Chapter 1004: What more could a husband ask for?
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Don't ask the Seven Swords".
Mo Zhinian looked at Wu Zheng with his eyes, although Wu Zheng asked sharply, but Mo Zhinian knew very well in his heart that if this question was not answered well, the consequences would be very serious, not that Wu Zheng would no longer trust him because of this, but that it would leave a small crack in his heart.
Trust between people is never achieved overnight, but is slowly accumulated through time and experience.
Distrust, too.
Therefore, Mo Zhinian did not avoid this sharp question, but chose to open his heart with a limit, because once he covered it up, or lied to it, then it was really possible to lose Wu Zheng's trust.
"If the name is not right, the word is not good." Mo Zhinian said calmly, "Although the old man has the financial power, but this is only in Hangzhou Mansion, out of Hangzhou Mansion, no one will pay attention to the old decay, not to mention other places, Ying Tianfu is like this." The name of the financial secretary was made up by the prince, and since the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a yamen...... If the prince can ascend the throne as the emperor, then, even if the prince makes it up, it is also the iron law of Chrysostom, the prince says that there is, then there is! The old man is old, and he has poured all the Mo family into funding the great cause of the prince's Northern Expedition, so he has to leave something for the descendants of the Mo family...... Lord Wang, the requirements of the old decay are not high, right? ”
Wu Zheng glanced at Mo Zhi deeply and said with a smile: "It's really not high, there must always be a return on investment." ”
Mo Zhinian hurriedly knelt down when he heard this, "The old man is selfish, and I hope that the prince will not be guilty!" ”
Wu Zheng stood up and said: "Mo Lao misunderstood, I said that investment must always have a return, and there is no depreciation." In fact, winning the world and ruling the world is just like an investment, there must be a return, and if there is no return, who is willing to invest? Mo Lao didn't need to worry about this. ”
Mo Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The old man knows that he is indeed a little more selfish, but the old man is different from others...... When people get old, they don't have too big ambitions, and they begin to value the interests and ...... under their noses. ”
"That's right." Wu Zheng gently patted the back of Mo Zhinian's hand, "It's me who is too harsh on Mo Lao, and I keep asking for it, but I can't repay it, all these years, I have let Mo Lao pay out of his pocket to fill the hole in the General's Mansion...... Come to think of it, I'm ashamed. ”
"The prince must not say this, this is the ...... of the old man's willingness."
"That is, the emperor's throne, it's not difficult." Wu Zheng returned to his seat and said calmly, "Mo Lao also sits." ”
"But at present, there are more than 20 prefectures in the Yixing Dynasty, and the total is only a little more than one political envoy (Dao, equivalent to a province) in the Ming Dynasty, and it will be too ridiculous to turn a political envoy into an emperor...... Oh, I don't mean to laugh at today, but let me do it, I'd rather be a political envoy, that's my attitude. ”
"Mo Lao, to seize the world, sometimes you don't need to use force, the people's hearts are back, and you can't be underestimated. There is still a difference between the monarchs and ministers of the Yixing Dynasty and the Tartars of the north, they are not my enemies after all...... Although I can't call my heart, I can't change the status quo by my own will. Of course, like this time when the emperor ordered Huang Dazhan to hunt me down, he must pay the corresponding price, and I will never let this matter go away because he is the emperor...... It's the same for everyone, otherwise, wouldn't I be bullied miserably? ”
"Besides, in the northwest and southeast, as well as the forces of the Great Western Army and the existence of Emperor Yongli, I can't overthrow an emperor surnamed Zhu in Yixing, and then overthrow another emperor surnamed Zhu, in this way, my reputation will stink, and people in the world will accuse me, if I don't resist the Qing Dynasty, I will only ...... civil war."
Wu Zheng suddenly laughed, "At least until now, the situation in Jiangnan is still good, you see, I was hunted down and killed last night, and the people are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect each other, Brother Huang Dachun, I would rather abandon family affection than harm me...... The eyes of the masses are bright, haha...... Mo Lao, you allow me three years, after three years, people's hearts will definitely be reversed, and when the time comes, there will be no need to kill each other, and it will be a matter of course to take the world. ”
Wu Zheng actually didn't say it thoroughly, he was still young, rather than ascending the throne as a young son of heaven and being trapped in the palace all day long against a bunch of eunuchs and old men, it was better to cultivate a group of civil and military talents outside.
Young and young, in fact, is a shallow foundation, and this foundation refers to connections.
If the government and the opposition do not have a group of civil and military forces that can be controlled, even if the emperor dies in the palace, I am afraid no one will pay attention to it, this is very cruel, but it is the truth.
Zhu Cihong is the best example, Wu Zheng doesn't want to become Zhu Cihong's second.
The so-called building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming a king is exactly the truth.
Mo Zhinian heard this, pondered for a while, and arched his hand and said: "The prince is right, it is the old man who is anxious...... However, the old man congratulated the prince, but this was not the case. ”
Wu Zheng was stunned and said, "Then what else is worthy of Mo Lao's solemnity?" ”
"Congratulations to the prince, the princess and the side concubine are happy."
Wu Zheng opened his mouth when he heard this, and his eyes widened, "Is what Old Mo said serious?" ”
"It's about the inheritance of the prince's great cause, how dare the old man coax the prince in this matter? Before Lao Yu was ordered to enter Beijing, the medical worker was diagnosed...... There will be no fakes. ”
Wu Zheng suddenly laughed, "So, I'm double happy?" First end the war, and then deal with the mess in the capital, count the time, and still have time to go back and wait for my son to be born...... Haha, what more could you ask for? ”
Seeing that Mo Zhinian's face was calm, but there was no smile, Wu Zheng's heart moved, and he immediately guessed the entanglement of Mo Zhinian-Mo Yiqing.
Wu Zheng said meaningfully: "Mo Lao, in life, there are always gains and losses...... If there is too much profit, there is a lack of it, and Mo Lao should understand this truth. ”
"Old decay understands."
"Then I'm relieved...... I should know what you have done when you are summoned to Beijing this time, right? ”
"The letter of the prince is very detailed, and the old man and others know it, but it is just ......."
"Just what? Needless to say, between you and me, anything can be said. ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Mo Zhinian looked at Wu Zheng and said, "The old man is a subordinate of the prince, but after all, he is also the head of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and some things have to be explained clearly, otherwise there will be objections on both sides, and there will be filth." ”
"As it should be."
"The Mojia Qianzhuang, the Qianzhuang under the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and now the household money of the imperial court, the integration of the three is indeed a very far-sighted strategy. However, please forgive the old man for being arrogant, as we all know, among the three, the Mo family money village is the most powerful, even if the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has strong financial resources, but because of the late start, it is not as good as the Mo family money village. Hubu Qianzhuang, now there is only an empty shell left, there is such a big bad debt behind the buttocks, if this bad debt has to be shared with the Mojia Qianzhuang and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, then it is better to start from scratch, more than 20 million, with the connections of the Mo family and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, it is enough to open multiple branches in various provinces, and the number is at least three times that of the Hubu Qianzhuang...... Please also ask the prince to consider and consider. ”
