Rivers and lakes rich man

Chapter 289
Ma Shansong knew that there was a rumor in the commander's yamen that Fang Jing had some relationship with Princess Yongxin, and it was said that Princess Yongxin had stepped forward for his two previous promotions.

Otherwise, how could Fang Jing be promoted from a hundred households to a thousand households in Mingzhou Prefecture so quickly.

But after Fang Jing came to Luoyang, he didn't seem to have visited the princess.

It makes people a little puzzled.

I think everyone's speculation is wrong.

Fang Jing may have nothing to do with the princess, or their relationship is not so close, his relationship is Han Sen.

Now that the news is confirmed, and I have met him, it is considered a meritorious service to bring the news back.

Yongxin County Lord's Mansion.

Because Zhu Hengding, king of Chu, was highly valued by the emperor, the emperor also loved his children very much.

Zhu Bixuan was rewarded alone with a big house as the princess's mansion, this kind of treatment is rare.

"I believe you know my identity." Zhu Bixuan chuckled when Fang Jing came in, motioning him to sit down and talk.

Fang Jing didn't hesitate to sit down and said: "I can't do without the support of the Princess for my promotion so quickly. I am very grateful."

"You don't have to be grateful, I just think you've done some things and are more reliable than others. Besides, I have nothing to do with the deputy envoy and the envoy." Zhu Bixuan said, "I'm looking for you this time. Come here, do you know why?"

Fang Jing shook his head.

"Master Fang, you already guessed it, right?" Zhu Bixuan said with a sweet smile, "Although it is only the second time you and I have met, there is no need to be so alien."

"Is it about being promoted to the township envoy?" Fang Jing couldn't help asking after the other party said so.

"This matter is a bit sudden." Zhu Bixuan said, "Although I didn't propose it, to be honest, I still agree with you to take charge of this matter."

Zhu Bixuan saw that Fang Jing's expression was as usual and he didn't make a sound, so she couldn't help but smiled and said, "Master Fang doesn't seem to be worried about this matter? Are you confident?"

"Master Yao came to me yesterday and mentioned this matter. I think this matter is already a certainty. What's the use of worrying now?" Fang Jing said with a wry smile.

"With the power of the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce, it should be possible to collect 1000 million taels, right?" Zhu Bixuan asked.

"To be honest with the princess, it is indeed possible." Fang Jing nodded.

"After I found out about this incident, I was also somewhat dissatisfied with the court's actions." Zhu Bixuan said, "How can I let you contribute this money? Yesterday I asked the emperor's uncle to ask for a favor for you."

Hearing this, Fang Jing was a little surprised.

"Is this money exempt? The court will pay?" Fang Jing asked.

Zhu Bixuan shook her head and said: "The national treasury is empty, where can I get 1000 million taels now? The imperial court plans to use Jiangnandong County's Yanyin next year as military salary, and if you buy Yanyin now, it will be settled at 1000% of the normal price. This is regarded as the imperial court giving Jiangnandong The profits of the major businesses in the county. Of course, it is 1000 million taels of salt, and the rest will be at the normal price. After all, the imperial court is preparing to collect 600 million taels of silver for the time being, of which 400 million taels will be purchased for food and [-] million taels will be used as military pay for soldiers , I believe you also know."

Fang Jing understood the court's intentions, and the state treasury still didn't want to come out at all.

Although the national treasury is empty, I believe it is no problem to spend several million taels.

Now the imperial court has set its mind on Yanyin next year.

It is not uncommon to eat more than enough food for free, and everyone can accept it.

"Thank you Princess." Fang Jing said gratefully.

Zhu Bixuan must have put in a lot of effort to convince the emperor about this matter.

"You don't need to thank me." Zhu Bixuan waved her hand, "I hope you can handle this matter well, otherwise the frontline soldiers have no food, how can they resist the Turkic army?"

"Please rest assured, the Princess, I will do my best." Fang Jing replied, "I can donate 100 million taels as food and wages on behalf of the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce."

"Okay." Zhu Bixuan said with a smile, "I will report this matter to the imperial court, and I will credit you first."

She still knows the financial resources of the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce, 100 million taels is a lot of money to other people, but it is really nothing to Fang Jing.

"I heard that you spent 1000 million taels in Hangzhou Mansion some time ago for the list of the most beautiful people in Jianghu. I'm curious, how rich is your Fang family business?"

Zhu Bixuan really wanted to know this.

Ever since Fang Jing came into her sight, she has also learned about Fang's firm.

When Fang Jing's parents were still there, Fang's firm was just the No. [-] firm in Qingshan County, no matter how rich they were, it was only about a million taels at most.

But after Fang Jing took over, in less than a year, the Fang family business expanded to the point it is now, which is really appalling.

It was rumored that Fang Jing's parents left behind a secret wealth, and those common people might have surnames, but how could she believe such things.

How can there be no trace of wealth of tens of millions of taels?

Judging from the business run by Fang Jing's parents, it is absolutely impossible to make so much money.

In the end, she felt that there were several possibilities for Fang Jing to achieve what he is today.

One is that Fang Jing should have obtained a certain treasure and became rich overnight.

The second is that a certain powerful force is supporting Fang Jing, and Fang Jing is just a figure on their face.

Zhu Bixuan tends to the second type.

The first one can explain money, but it is difficult to explain that Fang's firm has so many masters.

These masters definitely appeared in Fang's firm recently, otherwise Fang Jing's parents would not have died.

"Actually, I don't really know." Fang Jing replied.

"I don't know?" Zhu Bixuan said with a smile, "There are too many, it's hard to count, right?"

"It's not that, I usually don't care about it." Fang Jing said.

"Oh?" Zhu Bixuan narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this, "Wang Xiyue? Your fiancée is in charge of the cashier, and she didn't tell you?"

Fang Jing nodded and said: "I think there should be tens of millions of taels, of course not the cash in hand."

"It's really amazing." Zhu Bixuan said with emotion, "Look at the court, there are not many copper coins in the treasury, I really don't know where all the silver has gone. When you go back, you tell Xiyue that if you are free, you can come I am a guest at the princess' mansion, I really want to meet her and ask her about some profitable business."

Regarding Fang Jing, Zhu Bixuan still couldn't understand it.

No matter how much she trusts Wang Xiyue, she is still a fiancée and has never been married.

Let go of the financial power of the Fang family firm, that is, Fang Jinggan.

Who would dare to do this for anyone else?

Of course, Zhu Bixuan admired Wang Xiyue very much. A woman who can manage such a large business and is about her age, she really wants to meet a real person.

"Be sure to bring the words with you." Fang Jing replied.

"I'm not joking, you have to take it seriously." Zhu Bixuan said seriously, "Oh, and that Liang Jingwei, Qiangwei Fairy, the beauty at the top of the world's most beautiful list. I heard that all the women of yours are not ordinary. , Come here together when the time comes, it’s rare that everyone is about the same age, and it also makes my princess’s mansion lively. Usually it’s too deserted.”
