    On the Dongzhimen side of the capital, the huge whale could not enter the city because the gate was too small. In addition, Zhu Houzhao's goal had been achieved, so he followed Emperor Hongzhi's advice and dismembered the big whale directly on the Dongzhimen side.  , and sold on site.

    There is no doubt that the scene is extremely popular. The many legends about whales have made whales a very popular object, whether it is the whale skin that can make a person fly ninety thousand miles, or the legendary thing that can rejuvenate a kilometer eunuch,  Or whale bones, which don't do much at all, etc.

    Everything on the whale was sought after, and young and old men in the capital competed with each other to bid for it. Now it is so popular that this big whale was sold for a sky-high price of more than 50,000 taels of silver.

    After all, this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It is home to all the dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty. There are countless rich people, and the consumption power is naturally not comparable to that of Tianjin.

    "Dad, let's get a few whaling ships and go out to sea to hunt whales. After all, it won't be difficult to make a million taels of silver this year."

    On the way back to the palace, Zhu Houzhao suggested to Emperor Hongzhi with a playful smile.

    "You are the prince, how come you are only thinking about business affairs in your head?"

    When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he frowned slightly. He was a person who was extremely influenced by Confucianism. The education he received from an early age was also the classic way of kings, such as ruling the country with benevolence and righteousness, and leveling the world with filial piety. For Zhu Houzhao, he would always mention it.  Silver, I really don¡¯t like it.

    "Dad, Old Liu, also known as Liu Jin, once said that the most critical aspect of governing the country is the economy. No matter what our court does, we need money. Money is needed to pay officials, and money is needed to pay generals in border towns. This  Relieving victims is also indispensable."

    "This money is not everything, but it is absolutely impossible to have no money. Sometimes money is much better than our words."

    Zhu Houzhao didn¡¯t take it seriously. He now knows the charm of money, so he is also very interested in making money. Now that he has money, he can do whatever he wants without looking at other people¡¯s faces.

    "Go back and ask Liu Jin to leave a few ships for me."

    Although Emperor Hongzhi wanted to find a bunch of reasons to refute Zhu Houzhao, but after thinking about his own situation, he found that no emperor in history was poorer than himself. He was frugal and was criticized by the ministers every day.  .

    After working hard and frugally for more than ten years, I saved millions of silver. Then I just made a briquette with Liu Jin and made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a year.

    As for Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin, they just set up a glass factory and easily made millions of taels of silver in a few months. At first, it was just to go to sea to find good seeds. The fleet had not yet gone to Huanghuangzhou, but only went to the Golden Continent.  He traveled to North Korea and brought back millions of taels of silver for Emperor Hongzhi's internal funds.

    He now understands that this money cannot be saved. Although it is important to save money, it is more important to increase revenue and have his own profitable business, so that there will be a steady flow of money into his internal funds.  .

    So when Zhu Houzhao heard that the whaling business could earn a million taels of silver a year, he thought about it and said, after all, the emperor is still poor and lacks money.

    "Hmm~"

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately laughed. Although he was willful, he was very smart. He knew that his father, Emperor Hongzhi, was a man who was short of money and lived frugally. In many cases, his living standard was not as good as that of ordinary wealthy businessmen and businessmen.  The gentry, at least these wealthy businessmen and gentry, all had three wives and four concubines, but Emperor Hongzhi only had one wife.

    "Is Liu Jin still in Tianjin?"

    Emperor Hongzhi heard Zhu Houzhao mention Liu Jin and asked after thinking about it.

    "No, he has also returned to Beijing this time. He was behind me just now. He must have gone back to his own house now."

    Zhu Houzhao looked behind him habitually and found that the carriage Liu Jin was riding in had already disappeared.

    "Bring him to see me later. I have many things I want to ask him."

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded, thought about it and said.

    "OkayDad, let me tell you, the scenery in the sea is actually very beautiful, especially at sunset and sunrise, when the water and the sky meet, everything is red"

    While walking towards the palace, Zhu Houzhao also happily talked to Emperor Hongzhi about his experience of going to sea this time. When he talked about this, his whole body was very happy, and what he said was eloquent.

    And Emperor Hongzhi also knew how his son was feeling, so he also??Listen quietly and ask questions about things that interest you from time to time.

    "There are many whales in the sea, and there are often hundreds of whales in a whale group. This whale is different from ordinary fish. It cannot breathe in the water, so every time it breathes, it has to surface and spray  A huge water column protrudes out, and when hundreds of whales breathe at the same time, hundreds of water columns will rise from the entire sea surface, and some of these water columns can be more than ten meters high, which is very spectacular."

    ""

    On the other hand, as soon as Liu Jin arrived in the capital, he naturally walked around in a big circle. The Dongzhimen side was blocked and couldn't get in. He was not in the mood to go to Dongzhimen to see the dismembered whales, so he also walked around in a circle and started from Xizhimen.  Entering the capital here.

    Liu Jin also owned his own mansion in the capital. He spent a lot of money to buy it. It was a large courtyard with three entrances. The location was also very good. It was close to the imperial city. However, after buying this courtyard, Liu Jin rarely had it.  Time to stay here.

    Originally, when I was in the capital, I was usually busy here in Xishan, so I always lived here in Xishan. Later, when I went to Tianjin, I didn¡¯t need it anymore. In total, I only lived here for a few days.

    After returning to his home, the first thing Liu Jin did was to have a good sleep.

    Following Zhu Houzhao back to the capital slowly, Liu Jin hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days. Although the carriage was comfortable, it was too noisy outside and he couldn't sleep at all. While he was swaying around, his whole state was in a terrible state.

    Liu Jin slept until noon the next day.

    ¡°Smelly boy, stinky boy~¡±

    When Liu Jin was still in a daze, the British Duke Zhang Mao, who had just left the morning court, hurried to Liu Jin's house. Without any scruples, he walked directly to Liu Jin's bedroom, walking  He also yelled out.

    "It's better for you, kid. You've been sleeping until noon."

    When he came to Liu Jin's bedroom, he saw that Liu Jin was still sleeping soundly. The British Duke Zhang Mao couldn't help but said with envy that he had to get up early every day to go to the morning court, and he rarely had the chance to sleep until noon.

    "Mr. Zhang, you just went to court, right?"

    Liu Jin got up lazily. This old Zhang was getting more and more over the top. He almost regarded this place as his own home. He went straight to his bedroom when he came in. It seemed that he was going to find a wife, so no one would dare to disturb him in the future.  He slept alone, this bachelor has no human rights.

    "Yes, I heard yesterday that your boy has returned to Beijing, so I will come to see you in the morning."

    "Hurry up, dress up, dress up, and follow me."

    Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin's appearance, couldn't help but smiled and shook his head.

    "what?"

    Liu Jin asked with some confusion.

    "What are you doing? I'm taking you on a blind date. I've promised you a long time ago that I will introduce you to our ladies as soon as you return to the capital. I, Lao Zhang, talk like a stick, and I mean what I say. Hurry up, hurry up.  "

    Zhang Mao also sighed as he spoke: "For your kid's sake, I risked my old face. I asked all over the capital for you who has girls to marry, and I have already identified several for you, but  Whether your kid has this blessing depends on your own destiny."

    Hearing what Lao Zhang said, Liu Jin immediately became energetic. Lao Zhang was so interesting that he actually took this matter to heart. Thinking of this, Liu Jin quickly became numb.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
