When Xu saw it, he said to Zhu Di, "Look at it, when the second child grows up, he will be his own son, and he may not see how good he can be to the child!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian looked at Zhang's bloodless face, and looked at the smile in the eyes of the second brother, he didn't know what method the second brother used to stop Zhang, but if a man wants to subdue a woman, as long as he is unreasonable, it is enough.

Zhang ran two steps towards this side with her skirt, she wanted to snatch the child from Zhu Gaoxu's arms, but as soon as her eyes touched the fierceness in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, she was deflated.

Zhang was so aggrieved that she wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to let people see her abnormality, and when the time came, even if Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, she would not be able to wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River.

A meal is used up in an atmosphere where the family has its own ghosts, what about others, Zhu Gaoxian is too lazy to take care of it, he has a round belly.

"Don't leave the palace tonight, rest in the palace, Dad still has a lot to ask you, it's not too late to go to the academy early tomorrow morning." Zhu Di sincerely kept his son.

Zhu Gaochi said that it was a lie not to be jealous, he was in Beijing City, and he was still a character, and when he returned to Beijing City, he would become a paper man.

The two men walked in front, and the remaining three brothers walked in a row in the back, and the brothers wanted to send the father and son in front back to the West Palace.

Huang Yan trotted over, and his shrill voice was blown away by the night wind, "Your Majesty, Lord Xia Yuan Jixia heard that the fourth prince has returned to the palace, and he has to meet him at this time." ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that he has something to find the fourth prince, so you let him in, and when he is done, let him rest at the guard's place for one night." ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Di then turned to the three brothers and said, "I have something to discuss with Lord Xia, you go back first, just have your fourth brother follow me." ”

Could there be anything more unfair? “

Zhu Gaochi was unwilling and didn't dare to disobey his father, so he saluted with his two younger brothers, "Yes!" ”

Zhu Di didn't go far, the three of them didn't dare to turn around, watching Zhu Di reach out and hug the fourth child, I don't know if he was holding the fourth child or the fourth child supporting him, the father and son were very affectionate and walked forward.

The three brothers turned around, Zhu Gaoxu was in the best mood, and Zhu Gaosui said in a weird manner, "I heard that the emperor's grandfather loved his uncle very much, I don't know if it is the same as today's father's love for the fourth brother?" Or is it less than one-tenth of the fourth brother that his father loves? ”

These words undoubtedly stabbed Zhu Gaochi fiercely in his heart, the emperor's grandfather loved his uncle, the uncle was the eldest son, and he was also the eldest son, but the father and emperor left him aside, and only the fourth brother was hurt to death.

Zhu Gaoxian didn't care what his brothers thought, he muttered, "Lao Xia is in the eyes of money!" ”

Zhu Di laughed when he heard this, "Don't say it, Lao Xia has been saying to my father these days that this tax can be collected like this, this winter, not to mention anything else, the commercial tax has also collected three or four million taels of silver, although it is not very rich, but it is enough to meet the expenses of next spring." ”

"If you want to earn in the spring of this year, my son still has a way, my son wrote a letter to Ma Sanbao to ask Gao Xianning and Chao Mianzhi to come back here to help, the bicycle factory now needs them to build, first production, open the scheduled mode, next year's spring, and wait for Yunnan to come to another batch of raw rubber, we can directly install tires and deliver them."

Zhu Di didn't understand the booking mode, but he understood what he wanted to deliver in the spring of tomorrow, and he didn't want to ask in detail, and Xia Yuanji was going to come in after a while.

In the side hall of the West Palace, a brazier was lit, and both father and son were afraid of heat, although there was a earth dragon, but it was not burned.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Gaoxian felt a burst of heat, he took off all the big wool clothes on his body, Xia Yuanji had been waiting for a long time, and came to say goodbye.

"Sit down!"

Zhu Di sat down on the couch first, Zhu Gaoxian didn't want to move when he was full, crooked beside his father, Xia Yuanji sat on the ground with a small pestle, and said straight to the point, "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the tax matter you said is really good." ”

Zhu Gaoxian waved his hand, "You can just report to my father about your taxes, you don't have enough expenses in Mingchun, and you came to me to make a fortune?" ”

"No, how dare the minister find the fourth prince to make a relationship?" Xia Yuan Ji said, "The minister is thinking, can you order some textile machines from the Ministry of Households to the Fourth Highness?" ”

"What, you want to open a textile factory?" When Zhu Gaoxian heard this, he sat up, "Lao Xia, why do people use their own shortcomings to attack their strengths? Open a textile factory? To tell you the truth, many rich businessmen have found me and want to buy my textile machine, but you can imagine how many textile factories will open in the spring of next year. ”

"Why can't you earn it?"

"One is the cost of labor, rich businessmen can deduct labor at will, do you dare? Of course, if you say that you are the imperial court and want to manage people's lives, that's another matter; The second is the management cost, don't think I don't know, even if the emperor's grandfather killed people in order to eliminate corruption, there are still many people who dare to take risks and embezzle, without him, people read it out in the cold window for ten years, once they become officials, can they not get back the cost? ”

"Just these two things, you can't do others, in the future, you will weave a lot of cloth, can you beat others in price?" Zhu Gaoxian thought of something, and he patted his head, "However, if someone can go to the West and use these to trade, there is no such thing as expensive or not." “

"On an expedition to the West?" Zhu Di was a little surprised.

"Yes, Dad, haven't you thought of using porcelain, tea, and cloth to do business overseas? We can also set up checkpoints at the dock, as long as people come and go to do business, we will take taxes, two or three percent of the tariff, one can prevent some of our advanced technology in the future from being stolen out, and the other can also increase my Ming income. ”

"However, in the future, the settlement currency, try not to use silver, if there is a currency of my Ming Dynasty, it will be better to use this currency for settlement."

Zhu Gaoxian is not whimsical, but thinks of the beautiful country of later generations, the dollar has become the universal currency of the world, and when there is no money, the beautiful country prints banknotes, how bullish!

Xia Yuanji only felt that every time he talked to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, his brain was not enough, they were obviously discussing the matter of the textile machine, why did their thinking suddenly fly to the West and set up customs?

Xia Yuanji looked at Zhu Gaoxian in a daze, can you say something he can understand?

Zhu Gaoxian suddenly felt that Xia Yuanji was also very difficult, the three or four million taels of silver collected this year, plus a small amount of taxes, this year's New Year will be about the same, and in the spring of next year, some disaster-stricken places, the resettlement of the people, and the tools and seeds for spring ploughing will all have to be paid by the household department.

"Lao Xia, let's do it, I'll leave it to you to handle the textile machine factory, but I remind you, if you settle accounts with people, don't use money, don't pit yourself, you can use silver or grain."

"Is there anything wrong with the money?" Zhu Di didn't understand and asked.

"Dad, money is a thing that needs to be prepared with silver or gold. Paper money is very convenient to use, it turns out that the earliest paper money originated in the Song Dynasty, when it was called Jiaozi. At that time, iron money was very inconvenient to use, and the weight was large, a thousand big coins weighed twenty-five catties, and it took hundreds of catties of iron money to buy a silk horse. “

It's the first time Zhu Di has heard of this, after all, he is not the crown prince Zhu Biao back then, there will be special people to talk about politics, economy, governing the people and other ways of being a king, and his eyes can't help but open wide.

If at this time, a minister told him this, Zhu Di would definitely be anxious, what do you mean, is it bullying him and not understanding anything?

However, the one in front of him was his son, Xia Yuanji, the fox, was convinced, Zhu Di was only happy, and he also felt that there was a stone in his heart that had been completely put down, what was he afraid of? He can't handle it, and his son is there to escort him!

He didn't believe that his son would watch the Ming Dynasty be ruined, but this was the country that their father and son had worked so hard to fight.

Zhu Di gave birth to four sons, but in his eyes, it was just the one in front of him.

"It's very inconvenient to circulate, and the merchant can't use an ox cart to pull it to do business, what should I do? They managed to issue a kind of banknote, but this banknote had to ensure that silver or iron money could be taken at any time, that is, how many banknotes were issued, and the bank money should be prepared in a certain proportion in the Jiaozi shop. At that time, the government of the Song Dynasty set up a subordinate affairs in Yizhou, with a capital of 360,000 yuan as a reserve. ”

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

"Dad, this banknote can't be printed or issued casually, otherwise it may affect the market and finance, and the court will lose its credibility."

Zhu Di understood this idea, he felt that his son was targeting him, and said angrily, "Stinky boy, when did your father say that he was going to print money casually?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian didn't compare with his father, not yet, in history, Zhu Yuanzhang, the old fox, likes to reward other people's coins the most, even his father Zhu Di has encountered this kind of thing, the most typical one is the first month of the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhu Di to command the military horses of Beiping, and the king of Jin commanded the soldiers and horses of Shanxi.

Xia Yuanji understands the principle of reserves, but the former Emperor Taizu Gao didn't know if he didn't understand, he printed a large number of paper money and used paper money to distribute it, and the officials had no place to use the paper money, so they had to find other ways to make up for it, which was another reason why corrupt officials couldn't be killed.

Xia Yuanji didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was so young, and he actually understood this truth and was able to explain the emperor, which was the best.

"Fourth Highness, you said, the production of textile machines is done by the household department, does this household department account for 100% of the shares?"

This is a guarantee to please Zhu Gaoxian, Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "Lao Xia, you are not good at this, I speak, a mouthful of spit and a pit, when does talking not count?" It's not that I said, you tighten your belt in the past two years, and after two years, when my things come out, you, the head of the household, will be lying down and grow meat, except for letting you count the money until you are soft, I promise not to worry about you a little. ”
