While Zhu Jianshen was amazed, he also had some hidden worries, if he let it develop, then the threat would increase day by day.

Even one day, there will be a trend that will not fall off the tail and force the imperial power!

Zhu Jianshen's heart burst out with murderous intent, but it quickly disappeared invisibly, he knew that the current businessmen could not threaten the imperial power at all, there was no need to be so anxious, and the treasury was not rich now, and the business tax was a big head, and he could not waste his martial arts.

Let it grow for a while, but you can't let it become a climate...... Zhu Jian pondered.

At this time, Shen Xin finished speaking, sobered up from his excitement, and bowed his head again, feeling apprehensive.

He vaguely sensed that the emperor would not punish him severely, but he was also afraid of fining him a few million taels again, he was really running out of money.

No matter how much it is fined, the funds will not be able to turn over.

Shen Xin snorted and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people's money is reflected in the industry, and the rest of the money is not ...... Not much. ”

Zhu Jianshen sneered and asked, "So, I wronged you for tax evasion?" ”

"Uh... The grass people have no ......," Shen Xin said, "The grass people did not deliberately evade taxes, it is estimated that the guys below did it without authorization, and after they go back, the grass people will be strictly investigated." ”

It is impossible for the emperor to be wrong, but Shen Xin did not dare to take this big sin, so he had to find a lame excuse.

Although the reason is lame, at least the surface is bright, and it did not insult the emperor, but also took himself out.

Zhu Jianshen didn't want to catch one and put it to death, as Li Qing said, the current Shen Xin is of great use to the Ming Dynasty, he can gather wool, but he can't slaughter it directly.

"Hmm... Go about your business. ”

"Yes, yes, the grass people obey." Shen Xin was overjoyed, this feeling of the rest of his life was so wonderful that he didn't even care about being fined three million taels of silver.

Compared with his life, anything can be compromised, and besides, three million taels is not enough to make him unable to live.

"The grass people are retired!"

Shen Xin knocked his head twice, got up tremblingly, took a few steps back, and turned around and exited the small courtyard.

As soon as he went out, he saw the brocade guards on both sides of the door, all of them with big shoulders and round waists, and he couldn't help but tremble, and nodded while walking.

I secretly swore in my heart: I can't mess with the court if I kill him!

"Your Majesty, how's it going?"

"Business does matter." Zhu Jianshen nodded, "I underestimate the importance of businessmen to Daming. ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "But just now the emperor had murderous intentions." ”

"Is there one? You read it wrong! Zhu Jianshen's heart suddenly sudden, but he didn't admit it.

Li Qing pursed his lips, but he didn't raise the bar with him, but said: "It is true that it is not all good for Daming to be a businessman, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be a big tail;

However, for now, Shang Jia is far from having such strong energy, and he asked the emperor not to give up food because of choking. ”

Zhu Jian was silent and said, "Born in sorrow, died in peace; It is necessary to take precautions, but what if the businessmen become bigger in the future?

When the wealth is large to a certain extent, I am afraid that most Ming officials will also use money to do things, and they can further transform into official careers! ”

"Hmm...... That's the reason. Li Qing nodded and said, "But this is based on the fact that the emperor can't be the master, as long as the emperor is in power, everything will not be a problem.

And the emperor needs money too, doesn't he? ”

Zhu Jianshen sighed and said, "I won't rush to move them, but if they show signs of threatening the imperial power, I won't be soft." ”

"Yes, you can." Li Qing has no opinion on this.

Zhu Jianshen saw that he was so good at talking this time, his face looked a lot better, and said, "Shi Heng, they are coming back soon, you should also prepare and come up with a charter." ”

After a pause, he added: "About business... In the short term, I will give that Shen Xin some convenience, so that he can pull ...... quickly."

Seeing that he forgot to speak, Li Qing added: "Domestic demand." ”

"Yes, after boosting domestic demand, I will strictly control it." Zhu Jianshen snorted, "Including the merchants and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, I will not let them grow savagely;

Shen Xin has not evaded taxes, not to mention, those landlords and old wealth in Jiangnan have evaded taxes nine out of nine. ”

This is a fact, they have been since the Jingtai period, and Zhu Qiyu also knows this, but he prefers to stabilize first, and at the same time, he is afraid that if he presses it too tightly and causes chaos.

However, after Zhu Qiyu's death, the commercial tax has shrunk further, and it is not one or two.

Li Qing naturally knew it, but in contrast, Li Qing wanted to maintain a good relationship between the monarch and the minister for a period of time, and there were more than 50,000 officials in the Ming Dynasty.

But we can't relax for too long, over the years, the Ming officials have gained a lot of benefits openly and secretly, and this mouth has to be tightened.

"Are you sure now?" Li Qing asked.

"I have it." Zhu Jianshen smiled confidently, "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to deal with the grassland tribe that is about to return." ”

Li Qing advised: "If you haven't established your prestige yet, don't be too strong." ”

"Don't worry, I know it." Zhu Jianshen asked rhetorically, "Have you ever seen me reckless?" ”

"At the beginning, I didn't know who was looking for his sweetheart in Beijing, that was in a hurry."

“…… That exception. Zhu Jianshen said with a dark face, "I have always been cautious about the situation, in short, you can rest assured that I will not act rashly." ”

Li Qing bowed slightly, he was very relieved about Zhu Jianshen, this guy was indeed calm enough.

"Then Shen Xin is estimated to come back in the evening, do you have something to ask me to bring to him?"

"Hint at him, let him feel at ease to do business, but don't give him too much face." Zhu Jianshen snorted, "I still hate merchants. ”

Li Qing nodded with a smile: "Okay, let you come today, the main thing is to let you understand the importance of business, nothing else, if the emperor has other things, go back first." ”

“…… You can really do it, everyone serves tea to guests, and you can't even afford to take out a glass of water. Zhu Jianshen teased: "Do you dare to be more stingy?" ”

Li Qing was speechless: "Okay, I'll go to the East Kitchen to scoop a scoop for you." ”

Zhu Jianshen's face was full of black lines: "Forget it, let's get rid of it." ”

"No, not inevitably." Li Qinghao said cheerfully, "You have to drink." ”

~

When Li Qing came out with a water scoop, Zhu Jianshen had already fled.

Li Qing shook his head and smiled, and drank his 'tons and tons', "Hmm... Compared with the royal mountain spring water, it is much worse. ”

He went back to his room and picked up a copy of "Water Margin", leaning on the recliner to pass the boring time.

In the evening, Shen Xin came to the door again.

This time, he didn't dare to ask Li Qing to help again, the money was going to come back, and he didn't plan to ask for it, he just wanted to turn the page quickly, so as not to let the emperor arrest him alone.

"Master Hou, you know, this business makes money, it takes a process." Shen Xin poured out bitterness, "From investment, building workshops, to recruiting workers, training workers, cultivating industrial supply, as well as production and sales...... How can I get back to my capital so quickly, I'm now... There's no money left. ”

As he spoke, he took out a large stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, all of which were silver tickets with a face value of one thousand taels, and the visual inspection was not less than fifty thousand taels.

"Master Hou's kindness to the grass people, the grass people have always remembered it." Shen Xin said with a smile, "A little respect, I hope that Hou Ye will not be disgusted." ”

Li Qing hesitated, accepted his heart, and said, "The truth that business does not fight with officials, I think Boss Shen should understand." ”

"The grass people understand." Shen Xin nodded.

Of course, he understands that if it weren't for the expansion, he wouldn't have ended up where he is today. óΠъ.oяＧ

Li Qingdao: "Let more people get benefits, is the value of your existence, and it is also the value of the existence of all businessmen; There's a word called harmony and wealth, well... Just do your own business, it's enough for you to earn, don't be too greedy. ”

"Yes, the grass people must follow the orders of the Hou Ye." Shen Xin nodded solemnly, and then sneered: "Master Hou, ...... the emperor over there?" ”

"I'll help you with your feelings." Li Qing promised, thought about it, and said, "There is one more thing you should keep in mind." ”

"Master Hou, please speak."

"Don't do business in Beijing." Li Qing said lightly, "At the foot of the Son of Heaven, where the temple is located, you are here to take the lead, even if you don't look for others, others will target you, the lesson of the last time must be remembered, being targeted by the big guy here is enough for you to drink a pot." ”

Shen Xin's heart sank, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The grass people remember." ”

"Hmm..."Li Qing sighed, "Go ahead, do your business well, don't get involved in political matters, if you really can't escape, you can write to me, I will help if you can." ”

After a pause, "But remember, I help you because you can bring benefits to the people." ”

"The grass people remember."

…

Li Qing continued to watch "Water Margin", but his mind flew to the future development of Daming.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, business has been very developed, and various industries have been completely driven, which can be said to have a good future, however, behind this great good, there are also hidden dangers.

Prosperity is in business, and hidden dangers are also in business.

In this era, the imperial court's control over the local area was not strong, not because it didn't want to, but because it couldn't do it.

The transmission of information is too slow, and the relationship between the local officials, gentry, and the people is also complicated, and it is impossible to effectively manage it as much as the fingers are directed.

With the rapid development of commerce, the voice of businessmen will also become larger and larger, which will inevitably affect the government and even threaten the imperial power.

This is also the reason why Li Qing does not refute Zhu Jianshen.

However, it is a pity to give up the development of business because of this, and it is very good for the people, and it can also provide high taxes.

This seems to be a dead knot, and no matter how you do it, there are drawbacks...... Li Qing pondered for a long time, but he never found a way to crack it.

"Human nature...... Li Qing sighed lightly: "Let's take a look at it again, if it really doesn't work, you can only use the simplest and rude way." ”

This is an idea that Li Qing has brewed countless times, but has overturned countless times.

Secretly cultivate a force subordinate to yourself, and use the method of physics to set things right!

But this practice is tantamount to rebellion, Li Qing does not have the idea of loyalty, what he is worried about is that if he does this, if he continues like this in the long run, will he let the successor of the Ming Dynasty lie flat.

Or, he became a big villain, and the court encircled and suppressed him at all costs, and finally evolved into a situation of falling in love and killing each other!
