Chapter 21 The first time I heard about Japanese pirates, the county magistrate wants to kill Lao Zhu
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Li Jin, and the sound made was deafening, like a roar of a lion.
Li Jin calmly stretched out his fingers, took out his ears, and said speechlessly:
"Can you not speak so loudly? I'm not deaf in my ears, and I can hear what you're talking about."
"What's wrong with those people who are supposed to die, let them go to the Colosseum Arena?"
Li Jin said lightly and didn't care about the lives and death of those people at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned pale and cursed angrily:
"Even if they really deserve to die, then you shouldn't send them to that place and let them die of torture!"
"You said it nicely, do you know what these people did?"
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was stubborn about this matter, Li Jin also got angry and said:
"These people are all so-called Japanese pirates! In the year of Hongwu, Japanese pirates invaded the coast of Shandong, killing 3,000 people in the Ming Dynasty."
"In the second year of Hongwu, the Japanese pirates invaded Zhejiang and killed more than a thousand people in the Ming Dynasty."
"In the third year of Hongwu, the Japanese pirates attacked again, invading our Songjiang Prefecture and harming hundreds of people from the Ming Dynasty."
"Are the numerous crimes committed by these Japanese pirates worthy of your pity?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was a little dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a moment.
But Liu Bowen asked next to him:
"Didn't you just say that these are all the people of the Ming Dynasty? Why are they involved with the Japanese pirates again?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded.
Yes, what does the Japanese pirates have to do with our Ming people?
In an instant, everyone's eyes were cast on Li Jin again.
Li Jin smiled and said:
"It seems you know nothing about Japanese pirates."
"Most of the so-called Japanese pirates are actually from the Ming Dynasty. These people are wandering overseas and live a life of licking blood on the head of a knife."
"Cruel and fierce, but real Japanese are often a minority."
"So the Japanese pirates are actually all the Ming people who follow the name of the Japanese and are doing things about the Japanese."
As soon as these words were said, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. If this was the case, then these people were indeed not worthy of sympathy.
On the contrary, even if these people were torn to pieces, they could not atone for their sins.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. When Li Jin saw these people stop talking, he said impatiently:
"Didn't you come to me to do business?"
"Why do you ask this and that as soon as you come in?"
"I'll ask you, is this business still done?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly woke up, do business?
Our Emperor of Ming Dynasty will give you a county magistrate to do business?
You take yourself too seriously!!!
Just as he was about to refuse, Queen Ma took the lead and said:
"Do it, why don't you?"
"I just don't know what good deal Mr. Li has, and I want to introduce it to us?"
Hearing this, Li Jin immediately smiled and said:
"Of course there is a good deal, and it's a big deal!"
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang was disdainful to do business with Li Jin, he was a little curious when he heard this and asked:
“What big deal?”
"How do you think the slave trade I saw in the north of the city before?"
Li Jin's voice was full of temptation, as if it was a devil's humming, inducing Zhu Yuanzhang and others into a trap.
"A adult man can earn 10 taels of silver for free, while a woman can earn more than 20 taels, and now there is no market price."
"Even children have now risen to the price of 6 taels. It's a slap in a priceless deal, an absolute big deal!"
"Conservatively estimated, at least one hundred taels of silver a year, net profit."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Li Changgeng's words about the slave trade were so tempting, he immediately agreed.
As an emperor who fought from the bottom, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care whether this thing was moral or not. As long as it was not his own people in the Ming Dynasty, he could accept it.
And with so much profit, how can you watch the money flow to Li Jin?
But Liu Bowen stopped him. If Zhu Yuanzhang really was asked to participate in the slave trade, he would be afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely be infamous for thousands of years in the future.
"We need to discuss this matter. I wonder if there are any other transactions?"
Queen Ma also felt that this matter was a disaster and was not a good way. I hope Li Jin could introduce another one.
Seeing that his fooling was not working, Li Jin looked a little depressed, but then he returned to his confidence.
He continued to introduce to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"There is indeed something more profitable, but this thing will not be given to you easily, it will cost you."
"I'm afraid you can't afford this price!"
"Hmph, there is nothing we can't do in this world!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately dissatisfied when he saw that Li Jin dared to underestimate him.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's awesome look, Li Jin thought about it over and over again, but decided to give it a try. After all, this link is very important.
If it cannot be completed, it will affect his next plan, and even many projects will go bankrupt.
"Okay, if you can really get things done, I'll leave this big deal to you."
Seeing Li Jin's solemn thing, Queen Ma couldn't help but frown and asked:
"Can the county magistrate talk first? What are the conditions you are talking about?"
Li Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, and he said deliberately, Feng Qingyun Dan, and said softly:
"It's very simple. I want you to ask the emperor for a royal chamber of commerce to me."
"Royal Chamber?"
This time, Zhu Biao was not calm. After all, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to handle government affairs over the years and also understood Zhu Yuanzhang's governance philosophy a lot.
Today, the Ming Dynasty implemented the national policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, attracting more people to agriculture. How could it be that this kind of imperial magistrate was given to Li Jin?
When Zhu Biao thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned pale and looked like he was furious.
Zhu Biao hurriedly continued:
"Don't you know that the emperor is now emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, and it is impossible to support merchants, and it is impossible to give you a plaque from the Royal Chamber of Commerce."
Li Jin was unhappy after hearing this. Your father patted his chest and told himself that there was nothing he could not do in the world, so why can't it be possible now?
"What? Didn't you just swear?"
"As soon as I mentioned the conditions, you backed down? Are you really royal relatives?"
After saying that, he glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang with his eyes slanted. The meaning was very obvious. You can't do it either!!
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately furious, his blood was rising, his face turned red, as if he was insulted.
"Who said we can't do it?"
"But the Royal Chamber of Commerce is so precious, why should I give it to you?"
"Just based on what you call a big deal? Can you give us a mountain of gold?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was extremely mocking, and he didn't believe that Li Jin could have anything to do with him.
Unexpectedly, Li Jin smiled disdainfully and said:
"What is Kingsoft? This thing is so much more money than Kingsoft!!"
"What a big tone, would you take it out and show it to us?"
Of course Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe it, he felt that Li Jin was bragging.
Li Jin blinked, smiled mysteriously, and said:
"When you see it, you will know that my official's things are extraordinary!"
