Chapter 856: Buying a Pearl for a Pearl!

"Mo Lao, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is not under the jurisdiction of this king, and this king has no intention of interfering with the operation of the chamber of commerce, this matter ...... You can do it. ”

Listen, the leader has been a leader for a long time, and this is the virtue.

In fact, as long as Wu Zheng does not object, it can be done.

The Chamber of Commerce, to earn profits as the first priority, for the influx of capital, as long as it does not harm the interests of the original shareholders, basically the comer does not refuse, people have good and bad, good and evil, silver is always silver.

Mo Zhinian naturally heard Wu Zheng's meaning, the propaganda and guidance of the General's Mansion to the people, that is, it did not share the sky with the Qing court in the north, and everyone was punished for those traitors and lackeys.

This is a black cauldron, Wu Zheng doesn't want to stick to his hands, so he can only come.

As the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and the director of the Finance Department directly under the General's Mansion, Mo Zhinian is indeed frightened by the current predicament of financial affairs.

No amount of windfall can be turned into real business and people's livelihood in the short term, but a huge amount of money will pour out, which will crush your own economy.

Wu Zheng got the windfall several times, and Mo was obsessed with injecting it into places like the port shipyard and military workshop, of course, including the payment to Wei Kuangguo, only in this way can the impact on the market be minimized.

Mo Zhi thought about it while saying: "If the two of you want to join the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, the old man is naturally welcome, but the two of them have ...... shares. ”

Fan Yongdou hurriedly said: "After we finish raising, within half a year, we can exchange money through various banks." ”

Mo Zhinian shook his head and said: "The two of you have misunderstood, what the old man said is that such a huge amount of gold and silver turnover will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Qing court, which is not good for you and me." ”

Fan Yongdou could understand and asked, "Then ...... in the opinion of Lord Mo?" ”

Mo obsessed: "Maybe it can be solved in a commercial way, and the goods can be exchanged for shares." The coal, ore, northern timber, furs, ginseng, etc., all of which can be converted into shares. What do you think? ”

Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku responded: "Master Mo's plan is feasible. ”

Wu Zheng finally spoke, "This king is tired. ”

Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku smiled knowingly, then bowed down and said, "Since the prince is tired, the foreign ministers will not bother." ”

Then he bowed his hand to Mo Zhi and said: "For details, why don't you ask Lord Mo to drink together at night and then discuss?" ”

Mo Zhinian glanced at Wu Zheng, and saw that Wu Zheng did not object, so he responded: "Then according to the meaning of the two." ”

After Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku withdrew, Mo obsessedly said: "Lord Wang, aren't you afraid to take such a huge amount of money and invest it in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce...... What do these two mean? ”

Wu Zheng sneered: "No matter how much silver you have, you can't buy a life." Do you really think that these eight of them are not afraid in their hearts? It's just a matter of taking money to eliminate disasters. Of course, they don't invest so much just because of it. What they want is not only to live in peace, but also to earn more silver, and occupy a place in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and the same amount of right to speak. The scale of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, coupled with the strength of the king in Jiangnan, they want to get all kinds of scarce and forbidden materials in Jiangnan, they can't avoid the control of the king, only by investing in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, they can really make money with this huge amount of money, instead of burying it in the soil and mold. ”

Mo Zhi nodded in response: "What the prince said is very true, it's just ...... How should the old decay explain to the shareholders and people of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce? After all, they're supposed to be the ones I'm going to get rid of. ”

"This is Mo Lao's business, what does it have to do with this king?" Wu Zheng squinted.

Mo Zhinian smiled bitterly: "The old man really can't help it, can the prince really bear to let the old man be scolded as a traitor by the people pointing at his backbone?" ”

Wu Zheng's face gradually became solemn, "Mo Lao really thinks that this king wants you to carry this black cauldron?" I am the king of the county, and this matter should be put on my head, I am afraid that the hearts of the people in the land of the six mansions will be scattered. ”

Mo obsession then became solemn, indeed, if Wu Zheng, as the supreme leader of a land of six mansions, secretly started a business with a traitor who was condemned as a heinous traitor, this matter spread, no matter how you explain it, it will only get darker and darker.

But the problem is that this huge amount of money is a life-saving money for the Financial Secretary, of course, this is not a matter of silver, but of raw materials.

The silver, the ransom that was obtained from Wang Deren these days, confiscated by Xiushui County, and about to be paid by the Qing court, is enough for the General's Mansion to survive this year.

But the problem is raw materials, with the increasing output and scale of military workshops and shipyards, the materials needed are increasing day by day, and if this north-south road is not opened, once the Qing court blockades, Wu Zheng will have nowhere to buy even if he has silver.

No matter how advanced the technology is, there are no raw materials, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Mo obsessed and said in a deep voice: "The old age is almost ancient, and there are not many days in the world...... This matter is borne by the old man, and the prince does not have to worry about it. I just hope that in the future, when I am old and old, the prince can protect the descendants of the Mo family from being implicated. ”

Looking at Mo Obsession, this old man was really emotional, and Wu Zheng was a little moved.

Then he got up, hugged Mo Zhinian's arm and said: "This matter, no matter what, is a notorious thing, but if you don't do this, you will miss the opportunity to grow." As long as you and I are open in our hearts, why not be afraid of the mouths of the world? ”

Mo Zhizhi nodded vigorously and said, "If you can really exchange the life of the old man for the success of the prince's Northern Expedition...... Not a pity. ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not that serious, I thought of a way for you." ”

Mo was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Please also ask the prince to teach." ”

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Mo Lao's face has become really fast, I was so moved by Mo Lao's loyalty just now that I wanted to cry...... Yes, after only one sentence, Mo Lao changed his face. ”

Mo Zhinian did not have a trace of embarrassment, haha laughed and said: "The old man knows that the prince will not see the old man fall into the abyss." ”

Wu Zheng nodded a little bit and let go of his arm and said, "The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is just a merchant alliance and has nothing to do with this king. Its behavior is just a commercial behavior, and in business, expansion and merger are common things. ”

Mo Zhi nodded, "Yes." ”

Wu Zheng continued: "Whether it is the Mo family or the nearly three hundred merchants of the Chamber of Commerce, there are many shops and industries in Jiangbei, and it is impossible for the people to accuse them of being traitors and scold them for collaborating with the enemy, right? ”

Don't be obsessed with thoughts.

"Arrange for businessmen to buy the shops of these eight profiteers in Jiangbei and merge them at the normal market price, this is obviously a commercial act, right?"

"Yes."

"And these shops, which originally belonged to the eight major profiteers, hoarded a large number of goods, such as coal, ore, timber, furs, etc., this is normal, right?"

Mo was obsessed and suddenly realized, "Buy and return the pearls...... No, no, it should be a pearl! ”

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "Mo Lao is really a smart person. ”
