With a smile on his face, he sent President Lu of the Chaogang Chamber of Commerce out of King Qi's mansion, and the smile on Zhu Huan's face immediately turned cold.

"Bullshit for the country, why didn't Emperor Taizu stand up when he conquered Mobei before? Why don't you stand up when it's difficult? Why didn't you stand up when the grain road in Pei County was broken? Zhu Huan said coldly: "No one helps, only helps yourself, what a businessman who 'serves the country'." ”

Yan Gang said: "Your Highness, businessmen seek profit, have no king and no father, this is a well-known thing. ”

"Hmph, a bunch of stuff inside and out." Zhu Huan snorted coldly and looked at Yan Gang: "How many people are buying Shangjue today?" ”

Yan Gang hurriedly took out a small bookkeeping book, and said: "There are more than 440 first-class merchants, more than 170 second-class merchants, sixty-seven third-class merchants, nineteen fourth-class merchants, four fifth-class merchants, two Hui Gang Chamber of Commerce, and two Chao Gang Chamber of Commerce. Of these, the grain was about 9 million stones, and the silver was about 24 million taels, which was converted into silver, and the total was 33,250,000 taels. ”

Zhu Huan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "So much? ”

He is a dignified prince, how can he have time to meet these people who come to buy a lord one by one, but he only met the two chamber of commerce leaders who came to buy a fifth-class merchant. As for the others who came to buy the title, they were all received by Yan Gang.

Although Zhu Huan had long expected that there might be a lot of people coming to the door today, he really didn't expect that there would be more than 30 million taels.

According to the exchange rate during the Hongwu period, one tael of silver was converted into almost 2,100 yuan, 33 million taels, that is, nearly 70 billion!

What the hell!

In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, the grain endowment for a whole year was only 26 million stones, that is, about 8 million taels.

This is only the first day of Shangjue, and it has caught up with the four years of the Ming Dynasty......

What's more, this merchant is not a one-shot deal, if you want this title to continue, you have to pay money to Daming every year, which is more than three million taels a year?!

"Your Highness, this is just because the chambers of commerce in Jinling City don't have much cash for a while, so there are many chambers of commerce that haven't bought the title." Yan Gang continued: "In the next week, this number may increase by three times. ”

Thrice?

Zhu Huan pondered for a moment, and said with some melancholy: "If all these chambers of commerce in Jinling City are slaughtered, the income of the Ming Dynasty this year will be worth twenty years' income." ”

Yan Gang was embarrassed: "Your Highness, this is unacceptable." ”

"Of course I know, it's just a joke." Zhu Huan was a little helpless.

If all these big dogs in Jinling City are slaughtered, the economy of the Ming Dynasty will not be able to operate, and it will die directly. Within half a year, the whole country was opposed, and he Zhu Huan was the sinner of the Ming Dynasty.

"The three major chambers of commerce in Jinling City, at present, the people of Hui merchants and Chao merchants are here, what do you mean by the Jin merchants?" Zhu Huan squinted slightly.

"At present, the Liang family in the Jin merchants, whether in terms of prestige or strength, is the top existence in the three major chambers of commerce. And Liang Shu, the ancestor of the Liang family, has a long-term vision, and there is no reason why he can't see the current situation. Yan Gang was also pondering: "It's a pity that Liang Shu's son Liang Xu is far inferior to his father, could it be that Liang Xu is making a hindrance?" ”

"It doesn't make sense, unless he Liang doesn't want to stay in Jinling City." Zhu Huan glanced at the sky, and the sunset was already hanging in the sky: "Before the sun sets, if the Liang family has not come forward, you will go to the Yanwang Mansion and find Zhang Fu and Zhu Gaoxu to bring hundreds of horses to visit the 'Old Man Liang', these two two goods should be happy to do this kind of thing." ”

Zhu Huan has never been a soft-hearted person, contrary to his easy-going appearance, Zhu Huan's heart is as ruthless as a poisonous snake.

The Liang family's trading house in Jinling City has a high prestige, and if Liang Shu is not given a layer of fifth-class merchant skin, then the merchants of Jinling City will inevitably be suspicious of the imperial court and want to follow the Liang family's footsteps.

If the Liang clan really broke his layout, Zhu Huan didn't mind letting the Liang clan have no place in Daming.

Killing a Liang clan is not much pressure on Zhu Huan.

It was a quick end, and it wasn't long before the sky was drowsy.

"Your Highness, the Liang family's people are here."

Zhu Huan, who was practicing calligraphy in the study, couldn't help but smile when he heard Yan Gang's words: "This Liang's face is really big enough, let this king wait for them for so long, you go and prepare, I and the Liang people will have a hot pot." ”

Yan Gang heard Zhu Huan say that he wanted to burn the hot pot, and couldn't help but silently order an incense for the Liang family.

There weren't many people who scalded hot pot with Zhu Huan last time, except for King Yan, there was only Xu Huizu.

The eldest son of Xu Da, the head of the six kings of the Ming Dynasty, was abolished after boiling hot pot with Zhu Huan, and was confined to the Guogong Mansion.

……

A copper pot was set up in the study, and Zhu Huan sat on a chair and calmly added mutton to the soup base in the pot.

After a long time, a white-haired old man in cloth walked in slowly, followed by a girl in cloth clothes.

"Grass people Liang Shu, meet the prince." The old man bowed to Zhu Huan, and his thin and withered body seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind.

"Hmm." Zhu Huan said calmly: "Yan Gang, give a seat." ”

Yan Gang got Zhu Huan's order and moved a yellow rosewood chair to the old man.

The old man saluted Zhu Huan again: "Thank you for the seat." ”

Liang Shu sat down, but the girl in cloth behind him was still standing, but the girl was not annoyed, because she knew very well that the man in front of her who was less than thirty years old was one of the top people in the Ming Dynasty, and she was not qualified to sit.

The girl in cloth didn't have any scruples, she looked at Zhu Huan curiously, wanting to see how this good-looking man was different from others.

"Lu'er, in front of the prince, you must not be rude." Liang Shu taught the girl in cloth a lesson.

Zhu Huan glanced up at the girl in cloth, obviously the peach blossom eyes should be full of amorous eyes, but on this man, the girl in cloth felt as if she was covering the sea of corpses and blood.

Just one glance made the girl in cloth lower her head, not daring to look at him again.

Liang Shu said with a smile: "Lord Wang, this is Liang Lu, the granddaughter of the grass people, who is twenty-two years old this year, but she is not married yet. ”

"Twenty-two years old and not married?" Zhu Huan was a little surprised: "Can't you Liang even come up with this dowry money?" ”

"It's not true, but because this girl is too high-minded and looks down on people." Liang Shu shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that only heroes like Wang Ye can match her in this girl's heart." ”

Zhu Huan took a sip of wine and said lightly: "She is not worthy." ”

His words made the atmosphere extremely solemn all of a sudden.

However, neither Liang Shu nor the girl in cloth named Liang Lu was embarrassed to be despised, as if they agreed with Zhu Huan's words.

"The prince has a straightforward and free personality, and he is really a real hero." Liang Shu quietly blew a rainbow fart.

However, Zhu Huan didn't give him any face, and said bluntly: "This king is also a little tired, if there is nothing else, how did you two come back." ”

His arrogant and domineering appearance almost said the word "roll" directly!
