Chapter 1510 Big businessmen at a loss
'I'm too kind.' Sun Chuanting said in his heart and said, "Yes, I've recorded it."
Zhu Xu woke up a lot and said, "When the queen and the imperial concubine have finished her confinement, I will leave the capital and take care of you in the capital."
This was a planned plan. Sun Chuanting raised his hand and bowed, saying, "I obey the order."
Zhu Xu turned his head to look at him, paused and said, "If you have time to go to see Mr. Bi Ge. He has experience in stabilizing the overall situation and will be beneficial to your governance."
Sun Chuanting understood that Zhu Xu knew that he was under great pressure and found a way to relieve him.
Sun Chuanting looked as usual and said, "Yes, I will obey the order."
Zhu Xu looked at him and sighed in his heart. The chief minister was becoming more and more decisive in his actions, but in some aspects it was not humane, and more and more people offended. Not to mention in the cabinet, the adults of the fifth ministries were wary of him, which seemed far from being close to him. Even the officials called the "Sun clan" were not very close to him, and they did not feel "party friends". Sun Chuanting himself was also deliberately avoiding the word "fraud".
In other words, Sun Chuanting was almost an isolated minister!
For a prime minister, this may not be a good thing, especially if you retire in the future, and counterattack is bound to be unimaginable. It is impossible to retire as safely as Bi Ziyan, and enjoy his old age!
Zhu Xu didn't know if Sun Chuanting could understand what he meant, and suddenly said after a moment: "By the way, your third daughter is seventeen this year?"
Sun Chuanting was stunned. I wonder why Zhu Xu suddenly mentioned his third daughter, but said, "Yes, it's just turned 17 this year."
Sun Chuanting said, his eyes flashing, but he quickly denied it again. His Majesty the Emperor in front of him was not a lustful person, and even if he wanted to win him over, there was no need to marry his daughter.
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "The youngest son of Shangshu Fang's family is eighteen this year. I have seen him. He is handsome and has a bad style. He has helped me a lot a while ago. I am thinking about making a marriage for him. I think of the third lady of the Chief Auxiliary's family."
Sun Chuanting followed Zhu Xu for many years and knew that Zhu Xu never acted without any target, and every move must have its own intention. What's more, the emperor was idle and worried about the marriage between ministers and children?
Sun Chuanting vaguely understood the meaning and raised his hand and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, my daughter is already married, I am afraid she will let down Your Majesty's wishes."
Zhu Xu was a little surprised and looked at Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting stood up with expressionless expression.
Zhu Xu shook his head secretly, waved his hand, and said, "That's also the young master of Shangshu Fang's family, so go there if you have nothing to do."
"I'm leaving." Sun Chuanting said, then slowly walked out of the pavilion and left the back garden.
After Sun Chuanting left, an old man with white hair and strong face walked out of the garden not far away.
"Sun Baigu is walking down the road." The old man sighed and looked complicated as he looked at the place where Sun Chuanting disappeared.
Bi Ziyan, the former "prime minister" who has retired for many years and has returned to his hometown to take care of his old age.
Sun Chuanting would not be unable to understand the emperor's meaning, which was a guarantee for Sun Chuanting, but Sun Chuanting refused and wanted to keep the lonely minister to the end.
The reason why Bi Ziyan's complex expression was because he did not have the courage of Sun Chuanting. He was the "prime minister" who took the overall situation into consideration, but he was unable to open up the situation. He had more than enough success and lacked development.
This is the reason why he can only retire and let Sun Chuanting rise to power.
Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan's expression and smiled and said, "Master Bi, I can protect you well, and I can do it as well. Come on, I haven't taught me to play chess for a long time, let's play a game."
Zhu Xu said calmly and plainly.
Bi Ziyan's face went all out of trouble, and sat down with Zhu Xu, and said with a smile: "Go is a path after all. Who can play this game of chess in the world better than Your Majesty?"
Zhu Xu seemed to have not realized it, pinching the chess piece and staring at the chessboard, affectionately and seriously.
Bi Ziyan glanced at Zhu Xu and also picked up the chess piece.
When he entered the capital, the outer court knew nothing except the Ganqing Palace. This also means that Sun Chuanting did not know what the Ganqing Palace was about to do.
Bi Ziyan is a person who takes care of the overall situation. Under what circumstances is he needed to take care of the overall situation?
Zhu Xu didn't say anything, and Bi Ziyan didn't ask either.
...
The cabinet issued a "land ban" to restrict land transactions a while ago, causing a stir inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, and now it has issued a relatively sudden government order.
It is not so much a government order, but rather a notice, that is, the cabinet announced the number of land that the imperial court will distribute before the summer harvest and relevant procurement rules.
If the number of land distribution is limited, even the supporting procurement is naturally limited. This is a thunder for those big businessmen who hoard land and collude with officials and businessmen to make a fortune!
They all overlooked a problem, that is, land distribution cannot be achieved overnight, so the fertilizers, oxen, pesticides, etc. needed are also limited.
But they rushed forward and produced too many fertilizers, ploughs, oxen, pesticides, etc., which were a hundred times more than the imperial court needed!
As soon as this decree was released, it seemed as if the entire Ming Dynasty was in full swing.
Shenlong Mansion.
He Yunshan met three big businessmen and was also his partner for many years since he was with Huitong Trading Company.
One of them is a tea merchant who contracted the twelve tea mountains of the Royal Trading Group, each of which paid hundreds of thousands of taels of profit. Of course, there are many other partners. This person has strong strength, good management, and has few losses.
His name is Hu Zhengzhou, sitting opposite He Yunshan, and said with a wry smile: "Old He, you have to help me this time. The fertilizer and pesticides I have accumulated in my hand are worth more than 300,000 silver dollars. If I don't take action as soon as possible, it will expire. If I lose my hands, I will lose everything!"
Another, with a fat head and big ear, is a salt merchant, the general agent of the salt merchant in Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. The annual profit is 300,000 silver dollars. He also has a huge distribution network with complex business and involves a large number of grain, oil and cloth. His name is 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 pay 300,000 yuan to repay the bank's loan. I really can't stand the interest every day..."
The last one is a ship dealer. He owns more than 40 ships, traveling between Japan, Ryukyu, Luzon and other places. He transports back and forth countless goods back and forth, and his annual profit is unimaginable. He is one of the most important fleets of Shenlong Mansion. His name is Zhu Quangui.
Zhu Quangui looked at He Yunshan, and said in a bleak mood, "Old He, I admit that I am confused and shouldn't trust those officials easily, but my thin arms can't force my thighs. You have the imperial concubine as your backer, but we don't. Just think of a way to help me overcome this hurdle. As long as I pass, I, Zhu Quangui, are willing to be a cow and a horse for you..."
The purpose of these people is very simple. Cabinet procurement is carried out by the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue cannot escape and entrusted this matter to the Royal Trading Group. These three people are here to win the qualification to be given priority in the cabinet!
He Yunshan looked at the three of them and sighed calmly, saying, "Why don't you understand? There are not many of these purchased by the cabinet. Do you think you will really let you bid?"
All three of them were smart businessmen and suddenly woke up.
