Chapter 156: Zhu Qiyu, who is addicted to vegetables and loves to pretend!
Fang Ying is like sitting on pins and needles.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "Do you know why I sent you to Guangxi?" ”
"Your Majesty ordered Weichen to reorganize the guards of the royal palaces, and then guard Guangxi to prevent rebellion." Fang Ying replied truthfully.
"That's just scratching the surface."
Zhu Qiyu said quietly: "Guangxi's literary style is not prosperous, although Xue Xuan is in charge, but it is not a temporary power to educate the natives. ”
"I plan to move a few branches from Nankong and take root in Guangxi."
"In addition, I plan to vigorously promote the local natives, and the ones who are most familiar with the natives are often the natives, and I plan to use them."
"Xue Xuan is a dead brain, he is good at reciting poetry and managing places, he is a fool."
"So, I sent you, Zhu Yong, and Zhu Yi to go."
"Because if you want to promote the natives, you must beware of the natives, these natives, I can't believe it, but when you arrive in Guangxi, you must pretend to be trustworthy, small mistakes and small things, get by, you must pay attention to grasp this degree."
Fang Ying understood that the emperor was cultivating his ability to govern and cultivating him on the path of both civil and military skills.
Zhu Yi and Zhu Yong, although the emperor hates it, he is capable, and there are talents like Chen Wang and Weng Xin in the place, and Xue Xuan gives him a town, and the team is definitely very strong.
This was carefully matched for him by the emperor, hoping that he would rise to prominence and become the mainstay of his lords.
"Weichen will live up to His Majesty's expectations!" Fang Ying prostrate on the ground, kowtowing in thanksgiving, and her tone was choked.
"Fang Ying, I don't give you much time, three years, five years at most, so that most of the natives in Guangxi can speak basic Chinese, at least identify as Han Chinese."
Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up: "You have been in Guangxi for three years, and I will allow you to be a marquis!" ”
"You sent Fang Han to the Lecture Hall, it was prescient."
"Speaking of martial arts, it will become the cradle of the Ming generals, and the future of Fang Han is limitless."
"Fang Yi stays in the palace to serve, and I will reuse it."
"You don't have to worry about the affairs of Jingzhong, unless there is a war, I will not easily transfer you out of Liangguang."
"You first learn to govern under Xue Xuan, and next year, I will transfer Xue Xuan away."
"When the time comes, you will supervise Liangguang."
"Make some merits, and there should be handsome talents of Yunwen and Yunwu among the ministers!"
"This is my high hope for you, I hope you will be good for yourself."
Fang Ying was grateful and grateful.
I went out of the palace after eating.
He didn't remember the taste of the imperial meal, and only tasted the taste of thunder, rain and dew were Jun'en.
The emperor wants to use him, but he must first beat him.
It is impossible to say that he is not afraid, the emperor is treacherous, moody, and a monarch who is difficult to fool, so it is more difficult to go to the local government than to fight in the army.
The reason why he is used as a lord to govern the government is probably because he sees too many ministers among the ministers, and he wants to push out a few of them to check and balance the ministers.
Fang Ying sighed, Lao Tzu is really fucking unlucky!
"Fang Ying is out of the palace?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cloudy.
"Back to the emperor, Nan Hebo just came out of the noon gate." Feng Xiao didn't know why the emperor asked.
"It will take three or four years to come back when you leave Beijing, send a doctor to accompany you, give Fang Yi another day off, go back to accompany Fang Ying, and let him have a reunion dinner."
Zhu Qiyu asked: "Are there any palace people with good colors left in the palace?" ”
"Emperor, during the Dragon Boat Festival, you rewarded hundreds of them in one go, and now there are not many people who are still in the palace for special training." Feng Xiao smiled bitterly.
"Pick a good color and send it to Fang Ying, save those things!" Zhu Qiyu just wanted to stare at Fang Ying.
He doesn't trust anyone.
It is better to talk about trust directly, and it is better to use interests to bind it, which is the best way to control it.
The reason why Fang Ying was kicked to Liangguang.
The main reason is that Fang Ying is not suitable for political fighting, and she is a weak chicken when she fights.
Staying in Beijing, it is inevitable to get involved in it, or send it to the place, do something practical, save yourself in Beijing, and make trouble twice, and you can't save your head.
"Tell Lecture Martial Arts Ke Qian, give Fang Han half a day off, go home for dinner and then return to Lecture Martial Hall." Zhu Qiyu lowered his head again and continued to dispose of the music.
There are so many trivial things in the world.
Exhausted to watch every day.
But he never tires of it, because the music means that he has control over the world.
If the emperor doesn't read the chapter, he will be fooled by the people of the world, and finally be used as a clay tire wood sculpture for offering.
There are many problems in the recital, and he can't solve them.
But he had to watch, to know, in order to minimize being fooled by local officials, and moreover, the recital was also a channel of communication between him and local officials.
"Emperor, it's raining outside again." Feng Xiao came over to report.
Zhu Qiyu put down the music and raised his head, only to hear the murmuring sound outside, and sighed faintly: "It's been dry for nearly a month, and it's waterlogged again, don't count on this year's New Year." ”
"The Jialing River also can't get along with the people, more than a month, the water rises twice, and the people and the fertile land have suffered."
"I'm going to be hungry this fall."
"Send a decree to the imperial history, submit the disaster-stricken areas this year to the cabinet, order the cabinet to reduce taxes as appropriate, and then send the Supervision Department to check to see if it has been implemented, and let the people live."
Zhu Qiyu moved his body, continued to sit down, and disposed of the music.
The light was too dim, and he had a few lanterns added.
In order to protect his eyes, he tried not to read under the light, but the amount of music in the past two days was too large, so the disposal time was too late.
It wasn't until the first watch that he finished reading them all.
Stretching his waist, he walked to the door: "The rain hasn't stopped yet?" ”
"Who's waiting outside the door?" Zhu Qiyu saw a figure, and it seemed that he was shivering a little by the cool breeze.
"Back to the emperor, it is Liu Yu's father-in-law, he brought two people from the city, because it was getting late, he placed the people in the Siyi Pavilion (Huitong Hall), and he entered the palace to see the emperor." Feng Xiao whispered back.
"Come in."
Feng Xiao asked the emperor to retreat behind the screen, not to be hit by the cool breeze.
only then did he push open the door and let Liu Yu in.
Liu Yu fell to the ground, kowtowed, and said something obedient.
"Running back and forth, but I've lost weight."
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I'm used to being hot in Guangzhou, can't stand the wind of Beijing?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the slave is delicate."
"When I first went to Guangzhou from Beijing, I was so hot that I couldn't bear it."
"I've only lived there for a few years, and when I returned to Beijing, I couldn't stand the cold in the north."
"Tell me, is this leather cheap!"
Liu Yu's exaggeration was strange, which made the emperor laugh.
"Get up."
Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Tell me about those two Yi people, what is the situation?" ”
"Go back to the emperor, the slave and maid will return to Guangzhou, and go to find someone according to what you said."
"At the beginning, I invited a Mr. Yi, and he said that he was proficient in the four books."
"As a result, the slave maid took the test for him and found that he was a liar, and he didn't understand the scriptures at all......
Liu Yu was a little angry.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up: "Wait, where did the person you said go?" ”
"The emperor wants to dispose of him?"
"The slave sent someone to arrest him and throw him in a prison cell in Guangzhou."
"You said that this person has been wandering thousands of miles and has come to Daming to swagger and deceive, how can the slave and maid tolerate it!"
"He was beaten and thrown into a cell."
Liu Yu said angrily.
However, Zhu Qiyu felt that what Mr. Yi understood was not the scriptures, but the calculations.
But whether it is or not, Zhu Qiyu can't be sure: "You send someone to bring him here, be careful not to kill him, I will see if Yiren understands the scriptures." ”
"Emperor, where does he understand, he is not as good as a slave!"
Liu Yu's face was full of disdain.
In these years, Mo said that the dignitaries and nobles, even the common people in the fields, also looked down on the Yi people, and the sense of honor of the Heavenly Empire was leveraged.
"Bring it up, let me see."
Zhu Qiyu asked him to continue.
"After throwing the liar into the cell, the slave and maid went on to look for them, and just happened to find these two, both of whom were Francis."
"The slave and maid have asked, they have come with a merchant ship."
"But the slaves and maids don't believe it, they have calluses on their hands, and they smell like sea fish, like boatmen, either pirates or thieves!"
"It's not a good thing anyway!"
Liu Yu is very sure: "In recent years, there have always been Yi people on the shore, preaching what kind of teaching, it seems to be similar to the Jingjiao of the Yuan Dynasty, and there are even Yi boats cruising at the gate of the city's ship, if it weren't for the slave and maid water diverter, I'm afraid those Yi people would hit the door!" ”
Zhu Qiyu frowned, in this era, the West is trying to knock on the door of the Ming Dynasty?
Thinking about it, the West is looking for a new continent, and it naturally covets the East, which is full of gold, and does not bombard the country with artillery, which shows that they are still in the tentative stage.
"Emperor, those Xiyi are also extremely untrustworthy in doing business."
"Colluded with pirates to rob our goods."
"I don't admit it afterwards, and they change the price they say."
"I have found a lot of reasons to keep lowering the price of my Daming goods in disguise......"
Liu Yu spat at the stars and expressed strong dissatisfaction with Xiyi trade.
It is a mistake to let the doctor do business.
To do professional things, you have to use professionals.
There are not a lot of profiteers in the Ming Dynasty, and they are sent to compete with the Yi people to see who is more black-hearted?
"Liu Yu, you have a good grasp of these."
"To be honest, the Ming Dynasty's grasp of Xiyi, or the information of the Yongle Dynasty, is too old, and it is not as much as you know."
"The court didn't pay attention to the city department in the past, you, the eunuch guarding the town, are just collecting money for the palace, and even the city department is also a tool for collecting money in the palace."
"I know that you have been wronged all these years."
Of course Zhu Qiyu understood, Liu Yu was crying.
What's the use of eunuchs asking for money?
What he wants is the favor of the emperor, the pinnacle of power, the glory of the heir, not the simple greed for money.
Therefore, he borrowed Xiyi's mouth to complain to the emperor.
"Slaves and maids run around for the emperor, and they don't feel hard." Liu Yu choked up.
"Okay, don't cry, can you fully grasp the city?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
As soon as Liu Yu got up, he immediately knelt on the ground: "The slave and maid assured the emperor, where the emperor pointed, the city boss would fight!" ”
He said that the slave and maid also have the ability, and begged the emperor's grandfather to use it quickly.
"You have merit in offering imperial rice."
"I plan to put the City Department out of the Department of General Administration and directly subordinate it to the Military Aircraft Department."
"Give you another quota, and recruit three thousand sailors on the spot."
"One is to protect the goods of the city; Second, to guard against Xiyi. ”
Zhu Qiyu's fingertips tapped on the imperial case: "You continue to be the admiral eunuch of the City Ship Division, and then bring a few people from the Qianqing Palace to be the eunuchs of Bingbi and fill the official position of the City Ship Division." ”
Zhu Qiyu didn't trust him very much, so he had to send someone to keep an eye on him.
Liu Yu's face was full of excitement, and he bowed to the ground: "The slave and maid will live up to the high expectations of the emperor!" ”
"Speaking of imperial rice, the slaves and maids brought back half a boat from the city, all of which were trafficked by Xiyi."
"There is also a plant that the slave has never seen, please dedicate it to the emperor!"
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu stood up suddenly: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Bring things in, quick! ”
Zhu Qiyu thought it was potatoes or sweet potatoes.
As a result, the two little eunuchs carried a wooden box with a sunflower in it!
White was excited.
At most, this thing can control the mouths of ordinary people, and it is not hungry, what can it do?
"Emperor, this thing is shaped like a chrysanthemum, listen to the people of Nayi, this thing is born to the sun, it is an excellent ornamental plant."
The brighter the thing, the more people dare to eat it.
Just like the persimmon tree, Zhu Qiyu has not eaten a single persimmon until now.
Because the palace people tested the poison, there was only one left.
This one, you can't eat it, keep it for cultivation and planting.
"It's a good thing."
Zhu Qiyu looked around it, at this time the sunflowers had not yet borne fruit, and the melon seeds had not yet taken shape.
"Emperor, the slave maid exchanged a boatload of silk, I don't know if it's expensive?" Liu Yu was worried in his heart.
The royal rice is sold by the Yi people, and he buys it cheaply.
But Yiren is not stupid, after selling it once, he knew that the dignitaries and dignitaries in the court liked it, so he blackened Liu Yu to death, opened his mouth to be a hundred boats of silk, bargained for a few days, and finally sold the deal at the price of a boatload of silk.
"It's not expensive, this thing is a treasure!"
Zhu Qiyu somewhat understood, in fact, many crops were about to be introduced to Daming, or had already been introduced to Daming.
However, the ruler only knew how to eat, drink and be merry, and did not care about the people's table, and it was not until corn, sweet potatoes and other crops were planted in a large area among the people that the court realized it.
To put it bluntly, it is the inaction of the people in power.
Therefore, he ordered the people of the world to search for crops, and there will inevitably be those crops that should not appear in this era and appear in the court.
It's because those in power want that no matter what the price is, someone will get it in order to become an official.
Liu Yujin offered crops, and Zhu Qiyu rewarded him lavishly.
Naturally, some people will learn from him, and if the emperor continues to reward him, then everyone in the world will find their way to satisfy the emperor's psychology.
This is driven by interests, and this is the hearts of the people.
"Does this thing have a name?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Please give the emperor a name!" Liu Yu knelt on the ground, even if there was, he had to say no, the emperor's golden mouth was only qualified to give names to all things.
"When it blooms towards the sun, it looks like a sunflower, so it's called a sunflower."
"The emperor is very knowledgeable...... Liu Yu immediately presented a rainbow fart, in fact, he wanted to ask, why not call Xiang Xuan. Chrysanthemum?
Asking is what I want.
Zhu Qiyu looked around the sunflowers: "Just bring one?" ”
"Emperor, the Yi people are smart, and one plant needs a boatload of silk."
But the slave saw that he had a few plants in his hand.
Liu Yufa said ruthlessly: "If the slave has a soldier in his hand, he will be killed at that time!" ”
"If you dare to blackmail the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, you should send troops to crusade against his country! Destroy his species! ”
These words entered Zhu Qiyu's heart.
"Get up."
Zhu Qiyu patted him on the shoulder and praised: "With this thought, you are the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, I will allow you to have a military quota of 5,000, and the internal money will support you in logistics, and then there is Xiyi blackmail, just send troops to beat his mother!" ”
Liu Yu didn't expect that an unexpected sentence would actually shoot the emperor's dragon fart.
"Slaves and maids will make good use of 5,000 people to open up territory on the sea for the emperor!" Liu Yu is really good at sycophancy.
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "It's good if you have this heart, first bring 5,000 people, and when you bring them out of the Hall of Fame, I will give you a regimental battalion and let you be the commander of the general army." ”
"Emperor Xie appreciates!" Liu Yu kowtowed and thanked him.
Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood, instructed him how to lead the troops, and asked him to go to the martial arts hall to learn during his time in Beijing.
"That half a boatload of imperial rice will be transported to the palace for me, and there can be no mistakes."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Then you can live in the palace, Feng Xiao, and arrange a residence for him." ”
"Slave obeys!"
sent Liu Yu away, Zhu Qiyu looked around the sunflowers, but he didn't know how to raise them.
"Announce Xue Xilian." Zhu Qiyu said suddenly.
"Emperor, the palace gate has been locked, do you want to open the palace gate?" Wynne asked in a whisper.
Zhu Qiyu groaned slightly: "Open the palace door and tell Xue Qing that there is something important to discuss, please come quickly." ”
Last time he rewarded Chen Yu, this time he rewarded Liu Yu.
It is estimated that there will be more and more people who take strange things to offer treasures, just like the emperor likes auspicious rui from the sky, and the people are eager to come out with 10,000 auspicious rui a day to offer to the emperor.
As long as there are enough people offering treasures, sooner or later you can find treasures.
Just thinking about it, Xue Xilian wiped the sweat from his forehead and entered the hall to bow.
"Xue Qing don't worry, look at this thing!" Zhu Qiyu pointed to the sunflowers.
Xue Xilian was stunned, do you think this is an urgent matter?
I slept with my concubine in my arms, and the effect of the medicine just came up, you said that there was an emergency, and I came here with a rush, and then, that's it?
"This thing is a sunflower, and when the fruit is ripe, it can be eaten directly or fried." Zhu Qiyu blinked at Xue Xilian.
There are no waves in ancient wells, and there are no waves in ancient wells.
Xue Xilian thought silently in his heart, and really wanted to slap the emperor in the face.
Is that about it, tomorrow morning to say no?
"I thought that Xue Qing understood agriculture, so I wanted to give this thing to Xue Qing."
Seeing the corners of Xue Xilian's eyebrows jumping, Zhu Qiyu feigned anger and said: "Xue Qing can't underestimate this thing, this thing was exchanged for a boat of silk, and there is only one plant in the Ming Dynasty." ”
"What? A boatload of silk? ”
Xue Xilian opened his mouth wide: "Your Majesty, no matter how precious this thing is, it is not worth a boatload of silk." ”
"Xue Qing doesn't want to say this, silk can be weaved, but this crop, if it is successfully cultivated, it can enrich the people's table, why not?"
Xue Xilian bowed and said: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and Weichen will definitely take care of this...... Sunflower. ”
It's supposed to be called a chrysanthemum, but why is it called Aoi?
The color is obviously the color of chrysanthemum.
Zhu Qiyu didn't care what Xue Xilian thought.
Sent Xue Xilian away, he was thinking that eggs could not be put in one basket, especially imperial rice, which had to be planted in the palace.
"Xu Hui (Xu Youzhen) is it okay?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"It should be raised, it's been raised for almost a month, and it should be able to go to the ground."
Feng Xiao didn't know either.
But those Mobei people raised very quickly, and they walked normally in three days.
The literati are golden.
"Move a plant of imperial rice to his house, let him take care of it carefully, and if he takes care of it, he will have merit."
Zhu Qiyu knows that Xu Youzhen is a very talented person, even if he doesn't know how to farm, he can learn quickly, and he will definitely be able to raise well.
"Slave obeys!" Feng Xiao sent someone to send it to Xu Hui.
"Xu Bin of Nangong is also a talent, send one to him and let him take care of it properly." Zhu Qiyu will not idle talents.
Liu Yu got back a boatload of imperial rice, and if it is used well, it can be cultivated this year and promoted throughout the country next year.
Fall asleep in thought.
The next morning, Zhu Qiyu sat in the bed curtain.
Feng Xiaowen heard that the emperor got up, pushed the door in, and saw the emperor in a daze.
"Feng Xiao, I had a strange dream last night."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "The Jingshi in the dream, the traffic is busy, the car is not a carriage, it is a kind of car that burns gasoline, running on the road, there are high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, higher than the drum tower, they are all made of bricks, there are restaurants on both sides, the fragrant smell makes me linger and forget to return......
Finished!
The Emperor is crazy again!
Did you dream of the Second Emperor Renxuan again?
Putting on his clothes, Zhu Qiyu began his morning exercises, and he almost didn't listen to a word of "Zhenguan Political Leaders" read by Huaien.
went to court, Zhu Qiyu told the strange dream last night.
"Your Majesty has been listening to the drama lately, right?" Hu Hu said with a smile.
The atmosphere in the Fengtian Temple is relaxed.
"I also saw how the people in the dream ate the rice, they steamed it, roasted it, boiled it, and made it into corn porridge and corn paste, and there were all kinds of methods."
But the courtier laughed.
The emperor had strange dreams, not once or twice.
"I plan to put forward the City Ship Division separately and directly subordinate it to the Military Aircraft Department, and give the City Ship Division a real quota of 5,000 soldiers, so that the City Ship Division can train sailors and protect the safety of the coastal seas."
Geng Jiuchou immediately smelled a business opportunity.
"Your Majesty, the City Department is not under the control of the Political Division, and Weichen has no opinion."
Geng Jiuchou bowed and asked, "But is the cost of this conscription paid by the household or from the inside?" ”
"What is Geng Qing's opinion?"
"Weichen thinks that the household should be out, if the world's money needs to be paid out, what else does the household do?"
Geng Jiuchou said righteously: "Therefore, Weichen wants the household department to pay for the army. ”
Zhu Qiyu saw through this thing at a glance.
I must carve up the income of the city.
"Geng Jiuchou, your careful thinking can't hide from me."
Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Don't you just want to divide the trade input?" ”
Geng Jiuchou smiled awkwardly.
However, this is what he, the head of the household, should do, and doing everything possible to turn the treasury into the treasury is the job of the head of the household.
"Yes, I will allow you."
"In this way, I have also withdrawn the banknotes, doubled the tax revenue, and collected all the revenue of the customs to the household department, and do not need a cent of internal money."
"In the future, customization will be formed, and the customs proceeds will be collected in the court, and the internal government will not be allowed to point fingers, let alone set up banknotes."
"What do you think?"
This caused the courtiers to bow down.
O Holy Emperor from heaven!
Because of the matter of the banknote, officials wrote to the emperor every day.
However, the emperor pretended to be stupid.
But he didn't want to, the emperor actually withdrew the banknote directly.
Guangzhou City Bo Division, the household department plus banknotes, about 1 million taels of silver.
If it is all collected by the household department, the household department will be rich.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Long live Baiguan Mountain.
"Don't be too busy thanking you yet, I have conditions."
Zhu Qiyu will not make a loss-making transaction.
He can set up banknotes and abolish them, but the emperor of later generations will not be able to do it, and he must think about the kings of later generations.
The emperor is the emperor if he has money, and the emperor who has no money is the king of the country.
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
Zhu Qiyu stretched out two fingers: "I have two conditions. ”
"First, the Royal Merchant House must be exempted from customs duties when engaging in overseas trade."
"Second, the city department must be supervised by a eunuch, and the civil official can only be the second-in-command."
The first one is fine.
The Royal Merchant House is engaged in overseas trade, I don't know when, the most important thing is to settle for safety.
Promise!
The second article is not good, since the city department has been transferred to the household department, then the civil official should be the leader, and the eunuch can only supervise, not supervise.
"Your Majesty, since the city is included in the court, why do you want to make the eunuch admiral?" Geng Jiuchou expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Because I can't trust you."
Zhu Qiyu was straightforward: "Don't think I don't know, the court doesn't go to the sea, but civil smuggling is rampant." ”
"If I let the city division to the court."
"Believe it or not, in a few years, the market will not be able to collect the hair!"
"I can kill people, I can kill chickens and take eggs."
"But can the king of the Hereafter?"
"The money collected by this city is used for all the people in the world, if it is gone, how will the king of the future generations be the emperor?"
"I'm going to think about them."
"Also, I'll ask you again, do you know how to do business?"
"Don't understand, do you? Don't bother to do it! ”
Zhu Qiyu helped them answer:
"I don't know how to march and fight, so I have always delegated power to generals who can fight well."
"Since you don't know how to do business, you should also learn from me, delegate power to businessmen, and let them pay money to the household department."
"So, this city can do without money, but it must be supervised by Tai."
"I am in charge of the kings of the Hereafter!"
The atmosphere that had been lively was solidified again.
"Then according to what Your Majesty said, the civil official went to the city and the department, just for decoration?" Geng Jiuchou was blunt.
"The official is the official, the people are the people, and the government is in charge of the people."
Zhu Qiyu pondered: "It's just the business aspect, it should be handed over to businessmen, and the officials have to collect tariffs." ”
"How can it be used as an ornament?"
"Kill what should be managed, kill what should be killed! Same as before! ”
Zhu Qiyu's words changed:
"Now that we're talking about the city, I'm going to step up trade."
"It is recorded in the archives that Yiguo treats the silk and porcelain of the Central Plains as treasures."
"Have you ever wondered, why don't you increase your trade? Earn the money of those people? ”
These words made Zhang Feng happy.
You're such a layman, you're a vegetable and a pretend, you're talking about someone.
"Your Majesty, silk is also extremely precious in Daming."
"How many pieces of silk does a weaver have to weave in a year?"
"In addition to supplying the Ming Dynasty, we can only take it out for sale, so naturally we can't increase the supply."
"Moreover, the supply is sufficient, and the isthmus is poor, how much can you afford? I bought it once or twice, and I couldn't afford it. ”
Zhang Feng's words provoked the approval of the courtiers.
They all believe that foreigners are living in dire straits.
The money for buying silk, tea, and porcelain is squeezed out of the teeth, so it is impossible to consume so much silk porcelain.
Zhu Qiyu is also happy, I see that you are shallow in human knowledge.
Got up from the dragon chair, walked down from His Majesty, pointed at Zhang Feng and said, "Otherwise, you officials don't know how to do business!" ”
"What do you think?" Zhang Feng was surprised.
"Silk and porcelain are treasures of the Ming Dynasty, and they are beyond the reach of people."
"But you are so sincere that you have to sell the finest silk."
"It's expensive, it's not profitable, it's not in supply."
"Why can't you take the goods and sell them to the Yiren?"
"Zhang Feng, do you think Yi people are poor? I remember that in the Yuan Dynasty, the big cannibals were all so rich that they all wore silk and drank tea, so wouldn't the people who went west of the big food country be richer? ”
Zhu Qiyu is instilling the idea of Western prosperity little by little.
To stimulate the ferocity of the Ming people, the scholars should go to the West to grab a wave.
"Your Majesty, what we sell to the outside world is already a defective product."
Zhang Feng looked at the emperor like a fool: "When Eunuch Zheng went to the West, he held the best silk, and those Fanbang kings all bowed down to the silk, thinking that it was a divine object woven by the gods. ”
I'm out of the ocean again.
"What about the most inferior silk?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Daming weavers are exquisite, how can they weave worse silk?" Zhang Feng's face was full of pride.
But he doesn't understand business.
"Then use machine weaving to minimize the cost."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Increase the supply and sell it to the Yi people in exchange for silver." ”
"Reform the loom and reduce costs."
"The Royal Merchant House will do it, be the first to eat crabs."
"Then I sent someone to talk to the Yi people."
"If it sells well, let's do it according to this way, and the same is true for tea and porcelain, making money for people."
"There is only one thing that remains the same, the people are not allowed to go to the sea! Those caught move to the mainland and are not allowed to go to the sea! ”
"In particular, merchants are not allowed to trade with Fanbang, and those who are caught will be punished by the nine clans! Write it into the Da Ming Law and copy it all over the world! ”
Zhu Qiyu didn't want to be embarrassed, so he hurriedly ended the topic.
He thought he was a prophet, but he didn't know that the ancients were a hundred times wiser than him.
"There is a Municipal Shipping Bureau on the Municipal Shipping Division, which is directly subordinate to the Military Aircraft Department, and Langzhong of the Municipal Shipping Bureau is elected by the Cabinet."
Zhu Qiyu said: "The Water Horse Post Station was put forward separately, and a post station bureau was set up, which was directly subordinate to the Military Aircraft Department. ”
"According to my idea, this post station can get seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver every year."
"Of course, there will be a lot of investment in the initial stage, and it will stabilize after two or three years."
"If the business is good, the contract fee can increase in the future."
"This money ......"
Zhu Qiyu looked at Geng Jiuchou.
Geng Jiuchou also pricked up his ears and wanted to be included in the household department.
Now he, the head of the household, is a dog that guards food, and he wants to bite into everything and put it in his nest.
"Geng Jiuchou, tell me your opinion first." Zhu Qiyu didn't think about it either.
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen thought that it should be split fifty-fifty." Geng Jiuchou wanted to eat a fat man.
"I can give it all to the household!"
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I don't want any money." ”
And this good thing?
Geng Jiuchou immediately became vigilant: "Your Majesty, why don't you take a little." ”
"Haha, aren't you, the housekeeper, going to be Xia Yuanji?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled: "What? I offered to give you the money, don't you want it? ”
"Wechen is worried that this is a pit." Geng Jiuchou was about to cry.
Zhu Qiyu laughed.
"That's right, this money is not given to the household in vain."
"I'm going to continue building the post road."
"On the original post road, add another part to connect the various cities."
"Especially in the border areas."
"So, this money is only the hand of the transfer department, and then it has to be spent."
Geng Jiuchou breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
That's his merit.
"As I said before, every department and department must make a profit."
"Don't think about asking the household to provide for you."
"I still say this, I will try my best to make money, and then put the money in the treasury."
"Only when the treasury is full can the world be maintained."
Zhu Qiyu's voice slowed: "I was too mean to you before. ”
"The people scolded me for being mean and unkind."
"I admit it."
"I only know how to wield a knife and kill people, but I have never asked you, how are you doing?"
"The dignified ministers in the world, but they are not as good as the businessmen, who can balance their hearts?"
"I met with the Jin merchants yesterday, hum, those businessmen are all insatiable, and they don't have any family and country people in their hearts, only their own interests!"
"So, I reflect on myself at night."
"It's too you."
"Except for me, you should be the most honorable people in the world."
"Deserves better."
"Don't kneel, stand up, I'm telling you the truth."
"The ancients talked about high salaries and incorruptible salaries, and the Ming Dynasty was too low to raise dogs, didn't this force hundreds of officials to reach out and be corrupt officials?"
"Before the court was poor, the princes also had to understand the court."
"But now it's different, the court is rich, and my inner money is also rich."
"It can't be the same again."
"I'm going to add ......"
But that's not the end of the story.
Hu Hu knelt on the ground: "Please Your Majesty, don't continue!" ”
Zhu Qiyu frowned.
What kind of moth is Hu Hu going to do?
"Your Majesty, the so-called high salary and incorruptibility are just a scam."
"How can people be satisfied with a high salary if they have power?"
"How much is a high salary?"
"People's hearts are profitable, and it is not a little wealth that can be satisfied."
"Your Majesty, the old minister knows that now the household and the internal treasury are gradually getting richer."
"But!"
"It's not easy for the court to save some money."
"You can't say that squandering is squandering!"
"The old minister's words will offend all the officials in the world, but the old minister doesn't care!"
"Because, if you have raised your income today, what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? ”
"This man has never been satisfied."
"You have raised one stone of grain today, how much should you increase the day after tomorrow?"
"Now the court is rich, but who can guarantee that there will be no natural disasters and man-made disasters tomorrow, will the court be so rich in a few years?"
"If it goes up, once the court has no money, how can it be lowered?"
"Old minister, please think twice!"
Hu Hu went out.
He will never allow the increase in profits.
If you want to talk about wealth, the richest time is the Xuande Dynasty, the court has accumulated more than 10 million taels of silver, and the grain is stored in the warehouse with insects.
However, Emperor Xuanzong never mentioned the increase in income.
Even the orthodox dynasty, when Sanyang was in power, also avoided the rise of the capital.
The reason is that people's hearts are difficult to control and will not be satisfied.
If the Xuande Dynasty rises in the Yulu, the Jingtai Dynasty will collapse in the early years, and it will be completely crushed by the finances, and now the Jingtai Emperor is the king of the dead country.
It was precisely because of the lack of income that he passed the battle of Beijing in the early years of Jingtai.
It also survived Jingtai's eight years of turmoil.
I have to admire Sanyang's wisdom.
"Old lady, please get up!" Zhu Qiyu was also dizzy, how could he make such a mistake?
Isn't the first emperor more politically skilled than him?
Sanyang is not better than him?
Obviously, the treasury is piling up, why doesn't it rise?
It's because you have to think about how to live when you are poor.
You can't live forever rich.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace, this is the truth.
But.
Zhu Qiyu saw it more deeply, he tied his life to Hu Hui's body, but Hu Hu cut himself off from the world.
He's dodging!
Escape from my life.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cloudy.
"The old lady is for the country and the people, and I am taught."
Zhu Qiyu said: "However, although the old lady said that he couldn't raise his income, it was indeed reasonable, but I thought that I should set up a cheap silver." ”
"The old lady doesn't advise, I know it in my heart."
"This is incorruptible silver, not cash silver, it is a 10% share of the Royal Commercial Bank."
"I take out 10% of all the profits, how much or less is there every year, and then divide them according to the official positions of the officials in the world, and the silver of the previous year will be distributed in the second year, and this silver will not be distributed until the person dies."
"Whether it's more or less, it's a little bit of my mind."
"However, I think the future prospects of the Royal Comptoir are very good."
"One percent of the profit may be millions of taels of silver, so each of you can get a considerable amount of silver."
Zhu Qiyu doesn't want to be paid a high salary.
Hu Hu is right, that's, it's useless to give a high salary, you should reach out and reach out.
When he gave this money, he was actually mobilizing the enthusiasm of officials.
Concentrate on making money for the court.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The courtiers kowtowed.
"I still have one more thing to say, the Ming Dynasty restored the clothes of the Han people, and the name is precious to two words."
"But now, it's too difficult to come up with a two-word name, and there are too many duplicate names."
"In the court, there are two Cao Tai, and I can't tell the difference between them stupidly."
"Moreover, among the courtiers, the names have been called hundreds of times by their predecessors, and there are too many names that are the same as those of historical figures, and they sound unremarkable."
"It's better to change the name to three words, look at me, it's also called three words, isn't it honorable?"
"Two words are repeated, and three words can at least be distinguished."
"Simply, Zhu Qing took the lead, the name of his own child should be three words, called awkward at the beginning, and he will get used to it after a while, at least he will not have the same name."
"I said that, can you understand?"
Zhu Qiyu really has a headache.
The ability of the people of the Ming Dynasty to name is a lot worse.
Looking at the names of the lords, they all look mediocre, not domineering at all, and the renaming rate is 100%.
Two words, that's all.
"The old minister supports His Majesty."
Hu Hu bowed to the ground: "The Han people value two words, and now it's time to change." ”
"During the Tang and Song dynasties, three-character names abounded, and three-character names were not noble?"
"When the old minister went home, he changed the name of the eldest grandson to a three-character name."
Zhu Qing bowed: "Weichen is willing to be an example for the world!" ”
It's not just the emperor who has a headache.
The cabinet ministers who deal with government affairs all have a headache.
Looking at it, it is all the same name, this is still a civil official, and then look at the uneducated ministers, the one called a perfunctory.
The names of the ancestors are also used repeatedly.
Some are worried about colliding with their ancestors, so they simply use the names of other people's ancestors, and use them, and they are about to become each other's ancestors.
"Okay, Zhuqing will take the lead, and the people of the world will follow."
Zhu Qiyu smiled contentedly: "I cooperate with Zhuqing, and it is seamless. ”
