Chapter 176 Heads fall to the ground(1/2)
"Why should I give my lordship's money to those idiots?!"
Upon hearing that Zhao Yu wanted to share his money, Uncle Yongqing took the box in his arms and glared at Zhao Yu.
"The grains of my Yuheng Rice Shop are shipped from the south of the Yangtze River at my own expense. How much they sell for is my own business, and no one can control it!"
"Others are afraid of you, the Royal Guard, but I am not. If you make me unhappy, even if you say hello to my uncle, you will confiscate your home and exterminate your clan!"
Zhao Yu looked at the angry Uncle Yongqing, but smiled calmly and said: "Sir, please calm down. This is your Majesty's wish. After all, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world..."
"Fart! Don't think about using the emperor to pressure me, I won't do that either!"
Uncle Yongqing directly slapped the tea slip, pointed at Zhao Yu and shouted: "Don't give me those fancy words, I don't understand, the world will not perish, it's none of my business!
If you want to steal food from my Lord’s bowl and give it to those untouchables, there is no way!!”
After what Uncle Yongqing said, the smile on Zhao Yu's face became stronger and stronger.
But the few wealthy businessmen who were invited by Zhao Yu to testify were sweating on their foreheads at this moment.
Uncle Yongqing is an ignorant stickman, but they are all human beings with nine holes in their hearts.
When doing business in Beijing, even if there are people behind you to support them, they, the shopkeepers who put themselves in front of others, are definitely better at observing what is happening than the average person.
Otherwise, why would the big guys behind the scenes use them?
Having said that, looking at Zhao Yu's expression, they realized with horror that Jin Yiwei's governor was going to lead Uncle Yongqing to a dead end today.
Not to mention anything else, just what Uncle Yongqing said just now: Whether the world is destroyed or not is none of his business...
This sentence alone, according to Daqian law, is enough to kill the future father-in-law with a thousand cuts!
"What do you mean, sir?"
Zhao Yu added tea slowly and then looked at the angry Uncle Yongqing beside him with a calm expression.
"Your Majesty has accepted these thousand taels. I am also a generous man, so I won't care about what happened yesterday.
But don’t even think about the two things you just said.
As far as national laws are concerned, what I am doing is a legitimate business. Not to mention you, the royal guard, even my in-law emperor can't control it!
Speaking of backers, don’t forget that my daughter is now Princess Yu, the emperor’s daughter-in-law. When the emperor dies and my uncle succeeds to the throne, I will be the father-in-law of the country. By then, all of you Jin Yiwei will be my slaves!!
!”
Bang...
After Yongqing Bo's impassioned speech, all the wealthy businessmen present were so frightened that they could no longer hold the fine porcelain teacups in their hands!
Even Zhao Yu was slightly stunned.
Originally, he felt that even though Uncle Yongqing was from a lowly background and did not understand some of the royal court rules, he still knew what was good and bad, right?
But now it seems that this guy has two arms and two legs, and a water-filled head on his neck!
Staring at Uncle Yongqing, Zhao Yu looked at the proud look in his eyes and suddenly understood.
When a villain suddenly gets rich, he will inevitably become arrogant and domineering.
In the past, when his daughter was just a maid in Prince Yu's palace, Uncle Yongqing, who was still a mason at the time, although he was also ignorant, he also knew that these words should not be said.
But now that she has become the emperor's in-laws, she is completely lost!
In his opinion, the emperor and he were in-laws, so what could be so great about saying a few casual words?
Ethically speaking, the man sitting in the Palace of Eternal Life is his in-laws.
But he ignored it... that man was still the king's father above millions of people in the country, and the most majestic emperor in the world!
For the emperor, not to mention that his daughter was just Princess Yu, she was the emperor's own son. She would probably die if she said such treasonous words!
Zhao Yu ignored Uncle Yongqing, but turned to look at the other wealthy businessmen and asked: "What do you mean?"
"this……"
Several giant businessmen look at me and I look at you, but they don’t know what to say.
After agreeing to Zhao Yu's conditions, he couldn't explain to the master behind him after he returned.
But I won’t agree...
They were tacitly agreeing to stand on the same line as Yongqing Bo.
In this way, just based on what they said just now, the people of Jinyiwei can accuse them of confiscating their homes and exterminating their clans.
"Don't be afraid! With my Lord supporting you, I'll see who dares to do anything to you!!"
Seeing that several wealthy businessmen were a little afraid of Zhao Yu, Uncle Yongqing jumped out again at this time, patted his chest and said.
If you dare to scheme against him, Uncle Yongqing, he will refute the face of Jin Yiwei, a dog slave, today!
The wealthy businessmen glanced at the arrogant-looking Uncle Yongqing, and couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.
Seeing that this was a trap set by the Beisi Town Governor, he kept moving forward!
"Everyone, since you all have concerns, I will give you one more step..."
Zhao Yu stood up and served tea to all the wealthy businessmen again before saying, "Since your Majesty has given this plaque to you, there is no reason to take it back.
Shopkeepers, let’s do this. Whoever pays the highest bid will get the plaque. Of course, the silver earned will be regarded as charity money for the Chuxue disaster.”
"Okay, okay, this is the best!"
"Yes, yes, in this way, we can not only inherit the emperor's great kindness, but also relieve the needs of the victims, wonderful!"
…
After listening to Zhao Yu's words, several wealthy businessmen breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, only one of them will donate money in the end, and he will also receive a plaque from the emperor.
For them, it is not just throwing money into the water.
"Second, as for the current price of grain and rice, it's best if you want it to go down. If you don't want it to go down, I won't force it!"
After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he returned to his seat and sat down on the tea table.
"Um?!"
The giant businessmen all widened their eyes and looked at Zhao Yu in disbelief as he picked up the tea cup.
When did Jin Yiwei become so easy to talk to?
Is it really because of fear of Uncle Yongqing's power?
Everyone who thought of this shook their heads slightly in their hearts.
They felt that if Zhao Yu was really afraid of Uncle Yongqing's power, he could have summoned them directly to discuss matters. There was no need to bring along a troublemaker like Uncle Yongqing!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The reason why it is so happy is that the Beisi Governor must have some tricks up his sleeve.
"Don't be surprised, everyone. The envoy of this town said it exactly. Since you don't want to return the price, I won't force it, but..."
Having said this, Zhao Yu turned his head and glanced at Uncle Yongqing first, and then looked at several wealthy merchants and said: "Today, the cabinet drafted a new charter for trade at Jinkou, which will be followed by the border guards of salt, grain, tea and horses, and the canal transport of silk and cloth from the south of the Yangtze River.
There are also Jianghuai salt transportation official posts and so on.
I’m afraid you won’t be able to do these businesses safely in the future!!”
The faces of the wealthy people changed instantly.
A snow disaster can indeed make them a fortune.
But if Zhao Yu doesn't go along with it this time, this business will definitely not be able to continue in the future!
"Who are you scaring?!"
Everyone else's expressions changed, but Uncle Yongqing said with disdain: "Who among you here doesn't have the support of a big shot? How can you cut off the money pockets of those masters with your little royal guard? Bah!
"
After hearing what Bang Chui said, other people's hearts also moved.
They were smarter than Uncle Yongqing, but at first they felt a little nervous after seeing Zhao Yu's colorful flying fish suit.
At this moment, Uncle Yongqing pointed it out, and their hearts became more active.
After all, how can someone who can become a big businessman in the capital not have one or two high-ranking officials of first or second rank as backers?
Although Zhao Yu is the governor of Beisi Town of Jinyiwei, can he cut off their financial path with just one word?
Obviously somewhat unrealistic!
"The words... I have already made it very clear."
Zhao Yu drank the fragrant tea in the teacup in one gulp, and then stood up slowly. After taking a look at everyone present, he said in a cold voice: "Who agrees and who opposes?"
"I am against..."
Poof!!
Uncle Yong Qing subconsciously slapped the table, but before he could finish his words, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and then the whole tea room started to spin.
"!!!"
