Chapter 4 The West Factory and the Yongwei Battalion
It was night, and Wei Zhongxian, who had already fallen asleep, was woken up by the servants waiting on him.

"Grandpa~Grandpa~"

"What's the matter!?" Although he knew that servants would not call him for something that wasn't important, he still couldn't help being a little annoyed.

"Grandpa, the Commander of Jin Yiwei asked Tian Ergeng to see him outside. He said that he had to report something important tonight." The servant was startled and said lying on the ground.

"Let him wait for me in the side hall."

Wei Zhongxian was silent for a while, then spoke slowly.

A quarter of an hour later, he saw Tian Ergeng who was visiting late at night.

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand to stop Tian Ergeng from saluting.

"What's the matter?"

"The factory owner made an atonement and disturbed the factory owner's rest. For what I said tonight, I have prepared 5 taels of silver, and I am willing to share the worries for the factory owner." Tian Ergeng said flatteringly while bending over beside Wei Zhongxian.

"Really, has the interest been deducted?" Wei Zhongxian said lightly, taking a sip of tea.

"No, worrying about the company's share, how dare you ask for interest."

Wei Zhongxian stopped drinking tea, and turned his eyes to Tian Ergeng who was full of smiles.

Although he knew that his words were full of moisture, they were still extremely useful.

"Is it possible to lose your share? Go to Wang Er to collect the interest, and write a note by the way."

"Ah~ that humble job resigns!"

After speaking, he bowed and walked out.

Wei Zhongxian looked at the several large boxes piled up behind the door, with a smile on his face.

He got up and was about to go back to the house and sleep again, when the servants came in to report again.

"Grandpa, Sun Yunhe, the criminal officer of Dongchang outside the door, asked to see him and said he has something important to report."

Wei Zhongxian who had just stood up had no choice but to sit down again.

"Let him in."

After a while, Sun Yunhe came in, followed by a group of servants carrying boxes, who lay down on the ground and saluted as soon as they entered the door.

"Godfather, the little one should be damned, it disturbed the dream of godfather."

"Get up."

Wei Zhongxian understood Sun Yunhe's purpose when he saw the box, so he didn't get angry at all.

"Come to give money?"

"Yes godfather, the younger one has prepared 3 taels of silver. It's just a respect for godfather."

"The filial piety is exempted, and the interest is indispensable to you. Go back, our family is going to rest."

"Retire, little one."

As soon as Sun Yunhe walked through the gate, he ran into Li Kuilong, Wen Xuan's doctor, who was waiting outside the gate.

"Hey~ isn't this Li Yushi? It's so late? What's the point of coming to your godfather's house?"

"Humph! Asking for the sake of knowing."

"Ha ha."

Sun Yunhe smiled and walked away.

There is not only a cooperative relationship between the same parties, but also competition between them.It is not an easy task to win Nine Thousand Years' favor. Every day, I don't know how many people rack their brains to climb the big tree of Nine Thousand Years.

Originally, many people thought that the new emperor would liquidate the eunuchs, but they didn't expect that there was no movement. Recently, it was reported that the Lord Long Live trusted Nine Thousand Years.It disappointed the people who wanted to bring down Wei Zhongxian, and it also made a group of eunuchs who were a little nervous put their hearts back in their stomachs.

That night, Wei Zhongxian basically didn't bother to sleep.

The people who came to see him didn't stop all night, all with the same purpose.

Send money.

These people didn't dare to come here openly during the day, and they all came here secretly at night.

In the early morning, Wei Zhongxian entered the palace after breakfast served by several maids, and met Zhu Youjian.

"Is the factory minister overworked? Why is he looking so bad?"

Seeing Wei Zhongxian's sleepy look, Zhu Youjian asked curiously.

"Long live, I was busy raising funds for the mirror workshop yesterday, so I took a rest late."

"Oh? How much silver did you raise?"

"Long live, before the old slave came, the total was 78 taels. After deducting the first month's interest, there is still 75 taels."

"Hmm what? 78 taels? Silver?"

Zhu Youjian stood up from the chair and looked at Wei Zhongxian in surprise.

"The factory minister is serious?"

"How dare the old slave deceive Long Live."

"It's all silver?"

"Part of it is banknotes."

"All in cash. Continue raising."

"Yes, the old slave is retiring."

After speaking, Wei Zhongxian withdrew.

Zhu Youjian was a little emotional. He underestimated Wei Zhongxian's appeal, and also underestimated the power of the Ponzi scheme, the ancestor of all deceptions in later generations.

Overnight, more than 70 taels of silver!
Is Daming short of money?

lack!
It is the people at the bottom and the imperial court who are short of money.There is no shortage of rich princes and nobles, no shortage of ministers who sell their officials and titles, no shortage of salt merchants who sell private salt, and no shortage of gentry who invade their fields.

At this time, rich people like to hoard things.Produce more food, eat less, hoard it.Earn more money, spend less, and hoard it.

Especially the princes and nobles hoarded a lot of silver like a pervert.

As for the future.

Thanks to all the veterans for helping me hoard the money!

After Wei Zhongxian left, he summoned Lu Jiude, the eunuch who was also loyal to him in history.

"I'm going to reopen the West Factory, will you take on the post of admiral?"

"what?"

Lu Jiude was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect such a good thing to happen to him.Then he knelt on the ground in surprise and said happily:

"Slaves take orders!"

"Don't be too happy. Now there are Wei Zhongxian's cronies inside and outside the court. Your actions will be hindered at every turn. You can use more people who have been persecuted by the Wei Party. I want you to secretly trace the civil and military properties of the DPRK and China and strictly prevent the transfer of assets.

"Slaves will definitely serve their lives with all their might."

As soon as Lu Jiude went out, an internal servant reported that Cao Huachun outside the palace asked to see him.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian was pleasantly surprised and said:
"Let him in!"

As soon as Cao Huachun entered the room, he lay down on the ground and shouted sincerely:

"Your Majesty, I thought I would never see Your Majesty again in this life!" As he said this, he started crying.

Cao Huachun almost grew up watching Zhu Youjian grow up. Since Wei Zhongxian expelled him from the capital during the Tianqi period, he has not seen Zhu Youjian for seven years. Seeing his former master summon him, the long-standing grievances and elated joy are in his heart Shocked, I burst into tears.

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian quickly ordered someone to help him up.

"Cao Banban, I miss you very much too. Now that you come back just in time, there is a heavy burden for you, do you dare to bear it?"

"Slaves will die!"

"Okay! What I want is your words! I want to promote you to be the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor."

Cao Huachun didn't expect that he would be so highly valued when he just returned to Beijing, he couldn't speak out his excitement, and kowtowed on the ground.

Zhu Youjian stopped him, and said again:
"I order you to rectify the four guards of Tengxiang, and train a group of excellent soldiers who can recruit and fight for me. The monthly salary is doubled, and all expenses are drawn from internal funds. The new army is called the Yongwei Battalion. I only have one request, and I want it It is absolutely elite! Absolutely loyal! Can it be done?"

"The servant will definitely live up to the high expectations of Long Live!"

During this period of time, Zhu Youjian was shopping around to recycle things, there are too many treasures in the palace! The accumulation of more than 200 years is stored here.

Some calligraphy and paintings that were supposed to be of high value were identified by the system as counterfeit and of low value.

On the contrary, necklaces and rings made of natural materials are of great value.Among them is a pair of ice-grown snowflake cotton jadeite bracelets, and the recycling price has reached more than 800 million!
Even if you pick up things that are not very eye-catching to recycle, Duoduo has accumulated more than 9000 million in the wallet during this period.Now that he has money, he urgently needs an elite soldier who is completely loyal to him, otherwise he always feels uneasy.

The news that Wei Zhongxian had a profitable project spread like wildfire in the capital.

At first, it was just the injection of funds from the eunuch party, but then the news got out from nowhere, and some relatives came to him with money.

Wait until they confirm the authenticity of the news.

There was an uproar in the entire capital.

Everyone is talking about Wei Zhongxian's project!People everywhere are looking for connections to give Wei Zhongxian the money in their hands.

Even some people who had enemies with Wei Zhongxian in the past injected capital crazily in the name of others.

Those who have grudges will have grudges, and those who have money but do not make money are fools.

Just like that, Wei Zhongxian was so annoyed by people from all walks of life that he didn't sleep well at night.

But when I think of Long live's trust in me, I feel full of fighting spirit!
