W The funeral of the late emperor did not follow his last wish, but was organized in a large manner. After twenty-seven days of holding the clothes, the grand ceremony of the throne was a grand ceremony. Everyone got rid of the filial piety clothes and put on new auspicious clothes to enter the palace to worship.
, But no one expected that when Zhu Houzhao appeared, although she was wearing a bright red auspicious suit and a pearl crown and jade belt, she still had a white gauze wrapped around her waist.
Zhu Houzhao did this naturally expresses his missing of the late emperor, but when the ministers and officials saw it, they were dissatisfied. Ascension to the throne is a big day, representing joy, indicating that a new emperor will dominate the world, but the emperor still obeys it, which is a bit
The meaning of inauspiciousness is that the emperor is good at making decisions and does not even reveal the news. He is just doing his own way, which naturally makes people dissatisfied.
But no matter what, the entire ascension hall was smooth. After the lengthy ceremony, the capital returned to its original state. Except for the report that the prince became the emperor and the emperor became the emperor Xiaozong, nothing seemed to have happened.
Whether the tea is cold when people leave, it is said that people are forgetful. After all, most people only focus on their own interests in the near future, and only focus on the places they can see with their naked eyes. As for the emperor, the prince, the late emperor, and the new emperor,
They are too far away.
Officials are eager to find their position in the new court. As long as the national policy remains unchanged, merchants will still be busy with their own business. The craftsmen have nothing to think about. Most people are busy until dark in the morning.
He stayed up day and night, although his salary was higher than when he was a farmer and became a tenant, and he was full, day after day, no one was exhausted. Who would care about the new emperor?
The only people who pay attention to this matter most are scholars and squire. After all, they are idle people. idle people have nothing to do, so they always have to read the newspaper. Pay attention to Shixin News, but scholars and squire seem to be not optimistic about the new emperor, and they have even been
Some people have come up with the argument that the current emperor is not as good as the previous emperor.
This kind of macro prediction is made privately, but no one cares about it, and no one is full.
However, at this time, the inner court changed quietly. Several partners came to the emperor and felt very sad. They cried and made a fuss for an hour. Zhu Houzhao and his father had one thing in common. That was soft-hearted, especially those around them.
As soon as the eight companions cried, Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear it anymore. The matter of adding a Western Factory was issued a decree while the civil and military officials in the court were busy. This was the decree, but it did not break the rules. According to the principle,
The cabinet is just a supplementary government, which only manages the affairs of the foreign court. The Western Factory naturally belongs to the inner court, and even the money is distributed by the inner warehouse. Therefore, it is too late to oppose the imperial edict. Liu Jin gets what he wants.
He was the chief eunuch in charge of seals in the West Factory, and Gu Dayong was the governor and eunuch. As for the other six companions, they were naturally filled with them.
With the emperor's will, a West Factory institution was built in a hurry to the north of the Meridian Gate. Then, he recruited scholars everywhere and started activities.
All this was done under the eyes and ears of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and every move was very concerned. At this time, Liu Chengfeng should have been in a strife. In fact, before that, Liu Chengfeng received a secret report from Zhang Yong.
It was obviously a bit late. Before he could make a decision, the decree was done.
However, for Liu Chengfeng, there seems to be no need to take care of this matter. Of course, he knew that whether to add or not, it was actually a trivial problem. Even if the West Factory was prevented, as long as the cabinet still assisted the government, everywhere
In charge of the emperor, as long as the Silijian approaches the cabinet, Liu Jin and others will remain favored in front of Zhu Houzhao. Then there will be an internal factory without the Western Factory, and these people will eventually become a force that the inner court cannot ignore.
In fact, in other people's eyes, maybe this is a sign of raising a tiger, but Liu Chengfeng's analysis is very rational. The emperor ascended the throne and had no close friends around him. In this case, someone must compete with the cabinet.
, and Liu Jin and others are closely related to the emperor, so the emperor naturally trusts them. The addition of the Western Factory is not only to satisfy the ambitions of Liu Jin and others, but in fact, it also meets the needs of the emperor.
Originally, in the expectation of the late emperor, the heavy responsibility of Liu Jin and others was entrusted to Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng was close to the emperor and let the Jinyiwei compete with the cabinet to achieve a certain balance between the inner court and the outer court, but now Liu Chengfeng
The emperor was granted the title of king, and the emperor was still in vain. The emperor had just ascended the throne and was still being restrained. The Silijian was slandered and the cabinet was talking about it. Today, he said what the emperor should do, and tomorrow he would tell Zhu Houzhao how to do it.
After gradually overcoming the pain of losing his father, this new emperor gradually realized that things could not continue like this. He was the emperor and the emperor, so how could he be controlled by others everywhere? So, Liu Jin and others gradually became popular.
Originally, the cabinet did not seem to be in a hurry to drive Liu Chengfeng away. Since the West Factory was built, it seems that the obstacles to Liu Chengfeng were quite serious. Liu Chengfeng might come out to object, and the cabinet was obviously pulling it out.
It was like sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight, but Liu Chengfeng didn't move at all, so the angry cabinet naturally did not expect Liu Chengfeng. Then, several envoys had already started writing a letter saying that it was Liu Chengfeng.
As the King of Chu, he was reluctant to join the vassal state, which violated the etiquette system. Now the edict to be named the king has been issued for two or three months, so he cannot be delayed any more. I beg the emperor to issue an order to order Liu Chengfeng to join the vassal state immediately.
At first, there were only a few such edicts. Then, there were more and more edicts. The emperor was indifferent and seemed to have no reaction at all. As a result, the cabinet became even more straightforward and directly visited Empress Dowager Zhang, all of which were discussed, surrounding the ancestors.
The rules set were all over the place, and they said that this was the last wish of the late emperor and that they must be followed. Queen Mother Zhang has been confused these days, but when she heard the word "Last Emperor", she finally made a compromise. Then a decree was issued, Xuan Liucheng
Feng immediately entered the palace to meet him.
In the Chu Palace in the capital, the upper and lower levels have begun to be busy. It is a matter of time before the family will take it away. Therefore, no matter when the palace agrees to the Liu family leave the capital, the preparations should be made, and the imperial edict is required.
Before he arrived, Liu Chengfeng was talking to the account room in the mansion. To be honest, he knew that he had made countless money over the years, and he also knew that these silver was astronomical, whether it was Lirenfang, Jubao Building or Jubao
The business or the scholarship, and even the taxes in the vassal states of Lianzhou are extremely considerable wealth. Most of these wealth is managed by Wen Chenxi, but this is also the name, the real specific details are still the accounts in the palace.
The houses are counting, and Jubao Money House is also taking care of him.
Now that it is time to move, Liu Chengfeng suddenly cares about his income. After all, the family is far away and there is no money. When they go there, they will definitely spend a lot of money, and they must have a clear idea.
The reason why Liu Chengfeng's annual income was not only deposited by ordinary expenses, but also gave Liu Chengfeng a generous amount of capital.
After providing convenience, the prince wanted to check the accounts, and the accountant immediately went to communicate with the money house. Finally, he gave a number. It was enough to say it to make people shocked, and even Liu Chengfeng was shocked.
"Prince, if you only count the cash silver, the total cash silver on your hand is 179.32 million taels..."
One trillion, seventy-nine million...
Liu Chengfeng was stunned. He was only concerned about expanding his business over the years, but he never thought that he had accumulated so much income. However, he thought that there was nothing wrong with it. Now, the annual income of a single Jubao Building exceeds 40 million yuan every year.
Two silver coins, Liu Chengfeng earns about 10 million yuan every year. Jubao Trading Company has a tendency to surpass Jubao Building in the current year. Liu Chengfeng only accounts for less than the one in the palace. In addition, there are
Lirenfang, now Lirenfang has been opened all over the country. Liu Chengfeng accounts for a large part of Lirenfang, and two or three million a year is stable. Lianzhou's taxes have also increased in recent years, so that's even more.
Needless to say.
In addition to the other expenses, although these businesses actually make the most profitable is the palace, the expenses in the palace are also large after all. The emperor wants to build schools, roads, and river embankments, and they are actually used.
Although the money in the inner treasury and the expenses of Liu Chengfeng’s family are quite large, there is a limit after all. This family support fee is a drop in Liu Chengfeng’s income.
Although with the rise of business, a large amount of gold and silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty from many parts of the world, the price of silver has been depreciated a lot. In the past, a person could easily support his family with one tael of silver, but now it is difficult to maintain without five or six taels of silver.
, Land price soared ten times and a hundred times, but even Liu Chengfeng's wealth was still shocked. In just a few years, his private money seemed to be comparable to the inner treasury in the palace.
Nothing further, he nodded to the account room and said, "Come to the account book and come to me to see."
The accountant quickly handed the book to Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng calculated it one by one. After confirming it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was the first time he knew that he had become the biggest rich man in the world, and the wealth in the world was only afraid.
There is one Chengdu in my hands and with sufficient funds, it seems that when I arrive in Lianzhou, my life will not be too bad.
"I'll exchange it with the money bank branch for full silver banknotes. Then I'll go to the money bank in Lianzhou to withdraw some, so that they can prepare first."
After reading the book, Liu Chengfeng reconciled the room.
