Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

@@Da Ming is very rich,

The Ming court was very rich,

Ming merchants and officials are also wealthy today.

However, Zhu Youjian has no money!

Ever since Zhu Youxiao kicked him out of the capital to reform through labor in the farm, Xinwang Mansion has become transparent in the capital. The huge Xinwang Mansion lives with the little money and grain distributed in the palace every year. No official in the court can live better than him. Xinwangfu is comfortable?

The family lives in a house allocated by the imperial court. The imperial court distributes a normal salary and a low-income bank every year. During festivals, there are additional benefits. In Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year’s Day, Zhengdan, and Shangyuan, the imperial court will considerately distribute extra fruits, vegetables, meat and rice, and the imperial court If there is something good, the cabinet will also give officials some benefits.

For example, in stocks, all the officials in the capital have made a fortune, and the Prince of Zhou's Mansion has been involved. It is said that Zhu Gongyun personally went to Zhu Youxiao to apply for it, and Zhu Youxiao directly distributed some of his shares to others. King Zhou, but only King Xin's Mansion doesn't have it.

Because Prince Xin's Mansion has no money!
Zhu Gongyun has Zhou Wang’s logistics, plus the net worth after the original grain field was redeemed by Henan, he has the capital to buy stocks from the imperial court, but Xinwang’s mansion has no money to buy, Xinwang’s mansion is poor!

Especially Zhu Youjian, the owner of the stall, who previously sponsored the Donglin Party and those Confucian scholars, wiped out the family property of the Xinwang Mansion.

It would be fine if he could keep a good reputation among the people, but he didn't leave any good reputation. Instead of being grateful to Zhu Youjian, those Confucian scholars and the Donglin Party turned around and forgot about Zhu Youjian.

What's even more unfortunate is that Zhu Youjian also took advantage of Zhou Kui, the father-in-law. Zhou Kui borrowed money from Daming Bank in the name of Zhu Youjian, but the money came out and had nothing to do with Zhu Youjian.

Now Zhou Kui used the loan to open a glass factory and accumulated his first pot of gold, and later engaged in vegetable farming and Apocalypse textile machines, earning a lot of money, but Xinwang's mansion is miserable.

Although Zhu Youxiao looked down on Zhu Youjian, the elm-headed Zhu Youjian, but Zhang Yan was kind-hearted, and she felt good about Princess Xin Zhou.

Speaking of it, since the beginning of Ming Dynasty, the emperor's empress has been a small family of Xiaojiabiyu, who would not consider the daughter of aristocratic officials in order to prevent the harem from intervening in politics, not to mention Zhang Yan, Mingyan, and Princess Zhou, who is also a beautiful master.

These two sisters are both extremely beautiful, and they are both kind masters with a kind heart. They know that their men are hardworking, they know how to be considerate, and they also understand righteousness, so the relationship between the two sisters is very good.

Xinwang Mansion has been able to support these years, and Zhang Yan has helped a lot.

At the beginning, Zhang Yan reminded Mrs. Zhou to do some small business or buy some stocks. After all, if there were no accidents, the king of faith, Zhu Youjian, would not be able to be emperor in this life.

Not to mention that Zhu Youxiao is physically strong, surrounded by cronies and guards, there is no possibility of falling into the water, and the Donglin Party has been cleaned up by Zhu Youxiao over and over again, and now it is suppressed and beaten by Zhang Haogu's new party. The Donglin Party can't wait to kneel down and call Dad to Zhu Youxiao, so how dare they mess around.

If something really goes wrong with Zhu Youxiao, the Donglin Party has no doubt that the new party will immediately push Zhu Youxiao's son to the throne, and then launch a devastating blow to the Donglin Party on the grounds of being a king. Under the pressure of the Xiongzhu, the Donglin Party has absolutely no way out. What can a group of Confucian scholars who only come here for comparison fight with those from the New Party.

Look at those people in the New Party. The generals either conquered the grasslands and destroyed the Tatars, or they were handsome soldiers who conquered the country and destroyed the temples, or they braved the wind and snow for thousands of miles to destroy the clan; look at the civil servants. If you are a good player, not to mention fighting, there is no one in the new party.

Facing a group of masters who can fight and dare to kill, the Donglin Party is really relying on Zhu Youxiao's support to survive. Otherwise, it is impossible to have a Donglin Party in the cabinet now, such as Huang Liji and Qian Qianyi. Already been impeached and gone.

Zhu Youxiao's own prestige overwhelms the world, and his son Zhu Ciran, what is this?
Orthodoxy, the greatest orthodoxy!

Don't talk about the New Party, the Donglin Party has nothing to say, and the country is stable, so what else can they say?

After all, to inherit the great line is to establish a descendant but not to establish an elder. Zhu Youjian is just the emperor's younger brother. As long as Zhu Youxiao's son has no problems, Zhu Youjian will not be able to ascend the throne in his life.

And it is impossible for today's vassal princes to sit on a large piece of fertile land, without land
You can only run the business by yourself, which is why Zhang Yan persuaded the Zhou family, seeing how rich Zhou Wang Zhu Gongyan is now, you have to think about yourself.

However, the Xinwang Mansion has no money and Zhang Yan can't help the Zhou family much. It's not that the Zhou family has never considered a loan, but it is a pity that the loan quota of the Xinwang Mansion has been taken up by her father Zhou Kui. Now Zhou Kui's loan has not been repaid. It is impossible for the Wangfu to get another loan from Daming Bank.

As the Daming Bank established by Zhang Haogu, it fully refers to the banks of later generations to prevent all kinds of loopholes, fraudulent loans, and bad debts.

At present, the loan quota of Xinwangfu is occupied by Zhou Kui. If Xinwangfu can't get the loan, Zhou's has no choice. She can't do anything if she wants to do some business.

After Zhu Youjian came back, what he faced was the impoverished Xinwang Mansion, all the things were extremely simple, and some buildings had not even been repaired for several years, and many servants of Xinwang Mansion were dismissed because they could not afford to support them.

It stands to reason that the salary allocated by the imperial court to the prince includes money, rice, silk, yarn, and horses, etc., but can it be the same in the early Ming Dynasty as it is now?

Zhu Youxiao was not polite to the vassal kings everywhere, and he was also not polite to the princes. After all, they should be treated equally, so all kinds of things were finally calculated and handed over to the princes and vassals.

The Xinwang Mansion does not have as many properties as the vassals of various places, nor does it have so many grain fields for the imperial court to buy. Even Zhu Youjian was fooled by the Donglin Party before, and he did not buy any property at all. The money was not used to fund the Donglin Party. Just to buy books and the like, how much money can they have left?
In addition to the huge renovation and maintenance of Prince Xin's Mansion, the salaries of the servants in the mansion, the extra benefits for the annual holidays, and all kinds of necessary things for the prince, why not spend money on these?

The money allotted by the imperial court for a year is enough for Xin Wangfu to spend a year in a hurry, and there is basically nothing left.

Facing this situation, Zhu Youjian was stunned.

He can't be the emperor anymore, so he must have a better life, right?
My own emperor brother is so rich. The annual imperial income is 6000 to [-] million taels of silver. Although Zhu Youxiao doesn’t want a cent, Zhu Youxiao also has royal enterprises and copyrights, such as Apocalypse textile machines, steam engines, and all kinds of strange things. Weird things, such as kerosene lamps and small toys, these things give Zhu Youxiao an astronomical figure for a year, not to mention Zhu Youxiao also has various shares.

Don't look at the disappearance of Huangzhuang, but when all kinds of things add up, Zhu Youxiao's annual income is as high as more than 400 million taels of silver, and even Daming Bank has Zhu Youxiao's shares.

After all, the initial capital of Daming Bank was provided by Zhu Youxiao and the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he didn't know exactly how much money Zhu Youxiao had every year.

Anyway, in addition to the repair and maintenance of the imperial city, the salary and benefits of the eunuchs, maids and guards, he has the money to pay benefits to the officials and buy some novelties for his palace.

But neither Zhu Youxiao nor Zhang Yan liked luxury, so they really didn't spend much, most of them were spent on Zhu Youxiao's research.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao spending 10,000+ taels of silver today to make a power machine, and tomorrow spending hundreds of thousands to research internal combustion engines, Zhu Youjian is envious, but unfortunately the money has nothing to do with him.

Ask him to ask Zhu Youxiao for money, Zhu Youjian doesn't have the guts, he is afraid of being slapped by his old brother who has become a stranger, if Zhu Youxiao flashes a big ear, Zhu Youjian can't bear it .

You can't ask Zhu Youxiao for money, because Zhu Youxiao won't give it.

It is also impossible for the prince to ask the Ministry of Accounts for money, not to mention that Lu Xiangsheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Accounts, is Zhang Haogu's man.

Seeing that the warehouse of his palace can run rats, Zhu Youjian, who was so poor that he was going crazy, thought about it, so he had to ask his father-in-law Zhou Kui to try.

After all, Zhou Kui is famously rich right now, a wealthy man in the capital!

At present, there are four gods of wealth in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, namely Zhou Wang Zhu Gongyun, Zhang Guoji, the head of the state, the president of the Daming Bank, and Zhou Kui, the father-in-law of Zhu Youjian.

To be called the God of Wealth and extremely rich shows how rich Zhou Kui is now.

With such a rich old father-in-law, although Zhu Youjian felt that it was shameful to gnaw on the old, but if he didn't gnaw on the old, his Xinwang Mansion would not be able to survive.

On the third day after returning to the capital, Zhu Youjian, who learned about the predicament of the Xinwang Mansion and the high prices in the capital, lamented the difficulty of living in the capital and tried to find ways to make money.

While eating simple tea and light meals, Zhu Youjian thought about his father-in-law's wealth, and couldn't help but said to Zhou: "My concubine, the palace is struggling right now, the servants of the huge palace have been dismissed scattered, and many buildings are waiting to be repaired. There is not enough money in hand.”

"You said that if you talk to your father-in-law about borrowing, is it possible?"

Zhou knew what kind of iron cock her father was, but she thought that it was her own father and her husband's father-in-law, so she couldn't be indifferent to her family's plight, right?

So Zhou Shi nodded and said softly: "My lord can try it, do you need my concubine's help?"

Zhu Youjian shook his head, it would be embarrassing enough to ask his father-in-law to borrow money, how could he ask his wife to write another book.

After eating, Zhu Youjian took out some money and bought some gifts cruelly, and then went to find Zhou Kui in the carriage of Prince Xin's Mansion.

Now Zhou Kui has moved to a new house, which is very beautiful, all the way to Zhou Kui's house, looking at the tall lintel and Zhou's house above, Zhu Youjian knows how rich he is.

With so much money, if I borrow a little from my father-in-law, I won't disagree, right?

While thinking, Zhu Youjian got out of the carriage, and the concierge servant of Zhou Kui's house saw that it was Zhu Youjian, the prince's son-in-law, who hurriedly opened the door and reported to his master.

"My lord, my lord, His Royal Highness Xin Wang is here!"

Zhou Kui, who was leisurely sipping tea and listening to music, his eyes widened when he heard it: "What?! Who's here?!"

The servant said, "His Royal Highness, King Xin."

Zhou Kui thumped in his heart immediately, and immediately said: "Quick, hurry up, get down, and then remove all these valuable things, remove them all!"

While ordering the servants to move things, Zhou Kui took off his expensive Shu brocade robe and put on a linen one before running to meet his son-in-law.

"His Royal Highness Xin, ouch, why didn't you say anything before you came, and we didn't make any preparations." Zhou Kui's voice could be heard clearly from afar.

And as Zhou Kui walked over with a smile, Zhu Youjian also said: "My son-in-law pays his respects to my father-in-law."

After all, he came to borrow money, and Zhu Youjian also knew that his status as a prince was of little use now, so he didn't put on airs.

"I can't do it," Zhou Kui said, looking at Zhu Youjian, and seeing a servant behind Zhu Youjian carrying a gift box, his eyes lit up, and the smile on his face increased by three points: " Oh, come now, what gift do you bring?"

Zhu Youjian said: "I have been away for a long time, and my family is thanks to your father-in-law for taking care of me. Now that the king is back in the capital, how can I not come to thank you?"

care?

What a joke, Zhou Kui didn't go to the palace because he had nothing to do, because he was afraid that his daughter would ask him to borrow money.

The water poured out by the married daughter, if the daughter is married well, it’s fine, but it’s okay to believe that Wang Zhu Youjian has no chance of ascending the throne, and it’s okay to offend his elder brother, the emperor, and even the whole new party thinks Zhu Youjian is not pleasing to the eye , and the Donglin Party is too lazy to talk to Zhu Youjian, both sides are not pleasing, what is the use of Zhu Youjian as a trustworthy king?

Zhou Kui doesn't look down on Zhu Youjian at all right now, he makes a lot of money doing business with the New Party, which is much more profitable than good land.

But now that his son-in-law Xinwang came with a gift, Zhou Kui still entertained Zhu Youjian very warmly.

According to the value of the gifts brought by Zhu Youjian, the value is cut in half, which is the expenses for entertaining Zhu Youjian.

Zhou Kui was so stingy that he didn't even want to pay for Zhu Youjian's entertainment.

As the tea was served, Zhou Kui and Zhu Youjian also chatted about their parents.

Originally, Zhou Kui thought that Zhu Youjian just came to say that he was back, and asked about the situation of the capital by the way, but Zhou Kui never expected that Zhu Youjian, the original nerd, was not only not stupid, but also thick-skinned.

Zhu Youjian, who had been fooled by the Donglin Party, was also because he had no other choice but the Donglin Party. After all, the Donglin Party was the eunuch;

Celebrities, etc. are all Donglin Party, and it is his political correctness to fight against the eunuch party, so he has no eyes and ears to control the Donglin Party, so he has to pinch his nose and continue to use those guys from the Donglin Party that are harmful to the country and the people.

But Zhu Youxiao is not a fool. Although he has been fascinated by the Donglin Party since he was a child, after all, he also worked in the farm for several years and gained a few different insights. His skin is obviously thicker.

After a short chat with the parents, Zhu Youjian naturally guided Zhou Kui to Zhou Kui's house now, and praised Zhou Kui's new house for its spaciousness, beauty, and elegance, and it was worth a lot of money at first glance. Up and down, seriously doubting Zhu Youjian's purpose.

And Zhu Youjian did not disappoint Zhou Kui. After talking about Zhou Kui's house, Zhu Youjian turned his head and talked about the current situation of Xinwang Mansion. Lonely, the poor warehouse of the palace can run away mice, the annual benefits of the servants have been gone for a long time, many servants have to be dismissed in order to save money, and even the princess has no new clothes or jewelry for a long time.

Zhou Kui's eyelids were jumping when he said this, and Zhu Youjian finally got to the point: "My father-in-law, I didn't realize how difficult Xinwang's Mansion is now after I came back. Seeing that Xinwang's mansion can't be turned around, I have no choice but to do this." Come to my father-in-law for help."

"I also hope that you, father-in-law, will help you to turn around Prince Xin's mansion. When Prince Xin's mansion is turned around, I promise to return it to you immediately."

After saying this, Zhu Youjian felt his face flustered with embarrassment, but he still looked at Zhou Kui, hoping that his father-in-law would help him and his daughter and son-in-law.

As soon as Zhou Kui heard that he asked for money, his face immediately turned ugly. Looking at the earnest Zhu Youjian, Zhou Kui sighed: "His Royal Highness, it's not that I don't want to help you, but now, I really don't have much money in my hand." .”

Zhu Youjian asked: "My father-in-law, you are one of the four gods of wealth in the capital. You are a wealthy man in the capital. How can you have no money?"

When Zhou Kui heard about the Four Great Gods of Wealth, his expression changed: "What are the Four Great Gods of Wealth? What are the richest men in the capital? Who is spreading rumors? I want to sue him for slander, slander!"

"His Royal Highness, you can't listen to rumors from outsiders. I only have a few dollars. How did you become the God of Wealth? You can't believe it!"

Zhu Youjian continued to ask: "But when the king returned to the capital a few days ago, he saw that the stock price of your Zhili Iron and Steel Company broke through one tael of silver. At that time, you were beating the gongs and drums."

Zhou Kui's face froze, and then he sighed: "Oh, you don't know, His Royal Highness, the Zhili Iron and Steel Company's money is not my own. Whether it's the old man or Zhang Guozhang, it's all for me. To be clear, most of the money belongs to the shareholders.”

"And the money is used to develop the Zhili Iron and Steel Company. It cannot be used indiscriminately. There is a shareholder meeting to supervise this."

"Your Highness Xin Wang, you may not know that these days, we have built three new steel factories, and imported coal and iron ore from Shanxi and Henan. We spend money like water, and we have no money at all."

"Look at my house, it looks big, but I don't want to buy this house. I have to pay the money. If you don't buy it, how can shareholders believe that you have the money and ability?"

"After buying this house, I don't have much money. You can see that the things in the house are all from the original. I don't have any good things."

"Now the old man has only a little money left in his hand. He still needs to maintain this family. He has to consider all aspects and take good care of him. What can this little money do? My heart is about to break. gone."

Zhou Kui's eyes were red as he spoke, and he looked aggrieved. Those who didn't know thought he was really poor enough to jingle.

But how could Zhu Youjian believe that Zhou Kui had no money? Your daughter should sell off the palace, we are all a family, so I will help you at least.”

Zhou Kui sighed deeply: "Oh, that's all! Your Royal Highness Xin Wang said so, so I will show my old truth."

Before Zhu Youjian could be happy, Zhou Kui took out an ingot of silver from his bosom: "These ten taels of silver are old

Husband has only savings left, His Royal Highness Xin Wang will take it away! "

Zhu Youjian looked at the ingot of silver in front of him, his face was not good:
"Ten taels of silver?!"
