Chapter 4, I have a time-space portal

The late emperor's burial must not be delayed; it is not winter now. If too much time passes, there will be an odor, which would be a great disrespect.

Due to the need to travel quickly, there were even traffic jams on the roads near the Forbidden City

Military officials ranked above the rank of guerrilla general and civil officials holding the position of fourth-grade governor or higher are qualified to wear the flying fish robe

It is the Eastern Forest Party, whose interests have been affected, that has vehemently attacked the various eunuchs stationed in different regions, who have procured private silver for the emperor

The revenue of the Ming court, since the death of Zhang Juzheng, has been like Wang Xiaoer celebrating the New Year, declining year after year

Wei Zhongxian felt a surge of joy in his heart and immediately bowed, saying, "This servant obeys the command"

Last night, a goldsmith was summoned, and he set up a furnace outside the sleeping quarters to begin melting gold ingots. After much effort, it was already past midnight.

Subsequently, Li Yunze resigned from his job, completed the necessary documentation, and went directly to the international metropolis, the Pearl of the Orient

When officials meet the emperor, it is referred to as an audience.

When only two people remained in the hall, Luo Yangxing indeed felt somewhat nervous

Li Yunze interrupted him, "What about the money from the Ministry of Revenue?"

Two kilograms of gold were exchanged for nearly 560,000 in cash, which is also the limit of the exchange

The current issue is that the Apocalypse Emperor has died, yet his mausoleum has not yet been completed

Today marks the first grand court assembly following the ascension of the new emperor, and no one dares to undermine the new emperor at such an important occasion; everyone is punctual.

Wang Cheng'en

It is impossible to have a bank account; if a large sum of money were to enter, well...

There is nothing more to say; he is undoubtedly a traitor to the Han dynasty.

Directly tied to the wrist, the finger-controlled mechanism boasts an astonishing penetrating power with three arrows fired simultaneously

If we were to slowly torment Wei Zhongxian, it would not be until March of the second year of Chongzhen that the case of "Wei the Traitor" would be considered settled

Subsequently, the remaining gold was sold at multiple pawn shops, resulting in over ten million in liquid funds

Wang Cheng'en immediately lowered his voice and replied, "In response to His Majesty, Luo Sigong said that he is too old and frail to serve His Majesty any longer"

Such a person

The Assistant Minister of the Honglu Temple officiates the ceremony: "Morning Court - Harmony - Diagram - Book"

In film and television dramas, the portrayal of meeting the emperor, whether it is referred to as an audience or a visit, is all nonsense

The financial sector is well-developed with numerous banks, making everything significantly more convenient.

Time-space trade, this is indeed a guaranteed windfall

Li Yunze raised an eyebrow and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. This old fellow has been in the Jinyiwei for so many years; he must have some insight. At this moment, he would not refuse me; he wouldn't do such a thing."

In addition, there are also revenues that are directly attributed to the internal treasury

Li Yunze had no mind to pay attention to Wei Zhongxian, and after hurriedly returning, he drove away those around him

The main gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony opened, and the officials entered the hall in order of their ranks.

How are things going on the side of the Jinyiwei

After Li Yunze returned, he immediately sought out Wang Cheng'en

Ultimately, it was the officials from the Ministry of Rites who first stepped forward to break this commotion

This sum of money primarily originates from various mineral resources, maritime trade taxes, canal tolls, and other sources.

This is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, which involves bestowing a posthumous title and temple name upon the late emperor. It is considered a final determination and is a necessary procedure that must be followed

In name, it is a machine guillotine, but in reality, once fitted with a handle, it becomes a sharp weapon

Li Yunze never considered doing things by himself

After finishing these tasks, Li Yunze took two gold bars weighing approximately one kilogram each and placed them into his travel bag before heading out to take a taxi to a pawn shop

Li Yunze smiled and nodded, "Help me with a task. Once it is accomplished, I will promote you significantly. At that time, don't say flying fish; wearing a bullfighter's outfit is also not out of the question"

Wei Daban. "Li Yunze summoned Wei Zhongxian. "You handle this matter."

Luo Yangxing has a good appearance, tall and strong with a full beard, his eyes are spirited, clearly indicating that he possesses martial arts skills, and his overall image is quite impressive

Leaving behind the words "Dismissed", Li Yunze hurriedly rose from the rigid and uncomfortably cold dragon throne

As for the bullfighting attire, typically only high-ranking officials of the first class are qualified to wear it, except in special cases

His ancestors were all Chief Commanders of the Imperial Guards, and both his maternal grandfather and father also held the position of Chief Commander. Naturally, when it comes to Luo Yangxing, he also aspires to become a Chief Commander.

In the tenth month of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji would lead the main forces of the Later Jin to besiege and attack the capital!

With the wide sleeves of the dragon robe to conceal, no one can see.

Such private summons must certainly be for the purpose of carrying out some tasks

Wei Zhongxian was very pleased; this new emperor clearly did not care for the throne, which increased his chances of controlling the emperor. As long as he served the emperor well, the power of the court would still be in his hands

Please grant a long life to the treasury... ...

With the first tranche of working capital, Li Yunze immediately ordered one ton of 925 industrial silver under the name of his bag company

In the context of the Ming Dynasty, the comparison of gold to silver was one to ten

When additional personnel are dispatched to work day and night, the Ministry of Works rambled on about a great many things, but in the end, it can be summarized in one sentence: more money is needed

I am ashamed. I am a hereditary captain of the Jinyiwei, benefiting from imperial favor, and I have not been able to achieve merit for His Majesty. I do not dare to aspire to the rank of Feiyu.

One cannot drive a pack of wild dogs to desperation, for they will collectively bark frantically in a desperate attempt to escape.

This statement must be expressed promptly; otherwise, if it reaches the ears of the Luo family afterward, it would truly result in a deadly feud

Those who call others servants are like wild boar skin; here in the Ming Dynasty, we refer to them as maidservants

The Minister of Revenue hurriedly stepped forward, stating, "When the tax payments have not yet been submitted, the Ministry of Revenue has no surplus funds"

Get up

In recent days, Li Yunze has ordered a batch of tools crafted from modern materials and techniques from a machining factory

You go back and find a group of trusted individuals who are willing to take on responsibilities. "For me, eliminate the traitors!" Li Yunze instructed softly

In other words, when Li Yunze engages in the business of trading precious metals across time and space, he starts with a profit margin of ten times.

After all, the Luo family has held high positions for many years, and under the genetic enhancement of marrying beautiful women generation after generation, it is unlikely to produce inferior quality.

This item also includes stab-resistant vests, all of which are intended for emergency use

If the new emperor is negligent in governance, it would be truly advantageous

Luo Yangxing was taken aback, yet he did not dare to hesitate in the slightest. He immediately bowed again and said, "I, your servant, will obey the command"

The term "92.5% silver" refers to sterling silver, which contains 92.5% pure silver. The remaining 7.5% is typically composed of copper

It has become quite clear at this point that Li Yunze does not wish to spend more than a year in futile attempts to expel Wei Zhongxian

Cutting through chaos with a swift blade

Opening the time portal, I return to the modern world with the newly forged gold bars

Too many people have come, and there is no room to stand inside the hall. Those of lower rank, such as the minor officials in green robes, can only stand outside and watch the commotion

This device is primarily used in industrial production, and its function corresponds with its name

To resolve the issue, he chose the simplest approach

Thinking about how to handle this batch of gold upon returning, I have no thoughts at all about the morning court session

This will truly be a great suffering when the cold winter months arrive

On the other hand, time does not wait for me

"Citing" refers to a subordinate addressing a superior, while "paying respects" is used among peers or individuals of similar status. "Bowing to meet" is often employed by commoners when meeting officials

Hello

In the second year of Chongzhen, the Later Jin would first enter the Pass.

Yes

The current season is not too cold, and the gathering of people engaged in various exchanges creates a lively atmosphere

Li Yunze raised his hand and gently tapped the table, "Luo Yangxing."

If there is more talk, it will attract the attention of those with ulterior motives

In no time, it was already a buzzing sound all around

Wang Cheng'en hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects, saying, "The servant is here."

Next, the Ministry of Works took the lead, discussing matters related to the mausoleum of the late emperor, where some changes occurred in this regard

However, it excels in high safety, and Li Yunze chose to use cash

He is not in need of gold, so he did not go to the jewelry store but instead went to the pawn shop

Wang Cheng'en led everyone out and carefully closed the door behind him

As dawn broke, thousands of officials in the capital had already set out for the Forbidden City

What about traitors? Traitors can also be exploited and squeezed.

After much ado, we finally arrive at the crux: "... ... the posthumous title of the late Emperor, who was honored as the Da Tian Chan Dao Dun Xiao Du You Zhang Wen Xiang Wu Jing Mu Zhuang Qin Zhi Emperor ... ... Temple Xi."

The total is approximately around five to six million taels.

Tell Luo Yangxing to come and see me tomorrow

As the dull drumbeats sounded, the Han generals wielded their whips, producing loud cracking noises, and the conversations gradually faded away.

Having completed these tasks, Li Yunze opened the time portal in the office rented by his leather goods company and returned to the Ming Dynasty era

After Li Zicheng fled, Luo Yangxing surrendered to Dorgon again

Once the matter is accomplished, the Luo family will naturally not be treated unfairly. Please convey to your father that when he undertakes his tasks, he should have the Jinyiwei accompany him outside.

The Ministry of Works directly passed the responsibility to Li Yunze.

The next day, there was no early court session, so Li Yunze enjoyed a leisurely sleep.

Li Yunze yawned repeatedly, dozing off, and naturally, the officials below also began to slacken off.

Luo Yangxing attained the high position of Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince at the Wild Boar Skin, and he was even the first governor-level official of the Wild Boar Skin.

Hmm?

Matters should be addressed one by one, and even when dealing with dogs, each one must be handled individually

Time is extremely precious, and Li Yunze does not have the time to leisurely entertain Wei Zhongxian

The primary reason Li Yunze purchased 925 industrial silver is its affordability

Luo Yangxing immediately knelt down and repeatedly bowed his head, saying, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty unto death"

In history, Luo Yangxing chose to surrender when Li Zicheng breached the capital, rather than remaining loyal to the Ming Dynasty

Li Yunze, having researched the information, is well aware of the various interests involved in these matters.

At that time, the suffering of the people was profound, and blood flowed like rivers. The last shred of dignity of the Ming Dynasty was torn away, leading it irrevocably towards destruction

As of now, the annual income consists of approximately 20 million shi of various grains, along with miscellaneous tax revenues amounting to around 3 to 4 million taels of silver from land, labor, and salt.

In terms of these matters, a typical servant of the three surnames

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was no exception, and he ascended to the throne at a young age, which naturally resulted in a slower pace of construction for his mausoleum.

Order takeout, take a shower, have a meal, and make a phone call to report safety

Li Yunze first spent money to acquire a new identity and a set of documents, and then engaged a secretarial company to establish a shell company.

He now intends to eliminate Wei Zhongxian and reclaim the power of the court into his own hands

Li Yunze scrutinized Luo Yangxing and said, "You are merely a hundred households? You haven't even donned the Flying Fish uniform."

In addition, he also customized a compact and precise hand crossbow

However, Wei Zhongxian has not yet been eliminated, and it is not yet time to take action against the court.

Dong-dong-dong

Compared to the price of gold, it is a clear difference of one hundred times

On one hand, it serves to intimidate the ministers and prevent the Donglin Party from gaining prominence.

Wei Zhongxian, holding a whisk, not only failed to remind Li Yunze, but instead felt secretly pleased in his heart

The quotation for one gram in the futures market is only 3.8

The mausoleums of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were typically constructed starting from the time of their ascension to the throne, and it generally took about ten to eight years to complete.

"Your servant, Luo Yangxing, the hundred households of the Northern Town Guard of the Jinyiwei, presents himself before Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live for countless years."

The logistics and financial systems here in the Pearl of the Orient are highly developed, and the goods he ordered arrived within a few days

Li Yunze, seated on the dragon throne, did not feel particularly excited

Aside from feeling that the dragon throne is too hard, he is also extremely tired

Historically, Chongzhen was misled by the Donglin Party, and naively abolished these guarding eunuchs, resulting in a significant decline in the income of the Ming Dynasty's treasury.

Hundreds and thousands of officials from the Ming Dynasty surged towards the Chengtian Gate, followed by the Duan Gate, and crossed the Wulong Bridge under the leadership of the Great Han generals, arriving at the square in front of the Huangji Hall

Of course, at that time, there were many household servants of various surnames, and seven or eight out of ten officials worked for the wild boar skin.

Wang Cheng'en hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty is correct; Luo Sigong has recommended his eldest son, Luo Yangxing, to serve Your Majesty."

Li Yunze yawned and asked, "What solutions does the Ministry of Works have?"

By the time he got up and had breakfast, Wang Cheng'en reported that Luo Yangxing had been waiting outside for quite some time

The price here is certainly not high, ultimately settling at only 280 yuan per gram, which is about one-third lower than the market price
