Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 48
"Employee?"

Ma Hua and Ma Yun immediately exclaimed when they saw the person coming, and then something rang out. They didn't dare to do anything anymore, they quickly got up and knelt down in front of the young man and said loudly: "Caomin! Ma Hua, Ma Yun has seen His Majesty! Your Majesty, Sheng An! "

Zhu Youjian immediately helped the two of them up with a smile, and at the same time finally said repeatedly: "Hahaha, okay, it's not the first time I've met, I only have one identity here, and that's your boss. Just call me my boss, don't be so restrained."

"How dare!"*2
The two quickly said in unison.

Zhu Youjian immediately put on a serious face: "I say yes, or no!"

"Ah this..."

The two looked at each other and had to agree.

After the three of them were seated, Ma Hua stood up first, took the accounts that had just been sorted out, came to Zhu Youjian and handed them over, and said at the same time: "Your Majesty... uh, my boss, this is the account of the chamber of commerce last month, look at it look!"

"Well, okay."

Zhu Youjian nodded, took the account and flipped through it casually, and then directly turned to the last page to read the summary.

"Profit this month is on the rise compared to last month."

After reading this line of summary, Zhu Youjian immediately narrowed his eyes with a smile. There is no need to worry about anything else, as long as he knows that he is making money, and he is making more money every month!
Putting down the account with a bang, Zhu Youjian, who was in a good mood, immediately announced with a smile: "Yes, you have done a good job. Let me know that starting from this month, everyone's salary will increase by [-]%, which is considered a reward for everyone's hard work." Already!"

After hearing this, Ma Hua and Ma Yun immediately got up and bowed down to salute and thanked: "Thank you, Master, the two of us have thanked Master on behalf of everyone!"

"Hehe, it's nothing! Nothing! As long as everyone works hard, the chamber of commerce will get better every year and earn more money every year. I will never be stingy with money. It's really good if everyone is good!" Zhu Youjian He smiled and waved his hand.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian straightened his face, and immediately said: "Okay, while you have time today, you can show me all the accounts from this year to this month."

"Yes!"

Speaking of which, the two horses also looked serious.

Ma Hua immediately found out this year's account summary from the bookshelf beside him, and handed it to Zhu Youjian.

And Zhu Youjian sat in Ma Hua's position and began to examine it carefully.

On the side, Wang Chengen and the two horses waited quietly, waiting for Zhu You to finish checking the accounts.

A quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed, three quarters of an hour passed...

After more than an hour, Zhu Youjian, who had checked all the accounts this year, put down the account book, first rubbed the center of his brows to relieve his fatigue, then stretched comfortably and stood up, his face finally The smile appeared again.

"Not bad! As of this month, the light profit has exceeded 600 million taels, which is 200 million taels more than last year. Although the profit in the north has declined severely due to the Ningjin War, the gold and silver trade in the newly developed East Ocean this year has not only It made up for the loss and made a lot of money, not bad! Not bad!"

Zhu Youjian made a satisfactory comment.

The two horses couldn't help showing a relieved expression, and their whole bodies were relieved.

It is easy for them to say a few million taels, but if outsiders know the accounts of the Huangming Chamber of Commerce for these years, they will be shocked. If I knew that the current tax revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty is only about 500 million taels, excluding Liao pay and official salaries After expenditures such as family expenses, royal family expenses, etc., there are only a few 10 taels of silver left in the treasury every year to maintain the operation of the court.

And the annual profit of the Huangming Chamber of Commerce is almost the same as Daming's tax revenue, or even more. This is definitely considered as rich as an enemy!

If some officials, especially Guo Yunhou, the current Minister of the Ministry of Households, know, they will be jealous to the point of jealousy!
God knows how cold this poor Minister of the Ministry of Finance is when he looks at the empty treasury after spending every year, and how much pressure is on his shoulders!

Although, as the chief financial officer of the entire Ming Dynasty, it is reasonable to say that he should have the arrogance of tens of thousands of transactions with a big stroke, but in fact, the Minister of the Ministry of Households is simply eager for a penny. Break the flower in half!

It's really that the treasury, which can run mice wherever it is empty, can't give him the confidence to be proud!
In contrast, what surprised Zhu Youjian was that after he ascended the throne, when he checked his internal funds, he found that Emperor Tianqi had left him more than 600 million taels of silver!
Thinking about it, these are the wealth that Wei Zhongxian accumulated for this imperial brother, and his own imperial brother does not have various hobbies of spending money like the previous ancestors, and he will sell it after doing carpentry. It was used to supplement the internal money, so I saved so much money.

It can be said that my emperor brother is the rare emperor in the Zhu family in recent generations who can save money for his next emperor.

I don't know where the news was leaked, and Guo Yunhou accidentally knew the amount of money in the internal money. During this period of time, even if Zhu Youjian hid in the mourning hall, he could often learn from Wei Zhongxian that Guo Yunhou always gave him money from the inside. Money is used to supplement the national treasury.

Isn't this a joke!

Your treasury is out of money, and you actually want to take money from my small treasury?

no!Absolutely not!
Zhu Youjian directly let Wei Zhongxian pretend that he hadn't seen it, and all the papers written by Guo Yunhou were taken as materials and burned.

……

cough cough!Well, let's get down to business!
It must be enough to get Zhu Youjian's approval, and Shuangma quickly became humble.

Ma Hua went directly to Zhu Youjian's side and said, "It's all due to the unique vision of the owner, who asked us to prepare for the gold and silver trade early on, otherwise this year's profits will definitely drop!"

Ma Yun also quickly flattered, not to let Ma Hua focus on the front.

I just heard him say: "That's right, the master's long-sightedness is so admirable! The admiration in our hearts is like the continuous flow of the river, or the overflow of the Yellow River. The master is simply born You can’t say that you are a businessman, you are simply a business god!”

The two were flattering, and Zhu Youjian was extremely comfortable listening. When he was listening with enjoyment, he suddenly heard an angry shout!

"Bold! Your Majesty is the current emperor, the son of heaven, born noble, and you dare to say that your majesty is a born lowly businessman, a god of business! Are you insulting your majesty?! Don't want your head anymore!?"

Everyone looked around, and it turned out that the person who shouted was Wang Chengen who had been silent just now, but at this moment Wang Chengen had changed into an angry face, looking angrily at Ma Yun who said that Zhu Youjian was the God of Shang, The anger in the eyes almost wanted to rush out and burn the horse to ashes!
Brush it!
Ma Yun's entire face turned pale.

It was only then that he remembered what their businessman's status was in Daming, and he actually compared such an honorable Majesty to a businessman, even if he was the God of Merchant, he was undoubtedly mocking His Majesty from time to time!
I didn't expect that my quick talk would cause such a catastrophe!

My horse is lucky, it's in danger!

Ma Yun was so frightened that he plopped and knelt down on the ground, and the cold sweat oozed out of his whole body in an instant.

And Ma Hua on the side was also pale at the moment. Although he didn't say what he said just now, he was also afraid!If His Majesty vented his anger on him, wouldn't it be that he suffered the disaster of killing fish in the pond?
At this moment, he hated the horse to death in his heart. How could such a clever person lose his mind today and say such outrageous words?But it hurt him badly!

When the atmosphere was tense, Zhu Youjian finally recovered from Wang Chengen's angry shout. Looking at the trembling appearance of his two shopping mall generals, he sighed with emotion about his current status as a businessman, and at the same time couldn't help Thinking about it, it's no wonder that some businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River have to cultivate their own officials in the court to serve as protective umbrellas even if they risk being found out and beheaded.

The low status of merchants in the feudal era can be seen from this.

It's just that they absolutely shouldn't, absolutely shouldn't, play with the fate of a country in their hands, this is not something they should meddle in!

After feeling a lot, Zhu Youjian slowly helped his two generals up, and at the same time comforted: "Okay, okay, just pay attention in the future, I won't be so cruel because of an unintentional sentence Whatever happens to you, don't worry."

"After comforting them, Zhu Youjian turned his head to Wang Cheng'en and said: "You are also accompanied by the king's companion, and they did not mean it, so don't embarrass them like this. "

Zhu Youjian opened his mouth, and Wang Chengen also reluctantly agreed: "Yes, your Majesty's slaves will definitely pay attention in the future."

It's just that from the way he looked at Ma Yun still with angry eyes, it can be seen how bad Wang Chengen's impression of Vice President Ma is now.

Regarding this, Zhu Youjian couldn't say anything more. After all, Wang Chengen did this because he was loyal to himself, so how could he say more.

So, after comforting the two horses, Zhu Youjian began to make arrangements for the future work of the two...
