Your Highness, Jiangshan hires you

Chapter 053

All the important members of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, after confirming the news with each other, were all restless. When the people of His Royal Highness found them, the Chamber of Commerce and the Prince had reached an agreement. They thought it was perfect, but in the end they were all happy. .

They were thinking about changing the wealth in the hands of the chamber of commerce and gaining some power. In this way, they are not just merchants.

Now that this incident happened, the emperor sent imperial envoys to investigate the matter, their involvement with the officials, according to what they know now, no matter how secretive they were, they hadn't been dug out, and before that, For their future plans, the chamber of commerce and the Ministry of Household Affairs also have some benefits to transfer. If they get to that point, I am afraid that there will be no way to recover. The accumulation of the chamber of commerce for so many years and generations will undoubtedly disappear in smoke.

"President, what should we do now?"

"Yes, President, should we just wait like this?"

"Damn it, what's the problem? His Royal Highness is too unreliable in his actions. He even promised us that nothing will go wrong."

One of the important officials sighed and said: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are fighting against each other. We have made a choice. It is our own decision to come to this point. What's the use of you complaining like this? Now the emperor's imperial envoy We haven't arrived in Jiangzhou City yet, what we want to think about at the moment is how to solve it, rather than complaining here."

"You're talking lightly. Collusion between government and businessmen, power-for-money transactions, such a big hat is buckled, and the people involved in it have long been dug out. At this time, the second prince's people must be watching in secret. You can’t stop it even if you want to, tell me, how to solve it.”

Cai Tong listened to these people's agitation from the beginning to the current dispute, and said coldly, "I don't think it's messy enough. After arguing for so long, it's not enough?"

When all the important officials heard Cai Tong's angry words, they all calmed down, and they were just suppressing this breath in their hearts, unable to relieve it.

At this moment, Cai Tong suppressed the anger just now, turned to look at King Ding and Princess Ding, and said very seriously: "Prince Ding and Princess Ding came to our Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce together, and they specially brought such a case together. The big event tells us what the status of King Ding is, and it is said that even the emperor pays three respects to King Ding, and if he can work hard for King Ding, our small chamber of commerce must have something that King Ding wants, please enlighten him."

Ming Che's eyes fell on Cai Tong, and he said in a low voice: "It seems that you have some insight to become the president, but, as you said, even Xiao Mingyuan pays three respects to this king. , you little Chamber of Commerce, although in the Liuyun Dynasty, you have huge financial resources, and your real property, even the national treasury, cannot compare with you, but to this king, it is irrelevant. Money is all outside the body, But having said that, the reason why Prince Xiao Luan traded with you is because of your financial resources."

Having said that, if Cai Tong still doesn't understand Ming Che's real intentions, he is a fool, "I heard that King Ding and the Emperor agreed that the Prince Ding's House will never interfere in the affairs of the court. The crown prince and the second prince are fighting for power in order to inherit Datong, the crown prince uses the power of the officials to trade with us. From this point of view, King Ding wants us to be used by King Ding. King Ding wants to break the agreement with the emperor and intervene in the court situation. I just don’t know. Who do you choose, who do you want to support?"

"This king is not interested in Jiangshan. If this king really wanted this world, he would not have given Xiao Mingyuan a helping hand."

Cai Tong did not deny this. The person in front of him is really too mysterious. The secrets hidden in this person are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even the current emperor may not be able to know it well. He thought in his heart, Since King Ding is not interested in Jiangshan, but wants to interfere in it, the root cause, perhaps, is the people next to King Ding. Although they are not often in the imperial capital, how can they not know about the news there.

Concubine Ding who is now in front of her eyes is the ninth son of the current emperor. Everyone knows that the ninth son of the emperor is the most unfavorable, as if she does not exist, but suddenly one day, King Ding appears and takes this His Highness the Ninth Prince brought back to Prince Ding's Mansion, and declared to the outside world that this was Princess Ding.

"What King Ding said is very true." Cai Tong thought about it, said this, and continued slowly: "Now it seems that if the villain guessed correctly, the purpose of King Ding is to let the princess be able to take the throne. Bar."

"It's quite clever. He is my concubine, but he is also His Highness Ninth Prince. This king has no idea about the throne, but he can have an idea. Xiao Luan and Xiao Cheng are fighting for power, and the other princes can only become princes." As their vassal, but this king's concubine will not."

"Prince Ding wants the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce to be used by His Highness the Ninth Prince. Then, how does Prince Ding plan to help the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce solve the current predicament?"

"Solution?" Ming Che chuckled, "Your contacts with the Ministry of Officials are unquestionable, no, there is also the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Cai Tong frowned slightly, "Ding Wang not only wants to mobilize the Ministry of Officials, but also wants to take this opportunity to mobilize the Ministry of Households..."

"It's so easy to kill two birds with one stone, so I naturally want to do it. As for how to choose, the right is in your hands. I just want to remind you."

"What does King Ding want us to do?"

Ming Che glanced at Xiao Luo beside him.

Xiao Luo naturally understood, and looked at the people from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce in front of him, "Since you can't keep it, then you can simply bite back. Of course, all the people you arranged have to be on top of this this time."

"His Highness Ninth wants us to take action now and put all the responsibility on those people who have been arranged, saying that they have private contacts and have no direct relationship with us, and we also want to ignore the situation inside. Sorting out the details and presenting them?"

"Chairman Cai is unwilling to let go?" Xiao Luo asked rhetorically.

"Even if we do this, the emperor's imperial envoys have already come to Jiangzhou City, and we are too slow to take this step."

Xiao Luo immediately said: "How can you be slow? If you can arrange everything and hand it over to me overnight, those things will appear in the hands of my royal father tomorrow morning."

"How is this possible? From the imperial capital to Jiangzhou City, even if it takes three days and three nights to get there, how is it possible..." Cai Tong saw Ming Che over there, "That's right, others may not be able to do it, but It may not be possible to decide the palace."

"President Cai made a good choice?" Xiao Luo asked unhurriedly.

Cai Tong focused his eyes on Xiao Luo. From his point of view, this young man in front of him is not a humble prince who has no sense of presence in the palace. There must be something extraordinary about being favored by the king, and he has lived most of his life. , he has been in charge of the Chamber of Commerce for so many years, but the person in front of him has given him an indescribable pressure.

"I can do as His Highness Ninth Highness said, cut off all the people involved, abandon them, preserve the entire chamber of commerce, and give a detailed account of the relationship between the chamber of commerce and the Ministry of Officials and Households, but in this way , The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce completely offended His Highness the Crown Prince, and this time, we have suffered heavy losses, and all the previous investment has been wiped out. We can support His Highness Ninth, but should His Highness give us a promise?"

"This matter, do you think you still have a choice?" Xiao Luo's tone was very flat, "The testimony you provided is just to make the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households completely fall into this incident, and to make a break is for you to protect yourself The only way, otherwise, when the imperial envoy arrives in Jiangzhou City, you think that my second brother will let you go because of the relationship between you and the prince, let alone think that you can choose to attach to him, the two sides have already become deadlocked, so The situation is impossible to fix."

"His Highness Nine really surprised me. People in the imperial capital think His Highness Nine is an insignificant existence. As far as today's situation is concerned, if they see it with their own eyes, they will only feel blind." Cai Tong said bluntly, "Okay, tonight , we will prepare everything, as long as the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce survives this time, in the future, as long as it is about money, His Royal Highness can speak up.

Xiao Luo didn't take it seriously, "The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is the number one chamber of commerce in the Liuyun Dynasty, and all finances in the world are under the control of the Ministry of Households. Although the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has huge financial resources, it is still under the control of the Ministry of Accounts. You can propose to my royal father that the The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce took it out separately and became an imperial merchant. Every year, all the money handed over by your chamber of commerce goes directly to the national treasury without having to be in the hands of the Ministry of Accountancy."

"Will the emperor agree?" Cai Tong was a little confused.

"Whether you mention it or not is your business. Whether you can get my father to agree is not something you should consider." Xiao Luo said in a deep voice: "If you think you have something to do, then we won't bother you here."

Cai Tong naturally agreed, and then, the people from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce wanted to send them out, but Xiao Luo stopped them, "There's no need to send them away, it's better to prepare for your own affairs."

With that said, Xiao Luo? Han @别@投@起 gave Cai Tong and the others the location of where they lived, and asked them to send the things here after they have finished processing.

Cai Tong and others looked at the back of the person who left, and sighed heavily, "Okay, you all understand what to do now."

An important person next to him asked: "President, are we really going to let go of all those people before? Those are all us..."

"I know that those people are mostly related to us, but do you want everyone to be buried together, or give up on them?"

Everyone was silent.

"President, Ding Wang and Ding Wangfei intervened, you said, did you plan it?"

"Such a big thing, you think there is no prior arrangement, do you believe it yourself?"

Everyone is well aware, after all, at this time when King Ding and Concubine Ding came, the situation in the imperial capital has been made clear, and the development of the situation is under the control of King Ding and Concubine Ding. It's really ridiculous, the crown prince and the second prince had a dispute, but they were not the ones who benefited in the end.
