Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 224 Are You Waiting To Test Whether This King's Sword Is Sharp?

"His Royal Highness wants to take our Suzhou businessman to do this business."

"I just don't know, what will our Suzhou merchants have to pay?"

Zhao Yunyan said respectfully.Hearing his question, the rest of the excited businessmen immediately calmed down.

Yes, who doesn't know that going out to sea and going back and forth is a hundred times and a thousand times more beneficial.Although it may not be so profitable to go to and from Liaodong, the road only needs to pass through Ryukyu and Korea.

A hundred times may not be achieved, but if you follow this route again and again, dozens of times the profit is still more than enough.

Since there is such an advantage, why doesn't the Fifth Highness take over all the positions on the grain ship?Great, just bring a Shen family.

With the current wealth of the Shen family, what fleet of cargo holds he can't fill?
Why should they be cheap for businessmen who have never met before?

In the lower compartment, Shen Wang was also anxious and his forehead was covered with hot sweat.The lord knew such news, why didn't he make a fortune with my Shen family, but told these people?

If it was normal, Shen Wang would definitely try to disrupt Huang's banquet, and then explain the pros and cons to the prince, so that the palace and the Shen family can monopolize this big business.It was only yesterday that he was reprimanded by Zhu Su, but today he did not dare to act recklessly.In my heart, I only thought that the prince was still angry with the Shen family, and deliberately divided the business to make him anxious.

"Of course there is a price." Zhu Su said.My heart grew fond of this businessman with a square face who was always frowning.

It is very rare to be able to remain calm in the face of interests.

Such a person is the one who knows how to advance and retreat.

Seeing that the merchants below were looking forward to it, they all looked at him eagerly.Zhu Su smiled slightly, Erlang's legs turned up, and he reclined on the chair without any image. He spread the folding fan in his hand, and the huge four characters "convincing people with virtue" appeared on the fan.

"My lord heard that you waited for the Suzhou merchants to hoard a lot of food when the flood first started?"

"I believe that I, a businessman in Suzhou, shouldn't be so rich and unkind, and do such hoarding in disaster years?"

"..."

After all, the topic turned to hoarding food in the end!

As soon as this statement came out, the atmosphere in the field suddenly turned cold.Many businessmen, who were fascinated by the profits of sea freight, froze, showing a bit of unnaturalness.

"Everyone, don't panic." Seeing the cold scene, Zhu Su continued.

"Isn't this king trying to steal your food reserves by chance? I've always hated those barbaric methods the most! Convince people with virtue." He waved the folding fan in his hand.

"only……"

There was a bright light in his eyes.

"From now on, the remaining cargo space of the imperial court's grain transport ships will be limited after all."

"How to distribute it depends on your sincerity."

"This king is now entrusted by his father and His Royal Highness, and the only things he cares about are disaster relief and flood control."

"And both of these are inseparable from the word 'grain'!"

"So, from now on, we have to use this 'auction' method to let everyone bid for the position of the cargo compartment of the grain transport ship."

"And the capital for this bidding... No copper coins, nor gold or silver. This king... just needs food!"

"Whoever sells the most food will get the most share of the cargo space...Everyone, do you have a bid?"

With a smile on his face, Zhu Su shook his folding fan lightly, and looked at the businessmen in Suzhou with an inexplicable smile on his face.A group of businessmen were stunned. You looked at me and I looked at you, with strange expressions on their faces.

Why don't you say that you won't take advantage of it and go around, why don't you ask them to hand over the stockpiled food?

What you said about the Silk Road at the beginning turned out to be just courtesy first and soldiers later... If you really bid for the shipping space, you should tell me how many shipping seats there are!

A group of wealthy businessmen below were silently communicating with each other with their eyes. Under Zhu Su's gaze, there was not even a single person who bid first.

For a while, apart from the sound of Zhu Su fanning his fan, he could hear a needle drop.

"Your Highness, I don't know." It was the horse salt merchant who stood up and bowed to Zhu Su, with a bitter face on his face and sighed: "When there is a disaster year, I wait for the rich to panic!"

"Those common people have no permanent property, so they can't help their children to be refugees and flee to Yingtian. We have already taken root in Suzhou, so how can we get away?"

"There are a lot of people in the family, so I have to stock up on more food, so I can feel more at ease. Who knows, will this flood last for ten or eight years?"

"Yes." Another businessman stood up. "Your Highness does not know, we are not hoarding maliciously."

"First, Ru Yushi came to ask us for food, and we also donated."

"Just my family donated five hundred shi of food and grass!"

"The food we are waiting for is also collected from real gold and silver. If we don't have a heart of loyalty and patriotism, how can we wait to donate so much food and grass to Ru Yushi?"

"That's right. In order to collect these grains, I can be said to have lost my entire family... I don't even have 100 taels of floating wealth in my family." The horse salt merchant continued to sell miserably. "First donated six hundred stones to Ru Yushi, and my Ma family has given up everything."

"Yes, yes..." A group of businessmen immediately nodded in agreement.They are all shrewd people, how can they not see that the prince has said so much, but in fact, his heart is still plotting to hoard food?
What kind of shipping cargo hold, even if it is true, it still has no shadow.There is no such thing as safe food that is already in hand.

Now that there is a horseman who is the first bird, the group of people naturally have an excuse, and at this time they all follow the limelight and frown, and sell miserably to Zhu Su.

"Oh? So, you are hoarding food because you are worried that your family will be hungry in this disaster year, and you don't have the slightest intention to hoard food?" Zhu Su smiled.

"That's right, that's right." A group of wealthy businessmen all nodded their heads.

"I see." The smile on Zhu Su's face remained unchanged.The word "convincing people with virtue" was abruptly retracted in his hand, and he opened his hand and stretched out to the right.The dog standing on the right naturally understood, and handed an account book to Zhu Su. Zhu Su flipped it over, leaned on the chair and read aloud:
"Huang Shiyi, who lives in the Huang Mansion in the east of the city. The mansion stores more than [-] shi of grain."

As soon as these words came out, a short and fat man in the crowd trembled suddenly, his mouth opened wide as if his throat had been choked.

"Shi Daoyuan, who lives in Shiyuan in the east of the city, stores more than [-] stones of grain in the mansion."

"Hong Benxiao, who lives in Guangyuan in the north of the city, stores more than [-] shi of grain in the mansion."

"Zhai Jian, who lives in the Zhai Mansion in the north of the city, stores more than [-] shi of grain in the mansion."

"Ma Fengsun, who lives in the Clumsy Garden in the south of the city, stores more than [-] shi of food in the mansion..."

……

Every time a line is recited, among the crowd, there is a wealthy businessman who can no longer speak as if he has been cursed.In the end, none of the group of people dared to cry another word.In the hall, except for the sound of Zhu Su's chanting, the previous state where the needle drop could be heard was restored again.

At the end of reading, Zhu Su got tired of reading, and threw the account book away.

"Wait who can explain."

"There is so much food... Are your relatives in your family full of rice buckets, or are they all demons?"

"Come here just by opening your mouth in front of me... Could it be that you want to test whether the king's sword is sharp?"

Zhu Su finally wanted to see him.On his face, however, there was a majesty that was exactly the same as that of Lao Zhu.

Although sitting at the top, his voice seems to come from Jiuyou!
　In other words, some people said in the comment area that I was a studio mass-produced article, and some people simply slandered me as an AI?

please!I wish I was ai too!With just a few clicks like this, millions of words can be generated directly.Why am I still working so hard to look up information, choose words and make sentences?

As for the fact that I belong to the studio, the studio of Shen Te Miao, which studio has I seen that suffers as much as I do and only changes when I get home from get off work every day?

You can’t say that I’m a studio just because the title of my book is like a studio, right?As for the title of the book, I am also very helpless, otherwise I will not be able to attract people...

It's really a studio. I've already told you about steam engines, tanks, rocket launchers, and even cultivating immortals, which directly crush the world.

Don't worry, everyone.I am not a studio nor an AI.This book will not be written indiscriminately, nor will it be randomly cut to pieces.One foot into the web, although the grades are not good, but I really want to start well and end well.

The story has only just begun, and the Zhu family brothers have not yet begun to roam the world.I also know that there are bad things written in front of me. I really learned a lot when I wrote a book for the first time.I will try my best to write better later!

Originally, I didn’t write the author’s words for the sake of impressions. Now that I have written it, I would like to thank you by the way. I would like to thank the big brothers Tongyuan Liangsi, Lanmo Mingxing, Sulong and other big brothers for their rewards!Thanks to Yushu Feidu, Commander Xiaoyao, Wentian Shengzun and other bigwigs for their monthly ticket rewards!
There are also many recommendation votes and comments from big guys!I really learned a lot, and the author of Vegetable Chicken is grateful!
