Chapter Fifty-Six: Carry Out the Thick Black to the End
With Zhu Daolin's solemn promise, Xu Hongji, Wu Gonggong and others no longer had any concerns, and then clarified their respective shares and signed the contract in five copies one by one.
Everyone put away the contract, and began to negotiate intensively on the setting up of the branch of the money bank in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Ningshao, and the capital, and it took only more than half an hour to talk while eating, and successfully reached an agreement on how to straighten out the relations between various places, how to set up the branch in the most suitable place in each place, the selection criteria for the shopkeeper of each semicolon, how to formulate stricter rules, and the number of coins minted each year for the acquisition, distribution and supply of copper materials to the emperor, the safety and security of the money houses in various places and how to carry out the escort of a large number of copper coins, and so on. All the implementation to each shareholder, the efficiency is very high, Zhu Daolin also saw from the heated discussion, the shareholders have been hiding the huge strength.
Several seniors laughed at Zhu Daolin's question of "possible vicious competition between peers", and did not take other money houses to heart at all.
Zhu Daolin was worried, gritted his teeth and directly said the sharp and abrupt question that he saw from the history books that "the Donglin Party is the agent of famous families and big landowners in all parts of the Yangtze River".
The careful Ying Changpei saw that the worry in Zhu Daolin's eyes was still unabated, so he had to lean up and whisper in his ear:
"No matter how powerful the officials and rich gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are, as well as those big families who have been manipulating the Donglin Party for many years to shout the forbidden sea and secretly build ships and trade in the sea, they will not dare to offend the middle-of-the-road Daming nobles."
"Brother Xian, don't forget that there are still a few powerful but unrevealing princes and marquis in the capital, and the six Bofu branches opened in the capital after the beginning of the spring will all join in as shareholders, and even today's saint has issued a decree to Gonggong Wu, ordering Gonggong Wu to find ways to mint more copper coins to make up for the inner treasury no matter how difficult it is."
"Therefore, there is no need to worry about this, even if a certain Donglin Party member who is not long-eyed jumps out and barks, it will not harm our interests, in addition to the Donglin Party itself, who else has not been scolded by them in these years? Rabid dogs bark day, ignore it! It really annoys us, and the people who jump out will not be able to eat and walk around. ”
At this time, Zhu Daolin was finally relieved, and when he saw Hou Ye Zhang, who was full of red light, raised his wine glass to himself again, his heart moved, he looked at the little Hou Ye who had been kneeling in the corner for more than an hour, and bent down to plead with Hou Ye Zhang very sincerely:
"Master Hou, speaking of today's biggest mistake, it should be remembered on the juniors, if the juniors are not so arrogant, and say a few more words to the virtuous brother of Deyi in a friendly manner, there will be no misunderstanding, so, the juniors once again ask to spare the virtuous brother of Deyi this time, otherwise the juniors will not only eat and drink badly, but also deeply blame themselves for this matter!"
Everyone immediately stopped and looked at Marquis Zhang with a smile, and the little Marquis who was kneeling in the corner with swollen knees and trembling also quietly raised his swollen face, and the resentment in his eyes couldn't help but fade a lot.
Who knew that Zhang Houye immediately sank his face, and refused loudly without looking at his little son in the corner:
"Virtuous nephew, don't pay attention to that little brute, this matter is not once or twice today, in the past two years, in order to wipe the butt of the little beast who has been taught repeatedly, my face and his mother are about to be lost, you sit down and drink, let the little beast kneel and reflect on it! Leave this alone, sit down, and have a few drinks with me. ”
Zhu Daolin is even more difficult, looking left and right and finding that Wei Guogong, Wu Gonggong and Old Man Ying are still full of smiles, it seems that they have already seen a lot of things, and Xu Wenjue, the prince of the small country of his own generation, and Zhang Dezhong, the real little marquis, are very grateful to Zhu Daolin who is righteous, but he is worried that even he will be scolded as soon as he opens his mouth, so no matter how sympathetic the little brother Zhang Deyi is, he does not dare to intercede for him.
Seeing that no one helped him beat the side drum, Zhang Houye picked up the wine glass again, and Zhu Daolin, who was in a dilemma, simply carried out the thick black to the end, gritted his teeth and strode to the poor Zhang Deyi, knelt beside Zhang Deyi with a "bang", and then closed his eyes and didn't say a word.
The sudden move stunned the entourage of the hall was dumbfounded, and also made the Marquis Zhang, Wei Guogong, Wu Gonggong, and Old Man Ying, who had no mental preparation, dumbfounded, but the cunning Ying Changpei was stunned and then rolled his eyes, and quickly ran over and pretended to pull Zhu Daolin up, and the two eldest sons who were deeply moved also rushed to help seriously, and said Brother Zhu, why are you so hard?
Wei Guogong and Zhang Houye quickly calmed down, frowning and waiting for Ying Changpei and the three to pull Zhu Daolin up, who knew that Ying Changpei and the two eldest sons pulled back and forth, but they couldn't pull Zhu Daolin, who knelt straight and upright beside Zhang Deyi, but made himself panting like a cow.
At this time, Wei Guogong and Zhang Houye were shocked, they knew very well how strong their sons were trained from childhood to adulthood, they usually competed with the best players in the army, and the sons of both of them could easily deal with two or three, but they didn't expect that they couldn't use any ability in front of Zhu Daolin.
Gonggong Wu, who was hiding but not revealing, was also shocked, he took the lead in front of Zhu Daolin, smiled and motioned to Ying Changpei to stand aside, and then stretched out his hands, wanting to weigh how deep Zhu Daolin's Taoism was.
Zhu Daolin raised his hands to meet Wu Gonggong's hand, took a turn and finally sent it gently, and forced the tall and burly Wu Gonggong to take half a step back, and when he was finished, he apologized and pleaded guilty, but he still knelt beside Zhang Deyi, who was full of horror.
Gonggong Wu shouted that the future life was terrifying, but Wei Guogong laughed instead: "Brother Xian, since Dao Lin Xian and nephew have done this, you still spare your boy, otherwise you have to go and help Dao Linxian's nephew up, whether you can help it up is another matter, at least Brother Fool has always admitted that Wu Gonggong's skills are still a little bit better than our brothers, haha!" Grandpa Wu, don't roll your eyes! Ha, haha! ”
Marquis Zhang was completely out of line, so he had to viciously ask his eldest son to drag his younger son up, and then gently helped Zhu Daolin, who was full of shame, up:
"Virtuous nephew, why are you doing this? Alas! Don't say it, you have to be angry when you say it, go, drink with me, and tell me how to adjust the binoculars you sent...... What focal length? ”
Zhu Daolin happily obeyed, respectfully made a gesture of armrest, followed Hou Ye Zhang back to the wine table and sat down, stopped drinking, picked up the telescope on the table and explained in detail.
Zhang Deyi knelt for too long, tired and hungry and was slapped by his father and swollen half of his face, helping his eldest brother to stand up and shaking, he couldn't move his steps at all, and stood in the corner for a long time before his legs obeyed, and listened to his eldest brother ask him to apologize to Zhu Daolin, who had become Zhu Shi's brother, and suddenly his stomach was full of reluctance, although he no longer resented Zhu Daolin, and because Zhu Daolin was willing to kneel down and intercede for him, he was moved, but how could he not let go of this face?
However, if you don't apologize and thank you, I'm afraid that you will have to be beaten by your hot-tempered father when you turn around, so Zhang Deyi hesitated and stood in place in embarrassment.
The sharp-eyed third brother Ying came at the right time, and affectionately instructed Brother Deyi to go back and rub the medicine to reduce the swelling first, and by the way, he quietly took away more than 100 brothers in the courtyard who were affected, and all the rest was up to him and Brother Zhu Shi to help wipe their buttocks.
Zhang Deyi was immediately overjoyed, nodded gratefully to the righteous third brother Ying, quietly glanced at his father, who was talking to Zhu Shibrother in a low voice with his back to him, and immediately begged his eldest brother to help block the point, and then quietly slipped out of the door along the wall.

PS: There may be a lot of controversy in this chapter, but Juhuo thinks that in the current situation, it is not a wise move to go against the Hou Ye Zhang's family. In fact, Zhu Daolin led Zhang Deyi to be fooled, and those who have a heart only need to investigate a little to understand that this kneeling can dissolve many intangible things.
As for the man having gold under his knees, now Zhu Daolin's top priority is to gain a firm foothold at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and first unite one part of the forces to deal with the other part of the force.
Of course, the benevolent and the wise are wise, and everyone is welcome to discuss in the book review area!
