The ministers in the court have their own ideas, and the courtiers below are the same, everyone thinks differently, and they all start from their own self-interest or their own ideas.

This is actually difficult to change, but Zhu Youxiao didn't think of changing them.

In later generations, there was a word called unified thought, which was difficult to do in that era, let alone in the Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao does not expect to unify his thinking at all, as long as these officials can do what they ask for, Zhu Youxiao is not interested in their own affairs.

Glancing back at Chen Hong, who was still cleaning up, Zhu Youxiao asked, "I asked you to prepare a long time ago, why is it so slow?" ”

"Back to the emperor, there was nothing wrong with the original, but there was something wrong with the clothes I prepared before. The emperor can rest assured that the slave and maid have already asked them to get new ones. Chen Hong hurriedly said respectfully.

As for what was wrong, Zhu Youxiao didn't ask, because it didn't make much sense.

After packing up the clothes, Zhu Youxiao left the palace with Chen Hong.

This time, it was Qi Yuanfu and his subordinates who were guarding Zhu Youxiao.

This time it really scared Qi Yuanfu. He didn't expect His Majesty to leave the palace and want to persuade something, but before he could speak, the person had already come out.

Looking at the familiar appearance of His Majesty and Chen Hong, it is obvious that this is not the first time that he has left the palace. Although Qi Yuanfu wanted to say something in his heart, he didn't have this opportunity at all, so he could only silently do a good job of security.

After leaving the palace, Zhu Youxiao held a folding fan in his hand, dressed like a rich boy, wandering around the street, and seemed to be more interested in everything.

Soon the group came to the corner of the street where the Ministry of Internal Affairs was located.

Qi Yuanfu thought that His Majesty was going to hang out somewhere, but he didn't expect to come to the Internal Affairs Mansion, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

At least this is the yamen of the imperial court, and if something happens, the internal affairs office can also help a lot.

However, it seems that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a little too busy today, and there are many horse-drawn carriages parked outside the street.

After entering the street, more carriages were parked on the side of the street, and more people gathered in small groups to discuss something.

This made Qi Yuanfu a little confused, why is this happening?

So Qi Yuanfu came directly to Chen Hong, and said cautiously: "Gonggong Chen, there are many people here, is there some danger?" Otherwise, please go back to your majesty, or go somewhere else. ”

Glancing at Qi Yuanfu with a smile, Chen Hong said: "Your Majesty is here to participate in this matter, do you want to invite Your Majesty back?" We don't have the courage to say, or you try? ”

After hearing this, Qi Yuanfu knew that there was no way.

"Alright, you just do your own thing." Chen Hong patted Qi Yuanfu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has his own measure for the rest of the matter." You do things well. ”

"Yes, Grandpa Chen." Qi Yuanfu hurriedly bowed down and said.

For this Chen Hong Chen's father-in-law, Qi Yuanfu feels pretty good, there are not too many shelves in it on weekdays, and he will not be stingy when he has anything to do with him, but will directly explain the situation to himself, which can be regarded as a loyal elder.

However, Qi Yuanfu also understood in his heart that this was probably also for his father's face.

Many people say that my father is His Majesty's most trusted military courtier now. In Qi Yuanfu's opinion, this is exactly the case, but his father once told him that the more he is at this time, the more cautious he must be.

Therefore, Qi Yuanfu has always maintained a very respectful attitude towards anyone, especially after entering the palace.

Although Gonggong Chen showed his intimacy, Qi Yuanfu has always kept a distance from Chen Hong, but he has to get by on face.

Before entering the palace, my father told him that you must not make friends with anyone in the palace, you just need to listen to His Majesty's orders, and do not listen to or ask anything else.

Others may befriend others, and His Majesty will turn a blind eye, but there is no such opportunity for their Qi family.

Once you find out that something is wrong, Your Majesty will never forgive.

Therefore, Qi Yuanfu has always been very cautious, and he doesn't pay much attention to Chen Hong's purchase.

For Chen Hong, he didn't want Qi Yuanfu to do anything unfavorable to His Majesty. He is just a eunuch in the palace, and because of His Majesty's existence, he is where he is today, so he will not think about how to disadvantage His Majesty.

But now that the competition is fierce in the outer courts, and the palace is the same, Chen Hong just wants to get more help. But now looking at Qi Yuanfu's attitude, Qi Jin is afraid that he doesn't want to get involved with his big companion.

However, Chen Hong also knew in his heart that he did not dare to get involved with Qi Jin. Once he has anything to do with Qi Jin, His Majesty will definitely choose one of the two to dispose of.

With his own understanding of His Majesty, it is definitely not Qi Jin who is disposed of, then it will definitely be himself.

Therefore, Chen Hong will not look for death, and he treats Qi Yuanfu well just to have a good relationship with Qi Jin. Many times it is not necessary to get too close, it is enough to have a good karma.

Looking at the back of Qi Yuanfu leaving, Chen Hong also turned around and walked to Zhu Youxiao's side.

Seeing his emperor looking at him with a smile, Chen Hong's cold sweat flowed down at once, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Qi Yuanfu is worried that there are many people here and there is danger, so he wants to invite the emperor back to the palace." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded lightly, waved his hand and said, "Give him some rewards after returning to the palace." ”

"Yes, my lord, the slave understands." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Qi family father and son are really favored, and His Majesty will reward him for such a trivial matter.

Zhu Youxiao didn't pay attention to these, he paid attention to the things in the Internal Affairs Office today.

After walking inside with people, Zhu Youxiao mixed in the crowd and wanted to talk to someone.

But soon, Zhu Youxiao found that the people here were more cautious, and they didn't care about his strangers at all.

So Zhu Youxiao could only follow this group of people to wander around here to see if he could hear some rumors.

In fact, what to do here today, Zhu Youxiao's heart is clear.

Today's incident was presided over by Hu Fei, which was the first errand of the Audit Division, and it was also a very important thing, so Zhu Youxiao came to watch.

Soon, the crowd began to move inside, apparently almost ready.

Zhu Youxiao did not hesitate, and walked in directly with the crowd, and then found a remote corner to stand, quietly waiting to see.

I still can't show my face too much, otherwise I will be recognized by Hu Fei. Although Hu Fei may not reveal his identity as the emperor, if he sees his presence, he may not be as free and easy as before.

Soon after everyone arrived, Hu Fei also walked out of it, smiled and arched his hand to all the people present, and said loudly: "Everyone present, some know me and some don't, so let Hu introduce himself first." ”

"My surname is Hu, my name is Hu Fei, and I used to be a businessman on the ground in Jingshi. Now, I have joined the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I am a member of the Audit Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Maybe many people don't know what our audit department does. Today, I'm going to talk to you. ”

"First of all, the first duty of the Audit Department is to review what is sent into the palace. But if anyone dares to falsely report a high price, and someone dares to use shoddy, all of them are under the control of the audit department. You also know that the things that are sent into the palace are used by nobles. If we do find out that there is a problem, I am afraid that your head is not your own. ”

When the merchants present heard this, their faces became ugly, especially those who specially supplied the palace.

Of course, these people don't dare to use shoddy, after all, if the things sent to the palace are shoddy, once they are discovered, it will be a catastrophe of raiding the house. They didn't get rich through this.

They sent good things to the palace, but when they quoted them higher than the market price, and when they sent them in, they had to share the profits with the chamberlains, so the price was higher. That's how people make money.

But now look at what Hu Fei means, and I will have to investigate this aspect in the future, so how can I make money?

"After taking office, the official thoroughly investigated the old accounts in the palace in the past few years, and indeed found out something. The people in the palace have already gone to get people, and the servants in charge of purchasing may not end well, but everyone present, if there is a problem, I advise you to stand up now, don't let me say it. ”

"If you stand up and have an attitude of taking the initiative to admit your mistakes, you may be given a light punishment; If I were to say it, I would really be severely punished, at least a conscription of Liaodong. As for what that place in Liaodong is like, I think everyone present should not know it, right? ”

No one expected that this Hu Fei would give them a dismount.

However, in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, this matter was done very well, and Hu Fei handled the change of identity from a businessman to an official just right.

There is nothing wrong with my choice, this is a very suitable person.

As a businessman, you can hook up with these suppliers, isn't it just a game of harmony and wealth?

But as an official, you must not do this, you have to establish your own authority, at least make them respect you, so that they do not dare to fool you, otherwise you will end badly.

Now it seems that Hu Fei has realized this matter, so he has done it very well.

In the previous account, Hu Fei and Zhu Youxiao asked for instructions on what to do. At that time, Zhu Youxiao told him and asked him to watch it, after all, this matter is now in his charge, and it can also be regarded as a test for him.

Now it seems that Hu Fei is ready to do things with these things.

The faces of the people present were even more ugly, and they all lowered their heads and looked different, but no one walked forward, obviously they didn't want to come forward until they figured out the facts.

At this time, Hu Fei smiled and said, "I know that some of you will have a fluke mentality, what if you can't be found?" ”

Speaking of this, Hu Fei laughed even louder, and then said: "You think so, it actually makes sense. Because I can't guarantee that I'll catch everyone, and there will definitely be fish that slip through the net. But you might gamble on whether the person I caught was you, on whether you slipped through the net. ”

"If you win your bet, then you will be able to go home safely; If you lose the bet, the whole family will be in Liaodong. Think about it, there is only one chance, and if you miss it, you really don't have a choice. ”

With Hu Fei's words, someone finally moved below.

The man took a step forward directly, smiled wryly and said, "I admit it." ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at this person, and he suspected that this person was arranged by Hu Fei.

If it was really arranged by Hu Fei, Zhu Youxiao would not feel strange, after all, he had to make sure that nothing went wrong.

After this person, several more people in the crowd stepped forward.

Hu Fei looked at these people, smiled and said to one of the fat men: "Shopkeeper Liu, I really didn't expect you to be here, you are the fish that slipped through the net." But it's good that you stepped up. ”

The expression on the face of the shopkeeper Liu was very ugly at this time, with a little remorse in his chagrin.

"But shopkeeper Liu, don't be upset," Hu Fei continued to smile and said, "You'll see someone unlucky soon." Someone tried to impersonate the fish that slipped through the net, but alas, he wasn't. ”

While speaking, Hu Fei waved his hand behind him, and ordered with a cold face: "Arrest people." ”

The people who had already prepared behind him immediately rushed into the crowd and directly carried a few people out.

Those people suddenly shouted at this time, "We say, we say, we say!" ”

But it was too late, and everyone watched as they were dragged out.

Hu Fei waited until everyone came back to their senses, and then continued to say slowly: "This is the case, after you have all seen it, these people were caught in the back to confiscate the army in Liaodong, and the things in the house were confiscated. ”

"Don't think about it anymore, this matter is decided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so you don't have to think about finding anyone anymore, because no one can do it."

"You have to know who is in charge of our internal affairs office, and that is the ruler of the country! No matter who you ask, it's useless, after all, it's not us who wronged you, and you don't have a way to do things yourself. ”

Listening to Hu Fei's words, the expression on Zhu Youxiao's face was very strange, because this Hu Fei directly buttoned his hat to Zhang Guoji's brain.

Is this the consensus within the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

If this is really the case, Zhang Guoji, the foreman of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, will really not be able to do it for long. What kind of hat is put on his head, and what kind of black pot is let him carry it!

As he spoke, Hu Fei looked at the few people standing not far away, they took the initiative to stand up.

"As for you, send me all the money you have earned over the years, and double the fine. Remember, I have books here, and if you dare to give less, you will end up with the same fate as them. ”

Everyone was shocked by Hu Fei's words.

No one expected that Hu Fei, who was kind and angry on weekdays, would be in such a state at this time. This is simply a matter of human life, so ruthless!

"Do you think I'm ruthless?" Hu Fei's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and said with a smile: "I know you think so, it doesn't matter, I just want to tell you that from today onwards, the Internal Affairs Office must have rules for doing things." If anyone dares to break the rules, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Looking at the silent appearance of the businessmen below one by one, Zhu Youxiao had a smile on his face.

Sure enough, only the businessman knows the businessman best, and now it should be a stick, or a shock, then it should be a sweet date after that.

Hu Fei's method is a good game, but I don't know if it will scare the businessmen below and make them dare not come out again.

Zhu Youxiao really had this suspicion in his heart, so he was ready to continue watching.

In later generations, Zhu Youxiao heard a very famous sentence, which is in Marx's Capital.

In Capital, Marx has this to say:

If there is a twenty percent profit, capital will be ready to move;

If there is a fifty percent profit, capital will take risks;

If there is a 100% profit, capital dares to risk hanging its head;

If there is a profit of 300 percent, capital will dare to trample on all the laws of the world.

Although Zhu Youxiao felt that this might be true, it was not necessarily in fact, so he wanted to see what the scene was like today.

At least Hu Fei has already told everyone with his actions that you may lose your life if you do business with the Internal Affairs Bureau. So whether these people will choose to work with the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a big question.

However, as if to verify Zhu Youxiao's thoughts, those people did not turn their faces on the spot.

This is not surprising, after all, they are all businessmen, but Hu Fei is an official now, and it is normal for them not to dare to turn their faces.

However, there is one thing that is not normal, because these people began to laugh and pat Hu Fei's ass, obviously this is to lay the foundation for a waiting cooperation.

None of the businessmen present were stupid or stupid, on the contrary, they were all smart people who could get here. They also saw that Hu Fei was giving himself a bad shot.

So since it has been given to Xia Mawei, there will definitely be benefits in the future, so they are all waiting for this benefit. If this benefit is great enough, the previous things will naturally not matter.

It is not themselves who have been robbed or died, the key is that in the eyes of others, those people are dead. If it were for me, it would definitely not be like this, and I was not short of that money, wouldn't it be good to do business safely?

So pat Hu Fei's ass first, anyway, the sycophants don't need money. If it is done in the end, there will be many benefits; Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it doesn't matter.

So Zhu Youxiao saw this very warm scene, this time Hu Fei didn't keep a straight face, but smiled politely with everyone, as if he was that businessman again.

After some politeness, Hu Fei said with a smile: "What about us, let's talk about business now." ”

Hearing Hu Fei say this, everyone's expressions became serious, knowing that it was finally time to play meat, so they all listened quietly, waiting for Hu Fei to give him an explanation.

Hu Fei didn't speak, but nodded to the person behind him.

A few people walked up, all with stacks of paper slips in their hands. They walked through the crowd and handed out the sheets to everyone.

At this time, Hu Fei said on it: "The items needed in the palace are listed above, which are divided into several categories, and there are several sub-categories under each category. You can see who can get these things, and then you can go over there and sign up. ”

"But before signing up, I'll make things clear first, so that you don't have to wait for you to say that I lied to you." Hu Fei smiled when he said this, looking very funny.

But no one around him could laugh, so he was a little embarrassed.

However, Hu Fei didn't care, and said directly: "The things in the harem, the palace will not pay any more, and all of them will be sacrificed to the palace by you." ”

Everyone present was stunned, but no one said anything, because they knew that there must be something inside here, otherwise they wouldn't have said that.

It is impossible for His Majesty to let everyone take things for nothing, this is definitely not what His Majesty did. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs really did this, the ministers outside would not spare them.

Besides, who of these people standing here now have no one behind them to support them?

Ordinary businessmen can't come here, and everyone who can stand here is a force behind them.

So they weren't very afraid, and they wouldn't run to question Hu Fei in a panic.

Now that everyone is waiting to continue, Hu Fei did not delay, but continued: "Anyone who can obtain the qualification to contribute to the palace can jointly establish a business with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and this business will specifically donate goods to the palace. ”

"Of course, this business can also be sold out, and at the same time, the company's plaque can also be printed with a royal logo, which means that this business is dedicated to providing the best goods for the royal family."

At the same time, the business can also be marketed everywhere. I might as well put it bluntly, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will help with the affairs of this company in various places, and any problems can be solved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

"So you all know the benefits of this, not to mention anything else, just a royal logo, you should all know the value contained in it."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Hu Fei, who was talking eloquently, and had some apprehension in his heart.

This idea was developed by myself, and it was naturally borrowed from later generations, but I don't know what the effect will be. Now it's time to test the results.

Because in the original history, the civilization process of the Ming Dynasty was interrupted and suffered a lot, so these things were not formed. But on the European continent, it was formed, and that was luxury.

The so-called luxury, which turned out to be nothing more than something supplied to the royal family, became a luxury when it entered the commoner's home.

And in this land, there is naturally such a thing. For example, the palace kitchen that is often mentioned in later generations, or the secret recipe of the palace.

It's just that because it has not been passed down, many things have been destroyed in the war, so it has not formed a large-scale luxury.

However, Zhu Youxiao has also gone to see things like silk embroidery, and the price is also very staggering.

What Zhu Youxiao has to do now is to establish such a luxury brand, starting from the Imperial Palace, and then gradually expanding to various places, and finally affecting all the feudal states and neighboring countries of the Ming Dynasty.

Once that goal is achieved, the Ming Dynasty will be able to use the ability to make cheap items to loot more money.

It's just that I don't know if it will succeed now, it depends on the reaction of these businessmen.

Because after all, this is a feasible method in conjecture, but no one dares to guarantee whether it is feasible in reality, mainly to see whether these businessmen accept it.

If these businessmen choose to accept it, then they will prove that there is no problem with their policies, and they can continue to do it boldly and confidently.

If these businessmen choose not to accept it, then it proves that there is something wrong with their ideas and strategies, and it can only be said that this idea and strategy are not suitable for the Ming Dynasty and the current era. In this case, I have to think of other ways.

You must know that businessmen are the most sensitive group of people in the world, especially when faced with profits, they will only go when they feel that it is profitable; When they feel unprofitable, they back down.

Their senses are the most acute, so Zhu Youxiao wanted to see what kind of reaction they had.

"I do." Suddenly, a person in front of him stood up, and after saying this, he arched his hand in all directions, and then said loudly: "Being able to be loyal to Your Majesty is a blessing that we have cultivated for several lifetimes, and I am willing to do this." ”

"Let's not talk about whether we make money or not, even if we lose money, even if we go bankrupt, we are willing to do it. Master Hu, count me Li Wanjin as one, you also know what our family does. After that, the fabrics in the palace, whether they are used by His Majesty and the queen's mother, or those used by the palace maids, I Li Wanjin will cover them all. ”

After saying this, Li Wanjin also patted his chest and said: "I, Li Wanjin, am what I say, please be a witness together." ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at this Li Wanjin.

This is a man in his 50s with some chubby figure. With white cheeks and five official positives, it looks quite atmospheric.

He had a bookish air on him, and he didn't look like a businessman. But his name and style are proper businessmen.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Youxiao felt that this was an interesting person. As for what Li Wanjin said, Zhu Youxiao didn't believe any of them.

Would you like to dedicate all your belongings to the palace?

This kind of thing can be heard by yourself.

Looking at Li Wanjin and listening to what he said, Hu Fei's face showed a smile.

He was actually worried about this matter, but this was something His Majesty asked him to do. If things are done well, it is naturally beneficial; But if things go wrong, can you say that it is Your Majesty's idea?

You can only say that you are not doing things well on your own, and you will definitely be cleaned up when the time comes.

Now that Li Wanjin has stepped forward, this makes people very happy, and he has directly contracted the clothes, and the things here are a little interesting.

However, Hu Fei also knows this Li Wanjin, and he knows some of his family background.

This Li Wanjin is a native of Zhejiang, and he is a relatively famous figure in the entire Zhejiang businessmen in the capital. If he can take this deal, it means that the entire Zheshang group has taken this deal, which is not only conducive to consolidating his own business, but also conducive to improving his own status.

As for how to operate in the future, it needs to be discussed again.

But as soon as his words fell, someone next to him stopped doing it, so someone stood up and said, "Li Wanjin, what you said is not right." Be loyal to Your Majesty, and we people should be the ones who should do the same. ”

"Besides, you Li Wanjin only have silk, but the nobles in this palace can't wear silk all day long, right? There are a lot of good fabrics in this world, you can't just take care of yourself, you also have to think about the nobles in the palace, right? ”

This time it was a thin man who stood up and spoke, with a somewhat defiant expression on his face.

Zhu Youxiao also looked at him, but there was a smile on his face.

As for the reason, it's very simple, because Zhu Youxiao found that his idea was still effective, just look at them and grab it, if there are not enough interests in it, how can they rob it like this?

After these two people, everyone else also stood up, and at the same time said that they were willing, but the category of the request was different.

For a while, the room was noisy, and the atmosphere was very warm.

At this time, Hu Fei, who was standing on the stage, moved. I saw him press his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone, please listen to me." ”

Seeing Hu Fei speak, everyone quieted down.

Hu Fei's face was full of smiles, he knew that this time his errand was done.

With this merit, for himself, the first step is successful, and His Majesty himself can be regarded as having an explanation.

So Hu Fei said enthusiastically: "Since everyone is willing, then you should go and sign up first, leave your name and address, and at the same time leave the list of things you want to offer, and we will talk about the rest later." ”

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs will give you the time to prepare, so that everyone can prepare the samples, and then we will choose the best one from them."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Everyone agreed.

Hu Fei took these people to sign up.

Zhu Youxiao didn't follow him this time, his purpose of coming here has actually been achieved, and he already knows how things are going, so there is no need to follow up anymore.

For Zhu Youxiao, in fact, this is enough.

He left with the people, smiling as he went. In fact, before this incident, Zhu Youxiao also thought about what to do in this matter.

At first, I thought about selling this place and getting a sum of money every year. This is the simplest and most convenient method, and at the same time, the money comes relatively quickly, but the control ability is relatively weak, and it is unlikely that the internal affairs government wants to extend it.

So Zhu Youxiao gave up this method and chose the method of direct shareholding, which can be regarded as a routine of public-private partnership.

When the time comes, it will be used to make money together, and the money earned will naturally be divided proportionally. This approach naturally means that the income is more stable after a long time, and at the same time, you can earn more.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Youxiao chose this method.

It's just that if things don't go well, your own ideas will not be realized, and there will be no new effects. But judging from the current situation, the effect is still good.

After leaving the gate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Zhu Youxiao took Chen Hong and Qi Yuanfu to wander around, and also took people to buy a lot of gifts, saying that they were for Queen Zhang, showing what a good husband should look like.

After Zhu Youxiao returned to the palace, the sun was already about to set. After returning to the palace, he took a bath under the service of the palace maid, and he went to Queen Zhang's side with the gift.

After hearing that Zhu Youxiao was coming, Empress Zhang hurriedly went up to greet her.

Walking to Empress Zhang's side, he stretched out his hand to pull her up, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Baozhu doesn't have to be like this, let's all be relaxed in the future." ”

With that, he pulled Queen Zhang and walked inside.

Looking at the food on the table, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "It seems that I came at the right time." ”

Empress Zhang smiled on the side and didn't speak, His Majesty came over at this time to show that he was here to eat.

His Majesty is willing to come to his place for dinner, and this is a happy thing. So Empress Zhang waited for Zhu Youxiao to start eating.

After eating, the cold soup was removed and the warm tea was served.

The husband and wife drank tea and chatted, and Zhu Youxiao told Queen Zhang about his departure from the palace today, and also praised Zhang Guoji.

"The prince did a good job in the Internal Affairs Office, which saved a lot of money for the palace. Once this is done, there is no need to spend money on the purchase of things in the palace, all of them will be offered by those merchants, and then the big money will be able to do something else. ”

"You must know that the palace is so big and supports so many people every year, which is also a big expense."

Empress Zhang thought for a moment and said with a clever smile: "Those merchants are willing to do this, is it because they think that they will earn more outside than they spend in the palace?" So what if it's the other way around, the palace spends more, they earn less, then what do they do? ”

"Then they're bankrupt." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

He had naturally considered this matter, he had already thought about it, and the sacrifice could only meet the daily needs of the palace, and the rest still needed to be purchased; Or divide the amount of what you donate each year, and if there is a gap, then buy it.

This ensures that the thrifty emperor may still save a little, and if the wasted dividends are not enough, he needs to buy it himself.

In this way, the normal operation of the system can be ensured, and it will not collapse in the end.

But it seems to be a lot of money now, and in the future, there may not be a need to be so careful.

"Your Majesty, what is bankruptcy?" Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Youxiao and tilted her head and asked.

"Bankruptcy is insolvency," Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and explained to Empress Zhang what it meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let this kind of thing happen, and I'm not the kind of emperor who only knows how to spend money." If you don't have enough money, spend less. ”

"Your Majesty is like this, and you will definitely become a wise and martial emperor." Empress Zhang quietly patted Zhu Youxiao's ass.

Zhu Youxiao was quite useful for this, and the most intuitive manifestation was that he dragged Empress Zhang to sleep.

Naturally, this news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs could not be hidden, and what the Audit Department came up with instantly shocked the entire city of Beijing.

Countless people did not expect that the Internal Affairs Office would have such an operation, especially the officials above the officialdom.

You must know that many officials have business at home, if they really do this, what will happen to their own business?

This is in the light of self-interest. There is another point that is very crucial, and that is ideological.

This belongs to competing with the people for profit, how can the emperor earn the people's money?

This is very, very unruly, in the minds of these officials, this is absolutely impossible to do, how can the royal family do business?

It's really detrimental to Sven! What kind of system?

So the news spread throughout the officialdom in an instant, and many people began to write the question, and their intentions were obvious, thinking that this was not a good thing, and they didn't want Your Majesty to do this, Your Majesty couldn't do this, and I hoped that Your Majesty could take back your life.

In this regard, Zhu Youxiao was noncommittal. He didn't go out either, he stayed by Queen Zhang's side all day long, he wanted to see how these people were making trouble outside.

He waited for someone to jump out and see if he would threaten the merchants.

But this is not the case, those people are happy, but the real actual action is not.

As for threatening those businessmen, no one dared to go at all. Because after going through the investigation of Jinyiwei's side, we can roughly find out the details of these businessmen.

A large part of them are from the families of the nobles and relatives, and the other part is from various places. Although their capital in various places is not clear for the time being, through the statements of people from the capital, these people are big clans in various places, and they are also intertwined in the officialdom.

Whether in this era or in the future, if you can make a business outside of a province, then all of them are capable people.

In later generations, there was local protectionism, and in this era this idea is more stringent and at the same time much more extreme.

Therefore, if you can make a business outside of a province, then all of them are capable and backgrounded people. It would be even more remarkable if we could do business in the capital.

These people are not something that ordinary officials can touch. At least only those at the top of the middle can move. But there was no reaction from those people.

It's not that they don't react, it's that they don't know how to react.

In the cabinet, four cabinet scholars are discussing this matter.

Because of the compilation of the syllabus for the imperial examination, the atmosphere in the cabinet was not very good, or it was a little subtle. But no one dared to delay the business, so this time the four of them sat together again to discuss.

"I don't think it's a big deal, anyway, if they're willing to send money to the palace, let them send it." Xu Guangqi said indifferently.

"As long as you follow the rules, there's no problem." Huang Kezhang added on the side.

No one thinks it's strange for Xu Guangqi to say this, but Huang Kezhang said this, which makes people feel a little strange. Because he wasn't like that before.

In the past few days, Huang Kezhang has begun to emphasize the rules

Everyone knows that he is paving the way for his Xunzi doctrine. In particular, this kind of direct choice to do so regardless of the occasion or position, which is very inappropriate. At the same time, several people were even more wary of him.

But in any case, Huang Kezhang also made a statement, and he stood on Xu Guangqi's side.

These two people have such an attitude, only Sun Chengzong and Han Yi are left, and it depends on what the two of them want to do.

At this time, Sun Chengzong spoke, and saw him say expressionlessly: "It's just that it seems inappropriate to let the merchant use the royal logo, right?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, several people became serious, including Xu Guangqi and Huang Kezhang.
