Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 95
"Chen Zongbing, I think there are still some things that need to be handled by you in the Cao Mansion. I'll just go to the various commercial houses and take a look."

"It's fine, I'll be fine when I get here, and Chen Xu will handle other things."

Obviously Chen Xuan is very confident in his sister's ability. As long as he shows up to let the people in the Cao family know that Chen Xu has this backing, it will be fine. If he really intervenes, it will lead to rumors.

Seeing that Cao Xinyue was also here, Chen Xuan was a little surprised but didn't ask more.

"Tomorrow let's go out in disguise, mainly Chen Zongbing, few people know me outside, I don't care."

"clear."

The next day, at the entrance of the Cao Mansion, Chen Xuan changed into a regular dress and put on a little beard to disguise. As long as you are not familiar with people in this era, it is basically difficult to recognize if you do some disguise. After all, there are no photos and no videos.

I just didn't expect Madam Cao to bring Cao Xinyue over. Madam Cao was still wearing mourning clothes, and Cao Xinyue was indeed wearing ordinary plain clothes.

"His Royal Highness." Chen Xu respectfully saluted.

"Ma'am, don't be too polite."

"I heard that His Royal Highness is going to visit the business house in Huzhou. Xinyue is usually naughty, but he is familiar with everywhere. Let Xinyue show you the way."

"Ma'am, this is not good."

"Xinyue, go and lead the way for His Royal Highness." Zhu Zhanchang did not expressly refuse, so Chen Xu forced Cao Xinyue to lead the way.

The daughter went out, and Chen Xu also spent all her energy to deal with the difficulties of the elders of the other clan. Just after her husband was buried, the contention for the family property has been noisy since last night. It is estimated that there will be no peace during this time. Find an opportunity to go out and avoid it.

Of course, I also have the mentality of letting my daughter have more contact with the emperor and grandson.

Zhu Zhanchang asked Chu'er Xiaosheng Yang Song and two guards to follow him today, and the necessary measures for the emperor's grandson's trip still have to be taken.

"Come on, you are familiar with the road, take us to the nearest market to have a look first."

Cao Xinyue changed into a maid's attire and walked with a few people.

"The largest raw silk fabric market in Huzhou is Jiangnan Fabric Market." Cao Xinyue introduced the destination while walking.

Chen Xuan took over the conversation: "More than [-]% of the booths in Jiangnan Fabric Market belong to the Cao family, and the other two floors belong to the Li family, another big family in Huzhou Prefecture, and the rest belong to small traders."

"Oh? Are there so many stalls in our house?" Cao Xinyue was surprised.

Both Zhu Zhanchang and Chen Xuan were speechless. This girl is really big-hearted. It is estimated that her parents protected her too well.

When you come to Jiangnan Fabric Market, you can see its prosperity from a distance.

Husi has a large output and a large market, and many people come to do business every day.

The Cao family has a huge annual fee just by renting these stalls.

Food stamps have already flowed into the cloth trading market, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Huzhou Prefecture has also opened. Zhao Quan's work efficiency is very fast, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Yingtianfu is doing a good job. It will be in Huzhou Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture and Hangzhou Prefecture. The place has a semicolon.

There are many people doing business in these places. In modern terms, there are many self-employed industrial and commercial households. ICBC is useful as soon as it is opened. Under the direction of the imperial court, low-interest loans are given to these self-employed industrial and commercial households, so that they can rent shops and do business.

Chen Xuan highly praised the bank: "His Highness's thoughts on the bank are really impressive, and so are the food stamps."

Cao Xinyue's face was full of surprise: "You made the bank and food stamps?"

"It's not accurate, I came up with an idea and got a little involved."

Suddenly, Zhu Zhanchang's image in her heart became a little taller. Her father took food stamps a month ago and said that this thing was better than treasure banknotes. He also praised the later banks, and keenly felt that the imperial court wanted to. Stimulate commerce.

I wanted to make a big fight, but I didn't expect to die of a sudden illness.

"You really did it?" Cao Xinyue asked in disbelief.

"New Moon, don't be rude to the Fifth Highness."

"It's Xinyue's rudeness, uncle, don't blame your Fifth Highness." Cao Xinyue said in a low voice
Zhu Zhanchang looked around and asked Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, are all these raw silk transactions recorded?"

Registered on the record, the transaction and transportation have to pay tax. It is slightly better for those who have a booth, and they basically have to be recorded. After all, the booths are there, and they have to pay if they don’t pay. Individual merchants who do not have a booth are basically exempt from this. one.

According to modern practice, individual industrial and commercial households have tax reductions and exemptions, which is also to stimulate business practices, but this practice is definitely not available in Daming at present.

Chen Xuan said: "It's not easy for individual traders to do business."

He knows the situation, as long as the punishment is not severe and not too harsh, if it is completely in accordance with the law, none of these traders can do business.

Chen Xuan is not a pedantic person, but he just doesn't understand what Zhu Zhanchang means, so he can only say something in a side-by-side manner.

Looking at those busy people, Zhu Zhanchang said, "Master Yao Guangxiao once told me that he used to be a little beggar, and he only made a living after becoming a monk, but he still doesn't believe in Buddhism."

Chen Xuan couldn't understand Zhu Zhanchang's words, and the two-year-old monk didn't know why Zhu Zhanchang pulled out such a sentence.

"Although he doesn't believe in Buddhism, he has a ring scar on his head and a Buddhist bead on his body. Does Mr. Chen know why?"

"Why?"

"In order to make a living, the master is still like this, and the people in the market are even more like this. Everyone is just trying to make a living."

"Your Highness..." Chen Xuan was speechless.

On the contrary, Cao Xinyue interrupted Zhu Zhanchang's emotion curiously: "Your Highness, the master you mentioned as a monk really doesn't believe in Buddhism?"

"Well, he said so himself."

"It seems that the monks in the palace are the same as the monks in our place. The monk I invited to my father's chaodu is also a fake monk."

"How to say?"

"I saw him secretly eating meat the day before yesterday."

Chen Xuan tapped the little girl on the head, and Zhu Zhanchang smiled helplessly: "Make a living, don't squat, just don't tell your mother and the elders of the clan about this."

The vast majority of ordinary people live their whole lives just to make a living. The better ones can leave their children and grandchildren with a craft or a few acres of fertile land. Life is not easy.

"Chen Zongbing, ensuring the livelihood of the people at the bottom is the top priority. Can you invite some craftsmen who weave and draw silk to come to the house, and send someone to Zheng He's place to invite a craftsman named Zhang San to let him He brought some people here."

"His Royal Highness, what is this for?" Chen Xuan was quite puzzled.

"Steam ships can increase the carrying capacity and speed of transportation, and it is also very important to increase the output of various products."

"Your Highness, do you want to replace the production process with steam engines?"

Zhu Zhanchang nodded: "Mechanized development, improve national productivity, and let Zhang San drive a steamboat when he reports to him, it's okay to be small."

"Why is that?"

"Show off."

Human beings have three rigid needs: eating and pretending.
