After Zhu Qixun sat down, Zhu Houwei also returned to his position. After sitting down, Zhu Houwei said, "The hardships of some clansmen are mainly because the annual income is not high, and they can't find a livelihood to live. For example, today's chamber of commerce is developing, and the road construction team is dignitary, and at the beginning of spring next year, the world chamber of commerce will also increase postal business, and it also needs a lot of manpower. In particular, there is a need for messengers everywhere, and there is also a fishing company in Dengzhou, and people are needed everywhere. Therefore, I thought about arranging those clansmen who couldn't get by, and finding a messenger to support the family. ”

The old man frowned, and hesitated a little, "This royal person is not allowed to participate in the cause of the four people, can this work?" Zhu Houwei smiled confidently: "Why not?" It's too busy to do some business at home, and it's not too much to find some relatives to help, right? Working for the Ming Emperor, in any case, it cannot be said that he has lost his identity and violated etiquette. ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately frowned, "That's such a reason." Zhu Houwei said jokingly: "If any minister has any opinions, let those clansmen who can't get along go to their house to make trouble." The old man smiled and shook his head slightly.

Zhu Houwei said, "The method has been given, but there are still some things to say." When he entered the World Chamber of Commerce to do things, all the treatment was the same as that of ordinary people, and there were no privileges. If you do a good job, you can go up, but if you don't do things well and make a mess all day long, you can only let them go home and stay. When the time comes, it doesn't matter what the seniority is, it's not easy to speak. ”

The old man also nodded solemnly, "Yes, you can't spoil a big family by yourself, it's related to livelihood." What kind of charter is there in the Chamber of Commerce in the world, you can also talk about it a little"

Zhu Houwei nodded, "The monthly money is okay, in the World Chamber of Commerce, the average male is more than two taels." If the female dependents also come out to work, the monthly money is also one or two or five dollars. As long as the two of them work, they can have an income of nearly fifty taels a year, and it is no problem to feed the family. And a lot of work is food and shelter, just need to send money home. In case of illness, the World Chamber of Commerce will also let the doctor treat, only need to charge the medicine money, and the consultation fee only needs a penny. ”

The old man was happy now, and stomped on the ground with his left foot, "This is good, this is good, this people will not be afraid of more children in the future." As he spoke, he fell into a fantasy, and seemed to see the scene of the clansmen and their families being full of children and grandchildren.

After a while, Zhu Houwei continued: "When Tianjin and several Chaoyang Courtyards near Gyeonggi are opened next year, everyone of the same age can enroll. Food, live and school, and don't cost money. Three meals a day, you can see meat every day. ”

The old man suddenly stood up and sighed, "Huh~." As if thinking of the happy life of these unsatisfactory clansmen in the future, his eyes were slightly moist. Zhu Houwei walked to his side, hugged the old man, and comforted him softly, "Don't be excited, this is about to be the New Year, if something happens to you, I can't afford it." The old man was a little speechless, but nodded again and again with tears in his eyes.

As Zongzheng, managing the affairs of the royal family, he has also been conscientious for more than ten years, for fear that something will go wrong. The more you do, the more you see. Those who have lived hard, a family of more than ten people, point to the annual income to live, but only men, that is, there are only men, that is, there are only a few years, and a year is only a dozen taels. At the beginning of the Hongzhi Dynasty, there were only less than ten taels a year. The child has never worn new clothes since he was a child, and he can't even afford to eat a meal of meat. What's even more sad is that there are too many people, there are still sick people at home, and the children can't be fed, so they have to give them to others. The old man is also soft-hearted, so for this reason, he used most of his money to help the clansmen, but even the clansmen in the capital couldn't help, let alone outside the capital. There are 80,000 people in the royal family, and there are more than 50,000 men, and there are only a few thousand people with titles and fiefs.

After listening to Zhu Houwei's words, the old man knew that their hard life was over, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words. After sitting down for a while, the old man said, "The old man is afraid that he will not be able to say such a big thing." Now, after three days, the old man will go and gather these men together, and come and tell them about the money. ”

Zhu Houwei shook his head when he heard this, "No need, I'll go talk to my eldest brother and let him go." Anyway, he also knows the affairs of the World Chamber of Commerce. The old man slapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Look at me, I'm so excited." Looking at Zhu Houwei's eyes, he was even more kind and loving.

Once Zhu Houwei says such a thing, then his prestige in the imperial family will be greatly increased, and basically the special Hongzhi can surpass him, and the clansmen of later generations will also miss him. But Zhu Houwei doesn't need this.

Zhu Houwei was a little embarrassed by the old man's "fiery" gaze, speaking of which, Zhu Houwei is also fifty years old in the two lives, and it is indeed a little uncomfortable to be looked at like this by a person who is more than ten years older than him, after all, the two have not met a few times. Zhu Houwei opened his mouth and said, "You still have to go to the palace to talk to your father about this matter, with his support, it is easier to do." ”

The old man smiled and nodded, as if the junior in front of him was his in-law, "That's okay, without further ado, let's go now." Zhu Houwei said helplessly: "I'll go too?" ”

The old man leaned back slightly, tilted his head sideways and said, "No, there are many things in it that only you can explain clearly, and I'm also old, maybe I'll forget something." Okay, are you still afraid that you won't be able to walk at a young age? As he spoke, he stood up directly and took Zhu Houwei's hand and walked out, Zhu Houwei just needed to hurry up and keep up, and said in his mouth, "Slow down, it's very slippery outside." The two got into the same carriage and headed for the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, Hongzhi heard that Zhu Qixun was coming, so he stopped reading and reading the folds, and walked out with Zhu Houzhao, who was handling government affairs together, to greet the old man. There's no way, he's from Hongji's grandfather's generation, and he's old and famous, so it's okay to come out to greet him.

When I arrived at the door, I saw the old man pulling Zhu Houwei, who was walking in the same direction, towards here, with a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden. Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao knew that the problem of the clansmen should be solved, and they were also happy in their hearts.

The old man saw Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao walking a few steps faster, almost making Zhu Houwei not react, he couldn't imagine that he still had such a good "skill" at such an old age.

Before the old man could speak, he laughed loudly, and then said, "Your Majesty, the major affairs of my Zhu family are decided." Although it was a bit rude, Hongji was not a calculating person, and said with a smile, "Then you have to talk about it, let's go in first." He turned sideways.

The old man nodded, then let go of Zhu Houwei and walked to the side of Hongzhi a little behind. Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei also followed the two and walked into the leisurely residence.
