Chapter 1142: Father, Fifth Brother Went to the New World to Make Money
After confirming that Zhu Cihuan had successfully run away to the New World, Zhu Cihong finally breathed a sigh of relief - this kid finally went the right way!
If he runs back to Tianfu City to find Emperor Chongzhen to cry, Zhu Cihong will really have a headache! If their father and son cried and begged Emperor Zhu and asked him to help with the bottom, what would it be?
The deficit of more than one million is not too big a problem for Zhu Cihong. But he absolutely can't cover for Zhu Cihuan...... Because once this precedent is set, how will the clan start a business in the future? How else to operate? If you earn it, you will find the emperor to cover it? There is no such thing!
Only go around once, don't you take it as an example?
Hehe, next time, there will be a next time, if you don't take it as an example, you can always say it!
Moreover, a back-up will form a strong "bottom-up expectation" for the market, which will greatly improve the credibility of the clan members, so the hole will inevitably be bigger next time!
If Zhu Cihong gave Zhu Cihuan a cover, then in order to avoid the next larger-scale incident, he would have to strictly restrict the clan's businessβand restricting the clan is a politically correct thing, so it is easy to form a routine.
Because the members of the clan are born with too many advantages over ordinary people, success is within reach. If they are not restricted, it will block the road to promotion to a considerable extent.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's policy of raising the clan as pigs was actually in line with the people's will, and it was also in line with the tradition of restricting the powerful formed since the Song Dynasty.
Just imagine, if the Ming Dynasty did not restrict the clan, then how many big bureaucrats, big capitalists, and big army leaders would be the more than 100,000 phoenix sons and dragon grandchildren who were ranked in the jade before the Jiashen disaster?
Presumably, no one really thinks that these powerful people who control the military, political and economic power of the country will have less social wealth and resources than a group of clans in captivity, right?
Just look at the "Liu" of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the existence of "Liu" not only occupies a large number of social resources, but also forms a great obstacle to the change of dynasty at that time!
Even the Qing Dynasty, which had restrictions on the business and property purchase of banner people in history, could still form a royal cabinet in the last years!
In contrast, before the Jiashen Disaster, Emperor Chongzhen had neither "Zhu everywhere" to count on, nor an imperial cabinet to rely on...... And hundreds of thousands of dragon sons and grandsons who were raised as "pigs" were killed and took on the historical responsibility of ruining the world, what a good thing!
If you want to change to red eyebrows and yellow scarves, can you kill Liu Bang's dragon sons and grandsons?
With an enemy of the level of Li Zicheng and Dolgon, even if they try their best, they can't kill characters like Liu Xiu and Liu Bei!
If Zhu Cihong was just an ordinary scholar, he definitely didn't want those Tianhuang nobles who shouted that they were born with a golden soup spoon to compete with him for a very limited upward channel......
But Zhu Cihong is the emperor and the head of this group of dragon sons and grandsons, of course, I hope that this group of dragon sons and grandsons can thrive in all fields!
Of course, all fields include industry and commerce...... After all, the time of capitalism has come.
But capitalism is "lost" after all, even if it is a dragon son and grandson born with a golden soup spoon, that is, the probability of success is a little higher than others, but failure is still a high probability event! Even the first commercial activity of Emperor Zhu Youzhen in his life did not escape the high probability of loss, and he lost all his money!
When Zhu Cihong came to Renshou Palace to report to him about Zhu Cihuan's escape, he was sighing there, and when he saw the "first filial son in the world" coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Has the rebel been caught?" β
"Rebel?" Zhu Cihong looked at Chongzhen in surprise, "Who do you say is the rebel?" β
Chongzhen waved his hand, "It's not about you, I'm talking about Cihuan's disobedience and unfilial piety!" β
What the? Zhu Cihuan is disobedient and unfilial? Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "Father, what did you say?" The fifth brother is a filial son! β
Emperor Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said: "He lost all my pension money, is he still a filial son?" β
"Father's anger is relieved, he already knows that he is wrong."
"Know it's wrong?" Chongzhen looked at his son, "That my silver ......"
Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "He has already gone to the American Mansion to make money, and when he earns money, he will return it to you." β
"Go, go to the Americas to make money......" Chongzhen jumped up violently, raising his hand and pointing outside, "He, he, he ran away?" β
Zhu Cihong shook his head, "Father, the fifth brother can't be regarded as running, right?" β
"Not a run?" Chongzhen was so angry that he trembled, "If you don't pay off your debts, you will pay back my money, and you will run away...... I don't have such a son! I'm going to expel him from the clan!" β
Zhu Cihong hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no...... The father is going to remove his ancestry, and the 250,000 taels will never come back! β
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhu Cihong: "You, do you mean that my 250,000 taels can come back?" β
"Erchen didn't say that," Zhu Cihong shook his head, "but you should always give the fifth brother a chance, right?" How can he say that he is also your own son...... Do you really want to push him to death for the sake of a mere 250,000 taels of his clan? Tiger poison doesn't eat children! β
"You ......" Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself: You have come out now to pretend to be a good person! If you're willing to help him, will he run away?
Zhu Cihong said again: "Father, there are so many sons of you, it is impossible for everyone to have a suitable official position, and there will definitely be other sons who want to engage in business in the future." But the shopping mall is sinister, and it is inevitable to lose money, if you lose all your clan registration once, who will dare to learn from the fifth brother in the future? β
"Who else wants to learn from this rebel?" Chongzhen glared at Zhu Cihong, "I don't have so much pension money for them!" β
Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "You shouldn't have given the money to the fifth brother...... Erchen, acting king, and Luokun county king are all well managed, if you want to invest money, we will invest here!
The fifth brother is a fledgling and doesn't understand anything, so you dare to invest 250,000 taels in him, so it's normal to invest at a loss, normal, nothing. β
"You, you...... You're angry! Chongzhen stomped his feet, "I'll give you disobedient sons angry sooner or later!" β
Zhu Cihong hurriedly arched his hand: "Father, the emperor is angry, your 51st birthday is just around the corner, don't make the fifth brother angry." β
Chongzhen sighed, a sad expression appeared on his face, and said to Zhu Cihong: "If you are angry again, you are also my son...... Your fifth brother has had a hard life since he was a child, and he lost his mother not long after he was born, and then he was captured by the Liukou, and stayed with the Liukou for many years before he was released.
Now I'm going to the New World again, and I don't know if I have a chance to come back in this life! Cihong, you give a message to the people over there in the New World, so that they must take good care of him. β
It turns out that Chongzhen is still a good father......
Zhu Cihong nodded, "Father, don't worry, the sons will make arrangements." β
......
Nagasaki City, Japan.
This port city at the westernmost point of the Japanese archipelago facing China suddenly crowded with Chinese who came from Shanghai to explore the New World in the months between the end of the thirteenth year and the beginning of the fourteenth year of Hongxing.
It's been a little since the New World opened the House of the Americas, but it has been tepid, and there has been no wave of immigration. Even if many Chinese crossed the sea, most of them were coaxed by the Daming and the United States authorities, and very few spontaneously.
But during this time, for some reason, thousands of Chinese spontaneously left the richest water town in China, the richest water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and crossed the sea to Japan, crowded into the small city of Nagasaki, waiting for a sea ship to the New World.
This made the Japanese on the island of Kyushu a little moved-could it be that there was an opportunity to get rich in the New World?
Have you discovered mountains of gold and silver? Or did you find particularly warm, moist and fertile land? Otherwise, why didn't these people of China even live in the rich hometown of Jiangnan and want to go to the New World?
At the beginning of the fourteenth year of Hongxing, even more shocking news reached Kogura Gongfang Xu Masayuki - a prince of the Great Ming Dynasty had also arrived in Nagasaki, ready to go to the New World after a little rest!
