Domineering Daming

Because of Hong Chengchou's "bad deeds" in killing prisoners, the Ministry of War was worried that others would follow suit. The Ministry of War strictly ordered the captured leaders to be escorted to Beijing immediately, and they were not allowed to kill without authorization.

The young man looked at it for a while, until the prison car was gone, then he turned to the two girls opposite and said proudly: "Second Miss, Eldest Miss, do you know that the word 'Hui' can't be used casually? This restaurant belongs to our family." You guys, just order whatever you want, and I'll let their chef cook it!"

Zhu Xu's expression was slightly different, and he turned his head to look at the young man. When it comes to the word "Hui", there is no taboo for him, but the folks are different, almost tacitly avoid this word, and rarely use it publicly.

Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao also looked at this young man, and they dared not shy away from using this word in the capital, obviously they had some background.

Cao Huachun quietly winked at an inner prisoner behind him, and the inner prisoner turned and went out.

Opposite the boy sat two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, one in pink and the other in green. The girl in pink had a pretty face, her big eyes shone like waves, and she exuded a rare charm at such a young age.The green-clothed girl seemed quite quiet, always calm, occasionally smiling, and rarely speaking.

Listening to the young man's words, the little girl in pink blinked her big eyes, she became more and more charming, and there was a trace of seductiveness quietly, she opened her small mouth, and said in surprise: "Really?"

"Of course!" The young man raised his neck, looked around, swept Zhu Xu's table, and said, "Second Miss, I'll clear the place for you right now. From now on, I will reserve the second floor for you!"

As he said that, he stood up, walked straight to Zhu Xu, sat on the opposite side of Zhu Xu, took out a large ingot of silver in his hand, and said loudly: "Brother, I made it here today, this is ten taels of silver. Please change the place!"

The girl in green not far away frowned slightly, and glared at the girl in pink.The girl in pink stuck out her tongue and looked at Zhu Xu with interest, waiting for his reaction.

Zhu Xu didn't expect to lie on the gun by accident. He glanced at the little girl not far away. With the idea of ​​being an adult and earning money, Zhu Xu smiled and said: "Ten taels is too little, 20 taels."

The young man was taken aback, he could still bargain for this kind of thing, his ten taels of silver is already quite a lot, okay?

But thinking of the second young lady behind him, he gritted his teeth and drew his left hand into his arms, and immediately paused, with a stiff look on his face.

He only had fifty taels of silver left in his arms.

Chapter 432

The boy froze there, no matter how he reacted.

You definitely can't take out five taels of silver to bargain with the person in front of you, that would be too embarrassing!But if you can't get it out, it will be even more embarrassing!

He still has a 100 tael silver note in his arms now, which was issued by the bank in Jiangsu, but people in the capital only recognize Huitong Commercial Bank, and he would be ashamed if he took it out!

The boy's eyes flickered for a while, his left hand was still in his bosom, his head was stretched out towards Zhu Xu, and he said in a low voice: "Brother, you go first, go downstairs, and ask the shopkeeper to give you 30 taels! Just say I said it!"

Zhu Xu couldn't help laughing in his heart, this one is really interesting, after thinking about it, just about to show him face, Xiaoer came up quickly with a plate, and said in a long voice: "Guest officer, your food and drink are here!"

Saying that, Xiao Er didn't care about anything else, quickly put the plate on the table, looked strangely at the bully boy half body on the table, then turned around and left.

Zhu Xu glanced at the food and wine on the table, feeling suddenly hungry, but still wanted to tease the young man, and said with a smile: "These dishes cost two taels of silver, you have to give me 35 taels."

"Pfft!"

Not far away, the girl in pink covered her mouth and laughed.

The girl in green also suppressed a smile and looked at Zhu Xu curiously.Ten taels went to 35 taels in a blink of an eye. Either he knew how to do business, or he did it on purpose.

The young man was also completely irritated by Zhu Xu's words "25 taels", he snapped out the 100 taels silver note in his arms, and shouted angrily in a low voice, "I'll give you 100 taels, get out of here immediately!"

Behind Zhu Xu, Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao's expressions darkened. Daming, who can make the emperor go away!

Zhu Xu's eyes were a little cold, and he slowly took out a bank note from his pocket, slapped it on the table, and said, "This is 1000 taels. I'll buy your store, so you can get out."

The young man immediately sneered and said, "Brother, you still lived a few years ago, right? According to the regulations of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the largest bank note in the whole Daming bank can only be 100 taels. You 1000 taels are a fool... ..."

The two girls not far away also looked at Zhu Xu with wide eyes, both of them showed doubts. In their eyes, Zhu Xu, who was full of dignity and accompanied by servants, did not look like a liar.

Zhu Xu pushed the bank note over, smiled lightly, and said: "When Huitong Commercial Bank conducts large-value transactions, it is allowed to issue 1000 taels of bank notes, but it is very rare, and only big merchants have them. If you don't know them, ask From the perspective of people I know, your restaurant is worth 500 taels at most, so you can ask someone to get the cash, I won’t accept bank notes.”

Hearing Zhu Xu's words, the young man was startled. He picked up the banknote and looked down. The gold stamping, imprint, virtual image, the young man tried all the methods he could verify, but he couldn't find any false flaws.

"Really?" The young man whispered hesitantly.Anyone who can take out 1000 taels casually is not something he can crush at will.

Zhu Xu nodded.

The young man resented, thinking of the charming second lady behind him, his eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, my eldest brother is Mr. Fu, can you show some face today?"

Zhu Xu was taken aback, Fu Tao was the only one who could be called "Master Fu" in the capital.He knows Fu Tao's family background best, except for his cousin, he has never had any other younger brothers.

At this time, the eunuch who had gone out before came back and whispered something in Cao Huachun's ear.

Cao Huachun waved his hand, then walked up to Zhu Xu, and whispered in his ear: "It's the branch of the Fu family in Yingtian Mansion, running errands for the eldest son."

Zhu Xu suddenly realized that it would take several generations to trace the relationship.

He looked at the young man in front of him, who could be regarded as his distant cousin, and said with a smile: "Then you ask Mr. Fu to come, as long as he comes, the 1000 taels will be yours."

The young man also saw that the person in front of him was indeed something he couldn't deal with, it was too embarrassing to go back in such a despondent way, his face was struggling, and he was still thinking of a way.

Zhu Xu didn't give him a chance to struggle, and said: "If you don't scream, I will."

The young man was worried, and he got excited when he heard it, and said loudly: "Call me, if you can call me, I will give you the 50 taels!"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, footsteps sounded on the stairs. Fu Tao, dressed in white, walked towards Zhu Xu's table after looking around.

The eldest stared at the young man, stood up and looked at Fu Tao, then at Zhu Xu, until Fu Tao approached, and then said in anticipation of Ai Ai: "Brother..."

Fu Tao was also wondering why Fu Zhengzhi and Zhu Xu were together. Enduring doubts, he raised his hand and said to Zhu Xu, "Little prince."

This is the address that was negotiated before, Zhu Xu waved and said with a smile: "Master Fu, let's sit together."

Hearing the obvious teasing in Zhu Xu's words, Fu Tao smiled awkwardly and sat down on Zhu Xu's left.

The young Fu Zhengzhi didn't leave or stand, and even his elder brother Fu Tao respected the "little prince", he must never offend.

Knowing that Zhu Xu asked him to discuss matters, Fu Tao waved his hand at Fu Zhengzhi and said, "Go ahead, don't use my banner to cause trouble."

As if being pardoned, Fu Zhengzhi first raised his hand to Fu Tao, and then accompanied Zhu Xu with a big smile, then turned around and walked downstairs quickly, he could no longer care about the second lady.

The two girls not far away were also quite surprised by Zhu Xu's sudden reveal of his identity. Fortunately, there are as many princes in the capital as dogs, and it's not unusual for the young princes to go everywhere. Seeing Fu Zhengzhi, the two stopped entanglement. Followed downstairs.

Zhu Xu picked up the chopsticks and said, "Let's talk while eating."

Fu Tao also held the chopsticks, but did not move, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, there are 32 banks in the country now, and our Huitong Commercial Bank is the largest. Basically, each of them has shares and can completely control the whereabouts of the money. , if the court needs money, give me some time, 2000 million, I can raise it within a month."

Zhu Xu ate the sauced duck and didn't answer Fu Tao's words.

Seeing that Zhu Xu didn't speak, Fu Tao said slowly: "Your Majesty, the banknotes issued by Huitong Commercial Bank now range from five coins, ten coins, fifty coins, to five coins, one tael, ten taels, and the biggest is 100 taels."

This Zhu Xu had read the report a long time ago, took a sip of soup, and nodded.

Fu Tao continued: "I have estimated that the profits of major commercial banks this year will exceed 3000 million taels of silver, but the purchase of grain and acres will cost more than 1000 million taels."

Zhu Xu took a bite of the duck meat, licked his lips, and remained silent in thought.

With the continuous advancement of his reforms, Ming's business has been further liberated, the Jiangnan government and business groups have been weakened, and countless businessmen, large and small, have risen. Simply put, Ming's middle class is expanding.The size of the middle class also determines the degree of commercial development of a country.
