[Zhu Di eventually died on the way back after the Northern Expedition. When Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he announced that he would move the capital. Shen Hai, who was then the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, saw through Zhu Gaochi's intention to go to the West again. After discussing it for a while, the most powerful merchants in the Chamber of Commerce decided to take the risk and poison Zhu Gaochi!]
[This is a huge gamble by the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, but Shen Hai and the other merchants are confident because the Chamber of Commerce has been developing rapidly over the years. Even the Forbidden City is filled with spies from the Chamber of Commerce! And the poison used by the Chamber of Commerce was also bought from the sea. There was no cure for it in Great Ming!]
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists so tightly that his veins were popping out.
Although he had expected this, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger still rose when he saw how crazy these merchants were!
His lungs were about to explode from anger!
This bunch of profiteers really dared to do anything for benefits!
Too audacious!
[The plan went very smoothly. The fourth emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaochi, died not long after he was poisoned! After Zhu Gaochi's death, the new emperor never mentioned the matter of moving the capital. Even if the new emperor sent people to the West again, it could not hinder the business of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.]
[The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce even bought a large number of Japanese ships. Before the official fleet arrived, they had already done business with the Western countries, causing the official fleet to have no business to do. The voyage to the West lost money, and the new emperor, Zhu Zhanji, never mentioned the voyage to the West again.]
[Since then, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has completely monopolized the business of going to the West. Their power has reached the peak of the sun! He even began to nurture scholars and help them enter the capital to take the examination to continue expanding their power!!]
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
These businessmen had actually started to cultivate their political power.
If they didn't stop this Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and allowed it to continue developing like this, it would definitely seriously threaten Great Ming's country!
What should he do?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he should set up an ancestral rule to let future generations pay attention to these merchants.
[In the third year of Zhu Zhanji's reign as Emperor, Shen Hai, who was the President, suddenly discovered that merchants from Qiongzhou were collecting precious medicinal herbs from all over the Ming Dynasty. These merchants from Qiongzhou were also selling a kind of boiled egg. This boiled egg was extremely magical. Not only did it have a long shelf life, but it could also treat various illnesses and make people full of vitality. Therefore, it was sold at an extremely high price!]
[Shen Hai and the other merchants are envious of the profits. They also know that this kind of boiled egg can be sold at a sky-high price not only in the Ming Dynasty but also in the western countries!! So he immediately sent someone to investigate and soon found out that these boiled eggs came from King Hai Nan's mansion! The medicinal herbs that the merchants from Qiongzhou had purchased would also be supplied to King Hai Nan's Mansion!]
Therefore, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce began to take a series of actions against King Hai Nan's Mansion!]
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
These merchants probably thought that they could even poison the emperor, so they did not take King Hai Nan seriously at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang could only hope that these profiteers would be more ruthless.
In this way, Zhu Xu's revenge would be even more intense, which would dispel the hatred in his heart!
[The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce first purchased the medicinal herbs that Zhu Xu wanted and sold them to the merchants in Qiongzhou at a high price. They wanted to force these merchants to give them the business of boiled eggs. They even planned to monopolize all the profits and only give King Hai Nan's mansion a little cost price!]
[The merchants of Qiongzhou are naturally no match for the rich and powerful Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. Report this matter to King Hai Nan's Mansion.]
[Then, merchants from Qiongzhou appeared in the western countries and began to exchange boiled eggs for various medicinal herbs. The merchants from Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce were a little dumbfounded. They could not understand where those poor merchants from Qiongzhou came from to sail on a big ship to the western countries.]
[In the Great Ming Country, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is powerful, but the western countries only value goods. Tea leaves, silk, and porcelain are indeed more expensive than gold, but the boiled eggs sold by the merchants in Qiongzhou can save lives and prolong life. They are comparable to divine medicines. Their value is definitely not comparable to tea leaves, silk, and porcelain!]
Therefore, boiled eggs quickly became the best-selling product. The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce saw that the merchants in Qiongzhou were earning more and more money, and they were very jealous. Moreover, the merchants in Qiongzhou began to sell the specialties of western countries in the Ming Dynasty in exchange for medicinal herbs and money! This was completely stealing the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce's business!]
When the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce saw that they couldn't deal with the merchants of Qiongzhou under normal circumstances, they began to use other methods!]
[First, he bribed the servants of King Hai Nan's Mansion. After he failed, there were civil officials in the court who accused King Hai Nan of secretly doing medicinal herbs business. He earned a lot of money but did not pay any taxes to the court. Moreover, he never respected the king's orders. He did not even send a congratulatory message to the emperor on every birthday! He really harbored evil intentions! He proposed to strip King Hai Nan of his title and exile him!]
[Zhu Zhanji thought that Zhu Xu was of the same generation as his grandfather, so he only issued an imperial edict to ask Zhu Xu to give an explanation. However, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce added fuel to the fire and created rumors all over Qiongzhou. They only said that King Hai Nan did not respect the king's orders and was rebellious. The emperor was furious and would exile him. The imperial edict is already on its way!]]
However, Zhu Xu was completely unmoved by these rumors.]
[Seeing that Zhu Xu was stable, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce couldn't continue to fabricate charges. In the end, they found out and recruited 30,000 Wei Nation's Ronin Warriors to take a boat straight to Qiongzhou! He planned to rob King Hai Nan's Mansion and snatch the recipe for the egg!]
Above the sea.
Nearly a hundred Japanese ships braved the wind and waves.
The banner fluttered!
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he almost laughed out loud.
This Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce was really asking for it!
Zhu Yuanzhang also hoped that Zhu Xu would have a way to completely get rid of this tumor!
[After the Japanese pirates set foot in Qiongzhou, they planned to burn, kill, and rob all the way to the Prince's mansion. However, they only robbed a village and Zhu Xu had already walked out of the mansion!]
This time, Zhu Xu didn't have a sword in his hand. His long hair reached his waist, and his expression was cold and solemn. His gaze was as sharp as a knife.
Even through the screen.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang could feel a murderous intent assaulting his face!
This feeling was no less than when Zhu Xu faced Zhu Di's million-strong army in the previous deduction!
Zhu Yuanzhang instantly understood.
Zhu Xu was serious again!
[Zhu Xu gathered water into a sword and killed 30,000 Japanese in one strike! He drew lightning from afar and instantly destroyed a hundred warships!!]
In the system notification.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened as he watched Zhu Xu kill all the Japanese with his invisible sword qi!
He raised his hand and pointed, and a hundred bolts of lightning descended from the sky, shattering a hundred Japanese warships!
The sea breeze howled.
Zhu Xu stood with his hands behind his back in the dazzling lightning.
Like a god or a devil!
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.
He suddenly realized that Zhu Xu seemed to be more ferocious than the previous few times!!
