Chapter 693 said that it was going to set up a new department
"How?"
The Three Princes' Mansion.
Seeing Han Wenqing coming in, Zhu Tai asked anxiously.
The former replied: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has decreed that Lin Qingfeng will be fully responsible for all affairs in Xincheng. ”
"Good!"
Hearing this, Zhu Tai did not feel as annoyed as he imagined, but was very excited.
Because Ezhou was made by him, he knew how big the basket was, and he knew how difficult it was to complete the new city.
In his opinion, it was simply impossible, and once Lin Bai failed, then his failure would be taken for granted.
After all, even the founder of Xincheng has failed, so what's so strange about his failure.
"Lin Qingfeng, this bastard, this prince will see how he dies this time."
Zhu Tai gritted his teeth.
Han Wenqing sighed secretly, he has always wanted to take revenge, but now that he has landed in this field, perhaps, it is time to find another way.
Revenge may never be possible.
Zhu Tai obviously didn't think so, and continued to ask, "What actions can Lin Qingfeng make after he takes over?" ”
Han Wenqing said: "He summoned a group of merchants and other subscribers. ”
"How?"
Zhu Tai asked, "Is he begging these people to believe in him and give him time?" ”
"This bastard has a lot of prestige among the merchants, if he speaks, those businessmen will probably really listen to him, but those royal relatives will definitely not agree, these fools are just moths of the royal family, the fart itself is not, they can only live on the fortune of the court, they don't have much money, they will definitely ask Lin Qingfeng for money."
"No, if my father speaks, these people are afraid that they don't dare to ask for money, could it be that these people who ask for accounts have been suppressed by Lin Qingfeng?"
"Damn!"
Zhu Tai talked to himself, his teeth chattering.
Soon comforted himself: "It doesn't matter, these are just the simplest, those Diao people in Ezhou will definitely ask him for money, and there is a new city to build, which also requires a huge amount of money." ”
"It's impossible for Lin Qingfeng to get so much money, and the household department will not agree to those three melons and two dates, even if the Internal Affairs Office helps, it will be in vain."
"That's right! There was no way for him. ”
This guy looks confident.
In fact, it is indeed as he said, a new city, and in order to surpass other new cities, the scale of Ezhou is beyond imagination, the household department is originally an empty shell, and the internal affairs government is richer.
But that's also relatively speaking, compared to such a huge new city, it is obviously a drop in the bucket.
Looking at his confident appearance, Han Wenqing didn't know what to say for a while, and his lips opened.
"What the hell is going on?"
Zhu Tai couldn't help it.
Han Wenqing had no choice but to say: "Back to His Highness, Lin Qingfeng did not ask everyone to give him time, but informed all subscribers that the previous guaranteed contract can be repurchased at any time, even if it is not a guaranteed contract, it can also be repurchased at half price." ”
What?
Zhu Tai's eyes widened, full of incredulity, "This is impossible, where did the imperial court get so much money?" ”
Han Wenqing said: "It's not the imperial court, the Lin family pays for it themselves." ”
This!
Zhu Tai was like a ghost, "Where did the Lin family get so much money?" Not right......"
The Lin family's business is huge, so they really have so much money, and the first subscription of 10 million taels is for themselves and the second child, and the other ones are not too much.
"Not bad!"
Han Wenqing said, "And there are not many people who really buy back, and almost none of the businessmen moved, they all expressed their belief in Lin Qingfeng and waited for his follow-up actions." ”
"Only some royal clan relatives, as well as noble disciples who have a good relationship with His Royal Highness's second prince, have repurchased, and the total price should not be much."
Zhu Tai's teeth itched, "This bastard, this is a good means to retreat, and he deliberately behaves very confidently, making everyone mistakenly think that he is confident." ”
"This prince doesn't believe it, how can he come back to life in such a mess, how can he raise money?"
"That's right! What about the five million taels of this prince? This prince also has a contract, so he will buy it back immediately and get the money back. ”
At this time, he was still thinking about his money.
The corners of Han Wenqing's eyes couldn't help twitching, but he still said: "I'm afraid not, the contract between His Royal Highness and the second prince, Your Majesty has already handed it over to Lin Qingfeng, saying that all the losses of Xincheng will be deducted from it." ”
"However, Your Majesty requires Lin Qingfeng to settle the debts of His Royal Highness and the Second Prince first."
Damn it!
Zhu Tai's teeth were about to be crushed, he had invested more than five million taels before and after, and the borrowed part was worth one million taels, although the debt was solved for himself, but the five million taels were completely gone.
The real blood is lost.
His heart is dripping blood, but he can't do anything in the face of such a result, "bastard bastard ......"
Han Wenqing couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, in fact, His Majesty's request was undoubtedly a help to the second and third princes, otherwise, not to mention the loss of five million taels, the debt of one million taels still exists.
Although he has lost all his money now, he is debt-free and light.
It's a pity that Zhu Tai obviously doesn't think so, and at this moment his eyes are red with hatred, as if he wants to kill someone.
"Lin Qingfeng, this bastard, when this prince goes out, he must not die well."
"Nope! He can't wait for the prince to go out, and the prince will see how he ends up and how he raises money. ”
"That's right! How did he raise money? ”
The only solution to the current predicament is silver, without silver, everything else is in vain, and the new city will not be built by itself.
So he was extremely curious.
However, Han Wenqing shook his head, "I didn't hear that he was going to raise money, I only heard that he was going to transfer a lot of people from the southwest, and he also summoned the last two idle fortunes, and in addition, he also found a lot of account offices." ”
"It said that a new department would be established, called the Ministry of Commerce, which would be independent of the six ministries and parallel to the six ministries, and it was also said that the status of merchants would be raised."
What?
Hearing this, Zhu Tai's face changed instantly, and he set up a commercial department? Raise the status of a businessman?
"Merchants are pariahs, how can those civil and military officers in the DPRK agree?"
In this era, merchants were the last of the four people, and although they were rich, their social status was extremely low, and the officials of the DPRK and China had great prejudices against them.
In the case of insufficient food production, in fact, this is quite normal.
Han Wenqing said: "There are some ministers who oppose it, but Your Majesty said that whoever can solve the problem of Ezhou New City will listen to whomever it is, and if you oppose it, just take Ezhou New City over." ”
Zhu Tai's face froze, as soon as these words came out, how could anyone dare to object.
It's easy to shout against it, but how is it possible to solve the problem in Ezhou.
It's just that Lin Qingfeng wants to establish the Ministry of Commerce, and he also wants to improve the status of businessmen, if he really makes it, won't all businessmen in the world obey him?
In this way, is the funding of Ezhou New City solved?
No! That's impossible!
Zhu Tai is obviously difficult to accept, although there are too many businessmen who have hollowed out, there are still a lot of them, and it is naturally difficult to find them one by one like him before.
But if, like Lin Qingfeng, the status of merchants is improved, and then merchants from all over the dynasty will flock in, wouldn't it be ......
"Nope! It can't be so simple, this prince doesn't believe it. ”
……
"Five more votes!"
