Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 357

All the big families in the south of the Yangtze River who were not qualified to participate in the banquet were also eagerly waiting for the news they brought back.

Therefore, after a meal, the big Jiangnan families who were picked up at the pier today gathered in the garden that Xie Yunzhang rented.Fill the largest hall to the brim.

As soon as everyone arrived, the two big men also appeared.Everyone immediately chattered to ask and answer: "Mr. Pingjiang, how did the talk go?"

"Li Ting Gong, Your Highness didn't make things difficult for you, did you?"

Both of them were a bit uncomfortable, but they couldn't tell the truth, so as not to be looked down upon by everyone.A person has a face, but a tree has a bark...

"It's very unpleasant. His Highness the King of Chu wants to be domineering. Those who obey will prosper and those who oppose will perish." Xie Yunzhang said coldly.

"Ah..." The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became serious, and after a moment of shock, everyone believed in Li Tinggong's words.

"No surprise, look at the overwhelming battle this morning, isn't it just trying to scare us?"

"Think we were frightened?" In this kind of environment, it's easy for people to speak harshly. "Even his father didn't scare us, he is a brat, he wants to bluff us?!"

"A dog that can bark doesn't bite people. The louder the thunder, the smaller the raindrops in the end..." Even though everyone said this, they couldn't help but feel a little guilty.It's hard for anyone to say what His Royal Highness in his teens can do with a large army in his hands.

"Mr. Ping Jiang, that His Highness won't mess around?" They all turned their attention to Lu Zhonghe.

"Don't worry, the adults in the court will not let him mess around." Lu Zhonghe said with a firm face: "Of course, His Royal Highness's face can not be given, and the emperor's face can't be ignored. So when we come up, we still have to Let us know what to do first...His Royal Highness Chu wants to do it, let him do it. We are only responsible for making him fail."

"It won't be long before the emperor sees his sixth son failing several times, and the emperor will treat him as a waste." Xie Yunzhang sneered and said:
"The emperor has so many sons, and by then he will definitely not look at him again. He should turn around and beg us to give him a decent step down."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" After hearing this, all the big families in the south of the Yangtze River felt that the huge boy was not so scary anymore.So the fear left in my heart from the previous episode disappeared, and one by one regained their usual self-confidence.

"No matter how powerful he is, he will be beyond reach at sea. If you don't want us to take care of him, let's take care of him?!"

"Well, good." Lu Zhonghe looked at Xie Yunzhang in satisfaction, and the latter suggested loudly: "Everyone, don't wait for the future. At tomorrow's Laba Banquet, you can give His Royal Highness Chu a little Jiangnan was shocked."

"How?" Everyone asked.

"When he mentioned maritime trade, we just asked three questions. If we asked who is a maritime merchant, we would deny it." Xie Yunzhang laughed and said, "The expression of His Royal Highness King Chu must be wonderful."

"Ahaha, good!" Everyone praised one after another: "That's good, we don't say anything, we don't admit anything, so he has nowhere to use his energy, and has nothing to say, treat us to a meal for nothing Laba banquet."

"Hahaha, interesting and interesting!" All the big families in the south of the Yangtze River became more and more excited, and some people pretended to say: "Is it too much to bully a child like this?"

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed again.

After they finished laughing, Lu Zhong and Fang said indifferently: "You can't talk nonsense, who dares to bully His Royal Highness the Prince? We are all telling the truth——Who here has been at sea? Who has a fleet at sea?"

"No, not at all." Everyone naturally shook their heads.

"Then it's over." Lu Zhonghe said firmly: "We are not maritime merchants!"

~~
A group of big families from the south of the Yangtze River just finished their meeting, and before a cup of tea, their minutes of the meeting were placed in front of His Highness the King of Chu.

"Tsk tsk, isn't it just that I didn't meet them alone, where is there such a big resentment?" Zhu Zhen shook his head while flipping through this record, which came from a certain big family who had secretly worked for him.

"Your Highness said that." Shen Liuniang said with a wry smile: "Lu Zhonghe and Xie Yunzhang are all people who stomp their feet, and Jiangnan will tremble three times. How have they suffered such neglect?"

"This king never cares about his identity when dealing with outsiders." Zhu Zhen said indifferently.

"Your Highness really..." Shen Liuniang was about to praise him for 'treating everyone equally'.

But I heard the youngest at the side say quietly: "What he means is that outsiders are not as high as him anyway. What kind of plain gentry, high-ranking officials and nobles are just grassroots."

"The third brother is really a confidant." Zhu Zhen winked at the third brother, and the two brothers clapped their hands.

"Uh..." Shen Liuniang was speechless immediately.It took a while to remind Zhu Zhen again:
"Your Highness, don't think that they are talking nonsense when they say that you can't accomplish anything. They can really do it. After visiting these months, the more you get in touch with them, the more you can feel that their power is too strong. The control is really too tight - if they interfere with it, His Royal Highness, the Secretary of the Market, is afraid that nothing will be achieved."

"Of course I believe them." Zhu Zhen said with a nonchalant smile: "At first, I was also worried about how to break this game. I always felt that no matter what method I used, I might be targeted. Until I Met your father..."

"My father..." Shen Liuniang's beautiful big eyes dimmed significantly.

"Yeah. I think, there is a specialization in art, and you have never been in touch with such things as maritime trade, but your father has." Zhu Zhen smiled and said: "Just passing by Fengyang, I will send your father and Gu Yuanchen together. I found them, and after some communication, I was enlightened, so I appointed them as the Maritime Trade Commissioners of the Maritime Shipping Department."

As he spoke, he pointed to the outside and said, "They are coming too, do you want to meet?"

"I..." Shen Liuniang moved her lips a few times, and finally shook her head with difficulty and said, "It's still gone."

"It's up to you." Zhu Zhen naturally respected her opinion, and continued to talk about the matter: "They told me that the key to maritime trade is monopoly. All maritime merchants must either join me or be eliminated. There is no third way. Optional."

"Is it so cruel?" Shen Liuniang was a little unimaginable, these words came from the mouth of her always kind father.It seems that he really hates the fellow villagers in Jiangnan, and wants to dig them up...

"You can't be ruthless. Maritime merchants are used to being lawless." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice, "We want to establish the king's law, and they will definitely not buy it. So we can only ask them to die."

"A good idea, there are no people who don't buy it, and the rest are those who buy it." These words were too appetizing for the third child, and he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "Sixth child, you are more and more following your brother."

Zhu Zhen gave the middle finger to the third brother, and said to Liu Niang: "However, our identities are here. We can't punish them without teaching, and we can't punish them for no reason. So we have to toast first, and then ask them to eat the punishment." liquor."

"Zheng Boke Duan." The youngest smiled sharply.

"Yes." Shen Liuniang also understood now that His Highness had no intention of getting entangled with those big Jiangnan families, he was just waiting for the right time.When the time is right, they will be brought together.
