It's a pity that there are still big things that need this girl. Before that, Mao Jue dared not touch Luo Ning, a shrewd girl who could always take advantage of her. !Under the resentful eyes of this girl, Mao Jue suddenly poured cold water on himself and calmed down.

"The property of the Luo family, I will give you 500 million taels, and I will get [-]% of the shares!"

"Also talking about being a concubine, the prince is the biggest profiteer!"

Before that, the Luo family’s property was no less than 2000 million taels. Taking advantage of Nanming’s pissing pants after taking over Hangzhou City, they merged a series of Hangzhou industries at a low price. The priceless Luo family is really no joke now. Jue and Luo Ning were split in half, and now he wanted to take away 500% of the shares for 40.00 million taels. It was indeed a bit of a force to buy and sell, but seeing this girl pouted aggrievedly, Mao Jue was even more troubled. pat on the head.

"Just be content! This time, my king's mighty 30 troops crushed Jiangnan, and after many bloody battles, I got less than 800 million taels from Jiangnan. You can sit comfortably at home, and you will get 500 million taels." Besides, this king is going to do big things with these shares. He needs to bring together all the industrial and commercial people in Hangzhou City. Your 50.00% shares will be worth more than the current [-]% in a short time, so you are secretly happy Bar!"

"My lord said it nicely. The 500 million taels will be returned to my lord as a dowry when I marry a concubine!"

Mao Jue was helpless again, this little vixen is too shrewd!What Mao Jue said specifically to her was noticed by this girl. After becoming angry from embarrassment, Mao Jue stopped pretending to be a serious prince, and directly took out the Dongjiang iron rule, and scratched the girl's ass with both hands without making noise. Suddenly, the entire carriage rang out like silver bells of laughter.

"Ahahahahahaha!!! It's so itchy! I know I'm wrong, the prince will do whatever he says! Stop scratching, ahaha, help me!"

........

The Jiangnan aristocratic family's methods of corrupting and wooing are really powerful. Even Mao Jue's personal bodyguard Ying Ji was "bought", Mao Jue bullied him in the carriage, and signed the "unequal treaty" when he returned home. The itchy Luo Ning launched revenge when he returned home. At the dinner party for Mao Jue, there were such things as sea cucumber Buddha jumping over the wall, fried shrimp with leeks, Longjing pork kidney flower, Australian geoduck, anyway, whatever aphrodisiac came.

After a meal, Mao Jue's eyes were sparkling, and Luo Ning coquettishly helped him to the bedroom. Seeing that he was about to mount a gun, Luo Ning felt uncomfortable, and retreated shyly, holding back The hot Mao Jue was almost driven crazy by this move.

Full of exasperation, he wanted to find Ying Ji to vent his anger, but who knew that several trusted guards ruthlessly smashed Mao Jue's dream to pieces.

Sakura-sama is on vacation today, and went to town to enjoy the moon and drink!

The insects outside the window seemed to be grinning and laughing at a certain king, chirping even louder, and Mao Jue, who was sitting sleeplessly with his brother, picked up a brush and wrote a letter to Adelaine sadly.

"Come on, your husband is going to die!"

Chapter 633. Major shareholder

China's unique official position is really deformed and magical. Let alone a big city like Yangzhou in the west, even a small town a few sizes smaller than this, it is impossible for the entire city's businessmen to stand together respectfully without quarreling. It is impossible for these people to reach a consensus on what to serve on a dish, but here, in Hangzhou, Mao Jue gave an order that all industrial and commercial owners go up to the big merchants who charter boats to travel to Nanyang, and go down to set up stalls at the gate of the city Small merchants who sell steamed stuffed buns and medicines, as long as they can be called bosses, thousands of people will gather together.

Although Luo Ning was greedy for the Luo family, she also did a good job. The entire Hangzhou has only the wealth of the Luo family, and these Nanming officials dare not touch it. As long as Luo Ning is willing to sell the unsustainable business owner and even brothel Chuguan, Luo Ning will buy them all, and appoint the previous boss and shopkeeper to continue the operation. Even if there is no business, he will still pay for it.

In the doomsday-like Great Depression, it is a miracle that these old businessmen and skilled workers who have been in business for many years did not flee and leave their homes!Most of the industrial and commercial elites were preserved, which provided sufficient manpower for Mao Jue's upcoming big event.

Compared with their counterparts in the West, these Ming capitalists are easy to bully. They knelt in the big courtyard of Luojia Manor and waited early in the morning. They didn't even drink gruel, but no one said anything. So much so that when Mao Jue came out yawning, he was shocked to see the people kneeling on the ground.

"You guys, when did you come here, hurry up, please hurry up!"

Staring at the old shopkeeper of Wanbao Store in the front, Mao Jue hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, but just as he stretched out his hand, a nosebleed sprang from his nostrils. It really made up for it last night!

The poor old man had a heart attack and almost got scared. He just stood up, but he knelt back all of a sudden, kowtowing his head.

"The old man is guilty, the old man is guilty!"

Resentfully wiping the blood with his sleeve, Mao Jue rolled his eyes depressedly, next to him, covered by a round fan, Luo Ning smiled like a little vixen, his bulging breasts heaving uncontrollably , watching Mao Jue felt that his nose was hot again, so he quickly raised his head.

After laughing for a long time, Luo Ning adjusted his expression under Mao Jue's murderous eyes, and walked out gracefully. This girl is really an ever-changing fairy. As a mature, majestic and a bit cold beauty, in front of people, she was the first to give Mao Jue a serious bow, and then turned to the group of businessmen who had finally stood up and knelt down with dignity, loudly Jiao shouted.

"From today, the Prince Regent will hold [-]% of the shares in my Luo family, and will run the Luo family as the largest owner, and also yours!"

"Meet the big boss!"

Knowing what he and others were doing early in the morning, the shopkeepers knelt heavily again, and the sound of prostration was much more orderly this time.

I also understood what Luo Ning meant. Although betrayal abounded in the late Ming Dynasty, the ancients still valued this status. Since they made themselves the boss, these people had to switch their allegiance to Luo Ning to themselves. Putting aside his red sleeves, Mao Jue also solemnly accepted their visit, and immediately coughed heavily.

"Everyone, you are all elites in the business circle of Hangzhou City. In the old days, you were also prominent figures. The shopkeeper of your own business is now working under the hands of Mao. Mao understands that you are unwilling, but Mao can guarantee that Mao Jue will definitely not let you regret joining this king in the future! Not only Hangzhou, but the world will change for you!"

What Mao Jue said was full of enthusiasm, which was exactly the same as what he said when he joined the black-hearted small company in the later generations. Unfortunately, there was no applause.

These words are a bit nonsense, who can be unwilling to be under Mao Jue's hands?If you work for Mao Jue, you are an imperial merchant. Even if these people hadn't been robbed of their property before, Mao Jue wanted to recruit imperial merchants, and many people would be willing to join them even if they paid for their family assets. And who can look down on the prospects of the imperial merchants?

He cleared his throat again in embarrassment, and immediately Mao Jue slapped his hand depressed.

"Silk Zhuangzi, come out of the silk shop, stand in a row, stand in a row for those who grow tea and sell tea related to tea, and stand in a row for other cloth sellers and porcelain sellers, start work!"

"Grassmen obey!"

Amid the tidy responses of a group of big merchants from Hangzhou, Mao Jue's trade reform started again in a daze.

There is government intervention, organized and premeditated, and it is different from the disorderly competition and development of small businesses. The entire Hangzhou business has synthesized a huge trust industry. The group that is good at planting mulberry, the group that is good at raising silkworms, and the group that weaves silk and concentrates on large-scale production, the silk production has suddenly increased, and more than 40 silk shops in Hangzhou have unified pricing, and one standard evaluation The quality of raw silk and the chaotic silk market have also become standardized.

There is also tea, and porcelain. In just a few days, the market in Hangzhou City has quickly become standardized and efficient, even more efficient than Tieshan. After all, Tieshan has several guilds competing with each other even in the same industry. , there is not even a competitor here, and all of them have been annexed by Mao Jue's family.

Moreover, after Mao Jue presided over this auspicious operation, he also gave out a lot of benefits. All the lower-level silk farmers, weavers, tea farmers who joined took the lead in paying three months of money and rice wages to relieve the low-level citizens who were plundered by Nanming. Old merchants also issue shares ranging from 4000/4000 to [-]/[-]. Don't underestimate this [-]th. The market value of the entire auspicious operation is [-] taels, and [-]/[-]th is also worth [-] taels.

And not long after, the shopkeeper manager-level Hangzhou businessman who received the shares was surprised to find that the value of his shares was going up as if he had burned his butt.

With the restoration of order in Hangzhou, the trade here has also prospered rapidly. After all, after the war with Nanming, the goods in Nanming suddenly became in short supply. I heard that Mao Jue had rectified Hangzhou. Even if they are far away in Shaanxi, the Shanxi merchants who have been severely injured by Li Zicheng's attack are like sharks smelling blood. They gather here after hearing the news. The silk that has just been listed, the export The tea was sold out immediately.

In Nanming's hands, the city of Hangzhou worth 700 million taels has become a cornucopia again.

However, not only the merchants and tycoons from the north, but also the white-striped sea sharks in the waves in the southern waters, and heroes from all walks of life also gathered in Hangzhou City. Those are all big and small pirates under Zheng Zhilong's command. Well, this Zheng Zhilong didn't hide his secrets, he issued a summoning order, and all the pirates from the South China Sea gathered in Hangzhou one after another to meet their new leader, the master.

However, for these people, Mao Jue surprisingly didn't think about recruiting them this time.

There is no way, for the Dongjiang Imperial Fleet, which has a strict military discipline, these heroes who are accustomed to the habits of the world and are used to being loose are really difficult to adapt. Navy troops.

Besides, Mao Jue had other arrangements for them.

Along with these pirates going north was a special group of guests.

On July [-]th, amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, a foreign-style goods store, completely different from Ming-style buildings, was established on South Street outside Yuhang City, next to the port. The five characters of the East India Company are shining brightly.

Seeing the empty shoppers with no one to congratulate him, the governor of Taiwan, Vanderbilt, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Unlike the heartless and arrogant Lu Feili, he was a small capitalist from the bottom. Born in China, he has experienced the cruel 80-year war and made military exploits, and then climbed to his current position. He knows the cruelty of this world very well. Since Mao Jue's proposal was rejected by the East India Company, Fan Debao doesn't think that Ming can still live in peace with the East India Company.

The war will definitely come! It's just when will it come!

This warehouse is actually Vanderbilt’s test of Daming. If it is blocked directly, it means that the Ming Empire is already preparing for war. Vanderbilt is on the front line of the Taiwan branch closest to Daming. An early warning can be made. Now it seems that no suitable agent has been found. In a short time, it seems that Ming and the Netherlands can still have a period of peace.

"Prepare the ship, the governor will leave tonight and go back to the Taiwan branch!"

Vanderbilt, the military governor, has no interest in how the store operates. After this trial, he is ready to go back before the smoke of the firecrackers clears up.

However, Vanderbilt had miscalculated a little. Mao Jue wanted to deal with him, so he had to close the country to prevent intelligence from leaking, and he had to secretly gather troops to make such a big fanfare?

It was less than two kilometers away from the warehouse opened by Vanderbilt, and on the Cuiwei Pavilion of the Wulin Gate, which could overlook the scenery of the West Lake, Mao Jue ushered in a group of new guests.

Although it is also covered in hair, but a pair of thick beards are rolled up, wearing a dark green cloak, which is wrapped in a knee-length robe, and the riding boots sewn with thick thread directly reach the knees, a group of gentlemen with crooked nuts and black velvet Under the caps, each of them has a gray and white wig. Compared with two months ago, Rufeli's golden wig, green Chinese embroidered vest with gold buttons, and black velvet coat, this group of people is undoubtedly A lot of shabby.

But compared to the arrogant Lu Feili, these people have seen a lot. Mao Jue had just walked upstairs when a group of British gentlemen stood up neatly, and immediately bowed down in very standard Ming etiquette. When they were on the ground, they didn't know if their wigs were stuck on their foreheads, but they didn't even fall off after knocking their heads.

"Lord Robert Smith, director of the East India Company, pays homage to His Majesty the Regent of the Ming Dynasty! I bring the sincere greetings from the British royal family to Your Majesty!"
