Shanxi Camp, the old residence of the Bai family.

In the inner hall, the two people looked at each other silently. One of them, Zhu Youjian, was sitting upright on a Taishi chair. He had taken off his gold armor and was only wearing a narrow-sleeved arrow uniform. There was also a cavalry weapon hanging on his belt.

The lancet, scabbard and handle are all plain and simple, and there are signs of wear and tear, so it is obviously a real thing that has been used frequently.

The other person was Widow Xu, kneeling upright on a futon, facing Zhu Youjian, her body upright, her chest rising and falling rapidly, her pretty face still stained with tears,

He looked so pitiful, but he still had the ferocity that he had just wanted to compete with the little emperor.

The room was so quiet that you could hear the breathing of the two of them. Zhu Youjian's breathing was steady, while Widow Xu's breathing was a little rapid. She was obviously frightened, scared and helpless.

Widow Xu was able to become the general merchant of Shanxi merchants in Beijing at a young age, not only because of the strength of the Bai family's Tianzihao. How could she be the chief merchant if she couldn't manage the Tianzihao well enough?

But how could she, a female profiteer who could handle all aspects well in the city of Beijing where dragons and crouching tigers were hidden, could not figure out the thoughts of the little Banzai in front of her at all?

Is this little Long Live who came all the way to the Shanxi Camp outside Beijing just to catch him as a traitor to the country?

Didn’t the Ming Dynasty have Jinyiwei? If you can’t trust the Jinyiwei, there are also Dongchang and Zhangqian troops who can come and arrest them!

She didn't even need to arrest her. After a verbal order, she had to tie herself up and send her to prison. Of course, being bound to prison was just a gesture. Behind this gesture, there were various operations and money transfers from all parties. That was

Indispensable. Although the Bai family's Tianzihao will inevitably be severely damaged, her life can still be saved.

But the little emperor pounced on him... and claimed that he wanted to rob someone!

What exactly does he mean?

Falling in love with her own beauty? That’s not true... Widow Xu said to herself: Although I have some beauty, but he is an emperor, what kind of beauties don’t exist? Do you have to do it like this? It would be unpleasant to spread the news.

ah!

"It's not bad...a bit pretty, and not too old!"

Just when Widow Xu's heart was pounding, Zhu Youjian spoke, and he never said anything nice.

Widow Xu's heart was pounding, but Zhu Youjian didn't pounce on him like a lustful and unscrupulous king. He just sighed and said: "Widow Xu, for the sake of the Bai family, for your son, a womanly family,

It’s really not easy to show up, deal with all parties, and take all kinds of risks.

And I... I am so young and have the world on my shoulders, and it is even more difficult when the mountains and rivers are in ruins! It's difficult for you, so you can't be a widow properly, and you can't do business in a decent way.

.I'm in trouble, so I can't be a well-behaved and wise king, let alone think of any good things like governing from the top... If I want to be well-behaved, the world will be in chaos, and it's hard to say whether the Ming Dynasty can survive.

And if you behave yourself, your son's little bit of property will be swallowed up to the point where nothing is left!"

What on earth did the little emperor want to say? Widow Xu was confused, but she felt a little calmer inside.

But Zhu Youjian changed the topic at this time and started talking about things that made Widow Xu blush and make her heart beat.

"Widow Xu, do you know why I want to rob you?"

Isn't it because of the gluttonous body? The forehead body is so good-looking! Suddenly an idea came to Widow Xu's mind that made her blush...

Zhu Youjian didn't pay attention to the change in the widow's face. He just kept to himself and said: "Because you are the only female among the eight Shanxi merchants in Beijing, and you are also a young and beautiful widow. You are most suitable to be my royal mistress." You are also a profiteer for the emperor, so I ignored the opinions of the world and snatched you away! Although you have ruined your reputation, you are a widow who has been exposed to the public, and you are a member of the Zhenxi Guards, so I don't think you care too much about this."

What is a royal mistress? Widow Xu said to herself: And...what does the royal profiteer mean? Doesn't it look like a profiteer? It's a real business, and she never cheats!

Zhu Youjian then said: "I am interested in your Widow Xu's ability to manage the Bai family's famous family business! Now I am surrounded by not only powerful warriors, but also those who can manage the army and handle affairs. Civil servants, but there are no businessmen who can manage the Huangzhuang property for me... Shen Tingyang of the Shen family in Chongming is a capable businessman, but he has too many worries and does not dare to wade into the muddy waters of Huangzhuang. Moreover, his family's foundation is on the rivers and seas, not near the capital. If you insist on squeezing in, you are afraid of being besieged by all sides, your life will not be easy, and your errands may not be able to be done well. But you are different. You are the general merchant of Shanxi merchants in Beijing, and you are in charge of the Bai family Tian brand that has been passed down for more than two hundred years. You are closely related to Da Ju in the palace, and you are also the goddaughter of Xu Yingyuan and the Hakka family. Let you control part of the industry in Huangzhuang. , shouldn’t be too difficult, right?”

Controlling the property of Huangzhuang... Widow Xu said in her heart: How many people's wealth will be cut off!

Moreover, the long-standing shortcomings of the imperial estate were too deep. It can be said that Emperor Taizu Gao never thought carefully about how to manage the royal estate when he opened up the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that Widow Xu was silent, Zhu Youjian also knew that this young lady was also afraid of those father-in-laws from the Royal Horse Prison!

Zhu Youjian laughed and said: "I know that the people in the Royal Horse Prison are eyeing the interests of Huangzhuang, and it is not easy for anyone to get in... That's why I want to rob you, I rob you , you are my woman! With this name, other profiteers can’t compare to you, and those in the Royal Horse Supervisor can only let you do it. This famous family business, and even the entire Bai family No one dares to touch our property. Isn’t there hundreds of thousands of taels of money saved every year to contribute to various parties?"

"Your Majesty wants..." Widow Xu asked timidly, "Want to take a concubine into the palace?"

"You don't have to enter the palace. Once you enter the palace... you will be in a prison. How can you do things for me?" Zhu Youjian said, "But I will give you a bluffing name, and I will grant you the title of serving the country later." Madam, no one will dare to touch you this way!"

Mrs. Fengguo? Widow Xu trembled, thinking of her godmother, Mrs. Fengsheng... She had been chopped into pieces with 3,600 knives. It was so miserable!

Zhu Youjian looked at Widow Xu's scared look and said with a smile: "When the late Emperor was alive, no one dared to touch a hair of the Holy Lady!"

But if you are gone... Widow Xu raised her eyelids and glanced at Zhu Youjian. The little emperor looked quite strong. I wonder if he can live a long life?

Zhu Youjian added: "And I don't want you to take away all the money and water of the Yuma Jian... I don't want those eunuchs to jump over the wall in a hurry! But I don't want to expand the interests of the Yuma Jian anymore. These days

I confiscated a lot of properties, the market value of which is estimated to be thirty million taels. Next, I will confiscate Prince Fu's house, which is another huge amount of property! If I can make 10% profit from these properties, I can earn several million a year.

, you can waive the Liaoning salary and let the people take a breather. This 10% profit is not difficult for you, right?"

It turns out that Zhu Youjian was also the richest man in the Ming Dynasty!

Right from the beginning!

The royal family of the Ming Dynasty had many industries. In addition to land, there were also a large number of royal shops, many imperial workshops, weaving bureaus in Jiangning, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places and other industries dedicated to the imperial use. If

If you manage it properly, you can still make a lot of profits.

However, with so many royal properties, there is not much profit to hand over, and even the expenses of the inner court cannot be covered!

And Zhu Youjian is now a long-lived man who "knows best about confiscating houses". More and more properties are confiscated and confiscated. If they are all handed over to the prodigal Royal Horse Supervisor, wouldn't his hard work be in vain?

Hearing that Zhu Youjian only asked himself to take care of the increase and not touch the stock of Yumajian, Widow Xu finally nodded... Although she didn't touch the stock, she still caused hatred, and she still had to "serve the country"

Her identity as "Madam" can be covered up, so she is really the most suitable candidate to take over!

"Long Live Lord," Widow Xu nodded and gritted her teeth, "Since you have robbed me of my slave, I can't help myself... Naturally I have to work hard for Lord Long Live. It's just a slave, and Bai Bai

The family has nothing to do with it! You have to leave the Bai family first, and then you can become Long Live Lord's Fengguo wife!"

"Okay", Zhu Youjian nodded, smiled and asked: "You alone can manage so many industries?"

Widow Xu shook her head and said to Zhu Youjian: "I will recruit people...but who will I use and how much will I pay them? Please don't interfere.
