The top floor of the Moon Tower in the capital, the entire top floor is a huge hall, the decoration is extremely luxurious, it has always been a place where the real rich people can go here in Beijing and Tianjin, and it takes thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver to spend here casually.

With the arrival of one business bigwig, it also surprised the shopkeeper of Mochizuki Tower.
There are a lot of big people in the capital, and the people who come to Wangyue Tower to eat every day are also powerful and rich people in the capital, but this is still very, very rare.
I don't know which Bodhisattva can invite so many people together, you must know that the industry controlled by these people is enough to cover all aspects of such a great Ming.
"What the hell is this Liu Jin doing, how many people are called, what does he want to do?"
Zhu Benduan, who came to attend the meeting on behalf of Hui businessmen, looked at the big guys in the room, and whispered to Feng Xiang beside him.
"I don't know, there must be something big, otherwise I wouldn't have called everyone so excitedly."
"In the past, he had never called everyone so solemnly."
Feng Xiang thought for a moment and shook his head slightly and said.
"It seems that I have people from all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty, right?"
I wish Benduan a careful exchange of shares, many of them are old acquaintances, even if they don't know each other, everyone knows each other by introducing them, so I looked around and thought about it.
"No, if you think about it, are there fewer people?"
Feng Xiang shook his head slightly, thought about it and said.
"Missing someone?"
Zhu Benduan took a closer look, then thought about it and said: "Who is missing, even those of us who have been against Liu Jin before, he has invited, who hasn't been invited?" ”
"Jin Shang!"
Feng Xiang said coldly.
"Jin Shang?"
Zhu Benduan heard it, and when he looked closely, it seemed that he really didn't see a person from the Jin merchants, so he thought about it and said, "Could it be that these Jin merchants have offended Liu Jin?" ”
"This Liu Jin called everyone over to deal with these Jin merchants?"
"I don't know, it's just that there are people in all walks of life and everywhere, but there is a lack of Jin merchants, which makes me feel very strange."
Feng Xiang shook his head again.
"British Gong Arrive~"
"Chengguo Gong arrives~"
"The prince of Dingguo has arrived~"
"Liu Jin Liu Gongzi arrives~"
Just when everyone was chatting, Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu, Liu Jin, and Xu Guangzuo walked in with smiles on their faces.
"Everyone~"
"Sorry for being late~"
Liu Jin, Zhang Mao and others greeted everyone with a smile.
"Hmph~"
Shouning Hou Zhang Yanling and Jianchang Bo Zhang Heling couldn't help but snort coldly when they saw Liu Jin, it was this tax collected on their heads, and they also let themselves be locked up by Emperor Hongzhi for more than half a month, and even the factory was almost greatly affected.
"Zhang Gong~"
Liu Jin saw the displeasure on the faces of the two, and greeted the two with a smile.
"Liu Jin, you call everyone over, if you have a fart, let it go quickly, and we will leave after releasing it, I am not like you who earn tens of millions of taels of silver a year, and I have no place to spend my own silver, so don't pull all of us."
Zhang Heling didn't give Liu Jin a good face, and said it very loudly.
As soon as his words came out, the entire hall also fell silent, and everyone looked at Liu Jin and Zhang Heling.
To tell the truth, Liu Jin is engaged in tax restructuring here, and he also made a tax arrest come quickly, which really makes everyone very unhappy, and many people are still worried about it, after all, these bigwigs present are not a small amount of money to be paid every year.
Now hearing Zhang Heling mad at Liu Jin, everyone suddenly pricked up their ears one by one, wanting to hear Liu Jin's answer.
"Zhang Gong, everyone~"
Liu Jin looked at the Zhang brothers, then turned to everyone and said loudly. Jing Ai Books
"I, Liu Jin, think that I have always been doing things for the interests of all of us, for the common interests of our Ming Dynasty."
"Didn't you make money from the cement I invented, the weaving machines, the ocean-going fishing, the ocean-going trade, the plantations, and so on?"
"I think many people know very well in their hearts that if it weren't for me Liu Jin, everyone might still be on the original one-third of an acre of land, fighting to the death, fighting for a piece of land, and causing death."
Liu Jin's words are obviously something in his words, what he said is that the Zhang brothers once grabbed a piece of land with Changning Bo Zhou Yu and caused a fatality.
Hearing Liu Jin's words, the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling suddenly turned unsightly.
"Let's take a look at the present, as far as Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo are concerned, the industries under your command now, the sum of various industries, do you have to earn tens of millions of taels of silver a year?"
"In the past, Gong Zhang, can all your family's properties add up to 100,000 taels of silver a year?"
Liu Jin turned his head to look at Zhang Heling again and asked very seriously.
"This..."
The Zhang brothers were speechless for a moment.
Because what Liu Jin said is the truth, in the past few years, following Liu Jin's ass, everyone has indeed made a fortune and earned a lot of silver.
"These two straw bales can earn tens of millions of taels of silver a year~"
Seeing this scene, everyone's minds couldn't help but think like this.
Who are the Zhang brothers?
They are the typical representatives of straw bales, brainless.
"I, Liu Jin, have a clear conscience, and I have always done things for the benefit of everyone, and every industry I do is to bring everyone to make a fortune together."
"Now I am in charge of the tax reform, and many people are also quite complaining about this, thinking that I, Liu Jin, have too much money and no place to spend it, so I have to do this."
"But have you ever thought about it, why am I doing this?"
Liu Jin's words also made everyone fall into deep thought, and after thinking about it carefully, Liu Jin seemed to have a deep meaning in doing so.
"Everyone, the country, the country, there is a country to have a home!"
"The imperial court is in financial difficulties, the treasury is empty, and the imperial court wants to do something big, but it is always powerless."
"Now, all of you here have ships running on the sea, plantations and mines in the South Seas, fleets in the Golden Continent, and caravans on the grasslands."
"If you had before, would you have dared to build plantations overseas?"
"Do you dare to go to the grassland to do business?"
"Do you know that the Golden Continent is full of gold?"
Liu Jin asked questions again and again, which also made everyone speechless, in the past, everyone was limited to one acre and three points of land in Daming, and the most thing they did was to annex the land, but now it is different.
As long as you have money, the most you can do is buy a boat, go to the South Seas to build a plantation, open a mine, and so on.
"Have you ever thought that in the past, there was a threat of grassland people in the north of our Daming Dynasty, and there were Japanese robbers on the southeast coast, and at the same time, because of traffic restrictions, it was very difficult for everyone to do business, and it was inconvenient to come and go."
"What's at the root of it all?"
"It's because our court doesn't have silver, and the court doesn't have silver to support the army that has always been strong, so we can't defeat the grassland people, and we can't wipe out the Japanese on the southeast coast, let alone go overseas to do business and make a fortune."
"Only when the imperial court has money and silver, can it organize a powerful army to sweep the grassland, sweep away the Jurchen tribes, expand the territory, and turn the grassland into our back garden, so that we can go to the grassland and Liaodong to do business."
"Only when the imperial court has money can it build a strong navy, protect our trade routes in Nanyang, protect our plantations and mines in Nanyang, and occupy more islands and land in Nanyang in the future, so that we can build more plantations and minerals."
"Because the imperial court has money, it can do great things, conquer the Japanese country, suppress thieves, and let our merchant ships pass unimpeded, otherwise, your ship will not know if it can come back when it goes to sea, do you dare to go to sea?"
"Taxing now is indeed giving everyone an extra amount of silver~"
"But this silver is also for the benefit of everyone, so that we can continue to earn more silver."
"The imperial court has silver, and it has built cement roads in various parts of the Ming Dynasty to facilitate business travel from south to north, and the construction of reservoirs and rivers is also to prevent natural and man-made disasters."
"In the same way, the imperial court has silver, the imperial court is carrying out military system reform, and it has a strong army, and when the time comes, not only the grassland, but we can also go all the way to the west and fight to the Western Regions."
"Aren't many people complaining that the price of cotton in the Western Regions is too expensive?"
"When the imperial court conquers the Western Regions, everyone can go to the Western Regions to build cotton plantations, and the price of this cotton will naturally be cheaper at that time."
"There is also the army of the imperial court that can go north, west, and south to occupy more places and expand the territory of our Ming Dynasty, so that we can have a larger market and go to more places to do business and do business."
"The imperial court is building a navy, once the navy is formed, then you can wipe out all the pirates on this side of the South Seas, and by the way, you will also occupy more islands and countries, so you don't have to fight for land to build plantations."
"The world is very big, Australia, the Golden Continent, Africa, the South Seas, the South Asian subcontinent, if these places only rely on us businessmen, can we fight them?"
"Without a strong Ming Dynasty backing, can we be guaranteed to do business overseas?"
"All this I do is for the benefit of everyone, because only a strong Ming is the strongest support for our overseas expansion, and without a strong country to support it, once someone is jealous, who will protect our interests?"
"Only when there is a country can there be a home, and when we are strong, we can straighten our backs and go out to make money, and we don't have to be afraid of anything."
Liu Jin's voice was sonorous and powerful, constantly echoing in the hall.
It also made these people present fall into contemplation one after another.
If you think about it, it's true.
If it weren't for the fact that the current Ming Dynasty is extremely powerful and cleared the way for these businessmen, they would be able to go overseas so smoothly and simply go overseas to make a fortune?
Can you earn money that you couldn't have imagined before?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, and finally thought about this clearly.
