Although some people don’t like Chen Tong’s words, they at least agree with them.

After all, grain tax is limited, and the proportion of the income of the treasury and industry and commerce is getting bigger and bigger. In recent years, the annual income of the treasury has increased, but the spending is still fast. It does not mean that in the past, I could have spent 3 million taels of silver, but now, I have spent 30 million taels of silver, but I still spent 3 million taels of silver.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, but it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance. If the industry and commerce are gone, what will the court do?

Chen Tong sighed here and said, "Industry and commerce are already related to the foundation of the country. His Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince, and the Duke of Qi is even more at the same time. It is of great importance. This is also why His Highness the Crown Prince and Duke of Qi have the intention to establish Xingguo Business. It is just... how to ensure the risks caused by industrial and commercialization, and how to control merchants and workshops? His Highness and Duke of Qi are wise. They have thought of a solution, that is, this Xingguo Business."

The monarch and ministers had different thoughts, but they did not speak at this time and continued to listen.

Chen Tong continued to talk: "Use this Xingguo Business Name to become the largest intermediary, and use orders to constrain workshops, ensure that they cannot use inferior products as good products, and also ensure that they have stable returns.

After controlling the workshop, you can turn your head and use the source of hand injuries to control the merchants, and then use the merchants to open up channels.

The ultimate goal is that all merchants and workshops are under the control of Xingguo Business. Merchants need to abide by the standards set by Xingguo Business in order to easily earn money. Xingguo Business again encourages merchants to continuously expand channels and revitalize industry and commerce. In this way, not only Xingguo Business can make profits, but for the court, industry and commerce can be orderly without causing any chaos. Most merchants follow His Royal Highness the Prince and share the same friendship with His Royal Highness. Isn’t it just loyal to the palace? In the long run, Xingguo Business uses department stores as a benchmark to encourage all channel merchants to open up the world’s market, which will also be of great help to industry and commerce. In the future, the imperial court will also increase in the annual income, Your Majesty... This is beneficial to super-providing, without any harm."

"What the Crown Prince does is really admire me, and the Duke of Qi is good at making plans, which makes me far beyond my reach. I am very stupid and have been following the Prince and Duke of Qi for several months, but I can barely guess what they think, but even this little idea makes me feel that I have benefited a lot, so I dare not slacken. These days, I have followed Your Highness and Duke of Qi, and I am really stupid. I am already a foolish person. I can work effectively and have a good chance."

After saying that, kowtow.

The hall is very quiet.

The person who spoke was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

You can say that this person is bad, but you can't say that he is stupid. People who can become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will never be stupid.

Chen Tong's words actually met the appetites of many people. He first presupposes that merchants are greedy, so the quality is uneven, which brings many hidden dangers. Isn't this the Confucian proposition?

The essence of suppressing businessmen is to suppress their greed.

Based on this argument, he just talked about the importance of industry and commerce to the country, and even the court and the treasury.

I am afraid that none of the civil and military officials will stand up to refute him at this time.

The reason is very simple... Who dares to refute that the treasury's annual income has dropped drastically, who will calculate the calculation?

In the end, he expressed the ideas of the prince and Duke of Qi, as well as how this Xingguo business name controls merchants of varying quality, and how to promote the development of business, thereby achieving the goal of stability of the country and increasing annual income.

These words not only satisfy the psychology of all officials, but also put gold on the face of the prince and Fang Jifan, turning this profitable transaction into a major event that is beneficial to the country and the country, and it is urgent. It is no longer as simple as selfishness, but it is related to the overall situation of the world.

Emperor Hongzhi felt comfortable after hearing this.

He nodded repeatedly, feeling that it made sense, so he gradually calmed down from the embarrassment just now and looked at Chen Tong with a smile.

I had a bad impression of Chen Tong before, but now... I found that although Chen Tong was aware of it, he was a talented man. He was completely renewed in just a few months and could be called a talent.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Chen Tong and suddenly became interested in him: "I heard that the Qing family is now quite capable. Even this department store has been done from scratch, and everything is done together with Qing family?"

Chen Tong said: "I am just doing things on orders and picking up people's wisdom."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, very satisfied. He now has some awe of being able to run a workshop or a large shop, so he nodded and said, "There are countless miscellaneous things involved here. I am quite pleased that you can do this. Your family is still talented."

Among these civil and military officials, Chen Tong is now considered an alien. What he can do is not done well by others. This is his ability.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment, then said, "You are the Minister of Revenue. I want to order your official position to be restored, how about?"

Chen Tong felt a little shocked, yes, a little surprised...

Happiness comes too quickly!

I almost lost my head and turned my head. I actually... I want to resume my post?

He suppressed the excitement in his heart. He wanted to go back to the Ministry of Revenue all the time. After all, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was so decent that many people flattered him.

He hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty's grace, I... I really die, and it's hard to repay you if you die, but... just..."

But he suddenly said: "It's just... the Xingguo Business Name is now in its inception, and everything is in vain. Although I am not talented, I have finally learned some business methods. Although this is not a good place, the court can leave a mediocre and inaction minister of the Ministry of Revenue. However, the Xingguo Business Name is temporarily inseparable from me. I... thank Your Majesty for your grace, but I still ask Your Majesty to take back his orders and choose a virtuous person."

This statement was really amazing and moved by all the officials.

The Minister of Revenue did not do it anymore, but went to make dog-legged things like Fang Jifan?

Is it important that the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue not as important as a mere terror?

This Chen Tong... took the wrong medicine.

But Chen Tong seemed to have decided to do it.

In fact, what he had always dreamed of was the reinstatement of his official position. He had even fought against heaven and man just now. But he thought that there were still many ideas for Xingguo Business Name that had not been completed, and he actually found that he and Xingguo Business Name were somewhat difficult to give up.

Emperor Hongzhi's face changed, and his surprise was no less than that of others. He stared at Chen Tong, but his face became more respectful.

Others are asking for office, but Chen Tong is so humble.

Well, I have to say, this is someone who can do things.

In the future... if you sharpen it again, you will definitely become a minister of the humerus.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered, looked at Chen Tong's eyes with a little more appreciation, and said seriously: "Since that's the case, then the Qing family will be in Xingguo Business for the time being, but... you are a person with fame and fortune after all, and in the future... I will use you sooner or later..."

After saying that, Emperor Hongzhi paused and said, "I ordered Chen Tong to be the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing. In the name of the Minister of Revenue, I will temporarily deal with the business in Xingguo Business. When the business is gradually getting on track and there are successors, I will entrust an important task."

This person... is considered an economic talent. Emperor Hongzhi cherishes his talents and really can't bear to let him go to Nanshan.

Chen Tong was stunned. Now it was his turn to be surprised.

If he said that when he made a decision just now, there was no regret in his heart, it would be false.

After all... this is equivalent to cutting off one's career, and one's career that one had only achieved after one's efforts.

But unexpectedly, after he made such a difficult choice, His Majesty actually promoted himself to the title.

The Minister of Revenue, although he is from Nanjing, this Minister of Revenue in Nanjing is actually just a false position and does not have much authority. However, with this level of identity, he can still do what he likes to do... This is...

Even... he could imagine that after a few years and after he tempered himself, perhaps... His Majesty even handed over the real Ministry of Revenue to himself...

Thinking that he was still guilty a few months ago, he turned his head, but His Majesty was unconventional and gave him grace. Perhaps because of the joy, Chen Tong actually burst into tears and kowtowed, "I... thank Your Majesty for your grace."

All the officials were complicated.

And Liu Kaizhi was also stunned and suddenly... he blushed.

Judging from His Majesty's tone, Chen Tong's future may be much greater than he thought, and he... was shot in the foot by himself. Not only did it make Chen Tong successful, but it also completely offended him.

In the future... I'm afraid...

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said, "As for the prince and Fang Qing family, they have indeed made great contributions. As Chen Qing family said, this Xingguo business name is beneficial to the country and the people. In the future, the prince and the Duke of Qi need to focus more on this, and then..." Emperor Hongzhi stared at the prince and said meaningfully: "In the future, if you complete this Xingguo business name, I will be worry-free."

This sentence is obviously meaningful.

Many people understand.

Xingguo Business Name... can share all merchants with the prince, which is of course of great benefit to the prince's succession in the future.

In the future, who in this world will have a more stable position than His Royal Highness?

Zhu Houzhao said naturally: "My son obeys the order."

Fang Jifan deliberately slowed down a little. After Zhu Houzhao said something to obey the order, he immediately said enthusiastically: "Your Majesty has outstanding knowledge and is extraordinary. This encouragement has really made me energetic. At this time, I only have one thought in my heart, that is, I will never let down Your Majesty's trust, and even if I die ten thousand times, I will definitely share your worries and solve the problem of the prince."
