Chapter five hundred and eighty fourth multi-party wrestling (ten)
The wind blew in from the window, and because the door was closed, it finally whirled in the room and disappeared. The shouts of the peddlers on the street came from afar, making the room more and more quiet.
Brother Shou thought of something from Shen Rui's words, and his face was gloomy and clear.
Shen Ruize always sat upright and waited for the following text.
The struggle between civil officials, relatives and eunuchs has begun to appear. If Liu Jin makes a fan appearance next, with Wang Hua and Wang Shouren's character, what awaits them may still be the fate of being dismissed from afar.
Shen Rui always wanted to find a place for his mentor to spend this period safely.
Taihu Lake may not be the best place, but it can allow the mentor to show its strengths.
During the Zhengde period in history, there were many wars. Outside, there were little Tatar prince knocking on the edge, inside, Liu Liu Qi civil rebellion, Ningfan rebellion, and a small-scale battle against Japanese pirates and Portuguese... It is not useful except for the battle against Mongolia.
In addition to the navy, in other wars, the navy is of great use!
In Shen Rui's mind, it is no problem for Wang Shouren to train a Wang family army!
Of course, that's all a story. Now that the imperial court has wars, there are constant local disasters, and the national treasury is tight, it is not easy to keep a seed of a navy army.
After a long time, Shou Ge suddenly said, "Zhang Yongxiaojing brought up a few boxes of Songjiang cotton cloth. The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and I all felt good."
Shen Rui was a little confused. Brother Shou's thinking jumped too much, so why did he pull the Songjiang cotton cloth again?
However, he replied: "...I didn't know it was the emperor before, but in fact I brought some small gifts when I came back, and there were some Songjiang cotton cloth. Today, because Mr. Zhang Er invited me, I originally wanted to ask him to pass it on your behalf... but now,
This thing is too thin, it would be disrespectful to enter..."
A big smile appeared on Brother Shou's face: "I knew you wouldn't not bring me something! It's okay, you still think that I am Zhang Hui's distant cousin, things and I are. What's simple or not,
Just fun." I was a little curious, "What fun thing is it?"
Shen Rui really carefully selected things with Shou Ge along the way, and smiled and said, "There are mostly exquisite clay figures, machine-based dolls, self-propelled boats and other valuable things. Don't dislike them."
Brother Shou was curious and wanted to ask someone to take it up immediately, but soon, he controlled himself again, coughed, and returned to his serious face, and said seriously: "The loss in the Japanese riot in Songjiang is also quite large, so he should be exempted from it.
Taxes for one year. The Queen Mother of Songjiang cotton cloth is very good, and it can be designated as a tribute."
Shen Rui was delighted. Shou Ge recognized the fact that he was raising the water army in Taihu Lake in disguise.
The "Japanese riot" in Songjiang must be a "Japanese" rebellion. The people who were robbed by the water bandits can be sent back, but the money robbed by the "Japanese pirates" cannot and cannot be returned.
Brother Shou tacitly agreed to the money as military funds, and at the same time, he also exempted the people of Songjiang from taxes and ordered tributes as compensation.
Paying tribute itself is not cost-effective, and it is inevitable to suffer losses when doing business with the palace. However, once it is designated as a tribute, Songjiang cotton cloth will become famous all over the world. With more customers and merchants, the people will naturally benefit from the Songjiang weaver.
Shen Rui hurriedly stood up and thanked him, "I will thank the emperor for his holy kindness for the elders of Songjiang."
After being bowed by him, Shou Ge pulled him up with a smile, and suddenly asked, "I heard that the He family occupied two weaving factories in your early years?"
Shen Rui's back was slightly cold, and he thought to himself that this question was probably not over yet. The emperor asked the case, and even the family affairs were not hidden. Shen Rui showed a dilemma and briefly told the original story in a few words. He said: "I dare not hide it from the emperor. I was not unhappy at the beginning. But after studying and learning, I also knew that it was not the He family who had other families. Chen He and his two families had many contacts... A few years ago, they also found things around. Here we come."
Brother Shou raised his eyebrows and did not ask what he had found, but said, "The He family is also considered a relative of the Shen family, but he repeatedly plotted against the Shen family. This time he framed the Shen family and wanted to kill the Shen family. How do you deal with them?"
Shen Rui said seriously: "If his family violates the national law, there will naturally be national law to deal with it. The Shen family believes in the national law and believes in the emperor's sage."
Shou Geqi said: "You just said that you need to eradicate the roots, but why did you feel lenient when you arrived at the He family?"
Shen Rui shook his head and said, "These two things are completely different. Naturally, I can try my best to complain in front of the emperor, exaggerate the mistakes of the He family, and seek to revenge the He family, but that's what's different from the He family who took advantage of the situation? The villain's behavior is serious. The family disdained it. The same thing is said, the He family has not violated the national law, and the Shen family can defeat him in business. If the He family violated the national law, they will deal with it according to the national law, and the Shen family will obey everything."
Although Brother Shou curled his lips and said "pedantic", he still admired the gentleman in his heart.
"If you go back, you will be given a request to you. Your weaving factory will weave tribute. You have to weave some good cloth with me." Brother Shou leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his legs, and another The appearance of a lazy boy.
Shen Rui also quietly relaxed. Just as he was about to bow again, he was stopped impatiently by Brother Shou, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, the emperor, Longyou. I have also thanked the emperor for his clan brother Chen Jin."
Brother Shou glared at me, "Are you going to do a gentleman to the end? That's what your mother left to you!"
Shen Rui lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your compassion, but my aunt had already divided the property at the beginning, and half of them were the aunt's intentions with cousin Jin."
Brother Shou looked unhappy and tapped his fingers on the table. After a while, he said unhappy: "Forget it, Chen Jin is also the top scholar appointed by his father."
Speaking of father, Shou Ge's voice also became low.
Shen Rui knew that he had a deep affection with Emperor Hongzhi, and in a few days it would be the day when the coffin entered the tomb. Although Emperor Hongzhi had passed away for more than a hundred days, people at that time still believed that being buried in the soil was the real farewell. I think Shouge was here for a while. It's very sad.
Shen Rui whispered: "I was naughty when I was young and could not be loved by my father and grandmother. My mother's arrangements were all for my plan. I followed my mother's orders to fulfill my filial piety, and I also did not want to let her down her loving mother's heart. Now I have achieved a little success in my studies and can gain a foothold without relying on her plans. She will only be happy for me if she knows her in the spring."
As a person who has already retired, Shen Ruidang called Sun the aunt, but this time, he did not call him that, but used his mother, and he felt sincere from the heart.
Brother Shou was moved when he heard this. He nodded slowly and said, "I know you are advising me. I understand this truth. My father... I am also worried about me... Therefore, I want to bring this world to the world. The governance is well done, and the father is happy..."
His voice went from low to clear, his expression improved, his eyes shone with a firm light, and a smile appeared on his face.
Shen Rui also smiled sincerely.
Brother Shou's emotions come and go quickly. In the blink of an eye, it seemed that he had relaxed again. He picked up a small piece of osmanthus cake and threw it into his mouth. While chewing, he said, "I bought it from Guo's shop on West Street.
This cake is better than the one in the palace." You Niu drank two sips of tea and said with a pout, "Shen Rui, your teahouse is in such a bad business. Who would come to eat such a bad snack?"
Shen Rui was so amused that the cure was too fast. Seeing that Brother Shou pointed at the snack and asked him to make the snack, he didn't move the snack, but he only brought the teacup to moisten his mouth and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm pointing at this shop to make money.
The shops are open here, and there are Hanlin people nearby. I think the emperor knows that it is not easy to live in the capital. Hanlin people are the most difficult to live in. There is no one to buy those expensive shops, so it is better to sell them cheaper.
, It's also a convenience for the Hanlins. In fact, I didn't lose much money, but I just made less money."
Brother Shou looked at Shen Rui squintly and said, "Your grandfather... Isn't your biological grandfather a tycoon in Jiangnan? I heard that your biological mother is also good at collecting goods, and she manages her own business properly. She still has the spare time to build bridges and roads for the village. You are actually doing business.
Do you know nothing about the way? I was still thinking that you would come to take care of the royal property in the future to fill my internal warehouses."
Those who make money for the emperor were all eunuchs. Shen Rui didn't want to sacrifice his life to ask for this job. He laughed dryly: "The emperor respects me very much. When my aunt went there, I was still young and didn't learn anything."
Brother Shou broke up a piece of snack and filled it in his mouth, his voice a little muted: "Now the inner treasury is empty, and I can't do anything I want. I originally thought that the father's great business will be over, and a villa will be built next year--Zhang Jiaxian
Two leopards were very interesting. They jumped very high and were even better than wolves. However, the imperial garden was small and could not be run away. If there was a single garden, it would be a hundred times stronger than now, so as not to cause the Queen Mother to live
I was tired. But the empress dowager said she wanted to prepare for her wedding next year, and the inner treasury could not move the money."
He picked up the teacup and blew it, took a sip, whispered comfortably, raised his eyebrows and said, "The Zhang family said that they would offer a villa. I heard that people have already asked to look out of the countryside. They should build a new building according to the regulations.
. According to me, there is a great territory in the West Garden. There was also a place where the Tiger House and Eagle House were left in the previous dynasty. It was cheap to repair and raise some animals, and it was close to the palace."
Shen Rui's eyelids twitched, Xiyuan, leopard house, leopard house?! He doesn't remember when the leopard house was built in history. It was indeed the first year of Zhengde, but did the Zhang family get involved? Remember it.
Not bad.
However, now that the Zhang family has just been slapped in the face, the little emperor is obviously not standing on the side of the Zhang family. If the Zhang family is anxious, it is reasonable to offer some money to make the little emperor happy.
Brother Shou was still smiling when he talked about his precious tigers and leopards.
The Mongolian nobles of the Yuan Dynasty liked to raise wild animals. At that time, there were quite a few places left in the capital. After Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Beijing, some were demolished, but some were still taken away by the nobles and nobles. Because small countries came to pay tribute from time to time, they took them.
Some local worthless birds and beasts pretend to be rare beasts to deceive the rewards of the Ming emperor, or simply sell them directly, which adds scenery to the back gardens of many wealthy families.
Shen Rui thought for a moment and said, "The emperor mentioned raising animals, and I remembered an idea. I just didn't know whether it was feasible or not, so I had to consider it. I have seen people playing monkeys in the south, not only monkeys, but also sheep.
There are dogs, goats crossing wooden bridges, or monkeys riding on dogs’ backs to somersaults.”
Brother Shou immediately became interested and hurriedly said, "Where did you see it? I want to send someone to find me and I'm going to see you. I haven't seen a monkey somersault on the back of a dog. Oh, why isn't there in Beijing?
Such a fun juggling."
Shen Rui said: "This business is very prosperous. Every New Year Festival, people who watch the fun are crowded with three layers inside and three layers inside and three layers outside. They get a lot of rewards when collecting gongs. Later, a smart shop invited them to go.
When playing on the patio, the guests were watching from the four floors, which was comfortable and realistic, and the guests were happy to come. And once they entered the store, they always ordered some tea and snacks, and the store also made a lot of money."
Brother Shou clapped his hands and smiled, "After all, the merchants are very smart." He looked around and said, "It's good to play in your teahouse, maybe you'll make a lot of money."
Shen Rui did not follow up, but said, "Sometimes I like to read some miscellaneous notes from my predecessors. I remember that the book said that during the Song Dynasty, the Jinming Lake was opened to the eighth day of the March 1st to the April 8th day of the Song Dynasty, allowing the scholars and the common people to enter and visit."
Brother Shou's smile stopped and he stared at Shen Rui in surprise, thinking about something.
Shen Rui was not afraid and smiled and said, "I think the emperor already knows my idea."
Brother Shou frowned and said, "Do you want me to open the Imperial Garden or the West Garden?"
Shen Rui said: "Don't the emperor just want to build a place to raise leopards? The mountains and rivers of the Xiyuan are all good. The emperor only needs to set aside a place to raise tigers and leopards, eagles and sparrows, monkeys, elephants, camels, and travel around the mountains.
There is no charge for water. If you want to enter the garden, you will symbolically collect a few strings of money."
Brother Shou sneered: "What are you doing with a few strings of money? Raising animals is not enough. You are still a descendant of a giant businessman."
Shouge is not the kind of young emperor who was locked up in the Forbidden City and cheated of a tael of silver and an egg. He has been often disguised as a public person since he was a child, and he cannot be deceived by the economy in the city.
Shen Rui said in a hurry: "That depends on how many people are willing to pay these strings of money. How many people are there in the capital? How many people are there from other places to come to Beijing? If you want more, no one will come, just want less.
Only then will there be many people coming, and the accumulation of small amounts can make a lot of money, and in the end, the wealth should not be underestimated. Moreover, if you collect less money, you will show that the emperor is kind and does not compete with the people for profit, but instead enjoys the people."
Brother Shou touched his chin and smacked his lips, "I'm so happy with the people."
Shen Rui smiled and said, "Besides, making money is really not about this. You can build some sheds in the shade of the water, and even build a few small shops, rent them and sell water and food by the merchants.
, which not only facilitates the people, but also supplements the Hundred Beast Garden. If the operation is well done, it will be a quota for the internal warehouse. If the lake is opened, you can also collect rent from those color shops. I also wrote the notes of the Song Dynasty, outside the Jinming Lake.
There are many such food shops. When they are not open, the emperor can go to anytime and it is cheaper."
Since the construction of the leopard house will make the scholars criticized it and let Shouge be indulged in the name of having fun, then create a tourist area to make his play fun with the people.
At the same time, the tourism industry is also the only way to make money. There was no commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty, so rent would be replaced in disguise.
Although Shen Rui was not a backpacker in his previous life, he had visited many places, and there were always some experiences to learn from.
Moreover, there are indeed many grand occasions of Jin Mingchi in the notes of the Song people. The business model that the Song people have achieved is in the more developed Ming Dynasty, which has already sprouted capitalism, and it should be possible to implement it one or two.
Brother Shou was originally a lively person who wanted to get into the crowd and "joy with the people". He walked around the house with his hands behind his back, thought about it carefully, and turned around and smiled: "It's not that bad. It's just some
The place needs to be considered. If it is done, Brother Shou went over and patted Shen Rui on the shoulder, "You are the top skill."
Shen Rui smiled helplessly and said, "It's just a sudden idea and dare not take credit."
Brother Shou smiled and said, "You are indeed a descendant of a giant businessman. You can have such a good idea with this sudden idea." He asked again, "What business are you doing when you rent out, Sun's family?"
Shen Rui was stunned and then touched his nose, "The Emperor really asked me. I only know that Grandpa Sun has done a lot of business, tea, silk, food and spices, and the family's industries are mostly cloth weaving factories, in addition to land.
There are many mulberry silkworms and weaving households in Jiangnan, so the silk and satin cloth business should be the main business.”
Brother Shou said "Oh", sat down and twisted a piece of snack, as if he said casually: "I heard that I have done a maritime business?"
For a moment, Shen Rui felt that hairs suddenly appeared on his back. I wonder if he was too careful. He felt that the emperor seemed to pay attention to Grandpa Sun. What is the reason?
Various thoughts were quickly turning in his mind, and Shen Ruike didn't hesitate at all, "I heard from my mother that I was not a maritime businessman, it seemed like I was a boatman. That year, my great-grandson only took a little book boy north, and the wind and cold were stained halfway.
However, he was driven off the boat by the unscrupulous boatman. However, Grand Master Sun, who was working on the boat at that time, couldn't stand it. He got off the boat and helped the grandfather. It was a bandit problem, and the boatman was robbed by the Jiang bandits and failed. However, my grandfather and Grandfather Sun were lucky.
After escaping, the two of them also had a life-long friendship.”
This sentence is seven points true and three points false. After many years, even if you check it, it is impossible to find out. Moreover, his elder mother said that it was ancient times, so she could not find any faults.
Brother Shou seemed to be indifferent, and without asking questions, he nodded, and then turned to say, "You have more than a year of filial piety period, and it's too late to do things every day. Why don't you help me too.
I will write a note to me about this beast garden.”
Shen Rui didn't dare to relax, and smiled and carefully mentioned that there were many water puppets, water swings and other water plays on Song Shi's notes, saying that they could be used to let the merchants operate, and the official only cares.
I collect rent, but don’t worry about what’s around me.
Brother Shou was indeed very interested. He asked questions repeatedly, applauded and wanted to use those to play immediately.
Until Liu Zhong knocked softly outside the door and reminded Brother Shou to return to the palace, Brother Shou did not mention Master Sun again.
Brother Shou ordered Liu Zhong to ask someone to put the gift from Songjiang that Shen Rui brought to him, and looked at Shen Rui reluctantly, "It's a pity that I can't come out like this to find you. I really hope that the Hundred Beasts Garden will be built as soon as possible.
Get up and come out to have some breath from time to time." He said again: "You are ready for the imperial examination and will be admitted to the Hanlin as soon as possible. I don't have to leave the palace and I can also tell you."
Shen Rui bowed and smiled and replied, "Abide by the emperor's decree."
Shou Ge laughed, stepped out of the teahouse, got into a carriage marked by the British Duke's Mansion, and headed towards the Imperial City.
Shen Rui saw him off all the way, bowed farewell at the door with a friend's greeting. Liu Zhong also gave him a little greeting, looked at him deeply, but turned around and got on the carriage before he responded.
Shen Rui's heart was already ringing.
After returning home all the way, Shen Rui hurriedly changed into homely clothes and came to see Xu.
In the room, He was taking Xiao Nan with his brother to make fun of Xu. Seeing Shen Rui coming in with a serious expression, He hurriedly hugged Xiao Nan and said goodbye. Xu didn't keep her, so he turned around and sent the whole room.
The maid and the old lady went out and asked Shen Rui: "But what news did Mr. Zhang say?"
Shen Rui shook his head and said seriously: "The one who saw his son today is not Mr. Zhang, but the emperor."
Seeing that Xu's expression was calm and not too surprised, Shen Rui knew that Xu was afraid that he had known about his relationship with the emperor, so he didn't say much at the moment. He briefly said a few words, the emperor asked about the case himself, and said:
"The son next to him will tell his mother in detail later. The key is that the emperor asked Grandpa Sun and asked Grandpa Sun if it was a maritime businessman. The son thought..."
Xu's face, who was quite calm just now, suddenly changed. He grabbed Shen Rui's wrist and said anxiously: "What do you say?"
Shen Rui held Xu's hand with comfort and said, "Mother, don't worry, your son has just completed it for the time being." He repeated what he said again.
Xu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Master Sun and even your mother have been there for so long, and they have nothing to do with this case, but someone is going to pull this one up, that is, I want to push my second room from the root
