Lin Jing was unsure, looked at Zhang Da and said, "What does Eunuch Zhang want to get?"
Zhang Da picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said, "Okay, I want 10% of your business."
"That's it?" Lin Jing checked Zhang Da, but he still didn't know what drugs Zhang Da Hulu sold.
"That's right." Zhang Da said with a smile.
Lin Jing's eyes were calm and his heart was wandering rapidly. Zhang Da's sudden admission made Lin Jing very suspicious and speculated that there was a trap inside.
However, if Tianqi really wants to see Lin Jing, it will undoubtedly help Lin Jing's current situation. This will deter some people and bring huge benefits.
Lin Jing thought for a long time, looked at Zhang Da, and said: "I will become a private salt company. If 10% is included, I will pay dividends at the end of the year."
Zhang Da frowned, looking dissatisfied.
Although the private salt has been made public and no one cares, how can it be "illegal", and Lin Jing is obviously using him and adding him in. Who dares to cause trouble?
He is a close friend of the emperor and a former Su Xun weaving admiral. Does he deserve to succeed?
But Zhang Da also understood that Lin Jing did not believe him.
Zhang Da looked at the alertness in Lin Jing's eyes, smiled, and said, "Okay, let's see how much money Yushi Lin can earn in a year."
Lin Jing said: "The deposit is one hundred thousand taels, but I will compensate the less than one hundred thousand."
Lin Jing said that with 500,000 kinds of rock salt, Yang Nansi will purchase 300,000 Lin Kee per year, compared with all previous prices of 100,000 Lin Kee.
This time, Zhang Da was surprised. One hundred thousand was not a small amount. Before getting one hundred thousand taels, he had already copied seven or eight large families in Su Xun. This Lin Jing'an just opened his mouth?
Zhang Da immediately wanted to know how much profit Lin Jing received from the salt merchants?
Zhang Da blinked and looked at Lin Jing, smiled and said, "Then our family would like to thank Lin Yushi for his kindness."
Lin Jing smiled, picked up the teapot and refilled it.
Wei Hongming sat between the two of them and listened to their conversation. There was nothing strange on their faces, but deep in their hearts.
Wei Hongming has a certain understanding of Lin Jing. Don't look at Lin Jing, who seems to be pedantic at ordinary times, but is actually very stingy. You must register for two to five gold coins. If you can save it, you can save it. Now, open
Mouth, give Zhang Da 100,000. The salt merchant is very talented. Give him 50,000!
Zhang Da drank the tea poured by Lin Jing again, stood up and said: "Okay, everything that should be said is done. One day, my father is ready, please tell me, and I will lead him to see the emperor.
"
Lin Jing stood up politely and said, "I have a father-in-law. I will send him away."
Zhang Da stopped and said, "No, our family's secrets come from this place. We cannot tell outsiders that our family has colluded with the imperial court."
This sentence is nonsense. With Wei Zhongxian, who dares to mention this crime?
But Lin Jing smiled more and said: "That's what my father-in-law said."
Zhang Da seemed to have seen the one hundred thousand taels of silver Lin Jing gave him, with a smile on his face. He glanced at Wei Hongming even more cautiously, turned around and walked downstairs.
After Zhang Da left, Wei Hongming turned to Lin Jing and said, "Do you really want to give him one hundred thousand? That's one hundred thousand taels!"
Lin Jing picked up the tea cup and said, "I hope he will have the courage to pick it up by then."
Wei Hongming didn't know Lin Jing, but he knew that Lin Jing would never give it to him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good. By the way, forget about business. Tian Ergeng encountered trouble in Luzhou and won't do it again."
I'm back, so don't worry."
"Luzhou? What happened in Luzhou? Lin Jing was confused. Meeting Tian Ergeng was certainly not an easy task.
Wei Hongming said: "I don't know the specific details. It seems that a county sheriff has been hiding among the bandits, and many people have been involved."
The county magistrate is hiding among the bandits. This is called an uprising. This is a rebellion!
If you wish, you must involve provincial people and even the military and political factions of the imperial court.
The current political view of Ming Dynasty is that no matter how big the matter is, it will eventually become a court battle.
Before the Donglin faction came into effect, various teams fell into chaos. The Donglin faction dominated the court, and there were endless internal fights among the Donglin faction; the eunuch faction rose, which was the chaos between the two factions of the eunuch faction and Donglin faction.
.The eunuchs dominated the court, and the internal fighting among the eunuchs was endless.
Lin Jing knew that the court would become active again and was too lazy to bother, so he said to Wei Hongming: "Guangling can't leave. You go to Yunzhou and find a suitable salt field. We can't rely on those people to collect salt."
Lin Jing was actually looking for reasons to send Wei Hongming out of the capital to protect his future.
Wei Hongming didn't want to leave the capital anymore. He picked up the knife, stood up and said, "I'll let others do it. By the way, I have other things. Let's go."
Lin Jing looked at him, he ran away, frowned, and didn't stop.
Now not only Wei Hongming, he also has to figure out a way to remove the eunuch label, otherwise he will be unlucky.
Lin Jing left Lin Ji in the evening and returned to Lin Mansion.
At the dinner table, Lin Qingzheng heard the news that Tianqi wanted to see him. His face was startled and he said, "Really?"
Being summoned only by the Emperor is an honor that also has many unusual meanings.
Lin Jing did not elaborate on Zhang Da's role. He said: "Well, in the past two days, internal monitors have revealed this news."
Lin Qingzheng looked at Lin Jing with a strange expression and remained silent for a long time.
None of them knew that Tian Qi had been to the Lin Mansion and read Lin Qingzheng's secret confession. Lin Qingzheng was surprised that Lin Jing had received the message from the internal monitor in advance.
He couldn't help but be surprised by this second son, how ordinary people had done these things in the past few months!
Lin Zhong didn't think so. He looked at Lin Qingzheng and said in surprise: "Father, the emperor wants to see you, he must reuse you!"
Lin Qingzheng looked at him silently.
He has no achievements and his status is not high enough. Why does the emperor want to see him for no reason?
Considering this, Lin Qingzheng turned his attention to Lin Jing again.
Lin Jing seemed to know, shook his head and said: "I don't know the inside story either."
Lin Qingzheng looked at him deeply, then suddenly stood up and said: "You guys eat."
Lin Jing and Lin Zhong were both surprised and looked at Lin Qingzheng before they left.
Lin Zhong looked at Lin Jing and said, "It's time to take a shower." "I won't eat anymore, you can eat."
Lin Jing looked at his back, moved in his heart, and said to himself: "It's time to help you solve this problem."
Lin Jing took a quick bite and left the restaurant to go back to his study.
The next day, Lin Jing wandered around Linji, Nanxi Pavilion, etc. After lunch, he came to a small courtyard in the south of the city.
