Chapter 462 Panic
Chapter 462
Zhang Hao sat there to count the money, and Jiajing sat there to settle the score. After a while, Jiajing would have settled it, with a total of 223,200 taels.
"223200 taels, right?" Jiajing asked at Zhang Hao.
When Zhang Hao heard this, he looked at Jiajing depressedly. He wanted to divide half of it, but he only had more than 100,000 taels left.
"Come on the money quickly, Lu Fang, you count 120,000 taels from it, let's not care about the rest!" Jiajing said to Lu Fang.
"Your Majesty, how did you settle the accounts? Why did you divide 120,000 taels?" Zhang Hao shouted at Jiajing in shock when he heard this.
"Aren't your people still receiving them? I won't participate at that time. All I receive is yours, and I didn't take more of yours!" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and asked.
"What if I didn't receive it?" Zhang Hao asked Jiajing.
"Then are you embarrassed?" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao with contempt at this moment.
"No, you, your master, you are more efficient than me to steal money. How difficult is it for me to get money from those ministers? You're fine, you'll steal me so quickly!" Zhang Hao said speechlessly at Jiajing.
"Hehe!" Jiajing heard this and smiled proudly, then walked away with his hands behind his back and went to the platform to read the memorial.
Zhang Hao continued to count the money, and Lu Fang was counting there. After Lu Fang finished counting, he took the money and went to the wing room not far away. Zhang Hao immediately stood up and wanted to follow him.
"Stop, what are you doing? Bastard!" Jiajing shouted immediately when he saw Zhang Hao moving.
"Let's take a look!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.
"Get back, I'm worried about my money every day, are you embarrassed?" Jiajing cursed at Zhang Hao.
"You are still thinking about my money every day!" Zhang Hao said depressedly. There was no way, so he could only come back and continue to look at the money.
At this moment, on the cabinet side, several cabinet ministers were sitting there and dealing with the matters of the cabinet. Now they were also sitting there chatting. There was also a tea table in the cabinet lobby where they sat there drinking tea.
"Zhang Hao handled it well this time, very smart!" Yan Song sat there and said with a smile. Xu Jie heard it, was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yan Song.
"Gei Master Yan, this is still handled well. Those ministers don't know how to curse people!" Wang Bangrui immediately said to Yan Song.
"What do you know?" Yan Song smiled.
"I said to Master Yan, you are very knowledgeable. How could you handle this smartly? I'm still worried!" Xu Jie looked at Yan Song without understanding, and the other officials were the same.
"You said, are those officials who impeached Zhang Hao afraid? Are you afraid in your heart?" Yan Song asked Xu Jie.
"Hmm? That, are you afraid?" Xu Jie thought when he heard this, he thought that he was probably afraid. After all, Zhang Hao is the commander of the Jinyiwei. If Zhang Hao wants to deal with them, they will be in trouble.
"What will people do if they are afraid?" Yan Song continued to ask, and Xu Jie looked at Yan Song.
"He will find a way to kill things that make him afraid of, which is why, Zhang Hao killed Sun Liankai before, and those ministers impeached Zhang Hao. Look, today, are there any impeachment memorials? There is no one? Why?
Because Zhang Hao took their money and would not deal with them anymore. Since Zhang Hao's danger does not pose a danger, who is still staring at Zhang Hao?
In other words, those ministers can have a good sleep tonight, and so do we, and so do the emperor. This matter has passed like this. I can't even think of such a solution, but this kid actually thought of it. I have to accept it!" Yan Song sat there, touching his beard and said.
"He thought of a solution? He wanted to extort money from the ministers. Although Zhang Hao was my husband's son-in-law, I thought that he still had the same purpose!" Xu Jie understood when he heard Yan Song say this, and knew that Zhang Hao had done this right.
"That's right, I guess Mr. Lu An thought so too!" Zhou Yan sat there and said with a smile.
"Then you all the Censorate won't investigate? Zhang Hao is extorting money!" Zhang Jing said with a smile as he looked at Zhou Yan.
"What a joke? He extorted money, is there any reason? Is Zhang Hao short of money? Who doesn't want to give it? Is anyone reporting it?" Zhou Yan immediately said to Zhang Jing with a smile. When they heard it, they laughed, and knew in their hearts that Zhang Hao had really gotten the right thing this time.
On Zhang Hao's side, after Zhang Hao finished his meal from the Danfang, he went to Shuntian Mansion. Zhang Hao was still the prefect of Shuntian Mansion, so Zhang Hao still needs to keep an eye on many things.
Zhang Hao stayed in Shuntian Mansion for a day. When he returned home in the evening, he found Xu Jie there, so Zhang Hao went there immediately.
"Father-in-law, why are you here? Have you eaten?" Zhang Hao went over and asked.
"I've eaten it, I'll eat it at your house!" Xu Jie said with a smile. At this time, Xu Shiyun also came over and said to Zhang Hao, "Dad has eaten it. If you are not at home, I will ask the kitchen to cook a few side dishes. I don't know when you will come back, so I won't wait for you!"
"Well, don't wait for me, I have a lot of things!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.
"Let's go to your study!" Xu Jie stood up and said to Zhang Hao. Soon the two of them arrived at the study, and Zhang Hao sat there and started making tea.
"This time, it's your great achievement. Today, more than 20,000 kilograms of pig iron came to the capital. However, Hao'er, you can pay attention. Someone has already stared at this pig iron!" Xu Jie said to Zhang Hao.
When Zhang Hao heard this, he looked at Xu Jie in confusion.
"Do you know how much pig iron costs per pound?" Xu Jie asked Zhang Hao.
"I know, 50 cents!" Zhang Hao nodded, and Xu Jie nodded when he heard this and said, "It's good that you know, 50 cents per kilogram is not enough. On the military side, I estimate that 1 million kilograms a year is enough. I found out about your workshop. The annual output is more than 10 million kilograms, right?"
"Yes, it's almost the same, it's estimated that 12 million pounds will go up!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.
"That's right. Think about it, 20 pounds are 1 tael of silver, 12 million pounds, and 600,000 taels of silver a year. Just one workshop, 600,000 taels of silver. Think about it, in addition to your two workshops, there are salt. Who can make money? In the past, the iron shops were all lost money, and the court had to lose money. But now, 600,000 taels of silver, how much profit do you think there is?" Xu Jie asked Zhang Hao.
"It's probably not much, it's just the labor cost, which adds up to 200,000 taels!" Zhang Hao thought about it for a while and said.
"Then there is still a profit of 400,000 taels. If it is handed over to other officials, I dare say that it would be nice to have a profit of 100,000 taels to the court. Many people are staring at this workshop!" Xu Jie looked at Zhang Hao and said.
"Many people are staring at me, who?" Zhang Hao looked at Xu Jie in shock. He couldn't figure it out. Who dares to stare at things in the court?
"Several vassal kings and some family members in the harem are also staring at them. The money-making things were originally the ones they were staring at. In addition, there are actually many people in your glass workshop that want to talk to you, but they dare not come!" Xu Jie explained to Zhang Hao.
"Father King, yes, they have this ability and courage?" Zhang Hao laughed and said.
"Those vassal kings can still do it themselves. They all have their own people. When they go up, you won't know that he is the vassal king!" Xu Jie said with a wry smile.
"There is such a thing? Who are the three people in Tiefang now who are the vassal kings?" Zhang Hao immediately stared at Xu Jie and asked.
"Not now, but the future does not mean it is not!" Xu Jie looked at Zhang Hao and said in a sigh.
When Zhang Hao heard this, he understood, so he sat there to make tea.
"If you want to keep the profits of this Tiefang, you need to let your own people in. For example, Zhang Juzheng and Hu Zongxian do a good job. Now they have great power, but no one dares to touch them. They all know that they are yours and the emperor's people.
So now they are reforming the sales channels of salt in various places, and no one dares to resist. The vassal kings are no longer fighting with them in this matter. They know that they have lost the battle and the King of Jin is already dead. This is also the emperor's determination. Therefore, Hao'er, on the side of Tiefang, you also need to let your own people in!" Xu Jie said to Zhang Hao.
"Father-in-law, I don't have my own people, and I won't let my own people in. Hu Zongxian and Zhang Juzheng are the choices of the emperor!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Jie with a wry smile.
"Then you have to find it yourself!" Xu Jie said to Zhang Hao.
"Well, it doesn't matter. I can still control this Tiefang. If someone really dares to do anything randomly, I don't mind killing people!" Zhang Hao sneered at Xu Jie and said.
"Murder, can you finish killing?" Xu Jie stared at Zhang Hao and asked.
"Okay, at least, the court is much better now than last winter, right? Many people don't dare to reach out, right? They will be afraid of being killed!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.
Xu Jie heard this, sighed, and then said, "Anyway, you have to pay attention. In addition, those vassal kings will also stare at you now. They are worried about you checking taxes. If you really check, I guess many vassal kings can't sleep. In addition, I heard that the farmlands in Shanxi this year are farmlands distributed to the people. They are growing very well now. In another month, there will be a bumper harvest!"
"Well. That's good. I haven't paid attention to this matter yet!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.
"This incident has caused some people to panic!" Xu Jie continued to remind Zhang Hao and said.
"Panish?" Zhang Hao immediately stared at Xu Jie.
"That's right, those people with a lot of farmland are worried now. When Zhang Hao wants to take back the farmland, will you find an excuse to deal with them? After all, many people have control over a lot of farmland at home. How can they not worry?
