Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty Nine: Joy and Joy

Huang Liji did not dare to neglect, so he quickly took the book and looked carefully.

After reading it, he understood everything in his heart.

The wealth on this book is afraid of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

I have to say that this pirate... is really making money.

I have to say that this Zhang San is courageous enough!

The people came, the boat came, the money was also sent, and dozens of Jiannu people were also given the heads.

This is to cut off all your retreat, and we will come to your Ming Dynasty.

Since you want to besiege the pirates in the Ming Dynasty, this man has set an example.

At this time, if you are still stingy, will the Emperor of Ming Dynasty still have the face to say what the imperial edict is?

When the other pirates saw it, who would dare to come?

What's more... it is a great contribution to killing dozens of Jiannu people, and a few of these Jiannu people have outstanding identities, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are military achievements.

Huang Liji could imagine that if he said at this time, Your Majesty, I think this kindness is too heavy.

I am afraid that Emperor Tianqi will reply immediately, why don’t you give your family’s money and I will reward you too.

Huang Liji knew Emperor Aoqi very well, and Emperor Aoqi really said this.

How will he deal with it then?

So Huang Liji smiled and silently handed the book to Sun Chengzong who was beside him for circulating it.

After seeing this, Sun Chengzong said, "One of the five ministers of Jiannu, and Nurhaci's son-in-law, has heard of this minister. He is a leader of the Jiannu tribes. The reason why Nurhaci married his daughter to him was to win over him. Unexpectedly, he now fell into the hands of Zhang San, chopped off his head and presented it to the court. This alone is a great achievement."

He said with a smile, and actually gave Huang Liji a step.

Huang Liji naturally understood what Sun Chengzong meant, so he gave him a grateful look.

Emperor Tianqi said, "I still think that a deputy general is too young. This time, the Zhao'an is not as good as before. In the past, the rioters and traitors have reached the end of their journey and have to accept the Zhao'an. But the Zhang Qing family is different. He was inspired by me and Zhang Jingyi. He has some retreat. In the vast ocean, if he doesn't want Zhao'an, I will ask you, who can do anything to him?"

This statement made a distinction.

Anyone who accepts the imperial edict will actually be discriminated against in the court to a greater or lesser extent. This kind of bone distrust is a very common phenomenon.

However, Emperor Tianqi's characterization of Zhang San was that this was a loyal and righteous man. It was just because of some reasons that he went to the sea to become a pirate and did not invade the borders of the Ming Dynasty, so he was not considered a sinner.

Qualification is an extremely important thing, which is related to a person's future and even determines his future life and death.

Zhang San then hurriedly said, "The sinner thanks His Majesty for his grace."

Emperor Tianqi then looked at Zhang Guangqian with anger and said coldly: "At first you said that the Zhang Qing family was killed by a pirate, but then changed your words and said that the Zhang Qing family had the benefits of Zhang San. As a minister, you repeatedly deceived the emperor and did not do anything to the emperor. Is it a way to be a minister?"

In fact, Zhang Guangqian had already noticed something was wrong. At this time, he could not argue. He was already frightened and had to bow down and kowtow and said, "I will die."

"If you know that you have died, that's great." Emperor Tianqi looked at him without any disgust and said furiously: "How can I keep you, come and take it down if you are a person like you who only knows how to provoke right and wrong and repeatedly deceive the king... When he goes to the imperial prison, he will discuss his crimes and make a warning to others."

Zhang Guangqian was even more scared and said, "It's unfair..."

Emperor Tianqi said angrily: "You dare to say it is wronged!"

Zhang Guangqian said again: "Your Majesty, please spare me!"

Unfortunately, Emperor Tianqi had already hardened his heart and looked at him coldly with his eyes.

Several imperial guards rushed in, took Zhang Guangqian down, and dragged him down directly.

Zhang Jing thought in his heart that Zhang San was really a good method. Zhang Guangqian arrived on the island and kept cursing. Zhang San must have known in his heart that Zhang Guangqian must be Zhao'an's resistance, so he deliberately gave him a ship and exiled him!

After all, this is an imperial envoy and cannot die. Once he dies overseas, even if Zhang Jing is willing to cover up for him, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will settle the score in the future, which will cause people to doubt.

Zhang Guangqian's temperament was probably already touched by Zhang San, so Zhang Guangqian must be very hated when he exiled Zhang Guangqian in this way. When he was lucky enough to return to Tianjin Wei, he would definitely find a way to denounce pirates like Zhang San.

I'm afraid that Zhang Guangqian would be vengeful and revenge for such a vengeful person, I was afraid that Zhang San was targeting him alone, so he insisted that Zhang Jing would most likely die in his 10th.

But once Zhang San and Zhang Jing returned to the capital, his judgment was completely wrong!

Rumors are self-defeating. In order to protect yourself, Zhang Guangqian will look for countless lies to cover up his lies.

The final result...of course, lies are exposed one by one, and he will die without a place to bury him.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart that those who can stand out from the pirates without a king's law are indeed not a good-looking lamp.

After getting rid of the annoying people, Emperor Tianqi felt relieved and said happily: "The Zhang Qing family also made great contributions to the pirates in the imperial edict this time. It is really hard, but..."

Speaking of this, he immediately lowered his face, looked at Zhang Jingyi viciously, and said sternly: "There must not be another next time for such a thing. Otherwise, I will never let it go."

Having said that, Emperor Tianqi had a deeper impression of Zhang Jingyi.

If there is anyone in this world who can trust, then there is only Zhang Jingyi, or... Wei's partner.

He immediately said, "Now that Zhang Sanqing's family has accepted the imperial edict, I will not say secret words. I plan to establish the East India Company, and all the articles of association will be handled in accordance with the Netherlands East India Company. I will take out 300,000 taels of silver in the silver market, which is considered to be a shareholding. Zhang Sanqing's family has brought so many people and ships. You and your soldiers will use ships and manpower as their shares. Are you planning to invest in the Zhang Qing's family?"

Zhang Jingyi said, "I am willing to invest 150,000 taels of silver."

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Only 150,000 taels?"

Zhang Jingyi said with great enthusiasm: "I dare not overstep."

Emperor Tianqi said directly, "Then let's have 200,000 shares. For the time being, we three companies will invest. I will take it as the best. Each person will calculate 50% of the shares. As for you, the Zhang family will calculate 30% of the shares. As for the Zhang Sanqing family, I'm afraid I'll be wronged, 20% of the shares. Let's do a deal first, and see how the profits are. When you get profits in the future, you will raise the shares."

Zhang Jingyi had no objection to this at all.

It is appropriate that Emperor Tianqi occupied 50% of the shares, but the only one who was wronged was Zhang San.

Zhang San and so many brothers can only make a living by relying on these 20% of the stocks.

In any case, the Zhu family occupied the largest stake.

But... then again, if you really gained the trade protection of the Ming Dynasty and directly cut off the original smugglers, it would be like no middlemen to make a profit, and reduce the risk of buying and selling!

With the support of the Ming Dynasty's power, if this Ming East India Company could really do well, not to mention 20% of the shares, even half a share, it would be enough to kill Zhang San and his brothers.

You should know that when the Dutch East India Company was in its heyday, its market value was converted by the gold price of later generations, which was 8 trillion US dollars. In front of it, there was no one that could be fought for in the so-called stocks in later generations.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi said again: "I have inquired about the East India Company again. This East India Company is sure to have a board of directors, which must review the company's finance and personnel every month. As for daily life, a governor needs to be the director. I am the emperor, not to mention that I know nothing about maritime trade and navigation. Let the governor let Zhang Sanqing's family do it."

Zhang San shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, no, at most, I just manage ships and run ships. It is not just a simple ship, but a specialty needs to be purchased and sold. In addition, I also need to build ports, build warships, and recruit personnel. These things... are definitely not something that the ministers who are used to running ships can do. The governor should take charge of business and ship transportation, as well as the repair and construction of ships, and should appoint more skilled people to be suitable for the job. The ministers think that the Marquis of Xinxian is suitable, but I don't know if he has this skill."

Emperor Tianqi did not expect that Zhang San would refuse the good things of the governor, and he was a little surprised.

However, Zhang San is a smart person and he is not something he can do. He will not accept it easily because he thinks he can be competent for the matter at sea, but he can't do anything on land.

Emperor Tianqi said, "Zhang Qing family, then, I will let you be the governor, you are not allowed to refuse. As for maritime affairs, I will set up a deputy governor, and Zhang Sanqing family will be the one. The most urgent task at the moment is to start the business. Zhang Sanqing family, you should stay in the capital for some days and give me a memorial about what you have seen and heard overseas, as well as how to ship and how to buy and sell."

Zhang San naturally agreed.

After the matter was settled, Emperor Tianqi felt relieved and laughed: "Since I did it, I will succeed. I can't give up halfway. I think I am a good material for doing business... It's a pity... I was delayed by the throne."

Wei Zhongxian and Huang Liji were watching coldly.

Seeing the three of them talking about the company excitedly, Wei Zhongxian and Huang Liji kept winking at Sun Chengzong.

It seems to be saying: Look... this is the good student you taught.

And Sun Chengzong obviously didn't care about this.

To be honest, he always thought that Emperor Tianqi was a good student, with high talent, and was actually quite easy to learn, but his temperament... It was actually a bit different from the emperors mentioned in the book.

He had been secretly ridiculed by people and taught such a student.

Today... I am afraid that you, Huang Liji, will I be afraid?
