Chapter 65: Plan Ahead

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again.

No business, no wealth, no work, no strength, no agriculture, no stability?

That's an interesting statement.

"This sentence was also taught to you by Shen Jiazi?"

"No, I figured it out myself!"

"Then tell me what you mean by that." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Literally." Zhu Jun said: "Merchants send goods from the south to the north, and strange goods can live, although there is a suspicion of speculation.

But that also comes with costs and risks.

It's like I do a lottery shop.

First of all, he shall take out ten thousand taels of silver.

If someone is lucky and wins the jackpot once, the minister will lose 10,000 taels.

In this morning's time, the bet was only seven or eight hundred taels! ”

"One morning, seven or eight hundred taels, are you still too little?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

"Is it a lot? I used to lose a cockfight for a thousand taels of silver! ”

"Are you still proud?" Zhu Yuanzhang's backhand was a slap, "Loser, I will fight cocks in the future and beat you to death!" ”

Zhu Jun touched his head and said aggrievedly: "So I gave the cockfight to my eldest nephew!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew about this matter, Zhu Yingying raised the fighting in the imperial garden, and lied to him that he would make up for his body during the New Year, but he didn't break it.

"If you dare to take our eldest grandson to a cockfight, we will hang you up and fight!"

"Got it, Dad!" Zhu Jun nodded, and then continued: "This is only the first day, and it won't exceed one thousand eight hundred taels at most today."

In the next two days, I will add some new lottery games, be conservative, and it is not a big problem to get two thousand taels of silver a day.

In a month, it is 60,000 taels of silver, and if you are conservative for a year, it will be 600,000 taels.

Excluding the cost of the lottery ticket, as well as the probability of winning, it is not a problem to make a profit of 400,000 a year. ”

One year, 400,000 taels?

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Daye's current annual grain tax, silk silk, converted into silver, is only more than 4 million taels (taking the Wanli Dynasty as an example, although Wanli is not good, but the tax is the peak of the Ming Dynasty, with a population of 60 million, and the tax is only 20 million taels).

A small lottery ticket with a net profit of 400,000 taels?

"Are you sure?"

"I just estimate that if it is run properly, it is not a dream to set up lottery points in state capitals across the country in the future, and to earn millions a year." Speaking of this, Zhu Jun pulled the topic back, "So Dad, although businessmen make money, as long as they don't bribe officials, make trouble, and endanger the people, the court can stay on the sidelines."

As for not working, it's even simpler.

Craftsmen can create farming tools that can improve the efficiency of planting, and not only that, but also create hard armor.

An indestructible weapon is the guarantee of victory in battle.

Agriculture is the line of defense to stabilize society, and no matter how chaotic the world is, as long as the people are well fed and warmly clothed, there will be no turmoil. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang put away his surprise and looked at Zhu Jun, before he offered a plan to 'work for relief', thinking that it was a mistake.

Looking at it now, it seems that his 'crazy son' has advantages that ordinary people do not have in some aspects.

For example, he is good at summarizing, observing, and some methods that can be understood at one point, but those who claim to be smart can't even think of it.

On the contrary, Zhu Jun, who is pure in mind and full of play, is more keen.

One million taels of silver, if you do it properly, wouldn't you be able to earn six or seven hundred thousand taels a year?

If it can be collected, it will not greatly relieve the pressure on the imperial court.

"You did it first!" Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately said with a straight face: "Don't talk big here!" ”

"I didn't say anything big!" Zhu Jun patted his chest and said, "Dad, you are optimistic, I guarantee that there is no problem!" ”

"Get up!" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Remember, let's allow you to mess around this time, if you make money, you must use it on the victims."

If you don't know how to use it, just give us the money and we'll help you! ”

it!

Lao Zhu is shameless enough!

A fool knows how to use silver, but he doesn't know how to use it?

"Dad, this is my business!"

"What's wrong with yours, what are you not given by Lao Tzu?" Zhu Yuanzhang was like a cat that had been stepped on by the tail, and he suddenly exploded, and his backhand was another slap.

It's just that this time, I didn't use any force, and I hit Zhu Jun like scratching.

At this time, a voice came from the stairs, and Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Jun: "What Lao Tzu just told you, no one is allowed to say, do you know?" ”

"Got it!" Zhu Jun was helpless.

"Also, you didn't go to Yingtianfu to catch people?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Aren't you busy making a bet with Master Song!"

"Bet bet, you know bet!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his voice and slapped it again.

This scene happened to be seen by Zhu Yingying, so frightened that the little guy hurriedly put the lottery ticket behind him, shrunk his neck, and swallowed his saliva, "Emperor, Grandpa Huang......"

"Grandson, how many bets did you buy?" Zhu Yuanzhang changed his fierce attitude and asked with a smile.

"Oh, I bought a hundred bets, anyway, if I don't win, it's for the victims, so it's okay to buy more!"

"It's still our eldest grandson who is benevolent, but you must remember, don't learn from your bastard sixth uncle, you know how to gamble all day long!"

Zhu Jun heard a sore tooth, his son was picked up, and his grandson was kissed, right?

"Got it, Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yingying nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang warned Zhu Jun two more words, and then left with Zhu Yingying, he had more important things.

However, when he walked to the staircase, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Tomorrow is the fifteenth, remember to come to the court!" ”

"Ahh Zhu Jun scratched his head, "Dad, what did I say?" ”

"Shut up and just put your ears on it!" Zhu Yuanzhang said a word, and left with Zhu Yingying.

Yang Xian glanced at Zhu Jun deeply before leaving.

In the afternoon, when the accounts were counted, there were a total of one thousand eight hundred and forty taels of silver.

It's similar to what Zhu Jun thought.

Although 10,000 taels of silver is attractive enough, it is not exciting enough.

He called Li Jiba over, "That scratch ticket must be made as soon as possible, and also, it must be guarded at night, I guess someone will make trouble!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

That night, Zhu Jun received the news that the lottery shop was almost on fire, but he made preparations in advance, and the flame was extinguished before it burned.

This is someone who doesn't want him to have a good time.

He thought about it, and he had to plan for himself in advance.

He looked at the list that Cai Wen got from there, and had an idea in his heart.

Immediately holding the candle and writing the book, that word, is a vigorous and powerful face.

When the ink dried, he called Li Jiba, "Put this into their mansion and make things clean!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Jiba took a few letters and disappeared into the darkness.

After doing this, Zhu Jun was tired and hit Hatche.

As the saying goes, a good man has three gangs, and he has to make good use of these people.

It was night, Feng Xiang was waiting, and Zhang Long was wiping the iron coupon given by the emperor.

Looking at the iron coupons that I had fought for, I felt indescribably satisfied.

But at this moment, the servant knocked on the door in a panic with an arrow tied to an envelope in his hand!
