"That...... Fourth son, can you take the liberty of asking. ”

"Speak!"

"What is Huaixi Xungui?" Liu Chun and Xu Zengshou sat in a carriage, chatting while going to the banquet.

Xu Zengshou was stunned for a moment, and rubbed his swollen and painful temples with his hand. Seeing that he was embarrassed, Liu Chun twisted his head to the side and pretended not to ask to avoid embarrassment.

Xu Zengshou sneered and said: "Liu experience, don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know where to start, after all, it's a bit complicated......"

Everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang can stand out among the heroes because of a group of old brothers in his hometown, among these people, there are both civil and military, holding Lao Zhu together and sending him to the throne of the emperor.

This group of people is known as Huaixi Xungui!

Just like Liu Bang has the old buddies of Pei County, Liu Xiu has the generals of Nanyang, Huaixi Xungui Group, in terms of strength, even above the Guanlong Group in the Tang Dynasty.

Xu Zengshou sighed, "Liu experience, let's start with the businessmen in the capital...... How many businessmen do you think are related to Xungui? ”

Liu Chun groaned: "It should be about half, right?" ”

"It's seventy percent...... Nothing more, no less! ”

"Ahh How spicy is it? Yoo Chun's voice was a little out of tune.

Xu Zengshou said: "At that time, His Majesty joined the righteous army, and fought from one place to another, until he captured Jinling, he could be regarded as having a safe foothold. At that time, there were almost daily wars, and the consumption of materials was uncountable. However, under the dispatch of the Korean Gong, there has never been a shortage of grain and grass......"

There are some things that Xu Miaojin also told Liu Chun, but she is too young and does not know comprehensively, but Xu Zengshou is different, he heard it from his father Xu Da, and he has also observed it in the capital for many years, and the experience gained is more convincing.

In addition to promoting the equalization of fields and the accumulation of grain and grass, Lao Zhu also bought and sold smuggling through merchants, accumulating strategic materials such as fine iron, gunpowder, horn, and lacquer...... Li Shanchang is indeed a capable man, he can not only farm, but also do business, under his management, the Ming army is well fed, the weapons are good, the morale is high, naturally repeated victories, the more they fight, the stronger they become......

Under the circumstances at that time, even Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Zhu Wenzheng had surrendered to Zhang Shicheng, and there was not much trust between people.

In order to ensure safety, Li Shanchang had to use the township party ...... If you think about it, there may not be a particularly good way.

At that time, all kinds of forces, dogs and teeth, fierce struggles, how could there be so much time and energy to distinguish which people were talented and which were reliable...... Only choose from the relatives and friends around you. Whether it is a person or a dog, if you push it up, you can withstand it, and you are a talent. If you can't stand it, you can't wait for it yourself, and the enemy will help you kill them......

In hindsight, the advantages of Li Shanchang's approach still outweigh the disadvantages, at least Zhu Yuanzhang successfully won the world.

But since he sat on the dragon chair, Lao Zhu felt uncomfortable...... Because of what, Huaixi Xungui is too powerful!

These people not only control the army, but also control many businesses and have a lot of wealth.

The entire government and the opposition are in their final say!

Lao Zhu's suspicion of rebellion is not unreasonable.

In the past 20 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it can actually be seen as a struggle between Lao Zhu and Huaixi nobles to seize power...... Zhu Yuanzhang first supported Liu Ji and others, and fought with Li Shan.

After Liu Ji died, Lao Zhu released Jinyiwei again, and even abolished the prime minister with his own hands and took over the power alone.

In fact, even the treasure money is related to the struggle between the two sides...... At that time, the value of the currency was chaotic, and the nobles had a huge amount of wealth in their hands by virtue of their strength, and the court and the market were all controlled by them...... Lao Zhu was angry, so he simply issued treasure banknotes and forced everyone to use them. It is equivalent to snatching it from the hands of the nobles!

You can see different scenery from different angles...... Sure enough, listening to Xu Zengshou's interpretation, Liu Chun gained a lot, and he was not at a loss in the face of the nobles.

"My father never formed a party for personal gain, nor did he appoint a private person, he stood between His Majesty and the noble and military ministers, and he did not want to get involved. However, Han Gong has always been unwilling, even if he was relegated to Fengyang, he still wants to make a comeback. In my opinion, sooner or later, His Majesty will definitely get rid of him! ”

Xu Zengshou raised his head and found that Liu Chun looked surprised, and suddenly laughed.

"What? Not convinced? ”

Liu Chun shook his head, can he not believe it, Li Shanchang really won't live long...... It's just that to Liu Chun's surprise, how can Xu Zengshou see it?

Maybe this guy is really pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, Xu Da is not as honest as he appears, he let the mediocre and old-fashioned eldest son inherit the title, if he doesn't keep a hand, the Xu family will be finished soon.

Maybe Xu Zengshou undertakes the mission of maintaining the stability of the Xu family!

Liu Chun thought secretly, and the carriage soon arrived at the restaurant.

Xu Zengshou reminded again: "These people may not be willing to listen to your mercy, if anyone makes trouble, don't quarrel with him, I will help persuade you." After all, doing business is about harmony and making money, and you don't want to rely on Your Majesty's trust to blindly collide, do you understand what I mean? ”

Liu Chunneng didn't understand, he had already seen a clue, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to support the bank may not be as simple as wanting to make some money and spend it, but planning to suppress the Xungui Group economically...... Sure enough, politics is an extremely complex science, and everyone plays a different role.

Maybe when Xu Da was alive, he was like this, between Zhu Yuanzhang and Xungui, constantly shuttling and striking a balance...... can be trusted by both sides at the same time, this alone is enough to prove that Xu Da is powerful, and he really deserves to be the first hero!

"Guys, I'm sorry to be late!"

Liu Chun gave a salute again and again, and put his posture very low.

It is important to make money, but don't get involved in the war between the emperor and the nobles, otherwise, his small body will not be able to parry.

To Liu Chun's surprise, although the noble children present were not pleasant, they were all polite, and there seemed to be panic in their eyes!

Am I that scary?

Liu Chun touched his nose, "Everyone, I am very honored that everyone can appreciate the light, so I won't say much about the scene, and go straight to the point." His Majesty authorized His Majesty to preside over the affairs of foreign trade. It was decided to select a group of businessmen with strong strength and good credit as the objects of cooperation. At the same time, it is necessary to come up with the best products of the Ming Dynasty and let Siyi understand what is the taste of the country. ”

"That's what I intended...... First of all, merchants who are interested in participating can be qualified to sell goods to the outside world by paying 10,000 yuan as a membership fee...... Of course, having a qualification does not mean that you can export. Because there is still a limit to the amount of exports. Next, all qualified businessmen can participate in the quota bidding, after buying the quota, according to the deadline, take out the goods, and after the bank inspection is qualified, you can sell it overseas, within three months, you can get the corresponding payment! ”

Liu Chun gave a general introduction to the process, and then said: "Everyone, the price of selling goods overseas is much higher than that of Daming...... However, the price at which you sell is not the same as the price at which you export overseas. Banks need to repackage their commodities to give them a deeper cultural connotation and tap into greater value......"

Liu Chun's words, maybe only Xu Zengshou can understand!

Wrap?

It is to put a few ordinary tea leaves in a broken box and sell them for gold!

You kid is the biggest profiteer!

These noble sons are not vegetarians, can they be willing to listen to Liu Chun's mercy?

Look, someone will stand up and refute it!

Xu Zengshou was ready to stand up for Liu Chun, and scanned everyone vigilantly...... He is familiar with these people, several of them are well-known thorns, such as the one surnamed Guo, who controls the dyeing workshop in Sancheng, the capital, and the one surnamed Hu, who has tens of thousands of acres of tea plantations in Anxi, will he be willing to hand over the tea to you Liu Chun to fiddle with, Dafa Li City?

Xu Zengshou's gaze stayed on these people for the longest time, and several times, Xu Zengshou felt that they were going to stand up and make trouble.

Surprisingly, they just moved their butts and then buried their heads again.

waited until Liu Chun finished speaking, and no one came forward.

"Okay, let's go back and think about it, and in three days, you can go to the bank to pay the money and become a member......" Liu Chun got up and sent everyone back.

During the whole process, he also felt calm and scary, and when he walked outside, he subconsciously looked around, and suddenly found two people standing in front of a private room on the second floor.

Liu Chun's eyes lit up, smiled and nodded at him, and then turned his head to see the guest away.

"He smiled, he smiled at me!"

Miss Lan blushed and said proudly: "Brother Yong, have you seen it, how beautiful he is smiling!" That's right...... Do you think he still knows me? Why is he smiling at me? Isn't it ......"

Miss Lan was about to continue, but found that Lan Yong's expression was twitching, as if she was about to burst.

Finally, Lan Yong couldn't help it, "Girl, Brother Liu is laughing with me!" ”

In an instant, the blue girl's face turned iron blue...... Raised his fist angrily, smashed it at Lan Yong, and said angrily: "Why are you telling the truth? ”

Before he could tell the truth, Lan Yong was about to cry, and hurriedly begged: "Don't, don't fight, don't fight!" Look, look, Brother Liu is back, he's back! Lan Yong pulled his neck and screamed......
