Standing up and going around the circle chair, Zhu Youning lifted the red silk cloth covering the Feilong soup and the plaque carried by the Buddha Eighth Master.

"Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce" four bronzing characters are shining brightly in front of you, and the conspicuous imperial seal on the plaque is particularly eye-catching.

This is the plaque of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce inscribed by the Holy Imperial Pen. If everyone is willing to share the donation of 400,000 taels of silver, this plaque belongs to the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, if someone is not willing to donate, I will not force it, I will set up another Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, who is willing to donate, will follow me. ”

Threat! This is clearly a threat to everyone!

Cheng Zhujun looked at Zhu Youning's appearance when he was talking, and the jealousy in his heart was even worse, and he did not hide his ridicule at all.

"Miss Zhu's words are simply a big joke in the world! The establishment of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is not a day or two, the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce has existed for a long time, older than your age! Why are you ashamed to say that you want to set up another Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce! All of you here are your elders, so why should you order them to follow you! It's ridiculous! ”

Zhu Youning looked at Cheng Zhujun with a smile, and said meekly with a good temper: "Boss Cheng is a little calm. I didn't force the bosses here. The silver was donated by me in the name of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the saint admired the virtue of the merchant who donated it, so he issued a plaque and a gift. Those who can share the emperor's grace together must naturally be businessmen who can donate, otherwise wouldn't it be a bully? ”

Cheng Zhujun will be bullied, and his eyelids jump.

Chairman Lin and several senior bosses also had solemn faces.

The button meat, which had been following behind the Flying Dragon Soup with a tray without saying a word, lifted the red silk covering the four treasures of the Imperial Scholar's Room in a timely manner, and said with a smile: "This plaque and the treasures of the Imperial Gift are enough to be heirlooms." This is the only one since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty! ”

The words of deducting meat were a wake-up call to all the bosses present.

- Don't just be angry, and don't listen to the boss of the Cheng family.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have been words about the unrighteousness and treachery of merchants on the teachings of the Holy Ancestors, which led to the status of merchants not being recognized by the imperial court.

The imperial court's suppression of merchants was so severe, and business was so difficult.

Now, the "Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce" plaque given by the Holy God is equivalent to the Holy Lord's recognition of the existence of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

What does this mean?

This means that in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce was the first and only chamber of commerce recognized by the Holy God. Is this honor a small one?

In the past, they were ashamed to be businessmen, but once they had these royal gifts, they could walk outside with their waists straight, and say with their heads held high, "I am from the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce!" ”

Don't say that outsiders are peers, I'm afraid I will envy them to death!

Therefore, the "heirloom treasure" mentioned by Beard is not an exaggeration at all.

All the bosses fell into deep thought, and even Cheng Zhujun, who was the most domineering, put aside his prejudice for the time being and thought about it carefully.

The more I thought about it, the more everyone's eyes lit up.

Zhu Youning looked around with a smile and said, "Four hundred thousand taels of silver is indeed a large amount, and it is a huge amount of money that falls on the heads of two people." But everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, what if everyone in our chamber of commerce shares some according to their own ability? ”

The bosses present were not all members of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. But there were also nearly thirty people gathered.

All of them are prominent figures in the business of various regions of Hangzhou Prefecture, not to mention hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, if one person comes up with 10,000 taels, 400,000 taels can be easily gathered.

Each person can join the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce recognized by the Holy God for 10,000 taels, and the benefits behind this are huge!

At this point, everyone's hearts have turned a big turn, and they have just angrily scolded Zhu Youning for doing things without thinking and being selfish in their own affairs, but now they all have a cordial and approving smile and give Zhu Youning a thumbs up.

"The honorary president is really clever, this silver is my share."

"Count me in. Miss Zhu has such a talent at such a young age, which is really admirable! ”

……

Some people took the lead, and the hesitant people saw that the people around them did this, and they were not far behind, and they all expressed their willingness to share the donation and contribute to the people along the Yellow River.

Cheng Zhujun's face was very stiff at this time.

She was not a stupid person, and naturally understood how tempting it was to be recognized by the Holy Beings as a merchant.

It's just that she scolded Zhu Youning too bluntly just now, and now in front of so many people, if she completely forgets what happened just now, and instead joins Zhu Youning's donation team with a smile, it will seem that she is too fickle and mercenary.

Cheng Zhujun is proud, and he is even more reluctant to bow his head and admit defeat in front of the people he hates. But so much interest is tempting her, it is also from the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the rest of the people are involved, but the Cheng family is excluded, which is too much of a loss.

Zhu Youning sat in Fang Cai's position, still so dignified. She didn't show any anger when she was pointed at her nose and scolded by everyone just now, but now she was flattered by those people in turn, and she didn't see the slightest hint of joy.

The old people sitting here have a little more understanding of Zhu Youning when he grows up.

President Lin couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw Zhu Youning sitting there, the old god was relaxing, and then looked at Cheng Zhujun's face that had turned black to the bottom of the pot.

Although Cheng Zhujun is older than Zhu Youning, he is still one level behind in dealing with things, and he is not as scheming as a little girl.

It's not just Cheng Zhujun. At this time, President Lin felt that all the bosses present were at the age of being Zhu Youning's father and grandfather, and if they were calculating, they might not be her opponents.

Now that the winner has been decided, there is no need to drill the horns again.

It was President Lin who took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Cheng Zhujun.

"In that case, then don't set up another Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. Our big guys gather firewood and the flame is high, and we don't need to spend much silver when we spread it, and it is not a problem to gather 400,000 taels of silver. ”

This naturally includes the Cheng family.

Cheng Zhujun secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she was worried that Zhu Youning would lose her face, so she couldn't help but look at Zhu Youning.

Zhu Youning smiled kindly: "What President Lin said is true. The content of the Holy Ancestor's teachings is so unbearable that we businessmen say, we have brought this unkind and unrighteous hat for so many years, and now that the Yellow River is flooding and the people are displaced, it is the time when the imperial court needs to use money and people, and it is time for those who look down on our businessmen to see what we really look like. ”

"Exactly."

"That makes sense."

"Although they are all running some small businesses, they can still make up two pieces of silver."

"Thank you a lot to Miss Zhu. In the capital, I didn't forget to benefit the big guys of our Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Yes, the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is the only one that has been recognized by the Holy Lord, and our silver is delivered, and the prestige of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce will be even higher."

……

The more you think about it, the more you feel that this business is a sure deal, and the benefits it brings to them are unimaginable before.

Zhu Youning imagined the bright future of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce with everyone.

She was very calm from beginning to end, and it seemed that if the bosses really didn't agree to donate, she would set up another door to raise money by herself.

But then she knew that she was actually still nervous, and she didn't want two Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce to fight in Hangzhou Mansion, so she didn't clearly tell the saint that what she said in the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion was empty words.

If the conservative ministers know about it, they will have another reason to make trouble.

Zhu Youning will never leave that kind of handle. Now it seems that her luck is good.

After doing such a big thing, although Cheng Zhujun still looked at Zhu Youning unpleasantly, when the Cheng family set up a banquet, Cheng Zhujun still took the initiative to toast Zhu Youning.

"Sister, don't blame my sister for being too impatient. I'm a straight-tempered man, and that's how I go. You and I are both rose people, and we are both women who came out at a young age to show their heads, women are often more difficult than men, we all know each other's difficulties, my sister should be able to understand, right? ”

Zhu Youning picked up the white porcelain cup filled with fruit brew in both hands, and clinked glasses with Cheng Zhujun a little lower.

Sister Cheng said seriously. It was the little sister who didn't make the words clear that caused her sister's misunderstanding. You have a large family in your hands, and you are right to be cautious. ”

"It's good that my sister can be considerate."

Cheng Zhujun smiled very gently, which made Zhu Youning feel goosebumps on his back.

It seems that over the past year, Miss Cheng's has really grown. If it was back then, with her arrogant temper, I am afraid she would not have said such beautiful words.

After the banquet, Zhu Youning temporarily placed the plaque and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone given by the emperor in President Lin's office.

"Now that we have this amount, our Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce should also buy an industry, and in the future, all the big guys will go to that place for gatherings, and it is also prudent to treat the things given by the emperor in this way."

President Lin smiled and nodded, "That's what you said." That's what I mean. These royal gifts will be placed in the old man's home for the time being, and when the location is selected in the past two days, we will hold a grand ceremony and officially hang the plaque. ”

"President Lin is thoughtful." Zhu Youning said with a smile: "It's bothering President Lin a lot." ”

"Where the words. To be able to seek such a great benefit for the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, all the bosses are grateful. Another day, the old man held a banquet at home, and invited Miss Zhu to enjoy the light. ”

"President Lin is so polite, and the little girl is honored."

Zhu Youning had a pleasant greeting with everyone, and was able to go to the house easily.

The matter has been done safely, and when Zhu Hualiang asked again, Zhu Youning avoided the important and said it lightly.

When Zhu Hualiang heard that Zhu Youning had raised 400,000 taels of silver, he first smacked his tongue for a while, and then analyzed the key points, and was even more dumbfounded, and his eyes changed when he looked at Zhu Youning.

It seems that he underestimated this niece. If he saw the old man at the age of three, the little fox did not become dull because he was locked in a cage for six years, but because he was full of poetry and books, his mind was clearer, his thinking was more open-minded, not only strategic, but also courageous.

Zhu Hualiang thought about the sons and daughters of the Zhu family's "Yan" generation, compared with Zhu Youning, who had done such a big thing in front of him and was still as calm as ever, those people were much worse than Zhu Youning in terms of means, courage, and demeanor.

Zhu Hualiang shook his head and sighed, it was really a trick, if Zhu Youning was a boy, he dared to guarantee that the next position of the head of the Zhu family would be hers.

Zhu Youning didn't know what Zhu Hualiang was thinking, as the bosses actively raised the 400,000 taels of silver, her mood became extremely relaxed, and she took the accompanying servants and maids, and called the Buddha Eight Masters, Feilong Soup, Buckle Meat and Xia Zongping to play in Hangzhou for two days.

President Lin's efficiency was amazing, and on the third day, he sent a post to Zhu Youning, saying that he had already selected a second-entry mansion to be listed.

Invite the imperial plaque into the house, and President Lin and Cheng Zhujun held a grand ceremony. It attracted the curiosity of local people and businessmen to watch.

Hearing that the plaque and the four treasures of the study are all gifts from the emperor, everyone knelt down and kowtowed, and those businessmen who were not qualified to join the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce suddenly reduced their brains more and more and wanted to join.

In the past, the chambers of commerce in various places were just some bosses in the business field gathering in one place to discuss some things.

Now, the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce has been recognized by today's saints, and its significance is naturally extraordinary.

In just a few days, the presidents of the chambers of commerce in the neighboring Yanzhou Mansion, Jiaxing Mansion, Huzhou Mansion and other places came to the location of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce first.

"I heard that the Holy God has given a golden plaque! We're here to see the heirlooms! ”

"The righteous act of the bosses of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is really touching the heavens and the earth, and it has done a great thing for our businessmen!"

"In order to emulate the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, for the sake of the imperial court, and for the sake of the people along the Yellow River, we have also raised some silver, which will be handed over to the Great Order to be transported to the disaster area."

……

Every time this kind of boss comes, President Lin will call Zhu Youning and Cheng Zhujun, and Zhu Youning will invite Zhu Hualiang to accompany him.

"I'm young and don't know how to deal with this, so please ask Uncle Liangtang to help you read more."

Zhu Hua's conscience has a better sense of Zhu Youning. Zhu Youning refused to take credit for this kind of good deed alone, but brought his cousin and let him show his face in front of his peers in Hangzhou and the surrounding state capitals, and by the way, he also made friends with many bosses and developed a lot of business opportunities. Zhu Hualiang naturally wrote down this favor.

In the letter to Mrs. Zhu, Zhu Hualiang was more careful about what happened around Zhu Youning, and gave great affirmation to Zhu Youning's talent and ability.

When Zhu Youning and the bosses of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce were busy receiving chambers of commerce from all over the world to pay respects to the imperial plaque, the streets and alleys of the capital were also full of rumors that the volunteers donated money to serve the country.

In the restaurant and tea shop, there is even a storyteller who talks about this book three times a day, and the enthusiasm of Renyibo and the righteous deeds of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is boiling, so that the people who listen to the book have a great change in their views of the businessman.

Even the young children in the streets and alleys have learned to talk about the merchants.

These contents, like wings that can fly, spread in the streets and alleys of Hangzhou within half a month.

When Zhu Youning took people to board the ship back to Fuyang, he also heard the boatmen on the dock discussing, and the words of praise were too exaggerated, which made Zhu Youning blush.
