Chapter 213 Merchant Unrighteous
ps: Thanks to the leader "Youshui Yichuan" for his monthly vote.
Therefore, even if Mo Zhongnian, who is rich in the country, heard that Pang Tianshou promised 30% of the profit in the future, his face suddenly changed.
Looking at Mo Zhinian's rich expression, Pang Tianshou felt even more relieved.
People can control them as long as they have something to ask for.
If you are afraid of it, you will have no desires and will be strong!
Mo Zhinian gasped slightly, and he looked at Pang Tianshou, "I... I have one last question."
"It's okay if you don't ask!"
"Dare you ask Eunuch Pang what you want?"
When Pang Tianshou heard this, his face gradually became frozen. He looked at Mo Zhinian and sighed for a long time: "Our family didn't want to say this, but since Mo Xiang asked, our family couldn't help but answer... Just because of the word trust!"
"The country collapsed and the world was in chaos. Our family has gone through four dynasties and lived to this day. It is an exception." Pang Tianshou sighed, "Our family is afraid of death, but even more afraid of having no power to die and starving to death without money... Our family just wants to live well...Don't believe it?"
Mo Zhinian was silent for a long time and nodded, "I... believe!"
Pang Tianshou sighed: "Actually, the King of Wu is a man who can do it... It's a pity that his many thoughts... Alas, if he comes to power, the world will be in chaos... He divided people's hearts into parts, but people's hearts are different, how can they be equally divided? Moreover, since ancient times, there have been rules in the officialdom. If the King of Wu wants to overthrow everything and start over, isn't this against the whole world?"
Mo Zhinian agreed and said, "Eunuch Pang hit the nail on the head... I don't want to end up together. I'm so old... Alas, God doesn't follow people's wishes... What can I do?"
Pang Tianshou, don’t be obsessed with the four eyes to communicate, and you feel that you regret meeting too late.
....
The Palace of Rouyi.
The emperor and his ministers are reporting the matter.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of my ministers... The King of Wu is not a person who ignores the welfare of the people in the world. Since he is now treacherous, he must have difficulties that he should not speak to outsiders..." Wang Yi whispered.
"If he has difficulties, why don't he ask me for help?" said shrillly, "Is it that in his eyes that I am a foolish monarch who ignores the welfare of the people of the world?"
Wang Yi could only remain silent.
"Maybe it was because I ordered Mo Zhinian to purchase shares of the Chamber of Commerce. He knew it, so he deliberately sold the shares in his hands, intending to catch me off guard!" Zhu Chenyu said angrily, "Actually, what do he thinks in his heart... I can guess! But he may have forgotten that even if it is not my seat, it may not be his... I believe that I do not owe him in this matter!"
Wang Yi could not take over this incident, he could only continue to remain silent.
Zhu Chenyu gritted her silver teeth and said hatefully: "I have asked Pang Tianshou to send an order not to be obsessed with... I will accept as much as he sells... I want to see, when I take control of the Chamber of Commerce... and the Weaving Department, how much can he rely on?!"
Wang Yi could no longer bear it and stepped forward to advise, "Your Majesty, think twice... If you really confront the King of Wu, I'm afraid... At this time, Your Majesty has transferred the spear cavalry of the Marquis of Shaoxing to Shuntian Prefecture... According to my opinion, the most important thing at the moment is the court's preparations for returning to Beidu...!"
"Then let Shen Zhiyuan lead his army back..." Zhu Chenyu's face turned a little red, "I will never compromise with him!"
Wang Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, "The brother and sister... why bother, why bother?"
"I am rumoring that the chief assistant has entered the palace today... it is for this matter. Wang Aiqing... How much more silver does the national treasury have?"
Wang Yi had a bitter face, "Reply to Your Majesty... The national treasury still has more than 6.3 million taels of silver deposit... But if it is used, from this month, I am afraid that the salary of officials in the capital will be delayed again!"
Zhu Chenyu pondered for a moment and shouted: "Transfer my order... The court will all pay 50% of its salary from now on... After the work is completed, we will reissue it... I hope that the ministers and workers will overcome the difficulties together!"
Wang Yi had no choice but to respond, "I...receive the order!"
....
Hangzhou City, Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce Association.
It has been three years since Wu Zheng visited the General Assembly in person to raise the military supplies of the Northern Expedition.
And this time, Wu Zheng revisited this place for...a compromise!
No, to be precise, it is for the sake of the millions of people in Jiangnan to compromise with the Chamber of Commerce to a limited extent.
"I think I have already made it clear. Please join us to participate in the grand event... It can also be considered as offering love to the elders of Jiangdong!"
Nearly a hundred Jiangnan businessmen here showed difficulty.
It’s not that they don’t want to obey the orders of King Wu. With the respect of King Wu and the Jiang Zun Shu Gui, they put their posture so low that they may not be able to say no. Of course, the most important thing is that they are still worried that if they refuse, the King of Wu will suddenly turn against each other.
You should know that in the eyes of these people, King Wu is almost synonymous with unreasonableness.
In the Hangzhou Prefecture's grain price battle, the King of Wu used the technique of "making a fortune out of nothing" to cleanse the rice shops in the city overnight, and collected them all. Looking back, he still has lingering fears.
But if you agree, your wealth will disappear in an instant.
The stock price of the Chamber of Commerce has fallen to the bottom after months of suppression. Now it has been tug-of-war for nearly a month before it has improved slightly.
At this time, if half of the shares of King Wu were sold out, you can imagine what kind of miserable situation would be?
When the King of Wu came to the Chamber of Commerce today, he actually asked the major shareholders to spend all their money to take over the market. Who is willing? Who is willing? Who is willing? Who is willing?
Which of these major shareholders does not have the Chamber of Commerce shares?
Wu Zheng's selling off has greatly damaged their interests, and he has no choice but to oppose it, which has given enough face to the King of Wu. In fact, who is here who doesn't scold Wu Zheng in his heart?
OK, that's not all. The King of Wu actually asked them to pay for the purchase. Isn't this fetching water into the river?
The atmosphere became extremely awkward.
Wu Zheng looked at these unscrupulous businessmen and his face became ugly.
In fact, Wu Zheng was not unsure. The purpose of this sale was to deal with the sudden attack of the foreign fleet. In his opinion, as long as we win this battle, all difficulties will naturally be solved. Moreover, if we decide to defend a hundred years of coastal defense in one battle, we will be honest from now on. No matter how much the price is, it is worth it.
Therefore, Wu Zheng decided to sell his shares, but Wu Zheng also knew that Zhang Huangyan's advice was right. The people may not be able to bear this storm. This is Wu Zheng's real purpose here.
Mobilize these businessmen to minimize the impact of low stock prices on ordinary people.
Of course, Wu Zheng also made some compromises for them, for example, Wu Zheng promised that within five years, the Chamber of Commerce would not reclaim the prohibited trade privileges other than firearms and weapons, such as salt, iron, tea, silk, etc.
In five years, this is an astronomical profit.
Unfortunately, I was going to look at the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.
Seeing Wu Zheng's face getting ugly, Xi Benzhen and Huang Zongxi were also anxious.
The two of them looked at each other and stood up together.
Huang Zongxi bowed and said, "Huang is the Financial Secretary and is willing to throw bricks and attract jade... to invest 2 million taels!"
Xi Benzhen followed closely behind, "Xi is willing to invest 1.5 million taels."
With these two people leading, people stood up sparsely.
"Chen is willing to pay 100,000 taels."
"Li paid 80,000 taels."
"Fifty thousand taels."
"Mr. Wang...10,000 taels."
"Five thousand taels."
"One thousand taels."
