Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

The next day in Lu Mansion

Liu Xiu left Lu Mansion overnight with more than [-] pirates, and none of the Lu family's guests, who were heavily guarded, noticed.

Lu Yonghui walked up to Lu Yong and said with a smile, "Father, this group of pirates is almost subdued in one meal. Now you can take away seventy percent of them with just a word now. When the time comes, Liu Jingwei's face will look like this." But it doesn't look good!"

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Thinking of Liu Xiu's deflated appearance, Lu Yonghui laughed extremely happily.

"It's a bit deep!" Lu Yong said to Lu Yonghui, but his face was full of complacency, "What are these pirates?! The important thing is Song Zan! As long as Song Zan can be taken down! Let someone take this You can give him the mansion!"

Lu Yonghui suppressed his smile and said respectfully, "Yes."

Lu Yong nodded, and led Lu Yonghui and the two towards the back hall of yesterday's banquet.

Before the people arrived, a bloody smell came over us!

Lu Yong's face changed drastically, and he quickly pushed the door open, only to see that the blood in the hall was about three inches thick!

Countless human heads and bodies were randomly thrown on the ground!

"Ouch!" Lu Yonghui vomited out immediately.

Lu Yong resisted the soreness in his stomach, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! You boy! You're going to plot against me to death! Fuck!!!"

.........

Liu Xiu brought more than [-] pirates directly to the porridge point, and the government soldiers looked sideways. They could feel the bloody aura on the refugees in front of them far surpassing them.

Where did Lord Liu get this group of people?

Involuntarily, the government soldiers' respect for Liu Xiu deepened a bit.

Ma Sanbao is still young, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions in doing big things, but he can basically do the small things that Liu Xiu entrusts to him, every detail,

Even Liu Xiu didn't notice some places, but Ma Sanbao could notice them keenly.

The orderly arrangement of the refugees in front of them must be due to Ma Sanbao!

"Good job!" Liu Xiu patted Ma Sanbao on the shoulder, Ma Sanbao smiled and said shyly,

"Don't let the master be distracted by these trivial matters."

Regarding the group of people brought back by Liu Xiu, Ma Sanbao did not take the initiative to ask questions. He knew what to ask and what not to ask.

Mrs. Li was amazed that Liu Xiu had recruited so many refugees and managed so many people's food.

What is he going to do? !

"master…"

Liu Xiu looked over, "What's wrong?"

After experiencing the PUA last night, Mrs. Li has been obedient to Liu Xiu,

Although the appearance is not good enough for Yujie, but in front of Liu Xiu at this moment, like a little girl who is afraid of offending Liu Xiu,

"Master, this concubine is a group of people, what should I do. Just ask the master..."

Liu Xiu said without hesitation, "I'll find you a place to live first. You rest for half a day. After waking up, go to eat. After you're full, bring everyone here at [-]:[-] noon."

Although Liu Xiu was very eager to let this group of people rush to repair the dam, even pirates are human beings. They suffered a double blow to their bodies and minds last night, so they still need to slow down.

Moreover, for the superior, it is very important to give both grace and power.

Sure enough, Liu Xiu's words made the pirates look grateful, and even the shadow of killing their companions by themselves was diluted a lot.

After entrusting this matter to Xia Yuanji, Liu Xiu sighed, feeling exhausted all over his body,

"Sir, let's go to rest too."

Song Zan nodded, Liu Xiu's body is very resistant to tossing, and Song Zan, who has experienced so much, is so tired that he can't open his eyes.

The two leaned against the path behind the porridge shed, sat on the ground, and after a while, snored.

Ma Sanbao summoned the soldiers for two blankets, and carefully covered Liu Xiu's body.

King Wu's Mansion in Hangzhou

Shen Wansan walked into the fifth room with the decoction prepared by the pharmacist,

"Your Highness..."

"Cough, cough, cough," Lao Wu got up, and Shen Wansan hurriedly stepped forward to support Lao Wu. After coughing a few times, Lao Wu's face looked a lot better, at least a little rosy.

"Old Shen, how are the discussions going on with those companies?"

Shen Wansan looked downcast, shook his head and said, "No, I'm in a hurry now, the master sent a letter saying that the situation in Anqing Mansion is very bad, and the supplies from my side must be transported as quickly as possible! They are as smart as monkeys that have lost their hair, and they are waiting to suppress the price of food, so they are not willing to sell it to me."

Hearing this, Lao Wu coughed violently again. Lao Wu also knew about Liu Xiu's situation in Anqing Mansion. He didn't expect the Lu family to be so rampant.

However, even if the fifth child is the vassal king of Wu, there is nothing he can do about the Lu family.

After all, behind the Lu family is the crown princess, and behind the crown princess is the elder brother,

Before knowing what the eldest brother thinks, the fifth child dare not make his own opinion.

Moreover, even though he is a real brother, he is sensitive to his position, so it is not easy to get off the ground, so it is safest to leave this matter to Liu Xiu.

Lao Wu was so anxious that the supplies Liu Xiu needed could not be delivered in time.

It's not that there is no money, but that the merchants in Wudi don't sell.

The land of Wu is a land of huge profits, rich in resources, and well-developed transportation. There are many big businessmen from all over the world here, and the merchants from Huizhou and Shanxi are the most prosperous!

Merchants from Anhui and Shanxi took off directly from the Ming Dynasty until the Qing Dynasty.

The nobles of the Yuan Dynasty relied on Central Asian merchants, and the Han merchants were suppressed. However, the status of the Han people rose during the Ming Dynasty, which gave the Han merchants a stage to take off.

Coupled with the fact that Huizhou and Shanxi have less arable land and a large population, poor people want to change. Countless farmers without arable land turned to commercial roads, and the people of the two places are united tightly.

Therefore, most of the salt, tea, and four treasures of the study business in the world are in the hands of Huizhou and Shanxi merchants.

Of course, after the strong rise of Liu Xiu's salt industry, it took away the great profits of Huizhou merchants and Shanxi merchants.

They are full of hostility towards the Liu family, and when the Liu family asks them to buy food, it is naturally impossible for them to help.

In addition, this group of businessmen also knew that it was water season again in Wudi,

There will be a disaster in the water season, and the disaster will be a food shortage, and at that time, the food they hoard will be sold at sky-high prices!

Due to emotion and reason, it is impossible to sell the grain to Shen Wansan, even though Shen Wansan offered a price that was [-]% higher than the market price,

Shen Wansan gritted his teeth, and said bitterly, "Your Highness, if it doesn't work, I'll increase the price by [-]%! This time I'll admit it, the most important thing is to send the food to the master first!"

Lao Wu got up and shook his head, saying, "This king is going to meet them, you can send them here."

"It's your body, Your Highness!"

"No problem. You go."

Shen Wansan nodded and stepped back.

The fifth child sighed again, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to come forward,

Can Anhui merchants and Shanxi merchants sell his face?

Chapter 230

In less than half an hour, the well-known merchants from the entire Hangzhou mansion gathered in Wu Wang's mansion.

In the Hongwu Dynasty, merchants were still extremely respectful to the officials on the surface, not to mention the summoning of the vassal king,

However, looking at the faces of these big businessmen, there is obviously a little cloud,

They knew that King Wu was here to arrange matters for the Liu family!

The strong rise of the Liu family has embezzled a lot of their profits. In just a few months, the profits of the Anhui merchants who started their business in the salt industry have dropped by [-]%.

And it is still decreasing!

What is this concept? !

Not to mention that even a bite of cake could not be served, the Liu family just took the plate away!

It's enough that this group of businessmen didn't raise money to assassinate the Liu family. However, all other tricks have been used.

Businessmen from Huizhou and Shanxi glanced at each other, and reached a consensus with just one look.

No matter what King Wu said, they didn't nod!

This wave must be carried down!

Otherwise, all business in Wudi will belong to the Liu family in the future!

The Yang family, a large family of Huizhou merchants, started with tea.

The Patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Jin, is about fifty years old, with scorching eyes, and looks like he can't listen to what others say. He is also the representative of the entire Huizhou merchants.

Seeing Yang Jin salute respectfully, he opened his mouth and said,

"Your Highness, I don't know why you called the grassroots here? If Your Highness needs anything, the grassroots will definitely help you!"

The old five was overjoyed, but he sneered in his heart, "This king is asking you, the great merchants of the Wu land, today."

Yang Jin and Shan Feiyue, the representative of Shanxi Merchants, looked at each other very quickly, and they both bowed down together, and all the Huizhou and Shanxi merchants behind them also bowed down and saluted.

"Your Highness, please speak!"

The fifth child pretended to be distressed, but still said, "This king wants to buy some grain with you."

Yang Jin stood up and said in panic, "Why did your highness say that? Your highness is short of food, so he just asked, and he bought it from the villain like me. Isn't this a shame for the villain?"

After finishing speaking, before Lao Wu could speak, Yang Jin turned around and said to the crowd, "We are in the land of Wu, so naturally we can relieve your worries. My Yang family is willing to donate five hundred shi of grain!"

Shan Feiyue, the representative of Shanxi Merchants, twirled his mustache, and quickly responded, "My Shan family also offered five hundred shi!"

"My Dong family paid three hundred!"

"I'll pay three hundred!"

"..."
