Although Princess Shaoyang is young, she is not a fool. She did not come with a guard of honor in a big way, but came with a few maids in a low-key manner. Seeing her walk away in despair, Mu Jieyu did not pursue the matter any further. What, but the original plan was moved forward.
In less than three days, Mu Jieyu asked his subordinates to secretly spread the word about Dexinyuan. Sure enough, after learning that the emperor spent money to buy the house, Mu Jieyu obviously found that he was staring at Jia Jia. There were fewer people in the garden, so she took a good rest at home for a few days.
April 4th is Yongjing Chamber of Commerce Day.
This chamber of commerce was once a big tycoon. The current Marquis of Dingnan rose in the seventh year of Fengze. Emperor Hong'an established his capital in Yongjing. The Luo family, which was already a vassal, gave up their fiefdom and stayed in Yongjing to enjoy the treatment of the noble family. Yu Hong In the second year of An's reign, the Yongjing Chamber of Commerce was established.
From the beginning when the Dingnanhou family was the dominant one, to the end when the eight great nobles were on equal footing. It experienced countless ups and downs, and finally grew into the huge and complex force it is today. After twelve years of development, the Yongjing Chamber of Commerce took advantage of its huge His network of relationships has attracted most of the merchants from the prosperous land into the Chamber of Commerce.
The Yongjing Chamber of Commerce was so powerful that Mu Jieyu didn't believe that Emperor Hong'an didn't know about it, nor did he believe that Emperor Hong'an didn't keep tabs on it. It was just that it was too involved. One mistake would paralyze the economic hub of the Great Jing Dynasty in an instant. This was also One of the main reasons why Emperor Hong'an had so much forbearance towards the meritorious family.
Mu Jieyu vaguely felt that Emperor Hong'an's forbearance was getting closer and closer to the limit, so he had to start from the root. Mu Zhong had a lot of troubles in his official career over the years. In the end, there was no escape, and he kept sending people secretly. The people who protect Mu Zhong have long realized that there is a force behind Mu Zhong hiding in the dark, and will never show up until a critical moment of life and death. Although they have not yet been able to find out who those people are, Mu Jieyu guesses that there is a high probability that they are. He was a member of Emperor Hong'an. Emperor Hong'an needed someone to break the balance in the court, and he also needed someone to break the bonds between meritorious families entangled by interests.
Such a person is no different than Mu Zhong, who is the best candidate.
Mu Zhong's identity destined him to win or lose with the Duke of Fu. Emperor Hong'an supported Mu Zhong in order to use Mu Zhong's hand to attack the Duke of Fu. The Duke of Fu was the representative of the four major families. Emperor Hong'an needed to fight. To break down the eight major meritorious deeds, we must start with the Chamber of Commerce. Mu Zhong’s natal family is the richest man in Nanjiang. Now Mu Zhong has to get involved in Yongjing. With the financial power of the Lu family, although it is not as good as that of the eight aristocratic families, it is definitely comparable to it. They are both powerful, so how can this make them not jealous?
Therefore, from the time when the Lu family's funds intervened in Yongjing, they were destined to either be on the same front as the Yongjing Chamber of Commerce, or to be at odds with the Yongjing Chamber of Commerce. The former would become a thorn in the emperor's side, and with the foundation of the Lu family, he would be looked upon by the emperor at any time. It would naturally not work to replace the chess piece with someone else, so they could only use the Imperial Shuriken to point their finger at the Yongjing Chamber of Commerce.
Mu Jieyu thought this way out of consideration for the interests of the Lu family. Not only would he not be able to earn money by joining the Chamber of Commerce, but he would accompany him anyway, and he would become an enemy of Emperor Hong'an. Only by competing with the Yongjing Chamber of Commerce could they gain the greatest chance of winning. At the same time, behind them The emperor will also make Mu Zhong's career smooth sailing.
Mu Jieyu held the Chamber of Commerce invitation sent by his uncle in his hand, with a sneer on his lips: "Go, why not?"
