"Let's get here today, I'm a little tired. You go back to each other first, what should you do? Jiang Qing, Luo Qing, the two of you will stay. Zhu Qizhen raised his hand, driving away this group of civil and military officials with evil intentions like chasing flies.

After a short time, the officials all retired and left, only Luo Hengxin, who looked puzzled, and Jiang Fu, who was uneasy, stayed. With Zhu Qizhen, he walked slowly on the path among the flowers and in the shade.

Zhu Qizhen didn't say anything along the way, and Luo Hengxin didn't understand what the Emperor Taishang wanted to say, so he could only be silent, but Jiang Fu thought much more than Luo Hengxin in his heart, for fear that the Emperor Taishang would be angry with his actions because he had not welcomed the Holy Driver before, and he simply led the army to wander for more than a month and refused to drive, so he was angry with his actions and attacked himself.

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, the trail of more than 100 steps made Jiang Fu walk as hard and fearful as crossing a knife mountain and a sea of fire.

Came to the pavilion in the back garden, where the huge trees are surrounded by huge trees, blocking the spicy light, and finally there is a cool breeze blowing through the face, after being served hot tea, Zhu Qizhen took a sip and smiled at the two: "There are no outsiders now, I have some sincere words, I want to talk to you well." ”

"Your Majesty, please." Luo Hengxin and Jiang Fu hurriedly got up and spoke.

"Sit down, in fact, I have something to say, I want to inform the two, first, I conceived this business group, not just one or two words, but have been prepared for a long time, after all, the tax of our Xuanfu is half of the agriculture and commerce, but there are often gentry and officials who take the opportunity to get involved in business, but they refuse to pay taxes with their official status."

"In previous years, it was fine, but now, Xuanfu agriculture is hard, and business has been suspended for nearly a year, if it is delayed again, let alone recruit soldiers, it is now 80,000 elite soldiers, it is difficult to maintain, now, the country is difficult, everywhere needs silver. Since I was the governor of the Xuanfu, I naturally didn't want to add any more burden to the court, so I thought of such a method. ”

"Gathering people and forming a business group can not only equalize the interests, but also make those merchants who maliciously compete useless, and save the tile spurs in vain. In addition, when the merchant group was formed, the buying and selling would naturally be much larger, and I had agreed with Bo Yan Pingzhang that the price of the grassland things purchased by the merchant group would be three cents lower than in previous years, and the price of the goods we sold to the grassland would also be three points lower. Zhu Qizhen said with his fingers crossed.

--------------------, "Your Majesty, in that case, wouldn't our Daming be a loss?" Jiang Fu couldn't help but speak.

Zhu Qizhen shook his head with a smile: "The price I said is the middle price of previous years, so, back and forth, it seems to be a loss, but in fact, it is not, in previous years, the trade between my Xuanfu and the grassland can only account for 30% at most, and closely, at least 50% can be obtained, and the extra 20%, the profit, I am afraid that it is a lot more than the six cents of profit we suffer, right?" ”

"That's right." Luo Hengxin is a pro-people official, and although he is not proficient in business actions, he knows a little bit about small profits and quick turnover. What's more, now that trade has been cut off from tile spurs for nearly a year, the Ming Dynasty's demand for leather, alkali, spices unique to the grassland, and other goods with the largest output on the grassland is even more urgent.

In the same way, the severance of trade for nearly a year has also caused a shortage of many materials on the prairie, such as tea, porcelain, and many necessities of life, but now, although it is said that there is a truce between the tile spur and the Ming Dynasty, the shadow caused by the war that occurred last year has not been eliminated.

Both sides are interested in business and trade, but each is afraid that the other party will not keep its promises, which is why Boyan will agree to reach an agreement with Zhu Qizhen. Moreover, such a long period of trade and trade will inevitably cause a large number of goods to be stockpiled, not to mention the furs and various goods on the grassland, that is, the tea, silk and porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, which have also accumulated a lot on the borders.

And Zhu Qizhen has already secretly instructed Ha Ming to secretly buy a batch at a low price, so that even if it is sold at a price three points lower than usual, it is actually more and more fierce than in the past, well, it can be regarded as making a fortune, but what Zhu Qizhen needs now is to urgently improve his competitiveness, not to mention, the main traders of the border trade are mostly some businessmen with a huge net worth, as well as civil and military officials from all over the country, and even the eunuchs guarding the town, and even some feudal kings close to the border towns have also intervened in it.

At least Lao Tzu still pays taxes, and those bastards don't even pay a copper plate to the state, thinking about it this way, Zhu Qizhen earns this money more comfortably.

Jiang Fu next to him didn't know much, but after Luo Hengxin explained a little, Jiang Fu quickly understood this truth, and after understanding, the ** who was eager to get rich in his heart couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Seeing Jiang Fu's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly. "You are an important minister of the court, I hope that you will be like Luo Qing and set an example for the civil and military forces of Xuanfu, I don't know ...... Jiang Qing"

"Minister, I am willing to share my worries for His Majesty the Emperor." Jiang Fu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to the ground and said earnestly.

"I know that you are rich in Xuanfu, but since you are just an example, you can do what you can." Zhu Shezhen raised his hand with a smile and helped Jiang Fu with a smile, and said with a warm smile.

"Your Majesty Xie......" After Jiang Fu thanked him, he suddenly felt that something was not right, looking at Zhu Qizhen's meaningful smile, and the words that he had deliberately mentioned that he was quite rich in Xuanfu, for a while, Jiang Fu felt that his legs that were about to stand up seemed so weak and powerless.

Zhu Qizhen didn't look at him anymore, moved his gaze to the grass and trees outside the pavilion, and said lightly: "I heard that you are quite close to Yan Shun, the eunuch guarding the town of Xuanfu Town, aren't you?" ”

"Your Majesty, Yan Shun is the eunuch guarding my Xuanfu Town, and he has the responsibility of supervising the army, so the ministers naturally have to be closer to him." Jiang Fu hurriedly replied, but the sweat on his face became denser and denser.

"I naturally know that there is a need for more communication between colleagues, but I listened to the people of Xuanfu, and when General Jiang came to Xuanfu, it was just a group of dozens of people and a few cars. But it has only been more than half a year since I arrived in Xuanfu, and I have been in Xuanfu City, with several houses, many shops, and dozens of acres of fertile land outside the city. Zhu Qizhen picked up the tea and took a sip, his voice still seemed so soft, but when it fell into Jiang Fu's ears, it was like rolling thunder.

"Your Majesty, these are by no means the gains of the ministers who forcibly oppress and oppress the good, but the gifts given by the colleagues of the Xuanfu. There are also eunuchs who want to give Weichen ......" Jiang Futou didn't dare to raise his head slightly, and the placket on his back was already soaked with sweat.

"Yes, it is common practice for colleagues to give gifts to each other, and I naturally won't blame it, but ......" Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but pause when he said this, and his eyes fell on Jiang Fu's body again, at this moment, Fang Cai's eyes were as warm as jade, and they were as sharp as knives. Do you think you should receive these gifts? Do you know how many sergeants sit in your five mansions and serve as servants? Do you know that the three shops given to you by the eunuchs of Xuanzhen are all things that are forcibly taken and oppressed by the people? ”

Zhu Qizhen's voice became higher and higher, his eyes became more and more intense, and his voice roared violently, shaking the surrounding grass and trees as if they were also trembling. Zhu Qizhen's palms were already clenched into fists, and he continued to shout at Jiang Fu, whose head was already against the blue bricks on the ground: "And the dozens of acres of fertile land you have obtained, all of which are life-saving fields cultivated by the guards and soldiers for several years of hard work?!" ”

"When you go to Xuanfu, you don't think about the pain of soldiers, you don't know the pain of people's livelihood, you just make good colleagues, accept bribes, and occupy soldiers, do you think, you still have the face to say that these are just gifts?!"

-------------------- saw that Zhu Qizhen's gaze was as sharp as a knife, and Jiang Fu suddenly felt cold, like immersing himself in an ice kiln.

The emperor in front of him is the master who dares to kill people on the street, just because the eunuch scorned a word, he was beheaded by him, you know, the eunuch is still a close servant of today's son, he wants to kill it, and the Son of Heaven doesn't even say a fart. And he has so many crimes in the hands of the Emperor Taishang, and he wants to kill himself, what can he do?

Thinking about this, Zhu Qizhen's anger and screaming frightened Jiang Fu, who was almost heartbroken, knocked on the blue brick again and again, and made a clanging sound. "Your Majesty, the minister, the minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty, and the minister will let the subordinates return those things one by one, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive the sin."

Zhu Qizhen sneered again and again, but he didn't say a word, and at this time, Luo Hengxin, who was old and sophisticated, still didn't understand the reason why Zhu Qizhen let him come with Jiang Fu, and he also bowed down to the ground and said: "Your Majesty, it is the first offense to read that General Jiang is a first offender, and besides, General Jiang has worked hard when he first arrived in Xuanfu. ”

"Hmph, if he hadn't done it, how would I have let him come here to talk?" Zhu Qizhen was very pleased that this old man Luo was really good at being a man, and the steps he gave were just right. I really can't slaughter Jiang Fu, the chief soldier, after all, Jiang Fu is the sister-in-law of Wu'anhou Zheng Neng, and Wu'anhou has made a lot of contributions to himself, and he has contributed a lot to himself in the court, just for this, Zhu Qizhen can't at least slaughter Jiang Fu.

Another reason is that Jiang Fu's surname is weak and easy to control, which is also convenient for Zhu Qizhen to meddle in the military and political affairs of the Xuan Mansion. Therefore, Jiang Fu must stay, but if he doesn't beat him hard and let him understand that many of the handles on his body are held in his hands, how can Zhu Qizhen easily use this person with confidence?

After hearing about Zhu Qizhen, Jiang Fu, who was already nervous to the extreme, couldn't help but feel relieved, and almost collapsed to the ground.
