Chapter 237: The Rich Rival the Country
Zhang Anshi didn't expect Zhu Di to react so much.
The body subconsciously took a step back.
Zhu Di raised his head and looked at Zhang Anshi a little nervously: "How many are in this account?" ”
Zhang Anshi said: "This is just a rough number, the specific amount, the minister does not dare to guarantee that it is completely matched, but the real number is estimated, it should be up and down in this account." ”
Zhu Di nodded.
Zhang Anshi continued: "The gold and silver copied out by Ji Gang are about 3.7 million taels, and the Pu family's side has a total of 9.4 million taels. That's about 13 million taels. ”
Zhu Di's face flushed slightly, this amount directly made the old Zhu family's internal money more than double.
Zhu Di still couldn't help but be shocked: "With so much silver, how can there be so much silver?" ”
"Ji Gang's side relied on forcible seizure, coupled with a large amount of stealing official salt. The situation of the Pu family is even more complicated, they have gone through three dynasties, and they have been doing the business of sea trade, and the silver of the world has been continuously earned through smuggling and sea trade, and this trade is a huge profit for them, and the minister even expects that the silver they earn is far from this amount. ”
Zhu Di opened his eyes slightly and said, "Far more than that?" You mean, they also hid silver? ”
Zhang Anshi shook his head: "No, what they are doing is a head-killing business, if this head-killing business wants to last for a long time, it is indispensable to make points up and down, but I am afraid that the cost of just hitting points will exceed at least half of the profits." What really comes to them, I'm afraid there may not be so many. ”
Zhu Di muttered to himself: "You mean, if our business bank is established, it will make more profits?" ”
Zhang Anshi said firmly: "Yes, the minister's side has recruited many people, and they confessed that the gold and silver that the Pu family earns from overseas every year is more than four million taels, and the terrible thing is that it is ...... These sales, almost profiteering. Therefore, the gross profit is as high as 35.6 million taels, real silk and porcelain, and ships, which do not cost much silver, or because the demand for silk and porcelain overseas is huge, and the price has skyrocketed, so a shipload of silk and porcelain is shipped out, and the price of silk and porcelain is like gold. ”
"So the minister took over this sea trade, and planned to go in two directions, one is to open up the sea route by going to the West, and continue to let the personnel of the sea trade go farther into the world to promote our treasures. On the other hand, without the expenses of the upper and lower officials, a large part can be saved here, so the minister predicts that the sales of maritime trade in the future will exceed 600 to 8 million taels, but it can save expenses and save a lot of expenses. This net profit should be more than two hundred to three million taels. ”
Zhu Di was quite excited: "Can you make so much money in one year?" If so, with all this money, I will not be worried. ”
Zhang Anshi smiled: "It's just ...... The sea is not very peaceful, and on the side of the trading houses, on the one hand, they have to build more ships. On the other hand, this ship ...... I'm afraid that I also have to have some armament to rest assured, if not...... Once you encounter a pirate, it will not be safe. ”
Zhu Di nodded, and said, "In this matter, you write a recital." ”
Zhang Anshi continued: "In addition, the minister is thinking, in addition to silk and porcelain, I can also find a way to take some other treasures to sell at sea, some goods, may not be as profitable as silk and porcelain, but as long as it is profitable, it is always good." ”
Zhu Di said thoughtfully: "It makes sense, in this way, more ships are needed, and more manpower is needed?" ”
Zhang Anshi said: "Exactly." ”
Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "Let's try it first." ”
In the past, because it was smuggling, the scale was limited.
But now it's obviously different, the trading house is doing business on the basis of the Pu family, so ...... Some commercial goods, which are not as profitable as silk and porcelain, can also be sold overseas.
I'm afraid that when this news comes out, many merchants in the world will be overjoyed.
After all...... In the past, only a small number of silk and porcelain merchants benefited, but now, Qixia trading houses may need to purchase other goods on a large scale.
The annual purchase must be a staggering amount, and it is definitely a feast.
Zhang Anshi paused, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a reluctant request, the minister wants to take out a little silver from the business house and build some mansions in Qixia." ”
"What, sell the house again?" Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise.
Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "No, it's for the captain of Nanzhen Fusi, as well as the people of the commercial house, to build some mansions, mainly to reward older people." ”
Zhu Di frowned: "This cost is not small. ”
Zhang Anshi had been prepared for a long time, so he talked eloquently: "Although it is not small, it is very useful, after all, Your Majesty cannot send hungry soldiers." It is not easy for the big guys to work for His Majesty together, and it is not easy to live in the capital, if this problem can be solved and improved, everyone will be even more desperate in the future. What's more, now that the profits of the commercial banks are large enough, and the land is also ready-made, if it is really necessary to build it on a large scale, the cost is actually limited. ”
After all, Zhu Di is the commander of the army, so he naturally knows the truth that if you want someone to contribute, you must be willing to give up.
So he immediately said: "Let's draft the charter first, and I'll take a look at it." ”
Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, in addition...... There is one more thing ...... minister"
Today, taking advantage of Zhu Di's happiness, Zhang Anshi has more things to play, and at this time he said: "Now that the business house has become a fragrant bait, the minister is thinking about it...... In the future, a large number of personnel will have to be recruited, and the commercial bank will involve more matters such as accounting, cashiering, warehousing, management, and even going to sea, so the minister is thinking...... The scale of this business house is getting bigger and bigger, and His Majesty and his ministers can't do it in their hearts and minds for every person they recruit. So...... Can new recruits also use the recruitment method in the future? ”
"You, you ......" Zhu Di laughed: "You are addicted to discipline." ”
Zhang Anshi also smiled and said: "Recruitment has the advantage of recruitment, so as not to mix many people into it, the good and the bad, and some people fill it with private individuals...... Your Majesty, if you are engaged in business and not charity, do you still have a group of idle people? ”
Zhu Di didn't intend to be embarrassed, and said very simply: "I'm on time." ”
Zhang Anshi said: "Here, there is a charter, and I invite Your Majesty to look at it." ”
Zhang Anshi had already prepared for this, and as soon as he saw Zhu Di nodding, he immediately sent the charter forward.
Zhu Di took it and took a closer look, it was planned in detail, and the content of the exam was actually quite simple.
Of course, it was Zhang Anshi's side that produced the papers, and most of the test questions were the subject content of the official school.
Zhu Di couldn't help but wonder: "What you learn in the official academy can also be used to recruit people from the trading house?" ”
Zhang Anshi said seriously: "Since it is an exam, it always involves arithmetic, literacy and hyphenation and other studies. What's more, there are many people who are now preparing for the official school school and have learned a lot of relevant knowledge, but it is not easy for the government school to be admitted. Now the commercial houses are also recruiting, at least giving them a way out. ”
Zhu Di said thoughtfully: "It's okay, lest someone be restless when they fall off the list." In fact, I don't understand the business of this business, and if you propose it, you won't be wrong if you think about it. ”
For Zhang Anshi, Zhu Di obviously has a high degree of trust.
But Your Majesty doesn't understand, you can't just say that Your Majesty really doesn't understand, Zhang Anshi has always thought that it is one thing for people to be modest, and it is another thing for you to have a correct attitude, so he smiled dryly: "Your Majesty knows too much, and the ministers can't ...... the horse."
Zhu Di waved his hand: "It's almost there." ”
"Oh."
Seeing Zhu Di's answer, Zhang Anshi smiled.
Why is the house divided, on the one hand, it is to buy the hearts of the firms and the captains of Nanzhen Fusi, so that they are willing to work hard. On the other hand, it is also to improve the treatment of school captains and business personnel.
In this world, the vast majority of people are in a precarious situation, and hunger is still the main problem of this era.
Therefore, to be able to find an errand with no worries about food and clothing, backed by the royal family and the Marquis of Annan, is definitely a master.
Although it is not as good as those so-called Jinshi and Juren masters, the benefits and treatment are not much better than those of the talents of this era.
A more affluent life, a more decent income, and the protection brought by Jinyiwei and the firm are enough for many people in the world to be able to enter the Jinyiwei and the firm to become an opportunity for the carp to leap into the dragon gate.
And Zhang Anshi gave these people a good opportunity, that is, the exam.
If you want to live a better life, just take the exam.
The content of the exam is no longer the Four Books and Five Classics, but a variety of emerging disciplines, as long as you can be admitted, you will be guaranteed a house to live in and a full meal to eat.
No matter how ugly you look and how poor your former family is, the matchmaker will break through your threshold.
It is almost conceivable that in the future, how many educational institutions for these disciplines, and even some ethnography and righteousness societies, will spring up like mushrooms.
After all, it is too difficult to test the fame, and the Jinshi is tested every three years, and there are only about 200 people in one subject.
Lifting people...... The difficulty is by no means low, and the probability of high school can be said to be very small.
So why don't you settle for the next best thing?
The recruitment of this comptoir has at least thousands of places to be hired every year as the comptoir has expanded over the years.
And Jinyi Wei needs at least 800 to 1,000 people per year.
As long as you have the level of being admitted to the Xiucai and learning the knowledge of various subjects, you can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing.
Zhang Anshi has always believed that the ancients were pedantic in the minority, and the vast majority of people were very realistic.
Don't look at the fact that there are many pedantic Confucianists now, but in fact...... Once there are benefits and sweetness, new disciplines will inevitably continue to grow.
When the vast majority of people in the world begin to study various subjects, it will also bring about rapid progress in these disciplines.
If you don't dig up the roots of the Four Books and Five Classics, this Ming Dynasty is just spinning in place, and when those who use these disciplines to arm their teeth knock on the door of the country, and then want to catch up, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
Zhang Anshi is a human being, as a migrant worker in his previous life, in fact, he knows best that there are some things, no matter how good you claim to them, everyone may not believe them.
But when you tell them directly, as long as you are willing to learn and follow me, you will have a house to live in, food to eat, a wife and children, and no worries about food and clothing, then there is no need for Zhang Anshi to waste any tongues, and there will be countless people, like moths to a fire, working hard for the vision and direction you propose.
It's really good to have money.
At this moment, Yishiha tiptoed in, he saluted to Zhu Di, as if he had something to say, but seeing that it was Zhang Anshi who was with Zhu Di, he did not shy away from Zhu Di, so he whispered: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhao is also known as illness...... Say yes ......"
When Zhu Di heard this, his face showed anger, and he said with a bit of mockery: "Heh...... These days, he is sick every three or five times, is this trying to pretend to be sick? ”
Zhu Di has been waiting for his youngest son to come and ask him for his guilt.
But until the beginning of spring, Zhu Gaosui kept saying that he couldn't get sick, which not only made Zhu Di sympathetic, but showed an expression of disgust.
The account of the 'immortals' last time has not been calculated!
Not only did this guy not ask for sin, but he was sick every day.
What Zhu Di thought of was Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, who must have wanted to falsely claim that he was sick and get away with it. On the other hand, he was afraid that he would force him to return to his domain.
At this time, I still want to stay in the capital, and my purpose is self-evident, and it is clear that I still have wishful thinking.
Yisha said again: "The imperial doctor did go to see it and said it was ...... said that King Zhao was in unbearable pain...... ...... true"
Zhu Di said with a calm face: "Needless to say, this kid is the best at pretending, I want to see how long he wants to pretend." ”
Zhu Di couldn't help but be angry when he thought of his sons, the second son was like this, the third son was the same, the eldest son was virtuous, but it was not like him.
is the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji, who is more and more like him, which is also Zhu Di's only comfort.
He didn't dare to say more, and nodded hurriedly.
Zhang Anshi only stood aside silently, he didn't want to get involved in King Zhao's affairs, so he said stupidly: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, the minister will retire." ”
Zhu Di's good mood was obviously not left at all, and he didn't have the heart to talk to Zhang Anshi at this time, so he only hummed lightly.
Zhang Anshi immediately fled, waited out of the palace, breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned to Zhang's house in the inner city first.
The more you look at this house, the more unpleasant it becomes, the area is small, and the walls are low, which makes Zhang Anshi feel insecure.
Zhang Anshi looked forward to Qixia's Annan Hou Mansion every day, and hurriedly built it.
It's just that today, outside this house, there are many cars from the East Palace.
When the guards of the East Palace saw Zhang Anshi returning home, they hurriedly greeted him and said, "I've seen Master Hou." ”
Zhang Anshi was stunned and said, "What's the matter, my brother-in-law is here?" ”
The guard said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to King Zhao's Mansion to visit His Royal Highness King Zhao's condition. It's His Royal Highness the Emperor's grandson, he misses the Hou Ye, so he ......"
When Zhang Anshi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
Look, this nephew has a conscience, it's terrible.
So he hurried his steps to the mansion, and said, "I know." ”
Quickly walk into the house, all the way to the backyard, here are the eunuchs and palace ladies who come with them, all the way over, everyone who sees them salutes Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi walked to the wing room of the back house in one breath, and there were more eunuchs here.
They hurriedly wanted to meet them, or go into the wing room to report, Zhang Anshi waved his hand, signaling them not to be silent.
When I stood outside the wing, I heard a voice from the small hall here: "Uncle, I know now that my aunt is the best, my uncle is different, and my uncle always has bad intentions." ”
The smile on Zhang Anshi's face gradually disappeared, and his face pulled down.
Then I heard Xu Jingyi say: "Your Highness, in fact, your uncle misses you every day and often talks about you. ”
"That must also say that I am not good, that is not good, I know his thoughts, he is afraid that in the future I will kill my relatives in righteousness. When I was younger, he always teased me...... I...... My ......"
After a pause here, Zhu Zhanji continued: "He is afraid that I will settle accounts with him in the future, and my uncle is still stingy, and he says every day that the family should talk about family affection, but in fact, he only goes in and out, and he doesn't pull out a dime......"
Xu Jingyi seemed to be a little unsure of how to defend Zhang Anshi.
Then I heard Zhu Zhanji lower his voice: "Uncle, you must be careful Uncle, I heard people say that this person with a straight nose and a thick mouth, a peach blossom face, and fine skin and tender flesh must be born lewd." Uncle, look at your uncle's face, isn't it just a romantic and lascivious appearance? You have to watch him closely, if not, in the future, he will be like Emperor Yang of Sui and King Shang, indulging in lust all day long, messing with flowers and grass every day, and staying up all night...... I'm worried about my uncle, he can't bear it. ”
When Xu Jingyi heard this, she seemed to be dumbfounded, and she was speechless.
Zhang Anshi felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted.
I finally settled down, couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed in with a scream.
He waved his fists, his face was red with anger, and he scolded directly: "Zhu Zhanji, I'm not done with you." ”
Zhu Zhanji was startled, immediately jumped off the chair, drooped his head and said, "Uncle, I'm worried about you......"
Xu Jingyi's pretty face was already red, and she got up and said, "Forget it, children are not sensible, they are talking and playing." ”
Zhang Anshi snorted coldly: "This is called ignorance? I see that he understands very well, this shameless person, something without conscience, oh my God, I am going to complain to my sister. ”
Zhang Anshi turned around and was about to run out angrily.
Zhu Zhanji also ran out of the room with a smoke, shouting as he walked: "I said that my uncle taught me this, otherwise I am a child, how would I know these things?" ”
Zhang Anshi scolded: "I know, it must have been taught by the eunuchs around you, these beasts dare to mislead the emperor and grandson." ”
These words suddenly frightened the eunuchs outside one by one, and they bowed down in horror one by one: "Wronged! ”
Zhang Anshi and Zhu Zhanji ignored them, and the two of them hurried in the direction of the gate of Zhang's house, arguing with each other.
"Uncle, you know how to scold people every day, and now you blame me."
"I'm in charge of your birds, why don't you dare to discipline your imperial grandfather?"
Zhu Zhanji said confidently: "Grandpa Huang is more fierce. ”
"Alright, don't say it! Hum! You wait and see, see how my sister cleans you up. ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "We will not have good fruits to eat. ”
Zhang Anshi said: "What evil have I created? ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "Uncle, forget it, let's make peace." ”
"You make me around...... Do you still want to make peace? ”
"But you also said that the imperial grandfather eats dung and runs naked, and you even arrange the imperial grandfather."
Zhu Zhanji said loudly.
was so frightened that the eunuchs and palace ladies only hated themselves for why they gave birth to a pair of ears, and they were terrified when they heard it one by one.
Zhang Anshi's body suddenly froze, and said, "Don't wronged me!" What I'm saying is that someone outside says that you are the emperor's grandfather, but this is not what I said, I just paraphrased. Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji, you are so vicious, uncle, I don't worry about you, so I just gossip with you, but you are going around talking to people. ”
Zhu Zhanji blushed: "Uncle, forget it, I won't dare next time." ”
Zhang Anshi said: "Count your acquaintance, next time, you will see how I clean you up." ”
The two of them each found the steps, and then turned back to the wing.
When he stepped into the threshold, Zhang Anshi was already holding Zhu Zhanji's hand.
Zhu Zhanji said with an innocent smile: "I like Uncle the most." ”
Zhang Anshi still had a dark face, and only nodded.
Take your seats.
Xu Jingyi smiled and said: "Husband, the emperor and grandson said that King Zhao is sick, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will visit with his sister, so it stands to reason that we should also visit." ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "I didn't say that, what I said was that the third uncle must be pretending to be sick." ”
Zhang Anshi nodded and said: "Zhan Ji is right, I look at the face of this King Zhao, he was born lewd and cheap, he must not be a good person, and only his brother-in-law is kind-hearted, so he will always be fooled." ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "Yes, the third uncle is bad, he always looks at me with strange eyes when no one is around, as if he is going to eat me." ”
Zhang Anshi said: "Okay, it's their business that he's bad, no matter what, it's also your elder, don't always say bad things about him." ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "Compared with the third uncle, my uncle really feels sorry for me. ”
Zhang Anshi felt a little more useful at this time, touched his head, and his voice became much gentler: "My family Zhanji is still very well-behaved most of the time, but there are always bad people around him to mislead him." ”
After keeping Zhu Zhanji and having lunch, the eunuch urged Zhu Zhanji to return to the East Palace, and Zhu Zhanji said goodbye unhappily.
As soon as Zhu Zhanji's front foot left, someone came to visit him on the back foot.
"Master Hou."
It was Imperial Physician Xu who came, and Imperial Physician Xu said: "Xiaguan came to visit early in the morning, and it can be seen that there is a car from the East Palace outside, so he has been hesitant and dare not come to the door, and waited for the car from the East Palace to drive away, and then came to visit." ”
Zhang Anshi sat in the front hall, took a sip of tea, and then said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Zhang Anshi didn't think that Imperial Doctor Xu came to the door specifically to gossip, but he also asked very directly.
I saw that Imperial Physician Xu's face was scarred, and many injuries made him break his appearance, so that when he even laughed, he seemed to be bitter and hateful.
In layman's terms, it is a declining face.
"Since you learned the art of enema with Master Hou, Xia Guan has benefited a lot, it turns out that enema has such and such benefits. Last time, Hou Ye had no intention of mentioning that this treatment must first understand the human body, not a good job, you can't be a good doctor, the lower officials have a heartbeat, these days, they all follow the work to dissect the corpse, but occasionally have some experience. ”
After that, he took out a book very seriously, which was densely packed with many things, and in addition, he also drew various graphics of his heart, liver, spleen and stomach on the book.
"What the Hou Ye said is really reasonable, the lower officials have noticed a lot of things, but they are just ...... Although there are observations, there are some things, but they are still at a loss and have no clue, and the lower officials should not bother the Hou Ye, but they ...... There are many questions that are really not allowed to enter the door. A few days ago, although I also read a few medical books of Hou Ye in the library, but ...... is still half-understood, and it is difficult to solve the puzzles, so I am brazen and come to the door to seek advice. ”
Doctor Xu said sincerely.
It's miserable.
Now in the hospital, it is no longer as idle as it was at the beginning, and it is even more difficult to touch the fish.
Because in the past, no matter what disease was cured, or what accident occurred, after all, it was possible to prevaricate the past with a reason such as being terminally ill and none of my business.
But now when the nobles in the palace encounter this situation, they will ask a question: Why can Zhang Anshi be governed, but you can't?
Ordinary patients, asking questions, nothing.
But if the noble people have such doubts, then they may have to make Imperial Doctor Xu unable to get out of bed for a few days.
As the imperial doctor, in the past few months, when he was a patient lying on the sickbed and chirping, there were more than when he was a doctor, what kind of life was this!
Now, he really can't get mixed up, so he has no choice but to decide to learn medicine honestly.
Seeing his thirst for knowledge, Zhang Anshi also said tolerantly: "What questions, you can talk about them." ”
Imperial Physician Xu was flattered, and immediately stepped forward, took the book, and turned a page.
On this page, seven or eight lungs are drawn: "Hou Ye, look, there are seven lungs here, but Xia Guan found that the third lung is a little abnormal, this lung is actually sores and pus, and there are scars nearby, obviously, this can't be caused by trauma, but Xia Guan has doubts, this lung has no trauma, can it also have sores?" ”
Zhang Anshi said: "Well, it means that there is a lesion in this lung." ”
Doctor Xu said: "If you have a problem with your lungs, can you be cured by taking the things that clear away heat and detoxify?" ”
Zhang Anshi said: "People have the function of self-healing, just like we cut our hands and can heal in a few days, but if you draw correctly, such a large lesion, I am afraid that it is a little difficult to rely on this." ”
Imperial Physician Xu said, "In this way...... But how is it good? ”
Zhang Anshi said: "There are many ways, one is to prescribe the right medicine, but it is not easy to prescribe the right medicine for such an internal disease." If the lesion is too large, and it is difficult to heal for a long time, and even involves a danger to life, I am afraid that I can only find a way to cut it out. ”
"Cut off?" Doctor Xu was taken aback.
He couldn't imagine how this lung was cut, so he subconsciously said: "How to remove it?" ”
"Disemboweled."
Imperial Physician Xu snorted: "If you disembowel, won't this person die?" ”
Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "This may not be, it depends on your ability." ”
Imperial Physician Xu only felt that it was unbelievable that there was such a thing in the world.
At this time, countless questions began to arise again: "That is, disembowelment, find the lesion, and then remove it...... But how can this ensure that the patient can survive? ”
"There are really a couple of issues that need to be addressed." Zhang Anshi didn't hide it from him: "I'll tell you one by one." ”
………………
Say it again, update it during the day in the future, try to do one chapter at noon and one chapter in the afternoon!
