Not counting Chen, Zhang, and Li San, there are hundreds of elite soldiers in a random family that can sit here. They are not comparable to the elites of the imperial court, but they have all seen blood and killed people. If it were not for someone like Li Wenzhong who held ten The bosses of Yu Wan's army are targeting him. Who can easily make them bow?
After such a business, there are no subordinates who have not done dirty things. Even these people are like this, let alone the Li family who sells private salt. They are all desperadoes who have done their best. , that is, there is no iron-clad powerful crossbow, otherwise you will have nothing to fear in a head-on confrontation with anyone.
Of course, my family knows their own affairs. Ever since the prince entered the city, there has been a lot of chaos in Hangzhou city. The pro-army troops stationed outside the city are watching eagerly. Each family dare not mobilize their manpower on a large scale for fear of irritating them. It really makes no sense for a large army to enter the city.
Li Qiantang stood up first and said, "There's nothing more to say. Let's go see His Highness. As long as His Highness speaks, he will respond directly to anything. The situation has changed, and it is no longer time for us to do whatever we want."
The head of the Zhang family also stood up slowly: "We can't flee to the sea and hang out with the Japanese pirates. Let's take the initiative. Your Highness is happy. You all have dignity, so we won't be forced to death."
The expressions of the other family heads are a bit ugly. The three families have a profound background. Even if they have no income in the next ten years, they can live on the bottom line. But they can't do it. Their business and manpower are being consumed every day. If His Highness has too much appetite, he will be ruined. The fate of his family is unknown.
Especially in this world, no matter how you talk about it, it is definitely the small families like them who pay the big price in the end. This is not why the three families support them, but they have the qualifications to resist.
Magistrate Chen was the last one to stand up. He had already put down his treasure whether it was successful or not. The prince was the master of the Chen family. What he said was just to make the Li family and Zhang family recognize the reality. In the face of the grand trend, why bother? Do it like a mantis holding a chariot.
The three of them looked at each other. In fact, the Chen family and the Li family couldn't get along. Fortunately, the Zhang family was in the middle to make peace. In addition, the Chen and Li families also knew that only by working together can the entire Jiangnan family be managed. Who should be divided against each other? Can't get better.
Without the head of the Chen family, the prefect of Hangzhou, to open up the official road to the south of the Yangtze River, it would be difficult for each family to do business. Without the huge profits of the Li family from selling private salt, each family would not have so much money to invest everywhere, not to mention that the Li family has the highest combat power. Yes, even the Japanese pirates along the coast dare not provoke them.
After the decision was made, there was nothing more to say. Magistrate Chen first sent people to ask the daughters-in-law in the backyard to stay in the house, so as to avoid collisions. Feeling that it was almost done, he led a group of people towards Zhu Biao's house. Walk to the yard.
The soldiers at the front yard of his subordinates immediately went in to report. After getting the news, Zhu Biao smiled with satisfaction. In fact, he didn't need money too much now. After all, he, a crown prince, had nothing to spend money on.
As for the fact that the imperial court was short of money, it could not make money by exploiting the noble families. Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who hated businessmen so much, hoped that the Ming Dynasty's business could develop rapidly. Only when the water was prosperous could it drive the development of the entire country.
What's more, how can the family be willing to be exploited so severely? In the end, they still have to get it back from the common people. If that happens, there will be corrupt officials at the top, profiteers and wealthy families at the bottom, and Zhu Biao and his son will be stymied by the nobles. Daming Ming Dynasty When will life come back to life.
Zhu Biao's main task was to hammer it out. The interest network between the family and officials had not yet been established, and money was not so easy to use during the founding years of the People's Republic of China. It would be easier to deal with it if the rules were set at this time. In the final analysis, all they had to do when facing Zhu Biao was throw away There is no way to leave the country and leave the country.
After a while, Liu Jin came in and announced, and words of kneeling and greetings were also heard from outside. Zhu Biao walked to the desk and finished his work. He had just changed his clothes. The dragon pattern was bright and magnificent, and he also had a crown on his head. His temperament and style were no longer the same. Same.
Zhu Biao is a true nobleman. He has been from the crown prince of Wu to the crown prince of Ming Dynasty. He spent more than ten years on the Northern Expedition and Southern Tour. In the eyes of those outside, whose life and death depended on his thoughts, Zhu Biao was no different from Long Hu, and they looked at him with fear!
Anyway, this thing depends on the status gap and interests between the two parties. When we were children, we were all afraid of the teacher, because he could beat you, scold you and punish you, and he could also ask your parents to beat you, scold you and punish you again. When you grow up, It doesn’t matter if you look at the teacher again.
What people are afraid of is what the other party can do to you. No one is afraid of people who are not threatening to themselves. No one is afraid of beggars. What can a beggar do to you, but it is different when a beggar takes out a knife. Yes, that is the fatal living grandpa.
This is the case here in Zhu Biao. Even though we are in the Chen family's mansion in Hangzhou, with just one word, someone will rush in from outside the house and massacre these wealthy families. In less than three days, all the wealthy families in Jiangnan will be killed. All the people, old and young, had to go to hell and cry together.
This is the source of Zhu Biao's majesty. This feeling of powerlessness that the whole family's life and death depend on someone else's thoughts has never been felt by future generations. It is like standing naked in front of a hungry tiger.
Everyone outside the house knelt neatly. The older ones were fine. After all, they had met the princes and princes of the Yuan Dynasty decades ago. The younger ones were more nervous. They had always been aloof in this world. So, It was the first time that I knelt on the ground and waited to see a noble person.
Naturally, the heads of the three families were kneeling at the front. Magistrate Chen and the head of the Zhang family were all fine. Only Li Qiantang, a salt-trading boss who had been through the wind and blood, was trembling a little. This was the ruthless man who led the Li family to kill everyone. Man, no matter how much money you make, someone who can do this is a timid person.
Magistrate Chen smiled contemptuously, which was why he looked down on the Li family. After all, it was not a serious business. Now that he met the noble man, he was not feeling guilty.
The head of the Zhang family, who was kneeling by the side, said in a soft voice: "Our business cannot be hidden. His Highness must know about it. If we wanted to capture it, you would have captured it already. Don't think too much about it."
A forced smile appeared on Li Qiantang's vicissitudes of life; "I came out of this mountain of swords and sea of fire. I thought there was nothing to be afraid of anymore. I had enjoyed enough, but only after kneeling here did I know what it means to be scared to death."
The head of the Zhang family then said a few words of relief. Among this group of people, the Li family was the most unrighteous. The rest, even those who opened gambling houses and brothels, were still making a living. Selling illegal salt was against the law. If the prince pursued the Li family, he would definitely die.
After a while Liu Jin came out and said with a smile: "Your Highness invites you."
These people suddenly felt uneasy after slowly standing up. Fortunately, Magistrate Chen was in front of them to support them. Now they were even more determined to give up their money. They must hug His Highness's thigh so that future generations can gain a foothold in the court. .
Liu Jin smiled slightly and waved his hand. Many people suddenly appeared from everywhere. Several family heads were frightened and knelt down again. Magistrate Chen scolded: "It's just a routine inspection. Do you still want to meet His Highness the Crown Prince like this?"
