Before the Northern Expedition army left, there were a few more changes in the temple, but at this time, Jiang Xinghuo didn't pay much attention to these things.

After a three-month window period, he won the Taixue Society, and successfully won the dominance of the Jiashenke Imperial Examination, and the goals that the Fa-changers needed to achieve were basically all achieved.

Jiang Xinghuo's focus this year is on domestic and foreign trade, point-to-point business, and tax guards going to the countryside.

"National teacher."

"Enter."

Jiang Xinghuo hung his wrist, stopped the pen in his hand, and raised his head to look at the comer.

Guanglu Temple is high-minded, the former official of the Tingzhou Mansion, according to the examination method, he was pulled up with one hand.

Guanglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty set up one person in Guanglu Temple, from three products; Shaoqing two, is five products; Temple Cheng two, from the six products. However, in terms of political practice, Shaoqing and Sicheng often lack personnel, and the institutions under them have a book hall, a priest's department, a pastoral bureau, and a treasury.

The pusher is the second official of each prefecture, and the pusher of Beijing Shuntianfu and Nanjing Yingtianfu is from the sixth grade, and the pusher of other prefectures is the seventh grade, so the high-ranking official rank is half a step up, but considering that it is transferred from the local to the center, it can basically be regarded as a promotion of the first order.

Gao Zhisheng's rich state, a few strands of beard under his chin are also thoughtful, with a somewhat restrained smile on his face, and a stack of documents in the crook of his arm, that is, he speaks with a little accent, which is unavoidable, although Daming has an official dialect, but the popularity is obviously not comparable with the Mandarin of later generations.

"The national teacher is cold and fragrant, I don't know what kind of incense is used?"

Jiang Xinghuo put down the brush and motioned for him to sit down, then got up and poured two cups of tea from the tightly sealed hot pot, and replied while taking the tea.

"Junzi Zhai's new 'Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum' series of perfumes, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard it, but it's a pity that I'm shy in my pocket"

Junzi Zhai, the name of the perfume workshop, currently only has a few stores in Nanjing, responsible for market sales.

As a luxury brand specifically aimed at the ancient scholar group, Junzizhai's advertising slogan is very simple and rude -

[A gentleman is like an orchid, lonely and cold]

The packaging is good, the price is high, and the store service is good, and the corresponding is that its products are very expensive.

If the fertilizer workshop and glass workshop still have some ingredients that benefit the people, then perfume is a consumer product that is not necessary for the people's life, and it is these rich people in Daming who are slaughtered, so in terms of pricing, Jiang Xinghuo did not hesitate at all.

A small bottle of perfume usually starts with hundreds of copper coins.

However, although it is very expensive, this kind of packaging and publicity style is very much a luxury product with the legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties, but it is very popular with scholars, who pursue a famous but male-oriented perfume, and even unexpectedly in the female market, there are also customer groups.

In this era, rouge gouache is usually more strong, and the 'Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum' series of perfumes are elegant and cold, so there are many women in the boudoir who don't like strong ones, and they will also buy them to try.

"Sniff."

Jiang Xinghuo handed over the perfume bottle.

Gao Zhi took the perfume bottle, leaned close to the tip of his nose and sniffed, his face showed an intoxicated look, and after a moment he exclaimed:

"Baume & Mercier Ya plays."

Jiang Xinghuo nodded, and then took out a long well-packaged perfume box from the drawer on the other side of the table, which contained four boxes of 'Meilan Zhuju' perfumes, and it would not be a problem to save a little and use it for a year or two.

"Take it."

Jiang Xinghuo didn't tell him that this thing was stuffed with a whole drawer in his drawer.

"This gift is too valuable."

Jiang Xinghuo glanced at the documents brought by Gao Zhi and said.

"It doesn't matter, it was originally sent from there, and besides, now that I come to Beijing to be an official, I have poetry and books in my belly, and when I go out to socialize, I should also have some foil objects, so as not to be looked down upon."

This is true, although this kind of luxury, under the Lao Zhu's regulations, does not seem to be able to be purchased by officials, but as soon as he becomes an official, his hometown will have a lot of refuge in the industry, not to mention that the income of Beijing officials is actually not the income in Beijing, but the various "respects" of foreign officials who walk around during the New Year's holidays, such as ice respect, charcoal respect, etc., so perfume has become a trend among Beijing officials for a while, and no one has been arrested for this, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not care.

And since this thing is related to Jiang Xinghuo, and Jiang Xinghuo personally gave it to him, let alone any greedy and bribe-taking, therefore, Gao Zhi said with a smile: "Thank you to the national teacher, now people do look at the dress, even among the officials, it is inevitable." ”

Although Gao Zhi's words are simple, but they are quite reasonable, after all, although every literati wants others to praise him for his brilliant writing and open-mindedness, but in a real private social occasion, if it is not a particularly clear hierarchy, the first thing you can see must be the clothes and appearances and accessories.

For the bigwigs, it must be better to be low-key and simple, their faces and the pomp and circumstance of hugging each other are the best expression, but for middle and lower-level officials, this is by no means the case.

At this time, Gao Zhi handed over the documents in his hand in a timely manner.

Before Jiang Xinghuo asked "Ming Pao" to arrange a special interview for him, which is a very face-revealing thing for a middle- and lower-level official like Gao Zhi, after all, in Nanjing City, there is no shortage of officials like him who are six or seven grades, exaggeration to say, ten leaves fall from a tree, and one can hit a green-robed official.

And Gao Zhi was transferred to the capital from other places, and he did not have any background, only in the study of "Xunzi", he was considered to have a unique specialty, so he naturally had to seize the time to take advantage of Jiang Xinghuo's free time to come to report his work and hold his thighs firmly.

Jiang Xinghuo took it and took a look.

"The system of the holy king is also: when the grass and trees are prosperous and fruitful, the axe will not enter the mountains and forests, will not die young, and will not stop growing; When turtles, turtles, and loaches are pregnant, the reckless poison does not enter the water, does not give birth to it, and does not stop its growth; Spring ploughing, summer ploughing, autumn harvest, and winter storage do not lose time, so the five grains are endless and the people have surplus food; The pond, the deep marsh, and the river are forbidden at the same time, so there are many fish and turtles and the people have a surplus; It is not a time to cut down and grow, so the mountains and forests are not young and the people have surplus materials.

The use of the holy king is also: to look up at the heavens, to go down to the earth, to fill the heavens and the earth, to add to all things, small and clear, short and long, narrow and wide, the gods are broad and so broad. Therefore, it is said: One and one are called saints for others. ”

There are dense annotations and expansions behind it, which are obviously intentional.

"Yes, the study of the Holy King is subtle and profound, and your research is very insightful."

In this era, because Cheng Zhu Lixue inherited the theoretical basis of Mencius, therefore, most of the scholars, are to study the way of Confucius and Mencius, but there is no mention of the way of "Confucius Xun", Xunzi and his two Legalist apprentices, has always been despised by Cheng Zhu Lixue, although Xunzi is unique among the pre-Qin thinkers, but in the early Ming Dynasty, few people have studied, Gao Zhi is a leader in the study of Xunzi's theory.

Originally, this kind of research was a hobby, but now with the change of thinking in the imperial court, the big bloodsucker accepted Jiang Xinghuo's suggestion, indulged in the "Holy King" doctrine, and used it to make another correction to his own usurpation of the king.

"What about Daming Administrative School, in the second half of the second year of Yongle, I plan to open a special rotation class, last year was about clean government, and this year I plan to talk about Xunzi's Shengwang Learning, so that all the princes of the temple can also study hard, and then I will talk to Huang Ziwei and transfer you to lecture for a while."

Daming Administrative School stipulates that there are two kinds of rotation training, one is the rotation training of the business class, and the other is the rotation training of the special class.

Needless to say, business rotation training, such as the household department, that is, the rotation training related to special business such as four-legged account and banking, and the special rotation training basically belongs to spiritual education.

If you ask if it is useful, if you only look at the feedback from the first year of Yongle, the role of business rotation training is not big but not small, how much can you learn something to go back, but the role of thematic rotation training can only be said to be better than nothing.

But from a long-term perspective, thematic rotation training is definitely necessary, which is the same as the old lady telling you to get up and go to school, calling day after day, some people can form a biological clock, sometimes it's time, the old lady doesn't call herself to get up.

The business rotation training, usually can only contact a certain ministry or a separate system of officials, special rotation training, can contact a relatively large number of officials, and there are many high-ranking officials, therefore, as a lecturer to give lectures to these senior officials, the benefits can be intangible, not just the Ming Administrative School to open the class remuneration.

As for the job

This Ming Dynasty has no Jiang Xinghuo, and now the power of the Fa Reform School has not yet been completely strengthened, and all kinds of reform measures have not yet been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so this temple may turn a little wrong, but without Gaozhi, Guanglu Temple can turn how it should be turned, not to mention, Huang Ziwei, the secretary of Guanglu Temple, is the former prefect of Songjiang, Jiang Xinghuo's hardcore cronies, and he will not disagree with the secondment.

In this way, the work of Gaozhi in the second half of the year, in fact, it is very hopeful, today's trip has actually been booked for a long time, but it is finally not in vain, at least not to eat and wait for death in the position of Guanglu Temple, literally eat and wait for death, Guanglu Temple is responsible for purchasing sacrifices, preparing for the palace, diplomatic banquets, countless small meetings a year, one, two and three leaders have to take turns to try before the banquet, it belongs to the responsibility, at the beginning it was very fresh, the delicacies of the mountains and seas were made casually, but it was really greasy and disgusting to eat too much.

In short, in this era, it is not easy for a petty official like Gao Zhi to get such an opportunity!

"Thank you, the national teacher."

Gao Zhi said respectfully, not daring to be proud.

"Well, choosing people to do things, that's putting them in the right place."

Jiang Xinghuo smiled and encouraged him, and then changed his words:

"But you can't relax, not only to prepare your schoolwork as soon as possible, but also to study hard and combine Xunzi's thoughts with everything now."

"Please rest assured."

Gao Zhi understands that there are indeed many Xunzi thoughts that are very suitable for reform of the law, such as "Heaven is constant", and "the destiny of heaven is used" and so on.

"Okay, here's a booklet, you can take it back and read it slowly."

After Jiang Xinghuo finished speaking, he handed over the booklet on the side.

Gao Zhi took it and hurriedly flipped through it, and immediately stood up excitedly and saluted: "Thank you for your appreciation!" ”

The content in this is some of Jiang Xinghuo's own reading notes when he read "Xunzi", as well as the context of the research, since it can be given to him, it is obviously giving him a way, let him go down this road, and better combine the content of Xunzi's thinking and change with the change.

In fact, as the teacher of Han Fei and Li Si, Xunzi's thoughts are naturally in line with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty's various official rectification and rule of law.

Gao Zhi did not expect that he not only received the approval of Jiang Guoshi, and could go to the Daming School of Administration to give lectures, but also was guided by exceptions, with a long-term task, it is foreseeable that on the road of career development in the future, he will definitely take fewer detours, and even make steady progress.

After sending away Gao Zhi, Jiang Xinghuo stretched his waist and leaned on the back of the chair contentedly, intending to close his eyes and rest for a while.

But even if it is the so-called rest, Jiang Xinghuo's mind at this time is full of things.

The mess flashed by, and if I didn't write it down, I was afraid that I would forget it.

Jiang Xinghuo opened his eyes and picked up the pen and began to plan his work.

Overseas, with the gradual development of trade with Japan and North Korea, Ningbo Port has become the most important commercial port, Ryukyu side, also have to put some attention, Ryukyu is a small country is true, the interior is also a three-legged state, but Ryukyu to the Ming attitude is very friendly and obedient, this place, not only is the Ming Dynasty not directly included in the rule, but also to have a military base, here can directly threaten the southern coast of Japan.

"It just so happens that there are a few Ryukyu students in Guozijian."

The main military targets of the Ming were the Sai kings in Qin and Jin, the Tatars in the north, and the Jurchens in Liaodong, so Japan was not the highest priority, and even if these immediate or potential threats to the north were resolved, the Ming would still face the risk of invasion by the Timurid Empire.

The fortress and the raw materials and craftsmen who make cement have been sent to Gansu, and the actual control area of the Ming Dynasty has not reached the traditional "Western Regions" category, and further to the northwest, it is the territory of Don't lose eight miles.

This is because a few decades ago, that is, shortly before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongol Chagatai Khanate that ruled Central Asia was divided into two parts, east and west, and the Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was mainly active in the land of Beshi Bali (Bali is Turkic, meaning "city"), and the Ming records called it the country of Beshi Bali, the first version of the globe made by Jiang Xinghuo is actually somewhat erroneous here, and Beshi Bali was renamed "Yili Lili" or "Yili Bali" until the sixteenth year of Yongle, and became the Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. Then the Ju clan moved west to the Yili River Valley to get its name, but those who have seen the globe only think that it is a transliteration problem, but no one is really careful enough to detect Jiang Xinghuo's mistakes.

And when the crooked thought died, its descendants did not go down to each other, and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was divided, one of the descendants still used the name of Yili to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the other branch took Turpan as the center to stand up as the Khan to compete with the Ming Dynasty, and when Jiang Xinghuo was in the first year of Chenghua in his previous life, the number of tributes and the number of people in the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty were too many (too many wool), and the restrictions were also made once every three or five years, and no more than ten people at a time, and then the tributary exchanges between the two countries gradually became scarce, and later a power of Turpan expanded, The Eastern Chagatai Khanate was unified, and the Yili Shori was never recorded again.

Of course, whether it is Beishi Bali or Yili Bali, Yili Jiangli, their name to the Mongols, in fact, is the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Hongwu twenty-four years, the Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate sent an envoy to pay tribute to Zhu Yuanzhang, which was the beginning of formal contact with the Ming Dynasty, and now the exchanges between the two sides have been more than ten years, and it is a nominal vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but because of the military pressure in the face of the Timurid Khanate, there are also forces in the country that tend to Timur. However, on the whole, the forces against Timur were dominant, and this was because of the grievances between Timur and the Chagatai Khanate.

Regardless of whether Timur, the old lame, would die violently on the way to the Ming expedition as in history, the Ming Dynasty was prepared in advance, whether it was to build a fortress group in the Hexi Corridor in Gansu to strengthen the defense, or to clean up the King of Qin and King Jin in advance, it was all in preparation for a full-scale war that might break out with Timur.

As the world's first power, the Ming Dynasty could never pin peace on the violent death of Timur, so even if it invested various resources, it was necessary to build the northwest defense line.

As for whether it can be fought, it is best if it can't be fought, Daming is not afraid of spending money in vain, and when the fight starts, there is also a time to gradually resist along the Hexi Corridor while carrying out mobilization and training of field troops throughout the country, isn't it?

Therefore, the layout in the Ryukyus is considered to be an idle chess piece, and even if the effect appears, optimistically speaking, it will be a few years later.

This year is the second year of Yongle, and it can be completed this year by dealing with the Qin and Jin feudatories, the northern expedition to the grassland, and the western conquest of the Jurchens.

According to the historical line of Jiang Xinghuo's previous life, after the news of Timur's expedition reached the center of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di ordered Song Sheng, the chief soldier of Gansu, and He Fu, the chief soldier of Ningxia, to mobilize and strengthen the garrison. The war against the Ming Dynasty could no longer be continued, and the troops could only be withdrawn. Subsequently, within the Timurid Empire, his four sons and many grandsons began a power struggle, and no one planned to use troops against the Ming Dynasty anymore.

However, the difference with the Golden Family is that the bloodline of the Golden Family can be said to be full of talents, but although the descendants of Timur are also brave and good at fighting, there are no characters like Meng Ge, Tuolei, and Kublai Khan who can be called the pride of the steppe, and after Timur died, his huge Timurid empire also fell apart.

Daming still has a year to integrate internally and eliminate external troubles.

Even if the historical line was too far away because of the Timurid Empire, it was not interfered with by Jiang Xinghuo, and the matter of Timur's Eastern Crusade was still the first goal of the Ming Dynasty's strategy.

Therefore, the matter of the cross-sea expedition, counting the complicated preparations in the early stage, has to be delayed until Yongle for four or five years.

But these military matters don't need Jiang Xinghuo to worry about, so many generals in the Ming Dynasty who have experienced the training of the Battle of Jingjing, even if Zhu Di does not go on his own, it will not be a problem to defend and counterattack Timur.

As long as the main force of the Ming army assembles well in Guanzhong, hoards good supplies, and has rich experience in fighting large battles and the blessing of advanced firearms, the certainty of victory is still quite large.

The focus of Jiang Xinghuo's work is still on domestic economic construction and various reforms involving grassroots systems.

Writing and drawing on paper, Jiang Xinghuo felt more and more that he should go to the grassroots level.

Mainly in several aspects, the first is the ideological aspect, although through various reports, and the description of the relevant Confucianism, Jiang Xinghuo can understand the current ideological dynamics of Shilin, in addition to the new thought and the aftermath of the Taixue Society, now the "Imperial System" Tuogu reform, sorting out the ancient literature school and the modern literature school, the diversion of history and so on, have gradually become a hot topic in the future.

But this kind of thing, others say that on the one hand, go to the grassroots to listen, and on the other hand, what others say is not necessarily to deliberately deceive you, but since it is said from the mouth of the person, it must have his own position, therefore, it is necessary to go below to understand it personally, otherwise sitting in the office for a long time will easily cause an information cocoon.

The second is the economic aspect, the implementation of the four-legged account, the expansion of the bank-money system, and the current situation of the return of treasure money, all of which Jiang Xinghuo should pay attention to personally.

Third, it is agriculture, agriculture includes not only the actual distribution and explanation of the pilot areas of agricultural books, but also the things that need to be corrected in use, and then the different effects of crop rotation and intercropping, which all need to be investigated on the spot.

Qingzhang Tianmu, literally is certainly not an adjustment to the existing land relationship, just re-measure and then redraw the "Fish Scale Book", but the actual situation, is not so simple, the Ming Dynasty from the founding of Hongwu to now more than 30 years, the grassroots land, not only have many changes, but also a lot of cats, great resistance, but want to let the tax guards collect agricultural taxes well, not clear acres of acres is definitely not good.

Even if the opposition of the gentry and landlords is very loud, this matter must be pushed hard, the long pain is better than the short pain, in Jiang Xinghuo's previous life of the Ming Dynasty, Qingzhang Tianmu This kind of thing, many capable ministers and ministers have carried it out, not that they can't push it hard, they are afraid of delay, as long as the determination of the center is big enough and the attitude is resolute enough, it will definitely be able to do this.

After all, although Qingzhang Tianmu will make the gentry landlords lose some of their interests, this is just cutting meat, and it will not force the gentry landlords to the point of breaking their muscles and bones.

Of course, this is in the case that the "gentry pay for grain" has not yet decided to be implemented, if the implementation of the "gentry for one food" policy of the big killer level, will it cause a violent backlash, it is not easy to say, after all, the repainting of the "Fish Scale Book" by the Qing Dynasty is a routine matter of the imperial court, and the "gentry pay for food" is really hurtful

But no matter what, the reform is coming step by step, and it is time to implement the policy of "gentry and grain payment" after the first day of the new year, but not the fifteenth year.

Jiang Xinghuo is not in a hurry about this, anyway, he has a long time, it is better to slow down, so as not to take too big a step and pull his pants, anyway, now the dilemma of public opinion of changing the law has been basically solved, after the unification of thinking from top to bottom, things in all aspects have gradually unfolded, and results have been seen, and then continue to cultivate officials who benefit from the change, as well as businessmen, factory owners, workers, citizens and other emerging social classes have also grown, so it is foreseeable that in more than ten or twenty years, even if Jiang Xinghuo really has three longs and two shorts, The change of vested interests has been formed, and it is no longer possible to be interrupted by any force.

In fact, even in the vigorous Jialong Wanda reform, Zhang Juzheng's new policy was only carried out for ten years, and the impact on all aspects of Ming society was very far-reaching.

Therefore, as long as the general trend has been achieved, then even if the emperor is not pleasing to the eye, these policies that benefit the country and the people will still be implemented.

Fourth, it is the progress of industry, heavy industry and monopoly commodities, in fact, there is no need to see, because I just went not long ago, mainly the progress of the cotton textile industry in Jiangnan, Jiang Xinghuo has been busy with various disputes between the DPRK and China for more than a year, and has never had time to return to Jiangnan.

The fifth is business, if there is time, and since it is not far away, then Jiang Xinghuo still wants to go to Zhejiang to see the implementation of these things in point-to-point business and Ningbo City.

In short, there are a lot of things to do, but if you really want to go down to the grassroots level, it is actually a matter of two places and five aspects, looking at economic and ideological things in the capital, and looking at the progress of agriculture, land, light industry, and commerce in Jiangnan and Zhejiang, that is, in the Shanghai-Hangzhou region.

"Help me go to Honglu Temple and call Xie Jin, and let him go out with me."

Jiang Xinghuo summoned Guo Jin and asked him to go to Honglu Temple.

"When you're done, go straight home, I'll check you for today's duty record first."

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Guo Jin was not only overjoyed, but also a worker, even if he was a Beijing official, he had to work overtime when he had something, and he was looking forward to being on duty on time when he was fine.

And this was earlier than the time when he was on duty, so the slightest trace of undetectable and instinctive resentment in his stomach disappeared without a trace.

——————

At this time, in the Hu mansion not far away, Hu Jichen held a basin of hot water, took a wet cotton towel, personally scrubbed his son, and sprayed perfume according to the "Instructions for Use" that came with the box of Junzi Zhai.

It is not easy to say that Lao Hu is not easy, according to the later AD era, Lao Hu was born in 1336 AD, one year younger than Yao Guangxiao, and the same age as Yuan Hui.

Life is rare for seventy years, maybe one day if you say no, and Hu Jichen's experience this year is even more magical, for ordinary people, there is such a huge gap, I am afraid that my heart will collapse a long time ago, but Lao Hu does not, Lao Hu is very strong.

This stems from Hu Jichen's life experience.

Hu Jichen was born in a local wealthy family in Vietnam, his ancestors were high-ranking officials and important ministers of the Chen Dynasty in Vietnam, and he successively had two aunts who became queens, both of whom were married to the fifth emperor of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Mingzong Chen Yi, who were known as Empress Mingci and Empress Dian Ci in history; Empress Mingci was the biological mother of the sixth emperor Chen Xianzong Chen Wang, the eighth emperor Chen Yizong Chen Xuan, and Empress Mingci was the biological mother of the ninth emperor Chen Ruizong Chen Cao.

Therefore, Hu Jichen is a relative of the Chen Dynasty who is a serious child, or a senior relative.

In addition to his origin, Lao Hu himself is also angry, not only has outstanding ability when governing the local area, has outstanding political wisdom, but is also a famous Confucian master and great poet of Annan Kingdom, author of "Ming Dao Shu", "Chinese Poetry" and other Confucian and poetic works. In addition to Wenzhi, Lao Hu Wugong is also very good, and in his military career, he has an outstanding record of resisting the peak Zhancheng army under the leadership of Ji Peng'e, and it can be said that he is a figure with both civil and military skills.

In the end, he supported the young Chen Shaodi Chen An as the emperor, such a trick was made for the civil and military officials, the purpose was to tell the civil and military officials that he was the actual ruler of the Chen Dynasty, and even the emperor was abolished by him.

Four years ago, Lao Hu abolished Emperor Chen Shaodi, and ascended the throne by himself, according to the political tradition of Annan, the change of dynasty is based on the name of the royal family, not by the name of the country, so the history of Annan, from the Chen Dynasty, changed to the Hu Dynasty, the old Hu Nian was called Shengyuan, and soon passed the throne to Hu Hancang, the second son of the Chen Dynasty, and he became the emperor, but unfortunately with the Ming Dynasty's southern expedition to Annam, he became a prisoner of the Taishang Dynasty for a total of two years.

Throughout Lao Hu's life, he has a significant characteristic, that is, he can endure.

You must know that Jiang Xinghuo's goal is to send away the three emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and Lao Hu really sent away the six emperors of the Chen Dynasty

Decades of suppression and exclusion have been endured, what kind of forbearance and psychological quality is this?

In addition, he has read a lot of history books, is well versed in the survival of the king of the dead country in Chinese history, and has his own set of Confucian spiritual cultivation methods.

Therefore, although the gap was very large, Hu Jichen, who was captured and came to Daming, quickly adjusted his mentality.

"The year is cold, and then the theme of knowing the pine and cypress and then withering is also Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, although it is good, if there are pines and cypresses, it will be even better."

Hu Yuancheng soaked in the cannon casting for a long time, and there was a bunch of gunpowder smell on his body, and after his old father cleaned it himself, he sprayed perfume with the theme of "repairing bamboo", and suddenly felt refreshed.

"Confucius's words are a metaphor for a gentleman who has tenacity like a pine and cypress, can endure hardships and suffering, and is also an encouragement to you, my father and son."

"It's not a hardship, is it?"

Hu Yuancheng leaned back his neck, stretched the muscles on his shoulders again, and said.

Hu Jichen changed into a cotton towel again, looked at the dirty water in the copper basin, and shook his head helplessly.

As the eldest son, everything is good, and the best thing is that he really does a line of love!

"Can you have a little of the consciousness of a dead country?"

"I think it's good now."

Look at Xiaohu, why are other ministers marginalized, and he can achieve the achievement of "being a great minister in two countries"? That's the professional attitude!

Seeing that his eldest son didn't need to feed him chicken soup, Hu Jichen also put his mind at ease, weighed the cotton towel in his hand, and asked: "Actually, for my father, which cannons you drum up are important, but they are really not as important as this fluttering cotton towel, do you know how much this cotton towel costs?" ”

Hu Yuancheng glanced at the cotton towel that was as white as snow, and couldn't answer the old father's question.

Cotton towels are much softer and more comfortable to use than linen towels.

So Hu Yuancheng thought for a while and said, "Why do you have to get ten cents?" ”

Hu Jichen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and only said, "That cost ten cents?" One piece of five cents, and one pack of thirteen pieces (three). ”

Hu Yuancheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Then I'm afraid no one uses burlap towels." ”

"That's right."

Hu Jichen wiped his son's back again, folded the towel at his wrist, and said: "You soak in the iron yard all day long, how do you know that this little cotton towel is now passing through Japan, Korea, Ryukyu, and even Annam, Champong, and Luzon, which is cheap and easy to use. ”

"Can you make money?"

Hu Yuancheng is not so sensitive to economic figures, and at this time he has not realized what the concept of small profits and quick turnover is, and Hu Jichen is not sensitive to this aspect of the economy. Well, as long as one of the father and son can understand the macro economy, Dayu's finances will not be played by them to bankruptcy.

But after experiencing Jiang Xinghuo's dimensionality reduction blow, Hu Jichen has a new understanding of the way of economy, although it is very shallow, but he has finally entered the door, and he is not a layman who has hit his head full of bags.

Hu Jichen replied: "Of course it is to make money, a cotton towel is estimated to have a spread of two or three cents, a year to sell out, I am afraid that it will sell millions of pieces, how much do you calculate this?" ”

According to the price of 1,000 copper coins = 1 tael of silver, it is a net profit of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Don't be too little, on the one hand, the price of silver in the early Ming Dynasty was already very strong, on the other hand, this is only a commodity of "cotton towels", cotton fabrics can be more, and generally the profits are much higher than cotton towels.

Hu Yuancheng calculated this, and then looked at the perfume at hand, and he was really smacked at the earning power of these commodities of Daming.

And just when the father and son were discussing, at this time, Hu Hancang also came back from the Guozijian in a hurry.

(End of chapter)
