"There are so many wealthy businessmen in Jining City, how did Liu Zeqing come up with the idea of borrowing money from this king?" Zhu Youhua filled his teacup and suddenly asked.

Zheng Longfang laughed a few times and said: "All over the world, the clan that dares to set up a private army to go out to fight like a military attache is your Nanyang prince." ”

The meaning of these words is self-evident.

Zhu Youhua understood what he meant, took a sip of tea, and asked again: "Thirty thousand taels of silver, although it is not fundamental for this king, but it is not a small amount, it is lent out in vain, and it is not easy to explain it to my father, how will your Li Dashuai repay it?" ”

In fact, before coming, Zheng Longfang said to Liu Zeqing that he should not have too much hope for this trip, those wealthy businessmen refused to borrow money, and Zhu Youhua could not see the benefits, so he would not let go.

After hesitating for a while, he said embarrassedly: "The prince also knows that in these years, the imperial court has not paid silver for a long time, and my marshal has to support the whole army, and all kinds of things in the army need money, and this silver really can't come up." ”

"But if the prince still looks at the salt and iron trade in Shandong, my handsome family can share the prince's profits!"

After speaking, he looked at Zhu Youhua worriedly, only to see the other party smiling, but he was not in a hurry to reply.

Speaking of now, the palace has completely known itself, but Zheng Longfang can't see the other party's true thoughts.

Liu Zeqing felt that the Nanyang Palace's side could borrow money, just because Zhu Youhua also had his own soldiers and horses in his hands, and he should know the difficulty of leading troops but not having the help of the imperial court.

In addition, Liu Zeqing actually regarded Zhu Youhua as a commercial cooperation object, and both sides took what they needed, nothing more, and did not think too deeply at all.

Although things such as the vassal king forming an army without permission can be coerced, but Zhu Youhua is no longer in Luoyang, and he has a Nanyang battalion with good combat effectiveness at hand, and he will use a knife to kill people in a hurry.

Liu Zeqing listened to the edict and did not listen to the announcement, Zhu Youhua set up a private army to establish his own henchman army, the two have some similarities, each has its own handle, and they can only communicate according to the rules of business.

Besides, Zhu Youhua's background is too big, and when it comes to it, Liu Zeqing is not sure that he can get past this royal family, after all, he doesn't want to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Longfang was a cronie who followed Liu Zeqing when he was in Liaozuo, and his status over there was very high, because there was no cash to repay, he was a little unhappy at this time.

"Twenty percent of the iron ore's profits are less, aren't they?" After a long time, Zhu Youhua said with a smile.

"What does the prince mean ——??"

"That's it, this king is also a person with soldiers in his hands now, and he knows that it is not easy for Liu Dashuai to lead troops, so he sells his favor, and I will give this silver."

Hearing Zhu Youhua say this, Zheng Longfang was a little happy at first, but looking at the other party's expression, he was keenly aware that there was a later text, and there was no interface.

Sure enough, Zhu Youhua continued: "This 30,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and the king doesn't want the profits of salt and iron, but every batch of iron ore mined and private salt dried along the coast must be transported to Nanyang Sicheng." ”

The conversation was very interesting now, in the palace of the king of Nanyang, a deputy general soldier was talking to a prince about dividing up the trade of illicit salt and ore.

These two things are all things that the imperial court prohibits to get privately, because they are too profitable, but the two in front of them have already turned a blind eye to them.

"Is it really just iron and salt?" Zheng Longfang suspected that he had misheard.

He also thought that Zhu Youhua would ask for more profits, but he didn't expect that he only needed to ship forty percent of the things, and the remaining sixty percent would all go into Liu Zeqing's pocket no matter how much they were sold.

You must know that the same thing is sold at different prices in different places, and almost all salt merchants are concentrated in the Jiaodong Peninsula, transporting smuggled salt to Henan, how can there be a good price.

"The rest of them, no matter how high the price is, this king will not take a penny, as long as these forty percent are transported to Nanyang, is this feasible?" Zhu Youhua smiled.

Zheng Longfang thought that he had received a great benefit, smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly said: "Where did the prince say, the prince is so helpful, if it is transmitted back to the ears of my family, he will definitely be grateful to the prince." ”

30,000 taels of silver, Zheng Longfang doesn't know how many years to ship, how much salt and iron can be shipped out to this price, according to him, only forty percent of salt and iron can not be sold at this sky-high price.

The news came back to Liu Zeqing's ears, and he didn't expect this to be the case, he thought that he would bargain well, but he didn't expect Zhu Youhua to agree to give money like this.

30,000 taels of silver, this is already a great joy.

"It seems that this prince of Nanyang may be a good hand at leading troops to fight, but he is really not familiar with the situation of Shandong salt and iron!"

Saying that, Liu Zeqing also said: "But this prince has given so much money to help Ben Shuai tide over the difficulties, this love must be remembered, it depends on the situation!" ”

Of course, it depends on the situation.

......

Except for Liu Zeqing from Shandong, who was an unexpected visitor, the rest of the local gentry in Nanyang and even Henan, Zhu Youhua had a feeling that he could see or not see.

However, most of them came to the door for a purpose, and some of them brought gifts, hoping that Zhu Youhua would say a few good words for their people in the court, so that they would have good official luck.

There are also people who simply send money to curry favor, and more people send money and land in the name of donation.

Dedication, this is a rule set up by the Ming royal family.

When Zhu Youhua was still in Luoyang and didn't leave, his kind old father Wang Zhu Changxun once told him that he didn't have to think that the land rewarded by the emperor was small, which was not a big deal.

If your boy becomes a vassal king, someone will definitely donate the land.

When he first joined the domain last year, there were only two or three big cats and small cats who came, and Zhu Youhua didn't experience the grand occasion when King Fu's father was in the domain.

After winning this battle, it is needless to say that the heroes of Nanyang are all vying to come to the sacrifice, and even some gentry in Kaifeng, Henan and other places have also come a lot.

In just half a month, Zhu Youhua has a lot of land under his name, and as far as the entire Nanyang Mansion is concerned, two-thirds of it has already been under the name of Nanyang Palace.

As for Henan, although two-thirds of it was already the territory of his father Fu Wang, Zhu Youhua still easily won two-thirds of the remaining land.

Now it's okay, the entire Henan Mansion is almost all the land of the Fuwang Domain, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary landlords don't have much left.

Why do everyone compete to send money and land?

Because there is an unwritten rule in the Ming Dynasty, people with meritorious names reduce forced labor and taxes, once someone is promoted or jinshi, there will be a large number of poor people to pay tribute in order to avoid paying taxes.

In this way, the originally self-owned peasant households became tenant farmers, and the famous scholars were basically promoted to landlords on the spot.

The scholar is privileged enough, but the vassal king and the royal family are the P in the VIP, what are taxes and servitude, people don't know at all, what does this matter to me!

I don't have to pay it!

For the land and silver that were sent to the door in a hurry, Zhu Youhua took all the orders, and then Nanyang Yijian began to carry out activities throughout Henan.

Wang Zhuang, build a large number of this king!

What, there are too many displaced people?

Don't panic, don't mess up, after registration, Wangzhuang, which is floating with the banner of Nanyang Palace, is your home!
