On the Thorn History Mansion, Chen Shuling's banquet, not many people participated, Chen Shuling took Master Mao and Master Lu, Li An, Zhou Chao took Gao Yuan and Xiao Yao, there were only seven people.

"Master Li, Master Zhou, last time you solemnly greeted this king in Wangjiang Tower, but today this king only held a banquet in the Assassin's Mansion, the wine is thin and the dishes are thin, please forgive me!" Chen Shuling's expression did not show the slightest apology.

"It is our honor to be invited to the banquet by His Royal Highness King Xing, and there are many people, and it is inconvenient to talk, now is just right!" Ang Lee said.

"Haha, or Lord Li understands me, so what do you want to talk about with this king? General Comptoir? "Chen Shuling is very direct.

"It seems that His Royal Highness already knows that Master Li is an official of the imperial court, and it is not appropriate to have anything to do with business, and our master and apprentice are outsiders, so it is difficult to control local merchants, Zu Yuan is a local businessman, and he is also good at business, so let him take care of the general business for us!" Zhou Chao is also very direct.

"Actually, whether the general trading house is Zuyuan's or yours' has nothing to do with this king, and the two of you don't have to explain it to me." Chen Shuling said lightly.

"Your Highness, the General Commercial Bank has only been established for three months, but now it has become the largest commercial bank in Jiangzhou, although there is still a great distance from the largest commercial bank in Chen State, Yinhai Commercial Bank, but its potential is unlimited, Zhou is presumptuous, if His Royal Highness does not dislike it, we want to dedicate it to His Highness!" Zhou Chao directly said the idea in Chen Shuling's heart.

"Oh, this king can also see that the general trading house has great potential, but don't you have any reluctance to give it to this king like this?" Chen Shuling asked knowingly.

"Your Highness Mingjian, if you want to become bigger and stronger, you must be in the hands of a powerful person! Otherwise, sooner or later, he will be defeated or even annexed by the Yinhai Commercial Bank with the support of the prince! Zhou Chao said.

"And our situation, I believe His Highness also guessed that Zhou didn't dare to hide anything from His Highness! Our master and apprentice once worshiped under the Xiao family in Xiliang, and wanted to exchange the secret technique of the iron in exchange for the secret recipe of the glass, but was framed by the Xiao family and became a bargaining chip for them to negotiate with Yu Wenzhi. ”

"After the three of us escaped from Xiliang, we went to Jiangzhou, and we met Huaicai, who was repeatedly oppressed by the boss, so we joined forces to exterminate the Julong Gang, and took the opportunity to get rid of the original Thorn Shi and Taishou, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and only His Royal Highness can save us!" Zhou Chao said sincerely.

Hearing Zhou Chao tell their secret, Chen Shuling and the three of them all showed smug smiles: We have long guessed that except for Chen Guo, there is no place for you in the world! In Chen Guo, you have no choice but to take refuge in me!

"Zhou Chao is not talented, the two apprentices are also quite capable, knowing that His Highness has great ambitions, and the three of us are willing to serve His Highness!" All three of them stood up and expressed their stance to Chen Shuling.

"Ang Lee is also willing to saddle the front and back of the horse for His Highness!" Ang Lee also stood up and made a statement.

"Good! This king already knows your secrets! Haha, you guys didn't hide it from me, I'm satisfied! Chen Shuling stood up excitedly and said.

"Xiliang is the sworn enemy of Chen Guo, you blew up their ironworks and killed the young son surnamed Xiao, which is a great thing for us! As for those two assassins, they were corrupt and perverted the law, and they were innocent! Getting rid of them has dealt a blow to the prince's arrogance, and he has also made a great contribution to this king! ”

"Master Zhou, your master and apprentice have miraculous skills, Master Li is a famous family in Jiangzhou, with your help, why should this king worry about big things! Come, this king will give you a drink! Chen Shuling said sincerely.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for not disliking our past! We will be loyal and go to the soup for Your Highness! Everyone said in unison.

As a result, Chen Shuling kept showing his corporal Lixian, and everyone kept showing their loyalty to him, and everyone drank happily.

"By the way, I heard that Zu Yuan is going to let the General Merchant Bank enter Jinling and confront the Yinhai Firm?" Chen Shuling is now the boss of the General Firm, of course he wants to know everything.

"Yes, if the General Firm wants to develop faster, it will have to go to Jinling sooner or later. Now that the general commercial bank is gaining momentum, I believe that Yinhai commercial bank has also begun to pay attention to us, ready to attack us, rather than waiting for it to attack, it is better for us to take the initiative to attack, directly enter Jinling, and hit it by surprise! Xiao Yao said.

"Shiro is really a talent for marching and fighting! The analysis makes sense, but if you want to enter Jinling, what kind of business do you use to compete with Yinhai Commercial Bank? Yinhai Commercial Bank is deeply rooted in Jinling, and Chen Guo's salt and iron business is monopolized by it! Now although the General Merchant Bank has this king, the Yinhai Comptoir also has a prince! Chen Shuling was worried.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the General Commodity Bank will not use the salt and iron business as the main force to fight with it, we will set up a General Sugar Factory in Jinling, and we are ready to make sugar!" Xiao Yao said.

"Sugar? What sugar? Chen Shuling was stunned.

"Sucrose! The sugar of Tianzhu country! In my early years, I followed Master to the rivers and lakes, and met merchants from all over the world, including merchants from Tianzhu, so I know how to make this kind of sugar, and after I have improved the method, the sugar produced will definitely be better than theirs! Xiao Yao said.

"The kind of sugar in Tianzhu? That's a lot of money! Would you really do it? Chen Shuling asked in surprise, of course the children of the royal family have seen sugar.

"Yes, Shiro is good at manufacturing technology, a lot of secret skills, he can learn it as soon as he learns, so I took him into the Xiao family to get his hands on the secret recipe of the glass, alas, it's a pity that he fell short." Zhou Chao was on the side to help.

"Your Royal Highness, this sugar is a very scarce thing, because it is all shipped from Tianzhu, so it is not only expensive in Chen State, but also the same in Zhou and Qi, it is difficult to find a thousand gold, if we have it, then the wealth will be rolling!" Master Mao analyzed.

"That's right, when the time comes, the general trading house will be mainly sugar, supplemented by the iron tools of the iron workshop, and it will definitely be able to defeat the Yinhai commercial bank and become the largest trading house in Chen State!" Master Lu said what Chen Shuling wanted to hear the most.

"Good! If you can really make sugar, this king will remember you a great achievement! Shiro, you are really talented, articulate, and talented, I finally know why Xiao Moke wants to accept you as a righteous son! By the way, when are you going to find Xiao Moke? Chen Shuling asked.

"My father-in-law has written several times urging me to go to Jinling, and I should leave for the next few days. Your Highness, when Shiro worshiped General Xiao as his father-in-law, he hadn't seen His Highness yet, so I don't know if His Highness has any opinion on this matter? Xiao Yao asked knowingly.

"Of course no comment! You worship him as your father, and it will be more helpful to this king. Xiao Moke has always been neutral above the court, if his righteous son is the king's man, you say... Ha ha. Chen Shuling said with a smile.

"When the time comes, Shiro will definitely do his best to persuade his father-in-law to serve His Highness!" Xiao Yao said.

"Good! When the time comes, with you in the army, the king's major affairs will be more certain! In this way, half a month later, August 14 is my father's birthday, and I will rush back to Jinling to celebrate my birthday in the next few days, and Shiro will go back with me! Bring Zu Yuan with you, and I will introduce some of the court ministers of Jinling to you! In the future, even if I am not in Jinling, I am not afraid that someone will dare to bully you! Chen Shuling clapped his hands and said.
