Chapter 346 There is no high or low in Shinong and Commerce
At this time, it is the fault of the generals to criticize the people for their bad life, although this sentence sounds fine, but if it falls on Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, this sentence will mean something else.
Letting the generals go to war is what Zhu Yuanzhang did, and now attacking the generals is the difference between pointing at Zhu Yuanzhang's nose and scolding?
Zhu Yuanzhang: Isn't this scolding us for being reckless?
As the courtier who knows Zhu Yuanzhang best, Li Shanchang will not touch his head, and in this matter, he resolutely stands with Zhu Yuanzhang: "Everyone, my Ming can have today's achievements, thanks to Your Majesty's merits, Your Majesty will continue to use troops abroad, but also for the better development of the Ming Dynasty, we must not live up to Your Majesty's good intentions." ”
What Li Shanchang said was in the clouds, which made the ministers present puzzled.
How can you develop trade if you have been fighting wars abroad?
They believe that only harmony can make money, and fighting all the time will only destroy and lag the development of commerce, but Li Shanchang does not think so.
Since ancient times, there have been few dynasties willing to develop commerce, but this precedent was broken in the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why Daming is so different from the previous dynasty is because of Zhu Han, if it weren't for Zhu Han's constant promotion of the development of commerce, Zhu Yuanzhang would never let commerce become another 'leg' of Daming.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Han did not like to be in charge, under Zhu Han's suggestion, a large stall in the court was Li Shanchang to help Zhu Yuanzhang manage, in order to better serve Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang conducted a very in-depth study of Zhu Han, from the beginning of Longxing Temple to the present, Li Shanchang studied all the news of Zhu Han that he could get.
The conclusion is nothing, but Li Shanchang admires Zhu Han more and more, Zhu Han attaches great importance to the development of business, and now puts forward the concept of heavy industry and light industry, Li Shanchang is according to the concept proposed by Zhu Han, the two types of industry are carefully divided, in these processes, Li Shanchang's understanding of Zhu Han has deepened a lot, especially business.
According to Zhu Han's business theory, whether it is wartime or peacetime, each has its own set of theories that can be run, and there are no restrictions.
When there is a war, they sell more weapons and food to raise the price of these; If the price of infrastructure construction is raised in peacetime or in a peaceful area, it will eventually be possible to make money, even if a country is destroyed, what can it do? Is rebuilding different an opportunity to make money?
Where there are people, there is business, and with the increasing population, the commercial development of Daming will only get better and better.
Since whether you fight a war or not, you can make money in the end, why do you still oppose Zhu Yuanzhang's continued use of troops overseas?
Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang is such a pure person, he just wants to establish a powerful empire that has never been seen before, in order to show his great achievements, where is it like Zhu Han - there are 800 hearts and eyes in the world, and Zhu Han occupies 799.
Therefore, in Li Shanchang's opinion, instead of pondering Zhu Yuanzhang here, it is better to think about how to seek greater benefits under Zhu Han's hands.
Li Shanchang would not say these words directly.
He just told the ministers not to get along with Zhu Yuanzhang, but to listen to Zhu Han's words...... To put it more bluntly, Li Shanchang did not say that Li Shanchang today is not the head of the hundred officials who are on the powerful side and even Zhu Yuanzhang wants to give him face, because with Zhu Han's participation, he is just a senior worker, and now he is also relying on the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty to fill his pocket, as for the greed for money and the accumulation of money, he does not dare to do it at all.
Li Shanchang made up his mind that he would take the lead in buying more overseas trade shares before others reacted, and strive to earn more for himself.
Song Lian didn't say much and followed Li Shanchang away.
Liu Bowen, Hu Weiyong, Yang Xian...... and a group of courtiers left silently.
They want to take advantage of the present to invest and make a lot of money, and they don't know if there is this opportunity to make a fortune in the future.
Only a small number of courtiers who have not yet turned their minds around are still stubbornly trying to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to take back his order and not to start a war all the time.
……
Zhu Han didn't know anything about the court, and when he knew, he only found out when Mu Ying and Ping'an came to Zhu Han to say goodbye.
Mu Ying and Ping'an, who were once adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang, couldn't fight when they were young, they were trained and grown up by Zhu Han.
Zhu Hanke knows very well that the more than 20 adopted sons adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang are loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, they only obey Zhu Yuanzhang, for these righteous sons, Zhu Han is very recognized in his heart, and he also helped Zhu Yuanzhang adopt more righteous sons, he is not worried that there will be white-eyed wolves mixed in, even if there is, it will be affected and changed.
Mu Ying and Ping'an are the best among Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous sons, coupled with his deliberate cultivation, these people's abilities have improved a lot compared to history, and they are going to Yinzhou to replace Hu Dahai, so they said goodbye to Zhu Han before leaving.
Zhu Han used barbecue to entertain them, half of the eldest son ate the poor old man, Mu Ying and Ping'an were both military generals, Zhu Han directly skewered a large meat skewer, wrapped it in a dough cake after baking, and handed it directly to the two of them with a large chili pepper: "Eat, eat, I'll continue to bake you after eating." ”
"Thank you, uncle."
Mu Ying and Ping'an took the bread wrapped in meat skewers and began to gobble it up, Zhu Han looked at the way they were eating, and knew that the two more bread cakes were not running, he said while roasting: "You two boys, don't patronize and eat, see how I barbecue meat, I won't bake it myself when I get there." ”
"Uncle, you're underestimating us, aren't you?"
Mu Ying devoured the food in her hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle, when you taught us to read and took us to practice martial arts, you often took us to eat barbecue, we have already learned these techniques, but I think it is not as delicious as your uncle, hehe." ”
It is clear that Mu Ying and Ping'an came over today to eat the barbecue made by Zhu Han.
Zhu Han didn't take it seriously, these children were all grown up by him, very kind, he was also willing to cook food for the children, and there would be a few jokes about meat and vegetarian in the past, and Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous sons also quickly developed in the direction of 'veteran oil'.
Zhu Han was chatting with them, and seeing that Mu Ying and Ping'an had completely relaxed, Zhu Han asked suddenly: "My brother asked you to go to Yinzhou, did he go to make me stumble?" ”
"yes, uh...... No, what makes a stumbling block? ”
Mu Ying just agreed, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, and looked at Zhu Han's eyes full of grievances.
Uncle, you take the meatloaf and let us jump into the fire pit, right?
Zhu Han looked at Mu Ying and Ping'an, and seemed to be smiling.
Ping An is an honest stuffy gourd, he doesn't talk much, and now he suddenly realizes that he has been 'deceived' by Zhu Han, so he naturally chooses to shut up and deal with it, Mu Ying is more clever and reacts quite quickly, as if it hadn't happened to his gaffe just now, and asked Zhu Han innocently: "Uncle, why can't I understand what you said?" ”
"Stinky boy, you still want to fool me?"
Zhu Han was about to fight, Mu Ying hurriedly dodged, and then said with a smile behind Ping'an: "Uncle, this is your and your father-in-law's business, Bao'er and I are both honest children, you can't be angry with us." ”
"Little rabbit, I raised you so big, I can't be angry with you?"
Zhu Han didn't eat this, but he didn't be rude to Mu Ying and Ping'an.
Because he knew that this had nothing to do with the two children, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who was behind it.
Hu Dahai is Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant, but Hu Dahai is even more convinced of Zhu Han.
Zhu Han said that it is necessary to take Yinzhou as soon as possible and quickly put it into production and construction.
Hu Dahai obeyed the order and did it, making Zhu Yuanzhang's teeth itch.
The construction is so fast, do you want to send Zhu Han away so much?
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Hu Dahai to build slower, but Hu Dahai didn't listen at all, but the speed was faster, and this time he just took the opportunity to send Hu Dahai back to let Mu Ying and Ping'an go overseas to experience and experience.
Mu Ying and Ping'an are Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous sons, and it is much more convenient when arranging things, and Zhu Yuanzhang does not need to be polite to them, and directly explains the reason: "After the construction of Yinzhou is completed, Qiwu will move to Yinzhou, and we don't want him to leave, so the two of you went to Yinzhou, and the construction speed is the slowest for us, can you two do it?" ”
In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Mu Ying and Ping'an also answered categorically: "Yes!" ”
Definitely.
They are also reluctant to let Zhu Han go to Yinzhou, and Mu Ying and Ping'an will not stay in Yinzhou forever, they have to go back to Daming after three or five years, but they don't want Zhu Han to stay in Yinzhou forever.
Zhu Yuanzhang told Mu Ying and Ping'an to keep it secret, and not to leak their mouths, but they haven't set off yet, and they were directly tricked out by Zhu Han.
Seeing that Zhu Han didn't mean to blame, Mu Ying became a lot bolder, and said to Zhu Han: "Uncle, you have to understand why your father did this, and he can't bear you, right?" Not only them, but also me and Bao'er, as well as Brother Wenzhong, we are reluctant to let you go, uncle...... Why do you have to go to Yinzhou, what's good there? Wouldn't it be better to live together as a family? Besides, Bao'er and I want to eat the barbecue and skewers you made, do we have to go to Yinzhou? ”
"Stinky boy, you know you're a scoundrel here."
Zhu Han knocked Mu Ying's brain, and then said: "I left for my reasons, and besides, I won't come back if I don't go...... Forget it, I can't talk to you two stinky boys, I'll talk to him later. ”
After speaking, Zhu Han no longer bothered about Zhu Yuanzhang's hind legs, and continued to barbecue meat to let the two little guys eat and drink.
The fierce opposition in the court did not make Zhu Yuanzhang change his mind, but intensified, he quickly sent soldiers and horses, and exchanged the major overseas generals, so that the overseas expansion would never stop, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not withdraw Lan Yu and Zhang Dingbian, the two of them went too deep to the west, Zhu Yuanzhang left them to continue to fight in the front, but handed over the overseas territories belonging to the rear to the courtiers with both civil and military skills.
The courtiers in the court wailed, but Li Shanchang and the others were silent.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang announced that he would continue to expand overseas, many people were worried that their investment would lose money, so they wanted to withdraw the purchased shares.
Zhu Yuanzhang was well aware of these things, and instead of stopping Li Shanchang and others' private purchase of shares, he adopted a tacit attitude, after all, these people who bought shares in overseas trade were all people who supported and trusted him, how could Zhu Yuanzhang dismantle his own platform at this time?
Moreover, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang tacitly acquiesced to the opportunity of overseas expansion to make a fortune was because Zhu Han reminded him before: Daming's commerce has indeed made great progress through promotion, but these progress is very one-sided, and if you want to make business develop further, you need officials in the court as the driving force.
As for what this driving force is, Zhu Han didn't say it, Zhu Yuanzhang is not very clear now, but he believes what Zhu Han said, and he also believes that it is ...... It won't be too far, because Zhu Yuanzhang can't stand the fact that officials take advantage of overseas trade to make a fortune.
Zhu Yuanzhang is a very serious person, and he is a very stubborn kind, he thinks that officials are officials, businessmen are businessmen, and the two should not have anything to do with each other...... Of course, the commerce under the jurisdiction of the Ming government is not counted, and those that belong to the functional departments of the court, but those other than that, they cannot continue to be twisted together in such an unclear way.
Zhu Yuanzhang hates corruption, and officials who accept bribes must never be forgiven.
Officials involved in business are the most likely to collude.
The decrees in the court were formulated by these officials, and they were the first to know about them, and if they found out the benefits that could be obtained from the decrees, they would inevitably collude with familiar businessmen at the first time, which was not conducive to the balanced development of commerce.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to change this status quo, but how to do it made Zhu Yuanzhang a little undecided.
If it were normal, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely go to Zhu Han as soon as possible and ask Zhu Han what he thought, but recently he was a little cowardly, not because of anything else, just because Zhu Han saw through Zhu Yuanzhang's little abacus to let Mu Ying go to Yinzhou peacefully, which made Zhu Yuanzhang a little nervous when facing Zhu Han.
"Don't we think for ourselves?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a long time, and finally found the answer from what Zhu Han said to him.
Zhu Han once said that the development of Daming commerce needs the promotion of Daming officials...... Could it be that the meaning of the Seventh Five-Year Plan is to force hundreds of officials to give up their official positions and then go into business?
When this idea popped up in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he immediately lingered in his mind, and after thinking about it carefully, he slapped his thigh suddenly: "Isn't that what Seventy-Five means?" ”
Shinong Industry and Commerce ...... Taxi at the head, business at the end.
Zhu Yuanzhang accepted Zhu Han's suggestion, and constantly improved the status of businessmen, and made the status of Shinong industry and commerce on a horizontal line, but in the eyes of some people, businessmen are still the last ones, and officials are still high.
However, if officials are forced to go to the sea to do business, this is very reasonable, even if in the eyes of everyone is still a low-class profession, but those officials who go to the sea to do business will use their own way to tell other people that there is no distinction between high and low agriculture, industry and commerce.
