Chapter 0515 - Concerns about the Strike
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen felt a warm feeling in his heart, no matter what Tian Jianzhang's intention was when he said this, being able to say such things made him feel good, what he valued was not a person's talent, but whether his thoughts were closer to his own interests! He really thinks Tian Jianzhang is good at the moment! "Tian Gongzi, do it."
Tian Hongyu couldn't stop it when he saw it, so he simply played a round on the side, "Lord Zhen, Jianzhang means that the reform of the imperial court is very good, but it may not be smooth sailing, it is no wonder, there will be obstacles in everything to do, not to mention the major affairs of the state." Come, come, eat more vegetables. ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "That's right, I just want to ask Tian Gongzi, what obstacles may I encounter?" It's okay, I can swear to God, I will never say it outside, besides, if I really am good for the emperor, the emperor will naturally not leave trouble at will, you see, which of these ministers who are now reused in the court is a flatterer? Even if there are flatterers, they go up because of their own knowledge and ability to do things for the emperor! Definitely not because of their flattering skills. is upright and shrewd, these two points are what the emperor appreciates the most. ”
Tian Jianzhang looked at Jian Xun Tower, then at Shi Kefa, and smiled slightly, "What the inspector said is good, but I said this, definitely not because the inspector said anything?" No matter how good you say, I still want to contribute to the emperor, I have just said that the emperor's idea is very good, but I am afraid of being in a hurry! This time the reform of the Tea Horse Law, as well as today's bidding, these actions. It's all too big. The emperor may have underestimated the strength of the Huizhou merchant gang. It may also be that the influence of the imperial power has been overestimated, even if the prosecutor and the Shi have now taken Yangzhou, please forgive me, even today, the imperial court has restored effective control over Nanjing, even if the emperor arrives in Nanzhili today! Still can't do it! If I didn't expect, Yangzhou City is now under lockdown, and I don't know what happened inside yet. Once the lockdown is lifted! They're going to make a move right away! ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was shocked! Before he could speak, Shi Kefa spoke first, "How is it?" Tian Gongzi said that it was okay. ”
Tian Jianzhang poured himself a glass of wine and smiled bitterly, "What the emperor means, I can probably guess that the emperor is accurate in everything he does, but with all due respect, there are always some assumptions, just take this bidding as an example." This is not new in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Although the emperor's approach is novel, the result is not much different from the past, this time the Shanshan merchant gang did not take any advantage, but did not suffer any losses, but those small and medium-sized scattered gangs and Jiangxi merchant gangs made a lot of profits! The Huizhou merchant gang suffered the greatest loss, and no one would be willing to let their interests be divided! They're going to make a move! The consequences of these people's moves may be more of a headache for the emperor than if the government did not listen to the dispatch and the displaced people rose up! Because! Behind them are the big and small businesses in the entire Jiangnan! And the millions of merchants who follow these people to make a living! This is the backbone of the Ming economy! ”
These problems, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has long thought about it, he has the psychology of breaking the jar and falling! Thinking that it is not under his control everywhere anyway, take Yangzhou first and hold these business cores in his hands! As for the next consequences, he can't control it!
Shi Kefa wiped the sweat that had oozed from his head in a panic, "Tian Gongzi, you mean that they dare to strike the market?" ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was also secretly frightened when he heard the word strike! Although he knows a little about the economy, controlling the overall situation has always been his weakness! If there is really a strike, the consequences can be imagined!
The life of the displaced people in the poor area is not passing, but Jiangnan has always been very stable! Because of the large amount of wealth in their hands, even if Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng's peasant army reached the peak stage, they were only going to the south of the Yangtze River to make a circle, and they couldn't gain a foothold at all! It can be seen that the strength of Jiangnan! But if Jiangnan is also chaotic, this kind of consequence, even Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, can't bear it!
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said in a deep voice, "Tian Gongzi, strike the market, do they dare?" They themselves are also merchants, and merchants can only make money if they look forward to economic stability. ”
Tian Jianzhang nodded with a smile, and glanced at his father Tian Hongyu, it seemed that both of them admired the knowledge of this young prosecutor, although they didn't know how old the inspector was, they all knew that he should be about twenty years old, and they didn't expect that he could have such a deep insight at such a young age!
"Lord Inspector, what you said is right, businessmen don't have the courage to strike the market, and they won't take this step anyway until they can't survive! A strike is a rebellion, and it will make all the current qiē come to naught! But don't forget, the Huizhou Merchant Gang is not only an economic whole, but also the successive officials of Nanzhili, and even the entire officialdom of Nanzhili, as well as the survival of civil associations at all levels left over from the Restoration Society, the Literary Society, and the Eunuch Party! Many of them are not afraid of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty collapses, it will not be an opportunity for them, they will not put the country first! They will only put their own interests first! This is the emperor's biggest disadvantage compared to them! The emperor can't think like this, he can't do what he wants, he must consider the shopping malls in Jiangnan and the people in Jiangnan! ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt that the whole person seemed to be pricked by a needle, indeed, many of the things he did before were considered from his own point of view, from the perspective of Beizhili, he did not seriously think about the problem from the perspective of the overall situation!
Shi Kefa was speechless in shock, with a bitter face, he wiped the beads of sweat that had dripped from his nose for a long time, he was suddenly helped to his current position, he originally felt very abrupt and unconfident, and now he felt that the situation was even more serious! "Tian Gongzi, you say so, are they really likely to have a large-scale strike? How dare they openly rebel? ”
Tian Jianzhang sighed, "Whether they dare to openly rebel, this is not clear at present, but I don't think this possibility is high, but to take Yangzhou back, put pressure on the imperial court, and restore the economic order of Yangzhou, I believe that they are completely daring, so the scale of the boycott may be limited to the whole of Jiangsu!"
