Hua Buer rushed to the door of Tianzi No. 1 before Zhao Xiu, bent down and pushed the door open, and Hua Buer greeted a happy smile from beginning to end.

Zhao Xiu entered the room first and sat directly in the main seat, and the other people sat down as guests.

"Hurry up and serve the food to the prince, what are you waiting for?" Hua Buyi shouted, and the shopkeepers hurriedly poured in from outside the door one by one, carrying the dishes that had been prepared a long time ago. Dishes began to be laid out on the table. In a moment the huge table was filled. The aroma of food filled Zhao Xiu's lungs, and Zhao Xiu didn't care if the dish was not finished, he stood up and grabbed chopsticks from the small second-hand hand, sat down and ate.

Hua Buji stood aside, and there was a cold sweat all over his body. Zhao Xiu ate by himself, completely ignoring the faces of the others at the table. The people sitting on the table are all very famous merchants in Nanning, they have more or less understanding of the temper of His Royal Highness King Cheng, King Cheng Zhao Xiu is famous in the Nanning business district for turning his face and not recognizing people, when Zhao Xiu can use you, you can beg you in a low voice, but when Zhao Xiu doesn't need you, he doesn't even bother to pay attention to you.

The dishes have been served, Hua Buer has been laughing since he entered the door, the muscles on his face have become a little twitching, and his smile is very unnatural, but he doesn't dare to greet him with a smile. Who dares to provoke Zhao Xiu in Liaozhou?

Hua Buer saw that Xiao Er had put the dishes on one by one, so he asked Zhao Xiu carefully: "Lord Wang, the dishes have been served, do you think you have any other orders for the villain to do?" ”

Zhao Xiu just raised his left hand slightly, waved his hand, and motioned for Hua Buer to go out. Hua Buer hurriedly walked out with the small people as if he had been granted amnesty. There were only Zhao Xiu who was sitting in the main seat eating vegetables in the room, and Meng Xin who was standing at the door of the house, and there was a table of merchants with evil intentions, these merchants were somehow not as enthusiastic as when they first met Zhao Xiu, but one by one you look at me, I look at you.

A businessman with a face of the Chinese character was the first to stand up, he raised his wine glass, and said loudly: "Today, His Royal Highness King Cheng is sitting with us who are full of copper smell, which really makes my face shine, so I Sun Mou toast you." After speaking, he drank the wine in his glass.

Zhao Xiu glanced at the people sitting at this table with his peripheral vision, and he had a bottom in his heart. In fact, Zhao Xiu already knew what the purpose of these people was today. These people are all here for the manufacturing bureau founded by Zhao Xiu, and they are here to share profits with Zhao Xiu.

If the Tianxiang Chamber of Commerce is an organization jointly established by all merchants in Nanning, then the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau completely belongs to Zhao Xiu personally. Because in the Tianwu Kingdom, only after the authorization of the imperial court has the right to make iron and salt. Emperor Tianqi loved this youngest imperial brother very much during his reign, and he knew that Zhao Xiu loved to tinker with some strange things since he was a child, so he specially approved Zhao Xiu to make iron and make medicine in batches in Liaozhou. At that time, Zhao Xiu was only fourteen years old.

In the past four years, the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau has become famous all over the world, and the iron tools from the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau, whether it is agricultural or military, are well-known and strong in Tianwu Kingdom. The states of Tianwu and even the imperial court of Tianwu purchased iron tools from the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau.

The iron produced by the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau was in short supply for a while. The production of iron requires a large amount of iron and carbon, and carbon is not lacking in Liaozhou, but iron must be purchased in large quantities from states and counties outside Liaozhou, which requires a large number of manpower.

In order to solve this problem, Zhao Xiu invited merchants from many industries in the Tianxiang Chamber of Commerce in various states except Liaozhou, and Zhao Xiu asked them to help the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau purchase iron-making raw materials from other states under superior conditions, and gave them 30% of the net profit.

The annual profit of the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau is more than two million taels, and you must know that the annual tax revenue of Tianwu Kingdom is only eight million taels, and only a small manufacturing bureau is a quarter of the annual tax revenue of the upper treasury. Such a big benefit naturally makes many people blush. These people, who are most likely to get a piece of the pie, make the move.

Relying on the fact that they can provide iron-making raw materials to the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau, they have forced Zhao Xiu to give up their profits many times, but it is only the fourth time. Zhao Xiu was also very helpless, he scattered his manpower, searched all the mountains and rivers in Liaozhou and did not find an iron ore that could make iron, and he could only endure it without iron ore.

The businessman with the face of the Chinese character had already drunk all the wine in the cup, Zhao Xiu just glanced at him, did not stop the chopsticks in his hand, and continued to eat.

How could the old fritters in these shopping malls be stumped by Zhao Xiu's reaction, they have seen too many situations like this in shopping malls.

Zhao Xiu stood up on his right hand again, this person's posture was sideways, and when the weather was so cool, he was sweating profusely. Standing at the table actually squeezed the whole table out of position. His surname is Qi.

The merchant surnamed Qi raised the wine glass with his right hand, first saluted Zhao Xiu with the wine glass, and then drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. After a glass of wine, the merchant surnamed Qi seemed to be a little more energetic, with a face like a wine worm.

He wiped his mouth and said slowly: "Lord Wang, I don't like to beat around the bush when I talk in unison, I came today to discuss the matter of the Manufacturing Bureau with you." A few years ago, the world was quite stable, and Qizhou, Yizhou, Yinzhou and other places were not as stable as they are now, and in general, they were quite stable. But now these three states are rampant with bandits, mourning the people everywhere. The iron ore used by the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau, in the past two years, has been fought for by the state government, we are now worried, put the knife on the neck to guard the iron ore, and now the official road, my horse team will definitely be able to meet bandits as soon as the official road, many iron and stone have not yet arrived in Liaozhou has been lost on the road. When my horse team arrived in Liaozhou, the remaining iron and stone was less than forty percent of the time when it was loaded, and you said that I couldn't let you count the silver with the iron and stone when I loaded the car, so I could only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and I couldn't say what I was suffering from. ”

Qi Xing's face was innocent, his hands were spread evenly, and his palms patted the back of his hands to express his grievances. His eloquent narration made Meng Xin, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but want to laugh.

Zhao Xiu, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't laugh at it, he asked with a straight face, "Is it?" But as far as I know, every shipment of your goods has been escorted by the Zhenjin Bureau, why haven't I heard that you have been robbed in other states? ”

The Liaozhou Zhenjin Bureau was also founded by Zhao Xiu, similar to the Dart Bureau, specializing in bodyguards to escort caravans. Now there are more than 300 semicolons in the Liaozhou Zhenjin Bureau alone, there are more than 8,000 registered darts head, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes under the dart, and there are definitely more than 10,000 people who can always use it. In the entire Tianwu Kingdom, there are countless semicolons in the gold bureau.

In Liaozhou, all merchants who join the Tianxiang Chamber of Commerce can ask the branch of the Zhenjin Bureau in various parts of Tianwu Kingdom to be their bodyguards without paying any silver taels.
