Your Highness, as the prince of a country, you should concentrate on learning the way of being a king and governing the country, how can you be like a businessman in the market, thinking about yellow and white things? ”

Wang Shouren felt that he should stand up and bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the right path in time, and at the same time, it was also to prevent Liu Jin from continuing to go further and further on the road of making mistakes.

"Brother Liu, you are the Hanlin of the imperial court, you should be loyal to the monarch for the country, think about serving the king, and seek the well-being of the people of Limin, how can you do such a lowly thing?"

Wang Shouren's temper is still very hard, not only talking about Zhu Houzhao, but immediately criticizing Liu Jin when he turned his head, his words were very heavy, and he almost directly said that Liu Jin was disloyal and unjust.

Zhu Houzhao was about to get angry when he heard it, you little Hanlin, if it weren't for Lao Liu's face, who would have taken you out, he should have honestly followed behind, listened more, watched more, thought more, said less, did less, moved less, and even criticized Prince Ben.

Where is the money to spend if you don't make money?

I hope that the little money and food I receive every year will not be enough for the expenses of the prince for a few days.

Now Zhu Houzhao has tasted the taste of money, and he feels very panicked when he doesn't have some silver in his hand, you actually asked me to learn what is the way of being a king and governing the country.

He'd been tired of hearing these things for a long time.

The way of the king and the way of governing the country can give him silver flowers?

His father, Emperor Hongzhi, learned this since he was a child, he was poor to death, and he picked and searched for everything, and robbed two million taels of silver from the prince during the New Year, and the emperor who had been working for ten years had accumulated a million taels of silver, which was not enough to buy some land for himself.

This is still the case that he only has one woman, this prince will definitely want three palaces and six courtyards in the future, not to mention three thousand beauties, three hundred always wants, how can I do not make more money, can I still expect you to give me silver?

Zhu Houzhao immediately saw that Wang Shouren was unhappy, and now even his father supports him to make money, and you Xiaohanlin actually came over to twitter.

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao's unhappy expression, and secretly said badly, if he had a bad impression of this Wang Shouren, then Lao Wang would not want to mix in a high position in the future.

Therefore, Liu Jin also hurriedly took the first step and said: "Brother Wang, what you said is wrong, although Your Highness and I are discussing how to make money, but this is actually the way to govern the country, and it is also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the people of Li." ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his little eyes suddenly narrowed.

That's right, that's right, if I, the prince, have no money and a bad life, how can I have the heart to govern the country, only if I live well, everyone can live a good life and have the energy to govern the country.

Lao Liu can still speak, and what he says is good, and it can be said to be the way to govern the country even if it is a matter of making money.

"Oh?"

"Listen to me."

When Wang Shouren heard this, he immediately looked disbelieving, and felt that Liu Jin's cheekiness was really thick enough, but he still humbly asked for advice, after all, the other party was a son of a master.

"Follow me~"

Liu Jin nodded, and then looked around the busy construction site in front of him, and quickly locked on a person, and said to Wang Shouren and Zhu Houzhao.

The two of them were confused, and then followed curiously.

Soon, the three of them came to a work shed, Liu Jin pointed to a laborer who was working hard in front of him and asked Wang Shouren: "Brother Wang, what do you think he needs most for him?" ”

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Wang Shouren immediately pondered, he thought for a while and said, "What he needs most should be money." ”

Liu Jin nodded slightly, noncommittal, and then said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, what do you think he needs most?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was also thinking about this question at this time, the laborer in front of him was dressed in tatters, and he knew that he was a poor man at a glance, for a poor person, what do you think he needs most?

"I think what he needs should be money."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and replied the same as Wang Shouren.

"This brother, this brother~"

Liu Jin listened to the answers of the two and did not answer directly, but called the laborer over.

"The villain Li Shuisheng has seen all the nobles~"

Li Shuisheng didn't have much knowledge, and couldn't help that Zhu Houzhao in front of him was His Royal Highness the Prince, but he could see that these people in front of him were all nobles, and they had already been strictly banned from building palaces in the palace, and they could only move here in the Qianqing Palace.

Because there are too many nobles in the palace, and it is in the palace, not only can you not walk around, but you must also be respectful when you see people, and you can't have the slightest rudeness.

"Li Shuisheng, where are you from? How's it going at home? ”

Liu Jin smiled and nodded, signaling that the other party was not more restrained, and asked after thinking about it.

"If you go back to the nobles, the villain is from Tianjin, with two elders in the family and five sons and four daughters."

Li Shuisheng replied respectfully, and it can be known from his words that his burden is definitely very heavy, with two old people on top and nine children to feed below.

"What do you think you need most?"

Liu Jin nodded, and then asked.

"The villain... What the villain needs most is work, and with a job like this, he is satisfied to be able to support his family. ”

What do you need most, Li Shuisheng was also slightly stunned, these nobles are really full and have nothing to do, ask such a question, but think about it carefully.

I need too many things, I need food to feed my family, I need money to build a house, I have too many people in my family, I need too many things, too much.

However, he himself is like countless ordinary people, although humble, but also self-esteem, but also to be respected, this kind of respect, is not to count on other people's charity to obtain, but to fight through his own hands, so after thinking about it, he feels that what he needs most is a job like the one in front of him.

Now this job, although it is very tiring, I have to work almost five hours a year, but I can get three taels of silver every month, and I have three meals a day, and there is meat for every meal.

He never dreamed of such a job before, but because he participated in the construction of Tianjin Port and repaired the Beijing-Tianjin cement road when he was here in Tianjin, he was also recruited to build the palace and got such a job.

He has already calculated, as long as he can work until the end of the year, he will have enough money to go back to his hometown to build a good big house, so that the family can live comfortably, and he can also have money to tell his eldest son about family affairs.

Now he is a capable person in the eyes of the villagers, relatives and friends, he can earn three taels of silver a month, and he can also participate in the construction of the palace.

So he felt that what he needed most was a job, a dignified job that allowed him to live.

"Work?"

Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren were slightly dumbfounded, but they didn't expect his answer to be this.

"Don't you need money?"

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and asked.

"Of course, everyone needs money, but how much money can be satisfied? Human desires are endless, and money is not omnipotent. ”

Li Shuigen nodded, and then said: "The villain's family is poor, and he really needs money, but the villain also knows that this money can only be spent steadily and with peace of mind if he earns it with his own hands." ”

"Now working here, I have three taels of silver a month, and three meals a day, and I can do things for today, which is enough."

Hearing Li Shuisheng's words, Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren both fell into deep thought.

Three taels of silver a month plus three meals a day can satisfy him, which shows that if this condition is given to other ordinary people, they can also meet it.

"Your Highness, Brother Wang, in fact, the requirements of ordinary people are very simple, they can support the family with their own hands."

"Therefore, this way of governing the country is not just to shout above the court for the well-being of the people and make decisions for the common people, but to clearly know what the people need, and how to get as many people as possible to obtain this need."

Liu Jin looked at the two of them, thought about it, and said slowly.

"Although His Highness and I are talking about how to make money, this is indeed not wrong, Your Highness and I have also earned a lot of silver from it, but while His Highness and I are making silver, we are also making more people to earn silver together, and at the same time, we have also let ordinary people like Li Shuigen get a dignified job."

"Xishan Coal Industry now employs nearly 10,000 people, and their income can basically reach three taels of silver a month, which means that there are 10,000 families like Li Shuigen who can live well."

"Tianjin Port, Tianjin Shipyard, Tianjin Cement Factory, Tianjin Garment Factory, as well as Miyun Iron Factory, Changlu Salt Factory, these are all industries of me and Your Highness, each industry recruits tens of thousands of workers, and more recruits tens of thousands of workers, and each worker's income can reach at least three taels of silver per month."

"It can be calculated, because in these industries run by His Royal Highness and me, there are at least 100,000 people who can have a stable job, be able to support their families, and live with dignity just in terms of recruitment."

"If it is regarded as related industries and workshops, etc., at least it can also drive the employment of hundreds of thousands of people, and allow hundreds of thousands of ordinary people like Li Shuigen to get jobs, and behind every Li Shuigen is a family."

"You can do the math, how many people will benefit from this?"

"Now the labor needs in the Beijing-Tianjin area is very huge, and countless people who were previously poor can support their families with their own hands."

"Because of me and Your Highness, so many people benefit, isn't this a contribution to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Isn't this the way to rule the country for the king?"

Liu Jin's words were sonorous and powerful, and he straightened his chest when he spoke.
