Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that Peiping was a trap. Based on Zhu Di's virtue, not leaving any surprises for him would be considered disobedient and unfilial. Therefore, Lao Zhu had been guarding against this move. But having said that, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his son had created such a big business.
It's not easy either. In the final analysis, it was he who took away Zhu Di's property.
Zhu Di owed 10 million guan, and if he secretly had another 3 to 5 million guan, he would just shoulder it, and it wouldn't be a big deal.
But when Lao Zhu found out that it could actually reach 50 to 60 million yuan, Zhu Yuanzhang was confused.
His whole body was in bad shape.
How come there are so many?
Almost 80% of the annual income!
And don’t forget, this money carries interest, which is several million dollars a year. Furthermore, as mentioned before, the annual income of the imperial court mainly consists of land tax. If the land is re-equalized, the land tax will drop even further.
If it doesn't work, he won't be able to pay off the debt for a year without eating or drinking... Zhu Yuanzhang's head was buzzing, and he didn't even have the time to get angry with Zhu Di.
In the final analysis, it is up to him to handle the difficult problems in this world. As for the solution to the problem, it naturally depends on Mr. Zhang.
Just like after so many years, Lao Zhu could only ask Zhang Ximeng for help.
In contrast, Zhang Ximeng was calmer and calmer than ever before, "My lord, actually this is not a big deal, it all depends on my lord's thoughts."
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, "You mean, let us default on the debt? Okay, then we won't pay it back!"
Zhang Ximeng waved his hands hurriedly, "I don't mean that. My lord, don't misunderstand me. Don't misunderstand me. What you mean is to understand why Peking has so little debt. It has nothing to do with King Yan. How should the imperial court provide the right medicine...
"
The monarch and his ministers gathered together to think of ideas. The others, including the prince Zhu Biao, looked at each other in dismay.
Zhu Biao frowned, "Why, how come there are so few!"
Zhu Di sighed helplessly, feeling very embarrassed.
"Brother, it was really the eldest brother's intention, but there is nothing we can do about it. He saw that it costs money to buy machines, and it costs money to purchase wool. There are so few workers, and it costs money to eat and drink. Especially for these farming companies, we have to open up wasteland for reclamation.
, all of which cost money to buy grain and farm tools. Neither your Prince Yan’s Mansion borrowed them from outside, nor did we borrow them ourselves. Your part is easy to handle, but you are worried that the abolition of the Beiping Left-behind Department will cause a lot of things, and others
All the debts have been collected, and now that we have reached this point, it will be easy to handle."
Lu Yi rubbed his temples, "What should we do? Even if Xiao Ming is filled in, the hole will not be enough. Peiping is finally trying to find a new path, but in the end it will give up halfway... If the seventh brother Ran, he will continue to stay.
Go to Peiping!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, "Your Majesty, what do you mean, Peking is not the King of Yan?"
Lu Yi was stunned for a moment and said helplessly: "Is there anything you can do?"
Lu Yicheng blinked his eyes twice. It was really me who wanted to target Zhu Di, but no one had said in those years that the seventh prince Zhu Di had a towering figure and very little power. Sooner or later he would replace the prince and merge the major sects with the smaller sects.
Zhu Yuanzhang finally found the root of everything.
The fault is indeed with me. It's just that Zhu Di has been too low-key in the past few years, so that there is a lack of that kind of discussion in restaurants. It's natural for me not to be wary.
"So, because of this, we must ask the King of Yan to leave Beiping!"
Zhang Shuning glared at his brother fiercely. Although Lu Yicheng was scared, he tried his best to glare back, "You, you are telling the truth!"
At this moment, Zhu Di frowned, and I thought for a long time: "Brother, do you really have these messy thoughts? You just want Xiao Ming to be well, and you want our family and country to become better."
Better, brother..."
Zhu Biao quickly stopped him, "You all know! If you had been vague about his character, you would have let him go to Peking. Let's discuss what we should do."
At that time, Hu Yan suddenly spoke, "Your Highness, the ordinary people have also thought that maybe the debt problem in Peiping is so terrible!"
The little guy immediately focused his attention on me.
"Tell me, he doesn't have any ideas?"
Hu Yan said: "Your Majesty, I still say the same thing. Beiping's current efficiency is extremely low, and its ability to create wealth is far beyond that of other places. Beiping is poor, and all it lacks is time. The smallest trouble now is that if King Yan leaves Beiping, there will be
It will make people's hearts fluctuate, and no one will be willing to withdraw the loan. This will cause everyone to ask for money, the cash flow will be interrupted, and Peiping will be unable to survive. So the real question is whether a suitable person can be selected to succeed King Yan.
, stabilize people’s hearts?”
After hearing those words, Zhu Biao was instantly moved.
"Yes, that's right, but the question is who can replace the seventh brother?"
The little guys look at each other, who can do it?
There is no doubt that Taishi Zhang will do it.
But the problem is that Grand Master Zhang has already resigned as Prime Minister, so how can he come to Peking to wade into the troubled waters! And to put it bluntly, Zhu Di's presence in Peking makes people fearful. If it were Zhang Chengtian, the Civil War would start next.
Apart from Zhang Chengtian, this is the Prince Zhu Biao. There is no problem for me to go to Peking in person.
But the problem is that the current government is undergoing minor reforms, and Lao Zhu has handed over the power to Zhu Biao. If I leave, who will be responsible for that small stall?
King Zhu Di of Yan?
Then Zhu Di was asked to supervise the country, and Zhu Biao was left behind in Peiping?
This is so quiet.
The little guys all have ideas, but Xia Zhifeng, you suddenly smiled. Zhang Shuning noticed it keenly and couldn't help but said: "Junior sister Xia, what is he thinking?"
Several people's eyes fell on you. Xia Zhifeng blushed at first, and then said: "I was thinking something, but I just felt that Master should be unable to do anything about that kind of thing!"
"Your father? Can I do it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in surprise: "You see, I also understand business matters!"
After the elder said this, he immediately received several eye rolls.
Zhu Di smiled wildly, "You said Lu Yicheng, does he really know or what? We, Master Zhang, know a lot about this. Especially the way of businessman and the method of management, I am the best at it.
.He even knows his own father?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, "Really? How come you've heard of it?"
Zhu Biaozhong coughed and said: "That's true. You heard that my father started his business in the early years and relied entirely on Mr. Zhang's help in planning. I was the one who set up Xiao Ming's bank. The early grain standard was also made by Prime Minister Zhang.
When it comes to how to make money and how to manage money, even several Mr. Li Xianggong combined will be Mr. Zhang’s opponent!"
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have opened a small door to a new world.
Is dad really that powerful?
But the question is, did you hear me say it? What happened?
At that time, Zhang Shuning also said: "This seventh brother... my father has been too concerned about specific affairs during those years of assisting the country and governing the country, so he is too vague, which is understandable."
Hearing that, Lu Icheng almost jumped up.
"Are they lying? Your father is very good at managing money? He is very good at making money? Why do you ask me to teach you this? Your father is so good at making money. You hate it. You hate it very much. You can eat all the food in the world without money.
!”
Zhu Di gave me a roll of his eyes, "Look at his potential, if he could learn a little bit of your father's management skills, he would be able to eat all over the world!"
"really?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was really relieved. Anyone or anything can stop a foodie's desire for delicious food!
"Yes, you are the commander of that Lao Shizi. It's quite hard to make money. You have to learn to make money from dad, and you have to earn a gold mountain! You have done it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang screamed, and suddenly there was a majestic voice, "Chengtian, does he think so of our commander?"
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around quickly and saw Zhang Ximeng's serious face. He was so frightened that the big man shrank his neck and said, "Yes, yes, you just want to inherit the family legacy!"
That time Zhang Chengtian, who was following Lao Zhu, spoke up, "Your way of managing money is to make money for the country and to make money for yourself. He learned it."
One sentence completely stopped Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.
The big fat man was instantly stunned.
At that time, Zhu Biao came over and said, "Father, sir, have they discussed a solution?"
Lu Yicheng couldn't help but smile, "Yes, there are really things in this world that Mr. Zhang can solve."
Zhang Chengtian smiled implicitly and then said: "Actually, that matter is not simple. The key point is that the currency is enough."
"Is currency enough?" Louise explained: "Sir, is currency just money? Is it enough that money is what we are talking about now?"
Zhang Chengtian chuckled, "At that time, it was so complicated to think of currency as money! The crux of Peking was the release of production capacity, and the tenfold increase in goods... But the money used to buy goods was only slightly or not enough. In other words, there was no
There are so few commodities, but there is so little currency to facilitate transactions. Therefore, there is a situation of borrowing money everywhere. The vast majority of borrowings in Peking are used to eat and drink, but to complete production. "
"Since it is for production, and it has indeed contributed to the decline of production, the problem is very complicated. All it takes is a targeted increase in currency."
Zhu Biao still frowned, "Directed increase?"
At that time, Zhang Ximeng coughed and said, "Just let the Baochao Bureau print less treasured banknotes!"
"Ah!" Zhu Biao shouted, "Father, the Yuan Dynasty's treasure banknotes were issued indiscriminately, causing such a small harm. Are you going to make the same mistake again?"
Zhang Chengtian smiled and said: "So we need to orient...that batch of treasure banknotes needs to be targeted at industrial production, and the main share should be placed in Beiping. Moreover, it can be increased blindly, and we need to control the rhythm. Gradually increase the currency and reduce the interest rate at the same time!"
"Reducing interest rates?"
Zhang Chengtian said: "That's wrong. At this time, the interest rate in Beiping is 10%, or even 17%. For private lending, the interest rate will be even lower. You plan to initially reduce the interest rate to 7%. Then issue a construction loan
The interest rate on the bonds is set at 8.7%. Before that money is gone, Peiping’s roads, cities, and ports can still develop slightly..."
When Zhu Di heard that, he was completely stunned, "Grand Master, how can such a difficult problem be solved? Isn't this a small loss for you?"
Lu Yicheng smiled and said: "So the main thing you and Your Majesty are discussing is to reserve a small number of shares for him, such as the textile factory in Kaiping, as well as the shipping company and farming company... After all, he needs to develop it next!
"
"You're going to open up? Then they pick up what's already available?" Zhu Di blurted out.
Zhang Ximeng snorted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense. If he agrees, we will go to Xu Da's house to propose marriage. If he agrees, forget it!"
