323. Chapter 323 The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River seems familiar
"Ignore them, these people are just afraid that the world will not be in chaos. They are trying to get money one by one, and they don't care that I have money!" Zhu Houzhao curled his lips: "This cabinet has changed several group assistants. They are trying to make a name for me.
Well, you really think I’m a fool!”
Li Feng'er smiled, but didn't say anything. If she continued talking, it would be a bit overstepping her bounds. She didn't want to care about government affairs or anything like that.
"You said you are going to Jiangnan without any illness. What business is there in Jiangnan? Running this building well is better than anything else. I have already thought about it. I will use the five hundred thousand taels of silver sent from Sihai Tower every year.
To support my majestic university, another five hundred thousand taels will be used for palace expenses. The remaining five hundred thousand taels will be given to the Queen Mother, two hundred thousand taels, and Feng'er's two hundred thousand taels. The women in the palace
, one hundred thousand taels together, hey, do you think this is good?"
"Such a lot of money, you may not be able to make it back just by relying on the Sihai Building!" Li Feng'er sighed: "So, Wu Bian is thinking about finding some profitable business in Jiangnan to supplement this building. You, Jinkou Yuyan,
It doesn't matter whether the people below can do it or not, I haven't seen him worry less these days!"
Zhu Houzhao laughed, a bit shamelessly. He didn't know how exaggerated it was to rely on this Sihai Tower alone to pay almost a year's worth of taxes and money for a medium-sized city. However, this person had to force
It's so hard to find a minister who is sincerely trying to make money for Ouchi, but you still don't treat him like a donkey!
"It's good to worry, it's better to worry!" He pointed to the paper in Li Feng'er's hand, "Shouldn't I keep all these papers to impeach him? As long as he is serious about doing things for the royal family, I will naturally protect him.
, However, it is a good idea for Jiangnan to do business now. Let him avoid these courtiers who get into trouble for nothing. We know that we naturally know that he is doing business. Those who don't know, just treat it as
He was afraid and hid out of Beijing!"
"Is he waiting outside? Send him in!"
Qian Wubing sent Li Feng'er to the Leopard Room and had been waiting outside. With Li Feng'er playing the drums, he didn't feel panic at all. At the moment, he didn't know whether Zhu Houzhao had received the report about Mou Bin's accident or not, so he directly asked for it.
If Zhu Houzhao wants to be an official, it will definitely not work. As the saying goes, moisturizing things silently means that no matter how anxious you are, you have to do things slowly.
Entering the main hall, Qian Wubing greeted Zhu Houzhao in a polite manner. Fortunately, Jinyiwei was a hawk dog from the Tian family and did not have so many red tapes. He lay on the ground and kowtowed. When he heard Zhu Houzhao's voice, he immediately jumped up.
"I heard from Feng'er that you plan to go to Jiangnan?" Zhu Houzhao looked at him curiously: "Although Jiangnan is rich, it seems that you can't exchange it for free money just by carrying a head on your shoulders.
Ah! Don’t you have the idea of going to Jiangnan to eat at rich restaurants? When the time comes, the gentry in Jiangnan will complain, which will make it difficult for me!”
Qian Wubing looked at the young emperor and smiled: "Of course it's a business involving real money. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry. I've been planning this for a while!"
"Oh, then tell me how you plan to make money for me. These officials in the court, as soon as they heard that the royal family wanted to do some business, they shouted that the emperor must not compete with the people for profit. I was surprised.
, since everyone is open to do business, why can the officials and people all over the world do it, but I can’t?"
"I want to try sea trade!"
Zhengde's eyes lit up: "Sea trade is great. Didn't Ma Sanbao in the palace go to sea to do sea trade at the behest of Emperor Taizong? I once heard my father say that the whole world said that Ma Sanbao's seven voyages to the Western courts cost a lot of money.
, the gains outweigh the losses, but the court still knows whether it is a real gain or a loss. In those years, Emperor Taizong used troops a lot, and the money was poured out like water, and the treasury was not depleted!"
After saying this, he couldn't help but snorted: "I really want to use troops against the north, but every year the Ministry of Household Affairs complains that they have no money, and I don't know how they gave me this home!"
"If we are doing sea trade, we must have ships. If you bring the money, I will call the Treasure Shipyard and build you some big ships to make you look awesome!"
Li Feng'er couldn't help but coughed lightly on the side. Zhu Houzhao suddenly woke up and felt a little nervous.
"If I had money, I wouldn't have to run around for His Majesty!" Qian Wubing said with a bitter smile, the meaning in his eyes was very clear: If you, Zhu Houzhao, hadn't set me such a heavy task of 1.5 million taels of silver a year,
Do I go around asking you for money?
"Ahem, let's not talk about this for now!" Zhu Houzhao just pretended not to see his eyes.
"However, I did raise some capital. I was bold and used the name of an internal official to get half of my business out!"
"Use it if you need it. At worst, we'll call a few people from the inner prison to serve you!" Zhu Houzhao didn't care at all. What he cared about was what Qian Wubing meant by dividing half of the people out.
Fortunately, Qian Wubing did not let his doubts last too long. After a pause, Qian Wubing immediately explained: "The palace will definitely take half of the money earned, and the remaining half.
I plan to give 10% to local officials, 30% to businessmen who take shares, and the remaining 10%..."
"Hahaha!" Seeing Qian Wubing's unclear words, Zhu Houzhao laughed: "I'll reward you with the remaining 10%. I won't let your hard work go in vain!"
"Thank you Lord for your kindness!" Qian Wubing looked happy and hurriedly thanked him.
"Tell me how you plan to do it. How do I feel? You seem to be sure that you will make money!"
"I have recruited some merchants. These merchants are responsible for providing money to build ships and purchase goods. Your Majesty has given me the order. This is considered a palace business. There is no need to pay taxes, and there is no need to worry about local exploitation. Although the merchants have a small share when they come in and out,
, but they can earn more than they can by doing it alone, so as soon as I came up with this idea, a lot of businessmen were enthusiastic about it!"
"As for whether you can make money after going to sea, there is no need to consider it. In Songjiang, even a three-year-old child knows that as long as a sea ship goes out, it can come back safely, no matter whether it is raw silk, porcelain, or tea.
It’s still our Ming Dynasty’s white sugar, and what you bring back must be a boatload of money slowly!”
"How long will this trip take?" Zhu Houzhao listened leisurely and fascinated. What is the difference between this and picking up money?
"If you go to Ryukyu, Annan, Fuso, and North Korea, it's no problem to go twice a year. If you go further, to Luzon, it will take a little longer!" Qian Wubing replied: "The boat
After the team is established, we can send some capable people to look after it, so we don’t have to worry about any mistakes in the accounts!”
Zhu Houzhao calculated in his mind that this was equivalent to a business without capital. The businessmen provided money and people in the name of the royal family, but the profits were honestly divided into half. Where can you find such a good thing? This is
Qian Wubing has always dealt with businessmen. No matter which court official was asked to handle this matter, he might not be able to do it. As soon as he heard that he would get half of the profits, the businessmen would have been scared away. This is a maritime business.
Yes, guard against wind and waves, guard against pirates, and even more guard against officials!
"Why don't Your Majesty give Wu Bian a name, so that it will be easier for Wu Bian to act. He, a little Jin Yiwei Zhenfu, went to Jiangnan, but he can't scare those greedy people. Since he is making money for you, it can't be done.
I earned it through hard work, but it was shared by those greedy people!"
Li Feng'er lost no time in reminding her. Qian Wubing looked at her with a hint of admiration. This was a good opportunity!
"Well, your officer is a little too young!" Zhu Houzhao nodded. From a fourth-grade military attache to Jiangnan, he really didn't mean anything. Even if he is a Jin Yiwei, as long as he doesn't commit any crime, he won't buy it if he doesn't.
Now, how dare you still seize someone? You, a royal guard from out of town, seize an official for no reason. If you dare to seize an official today, tomorrow the officials in the south of the Yangtze River will dare to impeach you to death.
"You Jin Yiwei over in Nanjing also have a Zhenfu Division, right?" Zhu Houzhao asked casually.
"There is a Zhenfusi Yamen over there in Nanjing!" Qian Wubing replied: "However, there is only a thousand-household office for Jinyiwei on the ground in Nanjing, and the Zhenfusi Yamen exists in name only! Basically, the thousand-household office obeys orders from the capital.
of!"
"This is easy to handle!" When Zhu Houzhao heard this, it was not easy: "Open another thousand-household office and put it under the unified management of the Nanzhili Zhenfu Division. The Zhenfu Division you mentioned that exists in name only should be those who are grateful.
The officials are dawdling in there, tell them to go home and dawdle, I will give you another favor, your job in Nanjing will not be lost, you seem to have a thousand households in Beijing, there is a new one opened in Nanjing
The Qianhu Office also lets you do the hard work, well, let’s give it the title of commanding people!”
Qian Wubing understood that the newly opened Thousand Households Office was definitely not for Zhu Houzhao's affairs on the ground in Nanjing. If it weren't for the fleet, Zhu Houzhao would not bother to care about this matter. Since it is a business of gold and silver, he has nothing in his hands.
How can we do it with a little strength? The biggest task for these thousands of households is to ensure that they can steadily earn money for the palace, and the money earned can be sent to the palace steadily! As for adding a title to command the affairs.
Boss, this is very necessary. Otherwise, if you have the same rank as several thousand households, then who will listen to whom? With the addition of the title of commanding people, won’t the hierarchy of superiors and inferiors come out?
"I obey the decree!"
"You used to stay in Beijing as a prison guard, so I won't talk about this matter. Now when you go out to do business, don't forget that you are my royal guard, and you also have the grace of secretly reporting. Now that you have gone out, what you saw...
Whatever you encounter, if it’s interesting or interesting, and you want me to make the decision, just send it to me!”
"I obey the decree!"
"Okay, go out and go to Jiangnan when you are ready. You don't have to say goodbye to me anymore!"
"Your Majesty, I also want to go to Jiangnan with Wu Yi!" Li Feng'er finally said after hearing that the matter was a foregone conclusion.
Zhu Houzhao was startled: "How can this happen? You are pregnant and should have a good rest. How can you run around!"
"Ignore them, these people are just afraid that the world will not be in chaos. They are trying to get money one by one, and they don't care that I have money!" Zhu Houzhao curled his lips: "This cabinet has changed several group assistants. They are trying to make a name for me.
