Han Du's face suddenly darkened, and he said angrily: "What? You don't even give me the respect of a brother?"
"Brother, please don't create a gap between us brothers and sisters just for the sake of business." Han Jingyun said with a smile: "But this is business after all. I can't interfere with what the people below do, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be wrong? It will make them sad, who will listen to my orders in the future?”
What can't you explain to the people below? Han Du understood that this was just an interface the girl was looking for.
She is the queen, and the people below are just your female officials and maids. Who dares to ask her for an explanation?
Han Du stood up suddenly and looked at the girl calmly, "Do you really think you are good at business? Do you really think you will make all this money?"
"Oh? Brother is a businessman. Do you have anything to teach me?" Han Jingyun responded with a smile.
Han Du suddenly laughed and nodded: "Well, in that case, I have to go to the emperor. I think the emperor understands better than you. Although some things are profitable, they need to be done in moderation."
After saying that, Han Du took a deep look at the girl, then turned and left.
After his brother left, Han Jingyun suddenly frowned and said to himself: "The price of cotton is so high now. If those people want to avoid losing money, they must try their best to maintain the price. I just need to keep shipping. It is impossible to lose." !”
As if he had received a reassurance, Han Jingyun couldn't help but wave his fist.
But suddenly thinking of her eldest brother's eyes when he left, she still felt a little unsure.
"No, I have to go see what the elder brother said to the emperor."
...
Wang Yue walked to the emperor's side.
After Zhu Biao noticed it, he asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo wants to see you."
"Oh?" Zhu Biao was slightly surprised. Han Du should be planning his railway track now. How could he suddenly enter the palace?
It just so happened that Zhu Biao felt a little tired after reviewing the memorial for too long, so he could take a break.
So he put down his brush, picked up the ginseng tea, and said, "Xuan."
"yes."
"I pay my respects to the emperor." Han Du bowed and saluted.
"No gift."
Zhu Biao asked curiously: "How come you have time to see me?"
"Your Majesty..." Han Du did not mince words and directly explained the matter to Zhu Biao in detail.
Zhu Biao's eyes were filled with little stars. He could hear every word Han Du said clearly, but he couldn't understand what Han Du meant.
"Isn't this... a matter of business? What's the problem?"
Han Du took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this is not just a business."
"Oh?" Zhu Biao put down his tea cup and quietly waited for Han Du's next words.
After a pause, Han Du continued: "Your Majesty, this method is really too profitable. Once it spreads, it will definitely attract countless people to follow suit. Because everyone is profit-seeking, no one will just watch others make mistakes. Make a fortune without benefiting from it."
】
"Isn't this a good thing?" Making money in Ming Dynasty is not illegal. Zhu Biao doesn't understand why Han Du is so anxious.
"What's so good?" Han Du smiled bitterly, "Money doesn't come out of thin air. If someone makes a fortune, it means that someone will go bankrupt."
"This is not the most serious problem. What is even more serious is that if you want to make money through this method, you will definitely deliberately
(This chapter is not finished yet, please turn the page.) The price of certain goods is too high or has dropped. "
"Your Majesty, you can imagine this. For example, some people just bought cotton for weaving when the price was at its highest. However, after the cloth was woven, the price of cotton dropped to the bottom."
"The people have worked hard for so long, and soon they won't get a penny in return. On the contrary, even if they sell the cotton cloth, they will lose more than half of their money."
"If you repeat this three or five times, a family that has no worries about food and clothing will be robbed and nothing will be left!"
"What!" Zhu Biao stood up suddenly when he heard this. Even the blue and white porcelain teacup was turned over on the imperial desk, and he didn't even care.
After hearing that it could bankrupt ordinary people a few times, Zhu Biao realized how destructive this trading method was.
"A group of businessmen, who gave them the courage to harm the people?"
Han Du struck while the iron was hot, "This is also my negligence. The Shipping Department was originally just a place to manage maritime trade and trade securities. Unexpectedly, it was taken advantage of by merchants, and the result became what it is now."
"What's more important now is that the Queen deliberately raised the price of cotton..."
Zhu Biao's eyes widened and he suddenly looked at Han Du: "Queen????????????????What does this have to do with the Queen?"
Han Du quickly explained to Zhu Biao that even Fu Yong and Chang Hao did not hide the things Fu Yong and Chang Hao asked from Zhu Biao.
After hearing this, Zhu Biao frowned and said: "This has just begun, and it has already reached the point where even a millionaire cannot bear it. If it continues, what's the point?"
Han Du was overjoyed, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Han Jingyun coming in.
"Your Majesty~"
Han Jingyun glared at his brother complainingly and walked to Zhu Biao with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, don't listen to elder brother's nonsense."
"Are you really raising the price of cotton on purpose?" Zhu Biao was not fascinated by Han Jingyun's coquettishness, but instead asked with a serious face.
Han Jingyun spoke softly and slowly calmed Zhu Biao's anger: "Don't you know that the textile workshops are all weaving cloth? If you don't sell the cloth, where will you have the money to pay salaries to so many people?"
This... is not unreasonable, Zhu Biao thought as he lowered his head.
"But there is no need for you to deliberately raise the price of cotton cloth, right? Did the weaving workshop lose money before?" Han Du would not give the girl a chance to quibble. Seeing Zhu Biao start to hesitate, he directly exposed her.
Han Jingyun glared at Han Du angrily, and then said to Zhu Biao: "Your Majesty, I can't raise the price of cotton cloth. All goods will rise and fall. It's not surprising."
"Isn't it strange?" Han Du immediately exclaimed: "Even if there was an increase or decrease in the past years, it would not exceed 50%. But now, good guys, you have raised the price of cotton several times, which still makes the people How to live?"
"Brother, please don't make trouble with the common people. All the cotton this time was bought by those two people, and no common people bought a single piece. If they are to suffer, it is the two of them who suffer. What does it have to do with the common people?" Han Jingyun immediately retorted.
Han Du was so angry that he couldn't find the words to retort to the girl. He just looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Your Majesty, you just don't care?"
Scoundrel! Han Jingyun gritted his teeth towards Han Du and made a silent mouth gesture.
Then he held Zhu Biao's arm and shook it, "Your Majesty, you promised me that I will handle all matters in the harem."
Seeing that there were outsiders still here, Zhu Biao's face suddenly turned red and he had to take back what he originally wanted to say.
Although it is said that the weaving workshop is under the management of the harem queen, this matter has already involved the Shibo Department, and Zhu Biao should make the decision.
But... Han Jingyun's move was so lethal that even Zhu Biao was at a loss.
Han Du knew that he could no longer count on Zhu Biao, so he had to look at the girl and gave a helpless smile: "You are already a queen and rich in the world. Why do you need so much money?"
"When my mother handed over the weaving workshop to me, she specifically told me that the female workers in the workshop were hard-working people and that I should treat them well. After so many years, I dare not or forget..."
Seeing how pitiful Han Jingyun said, Zhu Biao was even more moved. How could he still remember Han Du's reminder?
Han Du shook his head and sighed: "But even so, you don't have to do this, right? Wouldn't it be better for each of us to take a step back and just call it a day?"
Han Jingyun smiled lightly and looked at his brother without saying anything. The meaning was obvious: Why should I give up on the money I earned based on my ability?
Seeing that he couldn't persuade the girl, Han Du had no choice but to say: "Those who play with fire will burn themselves. Although this futures contract can make you rich overnight, it can also step into the abyss. Don't think that you are sure of winning. In terms of buying and selling, you are still far behind." Far."
"Then I'll wait and see." Han Jingyun still refused to let go.
But this is normal. After all, it is hundreds of thousands of silver coins. Who can be willing to lose it in vain?
But the more this happened, the more confident Han Du was that he could get the money back from the girl with his ability.
Because in futures contract trading, the more greedy and unwilling you are, the worse you will lose!
"I will retire first!"
"Oh~ let's go." Zhu Biao saw that the two brothers and sisters were so at odds with each other, and it was hard for him to intervene, so he simply let it go.
When the right time comes, he will take action to stop the two of them, and maybe even get them back together.
...
It's still the same private room in the seafood building.
But this time it was Han Du who brought Fu Yong and Chang Hao over for dinner.
But the two of them were so anxious that they couldn't eat at all even if they were faced with a table full of delicious food.
"Master, how is the situation?"
When Han Du saw the two of them eagerly asking themselves, he had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and sighed: "The cotton cloth you bought comes from the weaving workshop."
Both of them had already guessed this, and they were waiting for the father-in-law's next words.
After a pause, Han Du continued: "I asked to see the empress, but..."
When they heard the word "but", both of them couldn't help but feel their hearts sinking.
"Don't you think the queen would even give me the respect of my father-in-law and refuse to show your favor?" Chang Hao felt desperate.
The father-in-law was their only hope, and they never thought that the empress would do this.
Han Du paused, nodded affirmatively and said, "You are too greedy and have increased your profits too high. If you had not been so greedy at the beginning, there might be a turning point."
Fu Yong and Chang Hao looked at each other. They were indeed blinded by huge profits at the beginning, but things have turned into what they are now. They can't just sit back and wait for death, right?
"Please sir, please help us in large numbers."
"If the master is willing to come to the rescue, and the villain is willing to attach himself to the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, only the master will follow his lead!"
The two of them were more willing to spend money than the other. Fu Yong just begged, but Chang Hao was directly willing to join the father-in-law.
Fu Yong looked at Chang Hao in shock, and then he also reacted and quickly added: "Master, please forgive me, and this villain is also willing!"
