Chapter 357 Life and death are fate and wealth is up to me (1)

...

Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, Fujia Pavilion.

Feng Yuncai, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, is discussing important matters with several honorary presidents.

The Chamber of Commerce is a place where the individuals and forces who join the Chamber of Commerce seek benefits, and everything comes first.

This benefit not only includes money, but also house treasures, etc., and more importantly, connections.

The five honorary presidents plus the president, a total of six people, chatted with each other about the people with potential or huge backgrounds that they had recently discovered.

"I wonder how many of you still take Zhao Wujiang, the honorary president of our Liu family, into consideration?" Liu Qingshan, the younger brother of Liu Wanshan, the Minister of Household Affairs, spoke.

"Liu Qingshan, Zhao Wujiang's honorary president is just a false name. The real power of the president is still in your hands." A member of the Qin clan said coldly:

"I know what you mean, do you want us to invest in this person again?

But as far as I know, he is not qualified to continue to enjoy our investment..."

"It is true that he has some connections and background, but after all, he is just a eunuch. His power is too limited and his future achievements are too small, so he is not suitable for continued investment."

"His connections? Are you talking about Qi Lin? Haha... Qi Lin is dead, what connections does he still have?

The relationship with the Dugu family? How much relationship can the Dugu family have with a little eunuch?"

"I think Chairman Feng seems to be very interested in Zhao Wujiang. Could it be that he wants to invest his daughter in him?"

Several people present continued to raise objections, and their words were all ridiculing Liu Qingshan and Zhao Wujiang in Liu Qingshan's mouth. Some even pointed the finger at Feng Yuncai.

If Zhao Wujiang is not a eunuch, why not betroth my daughter to him? Feng Yuncai was laughed at but did not get angry.

Basically, he and some key members of the Chamber of Commerce in Nuo Da are working hard, and most of the honorary presidents are just hands-off shopkeepers. They are not around when they are doing things, and they appear when discussing important matters, making decisions, and fighting for power and profit.

Therefore, in his eyes, except for the Liu family and Liu Qingshan, the other honorary presidents did not understand Zhao Wujiang's abilities and deeds, and the sarcastic remarks were just fearlessness brought about by ignorance.

"Brother has recently been promoted to Minister of Household Affairs, I believe some of you have heard about it, right?" Liu Qingshan looked at everyone with a gloomy expression.

The expressions of several honorary presidents froze slightly. Could it be that Liu Qingshan wanted to use his power to suppress others? Using the power of Liu Wanshan, the Minister of Household Affairs, to force them to invest?

Liu Qingshan said coldly:

"My brother worked hard and worried for many years in the household department but was not promoted, but he was promoted recently. He told me that there is one person who can help him, and that person is Zhao Wujiang."

The other honorary presidents were shocked. It was Zhao Wujiang who promoted Liu Wanshan's promotion to Minister of Household Affairs? How is this possible? Isn't Zhao Wujiang a eunuch? Although he is the chief manager of the harem, how can he have any power in this matter?

Feng Yuncai also narrowed his eyes slightly. If Liu Qingshan hadn't said this, he really wouldn't have known about it. Now that he heard this, he was also surprised.

Liu Qingshan said again:

"On the two days, Zhongshu ordered a banquet for all officials. My brother went to the banquet. At the banquet, Zhao Wujiang asked all officials present to donate money to replenish the national treasury...

I believe you also know how difficult it is to get officials to donate generously.

But at this banquet, hundreds of officials donated money, which amounted to nearly one million!

My brother was involved in this matter and compiled the details. He told me about it afterwards, his words were full of emotion, Zhao Wujiang can do what ordinary people cannot!"

The honorary presidents all took a breath and asked all the officials to take out their money. It was extremely difficult to do this. Even though many officials had extremely high salaries and had ways to make a lot of money privately, it was okay to put the money in their pockets.

If you take it out, it won't work.

What method did Zhao Wujiang use? How could he get the courtiers to donate money? What are the details?

The honorary presidents were in a state of confusion. They didn't know the details of the banquet or what method Zhao Wujiang used, but there was definitely one thing that was indispensable for this matter, which was power.

Zhao Wujiang can only get officials to agree with him on this matter if he has enough power or can draw on enough power.

Whether it was borrowed or their own, it showed one thing, that is, Zhao Wujiang's power was extremely impressive, which broke their understanding of the power of a eunuch in the court.

Feng Yuncai also exhaled slowly, trying to suppress the shock in his heart. Although he knew Zhao Wujiang's power background and abilities better than the other honorary presidents, he still knew much less than Liu Qingshan. After all, Liu Qingshan's

His elder brother Liu Wanshan was an official in the court and served as the Minister of Household Affairs, and he became close to Zhao Wujiang.

Now that he heard the news from Liu Qingshan, he felt that he had underestimated Zhao Wujiang, and he also felt vaguely regretful that he had not properly taught his daughter Feng Xueer that her attitude towards Zhao Wujiang had always been the same.

After Feng Xueer learned that Zhao Wujiang was an eunuch, his attitude obviously declined. He knew about it, but he didn't do much to stop it.

Now he was filled with regret and shock, which made him sigh in his heart.
