120 whetstone
The landlord's family has no surplus food.
It is said that if you are poor, you will think about change, that is, King Yu, who is a prince, is also full of thoughts in the face of difficulties.
Officials and businessmen have been a family since ancient times, this is not the first initiative of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is meager, coupled with economic development and the budding of capitalism, officials are even more active in business.
Yuwang is a little lazy, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.
The Ming Dynasty was unprecedentedly harsh on corrupt officials, during the Hongwu period, the officials were skinned and filled with grass at every turn, and those officials were not stupid, they had power and resources in their hands, and they used the power in their hands to escort business, and it was naturally easier to succeed.
They are as clear as a mirror, it is a bit ugly to do business, but it is safer than corruption, and it is not without limits to looting the people, and it is also harmful to the official reputation.
Jiajing sent Taiyan out to collect mining taxes to fill the inner treasury, and also meddled in real estate and human traffic, which can be regarded as transactions, with Jiajing as an example, it is difficult for King Yu to be unmoved.
No wonder I brought myself here for this purpose.
This kind of thing is also said to himself, it seems that he has not been beaten in vain for most of the month, and Yuwang has also shown more trust in himself than his subordinates.
It is said that King Yu's mother was from a humble background and was not liked by Jiajing, so King Yu was not treated by Jiajing, so that King Yu developed a somewhat cowering character since he was a child, and even had to pay bribes to officials in order to get the rice he deserved, but as Jiajing grew old, King Yu's status increased day by day.
Especially King Jing, who was fighting for the throne, was forced to go to his own fiefdom, so that King Yu's position became more and more stable.
The status has been improved, and there is the full support of Xu Jie, Gao Gong and others, so that King Yu's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and now he finally has his own ideas.
Yu Jin hesitated, nodded and said, "If you don't steal or rob, you can earn money with your own efforts and wisdom, how can it be inappropriate?" ”
"This king is a prince, will this be passed out" King Yu was still a little hesitant in his heart.
"What's that" Yu Jin said sternly: "Your Royal Highness is a prince, you have not increased the burden on the country, nor have you exploited the people, let alone done anything that endangers the society of the country, where are you afraid of other people's gossip." ”
After that, Yu Jin whispered: "King Yu doesn't have to come forward in person, he just needs to express his stance a little bit when he is healthy, and a small part of the money and silver earned can also be used to do some good deeds, so that some people criticize it, and there is also a pretext." ”
When King Yu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded and said: "It's still Yu Xiaoshu's quick thinking, but what business can be done now, and there are no suitable talents under this king." ”
"Your Highness, if you can trust me, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely do it properly." Yu Jin said with a straight face.
Recently, the money has been like flowing water, and there is no income, so many mouths to eat, just relying on that little money to sit and eat empty, Yu Jin has long wanted to find something to help make up for it, the new mirror business is good, but there is not enough strength, only the guilt of the wall, Yuwang revealed that he has the intention to enter the business.
It's a godsend.
What partner would be more reliable and powerful to have the next king?
Take the opportunity to hug this big tree, and you can walk sideways in Daming in the future.
"Okay, with the words of Yu School Book, this king will be relieved" King Yu said happily: "Then the king will wait for the good news of Yu School Book." ”
A means that has the right to make no money, and a means that has the means to make money but no one escorts him, it can be said that they hit it off.
"Dare to disobey."
"Haha, come, Yu Xiaoshu, let's continue to play chess."
"Your Highness, it's your turn."
The two continued to play chess, discussing some business issues while playing chess, and had experience in their previous lives.
Of course, seeing that Yu Jin was so familiar, Yuwang naturally trusted Yu Jin more, and also showed great interest in the prospects depicted by Yu Jin.
Yu Jin obviously had a very good project, but he didn't say it on the spot.
This is what Yu Jin learned from Zhang Juzheng, doing things is like boiling medicine, paying attention to the heat, as long as the heat arrives, the best effect can be achieved, if you are too anxious, that is, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Don't let yourself appear too urgent, so that you can take the initiative.
For lunch that day, Yu Jin stayed in Yuwang's mansion to accompany Yuwang to eat.
I have to say that Yuwang is relatively easy-going and does not have so many shelves.
Yu Jin was not in a hurry on the surface, but as soon as he returned to his house, he immediately wrote a secret letter and asked Qing'er to bring it to the commander Zhu Xizhong to report on King Yu's intention to do business with him, and conquer his opinion.
Holding the position of the general flag, he can be regarded as an organized person, and Yu Jin must also show respect for the organization at the right time
In the West Garden, Jiajing sat on the futon and meditated, only to see his eyes and nose, nose and heart, and the whole person sat quietly, as if he was comprehending heaven and earth.
Although Jiajing is a little slacking off in government, he likes to think and use his brain, and every day in addition to alchemy, he will take the time to meditate for a while, summing up the gains and losses of the day, including pondering the thoughts of his courtiers.
When it comes to the emperor's mental skills, Jiajing can be said to be among the top three emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Tinghe, Xia Yan, Yan Song and others are all extremely smart, but they still let Jiajing have a lot of fun.
"Whew" I don't know how long it was, Jiajing exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and then opened his eyes slightly.
"Your Majesty, please drink tea." Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly served a cup of tea.
Looking at Zhu Xizhong, who was wearing a Taoist robe and had a respectful face, Jiajing said with some feeling: "Let Aiqing wait for a long time." ”
In the past, it was Yan Song who stood in Zhu Xizhong's position, serving Jiajing for decades, always engraved with holy will, and many things Jiajing released a little meaning, and Yan Song would work hard to do a good job for Jiajing.
Whoever said he would move the minister, he would ask for money and silver, and without saying a word, he would move the silver from the treasury to the inner house; said that he wanted to refine the medicinal materials, and immediately sent a large number of people up the mountain to find them for Jiajing.
But as soon as Xu Jie came to power, everything changed.
Want to build a palace? No money.
Want alchemy? Not available.
Want to go on a big alchemy spree? I don't have this leisure.
In short, Xu Jie's obedience before he took the throne, but Jiajing couldn't smash his job, because Jiajing still had to rely on him to take charge of the overall situation and maintain the stability and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
When Yan Song was in power, the corruption of officials was rampant, and military discipline collapsed, so that foreign tribes took the opportunity to rise, and the north captured the south, so that the Ming Empire had a feeling of wind and rain, especially the armament.
Jiajing just doesn't like Xu Jie, and he can't expel him.
The mess has to be cleaned up by Xu Jie.
"Don't dare, serve the emperor, this is the duty of Weichen." Zhu Xizhong said respectfully.
Jiajing finished drinking this cup of tea, and then asked lightly: "Aiqing, what is the important thing to report this time?" ”
"This"
"It's King Yu's business, let's say, what's the situation?"
Seeing that Zhu Xizhong was a little hesitant, Jiajing immediately guessed that this matter was related to King Yu, this was Yu Jia's reverse scale, no one dared to mention King Yu in Jiajing easily, Jiajing just glanced at it, and guessed Zhu Xizhong's thoughts.
"Back to the emperor, Weichen just received a tip, King Yu is worried about the expenses in the house, and he intends to buy some properties."
"Yuwang?" Jiajing squinted his eyes and said, "Is he enlightened?" ”
Zhu Xizhong whispered: "What does the emperor mean?" ”
"Zhu Aiqing" Jiajing did not answer what Zhu Aiqing meant, but instead chased the question: "How is King Jing doing recently." ”
"Back to the emperor," Zhu Xizhong said with a straight face: "King Jing has recently sent people to make friends with the ministers of the court and the central government, and the activities are a bit frequent. ”
Jiajing nodded and said, "Yes, continue to stare at the two of them, if there is any situation, report to me in time." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"King Jing has always been bold, he has many industries under his name, and he also goes to sea secretly, when it comes to financial resources, King Yu might as well hone it, let them go." Jiajing said with a nonchalant expression.
Zhu Xizhong paused for a moment when he heard this, and then led loudly.
"Alright, let's go."
The emperor is really old, this is Zhu Xizhong's first thought after going out.
On weekdays, Jiajing doesn't care about taxes, he is immersed in the great cause of practicing Dan, he has always been a cold bystander, and once thought that he could live forever, but in the past two years, his body is not as good as day by day, and no matter how advanced his cultivation is, he can't resist the destruction of the years.
It's time for the final training of the heirs.
There is only one dragon chair, and only one can ascend to the throne, and they all say that Ci is not in charge of the army, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth, and before King Yu ascends the throne, find a "whetstone" for the next one, so that he can understand and grow in the struggle.
Not for anything else, some ministers of the Ming Dynasty, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, whether it is the loyal King Yu or the shrewd King Jing, they are definitely not the opponents of those civil and military ministers.
