The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 542
These vassal kings have never played with the concept of adding railways and business circles in the future, and they all pointed their fingers at Zhu Linmi's description of the bright future.

Immediately, some people were eager to choose projects and invest money, but they were stopped by other vassal kings with their eyes.

After a while, it was King Han who came forward again, and said, "King Assistant, what you said today is of great importance, can you allow us to go back and think about it before replying?"

Zhu Linmi's face immediately sank when she heard this.I have said everything I need to say just now, and I have already thought about the way out for these clansmen, but now they want to play a game of delay?It's not easy to get you guys together, how could you let them go back for another five or eight years?

"There is no rush to buy shares, everyone can go back and think about it slowly." He cupped his hands towards Xiaoling, and said in a deep voice, "But the matter of stopping the salary is related to the stability of the country's taxation, and it involves the century-old foundation of the Ming Dynasty. For Taizu's face, there must be a result!"

As soon as he finished speaking, just as the guards in charge of the Dragon Guards were changing guard in the distance, more than 30 soldiers on each side lined up to purge them. It was so dizzy that it was difficult to open one's eyes.Then the two sides saluted each other, turned around and changed teams at the same time, and their movements were always the same.The whole process was majestic and solemn, showing the aura of an iron army in all battles.

The hearts of all the feudal kings present twitched with the sound of firecrackers hitting the ground, and then they remembered that the young co-registrant in front of him seemed friendly, but he was by no means a character to get along with!

Last year, the Eastern Captives fought all the way from Beijing to Jiangxi, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo. During this period, at least [-] to [-] clan relatives were captured and killed by bandit soldiers... until the young man who was still the son of the world at that time turned the tide and brought his own new army to kill him several times. The Tartars were defeated, and this is the opportunity for everyone to gather by the Xiaoling Mausoleum today.

If he really angered him, God knows what kind of thunder will fall on his head.The kings swept around the soldiers of the Dragon Guards standing upright, looked at each other again, and finally pushed Gui Wang, Lu Wang, and Yongning King to the front with a tacit understanding.

One of these three people is the closest relative to Emperor Chongzhen and Emperor Hongguang, and they have made great contributions to the suppression of Ding Kuichu's rebellion before, and their influence is not small; Hou, who has a lot of connections in Zhejiang; although the last one is only the king of the county, but he and King Luochuan were the only ones present who actually led troops to fight against Jianlu, and they are very prestigious among the clan.

It can be said that, apart from Zhu Linmi, these three are the most talkative among the feudal lords.

King Gui Zhu Youlang glanced at the vassals beside him, and said to himself that you are too dishonest, push me out for offending the assistant king?He had seen with his own eyes how the Dragon Guards took down Ding Kui and Chu's army in Guangxi, and thought about Jin Yiwei's magical powers in stealing himself from Prince Gui's Mansion under the watchful eyes of Sun Pengyun's hundreds of people...

He was originally a cowardly person, how dare he be the first bird at this time?Immediately shrinking his neck, he was the first to say: "My nephew is entirely up to His Royal Highness the Assistant King!" Then he looked at King Lu and King Yongning with a relaxed expression.

King Yongning had fought side by side with Zhu Linmi in Jiangxi. If he had to say that he admired the most in his life, the first one was the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, and the second was Zhu Linmi.In addition, Zhu Linmi hinted to him just now that as a feudal lord who has made military achievements, his family's salary will not stop.

So he handed over with pride, "As long as I can do something for the country and drive out the captives, not to mention the salary, I won't even give out all the family property!"

Zhu Yihai murmured even more now, and the two of them let go, if he said no, wouldn't it be Zhu Yihai who is responsible for the co-government king?He had also seen the martial arts of the Dragon Guards, so he didn't have the guts to offend Zhu Linmi.

In addition, when he was in Zhejiang Province, in order to raise military pay, he sent ships to sea several times to do business with Ryukyu, and he knew the huge profits of maritime trade.If you can become a shareholder of the court's maritime merchant fleet, compared with the little money of the court's salary, it can't even be regarded as a mosquito's leg.

He immediately bowed his head and said, "It's okay to stop this salary. But Brother Yu wants to invest 20 taels of silver in this 'Ocean Caravan'. Is it possible?"

20? !Sure enough, he is a local tyrant among feudal lords!Zhu Linmi was secretly delighted, and hurriedly responded: "There is nothing wrong with it. When the money arrives in Nanjing, the profit will be counted immediately!"

Seeing that the three of them bowed their heads, the vassal kings at the side were all discouraged for a while, so they had no choice but to accept the suspension of salary.These forty or so people are the few titled vassal kings left in the Ming Dynasty. As long as these people nod, no one from the other clans will dare to say anything more.

Now that the salary was gone, everyone immediately thought about their livelihood in the future.King Rong Yuan immediately said, "I want to invest 3 taels in the wooden track."

Others followed suit one after another, "I will invest in the shipyard for 3 taels."

"I believe in Lu Wang's vision and vote 5000 taels to the sea caravan team."

"I'll also take 2 taels to invest in the shipyard..."

Zhu Linmei smiled happily, "No hurry, come one by one. If you want to add more in the future, you can register at the clan mansion at any time."

Compared with the scene of the vassal kings actively buying shares, the hundreds of wealthy businessmen and wealthy gentry from all over the Ming Dynasty gathered in Quzhou Mansion at this time were not so active.

Sitting at the top, Huang Zongxi and Fang Yizhi looked at each other, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Because Huang Zongxi did a good job in the investigation of the salt tax, he not only recovered the salt tax of 70 million taels, but also pushed the invoice system in the salt system, so he has now been appointed as the head of the Customs Department.

The first job he received as a new official was to preside over the "Investment Attraction" conference in Quzhou. His Royal Highness the Assistant Prince attached great importance to this matter, but it did not go smoothly.

Most of the merchants and wealthy gentry below were whispering, "Master Li, you are shipbuilding in Quanzhou, why don't you become a shareholder of the imperial court's shipyard?"

"Master Dong made fun of me. How can the imperial court value my family background? Besides, if there is no one in the imperial court like me, if the imperial court wants to deduct my principal one day, I can't help but stare... "

"Old Zhang, Master Huang said just now that the caravan going to sea is very profitable. I think I can take some money to invest in it."

"It's better to be more cautious. This is a government-run operation. Most of the profits belong to the imperial court. If we lose money, I'm afraid we will bear it..."

"Master Sun is well-informed. The clock factory, glass factory, and wooden tracks mentioned by Mr. Huang just now are quite new. Would you like to see if you can invest some money in it?"

"It's nothing more than a strange skill, but according to this old man, it's really worth buying land with money..."

Those vassal kings naturally knew that the court would not steal their money, and most of them were simple-minded. If the assistant king said they could do it, they would pay for it.But these businessmen, gentry and the like are all human beings, as long as they feel that there is something wrong, they will not pay a penny.
