Chapter 130: Qiantang Chamber of Commerce

The edict of the imperial court is very concise and clear, and there is no ambiguity.

If he was ordered to do it, it would be to help Chen Shou realize his ambition to dominate the dynasty, and it would be even more difficult to get rid of this powerful minister from now on.

If you don't listen, you will take the lead in disobeying the orders of the imperial court, and the Great Qi, which is already showing a feudal town, will split even more rapidly.

Li Xin, who is like an iron man, also felt a headache at this time, and he was always decisive and decisive.

In the lobby, everyone looked at him, waiting for him to give orders.

Half an hour later, Li Xin sighed and said: "Send someone to Longmen Mountain in Hedong, let Jiang Chucai come up with evidence to prove his innocence, and tell him that if it is really related to him, we will set foot on Longmen Mountain, don't say anything unpredictable." ”

This is a last effort, but Li Xin knows that the effect is not great.

Chen Shou has already grasped his weakness, and according to his understanding of him, this guy will definitely bite to the end until the last benefit is squeezed out.

When he was in Liangzhou, he showed his ruthlessness, when the imperial court was afraid of Xiliang and wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Xiliang, this kid directly suggested that he wave his troops to the east, take the northwest grain warehouse, and support the Hengshan front.

He can be said to be bold, and there is no awe of the imperial power in his heart, so Li Xin has been playing Emperor Gengyuan and belittled him.

It's a pity that Emperor Gengyuan didn't even look at his recital, but instead went to Chen Shou's table without pulling it.

Now in this situation, no matter what Li Xin thinks of Chen Shou, he can only hope that his existence can save this empire that is on the verge of collapse.

As for whether Chen Shou will retire after success, he still has to go further, and let's talk about it when the time comes. If he does not usurp the throne, Li Xin is very optimistic about Chen Shou, and at the moment of the empire's demise, only this kind of unscrupulous and resolute person can save the building.

The robbery of military rations in Yingzhou is not a great thing in today's Daqi. The White Lotus Sect is rampant everywhere, and they loot it, and they don't even look at what banner you are.

But if someone wants to make a living from this, it is a great thing, and whoever this hat is buckled on, who will defy the condemnation of the world, will lose all moral support.

This is the military rations to resist the southward movement of the Mongols, Chen Shou has long been ready, it is not enough to give Jiang Chucai of Longmen Mountain a hat of fornicating with the White Lotus, and then give him a charge of colluding with the Mongols and intending to welcome the foreign race to the south.

In the Water Pavilion, this crime has already been written, and it is the handwriting of his proud subordinate, Song Jing, a jinshi from Qin Fengying.

Just wait for the right time to throw out this crime and let Longmen Mountain completely become the target of public criticism.

Hangzhou City, inside the Qiantang Chamber of Commerce.

All the wealthy businessmen and giants in the south of the Yangtze River are sitting in danger, and there are dozens of maids standing around, all of whom are first-class and stunning.

Recently, they gathered here to discuss the matter of opening a maritime business with Daqi.

Chen Shou sent Xue Liangping to build a dock at the Tanggu ferry. He spent a lot of money to buy drawings and craftsmen from Nantang.

Originally, these were all weapons of the country, and they couldn't be sold easily, but Chen Shou gave too much...

In the Tang Kingdom, there was nothing that money could not do, he used Wang Xizhi's authentic works, Wu Daozi's paintings and even the Tai'a sword of the King of Chu to knock on the door of Zhang Tingzhi, the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and everything fell into place.

He exchanged silver of equal height for a skilled shipwright, and only for two months.

Two months later, the men were returned blindfolded, without knowing where they had been working for two months.

The Qiantang Chamber of Commerce is not prominent in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but it is very powerful, and no one dares to offend them, because they are actually agents of the powerful people who hold the lifeblood of the country.

Behind the glamorous wealthy businessmen and magnates, there are the shadows of several Tang Dynasty families who still control the government after Nandu.

Jia Xu, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said in a condensed voice: "Today, even Nanyang, Dongying and Goryeo are already saturated. There are a lot of goods that we have stuck in our hands and have nowhere to sell. Barbarians, the purchasing power is very limited, but our large workshops continue to produce goods. There is a large market, and there are more than 100 small countries at the top. ”

"What does the president mean, making a deal with Chen Shou?"

"I'm talking about trading with Daqi, but I didn't say who I'm doing business with." Jia Xu glanced at the person who was asking, it was a young man, only about twenty years old, not the same generation as those present.

However, he is the head of the Ye family in Kunshan, the Ye family has the largest fleet, and all the people present have a place where he can be used, and they all have business contacts, and they have a lot of right to speak.

"Ye Xixian's nephew, it seems that you have objections to the opening of business?" Jia Xu asked.

"I heard it last time." Ye Xi said in a deep voice, there was no expression on Junlang's face, he took over his deceased father's position three years ago to now, and made the Ye family's business bigger. Character is an important factor in his success.

"That's good, no one wants to get along with money, which of our warehouses is not piled up? Since the north side intends to buy and sell, go privately! ”

The attendees nodded their heads with joy on their faces.

Ye Xi took people out of the restaurant of the Chamber of Commerce, Hangzhou City has a population of one million and a huge index finger, which is far from being comparable to Bianliang.

After getting into the carriage, Ye Xi sighed, and his maid lowered the curtain and asked, "Ah Lang, why are you sighing?" ”

"In this troubled world, the business is just like the dolphin in the circle, seeking food and fattening, can it last for a long time?"

"Ah Lang, don't we Datang encourage business?" The little maid asked puzzled.

She is Ye Xi's maid since she was a child, and her intimacy is by no means an ordinary master-servant relationship, and she also opened her face early a few days ago and accepted her as a concubine.

Ye Xi couldn't tell others what he thought in his heart, otherwise it would be a big rebellion, so he often confided in her.

"You see this huge empire, everyone is chasing profit, although the flowers are full of flowers, there is no strong enemy outside, but our own soldiers have become embroidered pillows. It is said that in addition to the naval division and the strength of a battle, the Xiang army in various places cannot even suppress bandits. The Chamber of Commerce also decided to trade with Daqi, and according to the Tang people's omnipotent nature, the warships that Datang relied on for self-defense may not be able to keep secrets. Don't look at Daqi is poor now, once a strong man integrates Daqi, he will definitely go south when the time comes... Unless Qi Taizu falls into the water again, no one will be able to save us. ”

"At that time, the money in our hands that is rich and rivals the country is tied to my neck one by one."

"Alang... So what do we do? The concubine was a little frightened, and she didn't know how to comfort him, so she had to hold his arm.

"It's just a rainy day."
