    At the Huangpu Restaurant by the Huangpu River in Songhu, a group of people were drinking tea and looking at the Huangpu River leisurely, seeming to be patiently waiting for something.

    "My lord, even if Liu Jin is now the left minister of household affairs, there is no need for us to be so fawning over him, right?"

    Next to Wei Guogong Xu Er, Hu Xian looked at the rolling Huangpu River, thought for a while and said to Xu Er.

    Wei Guogong Xu Erren is over fifty years old, but he is in very good health, with not a trace of gray hair on his hair. Hu Xianze, who is talking to him, is a middle-aged man in his forties. He used to be a royal censor in the court. Later, because of  He was dismissed by Emperor Hongzhi for falsely claiming disaster.

    ?? Wei Guogong is the top family in Nanjing and in the entire Jiangnan. The past generations of Wei Guogong are basically the garrison in Nanjing and the representative of the military generals group.

    The Hu Xian beside him is not an ordinary person. The Hu family is also one of the top big families in the entire Jiangnan. The family power is extremely huge. From the government and the opposition to the local government offices, the power of the Hu family is everywhere.

    The Hu family can be regarded as the representative family of the Jiangnan family.

    My ancestor was a businessman. He started his business and accumulated wealth. Then he began to support the family's children to take the imperial examinations, and built an extremely large network of relationships through marriage and other means.

    Since ancient times, Jiangnan has been home to many talented people and literati. In the Ming Dynasty, officials from Jiangnan accounted for half of the country, so the influence of large Jiangnan families like the Hu family was very huge.

    "No matter how high an official Liu Jin is, I won't have to curry favor with him. Even if he is the chief minister of the cabinet, it is not worthy of my taking the initiative to befriend him."

    Xu Li smiled and replied.

    He has this self-confidence. He is the Duke of Wei. After Xu Da, King of Zhongshan, he will be an iron rice bowl for generations. If the Ming Dynasty is not destroyed, his iron rice bowl will always be there and he will be with the country.

    Therefore, no matter who is an official or how big the official is, it has nothing to do with him. As long as he does not rebel, no one can shake his status.

    "Then why, Mr. Xu, did you ask us to come to Songhu to meet this Liu Jin?"

    Hearing Xu Yan's words, someone next to him asked. This man was a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a gentle and elegant manner, and handsome in appearance. His name was Zhang Yuan, the contemporary head of the Zhang family in Jiangnan.

    The Zhang family is one of the most famous families among Huizhou merchants. It is as rich as the country and has many talented people. It is a big family that can rival the Hu family.

    "Of course it's for money!"

    Xu Li smiled and said.

    "for money?"

    When the others heard this, they were slightly surprised and looked at Xu Yan, not quite understanding what he meant.

    "In addition to being the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Liu Jin is also known as the God of Wealth in the Beijing-Tianjin area. Everyone who follows Liu Jin has become rich. Even idiots like Bo Shouninghou of Jianchang, because of following Liu Jin,  You can earn tens of millions of taels of silver a year."

    "Guess how much money the British Duke, Ding Guo Duke, and Cheng Guo Duke can earn in a year?"

    Xu Li looked at them and asked.

    "To be honest, he, Xu Ergui, is the Duke of the country. If he wants to go further, he can only wait until he dies and be crowned king later, and he has to make great contributions to do so."

    Therefore, in the officialdom, these generals and noble groups generally have no ambitions, and more of them pursue wealth and money.

    Not only should you be rich, but you should also be rich. Not just ordinary wealth, but great wealth.

    Hearing Xu Yan¡¯s words, everyone couldn¡¯t help but open their eyes slightly.

    Everyone said that northerners have money, and they are more rich than those of them. Everyone still feels a bit unbelievable. Now listening to Xu Yan, they suddenly understand.

    ¡°Thinking about the new businesses, factories, workshops, etc. that everyone has invested in in the past two years, it immediately became clear why Xu Ren came to Songhu to meet Liu Jin in person.

    Xu Yan looked at everyone and immediately smiled.

    Duke Dingguo and Duke Wei are both descendants of King Xu Da of Zhongshan, so they naturally have an unusual relationship with each other. Xu Yan also regularly exchanges letters with Duke Dingguo Xu Yongning, and is very aware of the wealth that Duke Dingguo's mansion now possesses.

    In the past, Wei Guogong guarded Nanjing because of the times, and he was the garrison of Nanjing.It will become more and more excessive.

    This move by various countries in Southeast Asia has also seriously touched the interests of major commercial banks in the Ming Dynasty, especially the emerging commercial banks in the south, which are the most uncomfortable.

    They haven¡¯t earned much money yet, and haven¡¯t reaped many benefits yet, but these heavy taxes, pirates, thieves, etc. have all fallen on them.

    Therefore, these big businessmen and families in the south of the Yangtze River strongly supported the imperial court in sending troops to the Southeast Asia. Not only did they not have any objections in the court, they even strongly advocated that not only Annan should be destroyed, but Annan should also be destroyed.  Take the various countries in Nanyang to clean up.

    Let them know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is. In this case, they will not dare to impose heavy taxes on the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, these pirates, thieves, etc. in the Nanyang region will be wiped out, and their merchant ships and plantations will be safer.

    Liu Jin looked at the indignant looks of these people and thought of those officials from the DPRK and China who opposed the sea ban and the levy of commercial taxes. At this moment, the scene was too similar, only in reverse.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
