Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 53
Marquis of Jianchang, Zhang Yanling's title, Zhu Houzhao's second uncle, and Zhang Heling's younger brother, Zhu Houzhao couldn't be entrusted to Zhang Heling alone for this matter.Anyway, Zhu Houzhao was going to let the two brothers charge forward. To put it bluntly, if you want to take money and not do things, how can you do it? If this happens, the benefits will be much better.

The first is to solve the problem of salt administration, and the second is to separate the nobles and relatives from the officials and businessmen. How can you wear a pair of trousers?

Zhang Heling didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to find his younger brother, but he hurriedly sent him to look for him. He couldn't tell Zhu Houzhao what to do, and the most important thing was to do it.

Zhang Yanling was not slow at all, especially when he heard that Zhu Houzhao was here, the speed was very fast.When everyone was there, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin behind him, and then ordered: "You all go out, watch at the door, don't let anyone come near, I have something to say to the two uncles, understand?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this servant understands!" Liu Jin bowed and exited after agreeing, closing the door from the outside.

When there were only three people left in the room, Zhu Houzhao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said: "Both of you are my uncles, and the family does not speak of each other. Marquis Shouning entered the palace a few days ago. , for the matter of Yanyin, saying that it was a salt merchant begging, it is nothing to say."

"It's just some salt lessons!" Zhu Houzhao turned to look at Zhang Heling, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "But does Shou Ninghou know why I am so angry?"

Zhang Heling was taken aback for a moment, this was also what he was puzzled in his heart, he quickly got up and said: "Return to Your Highness, I don't know!"

"Okay, sit down and talk!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "It's just the three of us here, don't make such fools." Zhu Houzhao's attitude became serious as he said: "If you don't know, then I will tell you Said, let me ask you, are those salt merchants your disciples? How much money do they pay to the mansion a year?"

As soon as these words came out, both Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were stunned, and then they were embarrassed, very embarrassed.

"This, this!" Seeing Zhu Hou looking at her, Zhang Heling opened his mouth several times without saying anything.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Shou Ninghou don't tell me, I know that these people are not your disciples, at most they are sheltering under your sect, give some gifts every year, and give more when they are asked to do things. For example, this time about Yanyin, there must be no shortage of money, and I will know if you don’t tell me.”

The two brothers looked at each other, feeling even more embarrassed. After all, this matter was disgraceful, especially in front of Zhu Houzhao, the prince of Ming Dynasty.

The two of them didn't speak, but Zhu Houzhao slammed the table and said angrily, "This is what makes me angry. What do they think of you? Throw some away when you have money, and give some when you ask him to do something." , What is this? Is this a hunting dog? Feed it normally, and give it something good to eat when catching prey."

As soon as Zhu Houzhao said this, the two brothers blushed immediately, so ashamed and angry that they didn't know what to say.

But Zhu Houzhao's words made the two brothers even more embarrassed, because they thought about it carefully, grandma's, it seems that this is really the case.

"Who are you? Uncle Daming, the brother of the current empress, and the uncle of the current crown prince, how dare they treat you like this?" Zhu Houzhao said angrily, "They are slapping the royal family, the emperor's face, Slapping my mother's face is also hitting my prince's face!"

Zhang Heling actually wanted to tell Zhu Houzhao that we were not that angry about the prince's nephew.

But neither of these two dared to say these words, because the crown prince was angry for you and stood up for you, you said you were not angry?You do not need?That's not the way to die.

"I'm so angry!" Zhu Houzhao pointed at the two people and said, "It's sad, really sad, to do such a thing for a little money!"

The two brothers glanced at each other, and felt very sad for a moment. I am the uncle of the Great Ming Dynasty. Among the most honorable people in the world, there must be two brothers of my own, right?But just for a little money, what have you done?They don't know how they came up with this idea, why didn't they find out before?

Zhu Houzhao took a look at his two uncles, and knew that he was almost fooling around, so he could get down to business.

Coughing, clearing his throat, Zhu Houzhao said: "This Daming belongs to our family, and this world belongs to our family. Let your relatives live better. It's okay. Whoever is rich doesn't take care of the poor?" Relatives, father and queen also think so, but there are some things that need to be paid attention to in ways and means."

The two brothers were taken aback for a moment, and then realized, did their sister help?Immediately, the two became excited and looked at Zhu Houzhao expectantly.

"Let's just talk about the salt. How much money does the salt merchant in Ming Dynasty make a year? I don't need to say this. The two uncles should know it well. Instead of letting the salt merchants earn the money, why not our own family?" Zhu Houzhao lowered his voice. The voice and tone are all bewitching.

Hearing this, Zhang Heling felt bitter in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness doesn't know, this salt merchant is organized into a group, and it is very difficult for outsiders to intervene."

"What if I have a way for you to intervene?" Zhu Houzhao said with a confident smile on his face: "But let's talk about this in private. If this matter is completed, don't ask for more. I want [-]% of the profit every year. Of course, This is for me, father and queen, it depends on your mood."

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling looked at each other, their hearts beating. It turned out that His Royal Highness in his family had taken a fancy to the salt merchant's business.

"But the ugly words are up front. I only tell my uncle this. I will never admit it to other people. If the news spreads, let alone I can't spare you, neither can my father and queen mother." Zhu Houzhao stared at the two people and said with a serious face.

As for whether they will give it, or whether other relatives and nobles will give it, Zhu Houzhao is not worried at all.

This is all in private, spending money to make friends with the prince, you will never die, and publicizing it to the outside world, only a fool will do this.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, if it works, the palace will take [-]% every year, Your Highness will get [-]%, and the queen will give [-]%." Zhang Heling gritted his teeth and said, when he said this, Zhang Heling directly dismissed the emperor Zhu Youtang After going out, the elder brother gave the elder sister money, let alone the queen, no one could tell what was wrong.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the two of them, and couldn't help being a little surprised. He was quite willing to spend the money, but after thinking about it, he understood that it wasn't their money, so why should they be reluctant.

Brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling's eyes were red, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be able to see them, how beneficial would this be?
