I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

The second floor of Chang'an City Boutique Pavilion is where Wang Hongfu works.

Although there are larger and more luxurious places in the industrial park, Wang Hongfu has always been in this small place.

Boutique Pavilion is still the same as it was ten years ago. This is where Wang Hongfu first made his fortune.

Later it was sold to King Ji, and it was also the place where King Ji made his fortune. Wang Hongfu believed that this place must be a geomantic treasure.

"Big shopkeeper, the Qunding Chamber of Commerce is now recruiting members."

At this moment, in Wang Hongfu's study on the second floor, a young shopkeeper reported to Wang Hongfu.

There was no change on Wang Hongfu's face.

“What are the requirements for joining their membership?”

We haven't encountered any big storms or waves in these years. As long as King Ji is still there and as long as King Ji doesn't fall, then everything is nothing.

"Go back to the big shopkeeper, the conditions for joining the Aspiration Chamber of Commerce are the same as our First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty, and all the benefits are the same as us.

They wrote down the benefits for joining the membership in the lobby, basically following the template of our Datang First Chamber of Commerce.

But they charge half of what we do. "The little shopkeeper replied.

"Haha, don't panic. Over the years, our Prince Ji's Mansion has encountered various kinds of suppression. When has it ever threatened us?

This matter is insignificant to His Highness Prince Ji. "Seeing the little shopkeeper looking a little anxious, Wang Hongfu smiled on his face and gave a very calm encouragement.

"But the big shopkeeper, they wrote a notice that members who join within half a month will not be charged membership fees, but they will still issue a membership license.

And like us, there are people who help write the contract and provide guarantees, but the price is half of ours.

The villain is afraid that they will steal many of our members. "The little shopkeeper was a little worried.

"What are you afraid of? This system is the rules set by our Highness Prince Ji. They are just following the same example.

In the words of the prince, these are all leftovers from our play. His Highness Prince Yuki is here, what are you afraid of?

Go ahead and send someone to keep an eye on their movements and arrange for a few of our own small caravans to go in.

Also send this letter to the newspaper office and ask them to send an urgent message to the prince.

We should not act rashly and wait for the prince's instructions. "Wang Hongfu said as he began to write a letter.

"Yes, the big shopkeeper." The little shopkeeper nodded immediately and accepted the order.

There are many people gathered in the headquarters of Dongshi Aspirational Chamber of Commerce, most of them are merchants from Dongshi.

They also came here to see the preferential policies and benefits of joining the Aspirational Chamber of Commerce.

Prince Ji's Mansion has not taken any action in the past few days. Everyone knows that Prince Ji is not in Chang'an. The Qunding Chamber of Commerce also took advantage of Prince Ji's absence to quickly form a chamber of commerce.

And prepare to collect members quickly. King Ji will definitely not be able to come back in half a month.

"Brother Wang, how many members do you think we can collect in this half month?"

On the second floor of the Qingding Chamber of Commerce, a group of people were standing here. Among them, an elder from the Cui family asked the Wang family next to them.

If Li Shen saw this person, he would definitely recognize him. It was Wang Weiqi who was framed by Li Shen a few years ago and was dismissed by Li Shimin and never hired.

He is the person in charge of establishing the Wang family of the Chamber of Commerce this time.

"It's hard to say about this Wang, but I just reported below that today more than 120 merchants have joined me in my bid to win the Chamber of Commerce."

Wang Wei replied that the Chamber of Commerce was created by Prince Ji's Mansion. Everything they did was imitated by Prince Ji's Mansion, so he didn't know exactly what it could do.

"It seems that there won't be too much in the past few days." Fan Yang Lu's steward said.

Everyone looked at the steward.

"Why is Brother Lu so sure?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Don't you understand? Because King Ji has not taken action yet, many businessmen are waiting and watching. King Ji has a very high status in the hearts of businessmen.

They are full of fear of King Ji. You have all witnessed King Ji's methods over the years. We all have to break our muscles and bones. There is no time when these fish and shrimps have not lost everything.

We have been deceived by King Ji so many times over the years that we have been unable to stand up, let alone them.

Our family has received accurate information. Someone has seen that there is a large amount of gold in His Majesty's internal funds, which is piled up like a mountain.

Your Majesty is not as poor as we thought at all, he is just pretending to be frugal. "The steward of the Lu family said with a cold face. The other stewards of the aristocratic family didn't look very good after hearing this.

"You are saying that there is a lot of gold in His Majesty's treasures. Is it the treasure of the former Sui Yang Emperor?" The elder of the Yuan clan in Henan was a little surprised.

Although the Yuan clan is also a noble clan, they still cannot compare with the five surnames to close these groups, so they rarely participated in big operations in the past.

"We have never heard that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty has any treasures." Du Gou of the Du family said that his father was the prime minister, and he had not heard that his father said that he had inherited any treasures.

"Everyone, have you forgotten the divine bead from a few years ago? At that time, our families were defrauded of their gold, which was worth 30 million gold.

We have been tracing, but there is no news so far. We have also been observing, and there has never been a large amount of gold on the market.

Where do you think such a large amount of gold went? Just disappear if you say disappear in the country? "The manager of the Lu family reminded.

In addition to the aristocratic families, what did the Shandong gentry and the Guanlong Group realize?

"You mean that batch of gold is in His Majesty's internal funds? This... this is simply unbelievable, is it impossible?"

The steward of the Hongnong Yang family opened his mouth wide in surprise, as if he had discovered some big secret.

Others also looked at the people of the fifth surname. This news also shocked them. They did not lose much in the divine bead incident.

Because of the long distance and the presence of five aristocratic families, they had no chance to take advantage. In the end, it was a blessing in disguise.

"How is this impossible?" Wang Weiqi snorted coldly,

"But...but, at first everyone suspected that King Ji did this, but later everyone found out,

Prince Ji may have also been a victim, and it seemed that he was the one who suffered the most losses. Afterwards, although Prince Ji's palace spent a lot of money,

But it was all within the budget, and it didn't cost much at all, so they didn't think it was him.

Could it be that His Majesty did this? "After the Lanling Xiao family steward finished speaking, he quickly covered his mouth with his hands, then looked around, and privately commented that His Majesty was a capital offender and a treasonous person.

The others didn't react at all. The Cui family manager coughed lightly and then said.

"Ahem~ Everyone, according to our analysis, this matter was done by King Ji, in order to retaliate for what we did in the first place.

And here, His Majesty acted in a good show with King Ji. As for why the gold was not in the hands of King Ji, but in the hands of His Majesty,

This is a matter between their father and son, and we don’t have to worry about it.

But one thing is true: His Majesty has a large amount of gold in his treasury. "
