"Sir, His Majesty has ordered the recall of the second and third princes."
Yan Mansion, Yan Qing bowed and said.
Yan Zhenlin nodded, "It's time to recall it. It would be too ugly if we don't recall it."
Yan Qing said: "It's already very ugly. It's spread all over the world. It's been suppressed here in Kyoto, but people have died in Ezhou."
Yan Zhenlin asked: "Businessmen or common people?"
"All of them!"
"The businessman was sealed up and had no way to complain. Instead, he was severely beaten by the Yamen and died in prison in vain. The people lost their fields, the new city was stagnant, and they couldn't find a job. They asked for compensation from the superiors, and two of them died."
It is normal for a few people to die in this era.
For the prince, it was nothing at all, even Yan Zhenlin didn't have much reaction.
Yan Qing added: "Ezhou is a hot potato now. People are complaining and businessmen have lost confidence. Your Majesty will not let my uncle clean up the mess, right?"
Yan Zhenlin frowned slightly, "I'm not afraid of this. As long as Qingfeng stands up, there will be no problem with his appeal."
"The problem is that the stalls opened in Ezhou are too big. With Ping'an County, Changjin County, and later the Southwest Development, businessmen from all over the country have probably spent almost all their investment."
"It's probably not easy to find such a huge sum of money in a short period of time to continue in the new city."
Yan Qing said: "What should we do? Should we remind my uncle not to take this hot potato?"
Yan Zhenlin shook his head, "Qingfeng seems indifferent, but he must be like a mirror in his heart. You don't need to remind me."
"And, if possible, I still hope that Qingfeng can turn the tide. In this way, it will also let the elders of the royal family see who is the most suitable candidate."
"By the way, I heard that many people from the royal family also invested money?"
Yan Qing nodded, "Not bad!"
"In order to attract investment, the two princes have racked their brains. Many people from the royal family have invested money, and there are several concubines in the palace."
"I heard that in the past few days, many people in the palace have asked the two princes to withdraw their shares, and many banks are also asking them for money. In order to raise the 10 million taels, I must have borrowed a lot."
"Almost all the merchants from aristocratic families who have good relations with them have fallen into it."
Yan Zhenlin snorted, "This is what happens when you overestimate your capabilities."
"Right now, only Qingfeng can clean up this mess."
Yan Qing was surprised because he found that his master was very confident. Could it be that he really had something to do?
But now that it’s like this, what else can be done?
A stall as big as Ezhou requires real money and silver to finance it. Although my uncle's reputation is unparalleled, it can't be exchanged for money!
The key is that Li Chao was not wealthy to begin with, or his life was just a little better this year, but now the businessmen are empty out and have no money at all.
The second and third princes may not be very good, but they have many advisers around them, and they have even used methods to intimidate businessmen. This is because they are at the end of their rope.
What else can my uncle do?
Yan Qing was a little suspicious
He was obviously not the only one who had the same suspicion, Fan Renli was also one of them. At this moment, he was thinking about how Lin Bai would solve the current dilemma.
It's a pity that he is not Lin Bai after all, and he couldn't think of any solution after thinking for several days.
Because this seems to him to be a dead end.
If Ezhou wants to continue construction, it needs a huge amount of funds, but at this juncture, it is impossible to get so much money anywhere.
For the first time, Fan Renli felt tired. He had never felt this way before when the Night King captured him.
Because he knew that His Majesty would definitely use him again.
But this time...
"uncle!"
At this time, Zhu Tai had already rushed back with a panic on his face, and Zhu Kun was almost the same. The two of them had been racking their brains during this period, but things were completely different from what they imagined.
It seemed like the whole world was against them.
"Uncle, what should we do now? What did my father say? Can we still get the money?"
Zhu Tai was obviously still unwilling.
Zhu Kun flinched, "It's useless. Report it to your father truthfully! Ezhou can't succeed again, and we owe so much money. The top priority is this money."
"No! Impossible!"
Zhu Tai was very unwilling, "Ezhou will definitely succeed. They are all those damn businessmen. They deliberately contradict us. I, the prince, must make them look good in the future."
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
At this time, a servant came in a hurry.
"Why are you so nervous?"
"Your Highness, if it's not good, a group of royal family members will come looking for Your Majesty."
Here in Kyoto, the two of them have been ordering people to watch and not allow the merchants to cause trouble, for fear of causing trouble in the palace. However, the merchants are easy to deal with, but the royal family members cannot.
Zhu Kun's face turned pale when he heard this.
Zhu Taize's teeth chattered, "These bastards, they were the ones who said that Lin Qingfeng's blood was impure, and now they are adding insult to injury whenever something goes wrong, damn it!"
At this moment, several eunuchs had arrived, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants you to enter the palace immediately."
Royal study room.
At this time, several members of the royal family were accusing them. It was nothing more than Zhu Kun and Zhu Tai fooling them into investing, promising that they would make money, and that they could withdraw at any time if they no longer wanted to invest.
But the result is that all the money was wasted and there is no way to get it back.
Moreover, there are complaints in Ezhou that the new city has been scolded by local people and has become a huge unfinished project.
The royal family members may sound nice, but in fact life is very tight, and all this money belongs to their family, as you can imagine.
Zhu Tianzheng's face turned gloomy and ugly as he listened to everyone's accusations.
He only knew that so many businessmen and royal family members were involved, but he really didn't know.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for us."
everyone cried.
Zhu Tianzheng was quite unhappy and snorted, "Investment is risky, don't you know?"
"Your Majesty, we were worried at first, but the two princes swore to each other, and..."
The person speaking was hesitant.
"And what?"
Zhu Tianzheng's expression darkened.
The man did not dare to neglect, so he had to say: "Furthermore, the two princes said... that the origin of the fourth highness was unknown, and they must suppress the momentum of the fourth highness, saying that this is a battle of royal bloodline orthodoxy, so we..."
"Bastard thing!"
Zhu Tianzheng was furious, "The fourth child is my son. If I hear such words again, no matter who it is, I will kill him."
All the royal family members were trembling with fear and did not dare to express their anger.
"Where are those two traitors, are they here?"
Zhu Tianzheng shouted angrily.
When Zhu Kun and Zhu Tai arrived, they happened to hear the angry voice. They couldn't help but tremble. They didn't dare to neglect and stepped forward quickly, "I have seen my father."
Zhu Tianzheng was furious when he saw the two of them, and kicked them both away.
"Father..."
The two of them were embarrassed, frightened, and wanted to explain.
But Zhu Tianzheng was too lazy to listen, "Kneel down for me for a good night first, and I will come back tomorrow to listen to your explanation."
