People are all like this.

When you lose something, you think about what others have lost as well.

After all, it was only 8,900 acres of fertile land, and Lan Yu still felt a little distressed.

Now, of course, we have to encourage everyone to hand it over to His Royal Highness Chang Sun.

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said this, Cao Zhen got excited. He grabbed a glass of wine from Wang Bi and said to Lan Yu, "Duke Liang, you've made a fortune this time. A 30% stake is worth 1.5 million coins."

"My God, I have never had so much money before. I'm afraid the fertile land you handed over is not even 10,000 acres."

"One mu of top-quality farmland is worth at most ten taels of silver, which is equivalent to twenty strings of silver coins on the market. It's a huge profit, a huge profit!!!"

All the uncles and dukes nearby were moved; they had not thought of this at first.

I used to think that Duke Liang Lan Yu was crazy, but now it seems that they are the ones who are crazy.

The key point is that they now have to pay money to buy shares of His Royal Highness Chang Sun.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, His Royal Highness Chang Sun came here in person today and gave a detailed introduction and explanation.

If you don't buy any of them, does that mean you don't have enough face for His Royal Highness Chang Sun's five thousand strings of treasure notes?

In this case, no matter how painful it is, you have to pay for it.

"That is my wine. His Highness Changsun said that this wine is mine. Marquis Jingchuan, please give it back to me." Wang Bi didn't care so much. When he saw his wine being taken away, he started shouting.

"Look at your useless look. It's just a glass of wine. What's the big deal? Do you know that the Duke of Liang in front of you owns 30% of the shares of the winery?"

"If you want to drink this wine every day in the future, you have to curry favor with our Duke of Liang, General Lan."

Cao Zhen said jokingly.

Lan Yu didn't care when he heard it. They were all brothers, so there was no need to be so particular.

Wang Bi listened to this and suddenly looked thoughtful. Then he said seriously, "I have to do the same as Duke Liang and sell all the land in my family to His Royal Highness Chang Sun."

"Everything that can be sold at home and is useless will be sold to invest in the company."

"I don't understand the art of business, but according to His Royal Highness Chang Sun's instructions, and with thousands of people making this wine, the production must be very high."

"It's not just in our Ming Dynasty, but especially in the grasslands, deserts, and even distant countries. It will definitely sell well."

"No matter how much money you invest now, it's worth it."

Everyone felt that Wang Bi was possessed by a demon, as his eyes were glowing green.

Lan Yu nodded with a smile on his face, but in his heart he was thinking, could it be that what he just said really made sense? Could he have conquered Dingyuan Hou directly?

Wang Bi didn't care about that. He tasted wines from all over the world and naturally knew what position this wine held in the hearts of drinkers. Some wine lovers were even willing to spend all their money just for a sip of this fine wine.

…

When the sun sets in the west,

Outside the gate of Nanjing, a group of knights finally arrived.

The crowd at the city gate was separated, and the soldiers stationed there also knelt on one knee and saluted: "Greetings to His Majesty the Prince of Yan!"

Zhu Di sat on his horse, looking at the three big words "Nanjing City" with a sigh.

After nearly four months, he came to the capital again.

However, compared to the last time, I felt extremely melancholy this time.

After Zhu Ying was announced to be the crowned grandson and the date of October 1 was set, he had already announced it to all the princes.

According to royal etiquette, except for special circumstances, all princes must go to the capital to witness the enthronement ceremony.

For example, Prince of Qin Zhu Chong and Prince of Jin Zhu Gang had already arrived in the capital yesterday.

Zhu Di could actually have arrived earlier, but he had some thoughts in his mind, so he delayed it until today.

"Your son greets his father."

Zhu Gaochi, who had been waiting for a long time, saw his father Zhu Di stop his horse and hurried forward to pay his respects.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi and was still extremely disgusted by his fat figure.

With a cold snort, he rode away.

Zhu Gaochi was obviously accustomed to such treatment. Without saying much, he got into his sedan chair and followed.

Turning to look at his eldest son sitting in the sedan chair, Zhu Di felt more and more ashamed. He spurred his horse and sped away.

In the Prince of Yan's mansion, Zhu Di had already taken off his armor and changed his clothes, and Zhu Gaochi just hurried over.

Zhu Di sat in the lobby, looking at his eldest son who was out of breath after just a few steps, with some impatience in his eyes.

After taking a sip of tea, he said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, father." Zhu Gaochi bowed and then sat down.

"During the time when my father was away from the capital, has anything happened? Or what is the current situation of my eldest nephew?"

"Tomorrow is the ceremony to enthronize my nephew. Do you know anything about this?"

Zhu Di asked directly without any hesitation.

Zhu Di was not in a very good mood at the moment. Ever since Master Daoyan left, he had always felt that something was missing.

Although he had counselors under his command, they were far inferior to those of Master Daoyan.

With Daoyan's arrangements, many aspects of the future seem very easy.

Right now, no one can handle this alone.

Zhu Gaochi had been in the capital, but because of his father Zhu Di, especially the previous inside stories, he had little contact with Zhu Ying and was more restrained.

There are some things that Zhu Gaochi cannot casually participate in.

Even though he is the emperor's grandson.

When Zhu Gaochi heard his father's question, he was well prepared and reported the actions of the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce in the capital.

For example, the great preferential treatment in the capital, the recruitment of workers by the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty Security Bureau, the preferential treatment for retired veterans, the military parade at the enthronement ceremony, and the current training situation of the soldiers in the capital's garrisons, he explained everything to his father Zhu Di in detail.

Zhu Gaochi's narration was quite detailed and it took him almost two incense sticks to finish it all.

During this period, Zhu Di frowned slightly and listened quietly.

After hearing everything, Zhu Di frowned and said, "Why does my nephew spend most of his time on business?"

"But he does have some tricks for the Ming soldiers. Even though I'm on the coast, I've heard about it."

"It's just that as the crown prince, I often hang out with merchants and the like, and I don't mind lowering my status."

Zhu Gaochi didn't know how to respond after hearing what his father said.

It was like he was talking to himself, or like he was talking to himself.

Zhu Di looked at his eldest son Zhu Gaochi's submissive look and became furious. He said, "Go find your cousin Li Jinglong now. I have something to discuss with him."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi quickly stood up and said, "Your son obeys your order."

Zhu Gaochi, who had just returned, could only hurriedly get on the sedan chair and head towards the palace.

Normally, Li Jinglong should be at the Five Military Commandery at this moment, but when Zhu Gaochi arrived, he found that he was not there.

Fortunately, someone told me that I could go to Wanhua Tower to have a look.

Zhu Gaochi was speechless and had to go to Wanhua Tower again before he found Li Jinglong.

However, to Zhu Gaochi's surprise, Li Jinglong looked clear-headed and did not look like he was seeking for pleasure.

When Li Jinglong heard that Prince of Yan had returned, he was surprised and hurriedly followed Zhu Gaochi back.

Because Zhu Gaochi was riding in a sedan chair, Li Jinglong chose to go ahead and quickly rush to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

"Uncle."

Li Jinglong bowed with some joy.

"There's no need for all this empty formalities between you and me. Please take a seat quickly." Zhu Di said with a smile, his tone very intimate, which made Li Jinglong feel warm in his heart.

After some pleasantries, Zhu Di got down to business and asked, "I heard that the Heroes Chamber of Commerce has been making quite a fuss in the capital recently."

"I wonder if Jinglong has heard any news."

Upon hearing this, Li Jinglong said, "Uncle, what you asked is a good idea. I was just talking to someone about the British Chamber of Commerce."

"My cousin has heard about the news that the Heroes Chamber of Commerce is setting up a factory and recruiting workers at His Royal Highness Chang Sun's place."

Zhu Di nodded and replied, "I have heard about this. The Duke of Liang even handed over all his land, which was 8,900 acres. It is said that my nephew also gave him 30% of the shares of the winery."

Hearing this, Li Jinglong sighed and said, "Now it seems that the Duke of Liang has made a fortune with this move."

Zhu Di asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Li Jinglong smacked his lips and said, "Less than two hours ago, the eldest grandson went to the Duke of Liang's mansion for dinner and proposed to sell shares of the new factory. One tenth of the shares will be sold in 100 shares, totaling 10% and 500,000 strings of Ming treasure notes."

"Calculated this way, a 30% stake is worth 1.5 million guan of treasure notes. The Duke of Liang has fertile land that is not even 10,000 acres. Wouldn't that be a huge profit?"

Zhu Di exclaimed: "You are crazy! A 10% stake of 500,000 guan of treasure notes is at least 200,000 taels of silver. Isn't this a forced sale?"

After he finished speaking, Zhu Di suddenly realized something and said, "Did my father not reprimand me for doing this?"

For some reason, Zhu Di felt secretly delighted after he realized what was going on.

Even Zhu Di had to be wary of the Huaixi nobles and military generals group.

Especially Lan Yu, who could be said to be half his master during the time in Peking. He knew in his heart that if he were to go against Lan Yu, he would lose more than he won under the same circumstances.

Zhu Ying's current actions have obviously offended the entire Huaixi noble and military group.

Even if you don't say it on the surface, there is a knot in your heart.

It's not a good thing after all.

Zhu Di was even more aware that these military generals, relying on their status as founding heroes, were lawless and arrogant.

Like Lan Yu, who was so drunk with horse urine that he even dared to talk back to his father.

It seems okay in the capital, but outside the capital, it is lawless.

These were all things that Zhu Di had witnessed with his own eyes.

However, just when Zhu Di was secretly happy, Li Jinglong's words were like a basin of cold water poured directly on Zhu Di's head.

"Uncle, you are wrong. When I heard the news, I really believed it. However, after reading the introduction booklet carefully, I realized that 500,000 strings of cash is worth it. It is so worth it!"

"Five hundred thousand strings of cash is a bit much, but with five thousand strings of cash per share, most people can still afford it. I'm also planning to sell some of my land and buy a few shares by then."

"I heard that the Heroes Chamber of Commerce will buy land at the higher market price, and His Royal Highness Chang Sun has also announced that those who want to sell their land will be given priority over him. This is very good."

"In this way, I can establish a relationship with His Royal Highness Chang Sun."

"That is to say, the news has not spread yet. In my opinion, in a few days, countless noble merchants will wave their precious banknotes to the Qunying Merchants to buy shares."

"I don't know when His Royal Highness Changsun will sell it. Currently, only a few dukes and marquises are eligible to purchase it."
