There were many soldiers standing there, everyone holding their swords and looking desolate in their expressions of killing.
Zhu Jianji slowly drank the warm water without looking at the heads of the eight clans in the hall, and did not offer seats to these old men.
Guessing that the atmosphere was almost under control, Zhu Jianji put down his tea cup, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile, "Zhang Peng and Wang Yue are responsible for holding the rebellious ministers accountable. I have called you here today to discuss important matters. "
Everyone looked at each other.
Although His Highness is smiling and approachable, no one knows in the world today. Never think that His Highness the Crown Prince is despised when he is only ten years old and can transform into a devil at any time.
How can a ruthless person who dares to force the Queen Mother Sun to kill the Bao Sect can be treated like a ten-year-old child.
Zheng Qingshan, the head of the Zheng clan, said: "I dare not discuss it with you, please give me your instructions."
Very interesting.
Zhu Jianji nodded slightly and said, "I followed the Holy Will to quell the chaos in Fujian. Fortunately, with the help of God and the concerted efforts of all the soldiers, I finally put an end to the chaos that was causing harm to the country. I will soon return to the capital. However, when the chaos was quelled, I was alone in the flames of war." I accidentally saved an old man, and in gratitude for saving his life, he gave me some land deeds and house deeds."
Pause for a moment and let these old men figure it out.
Be mentally prepared.
In case the situation becomes difficult to deal with - of course, Zhu Jianji doesn't mind killing a group of people. At worst, the money from confiscating the house will enter the treasury and has nothing to do with my East Palace.
When the old men from the Eight Tribes heard this, they felt slanderous.
The situation is like this, how can everyone not know about it?
The so-called old man must be Zhu Yunqi. Zhu Yunqi is definitely not grateful to your family, but it is really possible to give the house deed and land deed of Jianwen's remnants to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Don't let the rich water flow to outsiders' fields.
If Zhu Yunwen doesn't give Zhu Jianji, then those ownerless houses and fields will be taken over by the Fujian government, and they may be eaten up by officials from all walks of life, and there won't be much money left after they arrive in the capital.
Zhu Jianji continued: "However, the capital is in the north and Fujian is in the south. It is useless to hold these houses and fields alone and is difficult to manage. So before returning to the capital, do you have any good ideas?"
Lin Zhao, the patriarch of the Lin family in Fuqing, stood up immediately and said, "The Lin family in Fuqing, a grassroots people, is willing to buy the fertile land in Fuqing."
The imperial court allowed private buying and selling of land.
As for what His Highness the Prince said, any fool would know what it meant. He wanted to sell at a high price, otherwise he wouldn't have called the eight rich families to Fuzhou. He has been trying to figure it out for so long, just to make everyone pay the bill.
It’s not a bad thing, it’s definitely expensive, but it’s still worth it if you can buy peace for your family.
Besides, no amount of fields is too much.
The elders of the other seven tribes also immediately expressed their willingness to buy. As for the house...it depends on the location. You can't buy the Baiyun Temple that was burned to ashes.
Zhu Jianji smiled and said, "Very good."
Asked the Zheng family chief, "There are 800 acres of fertile land next to your Zhangpu Zheng family. How much do you plan to pay?"
Zhangpu Zheng family is in Zhangzhou.
Zheng Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
Eight hundred acres...
Quite a lot indeed.
But one acre of fertile land only costs about ten taels of silver, and eight hundred acres of farmland only costs eight thousand taels. How would His Highness the Crown Prince mobilize so much force to manipulate everyone just for eight thousand taels of silver?
With an extra thought in mind, he said: "The common people are willing to give ten thousand taels."
This price is very high.
Zhu Jianji was noncommittal and said: "There are seven courtyards with three entrances in Zhangzhou. There are many members of the Zheng clan in Zhangpu, so buy them too. Don't worry, I will give you a conscientious price."
Zheng Qingshan hesitated, "I wonder how much your Highness will sell it for?"
Zhu Jianji smiled and said, "Seven courtyards, all of which are luxurious manors, together with 800 acres of fertile land, will be sold to you, Zhangpu Zheng Family, for two hundred and fifty thousand taels. How about it? It's very conscientious, right?"
Bang!
As soon as Zhu Jianji finished speaking, Zheng Qingshan felt his head heat up and fainted to the ground.
The rest of the people looked at each other.
Is this a conscience price?
This is a conscience price to grab money!
In broad daylight, with the lion's mouth open like this, does His Highness the Prince not know the price of goods? Not to mention the three-entry courtyards in Zhangzhou, even the three-entry courtyards in Fuzhou can only be sold for less than 30,000 taels each.
At most three to five thousand taels.
It should be noted that the luxurious mansions built by the wealthy men in Fuzhou's Three Lanes and Seven Alleys can only be built at a cost of 20,000 to 30,000 taels, not counting all kinds of cultural ornaments.
The royal palaces in Gyeonggi only cost more than 100,000 taels.
Three thousand taels of this kind of house is worth a fortune!
The result is more than 30,000 taels!
This is no longer a sale, it is an unabashed money grab!
Zhu Jianji glanced at Dai Yi next to him. Dai Yi immediately signaled for someone to wake Zheng Qingshan up. Zhu Jianji then asked: "What, do you think it's expensive? That's fine. I'll give you a chance to regret it."
Just when Zheng Qingshan was about to speak, Zhu Jianji smiled and said to Dai Yi: "Go and inform Zhang Peng and Wang Yue that you can interrogate Zheng Ximin, the head of the military department of the puppet court. Well, we must interrogate him strictly and dig out his behind-the-scenes masterminds and supporters.
By the way, Dai Yi, I remember that when I was in Quanzhou, I captured a Jianwen remnant, I think his name was Zheng Kailai, where was he from? "
Dai Yidao: "Your Highness, it seems to be the Zheng family of Zhangpu."
Zhu Jianji nodded and said: "Zheng Kai has been with Zhu Zunxi for many years. It seems that the Zheng family in Zhangpu and the remnants of Jianwen are deeply involved. Let Zhang Peng and Wang Yue investigate more."
Dai Yi immediately said: "I will go and deliver the order right now."
A naked threat.
Zheng Qingshan's face continued to look ugly as Zhu Jianji spoke every word, and finally turned ashen as death, but he did not dare to interrupt His Highness the Crown Prince. Now he finally waited until Zhu Jianji finished speaking, and immediately said: "Your Highness, the common people have no
Objection, I am willing to use 300,000 taels to buy three mansions and 800 acres of fertile land!"
You see, don't even think about getting better without severe bleeding.
Genocide is possible.
Moreover, if Your Highness really wants to exterminate the Zheng family, there are good reasons. At worst, he will be called a tyrant by future generations, but the Zheng family will actually be exterminated.
Of course Zheng Qingshan knew what to choose.
Simply be more generous.
Give me an extra fifty thousand taels so that His Highness will not be unhappy and continue to manipulate him.
Zhu Jianji shouted, called Dai Yi, and said, "Zhang Peng and Wang Yue are busy with business, so they won't go for the time being."
The other seven clan leaders wailed in their hearts.
More than 300,000 taels, I can get it. After all, I have made a lot of money from overseas smuggling in secret these years. Even so, more than 200,000 taels is still a huge sum of money for nobles like this, and it is bound to break their muscles and bones.
.
Maybe it will be ruined.
But it's better than genocide.
So when Zhu Jianji called the roll call again, these clan leaders were wise. Not only did they not dare to express objections, but they also smiled and said thank you for His Highness's gift.
Although their hearts are bleeding.
The house deeds and land deeds in Zhu Jianji's hands were quickly sold out, so he asked Dai Yi to take them to the Administrative Office to go through the formalities. He was so happy to settle the accounts that his hands cramped in anticipation of counting the money.
After a while, Zhu Jianji's face broke out with laughter.
The method Li Zicheng used worked really well and he really made a fortune!
One million eight hundred thousand taels were recorded!
