Chapter 586: What is a real tyrant
"These businessmen are really the same, they seem to be shrewd, but in fact they are just a bunch of fools."
"Poor Dao is just a casual sentence, and they believe everything."
"Those people in the White Lotus Sect are really powerful, they can even find out such secret information."
Chongyunzi sneered disdainfully in his heart, starting from Zhang Fengnian to his door, everything was under his control.
The reason why his apprentice took so long to open the door was not because this little Taoist priest was really so arrogant and lazy.
It's just that such a short distance needs to be delayed for so long.
It's because he's looking for Zhang Fengnian's information.
And the news about Zhang Fengnian, of course, was provided to him by the people of the White Lotus Sect.
Zhang Fengnian's identity is relatively special, he is one of the ten grain merchants specially designated by Zhu Han to transport grain from outside Datong Mansion to Datong Mansion for sale.
With such a close relationship with Zhu Han, it is certainly impossible for the White Lotus Sect not to investigate.
With this information in hand, although it is still impossible to know 500 years before and 500 years later.
But Zhang Fengnian's past experience was completely understood by Chongyunzi.
Knowing this, if he can't fool Zhang Fengnian anymore, then his skills for so many years will be in vain.
But in Zhang Fengnian's view, the situation is completely different.
It was obviously the first time they met, and this Chongyunzi was able to tell him in such detail just by looking at his face.
These two big and small nobles, others may not know what is going on.
But Zhang Fengnian really understands it in his heart.
That big nobleman obviously refers to His Royal Highness King Zhu Han.
It can be said that if there was no King Zhu Han, there would be no Zhang Fengnian today.
The reason why he has been able to make great progress all the way is because of His Royal Highness the King every time.
The first pot of gold was because His Royal Highness forcibly withdrew the announced construction rights after arriving in Yanjing.
contracted all the large and small projects in Yanjing, and he also took the opportunity to get a share of these projects.
Later, King Zhu Han came up with the patent law.
His workers, while building a project contracted by the imperial court, stumbled upon a formula that could improve cement.
In the same words, with their ability, the only option is to hold this formula firmly in their hands and not let anyone know.
Although it can be sold, the price at which it is sold is not up to him.
If someone oppresses people with power, these businessmen who are not particularly good in family background, if they don't want to get nothing in the end, they can only choose to bow their heads.
If the other party is kind-hearted, maybe he can give them a few thousand taels of silver as compensation.
But it is more likely that after the other party took the formula, they were wiped out.
lest this recipe get into someone else's hands.
It was also at this time that King Zhu Han came up with the patent law again.
He also relied on the protection of patent law to sell the formula at a relatively satisfactory price.
Later, Daming Royal Bank opened a branch in Yanjing, and their shopkeeper personally found himself and applied for what loan he had?
You must know that in Yanjing at that time, almost all businessmen were crazy.
Everyone knows that contracting the projects of the imperial court can make a lot of money, but such a business requires a lot of upfront investment.
I don't know how many people are looking for someone to borrow money desperately.
Zhang Fengnian also learned later that the money was lent to him by His Royal Highness the King himself.
It should be in return that when the King of England was assassinated on Qipan Street, he led his workers to save the prince.
Although he was late and barely made any effort, His Royal Highness still remembered him.
Later, he was listed as one of the top ten grain merchants who went to Datong Mansion to sell grain.
It can be said that without His Royal Highness, there would be no current him.
And those two little nobles are, of course, their two partners.
Without the help of the two of them, he would not have been able to turn such a big business on his own.
It can be said that the reason why his chamber of commerce is able to operate normally now is inseparable from the hard work of those two.
Some people may know that he is today with the support of His Royal Highness.
But most people will never understand how much of a role his two companions played in this.
Zhang Fengnian saluted Chongyunzi again: "Please also ask the Taoist to help me." ”
Ma Fu and the others felt that they were numb, but when they heard Zhang Fengnian's words, they were still shocked and couldn't close their mouths.
What the hell is going on?
This is Zhang Fengnian.
Now in the entire Datong Mansion, the hottest person of the year.
For a person like him, what other difficulties can he need the help of Daoist Chongyunzi?
In their opinion, Zhang Fengnian should ask some questions about some of his confusion when doing business, and ask Chongyun to calculate the good luck.
But now it seems that Zhang Fengnian is here to find Chongyunzi to save his life?
I just met, and I handed over such an important matter to Daoist Chongyunzi.
Isn't that a bit too bold?
Chongyunzi stood up and helped Zhang Fengnian, who bowed to him: "The donor doesn't have to be like this. ”
Saying that, a wry smile appeared on his face: "When Poor Dao gets up today, it will be calculated, and there should be a catastrophe today." ”
"Now it seems that the doom of the channel should be on the owner."
Zhang Fengnian immediately became anxious when he heard this: "Please also ask the Taoist to help me, as long as the Taoist is willing to help, the incense money will definitely not be stingy." ”
As if he was afraid that Chongyunzi would not agree, Zhang Fengnian simply offered the price directly: "Ten thousand taels!" ”
Well, this time Ma Fu really didn't have the strength to be shocked.
Even if the price Zhang Fengyan said was almost one-tenth of some of their assets, everyone took it for granted.
After all, if it really involves saving lives, it's not a trivial matter.
Even the most stingy Ma Fu would not care about this 10,000 thousand silver for the sake of his own life.
After all, you can continue to earn money when the silver is gone, but if your life is gone, then there is nothing.
Chongyunzi shook off the dust of the Buddha, and recited the Tao number slightly: "Immeasurable Tianzun, the poor Dao is a person outside the square, and winning money is like a floating cloud for the poor Dao." ”
A good person regards money as dung, 10,000 taels of silver is not enough, this meaning is simply not too obvious.
is clearly hinting at Zhang Fengnian, 10,000 taels of silver, and people still don't look down on it.
Even if they really think that Chongyunzi is a very capable old Taoist priest, can they think that this ten thousand taels is a bit too exaggerated?
"What do you think of 20,000 taels?" Zhang Fengnian didn't blink his eyes, and directly added 10,000 taels of silver.
A few businessmen who took Zhang Feng to see Chongyunzi began to breathe a little heavy.
That's a full 20,000 taels, and there are several of them, and they may not be able to earn so much silver this year.
Although their net worth is relatively rich, the merchants of this era are still very different from later generations.
Because of the business model, although they have a large amount of silver in their hands, the flow of this silver is not very large.
And this is also what they have accumulated over the years, in fact, it is all hard-earned money.
Anyway, let them take out 20,000 taels of silver at once, even if it is used to save their lives, they will feel quite distressed.
But so much silver, spent from Zhang Fengnian's hands, seems to be no different from white paper.
This makes their hearts a little sour, the gap between people is so big.
But what they didn't expect was that even if it was 20,000 taels of silver, that Chongyunzi still didn't seem to be satisfied.
With a long sigh, he said, "It seems that the poor Dao and the donor are destined to be lost." ”
As soon as these words came out, even Ma Fu and the others couldn't help it, and began to curse in their hearts.
Chongyunzi is really insatiable, and 20,000 taels of silver can't satisfy him.
They really want to ask Chongyunzi, have you ever seen 20,000 taels of silver, do you know how much 20,000 taels of silver is?
Dare to be so unscrupulous, the lion opened his mouth.
Although he was dissatisfied, no one risked offending Chongyunzi to remind Zhang Fengnian.
It was Zhang Fengnian's reaction, which also made all of them feel more sour.
"In that case, then 40,000...... It's not just 50,000 taels. ”
This opening is the net worth of many of them for half their lives.
And with so much silver, he just wanted to ask Chongyunzi to do him a favor.
Why do you always feel that silver is no different from stone in Zhang Fengnian's eyes?
Fifty thousand taels of silver, said to take it out?
Not to mention these businessmen, even Chongyunzi's legs and stomach were trembling with excitement.
Although the surface still maintains that fairy wind bones, the appearance of a master in the world.
But in fact, when he heard the figure of 50,000 taels of silver, Chongyunzi was so excited that his heartbeat almost stopped.
"I'm obedient, this Zhang Fengnian is really rich."
"I really want to thank those guys for the White Lotus Sect, if it weren't for the methods they handed over to Dao Ye, I'm afraid Zhao Ye would really not be able to fool so much silver."
This guy has been swindling and cheating all his life, and the biggest business he has done is more than 2,000 taels.
At that time, I already felt that it was a lot of money.
And what made Chongyunzi sigh was that the deception process was a failure in the end.
was even hunted down and killed because of this, and had to temporarily join the White Lotus Sect to seek refuge.
Originally, Datong was in drought, and Chongyunzi wanted to take refuge in other places.
However, due to various reasons, it has not been successful.
After Zhu Han came, Chongyunzi suddenly found that his career had ushered in a small climax.
After all, under such a huge disaster, many people will subconsciously look for a spiritual sustenance.
And at this time, Chongyunzi, a Taoist priest who seems to have mysterious methods, has become the choice of many people.
Not only ordinary people, but also those businessmen who made a lot of money in the drought in Datong.
These guys are rich and flowing, and they are not bad people at all.
Tell them fortunes once, and earn more than they earn from telling fortunes to a hundred people.
After tasting the sweetness, Congyunzi was reluctant to leave.
And just when Chongyunzi was enjoying this kind of day, the White Lotus Sect suddenly conveyed a message to him.
Ask him to make some movement in the city.
For this request, Yunzi was strongly opposed at the beginning.
After all, although he nominally joined the White Lotus Sect, in fact, he was only temporarily borrowing the name of the White Lotus Sect to avoid the pursuit of vendettas.
He didn't think that he would really rebel with these thieves of the White Lotus Sect.
It's just that it's easy to get on a thief ship, but it's not that simple to get off the ship.
The people of the White Lotus Sect just asked him to make a little movement in order to attract the attention of the imperial court.
As for other dangerous things, he didn't need to do it.
Moreover, the White Lotus Sect also gave a condition that he couldn't refuse at all.
As long as this matter is over, he will no longer have anything to do with the White Lotus Sect from now on.
Thinking that even if something went wrong anyway, he didn't directly participate in the rebellion, so he shouldn't be unlucky with the White Lotus Sect.
So Chongyunzi simply agreed.
Moreover, the White Lotus Sect did not let him do it in vain, and also gave him a copy of the so-called magic secret book that was passed down within the White Lotus Sect.
Although there are some deceptive tricks here, in the eyes of ordinary people, these tricks are no different from the real immortal methods.
In this spell cheats, most of Chongyunzi himself will know, after all, he used to be a charlatan who walked the streets and alleys.
But after all, there are still a lot of new tricks here that he doesn't know.
This also makes Chongyunzi like a treasure.
Some of the White Lotus Sect's intelligence sources, coupled with those superb tricks.
And before the drought in Datong, Chongyunzi helped people meet each other to see some of the reputation of feng shui.
In just two days, his name as the head of Chongyunzi Dao has been known to everyone.
Originally, Chongyunzi thought that he could take this opportunity to get a few thousand taels of silver, and that's it.
With this silver, if you leave Datong Mansion in the future, your life will be better.
But he never thought that there would really be a big wronged leader like Zhang Fengnian in this world.
Originally, he just thought that Zhang Fengnian could casually raise a few hundred or thousands of taels, so he agreed.
But Zhang Fengnian, a local tyrant, is simply unexpected.
For a full 50,000 taels of silver, people didn't even have the intention of counteroffering, so they agreed so happily.
Zhang Fengnian agreed happily, but after getting through the initial surprise, the people's hearts were not enough, and the snake swallowed the elephant with annoyance: "Damn, this guy promised so happily, Daoye, I shouldn't be cheap, right?" ”
Looking at this guy's appearance, let alone 100,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid it's 100,000 taels, and this guy will definitely not frown. ”
However, this idea was finally suppressed by himself.
After so many years of being a liar, he has hardly committed anything.
One of the most important reasons is that Chongyunzi knows how to stop in moderation.
Fifty thousand taels of silver is already quite a terrifying fortune, if you continue to increase the price, in case the other party is completely crushed, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
