Chapter Ninety-Three: The Birth of the Bandung Group

"O daughter! Daddy has never begged you, today Daddy begs you, save Daddy! Zhou Quan knelt down in front of Queen Zhou, crying so miserably that Queen Zhou hurried to help. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Daddy! What's wrong with you? Empress Zhou asked suspiciously.

"O daughter! If you don't save your father, our family will have to go to the streets to beg! Zhou Quan cried.

Hearing this, Queen Zhou probably had a score in her heart, but she still asked, "What's going on, tell me!" ”

Zhou Quan wiped his nose and old tears, and then said: "Before, my father heard that the imperial court was preparing to release this coin, thinking that the imperial court would definitely recycle the previous treasure banknote, after all, it is more than the old account to be settled, then no matter what price the court recycles, we can make a lot of money, so my father took all the silver to recycle this treasure banknote, and waited for the court to recover the treasure banknote, but I thought that the court was releasing a new coin, but this treasure banknote has not moved for a long time, and now it has taken so long, look at this situation, The court didn't think about recovering this treasure money at all, and the silver that Daddy put in it would be lost! ”

Empress Zhou frowned, and then asked, "Then what does Daddy want?" ”

Zhou Quan hurriedly said: "Daughter! Can you persuade Your Majesty to let the court recover some treasure money? Daddy doesn't want to make money now, just get the capital back! Success? ”

Empress Zhou smiled bitterly: "Dad! You must know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. ”

Zhou Quan cried and shouted, "Daughter! Do you want to see death and not save it? I'm your father! Can you bear to watch our family beg on the streets? Yes? ”

Queen Zhou was embarrassed: "But。。。。。。 ”

Zhou Quan watched the drama and continued: "Daughter! This recycling treasure money is also good for the imperial court, you see, His Majesty ordered the recovery of this treasure money, which can increase the credibility of the imperial court, and can also increase His Majesty's prestige, how good! You're right? ”

Queen Zhou looked at Zhou Quan, just frowned and didn't speak, looking at Queen Zhou's expression, Zhou Quan shook her head slightly, sighed and said, "Daughter! Daddy didn't ask you, just this once, alas! ”

Queen Zhou still didn't speak, Zhou Quan sighed, got up and said, "Daughter! Daddy is going back, you have to take care of yourself and the baby in your belly! Daddy is leaving! ”

Queen Zhou looked at Zhou Quan and nodded, Zhou Quan staggered out, looking at Zhou Quan's gradually disappearing sound and shadow, Queen Zhou sighed lightly. On the other side, Tian Guifei's house is also playing the same scene as Queen Zhou's side, Tian Guifei is very entangled, the last time she touched the fan once against the scales, this time her father asked her to try again, she really couldn't muster up the courage, and she could only keep wailing and sighing, and then she came to Kunning Palace.

"The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye!" Tian Guifei saluted.

"Didn't you say that? These gifts will be waived when we are sisters! Empress Zhou said with a smile.

"Sister! Etiquette can't be wasted, or follow the rules! Tian Guifei responded with a smile.

"My sister came earlier than usual! Still alone! Empress Zhou said with a smile.

Tian Guifei smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from my sister, my sister is in trouble!" ”

"Oh?" Queen Zhou made a puzzled voice, and then Tian Guifei helplessly told the truth of the matter, and Queen Zhou also sighed helplessly from the initial doubt to the end.

"Sister! What to do? Tian Guifei smiled bitterly.

Queen Zhou shook her head helplessly, with the same wry smile, the two sat at each other, speechless, only sighing.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Just when they were helpless, Cao Huachun's voice sounded outside, and then Chongzhen's hearty laughter came in along with the sound of the door opening.

"Ning'er! I've come to see you! Chongzhen shouted, and then saw Queen Zhou and Concubine Tian.

"Concubines, see Your Majesty!" Empress Zhou and Concubine Tian said at the same time.

"Flatten! Why is Concubine Ai here today? Chongzhen wondered.

Tian Guifei looked at Queen Zhou, and then sighed and said, "I want to talk to my sister, so I'm here!" ”

Chongzhen looked at Empress Zhou, then looked at Tian Guifei and said with a smile: "What? What happened? Looking at the faces of the two of you, you still want to hide it? ”

"Your Majesty! It's okay! It's just a little irritable all of a sudden! Empress Zhou said with a smile.

"That's it! Don't play pantomimes! You two are irritable at the same time, and I think it must have something to do with my two fathers-in-law, right? Chongzhen sat down, drank a cup of tea, and said with a smile.

Empress Zhou and Concubine Tian looked at each other and did not answer, and then Chongzhen smiled: "What? Are they too tired of it to ask you to help me? ”

Empress Zhou and Concubine Tian saw that His Majesty the Emperor knew the truth, so they nodded at the same time, and Chongzhen still smiled and said, "You did a good job and didn't speak directly, otherwise I would really be angry!" ”

Looking at Empress Zhou and Concubine Tian smiling bitterly, Chongzhen continued: "Okay! Don't be so bitter, your mood will affect the emperor in your stomach! All right! I don't want to see you embarrassed, this time I'm just teaching them a lesson! ”

"So, is Your Majesty going to recover the treasure money?" Tian Guifei was a little anxious and asked.

Chongzhen looked at Tian Guifei and said, "Love concubine!" Last time, I didn't blame Tian Guozhang once, this is the second time, it's only three, and next time I won't forgive! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tian Guifei hurriedly said.

Chongzhen nodded and continued: "Of course I won't recycle the treasure money, what will I do with those waste papers?" But don't worry, I won't let them beg on the streets poorly, and this will also lose my royal face! ”

Empress Zhou and Concubine Tian nodded at the same time, and Chongzhen continued: "I heard that they united most of the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, right?" ”

Empress Zhou showed a puzzled look, looking at her expression, Chongzhen knew that Zhou Quan did not tell Empress Zhou the specific situation, on the contrary, Tian Guifei nodded and gave a positive answer, Chongzhen smiled: "It seems that my two princes are quite capable!" I thought about it and decided to set up a chamber of commerce! ”

"Chamber of Commerce?" Empress Zhou and Concubine Tian exclaimed at the same time.

"Yes! Chamber of commerce! I need silver! Chongzhen smiled, looking at their expressions, Chongzhen continued: "The Chamber of Commerce is mainly divided into two businesses: the north is mainly responsible for the business of Mongolia and the Tartars, while the south is responsible for some outbound business, such as selling goods to the South Seas, selling to Japan, etc., and the north and the south need two people in charge, so do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Your Majesty means to let the concubine's father be the person in charge?" Empress Zhou asked tentatively.

"Exactly!" Chongzhen said with a smile, "I have thought of the name of the Chamber of Commerce, and it is more innovative, called Wanlong Group!" Bandung symbolizes that my chamber of commerce can continue to prosper in business, as for the meaning of the group, you can understand that it is the chamber of commerce, but our business is more diversified, involving many aspects, there will be a lot of sub-chambers of commerce, and the general chamber of commerce is in Beijing, so it is collectively called the group! ”

"The concubine understands! That's a good name! Empress Zhou said with a smile.

"Zhou Guozhang is in charge of the business in the north, Tian Guozhang is in charge of the business in the south, I will share 40% of the profits, it can also be said to be shares, give them to the two of them, let them share it with those businessmen, they will decide how much they are, and then make a list for me! When the two of them are confirmed, let them come to see me! Chongzhen smiled.

"The concubine obeys!" Empress Zhou and Concubine Tian said at the same time.

In this way, this super multinational group with the world's largest strength in the future and even in the future was born in Daming.

"So be it! Gonggong Cao, summon Yuan Guifei and Concubine Yuan to Kunning Palace and dine together! Chongzhen commanded.

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun smiled and agreed to go out.
