Huang Zan is like a master key in court, he can open any lock.

If there is something that other people find unbelievable, just push it on this person.

Huang Zan has made great contributions to the technological innovation of the saltworks. Looking at the many household officials before the Ming Dynasty, no one can match it. It is also because the people of the Ming Dynasty have been able to eat cheap salt in the past few years, and the salt tax revenue of the court is also increasing. The further improvement made Huang Zan's reputation among officials and common people day by day.

This is also the reason why Yang Tinghe knew that Huang Zan was from the faction of Emperor Zhengde, but failed to drive him out of the court after taking power.

The teacher is unknown.

It is also easy to provoke public anger, making people think that Yang Ting is fighting with the party, even if he really wants to fight with the party, he must pay attention to rationality.

After completing the basic process of returning home during the three dynasties, Zhu Hao will take Sun Lan home.

Zhu Hao asked politely, "Should I leave my wife here first and pick her up after noon?"

Sun gave Zhu Hao a blank look: "It's hard to come here, why don't we leave after having a meal together?"

Zhu Hao looked outside, the winter sun was not too strong, and the sun was still in the southeast, so it was still some time before noon, so it meant that Sun Jiao wanted to have a "long talk" with him?
Old man Sun, do you know that this is called passive sabotage?

"I have other things."

Zhu Hao replied.

"what's up?"

Sun Jiao asked seriously.

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Old Sun is in court, does he care about what a younger generation like me does? I'm just studying in the Imperial Academy..."

Sun Jiaodao: "But your insight is not like a rookie who has just entered the officialdom, but rather has been in the officialdom for many years... The first time I saw you, I felt that you have an aura that other people don't have."

"Ha ha."

Zhu Hao forced a smile.

shrewdness?

Obviously not a compliment, but a sarcasm!

"Since you know that His Majesty is going to open a mine, you said that all this was done by Duke Huang of Nanjing, and you asked your teacher Tang Bohu to preside over this matter...then do you know who His Majesty would like to take over Bohu's errand?"

Sun Jiao asked the questions like an exam.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I don't know."

Sun Jiao asked, "Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be a lake?"

"Hey! Old Sun, don't think that I know everything. In fact, His Majesty is not very concerned about who will manage Huangzhuang... In the past, the harvest from the official land of Huangzhuang was used to fill military supplies. Your Majesty wants to build a temple for Xingxian Emperor , the money is not enough, so does it make any difference who will take over the official position?"

Zhu Hao settled the matter with a reason that sounded reasonable.

Sun Jiao thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded.

Sun Jiaodao: "So Your Majesty's purpose is to use Bohu to earn expenses for the Inner Palace so that the Inner Palace can run smoothly?"

Zhu Hao continued to shake his head: "The expenses of the Inner Palace have always been allocated from the treasury. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to rely on His Majesty to raise funds by himself? In addition, the profit from the mining this time is also to consolidate the coastal defense first. Why? Would you like to use it privately, Your Majesty?"

"Who said His Majesty used it for private use? You... It doesn't matter!"

Sun Jiao found out that Zhu Hao's speech was tight and never gave him a chance to make a breakthrough.

...

Zhu Hao said: "If there is nothing else, I will take my wife and leave...Old Sun, I will visit you later."

"Ah."

Sun Jiao nodded. Originally, he still had the heart to ask his daughter how she was doing at her husband's house and whether she was bullied.

But after thinking about it, it doesn't make much difference whether to ask or not, so he got up and asked someone to go to the inner courtyard to call out his daughter first, and let her leave with the "good son-in-law".

……

……

In the afternoon, when Zhu Hao saw Tang Yin again, Tang Yin had transformed into a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang.

Jiang Lun and Tang Yin walked together, very envious, but after seeing Zhu Hao, Jiang Lun hurriedly took two steps back.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Sir, congratulations."

Tang Yin said: "Originally, I was exhausted from managing the official farmland, but now let me, an old bone, go to mine? I really don't know what you think."

Jiang Lun hurriedly said: "Brother Bohu, do you think it's hard work for the court? You have only worked for a few days, and you are already a senior member of the court from the fifth rank. It takes five years to have such a promotion opportunity, and it may not be possible to be promoted."

He was a little regretful as he said, apparently he had been working as a errand in the Ministry of Rites before, but in the end he beat someone under Zhu Hao's plan and lost his errand.

There has been no mention of seeking office for him lately.

Tang Yin looked at Zhu Hao: "I think it's good to let Meng Zai take over from me as the head of the household department."

"Really?"

Jiang Lun looked excited, obviously this job is very suitable for him.

But Zhu Hao shook his head: "A person who is destined to be an honorable person should not worry about developing among civil servants, and more importantly, let people feel that he must enter the governor's mansion! If your majesty even has people around him Regardless, it will inevitably be criticized by others.”

"This……"

Between Jiang Lun's sorrow and joy, he felt that he was played by this pair of master and apprentice.

Tang Yin said: "Then... I don't know who will replace me?"

Zhu Hao smiled: "I don't know, maybe I was chosen in the end?"

Tang Yin was stunned, frowned and said: "If it's really you, I must propose to Mr. Yang Ge. Among the many people around him, it seems that you are the most suitable."

"Ah."

Zhu Hao nodded.

The problem lies here, there is no one around Yang Tinghe who is close to King Xing's Mansion.

If you want to manage Huangzhuang, there are a large number of old ministries of the new emperor in the Xingwang Mansion behind you. Find an outsider to sell the land or at least anyone can do it, but if you want to take care of it for a long time, you don’t need Zhu Hao to come from Xingwang Mansion like this people can not.

Jiang Lun said: "He's the head of the household department, but he's only at the sixth grade. Compared with the Imperial Academy's revision...it's a downgrade. Mr. Zhu will go?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I may not be able to make the choice at that time... In fact, that's fine, anyway, I'm bored in the Imperial Academy, and I just come out to do something... Master and apprentice work together to open the mine!"

Tang Yin had a look of disgust on his face: "Come on! I still haven't figured out what your kid is up to! Besides, do you think you are opening mines at the feet of the emperor?"

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "It should be like this...I plan to open the coal mine in Xishan!"

Jiang Lun and Tang Yin looked at each other.

Jiang Lun said: "I heard that...there are some coal mines on the west side of the mountain. I heard that even the Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang also opened mines there."

...

In Daming, private kilns were repeatedly prohibited. The imperial court has always restricted mining around the capital for fear of affecting feng shui. However, the output of coal mines can not only meet the cooking and heating needs of the capital and surrounding areas, but also accommodate a large number of craftsmen. Being able to seek benefits for those who opened mines, especially those nobles, it has become common practice to open coal mines privately around the capital.

Historically, it was not until Jiajingzhong that the mining ban was officially lifted, and several coal producing areas around the capital also officially began to prosper. In the next few hundred years, the mines became larger and larger, and the output became higher and higher.

Tang Yin seemed to understand Zhu Hao's meaning, and asked, "You want to compete with... the brothers of the Zhang family?"

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "They drive theirs, we drive ours, and they don't affect each other."

Jiang Lun said: "But the place with a lot of mineral deposits must have been occupied long ago."

"Then let's start from a new place... the mine is buried in loess and full of trees, do they know where the mine is richer?" Zhu Hao laughed.

Tang Yin was even more puzzled: "Then you know?"

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "We are operating a government coal mine with the permission of the imperial court. Mr. Tang is a member of the Ministry of Industry, and we can open it as we like. If you are afraid that you will not find rich ore, it is very simple. Let the master Su Someone from someone can help you find it... but I don't think it's necessary, because you forgot what I would do?"

"What will you...do?"

Tang Yin still didn't understand.

There are quite a few things you know, kid, and I really can't think of any one that is just right for mining.

On the contrary, Jiang Lun's head was bright: "Mr. Zhu is good at the art of geomancy and emptiness, and presumably he is very proficient in Fengshui. Just ask him to go to the mountain to test... tsk tsk, this bonanza has been found!"

"Ha ha."

Tang Yin could only respond with a wry smile.

Saying that you are a half-immortal who can pinch and count, do you really think of yourself as a half-immortal?Your so-called Kanyu Xuankong has something to do with mining?

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Exactly, if you don't believe me, let's wait and see."

……

……

Zhu Hao took Tang Yin to see Su Xigui that day.

Speaking of...

Su Xigui has also caught up with the tide of opening coal mines. He actually opened several coal mines in the suburbs of Beijing. Two of them are still in Xishan, but the output...is not very high. After all, the good locations are occupied by Xungui, and he It is difficult for merchants to have policy support for opening coal mines. Fortunately, Huang Zan supported him, otherwise he would not even be qualified to open coal mines.

"...Young Master, Mr. Tang, the two of you may not know that there are indeed many places around the capital that produce coal, but any place that has a lot of mines and is easy to mine must have been occupied by people. To offer', in fact, is to be taken away at a low price, whoever is not happy, directly serves in the yamen!"

Su Xigui explained the troubles of mining around the capital.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "This time is a major event that His Majesty has appointed, and even the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry support... Let me introduce you again. Mr. Tang is now a member of the Ministry of Industry's Yuheng Qing Officials Department. He is in charge of both mining and mining. Ordnance, etc. . . . even firearms are under his control."

Su Xigui was startled: "Why haven't you heard of this matter?"

Tang Yin sighed: "The transfer order just issued today was made by the court."

"Oh, if there is such a relationship, Mr. Tang...maybe he can really do something, but...those nobles are not easy to mess with."

Su Xigui was not overly surprised.

As a member of the Ministry of Industry, you think you are a big official?
My brother-in-law used to be the right servant of the household department, and now he is still the minister of the Nanjing household department. Should he be bullied by the nobles, there is still nothing he can do!

Zhu Hao said: "We don't rely on others to contribute, we dig the rich mines ourselves. After we do it, can the nobles come to snatch it? When the time comes, Dongchang and Jinyiwei will serve and let them know the fate of fighting for food at the mouth of His Majesty." !"

Su Xigui was stunned, and immediately said: "Xungui really doesn't dare to mess around with digging rich ore by himself, but... I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome, right?"

Su Xigui didn't have the nerve to say, do you think all the coal mines around the capital are laymen?
Instead, you are laymen!
Do you think that mining is so easy, you can dig a hole in any place and you can produce coal?
