Zhu Haodao: "Xiangyang is an important military town in the north and south, and it is also responsible for preventing floods, so the government has always suppressed commercial development. However, due to the large number of merchants and prosperous commerce in the local area, the prices of grain, cloth, medicinal materials, official salt, etc. are lower than those in surrounding areas.
The amount is 20 to 30%. In recent years, Prince Xiang’s palace has purchased large quantities of goods through the Anlu route...Am I right?"
Pang Qian frowned when he heard this: "You mean, Prince Xing's Mansion can completely carry out the business of collapsed houses in Fukou to Xiangyang?"
Zhu Haodao: "It is not Prince Xing's Mansion who is responsible for this business, but Prince Xiang's Mansion... Prince Xiang's Mansion is a special existence. Xiangyang Mansion and the county-level yamen cannot control Prince Xiang's Mansion. Prince Xiang's Mansion can develop the Xiangyang Wharf.
The nearby market gradually made it a distribution center for goods from the north and south.
"Among them, the most important business of collapsed houses is to be handled by a dedicated person from Prince Xiang's Palace. Prince Xing's Palace can send people to cooperate... It is reported that Prince Xiang's Palace has tried to run the business of collapsed houses before, but it was not very successful. Merchants still like to go to Anlu
, if there is help from Prince Xing’s Mansion...not to mention that the value of those real estate properties will increase significantly during the market development and construction, it is estimated that we can make a lot of money from the house demolition business alone."
Pang Qian looked slightly disdainful: "How did you know these things? Also, how can I trust you?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said nothing, and glanced at Lu Song.
Lu Song saw the signs and immediately explained: "This Young Master Zhu is responsible for the purchase and sale of goods in the Prince's Palace. In the past two years, the large purchases of goods by Prince Xing's Palace were all completed by the family behind him... The largest house collapse business in Anlu
He is the one running it.”
"Oh I got it."
At this time, Pang Qian finally understood something.
He thought to himself, no wonder the palace sent an aide with a child. It turned out that this child was not simple. He was a broker of the palace? He specialized in handling business for the palace? Also, it involved a dispute of interests between the two palaces. Find a meeting.
If you are a businessman, it will be easier to connect with you.
Zhu Hao asked with a smile: "Does Prince Xiang's Mansion intend to continue the negotiation? If it succeeds, both parties will benefit, if not, both parties will lose... Prince Xing's Mansion is not afraid of trouble now, but Prince Xiang's Mansion doesn't want to cause trouble again, right?"
The tone is the same as Tang Yin before.
Pang Qian hesitated in his heart.
The conditions offered by Prince Xing's Mansion, represented by Zhu Hao, are actually quite tempting.
If we can really open the business of demolished houses to Xiangyang and slowly attract merchants there, the money that Prince Xiang's Mansion can earn will definitely not be comparable to the output of hundreds of acres of land. It can be said to be a very big profit.
"I can't decide this matter, so I have to ask King Xiang for instructions." Pang Qian said.
Zhu Hao said: "Then please ask Pang Changshi to send someone to inform you quickly... We have listed the conditions. Prince Xiang's Palace does not need to evacuate the people guarding the fields. When the soldiers from Prince Xing's Palace pass, you will leave ten people behind."
As hostages, the two sides can come and go, harass them repeatedly, and form a tug-of-war...
"However, the seedlings and crops in the fields need to be replanted in time by Prince Xiang's manpower and cannot be damaged. If this is repeated several times, the matter will cease after six months... At the same time, the cooperation between the two princes can be carried out secretly
, I will definitely not let Prince Xiang’s Mansion suffer.”
Pang Qian listened for a while, and it seemed that this condition was in line with the interests of Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Not only can we make up for the loss of the fields through business, but on the surface the two princes are still fighting for the land, and the Queen Mother in the DPRK can also have good relations with each other. This will not hurt the harmony. Even if Prince Xing's palace gains power in the future, the real dragon will appear.
, the two families have not broken up, but they may be able to establish friendship...
Pang Qianxin said, I took the trouble to come to negotiate today, isn't it just to achieve this goal?
It seems that Prince Xing's Mansion is really a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. It is not as reckless and ignorant as it seems on the surface. People have already designed an escape route for us.
"Okay, I will immediately send someone to inform Prince Xiang to agree on the main points of the negotiation... But when it comes to the specific negotiation time, Prince Xing's Mansion cannot just rely on a few of you to come forward."
Pang Qian obviously agreed to Zhu Hao's conditions, but he was afraid that the two people in front of him could not represent Prince Xing's palace.
Zhu Hao said: "If the matter is really settled, the palace will naturally send senior officials to sign the contract... We are just responsible for taking the lead."
"Well, come here, prepare some pen and ink."
…
…
Very good progress was made in the first round of negotiations.
Zhu Hao and Tang Yin went downstairs, came out of the post house, and temporarily went to the restaurant opposite to wait for the news. Tang Yin kept shouting in disbelief.
"Zhu Hao, I understand. Not only do you want to be a peacemaker for Prince Xing's Palace and Prince Xiang's Palace, you also want to do business in Xiangyang... use Prince Xing's Palace as a cover, and let Prince Xiang's Palace pave the way for you."
Tang Yin said with a wry smile.
Lu Song stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Master Zhu, if you really want to do this kind of business, you shouldn't need me to provide money, people and efforts from Prince Xing's Palace, right?"
Zhu Hao said: "No, I'll just send someone over here... In fact, it's obvious that Prince Xiang's palace wants to make money through commercial sales, and it's not easy to support such a large palace with the meager income from land tax... Everyone knows that doing business makes money.
But not everyone can start a business. They lack guidance from business people, but I lack channels, so we hit it off right away."
In fact, the most profitable thing is not the house demolition business, but real estate. Develop Xiangyang Ferry, which has more convenient water transportation, into a north-south cargo distribution center. Just those built shops can make a lot of money, but no one realizes this at this time.
.
"What do you think? You came here to negotiate, but you went to discuss business with Prince Xiang's Mansion? Your mind... is really weird!"
Tang Yin was a little speechless.
Lu Song grinned happily: "It seems that Master Zhu is not only very resourceful, he is also a good businessman."
Zhu Hao waved his hand: "Don't amuse me. If Prince Xiang's Mansion sends someone else, I won't be able to say anything. Just because the messenger is Pang Changshi... As far as I know, last year Prince Xiang's Mansion saw a collapsed building business in Anlu.
It’s easy to make money, but this guy Pang Changshi started a house-collapse business, but he didn’t make any money, and even lost a lot of money... I proposed it to him, and he wanted to prove that his original suggestion was effective, so he was naturally enthusiastic about it."
Tang Yin and Lu Song couldn't help but look at each other, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Tang Yin praised: "You are very capable. The information you get in the business field is so accurate. You can also adapt to people, time, and local conditions. It is unexpected and impressive!"
Just talking.
I saw three people leading horses out of the posthouse opposite. The one in the middle was carrying a baggage on his shoulder. As expected, it contained Pang Qian's letter.
After the three people left the post house, they got on their horses, waved goodbye to the people who came out to see them off, and then drove away with their whips raised.
Tang Yin looked down from the window, then turned around and said, "Okay, let's go back to the palace... Zhu Hao, you may have to accompany me to see Prince Xing after we go back."
"Um."
Zhu Hao was not afraid at all.
It’s not like meeting King Xing once or twice. Besides, today’s matter really requires King Xing’s affirmation.
…
…
Xingwangfu.
Zhu Hao, Tang Yin and Lu Song, accompanied by Zhang Zuo, Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Jingming, met with Zhu Youqiu.
Tang Yin probably told Zhu Youqi about the contents of the negotiation.
Zhu Youqi was a little surprised: "The other party agreed?"
Not to mention Zhu Youji, even Zhang Zuo, Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Jingming were shocked.
Can you, Tang Yin, go and see the chief minister of Prince Xiang's Mansion? The negotiations will make progress immediately? The other party is willing to settle the matter and get the land back?
Tang Yin said seriously: "Although the matter cannot be decided until Pang Changshi consults with King Xiang, according to Pang Changshi's intention, King Xiang should agree to this condition... Since it involves our Xingwang Palace, please make a decision."
What he meant was that I went to negotiate on behalf of Prince Xing's Mansion. Even if the interests of Prince Xing's Mansion were not harmed, I could not have the final say on the matter.
Zhu Youqian smiled happily and looked at Tang Yin with a little more admiration: "Mr. Tang came forward to negotiate, which not only did not damage the face of our palace, but also settled the matter without hurting any soldiers... It's just that The business with Prince Xiang’s Mansion…”
Tang Yin said: "Zhu Hao will come forward... If there are problems with the transportation of goods, we will ask Su Xigui, a merchant from this province, for help."
"oh?"
Zhu Youqi didn't quite understand the situation and looked at Zhang Zuo aside.
Zhang Zuo, as the current chief steward of the palace, is responsible for the palace's procurement and sales matters. He hurriedly explained: "My lord, don't you remember? Su Xigui is the brother-in-law of Huangfantai in this province. I heard that Huangfantai has been transferred by the imperial court and is about to go to the capital as the household department. Right Minister, they have always been on good terms with my palace."
"Oh, that's great!"
When Zhu Youqian heard this, he felt greatly comforted.
Originally, Huang Zan was the chief envoy of the province, and Prince Xing's Palace had no direct contact with him to avoid suspicion. However, because of Zhu Hao's channels, the relationship between Su Xigui and Prince Xing's Palace became increasingly close.
Now Huang Zan secretly had good relations with Prince Xing's Mansion, and in disguise, Prince Xing's Mansion had another strong support in the court.
Even if he passes away, he will leave his son with very good political resources and connections, and he will feel extremely at ease.
When Yuan Zonggao saw that Zhu Youqi was very satisfied, he no longer had any objections and asked with a smile: "Bohu, how did you come up with all this and use your business interests to negotiate with Prince Xiang's Mansion?"
Tang Yin said bluntly: "Actually, it was Zhu Hao who reminded me... He analyzed it with me and said that everyone in Prince Xiang's Mansion knew that I could not be blamed for Xing Prince's Mansion, but I was secretly threatened by others and had no choice but to do it. As long as both parties give each other a chance, it would be fine." Able to negotiate things.
"And the benefits related to this are just the harvest of a few hundred acres of fields. That does not belong to the official land of Prince Xiang's Palace. The imperial court has allocated it to Prince Xing's Palace, and there is no contest... Then there is the power of Prince Xiang's Palace against me, Prince Xing's Palace. If we are afraid, we can easily take the initiative during negotiations."
Yuan Zonggao nodded, and then asked again: "Does that mean... Zhu Hao contributed a lot in this negotiation?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Youqi, as if to remind him, do you think I'm right? Tang Yin likes to listen to Zhu Hao on everything. It's not that he is very capable. He often relies on Zhu Hao for advice.
Zhu Youzhao didn't bother to pay attention to who came up with the idea, and said with a smile: "Zhu Hao is very resourceful at a young age, and he has already made a name for himself without making a fuss. It seems that he can become the prince's right-hand man in the future."
The implication is that Zhu Hao is capable and I am very happy.
This not only trains my staff, but also trains capable ministers for my son!
From now on, when I am gone, I will rely on Zhu Hao to help the crown prince manage Prince Xing's palace. How good is this? Why should I be unhappy that Zhu Hao and Tang Yin are working together?
They are all my people, trained by the royal family. Why are they so clearly distinguished?
Zhu Hao said hurriedly: "Thank you King Xing for your appreciation. I will always think about the palace. Everything will revolve around this goal and I will try my best to achieve it."
When Yuan Zonggao heard this, the smile on his face froze.
Zhu Hao suddenly felt that Yuan Zonggao's ability to govern a Xingwang palace was more than adequate, but he was not enough to govern the country. It seemed that history's evaluation was correct.
You don’t even understand that what Prince Xing cares about most now is the inheritance of the palace. You are not as knowledgeable as Tang Yin. You still want to destroy Prince Xing’s trust in Tang Yin and take back the authority of the Palace Chief Shisi... It seems that even if you let him go in the future
Even if you serve as a cabinet scholar for a few more years, you won't be able to help Zhu Si achieve great success for the country.
