Chapter 375: Princess Lin'an(1/3)
Outside the Jiangpu Supply and Marketing Cooperative building.
Zhu Yunxi was sitting on an imperial chair that had been moved from the second floor. Looking at the few scum kneeling in front of him, he felt as if he was in a dream.
He never expected that the student he brought out, Wang Dengke, could do such nasty things.
This Wang Dengke was originally a student he recruited from the Imperial College, and he was considered the first batch of students in the Hope School.
Although he is very poor in mathematics, physics and chemistry, he is still good at writing first-hand articles, which is the talent he plans to focus on cultivating.
However, I asked him to serve as the manager of the Jiangpu County Supply and Marketing Cooperative, intending to train him before entrusting him with important responsibilities in the future.
Unexpectedly, he would cause such a big disaster for himself for his own selfishness.
What made him even more unexpected was that Jiangpu County Magistrate Feng Chaoyang would flatter him through a supply and marketing cooperative manager like Wang Dengke.
Isn’t this flattery a bit far off?
Wang Dengke saw Zhu Yunxi's gloomy face, and his heart fell to the bottom.
Relatively speaking, Feng Chaoyang was still puzzled. He felt that he was clearly working for the emperor's grandson, so why was he caught?
"Are you really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Zhu Yunxi's face was as deep as water.
"yes!"
Feng Chaoyang kowtowed quickly after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, Feng Chaoyang, pays homage to His Royal Highness, the Emperor Taisun. Your Highness is a thousand years old..."
"Everything I did was done under His Highness's will. I really don't know what crime I have committed..."
"According to Gu's will?"
"yes!"
"Wang Dengke told me that the supply and marketing cooperative is His Highness's property and I will take care of it."
"Then I took care of it..."
After hearing this, Zhu Yunxi snorted and looked at Wang Dengke.
"Wang Dengke, come and tell me what is going on!"
When Wang Dengke heard this, he kowtowed and could not say a word.
Zhu Yunxi became even more angry when he saw him like this. He got up from the imperial chair and kicked Wang Dengke.
"waste!"
"What did I tell you then?"
"In the past three years, I didn't even expect the supply and marketing cooperative to make money. You actually dared to purchase goods privately and squeezed out other stores. Have you taken the courage of a bear and a leopard?"
When Wang Dengke saw Zhu Yunxi saying this, he cried bitterly and kowtowed in apology.
"It is a crime to be in a humble position!"
"The humble position has failed His Highness's expectations. Please severely punish His Highness, woo woo woo..."
Zhu Yunxi kicked him for a while until he was tired before returning to the Taishi chair.
"Check to see if anyone was killed!"
After Chang Jizu heard this, he retreated and ordered people to go to four miles and eight villages to investigate.
Wang Dengke hurriedly said after hearing this.
"Back to Your Highness, I am just trying to do meritorious service for Your Highness in my humble position, and I have never caused any harm to anyone!"
"Meritorious service?"
Zhu Yunxi was stunned when he heard this, and then thought about the supply and marketing cooperative's profit of 100,000 taels in a quarter when he was looking at the report.
It turns out that this guy thought that making money for himself was a sign of meritorious service!
"Take a few people aside first!"
"Bring over some merchants from the county government office!"
"promise!"
Not long after, four merchants were brought to Zhu Yunxi. Seeing that the shackles on several of them had not been removed, Zhu Yunxi became furious on the spot.
"Are you blind? Didn't you see the shackles on them?"
"Come here, please remove their shackles immediately!"
When Zhu Yunxi said this, he looked at the people kneeling next to him and saw exactly four of them.
"Then put the shackles on the four people next to you!"
"promise!"
After the four merchants released their shackles, they kowtowed to Zhu Yunxi.
"The grassroots people paid homage to the emperor's grandson. The grassroots people knew their sins, and they no longer dare to do business in the future.
I beg the grandson of the emperor to give the poor people a way to live, woo woo woo..."
Zhu Yunxi felt endless bitterness when he heard this.
What I wanted to do was obviously good governance, so why did I end up like this when I got down there?
Zhu Yunxi stood up again and personally stepped forward to help the four people up.
"I've made the four gentlemen suffer!"
"This matter is Gu's crime. Gu will naturally go to the emperor to apologize."
"But before that, Gu Yao must first deal with these scum and restore the prosperity of Jiangpu County!"
After Zhu Yunxi said these words, he bowed deeply to several people, which scared them to the point where they knelt down again.
However, Zhu Yunxi did not help them personally this time. Instead, he ordered people to give seats to several people, and personally asked about what happened in Jiangpu County during this time.
"Who have your surnames?"
The merchant closest to Zhu Yunxi quickly stood up and said.
"Don't dare!"
"If your surname is Wang, Your Highness, just call the common people Lao Wang..."
"Shopkeeper Wang, may I ask what kind of business you are in?"
"Your Highness, the common people run a cloth shop in Zhujiang Town."
"Is business okay?"
"Go back to Your Highness, it's okay before the supply and marketing cooperative opens..."
When Shopkeeper Wang said this, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Your Highness, spare your life!"
"The common people have no intention of disapproving of His Highness. The common people's business is not good, and they have nothing to do with His Highness's shop..."
Upon seeing this, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly explained.
"You don't have to be afraid!"
"The purpose of setting up a supply and marketing cooperative in isolation is not to compete with you for business, nor is it to make money."
"I am now announcing that not only can your stores operate normally, I will even increase the selling prices of the supply and marketing cooperative's products to prevent them from competing with you."
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang and others looked at the Emperor Taisun in disbelief.
In fact, the emperor Taisun allowed them to continue to open their doors for business, and they were already grateful.
Now they just want to sell all the goods in the store, and then quickly move out of Jiangpu County to a place without supply and marketing cooperatives.
Now the Emperor Taisun told them that not only would they be allowed to continue doing business, but he would also take the initiative to raise the prices of goods in the supply and marketing cooperative, giving them an unreal dream.
"Emperor Grandson, is it difficult for you to make money like this?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly.
"Shopkeeper Wang, if Gu told you that Gu never expected the supply and marketing cooperative to make money, would you believe it?"
Shopkeeper Wang frowned and thought for a while after hearing this.
"letter!"
"Your Highness is rich all over the world. The entire Ming Dynasty belongs to you. Naturally you look down on this little money!"
Zhu Yunxi was so excited when he heard this that he slapped his thigh.
"That's right!"
"I really don't like this little money!"
To be continued...
