Chapter Eight hundred and fifty-six Buy a scorpion and ask for a pearl!

"Old Mo, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is not under this king's jurisdiction. I have no intention of interfering in the operation of the Chamber of Commerce. You can do this."

Listen, this is the virtue that has been the leader for a long time.

In fact, as long as Wu Zheng does not object to this matter, it will be possible.

As for the chamber of commerce, making profits is the top priority. As long as the influx of capital does not harm the interests of the original shareholders, it is basically a matter of no one to refuse. People have good or bad, good or bad, and silver is always silver.

Mo Zhinian could naturally hear what Wu Zheng meant. The General's Mansion promoted and guided the people, that was to be irreconcilable with the Qing court in the north, and everyone could punish those traitors and lackeys.

This is a shady blame. Wu Zheng doesn't want to stick to his hands, so he can only do it.

Mo Zhinian was completely dissatisfied with it. As the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and the director of the Finance Department directly under the General's Office, Mo Zhinian was indeed frightened by the dilemma in front of financial affairs.

No matter how much unexpected money is, it cannot be turned into a real business and people's livelihood capabilities in the short term. Instead, huge currency will pour out and will destroy our own economy.

Wu Zheng got unexpected money several times, Mo Nian could only inject it into places like the port shipbuilding workshop and military workshop, of course, including payment for goods to Wei Kuangguo. Only in this way can we minimize the impact on the market.

Mo Zhinian thought, and said, "You two want to invest in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. I am naturally welcomed you, but you have the stock of yours."

Fan Yongdou hurriedly said: "We can exchange money through local banks within half a year after the fundraising."

Mo Zhinian shook his head and said, "You two misunderstood. I'm saying that such a huge amount of gold and silver flow will inevitably arouse the alertness of the Qing court. This is not good for both of you and me."

Fan Yongdou could understand and asked, "Where is the opinion of Lord Mo?"

Mo Jienian said: "Maybe it can be solved by trade and use goods to offset the stock money. The coal, ore, northern wood, fur, ginseng, etc. mentioned just now can all be paid into stock money. What do you think?"

Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku replied: "Mr. Mo's plan is feasible."

Wu Zheng finally spoke, "I am tired."

Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku smiled knowingly, and then bowed and said, "Since the prince is exhausted, the foreign ministers will not disturb you."

He bowed to Mo Zhinian again and said, "Why don't you ask Lord Mo to drink together at night and discuss it?"

Mo Zhinian glanced at Wu Zheng, and saw that Wu Zheng did not object, so he replied: "Then let's follow the two of you."

After Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku withdrew, Mo Zhengnian said: "Your Majesty, if you are not afraid of what these two people mean by taking such a huge amount of money to invest in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce?"

Wu Zhengqing sneered: "No matter how much money you have, you can't buy Ansheng. Do you really think that these eight of them are not afraid of it? Just take money to eliminate disasters. Of course, they will not just invest such huge investments because of this. They want not only Ansheng, but also to earn more money, and occupy a place and equal voice in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. The scale of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and the strength of this king in Jiangnan, they want to get all kinds of shortages and prohibited materials in Jiangnan, so they cannot avoid the control of this king. Only by investing in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce can the huge amount of money they invested can they truly make money, rather than be buried in the soil and get moldy."

Mo Zhinian nodded and responded: "What the prince said is very much, but how should I explain to the shareholders and people of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce? After all, they should be the ones who will be eliminated quickly in our court."

"This is Mr. Mo's business, what does it have to do with me?" Wu Zheng said squintly.

Mo Zhinian smiled bitterly and said, "I really have no choice. Is the prince really willing to let me be pointed at the back of the people and scolded me as a traitor?"

Wu Zheng's face gradually became solemn, "Old Mo really thinks that I want you to take the blame? I am the prince. If this matter is to be put on my head, I am afraid that the people in the six palaces will disperse."

Mo Zheng became solemnly. Indeed, if Wu Zheng, as the supreme leader of the six palaces, secretly started a business with the traitor who was designated as an unforgivable traitor, if this matter was spread, no matter how much it was explained, it would only become darker and darker.

But the problem is that this huge amount of money is a life-saving money for the Finance Department. Of course, it is not a matter of money, but a matter of raw materials.

The money, which was obtained from Wang Deren these days, was confiscated by Xiushui County, and the Qing court immediately paid a ransom, which was enough to allow the General's Mansion to survive this New Year's Eve.

But the problem is the raw materials. With the increasing output and scale of military workshops and shipbuilding workshops, the materials needed for them are increasing, and they will not open up this north-south road. Once the Qing court blocked them, Wu Zheng would have nowhere to buy them even if he had money.

No matter how advanced the technology is, without raw materials, it is hard to cook without rice.

Mo Zhennian said in a deep voice: "I am nearly 70 years old and I don't have much trouble when I am alive. I will take this responsibility with all my strength. The prince doesn't have to worry about it. I just hope that I will grow old in the future and the prince can protect the descendants of the Mo family from being implicated."

Looking at Mo Zhinian, this old man was really moved, and Wu Zheng was a little moved.

Then he stood up and supported Mo Zhinian's arm and said, "No matter what, this matter is a matter of being criticized. If you don't do this, you will miss the opportunity to grow. As long as you and I are open-minded, why fear the mouths of the people in the world?"

Mo Zhengan nodded vigorously and said, "If I can really exchange my life for the prince's success in the Northern Expedition."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not that serious, I've thought of a solution for you."

Mo Zhennian was stunned, and then Huanyan said, "I would like to ask the prince for advice."

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "Old Mo's face has become so fast. I was so moved by Mr. Mo's loyalty and righteousness that I wanted to cry. With just one sentence, Mr. Mo changed his face."

Mo Zhinian didn't have any embarrassment, and laughed with a smile: "I know that the prince will not see me falling into the abyss."

Wu Zheng didn't obsessed with it, let go of his arms and said, "The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is just a business alliance and has nothing to do with me. Its behavior is just a business behavior, and it is common for business, expansion, and mergers."

Mo Guaninian nodded, "Yes."

Wu Zheng continued: "Whether it is the Mo family or the Chamber of Commerce, there are nearly 300 merchants, and there are many shops and industries in Jiangbei. It is impossible for the people to point them as traitors and call them colluding with enemies, right?"

Don't be obsessed with thinking.

"Arranging businessmen to acquire the stores of these eight profiteers in Jiangbei and merge at normal market prices is obviously a business act, right?"

"yes."

"And these shops that belonged to the eight major profiteers have stocked up a large amount of goods, such as coal, ore, wood, fur, etc., right?"

Mo Zhinian suddenly realized, "Will you buy a box and get a bead? No, it should be buying a box and get a bead!"
