As Zhu Cijiong grew older, he became more and more assertive.

At that moment, Zhu Cijiong said with a dark face: "Master Huang, is this king wrong?" God sent such a big drought to my Daming, but only gave Jiannu a small drought, and the pseudo-shun is even more smooth, isn't this blind? It is said that it should be the other way around, and the Jiannu and the pseudo-shun should be allowed to suffer a catastrophe. ”

"This is a big mistake for the king." Huang Daozhou retorted with a straight face, "Those who love others and benefit others will be blessed by heaven, and those who are wicked and thieves will be cursed by heaven, and disasters will be sent from heaven, and the emperor's virtue will be lost......"

"Fart!" Zhu Cijiong was furious and said, "Where is my father's virtue? ”

Zhu Cihong also couldn't help but refute the teacher and said: "Master Huang doesn't dare to agree with this statement, how to ignore Chongzhen seventeen years ago, what his father did after seventeen years, but it is really a living people, Jiangnan and even the entire Ming Dynasty don't know how many people live because of their father's thoughts, how can this be virtuous and disadvantageous?" ”

Even Lu Zhenfei and the three of them also felt that Huang Daozhou was really a bit excessive.

I won't say what happened to the saint before he realized the Tao in the coal mountain, but what he did after the coal mountain realized the Tao, they all saw it in their eyes, whether it was governance or martial arts, it was impeccable.

Therefore, the evaluation of virtue and virtue will not fall on the head of the saint in any case.

was counted down by Zhu Cihong and Cijiong in front of everyone, and Huang Daozhou's face couldn't be hung up.

When even took off the black yarn and begged for the bones of Chongzhen: "Saint, the old minister is old and faint, and he is really unworthy of the heavy responsibility of the cabinet assistant, and please look at the old minister's conscientious work for the Ming Dynasty for many years, and allow the old minister's bones to be buried in his hometown." ”

Seeing Huang Daozhou standing there leaning on the old and selling the old, Chongzhen was also a little tired in his heart, and he came to this set of things.

To be honest, Chongzhen's most annoying thing is the theory of heaven and man induction, natural disasters are natural disasters, what droughts, floods, earthquakes, or landslides and the like have a half-dime relationship with people? Why did the emperor offend himself when a natural disaster occurred in the Ming Dynasty? The next edict is not enough, and you have to repeat the edict again and again?

At that moment, Chongzhen directly kicked the ball back to the cabinet and said to Lu Zhenfei: "Lu Ge Lao, Huang Ge Lao said that he is old and no longer competent for the affairs of the cabinet, what do you say?" ”

"Holy Lord, Huang Ge Lao's words are just angry words, and the minister will go back and persuade him."

Lu Zhenfei still wanted to leave Zodiac Zhou with dignity, but Zodiac Zhou couldn't hold it back.

Seeing that Chongzhen did not keep himself as usual, Huang Daozhou put down the black yarn and turned around and left.

At first, Huang Daozhou still fantasized that Chongzhen would say something to save him, but Chongzhen didn't say anything until he walked out of the door, so he could only take a sad and lonely carriage back to the apartment, and then left Nanjing that night.

Seeing Huang Daozhou leave, Chongzhen said again: "Although the output of Henan and Huguang is enough to make up for the food shortage, but the eggs can't be only put in one basket, and the Ming court can't only pin its hopes on Henan or Huguang provinces, otherwise if something happens to these two provinces, wouldn't it be blind?" ”

Lu Zhenfei asked solemnly: "What does the saint mean that he still has to buy grain from overseas?" ”

"Yes, we have to buy food from overseas." Chongzhen said, "It's the annual council meeting of the General Chamber of Commerce soon, and I want to attend this year's council meeting in person, and by the way, I call on everyone to buy grain." ”

……

Shi Jiuke will also participate in this year's general chamber of commerce board meeting.

Not everyone can participate in the General Chamber of Commerce Council Meeting, only directors are qualified.

Shi Jiuke is the director of Xinchang County, the capital of Zhejiang Province, so he is qualified to attend the meeting.

Shi Zheng asked Shi Jiuke: "Son, after arriving in Nanjing this time, I will remember to donate 5,000 yuan to the Hanlin Daily, it is best to find a few influential scholars to write a few eloquent articles through the relationship of your brother-in-law Xu Yingwei, so as to refute the crooked theories mentioned above in the Huangming Times, these people dare to talk about restricting the monarch's power?" It just doesn't make sense. ”

As a Taoist, Shi Zhengwen naturally hated the doctrine of restricting the power of the monarch.

Shi Jiuke didn't want to get involved in politics, and frowned: "Dad, can we not get involved in this matter?" ”

"You can't sit idly by." Shi Zheng asked anxiously, "This matter is related to the national capital of the Ming Dynasty, if you are not careful, the mountains will shake, the husband will do something and not do something, and the things next to him can be dealt with calmly, but this matter is not good, even if you take the life of our Huangtan Shi family, you can't sit idly by." ”

Shi Jiuke listened to it, but his face was bitter.

The heart says that it is easy for me to create a great karma?

Why do you have to get into it all with a word?

Just because you are my son? Still unreasonable?

But Shi Jiu didn't dare to go against his own son, so he moved his brother-in-law Xu Yingwei out.

Because Shi Jiuke knows that in the entire family, he can only listen to his brother-in-law's opinions, and the reason is very simple, just because his brother-in-law is a big official.

At that moment, Shi Jiuke said: "Dad, Youzhen asked someone to give me a sentence some time ago, so that I can concentrate on the business of silk and raw silk, and less involved in the battle of ideas." ”

"Is this really a gift to you?" Shi Zheng asked suspiciously.

"This is really given to me by Zhenzhen, what did my son do to lie to you." Shi Jiuke swore with a curse, "Youzhen also said that it is the trend of the times to rebuild the Emperor's ancestral teachings, and the Holy One also supports it, we either don't get involved, and if we have to participate in it, it can only support the Emperor's Times, not the Hanlin Daily." ”

"Huh? How so? Shi Zheng asked so worriedly that he began to pull his beard.

Seeing that he finally "suppressed" his own Lao Tzu, Shi Jiuke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After leaving Huangtan Shi's house, Shi Jiuke deliberately took a detour to Dongshan Village.

Xu Shiyi was very polite to Shi Jiuke, and also "introduced" more than 100 helpers to Shi Jiuke.

Since Xu Yingwei returned to his hometown to recruit soldiers, the life of the Xu family in Mudong has been much better, but this year there was a once-in-500-year drought, and many families returned to poverty.

This time, Xu Yingwei was far away in Gaizhou.

But fortunately, Shi Jiuke's workshop has grown.

Arranging a few hundred or so helpers is a piece of cake for several handicraft workshops of the Shi family.

By the way, Shi Jiuke's silk weaving workshop has grown to more than 500 looms, more than 2,000 weavers, and can weave 20,000 to 30,000 silk horses a year, which is already a large workshop.

Shijia Weaving Workshop can grow to this extent in less than two years, in addition to Shi Jiuke himself bold enough, but also inseparable from the strong support of the Industrial and Commercial Silver, up to now, Shi Jiuke has been divided into three times, has borrowed 110,000 yuan from the Industrial and Commercial Silver, and also pledged 40% of the shares in exchange for 200,000 capital injections.

Up to now, the total capital of Shijia Workshop has exceeded 500,000 yuan.

But with the expansion of the workshop, Shi Jiuke also encountered a bottleneck.

In the past, when the workshop was small, there was no need to worry about sales.

But now, the Shijia workshop has produced more than 20,000 pieces of silk a year, and it can be regarded as a medium-sized silk workshop in Jiangnan, which has a certain influence on the entire silk market, and the competition has become fiercer, and it can no longer be sold as a business as before.

The biggest problem that Shi Jiuke encountered was the price reduction among silk merchants.

Because there is only one piece of the total silk trade cake, whoever eats more will definitely have someone to eat less, but no one wants to eat less, so they can only reduce the price, and in the end, everyone will have no money to make.

Last month, Shi Jiuke calculated an account, this year there are obviously more looms, and the number of woven silk is also more, but the profit earned is not even half of last year's, which means that the half year has been in vain.

So this time when he went to Nanjing to attend the conference, Shi Jiuke was ready to raise this question.

From Xinchang to Nanjing, you have to go through Huiji, and Shi Jiuke entered Huijifu City again.

"Brother Jiuke, why are you here?" Seeing Shi Jiuke, Zheng Zunrang looked very happy, "If you don't come again, I'll leave first." ”

Zheng Zunrang, the younger brother of Zheng Zunqian, the big treasurer of the royal industrial silver number, is also the young owner of Huiji Distillery.

Zheng Zunrang is very grateful for this great era, if it weren't for catching up with this great era, the Zheng family's winery would not have been inherited by him, and it would have been impossible to borrow so much money to expand the scale.

At the beginning, Zhengjia Distillery could only brew a few hundred stone rice wine a year.

But now, Zhengjia Distillery can brew tens of thousands of stone fermented wine in a month.

In the past, the Zhengjia Liquor Workshop was still a little famous in Huijifu City.

But now, who in the eight provinces and one state in the south of the Yangtze River doesn't know the name of the Zheng Family Distillery?

Of course, the Zhengjia Distillery was able to expand to this extent in such a short period of time, and it also paid a great price, that is, it pledged sixty percent of the shares to the Industrial and Commercial Industrial Silver Account.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zunrang complained to his brother.

Others thought that Zhengjia Distillery must have taken a big advantage from the Industrial and Commercial Industrial Silver Account, but only Zheng Zunrang knew that the loan interest lent by the Industrial and Commercial Industrial Silver Account to the Zhengjia Distillery was in accordance with the highest standards, such as the pledge of the shares of the Jiufang, and in exchange for other companies, at most 50% of the shares would be pledged, but Zhengjia Distillery must pledge 60% of the shares.

Zheng Zunrang complained a few words, and in exchange for Zheng Zunqian's slapping head and covering his face, he reprimanded him.

Seeing his best friend Shi Jiuke, Zheng Zunrang couldn't help but complain again: "Brother Jiuke, do you say that I, Zheng Zunrang, am I wronged?" has the reputation of Zheng Zunqian's younger brother on his head, but he hasn't even reaped the slightest benefit, and even the big order for the fermented wine for the new army is also the thread that Xu gave advice and Brother Jiuke. ”

"Hey, what are you and my brother talking about?" Shi Jiuke waved his hand and said.

"By the way, is your Zheng Family Distillery going to Liaodong to transport fermented wine again?"

"Well, it will be loaded and shipped in a few days, along with the rice cakes from Xianhenglou." Zheng Zunrang nodded and said, "If it is not transported over, Beihai will have to wait for next year." ”
