Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

"Oh, do you think your head is a red lantern?"

"You don't think it looks ugly if you hang it up, but I don't!"

"Okay, companion, give them everything."

Hang on the wall...

I didn’t raise the nine of you just to hang on the wall.

I hope Taizu’s move will not breed nine more white-eyed wolves.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengen, who was on the side, quickly took nine rolled-up yellow edicts from outside the house, and then each of them handed out one.

Another tray was brought with nine small yellow official seals on it.

"This decree is written with the word [Emperor] written by me personally."

"It represents the identity of you and other imperial merchants."

"As an imperial merchant, you can naturally be considered a member of the imperial court, so I will make you a fifth-grade [President]."

"Please keep this official seal yourself."

official seal!

Huang Zhi!

Looking at these two objects in front of him, Song Hai stared and his breathing became rapid again!

What the hell!

Am I dreaming?

They are businessmen.

You know, in the Ming Dynasty, businessmen were not qualified to be officials!

But now, His Majesty has actually given them positions!

This is equivalent to directly improving their class status.

When he thought that his colleagues would have to bow their hands in salute when they saw him in the future, Song Hai felt very proud at this moment!

"Common people, thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor's grace is mighty!

Song Hai respectfully took his share and kowtowed vigorously to thank him.

At this time, he no longer had any complaints in his heart, but was filled with a steady stream of motivation!

He can really be regarded as a glorious ancestor now!

No, I must go to the ancestral graves later.

See if there is a fire!

That's pretty much it for now.

Zhu Youjian asked Song Hai and others to stay in the capital during this trip and cooperate with the accounting office of the Ministry of Accounts to come up with a suitable charter first!

At the same time, they also gave them two teams of Jinyiwei as their early team.

Anyway, Zhu Youjian has one request: The overall framework of the bank must be put in place before the end of the year!

As soon as the new year starts, the banking matter will be officially launched!

Song Hai and others nodded repeatedly, indicating that there was no problem!

After leaving the palace gate, one of the masters couldn't help but touched his head and said with palpitations.

"Mr. Song, this still feels a bit unreal to me."

"Not only was he not beheaded, but he also gained so many benefits."

"Imperial merchant...official position..."

"It's almost like a dream."

Song Hai couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.

Not only him, but he himself was also dizzy.

This is a great bargain.

"Okay everyone, we are all smart people and should understand."

"Your Majesty's move is to rectify trade. Although we have gained a lot of benefits, we are bound to be incompatible with our colleagues."

"But there is no reason to spit out the meat you eat. Since His Majesty values ​​us, we will try our best to keep this wealth."

"Also, from today onwards, we are all His Majesty's people. Our nine families are now one, and we must never have anything to do with the border Tatars."

"Our Majesty is not an easy person to get along with. If he didn't value me and have some use, he would have done it long ago."

"So don't be greedy for petty gains, and don't delay everyone's future."

"Anyway, I, Song Hai, am only dedicated to Your Majesty. Who dares to mess around at this juncture and ruin my Song family's future as an official? Then don't blame Song for falling out."

Falling out with your peers is not a big deal.

Businessmen are chasing profits, so don't blame them for taking sides if His Majesty gives them a bigger bargaining chip.

What Song Hai is worried about is that someone in the Jiu family is now being careful.

The nine families are now tied together, and if anyone has a problem, everyone will be unlucky.

"Look at what Brother Song said. How can we be the ones who don't know how to commend ourselves? How can we end our own future?"

"Yes, Your Majesty treats me well. I won't accept anyone who dares to be a white-eyed wolf!"

"To be honest, whoever can make money by lying down is not worth doing the business of beheading."

"That's right, everyone has to work together as a team."

The people around him were not annoyed after hearing this, but instead agreed very cooperatively.

Even if Song Hai didn't say anything about this, none of them had such thoughts.

Being an official is the biggest dream of these businessmen!

Not only for yourself but also for future generations!

Now as long as he can maintain his status as an imperial merchant, he will have a stable fifth-grade official position in his hands.

This alone is enough for them to throw their lives and blood!

Who dares to lose this official position? They are really capable of killing people!

"Okay, in that case, why don't you follow me to the restaurant to get together."

“This bank issue still requires everyone’s joint efforts.”

"I'm treating you today, and everyone is open to eating, which can be regarded as getting acquainted with each other."

Seeing that everyone was very understanding, Song Hai suggested with a wave of his hand.

Immediately, this proposal was approved by everyone.

It's time for a meal!

No matter what happens in the future, the nine of them must keep at the same pace.

After learning that Song Hai and the others were going out, they went out to drink.

Zhu Youjian, who was busy with something, smiled and didn't care.

Now that the bank affairs have been arranged, we have to prepare for another big thing!

Once this year is over, it will be the first year of Chongzhen...

The era that belongs to him, Zhu Youjian, is finally about to begin!

-----------------------

On the other side, Song Hai and others successfully escaped from the palace.

Many officials have also noticed their actions.

Rumors in the palace are that the bank matter has entered the preparation stage, but no one knows how to implement it.

After Guo Yunhou, the Minister of Revenue, learned about it, he originally wanted to inquire about it, but in the end he decided against it.

His Majesty's affairs are something he rarely thinks about, and even if he inquires about them, he doesn't have the energy to take care of them.

Just this household matter is enough to give him a headache.

However, although Guo Yunhou is not interested, it does not mean that others are not interested.

After some inquiring, although I didn’t hear any useful information, I learned something shocking!

These nine people all wore official seals!

Looking at the grade, is it still a fifth grade?

hiss!

Too much!

They are just a few businessmen, how can they be qualified to serve as officials in the same court as them!

This is simply a great humiliation to scholars!

Businessmen harm the country!

Simply stupid!

As soon as the news came out, all the scholars in the capital became angry!

After two days of fermentation, at the end of November, nearly a hundred students gathered at the gate of the imperial city under the leadership of several censors.

Then he knelt down on the ground and started crying!

When the news reached the palace, Zhu Youjian, who was still happy about conquering the nine Song Hai people, exploded instantly!

"What a big dog!"

"It's just the censor. After all, he has the right to do so."

"Where did those students from the Imperial College get the courage?"

"How dare you participate in the imperial court's decision!"

In the side hall, Zhu Youjian threw the tea cup to the ground and cursed angrily!

When did a group of students dare to question the emperor's decision?

You don’t want your head anymore, right?

"If I remember correctly, we should have made a rule during the Hongwu Year."

"It's called [Only Living Members Not Allowed]..."

"Tsk, it seems that these scholars really read to their asses."

"Wang Chengen!"

"Let Tian Ergen lead the imperial guards to seal the palace gate."

"Don't let anyone go who dares to come and cry today!"

Not only Zhu Youjian was angry, but Li Chen who was thinking about something in the side hall was also angry!

It's these idiots again who are so full that they are causing trouble here.

Originally, Li Chen didn't want to cause trouble to these scholars at this time.

But since everyone has arrived at your door, let’s clean up first!
