Ming Dynasty: The Sixth Brother of the Zhu Family Seeks Immortality

At least the inspection for going to sea privately is not so strict.

Officially, it is still forbidden to go to sea.

After Zhu Di learned that the spiritual energy was revived, he naturally coveted the overseas land.

Even more, he would not strictly implement any maritime ban policy.

The carriage of the grandson soon arrived at this seaport.

This seaport is nominally a seaport, but it is also an estuary.

It is connected to many rivers, which is very convenient for merchants to travel.

The grandson Zhu Zhanji caused an uproar as soon as he appeared. Merchants and their representatives looked at the grandson with fiery eyes.

It seemed that the person in front of them was not the grandson, but a golden official position!

Since ancient times, people who have learned civil and martial arts have been sold to the emperor's family.

The official position has always been the supreme existence in the hearts of the people.

This time, they actually heard that as long as they graduated from business school, they could become an official of the Ming Dynasty!

Who can resist this? They must join! They must send their children to business school!

This time, even if it means losing everything, we must fight for a chance to buy the salt transportation rights!

Who knows whether the court will give these humble merchants the opportunity to become officials in the future?

Zhu Zhanji saw the crowd and asked Zhu Zhankan beside him: "Sixth brother, are you sure you can really sell it for a good price? I invested a large part of my private money to get half of the dry shares!"

Of course, these half of the dry shares in his hands, plus the 30% dry shares given to the emperor and the half of the dry shares given to the prince, are basically the things of the old Zhu family.

The other 60% belongs to the money of the court, which is the result of the final compromise.

There are various reasons why the distribution of interests in this aspect is so simple.

Many people do not believe that Zhu Zhankan will make much money by selling the salt transportation rights of each region.

Merchants themselves have to pay the cost price of 30 wen per catty to the court when buying salt.

The court clearly stipulates that all salt prices in the country must be unified between 40 wen and 50 wen!

The power to adjust the price is entirely in the hands of the court, and merchants are not allowed to mark prices at will.

Now it seems that the power to adjust the price may fall into the hands of the Ministry of Commerce.

But merchants will make less money at this step!

If they spend a lot of money on the franchise, I am afraid they can't get their money back at all?

"Don't worry, brother. Even if I can't make much money from salt transportation, I plan to sell some other things in the Chamber of Commerce. In the future, I can set up a grain chamber of commerce, a glass chamber of commerce, a tile chamber of commerce, and a perfume chamber of commerce. If I lose money, I can compensate you later."

Money is earned for spending, so Zhu Zhankan naturally used all his money to run the Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, he did not put the money into the Salt Transportation Chamber of Commerce, but established the Rouge Chamber of Commerce and the Perfume Chamber of Commerce.

However, the Chamber of Commerce will not lose money no matter how bad it is.

If it really doesn't work, the worst thing is to collect membership fees from merchants.

Zhu Zhanji felt a little more at ease when he heard his sixth brother's words.

They are now more or less imperial merchants, so they will definitely not lose money.

Since Zhu Zhanji has invested some money himself, he is naturally more concerned about the salt transportation franchise.

The Salt Transport Chamber of Commerce is their first step to change the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji felt that he had a sense of mission to change history.

"You go and gather everyone and hold this franchise conference!"

After that, Zhu Zhanji took Zhu Zhankan away from this place.

They just came out to support this conference, so they naturally would not stay in the conference all the time.

They would carefully check how much income this time would have.

[The Salt Transport Auction Officially Begins! ]

There were shouts everywhere, but Zhu Zhankan was not very interested in this scene.

After coming out, he went back to prepare to train his trusted subordinates in the art of decapitation.

At the Salt Transport Franchise Auction, all the big businessmen who were well-known received similar notices.

They were collectively transported to the largest restaurant in Gangxiang nearby.

The restaurant has been contracted by the Salt Transport Chamber of Commerce in the name of the Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, it didn't cost much money.

Chapter 121 Something bad is going to happen! The Minister of Revenue came over

After all the businessmen gathered together, the auction began.

There were no civil or military nobles at the scene.

If they dared to bid, it would not be an auction of salt transport power, but a direct challenge to Zhu Di.

We are corrupt, what can you do to us?

Most of the court officials have not lived enough, so they will not take the initiative to provoke Zhu Di.

But there are still many playboys from noble families who come out to watch the fun.

As for how many of them are really playboys, I don't know.

In a blink of an eye, it was dark.

The restaurant was almost full of big merchants from all over the country.

Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Zhanji and other royal family members were also waiting in the private room.

"Xiao Baozi, take out the list of all the people participating in the auction."

Zhu Zhanji compared the list and found that almost all the big merchants with names in the Ming Dynasty had basically come to this salt transport meeting.

"Xiao Baozi, go ahead and start the salt transport meeting."

......

"Everyone, I am the auctioneer of this salt transport meeting, and I will explain the auction rules to you."

"There are a total of 1,497 counties in our Ming Dynasty. Each region includes multiple counties and is divided into 72 areas. You can choose the area to buy from the area near your home."

"The price of official salt, the salt sold to you by the court is 30 wen per catty, and your selling price is between 40 wen and 50 wen. The specific price is allocated by the court!"

"We will discuss the details after the auction of the salt transportation rights."

"As for the business department issue that everyone is most concerned about, whoever bids for the next area can send a student to the business school."

"Let's not waste time. The general map is around the hall. After you have finished observing, you can take a piece of white paper and pen from there."

"Write down the purchase rights of which place you need to buy on the paper. After determining your own price, you can send the white paper into the darkroom on the left. The highest bidder wins!"

"Once the price is sent in, it cannot be changed. Please act with caution."

"Before the end of this auction, everyone can submit the bid paper."

"By the way, as long as you can afford the money and the scale of the caravan can withstand the test of quantity, you can buy multiple salt transportation rights!"

"There will be some other things in the auction. If you find them interesting, you can auction them."

"The auction officially begins!"

Xiao Baozi spoke eloquently and left the auction table.

An old man then came on stage and took out a pair of glass bracelets.

"Everyone, let's warm up the crowd with the first auction item. This is a clear glass bracelet!"

"This bracelet was born by chance after hundreds or thousands of smeltings!"

"The whole body is clear and transparent, just like a water column!"

"........"

Although some very precious things are still being auctioned on the stage, those things are indeed rare.

But most people's attention is still focused on the salt transportation rights and business.

They hold the paper and pen in their hands, and they feel that the paper and pen are as heavy as a thousand pounds!

Because they know very well that the price written down basically determines the future status.

It may sound a bit alarmist to say this.

But that's the fact!

Doing business is such an exciting and uneasy process.

All businessmen may become rich overnight, or they may be confiscated and exterminated overnight!
