Prince of Chaos

Chapter 262 Gossip is flying all over the sky

The news that Zhu Changluo asked Wei Zhongxian to spread is actually even Zhu Changluo himself is not sure whether it is true or not. Anyway, as long as this news spreads from the outside world, it will definitely be Zhu Changluo who will benefit in the end.

Therefore, seeing that the cement formula is about to be announced and market-oriented management competition is underway, the news will undoubtedly be a boost to the heart!

After Wei Zhongxian got Zhu Changluo's permission, he immediately arranged for people to spread such news in the streets and alleys of Beijing.

According to gossip, on the Gobi Desert outside the Helan Mountains outside the town of Ningxia, the deliverers of Xishanhuangzhuang used to find silver, iron ore, coal mines and other minerals there, and these mineral reserves are quite rich.

Among them, the reserves of silver mines exceed the total amount of silver in Daming, and the reserves of iron ore are enough for Daming to use for hundreds of years, and the coal mines there are all open-pit high-quality coal mines, which can be directly ignited with just a grab. It is an excellent fuel for smelting silver and iron.

As soon as this news came out, all kinds of people, big and small, in the capital were discussing this issue for a while, and many people spread the news more and more exaggeratedly.

It seems that the Gobi outside Ningxia Town has become a golden nest, as long as you go there and pick up two stones, you can make a fortune.

For a while, everyone had an unprecedented yearning and imagination for Ningxia Town, thinking how great it would be if they could be in Ningxia Town, what a great opportunity to make a fortune.

After passing this message, it's not over yet.

Then Xishan Huangzhuang announced that for the safety of Ningxia Town and the stability of the Nine Borders, Xishan Huangzhuang planned to join hands with the Ministry of Industry to fund the construction of a one-foot-wide cement expressway leading directly to Ningxia Town.

For this reason, Shen Sixiao also personally confirmed the news on the platform.

Now people who didn't believe that there were mines in Ningxia Town began to believe it.

After all, they all know that the Ministry of Industry is the most inconspicuous yamen among the six ministries, and the title of Minister of the Ministry of Industry is sometimes like a bad street for ministers with strong powers such as the Governor of Rivers and the Governor of Water Transport.

Now, this poor yamen is starting to get involved in building roads to Ningxia Town. No one will believe anyone who says there is no mine there.

Now the enthusiasm in the entire capital was ignited, and everyone was happily discussing the happy moment of going to Ningxia Town to mine and make a fortune in the future.

Then, in the name of Emperor Wanli, Zhu Changluo announced the mining methods for minerals outside the town of Ningxia.

Because, outside the town of Ningxia belongs to the vast Gobi grassland, and the imperial court's control over there is actually very weak.Therefore, the news released this time is that anyone who intends to collect minerals outside Ningxia Town must obey the law enforcement management of the Niutougou Gold Mine, and must not act without permission, causing unnecessary casualties.

However, as soon as this news came out, the big families who were still sitting on Diaoyutai were also shaken. If the emperor who was a money fan made such a solemn decree to say this, it means that the mines over there really have mines. Otherwise, how could the Niutougou Gold Mine be under unified management?

The Niutougou Gold Mine has long been a secret among the dignitaries in the capital. Everyone knows that Emperor Wanli arranged for a group of people to mine there thousands of miles away, and they have impeached it several times.What do you say that the emperor and the people are fighting for profit?

It's a pity that Emperor Wanli still didn't answer, and this matter was still done by Xishan Huangzhuang, so the impeachers were also very cautious and didn't say anything nonsense.For fear of accidentally hurting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whom they worked so hard to win.

Just when everyone was about to gear up for a fight.

There was another news from Xishan Huangzhuang and the Ministry of Industry.

The news that came out this time is that the production capacity of the cement workshop in Xishan Huangzhuang is not enough. If all of it is used for the cement expressway leading directly to Ningxia Town, it may take more than five years to pave the road.

In this regard, Xishan Huangzhuang and the Ministry of Industry are very dissatisfied.

Therefore, after discussions between Xishan Huangzhuang and the Ministry of Industry, Xishan Huangzhuang felt that the cement formula should be published in the form of patent authorization, so that powerful families can participate and complete a major breakthrough in cement production!
After several waves of such operations, all the nobles and wealthy families became excited.They have long been envious of the cement of Xishan Huangzhuang, but because of the status of the crown prince, they have never been able to get their hands on it.

However, it is different now, and now Xishan Huangzhuang has given it a chance.

Therefore, a group of people excitedly ran to Xishan Huangzhuang and the Ministry of Industry to inquire about the news.

For a while, the government office of the Ministry of Industry, which used to be crowded in front of the door, has now become a popular office with a lot of people like the Ministry of Officials.

After everyone came in, they all greeted the officials of the Ministry of Industry with smiles on their faces.

This suddenly flattered the officials of the Ministry of Industry. They have never encountered such a situation in the work of the Ministry of Industry for so many years.

When they saw the smiling faces of the dignitaries who came to consult, they immediately felt elated.

The official accent that I didn't know how to speak before, now I can learn it without a teacher.It can be seen that power is really a very wonderful magic.

"Master Liu, what is the charter drawn up by the Ministry of Industry and Xishan Huangzhuang?"

A well-known wealthy businessman in the capital, his name is Zhu Dayou.Although his surname is Zhu, he has nothing to do with the royal family.Zhu Dayou was looking at an official from the Ministry of Industry wearing a green robe with eight ranks of official rank and asking questions with a smile all over his face.

Liu Yunsong looked at this wealthy businessman who usually looked like a cloud, and he really felt as if he was stepping in the fog.Everything is so dreamy.

Liu Yunsong said in an official tone: "The specific regulations haven't come out yet, so you can ask again in two days."

Zhu Dayou opened his small eyes, and then quietly stuffed a 100 tael bank note over.

"Master Liu, how can you? You are the noble master of the Ministry of Industry, and you are the most proficient in the news in the Ministry of Industry. If you give pointers to the villain, the villain will be inexhaustible."

When Liu Yunsong saw this 100 tael silver note, his eyes almost lit up.These 100 taels are worth his salary for nearly three years.

Moreover, low-ranking, low-power sesame-like Beijing officials like them often have to be owed wages by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and their lives are quite tight.All of them rely on the support of their families to barely survive.

It can be seen how powerful this 100 taels of silver is!

Liu Yunsong took the bank note with a trembling hand, and said with a flushed face: "I can see that Zhu Yuanwai is also a real person, so I will show you the way."

Zhu Dayou excitedly said: "My lord, please tell me."

Liu Yunsong silently took out a booklet from the cabinet under him, and said in a low voice: "This is the preliminary plan formulated by the Ministry of Industry and Xishan Huangzhuang. This is an expert. You should read it first. Look at your home. What places are eligible."

Zhu Dayou immediately caught the booklet like a treasure, put it close to his body, and gave Liu Yunsong a big gift.

"My villain, thank you, Master Liu. Your kindness is the villain's reborn parents."

Liu Yunsong was very useful. He didn't know how much money he had collected during this time, but those were all in taels and eights, like sending beggars.That's why Zhu Dayou is sensible today, and he paid 100 taels when he came up!

Now Liu Yunsong finally found the fun of being an official.

Actually, accepting bribes openly and secretly like Liu Yunsong is already a rare phenomenon in Daming's officialdom today.

Even if they are as tall as the cabinet elders, they will accept the flattery of the officials below. Not only are they not ashamed of this, but they also think it is a matter of course.

Zhu Changluo also understands this phenomenon, and he instinctively wants to stop it, but he is not in his position now, and there is no one who can replace him, so now Zhu Changluo can only do his best to ensure the purity of Xishan Huangzhuang.

In Xishan Huangzhuang, if there are managers who take bribes so blatantly, Zhu Changluo usually kills them directly. After all, Zhu Changluo thinks that the money he gives is much more than the salary given by the imperial court. More than enough.
