Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zheng Hongkui looked at the emperor eagerly.

Eyes full of anticipation!

Hahahaha~!

Zhu Youjian was about to laugh out loud.

He went to such great lengths just to pry away Ming Dynasty's banknotes!

Once the wealthy Zheng family takes a fancy to this...

It's like a few retail investors wanted to short Ma Ma, but Ma Ma accidentally said that he would also join in.

This is a giant coming from heaven to help!

With the participation of the Zheng family, it is not certain that he will short-change the wealthy gentry!

How do the tycoons control the people?

It’s not just money!

Just dig out their savings...

Even if I dig out half of it and have money in my hand, am I still afraid of those wealthy gentry?

As the old saying goes - having copper in your hands makes your waist twice as strong!

Zhu Youjian thought about it carefully. A silver dollar weighed seven coins, and was doped with about [-]% copper, tin and other impurities.

In other words, one silver dollar, if labor is not counted, is five silver dollars!

Even if it's one to one or two, this is a huge profit of 100% of the gross profit!

His heart was almost bursting with joy, but Zhu Youjian's face was full of embarrassment.

His lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to refuse.

At this scene, Zheng Hongkui's palms were covered in nervous sweat.

He hastily said:

"Don't worry, your majesty. I also know that the production of silver coins is difficult. I dare not ask your majesty to exchange one or two for one. I am willing to add [-]% more!"

Zhu Youjian snickered:

This is a 260% exchange ratio!

Zhu Youjian waved his hands hurriedly, with a confused look on his face:

"It's not that I don't want to help the Qing family fulfill this wish.

But, it is too difficult to produce silver coins!

A skilled craftsman can only make three pieces a day.

Last time, I also asked the craftsmen to carve it in front of you.

As you have seen, it takes a skilled craftsman two hours to carve a silver dollar.

And these craftsmen are all refugees with their families. Everyone has a big family, and they just rely on the little wages to survive! "

Zheng Hongkui gritted his teeth.

Isn’t it just to add money?

That’s all easy to handle!

As long as it doesn't exceed two and a half, you will still make a huge profit!

He said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Zheng family is certainly not a black-hearted person. I am willing to exchange the silver coins at a ratio of one to two eight cents. Please give me your permission!"

Li Laiheng's eyes almost popped out of his head!

What the hell!

He is a frequent visitor to Wangfuzhou Workshop.

He knew exactly how big the output of the emperor's silver dollar workshops was!

How could a machine produce more than three thousand silver dollars?

If it works day and night, it can produce at least [-] silver coins!

According to Zheng Hongkui's price, one machine, one melting furnace, and three operating masters can bring His Majesty a net income of more than 1 taels per day!

What the hell!

Li Laiheng wished he could rob Wang Fuzhou!

Your Majesty, please agree! ~

Li Laiheng couldn't wait to help the emperor agree immediately!

However, Zhu Youjian's face was full of embarrassment:

"Zheng Qing, you also know that I am building a palace and a new capital.

On the way here, you also saw that there are newly started construction sites everywhere in this barren mountain.

I……

well! "

Zhu Youjian sighed.

"Your Majesty, I know your Majesty's difficulties!"

Seeing that things had turned around, Zheng Hongkui hurriedly said:

“Your Majesty, don’t worry, the Zheng family are not ungrateful people.

Each of these silver coins was exchanged by me at the price of two taels of silver!

I hope your majesty will grant it! "

Zheng Hongkui's breathing became rapid.

At a price of two taels, he could take it to Jiangnan and still have a profit margin of five yuan.

If I get Nanyang, I'm afraid I can earn back at least three times the amount of money!

This deal must be facilitated!

Zheng Hongkui had already made up his mind - even if he exchanged it for two and a half coins, he would make the emperor agree!

"Ugh!"

Zhu Youjian sighed.

The emperor sighed, and Zheng Hongkui's heart almost clenched.

Even Zheng Hongkui, who was used to the scene, began to pray in his heart:

‘Promise quickly, promise now! ’

Zhu Youjian sighed for a while:

"That's all, that's all, Qing family, you helped me solve the food problem.

I am not a ungrateful person, so be it! "

Zheng Hongkui was overjoyed.

He hurriedly left the table again, and kowtowed to the emperor several times with a bang.

This mountain of profit is nothing short of trivial.

The key is that my son has hope of competing for that position!

The emperor's words were exchanged for the entire Zheng family.

Zheng Hongkui couldn't help but be excited!

Zhu Youjian said:

"I agreed, I agreed, but let's talk ugly first.

It is very difficult to produce these silver coins, but the construction of the new capital is the top priority.

Now that Donglu is being dragged to Hebei by Li Zicheng, I can still spare my hand to make these silver coins.

Once the war gets tense, I will take away those craftsmen! "

"It's nature, it's nature!"

Zheng Hongkui nodded repeatedly, he was full of pride and said directly:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will first send 500 million in cash, and then immediately ask my family to bring 2000 million in cash!"

The emperor's concerns are legitimate.

It’s better for you to take advantage of this opportunity and make a lot of money first!

Twenty-five million in cash is the most money Zheng Hongkui can mobilize.

Even, for this, he had to spend a sum of gold.

However, as long as the silver coins are obtained and taken to Nanyang, I can earn at least almost 5000 million taels of silver!

Zheng Hongkui made up his mind to invest every penny he earned immediately.

It would be best to go to Nanyang twice before the Tatars send troops!

After all, only by mastering hundreds of millions of dollars can it be possible to defeat the eldest brother and promote his son as the head of the Zheng family!

"Oh, that's all!"

Zhu Youjian was already extremely greedy, but his face was filled with bitterness:

"Since you said so, I should fulfill the wishes of the Qing family!"

Zhu Youjian winked at Li Laiheng and said:

"You collect the silver coins that I plan to reward the courtiers first and give them to Zheng Qing."

Li Laiheng suppressed his laughter, he didn't even know how he got out of Fengtian Palace.

But Zheng Hongkui looked at the emperor eagerly, listening carefully to how much cash the emperor could raise.

Zhu Youjian smiled bitterly and said:

"I still have more than 200 million silver dollars on hand, which I plan to reward to soldiers and courtiers.

Since you, the Qing family, have mentioned this, I will give it to you first! "

Zheng Hongkui left with great gratitude.

He seemed to see the head of the Zheng family waving to his son.

Zheng Hongkui would not dare to replace his eldest brother Zheng Zhilong.

The fact that the Zheng family is what it is today is mostly due to the eldest brother.

However, competing for the position of the next generation of family head is something that the entire Zheng family wants to see.

……

Inside Fengtian Temple.

After Zheng Hongkui walked away, Li Laiheng asked:

"Your Majesty, I don't understand."
