Xi Benzhen nodded and smiled, "It turns out that fish and clams are fighting each other, and the fisherman is profitable... The prince is very smart!"

Huang Zongxi thought, "But in this way, the control of the Chamber of Commerce will fall into the hands of the court... The prince should know that the court holds the most shares among the three parties. Once the court completely controls the Chamber of Commerce, it will probably be even more unfavorable to the prince in the future!"

Huang Zongxi did not say clearly what happened in the future, but no matter who it was, he knew it very well.

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "No matter who controls the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce is in an isolated vassal state after all!"

Yes, this matter seems complicated, but the truth is actually simple.

The chamber of commerce is just a consortium, and its existence needs to be attached to the power. As long as it holds its lifeline, it is not afraid of it jumping out of the box.

As long as you don’t jump out of the box, Wu Zhengyoude is a rule-based way to control it, such as... adjusting commercial tax.

"But if the court moved north...what would the major shareholders of the joint meeting follow the north?" Huang Zongxi asked the key point of this matter, "...After all, the court has a legitimate righteousness?"

Wu Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Businessmen are seeking profits. Now that countless workshops in Jiangnan are established, who will rush to the north without foundation to start again... Well, even if the situation you mentioned really occurs... Since I can create a chamber of commerce, I can create a second one... It's just that the North and South chambers of commerce are fighting each other again... Do you think that the South chamber of commerce cannot compete with the North?"

Huang Zongxi suddenly understood a truth: Don’t reason with those in power. There is no reason to speak of, because those in power have the power to explain all the rules and change them!

"The prince is wise!"

King Wu smiled slightly, "Sell as much as you can in your hands, and the income is just right to supplement military expenditure. You know, this war will probably be delayed for a while..."

Huang Zongxi and Xi Benzhen also learned that Zhang Mingzhen had temporarily failed to attack Dongfan Island and Zheng's army broke through Fuzhou, so they naturally understood the meaning of King Wu's words.

Wu Zheng continued, "The court will not bother you anymore. You just need to sell shares to those who hide in the gutters and dare not show up publicly... I only have one requirement, that is, try to make the price as high as possible!"

Although Huang Zongxi and Xi Benzhen did not understand why King Wu was so sure that he could sell his shares to the court at a high price, for them, selling shares to foreigners was a slaughter.

Although the foreigners are hiding in the dark, it is not difficult for Huang Zongxi and Xi Benzhen to find them for many years.

The only difficulty is what the King of Wu said...the price!

"As for the restructuring of the joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, you don't have to stop or make things difficult for you... Just follow the rules!"

"Yes... I'll do it now!"

Watching the two leave, Wu Zheng restrained his smile on his face.

In fact, Wu Zheng understood that this matter was not as easy as he said. How could a single sentence solve it by building another chamber of commerce?

There are only a few huge merchants in Jiangnan, and their wealth is also fixed.

If the Chamber of Commerce really moved north with the court, then the strength of Jiangnan and the lives of the people would instantly retreat eight years ago, or even be less than that!

But Wu Zheng has no energy to support such a mess at the moment. His energy can only focus on the upcoming joint fleet and Zheng Sen. Only by completely solving these two things can he talk about the future.

In Wu Zheng's view, the battle of the Chamber of Commerce can be slow. After all, no matter who the control of the Chamber of Commerce falls into, it is still in China.

And those who control the Chamber of Commerce will never fish out of their waters. After all, those who board the boat do not want the ship to sink.

....

“Get out of here!”

Chen Zhiyuan pointed his spear at Qian Qiaogong.

This action caused countless cavalrymen on both sides to raise their guns and aim at the other party.

Qian Qiaogong looked calm, "You can't get through!"

Chen Zhiyuan was angry, and he even poked Qian Qiaogong's chest with the barrel, "Get out of the way... do you know, even if I shoot you to death at this moment, I will be innocent... because I returned to Beijing under the order!"

"Then you can try it." Qian Qiaogong's expression was still calm, "Ten hundred thousand wind and thunder cavalry... If you kill me, it would be equivalent to telling me that the soldiers behind me, you, the Marquis of Shaoxing, have you rebelled... After a fierce battle, how many of your 20,000 spear cavalry can you still have?"

Chen Zhiyuan was so angry that his hands were trembling. During this confrontation, he knew how many times he really wanted to shoot!

But rationally told him that Qian Qiaogong was not wrong.

Who doesn’t know who was the former comrade?

Even if there are thousands of Fenglei Cavalry more than the Fenglei Cavalry, after this melee, I am afraid that both sides will suffer losses. How much will be left in the end is probably God knows!

"Let's discuss it." Chen Zhiyuan slowly put away his gun, "It's not my intention to go south, it's His Majesty's intention... You are also an official in the court, so you can't resist the order, right?"

"Yes...!" Qian Qiaogong sighed slowly, "In less than half a year... his brothers and sisters became the enemy who was about to shoot today!"

Chen Zhiyuan frowned and shouted: "It's not me who wants to kill you... it's you who blocked my way!"

"This is familiar... You said this to the King of Wu back then, right?" Qian Qiaogong said lightly.

"Don't mention him to me!" Chen Zhiyuan said sternly, "If he hadn't been indecisive, how could this scene be like today... You get out of here and don't force me!"

"You really can't get over it!" Qian Qiaogong said seriously, "You should know why the Fenglei Rider appeared here... The prince could let me be here, which means that he had expected you to come long ago... Since the prince expected you to come, why didn't he arrange to deploy something else?"

Chen Zhiyuan looked around and knew that it was impossible for another ambush to appear suddenly.

This is just a subconscious and fear of Wu Zheng.

Chen Zhiyuan was really embarrassed. He had to go south. He had already taken over Shuntian Prefecture. At this time, the emperor summoned him back to the capital, so the emperor must have to summon him back to the capital.

But the problem is, he really can't get through!

Just as Qian Qiaogong said, if you want to pass, you must start a war.

It’s not that Chen Zhiyuan dared not start a war, but that Chen Zhiyuan couldn’t make up this decision.

The 20,000 spear cavalry were soldiers who had followed him for six or seven years. If most of them were lost here, then there would be no more force like the Qing court that could support him and tolerate him to form another team.

The Shaoxing Marquis who have no strength is not the Shaoxing Marquis he wants.

Chen Zhiyuan's expression was very rich, and he lost his composure.

Logically speaking, Chen Zhiyuan has been dealing with Dorgon for many years and has long since been unable to expose such a complex mentality.

But he had no concealment at all at this time, because concealment was useless.

In front of him was Qian Qiaogong, who had been sleeping with him for more than two years. It can be said that he was afraid that there was a mole on his butt, both sides knew clearly.

It can even be said that from a certain perspective, Qian Qiaogong knows Chen Zhiyuan better than Wu Zheng.

Any strategy or procrastination will be invalid at this moment.

I can only present the facts and explain the truth.
