Three hundred and ninetieth chapters the only chance
In front of Lao Zhu, we talk about upper class society and lower class society. In front of the emperor, no matter what class you are in, you are all in the bottom class.
However, within two days, Han Du saw the information collected by Grandma Li, two large boxes filled with information.
Aunt Li smiled bitterly and explained: "Sir, I don't know if I don't ask, but I will be shocked if I ask. There are too many businessmen in the capital with a family fortune of more than 1,000 yuan. For this reason, I have to let people start.
Start with the richest and collect downwards. Various wealthy merchants, chambers of commerce, merchant gangs, trading firms, and even scholarly families, official families, duke families, etc. Although I know the approximate number from hearsay.
, but I think it should be enough for adults."
"That's enough, why isn't it enough?" Han Du was very satisfied.
After being reminded by Granny Li, Han Du realized that the rich people in the capital were not just businessmen. They were from scholarly families, official families, and princely families. These families were all extremely wealthy.
.
It seems that the hero posts I post widely cannot be without these people.
But before that, Lao Zhu still needs to be fooled.
"Wei minister pays homage to the emperor." Han Dushi came to see Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu, who was reviewing the memorial, simply raised his eyelids and said to himself: "The weasel came to the door with bad intentions. Tell me, what's the matter with you?"
I......
What happened to Lao Zhu today? Did he take gunpowder?
Han Du swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "The emperor is joking, let alone a weasel, even if the king of beasts comes in front of the emperor, doesn't he have to lie down?"
Lao Zhu glared at Han Du and didn't want to pay attention to his talk, so he asked casually: "Tell me, what do you want to do today?"
After Han Du laughed a few times, he said: "Your Majesty, the Jiaofang Division is about to reopen. Weichen would like to ask the Emperor to go and have a look at that time. If there are any shortcomings, it is best to ask the Emperor to point out Weichen.
.”
After hearing this, Lao Zhu stared at Han Du expressionlessly. The smile on Han Du's face quickly faded. Just when Han Du was about to get frightened, Lao Zhu finally spoke. "What do you think about me going to the Jiaofang Division?"
, is it really appropriate?”
"Of course it wasn't appropriate in the past, but now that the Jiaofang Division has changed, it's okay for the emperor to go see a song and dance performance." In order to make a lot of money, Han Du had already put his life behind him, and invited him hard.
Lao Zhu. If Lao Zhu cannot go to Jiaofangsi, then his plan to establish Jiaofangsi as a symbol of the upper class will come to nothing.
Thinking that there will be so much free money in the future that will soon leave him, Han Du can't care about anything now.
Besides, since the establishment of Jiaofangsi in the Tang Dynasty, it has always been for hosting various performances of the palace. It was only in the Hongwu Year that it declined and became a first-class brothel. Now I just want Jiaofangsi to return to its original role.
It’s just a face, how could Lao Zhu not be able to go to a place like this?
Hearing this, Lao Zhu was noncommittal and without raising his head, he said, "We'll talk about it later. Just step back."
He didn't say he agreed or disagreed. Lao Zhu just wanted to drive Han Du out.
Han Du was still confused when he left the Fengtian Hall and didn't know what to do. If Lao Zhu goes by then, everyone will be happy, but if Lao Zhu doesn't go, he will suffer a big loss.
.
Walking towards the outside of the palace step by step, Han Du decided that it was not okay to go back like this. He simply gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, turned around and headed towards the East Palace.
Aren't they just people from the upper class? People from the upper class don't necessarily have to be Lao Zhu. Could it be that Zhu Biao can't?
"You want me to go to Jiaofangsi?" Zhu Biao looked at Han Du dumbfounded.
Han Du looked at Zhu Biao with a look of hope, squinting his eyes, and nodded continuously.
When Zhu Biao saw this, he laughed out of anger. After pondering for a while, he asked: "Have you been to Father's place? What did Father say?"
Han Du was stunned when he heard this, and saw Zhu Biao looking at him with a determined look. He could only sigh and said truthfully: "Yes, the emperor did not agree, but he did not object. He just said that we will talk about it when the time comes."
Let’s talk about it then?
Zhu Biao licked his father's words carefully, trying to figure out what his father meant. But unfortunately, Zhu Biao was not present at the time, so he could not infer anything more from this sentence. However, Zhu Biao was not present at the time.
One thing Zhu Biao is certain of is that his father has no objection.
My father had no objection, but did that mean that he could also go to the Jiaofang Division? At least, even if he was discovered, he would only be blamed.
Zhu Biao was determined, coughed twice, and asked pointedly: "I heard that you boasted in front of my father, saying that you would turn over one million yuan a year to the inner palace?"
this?
Han Du paused for a moment and smiled suddenly, "I dare not hide it from Your Highness, it is indeed true."
Zhu Biao's face suddenly darkened, and he said angrily: "How can you be so reckless? One million guan, do you know how much a million guan is? The total taxes of Ming Dynasty last year were only 2 million guan.
Do you want to earn half of the world’s taxes for the Ming Dynasty by relying on the Jiaofangsi?"
Two million strings!
Han Du's first reaction after hearing this was, is it so little? There is also a strange feeling that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's taxes were also two million taels of silver?
When Zhu Biao saw Han Du not saying a word, he thought he realized the seriousness of the matter, and said with hatred: "I know you are eager to perform meritorious service in front of my father, so that my father can change his mind and agree to grant An Qing the gift."
I will marry you. But this matter can only be discussed in the long term, do you know that? Your eagerness for success will only lead to the consequences of haste, waste in speed."
Zhu Biao glanced at Han Du and saw that Han Du's eyes were dull. He felt a little unbearable and lowered his tone. He comforted him: "Now you will go with the orphan to see your father and ask him to forgive you this time. As for you and An Qing,
We can only wait and think of a solution later."
When Han Du heard this, his heart warmed, but there was a hardness on his face. The reason why he took over the Jiaofang Division and boasted in front of Lao Zhu that he would hand over one million yuan a year was to make Lao Zhu
Seeing my own value, I hope he can change his mind and grant me a marriage in Anqing.
This is the only possible way to make Lao Zhu change his mind. How could Han Du let Zhu Biao cancel it for him?
"Since His Highness knows that this is an opportunity for me, I have to give it my all." Faced with Zhu Biao reaching out to grab his hand, Han Du stood motionless like roots under his feet. Even if it was Zhu Biao
