"Bang-"

The copper hammer in Yang Zhuo's hand fell, knocked on the wooden case in front of him, and the final word, 12 million, the right to allocate the green seedlings for five years of the Jiangnan Qingmiao Law, and finally fell into the pocket of Wanjia.

Together, there is also the emperor's personal inscription of the "righteous merchant" plaque, the identity of the "imperial merchant", and the identity equivalent to the identity of the attendant from the seven grain transports. It has to be eye-catching.

But then again, if they were replaced, they might not be willing to spend more than 12 million taels to snatch back the right to allocate the seedlings from the pockets of 10,000 families—it was really too expensive!

"Father," the crown prince was overjoyed, and even his voice revealed a joy that could not be concealed, "In the end, it was Wan Hui of Wanjia Qianzhuang in the capital who won the right to allocate the green seedlings of the Jiangnan Qingmiao Law for five years, and he also asked his father to give him a favor." ”

"There's no hurry."

Emperor Mingzong's deep voice came from behind the screen.

This sudden change surprised both the crown prince and Wan Hui, and the rest of the gentry and magnates also held their breath: This is - what does the emperor mean when he is dissatisfied?

All eyes fell on the prince, Li Yan and Wan Hui in front of the screen, like a thorn in the back.

Emperor Mingzong glanced at Lin Ruo, who was also puzzled, and did not read anything unusual from her face, and then looked at the prince who was a little uneasy and Wan Hui who knelt on the side and bowed his head calmly through the screen of the yarn.

Wan Jia is indeed a good candidate, and among these merchants in Beijing, he is also the most favorite. However, all this was too "natural" to make him suspicious. Especially before that, the one that the prince asked for. If the crown prince colluded with Wan Jia beforehand, then ......

Emperor Mingzong snorted coldly in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Wan Hui? Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you a few questions for the people of Jiangnan. Be sure to answer truthfully. ”

Wan Hui bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, the grass people obey the order." ”

Lin Ruo on the side nodded as if he was suddenly puzzled, Emperor Mingzong quietly withdrew his gaze, looked at Wan Hui, and asked, "Why didn't you bid with the Lu family and the Bai family before, and only raised your cards to bid before the hammer fell in the end?" ”

Wan Hui kowtowed, and then said unhurriedly: "If you go back to the emperor, before bidding, I heard from His Royal Highness the Prince: Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice in Donglu, and the number of farmers is no less than 800,000. The grass people listened to the good words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and did not participate in the bidding at the beginning. ”

This explanation is reasonable, at the beginning, the bidding of these gentry and magnates was really crazy. Come to think of it, there are not a few people who have the same idea as Wan Hui. It's just that the further back it goes, the higher the price becomes, the more ridiculously high it gets, so that the businessmen who have been watching and waiting for the opportunity give up and quit. Especially the bidding of Lu Yiran and Bai Que in the end.

Wan Hui said that Emperor Mingzong had accepted half of the suspicion of the crown prince. Maybe the crown prince has the ability to make Wan Hui and Bai Que raise the price, but he doesn't have the ability to move the Lu family. The Lu family and King Ye have long been deeply entangled, and Emperor Mingzong also knows this from the secret report of Yihuowei. However, it cannot be completely proved that the crown prince and Wan Hui did not collude.

"The final price of the hammer is the price that the grass people and their subordinate bookkeepers can afford after a rough calculation. At most, another 500,000 taels will be added, and if it is higher, the grass farmers will not be able to increase the price again, so they can only give up. Wan Hui also admitted his bottom price, "After all, there are many farmers in the south of the Yangtze River, and they need to prepare summer materials and autumn materials, which are not small amounts." The interest paid by the farmers is two cents per quarter, and the right to allocate the green seedlings is only five years, and then the price is increased...... The benefits are real...... It's a little thin. ”

In the last sentence, Wan Hui's voice was a little small, but it seemed that what he said was true.

It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, and those who come to the bidding for Xinglou today are basically because of the low interest rate and high interest of the green seedlings, so they come to participate in the bidding. If you find that the profit is too small, it will naturally not be attractive enough.

But...... The profit calculated by Wanjia seems to be different from others. Most of them gave up before the bid reached 10 million taels. Doing what you can is one thing, but profit is a more important consideration. After all, those who can sit here and bid have a huge net worth of money are not a small amount.

Emperor Mingzong asked this question, Wan Hui had some hesitation and embarrassment on his face, and after thinking about it again and again, he said: "If you go back to the emperor, the emperor will ask you about it, and the grass people will not dare to hide it, but ...... This matter involves the operation of my family, and the grass people are courageous, so please ask the emperor to allow the grass people to give each other privately. ”

"Bold!"

As soon as Wan Hui said this, the commander of the forbidden army on the side immediately stopped talking.

At this time, although Wanjia finally bid for the highest price, the emperor has not yet issued an order to hand over the right to allocate the seedlings to Wanjia, that is, he has not yet made a decision. Because of this, it is impossible to wave these merchants out of the Star Picking Tower. If you want to meet in private, you can only go around the screen to face the saint, or even ask the emperor to listen to him and whisper.

A businessman dares to make such a request, it is simply bold!

If there is a dissenting intention and takes the opportunity to assassinate the emperor, who should be responsible for the consequences?

However, Emperor Mingzong only hesitated a little, stopped the commander of the forbidden army, and agreed to Wan Hui's request.

Wan Hui was overjoyed in his heart, and in the envious red eyes of the merchants, he walked around behind the screen, and did not dare to raise his head, but he also saluted Emperor Mingzong, Murong Chong, and Lin Ruo. Su Muyu didn't care about it, but he pouted dissatisfiedly and stood aside.

Princess Rong Lin Ruo is a member of the Lin family, and the Lin family's financial resources are so strong that it is difficult for thousands of families to reach them. However, in the eyes of others, the Lin family, the Wan family, and the Lu family all have the strength to fight, and the difference in strength is not too big. Lin Ruo was present, and Wan Hui had some scruples after all.

Lin Ruo offered to avoid it, but the emperor didn't say much, nor did he give Wan Hui a chance to get close, but asked the old eunuch Chen Guan to step forward and listen to Wan Hui explain the reason in detail with his ears, and then he relayed it to his own ear on his behalf.

Wan Hui knew that this was already a great grace to the emperor, looking at the old eunuch, the time he had been with the emperor would not be short, and he must be one of the most trusted people around the emperor, and he didn't dare to take Qiao at the moment, so he told Chen Guan what he should say, put on a smile, and respectfully saluted Chen Guan.

Chen Guan naturally relayed Wan Hui's words to the emperor one by one, Emperor Mingzong raised his eyes, glanced at Wan Hui meaningfully, chuckled, and then glanced at Lin Ruo with a smile, looking at Lin Ruo inexplicably.

With a wave of his hand, Wan Hui retreated beyond the screen.

Lin Ruo was a little curious, what Emperor Mingzong looked at him, but he knew the severity and didn't ask in the court.

Emperor Mingzong sat upright, gave the old eunuch Chen Guan a look, and said in a deep voice: "Declare the decree." ”

The old eunuch Chen Guan immediately stood up straight and said sharply: "The emperor has an order, kneel ——! "Hundred Plating" The latest chapter of "Female Businesswoman Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
