It has been more than two months since Zhao Xing had to go back, not only because he missed homesickness, but also because two months later, Emperor Chongzhen was the chief exam, and the Northern Enke, who was the deputy exam himself, was about to start. He had to go back and make preparations in advance, because the chief exam was only named and would not arrange any detailed work in person.

He left sufficient reserve supplies and money for Dongjiang Town, urging Mao Zhongming to train an elite soldier as soon as possible according to his own standards. Because he knew that just next year, Huang Taiji took advantage of the opportunity that Dalinghe City had not been fully repaired and would siege Dalinghe City. In the end, after eating up all the people in the city, Zu Dashou saw that reinforcements were hopeless, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and threw away the bridgehead of Dalinghe River, allowing Huang Taiji to gain a firm foothold in western Liaoning, and further strengthened the military pressure on the Ming Dynasty.

He hoped that Mao Zhongming could train a 50,000 elite soldier and general, and then when Huang Taiji sent troops to Dalinghe, he rushed to Chenyang, the old nest of Huang Taiji, and rescued Zu Dashou like his former godfather Mao Wenlong.

When the small fleet of three ships of copper coins leaned on the Tianjin Wharf, Guo Guangsheng and Zhao Zi who came to greet him fell off in surprise. He really didn't know why Zhao Xing had made such a large amount of copper coins in this short time, and such exquisite copper coins.

Zhao Xing didn't have the opportunity to talk to him about his hard work during this period, so he immediately called Qian Qiancheng: "Qiancheng, it's time for you to stand alone."

Qian Qiancheng was excited, but his face was still calm, and he was just waiting respectfully for the adult's arrangement.

"I set up a steel factory, an arsenal, and a mint on Pi Island. Although these three places are a creation, I have left them with plenty of room for development. This is our family and our lifeblood. So, I send you and your Qianhu brothers to go back immediately on these three boats and settle in Pi Island."

Qian Qiancheng immediately raised his chest and raised his head and answered the order loudly.

"You have three tasks. The first is to watch the Mao brothers for me. Once they have a different intention, they will resolutely eradicate them; the second is to watch our foundation. No matter who wants to get involved, they must chop up his hands. Even if the court sends officials to the court, they will resolutely chop up their hands."

"I understand." Qian Qiancheng nodded firmly.

"There is a third one. If Huang Taiji spared no effort to attack Pi Island and occupied Pi Island, you must completely blow up these three industries without hesitation. You must not leave a little for Jiannu. Remember."

This is very important. This thing that exceeds the times must not fall into the hands of Jiannu. It will have disastrous consequences for the Han people. At that time, I will become the biggest sinner of the Han family.

Qian Qiancheng nodded solemnly: "Once things are so decayed, there will be only a pile of ruins buried under his subordinates."

With a complicated mood, he watched Qian Qiancheng and his brother board the three big ships and disappeared under the sea level. It took a long time before Zhao Xing returned to the capital.

According to the rules, officials cannot go home first when they return to Beijing. They must wait for the emperor to summon them before they can do their own things.

When Zhao Xing sent the book he had invited, Chongzhen did not respond, so Zhao Xing, who was eager to return home, wrote another memorial, telling him that he had brought back a total of 1 million taels of silver coins.

The effect of money was immediate, and Chongzhen immediately ordered him to enter the palace with a sample of copper coins.

While wrapping the sample of copper coins with a handkerchief, Zhao Xing shook his head and smiled helplessly: "This is really money that can make the devil push the grinding. As long as you have money, your work efficiency will be rising rapidly."

For the sake of money, Zhao Xing was once again arranged to meet Chongzhen in the imperial study room.

When they met Chongzhen, Zhao Xing reported on his reopening of Dongjiang Town. Of course, they should say it, and to the point where they should not say it, they should not say it, and they would not say it if they should not say it. As for the leaking news, it did not exist when Zhao Xing mastered the Jinyiwei.

"I have arranged a thousand households to enter Dongjiang Town and strictly monitor the descendants of the Mao family. I have ordered the most loyal thousand households to kill them if there is any abnormal movement in the Mao family."

Faced with Zhao Xing's careful arrangement, Chongzhen was very satisfied, and then he couldn't help but sigh: "If Mao Shuai had left his family in the capital, if he had accepted the Jinyiwei and the eunuchs' military supervising the island, why would something else happen? Now, the monarch and ministers will not doubt it from now on, and the monarch and ministers will have a good result." When Chongzhen said this, his eyes were looking at Zhao Xing.

The meaning was obviously to hit him: "Don't always doubt me, because you often say outside that you should send your mother and sister to the south. If you really dare to do that, I will kill you now."

Of course, Zhao Xing understood that Chongzhen was pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man, so he followed the regret and sighed, but cursed in his heart: "In this damn feudal society, you are only allowed to kill the donkey, and donkeys are not allowed to strike halfway. Where can I reason about it?

Fortunately, Chongzhen did not talk much about this matter. After praising and affirming Zhao Xing's achievements in forcing North Korea to return and rebuild Dongjiang Town, he said that his most concerned thing was, "This time it's not silver, but copper coins?" Chongzhen asked.

Zhao Xing carefully put the money in front of Chongzhen: "The biggest use of silver is to circulate among medium-sized and above families and merchants. The common people below are still mainly copper coins. Therefore, I borrowed a million-dollar silver brass in North Korea and opened a coin minting field on Pidao. While finding a way out for the laborers in Dongjiang Town, I cast this batch of copper coins."

Chongzhen was not angry about Zhao Xing's opening of a mint, because in his cognition, minting coins is a loss. Since you, Zhao Xing, like to jump into the fire pit, you are just asking for it.

I held the exquisite copper coins and looked at them for a long time, and felt very satisfied: "Yes, this is the conscientious coins, but they are much better than the officials of the black-hearted coin minting department. As long as your coin minting department persists, your copper coins will be able to pass the world and benefit the people. At that time, I will miss you."

The reason why he was so relieved was that Chongzhen was really afraid that Zhao Xing would give up because of losing money. How could this lonely minister and this sucker go without going into it?

Fang Zhenghua smiled and said, "This copper coin is different from other copper coins. The slave believes that it can be called copper or copper plate."

Zhao Xing replied with a smile: "Eunuch Fang is indeed a clear understanding. The lower official is called this, it is a copper plate."

Chongzhen laughed and said, "Tonight, I will give me a hundred copper eggs."

Fang Zhenghua smiled and reminded: "Long live, according to the Royal Seating Room, the price of eggs has increased again, and it has increased to one thousand copper plates." This is a kind reminder. According to the comparison between this copper plate and silver, an egg is at least one tael or two coins.

Zhao Xing was not surprised because there was an allusion that Emperor Guangxu, who grew up in the deep palace, once complained to his teacher Weng Tonghe, "The eggs on the market are too expensive now, and it has reached one or two silver taels per piece, and I really can't afford it." At that time, Weng Tonghe knew that the eggs on the market only cost 3 copper coins, but he understood even more that the tens of thousands of palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were counting on this egg to make a living, so he smiled and said, "Yes, so the old minister can only be willing to eat these few during the Mid-Autumn Festival." This is called seeing through but not talking about it. This is kindness and wisdom.

I looked at Chongzhen. In fact, when I was a child, he often went out to the palace to play, he didn't know the real price of the egg, but today he showed a faint smile: "It doesn't matter, Zhao Aiqing brought me countless copper plates. I will eat a few eggs tonight, and I will have fun."

From this point of view, the word "meaning" has not been engraved on Chongzhen.
