Chapter 432: Pretending to Fail


The boy froze there, unable to react.

You must not be able to take out five taels of silver to bargain with the person in front of you, that would be too embarrassing!

But if you can't take it out, it's even more embarrassing!

He still has a hundred taels of silver ticket in his arms now, which belongs to the money village over there in Jiang/Su, but the people in the capital only recognize Huitong Commercial Bank, and he will lose his face when he takes it out!

The young man's eyes flickered for a while, his left hand was still in his arms, his head stretched out to Zhu Xu, and he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, you go first, go downstairs, and let the shopkeeper give you thirty taels!"

Let's just say I said it!

” Zhu Xu couldn't help but laugh in his heart, this one was really interesting, after thinking about it, he was just about to give him a face, Xiao Er came up quickly with a plate, and said in a long voice: "Guest officer, your wine and food are here!"

” Saying that, Xiao Er didn't care about anything else, quickly put the plate on the table, looked at the young man who was bullying half of the body on the table strangely, and then turned around and left.

Zhu Xu glanced at the wine and food on the table, and his stomach suddenly became hungry, but he still wanted to tease the young man, and said with a smile, "These dishes also cost two taels of silver, and you have to give me thirty-five taels." ” "Poof!"

The girl in pink not far away covered her mouth and laughed.

The girl in green also couldn't help but smile and looked at Zhu Xu curiously.

Ten taels reached thirty-five taels in the blink of an eye, either he knew how to do business, or he did it on purpose.

The young man was also completely angered by Zhu Xu's sentence of 'twenty-five taels', and violently slapped out the one hundred taels of silver tickets in his arms, and lowered his voice and roared: "Give you one hundred taels, get out of me immediately!"

” Cao Huachun behind Zhu Xu, Cao Bianjiao's face was slightly gloomy, Daming, who can let the emperor go!

Zhu Xu's eyes were a little cold, and he slowly took out a silver ticket from his arms, slapped it on the table, and said, "This is a thousand taels, I will buy your store, you can get out." ” The young man immediately sneered and said, "Brother, you still lived a few years ago, right?"

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Households, the largest silver ticket in the entire Daming Qian Zhuang can only be one hundred taels, you are a fool of a thousand taels......"

The two girls not far away also looked at Zhu Xu with wide eyes, and the two of them looked puzzled, Zhu Xu in their eyes was extravagant, with a servant, and he didn't look like a liar.

Zhu Xu pushed the silver ticket over, smiled faintly, and said: "When Huitong Commercial Bank conducts large-scale transactions, it is allowed to open a silver ticket of one thousand taels, but it is very rare, as long as the big businessman has it, if you don't know it, find someone you know, your restaurant is worth five hundred taels at most, you let people withdraw the silver, I don't accept the silver ticket." ” The young man listened to Zhu Xu's words, was stunned, picked up the silver ticket and looked down, bronzing, imprints, virtual images, the young man used all the methods that could be verified, and he couldn't find a fake flaw.

"Really?"

The boy whispered with some hesitation.

Anyone who can take out a thousand taels casually is not something he can crush at will.

Zhu Xu nodded.

The young man was stupid, thinking of the charming and lovely second lady behind him, his eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, my eldest brother is Master Fu, can you sell face today?"

” Zhu Xu Yileng, the only one in the capital who can be called 'Fu Dagongzi' is Fu Tao.

Fu Tao's family background he knows best, except for his cousin, he has never had any other younger brother.

At this time, the inner prison who had gone out before came back and whispered a few words in Cao Huachun's ear.

Cao Huachun waved his hand, then walked in front of Zhu Xu and whispered in his ear, "It's the Fu family's branch in Ying/Tianfu, running errands for the eldest prince." ” Zhu Xu suddenly realized that it would take several generations to trace the relationship.

He looked at the young man in front of him, who could be regarded as his distant cousin, and said with a smile, "Then you call Master Fu to come, as long as he comes, this thousand taels will be yours." ” The young man also saw that the person in front of him was indeed not something he could settle, it was too shameless to go back in such a gray way, his face was struggling, and he was still trying to figure out a way.

Zhu Xu didn't give him a chance to struggle, and said, "If you don't call, I can call it." ” The young man was worried, and when he heard it, he became energetic, and said loudly: "You call, if you can call, I will give you all the fifty taels!"

” As soon as the young man's voice fell, footsteps sounded on the stairs, Fu Tao was dressed in a white shirt, and walked towards Zhu Xu's table after looking around.

The boss with the young man's eyes glared, stood up and looked at Fu Tao, and then at Zhu Xu, until Fu Tao approached, and then expected Ai Ai's words to say, "Big brother......

Fu Tao was also wondering, why Fu Zhengzhi was with Zhu Xu, he was patiently puzzled, raised his hand to Zhu Xu and said, "Little Wangye." ” This is the title that has been discussed before, Zhu Xu beckoned, and said with a smile: "Master Fu, let's sit together." ” Fu Tao listened to the obvious ridicule in Zhu Xu's words, smiled awkwardly, and sat down on Zhu Xu's left.

The young Fu Zhengzhi is not standing when he leaves, and even his eldest brother Fu Tao has to be respectful to the 'little prince', which he must not offend.

Fu Tao knew that Zhu Xu asked him to discuss things, so he waved his hand at Fu Zhengzhi and said, "Go ahead, don't use my banner to cause trouble." ” Fu Zhengzhi was like being amnestied, first raised his hand to Fu Tao, and then gave Zhu Xu a big smile, then turned around and walked downstairs quickly, he couldn't take care of the second lady anymore.

The two girls not far away were also quite surprised by Zhu Xu's sudden revelation of his identity, fortunately, there were as many princes in the capital as dogs, and the little princes were everywhere, and there was nothing unusual, and the two saw that Fu Zhengzhi was no longer entangled, and they also followed downstairs.

Zhu Xu picked up the chopsticks and said, "Let's talk while eating." ” Fu Tao also held the chopsticks, but he didn't move, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, now there are always thirty-two money houses in the country, and our Huitong Commercial Bank is the largest, basically each of them has shares, and can completely control the whereabouts of the silver, and if the court needs silver, give me a little time, one or two million, and I can raise it within a month." ” Zhu Xu ate the sauce duck and did not answer Fu Tao's words.

Fu Tao saw that Zhu Xu didn't speak, so he said slowly: "Your Majesty, now the silver tickets of Huitong Commercial Bank range from five yuan, ten yuan, fifty yuan, to five yuan, one tael, ten taels, and the largest is one hundred taels. ” This Zhu Xu had already read the report, took a sip of soup, and nodded.

Fu Tao continued: "I have estimated that the profit of major commercial banks this year will exceed 30 million taels of silver, but the purchase of grain and acres will cost more than 10 million taels. ” Zhu Xu smoothed the duck meat, licked his lips, and was silent in thought.

As his reforms continued to advance, the commerce of the Ming Dynasty was further liberated, the Jiangnan official and merchant groups were weakened, and countless large and small businessmen also rose, in short, the middle class of the Ming Dynasty was expanding.

The size of the middle class also determines the degree of business exhibition in a country.

Zhu Xu's huge commercial group monopolizes salt, tea, commercial houses and other violent industries, as well as various gadgets from workshops in the east of the city, plus the more vigorous sea trade, 30 million profits, in general, it is still less.

Fu Tao saw that Zhu Xu still didn't speak, so he had to continue: "Your Majesty, Haimao, is in a lot of trouble now.

The red-haired people invaded, looted our merchant ships, and arrested people to detain ships, and some of the relationship networks that were built up with great difficulty in Luzon and other places will be broken in a short time, and the red-haired people don't want us to gain a firm foothold in the South Seas. ” The merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty were often loaded with porcelain, silk, tea, etc., and they came back with gold, spices, etc., all of which were valuable, and every time they were robbed, they were heavy losses.

Fu Tao 66 continued to say, after years of exhibition, Huitong Commercial Bank is basically mature, but it still often encounters difficulties, facing the resistance of conservative forces and local protectionism, serious xenophobia, just like Jiangnan, for Huitong Commercial Bank, many places are not welcome, even if they know that this is the emperor's industry.

These are no longer the household department, or which department can solve them, but Zhu Xu still needs to promote it from the overall situation, either moisturizing things silently, or forcibly and drastically changing to open up the road.

Zhu Xu waited for Fu Tao to finish speaking, and he had almost eaten, then his fingers tapped on the table, and he pondered: "Grain prices, when the sweet potatoes are dug up in September, I will let all places suppress the grain prices, and the commercial banks are still responsible for collecting the major grain merchants, they must be fast and accurate, and it is good to collect one more grain of grain." ” "In the matter of maritime trade, I will order the sailors to conduct ocean-going training, and if necessary, I will also rob the merchant ships of the red-haired people in retaliation.

In the offshore, my Ming sailor is invincible!

” "I'm thinking about the possibility of businessmen providing disaster relief in various disaster areas to reduce taxes, and my eldest brother will be able to go back and wonder if it's feasible."

"In recent days, you have summoned businessmen from all over the country to come to Beijing for a meeting to discuss a businessman's standard, and after discussion, brother, you personally go and present it to King Jing, and report it to the celebrant after the discussion."

Fu Tao took out a small notebook and wrote down Zhu Xu's words word for word.

After all, Zhu Xu didn't do it himself, he said it in generalities, and Fu Tao also gave some opinions from time to time, discussing while talking.

"Your Majesty!"

Feng Zhu hurriedly ran up from downstairs, and didn't care about anything else, and said directly: "The emperor is not good, there are bandits in Shaanxi/West who have occupied most of Banping/Liangfu, and now Feng/Yang Mansion will also be lost!"

” Zhu Xu's face changed slightly when he heard this, Feng/Yang Mansion is very small, close to Xi/An, if Xi/An falls, the entire Shaanxi/West will be chaotic.

"Hong Chengchou, what is Yang He doing?"

Zhu Xu said with a calm face.

Hong Chengchou was the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, and Yang He was the governor of Shaanxi.

Feng Zhu hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, it is said that General Hong has entered Xi/An and is heading to Feng/Yang Mansion, and Governor Yang is also ordering soldiers and horses to gather in various prefectures and counties, but the slaves and maids heard that this time the bandits are menacing, with 200,000 people!"

” Zhu Xu's fingers tapped on the tabletop, his face unpredictable. 200,000, there must be a lot of water, there is Hong Chengchou, Zhu Xu is not worried, not to mention, the soldiers and horses of Si/Sichuan, Gui/Zhou, He/South, and Mountain/West can enter Shaanxi at any time.

The most important thing now is how to provide disaster relief and reduce the number of victims, otherwise someone will ascend to the heights and shout, and the servants will gather, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court will be busy running for their lives, and the consumption will be very large.

Such internal friction must be curbed as soon as possible!

Feng Zhu saw that Zhu Xu didn't speak, and said: "Sun Chengzong, Sun Ge Lao, Sun Chuanting, and Lord Sun all invite the emperor to return to the palace, and there are important matters to discuss. ”
