Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Latest website:

What was originally an easy task took these merchants more than an hour.

It was obviously the twelfth lunar month of winter, but they were all sweating profusely, as if they had just finished fighting.

When the last wealthy businessman raised his hand, Zhou Chen immediately ordered it to be taken away, and the tasting ended.

As soon as the auction ended, the merchants immediately gathered together in groups of two and a half, asking round and round about the bids of others around them.

For example, Wang Wenxian found his Shanxi merchant partners and tried to confirm whether there was anything wrong with his bid.

However, at this moment, partners who originally trusted each other, or were colleagues in the same geographical business country, no longer had the closeness they had in the past.

Everywhere they talked to each other was filled with a strong sense of vigilance, questioning, and defensiveness.

After all, these people are all out-and-out businessmen, the outstanding ones among the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty!

They are not good men and women, their shrewd minds are full of intrigues and schemes!

No one can guarantee that under the premise that such secret filming is not made public, once the opportunity arises, the former close friends will suddenly have such a knife on their backs.

After all, this sword strike represents a huge amount of benefits, a mountain of gold and silver!

At this time, if you still hold on to those false trusts and promises in the past, such people are either stupid or stupid.

It's a pity that everyone is useless, and the result is that the insinuating test has no meaning at all.

Only when the bidding results are announced can they confirm the final result.

In the private room on the second floor, Zhu Gaoxu was leaning on a chair without any image, taking a sip of hot tea from time to time.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Zhou Chen walked in holding a pile of quotation papers.

Your Majesty, my lords, the auction has ended, and all the offers from wealthy businessmen are here.

Well...you've worked hard. Please sit down and rest for a while.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded with a smile and was very optimistic about Zhou Chen.

This boy was still very young, but he had traveled to various places to build new salt fields, and he had become much calmer after the experience.

In Lao Xia Tou's words, Zhou Chen is his future successor.

Xia Yuanji, a famous minister of his generation, was also very optimistic about Zhou Chen.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Xia Yuanji.

Little old men, you can start working.

Although the auction is over, their work has just begun.

When it comes to national matters such as the salt tax, Xia Yuanji and other court officials knew that they must not take it lightly.

They first looked at places such as Southern Zhili, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, as well as Huguang, Fujian, Shandong, and Shanxi.

Needless to say, Southern Zhili, the important place in Gyeonggi Province and now the economic center of Ming Dynasty, also has the highest quotation among all state capitals.

Next is the land of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, which has a large population and a prosperous economy. It is also a place of great wealth in the Ming Dynasty.

Jiangxi, Huguang, Fujian, Shandong and other places are all provinces with large populations.

In the Ming Dynasty, population meant everything.

And for salt merchants, the larger the local population, the higher the demand for salt, and the more they earn.

Therefore, if you want to become an agent in these places, the bid must be extremely high.

The original plan of the merchants to sign up for a group to keep warm was aborted by Zhu Gaoxu's secret move. This resulted in the merchants having to bid as much as possible in order to win the bidding site of their choice to avoid mishaps.

Of course, there are also some places with relatively small populations, such as Beizhili, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places, which have relatively small populations.

In these places with a population of less than one million, the number of fights caused by secret shootings will be greatly reduced, and agency fees will be lower. There is no way around this.

After half an hour of carefully checking the statistics, the final results were finally released.

Xia Yuanji was the first to speak: Your Highness, the highest bidder should be the agent of Yangzhou Prefecture. Wang Fuguang bid thirteen million taels of silver, making him the highest bidder among many bidders!

More than thirteen million taels? He bid alone? Not the Shangbang Business Group?

Xia Yuanji nodded, frowning tightly.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little shocked. Is this Wang Fuguang so rich?

One person, more than thirteen million taels!

Damn, this is no longer a big dog, this is a rich man!

Zhou Chen added in due course: Your Majesty, Wang Fuguang is from Xiuning, Huizhou, and has been selling salt in the Lianghuai Salt Farm.

This man can be said to be the best salt merchant in the Huaihe River. He has thousands of ships and leads his children in trade. He chooses people at the right time, raises opportunities first, and accumulates huge amounts of money...

Hiss...this guy is a talent!

Starting from a small salt dealer, he became a Lianghuai salt merchant giant step by step!

In fact, Yangzhou itself does not produce salt. Because it is close to the Lianghuai Salt Fields, a large number of merchants have emerged to resell salt.

They are an important channel for the Lianghuai Salt Farm to sell salt to all parts of the country. Salt ships usually depart from the Huaihe River, enter the ancient canal and then to the Yangtze River, covering the entire Yangtze River Basin.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Yangzhou relied on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to become the core hub of national water transportation and developed into the most prosperous city in the country. It was known as Yangzhou is the most prosperous city in the world.

By the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 100 large-scale salt merchants in Yangzhou, and Yangzhou became one of the most prosperous cities in the world.

As you can imagine, the competition for agents in Yangzhou is extremely fierce.

Wang Fuguang is also a figure. He directly spent more than 13 million taels of money and paid back the whole amount. At a glance, it was his entire net worth!

In this case, the Yangzhou agent is Wang Fuguang, and I am very optimistic about him!

Zhu Gaoxu made a direct decision and appointed Wang Fuguang as the Yangzhou agent.

Not only can this person make money, but he is also courageous and far-sighted, and is a good talent.

Xia Yuanji spoke again: Prince Han, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net After Yangzhou Prefecture, the place with the highest bid and fiercest competition is Yingtian Prefecture. The highest bidder, Wang Wenxian, bid 10 million to 1 million taels of silver!

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused.

Wang Wenxian, isn’t this guy a Shanxi merchant?

If he didn't go to rob the state capitals in his hometown in Shanxi, why did he come to rob Yingtian Mansion?

This guy has a huge appetite!

Yingtian Mansion was the seat of the imperial capital, with numerous merchants and people flowing in. It was the economic center of the Ming Dynasty!

Having become the agent of Yingtian Mansion, Wang Wenxian has more than just the salt of Yingtian Mansion!

interesting!

How interesting!

Based on the highest price, how much silver is the total?

Ordinary state agency fees range from five million to nine million, totaling 150 million taels of silver!

Hearing this somewhat awkward number, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly raised his eyebrows, but Xia Yuanji and others were already stunned!

Fifteen million taels of silver!

That is ten million taels of silver, plus fifty million taels of silver.

One hundred and fifty million taels of silver!

What is this concept?

Xia Yuanji has lived his whole life and has been the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs for more than ten years. He has never seen so much money in the treasury!

And this is only the first day of the tasting!

There are also many businessmen who were taken advantage of and came with money!

money?

Will the court still be short of money from now on?

No shortage!

There will never be any shortage again!

With this new salt law, the imperial court is the largest salt merchant and will never be short of money!

Thinking about it, Xia Yuanji's vision suddenly went dark and he passed out.

Hey, old Xia Tou, what's wrong with you?

Master Xia? Quickly announce the imperial doctor!

Quick, Mr. Xia was so excited that he rushed over!

If you don't save people, I'll kill you!
