Prince of Chaos

Chapter 57 Greed
Xishan Huangzhuang.

Sun Siam entered the room cursing.

"Chengguo Gongfu and Dingguogongfu are really deceiving people too much! The two broken coal mines actually cost 5 taels of silver. Are they stealing money? Don't make it into our family, or our family will definitely make them look good."

Zhu Changluo heard Sun Siam's voice.Zhu Changluo came out of the warm room in the back room, and he comforted Sun Xian: "Eunuch Sun, don't be so angry, the fire will hurt you."

When Sun Xian saw Zhu Changluo coming out, he quickly put away his temper, and then pretended to slap himself on the face, "Master, forgive me, it's the slave who made a slip of the tongue and offended the master."

Zhu Changluo quickly stepped forward and grabbed Sun Xian, "Eunuch Sun, don't do this, it's not your father-in-law's fault. Eunuch helped Chang Luo win these coal mines this time, and it's too late for Chang Luo to thank you."

Sun Xian smiled and said, "It's all for the master."

Zhu Changluo pulled Sun Xian to sit down, then winked at Wang An, and Wang An immediately took out a 5000 tael silver ticket from his cuff and gave it to Sun Xian.

As soon as Sun Xian saw the banknote, his eyes narrowed with a smile, "The servant has done all the errands like this, the slave can't get the money."

Zhu Changluo said: "What is the father-in-law talking about? You deserve it. This coal mine is very important to Chang Luo. The father-in-law was able to take them all down in such a short time. It was too late for Chang Luo to thank you. The 5000 taels is also a little Feel free to accept it, Eunuch.”

Sun Xian accepted the bank note with a smile.The more he looks at Zhu Changluo now, the more pleasing to his eyes, such a sensible master is really hard to come by.

Sun Xian said: "The servant will accept it."

Zhu Changluo said: "Elder-in-law, keep it. In the future, Chang Luo will have to rely on Eunuch a lot."

Sun Xian said: "It's a slave's blessing to do business for the master. From now on, the master will just follow whatever orders he has. The slave will definitely do his best to serve the master at all costs."

Zhu Changluo said: "Then Chang Luo is not impolite. Chang Luo heard that recently the officials in Beijing have asked the father to establish the country as soon as possible. Chang Luo wants to know which officials are involved now? What are the cabinet and the six ministries now? Happening?"

Sun Xian said: "Speaking of this matter, the slave still wants to congratulate the master. Now all the officials plan to go to the emperor and let the emperor appoint the master as the crown prince. Looking at the situation, the master should be appointed by the emperor soon. .”

Zhu Changluo smiled slightly, and then continued to ask: "Do the elders of the cabinet and the Sixth Ministry plan to go to school?"

Sun Xian thought for a while and said, "Shangshu Shen Li of the Ministry of Rites seems to have a plan to go to school, and there is no other movement for the time being."

Hearing this, Zhu Changluo was a little relieved. There was only one Minister of Rites, which was fine.It shows that the current trend has not yet become a general trend.As long as there is no general trend, there is still a chance for all of this.

Then Zhu Changluo changed the topic again, "Father-in-law, Chang Luo is going to do another business, I wonder if the father-in-law is interested?"

When Sun Xian heard this, his eyes couldn't help but shine. He likes to do business with Zhu Changluo now.Doing business with Zhu Changluo is a steady profit.Where does Sun Xian have a reason to refute?

Sun Xian said: "Master, please tell me, even if it is going up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, the servant will not hesitate."

Zhu Changluo said: "My father-in-law is serious." Then Zhu Changluo began to say: "I plan to recruit people from Xishan to work in the coal mines, but such a large flow of people will definitely attract the attention of all officials, so Chang Luo wants my father-in-law to make this matter clear." Tell Zhang Cheng that Xishan Huangzhuang is also willing to pay the mining tax to the royal father's internal funds, and invite Zhang Cheng to collect the mining tax."

When Sun Xian heard that this was the case, Sun Xian suddenly felt that this matter was not simple, and Sun Xian asked: "Why does the master have to pay the mining tax? You tell the emperor, the emperor will definitely not collect your mining tax. "

Zhu Changluo said: "The mine tax is the will of the father. How can a son only think about his own interests? I went to the father and said, the father will definitely not collect it. So I can only pay the tax in a curve, so that Zhang Cheng collects the mine tax on behalf of his father, which fulfills both his father's will and my filial piety."

Sun Xian said, "Okay, I'll tell Zhang Cheng now, my servant."

Zhu Changluo said: "Then thank you, Eunuch."

After talking about the matter with Sun Xian, Zhu Changluo asked Wang An to immediately arrange manpower to recruit people from Xishan to mine and dig coal in Xishan Coal Mine.The matter of briquettes must be brought up now, otherwise I will be sorry for such a cold winter.

Zhu Changluo handed over the method of honeycomb briquette to Wang An, and Wang An immediately organized a huge team to make the production of briquette briquette to the extreme.

In just three days, Wang An made millions of briquettes. One piece of briquette is priced at three copper coins. Buying ten briquettes will give you a coal stove, and the used briquettes will be recycled at the price of one penny. , So honeycomb became popular in the whole capital for a while!
After three days, the people in the capital who had used the briquettes bought back the briquettes one after another. This small briquette is simply a winter tool. Compared with expensive charcoal and firewood, the price is simply a free gift!
Therefore, in less than seven days, the homes of millions of people in the capital used briquettes from the Xishan Coal Mine.A large amount of wealth poured into Xishan Huangzhuang like a tide, and all this was completed before others knew it.

The reason why Zhu Changluo asked Sun Xian to tell Zhang Cheng to collect the mining tax was actually to protect himself.Zhu Changluo is really not sure about Emperor Wanli's thoughts now, for fear that he will hate the matter of establishing a reserve as much as in history, and he also hates him by the way.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo had to come in at this critical moment, otherwise Emperor Wanli would be really furious, and it would be a disaster if he didn't have any preparations on his side.Therefore, after much deliberation, Zhang Cheng could only be sacrificed.

When Zhang Cheng heard that Sun Xian said that Xishan Huangzhuang was going to open a coal mine and that he was willing to pay the mining tax, Zhang Cheng couldn't believe his ears.

Zhang Cheng asked in surprise: "Is it true?"

Sun Xian snorted, "Can our family still lie to you?"

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "How could Eunuch Sun lie to our family? Our family will arrange for people to collect taxes!"

Sun Xian said: "Then you can make arrangements quickly. Our family is leaving."

Zhang Cheng watched Sun Xian leave, and he said to the little eunuch next to him, "Go and find out what happened to the coal mine in Xishan Huangzhuang? Our family always thinks that Sun Xian, a bad gambler, will dig a hole for our family again." .”

After listening to Zhang Cheng's orders, the young lady at the side immediately went to investigate the matter of the Xishan Huangzhuang Coal Mine.

It was only when the little eunuch came back to report that Zhang Cheng realized that the coal mine in Xishan Huangzhuang was actually the coal mine owned by the eldest son Zhu Changluo.Now Zhang Cheng thought it was fun.

Zhang Cheng immediately went into the palace and told Emperor Wanli about it. When Emperor Wanli heard that Xishan Huangzhuang wanted to pay the mine tax, he also thought it was new, but Emperor Wanli didn't think much about it.Emperor Wanli said instead: "This is also Chang Luo's filial piety. Since he asked you to accept it, go and accept it."

After Zhang Cheng got the order of Emperor Wanli, he immediately arranged for the mine supervisor to go to the coal mine in Huangzhuang, Xishan to collect taxes.

When Wang An and others saw the mine supervisor sent by Zhang Cheng, they immediately invited the mine supervisor to Zhang San's financial room to check the coal mine's income.

It doesn't matter, the mine supervisor saw that the coal mine in Huangzhuang, Xishan, had a flow of as much as 30 taels of silver in just half a month!
According to Zhang Cheng's rule that three out of ten mining taxes will be drawn, Xishan Huangzhuang will have to pay 9 taels of silver!
The mine supervisor was stunned by this number, and he hurriedly asked Zhang Cheng to report the income of the coal mine in Xishan Huangzhuang.

Zhang Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this number, it was really lucrative!Unexpectedly, the worthless coal mine in the past turned into a gold mine in the hands of Xishan Huangzhuang!In just half a month, there was a turnover of 30 taels of silver.

This made Zhang Cheng's greedy heart start to agitate!
