Governor Chen's face darkened, although his family also operated a lot, but they were all managed by the children of his house, Shinong Industry and Commerce, the main family must still develop towards the official career, and it is precisely because of this that his Chen family will be the leader of the Jiangnan family, and His Royal Highness the Prince will also discuss these things with him.

The head of the Zhang family hurriedly played a round and said: "Don't worry, two brothers, in the end, we are on the same boat, and now it is a rare opportunity to climb up to His Royal Highness the Prince, it is always right to be careful." ”

The head of the Qian family, the largest fleet in Jiangnan, said: "Brother Chen Shi is a scholar and a prefect, so naturally he is embarrassed to talk about this matter with the crown prince, but the younger brother also agrees with Brother Li's meaning, it is not good to be too young." ”

Governor Chen soothed his brows: "The things outside the body of money, if they are stable today, the imperial court will inevitably increase their control over Jiangnan, and the things of salt and iron are the monopoly of the government, and now they should be abandoned." ”

Li Qiantang sneered, this is also the contradiction between his Li family and the Chen family, the Li family relies on selling illicit salt, but the Chen family always wants to cut off this road, and I don't know if it is to suppress the Li family's forces, or if this Ming official looks down on him.

The head of the Qian family sighed and said: "Brother Chen, Tie Hao said, salt is our lifeblood, official salt is expensive and hard to find, ordinary people can't afford to eat it at all, and the Li family has a share of the sale of salt." ”

Li Qiantang took a deep breath, the people don't fight with the officials, not to mention that he, who sells illicit salt, if it weren't for the benefits of the Chen family, he would have been taken down as a political achievement a long time ago.

At this time, Chen Yunshu walked in, and the rest of the people thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived, so they hurriedly stood up, ready to wait for His Royal Highness to come in and pay a big salute, Li Qiantang trembled a little.

Governor Chen accompanied Zhu Biao for two days, and he was a serious official, so he was naturally quite shocked, and when he found out that his son had come in by himself, he asked suspiciously: "What about Your Highness?" But do you want me to wait to come and pay homage? ”

Chen Yunshu said with a smile: "Your Highness is a little tired, let my father deal with it." ”

After hearing this, Governor Chen was first happy, and then he felt wrong, the prince's itinerary was naturally clear to them, everyone was afraid that something would happen to this ancestor in Hangzhou, and if there was a case that he had to slaughter Jiangnan with blood today, when the time came, he would not say that he would work hard for Li Wenzhong, and Li Wenzhong would not personally kill him.

His Royal Highness has only played a lot this morning, and he is not a delicate and expensive son, but he is the general of Tiance who came back from the Northern Expedition to destroy the country, and it is rumored that he is as tireless as the saint.

The rest of the people also looked at each other, Li Qiantang frowned and sat back, Quan Xu beside His Royal Highness went around to inquire about the news, and they also knew, after all, it was a hundred years of business, and it was impossible to resist the imperial court, but there was little in the Jiangnan realm that could hide from them.

Chen Yunshu is a little confused, and the rest of the people are unhappy, even if they are unhappy, why is his father still unhappy, this is the letter of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the status of the Chen family's Jiangnan crown will be more stable in the future.

The head of the Qian family was the first to speak: "Don't you think we are not sincere, should we take the initiative to visit, my family has just obtained a few treasures, which can be used as a gift." ”

The rest of the people catered one after another, and Governor Chen said solemnly: "You think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is one of those ministers in the court, and you can be happy with some rare treasures, how can Your Highness accept gifts for no reason." ”

The head of the Zhang family nodded and said: "Give a gift to a nobleman, you have to give it elegantly, and it will make His Highness dislike it, not to mention that the gift is rejected, and if you don't get it right, you will be punished for the crime of disrespect." ”

The rest of the people were even more confused, and one of them whispered with a big belly: "Hasn't Your Highness already accepted me and waited, and I should be filial piety." ”

Li Qiantang squinted his eyes and said, "Who told you?" ”

The rest of the people were even more puzzled, if His Highness confiscated them, then what did they come here for, and some of them woke up: "The matter of empty white teeth, except for His Royal Highness Chen Zhifu Freedom, if His Highness does not admit it, this matter will naturally not happen." ”

Someone scratched his head and said: "What kind of identity is Your Highness, then it is not honest?" ”

The rest of the people also understood why they let the prince be honest, this deal has not been completed at all, and His Royal Highness has not taken any benefits from them, and now the result depends on their determination.

As for anything else, their family can do so big, it doesn't rely on integrity, and now people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, so I can't do anything about it.

Governor Chen shook his head and said: "Your Highness is still waiting for our sincerity, my Chen family has nothing to be reluctant to, it depends on how you choose." ”

Li Qiantang sighed, the Chen family has already embarked on a career and has enough money, and the rest of the family members don't even have an official of more than five grades, so they naturally still value money, especially his family, without these, they died early on the road.

The middleman of the belt gold abacus said: "I will wait for a year to enter twelve taels, which is not lower than the grain tax in Jiangnan, so His Highness should be satisfied, if it is higher, I might as well obey Li Wenzhong." ”

Li Qiantang sneered: "The meat has been delivered to your mouth, you still want to give it to others, isn't it that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not kill people?" When the time comes, will Li Wenzhong be able to protect me in front of His Royal Highness? ”

Now everyone is stupid, obviously happy to come, thinking about hugging the thickest thigh of the Ming Dynasty, how can this look like a family is ruined now.

The head of the Zhang family sighed: "Don't pretend to be stupid, you all know the roots, if you want the three of us to take the lead, if you don't want to talk about it anymore, then go out, and rely on yourself in the future." ”

Now the panic on everyone's faces has disappeared, in the end, there is no simple one who can save Nuoda's net worth, if he didn't have the ability, he would have been eaten by others a long time ago, the Jiangnan family is united, but there is never a need for fools.

Li Qiantang rubbed his rough face and said: "I can't get more silver, after all, most of the people below buy and sell with grain and copper money, even if Jiangnan is rich, it will not be able to supply His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a few years." ”

Nowadays, there is no large-scale influx of overseas silver into the Ming Dynasty, and the domestic use of copper coins and silver is not the mainstream, and even some remote places are still prevalent in barter, and the founding years are even poorer, and the silver is not used anywhere else except for the rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.

Governor Chen nodded and said, "Your Highness may not want silver." ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people were even more silent, what they wanted was definitely more important if they didn't want silver, it was better for them to want silver, in fact, they had already guessed what Zhu Biao wanted, but how could the ancestral foundation be abandoned.

The head of the Zhang family suddenly smiled and said: "When will it be our turn to make a decision on this matter, Shinong Industry and Commerce, although we are rich, we can take out tens of thousands of young people even if we stand up to the sky, and most of them are rabble, there are 10,000 iron horsemen parked outside Hangzhou, and they also occupy the north city gate, I am just a fat cattle and sheep, so I should accept my fate as soon as possible." ”

The rest of the people are also unwilling, they can save such a huge family business in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty is not by emphasizing honesty and benevolence, not to mention salt and iron in the early years, that is, they sell the population, military rations and horses, or how did this wealth come about, and it is easy to get rich in the troubled times.
