Chapter Eighty-Two: Grace and Might
The gentry and wealthy merchants set their sights on the prefect of Suzhou.
The prefect Zhang Luo was stubborn, closed his eyes, and didn't look at it.
Like a stubborn donkey, he refused to switch to King Wu.
What's more, Zhang Luo thinks that he is a civil official, and the bigwigs above will definitely protect themselves.
As long as you hold on here, wait for another month at most, and King Hui will become the grandson of the emperor, and the overall situation will be decided!
I am a hero from the dragon!
Easily promoted to the sixth department as the chief officer!
Zhu Yunxi knew that if the prefect of the dog didn't open his mouth, he was afraid that this fundraising project would not be opened.
"Whoever is lonely down to the name, stand up!"
"Gu Changxi!"
A gentry stood up blankly.
"This fang is suspected of evading forced labor, take it!"
The armor began to take men.
The prefect of Suzhou's face turned white.
This gentry surnamed Gu is a big family in Suzhou, and he is also his in-laws!
Zhu Yunxi read the names of four or five people in a row.
All were taken.
Zhu Yunxi paced with his hands in his hands, with a solemn expression: "The affairs of the Shen family and the Gu family must be handled strictly!" The squire landlords of the entire Suzhou Mansion have to be arrested and sentenced heavily, as long as they are suspected of "iron-footed trickery"! ”
The faces of the wealthy businessmen, who were already miserable, were even more gray and yellow at this time.
In fact, this crime is not big, at most it will be locked up for a few years, and not much property will be confiscated.
Unless they are given a rebellious hat.
This is also the reason why the rich businessmen are holding on.
Zhu Yunxi changed his words and said: "Of course, we also have a lot of righteous businessmen in Suzhou Prefecture, who operate in accordance with the law and play an important role in the market. ”
"For example, the Ye family, who is in the tea business, is very good!"
A middle-aged man stood out in the crowd and bent down at Zhu Yunxi and smiled: "Grass people thank His Royal Highness King Wu for appreciation!" ”
Zhu Yunxi pressed his hands and motioned for him to sit down: "This time the imperial court dug a canal, I heard that the Ye family donated 100,000 taels of silver, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”
"It's true!"
Ye Yuanwai expressed his position on the spot, and took the initiative to step forward and pledged 100,000 taels of silver in the book.
The Ye family is in the tea business, and if this canal is built, it will also help his family's tea business.
What's more, it's a political investment!
This wave of operations of the Ye family made the rich businessmen so angry that their faces turned white!
The Ye family actually sided with King Wu!
Everyone was alarmed.
Some people are resentful, some people are panicked.
Doing big things is most afraid of internal contradictions.
King Wu's rectification, there will definitely be people who can't bear to surrender to the enemy.
It's just that I didn't expect the Ye family to jump so fast!
"Good!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at Ye Yuanwai approvingly, and said solemnly: "Put the words here first, in the future, when the imperial court opens the sea, your Ye family will be the first family in Jiangnan that can go to the sea to operate sea trade!" ”
Open the sea?
The imperial court wants to open the sea?
The wealthy businessmen were as if they had flipped a switch and became active together.
For the wealthy people in Jiangnan, sea trade is the biggest business!
Back then, Shen Wansan used sea trade to make the Shen family sit on huge wealth.
Later, Emperor Zhu imposed a sea ban and banned private foreign trade, which was equivalent to the wealth of the rich people in Jiangnan, which made the rich businessmen in Jiangnan very indignant and angry!
Some people even scolded behind their backs, how can the big tomorrow be handed over to a fool egg peasant to rule?
"Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Wu, is it true that the imperial court opens the sea?"
A wealthy merchant in the cloth business asked cautiously.
At this time, Songjiang Prefecture was the world's largest textile base, and textile technology was developed.
The high-quality cloth produced here is very popular with the Japanese, and the clothes made are called "gofu".
Later, when the Japanese saw that China was lagging behind Japan, they hurriedly changed their name to "Kimono"!
If the opening of the sea is true, let alone donating 100,000 taels, it is 2 million taels, and everyone present can make it up for you within half a day!
This is the voice of all wealthy businessmen.
Facing the burning eyes of the businessmen, Zhu Yunxi suddenly realized that he had made the problem too complicated!
"The imperial court will open the sea, as for the time, Lone can't guarantee it."
Zhu Yunxi said: "I promise you that I will do my best to persuade Your Majesty to open up the sea for trade, so that your merchant ships can crisscross the ocean!" ”
"That day will not be far away!"
"That's right......" the cloth merchant was a little disappointed.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi glanced at Li Zhigang.
Li Zhigang understood and said loudly: "Maybe King Wu's guarantee is nothing, but what if it is the emperor's grandson?" ”
A sentence woke everyone up.
Thinking that if King Wu becomes the emperor's grandson, he will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and it is not a matter of words to open the sea?
A wealthy businessman immediately said: "His Royal Highness King Wu is worried about the country and the people, and he can be called an example for my generation, but no matter how big the water is, it can't spread the mountain of King Wu, and my Li family has pledged 200,000 taels!" ”
Someone starts, and things are easy to do.
"My Tang family is willing to relieve the worries of the court and pledge 150,000 taels!"
"It's the same with my Hu family!"
Wealthy businessmen rushed to sign the book.
Zhu Yunxi gave this grace and power together, and beat a stick to give a date, and the effect was excellent!
Suzhou prefect Zhang Luo was dumbfounded.
He couldn't control the scene in front of him.
Rao is his crazy eyes, but the merchants turn a blind eye.
Zhang Luo had to turn his back and leave angrily.
As soon as he left, the merchants couldn't hold it anymore and rushed forward one after another.
What kind of donation is this?
It's just in a hurry to send money!
After a lap, I easily raised two million taels of silver!
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh: "Talk to a rich man, talk about a fart relationship!" Just talk about business! ”
As long as it makes them profitable, things will be outrageously simple!
Why did the civil government group make the Jiangnan consortium die?
Isn't it just a good thing to give them?
Civil servants represent their interests and can work for their benefit.
So they are desperately supporting.
Now, this relationship has to be changed!
Businessmen seek profits, and what civil officials can give you, I can do the same with King Wu, only a little more!
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "It's rare for you to get together today, and you are alone in the city to set up wine, and I am shocked for you!" ”
Everyone understood and nodded their heads.
Everyone sat on the ground and froze for a long time, and they were intimidated the whole time.
Now that I have donated the silver and become my own person, I have to live well to appease him!
Zhu Yunxi gave up a cold face and said to everyone: "Recently, some illegal tooth shops have disrupted the market, causing all kinds of things to boil. ”
His tone was relieved and he said, "The role of the tooth shop is still very large, and it should be re-emphasized." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The crowd chimed in.
The dental business is the most important business of many families, and if it is kept closed, the loss is self-evident.
"However, the management will be stricter in the future to avoid illegal acts such as disrupting the market!"
Zhu Yunxi expressed his position and reached a settlement with the wealthy businessmen.
"It has to be strict!"
The businessmen echoed again, all smiling.
Zhu Yunxi smiled unpretentiously, the happiness of those in power is so simple.
In fact, after Lao Zhu cracked down on the dental industry, in the last two years of his reign, he paid attention to the dental industry again.
After the gentry and wealthy businessmen returned home from Chengtian Temple, the wind direction of the entire Suzhou Mansion changed greatly!
First, each family went to the palace of King Wu to transport silver.
Then the whole whole process of the big and small tooth stores, re-listed and opened, and took the initiative to promote the standardized market.
The landlords and wealthy businessmen who were arrested for the iron-footed trickery case were also released one after another after paying a certain fine.
The only big variable is Zhang Luo, the prefect of Suzhou.
By the will of the imperial court, he was fined for one year and transferred to Shanxi.
It's just because of his son's marriage that he did a lot of work.
After finishing Suzhou Mansion, Zhu Yunxi set off for Zhejiang.
Engage in another wave and stabilize performance!
