The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 74

The equity book is full of two pages.

"My surname is Zhang, aren't you cheating on me? Why do you feel something is wrong?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't read all the words, so he read it in a daze, and signed the pledge according to Zhang Zhou's instructions.

Apparently, naives are starting to have brains too.

Zhu Houzhao took his own share in duplicate and wanted to study it, but he only had a few glances at the shares, rights and interests, risks, etc., and he had two big heads.

Zhang Zhou dried up the ink stains signed by Zhu Houzhao on his face, and said: "Prince, you don't give out money, what can I cheat you for?"

"That's true, but why do you always feel weird?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't understand it.

Zhang Zhou secretly smiled in his heart.

I have led this matter from the beginning, and you belonged to me. It seems that you have shared half of the profits, but it doesn't cost much to start a bookstore, and your name is still famous.

And you signed this shareholding agreement, no matter whether it has legal effect or not, I will show it to bluff people anyway.

Let's see which rich and powerful dare to come to smash the scene!
A shareholding book was revealed, scaring them to death!

When you become an adult, and then you become the emperor, the value of this thing will be even greater.

Doing business with the crown prince of Ming Dynasty, or even the future emperor... thinking about it, the future is boundless.

"Prince, please rest assured, we are making a fortune together, and we will count the money in the future."

Draw cake.

Zhang Zhou is professional.

……

……

Zhang Zhou came out of the palace gate with the shareholding book signed by Zhu Houzhao himself.

Outside the palace, Zhu Feng was already waiting, and today he specially changed into Jin Yiwei's outfit.

"Brother Zhang, I'm looking for something for you, talking while walking?"

Zhu Feng said that he was going to invite Zhang Zhou to his carriage.

Zhang Zhou raised his hand to prevent him from approaching, and his words were cold: "Please keep a little distance, and talk if you have something to say. I don't have time to chat with you today. After talking, you go your way. I have my carriage. Don't interfere with each other. "

Zhu Feng said: "Today's bidding has come to fruition, and we won a big victory. I'm going to invite you to have a drink together. By the way, Uncle Chang Ning also wants to meet you."

Zhang Zhou shook his head and said: "I said knowing the festival, don't you understand it yet? Bidding is a matter of the Zhou family. You are close to them and let me get involved. Don't everyone think that I am using the public to seek personal gain? ? Let them provide the materials properly, don't think about stealing and playing tricks, I won't go!"

"This……"

Obviously, Zhu Feng was entrusted by Zhou Yu again and wanted to introduce him.

But Zhang Zhou didn't appreciate it.

Zhang Zhou didn't bother to pay attention to Zhu Feng, if you want face, others don't?
"Brother Zhang, don't go. There is another strange thing. In two days, don't you have to compete with the scholars of Shuntian Mansion? I just heard that Tang Yin also set up a ring, and you will compete with the scholars of Shuntian Mansion the day after tomorrow." On that day, I invited you over and told you to compete first, and whoever wins will be qualified to represent Jiangnan scholars!"

Zhu Feng brought another message to Zhang Zhou.

When Tang Yin heard that Zhang Zhou challenged the northern scholars, he, who claimed to be the most talented person in the south of the Yangtze River, naturally felt unwilling.

Who represents the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River has become the focus of the confrontation.

Zhang Zhoudao: "I am Xie Yuan. I won the fair and aboveboard in the Qiuwei examination field. Why should I give him a chance when I am defeated? I, as Xie Yuan, represent Jiangnan scholars, and I have his consent?"

"That's...not going?"

Zhang Zhou said coldly: "I won't do things that demean myself. Let those students from Shuntian Mansion wash their necks and wait for me to kill them!"

"Okay, okay...can we talk about something else?"

"There is something at home, I will not accompany you!"

Zhang Zhou got into his carriage directly, and now he is going to open a bookstore in partnership with Zhu Houzhao, and there are many things to arrange.
Zhu Feng is a tool man, Zhang Zhou is so stingy, how can he spend more time on this kid?
……

……

Shouning Hou Mansion.

Zhang Heling got a message from her elder sister from the palace, and knew that it was no longer feasible to follow the Queen's statement, so she hurriedly called her younger brother Zhang Yanling.

"...The Zhou family is so deceitful that they only offered a price of 5000 taels! Are they going to pay to death? Why doesn't my sister stand up for us?"

Zhang Yanling was very annoyed when he heard about this.

But at most it can only be incompetent and furious.

The stupidity of the two brothers is as well-known as their arrogance and domineering, and they are well-known in the elite circles of Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Heling said: "Who says it's not! I heard that the Empress Dowager personally went to see her brother-in-law, and made it clear that she would rely on the old to sell the old, and the brother-in-law is the most filial, so my sister can't speak well!"

"Then what should I do? I thought this matter was a certainty, so many goods have been brought in, and they are placed in the warehouse to attract bugs?"

"Second brother, my brother told you not to buy so many goods, let you have a look first before you talk, you are good, if you can't sell it, how much money will you lose?"

"Boss, you can't be shameless. Didn't you insist on buying the bricks from the demolition of the city wall in Tongzhou at a low price? Now that there is no way out, blame me for the rot in your hands?"

Before the two brothers could unanimously speak out, they quarreled against the wall first.

In the end, it was Zhang Heling who was older and calmer, and said: "Let's not argue first, we can't suffer from being dumb for nothing this time! Think about it for my brother, and ask my uncle to find a counselor to participate in the impeachment of the Zhou family. The people in charge of purchasing wood and stone in the palace colluded secretly, shoddy it! In the name of the minister, put pressure on brother-in-law! In addition to my sister, let’s make a two-way effort...the Zhou family will be overwhelmed by then!"

"feasible?"

Zhang Yanling was skeptical.

Our two brothers are usually the target of the speech officer's impeachment, but this time we are going to join the speech officer to participate in the impeachment of others?

This road is... a bit roundabout.

"It's okay, Uncle Shen Lu has caused a lot of trouble recently about Li Guang's affairs. Many people who got officials through his way have been dismissed, and some people asked him to refund the money. He needs us brothers to help him move, this time he I found someone and gave me advice, he said, as long as the strength is used properly, His Majesty will believe it, don't think that the Zhou family can get preferential treatment."

"Okay, big brother, brother, I'll listen to you. Most of the goods in our hands are sold to others... If we can't sell them, we will wait to send them to the palace!"

……

……

A memorial to the impeachment of the two brothers of the Zhou family, together with the eunuch, the imperial eunuch, and the Ministry of Industry, was submitted.

As the eunuch of the East Factory, Xiao Jing was also a direct participant in the incident, so he was very afraid of taking responsibility, so after seeing the memorial, the Supervisor of Rites hurriedly went to seek Zhu Youtang's opinion on behalf of the Supervisor of Rites.

Zhu Youtang was still sitting in the imperial garden admiring the scenery, chatting and laughing with Dai Yi.

"What's up?"

Seeing Xiao Jing's nervous look, Zhu Youtang probably guessed that there was something in the court waiting for him to make a decision.

Dai Yi also said with a smile: "I have something to say when I go back. Your Majesty is listening to Mr. Zhang. You are visiting the garden. Your Majesty has recovered a lot in the past two days. Don't worry about your Majesty with the affairs of the court."

Xiao Jing didn't reply.

But he stepped forward with a dull head, and put in front of Zhu Youtang the memorial to Lin Tingyu's impeachment in the engineering department.

As Zhu Youtang stared at the content of the memorial, his face gradually became stern.

"Is it true?"

After Zhu Youtang finished reading, he looked sideways at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jingdao: "Your Majesty, the bidding of the Ministry of Industry is all the rules set by Mr. Zhang. As for who to choose and who not to choose, Your Majesty should know the reason."

"Ah."

Zhu Youtang nodded.

From the bidding price alone, both parties voluntarily bid, and it is fair and open to choose the Zhou brothers to supply.

"In the story played by the Yanguan, it was mentioned that the Second Master Zhu of Chengguo Mansion provided a large amount of wood to the Zhou family. The materials of this batch of wood and stone... No one knows. It is also because of the low price Too many, maybe...that's what makes people suspicious."
