Start Summoning West Factory Flower

Chapter 116

Open the call page.

Ten characters appeared in front of Zheng Ming again.

Zheng Ming didn't bother to look at it, and chose to summon directly.

After a while, the summoning result came out.

Zheng Ming looked at the images of the characters on the system page, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"This is interesting, Yuhuatian has met his opponent."

Summoner: Cao Zhengchun.

Cultivation: mid-stage master

The exercises practiced: Tiangang Tongzi Gong, Wanchuan Returning to the Sea, Vajra Body Protection.

Potential: Three stars.

Loyalty: 80
Implanted identity: Eunuch sweeping the clothes bureau of the Dali Palace.

"When Governor Cao is here, there will be no shortage of East Factory, ha ha."

"You actually work as a sweeping eunuch in the palace! This is the palace version of a sweeping monk!!" Zheng Ming said in surprise.

According to the urine nature implanted in the identity of the system, Governor Cao must be a sweeping eunuch that no one pays attention to now.

"Should I be transferred back?" Zheng Ming pinched his chin and thought.

It would be a waste for such a master to sweep the floor in the palace, but it might be useful someday.After all, the most critical battlefield in the battle for the throne is in that palace.

"Forget it, let's put it in the palace first."

……

The snow is falling, the wind is majestic, the snow in the mountains is cold, and the clouds are blowing and freezing.

The winter in Shanhai County is really cold.

Zheng Ming hid in the study, hugging the stove.

Song Baobao and Xiao Fuzi were waiting on the sidelines.

"Your Highness, this is the brocade cloak sent by Zhao Nanguo, would you like to try it?" Song Baobao asked while holding a bright yellow garment in both hands.

"Try it!" Zheng Ming got up and said.

The New Year's Eve is approaching, it's time to change into new clothes.

Song Baobao smiled happily and stepped forward to help Zheng Ming put it on.

Yunjin is a special product of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Its patterns are as magnificent as clouds, its colors are bright and brilliant, and it is as beautiful as clouds in the sky.

And the golden embroidered cloud pattern cloak sent by Zhao Nanguo is even more precious among the treasures.

"Your Highness, there is also this purple gold crown inlaid with treasures, which was sent by Song Yuanchao."

Just after putting on the cloak, Baby Song took out a small hair crown and put it on for Zheng Ming.

"And these are silver ornaments and beautiful jade from Li Chuan!" Xiao Fuzi brought a wooden tray to Zheng Ming, and there were many jade pendants and silver ornaments on it.

Zheng Ming saw the corners of these mouths twitching slightly.

What is this for?

Pay tribute?
Zhao Nanguo, Song Yuanchao, and Li Chuan were responsible for the maritime trade of the three dynasties of Dazhou, Dajin, and Dongying respectively. These three guys probably took advantage of the opportunity of the New Year to give him good things.

But he couldn't refuse the kindness of his subordinates, so he chose a jade pendant from the wooden tray and hung it around his waist.

Zheng Ming came to the bronze mirror and took a look, um, he is very handsome, that's probably what Pianpian is like.

Xiao Fuzi said softly: "Your Highness, the three of them are waiting in the wing!"

"Okay, let them come in." Zheng Ming said.

Then Xiao Fuzi led Zhao Nanguo and the others into the study.

"Meet Your Highness!" The three bowed.

Zheng Ming said: "No, let's all sit down."

The three sat respectfully on the chairs next to them.

Xiao Fuzi took the account book from the three of them and handed it to Zheng Ming.

Zheng Ming flipped through it, and generally speaking, Haimao really made a lot of money this year.

Among them, the Dongpu fleet is the most, and the Dongpu fleet led by Li Chuan alone earned more than 120 million taels of silver this year.

But the Great Zhou was worse, earning more than 80 taels, not because the Great Zhou Dynasty was not good, but because the sea trade with the Great Zhou Dynasty started later.However, in terms of potential, the Great Zhou Dynasty is bigger than the Dongying Dynasty, and it is estimated that it will surpass the Dongying Dynasty next year.

As for the Dajin Dynasty, which only earned 200,000 taels, without the benefit of salt, and with the fact that it was the latest start, it is not bad that Song Yuanchao can earn so much this year.

"That's right, thank you for your hard work." Zheng Ming said with a smile.

"Don't dare, it is my honor to serve His Highness." The three said modestly.

Zheng Ming thought for a while, and said, "Little Fuzi, pass on this king's order to give the three of them an additional level of salary, and also reward the grand master with a piece of exercise."

Maritime trade is really hard work. Not only do you have to be stationed in a foreign country, but you also have to float in the sea frequently.

The salary of the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce is linked to the salaries of the county government officials, and there are many higher grades. This is specially customized by Zheng Ming for the officials and the shopkeepers of the Chamber of Commerce, in order to increase their wages in the future.

The salaries of the three of Li Chuan are not low, after all, they are third-rank warriors, and if one level of salary is added, they are only one grade lower than Xin Qiji.

But for the three of them, money is just a trivial matter, and the grand master's practice is the greatest reward.

Zheng Ming didn't care about the Grandmaster's exercises, but to warriors like them, nothing was more precious than a Grandmaster's exercises.

In the past, Zheng Ming only had two master exercises of Ming Yugong and Sunflower Collection, so it was not easy to reward them generously. Now that Zheng Ming has obtained five master exercises from Tianlian Sect, he will not be stingy anymore.

In fact, the master's skills are just like that, no matter how good the skills are, it depends on the person, if the aptitude is not enough, no matter how good the skills are, it is useless.

Compared with martial arts, Potential Pill is the most precious treasure in Zheng Ming's hands.

Lian Xing's Mingyu Kung Fu, Dongfang Bubai's Sunflower Collection, Ximen Chuuxue's Kendo, and Cao Zhengchun's Tiangang Boy Kung Fu are all much stronger than ordinary grandmaster kung fu.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." The three said excitedly.

Zheng Ming waved his hand, signaling them to back off.

The three of them had just left when Xin Qiji came again.

"Your Highness, this is the account book of the county government this year."

It's the end of the year, and the major institutions and yamen in Shanhai County will inevitably have to check.

Zheng Ming took the account book and browsed it, then shook his head helplessly.

The county government lost more than 100 million this year.

But this is also normal. Road construction, new city construction, and various subsidies all require a lot of money.

However, Shanhai County has very little tax revenue, not to mention agricultural tax. With so much farming, it only collects tens of thousands of taels of tax a year.

In contrast, the commercial tax that has just been implemented for a few months this year is quite a lot.It actually reached 300,000 taels, which is a good start.

Not only the county government, Zheng Ming estimated that the Audit Office would spend more money, but also the army, sects, and civil and martial arts colleges, all of which needed to invest a lot of money.

There are many places to spend money and many places to make money.

Shanhai Chamber of Commerce, Yihetang, Shipyard, Mint, etc., can make a lot of money.

Zheng Ming made a general estimate in his mind. Shanhai County should have a surplus this year, but not too much, probably around a million taels.

"Not bad, much better than I expected." Zheng Ming laughed.

Xin Qiji said with a bitter smile: "It means that there is Shanhai Chamber of Commerce's support, otherwise the county government would have no rice to cook."

Zheng Ming shook his head and said, "The Shanhai Chamber of Commerce originally served Shanhai County. Without Shanhai County, where would the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce come from?"

"The money spent this year is mainly on road repairs and the construction of new towns. Now that the roads have been built and the new town is almost completed, the books will look much better next year."

Xin Qiji looked at him and said, "Your Highness, the cost of popularizing the school next year is estimated to be quite large."

Zheng Ming patted his forehead and forgot about it.

He had already planned to popularize education before. He wanted to build a school in every village in Shanhai County. First, he would receive six years of compulsory education, and then he would choose the best to enter the civil and military college in the county.

Well, it seems that we will continue to spend money in the future.
