Seeing the five scholars under him, Zhu Hongsan sighed secretly. There was no one, and these were obtained by his cheating for more than ten years. Although they were all talented, they could not be regarded as one hundred people. It seems that introducing local literati is an important task at present.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan asked: "Second brother, how many local literati in Guangdong are under our command now, and the best ones have ever been an official."

Ma Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "There are no officials at all, but there are a few literati. But the most educated scholars are scholars, and there are more than a dozen children. Juren don't come at all. I have sent letters to several famous local literati. The reply letter was very tactful and I have to wait to take the exam."

Zhu Hongsan cursed: "What the hell is going to test? What kind of idiots are pretending to be so stupid. I am so anxious that I will lead my troops to burn their house."

Zhu Hongsan's words basically cursed all the literati present. Erma, Feng and Xu were all Jinshis, Ma Mingyuan's ranking in the palace examination was not low, Gong Dacheng was a juren, Tong Yangjia was a scholar, and they were all ruling classes.

When everyone heard Zhu Hongsan cursing intellectuals here, his face was not very natural. The others were fine. Xu Dali was a priest of the scholar class. He stood up and said, "Your Highness of the King of Chu, you can't say that scholars. The imperial examination is the right way for a scholar. On the contrary, the King of Chu is a side door."

Zhu Hongsan's face turned green with anger. Is this a side door? He will give you Xu Dali a magistrate. You can go to the right path to see who can be your magistrate?

But you can't say this in person. Zhu Hongsan still needs these stinky old Jiu's help now. He has fewer staff, so he is angry and has finished his journey.

Zhu Hongsan held back his anger and said, "What Lord Xu said is that I am Meng Lang."

When Xu Dali saw Zhu Hongsan admit his mistake, he nodded and sat down.

Zhu Hongsan continued, "Let's do this, everyone should go to other places to become officials. When you go to the local area, you must visit capable scholars and recommend them to me more."

Ma Mingyuan felt that this was the only way to do it at the moment and said, "That's all."

Zhu Hongsan said, "I'll be here today. Let's go back and prepare. Second brother, I'll withdraw 2,000 taels of silver for each gentleman as funds. In the past few days, everyone will come up with a feasible plan. We will hold a meeting in five days. I'll hear what you'll arrange. Governor Feng, who should be able to go to Zhaoqing at the end of September. When you meet, you can take office after you've seen him." He stood up and bowed to say goodbye.

Just as Ma Mingyuan was about to leave, Zhu Hongsan said, "Second brother, wait a moment."

Ma Mingyuan turned around and asked, "Is there anything else to do with your lord?"

Zhu Hongsan said: "Second brother tell me how much money we have?"

Ma Mingyuan said: "Now we have two main incomes. One is the income of the steel mill, which sells kitchen knives, axes, plows and other iron products every month. Our products are cheap and beautiful, and are very popular in the Guangdong-Guangdong generation. These can earn 50,000 taels of silver every month.

The second income comes from the Dongguan Development Zone. The dock is now busy with business, and more than 40 merchant ships dock every day. However, we have not collected commercial taxes at the dock yet. Didn’t the lord put forward a two-year tax exemption? Now the development zone mainly makes money by selling land.

Now one acre of land in Dongguan city has increased to 1,000 taels of silver, which may not be possible. The lord left behind thousands of acres of land in the south city at that time. Last month, I sold 200 acres and made a profit of 200,000 taels of silver. This is the big part of the income."

Zhu Hongsan said in his heart: "This is of course. I used to be a land acquisition and demolition, and this routine is too simple."

Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said, "Sir, don't release a large amount of land. If there is too much of this thing, the price will naturally drop. There is also the next step to buy the land outside the city through the development office. Take it slowly and don't make a big fuss. Be careful that those who are interested will know the news."

Ma Mingyuan's eyes lit up. Could it be that he has another chance to get rich? When Zhu Hongsan's advisers occupied the land in the development zone, Zhu Hongsan each left them 100 acres of land, which is 100,000 yuan in silver, which is still the current price. It will not be a problem to double it in a few years.

Zhu Hongsan continued: "The land in Dongguan County is now tight, and I will set up a commodity trading market outside the city next year and the next. There will be more money at that time."

Ma Mingyuan said: "How much land should you occupy?"

Zhu Hongsan said: "First collect 200,000 acres."

Ma Mingyuan was shocked. If the current price of 200,000 acres was 20 million, the Ming Dynasty treasury would have much money.

Seeing Ma Mingyuan's surprise, Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Second brother, don't be surprised. Now there are silver in the Ming Dynasty. Look at the rich people in the countryside who don't have 18,000 silver, and who is rich in Guangzhou City, who doesn't have 10,000 yuan worth 100,000 yuan worth 100,000 yuan. This is still in Guangdong. If it were in the wealthy Nanzhili, a town buried under a town with 70,000 taels of silver, and 70,000 to 80,000 taels. What we have to do is to tempt them to take out the silver and move it, so we will have money?"

Ma Mingyuan heard this theory for the first time and felt it was very fresh. But when he thought it was really the case, he didn't talk about others, even when his Ma family was in Wuchang County, Huguang, he buried 200,000 taels of silver in his yard.

Ma Mingyuan asked, "Lord, I don't understand one thing. What if they don't take out the money? We can't rob it, right?"

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Of course, you can't rob it. But you can't rob it openly, we can rob it secretly. We can declare that silver is prohibited from circulation, and we can only use the silver coins we issued. But their silver can be taken out for silver coins, so that all the silver will be released?"

Ma Mingyuan was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhu Hongsan was so shameless, which was even more cruel than robbing. Ma Mingyuan's family has been an official for two lifetimes, so he naturally knew that the quality of the silver in the people was different, and there was a fire consumption when paying taxes. If he really issued silver coins like Zhu Hongsan, the silver in the whole world would be just a fire consumption, which was an astronomical number.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Ma Mingyuan's appearance and contemptuously said, "It seems that the cognitive level of the ancients is just like this. This kind of small method surprised them like this. If I were to use the concept of the stock market, wouldn't he be scared?"

Ma Mingyuan recovered from his senses and asked, "Then can we use this method now?"

Zhu Hongsan said: "This thing is very powerful. If you use it well, you can double the national strength. If you use it well, you will end up with the destruction of the country. At this stage, we are not strong enough. We can only rely on buying land to ensure our normal operation. We don't need this thing first. In addition, there is not enough manpower now, so my second brother must first find talents who know how to make money and implement it step by step."

Ma Mingyuan nodded and went down after asking clearly that there was nothing to do.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the recorded Ma Shaoguang next to him, and his cheap brother-in-law, and asked, "Boyu, have you recorded it?"

Zhu Hong’s three secretary Ma Shaoguang said: “Your Majesty, you have recorded it.”

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Okay, you can sort it out and archive it according to year, month and day, just like I taught you."

Ma Shaoguang said, "Please rest assured, your lord."

Zhu Hongsan got up and left the house. He looked at the weather almost dinner time. He didn't expect that the meeting was held for a day today. He originally wanted to go to the industrial area. I don't know how Tieniu and the other three were doing. Now it seems that they are not available today, so let's talk about it tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan got up and returned to the backyard. After thinking about it, he thought about going to Zhu Youjia's yard first. When he went to the small yard, he saw that Zhu Youjia had moved away. It seemed that the housekeeper was doing things very quickly.

Zhu Hongsan found a servant to ask about Zhu Youjia's residence. Zhu Hongsan came outside the door of the new residence. This was a private courtyard with three houses inside.

Zhu Hongsan pushed the door and saw two maids cleaning in the yard. When the maid saw Zhu Hongsan coming, he saluted and said, "The master is here, the fifth lady is in the house."

Zhu Hongsan entered the house and saw Zhu Youjia feeding Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Youjia saw Zhu Hongsan coming and stood up to say hello. Zhu Hongsan nodded, looked at his daughter, and found that Zhu Youjia's breasts might be breastfeeding, and they became bigger than before.

Zhu Xiang fell asleep after she finished her breastfeeding. Just as Zhu Youjia was about to put on her clothes, Zhu Hongsan said, "Don't wear it first, let me touch it."

Zhu Youjia's face turned red, but she also stopped wearing clothes and let Zhu Hongsan be careless.

Zhu Hongsan was in a good mood today. Seeing Zhu Youjia's image as a cold beauty in the clothes, he wanted to get angry again. He pressed Zhu Youjia down and poked her.

After Zhu Hongsan vented, Zhu Youjia got up and served Zhu Hongsan to put on clothes. Zhu Hongsan said, "Lao Wu, go and inform me. I will live here tonight."
