The gods of the gods

However, Wan Sanqian is not a fool if he can make his business the best in the world. He, the richest businessman in the world, is not a fool for the royal family, whose country is in turmoil and the treasury is empty not long after he killed Liu Jin. Like a piece of fat.

The emperor summoned him at this time, if he really wanted to have a knife on him, he would not be able to run away even if he wanted to.Therefore, he naturally needs someone who can support him to leave Ouchi smoothly, and this person must have a close relationship with him.

There are not many people in the world who can support him to leave the Ouchi smoothly, and there is only one person who has a deep friendship with him-the God of Tiedan Hou Zhu ignores it.

It was night, in Hulong Mountain Villa, Zhu Wushi was sitting in the study, and standing in front of him were three handsome figures, they were the three secret agents under Zhu Wushi's seat.Duan Tianya, No. [-] in Tianzi, Guihai Yidao, No. [-] in Dizi, and Shangguan Haitang, No. [-] in Xuanzi.

While the four of them were waiting quietly, there was a slight sound of wind at the door of the study. Zhu Wushi and the others looked up and saw five people just in time.

To say that there are five people, it is better to say that there is one person and four shadows, four identical shadows.The four shadows were all dressed in green clothes, with black face scarves covering their faces.They were two in front and two behind, like the four most loyal satellites, guarding the man in brocade in front of them.

The man in brocade clothes was rich in appearance, gorgeous in clothes, and always had a kind smile on his face. Although he was not majestic, he was like a ball of cotton wool without strength, which made people helpless.This person is definitely a ruthless character.

After seeing the person coming, Zhu Wushi also stood up, smiled and said, "Brother Wan, you are here, please sit down."

"You're being polite." Wan Sanqian also stepped forward and cupped his hands at Zhu Wushi.Then he looked at Duan Tianya and the others, and said with a smile, "These three are supposed to be Shenhou's right-hand men, the three secret agents of Hulong Villa, and they have long admired their names."

"Duan Tianya (Guihai Yidao, Shangguan Haitang) has met Wan Daguan." Duan Tianya and others also clasped their fists together.

As the inner secret agents of Hulong Villa, they naturally know about Wansanqian's support for Hulong Villa. Without Wansanqian's huge financial support, Hulong Villa cannot operate at all. In other words, Wansanqian is for them The person who pays the salary.

"The three spies are polite." Wan Sanqian smiled, then looked at Zhu Wushi, with a rather solemn expression, "Shenhou sent me the news as quickly as possible, saying that the emperor wants to see me. real?"

Zhu Wushi also put away his smile, nodded and said, "This matter is indeed true. The emperor's golden words have asked me to pass on the news and let you enter the palace to face the saint."

Wan Sanqian frowned, and said somewhat troubledly, "Then I don't know how to find out, why did the emperor summon me?"

Zhu Wushi smiled wryly and said, "This matter was brought up by the emperor suddenly, there is no cause and effect, and I don't know what the reason is! But I can be sure of one thing, the emperor should have no malice towards Brother Wan."

"Oh! How did Shenhou know?" Wan Sanqian asked back, "Shenhou should know a little bit about the situation of the treasury in recent years. Although there is still some foundation, Liu Jin and others have endangered the court for many years, and the treasury is now I'm afraid I've fallen into a deficit."

Zhu Wushi smiled and said, "Even so, Brother Wan, there is no need to worry that the Emperor will be unfavorable to you. Brother Wan is the richest businessman in the world. He has made friends all over the world, and his business is also spread all over the world. This is not what the emperor or even the civil and military officials would like to see.

"If Brother Wan is worried, why not let me accompany Brother Wan to the palace to meet the emperor." Zhu Wushi smiled lightly and said, "With me here, the emperor will definitely not touch Brother Wan, but Brother Wan must be careful Mentally prepare."

"Prepare?" Wan Sanqian seemed to understand something, nodded slightly and said, "The country is suffering, the people are poor, and Wan's family has some assets, so he is naturally willing to subsidize the court one or two times to relieve the emperor's worries and the people's hardship."

Zhu Wushi nodded and said, "Brother Wan is a sensible person. I think the emperor recruited Brother Wan to Beijing this time, I'm afraid it's for this reason. Brother Wan gave up some money in exchange for Ankang, but it's a steady profit. Buying and selling. And since the emperor wants to let Brother Wan contribute, he will not treat him badly."

"I hope so!" Wan Sanqian nodded slightly after thinking about it. "Then I will trouble God to accompany me to the palace tomorrow."

"It should." Zhu ignored and nodded.

----------------

On the second day, after the early court, Emperor Zhengde was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, and Eunuch Sun walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Tie Dan is waiting for Wan Sanqian to see you."

"Oh! Uncle Huang is here, are there any more Wansanqian?" Emperor Zhengde raised his head, "Let them in!"

"My minister pays homage to His Majesty." Zhu Wushi bowed and saluted after entering the imperial study.

Wan Sanqian, who was following him, knelt down and bowed to the ground, "Wan Sanqian, a grassroots man, kowtowed to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Get up!" Emperor Zhengde stood up, looked at Wansanqian, and said with a faint smile, "Wansanqian, the richest businessman in the world, I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, but your reputation is still like thunder. !"

Money can't buy health, but it can buy a precious panacea; you can't buy love, but you can buy countless beauties; you can't buy longevity, but you can buy bodyguards with strong martial arts; you can't buy someone else's heartfelt Respect, but you can buy someone's life...

Money is not a panacea, but there is no doubt that money is a good thing.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was not the Jiangnan Huajia, a big family that had been around for a hundred years, that brought the power of "money" to the extreme, but a dark horse that sprung up more than 20 years ago - Wansanqian.

Wansanqian is a mysterious figure who doesn't like to be famous. There are no more than one palm in the world who know the origin of Wansanqian.

However, the big figures in the arena and in the court are very clear that this person, Wan Sanqian, must not be easily provoked.

In this world, money can make ghosts turn millstones, this saying is absolutely true.The Four Ghosts of Xiangxi are famous for being difficult to deal with and ignoring the world, and they can all be invited by Wan Sanqian as bodyguards. One can imagine the importance of money.

And if the whole world asks who is the best at making money, then, people with a little knowledge will give a thumbs up and say: "Thousand thousand."

No one knows how strong and financially Wansanqian has, only that he is very big, so big that even if he is the prime minister of the prince, or even the most brave person in the world, he can be equal to him. Intersecting, one can imagine how much his power is involved.

Chapter 14 Reforming Business

Wansanqian clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are flattering the prize. Xiaomin is just lucky. Under the great grace of the emperor, he has accumulated a little wealth."

"Small family background." Emperor Zhengde couldn't help laughing and said, "If your family background is small, there will be no rich family in my Ming Dynasty."

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Hua family in the south of the Yangtze River has been the wealthiest, but I am only right. If you randomly pick out the stores of aristocratic families from all over the country, two and a half of them will belong to the Hua family, while the remaining seven and a half families will belong to the Hua family. There are five families belonging to you, Wan Sanqian, Wan Daguan, I don’t know if I’m right!”

Wan Sanqian's heart suddenly tensed up. He never thought that the emperor would know everything about his family. How could this be possible?You have to know that even Zhu Wushi, the god of iron and courage who cooperated with him, doesn't know all of his net worth!

"Your Majesty is right. The grassroots have indeed made great achievements in business." Wan Sanqian bowed, "But the wealth of the little people is under my Ming Dynasty. How can there be such an achievement."

Emperor Zhengde nodded, and then said, "Then you know, what is the so-called reason why I am looking for you this time?"

"This..." Wan Sanqian hesitated for a while, then shook his head and smiled wryly, "How can the grassroots guess what the emperor thinks in his heart."

Emperor Zhengde smiled, and didn't expose him, but said lightly, "You should know that when the Eight Tigers rebelled and Liu Jin made chaos in the court, the people suffered a lot. In the past few years, my wings have grown a little, so I got rid of him." But after Liu Jin was removed, the court was in chaos, the people were poor and poor, and the Tatars in the north and Mongolia were also staring at them, so the treasury was very tight."

"Cao Min understands." Wan Sanqian breathed a sigh of relief, since Emperor Zhengde made the matter clear, it was nothing more than asking himself for money.And the most indispensable thing in the world is money, and it is the best thing to exchange money for one's own safety.

"No, you don't understand." Emperor Zhengde shook his head slightly and said, "Do you think that I recruited you this time to ask you for money to fill the treasury?"

Looking at Wansanqian and Zhu Wushi's puzzled expressions, Emperor Zhengde said indifferently, "Wansanqian, although you are the richest businessman in the world, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are as rich as an enemy, but you are only a businessman after all, and your eyes on problems are also different. Just look at it from the perspective of a businessman. If you look at it from my perspective, even if you hand over all your wealth to the national treasury, it will only make Daming more than ten years of finances, but is it beneficial to the people? Is it beneficial to the Ming Dynasty?"

"No." Emperor Zhengde said sternly, "Although your wealth is huge, it also means that you occupy a large share of the whole country. If you fail, the commercial economy of the Ming Dynasty will be abandoned for at least ten years. , and without the circulation of commerce, the economies of various regions cannot develop, and it will only make the common people more and more impoverished, and if this continues, the Ming Dynasty will be barren for at least a few decades."

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Wan Sanqian frowned, his eyes lit up, and the businessman's sense of smell made him feel a great opportunity.

"Reform business." Emperor Zhengde spit out these four words flatly.

"Reform business?" Not only Wan Sanqian, but even Zhu Wushi was shocked by Emperor Zhengde's idea. The reform of business is terrible. One mistake will cause the entire Ming Dynasty to cause a huge wave. Killing Liu Jin and restoring the peaceful dynasty will cause waves again.

"Your Majesty can't do it!" Zhu ignored immediately dissuaded, "Your Majesty, Liu Jin has just been removed, and it hasn't been long before the court has returned to calm. If there is a commercial reform, it will inevitably set off a huge wave in various places. If there is the slightest mistake, let the people The people's grievances are everywhere, and it will definitely affect my Ming Dynasty!"

Emperor Zhengde gently reached out his hand to stop Zhu Wushi's words, and sighed slightly, "How can I not understand the meaning of the emperor's uncle, but the emperor's uncle has ever thought that this moment is the best time for business reform." .”

Without waiting for Zhu Wushi to open his mouth, he continued, "Today, Wansanqian occupies four points of the world's business, Jiangnan Huajia occupies two points, and the Ming Dynasty's own business organizations also account for two points. It can be said that only Wansanqian and the Hua family Together with the imperial court, we can occupy [-]% of the world's business."

Zhu ignored the slight change in expression, and Emperor Zhengde continued, "Which dynasty was the most prosperous and prosperous throughout the dynasties? The Southern Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was the most prosperous and affluent time in the Central Plains. At that time, although farming was a large The income that allows the people to live a prosperous life is the circulation of commerce. During the Song Dynasty, the government greatly promoted the development of commerce, which led to the prosperity of the Song Dynasty."

"However, it was different in the Ming Dynasty. The Mongols invaded, and the commerce of the Song Dynasty fell into a trough. Since the founding of the country, commerce has not been promoted. The people have no other income except farming. Naturally, life is worse every day. Day. However, if commerce is promoted, goods from all over the country will flow, and the commercial trade will be greatly accelerated, which will definitely make the economy of my Ming Dynasty change with each passing day. You must know that things that do not flow will always be dead things, and money can only be spent. , to earn more money. Wansanqian, do you think what I said is true?" Emperor Zhengde asked Wansanqian.

Wan Sanqian looked quite excited at this time and said, "The grassroots agree with the emperor's words. Only when business flows can more wealth be created. If the economy of a place is like a pool of stagnant water, then there is no possibility of development. Just relying on How can the people grow rich from the crops grown in the ground.”

"However, if there are mistakes and omissions in business, then the Ming Dynasty will inevitably cause huge waves, and even a bad one will cause the Ming Dynasty's economy to completely decline." Zhu Wushi still objected, "And if the court pays too much attention to business, Agriculture and industry will also be greatly impacted, which will cause a large number of people who make a living from this to lose their jobs."

"Uncle Huang's words are wrong!" Emperor Zhengde said flatly, "The ancients said that scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have problems with their arrangement. Scholars refer to scholars. It is reasonable for the imperial court to select talents and manage the world. Scholars rank first. But agriculture is an industry that bears hardships and hardships, and it is the occupation of the working people themselves, but it is ranked second. This is a kind of irony. Industry is the foundation of a country's strength, and business! It is the foundation of a country. The lifeline, without merchants, the whole country is like a pool of stagnant water, no matter how well the agriculture and industry develop, it can only feed one side of the people, but the business is well developed, but it can feed the people of the whole country.”
