Chapter 141: Chapter Seventy Five Thousand Gold (1)
Chapter 70 Five Thousand Gold
Soon, Mi Zhu came to the hall and sat at the top. Not long after he sat down, the soldier who had just been ordered out came in and brought a man with him.
He is about forty years old, very thin, and has a shrewd face. This is Zhang Kuai, a fur goods merchant from Shangdang.
"Sir, this is Mr. Zhang from Shangdang."[
The soldier bowed and saluted.
"I've met Lord Mi." Zhang Kuai saluted Mi Zhu.
"You're welcome, sir." Just as Liu Feng guessed, Mi Zhu was a merchant and did not reject merchants, so he nodded politely.
That kind touch makes people feel at ease.
Zhang Kuai is in such a mood right now. Just like the information Mi Zhu knows, he is a member of the Shangdang Party and has a large business, but his reputation is not good or bad.
In this era, officials were much more powerful than businessmen. Zhang Kuai sometimes encountered many obstacles because of his status. He also saw the emperor issuing an edict, saying that by donating money, he could obtain the title of Marquis of Guannei.
Although he still sold his official position, it was high-sounding after all. After considering the gains and losses, Zhang Kuai gritted his teeth and came anyway.
However, he was still a little uneasy about having to deal with officials. But after seeing Mi Zhu's attitude, he was completely relieved.
Zhang Kuai smiled and saluted Mi Zhu again.
"Well, you go down first." Mi Zhu also nodded towards Zhang Kuai, then turned to the soldier and said.
"Promise." The soldier agreed and immediately turned around and left.
As a result, only Mi Zhu and Zhang Kuai were left in the hall.
"May I ask Lord Mi, what are the procedures for donating?" Zhang Kuai was a businessman after all. Even if it was a matter of selling an official position, he would treat it as a voice and raise his fist calmly.
"Five hundred gold, or thirty million dollars. Bring the money to me and register it. For every ten people, I will take you into the palace to see His Highness the Crown Prince, and then report to the Emperor. That's it.
." Mi Zhu explained carefully.
"Is it that simple?" Zhang Kuai was slightly startled. It was much simpler than he thought. He thought it would be more troublesome.
"It's that simple." Mi Zhu said with a smile and nodded.
"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver five hundred gold." Zhang Kuai nodded happily. Zhang Kuai travels all over the world. This time he passed by Xudu and happened to sell his leather goods. He has plenty of funds.
For five hundred gold, you can get the title of Marquis of Guannei so easily. It's worth it.
"Well done, sir." Mi Zhu nodded.[
"Farewell." Zhang Kuai bowed to Mi Zhu and immediately turned around and left.
"Another five hundred gold, no capital to make profits." Mi Zhu shook his head. As a businessman, it was really difficult for him to resist the temptation of making money without capital.
"Why."
Mi Zhu sighed.
The emperor issued an edict, saying that you can obtain the title of Marquis of Guannei by donating money. After all, it was issued relatively late and the speed of dissemination was limited. Although Xudu is the imperial capital, it is impossible for countless people to come to seek the title at once.
Except for the first Zhang Kuai, Mi Zhu only gathered ten people within fifteen days.
On this day, in the hall of Mi Zhu's official residence.
Mi Zhu knelt down and sat at the top, with ten people sitting on both sides below. Although these people were of different ages and looks, they all looked shrewd without exception.
Zhang Kuai, the first person to seek a title, was among them.
These guys are either a drop in the bucket or bankrupt. What they want is the title of Marquis of Guannei. This is the foundation of Liu Feng's business.
