    "If you save it for thirty years, this old man's head must be broken."

    In the lounge behind the bank, Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin witnessed the birth of the first deposit. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but shook his head when he saw that Wang Shirui really saved it for thirty years.

    "Actually, he doesn't know this, but he just has no choice. His son really doesn't live up to expectations and doesn't exist in the bank. The money will definitely be lost."

    Liu Jin smiled and said.

    "He is really rich, with three hundred thousand taels of silver, just a small businessman. There are still many such businessmen in the entire Ming Dynasty, and the famous Huizhou merchants have even more money."

    Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then began to sigh, there are so many rich people in Ming Dynasty.

    I have learned a lot today. A small businessman is actually worth three hundred thousand taels of silver. And this is just silver. He must also have a lot of land, real estate, etc., which are also silver. After all,  Mr. Wang's net worth is truly extraordinary.

    This also made Zhu Houzhao know how pitiful his father was in the past. It took him ten years of frugality to save a million taels of money. There are countless people in the entire Ming Dynasty who are richer than Emperor Hongzhi.  The key is that Emperor Hongzhi was stared at every day by ministers throughout the dynasty, shouting that he should be diligent and thrifty.

    Emperor Hongzhi also realized this, so he also supported Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin in doing business, and now he is also involved.

    You must know that Emperor Hongzhi can receive many memorials every day, saying that Emperor Hongzhi and His Royal Highness are competing for profits with the people, and that the king is engaged in businessmanship, which is unbecoming and so on.

    For these ministers, Emperor Hongzhi was getting more and more out of their control and farther and farther away from the holy king in their minds. This made countless people feel sad and wished they could die to remonstrate with Emperor Hongzhi.

    "But Emperor Hongzhi is not the Emperor Hongzhi in history. He now has factory guards as his eyes and ears. He can clearly check all the civil and military ministers in the dynasty, see the faces of countless people clearly, and ignore them at all.

    Some ministers appear to be upright and upright on the surface, but secretly they are living a luxurious life and are corrupt.

    There are also some ministers who are stupid, brainless, and ignorant. They only have the so-called sage advocated by Confucianism in their heads. They are like extremely stubborn cows and insist on pulling Emperor Hongzhi back.

    ¡°There are still many rich people in our Ming Dynasty, but we don¡¯t know how much money there is in the world.¡±

    Liu Jin smiled and said, the really rich people are the salt merchants and Anhui merchants in the Jiangnan area. Each of them can be as rich as the enemy. This is definitely not a joke.

    Soon, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao left the bank and continued to wander around the capital.

    ¡­¡­

    Nanjing, the nominal capital of the Ming Dynasty, is where Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang made his fortune.

    Because of its special status, the city of Nanjing has always been the economic center of the Ming Dynasty. Because it is located in the Jiangnan region, it has gathered wealthy businessmen from all over the world, making the entire city of Nanjing extremely prosperous and lively.

    The land south of the Yangtze River has been a famous place of romance since ancient times, and Yangzhou¡¯s thin horses are even more famous throughout the world.

    As the center of the Jiangnan region, Nanjing City has a long history and tradition in this regard. It plays all kinds of tricks, such as oiran competitions and brothels, they are just the most ordinary ones. The really rich and powerful people  What I prefer is to go on the flower boat.

    A flower boat here is like a gold-selling cave. It is very common to spend thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver in one night. Some high-level flower boats can cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one night.  There have been.

    At this time, there is one of the most famous flower boats in Nanjing - the Yanyu Jiangnan. This flower boat is very large and was remodeled from a lucky boat. It has always been the leader in the flower boat industry in Nanjing.  If you want to have a cup of tea or listen to a piece of music on it, you will need thousands of taels of silver.

    Today, the Yanyu Jiangnan was chartered by a big businessman. The entire ship was sailing slowly on the Yangtze River. A group of businessmen gathered together on the ship, discussing something with each other.

    "Everyone, I called you here today because there is a major matter to discuss that affects our financial fortunes."

    Sitting on the main seat is a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance. He is very elegant and looks more like a Confucian scholar than a businessman.

    His name is Cheng Boan, he is the largest salt merchant in the Jiangnan region and a representative figure of Huizhou merchants. The Cheng family behind him is the leader among the top ten families of Huizhou merchants.

    Hearing from Cheng BoanLooking at his own eyes, he immediately understood why Cheng Boan was so nervous.

    These salt merchants all have their own territories. Cheng Boan's territory is mainly targeted at several northern provinces, so he was the first to be affected by the Changlu Saltworks. Sales plummeted last month, which made him confused. He asked someone to look carefully.  After thorough investigation, we understood the situation.

    "They can only sell such high-quality salt for less than fifty coins?"

    Zhu Benduan asked in disbelief. They are all in the salt business. They know very well that this kind of salt is definitely the best salt. If it were in their hands, they would sell it for at least several hundred yuan per catty.

    "How is it possible? Only Shanxi's pool salt and Sichuan's well salt can compare with such high-quality salt. However, the salt production in both places is very small. How could it impact our salt?"

    Feng Xiang read it carefully, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, such good salt is very expensive, and the output is small. Only rich people can afford it, and it will not have an impact on their sea salt.  of.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
