Chapter 69: It's New Year
"Although the imperial court did not explicitly prohibit the vassal kings from doing some business in private, there are some vassal kings who do do so, but most of them are small businesses, and often these highnesses and princes themselves do not come forward, let alone take the lead, Your Highness, although this is a good way, but after all, it is not very good-looking, right?" Lao Cao's eyes persuaded.
Zhu Song sighed in his heart, sad, too sad, whether it is Lao Cao or other ancients, they are so sad, thinking that it is a shame to do business, what is the shame of this?
From ancient times to the present, doing business, this is like human instinct, it turns out that when there is no silver and no currency, it is not all barter, and bartering is not also business?
Zhu Song also knows that in this era, since he can't change the views of people all over the world, he can only adapt to today's society.
"The vassal king takes the lead in business, and the way of doing business is indeed a bit unpleasant, but who said that this king came forward to do business in person? The king wants to cooperate with those merchants, who are neither subordinates of the king, nor are they servants of the king, at best they are only a partnership, so what can be done? ”
Lao Cao smiled bitterly after hearing this.
"Although His Highness's words say so, His Highness is the prince after all, and His Highness doesn't read the book of sages but has to practice the way of business, oh, no, it's not dealing with those merchants, in the end, it's still a little not good-looking, and it is possible to give people a handle!"
"What is there to give a man a hand?" Zhu Song said disdainfully: "Isn't it just that the king was scolded for being greedy, and the king was taken out and scolded for a good time, saying that this king, as a prince, didn't know how to think about the royal family, and embarrassed the royal family!" ”
But what else could they say? The silver was spent in vain to the king's, and the king built the city defense in his hands to protect the people and resist the invasion of foreign enemies. ”
"Since the founding of our Ming Dynasty, which vassal king has been fined for three years? This king is the first person since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but in the past three years, it is 30,000 stones, a full 30,000 stones, why is this king not panicking? No, is it because of the thick background of this royal family? ”
"The status of businessmen is a little lower, they are considered to be the ninth class, but those businessmen, especially those rich families in Jiangnan, where are they not better than the people? Just by setting a ninth-rate person, you can set people at the bottom forever, and people will never be able to turn over? ”
"No, I can't! Of course, the imperial court still has to curb the development of merchants, and must not allow merchants to monopolize a certain industry or place, then there will be chaos, but it shouldn't be too suppressed! ”
Lao Cao was silent after listening to it, and the book he read told him that the way of the merchant was always the last to be on the stage, but His Royal Highness's words were also true.
Yes, how can I do it without money, my Ming Dynasty is so strong now, I can fight a war, and I can help a disaster if I say that I can do it, not because the treasury is relatively solid now, and the first prince Xianming let the country save some money and be rich and strong for a few years.
But if there is no wisdom of the first prince, maybe the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty will still be in Beiping now.
"What His Highness said is reasonable, if there is no money, even if it is a heavenly immortal, it can only be helpless."
"But His Highness doesn't have any talents who are good at doing business, so what should I do?"
Zhu Song heard this like a deflated ball.
"That's a good thing, this king has to worry about talents every year, when will this king be able to recruit talents from all over the world? Alas, although Kaiyuan is good, there are still too few people in the end. ”
"Let's do it first, Lao Cao, if you find any talents who are particularly good at doing business and doing business, you must inform this king, and if you can recruit them, it is best to recruit people as much as possible!"
"This king is back now, there is nothing in the palace that you need to check, you will have one thing in the next period of time, that is, try to find more talents for this king!"
said to find more talents, His Royal Highness said this is to touch the skin of the mouth, but listening to Lao Cao's ears, Lao Cao only felt that his head was very big.
"It's just the order of the lower officer......"
…
Another half a month passed, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve.
New Year's Day is the most important festival, no matter how the year goes, always on this day of the New Year, be generous, get as much food as possible, children look forward to a year's new clothes, can also be worn on this day.
His Royal Highness King Han personally led people to paste Spring Festival couplets on the doors of the palace, hoping that the palace would be peaceful, peaceful and joyful in the new year.
It's really strange to say, in the past, there was no princess as a hostess in the house, and this palace seemed to be missing something, and it was less angry.
Now that there is a princess, the princess is in front of her, and there is a hostess in charge of the house, and the atmosphere is immediately different.
In the final analysis, Feng Miaoqin is only fifteen years old now, one year younger than Zhu Song, and now he is still a child after all.
The princess got up early in the morning, ran to the courtyard to light fireworks, set off fireworks, and with Princess Han in front of the maids in the palace, the people also followed one by one.
Zhu Song held the paste, the dog pasted the couplet neatly, and the kid suddenly jumped down from the stool and clapped his hands.
At this moment, the old man and the old mother-in-law also walked out of the house with a spring breeze on their faces, watching their daughter set off a cannon in the yard, and told her daughter to be careful.
Li Gouzi looked at the eldest lady, the lord and the lady and said with a sigh.
"It's so good, the old lady hasn't been so happy in a while."
King Han stirred the paste in the bowl, saw that Li Gouzi was young and sighed at his young age, and his old lady laughed, and asked: "How old are you, just sigh this and sigh that, you are young, old-fashioned, this is not like you, what?" Is it to blame that the king didn't do what he said, and he will marry you a daughter-in-law when he returns to Kaiyuan? ”
Li Gouzi scratched his head after hearing this, and said with some embarrassment.
"Your Highness is making fun of the little one again, the little one is still young now, it's too early to marry a daughter-in-law, and besides, the little one can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law now."
After Zhu Song heard this, he kicked Li Gouzi's ass.
"Okay, you stinky boy, you think this king gave you less reward last time, right?"
Li Gouzi covered his ass and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness's small one didn't say that His Highness's reward is less, the small one thinks so, in the future, the little one wants to marry a daughter-in-law, and he must marry a white and fat daughter-in-law, and his ass can give birth to a child, so it's good to give birth!" ”
