Du Rong's face became increasingly ugly: "Aren't we thinking of a solution?"

"It's just that at this time, His Royal Highness has completely taken the initiative, and we have no chance."

The merchants had helpless smiles on their faces: "Now I'm afraid that even if we want to admit defeat, the prince will not accept it."

Suddenly, someone seemed to have remembered something and shouted: "By the way, this incident is not entirely our fault. It was the adults who told us that the King of England did not dare to do anything to us."

"Now that something like this has happened, don't the adults show any signs of it?"

Someone sneered disdainfully and said: "What do you mean? Those adults are all eager to be cowards, how could they come out and get into trouble?"

"Humph." A businessman sitting at the bottom slammed the table hard.

"If they can't give us an explanation this time, the worst we can do is to die."

"If I die, they won't be able to live a good life."

After hearing his words, many people had expressions of sympathy on their faces.

This guy was doing pretty well in business.

However, compared with many big businessmen, there is still a slight gap.

Of course, this gap is not big, and with the support of the Minister of Rites behind him, business is going smoothly.

This time, His Royal Highness the King of England publicly invited tenders, and he directly became ruthless.

Borrowed a large sum of money to tender for His Majesty's project.

Originally, because of the loan, the project he contracted was not particularly profitable.

However, as long as you survive the toughest initial period, your business will definitely get better and better in the future.

As a result, he was encouraged by the Minister of Rites and fired the workers along with them.

It would be fine if their threat succeeded, but now that they are about to fail, this guy will lose all his money.

Others only had their muscles and bones broken, but his body was completely gone.

No wonder you go to extremes.

This is also the reason why these people have been discussing and discussing, but they have never been able to come up with a result.

Everyone's situation is different, so it's impossible to generalize.

Some people have invested huge amounts of money, and if they lose all their money, they will go bankrupt.

Such people have become completely ruthless and can do anything.

But there are also people who will suffer miserably.

However, you can still persevere.

Such people hope to use gentle methods as much as possible to avoid really angering the court, and then they will only be the unlucky ones.

Everyone has their own thoughts, and if they can come up with the result through consultation, then there is a ghost.

Until it was time to light the lanterns, the businessmen headed by Du Rong did not come up with a solution.

Finally, they all left in disgust.

Everything they did could not escape the eyes of Jin Yiwei.

After Zhu Han received the report from Jin Yiwei, he casually gave this thing to Liu Shenhong.

"Let's see, this is the process of their negotiation. Are you still worried about what big trouble these businessmen can cause?"

Liu Shenhong had always been worried that if these businessmen were pushed into a hurry, they would jump over the wall and cause irreparable losses to the court.

After all, the businessmen gathered in Yanjing City now are the richest businessmen in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Han, on the other hand, immediately offended all these businessmen.

If these businessmen become ruthless, it is no joke.

But Liu Shenhong never expected that these people were simply a ball of loose sand that could not be pinched together.

"You still have plenty to learn." Zhu Han sighed.

Liu Shenhong is actually a smart man.

However, the current environment of this era has limited him.

"Your Majesty is wise. It's true that I thought too much." Liu Shenhong said with a wry smile.

Although he also knew that these businessmen might not be able to achieve anything big.

But there wasn't even a single wave, which was a bit disappointing.

"You don't think too much." Zhu Han hated that iron can't be made into steel, because he thought too little.

After calling Liu Shenhong for one round, Zhu Han stopped talking.

There are some things that light is useless. No matter how many principles or skills you have learned, it will not work if you have not experienced it personally and cannot turn it into your own experience.

After this experience, Liu Shenhong will definitely grow up.

The six ministers of the Eyes, as well as several officials at the top level of power, gathered together again.

Li Huairen gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it, the King of England solved this level so easily."

The Minister of Rites, Shu Tan, sighed: "I think His Royal Highness the King of England probably already knows what we are going to do. This is basically a pocket formation waiting for us to get into it ourselves. Help."

Li Huairen said disdainfully: "Don't talk about hindsight. The question now is, what should we do?"

"The merchants under our command have now been beaten to pieces by the King of England."

"I think many of those businessmen have been frightened by His Royal Highness."

"Even if they risk losing money, they don't want to stay in Yanjing City and go against His Royal Highness."

The Minister of Civil Affairs snorted dissatisfiedly: "I know these businessmen are unreliable. We usually give them so much convenience, but at critical moments they only think about how to run away. They are really a bunch of white-eyed wolves."

Everyone who heard the words of the Minister of Civil Affairs rolled their eyes.

There is an old saying that goes well.

If a tree doesn't want its bark, it will surely die. If a person has no shame, it will be invincible.

He is worthy of being a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

They are so shameless that they feel ashamed of themselves.

Those businessmen are risking their lives and wealth, but they are just sitting in the rear and commanding.

Moreover, most of the officials present only have a "cooperative" relationship with those businessmen.

Why should people spend all their belongings to help people like them?

Of course, only a few people have these ideas.

For most officials in this era, businessmen are no better than toilet paper.

Use them when you need them, and think they are dirty when you are done with them.

Moreover, neither officials nor businessmen seemed to think there was anything wrong with doing so.

The Minister of the Ministry of War was impatient and interrupted the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

"Sir, what's the point of talking about this now?"

"The question now is, what are we going to do in the future? With His Royal Highness...or..."

The Secretary of the Ministry of War paused twice in a row, and his words came out stumbling, as if he was stuttering.

But everyone understood the meaning of the Minister of War.

Should we remain stubborn to the end, or should we give in to His Majesty the King of England and shake hands to make peace now?

As soon as these words were spoken, the dark room suddenly fell silent.

This matter is really too important, and the arrangement is related to their personal life and death.

It may even affect the life and death of their entire family.

Therefore, no one dared to speak first.

In this strangely peaceful atmosphere.

Suddenly someone burst out laughing.

The one who laughs is out of breath, and it is so funny that he might die laughing at any time.

Everyone looked in the direction where the laughter came from.

They wanted to see who could still laugh at such a time.

It didn't matter. Many people immediately gnashed their teeth in hatred.

The one who laughed at them at this time turned out to be Wang Dong, the minister of Dali Temple.

Li Huairen slapped the table and cursed: "Wang Dong, what's so funny about this?"
