Song Huan's words were heart-breaking, like soul torture, and they were impactful!
Those three people were already harboring evil intentions, and Song Huan's question, which struck deep into their souls, made them instantly silent.
At this juncture, who would dare to speak rashly and make Prince Rong unhappy?
However, there happens to be that ungrateful fool who is seeking his own death!
I saw Chen Xin kowtow to Song Huan repeatedly: "Your Highness, you are teaching me a lesson!"
"The villain will definitely take this as a warning in the future!"
"Never make this mistake again!"
"To show my sincerity, I am willing to donate three million taels of silver as a sponsorship!"
Seeing Chen Xin take the initiative to beg for mercy, Chu Wanliang, who was just like him, naturally did his part.
"The same goes for villains!"
"I am willing to donate five million taels of silver as sponsorship!"
"I will never make the prince unhappy again!"
Chen Xin's back molars almost shattered when he heard that Chu Wanliang actually paid two million taels more in sponsorship than himself.
His grandma’s eye-catching bag!
Is this all about comparison?
Even if you spend five million taels of silver, you won't be depleting your family wealth!
Faced with the two men's begging for mercy, Song Huan did not rush to express his position, but looked at Zhou Yingkai calmly, who had not said a word for a long time.
Although Zhou Yingkai was shaking all over that time, he still seemed to be immersed in shock.
However, it is not difficult to tell from the tightly bitten cheeks on his face and the slightly red eyes.
Song Huan's penetrating words just now had deeply stimulated him!
Zhou Yingkai is the president of the Huangshang Association, and Song Huancai pointed out the shortcomings of Huangshang every word, obviously slapping him in the face.
Looking at the official robe he was wearing, Zhou Yingkai didn't know where the courage came from, and he smiled softly on the spot.
"hehe……"
"The identity of this imperial merchant was given to us by Lord Long Live!"
"We should enjoy the same treatment as the ninth-grade ministers. Even if we wear Su embroidery, there is nothing wrong with it."
At this point, Zhou Yingkai changed the subject.
"Also, I really disagree with what the prince said just now!"
"My lord, you are the current prince, with a high and powerful position!"
"I'm afraid that the little money we businessmen have earned through hard work will not be able to attract your attention, right?"
"Although we are royal merchants, our money does not come from strong winds!"
"Whether we sponsor or not, shouldn't it be entirely up to our own free will?"
Zhou Yingkai sneered in his heart, feeling that he was the most transparent person in the room at this moment.
Ever since Prince Rong pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger and attended the banquet pretending to be Liu Qing's cousin yesterday, a trap has been set for the three of them!
The content of the trap was naturally to use his status as Prince Rong to coerce and induce the three of them to willingly use their wealth to sponsor him.
No!
It’s not about coercion or inducement, because there is no inducement at all!
Anyone who dares not to waste his family wealth is going against Prince Rong!
If nothing else goes wrong, if I am unwilling to sponsor, I am afraid I will severely offend this powerful prince, right?
As soon as Zhou Yingkai said these words, Chen Xin and Chu Wanliang opened their mouths wide and collectively took a breath!
Be good!
As expected of Zhou Yingkai, the president of the Royal Merchants Association and the owner of Sixi Bank with a large family and business!
Such courage, such courage!
It is simply not something that ordinary people can match!
At this moment, Zhou Yingkai was like a god in the hearts of the two of them.
They all thought that as soon as these words came out, Prince Rong would be furious and furious in an instant!
However, what he didn't expect was that after hearing this, Prince Rong started to analyze it seriously.
"Tsk..."
"Boss Zhou, I really admire your courage."
"It's just that your level of messing around and substituting things is really low!"
"First of all, neither I nor Liu Qing have ever forced royal merchants to use their wealth to sponsor!"
"Even if it is just a penny of sponsorship, it has made a contribution to the country and the country of Daliang."
"As long as you are willing to pay, I will recognize you and respect you!"
"You really don't want to, and no one is forcing you!"
"But at yesterday's dinner, Liu Qing cautiously asked you about sponsorship. What was your attitude?"
"As soon as I opened my mouth, the lion opened his mouth and demanded 30% of the profits!"
Having said this, Song Huan glanced coldly and looked around the three of them.
"Do you know what this sponsorship money is used for?"
"It's to bring iron and steel to my beams!"
"It is to provide an employment environment for more people in Daliang so that they can have jobs!"
"It is to promote the industrialization process of Daliang, so that Daliang can be fifty or one hundred years ahead of Xia State and Beiyuan, leaving them behind!"
"Do you really think that this money went into my pocket?"
"joke!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yingkai broke into cold sweat again!
Liu Qing did mention before that what kind of factory Prince Rong wanted to build.
It just sounded too complicated, so Zhou Yingkai didn't take it seriously.
After all, no matter what you open, isn’t the ultimate goal still to make money?
Then Prince Tarong wants to make money, why should I sponsor him?
Isn’t this nonsense!
Zhou Yingkai already regretted what he had said. He was about to retort, but Song Huan could not give him any chance to speak.
"Secondly, you keep saying that you are an imperial merchant personally conferred by the current emperor..."
At this point, Song Huan couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Boss Zhou, don't you know?"
"The reason why there are imperial merchants in Daliang is because I proposed such a system to the Holy One."
"In other words, you can wear Su embroidery and official uniforms in this life, all thanks to this king!"
"Since I can make royal merchants appear in Daliang, then it is only a matter of a word from me to make all the royal merchants in Daliang disappear."
"Can you understand me?"
Song Huan's voice was not loud, and even when he said these words, there was a faint smile on his face.
But the extremely oppressive momentum made all three of them have their hearts beat faster, their throats tightened, and they couldn't breathe!
"able……"
"I understand..."
The three people's voices were as quiet as mosquitoes. At this moment, they were so guilty that they didn't dare to raise their heads and look at Song Huan!
Especially Zhou Yingkai, who wanted to die at this moment.
I thought that what I had just done was justice from heaven, but who would have thought that this operation turned out to be a suicide attempt!
"Your Majesty! My words were inappropriate..."
"Down here..."
"I am willing to donate eight million taels of silver to support His Highness!"
Although the eight million taels of silver donated made Zhou Yingkai's heart bleed.
But everything can be saved, but these eight million taels of silver absolutely cannot be saved!
This is your own life-saving money!
Song Huan did not answer, but turned to give instructions to Xiao Lingzi beside him.
"Go and bring Liu Qing."
It doesn't matter how much money you donate, but asking Zhou Yingkai to abide by his promise and apologize to Liu Qing is the serious matter!
