Looking at Xiao Xiao Zhu's sleeping soundly, Lao Zhu said, "The strong and weak branches are strong. Our emperor after the Ming Dynasty, the prince is strong. The royal family will feel a little aggrieved. I guess it's just like the nobles."
"You can't say that if the nobles are in power, they will be more powerful than most royal families." Zhu Yunyou smiled and said to Lao Zhu, "The royal families are somewhat richer. If there are some promising children, it is indeed easier to survive."
This is probably true. What the royal family should be prepared for is definitely need to be prepared. However, there is no problem with the royal family having to make a little effort. After all, Zhu Yunyou does not intend to completely raise the royal family as a pig now.
Although Lao Zhu felt a little uncomfortable, he could only endure it.
It is not only because Lao Zhu is partial to the eldest son, but also because Lao Zhu really values the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty.
As long as the Ming Dynasty was stable, many things would naturally be easy to say. What's more, even if the Ming Dynasty royal family seemed to have reduced their treatment a lot, they were still rich and noble on earth. Lao Zhu actually didn't need to worry too much.
Zhu Yunyou picked up the pillow for Lao Zhu and leaned it on, and continued, "My grandson is now preparing to make changes to the Maritime Bureau. He is also thinking about the benefits of our Ming Dynasty to control some of the advantages of the superiors. We should control the overall situation."
Lao Zhu smiled and nodded and said, "We also know these truths. There are many good things in Nanyang. There are more goods to enter our Ming Dynasty, so our Ming people will only have more supplies. If we control it, the price is naturally up to us, and it is also a monopoly of salt and iron."
Not only is it a salt and iron monopoly, but the Ming Dynasty’s tea is also a strategic material. Selling it to a foreign country requires the court to decide.
"Yes, many things are owned by our Ming Dynasty, and they may not necessarily be produced by the Southeast Asian country." Zhu Yunyou smiled and said to Lao Zhu, "It's just that there are a lot of things coming from Southeast Asian country. If we control them, we naturally have the final say. We can ignore some things, and ordinary people should use them. But some things cannot be sold cheaply."
Old Zhu laughed and suddenly said, "The people below should say that you are competing for profit with the people."
"Don't say anything about those individuals. Our court controls the Maritime Bureau. What to enter, what to pay, and what price to set is naturally the court's final decision. Such benefits are the greatest." Zhu Yunyou didn't care and said to Lao Zhu, "The court should coordinate the overall situation and share some benefits, so we naturally don't care."
There is actually no question of competing for profit with the people. Zhu Yunyou just controlled the upstream. He just set the market rules, and the court just needed to control them.
Zhu Yunyou grinned at Old Zhu and said, "As for those people who say they compete for profit with the people, we don't care. We know what kind of people say they are benevolence, righteousness and morality. Below, the children of the family, or the servants, do a lot of business business."
Lao Zhu also sneered and said, "That's the reason, those people want to be honest. While saying that business business is full of money, they are running shops to make money. There are many such officials and scholars."
Isn't this the truth? Not only did it have such characteristics in the Ming Dynasty, but it was not much better than ever in all dynasties. There are white gloves or agents in the family, and those people want both inner and face.
Zhu Yunyou continued, "Our mind is very simple, and we actually know that nowadays, many merchants and gentry went out privately to sea. Our Ming navy was able to catch it, kill what should be killed, and punish what should be punished. Our Ming navy did not say that we inspected the coastal defense, but also brought some good things back. We have to control this rule."
Lao Zhu suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, we remember that there are many prison troops in the Governor's Office who helped us transport a lot of good things, all of which were given to the Maritime Department, the Ministry of Revenue, our Imperial Village, and the treasury. Isn't this navy working hard, so there is no benefit?"
Zhu Yunyou said firmly and directly, "Sunsen will not let the army do business. It is not a good thing for those people to make money. Either they have no intention of marching again, or they are easily able to grow by themselves with money in their hands."
Lao Zhu thought that the same was true. It is not a bad thing for the garrison to farm on its own, but it would be out of business.
Xiao Zhu still has a lot of thoughts and ideas, and he does have some taboos in some things. Perhaps because of some things, Zhu Yunyou saw them, fearing that the course of the Ming Dynasty's ship was not particularly correct.
"Sun's actually thought that our Ming Dynasty court only controls the overall situation, and those merchants and gentry can also share some benefits." Zhu Yun was so thief and said to Lao Zhu, "We have a source of goods, and those people will be controlled by us in the future. Let the royal family follow our order, one is afraid of any prohibited things, and the other is that some people have shallow eyes and sell good things to a low price."
This is definitely what Zhu Yunyou said in his heart, mainly price wars and other things. Now we have to pay attention to control it.
The profits of the sea trade are indeed very high, so naturally there are quite a risk. Many people think about making more money, the more they make, the better. If you have the goods in your hands, you may not have to keep them. The rare goods are available, and you can also have them "dumping at low prices".
As for the confusion in the market, it has nothing to do with them, as long as you make a lot of money in your own house.
Old Zhu looked at Xiao Zhu proudly and said, "If we don't talk about our grandson, we can't keep up with our grandson's vision."
Zhu Yunyou was also happy, but he still had to ask, "Grandpa Emperor, are you saying that your grandson has a high vision and a low talent, but only knows how to be high?"
Lao Zhu smiled but didn't say anything, probably because he had such a thought. But it wasn't enough to say that Xiao Zhu was just a little arrogant. Lao Zhu thought that his grandson prefers big layout and formulates some big strategies.
Some "small things" are actually a bit disliked by Lao Zhu's baby grandson.
It may not be that I just don’t like it. It is very likely that I just want to be lazy and want to save some time at this time.
"Grandpa, grandson, is actually thinking that it is our bank." Zhu Yunyou, who was proud, spoke up and said, "The huge benefit of sea trade is controlled by our court. The royal family and nobles tied us up, and those gentry and merchants also had to deal with us. They would not accept our bank."
Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, pointed at Zhu Yunyou and said, "We originally thought that you had some help, but now it seems that we still underestimate you. You kid, you like to take three steps in one step!"
Zhu Yunyou couldn't help laughing. This was definitely a compliment, and he would definitely not object to such a statement!
