Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 326 The Merchant's Boss Is Zhu Biao

Zhu Biao walked away.

Three Treasures followed him out of the hall.

Yang Shen stretched out his black and thin hand, and patted Lu Wenxuan, the magistrate of Suzhou: "The Daming post office still needs to be built. Look at Yangzhou, the fish in the fields of the common people are getting bigger every day, so it can't be ruined in the end. The official post will always return. Secretary of General Administration, this post office belongs to the common people, and your place is much easier to manage than my Yangzhou."

Several magistrates leaned on their chairs, crossed their fingers, and tapped rhythmically, as if they were thinking about what Yang Shen and Zhu Biao said just now.

How powerful can these businessmen be?It's just that the imperial court gave support, if they don't listen, it's just a matter of a few words, I really don't know what these magistrates are worried about.

San Bao kept up with Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao stopped him directly and asked him to see how the sailors on the long voyage were trained.

I brought an unknown little eunuch to the East Palace, and I was very annoyed by the procrastination attitude of these magistrates.

Going back to the East Palace to look at the child, who knows that just as he was hugging him, his clothes were wetted by urine, Zhu Biao teased him, and he cried a lot.

When Chang saw that Zhu Biao's clothes were soiled by the child, Yu'er immediately went to find some clothes for him to change, but Zhu Biao stopped him, saying that his child's clothes were not dirty, and he would dry them after a while.

That being said.Chang Meirong still insisted that the weather was getting cold, so he needed to change his clothes quickly, so he helped him change: "His Royal Highness is having dinner here tonight? Tonight, father and queen mother will come to see Chi'er."

"No, there are still things to do, you ask Miaowei to come over, and you can have a lively meal together."

Hearing this, Chang Meirong nodded and didn't say anything, but hugged Zhu Biao tightly from behind, and put her face on his back: "No matter how busy you are, you should come back and rest, and take a look at Chi'er."

"Okay, I'll be back when I'm done." Zhu Biao said a few words of reassurance, then turned and left.

Zhu Biao wanted to encourage the businessmen to support the Daming Post Office, and asked people to tell the business representatives to come over.

Salt merchants designated by the Yangzhou Salt Bureau, cloth merchants and tea merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou, Shanxi merchants in Shanxi, and grain merchants in the north and south.They're all here one after another, so I have to hurry over today and deal with the matter.

Originally, they thought that the imperial court would control and defend tea and salt mines, and they would not be able to suck a single drop of blood.Many officials were exploiting secretly, so they wanted to cry poorly to Zhu Biao.

"I'm not here to hear you say this. The food sent by the imperial court to the border troops is all for you to transport. The salt from the Salt Bureau, including which teas, are specially treated to you. Think about it yourself.

The imperial court set up the Daming Post Office to facilitate your affairs. There are bandits on the north-south roads, and the escorted goods are chosen from ordinary people and retired soldiers. , horses, and fodder supply are all questions, and I have to think about the answer. "

Today, the Daming Post Office recruits ordinary people as postmen and retired soldiers, and someone has to pay their salaries on time every month. They are a group of businessmen who can be released properly, even if they don’t have bloodletting.

Lao Zhu asked people to deliver food to the frontier army from south to northwest.The policies formulated have continuously strengthened communication. If the Daming post office is built again to send letters, the basic necessities of life can be covered.

After he had thought about the postman's salary, he had to knock it from these guys, and they had to pay the money.

Shanxi businessman Huang Yunfang said: "In the past few years in the tea business, I have lost a lot, but the grass people are willing to make a small profit for His Royal Highness, and offer 21 taels of silver."

Shen Qiancheng coughed and said, "Shopkeeper Huang is so humble. I heard that you are the boss of scattered tea merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Why haven't I seen you for a few years, and I haven't heard that Shopkeeper Huang's business is losing money."

For Shanxi merchant Huang Yunfang, Zhu Biao's Jinyiwei found more than that. Although the imperial court monopolized tea, there are still many small tea dealers among the people, who are a little oily.There are seventy or eighty restaurants in their restaurant and inn in the Suzhou and Hangzhou area alone.

I am ashamed to say that I take 20 taels, which is not enough to send beggars, so I dare to take it out and say this.

Huang Yunfang glanced at Shen Qiancheng, and asked indifferently: "Boss Shen, we should all serve the imperial court."

"It's natural. My Shen family has prepared 200 million taels to support His Royal Highness to build the post office. This is a good thing for us."

Shen Qiancheng took the lead with 200 million taels, and several of them, including Huang Yunlai, gritted their teeth in distress.

The tea-horse trade began in the Tang and Song dynasties, and it was also a trade between the Han nationality and ethnic minorities. Usually, tea was exchanged for horses, and horses were traded for tea.Today, the tea horse system is completely controlled by the government and has become an official monopoly.

Zhu Biao said: "A few years before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was inconvenient because the straight roads were not repaired, and the means of travel were single, so I understand that your north-south transportation is a time-consuming thing.

When you are on the way to do business, you will often encounter bandits blocking the way, which will cause great losses to you.Daming Post Office can solve these troublesome things for you, why not do it?Unless you want your business to fail.

I understand the things you did behind your back, but no one is sage or sage, so I just want to give you a chance to reform. "

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in person, he must have discussed with those magistrates, those of them who do business, who have broken things in their hands, it depends on whether the Crown Prince wants to let it go or not.

If you want to wear small shoes for them, just find any reason.

A few of them are still graced by the court, so they follow the Salt Bureau and the Weaving Bureau to share some oil and water with tea.

If they don't have some money this time, I'm afraid they will never be able to continue their business in the Ming Dynasty.

There are many people with two legs in the world, and it is not easy to train a few to do business for the court.

If the court wanted to drag any businessman into the water, he would die, and the Wen family would have been raided.

Later, the ancestral property and silver of the Wen family in Shanxi's hometown exceeded 500 million, which made Lao Zhu taste the sweetness.

So Zhu Biao didn't care at all. This time, he came here to ask them to pay, and secondly, to see if they were willing to bleed for the court. It was also a chance to show their loyalty.

If anyone doesn't buy it, Jinyiwei has collected the black materials of their three or four big merchants, together with the evidence, in great detail, and they can take them out and beat them at any time, and any one of them can be sent to the guillotine.

Zhu Biao turned the teacup.

Huang Yunfang gritted his teeth and said, "My Huang family is willing to give 50 taels, oh no, 80 taels."

"The Tian family is willing to contribute 120 million taels to support the construction of the post office." Tian Haisheng got a lot of benefits from the Yangzhou Salt Bureau.

"My Tao family is willing to pay 1506 million taels." Tao Fafu is a Shanxi merchant. He followed the mine supervisor and Yanchi in Shanxi and gained a lot of benefits. This time he is self-aware, and the silver taels are second only to the Shen family.

Zhu Biao took a look at them and concluded that they were smarter.

The tea, salt and cloth mines originally monopolized by the imperial court were a good thing, but everything has two sides. Considering the development of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao felt that private businessmen still needed to inject some vitality, so he agreed to Shen Qiancheng to recruit them.

Shen Qiancheng said: "Everyone, the crown prince has always promoted you, so our master is His Royal Highness the crown prince, and the four of us should contribute to the imperial court."

　Ask for collection.Ask for support.

　　In the past two days, organize the outline behind.
