It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, and anyone who has a little study of political economy knows this, for businessmen, self-moral restraint only depends on the size of the profit that can be obtained. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A great man of later generations has a famous saying, if capital has 50 percent profits, it will take risks, if there is 100 percent profits, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, if there is 300 percent profits, it will dare to commit any crimes, even risking their lives, today's Ming Dynasty is in the era of transition from businessmen to capitalists.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo never had much hope for the discipline of the merchants, the difference is that he originally thought that the bottom line of the Hui merchants who respected Zhu Zi would be a little higher than that of the Jin merchants who did everything for the sake of profit, but now it seems that it is not so high!

"But I can find out clearly, what kind of heavy profits make these businessmen even ignore etiquette, righteousness and shame!"

Zhu Changluo sneered, but asked.

He was never naïve enough to think that this group of merchants was introduced by him, and he would not do anything to betray him, as long as there were enough interests, these people would dare to do anything, and the fact that the merchants at the city gate left a few days ago is still vivid, which is enough to prove that these merchants are not enough to entrust at all.

"Back to Your Highness, it's the land! Most of these merchants who were co-opted away used their own silver taels or shops to buy land from local gentry......"

Zhao Shizhen replied without thinking about it.

I see!

Zhu Changluo knew in his heart that perhaps in the future generations, many people would think that exchanging silver or shops for land would be considered a benefit? But in this era, Zhu Changluo understands the importance of land to Chinese!

China has been an agricultural civilization since ancient times, and all Chinese have a deep attachment to the land in their bones, and the so-called grain in their hands is not panicked, no matter how much silver they earn, in the eyes of the common people, it is not as expensive as their own land.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, unless it is really a last resort, very few people will sell their land.

On the other hand, even if they are businessmen like Hui merchants who move around the country, the first reaction to make money is to buy land, and only with land can they really stabilize their foothold here, even if they lose money in business, they will not be without food and clothing.

Therefore, whether it is a businessman, a gentry, or a farmer, the thirst for land is the same!

Especially these Hui merchants who have just entered Ping'an Mansion, they are not locals, so only by owning their own land here can they integrate into the class faster.

But in this way, they are faced with another problem, that is, the land in Ping'an Mansion has already been divided, and the local gentry are not short of money to spend, so naturally they will not sell the land, and the land in the hands of the peasants is not enough to stuff their teeth.

Originally, the three families of Liu, Sun and Wu were able to free up a large amount of borderless land, but who would have thought that Zhu Changluo would be directly wrapped up in one breath, which suddenly made everyone want to cry without tears!

So these gentry only stretched out an olive branch slightly, and these Hui merchants fell to them, which is a logical thing, but in a moment, Zhu Changluo figured out the joints!

"Can you find out who is in charge?"

Slightly straight, Zhu Changluo asked.

For this kind of thing, his standard has always been to only catch the main culprit, coercion and obedience, no matter how powerful the battle seems to be, there must be the most core people among them, as long as they are crushed to death, a group of rabble will naturally disperse.

Unexpectedly, this time Zhao Shizhen shook his head and said.

"I don't know, it's strange here, according to our investigation, although this turmoil is menacing, but no one is in tandem, and all the gentry families seem to have spontaneously begun to encourage the tenants to resist His Royal Highness's sweet potato......"

In fact, Zhao Shizhen is also puzzled by this, it stands to reason that these gentry should not be so ignorant of current affairs, but the fact is that no one organized this operation.

"Impossible!"

Zhu Changluo shook his head and said without hesitation.

"There are so many intrigues among these gentry on weekdays, how can they suddenly be so united! There must be something we don't know about! But since you can't find the person in charge for the time being, do you have a list of these gentry involved? ”

Just kidding, he Zhu Changluo and these gentry don't have a deep hatred, can they be guilty of wrestling with him like this? Aren't you afraid that your little arm will be broken by your thigh?

"Your Highness, this is the roster! Fortunately, there are still some gentry who are not involved......"

Zhao Shizhen took out a booklet from his sleeve, handed it over, and said with a sigh.

However, Zhu Changluo flipped through this booklet, and his eyes flashed one by one, and a trace of coldness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Zhao Changshi, do you have a roster of gentry who are not involved?"

"Yes, the minister will order someone to fetch it!"

Although Zhao Shizhen was a little strange why Zhu Changluo suddenly asked for another roster, he still took it as he said.

"That's true!"

With a sneer, Zhu Changluo threw the two rosters on the table and said disdainfully.

And Zhao Shizhen was confused, and picked up the two rosters suspiciously, flipped through and flipped through them, but he couldn't see anything in them, so he simply asked directly.

"Your Highness, is there anything wrong with these two rosters?"

"Of course it's not right, if you compare it carefully, this time the menacing gentry clan are all those who have children who are officials in the court, and the gentry clan who only rely on the shadow of their ancestors are all divided by An'an, isn't this obvious enough?"

Zhu Changluo said lightly.

Suddenly, a fine and dense cold sweat broke out on Zhao Shizhen's head, and he said.

"What does Your Highness mean that the source of this incident is in the court?"

"I'm afraid that this king has been absent from Jingshi for a long time, so some people have forgotten the lesson and dared to stretch out their hands to Ping'an Mansion!"

With a cold snort, Zhu Changluo said.

In fact, the mystery in these two rosters is not difficult to see, but Zhao Shizhen was originally an official who was not valued in the DPRK, and after arriving in the Ping'an Mansion, he also devoted himself to general affairs, and he was not clear about the situation in the DPRK and China, so he did not pay attention to this.

But Zhu Changluo is different, since he has been staying in Ping'an Mansion for the past few years, he naturally wants to find out this place clearly, so he only glanced at the two rosters a few times, and he can easily see that this time the matter is afraid that it came from the court!

"That'...... Your Highness, what should we do now? ”

Zhao Shizhen's brows were also furrowed, and he asked.

If this matter is just a local matter, it would be easy to solve, but since it involves the court, I am afraid it is not so simple, he has also been in the capital for several years, so he naturally knows how deep the water in the court is......

"Check!"

Zhu Changluo said without hesitation.

"Even if someone in the court deliberately targets this king, but the Ping'an Mansion is more than a thousand miles away from the capital, how can they grasp the timing so well, there must be spies sent by them in this Ping'an Mansion, this king wants to see, what a cow, ghost, snake and god dare to plot under the nose of this king!"
