Chapter 146: White Lies

Came to Lao Zhu's study next door, retreated left and right, Zhu Yuan put the two account books he brought on the bookcase in front of him, and just sat down on his special table and chair, he saw Lao Zhu on the opposite side looking at him with a strange expression.

Knowing Lao Zhu's thoughts, Zhu Yuan spread his hands directly: "Ancestor, what you asked me to say, I can't say that the general can become the principal because of his Wen Taowu strategy, right?" ”

It is often fierce in spring, and the generals honed on the battlefield will also fight. Can...... It must be a lot worse than 'Wen Taowu'.

Lao Zhu spoke: "That...... Wusha? ”

"Ancestor, I just said it casually," Zhu Yuan confessed: "Moreover, this is not a fake, according to the original historical trend, the general will indeed have a big catastrophe next year." My name is ...... Well, a white lie after a little processing. ”

"Lie," Lao Zhu laughed, staring at his own precious twenty-third grandson opposite: "I just thought, you are here, but there are no white lies?" ”

"This ...... Really not," Zhu Yuan immediately showed a pitiful, aggrieved and weak expression: "Ancestor, you know everything about me, so I don't need to lie." ”

Lao Zhu didn't believe it: "You kid, you can talk too much." ”

Zhu Yuan also wanted to defend himself, and noticed the two account books he had just put down.

Pregnant.

Directly pushed over: "Ancestor, look at these two account books." ”

Old Zhu Ben didn't mean to hold on, thinking that Zhu Yuan had changed the topic, so he took it, and immediately reacted: "Two copies? ”

"Ancestor, you can see how honest I am with you," Zhu Yuan was still pitiful and aggrieved and weak: "The people below only sent a book of 'Shangshanju' yesterday, but I think that the account of 'Zhiyongzhai' should also be taken a look at by Zu, and I brought it here today." It is said that wealth is not exposed, ancestors, Zhiyongzhai also makes a lot of money, so much so that whoever sees it, the first reaction is not to let outsiders know. If I had any thoughts, I should have hidden this account, or changed it, and made the profit figure smaller, and then showed it to you, but I didn't think of doing it, and I saw it myself in the morning, and I brought it to you immediately. And, for example, what I want to say is, let you tax businessmen like me a little more, so as to regulate the distribution. Ancestor, have you ever seen someone come to you in the hope of collecting more taxes on themselves, I'm afraid they all want you to reduce their taxes, right? ”

Lao Zhu flipped through the account book of Zhiyongzhai that he had not read, and listened to the chatter of his baby twenty-third grandson, and the little doubt that was only very shallow in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he waved his hand to interrupt: "Okay, okay, I'll just say a word, and I will provoke you to talk a lot." ”

Zhu Yuan is still pitiful, aggrieved and weak.

However, I was relieved in my heart.

Clearance!

The fake twenty-third grandson can only tell the truth more!

On the other side, Lao Zhu flipped through the account book, glanced at the other side, thinking that he was really a little wronged by the child opposite, and couldn't help adding: "I let people inform you in the morning, because I like those ...... Just pick and choose, no matter how much, just pay attention to your body and don't indulge. ”

Zhu Yuan nodded slightly: "Well......"

That's the gesture.

Lao Zhu glanced at it with disgust, retracted his gaze, and quickly turned to the final general ledger of Zhiyongzhai.

Still surprised.

A small stationery store, in less than a year, actually made a net profit of 310,000 taels of silver.

This......

Speaking of which, when Lao Zhu saw the single-day income of up to 16,000 taels of silver on the first day of Zhiyongzhai at the beginning of the year, he had already sighed once, and calculated at that time that according to the sales volume of that single day, wouldn't there be 6 million taels in a year?

If you open two shops, your income will be worthy of the Ming grain.

However, at that time, I also understood that things could not be counted like this, and on the first day of opening, many people cheered, and there must be more, and it is not yet known how it can be done in the future.

Right now...... Got it.

From March at the beginning of the year to the wax moon at the end of the year, in less than ten months, this small shop made a turnover of more than 370,000 taels, and made a net profit of 310,000 taels.

...... year

If you know how to make a living, where is the need to join the army?

Become a businessman!

Therefore, Lao Zhu thought of the situation when he saw the account book of 'Shangshanju' after the dinner with the ministers last night.

At that time, Lao Zhu was still a little drunk, but when he looked at it, he woke up.

In five months, a glass business has a turnover of more than 2 million taels. and the net profit, which is 1.906 million taels, which is much higher than the salt tax that has been settled this year.

In the first year of Hongwu, compared with 1.37 million taels in the first year of Wu, the total revenue of salt tax this year was 1.53 million taels...... This represents a year-on-year increase of 11.6%.

Lao Zhu was originally very satisfied.

Until...... Last night I saw the harvest of the Shangshan Ju.

Lao Zhu didn't know if his eyes were red after he woke up at that time, but he felt that his daughter-in-law, who had been chasing after him after sending the account book, had very red eyes, and obviously didn't believe it, and rarely wanted to pay attention to the rules, urging Lao Zhu to send someone to ask about the increase overnight.

Although Mars knows the benefits of glass, it can ...... It's also too thick.

It's only been five months.

Lao Zhu's first reaction felt like a fake, but he had already seen all kinds of miracles of his baby's twenty-third grandson, and Lao Zhu understood that there was no reason for the child to send a fake account book to entertain himself.

In that case, it must be true.

Then, Lao Zhu was a little confused. Suddenly, there was such a large sum of silver...... Not...... How to spend it?

Originally......

The equity originally allocated to the twenty-third grandson of his own baby was given to the royal family thirty percent, and the Ying Hai Division took fifty percent, and Lao Zhu was also a little cautious, feeling that there was no need to leave so much for the Ying Hai Division, so he finally gave it to his own sixty percent, and only left two percent for the Ying Hai Division.

Now think about it......

Much more.

Only counting the sixty percent of the dividends, it is 1.14 million taels. What's more, the total net profit turned out to be 1.906 million taels.

If it is a great deal of money...... I don't want to divide it according to the previous rules, well, my own child's share, it must be given, the child obviously expected the generous profits of the glass, and insisted on only being willing to be one percent, they are so sensible, how can they be wronged.

Other......

However, I didn't sleep well all night, and in the early dynasty, I heard the courtiers discuss the follow-up of the matter in Shuzhong, and learned that there were still a batch of criminals to pay, and Lao Zhu immediately thought of his baby twenty-third grandson.

Speaking of which, after returning to Jinling, Zhu Yuan was tired, and Lao Zhu quietly asked Sun Shouzhen and Dai Sanchun.

Healers can see many things.

Whether it is Sun Shouzhen or Dai Sanchun, they all made it clear that although there are many women around their baby twenty-third grandson, they are not addicted to it, but they are very restrained. That time I fainted, just because my body was too weak and tired.

After Lao Zhu heard it, he was both distressed and relieved.

Therefore, this time...... Since I like how many women around me to watch, I must give it.

Thinking so, Lao Zhu finished flipping through the account book in front of him and looked at the opposite side: "Yuan'er, according to these two account books, you can tell me your thoughts first?" ”

"Let's talk about the name first, ancestor," Zhu Yuan said with a smile: "Daming Royal Asset Management Group, or, Jinling Dongcheng Asset Management Group, I found that after you proposed it, you only said to choose the first one, but you have not been too sure." Next year, because of the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce, even if it is royal, the corresponding agency will have to be officially registered, and I think the ancestors will definitely have no opinion...... Well, my attitude, ancestor, or is it a little more low-key? ”

Lao Zhu was originally serious, but when he saw Zhu Yuan mention this, he also laughed: "Okay, just like you, choose the latter one, Jinling Dongcheng Asset Management Group." ”

Even if Zhu Yuan didn't say it, because of the account books he saw last night, Lao Zhu already had some thoughts in his heart.

Just as Zhu Yuan just said, wealth is not exposed.

Lao Zhu didn't realize it before, this time ...... It's profound.

Zhu Yuan continued: "Ancestor, do you remember the intentions of the twenty percent of the shares that were recovered from various maritime merchants? ”

"Naturally, I remember."

Zhu Yuan said: "Jinling Dongcheng Asset Management Group, can be said to be an example, next, after the big seal, my idea is that each nobleman should also have a family asset management group, ancestor, what do you think?" ”

Lao Zhu's first reaction was to frown slightly, and then quickly stretched out: "You ...... This ......"

I felt understood, but for a while, I couldn't figure it out.

"Jinling Dongcheng Asset Management Group must be registered with the Ministry of Commerce, which means that the royal family accepts the supervision of the imperial court to a certain extent, and in the future, the royal family will pay the taxes that should be paid, and the rules that should be obeyed by the royal family will also be abided by. Ancestor, your first reaction may be to feel uncomfortable, but what I want to say is that this rule, fundamentally, is to maintain the existence of the Ming Dynasty. And whose family is Daming, it belongs to our Zhu family, that is to say, we abide by the rules ourselves, in fact, it is also to protect our own country. To put it more clearly, ancestors, this is also to prevent unscrupulous descendants from coming in the future. Just like the ancestral teachings left by the ancestors, the idea is actually right. It's just that...... In another life, you don't have me as a counselor. ”

Lao Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "This ...... Or do you say that, I think, the rules are too untenable? ”

"That's right, if it's an emergency, some rules can't be too scrupulously followed," Zhu Yuan said: "Yuan'er's consideration is that we can't change some fundamental things, such as the Heaven and Earth Monarch and Teacher, such as benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, if you change it, it will be the collapse of etiquette and music." This is one of the rites. In addition, one of the 'forces', 'production' and 'distribution', two fundamentals, one to improve production and the other to promote distribution, these two things will certainly not be wrong. But, beyond these, everything else can be adjusted according to reality. ”

Lao Zhu listened, and his thinking was very expanded: "This ...... word 'li', if it is critical, you can also put it away, just like I, a rough person who reasoned with you, must not be able to speak, then you have to use a fist first." ”

Zhu Yuan's little chicken pecked the rice, and shook his head gently: "Ancestor, this analogy is inappropriate, you are an elder, you don't need to move your fists to persuade me." ”

"Hey......" Lao Zhu smiled, didn't continue this, but said: "The name is set, be low-key, you take it, right?" ”

Zhu Yuan continued: "Speaking of commercial tax, Yuan'er still has the same attitude when talking about salt tea before, and the commercial tax of about 30% is actually more reasonable, rather than 30 taxes." However, it will definitely not work if this is implemented now. Take tea as an example, what we should do now is to encourage tea production first, increase tea production to or even exceed the Song Dynasty, and in the process, gradually adjust the tax rate. ”

"I know this truth, or you, first improve 'production', and then promote 'distribution'."

"That's right," Zhu Yuan said: "The current state of the Ming Dynasty can be described as a hundred wastes waiting to be rebuilt, and the rush to collect taxes will only inhibit the development of productive forces." However, just like this glass, and the stationery for Zhiyongzhai, well, and the overseas trade, and so on, the profits are too high, and you can't let such a huge profit flow into private hands like that, ancestors, what should I do? ”

"Huh...... You also said this," Lao Zhu said: "Let the imperial court take care of these things, you mentioned that before...... I'm already making ceramics, isn't that the case? ”

Zhu Yuan patted his hand lightly: "That's right, that's it." ”

Lao Zhu laughed again: "In this case, are you willing to set an example first, then use the shares of Zhai to give a part of the imperial court?" ”

Lao Zhu was joking, even if he read the account book, he didn't mean to move his mind, after all, there was a good house. What you can think about is that your children have some money, but don't squander it too much, it's better to do some practical things.

However, Zhu Yuan nodded immediately: "Ancestor, I thought about it when I came, I still only left Yicheng, and I don't want the rest." ”

This time, Lao Zhu was silent.

Silly boy.

This......

How can it be so good?

After a little brewing, Lao Zhu felt that this was really not good, and remembered one thing: "Just say it...... The matter of the land earlier, thousands of acres and acres of fertile land, you said you don't want it, and you don't want it, and you don't let me publicize it, saying that you don't want to be that example. I didn't talk to anyone. However, there are also people who know. This time, this Zhiyong Zhai has made a lot of money, and you have to give it away again...... And then count the good dwelling, this ...... It's really not good, if you do too much, you will, well, put others on the shelf, if other people make a good living, you have to think about whether to give it away, to the court, to the royal family, then no one will be willing to do this anymore......"

Lao Zhu was stumbling, thinking and talking, and as he became more and more transparent, he made a decision: "That's it, Zhiyongzhai, you still keep it, Shangshanju, this share, don't move." No matter how much money you have, I am sure you will not squander it. In the future, if there are many other livelihoods, such as the Guan Jufang in preparation, or more, when the time comes, it will attract the imperial court, the royal family, and the nobles...... Let's pool the money and do it together. What do you think? ”

Zhu Yuan thought for a while, and then nodded: "The ancestor's method seems to be better." ”

Zhiyongzhai's shares, if they are given away, to be honest, Zhu Yuan is not distressed or anything like that, after all, he can develop more livelihoods in the future, but if he can stay, he will not forcibly push it out.

Moreover, I thought of 'Zigong ransom' again.

You can't do it too well, or others won't want to follow you.

And again.

Sitting in this way, next, it is equivalent to gradually linking the civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty.

If everyone does business together and makes a lot of money, then, if some reasonable restrictions are added, the traditional top of the pyramid will no longer have a firm eye on the land.
