Zhou Simin said suddenly: "That...... I'll go! ”

Zhu Yujiao shook her head again, and she sighed lightly: "You have been away from the palace for some time...... If you go, you will arouse the wrath of Wu Zheng's thunder! Abandoning his family and abandoning his children, he has entered the ...... of seven outs. ”

These words led to Zhou Simin's tears, mother and son are connected, she misses her son.

Zhu Yujiao gently stroked Zhou Simin's face with her right hand, and whispered, "I hurt you." ”

"Eldest princess......."

"Call me sister!"

"Sister......."

"Go back, go back to the palace. Only in this way will he feel at ease, and only if I continue to stay here, Wu Zheng will not remember me. ”

"But the General Administration of the Taiping Mansion ......."

"I already have a suitable candidate."

"Who?"

"Li Haiyue."

"She?" Zhou Simin was stunned.

"Exactly."

"Yes...... She even ...... Illiterate. ”

Zhu Yujiao's eyes became deeper, "It's not important, she is the only woman Wu Zheng doesn't understand, but she can't avoid it...... So, she's the most suitable. ”

“…… I wonder if she's willing to play for her sister? ”

"She will." Zhu Yujiao said lightly, "She and Wu Xiaomei have the same thoughts in their hearts." ”

……。

Coincidentally.

From the Eldest Princess's Mansion, not far from the Zheshang Museum.

Mo Zhinian and Xi Benzhen, Huang Zongxi and several others are meeting routinely.

Burning incense, burning agarwood.

Tasting tea, tasting is West Lake Longjing.

The flower is the legendary eighteen bachelors.

Fuqin, originally supposed to play narcissus, but at this time, he was stunned and ambushed on all sides.

There is a little drizzle outside the window, and there are talented and beautiful people exploring the path in the distance.

The literati especially liked the tone of luxury but not high-profile, and the tone of showing off wealth but not showing off, so they led the merchants badly.

Which of these people here is not a strong party with thousands of dollars?

They never flaunt their wealth, even if the tea they drink is enough for ordinary people for a year.

He was dressed in coarse cloth and a light-colored gown, and he did not even embroider any decorations.

In their words, thrifty labor.

Yes, manpower is not manpower in their eyes, but labor force.

This is the difference, the difference with Wu Zheng.

Huang Zongxi blew on the floating leaves in the cup, as if he thought that the temperature of the tea was a little inappropriate, so he didn't drink it, and put it on the table of the eight immortals.

"Mo Lao, if you let the prince toss like this again, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce will be hollowed out even if it has gold and silver." Huang Zongxi's words were full of resentment, "In the past three years, the prince has borrowed or embezzled from the Chamber of Commerce, with a total amount of nearly 30 million taels, not including the Chamber of Commerce at the invitation of the prince to invest 10 million taels of silver in Songjiang New Town to purchase land...... Now the new city has been built, but the prince can't seem to remember it, as if the city didn......'t exist. ”

Xi Benzhen raised his hand and gently signaled, interrupting Huang Zongxi, who was getting more and more angry.

"Don't be angry...... Brother Huang spoke like this in the past, and he didn't mean to accuse the prince and Mo Lao. ”

Mo Zhinian coughed lightly, stroked his triangular beard that he didn't need to make, and said calmly: "It's all your own people, why can't you say anything?" ”

Huang Zongxi also realized that he was talking too impulsively at this time, and hurriedly said: "Huang's mouth is broken, and I hope that Mo Lao will not be guilty." ”

Mo Zhinian nodded slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, then coughed, and then took a sweat towel from the table and pressed it to his mouth.

"You all seem to have forgotten a little." Speaking of this, Mo Zhi swept everyone present, and then continued, "Whose silver? Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has more than 3,000 shareholders and nearly 20,000 taels of share capital...... Whose silver? ”

There was silence in the hall, and everyone bowed their heads, teased the floating leaves, flicked their fingers, or pondered.

After a long time, Huang Zongxi raised his head and said: "Naturally, it is the ...... of the shareholders' money." ”

"Who are the shareholders?" Don't obsessively ask very quickly.

Huang Zongxi was stunned for a moment, then replied after a moment's thought: "Everyone here...... There are also countless minority shareholders. ”

Mo Zhizhi stopped asking and no longer talking, and then picked up the tea cup from the table and tasted it carefully.

Huang Zongxi's expression was a little embarrassed, he really didn't dare to contradict Mo Obsession, so he could only look at Xi Benzhen as if asking for help.

Xi Benzhen sighed slightly and said, "Brother Huang, don't be impatient...... Mo Lao means that you can't forget your roots, without the prince, there will be no general's mansion, without the general's mansion, there will be no Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and without the chamber of commerce, how can there be shareholders? There is a way that the skin does not exist, the Mao will be attached, and the Chamber of Commerce and the prince and the general's mansion will be prosperous and lost! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone raised their heads and looked at Xi Benzhen.

But this is not a gaze of approval, nor a gaze of opposition, it is a kind of unwillingness.

Xi Benzhen sighed slightly, turned his head to Mo and said: "Mo Lao, this is the reason, but everything must have a limit, the bills exchanged by the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce of the Financial Secretary, the amount of arrears is huge, and it has been the income of the General's Mansion for three years, that is to say, in the past three years, the General's Mansion has long been unable to make ends meet, and what supports the Financial Division is the silver invested by more than 3,000 shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce...... Of course, we don't mean to collect the arrears, but we just want to ask Mo Lao to speak up and persuade the prince...... After a little convergence, I hope to ...... Mo Lao is compassionate. ”

Mo Zhinian was silent for a long time, which made people wait a little impatiently.

Suddenly, with a "bang", Mo Zhizhi threw the cup in his hand in front of the door casually, shattering it into pieces.

"This tea, it's rancid!"

After speaking, Mo obsessively got up and strode away.

At this time, the people present looked at each other and were dumbfounded.

Xi Benzhen was the first to come back to his senses, and hurriedly grabbed Mo Chenbo, who was about to leave with Mo Zhi, "The eldest young master stays...... Please also ask the eldest young master for guidance. ”

Mo Chenbo is the eldest son of Mo Zhinian, and he is also the biological father of Mo Yiqing on the side of the princess, and he can be regarded as Wu Zheng's half "father-in-law".

If it weren't for the unquenchable greed back then, and he got involved in the clan to plot rebellion, he would have become the deputy head of the Financial Secretary at this time.

But now, Mo Zhinian has no intention of cultivating the eldest son at all, but seems to have a follower.

Mo Chenbo, who has not been confused, has settled down a lot in the past two years, and he has not made any trouble, he is not angry, it seems that his self-cultivation has been effective.

At this time, he was dragged by Xi Benzhen, Mo Chenbo struggled twice and didn't break free, so he smiled bitterly: "Xi Shibo, you and your father are the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, do you still need the guidance of juniors in this matter?" ”

Xi Benzhen ignored it, pressed Mo Chenbo back to his seat, and sighed lightly: "My eldest young master, you know the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, shareholders have to pay dividends every quarter, so the Chamber of Commerce basically does not leave too much cash in the account, and it has to make money, otherwise, what will you do to pay dividends?" But now the Financial Secretary embezzles a large amount of cash from the Chamber of Commerce every month, resulting in more and more arrears, and the Chamber of Commerce is no longer able to turn around and fill such a big hole. ”
