Zhu Youxiao saw Cao Jinyu's expression, and immediately understood Cao Jinyu's doubts, and it was naturally of great benefit to run a business with the royal family.

However, the flip side of the benefits also comes with a lot of risk.

What to do if the emperor defaults on the debt, what to do if the emperor meddles in the business indiscriminately, these are all Cao Jinyu's doubts.

"You can rest assured, if you are willing to partner with my royal family, we can agree on the rules first. When the time comes, you will do it according to the rules, and I will kill you a lot. "Zhu Youxiao said to Cao Jinyu, Cao Jinyu saw that the emperor said so, and also saw the emperor's sincerity, and then hesitated to know what to do, and then agreed;" The grass people are willing to do business in partnership with the emperor, but what kind of business does the emperor do? ”

"I want to do a grain business, my imperial village can produce grain, and the imperial store can also take out a part of it and turn it into a grain store. It also allows you to go to various states and counties to buy land and grain, and the rice used by the royal family, nobles, officials, etc., can be purchased from you. Can this business be done? Zhu Youxiao asked.

"If you can do it, as long as the business is not bad, you will have a huge profit." Cao Jinyu said: "It's just to run a grain bank, and the capital required is large. ”

"In terms of funds, we will solve it, and all the accounting will go according to the normal procedure. If I need grain, I will not take it directly from the grain store, but will record it in the accounts at the market price. Zhu Youxiao said lightly, in fact, he was waiting for the bank. As long as the bank is opened, he will not worry about the funds he needs to invest.

"Your Majesty." Cao Jinyu bowed down, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask about shares. Zhu Youxiao saw that he didn't mention the issue of shares, so he naturally waited for himself to speak, so he said: "If you do things for the royal family, the royal family will naturally not treat you badly." How about I give you 20% of the shares? ”

"The grass people thank the emperor for Longen, long live the emperor, long live, long live." Cao Jinyu immediately knelt on the ground and praised sincerely, the two percent of the shares were really beyond his expectations.

He is just a small businessman, and if there is the support of the emperor, then the resistance of officialdom will be very small, and the business will definitely be able to grow. Twenty percent of the shares means that he can make a lot of money in the future.

Zhu Youxiao was naturally not stingy at this time in order to support the imperial merchants.

As long as it is a businessman who has common interests with the royal family, it is also beneficial to let them make money. After all, the money is in the hands of these imperial businessmen, and if Zhu Youxiao wants to invest in any industry in the future and is short of money, or the country is in difficulty, it is naturally impossible for these imperial businessmen to stand idly by.

The rich are actually equivalent to the wealth managers of a country, and since they have wealth, they should naturally bear some responsibilities. In contrast, those businessmen in Jiangnan today are simply junk capital, which does not contribute to society, but is dragging the whole country into the abyss.

The first imperial merchant chosen by Zhu Youxiao, although the business he did seemed ordinary, was just grain. However, food is the basic need for the people to survive.

Whoever controls the grain will control the people. When Chongzhen came to power, why did the peasant army continue to revolt? It was because of the great drought in Shaanxi and the embezzlement of military salaries by the Donglin Party that the border army could not survive, so it took the lead in plundering the people. The border army plundered the civilian population and further damaged production. At the same time, many of the border troops who were defeated in Sarhu fled back to Shaanxi for fear of being questioned, so they did not dare to return to the border army, so they fell into the grass in Shaanxi. When these thieves arrived in the year of disaster, they began to plunder the towns with the hungry.

The peasant uprising in the early years of Chongzhen was actually easy to quell, as long as enough food was mobilized to ensure the subsistence of the border soldiers and soldiers, and at the same time the relief of the affected people, those thieves who coerced the hungry people did not have to worry at all. It's a pity that during the Chongzhen period under a large amount of corruption by the Donglin Party, there was no silver to provide disaster relief. So much so that the border army continued to join the peasant army, but the peasant army generally had a military element.

The peasant army became more and more troubled, and the agricultural production in the north was affected on a large scale, falling into a vicious circle of strictness, and finally the peasant army broke through the city of Beijing.

Therefore, the death of Ming is actually due to financial bankruptcy.

To put it bluntly, it was the lack of enough money, and the lack of enough cheap food, to keep the common people from starving to death, and to restore the order of production, which led to the demise of the country.

If Zhu Youxiao had grain in his hands, there would have been no large-scale peasant uprising in the north. Without a peasant uprising, no matter how fierce Hachi made trouble in the Northeast, he would not be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty.

The two sides reached an intention to cooperate, and then Zhu Youxiao issued an order to entitle Cao Jinyu as a hundred households in Jinyiwei, and allowed Cao Jinyu to enter the palace at any time.

Cao Jinyu is really excited now, not only has the relationship with the emperor, but also has the nationality of Jinyi Wei Baihu, which is not sideways in the shopping mall!

Zhang Yan made a contribution to buying horses, and Zhu Youxiao also rewarded him with a mansion outside the palace, which was confiscated from Wang An's minions.

Later, Zhu Youxiao asked Zhang Yan to take good care of the horses and send the foals to the pasture to be raised.

There are still a lot of pastures in Huangzhuang, but horse breeding has been abandoned for many years, and Zhang Yan immediately went to rectify the pastures after receiving the task.

Cao Jinyu began to prepare for the grain bank, and Zhu Youxiao first contributed 100,000 taels of principal, and additional investment will be made in the future.

With the war horse, Zhu Youxiao immediately launched the training plan for Tengxiang Siwei. During this time, Zhu Youxiao followed Sun Chengzong to learn how to govern the army, and he already had relevant awareness. No longer like before, I don't know how to start.

The core of governing the army is mainly to combine grace and power, and to distinguish rewards and punishments.

Zhu Youxiao immediately quickly rectified the Tengxiang Four Guards, first announced that the treatment would be increased, and the ordinary soldiers of the Tengxiang Four Guards would be given 2 taels of silver per month, plus one stone of rice.

This kind of treatment is definitely a high salary for ordinary soldiers. Then Zhu Youxiao promulgated military law, set up a teaching team, and dismissed the old and weak soldiers.

After some rectification, Tengxiang Siwei immediately changed its appearance.

In particular, after the establishment of the training teams, these training teams were not only responsible for supervising military discipline, but also responsible for instilling in the soldiers the idea of loyalty.

For the time being, these teaching teams are still served by the imperial horse supervisor eunuch, which is not too appropriate, but the penetration rate of military Chinese is not high, so it can only be so for the time being.

In order to grasp this army, Zhu Youxiao soon lived directly in the barracks. Three meals a day are no different from soldiers, which makes the officers and soldiers of Tengxiang Siwei extremely moved, the emperor of brocade clothes and jade food, actually ate in the same pot with them, naturally moved to a lot, and suddenly achieved 'convincing people with virtue'.

What others don't know is that Colonel Zhu You had dinner with a group of officers and soldiers in the barracks, but he ate much more at ease, and after Zhu Youxiao's rectification, the food of the officers and men was also good, and meat must be served in the three meals.

The emperor suddenly lived in the barracks, and a group of Donglin party in the court suddenly became a little vigilant and began to inquire about what the emperor was doing in the barracks.

Soon the Donglin party learned an answer that made them laugh, the emperor wanted to train the four guards of Tengxiang as cavalry, and the training ground was placed on the square of Chengtianmen, and the square was full of chaos every day.

When a group of Donglin party people were eating and drinking in the restaurant, they drank a few more glasses. Yang Lian sneered: "What a child's play! Although Teng Xiang Siwei has some cavalry, they are mainly foot soldiers, and they can't even ride horses, so they dare to train Teng Xiang Siwei into cavalry. ”

"It's just on paper." Zhou Jiamo took a sip of wine, and then commented with a pleasant expression.

At this time, Chengtianmen was indeed chaotic, and many infantry had just turned into cavalry, and they were not even very good at riding.

But is Zhu Youxiao really talking on paper? PS: Everyone is welcome to speak enthusiastically in the book review area, but the author's account has just been registered, and I can't reply for the time being.
