Although extremely exciting.

But Qi Chunnian's plan also has very obvious problems that can be seen at a glance.

For example, being between the Xu family manors, or next to each other, although you can enjoy a lot of convenience by hitchhiking, there are also several fatal points.

One is that it is too close to the Xu family's manor, if any contradiction breaks out, wouldn't it be destroyed in minutes?

The second is that it has lost the space for external expansion, cannot develop freely, and is subject to very large restrictions, and even completely stuck in the upper limit.

deepened the dependence on Xujiazhuang, resulting in not daring to take a tough attitude towards Xujiazhuang in the future, and it was impossible to turn the face of the showdown, because the hole cards were pinched in the hands of Xujiazhuang.

From the perspective of wanting to develop independently, Qi Chunnian's plan does more harm than good.

But from the perspective of wanting to make money and make a fortune, there is no more perfect solution.

Because of the Prince Growth Fund, half of the cost was shared.

In addition, whether it is Zhou Kui and Zhou Guozhang behind Queen Zhou, Tian Hongyu Tian Guozhang behind Tian Guifei, and Yuan Guozhang behind Concubine Yuan, etc., they have been in the business world in recent years, making a lot of money, and their net worth has long exceeded one million.

In the royal fund-raising wealth management account alone, Zhou Guozhang deposited 850,000 silver dollars, Tian Guozhang also deposited 700,000, and the others ranged from 100,000 to 300,000, all added together, it is estimated that it is about 3 million.

That's enough to build ten "Prince Manors".

Finally, when it comes to children, due to the hiring of a wise doctor from Xujiazhuang, now his harem concubines, none of the three sons and five daughters born to him in recent years have died young, and all of them have survived, plus the crown prince Zhu Cihong and the princess Zhu Yujiao born to him by Queen Zhou, he now has a total of four sons and six daughters, a full ten children.

It is a happy thing to have many heirs, but what should be done with the fief of the prince in the future, and how much of the princess's dowry should be prepared, right?

Even if it's too early to think about these now, after more than ten years, it will be an extremely headache and thorny problem in front of you, after all, there is no land in the Ming Dynasty to divide the feudal kings.

Overseas estates may be a brilliant solution.

As for the problem of over-reliance on Xujiazhuang, compared with the advantages brought by hitchhiking, it can only be said that there are two sides of the same coin, there are gains and losses, and it is impossible to have the best of both worlds.

Just like Qi Chunnian said: "The Xu family manor is next to it, roads, ports, wharves and other infrastructure can be shared, improved seeds, pesticides, fertilizers can be purchased at a low price, tractors, harvesters, pumps and other machinery, if you can't afford it, you can go to the Xu family manor next to it to rent, just pay a small amount of rent, someone is sick, carry it to the Xu family manor for treatment, or ask a doctor to come, the medical problem is also solved, if you encounter the harassment and attack of the indigenous savages, the innocent army can destroy the entire savage tribe the next day - after the establishment of the prince manor, As long as you can bury your head in business with peace of mind, maybe you can bring benefits within half a year, and the return speed is as fast as the Xu family manor, I don't know what Your Majesty is still hesitating about? ”

"Give me a little more time!"

Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to say: "I want to discuss this matter with the queen and Tian Guifei, ask them how they think about it, and then ask them to ask the opinions of the princes if they are willing to invest...... Three days, no, two days, how about I give you an answer in two days? ”

"Okay, Your Majesty, you'd better hurry up, even the opportunity for hitchhiking is limited, and if you are slow, you may be snatched away by others." Qi Chunnian reminded.

"I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning! How is it? ”

"Yes, you can."

Qi Chunnian nodded, and then left the palace.

……

In the afternoon of the same day.

In the harem.

Zhu Youzhen asked people to call all the concubines such as Queen Zhou, Tian Guifei, and Concubine Yuan together.

Even the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan called over.

Yingying Yanyan gathered together, and then asked Wang Chengen, the eldest companion, to introduce them to the "Prince Manor" plan, and asked them if they were interested in participating, especially those concubines who had given birth to princes and princesses, do they want to buy one or more "Prince Manor" and "Princess Manor" in Nanyang for their children, and are they interested in investing in shares?

After listening to Wang Chengen's introduction.

Especially after learning about the advantages of hitchhiking in Xujiazhuang.

"Your Majesty, such a good thing, what is there to hesitate, of course agree to cooperate." Queen Chow Road.

"Your Majesty, I plan to borrow 900,000 silver dollars from my father to build three 'prince's manors' for Ci Zhi, as long as he gives three dividends, he is willing to pay this money." Tian Guifei said simply.

"Your Majesty, my father should be able to come up with 300,000 silver dollars to help build a 'princess manor'." Concubine Yuan said.

"Your Majesty......"

Seeing that the women were so enthusiastic, Zhu Youzhen was quite happy, just relying on the help of the mother's family behind them, you and I have two and three of them, at least more than ten overseas manors, and it hasn't cost him a penny.

However, he still said with a straight face: "Don't be happy too early, take a free ride in Xujiazhuang, although you can get a lot of benefits, but it is also seriously subject to Xujiazhuang, in case the relationship between the two sides is not good one day, these manors may all be lost, you can't be too short-sighted, and then think carefully." ”

Empress Zhou thought for a while and said to him: "Your Majesty, Xu Jiazhuang is just a businessman, only for profit and not for anything else, in the "Oriental Times" often shows a disdainful attitude towards feudal imperial power, and what kind of society should be established where everyone is like a dragon, which shows that Xu Jiazhuang has lofty ambitions, no rebellious thoughts, and cooperates with it, when there is no big problem, and after the establishment of the prince's manor, it may be a year to return to the capital, and the back is earned, as long as there is no contradiction in the short term, you can earn a few years and more than ten years of benefits, of course, It would be best if there was no conflict all the time. ”

Tian Guifei said: "Then envelop the owner of Xu Zhuang more, give Xu Jiazhuang more favors, and improve the relationship." The so-called harmony makes money, Xu Jiazhuang understands this truth best, and we also try to do as little as possible things that lead to bad relationships, isn't there no contradiction? ”

Concubine Yuan said: "Sister Tian is right, we have to envelop that Xu Zhuang master, it is best to marry him and marry a clan daughter or princess to him, so that the relationship between the two parties can be close and stable, if it is just a business cooperation, maybe sooner or later there will be a bad relationship." ”

"There is no suitable sect girl in the sect anymore, is it impossible to match my daughter to Xu Yuan, who is seven years older than me?" Zhu Youzhen frowned.

"No way!"

Empress Zhou immediately said: "Your Majesty, you are only five years old this year, how can you marry a man in his thirties?" The age difference is too much. ”

"Yes, it's definitely not okay."

Zhu Youzhen nodded and asked Zhang Yan, the imperial sister-in-law standing next to him: "Imperial sister-in-law, I don't know what you think of this matter, how can you win over Xu Yuan and establish a solid and long-term cooperation?" ”

"I—How do I know?"

Zhang Yan shook her head again and again: "I only know that Xu Yuan has no wife for the time being, but he also has a lot of children, and there are several sons whose age is similar to that of a concubine. ”

This idea made Zhu Youzhen's eyes light up, and he immediately shook his head, and said secretly: My daughter, the noble princess of the Ming Empire, how can she marry the son of a merchant? If Xu Yuan was hired with a lot of money, pleaded many times, and then promised to be a Ming courtier forever and never disobey and make trouble, maybe he could barely consider it......

Contradiction.

In short, his mood at this moment is very complicated and contradictory.

It was discussed for a long time.

In addition to Zhu Youzhen, who was a little indecisive and difficult to make up his mind, in the harem, Queen Zhou, Tian Guifei, Concubine Yuan, etc., all supported cooperation with Xujiazhuang to get a number of overseas estates, seize the opportunity first, and make money.

Including the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan, she did not raise any objections, and suggested that she should go overseas to try it first, gain a firm foothold, accumulate experience, and maybe after a few years, she can maintain it without relying on the royal manor of Xujiazhuang, which is the most ideal result...... Zhu Youzhen thinks it is very reasonable.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Forbidden City, in the East Palace.

Qi Chunnian's figure appeared here quite sneakily, and after a while, he touched the palace where the prince lived, opened the door and got in, appeared next to Zhu Cihong's bed, stretched out his hand and gently shook him awake, and said, "Don't sleep, look at who I am?" ”

"Who......"

Zhu Cihong, who was already seven years old, rubbed his eyes, and when he saw the figure in front of him, he immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Teacher, why are you here?" I haven't seen you in a long time, did you bring me something fun? ”

"I'm not here to play with you, but to test how well you do your homework, have you forgotten my teachings, if you don't pass the school, don't think about fun things." Qi Chunnian said with a straight face.

"Okay, teacher, let's start testing me!" Zhu Cihong sat up straight and said.

"Confucius said, what does it mean to die at night?"

"It means that he understands the truth in the morning, no, he knows the way to the opponent's house in the morning, and he can die in the evening."

"Okay, the gentleman is frank, what does it mean that the villain is a relative?"

"The gentleman is full of muscles, frank and swaying, and the villain is cowardly and obscene, and can only grovel and be like a dog."

"If you don't know your fate, you can't be a gentleman; If you don't know how to be polite, you can't stand up; I don't know words, I don't know people. What does this sentence mean? ”

"It's hard to be a gentleman if you can't fight......"

Between this question and answer, Zhu Cihong answered more than a dozen questions asked by Qi Chunnian perfectly, all of which were correct.

"Okay, good, the children can be taught, the children can be taught, this toy gun was bought for you, my good student, take it and play with it."

Qi Chunnian laughed, took out a small toy gun from his pocket, handed it to Zhu Cihong, and kissed him twice on the face.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Zhu Cihong looked surprised and very happy.

However, there was a loud bang.

The door of the room was kicked through, and I saw the prince Zhan Shi Yao Minggong, holding a ring ruler made of fine iron and rushing in, and came to Qi Chunnian with murderous spirit: "The dog thief who mistook people's children, the old man will take your dog's life today, and kill you traitor for the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Teacher, run!"

Zhu Cihong's face changed greatly, and he got up to block in front of Yao Minggong to cover Qi Chunnian's escape.

"Is it a gentleman's work to run away? This old thing has chased and killed me twice, and this time he won't run, I let him understand what it means to convince people with virtue, and you are also studying hard next to you, prince. ”

Qi Chunnian not only did not run, but punched Yao Minggong in the eye socket, and then punched him in his soft abdomen, kicked the crotch of his pants with three points of force, and after a while, he knocked Yao Minggong to the ground, covered the injured area with both hands, and bent his body like a shrimp, making a whoow scream.

Zhu Cihong's eyes widened, and it was rare to appreciate this actual combat teaching.

But at this time, the entire East Palace was alarmed, seeing that Yao Minggong was beaten and suffered a big loss, Jiang Fengyuan, Wang Duo, Qu Keshen and other lecturers accused him one after another, scolding him for beating the old man, insulting Sven, and wanting to pollute the simple and kind prince, which was a great crime, and should be executed by Ling Chi.

In the end, he even made trouble in front of the emperor and asked the emperor to uphold justice.

"What's going on?" Zhu Youzhen frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty, it's just a little trouble, it's not a big deal, it's a matter of the Prince's Manor, how did Your Majesty think about it? Anyway, I have decided to take out 20,000 silver dollars to support the establishment of the prince's manor, and I also mentioned this to these princes' teachers just now, but none of them are willing to pay for sponsorship, and they don't say anything, and they want to beat me up, forget it, don't bother to care, Your Majesty, you still say your decision, but it's better not to let too many people know about such confidential matters. ”

Qi Chunnian glanced at Yao Minggong and the others next to him.

"Get out."

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, and also felt that too many people knew about this kind of thing, so he ignored the shouting of Yao Minggong and others, first sent them out, and then gave a reply agreeing to cooperate.
