On the eighth day of the lunar month, the players of the Iron Window Sect were brought to the Nanchan Temple next door to the Canglang Pavilion.

When everyone came to the front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, they saw that the firewood pile under the big iron pot in the courtyard was burning vigorously, and the Laba porridge in the pot was fragrant.

At this moment, just like that moment, everyone can't help but feel as if they are in a different world; It's like the past year, but it's just a dream.

"Your Highness has arrived at ......," the eunuch's chant pulled them back to reality.

His Royal Highness King Jiahai, King of Chu, who was half a head taller than last year, was still dressed in a blue dragon robe, wearing a mink fur warm hat, and appeared in front of everyone with steps that the six relatives did not recognize.

"Sinners come to Your Highness." The crowd fell prostrate to the ground. "Your Highness Chitose Chitose!"

"Get up." Zhu Zhen's attitude is much milder than last year. After everyone sat down carefully, he smiled and said, "Thinking that I invited you to drink Laba porridge last year, and this year it happens that we are all together again, so it's not good not to invite you to drink again." ”

"Your Highness Xie, I'm ashamed......" Everyone said to themselves when they heard this: "I didn't realize His Highness's kindness at the beginning, and I suffered a year's sin in vain." ”

"Your Highness can give us another chance to sit here, it's really a bodhisattva's heart." Their humble attitude this time is in stark contrast to the unruliness of the last time.

"Hahaha, knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great." Zhu Zhen laughed and said:

"Didn't the Buddha still say, 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground'? What's more, you are not extremely vicious, and your performance this year is also very hard, of course this king will give you another chance to drink porridge. ”

"Your Highness Xie...... everyone was grateful, of course they would not be stupid enough to think that the opportunity in His Highness's mouth was just to drink porridge.

"The villain must cherish this opportunity and will not disappoint His Highness again!" They scrambled to express their attitudes, eager to take out their hearts and show them to His Highness.

"Haha, okay, that's right." Zhu Zhen waved his hand happily and said, "This king wants to take you to get rich together, not to take you to the ditch." Why are you working against me? It doesn't make sense. ”

At this time, the monks put the boiled Laba porridge into a bowl and distributed it to the table.

"Come on, let's talk while we drink." Zhu Zhen smiled and picked up the porridge bowl, scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth. Not to mention, the Laba porridge boiled in this temple is the two flavors of the palace.

In fact, it is mainly because Boss Zhu is too frugal and always orders to cook porridge with all kinds of leftover old rice......

After everyone thanked them, they began to pick up the porridge bowl and drank it very cherished.

After a bowl of porridge, His Royal Highness took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and then continued: "Oh, by the way, there is still good news to tell you, just yesterday, the second batch of Nanyang city ships have returned to Liujiagang safely, and all the silk carried is sold out, plus the Nanyang treasures brought back, the profit must be more than ten times!" ”

"His Royal Highness is really the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, and Shen Wansan back then is not as good as His Highness!" The crowd hurriedly praised without saying anything:

"From now on, the maritime trade is in the hands of His Highness, and the wealth of the city is rolling!"

It's a lie to say that it's not red-eyed, but now no one cares about red-eyedness, and it matters if you pat yourself on the back.

"Hey, let you say this, as if this king wants to eat and monopolize it." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "This king does have this ability, but he can't do it." The wealth of the country and the poverty of the people are not the royal road. You have to make everyone make money, hello everyone, it's really good. ”

"Therefore, this king said at the beginning, the city port company welcomes everyone to get on board, we share profits and risks, just hope that everyone can make money. Then, everyone will work for the common people and pay more wages, so that they will all live a good life? This is called the big river with water and the small river full, which is the real royal road. ”

In the past, the big families would have heard it as a deaf ear. But everything that happened in Suzhou City this year made them have a deep understanding of His Highness's words.

Zhu Zhen said with a sigh and said, "But you don't appreciate it, and you still follow Lu Zhonghe to disagree with this king." This king had no choice, so he had to do it alone. ”

"We don't know how to lift, we are not human...... everyone shed tears of remorse.

"Now, the most difficult time has passed, and this king still has to return to his original intention and not let the city boss eat alone." Listening to His Royal Highness the King of Chu's words, he changed his mind and said:

"Therefore, from next year, the Municipal Department of Shipping will only be responsible for shipping, taxation and, most importantly, ensuring the safety of shipping routes. As for the cargo on board, it was the responsibility of the recruited maritime merchants. Again, everyone shares risks and profits. Get rich together, become bigger and stronger together! ”

"Wow......" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, His Highness's mind is indeed too broad.

At this time, they are willing to share the opportunity to make money, which is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Of course, they were willing to become maritime merchants, but when they thought that they were still prisoners, they knew that things must not be so simple.

"So, what are the conditions for becoming a maritime merchant?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"To become a maritime merchant, there are no conditions, and anyone can still get on board, as long as you can afford to buy a space." I heard His Royal Highness say aloud: "However, in order to maintain the brand of my Daming products, and to ensure everyone's profits, only certified goods can be on board." ”

"Certification?" Everyone keenly grasped this unfamiliar word, and knew that things were not so simple.

"That is, the exported goods must be inspected by authoritative institutions, which is to avoid the export of shoddy, counterfeit and shoddy goods, which damage the brand of our Celestial Empire." His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at his tool man, and Mr. Luo patiently explained:

"Silk products, for example. It must meet the specified size, weight, appearance, gloss, texture...... As well as through wear-resistant, fading and other tests, it can be regarded as a qualified export product. Of course, porcelain, tea, etc. also have their own inspection standards. ”

"And where is the authority?" Someone asked the point.

"Our silk in Suzhou must be inspected, certified and graded by the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau before it can be exported." Teacher Luo said. sighed lightly in his heart, there is no one who can play better than Cao Thief......

Everyone also sighed secretly, and the poor dagger saw that it belonged to yes.

Zhu He also showed a look of sudden realization, although he had guessed that His Royal Highness would make the food stamps linked to silk. Let them sell what they want and buy it back as they want.

But there is one thing he has not figured out - this year, all the big households in Suzhou have worked hard to expand their production capacity, and they are about to recruit weavers in the south of the Yangtze River, working in two shifts day and night, weaving the amount that can only be woven in the past few years.

With such a large amount, Suzhou can't digest it at all, and there is no need to digest it. Isn't the newly woven silk next year fragrant? Why use the silk produced last year for export?

At that time, Zhu He thought of two ways for His Royal Highness, one was to be cheaper and exchange it at a discount, but in this way, it would be a loss. The second is to make it mandatory that only by buying silk from the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau can you obtain the qualification for export. But that would be too ugly.

But I still underestimated His Highness, but I didn't expect him to solve this problem by lightly throwing out the word 'certification'.

It's so much smarter than yourself!

Admire, admire!
