Chapter 619 Defeat
Household Yamen.

Yang Tinghe came to the door in person, Sun Jiao wanted to go home and rest early that day, but he was shocked when he got the news, why did he invite Yang Tinghe, this evil star?

Sun Jiao and Qin Jin, the left servant of the household department, went to the gate of the Yamen to welcome Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe came alone this time, he didn't say anything in front of Qin Jin, and immediately retreated to the left and right when entering the office, talking to Sun Jiao alone.

Sun Jiao asked in puzzlement, "But it's about the official land?"

Yang Tinghe said: "Today His Majesty sent Tang Bohu to the armor factory to sell coal kilns, brother Zhitong didn't know about it?"

"Oh?"

Of course Sun Jiao knew, and he knew no less than Yang Tinghe, but he didn't want to publicize it to the outside world, but he didn't know that Tang Bohu would auction off the newly discovered coal mine at the same time, so he asked in surprise: "I heard it, but... Isn’t the Ministry of Industry responsible for this matter?”

Yang Tinghe said coldly: "Today, Tang Bohu disregarded public and private interests, and in the name of the inner government, sold the newly discovered coal mines together."

Sun Jiao was startled, then said in surprise, "Impossible!"

Yang Tinghe asked: "Brother Zhitong really doesn't know?"

Seeing Yang Tinghe's skeptical eyes, Sun Jiao was very anxious. He naturally knew that Tang Yin had explored a coal mine, but the problem was, it was not until February, and the newly explored coal mine could be successfully sold?

Are those merchants stupid?

Some people dare to buy coal mines that cannot see the prospect of profit?

Sun Jiao hesitated for a moment, and said, "Jiefu, should you investigate first? Even if Bohu intends to sell it, no one will buy it. This is different from the coal mines owned by Marquis Shouning and Marquis Jianchang. There are government-run coal mines, you should be very aware of this."

There was none in the past, and what is available now can only be discovered at the beginning of the year, so it is absolutely impossible for the situation Yang Tinghe said to happen.

Yang Tinghe said with a dark face: "As far as I know, someone successfully bid for the first coal mine with [-] taels of silver, and the second and third are still being sold. I heard that the price of the second coal mine has exceeded [-] taels... "

"what?"

After all, Sun Jiao manages the household department and is very sensitive to the amount of money and food.

He wanted to ask.

Are you sure it's not six hundred taels or six thousand taels?

If it's [-] taels, it's not a coal mine, but a gold mine!
Yang Tinghe saw that Sun Jiao's reaction didn't look like a fake, and said coldly: "If brother Zhitong doesn't know, he will enter the palace with the headquarters to face the saint."

After saying that, Yang Tinghe got up, and wanted to bring Sun Jiao into the palace to reason with Zhu Si.

"and many more."

Sun Jiao hurriedly called Yang Tinghe to stop.

Yang Tinghe turned his head and looked over with vicious eyes, Sun Jiao was a little confused, wondering why Yang Tinghe had such a big reaction.

Sun Jiao murmured: "Jie...Jiefu, isn't it a good thing for the imperial court to sell the coal mines to fill the shortfall in the treasury? Besides, the southeast coastal defense issue is still unresolved. The Japanese pirates and pirates have never been resolved since the end of Hongzhi. Can be properly cleared, at this time..."

With a straight face, Yang Tinghe interrupted Sun Jiao: "When Tang Yin entered the city, he went to the mansion with Zhu Hao to pay a visit. Could it be that he didn't mention this matter at all?"

Sun Jiao's head seemed to be hit hard by someone.

You Yang Tinghe sent someone to spy on me?Did you know that Tang Yin and Zhu Hao came to visit my house?You don't know what they said to me, do you?

No wonder you saw me today, as if you had taken gunpowder, you took me for the new emperor.

"Even if you come and meet, it's impossible to mention such secrets in front of the old man. The old man has never been involved in such matters, you, Yang Jiefu, don't want to wrong people!"

Sun Jiao was also annoyed.

Yang Ting is too much with you.

In order to fight against the new emperor, now burn the fire on me, an old guy who has been deliberately keeping neutral. Are you really worthy of our old friendship?

In terms of age, I am older than you, and in terms of qualifications, my grandson is no worse than you, Yang Tinghe!
Yang Tinghe saw that Sun Jiao was blowing his beard and staring with anger, and he seemed to be breaking up with him. He immediately reflected, maybe he was aggressive and made Sun Jiao feel rebellious, but his tone of voice was still very aggressive: "This time, His Majesty sold the coal mine in the name of the inner government. Adopt the bidding method and let merchants bid, if something goes wrong in the follow-up, wouldn’t the common people all accuse the court of competing for profit with the people?”

Sun Jiao sighed: "Since it is a bidding, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and it is not forced to buy and sell, it depends on ability and vision, regardless of gain or loss. What you care about, Jiefu, is not the reputation of the court?"

Yang Tinghe was annoyed for a while, but he couldn't refute.

"Rules are dead, but people are alive. If you want to ask His Majesty to reason, it's okay, but I shouldn't be the one from the Ministry of Household Affairs." Sun Jiaodao, "Even if I let the old man go, I should call the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, or wait for him. It won’t be too late to bring it up at the North Korea meeting.”

Yang Tinghe said: "Once this case is opened, the court rules will disappear."

Sun Jiao shook his head: "Let's take it lightly, at least His Majesty has not disturbed my ancestral court law, I will not go today, but if there is a court meeting in the future, I am still willing to stand with you, Jie Fu! If there is any offense, please Forgive me!"

In the past, Sun Jiao didn't want to stand between the new emperor and Yang Tinghe, and now he doesn't want to.

But the balance in his heart has faintly tilted towards the little emperor.

Sun Jiao is not a fool, how can he fail to see that Yang Tinghe and the new emperor have always been at a disadvantage due to the restrictions of the rules when he has been in politics for many years?As for the new emperor, Tang Yin and Zhu Hao did not follow the routine.

Now that Yang Tinghe has faintly shown signs of defeat, Sun Jiao is only nominally standing with Yang Tinghe at this moment, but in fact he wants to watch the fire from the other side.

……

……

Outside the armor factory.

The auction of the three coal mines was successfully concluded.

The starting price is not high.

But the transaction price was astonishingly high.

The first place sold [-] taels, the highest premium.

The second place was sold for [-] taels.

The third place also has thirty-five thousand taels.

These three coal mines alone allowed the Neifu to make a net profit of [-] taels, plus the proceeds from the previous auction of Zhang's relatives' coal mines, the total value was [-] taels.

Because [-]% of the money of the Zhang family brothers needs to be temporarily stored in the bank account, and the actual payment is more than [-] taels. This auction alone allowed the inner government to raise [-] taels of silver. Not all of them will be transferred to the southeast.

According to Zhu Hao's vision, this is the start-up capital for Daming's industrialization, which is used to open mines in Xishan, open smelting workshops, and open more metal and firearm workshops around the capital.

Zhu Hao also wanted to build ships in the Bohai Sea.

It is obviously unrealistic and costly for Zhu Hao to raise money by himself, and the additional money to be added later is also an astronomical figure. In a year, the cost alone will exceed one hundred thousand taels, and he will not see much return in a few years.

It is even more impossible to rely on the imperial court to allocate money, and the civil officials headed by Yang Tinghe will definitely not agree to such a large unplanned consumption.

If Yang Tinghe was to fall, the industrial plan would have to be launched a few years later, and Zhu Hao would not be able to become the chief assistant of the cabinet at that time, and he would still be coerced by civil officials everywhere.

The best way is as it is now.

Looking for a reason, it is the gap in the southeast coast defense, deliberately forcing Yang Tinghe to make trouble for the new emperor, and let Zhu Si take the initiative to undertake the errand of raising money, food and armaments, and use this as an opportunity to use the resources that the court can mobilize, such as mineral mining rights, etc. Raise sufficient funds from the private sector.

With the start-up funds, Zhu Hao's giant ship of industrializing Daming can be launched.

Although it's a bit early to set sail for a long voyage, everything is difficult at the beginning, and Zhu Hao thinks it's a good start.

Auction is over.

Yang Shen left first, apparently in a hurry to go home and find his father to discuss countermeasures.

On the other hand, Zhu Hao leisurely walked out of the tea shop, he couldn't meet Zhu Si at this time, because according to the plan, Zhu Si had already returned to the palace, and to deal with emergencies, it would be good to meet Tang Yin.

Inside the armor factory.

"...Then this mining license will be issued by the Ministry of Industry, and His Majesty will use the imperial treasure to appoint it in two days, and Jin Yiwei will protect this matter at that time!"

Tang Yin was talking about the mining license with Su Xigui and three other merchants who had won the bid for the new coal mine.

Not only is there an official certificate from the Ministry of Industry, but also the emperor's imperial treasure as a guarantee.

For ordinary merchants, just a mining license can be a family heirloom.

Zhu Hao looked at Tang Yin talking eloquently from the side, with a radiant look on his face, and couldn't help nodding his head in approval.

Tang Yin had spotted Zhu Hao, but he was still concentrating on the task at hand.

"Everyone, send the silver as soon as possible. It must be completed within one day, and the mining license from the Ministry of Industry will be processed immediately." Tang Yin said.

Su Xigui stood up and helped Zhang Luo: "Everyone, go back quickly and bring the money. If there is any shortage, you can directly go to the bank to withdraw it. Properties such as farms and houses can get the bank as collateral."

"Master Su, are you making fun of us? If there is no money, who would dare to ford this river?" A businessman next to him laughed.

Su Xigui smiled and said: "Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones. You should know what Mr. Tang is capable of. He is my great talent and the best candidate for the future department. Are you buying a mine? Is that buying a mine?" There is a road, a road leading to the sky."

This sounds awkward.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, why didn't you say you bought a road to heaven?
But these words are very useful to those merchants.

Although nominally three coal mines were purchased, in fact the cheapest No. [-] coal mine was jointly purchased by two companies with equal shares. Therefore, including Su Xigui, four companies acted as the first to eat crabs.

……

……

Except for Su Xigui, every family went back first and hurriedly sent money here.

After people leave.

Tang Yin dismissed the people from the armor factory, took Su Xigui and walked in front of Zhu Hao.

Tang Yin said: "Your Majesty is gone?"

Su Xigui was startled, could it be that the emperor was there before?
Then his own performance...was the emperor witnessed it with his own eyes?

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Commander Zhu has escorted His Majesty back to the palace, and Yang Yongxiu has also gone back."

"Ugh!"

Tang Yin sighed, "Then Yang Ge is probably going to be in a hurry now. It's a done deal. The cabinet doesn't even have a countermeasure. I haven't even seen anyone from the Ministry of Industry... It seems that you are still worrying too much."

After listening to the conversation between the master and the apprentice, Su Xigui immediately understood that Zhu Hao was the one who planned behind it, and Tang Yin was the one who handled the affairs.

Zhu Hao's plan must include how to send officials from the Ministry of Industry to stop the auction.

But the Ministry of Industry realized it later and didn't take any action, which saved everyone's trouble.
