The commercial power of Daliang has always been occupied by wealthy families from the southeast. Don't these northwest businessmen want to have their own power in the capital?
A family singing alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming is the way to go.
Zhu Youde did not need to give much: "The king issued an edict. It is bitterly cold in the northwest. There was a rebellion by the puppet king in the past, and the people were in poverty. I only hope that the people will be peaceful. Therefore, all merchants in the northwest who start shuttle weaving will be tax-free for three years. The goods weaved in the northwest will be tax-free for three years."
, you only need to pay the basic commercial tax when doing business with the Western Regions in Guihua City, and inform the Ministry of War that the winter clothes for the northwest frontier army will be purchased from the northwest this year, and these merchants who purchase my shuttle will be designated to provide military supplies. "
Wang Zhonghou hurriedly wrote the edict. After Zhu Youde read it, he carefully said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the merchants in the southeast will be dissatisfied!"
"What are they dissatisfied with? I just gave the northwest frontier army's business to northwest merchants. Isn't this very reasonable? Most of the northwest frontier troops are from the northwest. Isn't it unreasonable for fellow villagers to take care of their fellow villagers' business?"
Zhu Youde naturally knew that this would definitely dissatisfy the wealthy families in the southeast, because they had always been doing the business of Daliang Army.
It was also something that his grandfather had discussed with the wealthy families in the southeast. The imperial court and the wealthy families in the southeast had been doing this military business for more than fifty years.
But these wealthy families in the southeast were making money from him, but they were causing trouble with him everywhere.
Is he easy to bully?
Zhu Youde just wants to encourage businessmen in the northwest to develop. If they don't develop quickly, how can they compete with the giants in the southeast!
Wang Zhong said kindly: "Your Majesty is wise, but merchants value profits. If the border army generals collude with merchants, they may cause harm to the border, and they may rebel!"
Zhu Youde glanced at Wang Zhonghou and said, "You are right to worry, but don't worry, I will reform the army next. The strength of the new army can be seen. The original army will have to be restructured, and we will wait until Wang Po returns to the capital. Now, first
Cultivate northwest businessmen, this Zhou Chaozong is really a talent!"
Wang Zhonghou smiled bitterly: "But he made me lose more than one million silver today."
"You are already a prince, why are you having trouble with a businessman? Why don't you say that he has brought 60 million in profits to my Shang Fang Mansion!" Zhu Youde warned: "Don't cause trouble with him!"
Wang Zhonghou had countless minions and secretly killed Zhou Chaozong, but no one could find out.
Zhu Youde was worried that the old eunuch had a dark heart!
Wang Zhong said kindly: "Your Majesty, I am not that kind of person!"
Do I need to care?
Zhu Youde waved his hand: "Go down and do some work!"
Zhu Youde's edict was first sent to the outer court. Feng Bogong and other six ministers read it and found nothing wrong with it!
If there is a problem, they just think that this is another lesson from the emperor to the wealthy families in the southeast. After all, everyone is a civil servant and looks down on merchants. They only give tax exemptions to merchants in the northwest. The reason is to hope that the people in the northwest can live a better life!
This is the emperor’s favor!
There was no reason to stop it, so it was passed quickly with a seal, and then Luo Yunshan, the Minister of War, immediately implemented it!
Luo Yunshan is very interesting. After he got the edict, he wrote a new document and added a few more words to it.
Zhu Youde meant that this year's winter military uniforms for the Northwest Frontier Army should be purchased from northwest merchants, but after the documents from the Ministry of War came out, it became that this year all military supplies for the Northwest Frontier Army would be purchased from the Northwest!
Luo Yunshan acted confidently. He was the Minister of the Ministry of War. The emperor even said that the northwest frontier army should purchase goods nearby, and he also followed the emperor's wishes!
Feng Bogong and others looked at it but smiled and said nothing. Feng Yuyue, Lu Jun, and others all knew that Luo Yunshan was seeking revenge for Luo Xian.
When the Northern Yan envoy met Zhu Youde, he actually wanted to depose the emperor, and many officials in the court were ready to do so!
Luo Yunshan is Luo Xian's grandfather. He couldn't say anything at that time, but now he can wait for the opportunity to take revenge.
Among those officials in the DPRK who are ready to act, who the hell didn’t take Southeast’s money?
Wang Zhonghou also read the document and said with a smile: "The minister's order is a good one!"
Luo Yunshan cupped his hands and said, "It's just about experiencing the Sacred Heart!"
No matter what the means, I just know what Zhu Youde wants to do!
The emperor now looks down on the wealthy families in the southeast, how can I be polite?
Feng Bogong said: "Let's send it to the prefecture and county!"
Immediately, it was reported to the whole country eight hundred miles away.
Wang Zhonghou went back and told Zhu Youde what had happened. Zhu Youde smiled and said: "I, the king's father, seem to be cowardly, but actually his heart is very dark. The clay figurine still has three points of energy. I can't say anything about the queen, lest people from other dynasties
Call me stingy, but he handled this matter just right. I am very satisfied, so you can give the emperor a lucky stick!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am afraid that the emperor will not be at peace in the future!"
"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Youde said nonchalantly: "Can people from the southeast still eat him? He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and military procurement is his authority. Those wealthy families in the southeast don't know how to please him, and they even encourage the ministers of the DPRK and China to abolish the queen.
, are they qualified to comment on the Queen’s affairs? They are a group of people seeking death, so I have given them a lot of face by not hacking them to death myself, okay? What else do you want from me?”
Damn it, who is my wife? Is this something that these beasts can comment on?
It’s not up to you to know whether it works well or not!
Zhu Youde is annoyed by these foreign ministers. They are just like the relatives at home in modern times. They usually ignore you but pay all kinds of attention to you during the New Year and holidays!
Need it?
"Also, Zhou Chaozong and Tang Huo issued an edict and reprimanded Shang Fang Mansion for doing what Shang Fang Mansion should do. Are they just idle and have nothing to do? Ask them if they want to join the army in the northwest!"
Wang Zhonghou couldn't help but laugh, "Your Majesty, the Shang Fang Mansion now has a huge fortune, should you take over the Young Mansion?"
"Keep ten million and collect the rest."
Zhu Youde was so happy. As for the huge sum of 50 million, the key was that the foreign court didn't know it yet, so this income was his own, and the small coffers were almost full.
The Forbidden City project can start!
But when Zhu Youde thought about it, he was still very sad. He wanted to build the Forbidden City in Beiping, and now it is in Youzhou.
But now Youzhou is not our territory, it is the place of Beiyan. Beiyan is also called Youzhou, and the county capital is Beiping.
Daliang can only control the Xuzhou front line, and only half of Shandong belongs to Daliang.
"The country is incomplete, I am sad!"
Zhu Youde was very sad, so he planned to go and play with the young ladies in the harem. Luo Xian and Tang Qingyu were not feeling well recently, and it was said that walking was inconvenient, so they would go to the Liu sisters!
It seems that I forgot someone!
Zhu Youde didn't think much about it at all and happily went to find the Liu sisters to develop new projects.
But as the imperial court announced eight hundred miles to the world that merchants in the northwest were exempt from tax, the merchants were shocked, especially those in the northwest!
"Your Majesty, your grace is so kind to me and other northwest merchants!"
"I hope that your Majesty will allow us to go directly to the exchange market. We only need to pay basic taxes. Hiss... I have ordered a ten shuttle. Isn't it missing?"
"Everyone, listen to me. This is a great opportunity for thousands of years. I have seen Shang Fang Mansion's shuttle. It is really a textile artifact. It can reach hundreds of people in one day. There is a big river in the northwest, there is no shortage of water power, and there is no shortage of cattle and horses. The Western Regions
It’s bitterly cold, but cotton can be spun, and as for wool, you have a lot of it in the Western Regions, and the price is as low as loess, but we can spin fine woolen cloth with a flying shuttle!”
"In the northwest, in addition to the country of the Western Region, there are countless grassland tribes. Don't these people need to wear clothes? This is a great thing, not to mention the border military procurement allows me to wait without worrying about sales. What are you waiting for? What else are you waiting for?
Instead of raising money to go to Jinling to purchase shuttles, I heard that Shang Fang Mansion’s annual output is limited, and there are so many merchants in the world that there are not many opportunities!”
