King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 72 Why do you only see money?
  After Zhu Tan ordered Cao Wenlong to stand up, he said calmly: "Why do you come to see me?"

Is your dignified prince able to meet me, a businessman, just because I said I could help you solve the profit problem of Changlu Salt Farm?
  Now he still asks questions knowingly, this young prince is quite interesting!
  Cao Wenlong couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

But he laughed dryly and said: "The grassroots said that they are willing to share the worries of the prince and want to help the prince solve the profit problem of Changlu Salt Farm!"

Zhu Tan sneered in his heart.

This guy's trick to help him is nothing more than to buy it at a low price and sell it nationwide!

As a modern person, if you don’t even have this kind of business acumen, don’t go into the mall.

But he pretended to be interested and asked: "How to solve it?"

Cao Wenlong said: "The common people are willing to help the prince sell the salt from the Changlu Salt Factory across the country! As long as the national market is filled with salt from the Changlu Salt Factory, profits will be just around the corner! The prince pays the court 100 million taels of silver every year, and there is still more than enough!"

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "So? That is indeed a good thing! Let's settle it like this! Is there anything else? It's okay, just step back. Regarding cooperation, we will talk to my subordinates later!"

Hearing this, Cao Wenlong was stunned on the spot!
  Is this King Lu a fool?
  Is there anyone in the world who can help you for free? You didn't even ask about the conditions?

However, this is also in line with the image of these princes in Cao Wenlong's mind.

They are not diligent in their four bodies, they do not distinguish between grains, and they do not understand the ways of the world. At the same time, they do not understand the shrewd calculations of businessmen like them.

This way it's easier to control.

Cao Wenlong couldn't help but think to himself.

Cao Wenlong smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, although I can help you sell the salt from the Changlu Salt Farm, the price cannot be according to the price given by the Imperial Salt Company. Otherwise, the freight expenses across the country will be very huge, and the cost will be huge." The villain cannot bear it."

Zhu Tan looked at Cao Wenlong, frowned and said, "In that case, you can just deduct the shipping fee yourself!"

Do we work for you for free?

Why do you, Mr. Zhu, like to call people for nothing?

Cao Wenlong complained in his heart and said cautiously: "Your Highness, the little people also need to eat. Look, do you give some money to the little people in the purchase price! In this case, everyone will benefit!"

Beside Zhu Tan.

Prince Palace Chief Shi Yinshao frowned.

He couldn't help but remind him loudly: "Your Highness! These merchants can't afford to leave early without profit! They clearly want to take advantage of this opportunity to make profits! Don't let him scheme against you!"

When Zhu Tan heard Yin Shao's words, he immediately became energetic and shouted: "Huh? Cao Wenlong, so you want to benefit from this king?

Cao Wenlong looked at Zhu Tan with disbelief on his face.

Master, did you just see it?
  Then he laughed dryly and nodded, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Zhu Tan immediately shouted loudly.

"Bold Cao Wenlong! How dare you scheme against me?"

Cao Wenlong was shocked when he heard this.

Is this Prince Lu a dog?

How do you say you fall out when you fall out?

In fact.
  It really is!
  Zhu Tan was born in the third year of Hongwu, so she was born in the year of Dog.

Cao Wenlong complained repeatedly: "Your Highness! What do you say? Even if you borrow a hundred courage from the villain, the villain will not dare to plot against you!"

Zhu Tan sneered.

"I kindly gave you the opportunity to serve me, but you dare to ask for benefits! And you said you weren't plotting against me?"

Cao Wenlong heard this.

His eyes suddenly widened.

Under the sun.

Is there any royal law?
  Is there any Da Ming Law?

Come and listen!

What did Prince Lu say?

We are all discussing business, wouldn’t it be reasonable for me to share some of the benefits?

How come I'm plotting against you?

Cao Wenlong said helplessly: "Your Highness! This little guy is here to help His Highness! This Changlu Salt Farm can only sell more than 100 million taels of salt a year! There is no way it can complete the next task of the court! Xiao But people can help His Highness complete it! This naturally comes at a cost." Zhu Tan slapped the table.

"You businessmen! Why do you only care about money?
  Don't always think about getting something from me!
  You should think more about what you can do for me!
  As a businessman, if you don't think about progress and only care about monetary interests, and only have money, money, money in your eyes, how far can you go?

I have given you a platform to serve me, but you still want money? Is this your attitude when you come to help me?

This is simply unreasonable!
  This king is so angry! "

Next to Zhu Tan, Yin Shao nodded in sympathy.

"That's right! Why doesn't His Highness see anyone else but you, Cao Wenlong? You never thought that His Highness has high expectations for you!

Now what you are doing is worthy of Your Highness? "

Zhu Tan looked at Yin Shao next to him, feeling a little confused.

Have you been brainwashed by yourself?

Then he slapped the table and said, "That's right! Are you worthy of me?"

The words of Zhu Tan and Yin Shao left Cao Wenlong speechless and stunned for a moment!
  Why do what they say sound so much like what he said to his subordinates?

Are you stunned?
  Even if I, a Shanxi merchant, cooperated with the Ming Dynasty, we would still share the benefits!

Now you, Prince Lu, actually want to do things in vain, and even blame me for benefits?
  Which merchant does business just to do things for you for free?
  Stop talking about us businessmen!

Even if you are a clerk in a salt store, if you do more work when it is time to close the store, you will still be paid more!
  In this world, are there still people who work a lot but only receive a share of money?

Cao Wenlong thought in his heart.

While smiling bitterly.

There is no need to talk about this cooperation!

With regret in his heart, Cao Wenlong sighed and said: "Since His Highness said so, the common people have nothing to say! The common people will leave first!"

When Zhu Tan heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Cao Wenlong! Did you come here to entertain me? You said you could solve the problem, but you can't solve it now!

Do you think this king is easy to bully?
  Someone come! Drag Cao Wenlong down and hit 40 big boards! "

When Cao Wenlong heard this, he was almost angry to death!
  You obviously came to discuss cooperation with good intentions, why did you become my entertainment?

It's obvious that you are stubborn and still want me to work for you in vain! It makes no sense!
  Are you still beating people now?

So arrogant, domineering and unscrupulous!
  Do you think this world belongs to your family?

Subsequently.

Cao Wenlong reacted.

It seems that the world really belongs to them.
  Zhu Tan's voice fell.

Two palace guards walked out from the left and right, grabbed Cao Wenlong and dragged him down!
  Cao Wenlong was immediately frightened and screamed repeatedly!

"Your Highness! Your Highness, please spare your life, Your Highness."

If the forty big boards were solid, his life would be lost!
  Yin Shao had a sneer on his face and said: "Your Highness! This kind of merchant deserves to be skinned and cramped!"

Zhu Tan looked at Yin Shao.

"Why is the sentence reduced for 80,000 taels of silver? Will this king see it for just 80,000 taels?"

Yin Shao looked at Zhu Tan with confusion on his face.

When did you say eighty thousand taels of silver?

Haven't spoken yet.

the other side.

Cao Wenlong hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness! The common people are willing to donate 10 taels of silver!"

Yin Shaoleng said: "Your Highness, did you hear wrongly? I didn't say money."

Zhu Tan said angrily: "What? You want cat's-eye diamonds? Yin Shao, your idea is very dangerous!"
