Zhu Youzhu glanced at Zhu Houzhao with a smile and said, "Speak, what do you want to say?"

Zhu Houzhao finally mustered up the courage and said, "Father, what the son wants to say is Jubao Firm." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Well...... Zhu Youzhu leaned back on the chair, looked thoughtful, and then said: "Okay, you come on, I want to see if your words make sense." After that, his eyes fell on Zhu Houzhao, and he looked like he was encouraged to continue.

Father and son for so many years, to be honest, although there are a lot of exchanges, but rarely talk about family and country affairs, Zhu Youzhu hopes that his son can be a little interested in this, but Zhu Houzhao's interest is not here, sometimes Zhu Youzhu wants to guide a few words, he is just giggling vaguely in the past, and now since this son takes the initiative to talk about this kind of thing, Zhu Youzhu feels that no matter whether he is naïve or not, or something else, he should encourage it.

Zhu Houzhao paused before saying: "Erchen thinks that Yang Jian's recital is really ridiculous, and my father should immediately punish him for his crimes to set an example." ”

Zhu Youzhu frowned, looking a little displeased, and said, "That's what you're going to say?" If you want me to cure his sins, then tell me how ridiculous his recital is, and those who are in power cannot act according to likes and dislikes, and I know that you are good with those people in the Treasure Firm, but only about intimacy, whether good or bad, it will not work. ”

Zhu Youzhu consciously reminded Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao shook his head stubbornly and said, "Father is wrong......

Zhu Youzhu almost didn't vomit blood, this guy opened his mouth that he was wrong, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he had to say: "Okay, good, good, you said I was wrong, then you might as well tell me where the mistake is." ”

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said: "First, Yang Jian's list of crimes is indeed true, and his sons dare not hide it, the firm has indeed done a lot of illegal things, but my father has ever thought that the reason why the firm can have this is that it is inseparable from these illegal things, if the firm wants to make a profit, it must first monopolize the trade of the world, if all countries can compete at will, the profit will have to be divided into two, three or even four, now there are so many people who rely on the firm to eat, once the profit is reduced, There will be no need to lay off personnel, and how many people will have nothing to do? What Weichen knows is that now many places in various countries have begun to follow the example of the Ming Dynasty, and also want to set up workshops and build fleets to make profits, once they have their own workshops, how can they buy more expensive Ming merchants, the final result is that not only is it difficult to maintain the firm, but many workshops of the Ming Dynasty will also be affected, and the merchants can not make a profit, but has the father ever thought about how many people in the Ming Dynasty rely on the workshop for a living, once the situation erodes, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will break my bones. Master Liu once said that Sheji is the skin, and the grace is the hair, and if the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached? If even the people of the Ming Dynasty can't be stable and happy, what is the meaning of this so-called blessing Quartet? ”

"Emperor Yang of Sui in the Sui Dynasty, the world has been turbulent, and the people have been displaced, but when foreign envoys came, he was extremely extravagant, ordering people to decorate roads and trees with silk, and to show the wealth of the Great Sui with gold and jade, what was the result?"

"Therefore, Erchen thinks that the first thing I think of in the Ming Dynasty is myself, and as for the favor, I can only consider it after ensuring that I am rich. Needless to say, the benefits brought by the merchant to the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the income in the palace, just those profitable merchants, as well as countless sailors, guards, men, craftsmen, and apprentices who depend on them for survival, how many families can these people support with a fixed monthly salary? Therefore, Erchen thinks that the commercial bank is already a problem of the country, which cannot be underestimated, and once it changes at will, he is afraid that there will be chaos. ”

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help frowning, and said, "I didn't say that the firm would be abolished, so Yang Jian just said that the firm would be placed in the name of the imperial court." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "The imperial court? On the surface, the imperial court is the Ming Dynasty and the father's, but the father is lacking in skills, can he still manage the business house himself? If it can't, then it must be up to the officials to take care of it, and my father still remembers the boat. ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "What's wrong with the boat? ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "The cao boat is always the imperial court's, it stands to reason that it is also the emperor's, but the emperor doesn't know what the cao boat has become now, and the officials who manage the cao boat themselves often carry goods into Beijing, and the final result is that the imperial court loses a lot of grain from the south every year, but it fattens many officials." Your Majesty, if the trading house is also like this boat, when the fleet brings out the goods of the trading house, so many officials in the world, everyone wants to get a piece of the pie, the final result is that two of the ten ships of cargo are the goods of the trading house, it is already burning high incense, at least seven or eight are for others to take out, people make a fortune, but the damage is only the father, don't look at the father and the son of the emperor now only account for fifty percent of the profit of the firm, but the son can assert that if there is a court that occupies the firm, Every year, the merchant bank will only deport less silver into Beijing than it does now. In the end, the merchants had no benefits, the people had no livelihood, and the income of the inner treasury was greatly reduced, but the cheapest one was nothing more than the princes in the court, and the father and emperor needed to think twice before acting. ”

"More importantly, when the firm was established, everyone pooled the capital and silver together to prepare for the establishment, and now the imperial court wants to occupy it, wouldn't it make the imperial court lose its trust in the world, and let the father and emperor lose its trust in the world? Therefore, Erchen thought that this matter must not be done. ”

When he said a lot, he seemed a little unconfident, but Zhu Youzhu looked at him with a smile and said with a smile: "These words were taught to you by your master Liu." Hey, if you can say this, I am also very pleased, but on the contrary, you are parroting, Liu Chengfeng, this guy, what he wants to say is for you to say, I know his thoughts, he is against Yang Jian, but I am afraid that he will come out to speak, so that I suspect that he has selfish interests......"

Zhu Houzhao blushed and said, "This ...... This was said by Erchen himself, not instigated by Master Liu, but he invited me to say a few kind words in front of my father, but he did not teach Erchen how to speak. ”

"Really?" Zhu Youzhu was interested and said, "I don't believe it. ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Why doesn't my father believe it? Although Erchen usually acts as Meng Lang, but in that firm, Master Liu has actually always been the shopkeeper, and many meetings of the shareholders' bureau have been presided over by Erchen, and even many resolutions of the firm are made by Erchen, so it is said that several things mentioned in the book are personally deployed by Erchen. ”

When Zhu Houzhao said this, he suddenly realized that he had missed his mouth, so he hurriedly silenced and glanced at Zhu Youzhu cautiously.

Zhu Youzhu was stunned at first, and then said with a solemn face: "You have something to do with you about many things in Yang Jian's book?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Houzhao lost his confidence, he didn't know what to do for a while, even if he denied it now, it was too late, how could Zhu Youzhu not know what kind of person Zhu Houzhao was, he straightened his face and said, "It seems that it's really you."

Zhu Houzhao was under Zhu Youzhang's stern gaze, and he was suddenly scared, after all, he was still a child, how could he have the ability to open his eyes and say nonsense, so he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Erchen is dead." In fact...... The son did deploy several operations, but the father ...... This is their fault in the first place, just like the Korean country, most of the goods of the trading house are turned over from it, in fact, this is a huge benefit to the Korean country, but they are especially not satisfied, they actually want to build their own fleet, and compete with the fleet of our trading house for trade with the Japanese country, if the ministers do not give them some strength, how can this trading house be maintained? The Joseon State has a geographical advantage and convenience for the trade of the Japanese State, and if the sons sit idly by, wouldn't the sons of the major shareholders live up to the name? There is a saying in the commercial house: the world is bustling, all for profit; The soil in the world is all for profit. If the firm wants to make a profit, it must have the means, and the power is both encouraged, otherwise it is said that the Korean state will build a fleet today, and it will be said that Annam, Chenla, and Luzon will build a fleet. ”

Zhu Youzhang's face was flat, and he was unaware of Zhu Houzhao's words, but said lightly: "I know what you said, you are the prince, even if you make a mistake, I can't punish you, you go down, I'm a little tired." ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to stay here for a long time, in fact, before he came, Liu Chengfeng did look for him, said that he was worried, and asked him to speak well in front of the emperor no matter what, he was a shocked surname, Master Liu asked for what else to say, and immediately entered the palace, originally he thought about a lot of words, he thought that his father would definitely think so, who knew that this was the result, he didn't know what his father was thinking now, but he knew that he couldn't stay here anymore, anyway, his heart was very weak, Hearing that his father asked him to go out, he was like being amnestied, and hurriedly said: "What the son said, please think twice about my father, the son of the emperor has retired for the time being, my father is not in good health, take care of the dragon's body." Then he bowed and went out of the temple.

When Zhu Houzhao left, Zhu Youzhang's face became more deep, he lifted the pen, spread out a blank paper, and then picked up the pen and wrote the word "firm" on the paper, then thought about it, and wrote a Li Dongyang, and then wrote Liu Chengfeng, the prince, one by one names fell on the white paper, Zhu Youzhang's eyes were fixed on the prince's name, and the bright eyes stared at it for a long time, and then put the pen away, and a little smile flashed on his face, with a little relief in the smile.
