Chapter 1831 Fulfilling the Promise (Thanks to the Leader of 'Drunken Li Lantern' For the Reward!)

The gate of the Jinling Household Department was crowded, and the first thing a continuous stream of businessmen rushed to Jinling was to go to the Household Department, and all the grooming and eating were left aside.

So Qu Sheng was also frightened, and hurriedly asked the Ministry of War for help, and then received those businessmen one by one.

In fact, the condition for being included in this supplier list is mainly based on strength, followed by reputation.

The widely rumored profiteer was naturally useless, so more than ten people left Jinling City that day cursing.

Fang Xing didn't show up because he had guests.

Xu Qing brought a group of businessmen to seek an interview, which was obviously coming through the back door.

Fang Xing looked at these merchants with a cup of herbal tea, looked at those slightly obsequious smiles, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Everyone looked at Xu Qing, and Xu Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet and say what he wanted: "Uncle, I just want to see if I can supply the fleet, guarantee the lowest price, and ensure that those are good products. If there is any deviation , You can copy the house.”

Those businessmen immediately echoed: "Uncle, don't worry, we won't embarrass you, we will make Eunuch Zheng satisfied."

"That's right, if there is a mistake, it's okay to copy the family and exterminate the family!"

Fang Xing looked at these businessmen, and said with cold eyes: "Rules, what are rules? Things that are determined to be followed are called rules!"

Xu Qing has long known that this matter is unreliable, but as the leader, he must come and go, even if he is rejected, he has to stand up.

When they left the mansion, the businessmen were muttering about Fang Xing crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. Xu Qing said, "Xing and Bo are sitting here, if they open the door for selfishness, how can those businessmen suppress them if they make a fuss?"

As he spoke, he glanced at these businessmen and said, "Are we still afraid of those people?"

"Who is afraid of them! Let's hold together, there is nothing we can't do!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go, let's go to the household department, and report your name quickly!"

Xu Qing and the others were about to go to the household department. At this time, many businessmen came ahead, and their target was Fang Xing's residence.

Xu Qing was a little curious, but a businessman next to him turned his head and said disdainfully, "Uncle will definitely not even let them in."

"Hey hey! Come in,

They actually went in! "

Even Xu Qing had to be shocked this time.

They were able to see Fang Xing because of Xu Qing's face and past cooperation.

But how could this group of guys who don't look like wealthy businessmen get in?

Xu Qing didn't think that Fang Xing would suddenly show kindness. He was very aware of Fang Xing's guard against wealthy businessmen, no, he even felt a little disgusted.

But why can these people go in?

With this question in mind, Xu Qing and his party went to the household department, while the group of people cautiously entered the mansion.

Zhu Zhanji was not there, Fang Xing lived in a small courtyard by himself, and the rest of the place was lived by people from Black Thorn. And Wu Yue's troops were stationed in another place.

These people went all the way to the outside of Fang Xing's small courtyard, and the courtyard door opened immediately, and it was Fang Xing standing inside the door.

"I've seen Uncle!"

When these people saw that it was Fang Xing who opened the door to greet him, they hurriedly saluted in panic.

Fang Xing said with a pleasant smile: "Everyone has worked hard, please come in."

"Master, Master Qu is here."

Fang Wu came from the outside and reported that Qu Sheng was behind him.

Fang Xing cupped his hands and said, "Master Qu, please come in."

Qu Sheng clasped his hands and said: "Uncle Xing, there are quite a few people watching the excitement outside the household department, most of them are literati, no one sits in the town, I am afraid that they will make trouble."

Fang Xing nodded and said: "Thank you Master Qu, for reciprocating, Ben Bo will go there later."

After the group went in, Fang Xing and Qu Sheng took the first seats. There were too many businessmen and there was no room for them.

"This is Benber's lack of consideration, please everyone squeeze."

So the room was full of people, and the weather was hot, and when everyone sweated, the smell in the air was not good.

Fang Xing smiled and said, "I invited everyone here today, mainly to fulfill that promise."

Li Du is running his own cloth shop in Japan today, but he was notified to come here to discuss matters. He has been on tenterhooks all this way, worried that he will be apportioned.

Don't doubt, the government everywhere has this practice.

When they need some supplies and the budget is not enough, they will habitually go to merchants to apportion the solution. This kind of thing developed to a peak in the middle and late stages, and a change of household registration specifically for merchants was derived.

This change means that where a businessman does business, as long as there is a shop, he will get a thing similar to a temporary account.

And the government relies on this temporary account to apportion them.

This was what Li Du was worried about before he came.

But after hearing the promise, Li Du's heart beat violently.

His face gradually turned red, and his cheeks filled with joy. And most of those businessmen are like this.

Fang Xing saw these joyful expressions, he nodded and said: "The ship that you guys funded to build at the beginning has already been built, and it has also been tested. It is surprisingly good! So today, Uncle Ben is here to fulfill his promise, yes, it is the fleet The number of merchants who go overseas to buy supplies."

In an instant, the sound of chair legs rubbing against the ground sounded in the room, which was harsh.

Shortness of breath, disbelief, ecstasy...

The reactions of these merchants fell into Qu Sheng's eyes, and he held back his disdain and asked, "Xing Hebo, does Eunuch Zheng know about this?"

I asked Zheng He this question, but he was asking Fang Xing, does Your Majesty know that you operate like this?

Fang Xing nodded, Qu Sheng no longer questioned.

"Most of your businesses are not big, but you are loyal to His Majesty. This is worthy of praise and affirmation."

Hearing this, Qu Sheng couldn't help nodding secretly, feeling that although Fang Xing was the emperor's 'favored minister', he knew how to measure and didn't try to win people's hearts for him.

"Going to sea is a major event appointed by His Majesty, but some people have doubts about it, some people are waiting to see, and some people are against..."

Fang Xing's expression gradually became indifferent, and he said: "These are all the same, but you are the only ones who supported the fleet when the opposition from the outside world was the strongest. This is to support His Majesty."

"The loyal ones will naturally be rewarded. Benbo came to Jinling on behalf of His Majesty this time, just for the fleet and to reward you and others."

Li Du was the first to stand up, bowed and said, "Thank you uncle, long live Your Majesty!"

"Thank you uncle, long live Your Majesty!"

"Thank you uncle, long live Your Majesty!"

The merchants stood up and saluted one after another, Fang Xing pressed his hands and said, "Benbo has already talked about this with Eunuch Zheng, and he also strongly supports it. As long as the goods you are waiting for are needed by the fleet, as long as they meet the requirements, The fleet will purchase your cargo first, understand? I hope you will remain faithful."

The merchants got up and lowered their heads, Fang Xing also got up, and he said with piercing eyes, "Da Ming is very big and has many people, but he never has too much loyalty, so do it well."

"yes."

The merchants were happy, but Qu Sheng was smiling, he knew that Fang Xing would not be so kind to the merchants.

Sure enough, Fang Xing finally said: "Ben Bo wants to remind you in the end, no, it is to warn you. I always think that rich merchants have no country. You are not rich merchants now, but I hope your business will grow bigger... But, you Remember your identities, remember your loyalty today, and don’t lose it, whoever loses their loyalty... Those wealthy merchants who smuggled outside the Great Wall back then are the first ones!"

These merchants all expressed panic, Fang Xing nodded and said: "Master Qu is here, you report your wealth and the goods you deal in later, I still have something to do, so excuse me."

Qu Sheng shook his head slightly, today he was invited by Fang Xing to accompany him, the purpose was to create an atmosphere of buying a horse bone with a lot of money, so he could only smile and record for these merchants himself.

Fang woke up out of the yard and ordered: "Call Wu Yue's department to gather, and follow Uncle Ben to the household department."

Xiaodao ran out, and Laoqi Xin asked, "Master, do you want to do it?"

Fang Xing tidied up his clothes and said, "Those are just unwilling. Letting the merchants participate will break the common hatred between them. Who will be willing?"

The sudden release of restrictions on merchants entering the fleet suppliers broke the psychological defense line of many people in the south.

Although the status of these businessmen is low, they have already built a network of relationships in the south. Once they form a joint force, their power cannot be underestimated.

This is differentiation!
