Zhu Di listened and nodded.

Now that his son is fine, Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, but he became interested in another thing at this time.

He put on a straight face and encouraged him: "Deng Jian is a role model, and he will make meritorious contributions in the future." ”

After that, he glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, and said, "You two...... Get out for a bit. ”

Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui glanced at each other, shocked, Zhu Gaochu said: "Father, this is the ward of the son...... minister"

"I can't die again." Zhu Di said: "What's the use of being in this ward, get out!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui didn't dare to argue, so they had to quit in a huff.

Only then did Zhu Di raise his eyes and look at Zhang Anshi and said, "Zhang Qing, if I remember correctly, you said that this medicine can make money?" ”

Zhang Anshi: "......"

Sure enough, His Majesty is as concerned about making money as ever.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Anshi said, "Your Majesty, you can!" ”

He replied firmly.

His affirmation made the light in Zhu Di's eyes brighter and brighter, and Zhu Di said, "Let's hear it." ”

So Zhang Anshi said: "Malaria is the highest mortality factor for going to sea and the feudal towns, and because of this, the people are afraid of going to sea, and the people in the feudal towns are quite sick and dead, so the number of people cannot grow, which is the biggest factor hindering the trade and development of the feudal towns." ”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued: "With this medicine, it means that a large amount of trade is possible, and the Taiping Mansion can communicate with various feudal towns, although the distance is extremely far, but as long as there are enough sea ships, no matter how far the distance is, it is not a problem." Your Majesty...... The minister plans to set up a special customs office in the Taiping Mansion, and all ships entering and leaving the customs must pay taxes. ”

Zhu Di listened, but he was confused.

It turned out that it was just a tax, although the tax must be a large amount of silver, but for the so-called customs tariff, Zhu Di was a little suspicious, after all, this matter ...... He felt a little mysterious.

But Zhang Anshi knows how important the customs tax is, and once large-scale business is encouraged, countless goods will be exchanged, and the tariff will be terrible.

The most important thing is that all the prefectures and counties in the world are unwilling to make new policies, which means that Taiping Mansion will be the only window in the world to the outside world, and all commercial goods that want to trade with the Ming Dynasty have to pass through the only port of Taiping Mansion to enter and exit.

What is it? This is the hen that lays the golden eggs!

Taiping Mansion has also become the distribution center of foreign trade commodities in the world, and for the entire Taiping Mansion, it is equivalent to a new pillar industry.

In addition, overseas goods will inevitably pass through the distribution of goods in Taiping Province and impact all prefectures and counties in the world, which will not only attract a large number of people, but also attract funds from all over the world.

This is equivalent to taking the Taiping Mansion as the head, supplemented by the vassal states, and even including the merchants of Dashi, Tianzhu and other places, directly competing with the eighteen provinces.

And because of the scarcity of the Taiping Mansion, it will inevitably lead to the various feudal lands and even many merchants, under the Taiping Mansion tariffs and other measures, become the hematopoietic objects of the Taiping Mansion, and the Taiping Mansion will become stronger and stronger and become a behemoth that has been nourished.

Of course, it is not impossible for all prefectures and counties to open ports, and they can also learn the methods of Taiping Province.

Merely...... It is not enough to simply open the port and collect customs duties, the maritime merchants need unimpeded logistics, a sense of security, and even fast transactions to transport goods to your place.

This means that you need to build railways, you need to widen canals, and you need to create laws that are more favorable to merchants, rather than just a gentry or scholar who can cut off people's financial routes. What's more, it also needs to attract a large number of businessmen to gather.

Having said that, if you can do these three things, it is actually equivalent to the implementation of the New Deal.

Before the New Deal, Taiping Mansion was the only port in the world, and there was no one.

But if you continue to stubbornly stick to the old ways, you will still be complacent.

Then this endless wealth of gold, silver, goods in and out, and unimaginable tariffs all fell on the head of the Taiping Mansion.

At that time, it may be truly rich and rival the country, and the entire Taiping Mansion will surpass the entire eighteen provinces and become an unprecedented behemoth in human history.

Zhu Di obviously didn't realize this, but Zhang Anshi could realize that the sea trade dominated by the Taiping Mansion meant lying on the four seas to suck blood.

So Zhang Anshi said patiently: "Your Majesty gave the Taiping Mansion to the minister as a fief, and promised at the beginning that the tax of the Taiping Mansion would belong to the minister." The minister has already thought about it, in addition to the new tariff, in addition to fifty percent for the operation of the Taiping Mansion, the remaining forty percent is naturally contributed to the internal funds, and the remaining one percent, although the minister is ashamed, the so-called uselessness is not punished, but ...... After all, this was His Majesty's promise, but the minister had no choice but to accept it. ”

Zhang Anshi said as he looked at Zhu Di intently.

Other taxes, Zhang Anshi really didn't dare to move, that is the people's fat and people's ointment in Taiping Mansion, although it can also be extracted by one percent, but the vast majority, Zhang Anshi still uses it back to various constructions in Taiping Mansion.

Tariff ......

Zhang Anshi is not going to be polite, he must take this success, otherwise, wouldn't the Zhang family's domain be given for nothing? Can he Zhang Anshi still ask for food while standing?

At this time, Zhang Anshi deliberately mentioned this matter again, just to ask Zhu Di to make a statement, this is not a matter of money, but a matter of attitude.

After hearing this, Zhu Di was also neat and straightforward, and said directly: "I have already made a promise, why do you ask now?" Hugh will ask again in the future! ”

Zhang Anshi really wants to say that His Majesty is refreshing!

A big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and it was really unkind.

At that moment, Zhang Anshi's heart was excited, and he said with a smile: "As for the other forty percent, the minister will hand over the internal money on time." ”

It stands to reason that all taxes in the world should be collected into the national treasury.

However, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty does not have an increase in tariffs. What's more, this Taiping Mansion has nothing to do with the imperial court, and now it is the domain of Zhang Anshi, the king of Wuhu County, because of this, it is also reasonable to hand over this amount of silver.

Zhu Di asked: "In addition to tariffs, are there other benefits?" ”

Zhu Di was still a little unwilling after all.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this alone is very impressive. In addition to this, there are many more to buy and sell. For example, money banks, as well as commercial houses, will have a lot of growth. Your Majesty...... At present, the most important thing is to boil more medicines, save more people, and make the people not afraid of overseas diseases, which is fundamental. In addition, it was necessary to manufacture more weapons to supply the feudal states, and the ministers thought about it, and since the failure of the railway in Kikseo, the price of a large amount of steel in the market plummeted, and now was the time to encourage the manufacture of armor, firearms, and ordnance, and the sale of the feudal domains. ”

Zhu Di was faintly disappointed in his heart, and he thought that Zhang Anshi was planning to take this medicine to make huge profits.

This is a life-and-death drug, this malaria is more common, once infected, it is necessary to ask for medicine, in this way, to make a lot of money, but it is not difficult at all!

But if you think about it carefully, if such a life-saving medicine is used to earn money, if it is an ordinary businessman, it is understandable.

But for the dignified son of heaven and Zhang Anshi, the king of the county, this silver is a little hot when it is earned.

Zhu Di is such a smart person, he naturally understands this, he spit out a breath of turbidity, and said: "This time, Qing has a great merit, this Taiping Mansion matter, you can judge yourself, you don't have to report it." ”

Zhu Di paused, and then said: "King Han and King Zhao, although they are my sons-in-law, they have been divided into territories. Next, if it is a negotiation, don't look at my feelings, you can talk about it as you want, you can't cheapen them. ”

This is really a father and son!

So Zhang Anshi said with a solemn face: "The public is the public, the private is the private, Your Majesty can rest assured, the ministers will not show mercy." ”

Zhu Di said: "Hey, what a false alarm. ”

With that, he got up: "Let's go, follow me and have a look." ”

Zhang Anshi said strangely: "Your Majesty is going to visit the two highnesses?" If this is the case, the minister will go and invite the two highnesses. ”

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "What are you doing visiting them?" I went to visit some of the sick people who came with me. ”

After a pause, Zhu Di said again: "These people are all the followers of the King of Han and the King of Zhao, and they are cronies. ”

Sighing, he continued: "You too, the people around you, not only need to be treated well, so that they have no worries about food and clothing, but also need to always inquire into their suffering, to know what is in their hearts, what they are worried about! Only in this way can people be willing to go to the soup for it! ”

"If not, what is the use of you going out, even if you have hundreds or thousands of guards, guarding them all the time? If you are a confidant, there are ten or eight, it is enough to be thoughtful, but if it is just a bluff, no matter how many people around you are, it is actually a flaw and hidden danger, but if someone is not good for you, just buy one or two people around, it is enough to teach you to regret it. ”

Zhang Anshi said humbly: "The minister is respectful of the teaching. ”

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "These two rebels may not understand this truth, even if I tell them, they may not take it to heart." I'm going to inquire about one or two, and I'll take care of the situation for these two rebels. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di took the lead out of the ward with his hands behind his back.

King Zhao and King Han were actually standing far away, and as soon as they saw Zhu Di coming out, they immediately rushed forward.

In fact, the two of them are still very weak, but they are in good spirits at the moment, and they are in good spirits at happy events.

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, said: "Father, rest assured, the illness of his sons and daughters has been cured......"

Zhu Di said: "Oh, I know. ”

As he spoke, he walked straight to the ward in the distance.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui saw that Zhu Di stopped without a single step, and only cared about moving forward, so they hurriedly followed.

Pushing the door in, there were four people in a room, four sickbeds, a eunuch and three guard-like people on the sickbed.

Zhu Di saw that a person seemed to be asleep, stepped forward, probed his forehead, frowned, and said: "There are still some low-grade fevers, and they still need medicine, and the medical school here, don't be stingy, you have to be cured no matter what." ”

The man who was so sleepy that he heard the sound and reluctantly opened his eyes.

This person is a eunuch, and he was obviously transferred from the Forbidden City to be a slave to King Han and King Zhao, and he vaguely recognized Zhu Di, not to mention His Royal Highness the King of Han and His Royal Highness King Zhao, but they all followed this person, and they didn't dare to come out.

So the eunuch was suddenly shocked, tried hard to support his sick body, hurriedly got up, and muttered: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Slaves...... Sin deserves death, slave and maid ......"

The other three people on the sickbed had obviously recovered a lot, but when they saw a group of people coming in, they were still in shock, and they were at a loss, and they shivered when they heard the eunuch's words.

saw Zhu Di press the eunuch back and lie down, and said gently: "It's good to give birth, your name is Cui Ying, and I have seen your case." You are not young anymore, it is not easy to follow King Zhao and run around with him for thousands of miles, and now you have this disease again, and you need to take care of it. ”

When Cui Ying heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she opened her mouth to speak, but she was so excited that she couldn't make a sound for a while.

Zhu Di said: "Before you entered the palace, did you still have a family?" ”

After stabilizing his mind, Cui Ying finally said: "The slave is worshiped in the Korean country, and in the Korean country, there is still an old father and a brother. ”

Zhu Di bowed his head, turned back to Yishu and said, "Remember!" ”

Yisha bowed his head and said, "Slave and maid, remember." ”

Zhu Di said: "Send an edict to the king of North Korea, ask about the situation of Cui Ying's family, teach them to take care of their lives, and send condolences to the Korean country tomorrow, and personally go to the gate of the Cui family to ask about their current situation." ”

Yisha said: "Slave and maid remember." ”

Cui Ying was already in tears, and her eyes were full of gratitude.

Zhu Di patted his chest and said, "Stay in bed." ”

The three guards had staggered up and wanted to salute Zhu Di, Zhu Di said: "There is no need to salute, you are all martial artists, and I am also a martial artist. ”

The three of them still bowed down and kowtowed: "Obey the order." ”

After Zhu Di visited all the sick people in bed, he sighed: "Go back to the palace." ”

Only the Han King Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked at each other, and they couldn't help but be faintly disappointed in their hearts.

Father, it seems that I don't like to see them a little!

As soon as Zhu Di's holy car left, the two surrounded Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi said to them with a bitter face: "Okay, two highnesses, don't say it, don't say it, originally our own brothers, it's easy to say anything behind closed doors, but I don't know how, Your Majesty seems to be ...... to the two highnesses There are a few complaints, and I have already been told to treat you equally, hey...... It's too difficult for me, it's hard to be loyal and righteous, should I be loyal or righteous? ”

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui: "......"

When Zhang Anshi returned to the county king's mansion, he had already watched three watches.

But in the Changshi Mansion, the Changshi Mansion is still brightly lit.

Zhang Anshi saw that the lights were on here, so he stepped forward, but he saw Yu Qian's clothes, still lying on the eucalyptus and writing hard.

】

Zhang Anshi coughed.

Only then did Yu Qian reluctantly raise his head and glance at Zhang Anshi: "Your Highness." ”

Zhang Anshi asked: "What are you still doing in the middle of the night?" ”

Yu Qian said: "There are still some letters from His Royal Highness, which need to be replied to, and they will be ready soon." ”

Zhang Anshi frowned: "Didn't you say unnecessary letters, can you not reply?" Some people don't bother to pay attention to them. ”

Yu Qian said: "Someone repairs the book, no matter whether the advice of his letter is reasonable or not, but if he does not reply, His Highness is rude first." His Royal Highness is the king of the county, how can he be rude? ”

Zhang Anshi had nothing to say for a while.

Simply, Zhang Anshi sat down, waited for Yu Qian to finish the letter, and put down his pen.

Yu Qian got up and saluted Zhang Anshi again.

Zhang Anshi then said: "What do you think of this king now?" ”

Yu Qian said honestly: "The reputation is mixed. ”

Zhang Anshi also said honestly: "At least it's a little higher than before." But...... Since you do not want to see this king, you have done it properly. ”

Yu Qian said: "The Lu of the food king, the matter of loyalty to the king." ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and didn't say anything.

Just after a while, Zhang Anshi said again: "Do you feel tired of replying to these letters every day and reading all kinds of official documents?" ”

Yu Qian said: "It's good, things in the world are always difficult and easy, the lower officials are still young, where can they pick and choose?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "I have one thing here, think about it, it's better to let you preside over it, but I don't know if you can do it." ”

Yu Qian said: "Please also ask Your Highness to show me." ”

"Prepare for the establishment of customs!"

Customs......

Zhang Anshi continued: "This customs, you can treat it as a tax department, it is used to collect all the taxes on landed goods, and after the king formulates the customs tax rate, you can do it according to the regulations." How's that, is there any interest? ”

Yu Qian said with a hesitant expression: "The lower officials are only afraid of ...... Too young to be competent. ”

Zhang Anshi looked up at Yu Qian: "It doesn't matter if you're young or not." The important thing is that this errand deals with countless amounts of silver every day, and as long as you loosen your mouth, you can get ten thousand fortunes. So...... The person in charge of this matter must abide by the law, be honest and honest, and truly achieve a clean and clean demeanor. ”

Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: "It's not easy to want a breeze on your sleeves. How many so-called clear streams, saying that they have a clean breeze on their sleeves, but in fact they are corrupt and pervert the law. What's more, if it's an errand like customs, whoever gets to that position, there will inevitably be countless people who will do everything they can to win it over. If it doesn't work, they will give you a beautiful woman, and if it doesn't work, they may print your essay for you, make a beautiful book, and make a name for yourself. Can you resist these temptations? ”

Yu Qian said: "Since His Highness has told the lower officials about this, in fact, His Highness has already answered in his heart. ”

Zhang Anshi listened to it and smiled.

Zhang Anshi felt that Yu Qian was very suitable for this, this guy was very hard, he belonged to the kind of guy who didn't get oil and salt, and with such a person in charge of the customs, Zhang Anshi could rest assured.

After all, the temptation is too great, and it is a fatal problem for anyone to be truly selfless and constantly tested by others.

Take him Zhang Anshi as an example, if Zhang Anshi is placed in that position, it will only take three days at most, and he will not be able to withstand the test

And Yu Qian is obviously different, he was born to do this.
