Chapter 15 Three Gold Medals
"Your Majesty can't do it!" Zhu ignored his expression and said, "I suffered from Liu Jin and others a few years ago, and the court was unstable. Once the court is cleaned, the entire Ming Dynasty may enter a precarious situation. People seize the opportunity and take advantage of this chaos to attack, I am in danger!"

"Yes! Your Majesty." Wan Sanqian tried to dissuade again and again at this time, "The Emperor's business reform is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, and the grassroots will definitely cooperate very much, but it is absolutely impossible to use commercial reforms to cleanse the court! The court is the core of a country, and commerce is the lifeblood of the country, if there is a problem with both of them, the collapse of the Ming Dynasty is imminent!"

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "You are overthinking. Do you think I have not considered such a thing? You have misunderstood my thoughts. How can I really carry out the court while reforming business? What about the Great Cleansing? What I mean is to take advantage of this opportunity of commercial reform to see which officials in the imperial court are truly benefiting the country and the people, and which ones are just pretending to be the ones who want to rule the court with cholera."

Hearing this, Zhu Wushi, Wan Sanqian and others breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty is wise, the reform of business will definitely affect the minds of many people. If they contribute to this, they will be loyal to the Emperor and serve as officials for the benefit of the people." On the other hand, if someone disturbs the commercial reform for his own selfishness, he must be the leader of the cholera government! The emperor can purify the government and the opposition while reforming the commercial industry for the benefit of the people. road.

Zhu Wushi glanced at Wansanqian beside him, but he felt a little bad in his heart. Wansanqian was able to survive a crisis in the past. Lay down such a large asset.I was ordered by the first emperor to build Hulong Mountain Villa, and then got the support of Wansanqian, and then established the huge information network. If Wansanqian changed from supporting himself to supporting the emperor, it would be a big deal. Not good.

Not to mention that after the emperor received the support of Wan Sanqian, the richest man in the country, his financial resources soared, his ability to control the court would inevitably be greatly strengthened, and his own rights would also be weakened invisibly.If [-] people supported the emperor, it would be impossible for him to fully support him as before. This will undoubtedly greatly weaken his power, which is not good for him!

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "This plan is indeed very good, but it cannot be separated from your support, Wan Sanqian. Without the support of you, the richest businessman in the world, commercial reform would only be a joke."

"Your Majesty praises it. Caomin is only doing business well. It is a great honor to be able to share the emperor's worries and benefit the common people."

"Okay, well said." Emperor Zhengde nodded repeatedly, then clapped his hands lightly, and summoned an eunuch holding a tray.

Wan Sanqian and Zhu ignored it and found three red gold tokens on the tray.Under the signal of Emperor Zhengde, the eunuch brought the tray to Wan Sanqian and handed it to him.

"Your Majesty, what are these three gold medals?" Wan Sanqian asked in confusion.

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "Wan Sanqian, if you are willing to share my worries and support my decision to reform business, I will naturally not treat you badly. This first gold medal represents my meaning. The place where the gold medal is located, If you come here in person, you can hold it in your hand and ask officials from all over the country to cooperate with you in reforming business. If you don’t follow, you can kill them first. I think with this thing, the efficiency of your business reform should be greatly improved. "

"What the emperor said is very true. With the cooperation of local governments, the grassroots can reduce too many unnecessary worries, and the success rate and progress of commercial reforms will definitely be greatly improved. If the grasslands were sure to complete the commercial reform within ten years, now three One year is enough." Wan Sanqian said happily.

"Very good." Emperor Zhengde nodded, then pointed to the second gold medal and said, "This gold medal represents your identity. Although the commercial reform is what I mean, you are just a commoner after all. It will go against my will, but some people may not recognize you. This second gold medal is the status I bestowed on you. Although you have no right to reappear, your status is higher than that of a second-rank official."

"Grassman, thank you for the emperor's gift." Wan Sanqian's face was full of joy. Since ancient times, it has been the division of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants. The status of merchants is the lowest. Although they have a lot of money, they are oppressed by officials. Now they have this Token, he is also a person of status, and he is no longer an ordinary merchant.

"As for the last gold medal, I didn't intend to give it to you now, because this is the benefit I intend to give you after the commercial reform and after you have made great contributions." Seeing Wan Sanqian puzzled , Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "This third gold medal is a gold medal for avoiding death."

"If you want to come to the death-prevention gold medal, you know what it means!" Emperor Zhengde said, "This death-prevention gold medal can exonerate all crimes, even the crime of treason and the crime of implicating the nine clans."

"The grassroots are terrified, how can the grassroots be able to be so loved by the emperor?" Wan Sanqian knelt down on the ground and said gratefully.

Emperor Zhengde shook his head slightly and said, "Wan Sanqian, if you can complete this major event of commercial reform and bring the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty one step closer, what is a mere gold medal for avoiding death? I can grant you a title, hereditary. Moreover, I gave you this death-free gold medal to prevent you from inevitably encountering some restricted areas during this commercial reform and being caught by others. With this death-free gold medal, you can no longer worry about it."

"The emperor has spent so much time and effort on behalf of the grassroots, and he is very considerate of the grassroots. I vow to complete the commercial reform to the death, so that the emperor's worries will be relieved." Wan Sanqian knelt down on the ground. "I know that in recent years, Liu Jin and others have caused chaos and left the treasury empty. The grassroots are willing to do their best to relieve the emperor's worries." Saying that, Wan Sanqian took out the gift list he had prepared a long time ago and handed it over.

"Oh!" Eunuch Sun who was next to him hurriedly took the gift slip and passed it on. After Emperor Zhengde took the gift slip and looked at it, he couldn't help but be secretly astonished.Although he knew that Wan Sanqian, the richest businessman in the world, was as rich as a country, but the things on this gift list still let him know what a rich person is.

3000 million taels of silver, 500 million taels of gold, ten carts of pearls, emeralds,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and the combined value of these things is much more valuable than the wealth in the treasury right now. He truly deserves to be the richest businessman in the world!You must know that this is only something offered by Wansanqian. No one knows how much of his assets are in it, but it is certain that the items on the gift list are far worse than all his properties. It is true that a thousand riches can rival a country.

Emperor Zhengde looked at the list of gifts, then looked at Wansanqian and said, "As expected of Wansanqian, who is as rich as a country, but I cannot accept this generous gift from you. The next commercial reform will require you to spend a lot of wealth. These Money is not a small amount, and with the help of this money, business reform will be much easier. Although the national treasury is empty, it does not mean that there is no money at all."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, although business reform requires a lot of money, it still requires the cooperation of local governments. Now that I have the gold medal bestowed by the Emperor, the biggest difficulty has been solved, and money is a secondary thing." Wan Sanqian bowed and saluted.

Emperor Zhengde nodded, and then said, "If that's the case, then I will accept it. It just so happens that I need a lot of money to support the next thing I want to do. This move can be said to be a timely gift!"

"The emperor approves, and I can do my part for the emperor and the people of the world. This is what I should do." Wan Sanqian said respectfully.

"If all the officials can be like you and think about the people, my Ming Dynasty will definitely prosper a hundred times." Emperor Zhengde sighed slightly, then looked at Zhu Wushi and said, "Uncle Huang is also very curious about what I want to do. So much money? This matter still needs the support of the emperor!"

Zhu ignored and cupped his hands and said, "This king is really curious about what the emperor has done?"

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "I remember that the emperor's uncle Hulong Villa has the No. [-] manor in the world, and the manor collects the No. [-] people in various industries in the world. It is rumored that Zhang Jinjiu, the No. [-] detective in the world, is also among them, but real?"

"The emperor is right. Zhang Jinjiu, the number one detective in the world, is indeed working in the number one villa in the world, but I don't know what the emperor asked him for?" Zhu Wushi asked curiously. Zhang Jinjiu had a deep friendship with him, and he also His trump card for collecting news, the emperor seems to want to meet him.
