Chapter 68: I’m really rich

Zhu Di’s eyes swept over a trace of excitement and said, “How much silver is there?”

“It’s net profit, what’s left over after paying the boatmen and others, and isn’t it still not commuted?”

With that, Zhang Anshi looked at an accountant and said, “How much has been calculated now?”

That bookkeeper was respectful, looked at the number carefully, and said, “Back to the proprietor’s words, the silver has now been discounted by twenty-nine thousand taels.”

Zhu Di was shocked, “Twenty-nine thousand taels?”

The bookkeeper returned, “It is twenty-nine thousand taels, only now, it has not yet been clarified, and there is still more than half of the gold and silver has not been commuted into the treasury.”

Zhu Di breathed roughly, he turned back to look at Zhang Anshi: “But what I heard is …… that your pure profit here is 30,000 taels up and down.”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “His Majesty …… no, when did the marquis find someone to ask?”

Zhu thought carefully, “Seventeen or eighteen days ago.”

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said, “The number of roughly that time is also true, but does not the marquis know that business will prosper? Seventeen or eighteen days ago, although the ship industry has a scale, but thanks to our capital city three fierce, will Liang Baido dry a half dead ……”

Zhu Di’s body was shaken, that the three murderers in the capital city lawlessness, and still business is booming?

Zhang Anshi excitedly said the situation of the shipping industry roughly: “The chaos of shipping everywhere is numerous, the people on this pier suffered, those boatmen who carry passengers also suffered, as well as merchants and merchants …… who consign their goods, but also have no bottom line in their hearts. Marquis, this kind of place, because of the extremely large number of mobile people, the three religions and nine streams of people, can be said to be a place without the king’s law.”

“A few brothers and I want to make money, the first thing we need to do is to establish our authority, to let people know that as long as they defect to our boat industry, then you will be guaranteed a steady stream of business and make sure you won’t be bullied. But for the boat passengers, it also gives them convenience. Of course, one of the biggest sources of profit, or in the freight, we played their own gold sign, those merchants would have suffered from the lack of trustworthy transportation channels, over the years, the river I do not know how many cases of merchants escorting goods, the result was robbed of money and harm to life, we have this ship transport, control the flow of goods, but also so that we all gained profits, can be said to be all the benefits without any harm. ”

“It’s just that many people can’t help but be jealous when we do this business. Those who used to be the authority at the docks and the unruly boatmen from before have also been damaged. Therefore, if you want to do a good job in shipping, the most important thing is to establish prestige. That’s why we have the three murderers of the capital, to teach people to hear our infamy, they can’t help but tremble. That hundred of Han Wangwei, ran to bully us, if we don’t fight back, everyone on this river will feel that we can’t protect their interests, so who will be willing to defect to us?”

“But after cleaning up that Liang Wu, this pier up and down the people know that the original capital three murder so powerful, even the Han Wangwei people are messed up, so this more than half a month, rely on our boatmen more and more, willing to hire us to carry goods more and more merchants, business is booming, the sale of natural prosperity.”

Zhu Di is how smart people, a moment to understand the meaning of Zhang Anshi, he brightened up: “Interesting, interesting, so it is, that Liang Wu played well, he mother, you early and I said, I will his home that a street are bombed.”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

The good thing over here is that there is intense commutation going on.

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, invited Zhu Di to speak inside, and Zhu Di took his seat and sipped his tea as he anxiously awaited news from the accountants.

Not forgetting to give Zhang Anshi another admiring glance, he added, “In that case, Zhu Yong, a few boys, have made a great contribution.”

Now that no one was around, Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Your Majesty, they are either beating or being beaten every day for our shipping industry, in the wind and in the rain, and it hurts me to look at them.”

Zhu Di nodded: “Hard, hard, really worthy of the general’s family, tiger father, their father, also this is not afraid of danger.”

Zhang Anshi then took the opportunity to smile and said, “I wonder when Your Majesty will release them?”

“Release is to be released.” Zhu Di ambiguously said, “But don’t be too hasty, I’ll ask you, where did you learn all these skills?”

Zhang Anshi said, “This …… minister learned from his brother-in-law.”

Zhu Di laughed coldly: “The crown prince is foolish, if you are half as smart, I will be relieved, you kid, what you say is not true.”

Zhang Anshi didn’t know what to do for a moment.

But at that moment, a bookkeeper hurried in.

Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi both looked towards this bookkeeper.

The bookkeeper panted, “Roughly converted out, converted out.”

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, clearly having a really hard day.

Zhu eagerly said, “How much?”

“Sixty-seven thousand three hundred and fifty-three taels and seventy-nine cents.”

Hearing this amount, Zhu Di’s eyes dropped.

It’s twice as much as the expected thirty-thousand-two.

What kind of concept is that?

A year’s income could be as high as 800,000 taels?

District shipping, making so much money?

I can take 400,000 taels a year directly from it for nothing.

And according to the words of this Zhang Anshi, in the future, this trading …… may still have a huge profit.

What a terrible amount is that?

Zhu said, “More than 60,000, there are more than 60,000?”

The bookkeeper was not at all surprised.

He felt that any man who could make such a big sale and make such a handsome profit would look like this.

So he calmly said, “Yes, but …… this is only a rough calculation, and later on there will be two more detailed calculations before the account can be entered, but the final number, by and large, will not have too much deviation.”

Zhu Di’s face flashed brightly and darkly, and there was an overwhelming urge within him.

With a minimum of 400,000 taels of grain silver in dividends a year, how many soldiers can be raised and how many military horses can be fed.

In addition to …… Zhu Di also stored to create Beiping line in the mind, and …… he wanted to go down to the West to see.

This myriad of ideas and planning is actually more ambitious than the Imperial Examiner, Emperor Taizu Gao!

Because Zhu Di knew very well that he was the son of heaven who succeeded in pacifying the country and was regarded as a chaotic and traitorous son, and if he could not have the same achievements as Emperor Tang Taizong, he was bound to be laughed at by thousands of generations.

And all of this, one thing or another, requires silver.

Not to mention the fact that a disaster here this year and a man-made disaster there next year do not require money or food.

But just such an inconspicuous trade, actually …… profited handsomely to such a point.

Zhu hemmed and hawed, unable to say anything for a long time.

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, said to the bookkeeper, “Go down and clear the accounts again.”

The bookkeeper excused himself.

Zhu was still sitting where he was, not saying a word.

He under slightly closed his eyes, fiercely, and open the tiger eyes, this moment, Zhu became alive, his eyes flashed with essence, said, “This sale …… is very good, in the future, you to take charge of this ship industry.”

Zhang Anshi nodded.

Zhu Di added: “But …… cut must not spread the news of the palace related to this ship industry.”

“I understand.”

“What do you know?”

“His Majesty also wants to save face.”

Zhu shook his head and laughed, “Young people should not be too angry, some things can be known in the heart, it would be wrong to speak out.”

Zhang Anshi then said, “I see, the reason why His Majesty is unwilling to get involved is because His Majesty is kind-hearted and can’t bear to see his subjects knowing that His Majesty is rich and prosperous, lest they become jealous in their hearts.”

Zhu Di angrily said: “put your mother’s fart, I am rich in the four seas, but also afraid of this? Just this matter, after all, there is an obstacle to the view, and you, you can manipulate the sale behind the scenes, can not come out as little as possible, you are the crown prince’s wife and brother, don’t let people talk about the East Palace gossip.”

Zhang Anshi then said tentatively, “Then what does Your Majesty mean ……”

Zhu Di faintly said, “I am still Marquis Zheng Heng of Wu An, and you …… yourself casually.”

Zhang Anshi nodded: “Understood. This deal is what the Marquis of Wu An did, the Marquis of Wu An is behind the scenes manipulating this deal and making a big profit. Marquis Wu’an saw the money and he fell in the eye of the money.”

Zhu Di did not know for a moment whether to praise Zhang Anshi well or scold him a few times.

Subsequently, Zhu Di also said, “earned silver how to dispose of, I will let also lost Ha will know, in the future, what is the matter, you can also through also lost Ha into the speech, if there is an emergency …… East Palace can be any trusted eunuchs can be directly up to the heavenly hearing?”

The Forbidden City is not a public restroom, after all.

Want to go in and out is very troublesome, and the eunuchs have a natural convenience, Zhu Di has an urgent matter, will naturally pass through also lose ha.

Then Zhang Anshi something, there must be an absolutely trustworthy people can do at any time into the palace report.

Zhang Anshi thought for a moment and then said, “There is really one, Deng Jian, a eunuch from the Eastern Palace, who is very loyal.”

“What makes it so?”

“He was so scared to cover his ears when he thundered the sky, so I guess he’s afraid of death, and people who are afraid of death are honest.”

Zhu Di nodded, “Good, this person, I’ll remember.”

Said, Zhu Di then stood up, but still excited inexplicably, can not help but pat Zhang Anshi’s shoulder: “Your mother, and you said so much, this day has been very late, I can not stay outside for a long time, back to the palace.”

Zhang Anshi said, “I respectfully send …… you off.”

“Send your mother a fart.” Zhu Di gruffly said, “A few days do not see, but like those corrupted Confucian general, will be those fart words on the side of the mouth, say these words of people, all obsequious and incomparable, but in the heart …… but do not know what is the flower of the intestines, people still need to have true character is good, do not learn your brother-in-law. ”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

What’s wrong with my brother-in-law?

Ignoring Zhang Anshi who frowned a little, Zhu Di took a tiger’s step towards the outside, just about to go out, turned back to fondly look at those gold and silver that hadn’t been organized again, and then only went out of the small building.

Outside the building is already a million lights, Zhu Di turned on his horse, fire back to the palace.

Back in the palace, Zhu was so excited that he could hardly sleep.

Instead of going to the Great House, he paced back and forth in the Mandarin’s Building, reciting under his breath, “A year is four hundred thousand taels, and ten years ……”

The math was almost done when he snapped to attention, “Someone.”
