1158 How Much Is Thirty Percent Profit?
Zhao Hongyu and his party did not wait long outside the Qinzheng Hall before they were summoned in by the inner attendant.
Hattori Chizuru and Rodernyi, as well as Wang Fuzi, all followed Zhao Hongyu to meet Da Mingzi, originally with the identity of the three of them, it was impossible to meet Zhu Shangwu.
However, for the five million taels of silver for Bai Huahua, it was not impossible for Zhu Shangwu to make an exception to meet them.
Who made Zhao Hongyu rich.
At this time, being rich is a father.
Zhu Shangwu is short of money, while Zhao Hongyu is rich.
Then, there is nothing wrong with those who lack money in order to properly please the rich.
This is what Zhu Shangwu is doing now.
Besides, Zhu Shangwu also wanted to see what these rich people from the Americas were like.
And these rich people are not ordinary people, they are all descendants of the Zhao and Song dynasties who died hundreds of years ago.
Just this point, it's worth making an exception for Zhu Shangwu, isn't it.
However, when Zhao Hongyu and the others walked in, Zhu Shangwu was a little disappointed.
Zhao Hongyu, who was the leader, made his eyes light up when he arrived, no matter in terms of clothing or demeanor, Zhu Shangwu saw something completely different from the Ming people.
It's a feeling, a feeling that can't be put into words.
It was a feeling that made him feel new.
However, he was disappointed when he saw Rodelni following behind Zhao Hongyu, Hattori Chizuru, and Wang Fuzi, who was dressed in the costume of a Confucian scholar.
This American crown prince is beside him, how can he follow the Franco-Rang and the Japanese?
It's weird.
Zhu Shangwu is no stranger to the Francophone and the Japanese people.
The clergy of the European Church had already come to the capital in the Ming Dynasty and had met the Ming Emperor. Just four years ago, a French priest from Spain came to the capital.
However, the purpose of these clergy coming to the East was to develop the power of their churches.
This purpose. Of course it's impossible to get there.
But it is precisely because of this that Zhu Shangwu is not so strange to these yellow-haired and blue-eyed Europeans.
The Wa people are even simpler, after all, the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom are very close to each other, and although the Wa Kingdom began to close the country under the rule of the Ishida Shogunate, the trade with the Ming Dynasty was still carried out.
Therefore, there are many Japanese merchants who will occasionally come to the Ming realm to do business.
At the same time, the shogunate would also send envoys to the Ming Dynasty to meet the emperor.
Early years. When Zhu Shangwu ascended the throne, he met the Japanese people.
Therefore, they are no strangers to the Japanese people.
It's just that for Zhu Shangwu, whether they are Japanese or Franco, they are all citizens of a small country in Fanbang, and Zhu Shangwu looks down on them from the bottom of his heart.
I felt some cordiality to Zhao Hongyu, who was also of Chinese blood and the royal prince and nobles a hundred years ago.
Perhaps, this is the relationship between the same Yanhuang bloodline.
Walking into the Qinzheng Palace, Wang Fuzi knelt on the ground and bowed.
Chizuru Hattori also knelt on the ground. Japanese etiquette to Zhu Shangwu.
Rodrini knelt on one knee and performed the European knightly salute.
Only Zhao Hongyu stood there, and Zhu Shangwu only arched his hand.
After Eunuch Xue, who was standing beside Zhu Shangwu, saw it, he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.
Because of Zhao Hongyu's style. That's really unreasonable.
One is not good, it is not impossible for Zhu Shangwu to get angry and let people push Zhao Hongyu out of the gang to kill his head.
However, Zhu Shangwu didn't care about these when he arrived.
After all, Zhao Hongyu is in Zhu Shangwu's eyes. That's a great God of Wealth.
They brought five million taels of silver, plus a million stone of grain.
So, this little unreasonable is nothing.
Of course. Zhu Shangwu himself is also a wonderful, if there is a different emperor, Zhao Hongyu may really be more auspicious.
After some introductions and greetings, Zhu Shangwu still didn't hold back, and asked directly to the topic.
"I've heard that you're going to lend me five million taels of silver? Is this true? “
After Zhu Shangwu asked, he also felt that he was a little too anxious.
How can this matter be asked so directly, it should be tactful.
Although he regretted it a little in his heart, he asked all the questions now, and it was useless to regret it, right?
And even if it's tactful, don't you still have to talk about this issue at the end of the day?
Look at these people in the Qinzheng Palace, except for Eunuch Xue and a few chamberlains, Zhu Shangwu even removed the guards.
In order to not want more people to know about borrowing money, it can be regarded as saving face for themselves.
Since the people around him are eunuchs, then if you ask, you will ask.
Zhao Hongyu also froze, because he also felt that Zhu Shangwu's question was too direct.
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu's heart was still in turmoil.
The reason is very simple, because the Ming Emperor he is facing now is not the short-lived ghost Chongzhen he knows at all, but a young fat man named Zhu Shangwu.
Zhao Hongyu knew that if he didn't understand the history of the Ming Dynasty, he would also begin to fork in the road.
Otherwise, how could this guy named Zhu Shangwu appear out of thin air.
You must know that in the time and space where Zhao Hongyu is located, there is no such person named Zhu Shangwu who has ever existed.
And in this time and space, Zhu Shangwu really existed, and he also appeared in front of him.
Grandma's!
This can be regarded as Lao Tzu's complete messing up of time and space.
But it's okay, since there has been a deviation in history, then Lao Tzu will continue to stir his little wings.
After a brief shock, Zhao Hongyu quickly recovered.
For a traverser, can the problems he encounters now be greater than the whole person traversing?
Obviously, this is not possible.
And Zhao Hongyu, who has been living in this era for more than three years, has more or less improved his resilience.
From the initial shock to the recovery, it was just a short period of time.
At this moment, Zhu Shangwu's words just fell.
"Your Majesty, five million taels of silver. The grain of a million stone was real at that time. This is not true, I vouch for it! ”
Zhao Hongyu stood there and replied soundly.
Zhu Shangwu waited anxiously for Zhao Hongyu's response, and finally let go of half of his hanging heart.
"Quick! Fast! Look! ”
Zhu Shangwu took a look, and people were still standing there.
Although there is no need to be so polite to Zhao Hongyu, there is no helpless person who has money now.
Don't say anything else, just rush to other people's five million taels of silver, and give someone a seat himself.
You must know that because of this matter of silver, Zhu Shangwu has had a headache for a long time.
Especially the military situation in Liaodong is critical, and the Jurchen army outside the capital is approaching the city. All of this requires money and food.
Without money and food, it would be difficult to say.
Which is more important, even if it is as strange as Zhu Shangwu, it is also understood.
Soon, the chamberlain brought a stool.
Zhao Hongyu was not polite, and immediately sat down.
The next topic basically revolves around borrowing money and how and when it will be repaid.
After all, it was the first time to borrow money, and Zhu Shangwu had never had such an experience, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and overwhelmed.
Think about it, Zhu Shangwu is the pride of the sky. Born to be an emperor.
Ever since he was a child, he has never worried about silver.
Not to mention borrowing money.
If he needs it, isn't it a matter of words?
The people around him would have prepared it for him early.
But now it is different, Zhu Shangwu is anxious because of the military situation in Liaodong and the Jurchen army outside the capital.
So. He also had to catch the ducks on the shelves, and the first thing he asked others to borrow money from.
It didn't take much effort to borrow money, and it was quickly decided.
Zhao Hongyu has the intention to lend money to this Zhu Shangwu. Let him get through this difficulty, and continue to fight with the Jurchens after the difficulty.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu did not embarrass His Majesty the emperor too much.
But. A little obstacle is still necessary.
Otherwise, how would he carry out his plan?
Only after making His Majesty the Emperor feel embarrassed can his plan be implemented smoothly.
"Five million taels of silver, one million stones of grain, Your Highness can return it to me next year." As for the interest, I will ask for less, less than the ordinary people outside, and when the time comes, if His Highness repays the silver, he will give a thirty percent interest. “
Burst!
After Eunuch Xue, who was standing beside Zhu Shangwu, heard this, he suddenly couldn't help but almost squirt.
Well, the usury was actually put on the emperor.
I have to say that this crown prince from the Americas is also a wonderful flower and has a fight with his own majesty.
However, what made Eunuch Xue even more unexpected was that his majesty, who liked to study spring painting skills, was actually busy nodding his head and agreeing, and he also looked grateful.
Oh my God.
Your Majesty, don't you know how much the three percent of the Dao is profitable?
Five million taels of silver, and then six and a half million taels will have to be repaid.
If it doesn't come out, it's a big deal.
Although Eunuch Xue is a person in the palace, he is no stranger to such a business as usury.
In fact, they, the eunuchs who have some power in the palace, will occasionally find someone to help them lend money outside.
"Your Majesty, did you agree too quickly, do you know how much the thirty percent profit is?"
Eunuch Xue couldn't help it anymore at this time, and reminded his emperor in a whisper.
At this time, Zhu Shangwu was still immersed in the excitement of solving a big problem for Daming.
Originally, he thought it would be difficult to borrow money, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to solve.
As for Zhao Hongyu, he didn't take the five million taels of silver seriously at all, so he thought it was like a family, and negotiated with Zhu Shangwu.
This made the surrounding people feel very incredible.
Five million taels of silver and one million stone of grain, it's so easy?
Damn, this is too much to take silver for silver.
Others don't know the Dao, but these eunuchs around Zhu Shangwu know the details of the Ming Dynasty treasury.
"How much is Sanchengli, I don't think it's a lot. Moreover, it is profitable for the common people to borrow money, since I asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to borrow so much silver, is it not possible to give some profit? If this spreads, won't it make people laugh at me for being stingy? “
After Zhu Shangwu heard this, he responded in a daze. (To be continued......)
