I'm playing tricks in Daqin

After Zhu Xufeng's introduction, the rest of the sons and elder brothers snatched the fragrance one by one and tested it one by one. As he said, the taste is different.

"Isn't this glass? Why is there a lotus flower in it?"

Following the surprised voice, everyone cast their eyes on the glass flower ball. Under the sunlight, the glass flower ball became dazzling and radiant. It is more gorgeous and beautiful, they have never seen such a style.

"Look, everyone, this thing can be seen so clearly!"

Seeing these princes and nobles picking up the treasures in the box, Zhu Xufeng was amazed. Even the prince who was disdainful before was shocked by the treasures in front of him.

Zhu Xufeng took a silver mirror and looked at it carefully. He had never seen such a thing before.

"My lord, this is the legendary glass mirror. The silver mirror can see everything clearly, which is much more convenient than the bronze mirror we used."

While listening to Zhu Xufeng's introduction, the prince couldn't help nodding, "Okay, it's really a good thing. I didn't expect that Daqin would have such a treasure."

Although the rest of the nobles were unwilling to admit it on the surface, after all, they had already been betrayed by the behavior they loved just now. These were the sky-high priced treasures that Li Wei took out from his own palace, and many of them were the spoils of destroying other countries. Can't find any flaws either.

Seeing this, Zhu Xufeng smiled knowingly: "There are still many treasures, but these treasures are rare in the world, and it took me a lot of effort to collect them."

"We want all these babies."

The prince raised his legs, "Let's say a price."

"The price of each treasure is different. For example, this silver mirror costs 50 taels of gold, and this scented dew costs 30 taels of gold for a bottle. The glass ball is 20 taels. The rest of the small items are cheaper. It takes a few taels."

"What? These little things are so expensive? Are you taking us like fools and killing us at will?"

"You princes, you are wronged. I dare to assure you of these treasures. There is only one of them in the world. You will never find the same thing. Besides, the price is not expensive anymore. I spent a lot of money to search for it."

Chapter 617 Remember Your Identity

The prince shook his head after hearing this, "Your silver mirror is only made of silver, how can it be worth 50 taels of gold, I see you are asking for a lot of money."

"My lord, you have wronged me. Although this silver mirror looks worthless, it is a real silverware. Besides, every process has been carefully polished by hundreds of craftsmen. Four, except for the emperors of other countries, this is the only one passed down among the people."

"Besides, the high price of these treasures can better reveal the identities of the princes, because they are rare, and only those with noble and prominent status are worthy of holding them. If you compare these treasures with ordinary objects, it will lose its meaning."

Having said that, these nobles nodded their heads to express their approval. The rarer something is, the more it can reflect their strength and status.

"In the future, I plan to launch private customization services and limited sales services. In other words, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy some treasures. In this way, those merchants who do not have power will be excluded."

"Also, it will be customized according to everyone's identity. At that time, people only need to see these objects to know who the owner of the object is. This is also a status symbol."

"Only top-notch treasures are worthy of the most noble people. Just like today, I found these treasures for the princes and princes. It was a painstaking effort. Do you still think this is expensive?"

"It's not expensive, we want it all."

After Zhu Xufeng finished speaking, he happened to speak on the hearts of these princes and nobles. I saw that these people were very happy, and they were ready to buy.

After seeing off the princes and nobles, Zhu Xufeng fiddled with the abacus for a long time before he clapped his hands in satisfaction, and immediately a servant in Tsing Yi came over.

"The dignitaries of Dachu will send their money here today and tomorrow. Remember, just like before, immediately go to the market to exchange for copper coins, and quickly transport them back to Chang'an."

"Master, transporting the heavy copper coins back to Chang'an is not worth the loss. Before..."

"Shut up! If you really want to be a businessman, I will warn you, we are not merchants, we are ministers who expand the territory for His Majesty. The smashers in Chang'an City are making trouble. Your Majesty will find it very difficult. We will pay for everything. I also want to help His Majesty."

The servant immediately knelt down to plead guilty. He knew that Zhu Xufeng was always surrounded by hidden guards, which really annoyed him. With just one look, his head was about to be moved.

"Calculate the time, the first batch of copper coins should arrive, right?"

"If you go back to the master, it will be tomorrow at the earliest."

Looking in the direction of Chang'an, Zhu Xufeng sighed and said, "Tomorrow? I hope there will be time."

Pudu Temple is not the largest temple in Chang'an City, but because of its proximity to the river and the monks in the temple are good at management, it has turned it into a bustling business district.

But today, none of the small vendors on the street dared to peddle, all of them were nervous, wanting to run but reluctant to part with the bustle in front of them.

Thousands of eminent monks sat cross-legged in front of the Pudu Temple, chanting scriptures in a low voice, and there were five or six thousand monks guarding them outside, and outside, there were Buddhist dignitaries in the city.

The reason why there was such a big battle was because of news that the current emperor was going to destroy the Buddha, and the gathering of the Buddhist sects today was also to demonstrate to Li Wei.

Under the background of the implementation of military control in Chang'an City, the existence of Buddhism has become the biggest weapon of the opposition forces against Li Wei.

Since it was introduced to China, Buddhism has become more and more prosperous, and temples have spread all over the country. The news of Li Wei's extermination of Buddhism naturally caused an uproar. Today is the demonstration of Buddhism. , Civil uprisings could break out at any moment.

Large-scale gatherings were prohibited in Chang'an City under military control, and the Buddhist sect blatantly violated the prohibition, which naturally attracted thousands of officers and soldiers.

The arrival of the officers and soldiers did not stop Fomen's actions, but intensified the conflict. After sniffing hard twice, Zhuang Zhiming seemed to be able to smell the blood in the air.

"There is nothing worse than Li Wei, who wants to hit everyone with one punch. This time it's safe, let Li Chang come forward."

"Father, it seems wrong to let Li Chang get involved..."

Waving interrupted Lin Qianru's persuasion, Zhuang Zhiming sneered and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's better than using our own bodies to block Li Wei's blade, let's go."

Originally, she only wanted to force Li Wei to back down and give up the financial reform. Lin Qianru never imagined that she would make a fuss and usurp the throne.

The wind was surging outside Pudu Temple, and the inside of Chang'an Yonghengtai bank was even more turbulent. Looking at Li Wei who was sitting on the main seat, He Jianming, the boss of Yonghengtai, coughed lightly and gave the shopkeeper a fierce wink.

In front of the emperor, the shopkeeper didn't dare to speak, he simply pretended not to see it, and lowered his head to study the floor tiles under his feet.

"He Jianming, what needs to be said has already been explained clearly enough. I don't want to talk nonsense. I agree with Royal Bank's shareholding. Let me give you a happy word."

"Your Majesty, do you really want to overwhelm others?"

"I am the Son of Heaven, how can I do rogue things, I am clearly helping you."

As soon as the words fell, Wei Yongjie next to him echoed: "Yonghengtai's deposits are insufficient, and there has been no income in recent days. The Royal Bank's shareholding is to help you. Why does it seem to be harming you? Besides, you are willing to let Yonghengtai live forever. Do you want to be the second bank in Chang'an City?"

When the emperor reappeared, He Jianming didn't dare to say a word even if he had a thousand words in his heart. Fortunately, when he was extremely entangled, the guards outside the door announced that Zhuang Yunxiao had come.

Li Wei had never been afraid of Zhuang Yunxiao, so he was brought in directly.

Glancing at the room, Zhuang Yunxiao said with a sneer, "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, why do you love the lowly business of business so much? Isn't it self-deprecating?"

"You are also a businessman, why do you look down on businessmen so much?"

Opening up the folding fan, he slapped it coquettishly a few times, Zhuang Yunxiao said disdainfully: "Your Majesty be careful, I am a Jinshi and a scholar."

Zhuang Yunxiao really wasn't bragging this time, he was indeed a Jinshi, but he was a Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty who had already perished. In order to please He Shengchang, the Tang Dynasty directly bestowed him with the background of a Jinshi.

The same Jinshi obtained in this way, let alone the literati of the Qin State, even the scholars of the Tang State looked down upon them back then, but among merchants who did not even have the qualifications to participate in the imperial examination, it was a remarkable achievement.

Over the years, Zhuang Yunxiao has often been proud of this, and some scholars who are looking for benefits to accompany him are arty and highly sought after. Even some so-called scholars have praised his literary talent, which makes Zhuang Yunxiao completely drifting away, and looks down on him even more. merchant.

"You think that doing business is a cheap business, and knowing a merchant is a pariah, but I don't think so. A country without agriculture is unstable, and without merchants, it is not rich. If there are no merchants, where will the goods be sold from the south to the north, and the goods from the north will be transported to the south? You are dressed in rich clothes and fine food?"

"well said!"

A shareholder of Yonghengtai couldn't help praising him, but when he thought that Zhuang Yunxiao was here, he hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to be an ostrich.

"I'm not going to argue with you. I just want to ask you a question. Regardless of whether He Jianming agrees or not, Royal Bank must invest in Yonghengtai?"

"I don't need to say much about the purpose of my visit today, but I won't force He Jianming to agree."

With a cold snort, Zhuang Yunxiao said with a look of disdain: "Hehe, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, don't you even dare to speak the truth?"

"What I said is the truth. He Jianming, I agree with you or not. I will wait for your reply."

Looking at the smiling Li Wei, and at the murderous Zhuang Yunxiao, He Jianming wanted to say something but dared not.

Yonghengtai's so-called Chang'an No. [-] bank name was basically planted by Heshengchang and several other big banks, and it was nothing more than finding someone to take advantage of the bleeding.

He Jianming doesn’t have enough background but has such a big name. He Jianming can’t even remember how many times he has been blackmailed by the rich and powerful over the years. Now that the battle between the Qianzhuang Alliance and Li Wei has reached the final stage, he has become the focus again, and he is so good Bullying?The more he thought about it, the more angry He Jianming said simply: "This matter is very important, I have to think about it."

With a "bang", Zhuang Yunxiao slapped the table heavily with his palm, "Things are so clear, what do you still think about? What are you thinking about? He Jianming, you have to do your duty, you shouldn't have thoughts that you shouldn't have, you can't have them."

"Do you threaten me?"

Casting a glance at Li Wei, Zhuang Yunxiao said with a smile: "He Shengchang and Yong Hengtai are colleagues, and they should watch over and help each other. Don't worry, with me, He Shengchang, no one can threaten you."

"He Jianming, you don't have to worry. As long as Yonghengtai abides by the law, the imperial court will only protect you, and I will also protect you. They will do things for the royal family, and no one will dare to make things difficult for you."

He Jianming's eyes lit up when he heard Li Wei's words. It is the dream of businessmen all over the world to become an imperial merchant. If it can be achieved, then Yonghengtai... must be over.

If He Jianming could have worked for Li Wei in the past, He Jianming would have dreamed of it, but now the Qianzhuang Alliance and the dignitaries behind it have already torn face with Li Wei, and if he dared to take refuge, he would be a betrayal, and he would never end well, let alone Li Wei already had one. Royal Bank, what position is Yonghengtai going to? "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En. It's just that Yonghengtai has no blessings and cannot serve His Majesty. The matter of becoming a shareholder has a lot to do with it. It involves all the shareholders of the trumpet, and the villain dare not agree."

After finally getting the result he wanted, Zhuang Yunxiao laughed unscrupulously. This time, it was completely the gold and silver emperor's victory over the secular emperor. No matter when, he had to rely on the silver in his hand to speak.

"I have something to say first, and it is your freedom to agree or disagree. In this case, I will leave."

"The Ninth Five-Year Lord personally went to the merchant's door, but was slapped in the face by the merchant, haha, what an anecdote in the world.

Your Majesty won't take revenge in the future? "

Hearing Zhuang Yunxiao's words, Wei Yongjie immediately scolded, "You bastard, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he has the constitution of heaven in his mouth, how can he go back on what he says?"

"It's not that I don't believe in His Majesty, it's just that this matter has too much to do with it. One thought of His Majesty can destroy He Jianming's family. We have to guard against it. Why don't you clap your hands as an oath?"

Glancing at He Jianming's frightened face, Li Wei nodded and slapped Zhuang Yunxiao.

But he didn't expect that this was all Zhuang Yunxiao's plan, without the fear and fear of ordinary people touching the dragon's body, Zhuang Yunxiao took out his handkerchief and wiped his palm vigorously with a look of disgust.

Chapter 618 God's Assist

Under the eyes of everyone, dared to humiliate the emperor so much, the guards pressed their hands on the handle of the knife one after another, but Li Wei stopped him with his eyes, and slammed the right hand that Yu Zhuang Yunxiao had touched on Wei Yongjie's body a few times.

Wei Yongjie understood Li Wei's meaning, and he looked puzzled: "Your Majesty, this is a new dress made by Weichen, and it cost six silver dollars. If you do this, I can't take my clothes anymore."

While complaining, Wei Yongjie took off his coat with a disgusted face and threw it directly on the ground.

"It's really my fault. Let someone give you ten silver dollars and make a new one."

"Hey, originally Weichen liked the cloud pattern very much, so I did it on purpose, but now, Weichen feels sick when he sees the cloud pattern."

At first he wanted to humiliate Li Wei, but he didn't expect that Zhuang Yunxiao's complexion immediately became extremely dark when he was sung by the monarch and his ministers and opposed the general.

When Li Wei led his people away, He Jianming asked tentatively: "Master Zhuang, I really don't have enough money in Yongheng Taicun, I don't know..."

"It's difficult for you, who is not? He Jianming, I warn you, if you dare to have unreasonable thoughts, you will regret your life, and everyone, remember clearly, this day hasn't changed, don't be so eager to change your family. , Be careful of your own family, your life is in danger.”

Looking at Zhuang Yunxiao who left, He Jianming's eyes shone with resentment. All the dignified kings of a country treated him with courtesy, without any embarrassment, but Zhuang Yunxiao, a son of a merchant, was so arrogant to him. He didn't save any face for himself.

"He Shengchang, if there is a chance in the future, I, He Jianming, will take revenge!"

Zhuang Zhiming sent Zhuang Yunxiao here with the intention of stabilizing people's hearts and maintaining the internal unity of the Qianzhuang Alliance, but he did not expect Zhuang Yunxiao to directly help Li Wei with a divine assist, which made Zhuang Yunxiao feel resentful, and the news spread, which would inevitably drive more Qianzhuang away from Germany .

Walking out of the gate, Wei Yongjie couldn't help persuading: "Your Majesty, these bank proprietors are in inextricable collusion with the dignitaries in the court. If they can't be bought, they should not..."

"I didn't expect to be successful today. It's just a show to let the banks know my attitude. I want to integrate the bank industry and completely eliminate the bank. Let's go. I heard that Pudu Temple is very lively today. Let's go have a look."

It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Wei Yongjie didn't feel the terror of monarchy when he was beside Li Wei, but he couldn't figure out Li Wei's thoughts. It was really a waste of reading books for more than ten years.

At Pudu Temple, as soon as Li Changgang appeared, he regarded himself as a Buddhist guard, talked about the various benefits of Buddhism, and received bursts of applause.

Li Changke, who has been a dandy since he was a child, has never enjoyed the treatment of the stars and the moon, and the whole person is floating. Many dignitaries in the court have vaguely expressed their support for him, and various banks will become his pocketbook.

If you gain the support of Buddhism today, you will be able to control the public opinion. If you become the new emperor, don't blame your little nephew.

Just when Li Chang was intoxicated, the cheers stopped abruptly, which made the prince who fell directly from the cloud very dissatisfied.

"Why... Li Wei is here? Damn it, why is Li Wei here!"

Looking at Li Chang who was running towards her in a hurry, Lin Qianru couldn't help showing a strong disdain on her face.

"How can such a waste be entrusted with great things?"

Zhuang Zhiming laughed and said, "It's because he's a good-for-nothing that the dignitaries in the court will take a fancy to him. If there is another master who works hard to govern, there will be another disturbance."

"Old proprietor Zhuang, the emperor is here, what should I do?"

"What are you afraid of? Li Wei is the emperor, but he is also your nephew. Now that he has the help of Buddhism, what are you afraid of him doing? Remember your current status, but the guardian of Buddhism."

It seems to be "Buddhist Guardian"

It brought spiritual strength to Li Chang, and his spirit was different. He rubbed his cheeks a few times to cheer himself up.

In order to appease him, Lin Qianru went over to help him straighten his clothes, but Li Chang took the opportunity to grab his hands.

"Kang Wang, you...please respect yourself."

"Grandpa is going to fight Li Wei desperately!"

Li Chang gritted his teeth and said.

For a licentious person like him, the only thing that can strengthen his courage is drinking. Drinking is not suitable, so he can only find some comfort in Lin Qianru.

"Haha, a man doesn't stick to trifles. His Royal Highness King Kang is really a great hero. When His Highness becomes famous, Lin Qianru may take the initiative to throw herself into her arms."

The beautiful fantasy brightened Li Chang's eyes, he squeezed Lin Qianru's palm vigorously, and walked towards Li Wei aggressively.

"Father, Li Chang, he..."
