Zhu Di grabbed Zhu Gaochi, it was a real beating, his fist pounded on Zhu Dazhuang's body, Xu Jingchang felt pain when he saw it, he swore to God that he would never beat Xu Xianzhong like this.

And in order to show his distress for Zhu Dazhuang, Xu Jingchang handed the purple bamboo fishing rod to Zhu Di.

Zhu Laosi held it in his hand, and before he could fight, Zhu Gaochi subconsciously broke free and ran away!

"You dare to run?" Zhu Di screamed.

Zhu Gaochi replied: "I'm not a fool, the small staff is taken by the big stick, this is what the sage said." ”

"Saints? The saint can't control me, see if I don't kill you! ”

Zhu Di chased after each step, Zhu Gaochi ran away, father and son, happy and harmonious.

Xu Jingchang didn't panic at all, he boiled a pot of mountain spring water, and then soaked a pot of Jinshan Cuiya...... This tea comes from Zhenjiang Mansion, and it is not the famous tea of Longjing and Dahongpao, but there is one key point, this is produced by the Xu family's own tea house.

That's right, Xu Jingchang is also quietly laying out the industry...... Everyone else is investing and making a fortune, let's be indifferent!

Of course, Xu Jingchang avoided projects for the national economy and people's livelihood, and did not go to popular tracks such as silk and porcelain with those people.

It's not that Xu Jingchang can't do them, it's just that his subordinates are merciful, otherwise he can let Jinyiwei check eight times a day, and no matter how much business you have, you will be yellow.

Xu Jingchang made things very ...... For example, to plant some tea, he also made a lot of walnut trees, and in a few years he can sell cultural toys, and what kind of gnatish cages and cricket boxes...... Anyway, as long as the three words Dingguo Gong are printed, or the Xu Mansion is written to enjoy the play, it represents high-end civilization, which is also a good financial road.

And it is worth mentioning that Xu Jingchang has begun to engage in cultural export.

On the piece of land he had built in Annan, a football stadium had been built...... Xu Jingchang plans to promote the new game of football to Annan.

This is a good business, Zhu Di has already done a riding and archery competition, in order to avoid colliding with His Majesty the Emperor, Xu Jingchang is thinking about having a World Cup in the future.

Xu Jingchang is a messy ghost idea, so look, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, has a big business, and has many employees, all over the north and south of the river, prosperous, cooking oil with fire, and brocade with flowers.

But his business is a big business, a big business, and a lot of expenses.

It belongs to taking seven lids to cover eight cauldrons, all depending on the operation.

And Xu Jingchang plays things, all of which are not big investments, super high profits, and he doesn't have double the net profit, so he doesn't care about it.

So for him, it will be of great use to let his son learn this set of things from an early age...... What's wrong with the gentleman? Who stipulates that the children of gentlemen can't play tricks and play out of the way?

No, you can't!

Drinking my own tea, my throat is refreshing, and the greasy feeling is swept away.

At this time, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were also out of breath and ran back.

Zhu Di sat down, grabbed the teacup and drank it.

Xu Jingchang lowered his head and didn't speak, and at this time Zhu Gaochi came back out of breath.

"Father, you can say it, don't hit people suddenly!"

Zhu Di glared at him viciously, "You are becoming more and more bold now, and you are becoming more and more unfilial!" ”

Zhu Gaochi was unceremoniously, "Father, I don't do things, you said that the son is not like the father, and you want to pass the throne to the second brother." I do things, and you say that I am not filial, what do you want? It's so hard to be a child. ”

"You still dare to slam your mouth!" Zhu Di snorted: "Let you do things, not let you take risks!" Those water thieves are bold and crazy, what if they kill you and let your father do? ”

Zhu Gaochi could feel his father's concern, but he was still unconvinced.

"Who said they were thieves? Do you have any proof?"

"Who said that? The following recitals often mention banditry, is it fake? ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "Father, you haven't thought about it, it's really fake? ”

"Fake? How dare they bully the king? ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "It's not easy to say, after all, the common people who can't deal with them and are inconvenient to admit are called bandits, which is convenient for them to make errands and fool them." ”

Zhu Di was quite surprised, he calmed down at this moment, slowly sat on the chair, suddenly looked up, saw Xu Jingchang, and asked, "What do you think of what Prince Fangcai said?" ”

Xu Jingchang said: "The minister is really not good at commenting, I can only say that in principle, it makes sense...... However, in the absence of more realistic, strong, direct and clear evidence, the reasonableness of the speculation cannot be denied, nor can it be rashly admitted...... All in all, further research is needed to come up with more acceptable and plausible conclusions. ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a while before slapping the table and scolding, "Talk about people!" Speak human words! ”

Xu Jingchang was helpless, "Your Majesty, since it can't be solved, it is also a good strategy to ignore some problems." ”

"Phew! That's shameless, it's shirking responsibility, it's disobeying the yin, this kind of mediocre and incompetent official, I can't keep a single one! ”

"Then there won't be a few people left in the court." Xu Jingchang muttered quietly.

"What did you say?" Zhu Di stared at him angrily, and Xu Jingchang hurriedly shut up.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi finally spoke, "Father, it's not all the fault of the place...... It's just that in the huge world, there are always those people who are not suitable for farming and can't get land. There are even many lowly people, who cannot live under the rule of the government. So they had to hide in the mountains, in the rivers and lakes, away from the temples. ”

Zhu Di was stunned, and said for a long time: "What you said also makes sense...... Come on, come and sit down, let's have a good talk. ”

Seeing that Zhu Di was no longer in danger, Zhu Gaochi came over.

"Father, we are one thing, I found the water thieves in Poyang Lake...... Let's call them water thieves, but in fact, many of them are fishermen. ”

"Fishermen?"

"Well, they don't have land, they can only live on boats and make a living by fishing."

Zhu Di said again: "Then how are they doing?" ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "In all fairness, with the diligence of fishermen, you can live well. ”

"That's actually not good, isn't it?" Zhu Di asked with a smile.

Zhu Gaochi nodded, "This problem is mainly due to taxes. ”

"What do you mean, fishermen don't have to pay taxes?"

"Father, that's not the case...... Fishermen have no food, and in some places they are allowed to pay taxes with bacon, while in others they are not. ”

Hearing this, Xu Jingchang next to him couldn't help but snort...... That's how taxes in kind...... In addition to bacon, any broomsticks, medicinal herbs, reed mats, and messy things can all be deductible from taxes.

It's just that it's hard to really convert these things into cash, and the household department is not allowed to escort them to the capital, and basically store them in local warehouses until they rot and throw them away.

Since it's the local government, the article here is big.

Collect more and collect less, or simply don't collect at all, it's not all up to the master's mind!

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "It's easy to do it if it's just like this, but in some places it is required to be converted into silver...... The people fished all year round, and they couldn't scrape together a few taels of silver. Some magistrates confiscated the fishermen's boats, leaving them with no means of livelihood. Desperate, many fishermen had no choice but to flee to the depths of Poyang Lake to become water thieves. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but be furious, "It's all the incompetence of the local officials, the officials force the people to rebel, they should be killed!" ”

Zhu Gaochi didn't answer Zhu Di's words, but sighed: "This time the child went to Poyang Lake, so I ordered the place to build three bacon inns...... Specializing in the purchase of bacon, bacon and fish that meet the specifications, and send them to the capital for sale. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, his face was overjoyed, his son's idea is good?

Xu Jingchang also stroked his palms and smiled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has established a bacon trading house, and with standards, fishermen can sell it for money." The capital also has an additional supply, which is really a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "My cousin praised it, in fact, this also has something to do with the imperial court, now that the imperial court has reformed the tax system, the share of commercial taxes is increasing, and the banknote law is also conducive to the development of businessmen." If I had done it in the past, even if I wanted to, I would have been powerless. ”

These two people boast about each other...... Zhu Di fell into deep thought, the previous tax system was not suitable, and the people could barely maintain themselves if they were good officials, but when they encountered corrupt officials, they were forced to fall into the grass.

In this way, although these people live in the land of the Ming Dynasty, they have been out of the control of the imperial court...... Strictly speaking, these people are a negative effect, because once the world is in chaos and something happens to the imperial court, they will take the opportunity to expose it.

However, with the reform of the tax system, the shortcomings of business have been filled, so that these fishermen, like farmers, have contributed to the country and become a positive asset to the country.

Moreover, it also marked that the imperial court could control the entire Poyang Lake area, and the output of the lake also fell into the hands of the state.

"Boss, how is life as a fisherman?"

Zhu Gaochi said: "Father, fishermen can catch hundreds of catties of fish every day, and their income alone is much better than that of farmers...... The boy helped them connect with Yingtian's workshop, and they were able to buy some cheap fishing nets. Then I managed to get them salt and wood, smoked bacon, and marinated the bacon, which was much more convenient. ”

This is not a special grace from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but just a benefit that ordinary people can get after being included in the Yellow Book.

Zhu Gaochi explained, the people below will follow the rules, and there will be no additional price increase.

And just by doing things according to the rules, the fishermen have gained great benefits.

"Father, you said that they can earn a hundred taels a year, build a house by the lake, have children, and live a peaceful and prosperous life. Tell me, why are they bad for the child? "Zhu Gaochi said without fear!

Yes, such good conditions, a fool will refuse.

Of course, it is not okay to go directly and no one believes it.

This requires communication in advance to win the trust of the people.

And these are exactly what Zhu Gaochi did in Jiangxi before.

Zhu Di was quite emotional, stretched out his hand to caress Zhu Gaochi's back, and exclaimed: "Boss, you are delicate and thoughtful. If it is really the benevolent monarch and holy lord in the future, my father is ashamed of himself! ”

Zhu Gaochi grinned, "Father, the child doesn't dare to take credit, but the child thinks that the imperial court has to deal with bandits in other places...... There is also the Tusi in the southwest, and it seems that the imperial court should be more detailed. Especially the people of Tusi, you need to know what they are worried about and what they want to get. Only in this way can we prescribe the right medicine. ”

Zhu Di nodded again and again, "You are very good, you have taught your father a lesson." ”

Xu Jingchang also smiled and said, "The minister also learned a lesson." ”
