If His Highness the Prince is most in need of money, Shanxi merchants will directly start investing.
If His Highness the Prince was building Shandong, Shanxi merchants also invested heavily in His Highness, then at this time, Shanxi merchants would definitely not be facing such a scene.
All I can say is that this business is not doing well and the investment is not good!
Thinking of this, Wang Dayu sighed.
"Okay, if nothing happens, just leave the Qing army's defense plan and go out!"
Zhu Cixiang said coldly to Wang Dayu in front of him.
"Yes! Your Highness!"
With that said, Wang Dayu slowly stood up, turned around and left the study in front of him.
Looking at Wang Dayu's back, Zhu Cixiang's eyes showed a glimmer of light.
"Shanxi merchants? Haha!"
Zhu Cixi sneered.
Zhu Yi came out of the corner and looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"Your Highness, do you want me to follow him out and threaten him??"
"Need not!"
Zhu Cixiang had a smile on his face.
"If even now, Shanxi merchants still can't see the situation clearly, then they deserve to be destroyed!"
"kindness!"
Zhu nodded. In the current situation, if Shanxi merchants still dare to do anything, they are simply seeking their own death. Then no one will be able to blame them!
After Wang Dayu left the Prince's Mansion, he hurriedly said hello to the Shanxi merchant's bank account.
Then he quickly left Qingzhou.
Return to Zhangjiakou.
"What did Prince Zhu Ming say???"
Fan Yongdou looked at Wang Dayu in front of him impatiently and asked.
The Shanxi merchants around them looked at Wang Dayu in front of them.
With a wry smile in his eyes, Wang Dayu took a deep breath and said, "It's not good. Prince Zhu Ming wants more than just a defense plan. He also wants our people to cause chaos from within when Prince Zhu Ming attacks the city."
!Convenient for them to attack the city!"
When they heard that the Shanxi merchants and several big shopkeepers around Wang Dayu were in an uproar.
"Isn't this asking us businessmen to take action? This is impossible!"
"Yes! If we take action, as long as someone leaks this news, whether it is to the Manchus or King Chuang, we are afraid that we will be doomed and will be assigned to Zhu Ming's side! How can we still have both sides??"
"Yes! Right now we have a lot of business in Sichuan and Shu, as well as in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the business within the control of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is also very large.
These are our fundamentals! How could we abandon all of these for a prince Zhu Ming?"
"You can talk about it later!"
…………
The people around him said to Wang Dayu in front of them.
"Prince Zhu Ming made it very clear that if we don't do what he says, he will expose everything we have done. When the time comes..."
There was a wry smile in Wang Dayu's eyes.
Look at the Shanxi merchants around.
Everyone suddenly fell into silence.
Even though the Shanxi merchants seemed to be powerful, in fact, there were many people who coveted the wealth of the Shanxi merchants, including the Manchus and King Chuang, who all wanted to eat up all the Shanxi merchants.
If the Shanxi merchants were not of any use, they would definitely eat up all the wealth of the Shanxi merchants in one go!
"So, I promised him!"
Wang Dayu sighed slightly, looked at the people around him and said.
Several people around him did not speak and fell into silence. They could probably feel Wang Dayu's pressure. Prince Zhu Ming was notoriously unkind. Unless there was value to him, it would be useless for anyone to speak.
.
Dorgon can be persuaded by the people next to him that it is easier to break into a thief. There are too many people around him who can influence him.
But Prince Zhu Ming......
"Can't you bribe the officials and convince Chongzhen first, and then let Chongzhen persuade Prince Zhu Ming??"
Wang Denku on the side hesitated for a moment, looked at Wang Dayu in front of him and asked.
"no!"
Wang Dayu sighed slightly.
"Prince Zhu Ming is not someone who can be persuaded at all. If we do this, the only consequence will be that Prince Zhu Ming will reveal everything, and then..."
Wang Dayu did not continue speaking, and everyone around him had a wry smile in his eyes.
"Okay, let's do it like this first! If you want to have both sides, you will always encounter problems like this!"
Fan Yongdu sighed with a look in his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, Fan Yongdou said with a serious face to the people in front of him: "Right now, we are in troubled times, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are no longer reliable. We can only rely on ourselves, to make ends meet while recruiting talents and soldiers.
Raising private soldiers is the right way!
At least at the last moment, we still have the ability to protect our family business! Be prepared for the worst! The more this time comes, the more we must unite!"
"What Shopkeeper Fan said makes sense!"
"really!"
Several people around him nodded, with looks of approval in their eyes.
"Okay, let's get ready!"
This crisis for Shanxi merchants was resolved quietly.
And time, quietly, another year passed.
In May of the 20th year of Chongzhen.
Farmers have few leisure months, but people are twice as busy in May. The south wind blows at night, and the wheat is covered with yellow.
Hou Fangyu stood in the field and looked at the people harvesting the newly ripe wheat between the fields.
There was also genuine joy on his face.
More than a year has passed since he came to Hejian Prefecture as the magistrate. Over the past year, Hou Fangyu has been the person who has changed the most.
After suffering a severe blow before, in order to save his father, Hou Fangyu learned from the pain and began to seriously study some of the policies and ideas of His Highness the Crown Prince.
It truly began to integrate into people's lives.
I also had a completely different experience with the people's life than before.
He was born in Qingliu. His father Hou Xun himself was a famous Qingliu member in the Donglin Party, and he was also one of the famous scholars in Qingliu and Donglin.
After really calming down, Hou Fangyu discovered how wrong many of his previous views were!
He now began to feel extremely ashamed of some of his previous words and deeds.
Over the years, many people have ridiculed Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty for being mentally retarded. He said, "Why don't you eat minced meat?" He was laughed at by later generations of scholars for countless years.
But really speaking, how many of these scholars who mocked Emperor Hui of Jin did not understand the people's livelihood? Did they make less jokes about why they don't eat minced meat???
In fact, they are all the same!
Thinking of this, Hou Fangyu felt a little emotional.
"Sir, it's a good harvest this year!"
With excitement on his face, a master said to Hou Fangyu in front of him.
"Your performance this year must be excellent!"
"That's impossible to say!"
Hou Fangyu looked calm.
"You have been in Hejian Mansion for so long, and no one has heard anything about it?"
"What??"
The master was stunned for a moment, looking at Hou Fangyu in front of him with confusion in his eyes.
