Chapter 455: The Golden Age is Coming

"Maybe..." Sun Chengzong sighed and said, "What you are right. There is only gain in this world with giving, and there is nothing you can get? However, I can't bear to see it fail."

"I can't bear it either." Zhang Jing's eyes were bright and said seriously: "If I can solve the current problem in a harmonious way, I, Zhang Jingyi, wouldn't I, Zhang Jingyi, don't want to be kind to others? I have always been a caring person. When I saw a dog wandering on the street, limping, I could feel compassion in my heart. What's more, the success or failure of this new policy determines the fate of countless people. But... I have the heart and can't bear to see the murders and blood, but is this useful?"

"The world is not kind. At this point today, there must be someone who cuts his flesh and someone can survive. I want it all, either, this person is a child or this person has selfishness."

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he nodded and said, "It's better to listen to your words than to read for ten years. Today I have received teachings."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but smile and said modestly: "Mr. Sun is the emperor's teacher. How dare I teach me? In fact, Mr. Sun had known this answer for a long time. It was just that Mr. Sun himself was unwilling to face, and what I did was just telling what Mr. Sun didn't want to face."

Sun Chengzong couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I don't have to be polite. As for the right and wrong, I'll just wait and see."

Zhang Jing smiled and nodded, and then the two bowed to each other before they said goodbye to each other.

In fact, Zhang Jingyi has always had a good impression of Sun Chengzong.

To a certain extent, the image of a scholar-official being promoted by people is often reflected in Sun Chengzong.

Although Zhang Jingyi knew in his heart that from Sun Chengzong's standpoint, he was actually afraid of the new policy, especially Fengqiu's new policy, which even had bloody elements.

Therefore, isn’t he also delusional to take a shortcut?

Zhang Jingyi didn't plan to stop them. They wanted to take the shortcut, so they should take the shortcut.

Because there is a thing in this world that no matter how you promote or beautify it, it cannot be concealed. That is the fact.

Instead of stopping the new policy of the magistrates in the court, it is better to let them open the bloody truth and their ignorance and ridicule in front of the people of the world for people to appreciate.

And Zhang Jingyi thinks that just do your best.

Dig deep into the holes and accumulate grain... uh, you won't be king.

Sure enough, half a month later, Hong Chengchou entered Beijing!

This great hero who made great achievements in Guanzhong and killed countless bandits, his current reputation is at its peak.

His greatest record was just a month ago, he used the name of pacification to lure the bandits to surrender. After hearing about it, thousands of bandits put down their weapons and were finally killed by him.

The thousands of heads were sent to the Ministry of War, which made the court, which was retreating in front of the bandits, rejoiced, and some even regarded it as an amazing victory.

Because of this, Hong Chengchou was greatly welcomed after entering Beijing.

As soon as the person arrived at the capital, he first entered the palace to meet the saint and told Emperor Tianqi some military tactics and training. Emperor Tianqi was probably quite satisfied, and then went to pay homage to all the cabinet masters.

Huang Liji, Liu Hongxun and Li Guo all expressed great kindness to him.

However, when he arrived at Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong stayed in the door. Obviously, Sun Chengzong had been influenced by Zhang Jingyi.

Hong Chengchou didn't care. Soon after, he received the order and began to build a martial arts lecture hall and practice the Shenji Camp.

Hong Chengchou began to recruit students to the martial arts lecture hall. Most of these students were scholars, and many of them were disciples and old officials from his hometown.

In fact, it was indeed a disgrace to the scholars in the past, but with the military academy in front of him, the atmosphere has changed a lot.

Since then, the martial arts lecture hall has recruited many martial scholars and martial Jinshi, which is full of talents.

It has a very vibrant scene.

at the same time.

In Macau.

A lot of silver was sent to Xiangshan County one after another.

At the same time, many Han merchants began to appear in the Macau territory. After these Han merchants arrived in Macau, they went straight to the Netherlands Bank branch here.

Although the Netherlands had military conflicts and frictions with the Flangji people, the Netherlands at this time now inherited the Venetian finance. They continued to accumulate wealth through a large amount of commerce and trade, and continued to increase these wealth through various financial means.

A mere Netherlands is not outstanding in Europe in a sense, but because of their financial industry, they have become both maritime coachmen and one of the centers of the European continent.

It is obvious that although the Flangji people are deeply alert to the Netherlands, they are also deeply dependent on the Netherlands to some extent.

That's the bank.

The Netherlands has huge wealth. Through banks, they continuously absorbed this wealth into banks, and then used bank deposits to purchase government bonds from various countries, or lend them out for profit. The whole of Europe needs the support of the Netherlands Bank.

In particular, in order to compete for hegemony at sea, countries are crazy about building ships and purchasing large quantities of firearms. With government income alone, they cannot maintain this huge standing army and fleet. Therefore, countries have issued national bonds one after another.

Most of these treasury bonds were purchased by the Bank of the Netherlands.

What is most ridiculous is that when the British and the Netherlands competed for maritime hegemony, the British man-made ships and military expenses were all loaned by the Netherlands Bank.

In other words, Dutch merchants deposited money into banks, and the banks supported the British finances, so the British used this large sum of gold and silver to build a fleet, recruited soldiers, and then slaughtered the Dutch.

Of course, this is a later story, and this also proves that the rules of the Netherlands Bank are profitable, for them, there are no enemies or friends in this world at all. They only follow one rule, namely, to make profits.

Because of this, in Macau, banks here are still open. The Florian merchants, sailors, various ship owners, and Japanese people are willing to store gold and silver in the bank.

This Netherlands Bank is almost the largest building on Macau Street. A board is hung in front of the door of this bank called Amsterdam. On the board, it states its identity in Dutch, French, English, Florence and Chinese characters.

At this time, a Han merchant Xu Bu entered.

After sitting down, the Han merchants quickly became popular.

A local banker immediately came up and said with a smile: "Do you have any instructions?"

When the Han merchant saw that the guest who was entertaining him was also a Han Chinese, he said, "I'm here to deposit silver, but I don't know if it's safe to deposit silver here?"

"Of course." The guy smiled and said: "You can ask about the credibility here. In the world, there is no accident in the world."

Han Shang held his chin and said, "Is that so? But I save a lot of money, so that's OK?"

The guy's eyes lit up suddenly: "I don't know how many?"

"Three hundred thousand taels."

The guy immediately took a breath.

He even opened his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but exclaim in his mouth: "So many..."

"You know too." Han Shang continued with a smile: "In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has not been very peaceful. Many merchants have confiscated their houses. It is finally uneasy to keep the money at home."

The guy, Xiaoji, nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, guest, please, we are inside, I'll ask our president to talk to you in detail."

This bank never expected that it would encounter such a large-scale savings.

The bank's income comes from this. Faced with such large customers, for bankers, this is their own father.

On that day, countless silver was sent to the bank.

At this time, the bank president began to write letters to the headquarters with excitement.

He said everything he had heard from here. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty had encountered a crisis of trust with the emperor. Under this crisis of trust, Macau's bank deposit business may grow by hundreds and thousands of times in the future.

The president reported on the situation where a Han merchant brought a large sum of gold and silver to save here today, and hoped that the headquarters would pay attention to it.

Sure enough, in a few days, another Han merchant came, and this time he saved 100,000 taels of silver.

The previous letter was just sent, and the president wrote another letter that night, announcing to the headquarters that our business here may exceed the total of the entire East India and the Far East. The Han merchants here are richer than people imagine. Please be sure to send a director to come here for guidance.

As a result, in less than half a month, more and more Han merchants arrived one after another.

The bank president was so excited that he shed tears. He felt that he should be able to become a director of the headquarters soon.

So he sent out a third letter, which said that the situation in the Ming Dynasty was very complicated. According to our news, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty randomly confiscated the property of ministers and merchants, and these property was far beyond people's imagination! Now the Ming Dynasty has panic. Under such circumstances, it is the best time to continue to expand its business. Therefore, I beg the board of directors to come to Macau immediately, which will help make the business of Amsterdam far exceed the sum of all banks in other countries in the world.

When writing this letter, the president shed tears of happiness, and the tears wet the letter.

So much so that he had to copy another letter again.

Finally, he added another sentence to the signature of the letter: "Gentlemen, the golden age of Amsterdam Bank is coming!"

And in Xiangshan, after Wang Cheng arrived here, he rented a house here.

He had actually figured out the situation of the Amsterdam bank, and now, what he had to do was to send different people to deposit money continuously.
