong looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the money has been paid out..."

Emperor Hongzhi took the newspaper of his new residence, stood up, and walked around the hall, "Where is Yan Qing's family?"

There was no money in the internal funds, so he wanted to ask Yan Chengjin.

The princes were slightly moved. They wanted to ask the steward to return the money. Good guy, the court actually regarded the money they handed over as salary?

Soon, Yan Chengjin came to the main hall and asked, "What's the matter with your Majesty's summons?"

Liu Jiandao: "The mansion in the southern district of the capital has no money to buy wood, no money to pay wages, and no money to pay rations. I invite you to come and discuss it together."

Yan Chengjin knew in his heart that all the princes in the hall had spent money.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin: "Is there anything the Yan Qing family can do?"

"There needs to be something that requires no purchase costs or labor, but can earn a lot of money, so that we can solve our urgent needs."

The princes looked at each other. Even if they mine, they still need to hire laborers, right?

"If there are such items in the world, can they still be sold for money?"

"If you really have something like this, wouldn't you make a fortune?"

Wang Qiong and Zhang Heling looked over with disbelief.

Yan Chengjin nodded: "Your Majesty is sitting on this thing, and I would like to ask you to lend me Yuquan Mountain for three years."

"What does Yan Qing's family want in Yuquan Mountain? Yuquan Mountain has nothing but water." Emperor Hongzhi wondered.

"I can't tell His Majesty yet."

Yuquan Mountain is a place for the royal family, just like a hunting ground. No one is allowed to enter except the eunuchs and the royal family.

Returning to the Wenhua Hall, Yan Chengjin said to the prince in the hall: "Today, I will go to Yuquan Mountain to give lectures and pass on my orders. Go to Wang Gongchang to get some gunpowder."

The princes were at a loss, why would they need gunpowder to teach?

Zhu Gongyu looked at Yan Chengjin in confusion and didn't ask any more questions.

The six peaks of Yuquan Mountain are connected, and there are springs everywhere in the cracks of cliffs and rocks.

However, the springs are very small, and the rocks outside need to be dug up to reveal the spring path.

What Yan Chengjin wants to take is Yuquan.

Yuquan is a thing in the palace, and only the emperor can enjoy it. It is said to prolong life.

It is pure and natural, and it tastes obviously different from well water. Gentry and ministers can't buy it even if they want to.

"Today's assessment is to integrate knowledge and action. You will see how Captain Dong uses it, and then arrange the gunpowder yourself."

Captain Dong Wenrui of the Shenjiying placed gunpowder on the dry stone next to him.

With a bang,

the broken stones flew everywhere, and the spring water became much larger and flowed to the ground.

The princes were a little timid and did not dare to step forward to receive the gunpowder.

Yan Chengjin looked at Zhu Gongyang: "Ning Wang's prince is among the top students, so let Ning Wang's prince go first."

Zhu Gongyang looked doubtful and took a bundle of gunpowder, put it on the dry stone, and lit it like Dong Wenrui.

This gunpowder is wrong, the fuse burns very quickly!

Like a stream of red light, it turns into the paper tube in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

Instantly, there was a mess of blood and flesh, and the cry of pain resounded through the valley, making people dare not look directly.

Yan Chengjin turned around and taught respectfully: "Did you see it? This is the end of not learning well, you must not learn from him."

The princes were stunned.

Shocked beyond words, that was the Prince of Ning, just like that... just like that...

Ye Zhun was also dumbfounded, and hurriedly called out: "Hurry up and take him to Doctor Wang, so you can still vent your anger."

The first day of the 10,000-day daily update is over, thank you all for your votes, the fast-paced update is a bit lacking in tension, Yixiao is indeed not a player who can get 10,000-day daily updates... Finally, the ending of this chapter is a foreshadowing, the protagonist does this for the next step, the answer will be revealed tomorrow, anyway, it is reasonable.
