"Free trade rights have been obtained! Business can penetrate into the peripheral Birhasuba, Odisha Suba and the central Maratha independent states. The demand for tobacco, wine, porcelain, tools, silk and other commodities has increased by 20.00% compared to last year. %two!"
"In view of the turbulent political situation of the Mughal Empire, the demand for arms has increased by [-]%! Increase the orders of the arsenals in Liaodong!"
bang bang bang~
Now the board of directors may be busier than the emperor Mao Jue. With a thick stack of urgent business documents in hand, the confidential secretaries under the board of directors are like hardworking bees, sneaking in from room to room, carding round ones. The red seal, but in front of the acting executive director's office, this one can't knock on the door no matter how hard you knock.
As Mao Jue, the major shareholder's spokesperson in Jiangnan, the shopkeeper Luo Ningluo actually skipped work!
At this time, in an inconspicuous tavern by the West Lake, no one would have guessed that this petite woman wrapped in black gauze and dressed like the Arab women of later generations, was the one who could cough enough. The treasurer of Luo Da who bankrupted a country.
On the other side of her, there is also no unknown person. The Nanming Empire has recently joined the cabinet, and it is Zhang Pu, a scholar of the Martial Arts Hall of Governor Wenzhou.
The changes brought about by Mao Jue are really great. Even Mr. Renxue, who was full of articles in the past, now utters the smell of money. Looking around cautiously, Zhang Pu completely lost the arrogance he had when facing Senior Donglin. With a low profile, he saluted with a smiling face.
"Zhang pays respects to shopkeeper Luo!"
However, Luo Ning did not show the slightest respect for him, the prime minister of the empire. Instead, his handsome face was filled with impatience, and he asked impatiently and rudely, "Where's my brother?"
"I'm here!"
In the same impolite and impatient voice, Luo Zhen really struggled to show his head, and promised, but just this sentence, like a great gift to Luo Ning, instantly filled her cheeks with a warm smile like an angel , said happily and hastily.
"Xiao Zhen, you are finally willing to come back!"
"I've already ordered people to prepare a banquet at the old house, all of which you like to eat! There is also a fragrant soup bath prepared for you! Let's go with sister!"
The little hand stretched out longingly, who knew that Luo Zhen threw off the cloak and stepped back like an electric shock, causing Luo Ning's hand to stay in the air in embarrassment, and a deep loss appeared in her pupils.
The conflict between the siblings made Zhang Pu also look embarrassed, he hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over and said: "Don't worry about the treasurer Luo, now Mr. Luo is a senior official of the household department of my court, and he is in charge of opening the sea and trade. In one place, after all, he is still half of Zhang’s immediate boss!”
"The waiter?"
Hearing this official name, Luo Ning once again showed a contemptuous look on his face, but in a blink of an eye, he looked at Luo Zhen full of expectation again.
"Xiaozhen, come back! You want power. In the current East India Company, any position is more powerful than the chief assistant of this gnawing country. Even if you want, sister can help you build a country overseas. You It's the king! Okay?"
"Hmph! You were the one who ordered that humble and rough warrior to cut off my legs! Cut off my hope! Now you still want me to bow my knees in front of that traitor? My achievements today are all due to my hard work. , my son will never accept the handouts from that traitorous official! You should give up your heart!"
With a gloomy face, Luo Zhen yelled fiercely with incomparable hatred, once again dimming the warmth on Luo Ning's face. After a long time, she finally nodded with great difficulty.
"Since you have a good life, then it's good..., then it's good..."
"Treasurer Luo!"
After a few more seconds, Zhang Pu interjected in a difficult situation: "About what I mentioned to you last time, about the acquisition of the Wenzhou batch of Nanyang goods, what do you think?"
When the conversation returned to business, Luo Ning instantly became shrewd and sharp. With her arms folded, she sat up straight with disdain, and said coldly: "Master Zhang, the concubine made it very clear last time, the company With more than half of the supply in Southeast Asia, the company doesn't care about your stuff at all, at [-]% of the price, it's up to you to sell it or not!"
"[-]% is too low! Shopkeeper Luo! Let's add [-]%!"
The catastrophe last year almost caused Nanming's industry and commerce to fall apart. Even if Fushe won a staged victory in the court, it could not change the current situation of the disastrous defeat in the business war, and it also aroused the hostility of the Donglin landlords. Holding money, the big landlords in the south of the Yangtze River represented by Qian Qianyi would rather import spices and jade luxury goods from Southeast Asia from Hangzhou and Quanzhou than come to rescue the market. There is really no way out. pleaded.
But even if the hostile relationship between the two sides is put aside, in terms of business, the spice pearls from Southeast Asia are enough to saturate the market. How can Luo Ning spend a high price to buy these things from Wenzhou?
But there are always some things in the world that outweigh the benefits. On this side, Luo Ning had just ruthlessly refused, and on the other side, Luo Zhen had already stood up angrily, roaring angrily.
"Master Zhang, I told you a long time ago that this bitch is a loyal lackey surnamed Mao, so there is no need to talk to her! Let's go!"
"I am the Minister of the Household Department. If His Majesty wants to blame you, I will bear it alone!"
"Xiao Zhen, you!"
Those composure and shrewdness disappeared, and Luo Ning stood up in a panic again, stretching out his hand forward.
He didn't leave either, Zhang Pu showed an ugly face, and bowed heavily with fists in his arms.
"Shopkeeper Luo, please!"
"This......"
For a moment, Luo Ning was completely upset.
Chapter 744. Digging the roots
"Hi old friend!"
With a clatter, a black leather notebook was thrown on the table, and when Mao Jue raised his head helplessly, Adelaine had already left the door with her little butt twisted, and gave him a chic back of the head.
Turning his head away, the new No. [-] secretary, Selita, was looking at him with an innocent face, and Mao Jue himself showed a helpless face. He is probably the most undignified emperor.
And that's not the only trouble. He opened the black leather book and took a look, then sighed again. Mao Jue raised his head and asked Selita, "Is there any red-headed secret letter from the Hangzhou headquarters?"
"Ah! Back to Your Majesty, no!"
Now the Spanish girl was fluent in official language, with a Latin-tinged voice as fluent as an oriole. Unfortunately, Mao Jue sighed again and threw the black leather notebook into the brazier casually.
At this time, a scent came in, holding a cup of fragrant tea, Adelaine came in slowly, and put her small face on Mao Jue's table with a stern face. Wang also found a secretary with a foreign girl, who is still a little bit bitter about her.
But even though he was angry, the cup of tea was placed in front of Mao Jue steadily, without spilling a little bit.
He took a sip of the tea and put down the cup. A smile appeared on the corner of Mao Jue's mouth, and Adelena who was smiling pouted again angrily, humming out of nothing to say.
"The new corps has already set up an airs. The old Liaodong officer was drawn from the Liaodong army. The commander of the army is the former Gao Jie's Liu Guiai. The officer who was trained by Yuan Dushi is very brave in battle. Now the gunmen of Goryeo , The soldiers of the Japanese kingdom have arrived, and the Mongolian cavalry is missing."
"But I can't figure it out, why do you want to form such a mixed corps?"
"Give it to the bastard, the prince!"
"You want the prince to be in charge of the army? In the history of your China, you have never heard of the death of the prince, have you?"
Listening to Mao Jue's words, Adelaina couldn't help screaming in surprise!
The military power of the capital has always been a sensitive topic, and the relationship between the emperor and the prince is also extremely delicate. There are many princes who can't wait to rebel and ask their father to retire in advance. According to the current tense relationship between the emperor and the prince, it is possible for the prince to control the military power. Not good news.
In particular, this army is still composed of soldiers from Han, Mongolian, Japanese, Korean and other vassal states. It is not like the pure Ming army, and it is easier for the crown prince to completely master this army.
For a moment, Adelaine even thought that Mao Jue might use this to lure the prince to rebel, so she simply got rid of the prince's family!But imagining the relationship in the palace, she felt that it seemed impossible anyway.
Fortunately, Mao Jue solved her doubts with the next sentence when Adelaine's head was three points high.
"Not in the capital, Jinshan City is being built in the New World. I plan to wait for the construction of Jinshan City to be completed, and then send the prince to be the city governor."
"To fight the world immediately cannot rule the world immediately! But if you can't even ride a horse, how can you rule the world? This kid has lived in the inner house since he was a child. He has never seen the world. He is like Chongzhen, thinking that those Confucian principles are everything. These days, I have followed Lao Tzu, although he has improved a bit, but he is still far away from taking over the throne! He can only grow if he has experienced real experience!"
"How dare you think!"
Adelena couldn't help but tilted her head and smiled wryly. She had already foreseen how much disturbance Mao Jue's order would cause in Chao Wenchen!
