Chapter seven hundred and thirty second: to make a fortune
Zhu Houzhao coughed and then started to talk about the Eight Classics, saying: "People in the Tang Dynasty regard fatness as beauty, but there is a woman in Qiantang who has a well-proportioned figure but no fat on her body. She has willow-leaf eyebrows and red-phoenix eyes. There is a scholar who saw her.
When he fell in love with her, he was immediately shocked and fell in love with her. He returned home and insisted on pestering his parents to find a matchmaker for her.
However, the scholar's family was quite wealthy, and his parents couldn't resist, so they had no choice but to agree, so they made arrangements, paid a betrothal gift, and married the girl into the family. The scholar was naturally satisfied and satisfied. When others asked him how his bride was, he would
He told people that there was no woman better than his wife in the world, so his neighbors were envious of her."
Zhu Houzhao laughed and continued: "So the neighbors came to the scholar's parents one after another, showing their envious expressions, but who knew that these parents were really saying that this new woman Hong did not do well and had a bad temper. No matter how evil the world is,
His wife was not as good as this woman, and she said many bad things about her. The scholar's mother was the most indignant, and often even told people that if her son marries such a woman, sooner or later his family will be ruined."
Zhu Youtang was confused when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Why do the scholar and his parents have completely different views on women?"
Zhu Houzhao stuck out his tongue and said: "Master Liu said that the reason is actually very simple. The scholar loves this woman because in his eyes, she is beautiful, gentle and intelligent. But in the eyes of his parents, is the woman good?
Good-looking, gentle or not are completely useless. A woman must be talented. Isn’t there a saying that a woman’s virtue is to be without talent? A woman’s talent lies in her role as a celebrity.
Whether she is good or not depends on whether she can completely follow her own will. So the difference between the parents and the scholar comes out. The things that the scholar values most are in the girl, so the scholar is satisfied, but the things that the parents value most are not in the girl, so the girl is not.
I am very dissatisfied. Master Liu said that this story is actually a metaphor for the present. My father, the emperor, and my son have the courage to ask: What is a peaceful and prosperous age?"
Zhu Youtang is such a smart person. He immediately understood the intention of Liu Chengfeng's story. Everyone has a different focus. There are a thousand satisfied women among a thousand people. What you like may not be the same for others.
中. The world is the same, the world is the same. Some people will say yes
, some people will also say that Zhu Youtang has his own understanding of what a peaceful and prosperous era is. He pondered for a moment and said: "Of course there are no more refugees, everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, and then there is a famine."
In the year, the imperial court also had enough power to provide relief to the victims, so that the people could survive the difficult times."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, in the eyes of Master Liu and Erchen, this is actually a peaceful and prosperous age, so Master Liu often said to Erchen, "Father is a sage, it is because of this that the world is so peaceful.
Especially in the past few years, the number of refugees has dropped sharply from hundreds of thousands to negligible. The people are farming and working. Although the grain production has decreased,
There is a little less, but not much. Merchant ships can bring back boatloads of food from Annan, Luzon, Chenla and other places every year. In previous years, people in various states and counties would die of hunger, especially in the deep winter, when they were all on the road.
You can see the corpses of people who froze to death, but now there are almost fewer and fewer of them. The people have something to do, so naturally their hearts have calmed down and they no longer cause trouble."
Zhu Houzhao continued: "Therefore, Wei Chen and Master Liu both said that now is the time of peace and prosperity, and the great achievements of my father are enough to leave a name in history and be praised by future generations. But the ministers do not see it this way. What they value is the human heart, which is
In their view, the so-called prosperous age of etiquette, justice and integrity means that people have no passion, and people have no passion.
They have all been educated, so they can not pick up lost things on the road and never close their homes at night. Whenever they see someone extravagant, their eyes feel like they are filled with sand, and they immediately think of the allusion about the merchant girl who does not know the hatred for the country's subjugation, but still sings about the flowers in the backyard across the river. When they see the merchant
They wore bright clothes and saw the common people running around to make money, and they felt that the sky was falling.
He is going to die. In fact, if I have to be bold, my son, I would like to say that the daily life of these people is not luxurious, and there is not a house full of servants, and there is not a house with bright clothes and angry horses. They are brightly dressed and angry with horses. They realize that this is a matter of course
, but they can't see other people singing and dancing. Therefore, from my perspective, the so-called peaceful and prosperous age in these people's eyes and the eyes of my father are
The peace in the world is thousands of miles away, so why should my father be angry with them? The country belongs to our Zhu family. When the people have food and clothing, they will only praise the father's sage. But if the people are not clothed,
But he still has to be educated by Nao Shizi. In the end, it is my father who resents me. My father goes his own way, so why should he care about what the ministers say."
Zhu Houzhao almost followed the script, almost becoming Liu Chengfeng's parrot. However, his words were not unreasonable. Zhu Youtang agreed with most of them, but he didn't like some parts, especially that sentence.
No matter what the ministers said, Zhu Youtang shook his head and said: "The ministers are the pillars of the country."
, How can you be so indifferent? You must remember this." He paused and said: "But your reasoning is quite interesting. Yes, the ministers were wrong about the business. It seems that Liu Cheng
Feng has taught you a lot, and I am very pleased. I have decreed that the imperial court can no longer interfere with the business of the merchant house and the Treasure Building.
, let you handle everything by yourselves." He gave Zhu Houzhao a deep look and said, "Do you know that I did this because of your plan. After reading those memorials today, I thought that so many ministers in the court were actually related to me.
It is really unimaginable to be disloyal and deviant. You are different from me. You are young. If you dominate the world in the future,
, how can we subdue them? I leave the Jubao Tower and the trading house here, and you are the largest shareholder of this trading house and the Jubao Tower. This trading house and the Jubao Building are the private property of the palace, just like the factory guards. Once the ministers of the imperial court become disloyal,
, you can still rely on the trading house and the Treasure Building, at least you can mobilize all the merchants in the world at your disposal."
Zhu Houzhao said quickly: "I know it."
Zhu Youtang smiled, waved his hand and said, "Go down, I'm tired too." He glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and there was something complicated in his eyes that was hard to let go of, and then he lowered his head, deliberately not looking at the prince.
Zhu Houzhao did not realize the profound meaning of Zhu Youtang. Today was the first time that he said such a lot of truth in front of his father. Although it was just parroting, it was enough to make him excited for a while. He saluted happily.
, resigned and went out.

Zhu Houzhao came out of the Zhengxin Palace and went out of the palace with great interest, and went directly to Beizhen Fusi. He was eager to share the conversation with his father just now, and he was eager to share it with Liu Chengfeng. When he arrived at Beizhen Fusi, no one was there.
It was expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would come, and at this moment the eunuch came to the palace to read out the imperial edict. There were two copies of the imperial edict, among which
One is for the official who released the imperial staff, and the other is a gold medal for immunity from death for the trading firm and Jubao Tower. The imperial edict was read out, and Liu Chengfeng received the edict and was ordering people to hang the imperial edict to Jubao Trading Company and Jubao Tower.
Zhu Houzhao came over and said happily: "Why, Master Liu, the imperial edict is here?"
Liu Chengfeng's expression softened a lot, and he was not as stern as he was to the captain, and said: "Why is Your Highness here? Your Highness, sometimes it is better to avoid suspicion. At this juncture, you came here, what will others think?
"
It makes sense for Liu Chengfeng to say this. It is really not appropriate for the prince to appear here at this time. Liu Chengfeng just slapped the minister and made a fool of all the officials. When the prince appeared, people who didn't know were still
I thought that the prince was also involved in the plot, and Liu Chengfeng was hated by everyone, so that was fine, but if he ruined the prince's reputation, the crime would be quite big.
Zhu Houzhao could not understand Liu Chengfeng's intention. He curled his lips and said, "I can go wherever I want. Is there anyone who can stop me? Master Liu, this time when the imperial edict came down, I thought of something.
.”
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "I wonder what His Highness the Crown Prince has in mind."
Zhu Houzhao said: "Master Liu, think about it, the matter has not been announced yet, but once the news of the imperial edict spreads, wouldn't all the merchants in the world be overjoyed? Master Liu said before that these merchants are now in danger.
After today, I don’t know tomorrow, don’t look at it
Today is glorious, but everyone's heart is hanging, just like someone who suddenly got rich, they are always afraid that one day they will have nothing. So many businessmen dare not invest too much money. After all, once the money is invested, once the court changes its tune,
, they will lose all their money."
"Now that the imperial edict has come out, it is equivalent to giving them a reassurance. By then, the merchants will definitely become more courageous. Then the merchants will probably rush to invest. Once this happens, what will happen?"
Liu Chengfeng secretly laughed in his heart. Any fool knows what will happen. The market will be more prosperous by then. Overnight, the market value of everything will increase, just like Jubao Bank. In the past, merchants deposited more and borrowed less.
In the end, I am afraid that less money will be saved and more loans will be taken. The biggest profit of the bank lies in borrowing money. This is for sure.
However, he knew it clearly in his heart, but he played a little trick. He was stunned for a moment and asked: "So what?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled triumphantly. He finally knew something in the world that Master Liu had never expected. This was a sense of accomplishment. He hurriedly said: "Master Liu, we are going to get rich."
