Look at the man in front of you.

Sneer.

Zhang Yan secretly sneered in her heart and gritted her teeth secretly.

Thinking of the so-called prosperous beauty girl group, she was very angry, and her mood suddenly became extremely bad, if it weren't for her good concentration and high psychological quality, she couldn't wait to vent on the spot.

That's right, an excellent man, with three wives and four concubines, and a few more women, in fact, there is no problem, as a former queen, she has managed the palace, looking at those concubines, she has not had bad thoughts in her heart, especially when the emperor is unwilling to sleep with her, and often goes to other women, she is very uncomfortable in her heart, and feels that she has been greatly neglected, and has the idea that she can't wait for those favored concubines to die, and then she occupies the emperor's favor alone, Let the emperor love only himself.

But it is natural for men to be distracted.

Not to mention the carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao, there are more than a dozen women in the harem, it is this Xu Yuan, who is also a big carrot, obviously has many concubines, but he still has to be lustful, in order to meet his own needs and desires, in order to help those women with difficult families, improve their lives, he actually made a prosperous beauty girl group out, to recruit women all over the world, to select the youngest and most beautiful ones, and then fool around, every day in those beautiful girls to mess around, to satisfy their own dirty ideas, huge lustful gall.

Zhang Yan didn't expect that this Xu Yuan also played so many tricks, as for the purpose, it is naturally clear at a glance, just to play with women, and there are hundreds of people, and the second and third phases will be selected in the future, and all the peerless beauties of the Ming Dynasty will be in their pockets to satisfy their perverted desires, and the number is still more than a hundred terrifying, put together, maybe they don't look good, people are a little face blind, and they can't tell whether they are beautiful or not, but if they are taken out separately, They are all existences that can make people feel suffocated and their hearts beat faster, and they are all extremely excellent and outstanding beauties.

Xu Yuan, a bastard thing, is often soaked in these women's piles, degraded like a faint king, and even gradually reduced the frequency of coming to her, so that she originally saw the hope of living a good life, and returned to the cold reality, had to be accompanied by loneliness and loneliness, and the longing that had just risen in her mind was taken back, and she had to feel sorry for herself, and even self-doubt, and anxiety, after all, her age is really not young, and the wrinkles are about to come out. She's definitely not as good as those beautiful girls, and she's about to be the front wave of being photographed on the beach.

even made her lose herself, forced to take action, took the initiative to find Xu Yuan, let go of her reserve, and did some things she didn't dare to imagine before, but in the end she failed to keep herself and became Xu Yuan's woman, and one of them, after all, fell into his hands and was harmed by it.

The only thing that is fortunate is that the result is okay, otherwise she would really lose face and would not be able to live in the gossip.

Now that I think about it again, Zhang Yan still can't help but secretly resentful of the beautiful girls in the Shengshi Beauty Girl Group, feeling that they are too unreserved and too embarrassed, there are so many good choices, but I want to tempt Xu Yuan, an old man, are they blind? Isn't it good to find a young and handsome peer? Why are they all so vain, they would rather be the outer room that has no light, and they should pounce on it like a moth to a fire.

Discipline.

Those women need to be disciplined.

Someone needs to bring them on the right track, erect the correct three views, and they can't fall any longer and waste their talents.

"Shengshi Women's Group, leave it to me, I will definitely take care of it for you, so that they can create more value and earn more benefits." Zhang Yan said.

"No, no, no, I'll bring it, I have a lot of ideas, I have to rely on them to realize, another person to take over, maybe there will be some trouble, you really don't have to be responsible, the film and television department, and the music department, maybe it's worth your more energy to put in it, and I will do my job well." Xu Yuan still refused.

"Hehe, I know your little bit of caution, don't worry, I won't do anything to these women, if you fall in love with them, I won't stop you, this guy, from having a close relationship with them, and even provide you with some convenience, and take the initiative to send the woman you like into your arms, but I also have a condition, that is, to let those women listen to me, accept my arrangement, and have the right to fire them, do you understand what I mean, I am not the kind of woman who is jealous."

Heard what Zhang Yan said.

Xu Yuan still shook his head again and again: "Beauty, let me take it for a while, three years and five years, I'm really afraid that you won't be able to complete so much work, and you have to take care of your children, busy with this and that, really, you don't need to bear so much burden." ”

"Hehe, bastard, I don't know what you think, it's just to ask the old cow to eat tender grass, and harm the body and mind of these ignorant girls, I was blind at the beginning, and I would think that you might be a good man who can be reliable, but you are not at all, you are a scumbag!"

Zhang Yan scolded a few words with a cold face, but Xu Yuan did not let go after all, and defended the control of the Shengshi Beauty Women's Group, thinking of hundreds of beautiful girls with various characteristics, thinking of their cultivation, cultivation and progress, Xu Yuan was still very happy in his heart, and felt that he had kept the bottom line, did not fall into the fatal trap of gentleness, and did not enter another cage, and then looked at his more and more powerless body, it seems that after two or three years of play, he will let go of this girl group and officially start a life of leisure and health. Probably a great choice.

But now, he is not forty years old, he is still at the peak of a man, and if he doesn't take advantage of the less and less youthful tail, he will be a good chic once, and then he will be surrounded by hundreds of beauties every day, it is estimated that it is useless, but it will increase his troubles and pain, which is quite a sad story.

……

The other side.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, in early February.

The perspective came to the heart of the Ming Empire - the capital, in the palace of the Forbidden City.

Recently, Zhu Youzhen's mood is very good, because in the past year, the climate of the Ming Dynasty has finally been a little more normal, and the disasters in various places have been reduced a lot, coupled with convenient transportation and a large number of agricultural and water conservancy facilities, so that the damage of natural disasters to the people of the Ming Dynasty has been reduced to almost unaffected, and the disaster relief funds paid by the Ming Dynasty have been reduced to more than one million silver dollars in a record, and the expenditure has suddenly saved two or three million silver dollars.

Secondly, that is, last year's royal family, finally had an unprecedented fat year, the sum of the annual income of various fields and industries, a record-breaking reached 100 million silver dollars, a substantial increase in income, and finally an unprecedented super fat year.

The Jiangnan tax sent by Xujiazhuang inside was 38 million silver dollars, accounting for more than one-third.

The second is the income of the royal family and the company, which is 27 million silver dollars, and there has also been an increase of more than 30%, especially the orders of cement factories, glass factories, and paper mills, which are like crazy, and they are not afraid of not making money at all.

In addition, the income of the national treasury is about 50 million, but only half of it goes into the internal treasury, so there are as many as 25 million, plus occasionally getting rid of a few corrupt officials, and another two or three million into the account, although it is not much, but it is better than nothing.

Finally, there is the financial income, which is about more than five million silver dollars.

Combined with the small amount of money earned in other ways, the total income of more than 100 million silver dollars was received.

And so on and so forth.

Nowadays, the royal family's ability to make money can indeed be described as very strong, especially the emperor Zhu Youzhen, who has grown and progressed very fast, learned the lessons of the past, and will never be easily deceived again, and has learned to be stern and cruel, from time to time to cut a few corrupt officials to show the emperor's toughness, but also let those who are young people dare not have any contempt, and their attitude towards the emperor has become respectful and important, and even some courtiers faintly are publicizing that Zhu Youzhen is a Ming Jun who meets once in 800 years, although it is a little worse than the Ming Jun of the ages, But also more than the vast majority of emperors.

But even if the income is quite good.

After spending a circle of money, Zhu Youzhen suddenly found that the money in his hand was almost gone, and the inner money was about to be empty again.

After studying the financial report carefully, Zhu Youjian found that last year's royal family's expenses were 98 million silver dollars, and a lot of projects have been added this year, and the expenditure will definitely exceed 100 million.

Even if we cut some projects this year and try to save some money, I am afraid that the funds that can be left behind will not exceed five million silver dollars.

That is, the income exceeds 100 million, but the money saved will not exceed 5 million, or even less.

It is equivalent to an ordinary person who can earn 10,000 silver dollars a year, and he can only save 500 silver dollars at the end of a year, with an accumulation rate of less than 5%.

If you usually spend money lavishly and carelessly, then you may not have a penny left, and you may even have a deficit.

Anyway, it is the state of basic balance of income and expenditure, and there is a feeling that you can't save much money anyway - in fact, for today's royal family, five million silver dollars is just a little bit of silver, a little favor, or the cost of two large banquets, it is really not a big money, not to mention the rapid economic development of the Ming Dynasty in recent years, but the productivity is still a little bit not keeping up, resulting in an annual increase in prices, which is also about 5%, but compared with the economic growth rate of at least 15%, most people's sense of gain is still very good, can save some income.

Only the royal family, who can't save much money every year, feels tight every year, always can't spend money to the fullest, and always has a sense of insecurity, after all, where is the debt that still owes hundreds of millions of silver dollars.

This made Zhu Youzhen feel very puzzled and depressed, he always felt that it was difficult to figure it out, he reflected many times in private, and he had to send someone to investigate, and found out dozens of rats, but it had no impact on the overall situation, the main problem was that it was because of too much overhead and too many projects, it was easy to spend money, but it became difficult to save money, and it became a dead knot that was difficult to break.

At the same time, Zhu Youzhen also felt very puzzled and helpless, a full 100 million silver dollars, even if due to inflation, the purchasing power is only half of ten years ago, but it is still an unimaginable huge amount of money, enough for millions of ordinary families, but I didn't expect it to be still not enough, and I still feel very poor.

You must know that in recent years, with the three rounds of overseas colonization activities opened by Xujiazhuang in a row, the population in Daming has not increased significantly, and it will decrease in some years.

A large number of young and strong laborers went to the South Seas, the Western Regions, Australia and Rice, Africa and other places, some became the manor of the village, some became gold diggers, and some formed an armed pioneer group, occupying countless land and resources, it is said that the gold transported to the territory of the Ming Dynasty every year weighed hundreds of tons, thousands of tons of silver, and hundreds of thousands of tons of copper...... Worth more than a billion silver dollars.

In fact, this kind of pioneering activity is to alleviate the pressure of involution in the Ming Dynasty, and bring a large number of resources, greatly improve the lives of all people, so that the fate of countless people has been changed, and at a certain level, it has also reduced the pressure of the Ming Empire and brought additional benefits.

】

Between an increase and a decrease, the pressure of the Ming Dynasty should be greatly reduced, coupled with the reduction and alleviation of natural disasters, there will be no significant increase in expenditure, Zhu Youzhen encountered this situation, it is not normal, of course, considering the arrears in the past few decades, as well as the investment in infrastructure, the place where money is spent is indeed very much, and if you don't spend money, the gap with Xujiazhuang will be significantly widened, and a lot of people's hearts will be lost.

In addition, hundreds of thousands of elite new troops are standing armies that must maintain their size, and once the number of people is small, or some of them are reduced, then it will be too late to respond in time to any situation that they encounter next time, which will bring about huge destructive effects and lose the support of countless people.

Finally, the officials' salaries can only increase, not decrease, otherwise there will be a lot of corruption.

And so on and so forth.

After a detailed analysis.

Zhu Youzhen reluctantly found that he really couldn't save much, unless he set an example, reduce some expenses, restore a simple and frugal lifestyle, eat a maximum of four dishes per meal, patch the dragon robe, and reduce the expenses of the royal family, in this way, he can probably save three million to five million silver dollars a year, which can be accumulated.

But......

"I have been busy for more than ten years, only in my early thirties, I have so many gray hairs on my head, judging from the photos, I am older than Xu Yuan of Xujiazhuang, this is the reason for overwork, if I reduce my personal enjoyment, isn't my health worse, I will age faster, I may not live more than fifty, what is the point of such a result, it is better to give up persistence, be a mediocre king, anyway, relying on the income provided by Xujiazhuang, and the income of the royal factory and the royal store, it is enough to live a very nourishing life."

"What's more, I am the emperor, I am the Ninety-Five, what's wrong with my enjoyment, no matter how extravagant I am alone, how much money can I spend, the bulk of it is not spent on this huge empire, I can't even enjoy one-tenth of it, I have always put money into it, compared with other business groups, I am simply the worst, and they are far surpassed!"

"It's no wonder, why are there more and more people learning from Xu Yuan now, and privately talking about opening mines and factories to make money, which is even cooler than being an emperor, if I am just a businessman and industrialist, how can I live such a hard time? The so-called throne is just good-looking, and there is not much at all! ”

"I don't care, I have to be selfish, think more about myself, and find a way to save more money!"
