Chapter 125: You Don't Understand the Truth

When Zhu Yunwen heard him say this, he paused in his steps to go, and frowned: "Is it so serious?" ”

"Of course!" Li Qing smiled bitterly: "What does it depend on for the prosperity of various industries now?" It's the ocean trade! ”

"Everything is revolving around the ocean, which has created such a situation, and once this opening is tightened, everyone will inevitably have nothing to earn." Li Qing sighed.

Zhu Yunwen hesitated and said: "Jinling business is difficult to do, because there is a huge rich person like Shen Xin, and other places should not be so difficult, right?" ”

"That's true in theory, but it's not." Li Qing said tiredly, "The fact is that the rich places are greatly affected, and the poor places are even poorer. ”

Zhu Yunwen was not in a hurry to leave, turned around and sat down, and asked, "Senior brother, do you have any way?" ”

Li Qing also sat down, thought for a while, and said, "Pull internal needs." Originally, according to my plan, as the maritime trade continued, the people became richer and richer, and they could drive domestic demand without deliberate guidance;

But now...... When the little emperor sees the money, he bites down seventy percent, and the market will shrink rapidly. Li Qing took a sip of tea, his face full of helplessness, "The little emperor is very stubborn in this matter, and he doesn't listen to me!" ”

Zhang sloppy put down the ceremony and said quietly: "It is reasonable that he doesn't listen, your method is more beneficial to the rich gentry, once it grows up, the imperial power will be greatly hollowed out;

People are emperors, so they naturally have to start from their own point of view. ”

"I have considered this and have made a series of countermeasures." Li Qing said.

Zhang sneered: "But the safest way is not to do that, and directly eliminate the risk from the root." ”

Li Qing was speechless, and this was indeed the case.

Zhu Yunwen groaned: "Can you compromise?" ”

"Yes, a compromise is a concession." Li Qingdao, "Implement the strategy of rich gentry production, imperial court procurement and sales, give part of the profits to the rich gentry, and let the industry continue, which is the case with Shen Xin at present, but the emperor is unwilling to promote it in all aspects." ”

"Why?"

"Because of the money." Li Qing said with a smile, "If he wanted to make a profit, he wouldn't have eaten seven percent in one bite before, this is an unsolvable problem." ”

Zhang Sloppy disagreed: "Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with this, as you said, the current prosperity is supported by maritime trade, and it is not the performance that the Ming Dynasty should have." ”

"Huh? This ......," Li Qing wondered, "How do you say that?" ”

"This is relying on others, not Daming's own." Zhang said sloppily: "As the saying goes, relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to run, relying on no one is better than relying on yourself, the little emperor is just returning to the essence, don't take false prosperity as eternal." ”

You're too outdated...... Li Qing didn't dare to say it.

Zhu Yun shook his head and said: "Don't say it, when Master says this, I also think so, it's better to rely on someone than on yourself." ”

You two-faced guy with three knives, in the past, the front foot listened to me, and the back foot listened to Qi Fanghuang, and there was no backbone at all...... Li Qing complained about the master and apprentice in his heart.

"Qingzi, don't worry too much, the sea trade has only redivided the market share, and it is not a complete ban on the sea, how can it be as serious as you said." Zhang stretched his waist sloppily, "As long as the overseas demand does not decrease, the supply of Daming will keep up, and as long as the supply keeps up, the industry will not be affected." ”

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly: "Don't say it, Master, you say that......

Belch... How did you become a junior brother? Li Qing changed his words and said: "There is a little truth. ”

"Just a little?"

"Just a little." Li Qing nodded and analyzed: "The total amount has not changed, but the market is chaotic, you don't understand the Tao at all, I'll tell you...... Oh, why are you beating people? ”

Zhang sloppily snorted and got up, and said, "Come on, come here, come and practice for the teacher." ”

“

 Look at you, I'll tell you a few words of truth, why are you still in a hurry? ”

"Who's in a hurry?"

"No, no one." Li Qing hurriedly made amends, and then pulled Zhu Yunwen and walked out, "Senior brother, let me tell you, some industries can be thrown, some industries can't be thrown, you don't understand the Tao of this......"

"Senior brother, senior brother, slow down, I'm old, I can't compare with you." Zhu Yunwen said breathlessly.

"Didn't you see that Master was going to beat me?" Li Qing spoke very quickly, "You haven't been beaten, you don't understand the way of this." ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly: "I don't understand the Tao, but the master is beating you, and it's useless for you to pull me." ”

"I'm not trying to use you to awaken his elder love." Li Qing said as he looked behind him and saw that the little old man was not chasing, so he stopped.

You're really my brother...... Zhu Yunwen gasped for a while.

"Senior brother, I'm not the same person I used to be, but I can't stand your toss like this."

Li Qing said stupidly: "You, you still have to practice, senior brother, this is to exercise your body, for your sake." ”

“

 I'm seventy. Zhu Yunwen's face was full of black lines, and he walked to the side of the stone bench and sat down on crutches, "Senior brother, do you really want to sell most of the industry?" ”

"Throw it away." Li Qingdao said, "Just leave a few good restaurants and shops, and the rest will be thrown away, and it's still too late to sell now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it if I want to buy it in the future." ”

"Come on." Zhu Yunwen sighed, "Senior brother, do you have a way to stimulate domestic demand?" ”

"It's hard!" Li Qing sighed, "For a long time, the people have been struggling to survive, so storing food and saving money is a concept engraved in the bones;

If the private maritime trade continues, this idea will be diluted over time;

For example, in the past two years, Shen Xin has thrown money on a large scale, and the people have earned money, and they will be willing to take out a small part to improve their lives, and then take out a small part to add some things, but this proportion will not exceed half. ”

Zhu Yunwen continued: "Senior brother means that if the people earn less, the expenses will naturally be locked, which will lead to the recession of various industries?" ”

"That's it." Li Qing nodded: "Actually, what the master said has some truth, but the problem is that the entry of the imperial court into the bureau is not the same thing as the free development of the people;

The people's fear of the government is far greater than their trust, and the people do not fight with the officials, nor do they want to be involved with the officials, this concept is also deeply rooted in the bone marrow and difficult to change. ”

Zhu Yunwen scratched his hair: "Why is he so stingy?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Speaking of this, Li Qing was also angry, but he could understand it somewhat.

-- Financial power is an important part of imperial power.

"Alas...... If that's the case, it's just that, the Ming Dynasty is not short of food now, and there is no ban on maritime trade, the impact of his doing so is not too big, it is nothing more than a decline in the quality of life of the people and a downturn in the economy. Li Qing sighed, "The problem is that the people are simple, but the rich gentry are not fuel-efficient lamps, especially the official gentry." ”

"Mess up again?" Zhu Yunwen asked.

"Inevitably." Li Qing nodded: "But I can't say what the specific mess is." ”

Zhu Yunwen's snow-white brows were twisted together, and his old face full of ravines was wrinkled into rags.

"Don't worry." Li Qing patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "It's not your heart, you are a common people, and you are not the emperor." ”

The corners of Zhu Yunwen's mouth twitched, indicating that he was comforted.

Midday.

When Li Hong came, Li Qing picked up his godson and made love for a while, and took out the prepared gift from his arms.

"Well, I'll give you this."

"Thank you, godfather." The little guy was very happy, but at the same time a little curious, "Godfather, what is this?" ”

"In the north, it's called Bingyu, and if you whip it on the ice, it will spin." Li Qing explained, "It is also called an ice spinning top. ”

When Li Qing left Beijing, he saw a child playing with this, which immediately awakened his childhood memories, so he bought one for the little one.

"But we don't have any ice here." The little one is a little lost.

"You can play on a flat floor." Li Qing smiled, "Godfather will teach you in a while." ”

"yes, okay."




After lunch, Li Qing played with the little guy for half an hour, basically he was playing, and his godson was cheering on the side.

The child slept a lot, and he was sleepy after not playing for long, so he slept in Li Qing's room nearby. gōΠb.ōγg

Li Qing was tired enough to run around this way, and he wanted to lie down and rest, but was called out by Zhang Sloppy.

The little old man was too vindictive, and when he arrived, Li Qing didn't escape a beating.





Next.

Li Qing went to the Weaving Bureau and called Xiao Liuzi to rush to the Shen Mansion together.

In the past two years, Xiao Liuzi has lived a very good life, he is in charge of the weaving bureau, and a little greed is enough for him to eat and drink, not to mention Shen Xin's filial piety.

This guy is really a little happy, and he doesn't even yearn for the eunuch Bingbi so much.

In Jinling, a prosperous and money-making place, it is much more comfortable than intrigue in the palace and pleasing the superiors, and every day is enjoyable, which is not too cool.

In the palace, with his status and status, he has to be waisted when he sees anyone, but it is different in the place, not to mention walking sideways, but few people dare to provoke.

In the past two years, people have gained dozens of pounds.

on the carriage.

"Our family can have today, relying on Master Li." Xiao Liuzi was very grateful to Li Qing, took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "A little heart, I hope that the adults will not refuse." ”

Li Qing swept his eyes, they were all silver tickets with a face value of 1,000 taels.

smiled: "It seems that my father-in-law is very moisturized in Jinling!" ”

"Hey...... The blessing of Dragging Lord Li is okay, it's okay. Xiao Liuzi's eyes are already small, and this smile, the fat on his face is squeezed into a slit, which is quite festive.

Li Qing did not refuse, in the officialdom, if people show favor to you and don't accept it, others will not only think that you are saving for others, but think that you don't buy it.

The oil and water of the Weaving Bureau is not ordinarily large, and with Shen Xin, a rich man, this guy must have made a lot of money.

Seeing that Li Qing was willing to accept it, Xiao Liuzi was even more happy, which showed that the other party accepted him.

Li Qing put away the money and looked like he was digging his heart: "Those fathers-in-law of the celebrant are all greedy for you, and they all pat the emperor's ass, sharpen their heads and want to come to Jinling." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Liuzi suddenly became nervous, "They are coming too?" ”

"Don't worry, father-in-law, we have been dealing for so long, how can I not speak for you?" Li Qing said with a smile.

"Oh, my lord." Xiao Liuzi was even more grateful, and reached into his arms, but he felt lonely, and the intention to prepare was taken out in one go, and there was no spare.

Smiled dryly: "What, tonight, adults enjoy the light?" ”

"Huh?" Li Qing waved his hand and said, "The official is not short of money, and the meaning will be fulfilled when it arrives, but I don't mean that." ”

After a pause, "This official has heartfelt words, I don't know if my father-in-law is willing to listen to it?" ”

"I want to hear about it." Xiao Liuzi nodded hurriedly, feeling that it was not respectful enough, and added, "Please teach me." ”

Li Qingdao said: "The Weaving Bureau is a fat poor, everyone knows this, if my father-in-law wants to work here all the time, he has to do a good job.

This interception, there must be a degree, there are many people who find fault with you, father-in-law, don't you say? ”

There is almost no one in officialdom who is not greedy, including eunuchs, of course, this kind of atmosphere has always existed, and it is not only the Ming dynasty.

This is the default rule of all people, and it is also the so-called light and dust.

Li Qing is powerless to change this, and there are also officials who have clean sleeves and do not take a penny, but the few are pitiful, less than one in ten.

The atmosphere is like this, Li Qing can't say bluntly not to let Xiao Liuzi be greedy, even if he says it, it has no effect, it can only make him have a sense of awe and be less greedy.

Xiao Liuzi nodded slowly: "What the adults said is that those rabbit cubs just can't see the good of the masters, mothers, bastards with small bellies and chicken intestines." ”

After a pause, he promised: "Don't worry, my lord, our family knows the severity, and it will never be excessive, just ......"

Li Qing smiled and said: "The emperor is wise, he will naturally know if you do a good job." ”

"Hey." Xiao Liuzi nodded and said with a sneer, "Please also ask for a lot of kind words from adults." ”

"If you need to help, I'll help you." Li Qing said with a smile.

But there is a bitter smile in his heart, he has been in the limelight for several dynasties, but there are many things, and he has nothing to do.
