Chapter 445 Let’s Talk It Over



Afterwards, Qian Ruoyu brought Jin Lianhua and Liu Dehai to the gate of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

When Qian Ruoyu just arrived at the gate of the Three Kingdoms in the capital, the two people standing at the gate immediately began to grit their teeth at Qian Ruoyu, because it was Qian Ruoyu that caused them to lose tens of millions of taels in one go.

"What are you doing here? We at the Beijing Chamber of Commerce don't welcome you!"

"That's right, our Beijing Chamber of Commerce does not welcome anyone from the palace!"

After hearing what they said, Qian Ruoyu looked very calm and didn't care about them at all.

"Stop talking nonsense, let the people in charge speak up, you two little minions have no say in this!"

When they heard these words, the two men obviously wanted to fight. They never expected that Qian Ruoyu would say such rude words.

When the two men were about to rush up, Jin Lianhua had already walked forward and stopped them directly, and with just one hand each, she pressed the two men down in place.

"Didn't you hear what our queen said? Call out all the people you can talk to, otherwise I will destroy both of you!"

Qian Ruoyu didn't expect that Jin Lianhua would say such domineering words, but at this time she was waiting for the response from the two people.

Moreover, the two people on the ground seemed very stubborn at this moment, but they immediately nodded, looking as if begging for mercy.

And it was only after that that Qian Ruoyu was invited to the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. However, along the way, they looked at her with a covetous look on their faces, and it was obvious that they regarded Qian Ruoyu as a tigress.

Qian Ruoyu finally met the old man who had spoken to her before.

When the old man saw Qian Ruoyu again, he obviously had an unfriendly look on his face. He had never expected that Qian Ruoyu would come to his Beijing Chamber of Commerce again.

Qian Ruoyu could also see that this old man was the real boss of the Capital Chamber of Commerce, the one who really had the final say. After all, he only said a few words today, but they were enough to make the Capital Chamber of Commerce take out so much silver.

"Princess, what are you doing here again?"

Qian Ruoyu said very calmly.

"What's wrong? Don't you welcome my coming this time? Well, I won't say much. I'll just get straight to the point now!"

"This princess has decided to cooperate with your Beijing Chamber of Commerce for mutual benefit. What do you think?"

After suddenly hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, the old man was obviously stunned. He never expected Qian Ruoyu to say such a thing, because it was because of Qian Ruoyu that their Beijing Chamber of Commerce was blocked.

Now Qian Ruoyu actually asked to cooperate with them again, which naturally made the old man feel very uneasy.

"My Lady Princess, how would you like to cooperate?"

Qian Ruoyu still had a calm expression on his face and looked harmless.

"It's very simple. That is, if the Beijing Chamber of Commerce cooperates with me in the future, I can provide you with all the conveniences you want, but I need to take half of the share from you."

Half the share!

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, the old man couldn't help but slapped the table.

He never thought that Qian Ruoyu would actually ask for half of the share. This was an extremely huge and fatal request for the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

"My Lady Princess, don't you think your words are too much?"

"Although our Beijing Chamber of Commerce earns tens of millions of taels of silver a year, after paying taxes, only eight million taels of silver remain. In addition, we have many cooperative merchants who also need to share a portion of the silver. In the end, it is already good to have two million taels of silver left. You actually want to take one million taels out of it!"

"There are so many people in our Beijing Chamber of Commerce, and everyone has to eat dry food, according to what you said!"

But after hearing this, Qian Ruoyu still smiled and didn't say much. Instead, he stood up and walked towards the old man.

Qian Ruoyu's behavior made the old man a little puzzled, but then Qian Ruoyu returned to his original position and spoke calmly.

"Old sir, it seems that you are hiding something from me?"

"Tax silver? Haha, since you don't want the teacher to talk, there is nothing I can do. Chief Steward Liu, tell them how much tax silver the court collected."

It was only at this moment that the old man suddenly noticed Liu Dehai standing next to Qian Ruoyu.

"The tax paid by the Capital Chamber of Commerce is only 500,000 taels of silver every year, which is still too little. And as far as I know, the annual income of the Capital Chamber of Commerce is probably more than 10 million taels of silver, and even higher than this amount!"

"Since it's 20 million taels, according to what you said, doesn't that mean that your Beijing Chamber of Commerce didn't pay the full amount? It seems that you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Hearing what Liu Dehai said suddenly, the old man immediately recognized Liu Dehai's badge. He recognized at a glance that Liu Dehai was a person from the palace!

"Ah, you...you are?"

Liu Dehai snorted coldly.

"I am Liu Dehai, the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

After hearing these words, the old man who was originally sitting on the chair was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees. He never expected that the person standing next to Qian Ruoyu could be the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department in the palace!

The chief steward of the Imperial Household Department is not just a small character, he is the chief steward of the entire palace. When he saw Liu Dehai, he immediately spoke to the people in the distance.

"Hurry... hurry up, someone, show Manager Liu a seat!"

But at this time Liu Dehai said calmly.

"I came here for His Majesty. There are some things that are inconvenient to do. You don't have to take a seat. If people know my whereabouts, I'm afraid you won't see the sun tomorrow!"

The old man trembled continuously after hearing these words, and he hurriedly spoke to the person who was about to move a chair over from a distance.

"No need, no need, just go back!"

At this time, the old man also quickly stood up. He never thought that the person standing in front of him was Liu Dehai.

"This...ah, we...what I just said was indeed a little wrong. This...please give me a little chance to make up for it!"

Qian Ruoyu didn't expect that Liu Dehai would be so useful in dealing with the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. When the old men from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce heard Liu Dehai's name, they were so scared that they almost wet their pants, and they wanted to correct their mistakes as soon as possible.

"If you have anything to say, please talk nicely... Chief Steward Liu... Princess Princess..."
