"Stained?" Zhu Houwei asked with interest, "How does the Fang family plan to touch the light of this king?"

Ren Xing bowed and said: "Fang Cheng promised to give the Chunlai Restaurant to the palace to operate, and the Fang family will not take a penny, and if the prince does not agree with the current way of running the restaurant and wants to renovate it, the silver for this decoration will also come from the Fang family, but the Fang family wants to account for 20% of the dry shares."

"Twenty percent of dry shares, and the restaurant is also renovated for free." Zhu Houwei sneered: "Big companion, I think you are using the power of the palace to oppress the Fang family."

Ren Xing knelt down on the spot and cried: "King, you can unjustly kill the old slave, the old slave deliberately found someone to calculate the value of the Chunlai Restaurant, others also said that this restaurant is only worth six or seven thousand taels of silver at best, the slave maid is just to prevent outsiders from thinking that our Yongwang Mansion is oppressive, so the price for the Fang family is 10,000, this price has exceeded the original price of the restaurant, no one can find a reason, Fang Cheng himself feels that this restaurant will be handed over to the palace to operate after the day will be in the gold, so he took the initiative to send out the restaurant They occupy shares, I think it's decided that even 20% of the dry stocks are more than they are making now. ”

"Get up, this king doesn't blame the big companion, don't kneel at every turn."

"Slave and maid thank the king." Ren Xing got up, his shoulders shrugged.

"This Fang Cheng is a visionary, since he wants to occupy the shares, then promise to give him two shares, at this time he may just not want to offend this king, but this king will let him know how wise today's decision is."

Ren Xing hurriedly smiled and said, "What the king said is that being able to cooperate with the palace is a blessing that the Fang family has cultivated for several lifetimes."

"Sign a contract with him and tell Fang Cheng that it is the Fang family who voluntarily took the initiative to contribute."

"Well, the slave saved." Ren Xing nodded and said: "The old slave has arranged for someone to send invitations to the seventeen wealthy merchants in the city of Huzhou Mansion, so that they can come to the palace tomorrow, and you ...... you, Lord Wang."

"Yes." Zhu Houwei waved his hand.

The wind in the palace was light, but he didn't know that at this time, several wealthy businessmen who received invitations from the palace had already gathered together.

Mu Xiuzhu, the owner of the color forged cloth who is mainly engaged in the silk and satin cloth business, frowned and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, King Yong is sealed in Huzhou, and the blessing and misfortune are unpredictable for my Huzhou, but King Yong has just arrived, why did he summon me and other merchants?"

"Forcible seizure, coercion and extortion." Hu Zhe, who opened three big pawnshops in Huzhou Mansion, snorted coldly.

Chang Zhengyang, a big grain merchant, frowned and said: "It shouldn't be, Chang heard that King Yong was going to the capital of Fanhu Prefecture last year, and he specially sent someone to the capital to inquire, this King Yong is only thirteen years old, he has a calm temperament, likes to smelt iron and copper, but he has never heard of any bad deeds."

Hu Zhe said disdainfully: "The Ming Dynasty is raging among the people, and there are still fewer unscrupulous kings, I really can't figure out how those ministers in the court can agree to let the royal family seal the land."

Peng Ze, a big businessman who runs a jade business, sneered: "Don't forget that King Yong is the only brother of the saint today, the first emperor favored Queen Zhang in the world, and Queen Zhang gave birth to two princes and a princess, the princess died early, the two princes almost grew up together since childhood, the relationship is extraordinary, with the support of the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord, even if the cabinet wants to seal King Yong to the bitter cold land, it is impossible."

Su Zhe said a little impatiently: "What's the use of talking about these now, you are all leaders in Huzhou's business, but Huzhou is not just a few of us, and there must be more than a few of us invited by Yongwangfu, instead of speculating here, it is better to act when you go to Yongwangfu tomorrow."

"Brother Su's words are right." Peng Ze said with a smile: "Even if King Yong is the brother of the Son of Heaven, there is no reason to take advantage of it, King Yong gathered a group of merchants, presumably to open up trade routes, Brother Chang convened us and others to discuss, maybe it is unfounded."

Chang Zhengyang's face was not very good-looking, and said: "Is it true that Chang Mou is worried about the sky and knows it tomorrow, but according to Chang Mou's opinion, although King Yong is young, he must not be taken lightly."

Su Zhe and the others laughed, obviously not taking Chang Zhengyang's words seriously.

After all, as a close relative of the royal family, King Yong has no reason to risk the disapproval of the world to force them and a group of merchants, even if he takes 10,000 steps back, King Yong really did this, how can they have no official backers behind them as big merchants, and at that time, they will spend some silver, and there are officials who like to catch the pain of the vassal king's feet.

At that time, even if the Yongwang is not afraid, it will inevitably be anxious, such things that harm others and are not beneficial to himself, will there be no staff in the palace to advise the Yongwang?

Several big businessmen left one after another, and like the businessmen who were not present, they all had their own concerns, and they were destined to be sleepless tonight.

The next day, the seventeen merchants yawned and went out to the Yongwang Mansion with bloodshot eyes open, and the satin clothes they had worn in the past were completely replaced by coarse cloth clothes.

The Ming Dynasty stipulated that merchants were not allowed to wear silk and satin, and they were not allowed to ride horses in sedan chairs when entering and exiting, but now, this rule has long been in vain.

But today, these merchants are a tacit mess, as if they are afraid that King Yong will misunderstand that they have silver.

And even if the rules are in vain, they are still rules, and King Yong really wants to use this crime to deduct their hats, then one counts as one, and no one can think of running away.

Since you can't resist power, you can only pretend to be poor......

Zhu Houwei used a bowl of millet porridge for breakfast, drank a bowl of soy milk and two steamed buns, only felt refreshed and full of confidence in the upcoming business negotiations.

"Great King, seventeen great merchants have arrived at the main hall."

The vassal king has a fief and a shogunate, and there is naturally a hall for deliberations in the palace, to put it bluntly, it is a miniature court, but the vassal king cannot participate in politics, and this palace is purely natural to take off his pants and fart to find trouble.

The palace maid put on the royal robe for Zhu Houwei, and suddenly a noble young prince appeared.

In fact, Zhu Houwei can also wear regular clothes to meet the merchants, so that he can also shorten the distance between him and the merchants, but Zhu Houwei finally decided to wear the king's robe because he is the king!

Born noble!

Wearing a royal robe is to shorten the sense of distance and make a group of businessmen feel oppressed!

When Zhu Houwei entered the main hall and sat down on the throne, the seventeen merchants hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed in their mouths: "The grass people knock to see the king."

The corners of Xu Zhenqing and Li Mengyang's mouths were straight, and there was news from the capital, the lord on the throne tossed the ministers enough, and now it seems that they are really the same mother, and the prince Yong is not a worry-free lord.

The palace summoned the merchants, naturally it is impossible to hide the two long histories of Xu Zhenqing and Li Mengyang, and now the two of them are also as big as a fight, and the children who were collected by the palace all day yesterday were disturbed, and the school over there has not stopped, and King Yong has summoned the rich businessmen of Huzhou, what does this young master want to do when he falls to the ground?

As a long history, the two of them have the responsibility to admonish King Yong's words and deeds, and they have the right to monitor the wind and grass of the palace......
