Although he said things like "what is intolerable and what is intolerable", I still didn't have the guts to really ask these southeastern businessmen to do anything.

He spoke with pride, and when he was about to do something, he couldn't do it without anyone taking the lead. Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Fang, the oldest.

The Zhou family is one of the largest families in the southeast. Although there is a traitor in the family, now everyone thinks about it.

What's more, we still have to rely on the Zhou family.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you think about this matter?"

"I still need you, Mr. Zhou, to take the lead."

Is this really useful?

Zhou Fang was not confident. He had just come to Zouma Town and was disgusted by the Dog Emperor.

At this time, Zhou Fang also understood that not only them, but also the entire wealthy families in the southeast were being plotted by the emperor.

As the old saying goes, the goods will die when they reach the ground.

The dog emperor made them lose millions with just one move. This is simply heartbreaking. If they don't sell, the goods will rot in the warehouse.

There was no advanced preservation technology in this feudal era. Although silk and tea could be stored for several years, it was very rainy in Jinling.

Can you count on the warehouse not leaking? When it rains, all those things will be ruined.

Forget it, in fact, the most disgusting thing is that the emperor's young man is buying it at a low price.

The Dog Emperor is willing to pay for it even though he can rob it.

Do you think it's disgusting or not?

This is simply a distortion of human nature.

Zhou Fang felt dissatisfied. After all, I am the eldest member of a wealthy family, yet I was bullied like this by your emperor.

Seeing that everyone is angry

Zhou Fang said: "This time the emperor designed to trick us, it must not be just a few of us. There are hundreds of southeastern wealthy families coming to Jinling, and one family is worth a million. How much goods is this?"

That's right, the southeast has been prosperous since ancient times, with a strong commercial atmosphere and many wealthy people. They are definitely not the only ones coming to Jinling this time.

Then there must be people everywhere who are experiencing the same thing as them.

"Master Zhou, do you mean to unite and fight against the royal family?"

"Okay, that's what I think too. I really can't bear to lose on the surface."

"We have joined forces and have almost a huge amount of goods in our hands. As long as we defeat the emperor's young manor, we will have the final say on the prices of the entire Jinling. Then the emperor will have no choice. Even if we lose, we can still do it.

I fought with the emperor once, is it nothing?"

"That's the truth."

As long as the dog emperor is not allowed to play with them casually, they can accept the result of losing both sides.

It's really disgusting.

At this time, someone said: "Mr. Zhou, for this kind of matter, it's best to call Chaozong back and ask him to come back and help us. Chaozong is the most powerful when it comes to business."

The man who spoke was speechless. Zhou Chaozong was such a powerful business master. What on earth did your old Zhou family do to him? You actually let him follow the emperor.

But you can call him back now and forgive him for his previous mistakes, right?

After going round and round, we come back to Zhou Chaozong.

Zhou Fang actually thought it was quite reasonable. Zhou Chaozong's influence among southeastern merchants was really not something to brag about.

"Okay, I'll go talk to him!" Zhou Fang was very confident, because this era is all about etiquette, and he is the elder of the other party.

As long as Zhou Chaozong is willing to resign and come back, the Zhou family can give him some preferential treatment, restore his status within the family, and improve his salary.

Everything is easy to say.

How did these southeastern merchants know that Zhu Youde had promoted Zhou Chaozong to the rank of fifth-grade doctor and in charge of Shang Fang Mansion, specifically responsible for the sales of national debt and Shang Fang Mansion. Now he was also an official who could wear a big red robe.

Although not a loyal minister of the Liang court, he was still an important official.

The wealthy families in the southeast could give everything they could to Zhu Youde of Zhou Chaozong, and they could give even more.

In addition to his official position, Zhou Chaozong also had the honor of being a bachelor of Wenhua Palace.

When Zhu Youde was discussing with the ministers, all the ministers in Daliang wanted to die.

Although the title of Bachelor of Wenhua Palace is only an honor, it has always been awarded only to civil servants.

What is a civil servant? Only those who have passed the formal imperial examination are called civil servants.

Did Zhou Chaozong pass the imperial examination?

After Zhu Youde ascended the throne, this was the first Wenhua Palace honor awarded to him, which is not an honor.

The ancestral tombs of the Zhou Dynasty ancestors were filled with smoke. The minister asked Zhu Youde, "How can the Zhou Dynasty ancestors be so virtuous and capable?"

Zhu Youde just said one word.

In the future, the national treasury will probably have to rely on national debt to survive. Do you actually want to offend the people who make money for the court?

Because Zhou Chaozong can help the household department earn money, can he become a bachelor of Wenhua Palace?

Damn it!

All the high officials and ministers in the outer dynasty were shocked by this reason.

One hit will kill.

It turned out to be the case and no one doubted it anymore.

But how could Zhu Youde be so simple? Zhou Chaozong, a well-versed businessman, knew that for more than ten years, Zhu Youde hoped that Zhou Chaozong could write down his experience and turn it into a book, which would be used as a formal business textbook in the future.

Isn’t knowledge just the summary of experience?

Very scientific, isn't it?

Regarding the issuance, operation, and redemption of national debt, this series of things also needs to be written into a textbook.

Those who engage in treasury bond trading in the future must pass the examination and obtain a qualification certificate before they are allowed to engage in treasury bond trading.

This is called regularization.

Zhou Fang and others discussed it all afternoon, and in the evening they decided on two steps. One was to contact other southeast merchants to fight Zhu Youde, and the other was to ask Zhou Fang to find Zhou Chaozong.

At this time, Zhou Chaozong was kneeling in front of Zhu Youde.

"I see everything you do. You are a talent, so I will leave it to you to be responsible for the issuance of national debt this time. You can make mistakes. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. You must learn from your mistakes. I am right

You have high expectations."

Emperor, I want to be your dog.

Zhou Chaozong was about to cry. He didn't expect that a person from a merchant background could be praised so highly by the emperor.

People outside say that the emperor is a foolish king, and they are all fools.

Isn't it just some of the daily regulations recently issued? You are not allowed to defecate anywhere. Why don't you just stay away from death?

"Your Majesty's kindness, I will never forget it in this lifetime!"

"Well, that's right. You are a good candidate to be a minister. Work hard. Since I said so, you will have a position as minister in the court. From now on, you will be the minister of the Ministry of Commerce in the city."

Excited, so excited

Legend has it that the emperor's appointment to officials was quite casual, and it was indeed so.

I cannot thank you enough for this.

After thanking him again, Zhou Chaozong said: "Your Majesty, the merchants from the southeast have arrived in Jinling. I wonder what your Majesty plans to do with them?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, it's better to pretend that you don't know!"

"Tell me and listen."

Zhou Chaozong said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs plans to issue treasury bonds. There are rumors outside. The wealthy households who had previously lent money to the Ministry of Household Affairs are now asking around for news about treasury bonds. There is even news on the black market that they are willing to purchase the treasury bonds of the Ministry of Household Affairs at high prices. There is profit here!
