790. Chapter 790 Digging a hole: Waiting for you to jump [9]
With the popularity of diamonds, the price once soared, but there was still no market. Mu Jieyu gradually suppressed the prices of other industries under his control. Within a month, the two large areas of Yongjing and Nanjiang would be
The Yongjing Chamber of Commerce was blocked and lost money for a whole month. Even though it was only a drop in the bucket for the Yongjing Chamber of Commerce, it had never been encountered since the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the Yongjing Chamber of Commerce knew in its heart that only the diamond in Mu Jieyu's hand
If production is not stopped for a day, their life will become increasingly difficult.
The Yongjing Chamber of Commerce was already in dire straits, but with a stroke of Mu Jieyu's pen, things were once again in dire straits.
Due to the severe snow disaster in Baili, although the treasury was still full, Emperor Hong'an would not hide anything in the face of the disaster. However, after all, the treasury was the foundation of the dynasty, so Emperor Hong'an was naturally cautious. As one round after another, money was exported from the treasury.
, after exchanging grain, cotton wool and cloth, although Belle's disaster was alleviated, it was still not fundamentally resolved. Emperor Hong'an began to frown deeply.
However, when he saw the memorial that Mu Jieyu asked Prince Jing to seal, it suggested that he donate food to each merchant's account according to the profit in the past ten years to solve Belle's problem, and seal his subordinates, including the Mu family (Mu
Zhong), Lu's Trading Company, Prince Rong's Mansion and all the merchants under her personal name, as well as the profits of the past ten years, and donated the appropriate amount according to the profits, and finally presented the joint signatures of five hundred merchants. Emperor Hong'an immediately used cinnabar
He approved it and immediately asked Prince Ying Xuanyuan Zhiqi, who had regained control of the household department, to assist Prince Jing in handling it personally.
Once the order was issued, small businesses had nothing to do because they had little profit and could only donate a little bit. The big merchants had already greeted Mu Jieyu who could speak well, so they accepted it without objection.
, and the Yongjing Chamber of Commerce is a joint name, with countless underground accounts, and their chamber of commerce was established more than ten years earlier than Mu Jieyu, and their profits in the past ten years were definitely more substantial than Emperor Hong'an's treasury. When they received the imperial edict
At that moment, they almost fainted collectively.
Although this can't move their muscles and bones, it actually cuts off a piece of their flesh and blood. Unfortunately, they still can't find an ally. Now, all the small-scale trading houses are pointing at Mu Jieyu to supply diamonds. Isn't that one looking at Mu Jieyu?
Jieyu's facial expression?
Even though they were extremely unwilling, they still had to obediently offer it with both hands! What made them even more depressed was that this incident directly led to their attempt to use the Baili Snow Disaster to trick Mu Jieyu into giving birth to twins, which would bring about unknown consequences and make the people of Belle suffer.
The attention of God's punishment was stillborn.
There is no other reason, because Emperor Hong'an clearly issued a decree to commend Mu Jieyu for his "great righteousness". The people of Belle were now grateful to Mu Jieyu for his generosity after receiving the imperial notice!
The days passed slowly as Mu Jieyu spared no effort to suppress the Yongjing Chamber of Commerce. In the blink of an eye, it was the first birthday party of King Cheng's legitimate son in early March. How could Mu Jieyu, as an aunt, not attend?
Because currently there are only three wives in the royal family, Jiang Wan, Mu Jieyu, and Princess Xin. Princess Xin has long been forgotten because of King Xin’s affairs. The princess pointed out to King Ying by Emperor Hong’an at the New Year’s Eve banquet the year before last year was in the early summer of last year.
He died suddenly in the palace. It is said that King Ying loved this princess so much that he volunteered to carry her soul for two years. Emperor Hong'an couldn't resist him, so he found a concubine for him, and they got married in July last year.
