Zhu Youxiao paused, wanting to see how the vassal kings reacted, and whether they had different opinions on this matter.

The king of Shu asked: "Your Majesty, why should this bank and factory find someone else to do it, aren't our own people more at ease?" Is there also a share? ”

Zhu Youxiao explained: "Professional things should be done by people who know these things, so that our interests can be maximized." For example, how does the money bank lend and collect loans now? How to keep accounts and calculate interest? We don't understand it, and now the money bank keepers are proficient in these things, so ask them to do things, and we can make more money. Secondly, the shares are the silver produced by each of us, for example, with a thousand taels of silver as a share, it is called a share, who gives the most, who is the largest shareholder, and who makes the most money. Of course, if he loses money, then he loses the most. ”

King Fu asked, "What kind of bank shares if you don't participate in this?" Will this work? ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at the nearest imperial uncle and said, "Yes, but I will find a way for you first, and then the reform of our royal family will follow." You may know from the story of the King of Shu just now that the King of Shu successfully inspired the courage of the soldiers and civilians of Chengdu to defend the city and protect the entire Chengdu army and civilians with the agitation of silver and grain. This shows that the power of money is very great, so as a royal family, we must have enough wealth to protect our lives. But the other side of the matter is that we occupy more and more land, so that more ordinary people become displaced people, and when they are starving to death, they will be forced to rob us of our wealth, and this is the contradiction.

"How to solve this contradiction is the biggest problem of our royal family, now the world is our Zhu family is the emperor, and it is also our Zhu family's country, we are the biggest beneficiary of the peace of the country, once the country is destroyed, our children and grandchildren are the object of everyone's punishment, so we must make sacrifices in order to ensure the stability of the country.

First of all, our Zhu children should set an example for the landlords and squires of all classes in the Ming Dynasty, just like the uncle of the Shu Dynasty did, we represent the interests of the common people of the Ming Dynasty, so that no matter who chooses to be consistent with our interests, it is to let the people live a stable life. In this way, no matter how much the leader of the sect or the head of the sect is in charge, it will not be possible to snatch the hearts of the people from us, and they will not rebel with them.

"When we solve the biggest land crisis, that is, the problem of feeding the people, how can we ensure our own survival interests? Now I will tell you a sentence, which is called 'no farming, no stability, no business, no life, no work, no wealth'. That is to say, without the support of the peasants and the guarantee of food, the country will not be stable; Without the merchandise trade of merchants, society would be dead and lifeless; Without factories, without a large number of convenient, practical, and advanced goods manufactured, society cannot progress, and these things are the most profitable. Maybe you don't know how much money my 'Daming Royal Trading Firm' makes, but let's simply say that the income I get from the 'Daming Royal Trading Firm' this year is a hundred times that of the entire Huangzhuang. From raw materials to manufacturing finished products, the profit is fifty times, and the highest may reach a hundred times, what is this concept, that is, you can invest one or two silver, you can earn a hundred taels of silver. This is incomparable to the rent collected from the land, so why don't we hand over the things we have worked so hard to make money to others and do more profitable things ourselves? In the future, we will be the representatives of the advanced ideas of the Ming Dynasty, and our ideas will always be more advanced than ordinary Ming officials and ordinary people. At the same time, we are also the most advanced commodity manufacturer of the Ming Dynasty, and our products are the best commodities of the Ming Dynasty. From the perspective of human nature, all people have ambitions, have a strong desire to compare, and can live better and more comfortable than others. Well, then let's satisfy them with the goods of our Zhu disciples, and exchange the money they have harvested from the land.

"Let me give you the simplest example, that is, the problem of time timing, now the time is to have a husband every night to call the point, if we make a machine to measure the time, for example, called the hour clock, just like the kind of sundial in the palace, missing the moment, that is, inaccurate, and inconvenient, because no one can carry these things, but if we make an hour clock that can be carried around, then it will not solve this problem? Do you say that those who have money are not enthusiastic about buying? As for how much, isn't it up to us to decide? Do you still have to worry about not making money?

"There are also people's livelihood problems, now drought is happening everywhere, I have designed a kind of waterwheel, which can be promoted by manpower and accumulation, but it is made of iron, and ordinary people and craftsmen simply do not have the ability to make it in large quantities, when we open mines, smelt iron ore, and have a large number of good iron and steel, make such a simple waterwheel, and when the landlords and squires in the countryside encounter a drought, don't they desperately buy it? In this way, we have earned money, and the people have also harvested food, isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone? It's called running around the ground to see if you're going to find it. In the future, everyone can use their brains to find out all the utensils that can be practical, as long as they can save people effort and things, these can make us make a lot of money.

"In addition, all the emperor's uncles and brothers, I also hope that everyone can send the princes and grandsons of the right age to the 'Daming Official School' and 'Daming Technical School' to study, which also takes into account the future national political system, the descendants of the Zhu family will also participate in politics and discuss politics, and the future national plan will be formulated by us, approved by the cabinet and the six ministries, and then implemented by each department separately. We put control of the country in the hands of the six ministries, and we only need to control the six ministries ourselves. We, the descendants of the Zhu family, will learn to guide the trend of social development and always guide the progress of the whole country ideologically. I don't know if you still have anything to discuss, please don't be restrained, we are discussing our own family affairs now, so don't have any worries. ”

King Fu said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are talking about, but my belongings are all rewarded by the emperor, and they are all from our family, and I have decided to take out most of them and put them into the bank you said." It's just that when the money is earned, who says the count? ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Fuhuang for your support." The distribution of profits is decided by everyone to decide how to distribute it, and I follow the decision of the big guys, and anyone can put forward their own distribution plan and vote to decide whose method to do. ”

Next, in order to reassure everyone, Zhu Youxiao led these feudal kings to visit the entire factory and mine, and even let them see some advanced cannons and hand-cranked machine guns in the firearms factory. In the course of this series of visits, the vassal kings were dumbfounded, and no one could have imagined that there were so many strange things, which strengthened the determination of the vassal kings to obey Zhu Youxiao, so that Zhu Youxiao's plan could be carried out smoothly.
