Chapter 939: Preemptive Strike

Money, he can give, grain, he can give, but the person who wants him, his ship, is impossible. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Ning Zhiwen lowered his head and thought in his heart.

Money and food are nothing to him now, if he can take this to form a good relationship with Princess Zhaohua, then it will be even if he has earned it, he is soft-handed, eats people's mouths short, and believes that he has a large amount of money and food to take out, Princess Zhaohua will not be impatient to attack herself in order to worry about the influence.

The words of a fleet and a fierce and combative sailor touched Ning Zhiwen's bottom line. This is to tell the world about his old bottom, not to mention, if all these people are sucked away, what will happen to his own sailor? Spring is just around the corner, and if you want to go out to sea before summer, how can you run without these sailors?

What's more, this time he went out to fight, as long as it was a war, there would be death, he didn't want his sailors to die in the ditches and ditches of the inland river, without these elite sailors, what would he do to fight with the Bozhou Zhou family? Once you hurt the roots, you have no way out.

The calculation in his heart has been decided, Ning Zhiwen has already made a plan, stood up, and arched his hand: "Quanzhou Ning Zhiwen, I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ā€

Zhaohua princess Min Ruoxi said this son, she felt that her mouth was dry, and she happened to sit where to drink tea, today's banquet is to gather wool, she believes that those who sit here are smart people, of course, there are also smart people who are too smart. But whether she is smart or too clever, she always has no problem raising money and food, and the problem is that she wants more.

"Quanzhou Ning's ah!" She raised her head and glanced at Ning Zhiwen, her face full of smiles: "The richest man in Quanzhou, this palace has already heard of it." I don't know what Ning Gong taught me? ā€

Ning Zhiwen was glanced at by Princess Zhaohua, trembled slightly in his heart, bowed down and said: "As a Chu people, I should share my worries for the country, and the grass people, I am willing to contribute 500,000 taels of wages and 100,000 stones of grain to help Cheng Gong resist the enemy." ā€

It's really a big deal, 500,000 taels of silver, 100,000 stone of grain, even Min Ruoxi, it's a slight distraction. But in an instant, he understood that this was the first strike to seal his mouth! If someone has taken out such a large sum of money and food, if you are embarrassed to open your mouth to him and ask for something else, won't you want everyone in the world to laugh at you for being insatiable? This Ning Zhiwen is indeed a smart one.

It's a pity that he touched himself. Min Ruoxi sneered in her heart, if you send it to the door, I will naturally accept it first, as for what I want, after a while, I am not afraid that you will not send it obediently.

"Ning Gong is righteous, the palace has thanked the royal brother in advance, and when the royal brother returns, there will definitely be another reward, no, no, no, a righteous person like Ning Gong must be rewarded as soon as possible, and the public will be a model in the world. Duke Ning, the palace will go to Beijing tomorrow, and when the time comes, please ask the queen mother and her old man to make a decree, and we have no right to give Duke Ning an official position or anything, but a title, that is certain. ā€

"For the country and the people, it is what my generation should do, and I dare not ask for rewards!" Ning Zhiwen bowed down and thanked him again.

Ning Zhiwen is the first assistant in Quanzhou, Quanzhou is hidden, he doesn't open his mouth, even if the other rich businessmen in the house have the heart, they don't dare to open this mouth, in case Ning Zhiwen is unwilling to pay, he goes out first, wouldn't it be to roast his old man's house on the fire, and he will definitely clean himself up when he turns back. But now, Ning Zhiwen took the lead, and as soon as he made a move, he was very generous, 500,000 taels of silver, 100,000 quintals of grain, just this is enough to match the entire net worth of a rich businessman. The rest didn't dare to compare with him, but they always had to vomit blood.

Ning Zhiwen jumped out, but Hu Yicai was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, he knew Min Ruoxi's plan, what Min Ruoxi wanted was some other things from the Ning family, Ning Zhiwen did this, of course, he was avoiding the important and trivial, but looking at Min Ruoxi's smiling face, he was really a little strange in his heart.

He stood up and arched his hand: "Your Highness, although Weichen is a feudal party, he is not as rich as Ning Gong, so he can only pay 10,000 taels of silver to pay for the army." ā€

For the officials under her rule, Princess Zhaohua was not so polite, she just smiled and nodded, in fact, she knew in her heart, Hu Yicai has no money, that may not be, but if Hu Yicai can really come up with a large sum of silver, then he will be the end of the county guard, a county guard, Dai Lu is not Erer, where does the huge money come from? Even if you don't talk about it now, the imperial court will inevitably settle accounts after the autumn. Hu Yicai naturally wouldn't be so stupid.

Hu Yicai, who now has the highest position among officials, and Ning Zhiwen, the richest businessman, have already said the amount of their donations, one is 10,000 taels, one is 500,000 taels and 100,000 stone grain, this is the benchmark, and the rest is reduced according to their actual situation.

Someone had already prepared paper and ink, and wrote down what Hu Yicai and Ning Zhiwen said, and they would naturally rely on this to ask for accounts in the future. Looking at the officials and businessmen who stood up one after another, Princess Zhaohua drank tea with satisfaction, and suddenly thought in her heart, now the life of the Ming Dynasty is also very sad, there is no money in the treasury, and she is so poor that she will return to the country, will she also come forward to gather those who have money to eat and drink, and by the way, she will also come to raise donations? As far as Min Ruoxi knows, the rich people of Daming are not necessarily worse than these people in Dachu, well, but compared to Ning Zhiwen, it seems that they are still quite inferior.

Ning Zhiwen must be a pirate, in Baoqing Port, Min Ruoxi saw her husband go out to work as a pirate, but he brought back more than five million taels of silver. Of course, like her husband, who fished in the dry water and went directly to dig up the pirate's lair, it can no longer be done, it is a hammer deal. However, after seeing Ning Zhiwen's wealth, Min Ruoxi became more and more determined to support her husband's maritime trade policy.

Who called Da Ming poor! The treasury is poor, and the treasury is also poor, because once the treasury runs out of money, the husband will take the money from the treasury to subsidize it, and the little money he has raised with great difficulty will immediately bubble up. made a big family tomorrow, and life was extremely difficult.

Min Ruoxi grew up with golden branches and jade leaves, and she didn't have anything to suffer, but it was not difficult to suffer the doll! Min Ruoxi now feels that her two children have really suffered too much grievances compared to when she was a child.

After I went back, I asked my husband for the maritime trade department to take care of it. Min Ruoxi had a whim, as long as this maritime trade division was in his hands, the inner treasury would inevitably be abundant.

In the dead of night, it was dark and moonless. For a small village in the west of Quanzhou City, it was just an ordinary night. Of course, this is only in the eyes of outsiders, and now this little Zhuangzi is only afraid that it is more guarded than the Quanzhou Mansion. The outermost part was the manpower sent by Ning Zefeng, the eldest prince of the Ning family, and when he went inside, it was the ghost who accepted the escort work, compared to those pirates outside who were arrogant, these people were undoubtedly professional guys. It looks like a peaceful and quiet small manor, but it is actually full of murderous intentions.

And Xiang Lian was sitting around the fireplace with Ning Zefeng, the eldest son of the Ning family.

"The eldest prince, what is the general trend of the world, people like Ning Dagongzi must know it, the emperor of the Chu State is already precarious, as long as my Great Qi army launches an attack, the Chu army will become powder, and the emperor of the Chu State and the military commander will all become prisoners of the Great Qi." Xiang Lian looked at Ning Zefeng confidently. "The Ning family, what they are doing secretly, we all know it, and I don't hide it from the eldest prince of Ning, the Bozhou Zhou family, who has already served Lord Cao."

Ning Zefeng's heart shook slightly, and he heard the meaning of Xiang Lian's words very clearly. Their great enemy at sea, the Bozhou Zhou clan has already found a big backer, and the backer in Xiang Lian's mouth is Cao Hui, the instigator of the ghost.

At sea, the Zhou family has always wanted to destroy the Ning clan and dominate this sea route, in the same way, why doesn't the Ning clan think like this? The problem is that the two forces are half a pound and eight taels, and they belong to two countries, so naturally no one can help anyone. But right now, the situation is different, if the State of Qi really destroys the State of Chu, then everyone will worship the same emperor, under the same roof, with a backer and without a backer, it is two different things.

To put it bluntly, what the Ning family is doing must have a big backer above the court, otherwise such a thing that obviously violates the policy of the court will be stabbed under the broad sun, and it will immediately end up being ruined, which Ning Zefeng naturally knows.

But now that he is taking refuge in Qi State, Ning Zefeng is completely unsure of paying attention.

Will the state of Chu definitely die? It seems that the state of Chu is in danger, but who can say for sure about this military event? Father Ning Zhiwen was reluctant to see Xiang Lian in person because he couldn't take this matter well. Because now that the Ming State has obviously intervened in this matter, in case the Chu State is exhausted and is not destroyed by the Qi State, the Ning Clan, who has served the Qi State, will be finished soon.

Even a reckless Chu State is not something that the Ning clan can contend with.

"Lord Xiang, you also want to solve my Ning's troubles, and now you want my Ning's to show the carriage and horses, it is impossible. But if you do something secretly, then there is no problem at all, even if the old man has different opinions, Ning can make his own decisions, don't need to alarm the old man. "Ning Zefeng is a good name.

Xiang Lian nodded: "As long as Grand Prince Ning has this meaning, then everything will be easy." Lord Cao had already expected that after this defeat, the Chu people would inevitably build a second line of defense in Jinghu, and the geographical conditions of Jinghu were well known to the prince of Ning, so when our army began to attack Jinghu, a large number of ships and sailors were needed. ā€

Ning Zefeng's pupils shrank, "Lord Xiang is saying that these ships and manpower are from my Ning clan?" ā€

"If the Ning clan is in difficulty, you can just prepare some ships, people, we can go out by ourselves." Xiang Lian smiled.

People, they come out and implement it, naturally they use the Zhou family to come out, how could Ning Zefeng agree to such a condition, isn't it a wedge for the Zhou family to drive in on his side.

"Ning has to think about this matter." He looked at Xiang Lian and said.

"It's all right, but I hope that the eldest prince can be faster. It's much better to send charcoal in the snow than to put the icing on the cake. Xiang Lian said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if the Ning clan doesn't want to, at most, we just need to put in a little more effort, even if it is to build another shipyard in Jinghu, it's not a big deal." ā€

Ning Zefeng's heart was shocked.
