People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 279 King Jin cheated out of two million yuan in one play! The rich locals in Shanxi are scared out of their wits!

Zhu Yuanzhang is quite satisfied with the current blue jade.

At least Lan Yu seemed to have reflected on the things she saw in front of her.

So now rewarding him with Yujue is considered a kind of advice.

In fact, thinking about Lan Yu's fate in history, for Zhu Yuanzhang now, it can be regarded as a kind of relief from the cycle of retribution.

After all, Chen Han told him that because of his ruthless actions, the people around him left him one by one.

Modern people may not really care about causal loops, but as an ancient man, Zhu Yuanzhang believed in causal loops.

So many people close to me have left me.

In particular, his beloved eldest son would also leave him in the original history. This kind of blow is fatal to an old man.

So now he also wants to leave some blessings for himself and accumulate virtue for his children and grandchildren.

It is precisely based on this consideration that the old man is no longer so murderous.

Especially now that he has actually entrusted the world to his eldest son Zhu Biao, what else should he worry about?

It's up to his son to handle everything.

It is enough for him to take good care of himself.

Lan Yu understood how heavy his burden was now, but after seeing the flintlock gun and the red cannon, he felt that everything was not a problem.

Seeing that the knot between Zhu Yuanzhang and Lan Yu was resolved, Chen Han was also happy.

After all, Lan Yu was a tiger general. If he were to be buried like this, it would be a huge loss.

After seeing the two men settling their differences, Chen Han stepped forward and said, "Okay, everyone is happy. General, you still need a few months to adapt to the sea after taking office.

And the gunners we trained will also go to sea with your warships. I hope you can make good use of these weapons and make great contributions to my name. "

Lan Yu nodded: "Don't worry, sir, if I, Lan Yu, can't win the battle with such a good weapon, then it's my incompetence."

Everyone was overjoyed.

……

In the following time, the imperial court got on the right track in building mutual trade towns along Xuanfu and Datong.

After Chen Han directly eliminated the Zhang family in Taiyuan last time, the Shanxi merchants in Shanxi became much more honest.

Hearing that the imperial court was planning to build a town at the border this time, these Shanxi merchants didn't know whether it was because of their conscience or because they felt that they could regain the imperial court's approval through this method.

So many people donated money to show their support.

This actually surprised King Jin, who was in charge of the construction of border towns in Datong Prefecture.

Jin Palace.

At this time, Shanxi merchants had already gathered at the residence of King Jin.

The housekeeper was also very strange when he went to invite King Jin.

"Your Majesty, you said that this group of Shanxi merchants usually earn nothing, but now they hear that a new city is going to be built in Feihukou. These guys seem to have had an idea, and they have to beg for money to donate money."

King Jin just came back from outside, washed his face, and said with a smile: "What enlightened me? It's just seeing the profits in this. Besides, last time, Mr. went on a killing spree in Taiyuan Mansion and scared these people." That’s all.”

After hearing this, the housekeeper exclaimed: "My lord, do you still see them?"

Prince Jin grunted: "Don't hit the smiling man, since these people want to donate money now, why not?

The money allocated by the imperial court is the taxes of the common people. I am also thinking that if the tax revenue increases this year, I will inform the Shanxi chief envoy and write a memorial to the imperial court to exempt several poor places in Shanxi from taxes. "

The housekeeper was surprised to hear that King Jin was so kind.

You must know that King Jin has become a good person now, but he was nothing before. When the people heard King Jin's name, they would avoid it like tigers and wolves. But they didn't expect that King Jin would take the initiative to help the local area today. Opportunities for tax exemption.

This is really rare.

"What's your expression? Do you think this king is joking?" King Jin was very unhappy when he saw the butler's expression.

The butler thought: No! You didn’t know who you were before. Now, not to mention that the people outside will think that you hit your head on the door and broke it when they hear such words. Even the officials of the imperial court will think that this is a dream if they hear it!

The butler said nothing but King Jin knew what he was thinking.

He immediately said: "I know that I used to be a bastard, but now I have changed so quickly that you all think this is a lie. It doesn't matter. If I am bad, I will be bad. Anyway, now I have found something to do, and I am not interested in playing tricks on the people." we,

I feel that since my husband has entrusted me with such an important task, am I still considered a man if I don’t complete it?

My current goal is to advance to the Western Region. It is best to open up the channel to the Timur Empire and earn their money.

As for the common people, just be nice to them. "

The housekeeper fell to his knees with a plop: "Your Majesty, on behalf of the people of Shanxi, I thank you!"

King Jin helped him up: "I don't need you to thank me for this. Someone will thank me. Now I am a shrewd businessman. Instead of making the people around me miserable and not doing business with us, why not do it with me?" It's better to give the people some benefits and let them do more business with me.

If I lose a little profit now, I can get it back elsewhere. "

Although the King of Jin said so, for the people, as long as it is good for them, it is a good thing no matter what it is.

They don't care about the process, they only care about the results.

This may be what makes the common people different from other people.

Others may want to ask about the outcome during this process.

But for the common people, it is enough that they can enjoy the benefits.

After the key point thanked the prince on behalf of the people, King Jin smiled and said: "Okay, we still have to meet our businessman friends.

Hey, this group of people is really interesting. They were just scolded by my husband, and now they are here to show their courtesy.

If these people had had such an awareness before, they wouldn't have ended up like this. It's really ridiculous! "

The butler felt the same way.

If this group of people had cooperated well with the court before, maybe they wouldn't be treated like this now.

Now, no matter how they go back to make amends, they still have the illusion that they are going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing.

They must have come with some ulterior motive. This was the unanimous view of King Jin and the steward.

This is really in line with the saying that if you did something shameful before, people will be on guard against you even if you do something good later. This is the truth.

When King Jin arrived at the reception hall, he saw more than 20 businessmen waiting here.

Many of these twenty people are old friends. Several of them were old acquaintances who had formed a Western branch for the first time, and several of the others were famous businessmen in Shanxi.

The fact that these people came together made His Royal Highness the King of Jin a little curious as to what kind of trouble they were going to cause.

"Common people meet His Highness the Prince!"

As soon as King Jin arrived, everyone quickly bowed their heads and kowtowed.

These people were somewhat arrogant before, but now they are very polite and no longer dare to show any slight.

Because they know very well that as long as they lead a little slower, they may lose their lives like the Zhang family. Compared with life, dignity is nothing worth mentioning.

"What are you doing here? Haven't you all signed an agreement to join the Daiming branch? Since you have done everything you need to do, as long as you do business well, everyone will make a fortune together!" King Jin sat on the chair and asked leisurely road.

One of the Shanxi merchants came forward flatteringly: "Your Highness, although we are businessmen, we heard that the imperial court is now planning to build a town in the Feihukou area to open mutual trade. This move is a good move to prevent the northern Tatar tribe from invading southward.

I can't go into battle to kill the enemy and kill the Tatars with my own hands, but since I still have a few in my hands, I have been thinking about donating money to contribute to the construction of the city for the imperial court. "

King Jin was actually very pleased to hear that these people were so polite, but he must not let these people feel that the court valued their donation.

And this is also true. After all, Chen Han specially approved 10 million yuan for this project this time, which converted into silver is a full 7 million cars.

In other words, King Jin is already very wealthy and is not short of money at all.

It's nice to have people donating money but it doesn't hurt to have none.

"Why do you have such good intentions? Last time I asked you to contribute money to build a factory, you all resisted. Now that the court has not asked you to donate money, you have taken the initiative. What are your plans?"

King Jin asked.

When the businessmen heard this, they all knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, last time I didn't recognize the good people's hearts and didn't know that it was an opportunity given to us by the imperial court to make contributions. That's why we missed such a good opportunity.

Now if the imperial court thought highly of us, we would be totally pissed off.

These people really weren't lying at all.

They were humiliated last time because they didn't cooperate well.

This time they just went back and forth to make up for it.

King Jin looked at them with clasped ears: "To be honest, the money approved by the imperial court this time is a lot. We can build the city without your donations. If you have the heart, you can go back!"

Unexpectedly, King Jin's words immediately frightened these Shanxi merchants, thinking that he was trying to beat them.

So a Shanxi businessman immediately said: "Your Highness, I was really fooled by lard before. I didn't know that the imperial court gave us such a good opportunity. We missed the opportunity to do something for the imperial court last time. We will definitely not do something for the imperial court this time." We have lost it again. Please give us a chance because of our enthusiasm to serve our country.

There are a total of twenty-two merchants here. Each family has an original investment of 100,000 yuan. We only ask His Highness the King of Jin to forgive us for our previous abruptness for the sake of our loyalty to the country.

From now on, I will do my best under the leadership of the Western Branch. "

All Shanxi merchants expressed their opinions one after another.

They are really scared now.

The reason why he was bleeding so heavily this time was also to ask for forgiveness.

King Jin and the steward looked at each other. The steward was very knowledgeable and stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, for the sake of the sincerity of the officials, please forgive them once. It will be up to them what they can do in the future." How about integrity?”

The Shanxi merchants nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, your highness, what role we can play in the future depends on our specific actions."

"Your Highness, our donation this time is completely sincere and has no false intentions."

"Yes, yes, if your highness, Prince Jin, does not accept our donation this time, we will not be able to sleep even when we go back."

"Your Highness, it is a gift from the imperial court that the money allocated by the imperial court is sufficient. We are paying for it for the sake of our people in Shanxi. We are here to protect our people in Shanxi."

These Shanxi merchants were also very talkative and had high emotional intelligence. In the end, the King of Jin had no choice but to reluctantly say: "Okay, originally there was no chance for you to do good deeds, but since you are so sincere now,

Besides, this is also to ensure that you can do business with peace of mind, so I will accept your donation on behalf of the people in Shanxi. "

The Shanxi merchants finally donated the money, and they had to thank the King of Jin for being willing to accept it. They all kowtowed to express their gratitude.

After waiting for the Shanxi merchants to go out and settle the accounts in Prince Jin's mansion, Prince Jin burst out laughing: "Oh, I didn't expect that my acting skills are so high."

The butler was also nearby and started to praise: "Your Highness, you are really good at talking. I think these Shanxi merchants will not dare to speak out because they are dumb."

King Jin said: "It is up to our husband to deal with these people.

This group of people were so awesome that no one could command them.

It's fine now. I became honest after a few words from my husband.

OK! This time, I got 2.2 million yuan. Yes, I got all the money for a city. "

While he was talking, someone suddenly came to report from outside.

"Your Highness, His Highness King Gu brings Zhao Huaide, the commander-in-chief of the Xuan Mansion, to ask for an audience!"

Upon hearing this, King Jin immediately said: "Let them come in quickly and let them go to the study. I will be there soon."

Ordinary guests go to the living room to receive guests, while really important guests go to the study room.

Besides, they were personally invited by King Jin.

In the study room.

As soon as King Jin entered the study, King Gu immediately stepped forward and said, "Hey, my third brother, I heard that you just deceived a bunch of Shanxi merchants. How much oil and water did you get out of it?"

King Jin laughed: "Not too much, not too much, just over two million strings in total!"

Gu Wang and Zhao Huaide's jaws almost dropped.

"More than two million yuan? Oh my god, third brother, you are so powerful. You actually made so much. These businessmen are too rich, right?"

King Jin smiled and said: "It's not like these people are very rich and it just depends on how they can get the money.

Last time, these guys refused to give me the money to build a factory for training. After my husband cleaned up the Zhang family in Taiyuan some time ago, hey, they are all honest. I don’t know where they got the news. I know we got it. After receiving the approval of the imperial court, a city was about to be built outside the Great Wall, and everyone came to donate money. "

Hahaha……

All three people laughed...
