Chapter 823: The Gentleman's Covenant 3
Xu Li thought for a moment and asked, "Wenxuan, what do you mean that after you leave in the future, these people will settle down and have enough strength to ensure that the sea transportation continues?" ”
He is a smart man, so it is easy to grasp the main point of Zhang Ru's words. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Ru spent so much effort, nothing more than to ensure the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, it was necessary to ensure the smooth flow of shipping.
The results brought by the sea ban over the years are obvious to all, the sea ban is not declining, and the Ming Dynasty maintains a strong sailor, which is enough to stand proudly in the forest of the nation.
The fingers knocked on the table one by one, the interval was not long, and each time it was equal, as if a heavy hammer was hitting Xu Li's heart.
"Brother, arranging these people to go down can only be said to make the future shipping industry smoother, that's all. As soon as the saint says a word, many things are not up to us. After knocking for a while, Zhang Rucai said.
Xu Li touched his beard, his brows furrowed slightly, this reply was not very satisfactory to him.
He stood up and said, "Then what does Wen Xuan take to guarantee the interests of the Wei State Mansion?" My brother is a villain first and then a gentleman, after all, there are still a lot of people to feed in my house.
To clean up the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, the income of the Wei State Mansion is bound to be a large decrease, and this large loss, the foolish brother must be withdrawn from the sea. ”
Interests, in the face of interests, any words are pale and powerless.
is better with Zhang Ru, in addition to liking Zhang Ru's young man's personality, what he cares more about is the benefits that can be brought behind it.
If Zhang Ru can't guarantee something, then he doesn't have the responsibility to open the way for the few young people under Zhang Ru's command.
Zhang Ru smiled, his smile was a little far-fetched.
He knew that in the end, he still brought the topic to money.
But he didn't care at all, and thought it would be best to get straight to the point.
He immediately understood and made a guarantee: "The little brother doesn't know how much silver the Wenxuan has now, and the little brother doesn't want to know." One day in the future, he will leave the court, and the silver brother of the Wenxuan will definitely not be able to take it with him.
In this way, before the Wenxuan is not banned by the imperial court, the elder brother can get a share of dry shares. ”
People give dry shares either to one percent, or to give a few percent, Zhang Ru said that only one dry share is given, which is somewhat unpleasant.
But the strange thing is that Xu Li was not angry because of this, but smiled very happily.
You can tell from his smile that this smile comes from the heart.
Not for anything else, because he knew how much of a penny of Wenxuan's annual profit was probably much more than the filial piety he received every year now.
The Wenxuan has grown into a behemoth, whether it is a peddler and pawn who travels south and north, or a maritime merchant giant who specializes in eating ocean rice, basically looking for a trustworthy place to put money, the first choice is the Wenxuan.
Over the course of a year, the profits that Winshare can get are in the hundreds of millions.
And a penny of dry shares must have millions of taels of silver.
The expenses of the Wei Mansion are not small, but they will not be more than a few million taels of silver.
"Good!" Xu Li shouted happily, stood up and patted Zhang Ru's shoulder: "With Wenxuan's words, the old man will be relieved." Those few people will not be too sad in Jiangnan, not only will they not be sad, but in order to ensure that they can really grow up, the foolish brother will create difficulties for them. ”
Grinding, a man, only after all kinds of grinding, can grow.
The premise is that these grinds do not make them lose their fighting spirit, and if they do, they will be useless.
Xu Li could have allowed them to develop on their own, but Zhang Ru's proposal of a share of dry shares made him excited, and he also proposed the remuneration within his ability.
Zhang Ru stretched out his hand to hold Xu Li's calloused hand, his face was filled with a happy smile, the strength in his hand was not small, and even his arm was trembling, which showed how excited he was.
"Brother is kind, Wen Xuan remembers it." Zhang Ru is colorful.
Xu Li said: "It's just what they can do, and it's not something that I, a bad old man, can predict when the time comes."
However, the foolish brother has something to understand, and I hope Wen Xuan can solve my doubts. ”
Zhang Ru said very easily: "Brother, it's okay to say it. ”
Xu Li asked: "What the foolish brother is puzzled about, Wen Xuan, you are now deeply favored, and Your Majesty's health is okay, why do you choose to retreat bravely from the rapids?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young, you should continue to help His Majesty at this time, and it is not too wise to leave at this time. ”
Zhang Ru sighed: "I'm not ready to leave now, I have to wait for Jiangnan to happen." His Majesty's body is not as good as outsiders imagine, and it is not a good thing that he has been suffering from dark diseases for many years.
The birds are all hidden, the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooking, such a thing cannot happen to His Majesty and me.
But Prince, I can't guarantee it.
Leaving is the best choice for me, lest the Holy One leave without peace of mind.
The lord is weak and the minister is strong, but it is a big taboo, and even if the people who are good friends with me in the court and the central government may not be able to really stand on my side and speak.
I am just an outsider to the imperial court after all. ”
Xu Li also knew what he was considering, there were many people who ate with him, and he also had a large family to support. If the crown prince succeeds to the throne at that time, I am afraid that the first person to be killed will be Zhang Wenxuan, who has high merit.
Whether you are anti-minded or not, if you don't get rid of such a person, the emperor is afraid that the position under his ass will be unstable.
As a minister, it is actually very undesirable to say these words.
Zhang Ru confided with him, and he also confessed to Zhang Ru: "Since this is the case, the elder brother will not be forced to stay, and you don't need to tell the elder brother where you live when the time comes, when you have time to relax, just come to Jinling to find the elder brother."
As long as the elder brother lives for one day, no matter what the imperial court thinks of you Zhang Wenxuan, the elder brother can give you a bite to eat here. ”
Zhang Ru smiled: "Brother is kind, Wen Xuan understands it, rest assured, there will be no day." ”
The reason why he made so many preparations was to guard against some bad things that might happen, and if that person could still kill him after making so many preparations, then he had no other choice but to kill him.
He is very relieved of his own people, and if someone betrays him one day, he can only blame himself for his miserable life, and he can't blame anyone.
Trusting this thing is easy to say, but it is very complicated to do, and some things cannot be done by just saying it.
Zhang Ru, who saw everything very thoroughly, did not think that Xu Fu's help would play a role in the future when the prince was determined to die by himself. (To be continued.) )
