"As long as His Royal Highness lends his name to the students and becomes a partner of the silk quilt, he can earn a lot of money steadily and earn fame without having to contribute capital or operate." Yan Chengjin Road.

Zhu Houzhao looked suspicious: "Is there such a good thing in the world?" ”

Zhu Houzhao thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that it was wrong, borrowing the name of the palace, wouldn't he sell silk quilts under the banner of the palace, and when the time came, the father and the emperor would blame him, and he would not beat the palace to death?

There was a hint of shrewdness in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Lao Gao, you are pitting this palace and want this palace to be a scapegoat!" ”

Yan Chengjin looked like you didn't pull it down: "Your Highness's words are wrong, the weather is cold, and what Your Majesty is most concerned about at the moment is how the people spend the winter, Your Highness, why don't the people wear cotton jackets and eat rice like Your Highness?" That's because there is no silver, if Ning Guogong weaves silk quilts on a large scale, he has to hire a large number of workers, and these people can exchange silver for their own labor, and with silver, everyone can buy clothes and food rations for the winter. ”

The so-called economic base determines the upper strata......

Now that sweet potatoes have not yet been introduced, it is still a bit far away to survive this winter by planting sweet potatoes.

The Ming Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Hongzhi was not poor, and even very rich.

It's just that the wine and meat of Zhumen stink, there are frozen bones on the road, and the silver is in the pockets of the gentry, and they can let the people survive the winter.

When they saw something they liked, they were naturally willing to pay for silver, just like Zhou Shou spent thirty taels of silver to buy a silk quilt.

The rich are not afraid of being expensive, but they are afraid that the money is not worth it.

The rich paid money to buy things for the merchants, and the merchants hired the poor to work, and in this way, the whole cycle of the capital came alive.

Hearing him say this, Zhu Houzhao also figured out the key point: "Why didn't Bengong think of it!" Even if you take the name of this palace, your father will beat it, and this palace will carry it! ”

Yan Chengjin looked disgusted: "His Royal Highness's name has been scolded by others, and the student wants to use the name "Zhao Houzhu". ”

A few days ago, he won the battle, and now is the time when Zhao Houzhu is popular, His Majesty knows that he is the prince, but the people don't know, those gentry must rush to buy it.

"Such a good thing, why do we still need the Duke of Laning?" Zhu Houzhao said unhappily.

"Your Highness forgot, mass production, how much silk does it take? If Ning Guogong is pulled, the silk will not need money, and Ning Guogong can also pay the workers' money by the way, wouldn't it save a lot of silver?

It's just that the student is not familiar with Ning Guogong, so he has to go down and say it. ”

I worked hard to tell Zhu Houzhao that the primary purpose was to let Zhu Houzhao join the gang, the intermediate purpose was to let Zhu Houzhao say, and the ultimate goal was of course to let Zhu Houzhao take the blame.

If something happens, you must not offend Ning Guogong.

Zhu Houzhao was happy: "Old Gao! This palace knows why Master Yan is so famous! ”

Yan Chengjin said: "His Royal Highness can be divided with Ning Guogong thirty-seven, the cost of this silk quilt will never exceed five taels of silver, he wants thirty percent, His Royal Highness wants seventy percent, if His Highness still has a conscience, you can divide the seventy percent into half of the students, if there is no conscience, the students do not force it." ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a clear eye: "This palace hates people who have no conscience the most, and the dog emperor has no conscience!" The palace made suggestions to help the army capture Helan Mountain, and rewarded the merits, but there was no part of the palace. ”

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao felt very angry.

Yan Chengjin thought about it, although Zhu Houzhao is smart, he is not deeply involved in the world, and he is not necessarily Ning Guogong's opponent.

Reluctantly taught him an extra trick, and he must let him set up a note, with a note, he can't rely on the debt, this Wang Busui is very experienced, let Wang Busui bring it.

Wang Busui rolled his eyes in fright and fainted.

Zhu Houzhao patted Yan Chengjin on the shoulder: "Lao Gao, this palace used to wonder why your character is named 'Lao Gao', Gao!" How to get to Ningguo Mansion? ”

Yan Chengjin pointed to Wang Busui who was stunned, and Zhu Houzhao impatiently dragged Wang Busui and went out with a cigarette.

A few days later, Yan Chengjin heard that a large cloth workshop outside the capital recruited a large number of workers, and gave five cents a day, as long as people with quick hands and feet wanted, it is estimated that Zhu Houzhao negotiated.

Suddenly, the exiles of Jingshi disappeared overnight.

Ning Guogong should want to drive out a large number of goods before the cold winter comes, and the displaced people are willing to work if they are fed, and he will naturally not let go of such a cheap worker.

A few days passed, and the first batch was listed and Zhao Houzhu was hung up.

Suddenly, the news that the great literati Zhao Houzhu did not write books and sold quilts spread all over the capital.

On this day, Li Dongyang's sedan chair passed through the east gate and asked the sedan chair driver to stop, and every winter, he passed by here and gave some money to the homeless people.

He was a soldier and his father was a soldier on the frontier, so he knew how difficult winter could be for the poor.

After getting off the sedan chair, the streets were empty, and there was no trace of the homeless.

"Where have all the displaced people gone?"

The sedan chair man said: "My lord, I heard that a big cloth workshop was opened on the outskirts of the city, and five cents a day was given, and the displaced people went there. ”

After careful questioning, Li Dongyang learned that a quilt has been popular in the capital recently, and he wants to buy thirty taels of silver, isn't this a fish and meat people?

When he returned to the house, he changed his clothes, inquired about the cloth shop that sold silk quilts, and went into the store to touch the fabrics, the upper layer was cotton, and the lower layer was silk.

"If the guest officer likes it, just lie down and try it, there is a bed here." Xiao Er was extremely enthusiastic.

Li Dongyang hugged a quilt, lay on the bed and tried it, but it was extremely warm, and it was unusually light, covering his body, it was comfortable everywhere, and he fell asleep for a while.

He has been working hard for political affairs all year round, and he hasn't slept so soundly for a long time.

………………

Warm Pavilion,

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the degree of use presented by King Shou, asked for 900 begging boats, a car for the two of the military academy, and hired a coachman for four taels of silver each, just this Zhao Hou Zhu card quilt, it cost 500 taels of silver?

Zhao Houzhu?

How does it feel familiar and strange?

"What is this Zhao Hou Zhu card, why is it so expensive?!" Emperor Hongzhi asked Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing said: "According to King Shou, this Zhao Houzhu card was sold, and one piece cost thirty taels of silver, and the owner saw his face and discounted it, five hundred taels, and gave twenty pieces!" ”

"I asked you where the merchant produces, and you have to collect thirty taels of silver!" Emperor Hongji was a little angry.

Xiao Jing said hesitantly: "A few days ago, the prince used the name of Zhao Houzhu............"

Hearing this, everything is clear, do you need to say it, Emperor Hongzhi ordered someone to call Zhu Houzhao.

Taking advantage of the fact that Zhu Houzhao had not yet come, Emperor Hongzhi said: "This Zhao Houzhu brand is absolutely not allowed, as for other uses, what do you think?" ”

Since ancient times, the royal family has been a feudal family, and it has spent a lot of money.

In fact, it didn't cost that much, and the vassal kings liked to ask for a lot of begging boats, but only a few actually used them, and the extra boats they used to load illicit salt.

It is equivalent to the imperial court helping them build a ship and giving it to them as a means of transportation.

Even, begging for a large number of carriages, and then selling them to merchants in the market in exchange for silver taels.

There are countless examples of such practices, and the people are unbearable.

Emperor Hongzhi had seen many of them when he was the crown prince, and he felt that this wind could not be long.

Li Dongyang said: "King Shou is a vassal, should be handled according to the specifications of King Yi, 600 ships, 300 cars, the palace people are self-sufficient, the military academy is four people and a car, each car is given two taels or four dollars, the minister implores, in the future, it will be implemented according to this example!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "What Li Gong said is not unreasonable, and it will be implemented according to this example in the future. ”
