Maritime Trade Courtyard!

"The villain greets the eldest prince, the little real person, and you have met the third prince!"

Zuo Lin and Feng Hai stood at the gate. After Zhu Biao and Zhu Zi'an got off the carriage, they hurried forward to greet them.

"Two people are exempted from gifts!"

Zhu Biao nodded slightly and then took the lead in walking.

All the way, we went straight to the three-story office building.

Then, he sat directly on the sofa and asked angrily.

"Zuo Lin, you can find out which wealthy Zhejiang businessmen dare to make trouble for our palace behind their backs?"

"Please forgive me for your crimes. Because the journey is long and the newly established Maritime Trade Court has not been found out that it was those wealthy businessmen who are making trouble behind the scenes!"

Zuo Lin looked ashamed.

"But, please rest assured. After all the investigation is made, we will take our brothers and smash the shops and fleets of wealthy merchants!"

"That's right, I didn't expect that I was immersed in so many years. It seems that the wealthy businessmen in Zhejiang have forgotten all my Ming Iron Cavalry!"

Feng Hai also looked angry.

"no!"

After hearing this, Zhu Biao said quickly and then explained.

"Now, except for the old Yuan people in the north and west, the world is peaceful. Do not use swords and guns indiscriminately if you have nothing to do! Especially you, you must not engage in violence!"

"Your Highness, those rich men have actually bullied you. The Lord is humiliating his ministers to die. Even if we die in battle, we cannot make them so arrogant!"

At this moment, whether it was Zuo Lin or Feng Hai, he had completely exposed his nature and had a ferocious face.

Yu Yuanbi, who was scared behind the people, tightened his body and felt as if he had entered a bandit nest!

"No!"

Zhu Biao was still unmoved, shook his head slowly, and said with a gloomy face: "This matter is a business of a merchant, so it needs to be resolved according to the business matter!"

"Let your Highness give you the order!"

Zuo Lin and Feng Hai hurriedly bowed and replied.

Then, he looked at Zhu Biao with anticipation.

"Um……"

Seeing this, Zhu Biao pondered for a moment.

"After all the merchants involved in this matter are found out, I will take you and let you out of anger!"

"yes!"

Zuo Lin and Feng Hai hurriedly bowed and replied.

"Brother, why don't I take someone to Zhejiang to investigate in person!"

On the side, Zhu Qi turned his eyes and said to Zhu Biao.

"You want to go to Zhejiang?!"

Zhu Biao was stunned and slowly looked at Zhu Qi.

"Brother, a mere businessman dares to stumbling on you, and I can't stand this matter!"

Zhu Qi said quickly.

"I have no problem. As long as my father agrees, you can go!"

Zhu Biaodao.

"Father..."

Zhu Qi murmured in a low voice, then smiled awkwardly.

He dared not talk about this.

After hearing this, Zuo Lin and Feng Hai were eager to try.

"Zuo Lin, how many materials are purchased in the Hai Trade Court now?"

Zhu Zi'an asked.

It happened that the Hai Trade Courtyard was here, and Zhu Zi'an was about to check the number of supplies in the Hai Trade Courtyard again.

"When Xiao Zhenren, there are not yet fifty warehouses in the compound, and there are already 49 warehouses. As for the materials needed for the marine trade fleet, they have been collected. Now, we are just purchasing some niche items immediately."

Zuo Lin replied quickly.

At the same time, he took out two thick books of account books from his office and placed them in front of Zhu Zi'an.

"Well, ceramics, tea, silk, and iron tools are all enough!"

After a while, Zhu Zi'an nodded slowly.

"Second brother, have the goods that the sea trade fleet needs to take away?"

Zhu Biao asked hurriedly.

"Please look at your highness. The main supplies are already in place. As for some scattered supplies, it is no longer important!"

Zhu Zi'an handed the account book in his hand to Zhu Biao and let Zhu Biao watch it.

He always thought Zhu Biao knew about this.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao was not very clear about the material situation of the marine trade officers as he did.

"Brother, I've really collected all the products!"

After reading it, Zhu Biao also looked excited.

As for the price hike behavior of Zhejiang wealthy businessmen, it has become a joke.

However, the power of the prince should not be offended.

Since those rich businessmen dared to offend, Zhu Biao was still ready to teach those rich businessmen a hard lesson when they had time in the future.

Now, the most important thing is to form a fleet and conduct sea trade.

"Zuo Lin, how much is left for that two million taels of silver?"

Zhu Zian nodded slightly and turned back to Zhu Biao, then asked again.

"Go back to Xiao Zhenren, there are still 200,000 taels of silver left!"

Zuo Lin replied immediately.

After hearing this, Zhu Zi'an thought for a moment and said, "In this way, he stopped purchasing those supplies. At the same time, the brothers outside did not have to hurry to come back."

"What does Xiao Zhenren mean?"

Zuo Lin said in a little puzzled.

"Don't the rich businessmen in Zhejiang like to raise prices, so they can have fun with the rich businessmen there."

Zhu Zian smiled slightly and said, "That people who have not yet come back go to the shops that have raised prices every day to inquire about prices. At the same time, they negotiate prices with the shopkeepers. And after the price is negotiated, they ask those people to withdraw directly. As for the reasons for withdrawal, let the brother think about it himself..."

"Yes, the villain understands!"

After hearing this, his left face and Feng Hai couldn't help but lit up and he quickly bowed his hands and replied.

This plan is really amazing.

If it weren't for the estimation of Zhu Zi'an's identity, the crown prince Zhu Biao and the third prince would have picked up Zhu Zi'an with excitement on his face.

"Second brother?"

On the side, Zhu Biao also quickly looked at Zhu Zi'an, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Your Highness, the prince's power is not violated. This time, I only collected some interest from them. After the sea trade became formal, the wealthy businessmen would come and beg us!"

Zhu Zi'an said.

"Thank you, second brother!"

After hearing this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but thank him.

To be honest, if Zhu Zi couldn't stand up for those wealthy businessmen who were struggling, Zhu Biao really didn't know how to disgust those wealthy businessmen.

Yes, in the end there is only one way left.

Illustrate to the officials below.

However, Zhu Biao was also a little worried about letting those officials deal with the wealthy businessmen.

"Your Highness, since these supplies are fully prepared, I wonder how the ships and naval personnel used by the Marine Trade Caravan are doing?"

Zhu Zi'an asked.

This time, it was the first time that Zhu Zi'an was concerned about this matter.

Therefore, after Zhu Biao's expression was stunned, he looked straight and replied slowly.

"Please rest assured that there are currently 100 sea ships and 60 warships! In addition, in another half a month, there will be another twenty sea ships and more than ten warships!"

"As for the navy, as long as the ships are fully equipped, the navy will be drawn from the major navy troops along the coast of Zhejiang, Fujian! In addition, Shen Wansan has sent twenty guides with rich experience at sea..."

"More than 200 ships..."

Zhu Zi'anluo thought about it and looked satisfied.

There are more than 20,000 people in so many ships, even if there are only half of the soldiers and generals, there are more than 10,000 soldiers.

Such a military force, coupled with the excellent military equipment of the Ming Dynasty, is enough to be rampant overseas in addition to those irresistible large-scale natural disasters!

"Your Highness, these are enough!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Zi'an nodded with satisfaction.

"Since that's the case, after farming sweet potatoes and potatoes, we began to formally form a maritime trade fleet, heading south along the Zhejiang coastline, rushing in November, and following the strong winds on the sea, the fleet officially went out to sea to conduct trade!"
