Prince of Chaos

Chapter 382 The Kingdom of Dry City, British Duke

A strong and financially strong firm?
Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, and Wang Jiaping suddenly had a big question mark in their minds.

At the same time, they also vaguely guessed a big business name!

A firm with golden light!
Isn't the most powerful and financially powerful in the capital the Xishan Commercial Bank under the Xishan Huangzhuang under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Apart from this big company, it seems that there is no other company in Beijing that is strong enough to guarantee many maritime ships.

The three of them thought about it silently, then lowered their heads and exchanged opinions with each other's eyes.

After the three of them agreed, Wang Jiaping, as the representative who started the conversation, said, "Your Highness is wise, and I agree with His Highness."

When Zhu Changluo heard that the three agreed with his opinion of borrowing the ship with a business name, Zhu Changluo immediately beamed with joy, grinned and said, "Thank you three gentlemen for your support."

Looking at Zhu Changluo's inexplicable smile, the three of them immediately had a bad premonition again.

However, now that the words have been spoken, it is irreversible.

The three of them could only wait and watch, watching Zhu Changluo's performance.

I hope His Royal Highness will keep his word. With the strength of Xishan Huangzhuang to guarantee some ships of the sea merchants, it is more than enough.

After the three of them confirmed the matter with Shen Shixing, Zhu Changluo let them kneel down.

Then, Zhu Changluo was not idle either, he immediately ordered Wei Zhongxian.

"Go and get British Gong and Sun Xian, I have nothing to tell them."

After Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Changluo's arrangement, he immediately replied: "Yes."

Then he sent someone to find Ying Gong and Sun Xian.

Zhu Changluo, who was in the Ciqing Palace at this time, was really in a good mood.

He really didn't expect Wang Jiaping to be so easy to use, and he gave him such a good idea when he was frowning.

Borrow a boat!

It's good to borrow a boat.

Borrowing a boat is much better than renting a boat.

The borrowed ship does not require the court to be responsible, which saves the court from worrying about the future. It is simply a stroke of genius.

In a short time, Ying Gong and Sun Siam arrived at Ciqing Palace together.

Wei Zhongxian greeted them in front of the palace gate, but the two didn't hold back.

After seeing Wei Zhongxian, he also asked very politely: "Hello, Eunuch Wei."

And Wei Zhongxian didn't take it too seriously, he greeted Ying Gong and Sun Xian with a very low posture.

Then, under the leadership of Wei Zhongxian, the two arrived at the Ciqing Palace.

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian can be treated as an equal in front of nobles like Duke Ying and eunuchs like Sun Xian.

It can be seen how stable Wei Zhongxian's position in the Forbidden City is now.

From this, it can also be seen how respected Zhu Changluo's status is in the Forbidden City.

Otherwise, how could the eunuchs around him receive such courteous treatment?
The three of them entered the Ciqing Palace with friendly smiles, and Wei Zhongxian walked silently to wait on him.

The British Duke and Sun Xian saluted and said: "The minister (slave) sees your highness (master)."

Zhu Changluo looked at the two of them, and said, "Get up."

Then Zhu Changluo said again: "Give a seat to the British Duke."

After Zhang Weixian heard the offer of the seat, he said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Then, he sat down carefully.

Sun Xian stood aside.

Zhu Changluo said: "The orphan came to you today because I have something to tell you."

Zhu Changluo straight to the point and said what he meant.

Zhang Weixian and Sun Xian replied: "Your Highness (Master), please give me instructions."

Zhu Changluo said: "Gu and the cabinet have already discussed. According to the needs of North Korean Prime Minister Xing Jie, the imperial court decided to recruit sailors to fight in North Korea to help Xing Jie ease the pressure on the Korean battlefield. There was nowhere to go. Therefore, Gu adopted the cabinet's suggestion to Gu and decided to borrow a boat!"

"Gu intends to borrow a merchant's ship as a navy ship, and then go to the Korean waters to fight against Japanese pirate sailors. Therefore, Gu Jin'er asked you to come here to let you get this job done."

After Zhang Weixian and Sun Xian heard Zhu Changluo's words, they replied: "The minister (slave) leads the order."

Then, Zhang Weixian first asked: "How many ships does Your Highness plan to borrow?"

Zhu Changluo said: "Naturally, the more the better."

When Zhang Weixian heard Zhu Changluo say that the more the better, he directly said without thinking: "I obey the order."

Hearing that Zhang Weixian agreed to his will so happily, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but think highly of Zhang Weixian again.

He is indeed a rare smart man.

Zhu Changluo immediately praised: "The British government is worthy of being the leader of the country! With you, I feel at ease."

Zhang Weixian said: "It's a minister's blessing and duty to be able to share His Highness's worries."

Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, Duke Ying really deserves to be the number one Duke of Ming Dynasty."

After exaggerating Zhang Weixian again, Zhu Changluo said: "I'm going to borrow a boat in the name of the Liuli Chamber of Commerce. The Liuli Chamber of Commerce is the largest joint chamber of commerce in the capital, and the participants are all powerful people. Let them come forward to borrow ships. The chamber of commerce recognizes it, and the imperial court can rest assured. After all, the members of the Liuli chamber of commerce are a group of loyal ministers and sons of loyal ministers of the country. It would be perfect for the chamber of commerce to come forward."

Hearing that Zhu Changluo asked the Liuli Chamber of Commerce to borrow a boat, Zhang Weixian looked up instantly, feeling that he had heard it wrong.

Originally, he was ready to go bankrupt for His Highness the Crown Prince.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness wanted the Liuli Chamber of Commerce to lend a boat.

If the Liuli Chamber of Commerce came forward, then the British Duke would not have lost too much blood.

This is undoubtedly a great thing for Zhang Weixian.

But can the Liuli Chamber of Commerce do it?
Zhang Weixian was a little hesitant. After all, there were not many people in the Liuli Chamber of Commerce who were so loyal and regarded money as something outside of them.

But looking at His Highness the Prince's attitude as if he was holding Zhizhu, it seems to be okay.

Therefore, Zhang Weixian said: "I must do my best to do a good job for His Highness."

Looking at such a sensible Zhang Weixian, Zhu Changluo naturally couldn't let a loyal minister like Zhang Weixian suffer.

Zhu Changluo said: "I will help you in this matter. The lonely Xishan Huangzhuang is the largest customer of the Liuli Chamber of Commerce, and the bottles of various series of fairy happy water and Prince's herbal tea in Xishan Huangzhuang are provided by the Liuli Chamber of Commerce. Glass bottles. If the British government can do it perfectly at this time, Wang An and the others will continue to increase the purchase of glass bottles, which can be regarded as a little compensation for you."

Zhang Weixian replied: "Your Highness, I am so grateful for your benevolence."

Zhu Changluo said to Sun Xian again: "Sun Xian, as the supervisor and witness of the Liuli Chamber of Commerce, you will assist the British Duke to complete this matter. If there is any difficulty in understanding the court, just think about the gains and losses of each family. You are only allowed to cooperate with the East Factory in the investigation, and the Jinyiwei will take care of it."

Sun Xian immediately replied: "The slave is leading the order."

　Went for a drink today. .Forgive me. . .
