"Although that's the case, the financial power evaluation is definitely necessary." Ma Jiancheng smiled, "After all, having higher financial power can lead to a more advantage in future leaders, right?"

Ma Jiancheng said this, just to give Feng Tong a face. It was not yet time to completely tear his face. Ma Jiancheng was not that stupid yet and had offended him to death in one go.

Feng Tong nodded, "I still agree with the owner of Ma's business. You can add some evaluations in addition to the financial evaluation, but there must be financial evaluations. Look, every summit and activities of major sects, isn't our Bishui Villa paying for it?"

"Yes." Ma Jiancheng waved his hand, "Let's start, I will give up first. I am in the court of Tonghu Villa and don't have that much money."

Feng Tong smiled confidently, and he signaled, and the servant behind him took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table. Feng Tong said, "This is a property list stamped by the honest gold store. Last year, the Jiangnan silk store, porcelain manufacturing, and tea managed by Bishui Villa all achieved great success. The silver price was removed and the total amount of money was earned by one million taels."

One million taels! Everyone present was surprised. Unexpectedly, the money earned by Bishui Villa reached a new high. Zhu Yunwen frowned. The imperial court's tax revenue per year was only a few million taels, and a merchant in Bishui Villa only one million taels?

But soon, Zhu Yunwen put down his thoughts. The court changed the tax standards and in the future, he would collect taxes from merchants. The silver prices of the court would definitely double every year. Moreover, as the number one merchant in Jiangnan, Fengtong should also have this strength.

Feng Tong looked at the people present proudly and smiled, "Bishui Villa has been the one who makes the most money among the sects in the martial arts world since a few years ago. I hope that this year, does anyone have more?"

Everyone present fell silent. When Feng Tong was happy, Li Yuan of Zhongyuan spoke. He quietly took out a certificate from his arms, "This is my Li Quanmen income this year, totaling one million and two million taels."

One million and two hundred thousand taels? Feng Tong's expression was dull, and he swallowed, "Sect Master Li Yuan, are you kidding us?"

"I'm like the kind of person who likes to joke?" Li Yuan looked at Feng Tong, "Don't forget, who is deliberately supporting you in the past few years?"

Feng Tong was stunned. Indeed, before the rise of Bishui Villa, it was just a second-rate sect. Feng Tong was only one of the top merchants in Jiangnan. He was still a little short of reaching the top level.

Not long after Jiang Kai arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he quickly occupied the position of the No. 1 Business School in Jiangnan with his experience in his previous life. Feng Tong was surprised by the young man's methods, so Feng Tong chose to go to see Jiang Kai with a gun.

Jiang Kai could see at a glance that this man was not simple, but Jiang Kai had no great ambitions at that time. The number one businessman in Jiangnan was just wanted to play, so Jiang Kai simply taught Fengtong and intentionally or unintentionally let Fengtong do some silk fabrics and tea. Later, Jiang Kai left the Jiangnan area, and Fengtong took this opportunity to completely become the most famous businessman in Jiangnan.

Although Fengtong was an old fox, the most important thing for ancient merchants was loyalty and kindness of knowing each other, so Fengtong was still very grateful for Jiang Kai's help.

"What do you mean?" Feng Tong asked with a frown.

Li Yuan said lightly, "The original Jiangnan First Shang went to Xi'an to be an official. Our Liquanmen saw the opportunity and found him. Unexpectedly, although he had a temporary transfer order, his preparations in Xi'an were already very thorough. Some people even said that he was a member of the court. No matter what, Jiang Kai accepted us and integrated his assets into the Liquanmen."

Zhu Yunwen knew that because he had disclosed a long time ago that he wanted Jiang Kai to be an official in Jiangxi, although Jiang Kai had only been away for a few days, his business property was brought to the Central Plains very early. Zhu Yunwen also wanted to use Jiang Kai's ability to recruit Zhongyuan merchants, so he adopted an attitude of agreement with this matter.

"This... how is this possible?" Feng Tong said in disbelief. Jiang Kai's whereabouts caused a lot of discussion in the Jiangnan merchants' industry, but unexpectedly, he would go to Xi'an to be an official and was preparing to support Li Yuan's Liquan Sect.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask someone to verify the authenticity of this credential." Li Yuan hugged his fists, "Master Feng Manor, don't be too arrogant and proud of being a person. After all, there are mountains outside the mountain and people outside the people." After saying that, Li Yuan stood up and walked out of the house. There was no need to compare. There were only four people present. Ma Jiancheng and the people of the Mobei family were not competitive. Now Li Yuan crushed Feng Tong again.

Ma Jiancheng shook his head. He didn't expect Li Yuan to have this killer move. It seemed that he had the same idea as his. He was rich and powerful, so he wanted to seek peace for his family, so he was so excited when he saw the imperial edict.

Another person in the room left. As soon as Ma Jiancheng was about to leave, Feng Tong said lightly, "Ma Manor, what's the name of this servant behind you? Why haven't you taken him before?"

"He, it doesn't matter whether he asks or not." Ma Jiancheng smiled, "I only promoted him this year, and it's normal that you haven't seen him."

Feng Tong looked at Ma Jiancheng who was walking out of the house with a gloomy face. He slapped the table and said, "Everything is being prepared!"

"Master, aren't they keeping these things to the summit just to suppress our Tonghu Villa?" The servant behind Feng Tong said softly.

"Hmph! The martial arts sects in the world are the most respected. It's not certain who will kill them!" Feng Tong snorted coldly, "Xiao Ba, go and check the servant behind Ma Jiancheng for me."

Xiao Ba was stunned, "Master, let's check what that little servant is doing."

"I don't know, I just think I need to check it out." Feng Tong said, "I don't care about other people, but this servant gives me a very strange feeling. Go and see when he entered Tonghu Villa."

Zhu Yunwen and Ma Jiancheng walked out of the bamboo house, Gu Xiao, who was standing by, leaned over and whispered, "Your Majesty, how about you?"

"It's still smart and cunning, but after staying in the sect for a long time, it's inevitable that there will be some sensation in the sect, and their emotions cannot be concealed." Zhu Yunwen smiled casually, "From the current form, Feng Tong is at a disadvantage, but no one knows whether he has a killer move. Li Yuan also needs to pay attention to it. It's not easy for someone who can hide his trump card for so long."

Gu Xiao nodded and said, "By the way, the emperor, several Jinyiwei have already sneaked in in the suits of Tonghu Mountain Villa. I'll wait for your order now."
