It was supposed to be a very successful cabinet dinner, which was very happy and smooth in the early stage, but in the end, because of a question that Feng Ziying "inadvertently" raised, it caused countless people to reverie, and it ended in a subtle atmosphere. Baidu search MM, more good free reading.

On the whole, of course, the basic purpose was achieved.

The concession fee is 800,000 taels, and the income of Dongfan Salt can reach 1 million taels that year, and there are still 1 million taels in place within a few years, plus the amount and term of the open sea bonds that have not yet been formally determined, but everyone can estimate that whether it is a three-year bond or a five-year bond or a ten-year bond, the proceeds from the sale of 3 million taels of bonds will be available within this year, or even higher.

This means that this year, that is, in the seventh year of Yonglong, the income of the Great Zhou court can increase by an additional 4.8 million taels, which accounts for about a quarter of the annual financial revenue of the entire Great Zhou court.

This income can be said to have directly avoided the bankruptcy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, otherwise the imperial court would only be able to raise funds in a very disadvantageous way such as donations, and that way of drinking to quench thirst was also the most opposed and feared by Emperor Yonglong.

Now it's all out of the way.

Although 4.8 million taels of silver is not enough to completely solve the financial dilemma of the Great Zhou court, at least the rope around the neck can be loosened a little, and the urgently needed food and salary in Western Xinjiang and Liaodong can be basically satisfied, and the silver urgently needed for dredging the Yellow River and Caoyun can also be solved, but the needs of Denglai and Xuanda can only be partially solved.

There is no silver village counted here.

The matter of Yinzhuang was only mentioned at the end, and most people were not very interested, even including Emperor Yonglong, who was still somewhat interested, but now his mind was completely attracted by the first few things.

But in Feng Ziying's view, this silver village is the most critical and core link, such a financial institution with the nature of "red hat" half-official and half-business, once it grows and grows, its influence cannot be calculated, but now these bureaucrats are far from realizing this.

Under Feng Ziying's proposal, including the concession money, the income from the opening of the sea bonds, and the income from Dongfan Salt, will first be directly transferred to the first established Haitong Yinzhuang Yangzhou General Cabinet, and then will be transferred to the Household Treasury through the Haitong Yinzhuang Jingshi Cabinet within the specified time.

However, Zheng Jizhi has made it clear in the court that he is willing to support the development of Haitong Yinzhuang to a certain extent, but in view of the current emptiness of the household bank, in order to stabilize the situation in the DPRK and China, he needs to deposit most of the silver taels in the household bank, and retain no more than two percent of the silver taels in Haitong Yinzhuang, and this is also under the premise that Haitong Yinzhuang must meet the needs of the household bank on time at any time.

Feng Ziying did not argue with Zheng Jizhi on this issue, he understood Zheng Jizhi's difficulties, but he was not ready to back down, Sancheng retained Haitong Yinzhuang is the bottom line, and he spent so much effort that he couldn't even get this little benefit, so he couldn't say it.

If 1.5 million taels can be retained in Haitong Yinzhuang, plus Feng Ziying's expected fundraising of 1 million taels as share capital, as well as some Jiangnan businessmen who promise to be in Haitong Yinzhuang, Feng Ziying estimates that Haitong Yinzhuang will have about 3 million taels of available funds in the early stage of opening, and how to lend money to support the development of some industries that he is optimistic about, and quickly achieve profitability is an imminent big problem.

For several cabinet elders, Qi Yongtai and Feng Ziying's sudden "whimsical ideas" only aroused some vigilance, but they did not affect the relatively harmonious situation of the current cabinet.

After all, there are too many troubles in front of Da Zhou, and it is undoubtedly inappropriate to consider how to reform the evaluation of officials.

Even Qi Yongtai himself admits this.

He just wanted to remind the two first assistants and second assistants that they should have a forward-looking awareness in this regard, and not blindly delay and block.

As soon as he stepped out of the Prime Minister's office, Qi Yongtai frowned and motioned for Feng Ziying to follow, but before he could do so, he saw that the gray-shirted man under the big locust tree on the edge of the road next to him had already greeted him, "Lord Feng." ”

Qi Yongtai and Feng Ziying both frowned.

Qi Yongtai didn't know him, but Feng Ziying did, the gray-shirted man obviously didn't expect Qi Yongtai and Feng Ziying to come out at the same time, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly bowed and saluted, "The little one has seen Qi Ge Lao." ”

Qi Yongtai glanced at it, and didn't bother to ask, thinking that it was not appropriate to talk to Feng Ziying more now, he nodded, "Ziying, come down for the teacher to find time to talk to you." ”

Feng Ziying hurriedly saluted and sent Qi Yongtai away in a sedan chair.

This is the long history of the Zhongshun Palace, Feng Ziying has seen one or two faces, and knows that he is the confidant of the Zhongshun King.

"Lord Zhou, what are you doing here?"

"Lord Feng, you've waited for me." Zhou Wei complained as soon as he came up, looking very close, "From the moment you entered the palace, the prince got the news, and sent the villain to guard the Zuoshun Gate, but when they came out, they were all a few pavilion elders, and the villain didn't dare to stop the sedan chair, so he could only watch the adults and a few pavilion elders come here again Wenyuan Pavilion, and the prince issued a death order, asking the villain to invite you back today, no matter what time it ,......."

Feng Ziying didn't expect King Zhongshun to be so anxious, and it is estimated that he also got the news from all sides, and he was impatient to get started.

"Why should the prince be in such a hurry? I'll go to the prince's mansion and make it clear. Feng Ziying smiled, "Lord Zhou has worked hard. ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, as long as I can invite Lord Feng back to report to the prince." Zhou Wei accompanied the smiling face, "Then Lord Feng, let's go?" ”

"Let's go." Feng Ziying shook her head, and quipped: "I knew that I would go to the prince's mansion to catch a lunch, this prime minister's lunchtime is really too ordinary, and the wine is even worse, and I don't know how a few pavilion elders can stand it,......"

Before he walked out of the alley between the Prime Minister's Office, he saw that the blind attendant had already blocked the alley: "At the mouth of Your Majesty, please enter the palace immediately." ”

Zhou Wei was dumbfounded, and Feng Ziying was also a little stunned, how long have we seen each other, and they have to be summoned separately?

Zhou Wei was stupid, but where did he dare to compete with the emperor's inner servants, he could only flash to the side.

"Lord Zhou, there is no need to do this, I estimate that the emperor will simply ask a few questions, and it won't take much time, so it is better for Lord Zhou to go back to the palace first,......"

Before Feng Ziying finished speaking, Zhou Wei hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, the villain is waiting for the adult here, the things that the prince explained have not been done, and the villain does not dare to go back." ”

Feng Ziying also knew that King Zhongshun was a somewhat obedient character, with great respect for respectful people, but extremely strict and violent towards ordinary people, a typical mixed personality, he was not embarrassed by the other party, explained a few sentences to Baoxiang, nodded and followed the servant.

Or the East Study.

Feng Ziying estimated that the most hated thing about herself was that she was able to enter and leave the palace frequently in just a few years, and was summoned by Emperor Yonglong alone.

To say that Emperor Yonglong really likes to take care of foreign ministers alone, but they are basically important officials above the three grades of the six departments, and the local officials outside, even if they are political envoys from various provinces and probationary envoys, they rarely get the opportunity to be summoned alone, but Feng Ziying is simply in and out of the east study at will.

This can't help but make people feel uneasy.

Of course, there are many people who are saying that Feng Ziying caught up with this most important thing for the court and the emperor to bring up, and now it is time for him to be popular, and after this period of time, he will still be beaten back to his original form.

To be honest, Feng Ziying really hopes that it won't attract so much attention, and really hopes that this trend can pass as soon as possible, which is also why he tried to give some credit and limelight to Guan Yingzhen, Lian Guoji, Fan Jingwen and a few others, he is so young, too ostentatious, and it is really risky.

"I'm very curious, Feng Qing was able to open up the situation in such a short time, and he also brought me an unexpected surprise in Dongfan Salt, so I don't know how to be happy." Emperor Yonglong's mouth had a pleasant smile on his lips, and his eyes were more inquiring.

"The emperor has a good reputation, and the strategy of opening the sea is some of the ideas of Weichen, but it is perfected in Lord Chai, and later the cabinet princes are brewing and formed, and the officials are specifically formulated, of course, Weichen does not deny that he has some credit in it, and the emperor's encouragement and encouragement are also the main reasons why Weichen works hard for it."

Feng Ziying's face was warm, neither humble nor arrogant, neither denying her own merits, but also sincerely mentioning the merits of some other people.

"Wechen is more about doing some execution-level affairs, well, now the specific implementation of Wechen has also been entrusted to Master Lian and Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng, Wu Fu and several students who are watching politics, and they are doing a great job now."

Even in front of Emperor Yonglong, mentioning it can have an unexpected effect, and practicing state affairs may not be necessary, but people like Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng and Wu Fu are too important.

"The performance of the cabinet princes, Chai Ke and Guan Yingzhen is as I expected, but Feng Qing's performance is too amazing to be amazing, well, I have also heard about the practice of state affairs and your other classmates, and I will soon become familiar with it, Qi Qing and Guan Qing have brought Qingtan Academy to a peak, I don't know what about this subject in the eighth year of Yonglong?"

Emperor Yonglong did not rush to ask what he wanted to get, but asked about the current situation of Qingtan Academy.

"I will live up to the emperor's expectations." Feng Ziying affirmed, "Many outstanding people in the same department of Weichen back then either did not pass the autumn season, or passed the autumn period but did not pass the spring period, and many of them were just unlucky, and in the past two years, because the fame of the academy has increased greatly, there are many junyan from all over the world to enter, so Weichen can assert that the Mingke Qingtan Academy will shine." ”

Emperor Yonglong nodded slightly, I have to say that the disciples of the five years of Yonglong in Qingtan Academy are really too good, and in only two or three years, they have already had some up-and-coming atmosphere in the court, and in the past, they may not be able to perform like this in ten years.
