Lin Che was officially appointed as the crown prince and prince, and others can call him the same, but as the prince, he can no longer be called Mr.

"yes, to the point."

Lin Che nodded in affirmation:

"Since ancient times, it has been necessary to restrict business activities because of the bad image of businessmen in people's minds."

"If you want to do business, you must carry out a special market designated by the imperial court, such as the east and west markets in Chang'an City in the Western Han Dynasty, which continued until the Song Dynasty began to allow free stalls, unlike the Han and Tang dynasties, which strictly regulated shops, types of transactions and trading hours."

"The economic prosperity of the Song Dynasty fattened a group of big merchants, when wealth can no longer satisfy merchants."

"It has caused chaos in which businessmen began to enter the ranks, as well as official positions with clear prices."

Hear this.

Not only was the Zhu family's face unhappy and their brows tightened, but even Xu Miaoyun pursed her red lips and showed a gloomy face.

In the first year of Song Yingzong's reign, he once decreed: industrial and commercial miscellaneous, there are geniuses and strangers, and they also listen to the explanation.

It opened the door for businessmen to enter the official career, opened the channel for wealthy businessmen to enter the official career, and also provided support for the rationality of the existence of businessmen and officials.

As a businessman, what you do is bound to be conducive to business development.

After the businessmen came into contact with the shopping mall, in order to form gangs, more businessmen were able to enter the officialdom with this spring breeze.

The corresponding phenomenon of buying officials is more prominent, Zhezong Yuanfu three years, the official position is clearly marked out, 6,000 yuan, 4,500 yuan, 3,200 yuan.

By the time of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the phenomenon of buying and selling officials had almost replaced the imperial examination and became the easiest channel for promotion.

The squire and others were told on leave, which was dozens of times higher than in the past.

Businessmen began to enter the officialdom in large numbers, and also brought their mercenary intentions to the officialdom, turning the dark officialdom that was already sacrificing money for profit into a dark and dark vanity fair.

That's it.

Everyone unconsciously became heavy, put down the chopsticks in their hands, and lost the interest in eating.

"Once this businessman touches politics, he joins this game of power, and in the end, he will not end well."

Lin Che raised his chin and glanced at it, and suddenly said:

"If you go far, you will talk about Lu Buwei, and if you are closer, you will say that there is Shen Wansan, who has raided his house, and who has been exiled, it is already a blessing in misfortune if he is not beheaded."

"When a problem doesn't get a result, we have to look at the problem from a higher perspective."

Zhu Yuanzhang gulped down the boredom in his heart, did not interrupt without speaking, and waited quietly for the next word.

"What a merchant has is money, so what is money?"

Lin Chewaner, self-questioning and self-answering:

"Money is a tool."

"Whether it is an official businessman or a private businessman, to put it bluntly, a big businessman is just a bigger wallet."

"Politics is a game of power."

"Throughout the thousand-year history of China, it is not difficult for you to find an immutable law."

Lin Che took a sip of wine to moisten his throat:

"When money stands up and speaks, all truth is silent."

"But when the right stands up and speaks, the money becomes worthless."

"Some people may be rich enough to rival the country, just like Shen Wansan, who is rich in the world, but the emperor's words are enough to bankrupt his family."

"Ordinary people make the mistake of underestimating the power of money and not knowing how to amplify the power of money; However, some people make the mistake of valuing the power of money too much, and mistakenly regard the power of money as their own power. ”

Looking at the stunned Zhu Yuanzhang, Lin Che smiled:

"When money begins to play for power, it is itself a tiger skin, and the right to pile up money will inevitably collapse because of money."

"Let's take Shen Wansan as an example, it just so happens that Your Majesty is familiar with it, so it is convenient to understand it better."

Hear that.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, stopped talking, and nodded silently.

Regarding the handling of Shen Wansan, he thought that there was nothing wrong with him.

Although many people persuaded him, including Queen Ma, he still firmed up his judgment and was not affected by the outside world.

"The richest man in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan, is synonymous with being rich and rivaling the country..."

Lin Che raised his glass and gestured at Lao Zhu, signaling the other party not to be too nervous, and said leisurely:

"The Ming Dynasty established the dynasty, changed the Yuan Hongwu, and recaptured the Han people's country, but also took over a mess."

"How poor it was at the beginning of the dynasty, I won't repeat it here, you all know what's going on, it all depends on the base camp of Wu Land to support the operation of the huge empire."

"However, Shen Wansan, as the leading wealthy man in the south of the Yangtze River, has so much money that he panicked, and he had no place to spend it, so in order to please the emperor, he invested 10,000 taels of silver to build the Yingtian City Wall."

"Actually, from here on, Shen Wansan has already had the idea of trying to get his hands on power with money, but what he has done is not excessive, and he is in the stage of careful temptation."

After having a drink with Lao Zhu, Lin Che continued:

"Maybe it was because he tasted the sweetness that he couldn't recognize his identity clearly, and he even took out 10,000 taels of silver to reward the three armies on behalf of the emperor."

"What do you want?"

"You're a small businessman who wants to get support from the military?"

"If he cuts it with a knife, he won't be wronged."

As soon as this statement came out.

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief when he was amnesty, couldn't help but applaud the case, and said excitedly:

"Sir, righteousness!"

"That's what we thought at the time."

"If it weren't for my sister's repeated obstruction... We're going to have to chop his head off! ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget to raise his eyebrows at his wife, and said comfortably:

"Mr. doesn't know, not only in the Yingtian area, but everywhere he is generous, often a million taels."

"When we toured the south of the Yangtze River, he also accompanied the whole process, along the way our food, clothing, housing and transportation, all of them had to be dotted with silver, and the streets, bridges, shops, and gardens we saw along the way were basically built by him."

"Why did he show us these things?"

"The woman has long hair and short knowledge, Mr. Lin must be able to understand."

"Right?"

The words of showing off have not yet fallen, but I saw that Lao Zhu suddenly put on a mask of pain, and the Queen Ma on the side did not smile, her fingers pinched the skin and flesh of the other party's waist, and she was still exerting her strength slightly at the moment...

Looked at.

Lin Che couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, but he also took the couple without a problem.

It's really a thing down to a thing.

Such a relationship between the emperor and the queen is unique in ancient and modern times.

"Your Majesty is right."

"Shen Wansan has never been greedy for pleasure, but he is bent on favoring the city, and he has always won people's hearts everywhere, let alone his desire for power."

"Besides, he has also helped Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, who belong to a typical businessman's thinking, comprehensive investment, more flowering, nothing to do with faith, let alone camp, only interests in his mind, no matter who wins the world, he will not lose, and it doesn't matter if he can't defeat Yuangou."
