Chapter 198 Salt merchants gather!
Chapter 198 Salt merchants gather!
The next day.
After Guo Yunhou listened to Xu Guangqi's order in the court, he almost had a heart attack!
Damn it!
He swore that if it weren't for the temptation of Lingyan Pavilion, he would have quit!
Whoever likes the Minister of the Ministry of Finance will come!
"Your Majesty, I don't know why you are so anxious to kill those Tatars."
“But haste makes waste. Sometimes it may be safer to slow down a little.”
"I know that Your Majesty has money, but after all, it was a one-time deal."
“The province still needs to save.”
Guo Yunhou stood in the middle of the court and persuaded him earnestly.
Your Majesty can no longer be allowed to be so willful.
If we keep doing this, everyone will have to drink the northwest wind sooner or later.
"I know all this."
"I also know that my recent expenses have been a bit high."
"But I guarantee that there will never be a cutoff in capital flow."
nonsense!
It’s not like you want to hang yourself, of course I’m anxious!
Hearing this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Besides, this was Taizu's request, so he could still refuse.
Until now, he only prayed that Taizu could successfully collect a batch of money from those traders.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but look outside the palace.
Taizu went out to Zhu Yujian early this morning.
It is said that the salt merchants have already arrived.
Hope everything goes well...
----------------------------------
"Brother Song, I haven't seen you for a while and you have become an imperial merchant. That's okay."
"That's right, Brother Song, you have made a fortune but you have forgotten all your brothers."
"You will be fined one drink! You will be fined one drink later!"
In the capital city, in a luxurious restaurant.
Song Hai was eating and drinking with more than a dozen people.
These are all Shanxi merchants, but they are different from the nine that were killed before.
They are all from Datong, and basically started their business by selling salt.
Its influence spreads all over the Huaihe River.
This time he also called them over in the name of Royal Bank.
"Okay, I will punish you for a while."
"Let's get down to business first."
Song Hai had already drank a large pot of wine, but fortunately he was not drunk because of his good drinking ability.
But when he saw that there were people around him trying to get him drunk, he quickly waved his hand and said.
As soon as they heard that business was about to be discussed, the eyes of these salt merchants all showed a glint of light.
To be honest, they really envy Song Hai.
Although the ticket number business is gone, it has taken the royal line.
And judging from the current size of the Royal Bank, a large amount of money can be collected every year just by lying down.
Compared to them, it is really much more comfortable!
After receiving Song Hai's invitation this time, they all came after thinking for a while.
All are smart people.
It is very clear that Song Hai is no longer a businessman at this time, but a serious official!
No matter what Song Hai's intention was, it was definitely a good idea to make friends with him.
"Okay, let's talk business first."
"I wonder what Brother Song ordered us to do when he summoned us."
"As long as we can help, we will definitely help!"
On the left, an old man spoke first.
His name is Zhao Dama, and he is the helmsman of the Zhao family in Datong.
It can be regarded as one of the largest salt merchants in the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that his net worth is unfathomable.
"Everyone is smart and should be able to guess it."
"I'm not the one looking for you."
"You, go and invite the president. Just tell him that everyone is here and ask him to come over and talk to everyone."
Song Hai chuckled, bowed to the old man, and then said simply.
Hearing this, the people around were not surprised.
They had already guessed it when they arrived.
This is why they came one after another and did not dare to delay.
"The royal family is really looking for us..."
"What's the matter?"
"I've never smuggled anything to the Tatars."
But they guessed it, and now that it was confirmed that the royal family was looking for them, a group of people still couldn't help sweating on their foreheads.
The fat man couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.
It's not that they are cowardly, it's mainly because the previous families died so tragically...
Tens of thousands of people, all died just like that!
"If you have anything to do with the Tatars, I won't be looking for you."
Unexpectedly, as soon as this person finished speaking in a low voice, a man's voice came from outside the door.
Zhu Yujian walked in from the door, looked around, clasped his fists and smiled.
"Young Prince Zhu Yujian of the Tang Dynasty has met all the big businessmen!"
Zhu Yujian!
The general manager of the Royal Commercial Bank!
According to legend, the person whom His Majesty regarded as the crown prince!
It turned out to be Zhu Yujian who came in.
In an instant, everyone in the room quickly stood up and saluted.
"I've met the Crown Prince of Tang Dynasty!"
"Okay, okay, no need to be polite."
"I like to make friends, and since I'm here, I'm a distinguished guest."
"Please sit down."
Zhu Yujian waved his hand and took the main seat as he spoke.
Everyone below looked at each other and then sat back down nervously.
Looking at it, it looked like he was afraid that Zhu Yujian would chop him if he breathed too loudly.
"Everyone, I like to get straight to the point."
"Besides, the bank has a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to stay too long."
"Then the king said it straight."
Zhu Yujian looked around and chuckled, ready to get straight to the point.
Li Chen, who had been hiding next to him, shook his head when he saw this.
It can be seen that even though Zhu Yujian has been following him for a long time, he still looks down on these traders in his heart.
Li Chen couldn't do anything about it.
This is an ancient tradition and cannot be changed in a few words.
But that's fine too.
For businessmen, Li Chen has always held the concept of using things for what they are worth and taking precautions.
These bitches really dare to block the Nine Clans for profit.
"Please give me your instructions, Prince Tang."
Zhao Dama coughed and asked respectfully.
When he arrived, he was prepared for heavy bleeding.
In his opinion, the royal family found them just because they wanted money.
If you can avoid losing money and avoid disaster, that would be great.
"It's actually not that difficult. It's good news for everyone."
"I believe you have all seen Song Hai's situation. There are many benefits to cooperating with our royal family."
"And today, I have a deal that I want to discuss with you."
After looking at the old man from the Zhao family, Zhu Yujian said loudly.
Buying and selling?
A group of salt merchants looked at each other again
There was confusion in his eyes.
"I wonder what the deal is?"
"We are all salt merchants, so we may not know much about other things."
Zhao Dama's eyes narrowed and he asked tentatively.
He has a bad feeling!
really...
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yujian showed his big teeth at him.
"I know that you are all salt merchants."
"Of course the business we want to do is also related to salt."
Grass!
It really is!
Zhao Dama almost cursed!
Thinking of Song Hai's situation, Zhao Dama couldn't understand that the royal trading house wanted to take Yan Yin back!
This is to pry off their foundation!
Is the royal family so unscrupulous now?
The salt that was sold will be taken back if it is said to be taken back!
