What do you mean?
Lin Bai was confused. Did he kneel as soon as he came? OK?
It's not surprising that he was confused. During this period, he was busy with education reform and middle school science textbooks, so he didn't know how troublesome they were.
As you can imagine, the great talent had long since forgotten it at his grandma's house, and could only pick it up again little by little.
I still need the help of the science lady, otherwise it might not be the same.
So he really knows nothing about Xincheng.
Just kidding, it was too late to hide from such a bad thing in Xincheng, so how could he be in the mood to care about it.
"Boss Wen, what's wrong with you? Get up quickly."
Lin Bai quickly tried to persuade him.
"Your Highness, Fourth Highness, please help us all." Everyone begged.
In their talk, Lin Bai finally figured it out.
He Wenxu said: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, we had no choice but to join Ezhou New City in the first place, because we are quite famous in Kyoto. The second prince and the third prince found us and asked us to support the new city and swear to us."
"We take into account the face of the two princes, and with the two new cities in Ping'an County and Changjin County ahead of us, we think it should be about the same."
"But even so, we still believe in His Royal Highness, so we used insufficient capital turnover as an excuse to invest a little symbolically. Most of the investment is in Changjin and Southwest."
"But now, His Highness the Second and His Highness the Third have checked our accounts and said that we have a lot of funds in our accounts and are deliberately passive and sabotaging work with ulterior motives."
"They also said that if we don't increase investment, we will be punished."
what the hell!
Can this still be done?
The great talent calls 666 directly.
In fact, to put it bluntly, merchants still have no status, although the environment for merchants seems to have changed a lot because of the addition of several new cities.
But everyone still looks down on businessmen, let alone Zhu Kun and Zhu Tai.
These two guys completely treated businessmen like fat pigs.
"Your Highness, the money in our account is not idle money at all. It is the payment for goods that has just been deposited and will be paid out soon."
"That's right! There is a lot of business dealings, but the two princes decided that we did it on purpose and forced us to invest, or they would punish us."
"Not only that, their two highnesses are also looking for businessmen to invest everywhere. Whenever they hear that a businessman has money, they immediately send people to look for it. Those who are obedient are fine, but those who are disobedient will find various problems to make things difficult, and even find oilmen to seize them."
"Nowadays, among all the businessmen who have left the imperial court, no one dares to keep any cash in their accounts."
? ?
Lin Bai was shocked. Isn't this a clear robbery? Isn’t it too heart-rending?
"What about their money?"
"Everyone has invested, and everyone has swarmed into the Southwest. Everyone believes in His Highness the Fourth. Instead of being coerced by His Highness the Second and Third Highness, it is better to invest in the Southwest."
"That's right! Many businessmen have even moved their families to the southwest."
"..."
Well?
Is there such a good thing?
Lin Bai smiled crookedly, but he hadn't heard of it!
That's right, I am busy with textbooks all day long, and Lao Six and Lao Seven are responsible for things in the southwest. I have to ask when I get back.
It seems I have to thank these two idiots.
If that's the case, then don't worry about it, just work hard, it's none of my business anyway.
"Everyone, this prince also wants to help you, but after all, my father asked the second and third emperor brothers to be responsible for this matter. It's hard for me to say anything."
"In this case, I, the prince, will ask about the situation first. The key is up to you. You must report it to your father."
Lin Bai pushed 256.
Of course, he was telling the truth. We were all princes, and he had no right to interfere with those two idiots.
What's more, let Lao Zhu have a headache for this kind of nonsense!
After returning home, Lin Bai asked Yan Ruxue and Gu Linger.
Sure enough, according to what the two said, various investment data reported by the Southwest Commerce Bureau during this period were obviously increasing, and the magnitude was very large.
You know, the southwest development has been going on for some time, and the influx of funds has slowly leveled off.
Now the sudden surge is obviously abnormal, but it is a good thing after all. Although the two women were confused, they did not pay too much attention to it and never thought...
Gu Ling'er said: "Husband, if they do this, Ezhou will only get worse."
Lin Bai said indifferently: "Let them do whatever they want! It has nothing to do with us anyway."
Yan Ruxue said: "It has nothing to do with it for the time being. I am afraid that Your Majesty will ask your husband to clean up this mess, and the businessman will have no money. At that time..."
Both of them were obviously worried.
In a situation like Ezhou's, there is a high probability of unfinished business.
The merchants have already made trouble with my husband, and they will surely make trouble with His Majesty soon. His Majesty may already know about it.
And once this happens, such a big mess will most likely fall on the husband.
No! Not 80%, but it will definitely fall on the husband.
At that time, all the businessmen's money was invested in the southwest, and they couldn't solve it even if they wanted to.
Lin Bai said indifferently: "Let's talk about it when the time comes!"
The great genius doesn't care at all, the southwest is the base camp. Lao Yan is right, the southwest must be in hand, and developing the southwest well is the key.
As for Ezhou, I love so and so!
It's not your fault anyway.
Royal study room.
Zhu Tianzheng also received the news at this time, and his face was ashen. To be precise, he received the news very early, but he didn't expect that things would be so outrageous.
"Back to Your Majesty, most of the construction in Ezhou has stopped. I think the money from last time has been almost used up."
"Although your two highnesses have tried their best, the businessmen are panicked and may not be able to do their best. In the past few days, many businessmen have appeared in the Kyoto Yamen, asking your two highnesses to repurchase the contract."
"Although everything has been suppressed, the matter has spread. I'm afraid..."
Eunuch Cao reported one by one.
Zhu Tianzheng's face became increasingly ugly.
"The impact of the audit is huge. I heard that not only businessmen from all over the country, but also the businessmen around the two princes are secretly diverting investments, fearing that they will get caught up in it and lose everything."
"..."
"These two idiots!"
Zhu Tianzheng couldn't help but cursed, "I thought they would fail, but I didn't expect them to be such a waste. I can't even copy the ready-made templates."
"I shouldn't have given them a chance."
Eunuch Cao remained silent.
Zhu Tianzheng paused and asked again: "I heard that a businessman went to find the fourth child?"
Eunuch Cao replied: "Yes! But so far His Highness the Fourth Highness has not responded."
Zhu Tianzheng said: "Those businessmen trust the fourth child the most, but the fourth child cannot express his opinions because the second and third children are not able to express their opinions and understand the general situation. How can they be like those two idiots who have embarrassed the royal family and the whole world?" .”
"Go! Call them back. Mud can't hold up the wall."
There was deep disappointment in his eyes.
"yes!"
Eunuch Cao accepted the order and immediately retreated.
Zhu Tianzheng looked into the distance and murmured, "I don't know if the fourth child can clean up this mess."
He sighed with a hint of helplessness.
