With Luo Zhengrong's drunken words, Zhang Zhongjun realized that don't look at this Luo Zhengrong as a small official who holds the power to purchase 50 million taels of silver a year, but he can't use up this power, and many times, the above will force him to purchase some rags at the highest market price.

However, although he is aggrieved, as long as the person who gave the order from above is still there, he can sit in this position, and he can get some oil and water from it every year.

But the bitter part is that he doesn't dare to mess with him at all, because once he messes around, not only those who are staring at him will immediately jump out and bite him, but even his backers will destroy him. Because this is tantamount to robbing the backer of profits.

As long as Zhang Zhongjun's timber is good and bought at market price, no one can say anything at all, even his backer will not say anything, because timber like Zhang Zhongjun is one of the procurement tasks, but it is also the least profitable.

Luo Zhengrong cried and complained, a nephew who was backing the mountain, he meowed nearly 100 camphor trees cut from the nearby mountains, and he meowed the kind of camphor trees that are only one year old, which is 30 wen a piece according to the rules. actually said that it was golden silk nanmu, the kind worth 10,000 taels. Just like that, he blackmailed 1 million taels of silver.

Fortunately, it was the nephew of the backer who did it, and the backer also pretended to scold his nephew and endorsed this, so that the people waited for a sum of money to buy 100 real golden silk nanmu to make up for it. As for the money, it's a mess of making fake accounts or something. At that time, everyone was full of resentment.

Zhang Zhongjun blinked his eyes and couldn't help asking, "Big brother, how much does our Great Chen Dynasty earn in a year?"

Luo Zhengrong, who was already drunk and hazy, said casually: "The tax is not much, only three or four hundred million taels, but many important profiteering industries are in the hands of the government, so our Dachen Dynasty is not short of money, as long as there is a way, it is easy to make a million taels of net worth casually." ”

"But it's a pity, a petty official like us has no way at all, even if he peeks into the door, he is not qualified to share the profits! So brother, our business has to be done for a long time! Whether the old brother can develop in the future depends on you!" Luo Zhengrong patted Zhang Zhongjun on the shoulder and said.

"No problem, little brother, I'm looking forward to the business for a long time!" Zhang Zhongjun first patted his chest and said, and then asked pretending to be curious: "By the way, big brother, have you heard about the White Lotus Sect going to cause trouble in the near future?"

"Haha, you also know? Oh, that's right, your water forest area is just adjacent to Shanzhou Mansion and Meiyuan Mansion, haha, the White Lotus Sect is going to cause trouble in Meiyuan Mansion, Shanzhou Mansion, and Jiezhou Mansion, and the people below don't know, where will we officials not know, not only our officials know, but even those gangs also know that the forces of the Sanyun Gang have long left Shanzhou Mansion and Jiezhou Mansion. Luo Zhengrong smiled disapprehantly.

Zhang Zhongjun's heart was desolate, damn, all the officials knew about it? But it was because he knew that Fengwutang and the Three Fortunes Gang had contracted the power and wealth of the land of the Three Mansions, so he analyzed that the White Lotus Sect was going to cause trouble in the land of the Three Mansions! Was he blocked by the officialdom? Or was he abandoned? At least if the government didn't communicate with him, Yide Palace should also communicate with him, right? Did he fail to be such a man?

And he meowed, listening to Luo Zhengrong's tone, both the government and the gang didn't care at all about the fact that the White Lotus Sect was going to ravage the countryside of the three mansions!

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, aren't you worried about the White Lotus Sect's attack on Magong Town?"

"What? Attack Magong Town?! Hahaha, give the White Lotus Sect nine dares, they don't dare to attack Magong Town! That's right, even if the White Lotus Sect dares to attack the capital city of Shanzhou, they won't dare to attack Magong Town!" Luo Zhengrong said proudly.

"Ah, big brother, aren't you talking drunk? You said that the White Lotus Sect didn't dare to attack the city, that's normal, but you actually said that the White Lotus Sect didn't dare to attack Magong Town? Just kidding? People rebelled against professional households, and even the entire Great Chen Dynasty was not afraid, but still need to be afraid of just one town?" Zhang Zhongjun asked deliberately with his tongue.

"Haha, brother, you don't know anything. The White Lotus Sect is wreaking havoc in the townships, and it is only the old turtles in the countryside who are offended, and they may not even be able to offend, because these days, the rich landlords in the surrounding countryside have moved into the city one by one with their family wealth, don't you see that the market in Magong Town is more prosperous than last time? It is because all these landlords and old wealth have moved in. ”

"And even if the White Lotus Sect breaks through the Shanzhou capital city, it will only offend the officials in the province, and it will make the provincial capital angry and mobilize troops in advance to suppress them, which is a normal phenomenon. But if they dare to move Magong Town, hehe, our Magong Town has all kinds of powerful shops in the southeast region, and even the shops of the princes are here, and the shipyard is even more terrifying, I don't know how many big families on the sea are involved, so if the White Lotus Sect dares to move Magong Town, Gaga, I can't say that the White Lotus Church will really perish!"

"So brother, you can trade with my brother and me with peace of mind, even if the entire Guangnan Province is in chaos, Magong Town will be as stable as Mount Tai!" Luo Zhengrong patted Zhang Zhongjun's shoulder and shouted proudly.

Zhang Zhongjun was a little stunned, the White Lotus Sect was in danger of real destruction in Magong Town? This Magong Town near the sea actually had the prince's shop? This is really unimaginable!

"Well, big brother, Magong Town is so awesome, I always thought that only the provincial capital of Quang Nam Province would be so awesome!" Zhang Zhongjun said in amazement.

"Gaga, Guangnan Mansion is just a convenient place to occupy the geographical advantage and the name of the provincial capital, if you really want to talk about interests, the annual flow of Magong Town is definitely not less than that of Guangnan Mansion, but unfortunately, most of the profits have been siphoned off, but even the little interests left are super awesome, otherwise have you seen a few towns with county-level city walls and officials?" Luo Zhengrong smiled again.

"Well, what if you want to take away the profits for Mao? If those profits are retained, it is impossible to say that Magong Town can become a big port, at least this port is very advantageous, and the Wenlong River is big and wide and connects many places. Zhang Zhongjun said casually again.

"There's no way, the big heads are all under the control of the princes, His Royal Highness wants to take them away, what can be done locally? And with other people, they only regard this place as a transit place to make money, and they don't know when and what month will make Magong Town a big port!" Luo Zhengrong said with emotion.
