Concubine Lu Jing and Concubine Kang are the ones who come to Xiyuan most frequently recently. When they come here, they have a superior status and each has a son of a prince. Secondly, before Yan Niang entered the palace, Xiao Feng specifically asked her to provide key training to these two people.
Originally, the two of them were the most beautiful and favored among the concubines. Now, although their youth is fleeting, their charm still remains. With the blessing of "technology", it immediately evokes the feeling in Jiajing's heart.
Concubine Lu Jing, dressed in light pink today, swayed into the monastery, which made Jiajing's eyes light up, and she nodded with a smile and offered her a seat. The monastery was all made up of wooden chairs and futons. Sitting on the futon, Concubine Lu Jing felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't understand why Jiajing liked to sit on such a thing.
"Long live, my concubine came to see Long live today, but she was entrusted by the sisters."
Concubine Lu Jing's voice was coquettish and a little proud. Look, I'm here to represent the public opinion. They didn't ask Concubine Kang to come.
Jiajing also felt a little curious and nodded with a smile.
"Oh? So this is business? Let's talk about it and see if you can do something serious?"
"Chen Concubine and Sister Kang Fei come to Xiyuan many times. When I go back, I tell my sisters about the renovation of Long Live Xiyuan...what is it? Yes, the sewer project. That's the name. Eunuch Bai from the Internal Affairs Bureau is like this. That's right. The sisters are all very envious."
Jiajing understood. It turned out that these women had used the high-end toilet that they had renovated in Xiyuan. After returning to the palace, they disliked the toilet a little bit.
Thinking about it, this is natural. Who wants to live in the same room with things that are defecation and defecation? Before, people didn’t think anything of it because they had no choice but to do it. Now that they have seen something better, it is naturally unbearable.
Not to mention a woman with a clean nature, even Jiajing felt that the smell of the toilet was a bit loud at night when she returned to the palace. Naturally, Concubine Lu Jing and Concubine Kang, who spent the night in Xiyuan, couldn't forget it.
Alas, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Jiajing thought of this sentence inexplicably. But for the emperor, satisfying his beloved woman's small thoughts seems not to be a luxury.
"It's simple. Just ask the inner warden to find Xiao Feng and let the construction team he introduced do it. When the craftsmen enter the harem, just ask the inner guards to strictly monitor them."
In fact, it is common for outside craftsmen to enter the palace for construction. For such a large palace, even if there are no new projects, there is still a lot of repair work. It is impossible for the internal officials and supervisors to support so many craftsmen, so they often have to hire temporary hires from outside.
Concubine Lu Jing was very happy to gain face. She exchanged glances with Jiajing, hinted that she would come back in the evening, and left accompanied by the palace maid. Jiajing stared at her back for a while.
"Huang Ban, why do I feel that Concubine Lu Jing wants to help Xiao Feng? At this juncture, it will be beneficial to Xiao Feng to do such a project."
Huang Jin also laughed. Now that Jiajing could see it, he felt much less nervous.
"Long live, Xiao Feng is fair and treats Prince Yu and Prince Jing equally. No matter what happens, he will not neglect either of them. The two princes regard Xiao Feng as half a teacher and half a friend, quite like a younger brother to an older brother.
It is impossible for Concubine Lu Jing and Concubine Kang not to feel this kind of thing. In addition, the two empresses also benefited a lot from Xiao Feng's calligraphy test for the nobles last time, so it is natural for them to have a good impression of Xiao Feng.
However, the fact that the palace is envious of the Xiyuan Project is indeed not the intention of Concubine Lu Jing alone. Indeed, many nobles are envious of it. "
Jiajing was noncommittal, but he was not unhappy about it. Although he had made up his mind not to help each other and wanted to see who was more skilled between Xiao Feng and Yan Shifan, strictly speaking, Yan Shifan was suspected of committing a foul by touching the user department and the engineering department.
It is natural for my beloved concubines to want to improve their living standards. They cannot be regarded as helping Xiao Feng just because they appear at this juncture.
King Jing thought so too. He thinks he is not like King Yu, he only focuses on pleasing Xiao Feng, like a follower. After all, Yan Shifan had been his master and wanted to help him become the prince. He was not the kind of person who turned his back on others.
But King Yu borrowed a cook to help Zuixianlou, and when he raised his head like that, he looked unhappy. What are you showing off to? Sir, please see that we are the same.
So King Jing's instigation of Concubine Lu Jing to talk about this matter really had nothing to do with the attack launched by Yan Dang. It was entirely because Xiao Feng chatted with him that everyone in the harem was envious of Xiyuan's project. Concubine Kang especially actively promoted it and called on everyone to petition Long Live for renovation.
King Jing suddenly realized that if his mother and concubine didn't say anything about this, Concubine Kang would definitely say it. Instead of doing this, it would be better to get the first step and make a tie with King Yu, so as not to make this boy arrogant.
But when the news about Concubine Lu Jing pulling a project for Xiao Feng reached Yan Shifan's ears, he felt very uncomfortable. Damn it, I've been training this kid in vain for several years, and he rebelled so quickly?
When Eunuch Bai found Zhang Tianci, Zhang Tianci was surrounded by a group of people collecting debts. Eunuch Bai is also a well-informed person and knows that this matter is a contest between Yan Dang and Xiao Feng, and it is not appropriate to participate.
Therefore, he just informed Zhang Tianci to send someone to the palace to measure, and at the same time sent part of the salary advance, and then left on his own.
During the whole process, Eunuch Bai and Zhang Tianci didn't say a few words, but the more this happened, the more everyone felt that the water here was very deep. It's just a notice. Eunuch Bai can just send a young eunuch here at will. Is it necessary to come in person?
What's more, the palace's salary advance is usually given in banknotes. Why did Eunuch Bai go to all the trouble to have someone carry a box of silver?
Zhang Tianci was waiting for this opportunity. He waved, and Zhang Da and Zhang Er led the guys to close the door. The bosses were startled, thinking that Zhang Tianci was going to take action. As a result, Zhang Tianci took out a piece of paper and waved to everyone mysteriously, asking everyone to pass it around.
After everyone looked at it one by one, they all felt novel and confused. At the same time, they were also affected by Zhang Tianci's mysteriousness, and they all asked in low voices.
"President Zhang, what does this debt-for-equity swap mean?"
"You are all businessmen, and business is all about making money. I guess you don't have any objections to this, right?"
Of course I have no objection. At this time, businessmen didn’t have much feelings about family and country. Those who had feelings about family and country had all become officials, so who was still doing business? So everyone nodded.
"So this time we would rather pay back the interest than collect the debt from the subordinates. In fact, we were forced by the government. We don't want to in our hearts, right?"
Of course, can businessmen fail to settle this account? This interest rate is positive and negative. How big a loss is. Who would do it unless forced to do so? Everyone nodded faster.
"Of course everyone knows that it's impossible for me to scrape together so much money for everyone to get it all at once, right?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, knowing that this was something they knew very well, and there was nothing they could do to help, so everyone nodded again and again.
"If I can't come up with cash, then I'll use my family property to pay off your debts, right?"
Everyone's face was full of shame, and they didn't know whether they should click the button, but when the father is married and the mother is married, it's not the time to be embarrassed, so in the end, it was very embarrassing to click the button.
"So, this is a plan to repay everyone's debts and enable everyone to do business with the government. As you know, my Zhang Tianci's business mainly consists of four major areas.
The first is the God-given Food Store, the second is the God-given Construction, the third is the Chunyan Tower, and the fourth is the Zuixian Tower. How much do you think these four pieces of business are worth? "
Everyone looked at each other. Of course they knew that these four businesses were profitable businesses, but they couldn't say how much they were worth. In fact, business in the Ming Dynasty was not as developed as in the Song Dynasty. Everyone was very vague about the valuation method of business, and they were accustomed to not selling the business until it went bankrupt.
This is why there were relatively few business changes in the Ming Dynasty. Unless it went bankrupt and liquidated like Tan Xinren, no one was willing to change hands of the current business.
Zhang Tianci waved his hand: "I know you don't pay much attention to this matter, so I'll help you do the math." He called out the accountant and took out stacks of thick account books.
How much is the fixed assets of Tianci Grain Bank, how much is the annual turnover, and how much is the net profit? This is the best calculation. The grain merchants present are also experts and know what they are doing.
Tianci Construction is more powerful. Don't look at Gangcheng City, but the Shiguan project has just been completed, and it has made a profit of 10,000 taels from this project alone; the Xiyuan project is in progress, and it has made at least 10,000 taels of profit.
Let's calculate how much money Eunuch Bai can make if he comes to take care of the palace project he has notified himself. No wonder Zhang Tianci had to close the door before he would say anything. Zhang Tianci would definitely refuse to admit it when word got out about it.
Everyone was already stunned when Zhang Tianci came up with another larger project contract, but it was signed by Qiu Luan, the commander-in-chief of Datong, and Zhang Tianci. Because it is initialed, it has not been filed with the Ministry of Industry yet, but the amount of work is huge, including repairing the city walls of Datong and its border towns, building new archery towers and other facilities!
How much money do you need to earn for such a large project? All the bosses of the construction team were calculating silently in their hearts, their fingers trembling a little. A few clever ones have already spoken.
"President, surely your God-given construction can't handle such a big job?"
"Of course, I already said it when I became president, if there is a big project, I will definitely ask you to help me with it!"
The bosses of these construction teams were silent and looked at each other warily at their peers, wondering how they could get a bigger share.
The remaining Chunyan Tower and Zuixian Tower belong to the entertainment and catering industries, and there are few experts among the people present. Because when Zhang Tianci borrowed the money, he was not familiar with the bosses of these two industries.
However, these shopping mall veterans are extremely sensitive to accounting books, and can tell whether the accounts are true or false at a glance. Zhang Tianci clearly remembered from his account book that Chunyan Tower was very profitable and could be called a human body money printing factory.
Although the profits of Zuixianlou were very low before, it is not what it used to be. Everyone knows that Liu Ruyun is the new god of food, and according to the people at the scene, the twenty dishes are all delicious that they have never tasted before.
Zuixianlou will only open tomorrow, and there are already people queuing up all night today, ready to grab the first pot. Even the dignitaries in the capital asked people to find connections, hoping to arrange a private room upstairs. Among these debt collection bosses, there are those who are beaten around the bush.
So after Zhang Tianci finally took stock of these businesses, the total net assets were about 300,000 taels, but the annual profit was no less than 50,000 taels. This does not take into account the possible growth of Zuixianlou this year!
The bosses all stared blankly at Zhang Tianci, drooling with envy. This guy was really lucky. In just one year, he went from an ordinary grain merchant to such a rich man. Big boss!
Zhang Tianci took a breath, took a sip of tea, and took out a stack of payment documents.
"The money I owe you all together is only two hundred thousand taels. My eldest brother said that the most important thing in business is unity.
Unity leads to gain, division leads to defeat. How great was Xinren's glory at the beginning, but because he was unpopular, he eventually fell into ruin! "
Everyone secretly thought that Tan Xinren had been unpopular for a long time. Didn't he fall into defeat in the end because he offended Xiao Feng? But at this time, no one was more serious than this, and they all nodded in agreement.
"What Mr. Xiao said is absolutely true!"
"So, my eldest brother asked me to suffer some losses, so he priced the entire business at 300,000 taels, which only counted the net assets, not the profits!
This business of 300,000 taels was divided into 30,000 shares of stock, 11 taels per share!
In other words, everyone here today can convert the money they lent to me, Zhang Tianci, into stocks, and from now on they will become shareholders of all my Zhang Tianci businesses! "
