Du Rong's face became more and more ugly: "Aren't we trying to figure out a way?"

"It's just that at this time, His Royal Highness has completely taken the initiative, and we don't have any chances."

The merchants' faces were full of helpless wry smiles: "Now I'm afraid we just want to admit defeat, and the prince won't accept it."

Suddenly, someone yelled as if they remembered something, "By the way, it's not all our fault, it's the adults who told us that the king didn't dare to do anything to us."

"Now that this is happening, don't the adults say anything?"

Someone sneered disdainfully, "What does that mean? Those adults, now they all want to be shrunken turtles, how can they run out and touch their heads?"

"Hmph." A merchant sitting at the bottom slammed the table hard.

"If they can't give us an explanation this time, we'll be dead."

"I'm dead, and they don't want to have a good life."

Hearing his words, many people showed sympathy on their faces.

This guy's business was doing pretty well.

It's just that compared with many big businessmen, there is still a slight gap.

Of course, this gap is not big, and with the support of the courtesy squire behind him, the business is also smooth.

This time, His Royal Highness the King made a public tender, and he was directly ruthless.

borrowed a large sum of money to tender for the works of His Royal Highness.

Originally, because of the loan, the project he contracted was not particularly profitable.

However, as long as you get through the most difficult times in the early days, your business will definitely get better and better in the future.

As a result, he was encouraged by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and dismissed the workers with them.

It's fine if their threat succeeds, but now that they are going to fail, this guy will be completely ruined.

Others are just hurting their muscles and bones, but he is directly gone.

No wonder you have to go to extremes.

This is also the reason why these people have discussed and discussed, but they have not been able to come up with a result.

Each of them is different, and it is naturally impossible to generalize.

Some people have a huge investment, and if they have nothing to return here, they will go bankrupt.

Such a person has been completely ruthless and has done everything.

But there are also people, although they will also lose a lot.

However, it was able to persevere.

Such a person hopes to use gentle means as much as possible, so as not to really anger the court, and then it will only be himself who will be unlucky.

Everyone has their own thoughts, and they can discuss the results, then there are ghosts.

Until the time of the lantern, the businessmen led by Du Rong did not discuss the reason.

In the end, they all left in a huff.

Everything they did, naturally, couldn't escape the eyes of Jinyiweidi.

After Zhu Han received the report of Jinyi Weidi, he casually gave this thing to Liu Shenhong.

"Look, that's how they deliberated, and you're still worried about what these merchants can do?"

Liu Shenhong has always been worried that if these businessmen are forced to rush, they will jump over the wall in a hurry and bring irreparable losses to the imperial court.

After all, these businessmen gathered in Yanjing City now are the richest businessmen in the Ming Dynasty.

And Zhu Han offended these businessmen all at once.

If these businessmen are ruthless, it is not a joke.

But Liu Shenhong never thought that these people were simply a mess of loose sand, and they couldn't pinch together.

"You, what else do you learn?" Zhu Han sighed.

Liu Shenhong is actually a smart person.

It's just that the current era and environment have limited him.

"The prince is wise, it's true that I'm thinking too much." Liu Shenhong said with a wry smile.

He though

However, I also know that these businessmen may not be able to become a big climate.

But it didn't even make a little wave, which was a bit too disappointing.

"You're not thinking too much." Zhu Han hated that iron could not become steel, and he thought too little about it.

just clicked on Liu Shenhong for a game, and Zhu Han didn't continue to talk about it.

There are some things that optics are useless, no matter how many truths and skills you learn, if you don't have personal experience, you can't turn it into your own experience, and it won't work.

With this experience, Liu Shenhong, a kid, will definitely grow up.

The six books of the eyes, as well as a few officials at the top of the power, gathered together again.

Li Huairen gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, this level was solved so easily by the King of England."

The Ministry of Rites Shang Shutan sighed: "I think, His Royal Highness probably already knows what we are going to do, this is basically a pocket array, waiting for us to drill into it ourselves. Help"

Li Huairen said disdainfully: "In hindsight, let's not say anything, the question now is, what should we do?"

"The merchants under our command have now been beaten to the point of discarding their armor by the King of England."

"I think many of those merchants have been frightened by His Royal Highness."

"Even if they are desperate to lose money, they don't want to continue to stay in Yanjing City and go against His Royal Highness."

The official snorted dissatisfiedly, "I know that these merchants are unreliable. Usually we give them so much convenience, but at the critical moment they only think about how to run, what a bunch of white-eyed wolves."

The words of the servant of the ministry made everyone who listened to them roll their eyes.

There's an old saying that says well.

A tree without bark will surely die. People are shameless, and the world is invincible.

is worthy of being a person who can be a secretary of the ministry.

With such a thick skin, they are simply ashamed of themselves.

Those businessmen are fighting for their lives, and they are just commanding in the rear.

Moreover, most of the officials present were only in a "cooperative" relationship with those businessmen.

Why do people put together all their things to fulfill them?

Of course, only a few people have these ideas.

For the vast majority of officials in this era, businessmen are no better than toilet paper.

Use them when you need them, and dislike them when they run out.

Moreover, neither officials nor businessmen seem to think that there is anything wrong with doing so.

The secretary of the military department was impatient and interrupted the words of the secretary of the department.

"I said Boss, what's the point of talking about this now?"

"The question now is, what are we going to do in the future? It's with His Royal Highness...... Or ......"

The military department Shangshu paused twice in a row, and he stumbled like a stammer.

However, everyone understood the meaning of the military department.

Is it to be stubborn to the end, or is it now to give in to His Royal Highness and shake hands and make peace?

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the dimly lit room.

This time the matter is too important, and the arrangement is related to their personal life and death.

It even involves the life and death of their entire family.

Therefore, no one dared to speak first.

It's in the midst of this eerie tranquility.

Suddenly, someone burst out laughing.

Laughing is out of breath, and if you are funny, you may laugh to death at any time.

Everyone looked in the direction where the laughter came from.

They wanted to see who could still laugh at such a time.

It doesn't matter if you look at this, many people immediately gritted their teeth with hatred.

At this time, it turned out to be Wang Dong, the Qing of Dali Temple, who laughed at them.

Li Huairen slapped the table and scolded, "Wang Dong, what's so funny about this?"

Wang Dong still laughed

Not only that, but the laughter is getting harder and louder, and the tears are already laughing.

"That's enough!" The official Shangshu was furious.

The military department Shangshu glared at Wang Dong viciously: "Dali Siqing, have you laughed enough?"

Everyone else had angry looks on their faces.

Wang Dong laughed for half an hour.

It wasn't until everyone got a little impatient that they gradually stopped smiling.

took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears over and over again while apologizing to these court officials.

"I'm sorry adults, I can't help it."

As he spoke, he seemed to be unable to help but want to laugh.

The official Shangshu stared at Wang Dong coldly: "Lord Wang seems to have really laughed enough? I don't know if there is anything so like, can you tell me and share it with us?"

Hearing the words of the Ministry of Shangshu, Wang Dong seemed to have the urge to laugh again.

In the end, though, he held back.

Otherwise, Wang Dong would have to be beaten today.

Don't think that literati can't beat people. There are more officials who quarrel and act for political opinions.

Even those noble pavilion elders are no exception.

Wang Dong continued to love tears, and there seemed to be a smile in his voice.

"This official is reckless, please don't take it to heart." Wang Dong hugged his fists around, which was regarded as making amends.

Then, in the angry eyes of everyone, he explained with a smile: "The reason why this official is so out of shape is actually to blame you."

What?

Several officials of the six ministries couldn't help but gouge out their ears.

They heard you right, right?

Wang Dong, a bastard, actually said that it was all their fault?

Do you want to find an imperial doctor to come over and check Wang Dong.

This guy, I'm afraid he really has a serious illness, right?

In the strange eyes of the people around him.

Wang Dong sneered: "This is all burning eyebrows, you are still thinking about whether you can reconcile with His Royal Highness."

"You are. Puff ......" As he spoke, Wang Dong couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

But this time, Wang Dong quickly held back, and then said with a straight face: "Everyone, you don't think that His Royal Highness will let you go so easily, right?"

Of course, the officials of the Sixth Department of Yanjing understood, but they didn't pay too much attention to it

They don't know how many times they've experienced this kind of thing.

Great, Zhishi went home to retire.

And as long as it works well, there may not be no hope of recovery in the future.

Listening to Wang Dong's meaning, it seems to be ......

Wang Dong didn't wait for them to guess, and continued to explain: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are also old people who have been up and down in officialdom for so many years, can you not be so naïve."

"What His Royal Highness is doing this time, I have already said more than once."

"After he arrives in Yanjing, we have only two ways to go in front of His Royal Highness."

Wang Dong slowly stretched out two fingers and said, "First, surrender to His Royal Highness. After that, if the construction of Yenching goes well, His Royal Highness may be able to give us a little benefit."

"Well, let's not think about calling the wind and rain like before."

"At most, it's to give us an idle job, so that we can live half-dead."

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to live like this?"

The officials of all six ministries couldn't help but shake their heads.

Rights are very addictive.

Once you have tasted it, most people will not give up easily.

Not to mention, these people are all at the level of the six Shangshu, so they are naturally unwilling to be replaced like this.

Obviously, no one wants to take this path.

Immediately after that, Wang Dong stretched out a second finger: "Or, let's fight to the end with the King of England, maybe."

There's still a silver lining."

Wang Dong's body exuded a cold chill.

Seeing that everyone didn't know why, Wang Dong explained with a smile: "If it was changed, His Royal Highness might indeed accept our surrender."

"However, we have made a stumbling block for His Royal Highness before, and His Royal Highness has suffered a lot of losses."

"His Royal Highness must have written this account for us."

The eyes of the six books were stunned at the same time.

If they remember correctly, Wang Dong, a bastard, had tried his best to encourage them to go against His Royal Highness before.

Li Huairen looked at Wang Dong angrily: "Lord Wang, didn't you say before that His Royal Highness is a person who talks about rules, as long as we follow his rules, he won't do anything to us?"

"Why do you say now that His Royal Highness won't let us go?"

Wang Dong laughed: "That's right, His Royal Highness, I really won't do anything to you because of this matter."

"But that doesn't mean the King won't be upset."

"He's a prince, and it's really easy to clean up some people."

Speaking of which, if they still don't understand what's going on.

Then they don't want to be officials.

From beginning to end, from the day Wang Dong told them that Zhu Han was a person who talked about rules, this was a bureau.

Lead them into the trap and completely stand on the opposite side of the game of His Royal Highness.

"Wang Dong, how dare you trick me?" Li Huairen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was furious.

Wang Dong smiled slightly?

"What Master Li said is unreasonable, I'm just helping you analyze the pros and cons."

"I don't have anything to do with the latter things, so I'm forcing you adults to do it, right?"

"These are all your own choices, and they have nothing to do with me."

Li Huairen couldn't wait to tear Wang Dong apart directly.

"Thief, dare to quibble, don't think that Ben Shangshu is injured, so he can't do anything to you."

Wang Dong was not angry, but just looked at Li Huairen secretly.

"If Lord Wang wants to do it, then go ahead and do it."

"But I can remind you that every minute and every second of your time is precious right now.

If you delay the time, when His Royal Highness comes to the door, I am afraid that you will not end well.

Threat!

The threat of the red fruit.

Li Huairen's face was flushed, but in the end, he held back and didn't make a move.

Of course, even if he does it, he may not be Wang Dong's opponent.
