I don't want to be king

Damn!

Jiang Qiu wanted to slap himself in the face!

To grab business from this evil star, it is the birthday star who eats arsenic-he thinks his life is too long!

However, the matter has come to this point, and there is no room for regret.

Following the imperial court's edicts, Ankang City gradually restored its former prosperity.

After all, many people understand that the day has changed, and the one who is arbitrarily arbitrarily ruling the court is the former Prince He and the current Prince Regent.

Every decree issued by the regent is very puzzling, such as the so-called "supplier system".

It is said that in order to resist the Wadans, the regent was going to hand over all the military supplies to the big merchants.

But if you want to qualify as a military supply, you must participate in the auction.

All the wealthy merchants in Ankang City were invited to the Yin Yamen of Ankang Mansion, and they were all trembling, for fear that this was a trick by the imperial court.

The auction was full of voices, all of them spoke in "barbaric" and "barbaric" language. In their confusion, they watched the Sanhe people struggling to raise their cards, and finally, out of nowhere, the auction ended like this.

Almost all the winning bidders were Sanhe people.

Not really, they don't want to participate, at least give the prince and the court some face.

But, they can't afford this face!

Because the amount of almost every auction is as high as one million taels!

They can afford millions of taels, but now that the world is difficult, it seems unnecessary for Bo and the prince to take out millions of taels all at once, so painful, right?

"These northerners are not fools,"

The butcher once again snatched his status as a pork supplier, and he was very happy. "I didn't know the situation when I came to the meeting. It was the imperial court who gave them a million taels of silver, and it was not for them to give the imperial court silver."

"No, they are afraid that the court will not give you money, and they don't inquire about it. Although we and the prince are stingy, we have never defaulted on our debts. It is a spit and a nail."

Pork Rong was originally worried that big merchants would compete with them, but now he realized that his worries were completely unfounded. The people in Ankang City were complacent and could not be regarded as their opponents at all.

Li Sanniang next to her looked around, and then said, "Be careful, not only Sanhe people are bidding this time, but even some big merchants from Hongzhou, Yuezhou, and Wuzhou have raised their placards. But it's bigger."

In previous years, she was basically the only one who owned the officer and soldier ready-made clothing business, but now a Chang family from Jinling City suddenly popped up on the way, taking away part of her share, which made her vigilant.

"Yeah, you fucking can still laugh,"

Liu Duo sighed and said, "My business this year has been messed up by those people from Wulin City. I'm not afraid to support them to death with the purchase of 130 million taels of cloth!"

This time the most unlucky is undoubtedly him!

In any case, he never imagined that the cloth supplier qualification that was only competed within Sanhe in the past would now be bloody due to the joining of some Yong'an businessmen.

Laugh at the butcher, it's not easy to add insult to injury.

After all, for Liu Duo, losing his supplier qualification is a heavy loss.

Han Dongsheng exhaled smoke rings, and said with a smile, "Since ancient times, silk has been produced in the south of the Yangtze River. This is not our Sanhe's strong point. Don't forget, your own cloth is purchased from them. Once they lower the price, you How do you play with them if you are a transfer loser?"

Everyone strolled into a teahouse for a rest. After Liu Duo took a sip of tea, he sighed and said, "I have to go back to Sanhe and build a weaving workshop? But which one is easier, dyeing cloth or kicking cloth?

I won't! "

Li Sanniang smiled and said, "Sanhe neither raises silkworms nor grows cotton. It is useless for you to build in Sanhe. You might as well just move the family business to Jinling City. Weavers and weavers don't care lack."

"Okay, don't give him blind ideas,"

After Liang Qingshu waved his hands at the crowd, he said to Liu Duo, "No one among these people is more familiar with you than you when it comes to cloth. You don't need to listen to what we say, and you have to think about it yourself."

"Indeed,"

Liu Duo said with emotion, "It is the Nanling people who make the most cotton cloth and dye it. Compared with them, the cloth merchants in Jinling City are nothing. These Nanling people don't have a workshop. They are just like Lao Tzu, who do transshipment."

Liang Qingshu nodded and said, "That's good."

"Everything has changed."

Liu Duo sighed.

He is no longer satisfied with being a shopkeeper of a small silk and satin shop in Sanhe. If he doesn't make progress, he is not qualified to sit at a table with people like Liang Qingshu and chat.

Chapter 339 Lost

It's still right with the prince, if you don't advance, you will retreat!

However, when he thinks of being with the prince, he can't help being secretly proud. Although the prince is in a high position now, and the palace is heavily guarded, it's not a place he can enter if he wants to.

However, back then, he was the one who sat with the prince and talked and laughed happily.

If he ascends the throne with the prince in the future, he will be even more bragging!

In the whole world, how many people can be taught by the emperor?

What he regrets the most now is that he didn't keep the calligraphy with the prince!

In the future, the lintel can be glorified and regarded as the treasure of the town house!

calligraphy?

I really seem to have ah!

At the beginning, Sanhe was short of money, and the chief secretary's yamen borrowed money everywhere. Some of them borrowed a lot, and some borrowed less. I also borrowed 5000 taels!

In order to increase its persuasiveness, the chief secretary's yamen repeatedly ensured that each loan had a seal and payment from the prince.

It was also on his loan coupon, and it was written by the prince himself.

He couldn't help but took out the coupons from his cuffs, and as soon as he unfolded them, Zhurourong's brain came close.

Zhu Rourong smiled and said, "So you brought it with you too. Now you and the prince are not short of money. You can cash it when you get it to the Fuyin Yamen in three days. It is said that it is a bank note from Sanhe Bank."

Liu Duo shook his head and said, "I'm not going to exchange it."

The butcher snorted coldly, "Are you stupid, or are you treating me like a fool, so easy to deceive, this is 5000 taels of silver."

Liu Duo smiled and said, "5000 taels can buy the calligraphy of the prince, no matter how you look at it, it's not a loss."

After hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Liang Qingshu took the IOU, couldn't help but glance at the invoice, and sighed, "It's really not a loss."

After all, the value of the prince and prince has also increased!

Once He Wangye ascended the throne, they wanted to get He Wangye's handwritten letter again, it was simply impossible!

Or to put it simply, it is completely impossible!

The real dragon emperor is high above, how could he still deal with merchants like them?

What idiots are talking about!

"So, can you really keep it?"

The butcher still doesn't believe it.

The others laughed and said nothing, and the atmosphere was a little weird for a while.

"Love to talk or not to talk."

The butcher snorted coldly.

Everyone was drinking in the tea room. A group of officers and soldiers came from south to north. Pedestrians gave way to both sides and stopped to watch.

After a while, only the uniform footsteps of officers and soldiers remained in everyone's ears, bang bang bang...

So clean and powerful.

It took a full cup of tea before the officers and soldiers walked past the teahouse.

Zhurourong asked curiously, "Isn't this Sanhebing?"

"Of course not. These are soldiers recruited in Nanzhou. They have only been trained for about half a year."

The butcher said disdainfully, "Although there are quite a few people who transform energy, there are not many who are up to the third rank. If they really fight with the Wadan people, I'm afraid I can't count on them."

Liang Qingshu said with a cold face, "Be careful with your words, you will have to go to Ankang Prefecture to be punished if you confuse the people and shake the morale of the army."

"Mother, there are mistakes to be honest."

Although Jiang Tuhu refuted it, he still accepted Liang Qingshu's words and said no more.

"There are hundreds of thousands of Wadan people, and we don't look good if we have fewer people,"

Zhu Zhurong said in a low voice, "I heard from Duomazi that soldiers from Hongzhou, Jingzhou, and Yuezhou are coming one after another, and it is estimated that they can gather [-] to [-] soldiers by then.

If Yuan Qing and Shen Zhanao are willing to submit to the prince, there will be two 10,000+ people, and we will not be afraid to fight against the Wadan people. "

"Hey, you guys,"

Liang Qingshu said bitterly, "This is a secret, how dare you talk such nonsense!

If someone with a heart listens to it, it will be a disaster! "

Pork Rong sneered.

He actually promised Duo Mazi not to talk nonsense to outsiders.

"Okay, stop talking,"

Li Sanniang hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "The army has arrived here from the south. It seems that we are not responsible for the supply of food and grass?"

At least the ready-made clothes worn by the officers and soldiers who just passed by were not from her workshop.

Han Dongsheng took a sip of tea and said, "Where can we take advantage of the cheapest things in the world?

The military supplies in Hongzhou and Yuezhou are naturally provided by local merchants, otherwise, it will be the year of the monkey when we go there. "

The crowd took it for granted.

If they want to blame, they can only blame themselves for being weak. They didn't open branches in Hongzhou, Yuezhou and other places, so they couldn't do military supplies along the way.

While more and more officers and soldiers poured into Ankang City, more and more merchants and street vendors also entered, and it was very lively for a while.

And the palace was still as deserted as ever.

The ministers who were used to having the emperor in the early court felt a little uncomfortable facing the empty dragon chair.

What they go to court every day is to listen to the edict of the regent, but they can't see the regent himself.

To use Mr. He Jixiang's confusing words, although they can't see the people of He Wang Ye, they are still working hard under the guidance of He Wang Ye.

Lin Yi seldom enters the palace, and if he does, it is only because he likes to stand on the high wall of the palace, drinking tea and blowing the wind.

Summer is sweltering, and only standing at the highest point can feel a little cool breeze.

"The empress's body is lost?"

Lin Yi almost spat out the tea he had just sipped into his mouth.

"Small conviction."

Xiao Xizi was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground.

"How long has it been since the Empress hanged herself, and why hasn't she been buried yet?"

Lin Yi didn't know at all.

He thought the queen had been buried long ago.

Unexpectedly, there would be a joke about the body being stolen now.

"My lord,"

Xiao Xizi smiled wryly and said, "Young one has not been in charge of the palace for a short time. I have been combing through the case files these days. I just read a report from the chief of ceremonies and found that after the queen hanged herself, her body was missing. This villain I just found out.

The saint ordered a secret investigation, but there has been no news. "

"I see,"

Lin Yi understood the meaning, and couldn't help frowning, "At that time, the prince was in the prison of Dali Temple, and he had the ability to arrange for someone to steal the body from the palace. It's better to steal himself out of the prison."

"My lord is wise,"

Xiao Xizi said cautiously, "This is also what the villain thinks, can steal people out of the palace without anyone noticing, how can it be ordinary people?

Moreover, at that time, Elder Wuxiang was still in the palace, so he couldn't hide any disturbances from him. "

Lin Yi said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
