Fu Tao is very busy.
Before he finished dealing with the salt merchant, he came to the tea merchant again.
The only thing that pleased him was that there was more and more silver.
With these two things alone, the deposit for entering Huitong Commercial Bank is about to exceed 10 million taels!
Tea merchants and salt merchants from all over the world, as long as the scale is a little larger, all line up to enter Beijing to meet the legendary rather mysterious, the cousin of the current emperor's brother, the eldest son of the household servant!
After five or six days in a row, Fu Tao couldn't bear it.
In Huitong Commercial Bank, Zhou Jianyu, He Spruce, and Wei Liangqing were all there, and each of them was in good spirits and his eyes were red.
They are all doing very well, although they are not court officials, they have a sense of power more than court officials.
Zhou Jianyu is ambitious at the moment, not only dominating the first place in Cao Yun, but now he is paying more attention to shipping, with more and more ships and bigger business.
In the north and south of the canal alone, he hooked up hundreds of large and small chambers of commerce.
He looked at Fu Tao, who was sitting in the middle and finally took a breath, glanced at the other two, and said, "Eldest prince, shipping, when does the emperor plan to restart?"
” Fu Tao groaned for a while, and there was nothing to hide, so he said: "The military department is rectifying the coastal guards, and Lord Yuan of Penglai is also rectifying the naval army, and it is estimated that it will go south in two months at most."
By sea, at the latest by the end of the year. ” Zhou Jianyu was overjoyed and said: "That's good, when Master Fu has the shipping in and out audit documents, I don't dare to say more, Cao Yun for a year, at least I can earn eight million taels of silver for the emperor!"
” Fu Tao nodded with a smile and said: "The last time I entered the palace, the emperor praised the ability of the shopkeeper Zhou, and next year when the yuan is changed, there will be at least one hereditary replacement of 100 households in Dongchang for you." ” Jin Yiwei handed over the edict to Dongchang, and the manpower on the surface, except for the various institutions in the palace, was completely abolished in the eyes of outsiders.
Zhou Jianyu was shocked, this was an unexpected imperial grace, and he hurriedly knelt in the direction of the palace: "The grass people thank the emperor Longen." ” Fu Tao waved his hand, and although his face was tired, he still smiled, "I will lead you to thank you in the next year." ” He Yunshan and Wei Liangqing listened to the word 'you', and their hearts itched, and they didn't know what kind of reward the emperor would give them.
Fu Tao looked at the two of them and said, "How much did you donate this time from the imperial court?"
” The three of them were stunned, and they secretly regretted in their hearts, how could they forget that this was an opportunity to show their loyalty to the emperor.
He Yunshan is the most city-government, and said calmly, "Eldest son, the He family is raising money and is ready to donate 100,000 taels, and at present, the household department has received a total of 30,000 taels." ” Fu Tao shook his head with a smile and said: "You belong to you, the Chamber of Commerce belongs to the Chamber of Commerce, and public and private are separated, so that after you go back, in the name of the major chambers of commerce, donate to the imperial court......
Well, 500,000 taels, no more, no less. ” After Fu Tao finished speaking, he smiled mysteriously and said, "If you donate a lot, the emperor will give benefits." ” The three of them came to their senses immediately, and nodded happily: "Don't worry, eldest prince, we will do it when we go back." ” As the four of them were talking, a runner knocked on the door and said next to the door, "Eldest son, Fan Jinxiong is here." ” Fu Tao rubbed his face and smiled at the three of them: "After the three of them go back, contact and see if they can donate a little more, it's all other people's silver, and on the basis of not wasting human favors, how much can be squeezed." ” The three of them stood up, their faces flashed with a wicked smile, and said, "Don't worry, eldest prince, we can all save it." ” Fu Tao is satisfied with the three of them, knows and is interested, especially has a strong desire to make money, so his ability is also outstanding.
Zhengda sent the three of them to the door, there were already four people standing in the lobby, Fu Tao glanced at it, slightly chucked, and talked to Wei Liangqing and the three of them at the door for a few more words, and then turned around.
It was Fan Jinxiong who led Sun Yongzheng and Li Hanxi, and there was a young man, that is, Fan Yongdou.
Fu Tao looked at these three people, his heart moved, and he stepped forward with a smile and said, "The shopkeeper Lao Fan has been waiting for a long time. ” Fan Jinxiong was even more polite, and hugged his fists with a smile on his face, "The eldest prince is polite, Fan can afford to wait for this time." ” Fan Jinxiong also sighed in his heart that when Yang Huaizhong was in the capital, he was once co-opted by Wei Liangqing, but unfortunately he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Who can know that behind him is King Hui, and this King Hui has become the emperor today!
The salt politics of the imperial court and the tea politics have been changed in a row, others may not know, but as a Jin merchant who has business all over the world, he has been touched the most, and he knows that this is just the beginning, if you don't hug the thigh of the Fu prince in front of you now, I am afraid that they will not even have a foothold in the future!
However, he also secretly felt lucky, fortunately, he listened to Fu Tao's words earlier, established this Huijin Commercial Bank, and quietly took out those taboo businesses, otherwise, there must be his Fan family who raided the family and exterminated the clan!
Because, not long ago, several big families on the right side of the mountain who still have dealings with Jiannu have been raided by Jinyiwei.
Fu Tao looked at Li Hanji and Sun Yongzheng beside Fan Jinxiong, and said politely, "These two are Li Da shopkeeper and Sun Da shopkeeper, right?"
” Sun Yongzheng and Li Hanyi hurriedly raised their hands and said, "Exactly, I have seen the eldest son." ” "Inside, please."
Fu Tao looked at the two of them, it was a mountain of silver, and his smile was even bigger.
Fan Jinxiong paid a deposit of 800,000 taels and got a permit, if he didn't, his thousands of acres of tea land and several tea mountains would have been smashed in his hands.
The three of them followed Fu Tao into the door and sat down as guests.
After the next person poured the tea, Fu Tao took a sip, looked at the three of them and said with a smile: "The two big shopkeepers came to the capital, but it was the first time to board my small door." ” Sun Yongzheng's business, most of which are stuck in Caoyun, have been very sad in the past few months, and finally saw the main master, and said calmly with a worried expression: "The eldest prince is not easy to enter, I heard that Master Fu is donating money for the imperial court, so I dare to come to the door with a thick face." ” Fu Tao was slightly stunned, this Sun Yong is sensible.
Recently, there are more than a few wealthy businessmen and wealthy customers who have come to the capital, and very few people will actually go to the household department to donate silver.
Li Hanyi suddenly came to his senses, looked at Fu Tao, and said: "The court is in trouble, we should be generous, and Li also asked the housekeeper to prepare 50,000 taels of silver, which will be sent to the household department today." ” Sun Yongzheng frowned slightly, this Li Hanyi is a tyrant who relies on his family, he has no demeanor that a scholar should have, and he stares at the small profits in his eyes, and he is stingy and stingy, he looks down on him very much.
Fu Tao listened to it with only 50,000 taels, and said with a faint smile: "Let the shopkeeper Li bother." ” After speaking, he turned his head to Fan Jinxiong again, glanced at Fan Yongdou who was standing beside him, and said, "The shopkeeper Fan came to Beijing this time, in addition to the matter of tea, what other things are there?"
” Fan Jinxiong and Fu Tao have met many times, and after a little understanding, they took in everything, and said quietly: "Fan knows that the imperial court is donating, and the Fan family has also earned some silver in recent years, so he specially prepared 200,000 taels and prepared to donate it to the household department." ” Fu Tao smiled on his face and said loudly: "Thank you so much for the shopkeeper Fan, you can go to the Fu Mansion to sit another day, I believe my father will be very happy to see the shopkeeper Fan." ” When Fan Jinxiong heard this, he immediately said with joy, "Thank you, eldest son!"
