The emperor summoned his ministers.

Although they all have to enter the palace, the location of each interview is not exactly the same, but the harem is a forbidden area... so there is no need to think about such a good thing.

Summer is not gone yet.

Even though the sunset is approaching, you can't feel too much coolness.

Zhu Di's eyes kept wandering around Wang Siqi's body. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Why don't you study and get a reputation?"

"Returning to the emperor, I feel that there is no hope."

"So what's going on with Baoyuan Bureau now? Do you want to tell me that you are an incompetent person who only knows how to use violence?"

"When I came back to the emperor, I didn't take any action. Xu Min was an upright and upright person who invited me to the Baoyuan Bureau. Everyone on the road knows about this."

"I've given you the treasure banknote promotion department, what are you going to do?"

As soon as this question came out, Zhu Gaochi frowned. In fact, this was something he had been very curious about for a long time, that is, the Baoyuan Bureau, which was now larger than before, did not seem to be affected by Wang Siqi's arrival.

And there are too many changes.

Wang Siqi heard Zhu Di ask.

He explained calmly: "A country's money is the cornerstone of a country's economy. Since it is the cornerstone, it naturally doesn't need to be changed much."

"No need to change?"

Zhu Di's gaze turned cold when he looked at Wang Siqi, and his words also brought a bit of chill, saying: "Do you know that I asked you to go to Baoyuan Bureau not to let you do business in peace and quiet, but to let you do business in peace and quiet?

Get me some money."

"Now, you tell me...not to move?"

"If you don't move, do you have money?"

"have!"

"Where does it come from?"

"From the hustle and bustle of this world, from the common people of this world, from the rich merchants of this world, from the thousands of miles of overseas countries!"

Wang Siqi's words were so resounding that Zhu Gaochi on the side couldn't help but marvel, and became even more determined that he had found a useful talent.

"Hahaha! Then you have to tell me that up to now... all you have done is to build a winery in the capital and rent a few shops to sell wine... Is the money you are talking about

Is that all?"

Zhu Di's rhetorical question came quickly.

Wang Siqi already had a response in his heart and immediately said: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about who is the richest person in the world today?"

Zhu Di subconsciously said: "Isn't it my treasury?"

"No! But those merchants, landlords, wealthy households, and clans scattered throughout the Ming Dynasty are the richest. What will they do when they get rich?"

"Or use the money to purchase more land, causing large-scale land annexation, which will eventually cause indelible cancer to the Ming Dynasty!"

"Or the money is used for pleasure. This can be seen from the fact that Canghua Pavilion and Baoyuan Aging Brewing have earned more than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the capital in a short period of time!"

"And they will never use it to innovate technology or invest!"

"Innovative technology?"

"Yes! Your Majesty...the future world, the future...everything will be centered on technology and craftsmen with craftsmanship."

"Only they hold innovation and technology in their hands..."

"For example, if Ming Dynasty did not have so many craftsmen, would Ming Dynasty still have so much sophisticated equipment, and would it still have powerful naval forces that shocked the world? Behind all of this, the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty are working silently.

But now the treatment of Ming craftsmen is the lowest!"

"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce!"

"The development of Ming Dynasty cannot be achieved without anyone!"

Wang Siqi's words made Zhu Di fall into a long period of self-doubt, and he seemed a little surprised.

"But since our ancestors, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty have lived like this and worked like this... and nothing has ever happened to them? Isn't this enough to prove that this method is right? Furthermore... I want to improve.

The treatment of a craftsman, doesn’t it cost money?”

What he said, both inside and outside, still couldn't get around the money.

Wang Siqi also knows that from the founder of the country, Lao Zhu, to the current Zhu Di... there is actually a key factor that cannot be avoided, that is, lack of money.

Due to the imperial tax system's connivance on scholars, it not only affected the Ming Dynasty's current tax revenue, but also caused disaster in the future.

"Change starts today!"

"Okay! I understand. You are not as straightforward as your father Wang You. You go around so much in your words, so you are just talking about me!"

Zhu Di looked very unhappy, but only Zhu Di knew that the boy in front of him was really a rare talent in the Ming Dynasty.

She was silently thinking about what would happen if she really married Chang Ning to Wang Siqi.

How maneuverable...is it?

...

He left Zhu Di and walked on the way to the East Palace.

In fact, Wang Siqi was walking, and Zhu Gaochi could only sit on the ceremonial guard carried by four people. He looked at Wang Siqi and said: "Master Wang...are what you said today true? Is it possible to fill the Ming Dynasty's treasury?"

Do we have to let the imperial court do business?"

"why not?"

Zhu Gaochi was silent for a long time, and then said again: "But the imperial court has now controlled salt and iron. If he interferes in private business... he will inevitably be said by the censors to be competing for profits with the people!"

Wang Siqi shook his head.

Among the imperial censors of the Ming Dynasty, there could be a few with clean butts.

Then he said: "It is not necessarily a good thing that many businesses are completely handed over to private merchants, and who says that the business done by the imperial court can only be done by the imperial court alone?"

"The Baoyuan Aged Wine produced by Baoyuan Bureau today is just an ordinary wine among the world's famous wines, and it is also named after Baoyuan Bureau!"

"Does this mean the imperial court is also doing business?"

"After all, every cent of the money earned was kept in the Baoyuan Bureau, but in the end it was all spent through other methods."

...

Zhu Gaochi was a little confused, but he continued to ask: "What other businesses can the imperial court do? Is it just wine?"

"You will always find it..."

"Your Highness, doing business is not as simple as it seems on the surface... For example, the Baoyuan Winery opened by me... although on the surface it makes money by selling wine."

"But actually for the Ming Dynasty... just this one more business has benefited the wine sellers, grain sellers, distiller's grain sellers, carriage drivers, and countless other businesses up and down.

"

"Did these benefits ever exist before the emergence of Baoyuan Winery?"

....After finishing speaking, Wang Siqi saw that Zhu Gaochi was deep in thought. After saying goodbye, he turned around and came out of the palace.
