Chapter 1622: Grace
Speaking of which, the two brothers, Hou Shouning and Bo Jianchang, have earned more than one million taels of silver in Zhenguo Mansion, and are considered rich.
But 150,000 taels of real money and silver are not something that can be easily obtained. After all, for people who do business, they can only make money by investing money. Therefore, although they have a net worth of millions, it is good to have 100,000 in cash in their hands. Now they have raised 150,000. This time, the Zhang brothers have almost put all their lives on Li Dongyang.
In other words, these two grandsons open their eyes and talk lies every day, boosting morale, saying that they want to support Wang Hua, but behind their backs, they think that Li Dongyang will win.
How come it is not something?
Seeing that Ye Chunqiu's face looked ugly, it was extremely difficult to see, Zhu Houzhao felt a little more comfortable.
Chunqiu is still very worried about me, brothers are brothers!
Zhu Houzhao sighed, "Forget it, I don't think about this anymore. As the emperor, how can I not count what I said? I have asked the factory guard to investigate it privately. Master Li has a chance of winning more than 95%. I am afraid that I will lose a bad time this time. Oh, if I lose, I will lose. As for me, I just think it's just a little distressed. But Spring and Autumn doesn't have to be willing for me, I will be fine in a few days."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Ye Chunqiu with her hands on Ye Chunqiu's shoulders, and comforted Ye Chunqiu: "There is nothing to be reluctant to leave. If you lose, you will lose. I feel very calm. Just like you, it doesn't matter if you lose Mount Tai, it doesn't matter. Keep the green mountains there, and you are not afraid of burning firewood, right?"
Ye Chunqiu was thinking in his heart that His Majesty lost but only lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. However, if his brother lost, the impact was not comparable to some money. Once Li Dongyang continued to serve as the chief minister and used scholars to support his successor in a real way, this means that he could unscrupulously attack merchants, which was something that Ye Chunqiu could not accept.
Ye Chunqiu calmed down and said, "Your Majesty is saying."
This was a bit against his will, but he was unwilling to the emperor to interfere in public recommendation. Once this example was opened, it would only cause endless trouble.
Zhu Houzhao sighed, forced a smile, and said, "Why do people in the world think that Master Li will win? I still don't understand."
Ye Chunqiu thought for a while and said, "Mr. Li has been through three dynasties and scholars are familiar with him, not to mention that scholars have never liked merchants."
Anti-Shanghai is an emotion. Merchants do have many shortcomings. What they pursue is the most selfish principle. Such people are often the most disgusted by people. Their behavior is contrary to the knowledge in the Four Books and Five Classics.
It is well known that Wang Hua has supported him through merchants. Although many scholars have seen the benefits of commercial activities, especially some of the more wealthy scholars from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and many students have made some high-reward business through Zhenguo Mansion, but in this world, at least 50% of scholars are completely anti-Business, and the other two or three hundred, although not explicit, will never have any good feelings for Zhenguo Mansion.
In other words, under these conditions, Li Dongyang is indeed sure to win. Although the poetry club has been mobilized, it cannot change the direction of the wind at once. No wonder many people beat Li Dongyang to win.
