Chapter 61: Zhu Youzhen's Purpose (Seeking, Seeking)
Zhu Youzhen, who was eating, felt that the time was almost up, so he walked to the side hall of the palace.
In the side hall of the palace, Zheng Yingtai stood there steadily. Ever since he came to the side hall, he has calmed down. King Shin didn't show up right away, and he didn't take it to heart. He knew that since he had arrived here, King Shin would see him sooner or later, so he just had to wait patiently.
Standing on the side hall, Zheng Yingtai couldn't help but think in his heart: What kind of chips can be used to impress His Royal Highness King Xin? He carefully calculated the Zheng family's chips, and the more he calculated, the more he felt that his confidence was a little lacking.
The Zheng family's biggest bargaining chip is money. But in the eyes of King Xin, who controls the popular money bank, this is not a big bargaining chip. Can the Zheng family's other chips impress King Xin?
Jeong Young-tae was completely unsure.
Zheng Yingtai was suffering from gains and losses, when the door curtain was lifted, and a teenager walked in. Seeing Wang Chengen hunched and following behind, Zheng Yingtai knew that this young man must be His Royal Highness King Xin.
There is no sound of a guard of honor. Zheng Yingtai didn't know if he was distracted and didn't hear it, or if the guards outside didn't report it at all. Anyway, he didn't hear any sound, and King Shin came in front of him.
In the face of the low-key King Xin, Zheng Yingtai had a general reflex, knelt down and kowtowed very quickly, and said loudly: "The villain sees King Xin's Chitose, Chitose." ”
Seeing the chubby Zheng Yingtai kneeling down and kowtowing, Zhu Youzhen felt some inexplicable joy. The language in his mouth reminded Zhu Youzhen of the court drama of his previous life.
I don't know why, looking at Zheng Yingtai kowtowing, Zhu Youzhen didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
"Hehe," Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but chuckle, he didn't call Zheng Yingtai flat, he just bypassed him and came to the main seat to sit.
Zhu Youzhen sat on the seat, looking at Zheng Yingtai who was kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Zheng Yingtai is about the same size as the Zheng shopkeeper he has seen, both of them are fat and fat, which may be caused by their Zheng family's genes. The chubby body knelt on the ground, looking like a giant lion's head no matter how it looked. Zhu Youzhen couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.
Zheng Yingtai heard the chuckle of His Royal Highness the First Letter, and was a little puzzled. He didn't know where he was cleaning up wrong, which caused King Shin to laugh. Now he is not easy to check, so he can only kneel there and wait for the king to leave.
For some reason, King Xin didn't call Zheng Yingtai for a long time.
Zheng Yingtai's chubby body was a little unbearable to maintain a kneeling posture, and he peeked at King Shin. Unexpectedly, Zheng Yingtai's peeking eyes happened to be the same as the eyes of King Xin looking him up and down, and they glanced at each other squarely. Such a faux pas, Zheng Yingtai was terrified.
Seeing that Zheng Yingtai's body trembled a little, Zhu Youzhen had no mercy. Don't look at Zheng Yingtai's harmless appearance now, think about his methods, you know that this is definitely a master who eats people and does not spit out bones.
Thinking of this, and then looking at Zheng Yingtai's lion-headed body kneeling in the hall, Zhu Youzhen suppressed the inexplicable joy in his heart, and asked coldly: "Zheng Yingtai, right?" Lone is curious, what do you want to say to Lone? ”
Zheng Yingtai's heart trembled for a while, and he felt furious in his heart when King Xin asked this, and King Xin didn't seem to care about the 500,000 silver tickets at all. Zheng Yingtai quickly weighed it in his heart.
Zhu Youzhen saw that Zheng Yingtai didn't speak for a while, and the faces kneeling on the ground couldn't see their expressions clearly, and they were a little anxious in their hearts.
He was about to speak again, but his heart suddenly woke up, "What am I anxious about? Zheng Yingtai is not a famous figure in history. Even if he is, I don't have a habit of collecting celebrities, what am I anxious about? ”
In the midst of his thoughts, Zhu Youzhen calmed down again and waited quietly for Zheng Yingtai to speak.
What's the hurry? Anyway, I'm okay now, so I can slowly consume my time.
When his thinking diverged, Zhu Youzhen was distracted and thought about the reason why he was anxious.
The side hall fell silent for a moment.
After a little time, Zheng Yingtai couldn't stand it, his body knelt on the ground for a long time, and he couldn't last long.
Shinking's questioning frightened him. In just one sentence, he couldn't grasp the true thoughts of King Xin. When he tried to exchange silence for King Shin to speak again, so that he could get a sense of King Shin's true intentions from King Shin's new words. To his surprise, King Shin fell silent.
King Shin is so calm!
This posture was really untenable.
"The villain hopes to be able to serve the king." Zheng Yingtai opened his mouth and said, he took the opportunity to change his posture to make himself more comfortable.
Zhu Youzhen did not speak, still silent.
King Shin's silence was like a boulder, weighing heavily on Zheng Yingtai's heart. He quickly weighed the gains and losses in his heart, and resolutely spoke again: "The villain is willing to dedicate everything of the Zheng family to His Royal Highness King Xin, and only ask His Royal Highness King Xin to accept it!" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen finally spoke.
"What do you Zheng family have?" A question that doesn't seem to be in the heart.
Hearing this, Zheng Yingtai felt relieved.
It's good to have a reaction.
"Our Zheng family has a rich village, a silver building, and a pawnshop in the capital. There is a residential building in the city, a manor outside the city, and more than 130 acres of land. Zheng Yingtai quickly reported the Zheng family's industry in the capital.
Zhu Youzhen was too lazy to listen to his nagging about these details, and he said coldly: "If your Zheng family only has these things, you don't need to say any more." ”
Zheng Yingtai was terrified, and he seemed to understand what King Shin wanted. "To give, or not to give?" Jeong Young-tae is in a dilemma.
After a little weighing, Zheng Yingtai immediately understood, he smiled bitterly, do you still have a choice? If there is any other choice, why should I go to the king's door? If you don't want the whole clan to flee, this is the only way to go.
"The Zheng family has two existing trade routes, and I hope to believe that Wang Xiaona." Zheng Yingtai said resolutely, and as soon as he said it, he felt that his body seemed to be a little prostration.
"Two trade routes?" Zhu Youzhen was a little surprised, why are there only two? Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, he asked lightly: "Two?" Where did you Zheng family master run? Outside the mouth or outside the gate? ”
King Xin's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, Zheng Yingtai's head was buzzing, and he only felt that his whole body was weak, as if his bones could no longer support his weight.
This is the biggest secret of the Zheng family, how could King Xin know?
The history of Shanxi businessmen, Zhu Youzhen heard a lot in his previous life.
In Daming, how can Jin merchants make a fortune without relying on smuggling?
The smuggling of Jin merchants is nothing more than two lines, one is the grassland, that is, outside the mouth; The second is Liaodong, that is, outside the Guan.
After the collapse of the Golden Horde of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the steppe never really submitted to the Ming Dynasty, and the Silk Road became a legendary existence.
The severance of the Silk Road caused most of the long-distance merchants to change to waterways starting from the Song Dynasty.
Having lost the Silk Road to make a fortune, the Jin merchants could only make huge profits by smuggling to the enemies of the Ming Dynasty.
The smuggled trade route only circulated silently among the merchants, how could King Shin know? Zheng Yingtai couldn't figure it out, he found that he really underestimated this young prince.
