Chapter 819 Share and Yangtze River Defense(1/2)

"Mr. Marquis, this is a new Pu'er that just sent to Yunnan yesterday. Please try it..."

"Hmm? Hehe. Master Zheng, I'm working hard."

"Mr. Marquis, you are joking. Being able to serve you is a blessing for me... Marquis. You should be there for a while. Your Majesty should have already gotten up and come out soon."

"Haha, Master Zheng, you can do it first."

In a side hall of the Ganqing Palace, Zheng Yingchun came to serve Xu Changqing in person, and Xu Changqing came to his senses a little.

The scene I just saw in Jingyang Palace is that until now, Xu Changqing is still a little dazed and can't forget the graceful charm...

Who dares to think that the identity of Queen Zhou, under her arrogant dignity, actually created such a seductive interest...

However, although the charm is beautiful, Xu Changqing is still a little scared when he really calms down.

That woman was tightly pricked and could not be looked at by herself.

At this time, seeing that Zheng Yingchun was about to go out, Zhu Cixuan probably had to wait for a while, Xu Changqing suddenly said, "Master Zheng, stay."

Zheng Yingchun hurriedly turned around, walked quickly to Xu Changqing, and smiled and said, "Mr. Marquis, what else do you have to give..."

Xu Changqing smiled: "Mr. Zheng, what do you think about the Lianghuai Salt Field?"

"this……"

Zheng Yingchun's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing and found that Xu Changqing's smile was meaningful.

Although Zheng Yingchun's methods were average, he was not stupid. He immediately understood Xu Changqing's deep meaning and hurriedly said with a smile: "Marty, I have always served people in the palace. I have entrusted a lot of great blessings. At this point, I really have no great insight. Such matters related to the fate of the country, I really don't dare to speak nonsense..."

Xu Changqing smiled and nodded: "Mr. Zheng, after finishing the work of these days, let's have tea together."

"Oh, come on, Marquis, then the relationship is better."

When Zheng Yingchun left, Xu Changqing slowly closed his eyes.

Although the time to move the capital to Nanjing is not long, it is only less than two years, in this short period of time, the water in the palace is already a bit unfathomable...

However, if we really count it, this is not a bad thing for Xu Changqing.

After all, only the more muddy the water can Xu Changqing better fish.

But we must stay away from the little Zhou Empress Xu Changqing!

This woman is almost the most cunning woman that Xu Changqing has seen since she arrived in the Ming Dynasty. Without being sure, she must keep a distance from her!

...

Soon, Zhu Cilang quickly walked over with Xiao and apologized to Xu Changqing: "Mr. Marquis, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect you to be saved so quickly. It seems that my nap problem has to be changed."

Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if you say that, I have nowhere to live. It's just that I am abrupt."

After a few greetings, Zhu Cilang felt a little relieved when he saw Xu Changqing's attitude was gentle and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Xu Changqing also told Zhu Cixuan the main topic.

Two aspects.

One is the issue of the share of Lianghuai Salt Field.

The second is about rectifying the safety of the Yangtze River waterway.

Xu Changqing had already figured out the share of Lianghuai Salt Field at this time. He still had to have 50% of the court, otherwise he would not be able to block the mouths of everyone. Queen Zhou would have 10% and Xu Changqing himself would have 20%, which was already 80%.

In other words, the limit for Zhu Cilang is only 20%.

But among these 20% of the cases, the Queen of Zhou also involves it, so you must say it carefully.

As for the safety of the Yangtze River waterway, it is Xu Changqing's "back-up move"!

This opportunity at this time can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, almost like crossing the era, it is difficult to have it again.

Xu Changqing and Zhu Guangzhi had a pretty good conversation before, and Xu Changqing also understood some of Zhu Guangzhi's temperament. He is a sensible person and is not sloppy. As long as he gives him similar benefits, he will not do anything randomly.

This time, the time to intervene in the Yangtze River waterway is ripe.

As long as there is

Zhu Guangzhi escorted the model army, and it was difficult for other river bandits on the Yangtze River to pose a direct threat to the model army.

After the Yangtze River is straightened out, the merchant ships in Jiangnan have to cross the river, so naturally Xu Changqing has the final say.

Especially at this time, there is no need to find a name. "How can we ensure the safety of the Yangtze River waterway without cleaning up the safety of the Yangtze River?"

"Two thousand, two thousand two million taels..."

After hearing Xu Changqing say that, although Zhu Cilang is suppressing himself, his whole body is a little bad, his face is flushed and he can't control it at all.

Like Empress Zhou, Zhu Ciying also knew that Lianghuai Salt Farm was profitable, but how did he expect that it would have such huge value?

More than 20 million taels, what does this mean?

Not to mention this time, even when it was his father's emperor, it would have been at least about two years or even three or four years of total taxes for the entire court.

Judging from Xu Changqing's appearance at this time, it was obviously good news for him. How could he not be excited or excited?

Even if Xu Changqing only fought for him so much, it would be a scale of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Here, we will briefly explain the difference between the property between the inner court and the imperial court.

The state dynasty didn't know when it started, and the inner treasury of the inner court and the treasury of the imperial court were separated.

In other words, the emperor needs to maintain expenses. In order to avoid being attacked by censors, he often uses his own private money to avoid being attacked by censors.

If the money from the court is spent, it is begging for food. How could the emperor be relieved by the nature of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty?

Since Zhu Cilang moved his capital to Jiangnan, he has been really afraid of being constrained and afraid, and it is really similar to beggars.

At this time, how could he not be excited or excited to get such good news from Xu Changqing?

"Marty, what should I do about this matter..."

He could no longer hide his excitement, so Zhu Cilang simply stopped hiding it and looked at Xu Changqing respectfully.

Xu Changqing smiled: "Emperor, we have to give half of the imperial court, otherwise we will not be able to block everyone's mouths."

Zhu Cilang nodded in a hurry and agreed.

"The Empress Dowager's side must give 10% of the truth and reason, otherwise it will be unreasonable."

Zhu Cilang nodded again, and was already thinking quickly in his heart. He was so nervous that he could hardly breathe. Then, only 40% of it was left...

Xu Changqing continued: "On my side... I am not saying that I must collect this money, but you have to understand that many times, many things are involuntarily, and I have to make some benefits."

Zhu Cilang was already eating rice like a chicken, and just nodded.

"So, I need 20% of it."

Zhu Cilang hurriedly smiled and said, "Marty, this is what it should be. No, my side..."

Xu Changqing smiled and said, "The emperor, the only one left is 20%. But among these 20%, you also understand that fluctuations will definitely fluctuate. However, I can guarantee that no matter what the outcome is, I must ensure that the treasury will not be less than four million taels of cash silver, and there is no trace of water in the treasury!"

Zhu Cilang finally understood what Xu Changqing meant at this time, and he couldn't help but feel excited, and hurriedly said, "Marty, your loyalty to me, Daming, is really, really..."

Zhu Cilang was so flirting with Xu Changqing.

In fact, he only heard the changes in Xu Changqing's name to him, from "Your Majesty" to "The Emperor", so he knew that Xu Changqing was going to give him great benefits.

I thought I could only make one million taels of silver, but who would have thought that Xu Changqing would give him four million...

How happy is this?

After Xu Changqing said this share, his face became solemn and said earnestly: "Emperor, after the matter is processed, the Minister of the Silver Citizen will send it to you as soon as possible. But you'd better not spend money indiscriminately, buy more industries in Nanjing, and get more royal merchants to make the money transfer. This kind of opportunity may be difficult to have in the future. We must be cautious and prepared for the future."

Zhu Cilang nodded with great concern: "Hou

Master, I have made you worry. I will do my best to do this, strive to avoid leaving the treasury empty, and quickly gain a foothold. As for the Yangtze River defense matter, the Marquis, when the cabinet returns to Beijing, I will discuss with them as soon as possible..."

...

Zhu Cilang's sensibility and knowing how to repay his kindness will undoubtedly make things much smoother. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be executed soon.

But it was precisely because of Zhu Cilang's sensibility that Xu Changqing's heart was gently covered with an indescribable cloud...

Some things, even if they are still in the honeymoon period, once they reach that node, they will eventually be broken and a life-and-death fate will come!

Originally, Xu Changqing didn't want to stay in Kunning Palace tonight, but after all, it was a bit too arrogant.

Even if Queen Zhou’s arrangements were carefully arranged, according to the complexity of the imperial city at this time, it is still possible that the news would be leaked.

This is actually not a very cost-effective thing.

However, on the other hand, if Xu Changqing left at this time, it would probably make Zhu Cilang, who had already relaxed, be more alert and he might have something to do.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Changqing decided to stay in Kunning Palace tonight.

How can it make people feel at ease if Xu Changqing's domineering and domineering behavior be displayed?

Just in time, Xu Changqing also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to accompany Xiao Nannan.

...

A night of wind, frost and snow cannot be beaten...

The next morning, the snow that had fallen for more than a day finally stopped, but the whole world was in a stern and sanitary silver.
To be continued...
