Chapter 573: The Future God of Wealth
Li De will be over 50 next year, and he has been pampered for many years, and when he heard that he was going to have three months of military training, he went crazy.
Just kill me!
Li Deming looked like he was about to be killed, and others shouted one after another, we are literati, and we must die decently, no matter what, we can't train like a martial artist.
No, it just doesn't work!
"What are you yelling about!"
Han Shan's face darkened, and he reprimanded angrily, "Tell you, Your Majesty has decreed that in three months, you will get on the ship and go to Annam." You can not train, and when the time comes, when you go to Annam, you will be powerless. The barbarians everywhere in Annam are similar to monkeys, they can eat living people! If you don't want to become the meat in the mouth of the Annan people, just give Lao Tzu up and practice hard! ”
Han Shan said several times, these people are like eating bitter melon, that's uncomfortable!
Who's up with the idea?
Dispatch Annan, and let us fight with the natives, what is this heart made of? Other people's hearts pierced into red blood, but this one's heart pierced into it, and it bleeds black blood!
They were angry, but no matter what, no one wanted to die.
Most of the civilian officers still stood up, lined up according to the soldiers' instructions, and began to run around the field.
It's Li Deming, he thought about it, anyway, I'm old, and I'm dead, I'm not going to Annan, I'm not going to participate, I'm not going to train, and I don't care about the natives.
In a word, just point it and give the old man a knife!
"Li Tianguan, don't worry, Your Majesty's ivory card is counted, you are just greedy for ink, there is no rebellion, Your Majesty will not let you die, but...... If you look at it, you can get past it by pretending to be dead, you're wrong! ”
"Someone!"
As soon as he gave the order, someone rushed up, tied Li Deming's two legs, and then hung his head down on the beam of the straw shed, either training or hanging all the time, there was nothing else to say!
Miss Han followed Fu San to the outside of the city, and what she saw was this scene!
"Ahh
She whispered, her eyes full of horror!
Li Deming was also an important minister in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his status was not much worse than that of his father. The so-called soldier can be killed but not humiliated, treating him like this is too much!
She peeked at Fu San, as if she had doubts, but she didn't dare to say anything.
"Do you think he's wronged?" Fu San chuckled and said, "Do you know how much his family's land has increased in the past five years? ”
"A whole 800,000 acres! Among them, there are 300,000 acres of mulberry fields! In order to annex the land, he turned the soldiers into bandits and attacked the people's villages, destroying a total of two villages! ”
"What?" Miss Han was so frightened that her face turned pale, "How come, how come!" Isn't he afraid of the king's law? ”
"Does Nantang still have a royal law?" Fu San sneered: "Li Hongji took the lead to encourage mulberry planting, and the people below couldn't do anything." This incident happened two years ago, not under the rule of the Great Zhou, otherwise he would have been late! ”
Miss Han was completely frightened, and then she rarely spoke, just listening to Fu San's introduction...... Li Deming finally couldn't bear it, Han Shan grabbed him and ran behind the team.
Before he ran two hundred meters, Li Deming gasped for breath, his mouth one by one, like a fish fished out of the water.
Han Shan didn't want to let him go, so he continued to drive him away with a wooden stick, and slammed the stick towards his ass and thighs, hitting him with bared teeth and a ghost crying wolf.
Miss Han really can't stand it, it's so bad for a literati to be ruined, it's too undeserved, Li Deming is like this, will her father have such a day?
It is said that Da Zhou treats scholars mean and cruel, but when I saw it today, I was not wronged!
But if Li Deming really did the thing of destroying the village, he would also be to blame, and he was not worthy of sympathy. But to deal with him, there are court laws, and it is inappropriate to do so......
Miss Han lowered her head and kept rubbing her fingers around, showing the entanglement in her heart.
She couldn't help but think of Ye Hua, when the two of them met for the first time, Ye Hua was proud, freshly dressed and angry, and treated Li Gu very politely.
I didn't think anything about it at first, until Ye Hua abolished the Confucian saint lineage and went against the people of the world...... Miss Han's mentality gradually changed.
The so-called beauty is matched with a hero, she hopes that her Lang Jun can be both civil and military, talented and beautiful, everyone in the world praises, thumbs up, to be gentle and elegant, to be humble and polite, to be intelligent and benevolent, to be ...... The more she asked, the more she found that Ye Hua was different from what she thought, and it was also because of the change in her mentality that she didn't continue to look for Ye Hua, and now that she thinks about it, she was the one who took the initiative to give up. As for Ye Hua, he didn't start at all, let alone regretted it.
Fu San smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his crescent-like eyes easily penetrated Miss Han's appearance and saw her heart clearly.
"Surprised, isn't it?" Fu San said with a smile: "Literati always feel that everything must have a reason, and the rules must not be broken. A person like Li Deming, either Ming Zhengzheng was punished, or he was gracious, shouldn't he be tortured like this? Right? ”
Without waiting for Miss Han to speak, Fu San smiled and said, "But, I can't do it!" I took so much money and went to buy workshops, to buy labor, to buy land...... If I don't train them properly, my money will be wasted! ”
Miss Han was confused, she just wanted to ask, they are all women, Mrs. Ye, what are you doing?
……
"Your Majesty, the textile workshops in Jinling have been inventoried, which can be roughly divided into three parts, one is the imperial merchants, that is, Li Hongji is directly controlled, and the other is controlled by the wealthy families, like Feng Yanji, Song Qiqiu, these people have a lot of land and workshops, and third, they are workshops controlled by ordinary merchants. The first two are the largest, the most powerful, and the most privileged, and the third is large in number and small in scale, and some are family workshops, with two or three looms, which are basically made by mothers with their daughters, or mothers-in-law with their daughters-in-law. ”
Chai Rong nodded, "Ye Qing, the first two workshops must be collected...... It's just that it should be taken back to the official camp, or transferred to the merchants, I haven't thought about it yet, what do you suggest? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you want to keep a part of the official camp, it is better to hang it directly in the palace and let the imperial merchant be responsible."
Chai Rong chuckled and said, "What, Ye Qing sees that I am poor and wants to stuff money into my hands?" ”
Ye Hua said with a smile: "No matter how much money Your Majesty has, he has to take it out to do something that benefits the country and the people, and he will not use it to eat, drink and squander it like a businessman." Ye Hua Zhengse said: "The minister thinks that overseas development cannot be handed over to businessmen, and the imperial court also has to get a piece of the pie." By mastering raw silk, workshops, and fleets, you can regulate the market and avoid the monopoly of interests by merchants. ”
Ye Hua's suggestion is reasonable, Zheng He's fleet is a typical official trade, and the Yongle Emperor can do so many great things, how can it work without money!
It's a pity that the emperor behind him was confused, listened to the flickering of the civil officials, burned all the charts, the official trade was stopped, and those wealthy merchants and magnates in the southeast went to sea one after another, and the money they earned flowed into the pockets of private individuals.
Therefore, there must be official trade, and there must be government-run workshops, and they must be very powerful!
It is unavoidable that there will be many drawbacks in the government-run workshops, such as the imperial merchants under Li Hongji, who do not have to pay taxes when they weave silk, and there is also the government to help collect raw silk at a low price, and the government to help sell the woven silk.
As a result, every link was full of ills, the weavers and the common people were oppressed, and the quality of the silk woven was extremely poor, and it only fattened a group of imperial merchants and bureaucrats.
"The minister thinks that this part of the official camp will be handed over to Mrs. Chai, and he will promise to manage it properly and pay taxes strictly...... Although it is a government-run workshop, it will never bully others. ”
Want to give the workshop to Daddy?
Chai Rong leaned over and stared at Ye Hua, "You tell me the truth, that ...... Can he do it? ”
"Your Majesty rest assured." Ye Hua said with a smile: "Chai Taifu cares more about this country than anyone else, he still has so many fleets in his hands, he is responsible for trade with the Japanese country, give him the workshop, I dare to guarantee that he will get back a few million taels of gold and silver for His Majesty at least a year!" ”
Daddy is so promising?
Chai Rong's eyes lit up and he was very happy.
"Hahahaha, it seems that you are a good master?"
Ye Hua hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, in fact, Taifu is still thinking about Your Majesty, blood is thicker than water!" ”
Chai Rong nodded, "It's not easy for him to talk about it, I heard that he is going to have a child from elsewhere and inherit the incense of the Chai family?" ”
Ye Hua said: "There is such a thing. ”
Chai Shouli was also quite helpless, his son was given to Guo Wei, who was from the old Guo family, he is now a lonely old man, and if he dies in the future, there will not even be a person to carry a banner.
Chai Shouli pondered that only a few people knew about the adoption of a child from other rooms.
"I'm not filial!" Chai Rong said: "Ye Qing, I plan to let the second son change his surname back to Chai, do you think it's okay?" ”
Chai Rong already has three sons, in addition to the eldest son Guo Zongxun, the second son is called Zong Rang, and the third son is born to Miss Fu Er, called Zong Xi.
Chai Rong means to let the second son change back to Chai Zongrang, and then go to his grandfather Chai Shouli's knee to Chenghuan and fulfill his filial piety for his father.
It's just that this arrangement is a bit unfair to Chai Zongrang. After all, in this way, the second son lost the qualification of the royal family of the clan, and Queen Fu, can she be willing; In terms of patriarchy, can it work...... Chai Rong has always been decisive in national politics, but when it comes to his own family affairs, he is a little scratchy.
After all, throughout the ages, there is no one who is as troublesome as their family.
Ye Hua thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it would be better if you wanted me to make such an arrangement." If Your Majesty is willing, how about letting His Royal Highness worship under the minister's door? ”
"Oh? Ye Qing wants to take the initiative to accept apprentices? ”
Ye Hua smiled: "Actually, I am taking apprentices for his third aunt." ”
"Jin Ding?"
"Hmm!" Ye Hua said: "She is pregnant now, and she always talks about it, she will have more husbands and children in the future, and she has so many properties in her hands, and she must have someone responsible." It turned out that he wanted to give it to Brother Xing, but he only likes to do things with his hands, and his ambition is not here. If His Royal Highness is interested, we are willing to teach him all the skills of doing business. ”
Of course, Chai Rong knows the skills of these two people, and the second son will be the new generation of God of Wealth in Da Zhou!
"Ye Qing, you helped me again!" Chai Rong said gratefully.
