Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 399 My senior brother, His Highness should know him

"Why should I give you a way to survive?"

"I do have the ability to give you a way to survive, but there are so many beggars taking shelter here, why are you?"

Zhu Xuan looked at the other person and asked.

However, he became somewhat interested in this beggar. Anyone who dared to stand up and ask Zhu Xuan how to survive was very courageous. It might not be that simple, but he might have some support and certain abilities.

I also want to see how the other party convinces me.

"I've read books."

Ji Wenjing said.

"I want to find a scholar. It's easy."

Zhu Xuan rebutted again.

Scholars were very common in Ming Dynasty.

Books are no longer a scarce thing in this era.

"I heard that His Highness is reforming the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes?"

Ji Wenjing said again.

The matter of reforming the Ming Dynasty's treasure banknotes has long been no secret. Within the trading area, transactions with treasure banknotes have gradually begun. It is normal even if beggars know about it.

Besides, the person in front of me is probably not a serious beggar.

Hearing this, Zhu Xuan said: "Yes, I am reforming Baoqian, can you help me reform it?"

"can!"

Ji Wenjing affirmed: "The reform of the Ming Dynasty's treasure banknotes involves more than just money. There are many things that need to be done behind the scenes, and His Highness's current bank in Guangzhou is still missing the most important part."

Cen Hua, who was following Zhu Xuan, heard this and asked curiously: "Do you know what His Highness is missing?"

"We are missing someone useful!"

Ji Wenjing's tone was full of confidence.

His eyes looked directly into Zhu Xuan's. Even facing the descendants of the royal family, he did not appear humble at all, and his figure remained tall and tall.

Maybe he was a little hungry, so he didn't have much strength, and his voice was flat, but in addition to confidence, there was also a kind of arrogance in his voice, as if he dared to stop Zhu Xuan and recommend the source of his own background.

Seeing Ji Wenjing's changes and performance from the beginning to now, Zhu Xuan was wondering what this person wanted to do.

Is it really a self-recommendation, seeking a way to survive, or is there some other purpose?
  Zhu Xuan offended many people, the most troublesome among them was the White Lotus Sect.

You need to worry about whether the person in front of you is a flag that the White Lotus Sect is trying to plant around you.

"Your Highness is surrounded by talented people."

"We are not short of people."

Cen Hua retorted.

However, she and Zhu Xuan were surprised when they heard Ji Wenjing say there was a shortage of people.

Their bank really lacks a person with management skills.

Zhu Xuan mentioned to Cen Hua more than once that he wanted to find someone for the bank.

This person can actually see it?
  "There are many talented people around His Highness, but those people are not suitable for managing a bank."

"Cen Jing and Wu Yongfeng in the trading port are suitable for doing business and managing the chamber of commerce, but letting them manage money is not suitable for one thing, and His Highness is worried for the other."

"Businessmen value profits. Faced with so much money, few people can restrain their restless hearts."

Ji Wenjing analyzed and said.

Hearing that he looked down upon her elder brother so much, Cen Hua pouted, a little unhappy.

But I don’t deny that what this person said makes sense.

It comes to Zhu Xuan’s heart.

"Jin Yiwei and others are not capable of managing the bank."

"Mei Yin and the others can do it, but they need to stay in Annan." "Guo Ze is more suitable for the factory."

"Master Xu and the others are local officials. They are already involved in government affairs and cannot manage the bank."

"As officials, they may be as greedy as businessmen when faced with money from banks, which is one of the reasons why His Highness is uneasy."

"As for the eunuchs who follow His Highness, they are also inappropriate. They have lost their lust, but their greed is still there. Eunuchs are generally more greedy for money."

"Besides, if we take them away, His Highness will have no one to serve him, and no one will be responsible for overseas trade."

"Excuse me, Your Highness, am I right?"

Ji Wenjing made a complete analysis of the people Zhu Xuan brought with him.

The content of the analysis is completely fine.

Zhu Xuan narrowed his eyes. This person knew the people around him so well.

Even if he understood it, he still dared to say it directly.

Zhu Xuan gave Jin Yiwei and the others a look.

Yan Guan led two royal guards and stood behind Ji Wenjing, with his embroidered spring knife slightly unsheathed, waiting for Zhu Xuan's order to capture him at any time.

Hou Xian saw this and stood in front of Zhu Xuan.

This guy dared to belittle their eunuchs, and Hou Xian was very unhappy now.

If he wants to take action, he will not hesitate.

Zhu Xuan protected Cen Hua behind him and then looked at Ji Wenjing.

Ji Wenjing still straightened his back, not feeling at all about being surrounded, as if he was ready to die.

A strong wind of level 4 or 5 blew against his body, making the beggar's clothes rustle.

His bun was blown out, and his dirty black hair was flying around, but he continued to stand upright, as if he could withstand the typhoon with his body.

Zhu Xuan couldn't understand more and more what this man wanted.

In his memory, from the early Ming Dynasty to the Yongle period, there was no relevant record of Ji Wenjing, a special person.

To be sure, Ji Wenjing is not a historical figure.

But if a person like him really has character, ability, and such a positive attitude, he shouldn't be unknown in the history books. Maybe it's because he is originally unknown, but he is just an ordinary person. A person, or a hermit who lives incognito.

Thinking a lot quickly in his mind, Zhu Xuan slowly said: "Do you know the people around me very well?"

He was wary of Ji Wenjing.

"His Royal Highness has been in Guangzhou for more than a year. It is easy to find out who is around and what they are responsible for. It is easy to find out clearly by simply asking."

Ji Wenjing continued: "I took the initiative to stand up. I have no ill intentions toward His Highness. I really just want a chance to survive. In order to repay His Highness for giving me this opportunity, I am willing to do my best to manage the bank for Your Highness."

After a pause, he added: "I just said that His Highness's bank is short of people."

"I'm sure that the person missing is me!"

He also knows the bank very well and speaks with great confidence.

He also knew that Zhu Xuan needed someone who had nothing to do with the trading port or the government to be in charge of the bank.

The interests of businessmen and the money in the bank must be separated.

"You're confident."

Zhu Xuan did not let the Jin Yiwei retreat, and remained vigilant. He looked at Ji Wenjing for a moment, without seeing the slightest flinch in the other's eyes, and said, "Do you think I should believe you?"

"should!"

Ji Wenjing continued: "I am not a beggar originally, but I just calculated that there will be a catastrophe in my life. After the catastrophe, there will be life, and the life is in the south, so I came here to be a beggar. Master Xi Yingzhen, Your Highness may not have listened. I have said it before, but I have a senior brother, and His Highness must know who he is."

Xi Yingzhen?
  This name is a bit familiar to Zhu Xuan.

He must have heard of it, but when he was suddenly asked, he couldn't remember who Xi Yingzhen was. After thinking hard for a moment, he asked, "Who is your senior brother?"
