"Believe it, of course I believe it. We have made a lot of money by following the Chamber of Commerce in the past two years!" They are not stupid. Many of them only had a small fortune two years ago, but after following the Chamber of Commerce, their net worth has skyrocketed.
Not only did he have the support of Prince Wu and the prince, he no longer had trouble doing business, but he also did business with the imperial court and honored his ancestors.
Some people invested in Fengyang, got archways, were included in the county annals, and even received awards from the imperial court.
It can be said that I am very satisfied.
And now, who wouldn’t want to join in the fun of such a good thing as opening up the sea?
Many people were too slow to follow Zhu Jun, and they did not have a share in the city plan for constructing municipal pipelines for municipalities directly under the central government.
It would be foolish not to seize the opportunity.
However, three thousand materials is indeed a lot. If a small boat can collect it, it will be no problem. But Xiao Yu’s ship with eight hundred materials is not required, which will test his strength.
Those who have ships with thousands of materials or even more than a thousand materials are inherently powerful businessmen.
And what should I do if some people don’t have the strength, or are even close?
Then partner up and win the spot together.
Seeing that they all agreed, Shen Dabao said with a smile: "Remember, this is just the beginning, and it has not been disclosed to the public yet. If it is publicized and something goes wrong, it will be bad.
Moreover, when it comes to opening up the sea, everyone wants to take a share of the pie.
Everyone knows the reason why we have such a good thing, and we all know who we rely on to get the opportunity. "
Everyone couldn't help but nod, they were not fools for this kind of thing.
No one wants to give away the benefits they receive to others.
And currently only Yintian Chamber of Commerce has this opportunity, so others are not jealous?
impossible.
"Don't worry, Director Shen, we are all strict-mouthed people and we will definitely not spread the word."
"If anyone dares to talk nonsense outside, I, Lao Hu, will be the first to not spare him!"
Shen Dabao smiled and nodded, "Just tell the outside world that the Chamber of Commerce will lend you your boat to do business. There is no need to say anything else."
"We can save it!"
"Time is tight, we must get it together within two days. If you don't wait until the expiration date, the meeting will be dismissed!" Shen Dabao stood up and left.
Everyone gathered together to discuss.
A powerful businessman will naturally not share a quota with others.
Merchants who are not strong enough can only call their friends to get the quota.
At this time, someone asked: "Is it enough to collect only three thousand materials? What if it is more?"
"It goes without saying that the more, the better. Don't you know the rules of the Chamber of Commerce? The greater the contribution, the greater the benefits. This has always been the case!"
"Yes, yes, we have to gather more ships, and the Chamber of Commerce will not let us suffer anyway.
At that time, we will be the first batch of people to eat crabs, and we will definitely make a lot of money!
I have to say that making money by following the Chamber of Commerce is a pleasure.
No need to worry about being in trouble, let alone being watched!
All you need to do is pay taxes on time, and the court will provide you with various assistance, which is really refreshing! "
These words expressed everyone's thoughts, and they all nodded in agreement.
...
The news soon spread to the East Palace. After receiving the news, Zhu Yu frowned, "Why does Liu want so many ships?
Going overseas to do business?
No, could it be that he was going to sea to suppress bandits? "
The father did not give Lao Liu too many ships, and to gather enough ships not only required silver, but those big ships could not be bought with silver.
Lao Liu made rumors about the opening of the sea, and did not say the exact time. It was clear that it was fishing.
"This kid is so smart!" Zhu Yu smiled, not feeling anything wrong at all. If there is no chance, create opportunities. This is what a smart person should do.
However, he is also a little worried. There are many pirates in Ningbo Prefecture, and there is also a Tongjia Town that may become rebellious at any time.
The danger is not small.
Although he was worried, he was not overly anxious. He knew very well that this was the only way Zhu Jun could reach maturity.
If he is too careful, it will hinder his growth.
If Zhu Jun fully grows up one day, the immature idea in his heart may be able to be realized.
"Does the navy still have a few idle large ships?" Zhu Yu asked.
"Back to Your Highness, there are two more large ships with thousands of materials!"
"Drag him out and send him to Lao Liu's side!" Zhu Yu said.
The subordinate officials in the East Palace were all confused, "Your Highness, that is the navy's new ship..."
"Idle time is idle. Since Lao Liu wants to do business, let him use it first!" Zhu Yu is also a smart man. Zhu Jun is spreading false news outside, which is clearly to confuse everyone. As the eldest brother, he must help A handful.
"Your Highness, you can't do that. What His Highness King Wu has done has damaged the majesty of the imperial court. Why don't you..."
"Stop being so noisy, just go if you are told!" Zhu Yu said impatiently.
The subordinate officer was also stubborn and refused to go, which made Zhu Yu very angry. "Okay, if you don't want to go, let's find someone else to go!"
Soon, the news that Zhu Yu gave Zhu Jun two navy ships with thousands of materials reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears.
Looking at the impeachment Qingliu below, Zhu Yuanzhang also reacted, "What on earth does this kid want to do?
That was the property of the imperial court. How could he do business with that kid Lao Liu? "
"Yes, Your Majesty, isn't this nonsense?" Song Lian said with a bitter smile: "I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup King Wu poured into His Highness the Crown Prince. This kind of thing can also be a child's play."
"We know about this. If you go down, I will definitely reprimand the prince severely." Zhu Yuanzhang said perfunctorily.
Everyone was stunned. Is it enough to just reprimand the prince?
“Your Majesty, and the King of Wu, it’s so outrageous that they just want to run their own business and drag the prince into the water.
What does he need with so many boats and so many things for him to haul?
Is it possible that he still wants to go to sea? "
Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, isn't it just going to the sea?
"Okay, we will reprimand you when the time comes. Now that the capital is about to be moved, there are too many things going on in the court, so please don't cause trouble for us." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Go back, I will teach these two useless things a lesson. "
Seeing that Lao Zhu's attitude was okay, Song Lian didn't push too hard. He also knew that there were a lot of things in the court recently, so he left with his people.
But after walking out of Fengtian Hall, a person said: "Your Majesty hasn't said that he wants the boat back."
"Okay, your Majesty has said so, how can you let the King of Wu do this?" Song Lian sighed, "Lu Ben's matter hasn't been over yet, there are many things in the court, and your Majesty is not in a good mood, let's just stop it when it's good! "
"That's right, stop it when you see fit, so as not to anger His Majesty!"
...
Two days later, Zhu Jun looked at the ship register in his hand and was overjoyed, "Okay, great. In just two days, 80,000 materials were gathered."
With these 80,000 materials, plus the ship in his hand, the total number of materials exceeds 150,000 materials.
Time is still tight. If more time is given, more than 200,000 materials will not be a problem.
With so many ships, it is easy to carry 30,000 to 50,000 people!
After closing the ship's register, Zhu Jun was determined, "It's time to set off!"
