1 taels, all the income of the Han family, including the black money received by several officials, can add up to this amount at most.

Now, as long as you pay half of the family's income source, you can get 1 taels of silver. Patriarch Han admitted that he was really tempted.

Although he was tempted, he didn't make a decision right away.

He was still a little worried that after the royal family had finished confiscating the land, they would not pay money after one or two years of silver.

Zhu Zhangui also understood everyone's concerns.

Most people are not determined to bet on this kind of risky investment.

It's not that they don't have that idea, but they are worried that after they are overwhelmed, the Ming Dynasty's foreign colonization plan will fail. Not only will they not be able to get money, but they will not even be able to return their land.

"Everyone...I can understand your worries. It is nothing more than worrying about the failure of the foreign colonization plan. The imperial army will return to the mainland. You will not get dividends, and you are afraid that the imperial court will not return the land to you by then."

Many people nodded secretly when they heard the words.

They are moved, but they also have concerns about this.

"Don't worry, the royal court can sign a contract with you, and all of this will be stated in the content. The most important thing is that if the Ming colonization plan fails in a hundred years, we will return all your land and distribute it to you." We don't want any of your money!"

Zhu Zhangui unfolded a blank contract and pointed to the location of Dayin.

"Here is the jade seal of the emperor, and the seals of the crown prince, me and the chamber of commerce, and the six departments will also affix their seals later."

Hand over the blank contract in his hand to Yang Shiqi and let him show it to everyone, Zhu Zhangui said to everyone.

"With so many guarantees, if you still don't believe me, then I can only let others earn the money, or I can earn it myself."

"At that time, I will earn a lot of money, and I will be surrounded by beauties of different races. It will be too late for you to regret it at that time."

The irresistible temptation and various guarantees from the imperial court finally made some people unable to bear it anymore.

The first one to pop out was still the family surnamed Han.

"Your Highness, Cao Min has decided that he is willing to exchange the family's land for shares!"

As soon as Patriarch Han finished speaking, several officials who wanted to please Zhu Zhangui stepped forward.

"Your Highness, there is a shipyard under the name of the Chen family. There are a batch of high-quality ship wood, hundreds of shipwrights, and some high-quality fertile land. I am willing to exchange some shares!"

"Your Highness, subject..."

More and more people stood up, and of course, more people chose to go back and think about it.

This is a decision related to the future destiny of the family, and it cannot be decided by one or two people.

Those who agreed on the spot.

Either he has the absolute right to speak in the family, or he just wants to take the opportunity to show off to please Zhu Zhangui, so that he can get more shares when distributing.

"Okay, okay, everyone, don't worry, if you are willing to exchange shares, you can register with Commander Ji Gang of Jinyiwei first, and the imperial court will send someone to check whether your property is authentic."

"If the confirmation is correct, the chamber of commerce will send someone to contact you, and then the contract will be signed and the land and objects will be handed over."

"In order to ensure the legitimacy of the contract, there will be six people from the six departments as witnesses at each signing meeting. If not, you can refuse to sign the contract, or you can even go to Donggong directly, and I will make the decision for you!"

Successfully won a batch, Zhu Zhangui was not to mention how happy he was.

On the surface, these people joined the Sun Never Set Chamber of Commerce to get more benefits, but in fact, a more subtle meaning means joining Zhu Zhangui's forces.

If they want the colonial plan to continue, Zhu Zhangui, the leader, can't have any accidents. They must inherit the throne steadily, so that they can rest assured.

A court meeting ended in an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation.

Although the Dachaohui is over, the Chamber of Commerce on which the sun never sets and the Six Departments will be busy.

Various signing issues, as well as the transfer of troops, cannot be completed in a day or two.

In Shang's study.

Zhu Zhangui, who had been talking all morning, drank a few sips of herbal tea, opened his collar and slapped it, and said to his father who was still thinking about the plan: "Father, I have arranged the general plan, little one." You can think about the problems yourself, and you can write to me for big problems."

"How long can you stay here?"

Zhu Pangpang also knew that his son was worried about the situation in Ah Sanguo, so he hurried back.

"It will only be about ten days. When the first batch of troops is assembled, I may go with them."

"In terms of shares, you should think about it slowly. You can't make a mistake. If you make a mistake, it can be tens of thousands of taels of silver."

Zhu Pangpang rolled his eyes angrily.

"Don't worry, your father and I have been the prince for so many years, and I have handled more government affairs than you, and it is also related to the future rise and fall of Ming Dynasty. Keep an eye on this."

"Hehe, that's fine, I'm relieved with your words. You are busy, I'll go back to wash up, change my clothes, and go to the artisan camp later to see how the new batch of weapons are doing. Already!"

After explaining to his father to pay more attention to the follow-up of the plan that the sun never sets, Zhu Zhangui, who was a little too hot, left the Shang study and went to his bedroom.

Just when Zhu Zhangui was approaching the door of his bedroom, a female official appeared in front of him.

"See His Royal Highness Taisun!"

"It's Ms. Hu Shangyi. It's been a long time since I've seen you. How's it going?"

Zhu Zhangui, who was thinking about something, saw the person coming clearly, and greeted him with a smile.

With a standard palace smile on Hu Shangyi's face, she answered in a calm voice.

"Thanks to His Highness, everything is fine recently!"

Hu Shangyi seemed to have something to say to Zhu Zhangui, and waved to the maids who followed behind him, and the maids retreated to the distance consciously.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Zhangui was a little puzzled.

What can Hu Shangyi do with her?

My old lady is the leader who manages the six palace women's rolls, logically, I should go to my old lady if I have something to do.

"I do have something to ask Your Highness!"

Zhu Zhangui slowly restrained the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Hu Shangyi, you have also served the emperor in the palace for so many years, and you should understand the rules."

Hu Shangyi bowed slightly.

"Your Highness has misunderstood, the minister is not looking for you because of the matter of the harem, but the matter of Hu Cairen!"

Zhu Zhangui was a little puzzled.

What can Hu Shanxiang do?

If you really have something to do, you should tell yourself, why did you go to find her aunt?

Noticing Zhu Zhangui's doubts, Hu Shangyi said softly.

"This girl was raised by me. Although she calls me aunt, I treat her like my own daughter."

"His Highness wasn't there a while ago, she was bored and stayed with the minister for a few days, she should have told His Highness about this!"

Zhu Zhangui nodded, Hu Shanxiang told him about this.

Hu Shangyi knelt down, looked down at Zhu Zhangui's toes, and prayed.

"Your Highness, I beg you here to give this girl a child."

Zhu Zhangui frowned.

For the royal family, the topic of children is very sensitive.

What does a talented person who is not even a concubine want to have a child!Feeling that my status is low now, do you want to jump a level higher than mother and child!

Hu Shanxiang has been by his side for several years. Although he sometimes plays tricks, Zhu Zhangui doesn't think the other party will be so stupid.

"She made you say that?"

Zhu Zhangui's voice was a little cold.

Hu Shangyi shook his head.

"This is the minister's own decision, that girl doesn't know."

Zhu Zhangui's expression relaxed a little.

"Can you tell me why?"

Hu Shangyi was silent for a while, and said two words in a low voice that Zhu Zhangui could hear.

"Buried!"

Zhu Zhangui didn't speak, just looked at Hu Shangyi coldly.

If Hu Shangyi can't explain clearly, with these two words alone, not only can she not be a female official, she can't even save her life.

Hu Shanxiang is Zhu Zhangui's woman. If Hu Shangyi said these two words, if she didn't explain clearly, she would be suspected of being a curse.

"His Royal Highness is surrounded by countless beauties. Shanxiang's appearance is not dominant. I have seen too many things in the palace. People like her are easily forgotten. Maybe someday she will stay alone in an empty room."

"The royal family has a rule that concubines who have no children will be buried."

"She is the only concern in my life. I don't want her to end up alone and end up like this."

After finishing speaking, Hu Shangyi kowtowed.

"Your Majesty will admit to your offense today, even if you want to kill me. I just hope His Majesty can give this girl a thought so that she won't talk to a dog every day."

Staring at Hu Shangyi kneeling on the ground, Zhu Zhangui was silent for a while.

"Later, I will ask my mother to send someone to beat you 20 times. This is punishment for your offensive words!"

"You don't have to worry about Shanxiang's place. They will all have their own children. They will take good care of their mother and child in the future, and I will let the children take care of you until your death. This is a repayment for your kindness in raising Shanxiang!"

A smile appeared on Hu Shangyi's calm face receiving the punishment.

He kowtowed again to Zhu Zhangui, got up and stepped aside.

Zhu Zhangui glanced at her, and strode down his bedroom.

After entering the gate, Zhu Zhangui glanced at Zhao Linger's yard, hesitated for a moment, turned and walked towards a small courtyard on the right.

Before approaching, Zhu Zhangui heard a dog barking and a woman's voice coming from the courtyard.

"It's true of you. It's not too hot to run around on a hot day. If I knew you were so naughty, I wouldn't have brought you back in the first place. I should have made you a stray dog!"

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"Hmph, you are reasonable. If you are disobedient again, I don't want you anymore, so I will send you away. Let's see who will serve you!"

"Wang Wang Wang..."

Zhu Zhangui smiled when he heard the communication of one person and one dog, stretched out his hand and pushed open the concealed door and walked in.

Entering the courtyard, I saw a woman in green clothes sitting on a chair in the shade under the eaves, bathing a little white dog in front of her.

The little white dog in the water basin was still a little dishonest, and kept shaking the water on his body, which startled the woman to scream and scold.

"Don't move, if you move again, I won't wash it for you!"

"Wow~"

The little white dog ignored the woman, turned his head to Zhu Zhangui who walked in, and growled.

Seeing the little guy yelling at him, Zhu Zhangui glared, and started to scare him out of habit.

"Heh, you little guy, without my father's support, you still have such a temper, be careful that I will eat dog meat hot pot tonight!"

The woman in green who was holding the little white dog down and continuing to bathe it stood up in surprise when she heard the voice behind her.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

Zhu Zhangui looked at the happy Hu Shanxiang with a funny face.

"Can't I come here!"

Hu Shanxiang shook his head quickly.

"No, this servant wants to say this...that..."

Seeing that the girl was so flustered that she didn't know what to say, Zhu Zhangui stepped forward amusedly, and stroked the wet hair on her forehead.

"Look at you covered in water!"

Hu Shanxiang couldn't help but blush at such an intimate move.

Since she was named a talented person, Zhu Zhangui only stayed with her for one night, and then spent most of the time with Concubine Taisun.

Later, the concubine had a child, Zhu Zhangui spent most of the time with the concubine and the little guy except for going to the concubine Ji Yun once in a while.
