Chapter 304: My mother is no longer kissing
"Boss."
Zhu Di stopped Zhu Gaochi, Da Zhuang was talking happily, spitting was flying, and was suddenly stopped by Zhu Di, still a little puzzled, "Father, something?" ”
Zhu Di looked at him and snorted: "The second and third have some industries, and the business is not small, but they are your brothers after all, and our royal family wants to set an example for the people of the world." ”
"Exemplar?"
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Father is kind and filial piety, brother and brother are respectful, and the heavenly family is really an example for the world, but it's just ...... Father, don't you want to know how much money the two of them have? The so-called brothers settle accounts clearly, which seems to be a matter of course. ”
Zhu Di was stunned, he knew that these two sons were rich, but he didn't know how much he had, so it's not bad to look at it...... Zhu Di looked at Xu Jingchang again, "I ask you, how much is the property of the second and third children worth, do you have a number in your heart?" ”
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there are no careful statistics on this minister's side, but the King of Han and the King of Zhao are definitely rich and rival countries, and the industry in their hands is earth-shattering and appalling. ”
Boy!
The financial resources of a vassal king have been used earth-shattering and appalling!
How much money do they really have?
"Boss, you go and send someone to call the second and third children. We're here to reconcile the accounts, and I'm wondering how much they're earning. ”
Zhu Gaochi agreed, Xu Jingchang got up, went to prepare tables and chairs, and prepared tea...... Busy inside and out.
It's just that between entering and leaving, he has already handed a message to his wife, and Huang Yunfang understands that at such a critical moment, there must be someone who can suppress the scene.
She quietly left the Xu Mansion, took a carriage, and went straight to the palace.
Huang Yunfang is regarded as the nephew and daughter-in-law appointed by Empress Xu, and with the jade plate in her hand to enter the palace, it is easy to see Empress Xu.
"Come here."
Queen Xu took Huang Yunfang's hand, looked at it carefully, looked at her expression, and touched her waist again, which was almost the same as her mother looking at her daughter.
"We women, giving birth once is to walk through the ghost gate. If you give birth to a few in a row, it is easy to lose money, and the root of my disease is when I gave birth to the third child...... I see that you have recovered well for more than a year, and your complexion and body have recovered. One is young, and the other is that my nephew is also a person who knows pain and heat. ”
Huang Yunfang blushed shyly, "Guogong is naturally good. But she was complaining in her heart, it would be better if she didn't toss and fight crickets with her children.
After chatting for a few words, Huang Yunfang said, "Your Majesty wants to ask about the properties of King Han and King Zhao...... Would you like to go and have a look? ”
How shrewd Queen Xu is, she said in an instant: "It's my good nephew's idea, right?" ”
Huang Yunfang said: "The prince also means this. ”
Empress Xu was stunned, and finally nodded, this matter involved the three children, "Okay, I'll go over now." ”
Empress Xu said again: "You came in a carriage, right?" ”
Huang Yunfang nodded.
"Okay, I'll take a carriage with you, no need to toss."
In this way, Empress Xu hurriedly came to the Dingguo Mansion.
Xu Jingchang has already brought King Han and King Zhao over.
The two of them trembled, and they didn't know why.
Zhu Di groaned: "Second, third, your eldest brother said that you have a lot of talents under him, and he wants you to contribute to the court, what do you think?" ”
Han King Zhu Gaochu was angry in his heart, and immediately looked at Zhu Gaochi, who was already complaining.
"Father, the child's little business is just barely maintained, and it's just hard work. I still hope that my father will be aware of it, don't believe the nonsense! ”
Zhu Gaosui raised his head and snorted at Zhu Gaochi: "Big brother, we are all the same milk, why do you have to be like this?" ”
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu also said in a deep voice: "What the boss said also makes sense, but the princess's family has added 3,000 pieces of looms, should it also be taken out?" ”
Zhu Gaochi was calm, "Second and third, don't be angry, I don't want anything from you...... I just want us to get together and calculate carefully what to do to better benefit the country and the people. Even if you owe something for the time being, please rest assured that there will be a generous compensation. ”
He turned his head and said, "Look, my cousin is here, can he trap you?" ”
Xu Jingchang?
What kind of fart this kid is holding back, no one knows!
Zhu Gaoxu snorted: "Since this is the case, then please tell Dingguo Gong how to concoct us?" ”
Xu Jingchang waved his hand, "I didn't mean that, don't misunderstand...... I've just done the preliminary calculation, last year, Hanwang's money bank accumulated more than 100,000 yuan in loans, right? ”
When this number came out, Zhu Di's eyes widened with fright.
Although the value of the treasure money cannot be compared with silver, it is 100,000 yuan, which is converted into tens of millions of taels, which is almost comparable to the income of the treasury.
With such a large sum of money, how much impact will it have, Zhu Di really can't be calm?
"Second brother, is Xu Jingchang right?"
Zhu Gaoxu blinked his eyes, feeling quite helpless.
He shouldn't have accepted Xu Jingchang's funding in the first place, and as a result, Xu Jingchang knew his details better than him.
"Perhaps, the child didn't figure it out." Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Father, the child has always borrowed at a low interest rate of 15%. And most of them were lent to the people in the cities, to the farmers in the countryside, and to many small workshops. In addition, last year, the child also forgave 5 million yuan of loans...... The children did things that benefited the country and the people, and they did not take too much greed and occupation, forcing the people to go bankrupt. ”
Zhu Laosan also immediately said: "That's right, father, I will testify to the second brother...... Now in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi, the people use the second brother's loan and do not have to be exploited by the local tyrants, which is the merit of the second brother. So much money also shows how much money did the local powerful landlords and gentry make? They knock on the bones and suck the marrow, no wonder they work hard, the people are always struggling to make a living, there is such a group of people, how to improve the people's livelihood? ”
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "King Han, King Zhao, you are right, I didn't say these things, I just discussed the total amount of loans, don't worry, let's talk slowly." ”
The two also wanted to talk slowly, but they found that Zhu Di's eyes were already glowing...... At the beginning, Beiping doubled Zhu Di's income, and Zhu Di did not hesitate to promote the reform of Beiping.
Now that it's such a big sum of money, it's no wonder that Zhu Laosi is not moved!
But in the face of Xu Jingchang, the bastard, the two of them had no way at all.
"Your Majesty, this is a loan...... There is also silk, according to the accounting of the city department, the workshop under the name of the king of Han sold 1.5 million pieces of silk and 800,000 pieces of fine cloth last year...... Nanzhili, Zhejiang, there are almost 500,000 peasant households, and they are doing things for the Han King. There are 200,000 weavers. All of this is right, right? ”
Zhu Gaoxu's heart chuckled, "Cousin, I haven't calculated, I can't answer your words." ”
"Don't worry, King Han can calculate slowly...... Actually, I'm still conservative, after all, it's only the external part. Your internal business is no smaller than your external business. ”
Zhu Gaoxu was really anxious this time, "I have never come to business, and the taxes that should be paid every year are not a lot, this is a well-documented thing, and I am worthy of the laws of heaven and the country." ”
This gambler swears, but no matter how much he argues, it can't change the fact that he is rich and rivals.
Frankly speaking, Zhu Gaoxu at this moment, although he does not have three guards in the palace and no fiefdom...... But his money is the best in the world, and his hands and feet are stretched everywhere.
The wealth is amazing, the influence is huge, and the whole behemoth is complete.
To manage such a large industry, you need a larger team.
In all fairness, the management under Zhu Gaoxu is far superior to that of any ministry, even if it is Xu Jingchang's general administration, it is far inferior.
"The matter of King Han is here first, and there are still some major items to be counted slowly. Let's talk about King Zhao's again...... As far as I know, there are more than 3,000 literati who have been contributing to Di Bao for a long time. There are thousands of expatriate journalists, right? ”
Zhu Gaosui looked at Xu Jingchang and roared urgently: "What do you mean? I also have a clear conscience, a few days ago, my father and the emperor visited everywhere, all of which were helped by our newspaper, and we did our best for national affairs...... Father, the child really has no public and private use! ”
Zhu Di was silent, the power of the two sons has swelled to this point, which is a problem in itself, this is no longer a matter that threatens the position of the eldest prince, but affects the imperial court.
Although he can suppress it and is not worried that his two sons will rebel, they already have such a great strength, they must deal with it, otherwise something big will happen.
Just then, suddenly, the door was pushed open.
Don't ask, dare to break in so directly, except for Queen Xu, there is no second one.
Seeing his mother, Zhu Gaosui seems to be a wronged baby, and he can be regarded as seeing someone who can call the shots.
"Queen Mother!"
This shout was full of grievances, but Queen Xu didn't have much sympathy, but glared at him.
"Third child, your cousin just counted these accounts...... How did I hear that you have a lot of properties outside the treasure gate, and there are more than 1,000 yards just for rent? ”
Zhu Gaosui was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, "Queen Mother, this is all rumors, there are never so many, no." ”
At this time, Xu Jingchang smiled, "I testify to King Zhao, there are really not more than 1,000 sets, at most more than 870 sets, and another 500 sets are under construction, and they will not be delivered until the end of the year." ”
Zhu Gaosui gritted his teeth when he heard this, "Cousin, don't harm me, where did I get so much industry?" ”
"Yes, it's true that there aren't so many, that is, a fleet of hundreds of ships, or a joint venture with King Qi, you only account for seventy percent!"
It's just seventy percent!
Even the uncle is not welcome.
Zhu Di was furious, "You two rebels, kneel down for me!" ”
At this time, Queen Xu glared at Zhu Di, "No need to kneel...... The money that other people's children earn by their ability is justified. ”
It's really my own mother!
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were about to kneel down and kowtow, but they heard Queen Xu smile and say: "But then again, the tree is a big move, the two of you control so many industries, you should also release it and let the big guys get rich together, right?" ”
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Empress Mingjian...... The Department of General Administration is studying the legislation on monopoly, and I hope that the two princes can cooperate in advance, otherwise under the national law, I am afraid that it will be damaged and ruin our harmony. ”
