The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 352 Annan's Beginning
The huge sales of coal, or coal, especially the scene of slowly queuing up, made many businessmen feel envious.

This low price, after a little inquiring, it is known that the government has made a move.

In fact, there is no specific price for coal itself. The market price mainly depends on the government. The previous high price is mainly because this thing is not allowed to run by the private sector.

Under control, the outflow is less, so the price will naturally become more expensive.

The next day, the merchants felt that spring was coming, and the government announced that from now on, chambers of commerce with sufficient strength would be reviewed and they could apply to the government for coal payment documents.

That is to say, as long as you find a coal deposit and submit the corresponding qualifications to the government, you can mine and sell it yourself.

Although there are many clauses in it, it still caused a thousand waves in the entire business world.

"The scene of the Ming Dynasty is getting more and more different. Even mining has been allowed to run by the private sector. We are finally looking forward to the end of the good days for businessmen."

"His Royal Highness Taisun did a lot of business when he was living among the people, and his Qunying Chamber of Commerce is even the top of the business world. He has a clear understanding of business matters, which is why he has done such a good deed."

"If the price of charcoal comes down, the common people will be able to afford it. This is how many people will be saved from dying in winter every winter, and the merit will be immeasurable."

"Hey, I don't know how many big businessmen will get rich because of it."

"What's the matter? After all, these days are getting better and better. It is the wages of the miners, which is not a small amount. It is clearly stated in the notice that the safety of the people who go to the mine should be guaranteed. If there is an accident, there should be compensation. .”

"Good guy, this pension depends on the age, it's 30 taels, it's really precious."

"Huh, in the hands of those big merchants, 30 taels is nothing. It's not as good as the reward for the top card in the gold-selling cave. His Royal Highness is benevolent and righteous. First, set the rules to death, otherwise no one will dare to enter the mine."

A large number of letters were sent from the capital to the entire Ming Dynasty. There were not many coal mines in the south, but there were a large number of them in the north.

In the big business gangs all over the capital, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce dominates.

But this does not mean that there are no local business gangs in the capital.

On the contrary, after the capital was devastated, business gangs from all over the world paid more attention to the dissemination of news. After all, the rules of the world are established by the court, and businessmen understand the importance of information and intelligence.

The benefits of knowing some news in advance are too great. For example, the business gang on the Jiangnan side has opened up a special route dedicated to the transmission of information.

Even if it means a loss in the price of the goods on that trip, I will not hesitate.

"This year's Beijing Normal University is really bustling. In previous years, I'm afraid it would have been a few days before the end of the new year before it would have such a grand event."

"The streets are bustling with people, and it's so cold that they don't even stay at home."

The street near the Qinhuai River, the second floor of the restaurant.

Li Jinglong looked at the scene outside the window, and said to Zhu Di with some sighs.

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and said with some envy: "I have to say that my grandson is really talented in business affairs. Even this king has to admire him."

"It's not just the common people, but also the sons of Yihua and the female servants in this palace. They rush to the streets every day. I have never seen such diligence before."

Li Jinglong replied with a smile: "I'm afraid it's a lot of expenses. Now I don't know why. There are suddenly more people spending money on the street. If you have a little money in the future, you can hide it well. "

"Nowadays, everyone is going to buy this and that one after another. Even the cold weather can't stop it. Grandson really has something."

Zhu Di replied: "This is Taisun's group of British chambers of commerce, who wantonly purchased goods from various places, and then dumped them at a low price. I heard from Yihua that the prices of some goods are several cents lower than those of my king, Beiping."

"I knew that this is the capital, and the goods are shipped from all over the place, but they are sold at a lower price than the local ones, which is unimaginable."

Zhu Di and Li Jinglong, or the entire Ming Dynasty, have never seen the power of wholesale prices.

Zhu Ying has the memory of her previous life, so she is naturally very familiar with this set. Although the transportation conditions are a little worse, the price drop is real.

For this kind of cheap selling, most businessmen feel unreasonable. There are small profits but quick sales, but such a large-scale dumping involves almost all daily necessities, and it is really too terrifying.

Not to mention other places, at least at the wharf beside the Yangtze River in the capital, a large amount of goods are constantly being shipped in, and there are no shops that dare to raise prices, it is purely playing themselves to death.

"Auntie, I don't know what happened after entering the palace." After exchanging pleasantries, Li Jinglong asked.

Zhu Di also told him about Xu Yihua's entry into the palace.

As far as the entire capital is concerned, the only person Zhu Di can speak his mind and communicate with is Li Jinglong.

Zhu Di shook his head slightly and said: "Yihua went to look for Concubine Ning, but although Concubine Ning agreed to help make peace, she is very afraid of the grandson. She originally wanted to have a banquet in the mansion, but now it seems that it can only be a year-end event." At the banquet, find another time."

Li Jinglong nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then sighed: "His Royal Highness has too many means. What I have seen so far is proficient in military affairs, business affairs, political affairs, and personnel affairs. God-given talents are hard to match."

"Now Your Majesty is very happy every day. This year's harvest is abundant, the treasury is abundant, and the internal funds are under the management of the grandson. I am afraid that there is no shortage of money. For this Zhengdan banquet, it is said that the grandson has invited famous chefs from all over the country. It is rare to gather all over the world, and the abundance of dishes at that time is unimaginable."

"His Majesty has always advocated thrift, but this time, although he readily agrees, it is clear that all the expenses will be paid by the grandson."

Speaking of this, Li Jinglong had a flash of inspiration and said: "Recently, it was announced that the government has given the right to mine and purchase. If I remember correctly, there are a lot of coal mines in Beiping. Why don't my cousin take this opportunity to start a business and get some profit? Quite rich."

When Zhu Di heard this, he hesitated a little, and said: "This is a matter of buying and selling, the way of a businessman, I am a dignified vassal, why do I lower my status and do such a lowly thing."

Li Jinglong immediately said: "This statement is wrong. Now the Taisun Qunying Chamber of Commerce is very famous, and it is also a national treasury. It has created a lot of money. I know that there are many people who want to benefit from it."

"Going forward, keep your eyes on the land property. Since the Liang Guogong incident, many nobles have set their sights on the way of buying and selling. This is real money."

"Now sweet potatoes and other high-yield crops have begun to be shipped to all parts of the country. It can be seen that next year's food prices will definitely drop. Now we can only have enough money by following His Highness Taisun and doing business in that way."

Zhu Ying manipulated business and used policies to assist him. The money he earned was too amazing.

Although no one can figure out how many there are, all fools understand that the goods on the pier are piled up like mountains, and they are being dumped in the capital.

The rest of the chambers of commerce are in the capital, just lingering on their last legs.

With a population of one million in the capital, the profits from this are incalculable.

All walks of life are now almost under the control of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

The goods of each workshop are basically purchased by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce and sold to other places.

Because the goods belonging to the Qunying Chamber of Commerce will have obvious signs when they come in and out. If you observe carefully, you will know how big the volume is.

Zhu Di pondered for a while.

According to Li Jinglong's statement, it is indeed so.

Now the prince is taking the lead in business, and it seems to be very good. It can be seen that in the future, the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business may change, and the status of businessmen will be improved to a certain extent.

At least when it comes to business, people don't despise it so much.

I knew that before, even just a few months ago, businessmen in the capital, even a small yamen servant, could call and shout at him without the slightest worry.

Even behind this chamber of commerce, it has its own background, but as the backstage, it hardly shows up in business affairs.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, officials and their family members are prohibited from engaging in business, but at least many people secretly control the business.

Now that Zhu Ying has put all of this on the bright side, the situation is very different.

When the business gangs in various places were attacked, almost no one stood up to speak out and let them be destroyed.

In fact, there is no official support behind any big chamber of commerce. The so-called government-business collusion has been like this since ancient times, and it is inevitable to want to grow bigger.

Now the grandson makes a move, no one stops him, and no one dares to stop him.

Once involved, there is no possibility of escape.

The royal family is different, or a vassal king like Zhu Di, or even a dignitary like Li Jinglong, has no legal restrictions.

Strictly speaking, Zhu Di also engaged in business, such as Jingshi property and shop management, but these Zhu Di never paid attention to.

If it was Zhu Di in the past, he would definitely scoff at Li Jinglong's words, but after so many changes, especially the change of mentality yesterday, it feels good to think about it now.

"There are indeed more coal mines in Beiping. If they can be taken down, it will be a lot of money."

Zhu Di calculated in his mind a little, and found that there was indeed a lot to do.

The demand for coal in the north is an absolute necessity, especially when Beiping goes to Liaodong, Nuergan and other places.

Now that fertile black soil is found there, the court will relocate a large number of people and troops.

There is no need to worry about selling this coal at all, as much as it is almost dug out, it can be sold.

What is the difference between this and digging for silver directly.

There are also a large number of coal mines near Zhu Di's palace in Beiping.

The crooked-neck tree in Meishan, which was hanged by Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty, also has a lot to do with coal.

Of course, the so-called mountain of coal is not really a mountain with a lot of coal.

There are beautiful mountains and clear waters, which have nothing to do with coal.

The reason why it is called Meishan is because Zhu Di once piled up coal when he built the imperial palace here in history, so Meishan is just a common name.

The real official name is Zhenshan, Longevity Mountain, an excellent geomantic treasure.

There is a hundred orchards below, and there are deer, cranes and other auspicious animal breeding.

After the Beiping Imperial Palace was built, pines and cypresses spread all over the mountain, and cranes and deer flocked in the garden.In the north of the imperial garden, there are palaces and pavilions such as the Shouhuang Palace, and many precious fruit trees are planted.During the Double Ninth Festival, the emperors of all dynasties after the Ming Dynasty would go to the mountains to have a feast.

"It depends on whether the Taisun will let me go during the Zhengdan banquet this year. If he can guard Liaodong, and with this coal mine business, the logistics will not be worrying. Why be afraid of the grassland tribes?"

Zhu Di said with a sigh.

For most of his life, he has been dealing with various ethnic groups outside the Great Wall, and wars, large and small, happen almost every year.

It was not until this year that I went to Pingwa along the coast.

When the emperor knew that his elder brother Zhu Biao had passed away, he really had great ideas, and even felt like his dream had come true.

But now, no matter what, in name or in reality, it cannot be changed.

The life he most wanted to live was to return to Beiping and fight against those barbarians on the grassland.

From the moment of birth, he lived in the barracks, and with the conquests of the army, it was the same when he grew up.

If he wanted to be a rich and idle prince, it would really kill him.

He was born to lead the army and fight.

"Annan's place is really miraculous. It's about to be a day, and it doesn't feel cold at all. On the contrary, even the armor and cotton clothes are a bit unbearable."

"The road ahead is a bit too rough, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. No wonder the owner once said that they want to occupy Annan. It is indeed a good place."

"The mountains are everywhere, and it is difficult for those who are not familiar with the terrain to fight, and there are many miasmas. When we arrived here, it happened to be winter. If it was summer, it would be very hot."

"That makes sense. If Annan fights, it won't be in spring and summer, but in autumn and winter."

There are many mountains in Annan, the terrain is long and narrow, and most of them are dense forests.

The army is fighting here, holding back everywhere.

Even with an army of one million, it is difficult to exert one or two out of ten strengths.

After several months, the [-] troops from the capital finally arrived in southern Annan.

The reason for this exclamation is that after passing through the mountains, we arrived at the southern plain of Annan.

The southern plains are completely different from the mountains that the army experienced before.

The natural conditions here are very superior, and it looks extremely rich at first glance.

"The king's capital is just ahead. After such a long time, it's finally here."

There were already figures appearing in front of them one after another, but under the deterrence of the [-] elite army, no one dared to stay.

Most of Annan's army is composed of various indigenous tribes, and generally has [-] people, which is an incredible scale.

The [-] army is a concept, and they have never seen it in their entire lives.

Especially the neat armor, just looking at it with a single glance, is shocking.

At this time, the capital has already begun to be in chaos.

Because the army came directly with documents, it stands to reason that they should go forward and notify.

But because there are too many mountains, it is easy to get lost, and there are only a few guides.

And the advance notice may also have a deliberate idea to deter it.

Suddenly [-] troops appeared outside the capital of King Annan, no one thought it would be a good thing.

In the palace of Annan, the eunuch was so frightened that he rolled and crawled.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong, something is wrong, the army outside the city is attacking the city!!!"

This loud shout made the already chaotic palace even more chaotic.
