Chapter 82: Great Talent
The emperor summoned his courtiers.
Although they are all going to enter the palace, the location of each meeting is not exactly the same, but the harem is a forbidden place... So this kind of good thing is not to be thought about.
Summer did not go.
Even if the sun is setting, you can't feel too much coolness.
Zhu Di's eyes kept wandering around Wang Siqi's body, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Why don't you study and take a fame test?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the minister feels hopeless."
"Then what is the matter of the Treasure Source Bureau now, do you want to tell me that you are an incompetent person who can only move roughly?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the minister didn't do it, Xu Min was invited to the Baoyuan Bureau by the minister in an upright and upright manner, and everyone knows about it."
"The treasure money has been lifted to you, what are you going to do?"
As soon as this question came out, Zhu Gaochi's brows on the side were furrowed, in fact, this was also something he had been very curious about for a long time, that is, the Treasure Source Bureau, which was now bigger than before, did not seem to have changed much because of Wang Siqi's arrival.
Wang Siqi heard Zhu Di ask.
Unhurriedly explained: "The country's money is the cornerstone of a country's economy, and since it is the cornerstone, it naturally does not need to change much. ”
"No change?"
Zhu Di's gaze at Wang Siqi instantly became a lot colder, and there was a little chill in his words, and he said, "Do you know that I didn't let you go to the Baoyuan Bureau to let you do business in peace, but to let you get money for me." ”
"Now, you tell me... Don't have to move? ”
"Don't move, have silver?"
"Yes!"
"Where did it come from?"
"From this bustling world, from this world of Li people, from this world of rich businessmen, from this overseas thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!"
Wang Siqi's words were loud, so that Zhu Gaochi on the side couldn't help but be amazed, and he was even more determined that he had found a usable talent.
"Hahaha! Then you're going to tell me that by now... All you did was build a wine shop in the capital and rent a few shops to sell wine... Is that all you mean about silver? ”
Zhu Di's rhetorical question came quickly.
And Wang Siqi already had a response in his heart, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about who is the richest in the world now?" ”
Zhu Di subconsciously said: "Isn't it my treasury?" ”
"Definitely! But those merchants, landlords, wealthy households, and clans scattered throughout the Ming Dynasty are the richest, and what will they do when they have money? ”
"Or use the silver to buy more land, causing a large-scale land annexation, which will eventually cause an indelible cancer to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Or use the silver for pleasure, which can be seen from the fact that the minister's Zanghua Pavilion and Baoyuan Aging can earn more than 100,000 taels of silver from the capital in a short period of time!"
"And they will never use it to innovate technology and invest in it!"
"Revolutionary technology?"
"Yes! Your Majesty.. The world of tomorrow, the future of tomorrow... Everything will be centered on technology, with craftsmen with craftsmanship at the core. ”
"Only they have innovation in their hands, they have technology in their hands."
"For example, if Da Ming didn't have so many craftsmen, would Da Ming still have so many sophisticated equipment, and would there still be a powerful sailor who shocked the world! Behind all this, the craftsmen of Daming are paying silently, and now the treatment of Daming craftsmen is the lowest! ”
"Shinong Industry and Commerce!"
"The development of Daming, no one can play without it!"
Wang Siqi's words made Zhu Di fall into a long period of self-doubt, and he seemed to be a little surprised.
"But since the ancestors, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty have lived and worked like this... Never had anything come out? Isn't that enough to show that such an approach is the right one? Besides... If you want to improve the treatment of craftsmen, don't you want silver? ”
In and out of words, I still can't get around the silver.
Wang Siqi also knows that from the founding of the old Zhu to the current Zhu Di... In fact, there is a key factor that cannot be bypassed, that is, there is no money in hand.
Due to the connivance of the imperial court tax system on scholars, on the one hand, it affects the current tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty, and it will cause trouble in the future.
"But change starts today!"
"That's it! I know, you guy doesn't speak directly like your father Wang You, and you are talking about me after so many detours! ”
Zhu Di looked very unhappy, but only Zhu Di himself knew that the kid in front of him was really a rare talent in the Ming Dynasty.
is silently calculating in his heart, if he really marries Chang Ning to Wang Siqi.
Maneuverability... How big is it?
......
Leaving in front of Zhu Di, he walked on the way to the East Palace.
In fact, it was Wang Siqi walking, Zhu Gaochi could only sit on the guard of honor carried by four people, looked at Wang Siqi and said: "Wang Gongzi... What you said today is true? If you want to fill the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, is it difficult to let the imperial court do business? ”
"Why not?"
Zhu Gaochi was silent for a long time, and said again: "But now that the imperial court has controlled salt and iron, if it interferes in private business... It is inevitable that it will not be said by those imperial histories to compete with the people! ”
Wang Siqi shook his head.
The imperial history of the Ming Dynasty can have a few clean butts.
Then he said: "It is necessarily a good thing that a lot of business is not completely handed over to private businessmen, and who said that the business done by the imperial court can only be done by the imperial court?" ”
"Like the current Baoyuan Aging of the Baoyuan Bureau, it is just an ordinary one of the world's famous wines, and it is also the name of the Baoyuan Bureau!"
"Does this mean that the imperial court is also doing business?"
"After all, all the money earned was left in the Baoyuan Bureau, but in the end, all of it was spent through other methods."
...
Zhu Gaochi was a little confused, but continued to ask: "Then what other businesses can the imperial court do?" Could it be that there is only wine? ”
"You'll find out..."
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, doing business is not just as simple as it seems... For example, the Baoyuan Distillery opened by the minister.. Although ostensibly by selling alcohol to make money. ”
"But in fact, for Da Ming... Just one more business has benefited those who sell wine jars, grain, sake lees, and horse-drawn carriages, and I don't know how many businesses up and down have benefited. ”
"Did these benefits exist before the appearance of Baoyuan Distillery?"
.... After finishing speaking, Wang Siqi saw Zhu Gaochi fall into deep thought, and after saying goodbye, he turned around and came out of the palace.
Sunset..
Slowly swallowed up by the skyline, Zhu Gaochi sat on the guard of honor in a daze, and it was not until he arrived at the East Palace that he took a deep breath and said, "Prince Wang!" Great talent! ”
