The reason why Chen Zhao is willing to pay and bear the huge risks of shipping is all because of the three words "big shopkeeper".
As long as Yizhou was still at war, Zhao Huan would always be short of money.
War is the most terrifying gold-swallowing beast. A large amount of investment is required before the war begins. It is continuously consumed during the battle. After the war, reconstruction or compensation is a huge sum of money.
Even a huge empire can be brought down by a war, let alone an individual?
Ultimately, if Zhao Huan wanted to fight, he could not do without the word "money". Since he could not count on the court, he could only develop his own way of making money.
Shipping is just one of them. In the future, the palace's industries will inevitably touch all aspects.
Just "trade" covers cross-sea trade, transnational trade, water transportation, etc.
Once all the palace's industries are established, you can imagine how huge the profits will be!
Zhao Huan's so-called "lying down to collect five points of profit" is equivalent to leaving five points of profit to the people below in disguise, and the big shopkeeper can naturally get the bulk of it.
In other words, the interests of the Wangfu and the Chen family will be completely bound, and both will prosper!
Although twenty-five thousand taels of silver is a lot, if you can form a blood alliance with the palace, it will definitely be an extremely cost-effective deal.
Chen Zhao secretly vowed that even if he went bankrupt, he would help Zhao Huan start the shipping business.
As everyone knows, Zhao Huan has his own considerations in his heart.
If Zhumen Bank is promoted, it can feed back other industries, and shipping is one of them.
In addition, Zhao Huan used Chen Zhao so highly just to let this guy focus on business.
If he stays with Zhao Huan, even if he remains a commoner, he will definitely interfere in politics in the future.
By then, based on Zhao Huan's understanding of Chen Zhao, he can be sure that this guy must be a huge corrupt man, even worse than Cai Jingtong Guan and his like.
Instead of plundering people's wealth and wealth in the future, it would be better to just rely on business to feed this kid.
Chen Zhao naturally knew Zhao Huan's good intentions. He stood up and wiped his tears.
"My subordinates will go back now and tell my father exactly what happened. Then we can hold a family meeting to raise funds."
Zhao Huan waved his hand, indicating that Chen Zhao could retreat.
Almost as soon as Chen Zhao left, Zhu Peng came up and said, "If my uncle wants to get involved in the business world, it can be handled by the Zhu family. Why give such an important position as the shopkeeper to an outsider?"
"Uncle, don't think too much. I'm not trying to sow discord, I just want to make Chen Zhao unhappy."
Facing Zhu Peng's question, Zhao Huan replied bluntly: "I think you are tired of living."
After saying that, he ignored Zhu Peng, who looked stunned, and turned towards the inner house.
After a long time, Zhu Peng scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Which sentence did I say wrong?"
Wang Daquan shook his head and sighed: "You are the nephew of the princess, and the prince is the eldest son of the emperor. As long as the war in Yizhou goes well, the prince will definitely inherit the throne in the future."
"Prince Ding's Mansion is the prince's hidden residence. Everything will be brought into the palace."
"And you will become...a relative!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Peng broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhao Huan is an anomaly among the princes of the Song Dynasty. He is not only violent and crazy, but also calm and rational.
In the whole world, there are only four people who can gain Zhao Huan's complete trust.
Zhu Lian, Zheng Qingyun, Chang Fu, and finally Yue Fei.
Even Chen Zhao and Wang Daquan can only be regarded as capable men, definitely not confidants.
Zhao Huan, the prince who is least like a prince, is actually...most like a monarch. He hopes that the Zhu family will be strong, but he never wants the Zhu family to be too strong.
After all, the Zhu family's clan is so powerful that if it gets crazy, even the head of the family can be eliminated directly.
Once such a relative gains power, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, if Zhu Peng wants to follow Zhao Huan, he can only try his best to become Changfu instead of Chen Zhao.
Zhu Peng quickly bowed to Wang Daquan and saluted: "Thanks to Brother Wang for giving me the guidance."
"Our Zhu family, relying on the princess, is destined to become the most noble clan in the Song Dynasty. This is enough."
"As for real power, I don't dare to hope for it."
"In the future, we brothers must move around more and share the same hatred to deal with that thief Chen Zhao!"
Faced with Zhu Peng's sincere wooing, Wan Daquan snorted, not showing the slightest interest.
"Let's each play our own way. This trick of driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf is of no use to me."
"Chen Zhao is indeed a bad person, but you are not a good person either. Apart from Changfu, the prince can only have one loyal minister by his side, and it can only be me!"
Looking at Wan Daquan's back, Zhu Peng couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Why are there so many monsters and ghosts around my uncle!"
Zhao Huan saw the overt and covert fighting between Chen Zhao, Wang Daquan and Zhu Peng and was happy in his heart.
Zhao Huan was not interested in the art of imperial weighing at all, he just found it funny.
As for the Zhumen Bank, the vicious dog Changfu was tied up at the door, so naturally no one dared to cause trouble.
Li Shishi is also in charge of Hongyanguan Literary Club.
Shipping trade cannot be completed overnight. Just preparing the ship will take a year and a half, so there is no rush.
Just when Zhao Huan was combing through his clues to make sure there were no mistakes, a burst of criticism caught Zhao Huan's attention.
Looking around, I saw two little maids standing by the wall, chatting happily.
"It's been five days since Chen Yushu went to the laundry room, and there's no sign of her coming back. I'm afraid she's out of luck."
"After all, she is from a lower class background, and her habits have ruined the concubine. The princess just punished her to wash clothes, which is enough to save the prince's face."
"Yes, after all, it is the person brought back by the prince."
"This Chen Yushu is good at everything, but she has too many habits and is not good at serving others."
"What is this? She doesn't serve others, so how can she be served by others?"
The two women were chatting enthusiastically when they suddenly felt a breathing sound coming from their backs. When they turned around and looked, they were almost scared to death.
Zhao Huan tilted his ears, almost touching the maid's face.
"Ah! Your Majesty?!"
"You deserve to die, slave. I will never dare to be lazy again."
The two little maids bowed their heads and admitted their mistake, looking extremely nervous.
Zhao Huan waved his hand and wrote lightly: "Why are you panic? The princess is not here."
"Chen Yushu was rushed to the laundry room? Why didn't I know?"
The maid named Xiao Tao quickly explained: "A few days ago, Chen Yushu took the concubine out of the house and took to the streets without permission, but she was caught by the princess."
"The concubine was grounded, and Chen Yushu was sent to the laundry room. It's been five days."
Zhao Huan has been paying attention to the war in Yizhou these days, so he naturally knows nothing about what happened in the inner house.
Although Zhao Huan felt distressed when he learned that Zheng Qingyun and Chen Yushu were punished, he did not dare to directly plead with Zhu Lian.
After all, Zhu Lian was the master of the inner house, and even Zhao Huan had to look at Zhu Lian's eyes to act.
