The people in the attic in the middle of the lake don’t know about the discussion between Cathay Corridor and Minyin Corridor.
At this moment, people on the first floor of the attic are engaged in a silent contest.
The five ministers were exploring and pulling with all the businessmen.
There is also a vague game going on between businessmen and businessmen. The businessmen who are not sitting in the imperial merchant position are thinking about how to fight for the imperial merchant position. The ten people sitting in the imperial merchant position are looking at each other, secretly thinking in their hearts.
Evaluate other people’s situations.
"I heard that Hall Master Shi seems to be a descendant of the Long family?"
As soon as Dongfang Changhong's words came out, there was a brief silence on the scene, and everyone looked at Shi Fuxin.
As a shopping mall legend, the descendants of the Long family are still very influential to businessmen.
Shi Fuxin looked at Dongfang Changhong and said with a smile: "You can remove the likeness." After saying that, she glanced at the second floor and said loudly, "I am the real descendant of the dragon."
Dongfang Changhong paused, the descendant of Long, not the descendant of the Long family.
Is it a slip of the tongue?
The descendants of the dragon and the descendants of the dragon family should have the same meaning.
Hu Xinrui suddenly looked at Shi Fuxin, her eyes flashing with unknown emotions, and her mind immediately remembered the scene of sneaking into the secret room of the Hu family when she was a child.
In a yellowed book, she read a sentence that Queen Wende claimed to be the descendant of the dragon.
Because that book was a biography of the ancestors of the Hu family who recorded their acquaintance and interaction with Queen Wende, she once thought that the ancestors' records were wrong, and even went to her grandfather for confirmation.
'Just think of it how your ancestors remember it.' That's what her grandfather answered her.
Yes, her ancestors had passed away a long time ago, and she could still live to make corrections. She always thought that her ancestors' records were wrong, but today she heard that Shi Fuxin also claimed to be the descendant of the dragon.
He is a descendant of the dragon, not a descendant of the Long family!
Is this a coincidence?
Hu Xinrui's gaze was so intense that Shi Fuxin couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to. She turned around and looked over. Unexpectedly, she turned away as soon as she caught her gaze.
Du Zixuan also noticed Hu Xinrui's strangeness and looked at her in confusion.
Hu Xinrui shook her head at Du Zixuan, and then became a little distracted, casting her eyes at Shi Fuxin from time to time.
Do the descendants of the dragon and the descendants of the dragon family have the same meaning?
The twelve zodiac hall masters who followed Queen Wende back then always called themselves descendants of the Long family. It’s impossible for all the twelve families to remember it wrong, right?
While Hu Xinrui was thinking about this, Shi Fuxin and Dongfang Changhong were already exploring each other back and forth.
"Boss Dongfang's surname is Dongfang. Are you and the Duke of Ming Dynasty one family?"
After Dongfang Changhong said that Shi Fuxin was a descendant of the Long family, he directly caused a lot of fear and hostility to Shi Fuxin.
There is no way, who makes the descendants of the Long family business legends.
Now Shi Fuxin's words have also pushed Dongfang Changhong to the top of the wave.
The emperor's displeasure with the Ming government was known even to local businessmen in various provinces.
A hint of coldness flashed across Dongfang Changhong's eyes, and he looked at Shi Fuxin with a half-smile but not a smile: "Is it possible that all the people with the surname Dongfang came from the Duke of Ming Dynasty?"
Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "Of course not. I don't know the origin of Boss Dongfang, so I asked casually. Speaking of which, is Boss Dongfang a member of the Duke of Ming Dynasty?"
Dongfang Changhong smiled: "I said no, do you believe it?"
Shi Fuxin also laughed: "I don't believe it."
Dongfang Changhong laughed twice: "As expected, you are the master of Shennong Hall who opened medicine halls all over the border and wiped out the Sea Snake Gang and seized two large islands overnight. You are really humorous in what you say."
It took the imperial court several months to attack the Turtle Gang, but Shennongtang lost a pirate gang overnight and successfully captured two islands.
This power...
After hearing this, the people on the first floor and the emperor and others on the second floor all had their eyes flashing with fear.
Chu Yao noticed the emperor's expression and rubbed his forehead with a headache. He knew that once something was exposed, it would be out of control.
Shi Fuxin looked at Dongfang Changhong coldly: "Compared with the Turtle Gang, the Sea Snake Gang is just a small gang and not worth mentioning. Does Boss Dongfang know about the Turtle Gang?"
Dongfang Changhong's eyes narrowed and he avoided answering. He just said: "Master Shi, please be humble. The Sea Snake Gang is a famous pirate in the South China Sea." After saying that, he looked at Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan, and brought them into the conversation.
, "You two, am I right?"
Hu Xinrui glanced at Shi Fuxin and said calmly: "The Sea Snake Gang cannot be compared with the Turtle Gang."
Du Zixuan was a little surprised when Hu Xinrui helped Shi Fuxin speak, but thinking that the three of them were women and should help each other, he followed suit: "I have never taken the Sea Snake Gang seriously."
The implication of their words was that they both agreed with Shi Fuxin.
Dongfang Changhong looked at Shi Fuxin and the others with a half-smile but not a smile: "The three of them are very much in tune with each other."
Hu Xinrui’s expression remained unchanged: “We are just telling the truth.”
Dongfang Changhong chuckled.
Shi Fuxin nodded towards Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan to express her gratitude.
At this time, the Minister of Revenue came down from the second floor.
"Everyone present has made great contributions to the prosperity and development of Dachu. In recent years, various parts of Dachu have been hit by droughts or floods, and many people have lived a very difficult life."
"Because the imperial court has to resist foreign invasion, the treasury has long been depleted. Now that the imperial court is in trouble, we have to rely on you for many things."
After hearing this, the businessmen who were still thinking about the positions of Shi Fuxin and the others stopped thinking.
Sure enough, being an imperial merchant this time is not that easy. The treasury is depleted. How much money should be donated?
When the court is in trouble, why don’t we have the money and strength to contribute?
"There are only ten imperial merchants. The emperor has said that the ten that have made the highest contributions to Da Chu will be elected as the imperial merchants for this period for a period of ten years."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.
The Minister of Household Affairs sat back and said: "Now everyone can speak freely." The implication is that you can bid for the code.
Shi Fuxin looked around at the people present, and she knew very well that it was very difficult for merchants to take the initiative to cut meat.
The first shot was the first, but the risks and benefits are directly proportional. Shennongtang is too involved with the border soldiers, and the emperor will definitely be wary of it, so he has to dispel some of his hostility.
Even if the emperor cannot completely remove his fear of Shennongtang, he still needs to gain some favor from him.
Shi Fuxin pondered for a moment, and asked the businessmen present to roll up so that the emperor could benefit more. After thinking about it, she said: "Let me start."
"I grew up in a military camp on the border. My father and brother have both been on the battlefield, and I know that the conditions on the border are difficult. Now that Shennongtang has made some money, it's time to give something back."
"Shen Nong Tang should build a road on the border, connecting the nine fortresses and cities in the northwest, true north and northeast of the border."
As soon as these words came out, all the businessmen were stunned.
The Minister of Revenue also swallowed his saliva and looked at Shi Fuxin eagerly: "Master Shi, do you know how much money it costs to build such a road?"
Shi Fuxin said with a smile: "Just repair it piece by piece, and you will be able to repair it in ten years."
Hearing this, many businessmen wanted to stand up and scold Shi Fuxin. She was mentally ill. She wanted to build roads as soon as she came up. How much money should they pay?
This was not over yet. After Shi Fuxin finished speaking, Hu Xinrui thought for a while and said: "Piracy is rampant in the coastal areas, and Japanese pirates harass us from time to time. Let's just donate a hundred warships from Haixingxing."
"Of course, we won't be able to produce so many warships at one time. Let's take ten years, ten ships per year."
Seeing that Hu Xinrui was as heroic as Shi Fuxin, all the six ministers could not calm down, especially the minister of the Ministry of War. With a hundred warships, Da Chu could have another batch of naval officers.
The six ministers were excited, but the other businessmen were extremely dark-faced.
Shennongtang and Haixingxing both built roads and donated ships. How much money did they spend?
If the money they offer is too different from theirs, the emperor will definitely be annoyed.
These two people want to please the emperor, so why drag them along?
Soon, Du Zixuan also spoke: "Let's build granaries in Guanglicang, ten in each province."
The businessmen were numb, but the ministers were crazy with joy.
They didn't expect that the three female bosses would be so generous with their actions, giving up more than the men.
Dongfang Changhong's eyes wandered back and forth on Shi Fuxin and the others. Are the three of them imitating the behavior of the heirs of the Long family?
During the Taizu period, the descendants of the Long family supported the development of Da Chu while making money.
The descendants of the Long family obeyed Queen Wende.
Dongfang Changhong was a little stunned. Speaking of which, he is the descendant of Queen Wende, and he is the one who should inherit Queen Wende's will. How can he be inferior to three women?
"Dongchanghui... is willing to build a post station for Dachu."
