Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Hongyu and his party did not wait long outside the Qinzheng Hall before they were summoned in by the chamberlain.

    Hattori Chizuru, Roderny, and Mrs. Wang all followed Zhao Hongyu to see the Emperor of Heaven. Originally, it was impossible for the three of them to meet Zhu Shangwu.

    However, for Bai Huahua¡¯s five million taels of silver, it was not impossible for Zhu Shangwu to make an exception and meet them.

    Who makes Zhao Hongyu rich?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you have money, you are the father.

    Zhu Shangwu is short of money, but Zhao Hongyu is rich.

    So, there is nothing wrong with those who are short of money to please the rich.

    This is what Zhu Shangwu is doing now.

    Besides, Zhu Shangwu also wanted to see what these rich people from America looked like.

    ¡°And these rich people are not just ordinary people, they are all descendants of the Zhao and Song dynasties who perished hundreds of years ago.

    Just for this point, it¡¯s worth making an exception for Zhu Shangwu, isn¡¯t it?

    However, when Zhao Hongyu and the others walked in, Zhu Shangwu was a little disappointed.

    When the leader, Zhao Hongyu, arrived, his eyes lit up. Zhu Shangwu saw something completely different from the Ming Dynasty people in terms of clothing and demeanor.

    This is a feeling, a feeling that cannot be expressed in words.

    This feeling made him feel novel.

    However, he was disappointed when he saw Roderney, Hattori Chizuru, and Mrs. Wang dressed in the attire of a Mingren Confucian scholar following Zhao Hongyu.

    ??????????????? Why are there Franco and Japanese people following the American crown prince?

    This is really strange.

    Zhu Shangwu is no stranger to the Folangji people and the Japanese.

    Those priests from European churches had already come to the capital in the Ming Dynasty and had an audience with the Ming Emperor.  Just four years ago, a French priest from Spain came to the capital.

    It¡¯s just that the purpose of these priests coming to the East is to develop the power of their churches.

    This goal is of course impossible to achieve.

    But precisely because of this, Zhu Shangwu was no longer so unfamiliar with these yellow-haired and blue-eyed Europeans.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:??

    Therefore, many Japanese businessmen would occasionally come to the Ming Dynasty to do business.

    At the same time, the shogunate will also send envoys to the Ming Dynasty to meet with the emperor.

    In the early years, when Zhu Shangwu ascended the throne, he saw Japanese people.

    Therefore, the Japanese are not unfamiliar at all.

    But for Zhu Shangwu, whether they were Japanese or Folangji people, they were all people of a small foreign country, and Zhu Shangwu looked down on them from the bottom of his heart.

    I felt some affinity towards Zhao Hongyu, who was also of Chinese blood and a member of the imperial family a hundred years ago.

    Possibly, this is the relationship between them being of the same Yanhuang bloodline.

    Entering the Qinzheng Hall, Master Wang knelt down and paid homage.

    Hattori Chizuru also knelt on the ground and performed Japanese etiquette on Zhu Shangwu.

    Roderney knelt down on one knee and performed the European knight's salute.

    Only Zhao Hongyu stood there, and he just bowed his hand to Zhu Shangwu.

    After seeing this, Eunuch Xue, who was standing next to Zhu Shangwu, couldn't help feeling anxious.

    Because Zhao Hongyu¡¯s behavior is really unreasonable.

    If one thing goes wrong, it is not impossible for Zhu Shangwu to get angry and have someone push Zhao Hongyu out to behead him.

    " However, Zhu Shangwu didn't care about this at the time.

    After all, in the eyes of Zhu Shangwu, Zhao Hongyu is the great God of Wealth.

    What they brought was five million taels of silver, plus one million shi of grain.

    So, this little bit of unreasonableness is nothing.

    Of course, Zhu Shangwu himself is also a weirdo. If it were a different emperor, Zhao Hongyu might really be in trouble.

    After some introductions and pleasantries, Zhu Shangwu still couldn't hold back and asked directly to the topic.

    "I heard someone say that you are going to lend me five million taels of silver? Is this true?"

    After Zhu Shangwu asked, he felt that he was a little too anxious.

    How can you ask this matter so directly? You should be more tactful.

     Although he had some regrets in his heart, now that he has asked all the questions, regrets are of no use, right?

    ¡°And no matter how tactfully we say it, we still have to talk about this issue in the end.

    "Look at the people in the Qinzheng Palace. Except for Eunuch Xue and a few chamberlains, Zhu Shangwu has even withdrawn his guards.

    The reason is that I don¡¯t want more people to know about borrowing money, and it can be regarded as saving face for myself.

    Since the people around you are all eunuchs, you can just ask.

    Zhao Hongyu was also stunned for a moment, because he also felt that Zhu Shangwu's question was too direct.

    At the same time, Zhao Hongyu's heart was still agitated.

    The reason is very simple, because the Ming Emperor he is facing now is not the short-lived ghost Chongzhen he knew at all, but a young fat man named Zhu Shangwu.

    Zhao Hongyu knew that maybe the history of Ming Dynasty would also start to go awry.

    Otherwise, how could this guy named Zhu Shangwu appear out of thin air?

    You must know that in the time and space where Zhao Hongyu was, there was no such person named Zhu Shangwu.

    But in this time and space, Zhu Shangwu actually existed and appeared in front of him.

    Grandma¡¯s!

    This time, I have completely messed up time and space.

    But it¡¯s okay, since history has gone awry, I can just continue to stir my little wings.

    After a brief shock, Zhao Hongyu quickly recovered.

    For a time-traveler, can the problems he encounters now be bigger than if the whole person has time-traveled?

    ?Obviously, this is impossible.

    And Zhao Hongyu, who has lived in this era for more than three years, has also seen great improvements in his mental toughness.

    From the initial shock to recovery, it only took such a short period of time.

    At this moment, Zhu Shangwu just finished speaking.

    "Your Majesty, it was true that the price of five million taels of silver and one million dan of grain was true at that time. This is absolutely true. I guarantee it with my head!"

    Zhao Hongyu stood there and answered loudly.

    After Zhu Shangwu waited anxiously for Zhao Hongyu's response, he finally let go of his worries.

    "Hurry! Hurry! Take a seat!"

    Zhu Shangwu took a look and saw that he was still standing there.

    Although there is no need to be so polite to Zhao Hongyu, he who has nothing to do now has money.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off. I¡¯ll use the five million taels of silver and give them a seat myself.

    You know, Zhu Shangwu has been having a headache for a long time because of the Yinzi incident.

    Especially the military situation in Liaodong is critical, and the Jurchen army outside the capital is approaching the city. These require money and food to solve.

    Without money and food, all this would be difficult.

    Which is more important or less important? Even a weirdo like Zhu Shangwu understands.

    Soon, the waiter brought a stool.

    Zhao Hongyu sat down immediately without being polite.

    The next topic basically revolves around borrowing money and how and when it will be repaid.

    After all, this was the first time he borrowed money. Zhu Shangwu had never had such an experience, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and at a loss.

    Thinking about it, Zhu Shangwu, as the proud son of heaven, was born to be the emperor.

    Since he was a child, he has never worried about money.

    Not to mention borrowing money.

    If he needs it, it¡¯s just a matter of words.

    The people around him would have prepared it for him long ago.

    But now it¡¯s different. Zhu Shangwu is worried about the military situation in Liaodong and the Jurchen army outside the capital.

    Therefore, he had to hurry up and ask others to borrow money first.

    Regarding the matter of borrowing money, it didn¡¯t take much effort and was decided quickly.

    Zhao Hongyu deliberately lent money to Zhu Shangwu to help him survive this crisis, and continued to fight with the Jurchens after the disaster.

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu did not embarrass the Emperor too much.

    However, it is still necessary to set up some small obstacles.

    Otherwise, how could he carry out his plan?

    Only after making His Majesty the Emperor feel embarrassed can his plan go smoothlyThe implementation.

    "Five million taels of silver and one million shi of grain. Your Highness can pay it back to me next year. As for the interest, I will ask for less, just a little less than what ordinary people outside lend money to. If your Highness pays back the money then, I will give you 30%."  Take advantage."

    Poof!

    After hearing this, Eunuch Xue, who was standing next to Zhu Shangwu, couldn't hold back and almost sprayed out.

    Well, loan sharking was actually placed on the emperor.

    It has to be said that this crown prince from America is also a wonderful flower that can compete with His Majesty.

    However, what made Eunuch Xue even more unexpected was that his majesty, who liked to study spring painting techniques, actually nodded in agreement with a grateful look on his face.

    My God.

    Your Majesty, don¡¯t you know how much this 30% profit is?

    Five million taels of silver will have to be paid back to 6.5 million taels by then.

    If you don¡¯t pay out yet, the compounding of profits will be incredible.

    Although Eunuch Xue is a member of the palace, he is no stranger to business such as loan sharking.

    In fact, eunuchs like them who have some influence in the palace will occasionally find people outside to help them lend money.

    "Your Majesty, did you agree too quickly? Do you know how much the 30% profit is?"

    At this moment, Eunuch Xue couldn't help himself anymore, so he whispered to remind his emperor.

    At this time, Zhu Shangwu was still immersed in the excitement of having solved a big problem for Ming Dynasty.

    Originally he thought it would be difficult to borrow money, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be so easy.

    "As for Zhao Hongyu, he didn't take five million taels of silver seriously at all. He just thought it was like playing house, and he settled with Zhu Shangwu, a weirdo.

    This made everyone around him feel very incredible.

    Five million taels of silver and one million stones of grain, is it so easy?

    Damn it, this is so disrespectful.

    Others don¡¯t know, but the eunuchs around Zhu Shangwu know the detailed situation in the Ming Dynasty¡¯s treasury.

    "How much is a 30% profit? I don't think it's a lot. Besides, ordinary people also pay attention to making a profit when borrowing money. Since I asked His Highness the Crown Prince to borrow so much money, can't I even give some interest? What if?  If I spread the word, wouldn't it make people laugh at me for being stingy?"

    After Zhu Shangwu heard this, he responded blankly.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
