As soon as Liu Jin entered the British Palace, he could feel that the entire British Palace was filled with sadness and solemnity. The old Duke, who was already in his seventies, was about to die. The servants in the palace walked carefully for fear of If something bad happens at this time, I still don¡¯t know how I will die.
"Mr. Liu!"
When Liu Jin arrived, Zhang Mao¡¯s grandson Zhang Lun came to greet him personally.
"Brother Zhang~"
"Mr. Zhang, how is he doing?"
Seeing Zhang Lun, Liu Jin also asked with concern.
Liu Jin and Zhang Lun are old acquaintances, and they are about the same age, so they have more topics in common.
"Oh, the situation is very bad. I coughed up blood last night."
¡°Professors and doctors from Daming Medical College and Tai Hospital were invited over. After looking at it, they all said that there was no way to save the life and that we had to prepare for the funeral.¡±
Zhang Lun said with red eyes.
His father passed away early, and he was brought up by his grandfather Zhang Mao. The relationship between grandfather and grandson is very deep. Although Zhang Mao has always been very strict with him, this also made Zhang Lun a promising person. People are not like other second-generation ancestors who are lazy, lazy and uneducated.
His performance in the Royal Military Academy and the army was remarkable. He was originally going to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the Western Expedition this time, but because Zhang Mao was in poor health and had to stay at home to fulfill his filial piety, he missed it. This is a good opportunity to make a difference.
Of course, judging from the situation of their British government, it has reached its extreme, and there is no longer a great need for making achievements.
"Hmm~"
Liu Jin nodded slightly.
It is already the winter of the twenty-seventh year of Hongzhi. If we calculate the time, Zhang Mao died of illness in the beginning of the tenth year of Zhengde. If we calculate the time, it is the beginning of the twenty-eighth year of Hongzhi. In other words, he may only have a few years old. It's been months.
Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh.
Time flies, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it will be twenty years since I traveled back through time.
Zhang Mao is quite good to himself. His career can be so smooth, and Zhang Mao's contribution is indispensable for this. This time zon*g yiwx.com Zhang Si
At the beginning, Zhang Mao made the decision so that he could take away two beauties at once. Xu Waner went to the mansion of Dingguo Gong, the top wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty. She was the granddaughter of Xu Yongning, Dingguo Gong. Li Zhen was also born in a famous family and was the granddaughter of Li Hui, the minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Being able to marry two beauties at once, both from top wealthy families, was indispensable because Zhang Mao personally acted as a matchmaker.
"Otherwise, even if Liu Jin is the number one scholar and is handsome, it is impossible for two wealthy families to marry you at the same time.
Liu Jin relied on marrying a wife, and at the same time he had close ties with the Ming Dynasty's noble group and civil servant group.
Therefore, when Representative Liu Jin went to war, he was able to convince his generals because the influence of Duke Dingguo and Duke Ying in the military was unparalleled.
When Liu Jin was a civil servant, he was able to rise rapidly. In addition to his own talent and the appreciation of Emperor Hongzhi, Li Hui also provided a lot of help. With his presence, he gained more support and was able to be promoted quickly. , in his thirties, he was already a cabinet minister and chief minister.
The officialdom is like this. Ability is very important. Appreciation from the superiors and a strong enough relationship are also indispensable. Without these, it is not easy to rise to the top.
Liu Jin has always been very grateful to Zhang Mao, and he also gave a lot of rewards. Many businesses were brought to Zhang Mao, which also made such a British government not only extremely noble, but also wealthy. The wealth in the world is so huge that it is difficult to count.
?????????????????????????????: If any industry comes out, it is an extremely huge industry, and it is a big business that earns millions of taels of silver every year.
In addition, there are shares in the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty, which is a priceless treasure. As the only bank in the Ming Dynasty that legally issues banknotes and coins, the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty has business all over the world, and the amount of money it passes every year is unimaginable.
Just being the only legal issuing bank of silver notes and silver coins was enough for the Zhang family to not have to worry about having no money. With the Ming Dynasty's banknotes flowing smoothly all over the world, even merchants from various European countries, nobles and merchants of the Ottoman Empire. When they are all being used, just printing banknotes every year can earn a huge amount of wealth. Appropriate inflation is completely acceptable.
Just like the green coins of later generations, huge amounts of wealth can be plundered from the world by printing money every year. 强牺 &am??Have money. "
"I'm also worried about some things for you. You should know the principle of prosperity and decline, and the moon waxing and waning since ancient times." At this time y*un*xuan*ge .or*g Zhang Si
Zhang Mao¡¯s words were actually very euphemistic, but the meaning was expressed clearly enough.
In fact, it is to tell Liu Jin that he must retreat from the rapids immediately, otherwise he may not end well in the future.
"Mr. Zhang, I know. I know even if you don't tell me. Moreover, I have been thinking about this matter and how I can retreat safely."
"When I'm at this point, I'm already on the sword, and I'll be dead if I'm not careful."
Hearing Zhang Mao¡¯s words, Liu Jin thought about it and nodded.
"It's good that you know that today's emperor is talented, generous and kind, and is a rare holy king throughout the ages. However, everything is constantly changing, and many things are difficult to say."
"If you know it yourself, I will be relieved." Zhi Da Zhi Xiao
Zhang Mao was able to say such things to Liu Jin, which obviously meant that Liu Jin was very close to him, otherwise it would have been absolutely impossible for him to say these things.
This is also the reason why Zhang Mao asked everyone else to go down, because these words must not be spread.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang for the reminder, I will keep it in mind!"
Liu Jin nodded solemnly and kept Zhang Mao's words in mind. Zhang Mao was definitely a wise man, so his words should be kept in mind
