"I'm back so soon? It's moving very quickly!"

Hearing Cheng Chumo's voice, Xiao Zhengtai looked happy, and raised her body slightly and said softly.

"That's natural. Your Highness doesn't look at who I am. There is no need to worry about selling spices. So after Your Highness left, the merchants went crazy and directly raised the price of spices to a sky-high price. According to Your Highness's instructions, they directly sold the spices and exchanged them all for food.

With the experience of the last time, the merchants didn't need my instructions to prepare the grain and took the initiative to deliver it. Now the grain in the entire Lingnan region can basically be taken out, that is, these. If you want to continue purchasing grain there, you can only wait for the next round of harvest except for external transfers."

Cheng Chumo said proudly that he did not use any means, and all the merchants took the initiative to send the food. This time, these merchants learned their lessons and never made any profits in it. Otherwise, he would have made those guys pay a heavy price.

"Your Highness, guess how many IOUs I brought back this time?"

Finally, Cheng Chumo showed a successful smile, as if he had done something very remarkable.

"A ship's spices are priced at a price of 500,000 taels of gold, and those merchants cannot write IOUs, at most, only 2 million taels of gold!"

With only this little money, I still wanted to keep it in front of him. Xiao Zhengtai looked at Cheng Chumo helplessly. He really didn't know what was worth showing off. I'm afraid that if someone else would have such a gain.

"Haha! Your Highness, you guessed it wrong this time. It was not two million taels of gold, but an IOU of five million taels of gold."

Cheng Chumo looked proud. He did not ask those guys to buy these spices. Everything was a normal transaction, but their bid far exceeded His Highness's original expectations.

"Damn it! What are you doing in Lingnan? How could you get so many IOUs?"

After hearing this number, before Xiao Zhengtai spoke, Qin Huaiyu looked over with disbelief. It was impossible for His Highness to make such a big mistake.

According to normal circumstances, such a thing is simply impossible. Even if it is more than expected, it will not be so much more.

"You're not kidding! Are these businessmen crazy?"

Xiao Zhengtai was also very confused. Such a thing was impossible to happen. As the saying goes, all businessmen are all pursuing interests. How could they be so generous? There are absolutely something he doesn't know about here.

"Your Highness, you heard it right, and the generals did not use improper means. The prices of those spices were shouted out by the merchants themselves. Each box of spices was much higher than the original price, and they still maintained a shortage of supply."

Cheng Chumo said with a smile that the ability to achieve such an effect is a good foundation for His Highness to build. Otherwise, how could he have achieved such great contributions?

"Things are not right! Under normal circumstances, they should try hard to lower the price. How could they take the initiative to raise the price?"

Li Yan'er, who followed Wu Meiniang to learn how to do business, has long been no longer the rookie he used to be. She has never heard of such a thing. If she hadn't known that Cheng Chumo was not a nonsense person, she wouldn't have believed it at all.

"Your Highness, the reason why they do this is probably because of you!"

After hearing Li Yan'er's analysis, Wu Meiniang shook her head invisibly, then she looked very interested. Looking at Xiao Zhengtai, she really didn't know how His Highness did this.

"Who said no? The last time I happened, I was just a small punishment and a big warning. I didn't expect it to have such a great influence on them!"

Xiao Zhengtai spread his hands and obviously understood what Wu Meiniang meant. Even he himself did not expect that those merchants would make such a choice.

Of course, they were not deliberately sending money to the court, nor did they express their determination to Xiao Zhengtai for nothing.

Looking back on the disaster in Shandong and this disaster, the court did not miss them, especially when His Majesty built a naval base here, even a fool knew that Lingnan's future development will surely be bright.

Last time, these people thought Lao Zhou and others were fools, but later they realized that they were fools and regretted it. Now, it is precisely because of their stupidity that the businesses of several companies have expanded dramatically during this period, becoming commercial giants in Lingnan.

In Lingnan, once you get strong support from the Feng family, it is difficult to not be rich. This makes all the businessmen jealous and secretly scold themselves for being short-sighted and regretful.

More importantly, His Majesty actually praised the feat of Lao Zhou and his group, which led to the first person to reach a cooperation with the outside world in the Lingnan region.

Now, these businessmen would rather give their all their belongings than leave a good impression in front of His Royal Highness. His words from His Royal Highness will immediately make them prosperous.

Therefore, at this auction, no merchant lowered the price, and wanted to call the spices at sky-high prices and then win the attention of His Royal Highness the Prince.

The development of Lingnan has become a foregone conclusion, which is something that everyone can see. Such a transaction is absolutely impossible to be just once or twice. This time, they looked far away and understood a truth: as long as they have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, nothing is still a problem.

"Your Highness, this is the first time I have encountered such a businessman who takes the initiative to give money. If I hadn't learned about their wishful thinking later, I would have thought that their conscience had been discovered!"

Cheng Chumo shrugged and spoke slowly. The businessmen always put their interests first. Even if they have paid their own wealth, as long as they are recognized by His Highness, they will definitely get more rewards in the future.

"Not bad! You did a good job this time. The snow disaster may have consumed a lot of money from the treasury. The IOU you brought back may be able to fill a lot of money for the treasury! This is a great achievement, and the father will definitely reward you."

The businessmen knew the minds of the businessmen. Although they knew that they wanted to please them, they would not treat them like Lao Zhou and others. At least, if they had any business in the future, they could consider them.

"Your Highness, you and Huaiyu go to heaven, you don't even bring me such a good thing. You are quite partial to you!"

Cheng Chumo didn't mind the reward, but was resentful of the two of them riding in hot air balloons. Feixiang was what everyone dreamed of. Now only His Highness succeeded, and he actually missed it.
Chapter completed!
