Only one day later, the nobles of Nanjing City were invited by Zhu Jie into the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials.

Although Zhu Jie no longer has military power, the nobles are still extremely jealous of Zhu Jie, this time summoned, who knows what this guy is thinking in his heart? If you really move the murderous intent again, it seems that even if you don't have the right to command the troops of the three towns of Nanjing, it will definitely not take much trouble to clean up your own people, after all, this second pole is Nanjing City with the elite of the Tianwei Army.

"I've seen Zhen Guogong!"

"Zhen Guogong, how are you doing recently?"

The nobles asked one by one.

Zhu Jie nodded and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, don't be polite, please come over today, just to catch up on the old days, please feel free to sit, come and serve tea!" ”

The nobles thanked them one by one, sat down one after another, and had more rules and rules, they were really scared of being killed by Zhu Jie, not to mention anything else, just compared to the title, the people here can't compare to Zhu Jie in front of them, this is the town of Guogong, among the foreign surnames, the prince of the country is the highest title, and I don't know why the emperor looked at him well, and he was named the prince of the country in one breath, which is really speechless.

"Zhen Guogong, I don't know what you are doing when you summoned us to the Ministry this time?"

Xiongwu Marquis Zhou Xing asked in a low voice.

"Xiongwu Hou, have you forgotten the promise made to you by the **** a few times ago?"

Zhu Jie smiled playfully.

Zhou Xing's heart was shocked, and he was stunned: "Zhen Guogong, do you really want to take us to make a lot of money?" ”

"Of course!"

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "I think you have promised that in the future, there will be a family of nobles in Nanjing, as long as you don't go against me in Nanjing, then I will guarantee that you can make money, and it is your unimaginable silver!" ”

More than a dozen people looked at each other and earned unimaginable silver, Zhu Jie was full of confidence when he said this painting, and he was confident in looking at the world!

"Zhen Guogong, are you really so sure?"

Zhu Jie nodded and replied, "Since I said it, I will do it." You should know that now that the new garrison eunuchs, garrison lords, and military officials have taken the throne, with the mentality of these three people, will they allocate a penny of military salaries to the three towns of Nanjing? ”

"Just kidding!"

An Luhou Wu Dequan replied: "I don't know others, I know too much about Ma Shiying, this guy has always been an insatiable master, the rain is wet, don't say that it is not bad, the soldiers of the three towns of Nanjing can finally fall into their hands, I am afraid that it will not exceed forty percent, or even thirty percent......"

"That's it, although I, Zhu Jie, am not a good person, but one thing has never changed, that is, the brothers I have brought must get the benefits they deserve, I can't help the three of them for a while, but I can't let my brothers not be able to eat, in the next three years, or even longer, the lack of military salaries in the three towns of Nanjing will all have to be made up by me out of my own pocket, you say, if I can't earn enough silver, can I ensure their average needs?"

Zhu Jie said with a smile.

Everyone's hearts were suddenly shocked, this Zhu Jie actually wanted to pay his own pocket and pay the soldiers of the three towns of Nanjing! The three towns of Nanjing, even if the number of troops has been reduced now, the number of troops is still around 40,000, and the average military salary for each person is 30 taels of silver, which is 1.2 million taels of silver. At the very least, none of these nobles in Nanjing City can afford it, millions of taels of silver a year, where can they earn it?

"I don't know what Zhen Guogong plans to do? Are you so sure you can earn so much money every year? ”

Wu Dequan asked.

"Overseas Trade!"

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "I want to concentrate on the establishment of a trading house, named Yanhuang Trading Company, specifically to operate the affairs of overseas trade, you should all have your own industry in overseas trade, you should be aware of the huge profits of overseas trade, as long as we can successfully ship the goods out and return safely, then we are destined to make a fortune......

Overseas Trade!

Everyone knows that this is a huge profit, when Zhu Jie made a move to reorganize the treasure shipyard, every one of them objected, why, once this overseas trade is controlled by the imperial court again, then all the industrial merchants who rely on overseas trade are thinking about making money, and all the benefits have to go to the imperial court! Unexpectedly, Zhu Jie's reorganization of the Bao Shipyard was not to reorganize the tributary trade, but to prepare for the establishment of a huge firm!

"Zhen Guogong, as you said, each of us has its own overseas trade industry, and we have a lot of income every year, even if we don't have you with us, we can have a lot of silver in our accounts......"

Wu Dequan hesitated.

Zhu Jie sneered: "A lot of silver in the account? A lot of money has been earned by Zheng Zhilong, who controls the South Seas, and the foreigners who control the West, right? Don't think I don't know, Zheng Zhilong only relies on the control of the maritime force in the South Seas, and there will be tens of millions of taels of silver every year, what you earn is just a little scraps, this is still a huge profit from overseas trade, otherwise, you can't even earn this bit of silver, am I right? ”

More than a dozen nobles glanced at each other, and only said that the nobles of Nanjing, just pay Zheng Zhilong a year for the protection of the waterway, which is definitely not less than two or three million taels of silver, which is more than the silver they earn! However, there is no way, who can help this Zheng Zhilong? His strength at sea is too huge, compared to the tributary fleet under the command of the Three Treasure Eunuchs back then! If you want to earn this money, you have to pay money to others obediently, otherwise, I am afraid that if you don't reach Nanyang, the fleet will be hijacked by others, and you will lose all your money!

"Zhen Guogong, what do you mean ......"

Wu Xing asked in a deep voice.

Zhu Jie replied: "It's very simple, I not only want to build a huge fleet, but also to build a huge fleet, from now on, no longer threatened and persecuted by Zheng Zhilong, you can imagine that if we break free from Zheng Zhilong's control, and even break the control of Western countries over the West in the future, at that time, how much silver will flow into our pockets?" You know, now the net profit of the Ming Dynasty's annual overseas trade alone has exceeded 30,000,000 taels of silver, and if we break the monopoly between Zheng Zhilong and Western powers, our profits can even double! You say, "Will this money be able to fatten you?" ”

A trade surplus of 60 million taels of silver per year! Even if the nobles of each family can only pocket one-tenth of it, it is still a profit of six million taels, which is definitely a huge wealth, so huge that it is dizzying!
