067 If the ox does not drink water, it must be pressed on its head

Although he was very troubled in front, Zhu Youzhen was still refreshed when he came out of Queen Zhou. People are like this, there must always be a place to relax, otherwise, how can they face the endless darkness.

The Forbidden City in the early morning of winter was dark and gloomy, and Zhu Youzhen felt like a candle trying to shine in the dark, unable to pierce the darkness but only to give a little light to the people around him.

rubbed his hands and habitually asked the palace maid to clean up his clothes. Not long after he came, Zhu Youzhen had completely adapted to the living habits of a feudal emperor. The queen wanted to get up but was held down by herself, and she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was still at the age of coquettishness in the future generations, but now she has to worry about the head of a family.

Cover your eyes with a hot towel for a few minutes, then drink another cup of hot tea. Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and rejected the soft sedan chair of the eunuchs, and strode in the biting cold wind.

Not next year, I always have to go to the battlefield to have a look the year after next, and it's not good to develop a lazy habit. A group of people quickly arrived at the Wenhua Palace. Zhu Youzhen thought for a while, turned around and walked towards the cabinet not far from the opposite side.

Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi arrived very early today, and the two cabinet ministers, like the gatekeeper of later generations, gathered around the big iron stove to bake buns and eat. To Zhu Youzhen's surprise, Chen Zilong could also get in. Through the foyer, I heard the bustle inside.

"Brother Chen, you don't know, Brother Qian's New Year Festival doesn't rely on Young Master Zhu's subsidy, just the filial piety of a few silk villages in Suzhou is more than you and me in a few years."

"This said," it sounds like Qian Qianyi, "this year's income is not successful, and several shopkeepers have written to complain." Have you finished reading the excerpt of your household goods all over the world? I just hate this now, Suzhou collects money, goes to the canal and collects money, and when I go to Beijing, I collect money. It is not easy to live in the capital, and it is all made by this canal. ”

"The Suffering of the Canal doesn't have a way for the imperial court?" It was Chen Zilong who asked the question.

"Look at it, Wen Heju's buns are also scorched by you." Zhou Yanru said with a smile: "Millions of workers are tied to food and clothing, who doesn't want to move?" Who would dare to move? Things are in a heap. Let's tell the truth, Young Master Zhu is also a rare enlightened emperor in this dynasty, you send this up to see if the young master moves. You mostly export, why bother with the profits of the local Jingshi. ”

"The exit, the channels to the Franc machine are all in the hands of foreigners and the Zheng family, and the court can't speak, and it's not in vain. A few months have passed, and it is said that the ship sank in the sea, and I don't know if it sank, but I knew that the Zheng family had three more sea boats. ”

"I'm familiar with the affairs of the Zheng family." It was Chen Zilong who answered the call, and their family had a relationship with shipping, so they were relatively familiar with coastal affairs.

"It is said that the big bear in Fujian wants to appease the Zheng family, but the price code is not negotiable, and the Zheng family is also hesitant."

"How to appease, people now go to Taiwan without saying a word. Just like yesterday's home, half of the family is in Nanyang, what can you do? I don't know what happened to you, but last night, I came to ask about no less than 30 people who came to the house, and all of them were rich. Qian Qianyi sighed, "You wait and see, in the next few days, it is estimated that there will be more and more letterheads in the south." ”

Zhou Yanru has been in contact with the emperor a lot recently, and specially advised:

"You and I haven't been short of money lately, so we should pay attention to restraint. There are also arms involved in coming home, and it is estimated that there is a saying on how to deal with it. Wait and see. Zilong is no longer on an errand in the cabinet, but he knows a lot of things, and he has to pay more attention when he goes out. Our young master looks good on weekdays, but in fact, the knives under his hands are also fast. The three dukes, except for the British duke, are all unlucky, huh? ”

Zhu Youzhen listened with interest, satisfied his desire to peep at his courtiers, and then coughed and walked inside.

When the three of them saw the emperor coming in, they were a little distracted, and they didn't know when they came, how much they heard, and hurriedly left their seats to salute the emperor.

Zhu Youzhen generously found a place to sit down, picked two buns and took a look, turned them over and put them down.

"It's the most important thing when it's time to bake the buns. The steamed buns baked by a good master are hot on the inside and bright on the outside. A master with poor craftsmanship is cold on the inside and dark on the outside. The key is the heat, and the heat is not good or small. Isn't that the truth? ”

Zhu Youzhen doesn't care, as long as what he says now is not too outrageous, it is all the truth. Sure enough, all three bowed at the same time:

"The minister is taught."

Zhu Youzhen is a little funny, he is seventeen or eighteen years old, and he still has to call these young people.

"I elected you Zhou Yanru into the cabinet, and you Qian Qianyi into the cabinet, why?"

"Boss Empire. Who can I use? When you lift up your eyes and look at the past, you all know the destiny of heaven. It's good, it's said that it's old and seeking the country, but it's not good, it's just getting and passing. I let you in to see the young blood, not to see you getting old, but remember? ”

"I heard it just now, Qian Qianyi."

"Your young master is now telling you that his family's industry can't go through, and he still has the face to complain as a minister of the Ming Dynasty? I'll leave this matter to you, and invite your shopkeepers to the capital after the beginning of spring. Don't just invite your family, who else wants to sell goods all over the world, please 1,200 of them, and you will preside over and talk to the provinces, Caoyun, and household departments to see if you can talk about something. ”

Qian Qianyi is a scholar, and at this time he hurriedly said:

"The minister is not good at selling goods, or he should ask the household department to take charge and the minister coordinate."

Zhu Youzhen can't see this kind of person:

"If you don't do it, you will return your pen, ink, paper, inkstone, drunken and spring wine money to the shopkeeper. Buy a set of out-of-print books, I heard that you and Wen Aurora bid for 5,000 taels. Without your shopkeeper, do you have enough money? ”

picked up two buns and handed them to Chen Zilong, motioning for him to bring them to me, and then said slowly:

"There is nothing to do, nothing to do in the summer. Is your shopkeeper your night pot? Or are these merchants the Empire's Night Pot? ”

It's very harsh, this is Donglin's common disease, either ignorance or bad.

"That's not what the minister meant."

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said:

"Commerce will be a major department of mine in the future, and you Qian Qianyi, the minister of commerce, will take care of it for me, and from today onwards I will look at the account books, count the money, inspect the goods, and open the store. If you can't do it, you have to do it. Your Young Master Zhu has no room for bargaining here. ”

Qian Qianyi's face turned white, in his heart, the cabinet was a noble minister, and the businessman was simply not in the stream.

"The minister does not receive the order." Qian Qianyi is a bit of a terrier, and the ability of the clear stream terrier neck is first-class.

"No, okay. You've figured it out. I don't want to see the blood flowing in Jiangnan before I chose you, do you think I really can't see bloodshed? According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, you can think about whether there are any rich idlers in Jiangnan. ”

Originally, Zhu Youzhen wanted Donglin to be a pioneer in business reform. These people have needs, strength, and at the same time, they are easy to differentiate.

"I said, this is an opportunity for me to give Donglin your Qian Qianyi faction, don't think that there will be no one in Donglin, and don't think that there will be no one in the world."

Qian Qianyi is the kind of person who needs heavy pressure, and after the heavy pressure, he wrote two unwilling poems to show his heart, and he will do whatever he needs to do after that.

"For a period of two years, after the ministers have finished sorting out, they will ask the emperor to choose another meritorious."

"Done!"

Zhu Youzhen pointed at Zhou Yanru and Chen Zilong, and motioned for them to follow him.

When I walked to the door, I turned back to Qian Qianyi and said, "After the year, my secret guard will go to Zunhua, you can see the fate of the Fan family in Shanxi." ”
