Chapter 169: Capital increase

For these feudal kings, the annual interest rate of 20% is not too much, and most of them put seal money in their fiefdoms, and they have not done less business when donkeys roll and double their profits in a year.

But it was a business that could not be put on the table, and the scale could not be very large, and it was often poked in the back by scholars.

At this time, there is a business that can not only please the emperor, but also have a stable and large income, how can you not applaud.

After all the hoops, the conference moved on to the final and most critical agenda: additional investment.

In the original history, in October of this year, the Jin Congress entered the customs in a big way, wanting the land of Gyeonggi, which is known as the change of its own country.

Because of the arrival of Zhu Youzhen, history has undergone some changes, at least the tiger has not fled westward, and Mongolia in the north has not all fallen to the Jin State.

But even so, Zhu Youzhen did not dare to guarantee that Huang Taiji would not enter the customs, and after more than a year of economic blockade, the power of the Jin State had been damaged to a certain extent, and they urgently needed the replenishment of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the open or private smuggling trade is not accessible, Zhu Youzhen feels that it is more likely that Huang Taiji will take risks, and the outbreak time of the change is likely to be advanced.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen still needs a large sum of silver to reorganize the armament for war.

As soon as they heard about the additional investment, the vassal kings' mood of gratitude to Dade just now cooled down a lot, and they became reserved again.

"Whether to continue to invest in additional investment is completely voluntary, I definitely don't force it, you all think about it, don't rush to make a decision now, and if you don't make additional investment, the shares that were invested before will continue to be retained, and there will be dividends."

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he stopped talking, and talking too much at this time would be half the effort.

It was a silent Banjue again, but the time was not very long, just a cup of tea, and His Royal Highness King Fu took the lead in standing up.

"Your Majesty, I will vote another 200,000 taels!"

Unlike other vassal kings, because of the early years of competing with His Majesty today for the crown prince, in the line of Guangzong, he has always been a thorn-like existence, and there is such a mother who refuses to accept his fate, and King Fu's situation is also very difficult.

And since Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, he has been beaten a lot, and this beauty offering incident is a good example.

Although he finally stopped at Concubine Zheng becoming a monk, Zhu Changxun was still frightened, thinking that he was more auspicious this time.

So when Zhu Youzhen said that he would make up his mind to keep up, because for Zhu Changxun, the 200,000 taels were not silver at all, but determination, the determination to save his life.

Zhu Changxun raised two fingers and finished speaking, and the scene was silent again, the vassal kings are not stupid, it is better not to participate at this time.

"Okay, Uncle Fuwang, it's really my good uncle, I have written down this love, and I have also written it down for my father."

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

When Zhu Changxun heard this, he suddenly felt a gust of wind in his back, and said in his heart: This little nephew really still remembers the events of the year.

Zhu Changxun then felt how wise the decision he made today was, and silently said in his heart that he couldn't listen to his mother in the future, and it was better to follow this young man closely.

This little nephew is not like his eldest nephew and short-lived brother, this guy has a bit of a grudge.

"It should, it should!"

Zhu Changxun bowed and said.

"Make a note to His Royal Highness King Fu, 200,000 taels!" Zhu Youzhen said to Cao Huachun, who was standing aside, and then asked below: "Is there any continued investment today?" If not, we'll disperse today. ”

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave, but before he could leave, there was a commotion below.

In fact, putting aside Zhu Youzhen's identity as the son of heaven, for this kind of investment with stable income, the profit of one percent a year is already very good.

Although the industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty had a certain scale at this time, there was still a lack of investment channels in terms of the wealthy merchants.

Moreover, for the vassal kings, the investment channels are narrower, and the ordinary official eunuchs do not dare to partner with them to do business.

In recent decades, it has become more and more difficult to buy a house and land, because most of the fields near the fiefdom are almost bought by them, such as King Fu, half of the land of the political envoy of Henan Province is about to become his family.

Because of the troubles during the Xiaoice River in recent years, the drought in the north has been repeated, and the land purchase has also become a loss-making business, which makes the clan kings north of the Yangtze River also worried.

So from the perspective of investment alone, this year's two-percent profitable business is really good.

So, afraid that the Son of Heaven would not be able to see his loyalty when he left, the vassal kings didn't care about the appearance in front of the palace one by one, and they all shouted loudly.

"I'll give 100,000 taels!"

"I'll give you 50,000 taels!"

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he quietly made the butt that had not left again, and said to the vassal kings with a smile.

"Don't worry, come one by one."

...........

In the afternoon, when the lights were in hand, Zhu Youzhen was in the permanent courtyard of Xishan, and Cao Huachun walked in with a registration book.

"Back to the emperor, a total of 2.3 million taels."

Zhu Youzhen took the booklet, flipped through it casually, and grinned unconsciously: "This vassal king is really rich." ”

"Who said no, the emperor, you don't know, after you left, the king of Nafu also threatened that His Majesty gave us such a good business, and it would be a fool not to invest more, and when he returned home, he would sell the property, and His Majesty would still invest in a good business."

As an old man in the palace, Cao Huachun naturally knew about the attack case and the red pill case back then, so he was also very concerned about King Fu's every move.

"Well, this Fu Wang is a general knowledge, and he looks rude and clumsy, but he is better than his clever mother."

Zhu Youzhen closed the booklet, and told Cao Huachun to watch the vassal kings implement the silver, and sent it away.

After Cao Huachun left, Zhu Youzhen opened the booklet again and began to check the investment amount of each vassal king, and his heart was relieved.

One of the important reasons why Zhu Youzhen is committed to the development of industry is to guide the direction of private investment.

Let the local tyrants and inferior gentry not stare at the fields around them all day long, and don't seem to know how the money is spent except for buying houses and land.

Let them spend more money on the development of industry and commerce, so as to fundamentally curb land annexation and give the small people more ways to live.

In his previous life, Zhu Youzhen was born in economics and knew that the development of capital has its own laws, and when more profits can rise in industry and commerce, capital will naturally flow into it.

This kind of adaptation is more effective than simply relying on coercive force, but the process may be longer.
