The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin thought for a moment and wanted to discuss the theory of rich countries with Wang Qiong.

"Does Mr. Wang have a son?"

Wang Qiong took a sip of tea and squirted it into the stove. She looked up at Yan Chengjin with a more wary look.

Don't dare to let this guy know, so you quickly change the topic.

"If you ask this, I will leave."

"Master Wang misunderstood. What I want to ask is that Chang Sui Xiaoming earned one hundred taels of silver and deposited it into the business. How much money can be withdrawn after ten years?"

A: One hundred and eighty-seven two-four cents

B: Unable to determine the specific amount

C: Not a penny. "

Wang Qiong started to calculate the interest of the firm, and pinched his fingers according to the interest of the Hongzhi firm.

"A, one hundred and eighty-seven two-four cents."

Yan Chengjin shook his head, looked at Wang Qiong and said, "Mr. Wang, this is a multiple-choice question."

"You can't do it if you bully me?"

"This question should be all-choice. The interest rate may change in ten years, so B is also counted. If the company is bankrupted or the money is taken overseas, C is also considered correct."

"..." Wang Qiong.

He smiled slightly awkwardly. Yan Chengjin was right. It was easy to go to sea with money.

If you lose money, don't just run away with your property.

Wang Qiong gradually became interested when she thought of the Cantonese businessmen running away with the money, "What does your Jianliang Township business have to do with it?"

"I will not run away. If I retire, the court will still be here and the new emperor will be here."

Yan Chengjin looked at Wang Qiong seriously. He didn't know whether the Guangdong merchants would run away.

But he simply wanted to replace it.

Seeing Wang Qiong's hesitation, he continued: "Master Wang, you know why people are willing to believe in Cantonese businessmen?"

Wang Qiong frowned slightly and wondered why the people still kept money there even if they knew it?

"Why?"

"The silver from Guangdong merchants can also be withdrawn in other places. Moreover, as long as the silver is deposited, the goods can be picked up and traded in foreign places."

Although there were business names in many places in the imperial court.

But if the people want to leave, they have to take out all the local money and deposit it in another place.

Moreover, if people from Guangdong and Guangxi want to sell silk, they only need to go directly to Jiangnan with the stubs. They can pick up the goods from the warehouses of Cantonese merchants and sell them on the spot, saving the toll of transporting them from Guangzhou to Jiangnan.

Yan Chengjin only found out after he sent someone to inquire.

The Cantonese businessman was so smart that even he couldn't help but applaud him.

"Liangxiang Company can also do it. I also want the banknotes to be circulated overseas."

To circulate banknotes overseas, a Ming business name must be established.

From now on, Liangxiang will belong to the imperial court, and with its trading ability, it can quickly establish a business name, which is an advantage over the imperial court's own establishment.

"You, let me go back and think about it."

Wang Qiong felt that Yan Chengjin was about to persuade her, so she didn't dare to stay longer and hurriedly walked out of the house.

Yan Chengjin shook his head, Wang Qiong was really harder to fool than Zhu Houzhao.

…

golden state,

The winter was bone-chilling, so Gao Feng suggested killing the natives and seizing animal skins and food, but Liu Jin refused.

"Master Zhang, we think Liu Jin has betrayed the imperial court!"

Baektu Snow Mountain is right in front of you, but Zhang Fuhua only knew how far it was after going there himself, and the rations and equipment were not enough to reach it.

Turning back halfway, I didn’t know where to look for silver mines at this moment.

Winter in the Golden State is so cold!

Zhang Fuhua took a deep breath and said, "We still need native people for mining. It's not a good time to engage in war at this time. Let's keep them for now."

Seeing that Zhang Fuhua did not give orders, Gao Feng returned to the tent and called his confidant eunuch.

"Tonight, if you kill Liu Jin, we will recognize you as our grandson."

The little eunuch trembled and took the dagger, but thinking that being Gao Feng's grandson might be able to live a good life in the future, he took it.

That night, the young eunuch walked into Liu Jin's mud house in the dark, put the knife on the wooden table, and said to Liu Jin: "Brother Liu, Eunuch Gao asked the young eunuch to kill you."

"Very well, mix this packet of powder into his soup."

The little eunuch took the knife and ran towards Gao Feng's barracks.

Gao Feng: "Did you kill him?"

"No, Liu Jin is not asleep. Let me mix this packet of medicinal powder into your soup."

Gao Feng: "Well done. Pour this packet of medicinal powder into his soup."

The little eunuch put away the knife and ran back to Liu Jin's barracks.

Liu Jin: "He is dead?"

"Brother Liu, before this servant has time to pour it, Eunuch Gao has already drank the soup and asked me to pour this packet of medicinal powder into your soup."

Liu Jin thought for a while, "Tell him, we have already drank the soup, and you can pour this packet of medicinal powder into his soup."

The little eunuch quietly ran back to Gao Feng's barracks.

Gao Feng: "Did you die?"

The little eunuch: "He's not dead yet. Liu Jin asked the little one to say that he had already drank the soup and asked the little one to pour the medicinal powder into your soup."

Gao Feng: "You said we should drink the soup and then pour this packet of medicinal powder into his soup."

The little eunuch hurriedly ran back to Liu Jin's barracks.

Liu Jin: "Is he dead?"

The young eunuch: "Brother Liu, Eunuch Gao said he also drank the soup and asked me to pour the medicinal powder into your soup."

Liu Jin: "Damn it, tell him we took back the poison, and then pour this packet of powder into his soup."

The little eunuch ran out of the barracks and returned to Liu Jin's tent.

Gao Feng: "Dead?"

Young eunuch: "He's not dead. Eunuch Liu said the poison belonged to him. He took the poison back and asked me to pour the bag of poison into your soup."

It’s dawn…

Zhang Fuhua walked out of the camp and planned to send someone to inform each camp to get up for morning exercises, but he saw a man lying on the ground.

It was a little eunuch, his eyes open but motionless, obviously lifeless.

"Enemy attack?"

"Sir, it seems that he committed suicide by taking poison."

Zhang Fuhua looked at it for a few times. Alas, he didn't know whether life in Huangjinzhou was too hard or for some other reason, but he wanted to commit suicide by taking poison.

He could only order to bury him in the back mountain.

An hour later, the personal soldiers came back to report: "Sir Zhang found a gold mine!"

Liu Jin was washing his hands in a wooden basin. Hearing the words of the soldiers, he hurried out.

Zhang Fuhua ordered twelve people to follow him to the back mountain where the body was buried. After walking three miles, there was a clear pond in the shade of the mountain. The water in the pond was extremely clear. If you look closely, you can see gold as big as beans, hidden in the cracks of the rocks with the flowing water.

There is gold somewhere on this mountain!

Liu Jin hurriedly took out the map. He didn't know which place was marked by Sir Yan, but it would be good to find one first.

"Brother, there is a lot of gold. Come down quickly."

Zhang Yanling looked left and right. It turned out to be an open-air gold mine. There was a lot of gold after moving the stones.

What Yan Chengjin, the dog official, said was right.

This is really the Golden State!

Zhang Heling saw this and quickly jumped down, picked up the gold and put it in his sleeves.

"Eunuch Liu, quickly ask the natives to pick up the gold, and I will take a look at the surrounding rock beds."

I don't know how much gold there is here.

If it is hidden underground, the natives will have to help dig out the mine.

"Didn't Lord Zhang say that the natives are useless?"

"Why does Eunuch Liu still hold a grudge? I have said so, but now we should focus on the overall situation."

Liu Jin disagreed, "Lord Zhang, pick it up by yourself."

The natives want to draw a map of the Golden State, which is a big deal. If they withdraw to pick up gold here, when can they draw it?

Returning to the court is even more distant.

Gao Feng rolled his eyes at Liu Jin, "Lord Zhang, we will help you pick it up. After returning to Beijing, you must write this matter clearly."

Zhang Fuhua sighed and had to command the sailors to dig the surrounding soil and rocks.
