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

Chapter 516
  In fact, the businessmen present were more worried about Zhu Xuan's machines.

The machine that does not require manpower can produce silk many times faster than them. Now it recruits so many weavers. If it can continue to develop, it will really cut off their financial resources.

Now that Zhu Xuan is willing to decentralize the machine or even sell it to them, many people are surprised.

The businessmen present only wanted to make a profit and never thought they could get the machine. This was an unexpected surprise.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, are you serious?"

someone asked immediately.

This is not just about distributing the machines, but also allowing them to pay for the goods on credit. Once they make money, they can pay for the goods. This is simply an extremely preferential treatment.

Businessmen increasingly feel that the little emperor's grandson is actually really good.

It was better than they imagined. They were blind before they went to complain.

Zhu Xuan explained: "I don't need to lie to you. Of course it's true. I followed the emperor's order to help you make money from trade. I'm really not competing with the people for profit! Before, I only considered Guangzhou. It was indeed my fault. Now I want to correct this mistake."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The businessman who asked the question immediately shouted.

Seeing this, other businessmen stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

This is not to compete with the people, but to benefit the people. They found that they had wrongly blamed Zhu Xuan before.

"The first batch of machines will be delivered to Suzhou within the next few days, but I don't know how many you need. There won't be many delivered this time."

"After the meeting, you can register with us and reserve how many machines you need based on your abilities and strengths."

"When all the machines are delivered, we will arrange training for you to teach you how to use them."

"Please rest assured!"

"As for whether you want to join the association or whether you want to invest in it, you can make your own decision."

"I will set up the second foreign trade port of the Ming Dynasty in Songjiang Prefecture. In about half a month, I will guide foreign businessmen to trade in Songjiang Prefecture. All the inventories at your home are ready."

"However, when you trade in my trading port, you have to pay taxes, and there are quite a lot of taxes."

"If smuggling is discovered, seize the cargo ship, arrest the relevant people, and collect fines!"

Zhu Xuan continued.

The last few words warning about smuggling were said with murderous intent.

They have no doubt at all about Zhu Xuan's ability to catch smugglers. Now the Ming Navy is getting stronger and stronger. When those steel warships appear on the sea, many foreign businessmen are so afraid that their legs are weak.

I would rather pay more taxes than smuggle.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Everyone shouted again.

Zhu Xuan explained other matters and then announced that the meeting was over and asked them to go to Cen Jing to register the required machines.

Don’t worry, the emergence of machines will cause many workers to lose their jobs.

Zhu Xuan accepted all the unemployed workers.

In addition to the expansion of the garment factory, which requires more workers, Zhu Xuan also plans to create some higher-end clothing brands and silks.

These high-end brands only accept private customization. They are all handmade without any machine components. They are not produced on an assembly line. Their consumer groups are Western aristocrats.

Then a certain amount of skilled labor is needed.

At that time, let Zheng He properly hype the Ming Suez Company, just like hyping cosmetics, forming a symbol of identity and status.

There should be quite a few people who want it.

Zhu Xuan need not worry, idle labor will lead to social chaos.

Because the labor force simply cannot be idle.

If they are really idle, give them a piece of land and a lot of potato and sweet potato seeds to cultivate.

The potatoes produced in Suzhou Prefecture are enough for the people in the entire Jiangnan region.

Seeing the excitement at the meeting and the enthusiasm of other businessmen and friends around him for the three things Zhu Xuan said at the meeting, Shen Bin felt mixed emotions.

"Why...why is this?"

Shen Bin asked himself helplessly.

In fact, he shouldn't have gone against Zhu Xuan from the beginning, but he didn't realize this reality. It's too late to regret it now.

Other businessmen left one after another.

Shen Bin also wanted to leave, but at this moment a voice called him down. “Head of the Shen family, come here.”

The person calling was Hou Xian, so he stopped him directly.

Shen Bin: "..."

Could it be that the little emperor's grandson refused to let him go and wanted to take away the punishment, just like Emperor Zhu did to his grandfather Shen Wansan?

"What's the matter?"

Shen Bin asked cautiously.

Hou Xian said: "If you are asked to come, just come."

After saying that, he walked ahead.

Shen Bin had to follow behind.

When other businessmen saw this, they felt that Shen Bin was dead, and they mourned for him in their hearts.

Arriving at a room behind the venue, Zhu Xuan had already made tea.

"Master Shen, sit down!"

Hearing that he could sit down, Shen Bin breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down slowly as if he wasn't looking for responsibility.

Hou Xian also gave him a cup of tea.

"Don't dare...don't dare..."

How dare Shen Bin ask Zhu Xuan's people to pour him tea, so he quickly took it.

Even though he used commercial means to oppose Zhu Xuan before, he was so excited. In fact, he is indeed a timid person.

Facing Zhu Xuan sitting in front of him, he didn't even dare to breathe too hard, poured down the tea, and sat carefully in front of Zhu Xuan.

"Head of the Shen family has done a lot recently!" Zhu Xuan said calmly.

"Damn the grasshoppers!"

When Shen Bin heard this, he immediately stood up and knelt down.

Zhu Xuan motioned for him to continue sitting, and then said: "I just mentioned casually, Master Shen, don't be nervous. I called you here alone. Do you want to cooperate with you?"

Cooperation?

Shen Bin doesn't quite understand. Doesn't this mean he should be held accountable?

Zhu Xuan continued: "For my business in the Jiangnan area, I plan to give the Shen family half a share of the shares. I will not stay in Jiangnan forever, so I need the Shen family to help take care of this part of the business. In addition...the trading port in Songjiang Prefecture, I plan to take responsibility for the Shen family head, do you think you are qualified?"

"what?"

Shen Bin thought he hadn't woken up yet or was daydreaming.

He was so opposed to Zhu Xuan that not only was he not held accountable and punished, but he was also trusted and even managed the trading port for himself.

This can't be true.

Shen Bin reached out and pinched his thigh hard.

hiss……

painful.

It's not a dream, then it's real.

Shen Bin's eyes widened and he was shocked for a while, then asked in disbelief: "Your Highness...are you serious?"

Zhu Xuan nodded.

Of course you are serious. You need to find a general agent in the Jiangnan area to help you handle everything else.

You can't have no arrangements at all.

Of course, in addition to Shen Bin as the general agent, Zhu Xuan will also put many people in as supervisors to check each other and prevent other unfriendly things from happening.

"Are you still unwilling?"

Zhu Xuan asked calmly.

"Yes, the grassroots are willing."

Shen Bin responded quickly, then knelt down and kowtowed solemnly: "Thank you so much for your highness, the common people, and thank you so much for your highness's willingness to let the common people do what they do wrong."
