The Great Ming Demon Pill: Your Majesty, please address me as the Crown Prince!

Qianyuan Hall.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your principal has increased one hundredfold! Prism mission "Century Trader" is complete!]

[Ding! You have obtained a Prismatic Treasure Chest!]

[Ding! The skill Riding (Advanced) has been upgraded to Prism Grade - Horsemanship (Extremely high affinity with horses, can instantly tame any breed)]

Zhu Zhanjun stroked his chin with satisfaction.

Good heavens!

This Prism quest took a full fifteen days to trigger.

The task was finally completed today after the settlement.

In fact, this task could have been completed long ago. Ten days ago, he already had more than 10,000 guan in his hands!

Unfortunately, this task seems to be time-bound; the results are only tallied after the countdown ends.

He now possesses treasures and money worth approximately 300,000 strings of cash.

He seriously underestimated the wealth of the sons of the Kyoto no Kenkichi.

Even a group of young men and a group of spoiled brats could be swindled out of more than 300,000 strings of cash.

When these people get greedy, it's outrageous.

Not only did he take out cash, but he also took a lot of antique paintings, calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry from home as collateral for investment.

Therefore, he completed this task quite easily.

If it were done in the usual way, it would be impossible to accomplish such a great feat in just half a month.

"Your Highness..."

A palace maid rushed in and addressed Zhu Zhanjun.

"Second Prince Zhu Zhanqi and Prince Zhu Yi wish to request an audience with the Third Prince."

Zhu Zhanjun waved his hand.

"Please let them in."

"Yes," the palace maid replied respectfully.

After a while.

Zhu Yi, Zhu Zhanqi, Zhang Mao, Li Heng, Liu Zhong, and Zheng Yu hurriedly entered.

Everyone looked quite anxious.

Upon seeing Zhu Zhanjun lying in a chair drinking tea, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhu Yi quickly replied.

"Your Highness, you still have the mood to drink tea?"

"My cousins ​​are practically tearing me apart!"

"They're all coming to me demanding an explanation from you."

"What's the situation with that money?"

The others nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Your Highness, my friends are very anxious."

"I don't dare go back inside now. My fourth uncle is watching over me every day, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, my brothers and sisters are blocking my front door every day."

"..."

The hall immediately erupted in a cacophony of voices.

Zhu Zhanjun slowly raised his hand, and His Highness immediately fell silent.

All eyes turned to him.

Zhu Zhanjun coughed lightly.

"I have some bad news to share with you all."

"My business deal has been put on hold for now due to technical reasons."

"But the money has already been spent."

"So, the rebate... I guess there won't be any."

"As for the principal, we simply can't come up with that!"

[Ding! You have obtained a golden treasure chest!]

[Ding! You have obtained a golden treasure chest!]

[Ding! You have obtained a golden treasure chest!]

Everyone: "..."

They felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Goodness, they brought in a whole bunch of people.

Everyone's blocking their door now; if they can't come up with the money...

Zhu Yi swallowed hard and said tremblingly.

"Your Highness, how am I supposed to explain this to my cousins?"

"I introduced them to the investment."

"It doesn't matter if we lose our own money, but it's hard to face them."

The others also looked at Zhu Zhanjun expectantly and nodded in agreement.

Zhu Zhanjun patted Zhu Yi and said with a deep look in his eyes.

"My deputy class monitor, just tell them directly that investing involves risks, and one should be cautious when entering the industry."

"By the way, tell them that refunds are not available for minors."

Damn, he went to great lengths to complete this prismatic task.

Although he now has over 100,000 strings of cash, if he gives it all away according to the rebate rules, he still won't be able to pay off his debts.

So, I simply decided not to pay it back.

"Huh?" Zhu Yi's eyes widened upon hearing this, her face full of confusion.

The others were also dumbfounded.

Zhang Mao said, trembling.

"But... but Your Highness, if we don't give them the money, they might cause a scene."

Although he usually flatters those friends, they are all fair-weather friends. When it comes to real interests, they can turn on each other in an instant.

Zhu Zhanjun patted him on the shoulder.

"Old Zhang, open your mind. The one who owes money is the boss."

"If they make things difficult for you, you won't get a single penny."

"If I wanted to get a rebate from you, wouldn't I have to treat you like royalty?"

"We owe them a dollar; they're the bosses!"

"If you owe them ten thousand strings of cash, you're the boss!"

Zhang Mao trembled upon hearing this, his eyes widening.

Hold the grass!

The Third Prince is right!

The others also suddenly realized.

Zhu Zhanjun continued to patiently guide him.

"Besides, although my candy business hasn't been successful yet, it will be successful someday."

"As the saying goes, chase the rise and fall, and go all in with heavy positions."

"Now is the perfect time to buy at the bottom!"

"Consider it as depositing some initial shares with me."

"When I am the richest man in the world in the future, I will give them ten times the wealth."

"Tell them this when you get back."

Isn't it just empty promises?

This is a tradition in the Zhu family.

Once he becomes emperor, he doesn't believe those people will dare to ask him for money again.

Everyone listened, completely bewildered.

The Third Prince kept coming up with new phrases, which gave them a refreshing experience.

But can things really work if we do things this way?

Everyone seemed to be preoccupied.

Zhu Zhanjun suddenly clapped his hands.

A series of footsteps sounded.

A group of eunuchs walked in, carrying several boxes.

Everyone looked at each other.

What is Your Highness doing?

The eunuchs put the box down and then withdrew.

Zhu Zhanjun said with a serious expression.

"Everyone, although this business is temporarily suspended and the invested money cannot be withdrawn."

"But I will personally make up for your share."

After saying that, he opened the box, inside which were neatly arranged Yongle Tongbao coins.

The onlookers exchanged bewildered glances.

Zhu Yi swallowed.

"Third Prince, what's wrong...?"

Zhu Zhanjun spoke with righteous indignation.

"We're half-brothers, though we don't share the same father!"

"We will not mistreat you, even if we mistreat others."

Zhu Yi, Zhu Zhanqi, Zhang Mao, Li Heng, Liu Zhong, and Zheng Yu all looked moved.

Zhu Yi choked up a little.

"Your Highness is too kind and benevolent."

Zhang Mao's eyes were filled with tears.

"That's right, those bastards, they're silent when they're making money, but they whine and complain when they encounter difficulties. They've all forgotten who gave them the opportunity to make money!"

Liu Zhong nodded repeatedly.

"The Third Prince's kindness can never be repaid!"

Zhu Zhanqi couldn't help but say.

"Third brother, why did you get someone to invest in that damn sugar business?"

All eyes fell on Zhu Zhanjun.

They were actually quite curious too.

This Third Prince only talked about wanting to do the sugar business; they had never seen him actually do it or how he would do it.

Zhu Zhanjun's lips twitched.

How was he supposed to answer that?

Are you suggesting that this is just some random fabrication about a Ponzi scheme?

Zhu Zhanjun muttered to himself, but on the surface he spoke with an air of righteous indignation.

"Our Great Ming Dynasty has only been established for a few decades. Emperor Taizu drove out the Yuan people and recovered the devastated land of China."

"Now that it's in the Emperor's hands, the enemy on the border still harbors treacherous intentions."

"In order to carry out the Northern Expedition, the people had to tighten their belts."

"I want to develop a new kind of candy!"

"The more innovation there is in an industry, the more livelihoods there will be."

"If I can expand the new sugar business, I can create jobs for millions of people, giving them more opportunities to support themselves!"

Everyone immediately became solemn and respectful.

That's it!

This Third Prince is truly admirable!

Zhu Zhanqi sighed.

"Third brother..."

"Innovation is not something that comes easily."

"Is it worth it now that the hole is so big?"

Zhu Zhanjun said with a deep expression.

"Gentlemen, let me ask you this: we've decided to do this business now, and we're all so young. Do we even know what the future of the Ming Dynasty will be like?"

"You know what?"

"have no idea!"

"Do you know whether your current dedication to sugar research and your tireless efforts to create jobs for the people will lead to success or failure?"

"When I die, will my grave be covered with flowers or dog poop?"

"You know what?"

"have no idea!"

"To succeed, one must be tempered and refined."

"Isn't it worth it if ordinary people have the opportunity to live a prosperous life?"

"worth!"

Everyone watched Zhu Zhanjun's impassioned speech in silence, their hearts stirred.

Zhu Zhanjun's figure instantly became towering in their hearts.

This is their prison!

Lau, a true man!
