Business war is a new concept, and no one really knows how to raise business competition to the level of battle, in fact, Zhu Cijiong doesn't know what business war is all about, he just borrowed words from later TV to describe the cruelty of the struggle between countries.

He continued to explain according to his own thoughts: "After all, the Mughal Empire is a relatively powerful country, if the Ming Dynasty goes up to fight and suffer heavy casualties, it is unavoidable, if you can first make its domestic chaos through commercial wars, it will be much easier to fight, what you have to do is to buy its domestic materials from now on, especially grain, as much as you can." “

Is this also called skill? It's impossible for people to not even eat and sell all the food to you, doesn't this make it clear that they will give money to people!

Of course, Zhu Cijiong didn't ask them to send money to others, he continued to explain: "Think about it, under your desperate acquisition, will the prices of the Mughal Empire rise slowly? “

Everyone seemed to understand something, and they all nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, Zhu Cijiong said with a smile: "If you find a suitable time to suddenly cut off all their external supplies, the Ming Dynasty, Portugal, and Spain will no longer sell any materials to them, and the Dutch, British and French merchant ships will also be intercepted by pirates, do you say, will their domestic prices skyrocket?" “

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized, and Luo Yangxing couldn't help but reply: "When their prices double, we will sell back the goods we bought from them, so that we can make a lot of money!" “

Zhu Cijiong rolled his eyes when he heard this, this thing understood what he meant, he said angrily: "What's the hurry, wait for them to be chaotic, wait for them to be chaotic, do you know, once there is chaos in their country, the Ming Dynasty will take the opportunity to send troops, and when the time comes, they will be even more scarce in terms of materials, and the war will make production stagnate, do you understand?" When the war is over, they can say that the poor will have money left, and then they don't know how much prices will rise! “

Zhu Youzhen said a little unbearably: "At that time, they can be regarded as the people of the Ming Dynasty, we should replenish the materials as soon as possible, reduce the prices, and make them return to normal life as soon as possible, isn't it okay to make their money at this time?" “

Zhu Cijiong shook his head firmly and said: "Fifth uncle, what you don't understand, the Mughal Empire has never been a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, in their eyes, they and the Ming Dynasty are both empires of the same level, and even most of them think that the Ming Dynasty is not as strong as them, even if the Ming Dynasty defeats them, they will not really surrender, only by destroying their confidence, destroying their pride, and letting them understand that they are far worse than the Ming Dynasty, they will be obedient." “

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he sighed, and no longer argued, the struggle between countries is so cruel, Daming is good, just to plunder their wealth, and don't want their lives, there are many countries that occupy the enemy country after killing and robbing, killing until you are broken, killing until you have to give in!

Zhu Cijiong saw that Zhu Youzhen had been convinced, and turned his head to continue teaching: "If you want to make them confused, if you want their prices to soar, you must start with materials that are easy to consume, such as food, such as oil and salt, such as daily necessities, these things are not of high value, but they are consumed quickly, as for other materials that can be collected, if they can't be collected or the price is too high, as long as the price of basic living materials rises, others will follow suit, and it is not impossible for prices to increase by five or even ten times. How much you can earn depends on your ability. “

High, it's really high, everyone's eyes at Zhu Cijiong became fanatical again, seeing that the sycophants were about to come like a tide, Zhu Cijiong hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Okay, that's all for today, it's all at this time, I should have left you to eat together, but I still have something to discuss with the fifth uncle, so I won't keep you this time, let's go back to eat quickly." “

Ordinary people may be very rare about the imperial diet, but what kind of people are these people, the emperor eats, they basically eat, the imperial diet is not attractive to them, not to mention that the emperor has to be careful when eating with the emperor, and it is not pleasant to eat at all, so when everyone heard that the emperor asked him to go back to eat, they all got up and retired, and after a while, only Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Youzhen were left in the study.

Zhu Cijiong saw that everyone was gone, so he immediately stood up and said cordially: "Fifth uncle, we haven't eaten together for a long time, let's go to eat with me, and we will chat while eating." “

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly stood up and said with concern: "Your Majesty, why work so hard, you can't be in a hurry in everything, take your time, don't exhaust yourself." “

Zhu Cijiong took the lead and walked out, while sighing: "Alas, fifth uncle, I also know the truth that everything can't be rushed, but now is the critical period for the reshuffling of the powers, if the Ming Dynasty can't rise with the trend and seize the hegemony in one fell swoop, you can only look at people's faces in the future, although the world is big, but it can't accommodate a few overlords, there can only be one overlord, if the Ming Dynasty doesn't fight, this opportunity will be gone." “

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "Alas, the emperor's diligence really makes Weichen embarrassed, by the way, what do you have to explain to Weichen, the emperor can't wait for this meal." “

At this time, the two had already walked outside the study, and Cao Huachun, who was at the door, saw that the uncle and nephew were chatting, and quietly waved away all the eunuchs who came to serve, and then made a gesture of please, and walked far away to lead the way.

Zhu Cijiong raised his feet and followed, and said embarrassedly as he walked: "Fifth uncle, I want to discuss the fiefdom with you." “

Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he heard this, and showed a reluctant expression on his face, yes, when the first emperor entrusted Gu, he said that the emperor would return to power at the age of sixteen, and now the emperor is almost eighteen, and he still dominates the position of the regent, which is indeed very undeserved.

In fact, he is not greedy for power, he just wants to do his best to help this nephew, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of life of reading and folding every day, which makes him feel that every day is very fulfilling, but now that the emperor has put it forward, how can he be embarrassed to be attached to it anymore, so he respectfully arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen is greedy for power, Weichen just wants to help the emperor more, since the emperor doesn't need Weichen, Weichen will go tomorrow." “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he was also stunned, what is this!

He smiled bitterly and explained: "Fifth uncle, I don't mean that, I just want to discuss with you, is it okay to replace the fief with the shares of the royal family's property, I asked you to come to the meeting today, just to let you know about the various industries under the royal family's name, now you should have an understanding of the property under the royal family's name, which one do you like, I use Yicheng's shares to replace the fief, do you think it's okay?" “

Yicheng, that is a few million taels of income per year, I don't know how strong it is than the fiefdom, Zhu Youzhen naturally will not object, he said excitedly: "Then thank you to the emperor, Weichen elected the Ming Royal Rixing Bank, but this regent, please ask the emperor to be exempted." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded and said: "Well, it's really inappropriate to be called the regent, just use the original Xinwang, but this batch of reading and folding is not avoidable, I am going to set up a new position, that is, the prime minister of the cabinet, who will assist me in handling government affairs, and the term of office will be ten years, how about it, fifth uncle, will you help me review and approve the ten-year review and discount?" “

Zhu Youzhen naturally couldn't ask for it, so he had to be idle at home now, so the uncle and nephew walked forward with a smile, and the first prime minister of the Ming Dynasty was born.
