    "You brat, if you meet someone you like, you can tell me directly. I will be the matchmaker and propose marriage now."

    After the party on the small island in the middle of the lake ended, Zhang Mao also looked at Liu Jin with a smile on his face and asked.

    "Umare you not afraid that I will fall in love with your granddaughter?"

    Liu Jin thought for a while and smiled.

    "Ah, brat, do you like Zhang Ying?"

    Zhang Mao was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then said overjoyed: "Great, I have wanted to marry that girl for a long time, but I have never been able to find a young and handsome man who can seduce her. Marry you  I¡¯m very relieved, you can quickly find a matchmaker to come over in advance, and I will agree immediately.¡±

    ""

    Liu Jin was speechless. Why was this old Zhang so anxious to marry off his granddaughter?

    ??This grandpa is not afraid of being entrusted with wrongdoing?

    "Mr. Zhang, I'm just saying this. This is our first time meeting you, and we have just met you."

    Liu Jin thought for a while and replied.

    "It's enough to meet me once. You don't know, you think I'm getting married and you just married me and went home without even meeting me."

    Zhang Mao said nonchalantly, in this era that pays attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, it is normal to have never seen anyone else.

    Therefore, in ancient times, matchmaking was a very fortune-telling profession. With just one mouth, a dead person could be said to be alive, and a living person could be said to be dead. Both men and women did not dare to offend the matchmaker, and they served them delicious food and drinks.  You have to give enough money before you can ask the other party to find a good partner for you.

    "Tell me honestly, which one do you like?"

    Lao Zhang is still a rather gossipy person. When he said this, his voice became softer, as if he was inducing Liu Jin to speak out.

    "I really can't say I like that one. All of them are so beautiful. How can I say that I fell in love with anyone at first sight."

    Liu Jin smiled and shook his head.

    "You are quite demanding, boy."

    Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin and said, then thought about it and said, "Are you too thin-skinned to speak?"

    "I tell you, you can be shameless in other things, but you must be shameless in this matter. When you meet the person you like, you must be brave enough to fight for it, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life if you miss it.  "

    "Keeping in mind Mr. Zhang's teachings, I just feel that the time we spend together is a bit short. After all, we are looking for someone to live with in the future. To some extent, we also need to know whether the other person has common topics with us, so that we can slowly and leisurely spend time together in the future.  Get through it.¡±

    ¡°If you marry someone you have nothing in common with and you won¡¯t be able to talk about it in the future, what¡¯s the point?¡±

    Liu Jin naturally still has some thinking habits of later generations, and in the end we still have to be able to talk.

    "common topic?"

    Zhang Mao was slightly startled, and heard new words from Liu Jin, but Zhang Mao said indifferently: What is there to talk about with women? Just get married, have children, and take care of the family.  "

    Well, machismo has naturally reached its peak in this era.

    "Okay~"

    Liu Jin was immediately speechless and could not say more than half a sentence. He really couldn't talk about this matter with Lao Zhang anymore. It felt like a chicken talking to a duck.

    At this moment, Xu Guangzuo also walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Liu, do you like anyone?"

    "Don't mention it. This guy said he didn't know much about me when we first met. He wants to have more contact. He doesn't know. There are very few opportunities for such contact."

    Zhang Mao smiled and said first.

    "Then this will be difficult to handle. It is not easy for men and women to come into contact with each other. This contact will have a great impact on the woman's reputation."

    Xu Guangzuo thought for a while and said.

    "Forehead¡­"

    When Liu Jin heard this, he thought that in this era, men and women cannot easily contact each other. Let alone rich and noble people like them, even young men and women from ordinary families cannot move around easily, lest they gossip and blame the bad guys.

    It would be difficult to hold a small gathering like today. If it weren't for the fact that everyone is acquainted with each other, and they are married at the same time, and they can all be called cousins, they really wouldn't let these young men and women do it.  Got together.

    "But I think that Li Zhen seems to be interested in Brother Liu"

    Xu Guangzuo didn¡¯t tell the whole story. This was also for Li Zhen¡¯s sake. As long as the meaning was conveyed, everyone would understand.

    &People who fish and go out to sea for business have made a lot of money, so why do they need to sell land?

    "I just have no money!"

    Zhang Mao replied with a wry smile.

    Although these industries under Liu Jin's command are profitable, they are also very expensive. Although the British government has a lot of savings, in less than a year, after continuous investment, the money is like running water.  It flowed out loudly.

    Moreover, Zhang Mao is a very smart person and is willing to invest. Whether it is fishing or overseas business, they are very profitable. The same is true for the cement factory, so he is also thinking about expanding his industry and making money.  more money.

    Although this British prince belongs to a wealthy family, he actually does not have too much cash in his hands. Most of his family property exists in the form of properties, shops, and various trading businesses. He does not have too much money. Basically,  All the previous investments have been exhausted.

    "I'm thinking about buying a few more sea-going ships from you, and I'm going to form a caravan to go to the Japanese country. I'm going to have to invest hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in this process."

    "In addition, I am also planning to buy a few more whaling ships, which will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. In addition to hiring crew members and other expenses, I need to prepare a small hundred thousand."

    ¡°Everyone in the cement factory is discussing to expand its scale, so each company must invest tens of thousands of taels of silver.¡±

    "After all, a few hundred thousand taels of silver is simply not enough."

    Zhang Mao counted with Liu Jin and Xu Guangzuo on his fingers.

    Zhang Mao is really enjoying the benefits now. Fishing boats going out to sea are very profitable, merchant ships going to North Korea are even more profitable, and cement factories are also very profitable.

    Each of these industries is a profitable business. Taking advantage of the good time to dig for gold, he is also preparing to decisively expand the number of employees. He is also thinking about forming a fleet to go to Japan for business, and he is also thinking about expanding the scale of fishing boats and cement plants.  Scale, etc., these all require money.

    "Mr. Zhang, are we taking a step too far?"

    When Xu Guangzuo heard this, he thought for a while and said, Dingguo Gongfu, Yingguo Gongfu, Chengguo Gongfu, these three princes almost all wear the same pair of trousers, and all the business is done by the three families in partnership.

    "Too big?"

    "It's too slow for me."

    Zhang Mao shook his head and said: "Don't you know that the Zhang brothers are already preparing to form a fleet to go to the Japanese country to do business. I heard that the gold and silver exchange here in the Japanese country is 1:5. Not to mention anything else, just to make this gold and silver  This business will make huge profits, not to mention, you don¡¯t know the profits of this sea trade unless you tell me.¡±

    ¡°In the future, I am still thinking about setting up a fleet to go to Siam and Southeast Asia. If I have the chance, I will also go to India, Persia, and Europe. Silk and porcelain are worth gold in Europe.¡±

    "Now is the time for sea trade to begin. If we don't seize the opportunity, others will get there first."

    Hearing Zhang Mao¡¯s words, Xu Guangzuo thought about it and nodded solemnly. Although he also saw great prospects, he did not have the courage like Lao Zhang.

    "Lao Zhang is transitioning from a feudal aristocrat to an emerging capitalist."

    Liu Jin couldn't help but label Zhang Mao like this in his heart, but Liu Jin was still happy to see such changes. The feudal dynasty of the Ming Dynasty wanted to truly go global and expand its recruitment around the world.  We must slowly transform from a feudal society to a capital society.

    This is also the direction that Liu Jin has been working hard. Otherwise, why would he bring Zhu Houzhao with him in everything he does? In the final analysis, it is to make Zhu Houzhao, the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the biggest capitalist.

    Coupled with the transformation of wealthy people like Zhang Mao and Xu Guangzuo, this power will naturally increase and eventually promote the transformation of the entire Ming Dynasty.

    "You brat, do you want to buy land?"

    "Don't tell me you have no money. The richest people in the Ming Dynasty now belong to you and His Highness the Crown Prince."

    After Zhang Mao finished speaking, he also looked at Liu Jin. The reason why he looked for Liu Jin was because he knew that Liu Jin had money in his hands and a lot of silver. Of course, he didn't care if he didn't have any money. Liu Jin had a shipyard and could also use ships.  Come and exchange.

    "Mr. Zhang, where is the land in your hand?"

    Liu Jin thought for a while and asked, buying land has been a good investment since ancient times.

    "They are all near the capital. They are the most fertile and best land in the capital. If I were not in a hurry to use money, I would not sell them."

    Zhang Mao replied.

    "Fields near the capital?"

    When Liu Jin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zhang, if you sell these lands to me now, you will definitely regret it in the future."

    Now in Tianjin, the gentry and landlords who sold land to Liu Jin on a large scale have already regretted it. The land near the capital will definitely be priceless in the future.

    "regret?"

    ¡°I won¡¯t regret it, let alone regret it. I¡¯ll just buy it back from you when the time comes.¡±

    Zhang Mao said nonchalantly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)If you sell your land to me, you will definitely regret it later.  "
