The next day, the morning dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang waited until the courtiers finished saluting.

So he got straight to the point and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, what did the prince think about the matter discussed with you?"

As soon as this statement came out.

There was an uproar in the court.

Because of the matter mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang, it was naturally the matter of the previous cooperation between the prince and the ministers to run the white sugar factory.

They originally thought that the prince was saying that, but how do you know...

But looking through the history books, how can there be an emperor who doesn't ask about other things in the court, but chases everyone to talk about business?

Even though the crown prince had greeted many courtiers, they had some preparations in their hearts.

However, in the hearts of many courtiers, they still have the idea that this matter is suspected of competing with the people.

Moreover, there are many people who think that it is insulting to discuss the affairs of the merchant in the court.

It can be said that the face of the court is thrown under the feet of others to be trampled on.

However, these thoughts are only going back in everyone's minds.

No one dares to hold up the banner of morality to criticize His Majesty.

Then he went to the edict and waited to be punished.

And so.

After a period of commotion, the court fell into an eerie silence.

Although these courtiers are ostensibly worried about the country and the people, they are actually greedy and corrupt people.

But they and the ministers of the DPRK and China have a common identity.

That is the Confucian disciple.

Out of the idea of hurting things, some people subconsciously resisted Zhu Yuanzhang.

Other courtiers were worried about Zhu Yuanzhang's so-called cooperation with the white sugar factory.

It's just a bait that they want to catch for evidence of their greed.

There are many courtiers with a clear conscience left, although some people are moved by Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal.

But because there is no one to take the lead, I am worried that I will be the first bird and be targeted.

He could only fall into silence with the others.

At this moment, Zhu Biao suddenly came out of the queue and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Father, my son is willing to pay 50,000 taels to invest in the white sugar factory, I don't know how many shares I can buy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed lightly.

Wait until the ministers have all paid attention to him.

Then he said out loud the value of the shares that he had negotiated with the prince yesterday:

"The Royal White Sugar Factory was only built three in the early stage."

"They are in Yingtianfu, Quanzhou and Panyu, of which Quanzhou is the main factory and the largest scale."

"Two hundred shares were issued in the early stage, with a total of 10,000 taels of silver per share, and the branch is 5,000 taels of silver per share, I don't know if you want to buy the shares of the main factory in Quanzhou or the branch?"

The crown prince Zhu Biao is honest,

According to the lines that were done in advance, he said:

"Erchen is willing to buy 30,000 taels of shares in the main factory, and the remaining 20,000 taels will be invested in other branches."

"As my son, he really knows how to run a business, and these investments will inevitably double in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang praised the prince Zhu Biao against his will.

Greeted the eunuch who was waiting beside him and said:

"Take the contract I made yesterday to the prince."

The courtiers who didn't know the inside story of the court listened to the emperor and the prince sing and harmonize.

They all stood on the spot with blank eyes, as if they were suffering from dementia.

The crown prince and the emperor did business.

This is truly a strange thing in the world.

If this thing were to be spread, wouldn't it make the whole world laugh at it?

Some people also think that the whole world belongs to your Zhu family.

Why is the prince still pretending to be a fake and talking to His Majesty about share trading.

Bao Buqi really wants to use this strategy to fish out the corrupt officials in the court.

It's just that.

They felt that the scheme was too crudely designed.

A white granulated sugar that I don't know if it's good or not.

The shares of its factory are as high as 12,000 shares.

And.

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning, there is a limit to the number of purchases for this thing.

How can any fool fall into such a stupid trap.

However.

I don't know if it's His Majesty or the Crown Prince, so I arranged a trust in the court in advance.

Or is he himself a stunned young man who can't understand the situation.

When the ministers were clamoring and shouting.

A young green-robed official suddenly stood up and asked Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Your Majesty, can you give the minister a contract?"

"Yes."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was about to be unable to act, saw that some courtiers took the initiative to take the initiative.

Hurry up and get the eunuch and give the young official a contract.

There are not only detailed rules for dividends, but also management plans for the factory, as well as various supervision measures.

It's basically all in accordance with what Lin Che proposed.

Some more clauses have been added to adapt to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.

The green-robed official was a little apprehensive.

But after he saw such a professional contract.

Suddenly overjoyed and asked:

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver to invest in the White Sugar General Factory."

The courtiers, who had different thoughts, exploded directly when they heard this.

"Zhao Ming, you are too arrogant, and your contribution is higher than that of the prince, and you have no king and no father."

"Your Majesty, please ask Yu Shitai to investigate this person thoroughly, and he will definitely be able to find evidence of his corruption."

"Your Majesty, you want to build a white sugar factory, although you can let the eunuch who manages the royal divine doctor help you do it, why use this as bait to attract the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty to attack each other."

Because Zhao Ming was too excited, he didn't notice for a while that his contribution was higher than that of the prince.

Now.

Faced with overwhelming scolding.

He suddenly turned pale and knelt down on the main hall, wanting to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for his guilt.

"Shut up."

Zhu Yuanzhang waited until Zhao Ming spoke, but he drank first to stop some courtiers who seemed to be angry.

He said coldly:

"The matter of investing in the white sugar factory, the amount of money paid is all voluntary."

"I didn't say that I was guilty of giving more money than the prince."

"When you dare to talk nonsense in front of me, what is your intention?"

There are a few who plan to criticize Zhao Ming and take the opportunity to take the throne.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say that they tampered with the king's words, he fell to his knees in fright.

Someone begged for mercy:

"Your Majesty, the minister has no such rebellious thoughts, the minister just... I just think that Zhao Ming, a fifth-grade official, can come up with 100,000 taels of silver, which must be his embezzlement. ”

It seems that but a burst of heart pulls them into prison.

Yushi, who begged for mercy, desperately tried his best to find a reason for his words to attack Zhao Ming.

In the end, it was firmly believed that the money that this person wanted to invest in was all embezzled.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Zhao Ming was originally the son of a giant merchant, but his father had meritorious service when I established the dynasty, and I allowed him to restore his Ming nationality."

"So his family has money, and he doesn't have anything to be curious about."

"But he was an official in the same dynasty, but he didn't know his identity. I really don't know what kind of official you do. ”

Although Zhu Yuanzhang hated the matter of forming a party, he also did not like the courtiers to get too close.

But at least he was an official of the same dynasty, and he didn't even know the basic information of the other party.

can only be attributed to this, this person is a mediocre official who lives a foolish life.

Sensing the disgust in Zhu Yuanzhang's tone.

Yushi, who begged for mercy, knew that he was hopeless in his career.

actually ran the jar and broke it, planning to use the emperor's business to make a name for himself.
