As expected, Zhang Chengtian was beaten, and his elder brother chased him and beat him, causing him to run all over the yard, making the chickens and dogs jump.
On the other hand, it was Zhu Di who looked very interesting and actually stopped him, "Shun Ning, he didn't do anything serious, please spare him!"
Zhang Shuning was panting and said angrily: "Zhang Chengtian, King Yan was drunk and making trouble, and you followed suit and made the trouble even bigger! Is this the way to treat guests? Is this the way to serve as a minister? I find that you are getting more and more angry.
The more unruly you are, the more I can never let you go!"
Zhang Shuning gave him a harsh lesson, then turned around and sat next to Zhu Di, "King Yan, I will tell my father when I turn around and ask for help from the family to deal with him severely!"
Zhu Di waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "No need, really no need... In fact, I quite like Chengtian's character. You might as well ask if he is willing to work in Prince Yan's Mansion?"
Zhang Shuning was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, what do you want with this kid? Isn't it worth his life to piss him off?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chengtian said unceremoniously: "Zhu Di, don't think about it. I have been your Majesty's for a long time, and now I am the commander!"
Zhang Chengtian said again: "Brother, in fact, you have already committed the following crimes. I don't have to pursue them, but if my father finds out, you may not be able to reap the benefits. I advise you, you'd better be polite to me, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
Seriously!"
"You shut up for me!" Zhang Yingning stood up suddenly, you a rabbit, dare to install a petal garlic with me? Even if you're going to the sky, I still beat you!
Zhu Di didn't know yet that Zhang Chengtian had become the commander, so he felt a little disappointed when he heard what he said.
"Hey, if I had known you were so fun, I should have taken you to Peking. We are a perfect match, how wonderful it would be!"
Zhang Chengtian snorted, "Then don't think about it. I'm doing fine in Yingtian. This area gathers the north and the south and has a lot of delicious food. If I go to Peiping and eat roasted whole lamb every day, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it!"
Zhu Di smiled, "Actually, it's not just roasted whole lamb, but also deer tendons, flying dragons, there are so many good things! It's a pity that I have to leave Peiping, so I can't stay any longer."
Hearing this, Zhang Shuning was slightly startled. The drunkenness happened yesterday. After a night's rest, he regained his energy and couldn't help but said to Zhu Di: "Actually, I have talked a lot with Senior Brother Hu, and Senior Brother Hu also feels that
, giving up on Peiping now may not be a good thing."
Zhu Di was stunned and said with a helpless smile: "Shun Ning, you know how much effort I have put into Beiping!"
"But you have also shouldered tens of millions of dollars in debt!"
Zhu Di was startled, a little stunned.
Zhang Shuning continued: "If you can take the opportunity to strip off your debts and throw them all to the court. Then whether you go to Liaoyang or Kaiping, you can still make use of the people and markets in Peiping, so that you can both benefit and avoid harm.
!Do you think this is still a big profit?"
Zhu Di was stunned and seemed to have something to say.
"Shun Ning, do you have any clever tricks?"
Zhang Shuning said: "My method is also very simple, which is to strip off the debt, transfer it from Prince Yan's Mansion to the Remaining Secretary, and then transfer it to the Chief Envoy..."
Zhang Shuning was about to continue talking when he suddenly realized that there was another guy next to him!
"Go away, don't let me see you."
Zhang Cheng's weather was bad, "Brother, I'm your biological brother! You can't just sit next to Zhu Di and not take me seriously!"
Zhang Shuning snorted coldly, "You can't listen to this! If you dare to talk nonsense to me again, I will beat you!"
Facing the stick in his elder brother's hand, Zhang Chengtian had no idea at all, so he could only run away in despair. As he ran, Zhang Chengtian scolded him.
Zhu Di got a huge advantage and even helped him seek benefits. The eldest brother is also a confused person who doesn't have a clear mind.
Zhang Chengtian was thinking about who to complain to.
Anyway, he saw that Zhu Di was not a good person, and in his position, he should punish evil and promote good.
"You want to do good things, you want to punish evil and promote good. Why don't you go to trouble Lan Yu and Li Shanchang? Why are you staring at Zhu Di?"
Zhang Chengtian pouted his cheeks helplessly, "Those two are too strong! I'm no match for them!"
Zhang Ximeng is really helpless, his son is still too young.
You need to mature!
However, for a while, Zhang Ximeng didn't have the energy to teach him. He still needed to take over the big mess left by Peiping smoothly.
After Zhu Di has been running the business for many years, it is indeed worth sorting out what treasures he has.
A total of eight boxes were placed in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Facing these things, Lao Zhu couldn't remain calm.
He invited Queen Ma and Zhu Biao, including Zhang Ximeng, to take stock together.
The first is the factory, which is also Zhu Di's most important industry... The woolen textile factory in Kaiping has as many as 30,000 workers of various types alone. It can produce up to 1.5 million pieces of woolen cloth every year, and it also has
Rising rapidly!
Although the wool textile factory is in Kaiping, there are also printing and dyeing, cutting, and garment making in Peiping. This entire industrial chain has more than 100,000 workers.
In addition to textile factories, the second item is the huge transportation company, which is even larger in scale.
There are 300 inland waterway shipping vessels and more than 500 seagoing vessels.
The Grand Canal, Dagukou, lumber, grain, medicinal materials, and minerals from Liaodong, woolen fabrics, cattle and horses from Beiping, silk and tea from the south, goods exchange between the north and the south, and shipping companies from Beiping account for more than half of the market.
The entire workforce actually exceeds 150,000!
"Lord, the military production in Peiping is also quite impressive now. It is basically the largest one outside of Yingtian." Zhang Ximeng said slowly.
The military industry in Peiping was left behind by Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang. After Peking was recaptured, in order to prepare for Bei Yuan's counterattack, a large-scale military workshop was left around Peiping.
At that time, swords, armor, muskets, and artillery could be produced... After so many years, Peiping has added mining, steelmaking, and ironware manufacturing, basically completing the industrial chain.
Peiping can even produce and repair textile machinery and has a large number of skilled craftsmen.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Peiping is the place with the highest industrial level in the Ming Dynasty.
This does not include the hundreds of farming companies in Peiping, as well as a large number of pastures and forest farms... In addition, two large-scale schools have also been built in Peiping.
Peking University Hall and Peking Normal School, these two schools combined, can provide more than 2,000 talents of various types every year.
After calculating all the way, even Zhu Yuanzhang secretly sighed, let alone Zhu Biao. He put Zhu Di in Peking just in the hope that his fourth brother could use his way to make a career.
Now it seems that Zhu Di not only broke out into the world, but also got a mountain of gold and a mountain of silver!
"Father, my fourth brother has made great contributions to the country! I really can't bear to take him away from Peiping, and we just take him back to Peiping."
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered slightly and couldn't help but said: "To be honest, it was only the desperate energy of the fourth child that could create such a large family business. If it were the rest of you, none of you could do it! But now that the matter is over,
There is nothing else to say, the family property in Peking is too big and must be broken up."
Zhu Yuanzhang concluded that Peiping was really too big and too fat.
A food war showed Peiping's strength.
Zhu Di contributed more than three million shi of grain, more than one-third of the ammunition invested by the imperial court.
Don't forget, this is just the initial output of the grain company. As long as you give them time, it will definitely increase sharply in a few years.
When the time comes, food, weapons, wool, minerals... Peiping will have whatever it wants.
In terms of strength, it is comparable to half of the Ming Dynasty.
"Father, although Beiping is the capital of the old Yuan Dynasty, it is not a barbaric place, but it is far less prosperous than the south of the Yangtze River. The child is still confused. Why can the fourth brother calculate so much money? But our court can't give out much.
Money!" Zhu Biao looked confused.
Zhang Ximeng sighed and said: "This is the result of Peking... and it is also the power of developing industry and commerce. Is there timber in the Central Plains? Yes, and are there ships? Yes! But the timber, grain, and ships in the Central Plains are all scattered in every household.
, there is no way to count it. It cannot be included in the wealth of the imperial court and cannot generate any income, so it can only be ignored. It seems to be a lot, but after careful calculation, there is not much available."
"But once it switches to the industrial and commercial model, in terms of money, Peking has established a large number of factory companies. It is clear at a glance how much output these factories have and how much taxes they pay. All of them can be used as forces at the imperial court's disposal. In this way, calculations
If you get up, the output will be very high, and the amount of wealth at your disposal will be staggering!"
After Zhang Ximeng concluded this, he suddenly smiled and said: "Your Highness, I am just saying roughly that Hu Yan has studied this matter very deeply and calculated it very clearly... To be honest, Princess Ningguo has a good vision. This prince-in-law is really a young talent.
,amazing talent!”
Hearing this, Lao Zhu blushed slightly. He was indeed a little embarrassed. The prince-in-law he chose was a dandy, but the husband his daughter liked was a promising young man. His vision was worse than that of a child.
"Sister, how about we invite this Hu Yan to the palace later and let us have a look?"
Empress Ma thought for a while and whispered: "It's better to go to the Royal Library and let Feng Yatou and Shu Ning invite Hu Yan over. They all came from the same school. If we can get together, we can chat. Let's go
Listen to the class and get familiar with what other young people are thinking...Don't act like a ninety-five supreme, otherwise it will be our loss if you scare away this good consort."
Lao Zhu finally nodded, "Okay, listen to my sister. We finally understand. We will never order the mandarin duck book again. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't be a horse or a cow for your children and grandchildren! In the future, we will enfeoff the children. They have the ability."
, no matter how much territory they conquer, it’s all theirs, we don’t have to worry about it!”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who never refused to admit defeat, finally had the intention to let go.
Zhang Ximeng was secretly happy. In fact, the past official system was not only a matter of left and right prime ministers. The real core was that the previous design was to enable Lao Zhu to better control the government. Now Lao Zhu is willing to let go and restrain the clan.
, there is no reason why this new reform will not be successful.
"My lord, Beiping has many assets and liabilities. What do you think we should do?"
Lao Zhu said: "What else can we do? The fourth child is no longer in Peiping. No matter what, we cannot let him bear this debt!"
