Zhu Zhanzhen's words shocked Zhu Zhanji. His father and his second uncle had always been at odds with each other. The second uncle acted arrogantly and had a domineering attitude, which often made it difficult for his father to step down.
Originally, he was afraid that Zhu Zhanzhen would not be aware of political affairs, and because he had maintained a good relationship with Zhu Gaoxu at a young age, it would affect his father in the future, but Zhu Zhanzhen's words shocked him.
"How come your father asked you to get close to your second uncle?"
"At that time, I couldn't figure out why my father wanted me to take a job in the Security Department. Later, I thought that my father wanted me to have a good relationship with my second uncle, but he didn't say it clearly."
"Then why is this?" Zhu Zhanji was still puzzled.
"I made a guess myself, but I don't know if it's right or not."
"you say."
"I think it may be because the relationship between the second uncle and the third uncle and my father has not been good recently. Especially after returning from the Northern Expedition, there was no war for a short period of time. The second uncle was unwilling to join the vassal, and conflicts occurred frequently. They needed someone to mediate between them, and the emperor
If grandpa often mediates between father and second uncle, he might go too far in anger, and then the brotherhood will really be irreparable."
Zhu Zhanji thought carefully and said, "Then why you?"
Zhu Zhanzhen raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Zhanji: "I should not be my father's first choice. My eldest brother is the best mediator between my second uncle and my father. But my relationship with my second uncle..."
Zhu Zhanji was furious: "My second uncle sealed Yunnan in the second year of Yongle and refused to surrender. This year, he changed the title to Qingzhou. He is still unwilling to go. It is clear that he wants to embarrass his father and the emperor's grandfather, and he has rebellious intentions."
, if I were my father, I would never indulge him like this."
"Brother, this is why my father asked me to get close to my second uncle instead of you. Your relationship with my second uncle is even worse than that between my father and my second uncle."
Zhu Zhanji touched Zhu Zhanzhen's head: "You have a smart mind. Be careful and don't be fooled by your second uncle."
"Brother, although the second uncle always causes some trouble for my father, he doesn't dare to really go beyond etiquette and law, and my father doesn't really bear a grudge against the second uncle. Let's just get along with him calmly.
"Zhu Zhanzhen reminded Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji understands the truth, but the domineering Zhu Zhanji seems to be in conflict with Zhu Gaoxu, and it is impossible to get along well with them.
Zhu Zhanzhen could only sigh to himself. During this period, he had seen the benevolence of fat father Zhu Gaochi. He was worthy of being a famous benevolent gentleman in history.
With Zhu Gaochi's strength in the court, it was possible to make Zhu Gaoxu unable to stand down in front of the emperor. Most of the civil servants in the court were his, and Zhu Gaoxu himself said that he was often scolded by civil servants in the court.
But this was just looking for some trouble. He didn't bring real evidence to accuse Zhu Gaoxu in court and demand severe punishment. Otherwise, he would not be willing to accept the vassal status. This would be enough to start a big war.
Even if it was just for the sake of his dead mother, Zhu Gaochi was not willing to really go to the point where he and Zhu Gaoxu would end up fighting each other as brothers. After all, they were biological brothers.
Zhu Gaoxu described Zhu Gaochi's actions as hypocritical benevolence and righteousness, but if a person can be hypocritical benevolence and false righteousness for a lifetime without showing his flaws, then he is true benevolence and true righteousness.
Zhu Zhanji made sure that his brother had a clear mind and was not fooling around with Zhu Gaoxu. After he was not fooled, his attitude towards using Zhao Quan also changed for the better.
He once suspected that Zhao Quan was trapped in a trap set by Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.
"Ma Xiang, go find Zhao Quan tomorrow and ask him to make preliminary preparations for the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, but you must also ask him to deposit all his money in."
This was Zhu Zhanji’s decision after careful consideration.
Therefore, businessmen in ancient times had no human rights and had to use all their assets as collateral to do things for you. However, Zhao Quan had already anticipated this situation, so he took out his assets from Jiangjia Bank.
Because to a large extent, when working with nobles, you have to do this. You have to protect their interests first, and you have to make them understand your loyalty first.
"Since Zhan Zheng is here, let's stay and discuss it together. Now is the critical stage for the establishment of the central bank."
"good."
Ma Xiang picked up the book and read: "The Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty is directly under the Account Department, which is responsible for issuing food stamps and controlling the world's money and food."
A long paragraph is all about the content discussed before.
Finally, he said: "The Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty will be headed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself to supervise all matters. Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said that he will not interfere in any daily operations."
This is equivalent to Zhu Gaochi acting as a backstage for them and letting them do whatever they want. Wherever they encounter a guy who has no eyesight, they dare not obey orders. There is an emperor behind the prince, so it is still very important for the prince to take command.
After listening to everything, Zhu Zhanzhen stood up and provided an opinion.
"Brother, what are the salaries of employees of the Central Bank of Ming Dynasty?"
"Officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs will be paid salaries based on their original grades."
"Brother, we need more money." Zhu Zhanzhen said bluntly.
Ma Xiang, Wang Botong and the others immediately stood up: "Your Highness, we are all doing our job, how dare we increase the money."
Zhu Zhanzhen understands what these people say is easy, but the more work you do, the more you pay, the more tasks you do, the more money you get.
Zhu Zhanji stretched out his hand to signal the three of them to sit down. He still valued his fifth brother's opinion.
"Tell me why you added it? How to add it?"
"It is natural to contribute to the country and do more and get more money. Can the eldest brother set up a task line and give additional rewards to subordinates for completing designated tasks? This can also stimulate everyone to be more attentive."
Zhu Zhanji thought carefully: "What kind of task should be specific."
"The central bank is not so easy to set tasks. After all, it is in charge of issuing and printing food stamps. But other banks can set how many savings each person needs to draw every month, or how many loans they lend, and how many loans they take back. They can do it in detail.
This analysis needs to be done before looking at it. The task indicators of employees at each level are different. If you complete it, you can get more money."
Get KPI for him so that employees can be stimulated to work hard to complete tasks. Otherwise, these household departments are all officials. In the early stage, because few people were lazy, there will probably be fewer people taking advantage of the situation later on.
Let alone the Ming Dynasty, at any time, even if surveillance methods are available, are there few officials taking advantage of the situation?
How to prevent fishing, money as motivation.
A wealthy party member like Zhu Zhanzhen himself may still not get much promotion, but there are many people who are rushing for money and official positions.
"For example, Ma Xiang, the central bank has just opened. He is responsible for issuing food stamps. If the operation can be maintained well within two months, he can be promoted to the director of the general office of the central bank and appointed as a sixth-grade official."
Ma Xiang hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Highness, Fifth Highness, I would never dare."
But Zhu Zhanji immediately said: "Okay, just do this, I will go and talk to my father, Grandpa Huang."
The two looked at each other and saw that the two brothers had a clear understanding of each other. Ma Xiang was stunned on the spot, only wanting to serve with all his strength.
