The equity book fills two pages.
"Zhang, are you trying to trick me? Why do you feel something is wrong?"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't recognize all the words, so he read it in a daze, and then signed and deposited it according to Zhang Zhou's instructions.
Obviously, the child is starting to have a brain.
Zhu Houzhao took his own share in duplicate and wanted to study it, but regarding the shares, rights, risks, etc., after just a few glances, he was confused.
Zhang Zhou dried the ink mark of Zhu Houzhao's signature on his body and said, "Prince, you don't have any money, what can I do to you?"
"That's true, but why does it always feel weird?"
Zhu Houzhao was puzzled.
Zhang Zhou smiled secretly in his heart.
I have been taking the lead in this matter from the beginning, and you are being used by me. It seems that you share half of the profits, but it doesn't cost much to open a bookstore, and your name is still loud and clear.
And this equity document has been signed. Regardless of whether it has legal effect or not, I will take it out to bluff people anyway.
Let’s see which powerful person dares to come and cause trouble!
An equity book was revealed, scaring them to death!
When you become an adult and become emperor, this thing will be even more valuable.
Doing business with the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, or even the future emperor... the prospects are endless just thinking about it.
"Prince, please rest assured. We are making a fortune together. Let's count the money later."
Paint cake.
Zhang Zhou is professional.
…
…
Zhang Zhou walked out of the palace with the equity letter signed by Zhu Houzhao himself.
Outside the palace, Zhu Feng was already waiting. Today he specially put on the outfit of a royal guard.
"Brother Zhang, I have something to ask you. Can we talk while walking?"
Zhu Feng asked Zhang Zhou to get on his carriage.
Zhang Zhou raised his hand to stop him from approaching, his words were cold: "Please keep a distance and say what you want. I don't have time to chat with you today. After that, you can go on your way. I have my carriage. Don't interfere with each other." "
Zhu Feng said: "Today's bidding matter has come to fruition. I won a big victory. I was about to invite you to have a drink with me. By the way, Uncle Chang Ning also wants to meet you."
Zhang Zhou shook his head and said: "I said you know the truth, haven't you understood it yet? Bidding is the Zhou family's business. If you are close to them and you let me get involved, don't others think that I am seeking personal gain from public affairs?" ? Ask them to provide materials properly and don’t think about cheating or cheating, I won’t go!”
"this……"
Zhu Feng was obviously entrusted by Zhou Yu again and wanted to introduce him.
But Zhang Zhou didn't appreciate it.
Zhang Zhoucai is too lazy to pay attention to Zhu Feng. If you want to save face for others, you don't want to lose face for others?
"Brother Zhang, don't go. There is one more curious thing. Aren't you going to have to compete with the scholars from Shuntian Prefecture in two days to learn? I just heard that Tang Yin has also set up an arena. The day after tomorrow, you will compete with the scholars from Shuntian Prefecture. On that day, I invite you over and tell you that I will let you have a competition first, and whoever wins will be qualified to represent the Jiangnan scholars!"
Zhu Feng brought another news to Zhang Zhou.
When Tang Yin heard that Zhang Zhou challenged the northern scholars, he, who claimed to be the most talented person in the south of the Yangtze River, was naturally unwilling to do so.
Who represents the Jiangnan scholars has become the focus of the confrontation.
Zhang Zhoudao: "I am Jie Yuan. I won the Qiu Wei examination fair and aboveboard. One of my subordinates was defeated. Why should I give him a chance? As Jie Yuan, I represent the Jiangnan scholars, and do I have to get his consent?"
"That means...not going?"
Zhang Zhou said coldly: "I will not do anything to debase myself. Let the students from Shuntian Mansion wash their necks and wait for me to kill them!"
"Okay, okay... let's talk about something else?"
"I have something going on at home, so I won't accompany you!"
Zhang Zhou got on his carriage directly. Now he is going to open a bookstore in partnership with Zhu Houzhao. There are a lot of things to arrange.
As a tool man, Zhu Feng, how could Zhang Zhou put so much thought into this boy if he was so stingy?
…
…
Shouninghou Mansion.
When Zhang Heling received a message from his sister from the palace, he knew that it was no longer feasible to follow the Queen's advice, so he quickly called his younger brother Zhang Yanling.
"...The Zhou family is so bullying. They only offer a price of 65,000 taels! Do they want to pay for it with death? Why don't sister stand up for us?"
Zhang Yanling was very angry when he heard about this.
But at best, it can only be incompetent and furious.
The brothers' stupidity, as well as their arrogance and domineering, were well-known among the powerful circles of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Heling said: "Who says otherwise! I heard that the Empress Dowager went to see her brother-in-law in person, and made it clear that she relied on her elders and betrayed her. My brother-in-law is the most filial piety. As a result, it's hard for my sister to speak!"
"Then what should we do? I thought this was a sure thing before, so I bought so many goods and left them in the yard to attract bugs?"
"Second brother, I asked you not to buy so much goods. I want you to take a look first before talking. It's better for you. If you can't sell it, how much money will you lose?"
"Boss, you can't be shameless. Didn't you insist on buying back the batch of bricks from the demolition of the city wall in Tongzhou at a low price? Now that there is no way out, you blame me for the bricks rotting in your hands."
Before the brothers could reach a consensus, they started to quarrel.
After all, Zhang Heling was older and a little calmer, and said: "Let's not argue for now, we can't suffer the consequences of being dumb this time! I thought about it for my brother, and asked my uncle to find an official to interrogate the Zhou family and the family. The people in the palace who are responsible for purchasing wood and stone colluded secretly to pass off inferior products as good ones! In the name of the minister, they put pressure on my brother-in-law! Add my sister and let us work in both directions... Then the Zhou family will be left with nothing to eat!"
"feasible?"
Zhang Yanling was doubtful.
We brothers are usually the target of Yan Guan's impeachment. This time we actually teamed up with Yan Guan to impeach someone else?
This road is...a bit circuitous.
"It's okay. Uncle Shen Lu has caused a lot of trouble recently regarding Li Guang's affairs. Many people who followed his path to get an official position were dismissed, and some people asked him to return their money. He needs us brothers to help him with activities. This time he I found someone and gave him advice. He said that as long as the force is used properly, His Majesty will believe it. Don’t think that you can get preferential treatment if you are a member of the Zhou family.”
"Okay, big brother, I will listen to you. Most of the goods we have are sold to others... If we can't sell them, we will just wait to send them to the palace!"
…
…
Together they impeached the two brothers of the Zhou family and submitted the memorial to Goulian, the eunuch and the Ministry of Works.
As the eunuch of the East Factory, Xiao Jing was also a direct participant in the matter, and he was afraid of taking responsibility. After seeing the memorial, the eunuch of the ceremonial department hurriedly went to seek Zhu Youtang's opinion on behalf of the eunuch of the ceremonial department.
Zhu Youtang was still sitting in the imperial garden admiring the scenery, talking and laughing with Dai Yi.
"What's up?"
Seeing Xiao Jing's nervous look, Zhu Youtang probably guessed that there was something in the court waiting for him to decide.
Dai Yi also smiled and said, "We'll talk about things later when we get back. Your Majesty is listening to Mr. Zhang. He's been on a tour in the garden. Your Majesty has gotten much better these past two days. Don't worry about your Majesty's affairs all the time."
Xiao Jing didn't reply.
However, he stepped forward with his head down and placed in front of Zhu Youtang the memorandum that Lin Tingyu had submitted to Lin Tingyu in the matter.
As Zhu Youtang stared at the content of the memorial, his expression gradually became grim.
"Is it true?"
After Zhu Youtang finished reading, he looked sideways at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry's bidding matters are all the rules set by Mr. Zhang. As for who to choose and who not to choose, Your Majesty should also know the whole story."
"Um."
Zhu Youtang nodded.
Judging from the bidding price alone, both parties bid voluntarily, and the selection of the Zhou brothers to supply the goods was fair and open.
"In the story reported by Yan Guan, it was mentioned that the Second Young Master Zhu of Chengguo Palace provided a large amount of wood to the Zhou family. The material of this batch of wood and stone... no one knows. It is also because of the low price. Too many, maybe... will arouse suspicion."
