Chapter Eighty-Six: Brother-in-law, what's that, give me a chance!
"Brother-in-law, don't get too excited."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "Aren't you joking with me, I'm also joking with you." ”
Li Xiao was a little speechless. I'm not kidding you.
You really have a chance to be emperor.
The premise is . Gotta have a good son
Of course, Li Xiao naturally won't continue to talk about this.
Who knows if if you leak the secret of heaven, you will be punished by God and reduce your lifespan?
Zhu Gaoxu stuffed the note into his arms and said:
"Brother-in-law, in fact, what you said makes sense, enjoy it!"
"Of course, this is a little different from what Grandfather taught us. But I'm still inclined to you. ”
"Fisherman basking in the sun. Well, that makes sense! I remembered. ”
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu really didn't have any ideas.
His idea is to be a county king and live a lifetime.
Of course, it would be even more interesting if I could go out to fight with my father.
"I hope so."
With all that said, Li Xiao didn't have much to say.
He continued to ask: "By the way, you said that double happiness is coming, what is this second happiness?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "This second joy is naturally related to my brother-in-law. ”
"Something to do with me?" Li Xiao became interested.
"That's not it, it's your good thing, Asahi Tian Shelang,"
Zhu Gaoxu explained: "Brother-in-law, your birth date and place of origin have been handed over to the Zongren Mansion in the capital, after approval, with the approval of the emperor's grandfather, after getting married, you will be the guest of honor of the palace, and you should come with me as the king of the county!" ”
Li Xiao was slightly stunned, the efficiency is so fast.
It can really be said that the dynasty is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in the Tianzi Hall.
When the holy decree comes down, he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor.
Li Xiao learned from his memories that the requirements for Yibin during the Hongwu period were not so high.
As long as you are age-appropriate, healthy, and have a clean family background, you can do it.
Many of Zhu Yuanzhang's own daughters are married.
Of course, this kind of farmer status should be the first case?
The princess's husband is called a colt, and the princess's husband is called a guest of honor.
In short, there are countless benefits to becoming a guest of honor, ranking as a relative of the emperor and the country, and having many privileges.
"The First Chapter of the Emperor's Ancestral Teachings" reads:
If the emperor's relatives have committed a crime, in the heir's self-determination, except for the rebellion, the rest of the offenses, the lighter ones and the relatives in Beijing, the heavier ones and the kings and relatives in Beijing, are all taken from the upper judgment, and the house of the offender is allowed to act in justice, and no judicial questioning is allowed.
In other words, no forgiveness will be given except for the great sin of rebellion and rebellion.
For other crimes, the three divisions and yamen cannot take people at will, and they must let the family discuss it before convicting them.
As long as there is no rebellion, there is a high probability that it will go sideways in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, many officials and nobles will try their best to marry the royal family.
However, Li Xiao also knows so much.
He asked, "Gao Xu, is there any benefit to being a guest of honor?" ”
"Of course."
Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "My sister is the county lord of Yong'an, and the county lord and the guest of honor eat eight hundred stones. It's not as much as me, but it's good."
Li Xiao bowed his head and expressed satisfaction.
In fact, the treatment of honor guests during the Hongwu period was really good.
But in the Yongle period, the wind direction changed.
After the Jingjing, Zhu Di learned the lesson of Zhu Yunwen's tough cutting of the feudal domain and adopted a flexible cutting of the feudal domain.
Take back the rights and raise them like pigs in the city.
The power of those vassal kings plummeted.
The old man is no longer beautiful, let alone his son-in-law.
Of course, these are later words
Zhu Gaoxu ate 2,000 stones, he was afraid that Li Xiao would be envious, jealous and hateful, so he added:
"Hehe, isn't there a difference between men and women?"
"The eldest sister's food is indeed a little low, and it can't be hereditary."
"By the way, the dowry given by my father to my eldest sister still has some inheritance, which is barely enough to spend."
"Brother-in-law still has a salt mine subsidy. Brother-in-law, what's wrong with that salt mine? ”
Zhu Gaoxu successfully changed the topic.
Li Xiao said: "You said this, I was about to tell you." The salt mine has come out of the salt, and the first batch of salt has been sold. ”
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, took a sip of tea, and said in surprise: "Is it really salt?" ”
He originally had a half-believing attitude, some people have always tried to make salt in the salt mine, but the salt produced is all poisonous salt, not to mention bitter, and it can poison people if you eat it.
didn't expect my brother-in-law to really succeed.
"How can this be fake?"
Li Xiao said with a smile: "The Salt Transportation Division has already experienced the goods and sold the silver." ”
Zhu Gaoxu asked softly, "How much was sold?" ”
Li Xiao said: "One penny of silver and one catty of salt, the first batch of five thousand two hundred catties was sold for five hundred and twenty taels. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu stood up suddenly.
Five hundred and twenty ????
Such a high price is outrageous.
It seems that the salt sold by the government is sold for two dollars of silver.
Salt farmers sell to the salt transportation department, and according to the quality, they are at most 20 to 30 yuan.
How is it possible to sell for a penny?
That's more than tripled.
"Brother-in-law, you didn't lie to me, did you? One penny of silver and one pound of salt, even if the price of salt is raised now, it is impossible to sell it so high, and the salt from my father's own salt farm is only sold for twenty-five wen. ”
Zhu Gaoxu said babblingly.
"Be quiet!"
Li Xiao beckoned, and Zhu Gaoxu sat down again, thief-headed.
He took out a package of paper, unfolded it, and there was snowflake white salt inside, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Look at this salt, is it worth a penny?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu took a closer look, and the whole person was stunned.
Is this salt?
He tasted it, and it was really salt, the kind without a hint of bitterness!
"Brother-in-law. We made this salt? ”
Zhu Gaoxu's whole person was a little excited, and he was crazy in his mind.
I heard my brother-in-law say last time that a batch of salt can be out in three days.
It's ten batches a month.
A batch of 5,000 catties is 50,000 catties a month.
All sell for one penny of silver, that's five thousand taels!!
That's more than 60,000 taels a year!
And that's without counting the expansion of production capacity.
Hiss.
I ate two thousand stones, and exchanged it for one thousand taels of silver, which is a thousand taels of silver, which is a fart with this.
My brother-in-law can earn 50,000 taels a year???????
Wait, how much is 50,000 taels and 11 percent?
Five thousand taels!
Five thousand taels a year!
"Brother-in-law."
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Li Xiao, his eyes were full of flattery: "Dear brother-in-law, I remember that you seemed to say last time, you will share my profits, right?" ”
"Hmm"
Li Xiao sighed for a few breaths, and then said: "Oh, that's true, then you said don't come, I didn't count your share." ”
"No, no, no, no. I'm going to! I'm going to! Don't be a fool! ”
Zhu Gaoxu remembered that he had indeed said this, but he hadn't settled the account at the time, did he?
Li Xiao glanced at his empty teacup, Zhu Gaoxu immediately got up, filled it respectfully, and said humbly: "Brother-in-law, what, give me a chance, give my brother a chance to regret it." ”
Li Xiao: "."
This young man can stretch and bend!
