Shinong industry and commerce, the last businessman, Chu Zhuang Lou is not qualified to meet the eldest princess.

But Chu Zhuanglou said: "As you said, if the eldest princess is really dedicated to the people, but anything that is beneficial to the victims of the disaster will not be allowed, and she just wants to calm the flood in Xin'an County as soon as possible and avoid the suffering of the people, she will definitely see me." ”

He thought hard for a long time, thinking that the Chu family was the richest man in Zhejiang, and he had huge resources and contacts in his hands, so he decided to give it a try.

"It's kind of interesting." The imperial court wanted to calm down the disaster as soon as possible, in addition to relying on the strength of local families, it also needed the support of local gentry.

Sect Chief Yue felt uneasy in his heart.

"Please come in!" Jiang Fuguang smiled.

Chu Zhuanglou had already made a lot of preparations for disaster relief, but he did not hide it, waiting for the supervision of history to help the imperial court calm the disaster situation and achieve the goal of fame and fortune.

The 2,000 camp tents are the most scarce materials, and they are the 'waystones' sent by Chuzhuang Tower.

……

Chu Zhuang Lou and others outside the county yamen, looking at the county yabang with a negative hand, the font of the pavilion in one hand is elegant and round, and it is bright and square, and the beauty of the weather and the magnificent gesture is reflected between the pen and ink.

Words and sentences express that the disaster in Xin'an County can be prevented and controlled;

Disaster relief is urgent;

The order of the imperial court for disaster relief has been issued, and the disaster relief funds will be issued soon;

call for comprehensive plague prevention and disaster relief;

……

Each of the posts expressed the determination of the imperial court to provide disaster relief and save the people, which was greatly inspiring and played a role in calming the people's hearts.

Chu Zhuanglou thought of visiting Yue's house yesterday and asked the eldest princess, Yue Zongchang's face was full of admiration: "The eldest princess is kind and dedicated to the people, but anything that is beneficial to the disaster is not allowed." ”

It seems that he didn't say anything, but in fact he said everything.

Sect Chief Yue was hinting at him to help the eldest princess calm down the disaster and get enough benefits from the eldest princess, which shows that the Yue family has already received sweetness from the eldest princess.

At this time, Sect Chief Yue hurriedly came out: "The eldest princess summoned you. ”

Chu Zhuanglou's face was calm, and he was not surprised that the eldest princess would meet him, so he unhurriedly dressed and straightened his crown, and went to the county office with Sect Chief Yue to meet the eldest princess.

He is handsome and elegant, he doesn't look like a businessman, but like a scholar, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, about the same age as Yue Ting, dressed in a blue Songjiang cotton cloth, thrifty all over, and the only valuable thing on his body is a Qingtian stone on his waist, which is very rare.

Chu Zhuanglou is also a character.

When he was young, he was talented and liked to read, and Chu's father was overjoyed, and he sent him to the Yuejia Academy at any cost, hoping that he would be able to become an official in the future.

It's a pity that Chu Zhuanglou studied in the Yuejia Society for three years, but he did not grow, and he also got the reputation of 'stubborn', and was returned home by the Yuejia Society.

Everyone else laughed at the Chu family, a merchant, and wanted to become an official, which was simply a fool's dream.

Chuzhuang Lou became the object of ridicule in Hangzhou County.

Three years ago, Chu Zhuanglou somehow, suddenly passed the imperial court assessment, got the name of Maocai, returned to his hometown, Chu's father set up a ten-day flowing water banquet in Hangzhou City, and even the beggars in the city could beg for a bite to eat.

But what is surprising is that after Chu Zhuanglou gained fame, he was killed and couldn't enter Taixue, so he ran back to Hangzhou to do business, Chu's father was almost angry to death, and the father and son almost turned against each other.

But even so, no one in the entire Hangzhou County dared to underestimate him, and everyone had to call him:

Chu Maocai!

Jiang Fuguang was a little surprised: "Sit down and talk!" ”

Chu Zhuanglou got up and saw the girl in the hall, with black hair and phoenix buns, moth eyebrows and light sweeps, light cyan Songjiang cotton clothes, tied with a pine flower skirt, elegant and gentle.

is only dressed in an ordinary way, but she looks like a musk orchid tree, frosty and beautiful.

Jiang Fuguang's voice was gentle: "Chu Maocai donated to help the victims, and on behalf of the imperial court and the people affected by the disaster in Xin'an County, I thanked Chu Maocai for his righteousness." ”

Chu Zhuanglou heard the sincerity in her tone, and couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said: "The eldest princess is serious, the wealth of merchants is taken from the people, only when the court is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment, can there be a steady stream of money to earn." ”

"Chu Maocai is a practical person," Jiang Fuguang smiled deeply, "Since ancient times, there have been Confucian businessmen, paying attention to personal cultivation, honest management, taking morality as the foundation of life, and having family and country feelings. ”

Not to mention that Chu Zhuanglou has a fame, the Chu family is the richest businessman in Zhejiang, and it is also a large taxpayer in the Southern Dynasty, and the files of the Chu family are kept in the household department, and every move is under the control of the imperial court.

When Chu Zhuanglou heard this, he hurriedly said: "I don't deserve the eldest princess's false praise." ”

"I heard Sect Chief Yue say that you want to do a business with Gu," Jiang Fuguang showed an interested expression, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Chu Zhuanglou must be in his heart: "If you want to come to the imperial court for disaster relief, you will arrive in Hangzhou in the near future, and the eldest princess will turn the silver into a food and medicine tent for disaster relief as quickly as possible." ”

"Chu is not talented, the matter of raising disaster relief materials, the eldest princess can hand it over to Chu, and Chu can make a military order to the eldest princess to ensure that the most materials are raised in the shortest time and at the lowest price, and make every effort to help the princess calm down the disaster."

The materials donated by the family can only solve the urgent need, and if you want to calm the disaster situation in Xin'an County, you also need the imperial court to come forward for disaster relief, so that in the shortest possible time, you can mobilize national materials and make every effort to help the victims, which is the most important thing.

How to use this disaster relief fund to properly resettle the people is indeed a problem that Jiang Fuguang is considering.

Chuzhuang Building is prepared.

Minimal time;

Lowest price;

The most supplies!

Jiang Fuguang was really impressed, and she didn't agree: "With such a large batch of disaster relief funds and huge materials, can the Chu family eat it?" ”

"It's not a secret, when the dam burst, the Chu family had already contacted the trade routes of various states and was ready to transfer materials at any time."

"Although Chu is not talented, but in Jiangsu and Zhejiang states, there is still some influence, if Chu takes over the matter of raising food for the imperial court's disaster relief, the local government will open the door of convenience, and the giant businessmen who have mastered the materials will naturally have to cooperate, and Chu will naturally have a way to raise a large number of materials in a short period of time at the lowest price."

"After the matter is completed, the eldest princess is named, and the Chu family further expands the trade routes of various states with the help of the imperial court, and the victims can be properly resettled, which is a win-win situation."

"Chu Mao gave up his momentary profits, planned for the long term, and opened his eyes alone." Chu Zhuanglou's move was not to make money from the imperial court, but to take the opportunity to expand the Chu family's trade routes.

It's right to think about it.

The dignified princess of the country is in Xin'an County, and the entire county is under control, even if the businessman has three heads and six arms, he does not dare to take the opportunity to make money from the court, and it is more in line with the interests of the long-term plan.

The words that were unclear made Chu Zhuanglou's heart slightly apprehensive, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he bowed his head cautiously and made a gesture of listening to his ears.
