Zhu Cihong adopted Zhang Bin's suggestion and issued an edict to all the royal clansmen, and this court meeting, several princes who had lost their fiefs were invited to Beijing to participate, and others should not come.

This Fu Wang, Zheng Wang, Shu Wang, etc. naturally do not refer to Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, Zheng Wang Zhu Yiduo and Shu King Zhu Zhipeng and others, because these people have died at the hands of thieves, however, most of their heirs or heirs to the throne have escaped, such as Zhu Yousong, the son of Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, he is the historical Hongguang Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, these heirs to the throne generally do not flee to the capital, because without the emperor of the current dynasty, the vassal king and his heirs can not enter Beijing, they can only flee to the central capital Fengyang or the southern capital Jinling.

At this time, these fallen princes or new princes were waiting in the southern capital, waiting to get back their fiefdoms, and this time I heard that Zhang Bin was going to "seize" their fiefdoms, and the emperor asked them to enter the Beijing court to discuss the matter, they naturally ran over one by one.

However, before the court meeting was held, a group of princes and nobles gathered at the British Mansion to discuss, or participate in a special meeting.

The convener of the meeting was the British Gongzhang Zhiji, but the presiding officer of the meeting was Zhang Bin, the Taishi Weiguo Gong, and the participants in the meeting were basically Yongle nobles.

According to Zhang Bin's meaning, the British public Zhang Zhiji found a larger hall in the house, and placed a long table several zhang long in the middle of the hall, and then put chairs around the table.

The status of more than a dozen people here is not low, either dukes or marquises, although they are Yongle nobles, but not all of them unconditionally obey the British public orders, like this time, after Zhang Bin put forward the proposal to replace the land, except for the British public Zhang Zhiji, almost everyone else here jumped out to oppose it.

At this time, Zhang Bin was sitting on the main seat, smiling and greeting the nobles, but Zhang Zhiji, the owner of the British Mansion, sat down with a straight face, looking very unhappy.

Of course, he is not angry with Zhang Bin, but angry with these Yongle nobles, these guys are too faceless, knowing that they are in the same group as Zhang Bin, they dare to jump out against Zhang Bin, and don't treat themselves, the British boss, right.

The other Yongle nobles were extremely embarrassed at this time, in fact, they didn't jump out at first, but after someone took the initiative to jump out, they couldn't help it, after all, according to Zhang Bin's method, they lost thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels a year, although this money is nothing to Zhang Bin or even the British public, it is very important to them, so for his own interests, he also jumped out.

Sometimes in front of interests, their relatives can be betrayed, not to mention their nominal boss, for the sake of interests, they don't feel that they have done anything wrong, but when facing the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Britain, they are still a little embarrassed, and even a little cringe, after all, these two are much more powerful than them.

After Zhang Bin said hello, he coughed and said solemnly: "Everyone, I'm sorry, this time, I didn't think about it, I didn't consider everyone's interests, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry." ”

After that, he actually stood up and gave everyone a round of applause.

The princes hurriedly got up and returned the salute, they said that it didn't matter, it didn't matter, but they were muttering in their hearts: "You also know that you don't have to think about it, you can't grab your hair and beard, and clean up with your own people!" ”

After Zhang Bin finished speaking, he raised his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then sat down and said solemnly: "You should also know how serious the land annexation is now in the Ming Dynasty, if this development continues, I am afraid that all the people will eventually become tenant farmers or even homeless people. Therefore, this land replacement is imperative, for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, this father is cheeky and asks everyone to do a favor and support it. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked embarrassed, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, a word will make us lose most of our interests every year, how do we live, what do our families do, this kind of thing, is it possible?

Of course Zhang Bin knew that it was impossible, he suddenly loosened his face and smiled: "Of course, this favor will not let everyone help in vain, in this way, how much land you have in your hands, report the number to me, and I will give you dividends according to double the profit every year!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded, it is impossible that there is such a good thing in this world!

They didn't know that Dongshengtang belonged to Zhang Bin's family, and Zhang Bin did a good job of keeping secrets, except for his own family, as well as several major shareholders and big treasurers of Dongshengtang, no one else knew.

These princes and nobles are naturally rich and expensive compared to the ordinary people, but they can have tens of thousands of taels of income in a year, and Zhang Bin will give them double the profit of dividends, which is already a huge amount of money in their opinion, and they lose so much money in vain, and they lose it every year, it is really impossible in their opinion.

A Guogong couldn't help but arch his hand and said: "Wei Guogong, is this true?" ”

Zhang Bin smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, you can ask the British public, and in the future, the British public will pay you dividends every year, now, you can rest assured." ”

When the British public heard this, he turned his face and hated iron and said: "You guys, I don't know what to say about you, if it weren't for my old face being a little useful in front of Wei Guogong, you would be all finished, you know!" One by one, just for ten thousand taels of silver, you don't know whether you want money or your life! If you want money, you say, does the Patriotic Guild care about this bit of silver? Don't say that it's your tens of thousands of taels, hundreds of thousands of taels, millions of taels Wei Guogong will not frown, and the tricks will be brighter in the future, who will jump out and go against Wei Guogong without knowing whether to live or die, don't blame me for not saving him! ”

The princes were scolded, not only did they not get angry, but nodded vigorously with a smiling face, the meaning of the British prince is obvious, they can really earn double in the future, so what is there to oppose, let those royal relatives and Hong Wuxun nobles go to make trouble.

Zhang Bin really didn't expect that these Yongle nobles would jump out and disagree with him for tens of thousands of taels of silver, the reason why he paid the silver was not all to see the face of the British public, the main thing is that these guys have cronies in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the local garrison, if they go against themselves, it will be a bit troublesome, after all, the garrison is a new recruit, although there is no combat effectiveness, it is no problem to sabotage.

He didn't want to do it with these guys for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and he didn't want to cause chaos in the world because of this.

Yongle Xungui was appeased by him, and the next thing is the royal family, Zhang Bin can't afford to pay for the interests of these guys, and he won't pay for it, the big deal is to do it, he wants to see how big a storm these moths can set off!
