Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan's expression and said with a smile: "Master Bi, sit down, I can protect you well, and Sun Shoufu can do the same. Come on, I haven't taught me how to play chess for a long time, let's play a game."

Zhu Xu said it calmly and calmly.

Bi Ziyan's complexion disappeared, he sat down with Zhu Xu, and said with a smile: "Go is a small way after all, in this game of chess in the world, no one can beat Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu didn't realize it, holding the chess pieces, staring at the chessboard, affectionately focused and serious.

Bi Ziyan glanced at Zhu Xu, and picked up the chess piece.

When he entered Beijing, other than the Qianqing Palace, the outer court knew nothing about it.This also meant that Sun Chuanting did not understand what Qianqing Palace was going to do.

He, Bi Ziyan, is a person who takes care of the overall situation. Under what circumstances does he need to take care of the overall situation?

Zhu Xu didn't say anything, and Bi Ziyan didn't ask either.

……

A while ago, the cabinet issued a "land ban" restricting land transactions, which caused waves inside and outside Daming, and now it has issued a relatively abrupt decree.

It is not so much a decree as a notice, that is, the cabinet announced the number of acres that the imperial court will distribute before the summer harvest, as well as the relevant details of the purchase.

If the number of sub-fields is limited, even the supporting purchases are naturally limited. This is nothing less than a shock to those big businessmen who are hoarding land and colluding with government and businessmen in an attempt to make a fortune!

They all overlooked a problem, that is, land distribution is not accomplished overnight, so the required fertilizers, cattle, pesticides, etc. are also limited.

But they swarmed up and produced too much fertilizer, plows, cattle, pesticides, etc., a hundred times more than the court needed!

As soon as this decree came out, it seemed like the entire Ming Dynasty exploded.

Shenlong Mansion.

He Yunshan met three big businessmen, who were also his partners for many years since Huitong Trading Company.

One of them is a tea merchant, who has contracted twelve tea mountains of the Royal Commercial Group, and each turned in a profit of 10 taels. Naturally, there are many other cooperators. This person has strong strength, good management, and rarely loses money. .

His name is Hu Zhengzhou, he sat across from He Yunshan, and said with a wry smile: "Lao He, you have to help me this time anyway, the backlog of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in my hands is worth more than 30 silver dollars, if you don't get rid of them as soon as possible, they will expire. I'm going to lose everything in my hands!"

The other, fat headed and big-eared, is a salt merchant. He is the general agent of salt merchants in Yunnan, Guangdong, and Guangxi provinces. The annual profit turned over is 30 silver dollars. He also holds a huge distribution network in his hands. The business is complicated. There are many grains, oils and cloths, named Han Faqi.

Han Faqi looked at He Yunshan, and said, "Old He, the land I bought is not all wasteland. I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you to let me pay 30 yuan to repay the bank loan. The daily interest I really can't take it anymore..."

The last one is a ship merchant. He owns more than 40 ships, travels to and from Japan, Ryukyu, Luzon and other places. I don’t know how many goods are transported back and forth. The annual profit is unimaginable. He is one of the most important fleets of Shenlong Mansion. One, his name is Zhu Quangui.

Zhu Quangui looked at He Yunshan, gloomy, and said: "Old He, I admit that I am in a daze, and I shouldn't trust those officials, but my thin arms can't hold back my thighs. You have a noble concubine as a backer, but we don't. Just think of a way to help me overcome this hurdle, as long as I pass, I, Zhu Quangui, will be your cow and horse..."

The purpose of these people is very simple. The cabinet procurement is carried out by the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Finance entrusts this matter to the Royal Commercial Group. These three people are here to be the first to fight for the priority of the cabinet to purchase qualifications!

He Yunshan looked at the three of them, sighed immobile, and said, "Why don't you understand? The cabinet doesn't purchase a lot of these. Do you really think that you will be allowed to bid?"

All three were shrewd businessmen, and they woke up suddenly.

Hu Zhengzhou's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "You mean, it's already been decided by default?"

Chapter 1513 The big merchants vomit blood

Zhu Quangui and Han Faqi stared at He Yunshan in panic, as if they were afraid that he would lie, so they didn't dare to blink.

This kind of thing is too common, or the default is normal, and everyone knows that this kind of bidding is just a formality.

But they ignored it before, forgot it, and were stunned by the big cake that day, so they didn't think deeply about the details.

He Yunshan nodded expressionlessly, and gave them a critical blow.

The three of them suddenly became dark and almost fainted.

They invested more than hundreds of thousands of dollars in labor, materials, various deposits and loans every day, and exhausted their working capital. If the money cannot be returned, their current business cannot continue and they will go bankrupt!

How can they accept that decades of accumulation go to waste.

Hu Zhengzhou suppressed his panic, grabbed He Yunshan's arm, and said loudly: "Lao He, this time, you will help me no matter what, I can't go bankrupt!"

Han Faqi even knelt down and said anxiously: "Brother He, you must have a way, help me, help me, I can't have nothing..."

Zhu Quangui was already slumped on the ground, and he didn't even have the strength to get up. His eyes were flustered, he looked at He Yunshan, who seemed far away, and said out of breath: "Brother He, no, Brother He, you are the director of Shenlong Mansion, and you hold great power. You have a means to help us, you must have a way to help us, the lives of the three of us are in your hands..."

He Yunshan looked at the behavior of the three of them, shook his head, and said: "If I knew this, why did the imperial court take advantage of it so easily? Now that the imperial court is vigorously fighting corruption, most of your backers can't be kept, so don't even think about it." Keep your business in mind, find a way to save your life."

He Yunshan's words were another blow, which made them dizzy and bewildered.

Hu Zhengzhou's fortune in these years basically followed Huitong Trading Co., Ltd., and now the Royal Commercial Group. Now he has nowhere to go, and he regards He Yunshan, a person with no official position, as a life-saving straw. He is about to drown, so he can't do anything else.

"Brother He, please show us a way out!"

"That's right, brother He, you have the imperial concubine as your backer, so there must be a way, no matter how much money, as long as you talk, I'll send it to you, just please don't let me go to jail!"

"Brother He, please, our lives are in your hands, you have to save us no matter what..."

The three panicked and pinned all their hopes on He Yunshan.

He Yunshan looked at the three of them with a still expression on his face, pretending to think for a while, and said, "I can't help you with matters in the officialdom, unless someone is really able to reach the sky. However, I will find a way to take over your business, and I can use it in my hands." I only have hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, so I can’t accept all of yours, I’ll take over some of them, and you can find a way to sell some of them, and you should be able to tide over the current difficulties, and that’s all I can help you with.”

The three of them are still thinking about making money. Only when they can make a move, thank God. After getting rid of this matter, can they have the energy to dredge their relationship and not be affected by the court's anti-corruption.

Soon, He Yunshan sent someone to approach them. After some wrestling, He Yunshan bought all the fertilizers, pesticides, farming tools, barren land, etc. in their hands at half of their cost price, but only received less than [-]% , others, need them to sell in the market.

They are not the only ones selling them in the market, how much money do ordinary people have to buy chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and cattle?

The price is so low that I can't bear to look directly at it!

Without the imperial court's acquisition, Shenlong Mansion's acceptance of [-]% of the cost price is already a great gift from heaven. If they are allowed to sell it by themselves, [-]% of it will fall into their hands, and the loss will be lost!

Like a tornado, it swept across the entire Ming Dynasty. I don't know how many big businessmen vomited blood, and their vitality was seriously injured.

Shenlong Mansion, Mansion Yamen.

Li Youtang's old aide looked at Li Youtang and said with admiration: "My lord, the chief assistant's move is really beautiful. It not only taught those rebellious businessmen a lesson, but also did not let them collapse, affect the people, and save the court a lot. One stroke, it’s really powerful!”

Li Youtang was also emotional, closed the document in his hand, and said: "This is probably a thorough consideration in the early stage. It won't be long before there will be a big move."

The old aide's expression suddenly became excited, and said: "My lord, this is an opportunity!"

Li Youtang looked at him with a questioning look in his eyes.

The old staff thought about it, and said: "First, if we rescued these big businessmen this time, they will become vassals of my Shenlongfu. Those who return to the capital, the more chaos this time, the more beneficial it is to the adults, so do more things to let the adults in the capital know the abilities and achievements of the adults. Third, the adults want to make reforms to the Shenlong Mansion. It is the emperor, the court wants The kind of reform you saw! As long as you keep doing things and don’t make mistakes in this process, I can guarantee that within three years, there will be a servant, and after five years, you may become a minister and become a general constitution!"

Li Youtang looked at him, his eyes flickered slightly, his expression was calm, without any fluctuation, and he said: "However, what we are going to do now is not just these. You make a note, first, pass the purchased chemical fertilizers and pesticides through various methods as soon as possible. Send out channels, the cost price is enough, the focus is on the three mansions of Suyanghang and Hangzhou. Second, the Shenlong Mansion immediately launched an anti-corruption operation, and no corrupt official will be spared! Third, trade with Xiyi and other countries should be stepped up, and it will go ashore this year If we want to increase our food supply, we can land in the nearest Guangzhou. Fourth, hold a general meeting of shareholders to sort out the internal structure and context of the Royal Commercial Group, and formulate a development plan for the next three years. Fifth, step up efforts in Tianjin, Guangzhou, Gansu, and Zhangjiakou The construction of the four counties must be fully put into use as soon as possible. Sixth, the semi-annual account audit should be carried out in advance, and special personnel should be organized to conduct a comprehensive inventory of all the accounts of the Shenlong Mansion..."

The old staff member was remembering, his expression changed slightly, and he paused to remind: "My lord, do you really want to check all the accounts over the years?"
