Spring has passed for some time, but the streets are becoming more and more lively, with an endless stream of vendors, and people's mood is just like the beautiful weather.
Qin Sining in the carriage was in a different state of mind.
Three hundred thousand.
This small amount of money is nothing to the huge Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, which also plans to overthrow one of its own people from the position of prime minister.
Compared with the position of prime minister, three million or thirty million is worth it!
Money is strongest only when it is tied to power.
The carriage arrived soon.
Qin Sining did not ask the attendant to help, and walked down alone. He looked at the plaque of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and sighed slightly.
Nowadays, Qin Sining's identity is very different from before. She is the female official beside His Highness the Crown Prince.
Although his position is not high, he dare not offend anyone.
Because she can directly talk to the prince, and her meaning also represents the prince's intention to a large extent.
Who dares to despise it?
When Qin Sining entered, the people who saw her saluted and knelt down in obeisance. Apart from fear, they looked like they were fawning and flattering.
"Master Qin, you are here!" A fourth-grade civil servant from the Chamber of Commerce quickly handed over his hand after seeing Qin Sining.
The flattering smile on his face made Qin Sining feel a sense of alienation.
In the past, these people gave her more of a family feeling.
But now...
"Uncle Wang Cheng, your official status is higher than that of your niece, so it should be your niece who pays tribute to you!"
Qin Sining said lightly.
"That can't be done. As the saying goes, today is different from the past. In the future, the prosperity of the Chamber of Commerce should rely more on my niece!"
Wang Cheng pretended to be anxious and immediately retorted.
"Just call me Sining from now on. There's no need to be so outspoken." Qin Sining waved her hand, not wanting to talk any more.
"This is my niece, please!"
Under Wang Cheng's initiative, Qin Sining came to the room where the Chamber of Commerce was discussing, and all the managers were already waiting.
As soon as Qin Sining came in, everyone stood up to greet her and asked her to take the main seat. Just as she was about to shirk, Wang Cheng said:
"Niece, you are not here to represent yourself. You are representing the prince. How dare you be the next one?"
Qin Sining had no choice but to take the initiative and sat over.
After a while, everyone took their seats one after another.
Wang Cheng looked around and finally said: "Since my niece is here today, we don't have to make any guesses."
"Niece, you are by the prince's side every day. You know how many hurdles he has set up to select the prime minister this time, and how much financial and material resources it will cost in total. As long as you give the bottom line, we will let the people below do their best to handle it!"
After Wang Cheng finished speaking, there was a chorus of approval from below.
“Not bad, not bad!”
"Niece, please reveal some news!"
"Our Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is determined to win this position of prime minister!"
"..."
Qin Sining slowly stood up, the crowd's voices immediately became quieter, and she said loudly:
"Uncles, I understand your feelings very well, but I want to explain that after the public selection of the prince, there are too many people who want the position of prime minister, and it is still very difficult for us to participate in the competition."
Everyone started arguing quietly, and Wang Chengchong smiled at Qin Sining: "Don't worry, niece, no matter how difficult it is, we will try our best to fight for it. As long as we get the position of prime minister, the interests of the Chamber of Commerce will be as stable as Mount Tai!"
Others also agreed.
Qin Sining nodded, "Since everyone is so determined, I won't say anything more. I have received a lot of news about this election for prime minister. Among them, the people who are most likely to run for prime minister include these people.
…”
"The first is Prince Pingxi. It is said that this person is very scheming. He studied under Shifang Xingzhe, a master from outside the world. Moreover, he entered the capital at the beginning of spring and has been staying with the third prince to make plans. He also has the prestige of his father, Prince Pingxi, to help him.
, will be a strong enemy.”
This information was all investigated by Zhao Xiaole and handed over to Qin Sining by Xichang. As for the part he knew, he would not tell Qin Sining.
Zhao Xiaole decided to solve it himself.
Even so, this information was shocking enough. After finishing speaking, everyone in the chamber of commerce changed their expressions.
They are all old foxes, and they can hear a lot of hidden meanings in just a short message.
What does it mean to advise the third prince?
It means seizing the direct descendant!
The competition for the position of prime minister has already involved the battle for the right to inherit the throne.
This is not just about seizing the chancellor, it also means that you have to cut off your team to participate in the battle for the legitimate son, which means that either you die or I die.
Therefore, after Qin Sining finished speaking, everyone in the audience fell silent.
Qin Sining didn't rush him and just continued to wait.
Zhao Xiaole is the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Based on his words, taking away the three hundred thousand taels of silver from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is nothing at all.
The problem is that the following opponents will include the Third Prince and others, and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce must make its attitude clear in advance.
After everyone discussed quietly for a while, Qin Sining asked: "How is it? Do you have any questions?"
The leader, Wang Cheng, was the first to speak, "Niece, although there are some risks in this matter, wealth and wealth can be gained at risk. Even if we offend King Pingxi, we still have the support of the Marquis and the Crown Prince, so we can do this!"
"No! We still have the Marquis supporting us!"
"..."
Wang Cheng is still a thief. He deliberately moved Zhao Xiaole out. As long as Zhao Xiaole is here, why should he be afraid of King Ping Xi?
As for the Shifang Walker, I'm sorry, this is the capital city. When you come, I'll show you what royal majesty is!
"Okay!" Qin Sining nodded, "Then I will continue to introduce the next few people. Compared with Prince Pingxi, the background of these people is more complicated. There are even foreigners who want to compete for the position of prime minister.
.”
Afterwards, Qin Sining introduced everyone one by one.
Among them were powerful figures in the world of martial arts, as well as world-renowned literati. The talented scholar from Yanshan who had collaborated with Xiaobi Shusheng and others to write the Lantern Festival of the Sapphire Case also came to participate in this selection.
Many of these people possess the talents of prime ministers and can even take office directly.
But this election in Jingyang is so strange.
You have the ability to be the prime minister, but I cannot let you be the prime minister because you lack the most important thing, which is qualifications!
For this reason, Zhao Xiaole referred to the election of a president in a certain country and directly suggested that the prince should also be elected, so that no one elected would be dissatisfied.
If you have the ability, you can also run for the election, and if you are elected, you will become the prime minister.
Unfortunately, three hundred thousand taels of silver became the first threshold, blocking almost 99.99% of people.
Wang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Compared with Mr. Hou, I am still more optimistic about Mr. Hou!"
Others also nodded. In terms of qualifications and abilities, Zhao Xiaole is outstanding.
Qin Sining shook his head and said: "The person running for election is not Xiaole, but me!"
