Chapter 584: Wrestling with Many Parties (10)

The wind blew in through the window, and because the door was closed, it ended up spinning around the house and disappeared. One?? The shouts of the merchants on the street came from afar, and the room became more and more silent.

Brother Shou didn't know what Shen Rui's words had come to mind, and his face was cloudy.

Shen Rui always sat upright, waiting for the following.

The rivalry between Wenchen, relatives, and eunuchs has begun to emerge, and if Liu Jin appears on the stage, with the characters of Wang Hua and Wang Shouren, what awaits them may still be a far degrading fate.

Shen Rui always wanted to find a safe place for his mentor to spend this period.

Taihu Lake may not be the best place, but in the end, it can allow teachers to show their talents.

During the Zhengde period in history, there were many wars, including the little Tatar prince knocking on the side, Liu Liu, Liu Qimin, the rebellion of the Ning Domain, and small-scale battles against the Japanese and the Portuguese...... Except for the war against Mongolia, the navy is very useful in the rest of the wars!

Qi Jiguang can train the Qi family army, in Shen Rui's heart, Wang Shouren can train a Wang family army!

Of course, that's all for later, now that there is a war in the imperial court, there are constant disasters in the local area, and the treasury is tight, it is not easy to leave a seed of a naval army.

After a long time, Brother Shou suddenly said: "Zhang Yongxiao came up with a few boxes of Songjiang cotton cloth, and the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and I all feel good about it." ”

Shen Rui was a little confused, and Brother Shou's thinking jumped too much, so why did he pull it on Songjiang cotton again.

Still, he replied, "...... I didn't know it was the emperor before, but I actually came back with some small gifts, and some Songjiang cotton. Today, due to the invitation of Zhang Ergongzi, I wanted to ask him to transfer your ...... on your behalf It's just that now, this thing is too simple, and it's disrespectful to enter......"

A big smile appeared on Brother Shou's face: "I know that you won't leave me with something!" It's okay, it's okay, you still think I'm Zhang Hui's distant cousin, and things and I are. What is simple is not simple, just fun. I was a little curious, "What kind of fun thing is it?" ”

Shen Rui really carefully selected things with Brother Shou along the way, and said with a smile at the moment: "There are mostly delicate clay figures, machine dolls, self-contained boats and other worthless small things, the emperor should not dislike them." ”

Brother Shou's curiosity was attacked, and he almost wanted to ask someone to take it up and take a look at it immediately, but soon, he controlled it again, coughed, regained his serious face, and said seriously: "The loss of this rebellion in Songjiang is not small, and it should be exempted from paying taxes for one year." The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother of Songjiang cotton cloth are very good and can be set as tribute. ”

Shen Rui was overjoyed, Brother Shou recognized the raising of a water army in Taihu Lake in disguise.

The people who were robbed and taken captive by the bandits could be returned, but the money stolen by the "Japanese bandits" could not and could not be returned.

Brother Shou acquiesced to the use of this silver money as military funds, and at the same time exempted the people of Songjiang from taxes and fixed tribute as compensation.

The tribute itself is not cost-effective, and it is inevitable to suffer losses when doing business with the palace. However, once it is set as a tribute, Songjiang cotton cloth will immediately become famous all over the world, and there will be more merchants, and Songjiang weavers and people will naturally benefit.

Shen Rui hurriedly got up and thanked him: "I thank the emperor for the emperor's grace for Songjiang's father." ”

After Brother Shou was bowed to him, he pulled him up with a smile, and suddenly asked: "I heard that the He family forcibly occupied your family's two weaving factories in the early years?" ”

Shen Rui's back was slightly cold, and he said in his heart that this question was not over yet, and the emperor asked about the case, even if there was no reason to hide the family matter, Shen Rui was embarrassed, and simply told the original thing in three or two sentences, and said: "I don't dare to hide it from the emperor, I was not annoyed at the beginning, but after reading the book, I also knew that it was not the He family but also the side family." The two Shen He families have a lot of contacts,...... A few years ago, I also found it back in other matters. ”

Brother Shou raised his eyebrows, and did not ask what he had found back, but said: "The He family is also the in-laws of the Shen family, but they have repeatedly calculated the Shen family, and this time the Shen family is even more trying to put the Shen family to death, how do you deal with them?" ”

Shen Ruizheng said: "His family has violated the law of the country, so naturally it will be dealt with by the law of the country." The Shen family believes in the law of the country and believes in the emperor's holy judgment. ”

Shou Geqi said: "You just said that it is necessary to remove the roots of the grass, why did you get softer when you arrived at the He family?" ”

Shen Rui shook his head and said, "These two things are completely different. Naturally, I can try my best to complain in front of the emperor and exaggerate the mistakes of the He family in order to take revenge on the He family, but how is that different from the He family who fell into the well and took advantage of the fire to rob it? The Shen family disdained it. is still the same sentence, the He family has not violated the law of the country, and the Shen family can defeat him by means in business. If the He family violates the law of the country, it should be dealt with by the law of the country, and the Shen family will obey everything. ”

Although Brother Shou pouted lightly and said "pedantic", he still admired the gentleman in his heart.

"I will return the weaving factory to you, and your weaving factory will weave tribute. Weave some good cloth with me. Brother Shou leaned back in the chair and lifted Erlang's legs, looking like a lazy young man again.

Shen Rui was also quietly relieved, and was just about to say goodbye, but was stopped by Brother Shou impatiently, so he only arched his hand and said, "Thank you for Emperor Longen." also thanked the emperor for his brother Shen Jin. ”

Brother Shou glared, "Are you going to be a gentleman to the end?" That's what your mother left you! ”

Shen Rui lowered his head and said: "Emperor Xie is sympathetic, but the aunt has already divided the family property at the beginning, and half of it is exactly what the aunt means with cousin Jin." ”

Brother Shou looked unhappy, his fingers knocked on the table, and after a while, he said: "That's it, Shen Jin is also the champion appointed by his father." ”

Speaking of his father, Brother Shou's voice also deepened.

Shen Rui knew that he had a deep relationship with Emperor Hongzhi's father and son, and in a few days it would be the day when Zigong Palace entered the mausoleum, although Emperor Hongzhi had been dead for more than 100 days, but the people of the time still thought that entering the earth was the real way to say goodbye, and it was very sad to think about Brother Shou for a while.

Shen Rui said in a low voice: "When I was young, I was stubborn, and I was not loved by my father and grandmother. I obeyed my mother's orders, which was filial piety, and I didn't want to live up to her motherly heart. Now that I have achieved a little success in reading, I can gain a foothold without relying on her planning, and she will only be happy for me. ”

As an heir, Shen Rui should call Sun his aunt, but this time, he didn't call him that, but used his mother, and he felt true from the bottom of his heart.

Brother Shou couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, he nodded slowly, and said, "I know that you are persuading me. I understand that, too. Father's ...... It's also reassuring...... Therefore, I want to govern this world well, and make my father happy......"

His voice changed from low to clear, his expression improved, his eyes shone with determination, and a smile appeared on his face.

Shen Rui also smiled heartily.

Brother Shou's emotions came and went quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed that the whole person was relaxed again, picked up a small osmanthus cake and threw it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "I bought it from the Guo family shop on West Street, his cake is better than the one in the palace." Another cow drank two sips of tea, pouted and said: "Shen Rui, your teahouse, the business is so bad, who will eat such bad tea and dim sum?" ”

Shen Rui couldn't cry or laugh, this healed too quickly, seeing that Brother Shou pointed to the dim sum to let him, but he didn't move the dim sum, only took the tea cup to moisten his mouth, and said with a smile: "I didn't mean to make a lot of money from this shop." The shop is open here, the left and near are Hanlin, I want to come to the emperor and know, the capital is not easy to live in, the Hanlin people are the most poor, the shop sells those expensive and good, no one will come to buy, it is better to sell cheaper, and it is also convenient for Hanlin. Actually, I didn't lose much money, but I just made less money. ”

Brother Shou squinted at Shen Rui and said, "Your grandfather...... Isn't your biological grandfather a Jiangnan giant? I heard that your biological mother is also good at farming, her own family is well run, and she still has the spare energy to pave the way for the construction of bridges in the township, but you don't know anything about business? I still think that one day he will let you take care of the royal property and fill the treasury for me. ”

The people who collect money for the emperor are all eunuchs, Shen Rui didn't want to give up his life to ask for this errand, and said with a dry smile: "The emperor thinks highly of me, when my aunt went, I was still young and didn't learn anything." ”

Brother Shou broke another piece of dim sum and filled it in his mouth, and said in a somewhat muffled voice: "Now that the inner library is empty, I can't do anything I want to." I thought that my father was a big event, and the Zhang family dedicated two leopards to a separate garden in the next year, which was very interesting, and jumped extremely high, stronger than wolves, but the imperial garden was narrow and could not run away. It's just that the Queen Mother said that she would prepare for next year's wedding, and the money in the inner treasury couldn't be moved. ”

He picked up the teacup and blew it, took a sip, sighed comfortably, raised his eyebrows and said: "The Zhang family said that they would dedicate a separate garden to come out, and I heard that they have asked people to go to the suburbs to see the land, and they will be built according to the regulations." Yi Zhen said that there is a good land boundary in Xiyuan, and there is still a place where Hufang Eagle Fang is left in the previous dynasty, which is repaired and repaired, and it is cheap to raise some animals, and it is close to the palace. ”

Shen Rui's eyelids jumped, Xiyuan, raising leopards, leopard room?! He doesn't remember when the leopard house was built in history, and the trance was indeed a matter of the early years of Zhengde, but did the Zhang family get involved? I can't remember the facts.

But now that the Zhang family has just been slapped in the face, the little emperor is also very obvious that he does not stand on the side of the Zhang family, if the Zhang family is in a hurry, it is reasonable to offer some silver to repair the place to make the little emperor happy.

Brother Shou was still in his own thoughts, and when he talked about his precious tigers and leopards, he was smiling.

The Mongolian nobles of the Yuan Dynasty liked to raise fierce beasts, and there were many animal breeding places left in the capital at that time. After the Yongle Emperor moved the capital to Beijing, some of them were demolished, but some of them were still taken by the nobles. From time to time, small countries come to pay tribute, take some local worthless birds and beasts to pretend to be rare and exotic beasts, to deceive the Ming Emperor's reward, or simply sell them directly, but it adds scenery to the back garden of many rich and noble people.

Shen Rui thought for a while and said: "When the emperor mentioned raising beasts, I thought of an idea, but I didn't know if it was feasible or not, and the emperor had to consider it." I have seen monkey tricks in the south, not only monkeys, but also sheep and dogs, or goats crossing wooden bridges, or monkeys doing somersaults on the dogs' backs. ”

Brother Shou was immediately interested, and hurriedly said, "Where did you see it?" I was going to send someone to find someone to play with me, but I have never seen a monkey somersault on the back of a dog, alas, there is no such fun juggling in Beijing. ”

Shen Rui said: "This business is very prosperous, every New Year's festival is crowded with three layers inside and three layers outside, and there is a lot of reward when the gong is collected." Later, the store invited them to play, and the guests watched from the four sides of the building, which was comfortable and real, and the guests were happy to come. And once you enter the store, not to mention the tea and snacks, the store also makes a lot of money. ”

Brother Shou clapped his hands and smiled: "In the end, it is the businessman who has an active brain." He looked around again and said, "It's good to play in your teahouse, maybe you will make a lot of money here." ”

Shen Rui did not pick up, but said: "I sometimes like to read some miscellaneous records of my predecessors, I remember that it was written in the book that the Song Dynasty opened the Jinming Pool from the first day of March to the eighth day of April every year, and allowed the people of Shishu to enter the tour. ”

Brother Shou had a smile on his face, and stared at Shen Rui with some surprise, thoughtful.

Shen Rui was not afraid, and said with a rhetorical smile: "I think the emperor already knows my idea." ”

Brother Shou frowned and said, "Do you want me to open the Imperial Garden, or the West Garden?" ”

Shen Rui said: "Didn't the emperor just want to build a place to raise leopards? The landscape of Xiyuan is good, the emperor only needs to set aside a place to raise tigers and leopards, hawks, monkeys, elephants, camels, and mountains and rivers without charging money, if you want to enter the park, you will symbolically collect a few strings of money. ”

Brother Shou sneered: "What can I do with a few strings of money?" It's not enough to raise animals. You are still the descendant of a giant. ”

Brother Shou is not the kind of little emperor who is locked up in the Forbidden City and cheated of a tael of silver and an egg. Since he was a child, he has often been dressed up and walked around among the people, and he can't be coaxed by the economic affairs of the market.

Shen Rui said unhurriedly: "Then it depends on how many people are willing to give these strings of money." How many people are there in Beijing, and how many people are coming to Beijing from other places? If you want more, no one will come, and if you want less, many people will come, and in the end this wealth should not be underestimated. Moreover, the small amount of money collected shows that the emperor is benevolent, and does not compete with the people for profit, but enjoys with the people. ”

Brother Shou touched his chin and smacked his lips and said, "It's a good one to have fun with the people." ”

Shen Rui smiled and said, "Besides, making money is really not on this. You can build some sheds in the shade of the water's edge and the places where you must pass through the tour, and even build a few small shops, rent them to the merchants, sell water and food, and sell food by the merchants, which is not only convenient for the people, but also subsidizes the garden of beasts. If the lake is opened, you can also collect the rent of those color shops. I also wrote in the notes of the Song Dynasty that there are many such restaurants outside Jinming Pond. When it is not open, the emperor wants to play, and he can go at any time, and it is cheap. ”

Since the construction of the leopard house will make the scholars criticize, and let Brother Shou carry the name of having fun, then create a tourist area and make his play into fun with the people.

At the same time, tourism is also the only way to make money. Daming does not have a commercial tax, so it is replaced by rent in disguise.

Although Shen Rui was not a backpacker in his previous life, he had also visited many places, and there was always some experience to learn from.

And there are indeed many grand occasions of Jin Mingchi in the notes of the Song people, and the business model that the Song people have achieved should also be able to implement one or two in the more developed Ming Dynasty, which has produced the germ of capitalism.

Brother Shou was originally a lively character, and he couldn't wait to blend into the crowd to "have fun with the people". He walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back, pondered carefully, turned around and smiled: "It's not impossible." It's just that there are some things that still need to be scrutinized. If it happens," Brother Shou patted Shen Rui on the shoulder, "You are the first skill." ”

Shen Rui smiled helplessly and said, "It's just a whim, I don't dare to take credit." ”

Brother Shou smiled and said: "You are really a descendant of a giant, you can have such a good idea on a whim." Then he asked, "What kind of business are you doing on rent, the Sun family?" ”

Shen Rui was stunned for a moment, and then touched his nose, "The emperor really stopped me." I only know that Mrs. Sun has done a lot of trading, tea, silk, ingredients and spices, in addition to the field products, most of the family industry is a cloth weaving factory, and there are many silkworms and silkworms in the south of the Yangtze River, so it should be mainly a silk and satin cloth business. ”

Brother Shou said "oh", sat down and twisted a piece of snack, as if casually: "I heard, you have also been a maritime businessman?" ”

For a moment, Shen Rui only felt that the hairs on his back were rising, and he didn't know if he was too careful, he felt that the emperor seemed to be paying attention to Mrs. Sun. What is the reason for this?

There were all kinds of thoughts racing in his mind, and Shen Ruike did not hesitate at all, "I heard my mother say that it is not a maritime businessman, it seems to be a ship." That year, my grandfather only took a little scholar to the north, and he was caught a cold halfway, but he was driven off the boat by the black-hearted boatman, but the grandfather who was helping on the boat at that time couldn't look at it, and got off the boat to help the grandfather. ”

This is seven points true and three points false, and after many years, even if it is not true, it is his heir who said that it is ancient, and he can't find fault with it.

Brother Shou didn't seem to care, and he didn't ask, so he hummed, and then turned to say: "You still have more than a year of filial piety, and the town is making a fuss, so why don't you help me." As for the beast garden you mentioned, write a note with me. ”

Shen Rui didn't dare to relax, smiled and cautiously mentioned that there were many water puppets, water swings and other water tricks in the notes of the Song Dynasty that he had seen, and said that he could use them and let the merchants operate them, and the officials only collected the rent and didn't worry about the clouds next to him.

Brother Shou was really interested, asked again and again, and clapped his hands again, eager to bring those to play with immediately.

Until Liu Zhong knocked lightly outside the door, prompting Brother Shou to return to the palace, the time had come, and Brother Shou did not mention Mrs. Sun again.

Brother Shou instructed Liu Zhong to ask someone to put away the Songjiang gift that Shen Rui brought to him, and looked at Shen Rui with some reluctance, "It's a pity that I can't come out to look for you like this every day." I really look forward to the Hundred Beasts Garden being built as soon as possible, and I can come out from time to time to breathe. He also said: "You are also preparing for the imperial examination, and if you get into Hanlin as soon as possible, I don't have to leave the palace, I can pass you to speak." ”

Shen Rui bowed and smiled and said, "Obey the emperor's holy decree." ”

Brother Shou laughed, strode down the teahouse, got into a carriage marked by the British government, and headed for the imperial city.

Shen Rui sent him all the way, and bowed goodbye as a friend at the door, and Liu Zhong also returned the salute slightly, looked at him deeply, but turned around and got into the carriage before he responded.

Shen Rui's heart was already ringing an alarm bell.

All the way back to the house, Shen Rui hurriedly changed his homely clothes and came to see Xu.

In the upper room, He was taking Brother Xiao Nan to have fun on Xu's side, seeing Shen Rui entering the door with a solemn expression, He hurriedly hugged Brother Xiao Nan to say goodbye, and Xu didn't keep her, turned around and sent a room full of maids and wives out, because he asked Shen Rui: "But what news did Zhang Ergongzi say?" ”

Shen Rui shook his head and said with a straight face: "The one who saw my son today is not the second son of Zhang, but the emperor." ”

Seeing that Xu's expression was calm and not too surprised, Shen Rui knew that Xu was afraid that he had already known about his friendship with the emperor, and he didn't say much at the moment, first briefly said two sentences The emperor personally asked about the case, and said: "The son next to him will talk to his mother later, the key is that the emperor asked Mrs. Sun, and asked Mrs. Sun if he was a maritime businessman." My son thinks ......"

Xu's face, which was still quite calm, changed suddenly, grabbed Shen Rui's wrist, and said a little anxiously: "What do you say?" ”

Shen Rui soothed Xu's hand and said, "Mother, don't worry, my son is over for the time being." At the moment, he repeated what he had said.

Xu's eyebrows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Sun and even your mother have been gone for so long, and they have nothing to do with this case, but someone is involved here, that is, they want to knock down my second room from the root......
