Zhu Qizhen pondered Li Qing's words and was silent for a long time.

Li Qing didn't continue, the words have been finished, and it depends on Zhu Qizhen himself to do what to do.

He can only make ideas, and the last person to make the decision can only be Zhu Qizhen.

The hall fell silent, and both the monarch and the minister were silent.

After a long time, Zhu Qizhen sighed faintly, and said lightly: "Starting from the position of the Daming Jiangshan Sheji, that Shen Xin, I will get him sooner or later, your so-called capital system, as well as all-round industrialization, will most likely not happen, and I will not allow it to grow." ”

Zhu Qizhen's tone was firm: "Sir, I may think that I am very selfish, but any emperor with a normal brain would not allow that kind of situation to happen." ”

Li Qing was silent for a moment and asked, "The emperor is still afraid that capital will force the imperial power, right?" ”

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's inevitable." Zhu Qizhen said, "Human nature is greedy, the world will never be satisfied, don't say your so-called capital, take the existing official gentry, Manchu officials for example, which of them is content with the status quo?"

Let them grow savagely, and over time, the court will definitely not be able to stand it. ”

Li Qing was speechless.

"What is the emperor going to do?"

"Listen to Mr. this time." Zhu Qizhen said, "As you said, the advantages of contracting to individuals outweigh the disadvantages, and I will not do anything to kill chickens and take eggs;

You can rest assured, even if I get Shen Xin in the future, it will be based on the premise that it will not affect the people and the various industries of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's assurance, Li Qing felt much more comfortable, and at the same time, he was also a little apologetic.

It can be said that Shen Xin's future fate is already doomed.

The ultimate fate is still to be harvested.

Li Qing pondered for a long time and sighed: "The minister has a reluctant request. ”

"Sir, please." Zhu Qizhen took a sip of tea and bowed slightly.

"When the day comes, let's spare him." Li Qingdao said, "After all, these things he did were beneficial to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded: "This I can promise you, as long as it is not an unforgivable crime such as rebellion, I will not kill him." ”

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How much money is the emperor going to approve?" ”

"Approve money?" Zhu Qizhen was surprised, "What kind of money?" ”gōΠb.ōγg

“…… Naturally, it's the money to buy goods! Li Qingdao said, "A few years ago, didn't Shen Xin settle the account, millions of taels of silver have gone into the treasury!" ”

"That's the thing." Zhu Qizhen did not deny it, "But the money is used for emergencies and cannot be moved." ”

Li Qingren was stupid, "Just ...... Dry robbery? ”

"Look at what you're talking about, am I such a tasteless person?" Zhu Qizhen glared at him and snorted: "That Shen Xin can owe money to the imperial court, can't the imperial court owe him money?"

As the saying goes: come and don't be rude; It makes sense for me to do that. ”

"So ......?"

"On credit!" Zhu Qizhen straightened his waist and was quite proud.

Li Qing didn't know what to say, he could see that the money that had entered Zhu Qizhen's pocket was difficult to take out again.

This guy belongs to Pixiu, and he only enters and does not leave.

"Your Majesty, Shen Xin's funds are relatively tight now, and he doesn't give any cash, if he relies purely on credit, he ...... It's too hard. Li Qingdu had a headache for Shen Xin.

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "In this way, I am not an unkind person, and part of the account is used to offset the taxes of his maritime trade, so as to relieve his financial pressure." ”

"That's it...... Or don't pay for it? Li Qing asked.

"Sir, you have to understand me, it's not that I pick the door, but that I have to take precautions." Zhu Qizhen said with a straight face, "This time, I cut the flesh on the big gentry and gentry a little hard, they won't stop like this all the time, I want to keep some reserve money." ”

You're cutting a little hard, you're only cutting bones...... Li Qing said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you have a little bit of it, don't talk about it, as far as I know in the past two years, the inner hall has at least five million taels or more;

The inner hall is richer than the treasury, and it is not a little bit. Li Qing said angrily, "Your Majesty, don't cry poor, this is a well-known thing." ”

"Alas...... If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home, the cost of the palace is also very large! ”

Don't talk about calves, the cost of the palace is big, but it's far from spending so much, after the Yongle Dynasty cut the domain for the second time, the use of the vassal royal clan has been cut by half, and a large part of it is from the treasury, how much can you spend?

"You're a little bit out of it." Li Qing said.

"There's no money." Zhu Qizhen spread his hands, "The money from the Baoyuan Bureau can't be spent directly, I still have to build it in, there is still a family to support in the palace, where do you let me get the money?" ”

After a pause, "Then let's get a discount, and when the purchased goods go to sea and sell for money, I will pay off the bill as soon as possible, right?" ”

Li Qing was speechless, and teased: "You call this a compromise? ”

Zhu Qizhen broke the jar and broke it: "Then if you want to think like this, I can't help it." ”

Look, what kind of scumbag quote is this?!

Li Qing didn't ask for anything except a promise.

However, he didn't run in vain, at least Zhu Qizhen agreed with his strategy.

Back in Jinling, Li Qing went to Shen Mansion as soon as possible.

"What? Credit?! ”

Shen Xin almost broke the defense, "My lord, the emperor is sitting on the four seas, he can't afford to pay this little money, right?" ”

"The imperial court has the difficulties of the imperial court, you understand." Li Qingdao said, "I won't owe you too long, this is already the biggest benefit I have won for you, be content." ”

Shen Xin smiled bitterly and nodded: "I understand the reason, it's just ...... Can the court come to something practical? ”

From the very beginning, the court did not exert its strength, and it was he who rushed to the front from beginning to end, and then the court sat and reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

has been painting him a big pie and has never given him substantial benefits.

I ate too much flatbread, and I choked on it!

However, Shen Xin is now trapped, he has no choice, he can only follow Li Qing's method and follow the emperor all the way to the end, as for the end, he has no bottom in his heart.

Shen Xin sighed and asked, "My lord, after the return of the imperial court's treasure ship, do you really settle the accounts as soon as possible?" ”

"That's nature." Li Qing nodded, "The Son of Heaven is a man of his word, how can he break his word and get fat?" ”

"That's good, that's good." Shen Xin felt a lot better, and now he could only trust the court and the emperor.

Li Qing said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will bring the sixth father-in-law of the Weaving Bureau, we will discuss the handover of the goods, and plan the follow-up development direction by the way, you can rest assured, the court will not be repaid." ”

After a pause, I couldn't help but wake up: "Don't take too big steps, let alone be ambitious, down-to-earth is the right way." ”

Shen Xin was stunned and nodded thoughtfully: "Grass people remember." ”

Li Qing didn't know if he listened specifically or not, but he had reached the limit of what he could do, and as for how Shen Xin walked in the future, he couldn't control it.

Zhu Mansion.

The master and apprentice drank tea and read books, Zhang Sloppy read the "Yongle Canon", and Zhu Yunwen read the account book.

The two basked in the sun and chatted from time to time, but they were also leisurely and comfortable.

"Master, junior brother, I'm back."

Hearing Li Qing's voice, Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up with a cane on the side, Zhang was sloppy and calmed down, and continued to read the dictionary without raising his head.

"Come back, come back, what are you yelling about?" Zhang muttered sloppily, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

After a while, Li Qing came over and said with a smile: "I can't imagine it, it only took me twenty days to come back." ”

"It was really unexpected." Zhu Yunwen smiled and nodded, "Twenty days back and forth between the north and the south of Zhili, even if you don't eat, drink or sleep, it is difficult for ordinary people to do it, senior brother is amazing;

By the way, what the senior brother wants to do has been done? ”

"Sort of." Li Qing complained, "The emperor slammed the door tightly, and I tried my best to make it happen." ”

"It's good that the results are good." Zhu Yunwen smiled, "Senior brother will sit with the master for a while, and I will explain some things to the housekeeper." ”

Li Qing caught a glimpse of the account book in his hand and asked, "Is there a problem in business?" ”

"Not really." Zhu Yunwen shook his head and explained: "Now that the private maritime trade is sluggish, Shen Xin has made adjustments and began to work hard, we have also been affected, and the business is not as good as before, so I have to make adjustments." ”

Li Qing became interested, "How to adjust?" ”

"It's nothing." Zhu Yunwen said with a smile, "It's nothing more than reducing expenses, abandoning some shops that are not very profitable, and leaving high-quality industries." ”

"It's the right thing to do, you sell more, cash flow is king." Li Qing nodded: "This is just the beginning, at the latest in the second half of the year, you will know how difficult it is to do business." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel worried, it was difficult to do business in Jinling.

Zhu Qizhen is doing this, the rich gentry in the world are not implicated, such a big interest dispute, Rao is Li Qing is used to seeing the wind and waves, and he can't help but be big.

Future...... It is not destined to be peaceful.
