Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping Dangzhi County Text Volume Chapter 405 Sensation in the Capital "Your Highness, the Ming Dynasty does not allow the circulation of gold and silver, so these gold and silver can only be temporarily stored in His Highness's East Palace, and His Highness will exchange them for two hundred and fifty to the Chamber of Commerce.
Ten thousand taels of treasure money!"
Guo An continued.
"As it should be!"
Zhu Di responded readily.
Less than a quarter of an hour.
Two and a half million taels of treasure were handed over to Ma He and Hou Xian.
Guo An added: "Your Highness, now that the Chamber of Commerce has been established, the capital will be handed over to Ma He and Hou Xian.
Wei Chen is going back to Peiping to integrate the Chamber of Commerce of Prince Yan’s Mansion in Peiping!"
"Beiping?"
Hearing this, Zhu Di was startled and said with emotion, "We have been so busy these days that we actually forgot about Peking!"
"Our eldest grandson is still in Peiping alone. Chi'er will also go back this time to guard the Prince Yan's Mansion in Peking for us!"
"Thank you dad!"
On the side, Zhu Gaochi looked happy and responded quickly.
"Go and say goodbye to your mother!"
"Yes, Dad!"
……
Fengtian Palace!
"Fifty thousand taels of gold, two million taels of silver?"
Looking at the report handed over by Erhu, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed.
"No wonder the fourth child has always regarded this person as a treasure. A mere chamber of commerce can earn so much money from these merchants...
Humph, why don’t we know when our Ming Dynasty would have such wealthy merchants..."
On the side, Erhu looked solemn.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. Each of these merchants is well hidden. If they don't take the initiative to reveal their wealth, it will be difficult for Wei Chen and others to find out!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "Send someone to check these related officials, those rogue officials!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Erhu responded quickly.
At the same time.
The fact that Guo Shaozhan of the East Palace recruited four merchants to join the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce established in the East Palace also began to spread in the capital.
"Half a man sold half a million taels of silver, plus fifteen large ships? Could it be that Guo An got a little carried away because King Yan was promoted to crown prince?"
"The Shen family, Liu family, Huang family, Wen family, they are actually willing to spend such a huge sum of money?"
"And Guo An actually invested 500,000 taels of treasure himself?"
"The Duke of Cao, Duke of Wei, Marquis of Wuding, and Marquis of Changxing all received five hundred thousand taels of banknotes?"
"With this fleet coming down, wouldn't it mean that there are already more than 2 million taels of real gold and silver, and more than 200 ships?"
"Hiss..."
"Crazy, everyone is crazy. How can you make back the money you invested?"
"Is it possible that that person doesn't want to open the sea?"
"But when he was in Peiping, he was the first to break the forbidden sea!"
"..."
"What? Did you hear that right? The Shen family and the Liu family in Suzhou all bought with real money?"
"Sir, it's absolutely true!"
"Hahahaha, then Guo An finally didn't trick us this time!"
"Half a member needs five hundred thousand taels of silver, and those merchants dare to be so willing to give up. I guess we can definitely not lose the one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Thinking about it, Guo Ying couldn't help but asked with excitement: "Go and find out quickly to see if there are any left from the Chamber of Commerce members!"
The steward below didn't move at all, and said with a wry smile: "Return to me, sir, half of Chengdu is gone.
Now, all the nobles and merchants from the entire capital have sent people to surround the Chamber of Commerce courtyard!
They all want to buy members of the Chamber of Commerce, but the members of the Chamber of Commerce have already been sold out, and there is nothing left!"
"Fortunately, we were wise enough to take out one hundred thousand taels of banknotes!"
Guo Ying looked proud.
"The master is wise!"
The steward said with admiration on his face.
At this time, Guo Ying's second son Guo Ming also ran in from the outside with a happy face, "Dad, I heard that the price of the member of the chamber of commerce has increased. Many merchants want to use 500,000 taels of silver to buy half of the member. The shares you bought with 100,000 taels of silver a few days ago can be sold directly for 100,000 taels of silver!
Dad, our Guo family has become rich..."
"Bad thing!"
Guo Ying's face darkened, "You're a loser, don't you know what kind of virtue those merchants have?
They are so scrambling to buy members of the Chamber of Commerce. Half of the members of the Chamber of Commerce must be more expensive than the five hundred thousand taels of silver. Do you really want to spend money like this?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince's favor towards our Wuding Marquis Mansion, you are so short-sighted...
As members of our family, those merchants will not sell them no matter how much money they pay. These are the family properties we leave to our family!"
Guo Ming suddenly became speechless.
Similarly, the Dukes of Wei, Cao and Changxing were all beaming with joy.
Of course, there are also merchants who want to visit the Marquis of Wuding and the Marquis of Changxing, hoping to buy those few members at a premium.
Without exception, they were all kicked out of the house directly.
As the initiator of all this noise, Guo An and Zhu Gaochi took a big boat and returned to Beiping.
……
Zhangjiawan Pier.
Shi Xing, who has been promoted to a thousand households, is happily sitting on a rooftop drinking tea.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw two familiar large ships swaggering into the separate pier.
Shi Xing's expression condensed, he took out a clairvoyance and looked towards the pier.
