Chapter 248 Military Order

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are at the bottom, and Chu Zhuanglou is not qualified to meet the eldest princess.

But Chu Zhuanglou said: "As you said, if the eldest princess is really dedicated to serving the people, she will agree to anything that is beneficial to the victims. She just wants to calm down the flood in Xin'an County as soon as possible and save the people from suffering. Then she will definitely meet me."

He thought hard for a long time, thinking that the Chu family is the richest man in Zhejiang, with huge resources and contacts in their hands, so he decided to give it a try.

"It's interesting." The imperial court wanted to quell the disaster as soon as possible. In addition to relying on the strength of local aristocratic families, it also needed the support of local business gentry. Chu Zhuanglou took the initiative to show favor, but fell asleep and met a pillow.

Yue Zongchang felt uneasy.

"Please come in!" Jiang Fuguang smiled.

Chuzhuang Tower had already made many preparations for the disaster relief, but kept it secret, waiting for the supervision history to help the court calm down the disaster and achieve the goal of gaining both fame and fortune.

Two thousand camp tents are the most scarce supplies, and they are the "stones of inquiry" sent by Chuzhuang Tower.

……

Chu Zhuanglou waited outside the county yamen gate, looking at the county yamen's bulletin with hands behind their backs, and the handwriting of the pavilion was elegant and round, upright and bright, and the pen and ink reflected the beauty of grandeur and grandeur.

Every word expresses that the disaster in Xin'an County is preventable and controllable;
It is urgent to provide disaster relief and relief to the people;

The order of the imperial court for disaster relief has been issued, and the relief funds will be issued soon;
Call for comprehensive plague prevention and relief;

……

Every list expresses the imperial court's determination to rescue the people from disasters, which greatly inspires people's hearts and plays a role in appeasing people's hearts.

Chu Zhuanglou also thought about visiting the Yue family yesterday, and when he asked the Eldest Princess, Yue Zongchang was full of admiration: "The Eldest Princess is kind and dedicated to the people, and she will agree to anything that is beneficial to the disaster."

It looked like he didn't say anything, but in fact he said everything.

Zongzhang Yue was hinting to him that by helping the princess to quell the disaster, he could gain enough benefits from the princess. From this, it can be seen that the family of the Yue family has already benefited from the princess.

At this time, Yue Zongchang came out in a hurry: "The eldest princess summoned you."

Chu Zhuanglou's face was calm, not surprised that the eldest princess met him, he adjusted his clothes unhurriedly, and went to the county office together with Yue Zongchang to meet the eldest princess.

He is handsome and elegant, he doesn't look like a businessman, he looks like a scholar. He is about 25 or six years old, about the same age as Yue Ting. He is dressed in blue Songjiang cotton clothes, and he is frugal. Intrinsic, very rare.

Chu Zhuanglou is also a character.

He was gifted and intelligent when he was young, and he liked to read. Father Chu was overjoyed and sent him to the Yue Family Academy without hesitation, hoping that he could become an official in the future.

It's a pity that Chu Zhuanglou studied in the Yuejia Academy for three years, but he didn't make any progress. He even got the reputation of being 'tough', and was returned home by the Yuejia Academy.

Others laughed at the fact that a merchant from the Chu family wanted to become an official, it was just a dream.

Chuzhuang Tower became the object of ridicule in Hangzhou County.

Three years ago, Chu Zhuanglou suddenly passed the examination by the imperial court, and was named a talented person, and returned to his hometown with a splendid dress. Father Chu set up a ten-day water mat in Hangzhou City, and even the beggars in the city could beg for a bite.

But what is surprising is that after Chu Zhuanglou gained fame, he was beaten to death and refused to enter the Imperial Academy, but ran back to Hangzhou to do business.

But even so, no one in the entire Hangzhou County dared to underestimate him, and everyone called him:
Chu Maocai!
Jiang Fuguang was a little surprised: "Sit down and talk!"

Chu Zhuang Lou thanked En and got up, and saw the girl in the hall, with black hair in a phoenix bun, eyebrows swept lightly, light blue Songjiang cotton clothes, and a pine flower skirt, elegant and gentle.

She only made ordinary clothes, but it looked like she was a musk orchid tree, and she was beautiful in the sky.

Jiang Fuguang's voice is gentle and elegant: "Chu Maocai donated generously to help the victims. On behalf of the imperial court and the people affected by the disaster in Xin'an County, I thank Chu Maocai for his righteousness."

Hearing the sincerity in her tone, Chu Zhuanglou couldn't help being startled, and quickly said: "Princess, the words are serious, all the wealth of the merchants is taken from the people, only when the court is stable and the people live and work in peace, can there be a steady stream of money to earn. "

"Chu Maocai is a practical person." Jiang Fuguang smiled deeply, "There have been Confucian businessmen since ancient times, who paid attention to personal cultivation, operated with integrity, took virtue as the foundation of their lives, and had family and country feelings. What Chu Maocai said, worthy of the name of a Confucian businessman."

Not to mention the fame and fame of Chu Zhuanglou, the Chu family was the richest businessman in Zhejiang Province and a major taxpayer in the Southern Dynasty. The files of the Chu family were kept in the household department, and every move was under the control of the court.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhuanglou hurriedly said: "I can't be the eldest princess."

"I heard from Master Yue that you want to do business with Gu," Jiang Fuguang showed an interested expression, "I would like to hear more about it."

Chu Zhuanglou was certain in his heart: "If you want to receive the disaster relief money from the imperial court, it will arrive in Hangzhou in a few days. At that time, the eldest princess will use the fastest speed to turn the money into a food and medicine tent for disaster relief."

"Chu is not talented, so the Eldest Princess can leave it to Chu to do the raising of relief supplies. Chu can issue a military order to the Eldest Princess, guaranteeing to raise the most supplies in the shortest time and at the lowest price, and do everything possible to help the disaster relief. The princess quelled the disaster."

The materials donated by the aristocratic family can only solve the urgent need. If the disaster situation in Xin'an County is to be quelled, the imperial court must come forward to provide disaster relief. Only in the shortest possible time can the country's materials be mobilized to relieve the victims with all their strength. This is the most important thing.

How to use this disaster relief fund to properly resettle the people is indeed a question that Jiang Fuguang is considering.

Chuzhuang Tower came prepared.

The shortest time;

lowest price;

The most supplies!

Jiang Fuguang was indeed moved, she did not agree straight away: "Such a large batch of disaster relief funds, the supplies needed are huge, can the Chu family afford it?"

"To be honest, when the dam burst, the Chu family had already contacted the commercial routes in various states and was ready to call for supplies at any time."

"Although Chu is not talented, he still has some influence in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If Chu takes over the matter of raising food for the imperial court's disaster relief, the local government will open the door for convenience, and the giant merchants who have the supplies will naturally have to cooperate. Chu naturally has a way to raise a large amount of supplies at the lowest price in a short period of time."

"After the event is completed, the eldest princess will be named, and the Chu family will use the imperial court to further expand the trade routes in various states, so that the victims can be properly resettled. This is a win-win situation."

"Chu Maocai abandoned the short-term profit to seek a long-term plan and open his eyes." Chu Zhuanglou's move was not to make money from the court, but to take the opportunity to expand the business of the Chu family.

It's right to think about it.

The dignified Princess Protector of the Country sits in Xin'an County, and the entire county is under control. Even if a businessman has superpowers, he would not dare to take the opportunity to earn money from the court.

The unclear meaning made Chu Zhuanglou feel a little nervous, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he lowered his head cautiously, as if he was listening attentively.
