Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 235, pull Liu Jin into the team
In Tianjin, Liu Jin is also always paying attention to the situation in the capital. Every day from today, there are two special carriages to send Liu Jin the latest information in the capital.

"Only fifty-four ministers were arrested?"

"There are still some kittens and puppies. None of the real big bosses have been caught. It seems that these big bosses are very cautious in their work. With the ability of the factory guards, they can't be found at this time. .”

Liu Jin couldn't help frowning as he looked at the latest information sent from the capital.

He couldn't believe that only fifty-four ministers participated in it. The Jiangnan Shilin almost occupied half of the Ming Dynasty Shilin. There were too many officials from the Jiangnan area above the court.

From the elders of the cabinet, the ministers of the six ministers, down to the seventh-rank Zhima officials, the entire Ming Dynasty is full of officials from Jiangnan. The fifty-four people arrested this time are basically from the Jiangnan area.

"Hu Wan'an, from the Hu family, the head of Huizhou merchants, Sun Wentang, from the Jianghuai family of great salt and grain merchants, and He Jingnian, another family of Huizhou merchants..."

After Liu Jin finished analyzing these arrested officials, he also began to analyze the profiteers who were arrested this time. All of them were big businessmen and big families from the Jiangnan area, and all of them were rich and wealthy.

"This time, Emperor Hongzhi is cheap. After checking these big families, it is estimated that Emperor Hongzhi's pockets will explode. But if this group is killed, new ones will emerge. The salt system and food system If there is no change, these Huizhou merchants and Jiangnan big families will be like a spark."

After reading it carefully from beginning to end, Liu Jin couldn't help sighing slightly.

"During the Ming Dynasty, there were clearly sprouts of capitalism, but this sprout of capitalism couldn't be transformed into a powerful force like the West, and then promote the progress of the entire society."

"I always didn't understand it before, but now I understand it somewhat."

"These so-called grain merchants and salt merchants cannot be regarded as the sprouts of capitalism. They just rose by relying on special policies. As long as the salt introduction system is still in place, batch after batch of various merchants will rise up, and Their existence seriously hindered the germination of capitalism."

Thinking of this, Liu Jin shook his head slightly.

"Brat, brat~"

Just as Liu Jin was meditating, a hearty voice came from outside, and before Liu Jin went out to greet him, the British Duke Zhang Mao walked in happily.

"Mr. Zhang~"

As soon as he saw Zhang Mao, Liu Jin quickly got up to pay his respects.

"Haha, I didn't expect me to come again so soon. What's the matter? Have you caught any rare goods recently? I came today with an empty stomach. If I don't have a nice meal, I'll just stay here."

Zhang Mao waved to Liu Jin, indicating that there is no need to be polite, and then sat down on the chair very familiarly.

"Mr. Zhang, are you afraid that there will be no good food in Tianjin?"

Liu Jin said with a smile, and at the same time, he began to think rapidly in his mind. There must be something wrong with Zhang Mao, the British public, who came to find him.

"With your words, I'm relieved. Hurry up and get someone ready to go. I'm very hungry now."

Zhang Mao nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "It's still pleasing to your eyes, kid, and it's not in vain for me to have the cheek to find you a lady here in the capital."

"...Thank you Mr. Zhang."

Liu Jin was speechless again. Zhang Mao hadn't introduced anyone to him until now, but he seemed to owe him a big favor.

"Don't thank me in advance. Your Majesty has already agreed to your proposal. He is going to announce the method of making this cement to the world. By then, the whole world will know the method and function of this cement."

"So this time I also came here specially to find you. How about we start a cement factory together?"

Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin, was very satisfied, and then said with a smile.

"A cement factory?"

Liu Jin was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Mao to come here for the cement factory, nor did he think that Emperor Hongzhi would really be willing to announce the method of making this cement to the world.

"Yes, to set up a cement factory, I have seen the method of making cement. Although it is relatively simple, not everyone can run it. It still requires a certain amount of capital to operate."

"Cement is a magic tool, an essential building material. As more and more people know about it, the demand for it will become stronger and stronger. It is absolutely profitable to set up a cement factory."

At this time, Zhang Mao seemed to be still not the Duke of Ming Dynasty, but a shrewd businessman. When it came to making money, he was very energetic.

"Of course I know that there is money to be made in running a cement factory. Otherwise, why do I keep expanding the scale of the cement factory and increasing the output of the cement factory in Tianjin?"

Liu Jin nodded with a smile, and had to say that Zhang Mao was definitely a qualified businessman, and he would intervene in all kinds of profitable transactions as soon as possible.

From honeycomb briquettes to fishing boats, and then to doing business at sea, and now he has his eyes on the business of this cement factory.

"But you also know that I have already partnered with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you also have the method of making cement, so there is no need to cooperate with me, right?"

"Of course it is necessary. It is also making briquettes. The Xishan Coal Industry has the same number of people. The output and profit are more than ten times that of my Sangong Coal Industry. You must have some special method. If you don't get you on board , I don't worry about it."

Zhang Mao smiled and said, from the sale of briquettes, not only Zhang Mao, Zhang brothers, Zhou family, Sihai Coal Industry, etc., are all studying Xishan Coal Industry, and want to know why there are as many The number of people, the briquette coal output of Xishan Coal Industry is higher, the profit is higher, the key is that the quality of the briquette and coal stove is better than everyone's, and the common people are more recognized.

But everyone studied and researched, and although there were some discoveries and harvests, they still didn't get the essence. Therefore, Zhang Mao made up his mind to set up a cement factory this time, and he must recruit Liu Jin to join him.

"Mr. Zhang, what can I do? I don't know any fairy arts, and everyone sees everything. I don't care about setting up a cement factory. Next time if there is any good business, we will come together again. "

Liu Jin shook his head with a smile, he really couldn't separate himself, Tianjin was already busy going around, and then he went to partner with Zhang Mao to do business, and he really didn't have the skills to separate himself.

"No, no, this thief ship is destined for you, kid."

"Let me tell you, this time my Zhang family, as well as Zhu's family and Xu's family, that is, the last time I came, you all know that the big guys are going to pool one hundred thousand taels of silver to build half a cement factory. What about this stock? The three of us each hold [-]%, and the remaining [-]% is yours, you don’t need to pay money, and you get [-]% of the shares for nothing, right? "

When Zhang Mao heard this, he shook his head again and again, and then told his plan. The conditions were obviously very good for Liu Jin.

Liu Jin doesn't need to pay for the money, but takes [-]% of the shares for nothing. It's like giving money to Liu Jin.

When Liu Jin heard this, he was slightly dumbfounded. He didn't expect that there would be such a thing as pie in the world, and he would give himself [-]% of the dry stock for nothing.

"Mr. Zhang, you won't be rewarded for nothing. I think it's better to forget it."

After thinking about it, Liu Jin still believed in the old saying that there is no free lunch in the world, and there will be no pies, not to mention that the advantages of these three princes are so easy to take advantage of?

"Why are you so blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Do you want me to be your matchmaker?"

When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately said anxiously.

"..."

Liu Jin was speechless again, then thought carefully and said: "Well, I'll offer [-] taels of silver to take [-]% of the shares, otherwise I really don't agree."

"Well, you boy, you don't take advantage of the free gift. In fact, we recruited you to join the gang to earn more money. You must have your own unique secret recipe, and you will definitely not lose money if you join the gang."

Seeing Liu Jin's promise, Zhang Mao immediately laughed happily. He is very shrewd, how could he do business at a loss and let others take advantage of him? In fact, he also took a fancy to Liu Jin's ability.

"Um, I don't have the habit of taking advantage of others~"

Liu Jin had to give Zhang Mao a thumbs up for his cleverness. This is really a fine person. Whether it is a cement plant or a coal industry, the production method is simple, but he is very knowledgeable in management. Whether the management is good or not depends on a person. Business success or failure.

"Boy, I, Zhang Mao, don't have the habit of taking advantage of others."

"Don't worry, when you return to the capital, I will definitely introduce you to a beautiful lady from a famous family, and keep you satisfied."

Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin, he liked Liu Jin more and more.

"..."

Liu Jin was speechless again, feeling very helpless for Zhang Mao's thick skin, you can introduce me to one, I am now a male college student and married, it's time to start a family and start a business, I also need a warm bed when I sleep at night confidant.

You have been inseparable in these three rounds, but you have not taken any practical actions. The skill of drawing big cakes has reached the full level. It is also fortunate that I did not expect you to be a beauty, otherwise I would really die.

　Now that we are collecting the name of the heroine, it is best to provide a brief introduction of personality and background~~
