Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 369: What a shame!
"My son understands."

Zhu Biao nodded and retreated slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang's tense face also relaxed, and what he was thinking about was what Zhu Biao said just now.

Although Zhu Biao's method is a bit naive, it is not without merit.

More importantly, Lao Zhu thought of Su Jing's current method of dealing with Ping'an Rice Shop.

Let one go and show one's weakness to the enemy.

Then use thunderous means to eliminate them in one fell swoop.

Su Jing's method, I have to say, fits Lao Zhu's character very well.

"Su Jing, Su Jing, maybe we have to do this with you again in the future!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

The emperor was only in his third year, and he clearly felt that some people were changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When conquering the world, everyone is brave and fearless and dares to be the first.

But after the world was conquered, people's hearts began to float, and they began to dominate by relying on their own merits.

This seems to be a problem that arises at the beginning of every dynasty.

He now only hopes that Zhu Biao's actions this time can make those people restrain themselves a little.

As the emperor, they are all his old friends. It is not good for him to come forward in person. Face is something that needs to be taken into consideration.

Zhu Biao is the prince. Although he is young, he already has the authority of the king. His attitude shows that he can leave some leeway.

If you change it now, you can still keep them when Zhu Biao takes the throne in the future. If you don't change it, it will be their doom when Zhu Biao takes the throne in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang's calculations were still very detailed.

When a new king comes to power, he always needs to win over some people to establish his authority. Lao Zhu believes that all civil and military officials understand this.

As for Zhu Biao's character and talent, everyone knows that if he does not restrain himself, it is certain that he will be dealt with in the future.

"Old fellows, we are really here for you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again, his inner emotions quite complicated.

After processing the memorial for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said to the eunuch: "Summon the King of Qin."

Yesterday, I let Zhu Ping go after half of his report, but I have to continue today.

Not long after, Zhu Xi appeared in Fengxian Hall.

Time went so fast that even Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised: "Second brother, why did you come so fast?"

There is still some distance between Prince Qin's Mansion and Fengxian Palace. Judging from the normal speed, there is a high probability that Zhu Xi will not be able to go that fast.

Zhu Xi replied: "To inform my father, I know that my father will meet me today, so I left early."

"Oh."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xi. This usually naughty son had a lot of ideas now!

"Second brother, it seems that you are really enlightened now, not bad!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said very happily.

Zhu Xi said: "My son was stupid in the past, but thanks to Mr. Su's teachings, he now understands his shortcomings."

Su Jing!

When Lao Zhu heard this, he looked a little unhappy again: "No, second brother, you and Su Jing have only studied for a few days, thanks to his teachings? We have found so many teachers for you, what you said about them It’s so chilling!”

It was said that the teacher was cold-hearted, but in fact it was Lao Zhu who was cold-hearted.

As a father, I am not as good as Su Jing who taught you for a few days, right?

Zhu Xi immediately bowed and replied: "Father, I don't have this intention. It's just that I was really naughty before and didn't understand the good intentions of my father and teacher."

"Humph!"

Lao Zhu snorted coldly: "That's pretty much it. Okay, let's talk about what you learned from Su Jing."

Zhu Xi nodded, and then said: "Father, before I say this, I have one more thing I want to tell my father, please give me permission."

Um?
Lao Zhu frowned, feeling that Zhu Ping had a lot to do.

"what's up?"

Old Zhu asked.

Zhu Ming replied: "My son and Mr. Su have already discussed that they will jointly open a branch of Jinling Hotel in the capital. I need my father's approval."

This is not the same concept as the last soap business.

There are two different things between doing a one-and-done business and doing long-term business.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang may not necessarily agree with the prince running a restaurant.

"Open a restaurant?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, obviously very surprised by Zhu Xi's sudden idea.

Zhu Xi added: "Yes, father, I am keen on business and want to learn more, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If I don't even know how to do business, how can I start from there?" How to do business? How to learn economics and make your own contribution to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xi, and his first reaction was anger at Zhu Xi's thoughts.

The previous soap business was just for fun. At that time, Zhu Ping still had a naughty temper, so Lao Zhu thought it was childish and just let it go.

But now Zhu Xi is obviously different from before. His mind is very clear and his thinking is very calm.

For Zhu Xiang like this, if he wants to open a restaurant and do business, he really needs to do business.

Isn't it a huge irony for the prince to engage in business compared to Lao Zhu's national policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business?

Therefore, the current Lao Zhu stared at Zhu Ping and said: "Second brother, this reason is not enough."

Zhu Xi was not afraid. Instead, he faced Lao Zhu directly, stared into Lao Zhu's eyes and said, "Father, I think this is enough. The way of the economy is a national matter. A prosperous economy will make the country strong. I am here for the Ming Dynasty." So powerful!"

"The Ming Dynasty is powerful? You really dare to say that! Second child."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xi and said calmly: "Do you know the economic situation of Ming Dynasty? Do you understand the national economy and people's livelihood? I am not interested in listening to empty talk."

Regarding Zhu Chong, Lao Zhu still has some stereotypes.

Zhu Xi replied: "Father, I really don't know, so I have to learn how to do it. Mr. Su taught me a lot. The more I learned, the more I felt that the Ming Dynasty needed an economist." I want to be No.1!"

At this moment, Zhu Xi seemed to be as domineering as Lao Zhu and was very decisive.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry when he saw this scene. He just said: "Economist of the Ming Dynasty? You are really ambitious, but it's a pity that this is still not enough to convince me."

Zhu Ming then said: "Then it will not be too late for the father to make a decision after hearing what his son will say next."

"What else do you want to say? Did Su Jing teach you again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Xi nodded: "Yes, it is exactly what Mr. Su taught my son. I believe that my father will understand him after listening to it."

After saying that, Zhu Xi began to repeat to Lao Zhu what Su Jing said about Qin's economic war to destroy the six countries.

After reviewing the content many times, Zhu Ping spoke it very smoothly, without any feeling of ambiguity.

The content was very long, but Lao Zhu listened very seriously.

As an emperor, a founding emperor, Lao Zhu naturally studied the history of various emperors.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, I listened to a lesson on the significance of Qin Shihuang's unification at Su Jing's home, and naturally I cared more about the Qin State.

Zhu Xi spoke in a leisurely manner, trying to repeat every detail of what Su Jing said.

In order not to affect its content, Zhu Xi added almost no subjective opinions of his own.

This said, it took half an hour.

"The Qin State achieved true independence through economic independence, and relying on its economic advantages, it quickly destroyed the other six countries and established the unified Qin Dynasty."

Zhu Xi finally reached the end and recited everything, and his throat was a little dry.But he just stood quietly, waiting for the shocked Zhu Yuanzhang to come to his senses.

Zhu Ping still clearly remembers how he felt when he just listened to it.

I don’t know how long it took, but Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Ping and said, “Second brother, I agree.”

Without too many words, this sentence "I agree" explains Lao Zhu's attitude.

Obviously, Lao Zhu has been convinced by Su Jing's theory of economic warfare.

Only at this moment did Lao Zhu truly understand how important the economy is to a country.

It is not just a simple matter of filling the national treasury and abundant military pay, but it can continuously influence itself and other countries in trade and strengthen its own advantages.

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhu Xi immediately bowed and thanked him.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "In three days, Su Jing should have taught you more than this, right? If there is anything else, let's talk about it today."

Qin's economic war to destroy the six kingdoms really shocked Lao Zhu.

Now he still wants to know more.

"Yes, Father!"

Zhu Xi didn't care about his dry mouth and directly relayed everything else Su Jing said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

From the relationship between paper money and gold and silver, to the reserve system and so on.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not specialized in economics, but he also attended Su Jing's class at the Prince's Mansion not long ago, so he can still understand it now.

"Father, that's all what Mr. Su taught me. All reports have been completed."

Zhu Xi pursed his lips and said, his throat was really dry now.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not notice Zhu Jing's situation, but was still immersed in Su Jing's lessons.

"Sure enough, banknotes really cannot be issued hastily. We did the right thing to stop this."

"Su Jing, Su Jing, why do you have so many powerful things in your mind!"

……

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself.

Lao Zhu still had some grudges about Su Jing's decision to suspend the issuance of treasure banknotes last time.

After all, I had been preparing for a long time, and it just stopped.

Now Lao Zhu is no longer unhappy at all. Instead, he thinks that he did the right thing.

"No, our brains are not that sharp. We still have to ask other people."

Lao Zhu thought for a while and decided that this was not his area of ​​expertise. He could easily be misled by just listening to Su Jing's words and needed consultation from others.

That's what it's like to be an emperor. Not only is the Sacred Heart arbitrary, but you also have to always be suspicious of the words of all your ministers.

No matter how you feel it’s right, it’s always right to ask other people’s opinions.

Zhu Xi continued to lick his lips. He really wanted to drink water, but he did not dare to disturb Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

"Chongpachi, what's the matter with you? Don't you need to eat this dinner?"

At this moment, Queen Ma's voice sounded, and she walked in carrying a food box.

"My son pays homage to his mother."

As soon as Queen Ma arrived, Zhu Xi immediately saluted her.

Queen Ma immediately said: "Pang'er, there's no need to be polite. You're probably tired and thirsty after not eating or drinking for so long. Drink some water first."

Lao Zhu never went to dinner, so Queen Ma naturally wanted to be concerned.

Knowing that she was still asking Zhu Xi, she waited for a while, but she didn't expect that the waiting was not over.

So she came right in with the food.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't notice Zhu Xi's dry mouth, but Queen Ma saw it at a glance.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Zhu Xi immediately took the water glass and finished the glass in a gulp, with some even dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"It seems like we talked a lot. Let's have another drink."

Queen Ma poured Zhu Cang another drink.

"Ah."

Zhu Xi took the cup without politeness and drank it down in one gulp.

When Queen Ma saw this, she turned around and scolded Lao Zhu: "Chongba, look at how thirsty Chen'er is. You didn't pay any attention to him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Sister, it's not that I didn't pay attention, but what that boy Su Jing taught the second child was so shocking to us."

Regarding Queen Ma, Lao Zhu had nothing to hide.

Empress Ma looked normal and said calmly: "What kind of person is Mr. Su? You are the one who always surprises me. I really don't know how you become the emperor."

This sharp complaint immediately left Lao Zhu speechless, and Zhu Xiang on the side was also a little confused.

My father, who was usually very dignified, was sometimes scolded.

Although he felt very happy, he didn't dare to show it at all.

"The second one is still here."

Lao Zhu winked at Queen Ma.

Empress Ma understood, took out the food from the food box, and said, "Fang'er, since you are here, let's eat together."

"Yes, mother."

Zhu Ming immediately agreed. Being able to have dinner with his parents was really not an easy task for him, the King of Qin.

The family of three started eating like this in the Fengxian Hall.

Zhu Fang told Queen Ma that he was going to open a restaurant in the capital in partnership with Su Jing.

"How did you and Mr. Su divide the profits?"

Queen Ma asked immediately.

Zhu Xi replied: "In the first year, Mr. Su took [-]% profit. After that, according to the stock split of [-]% or [-]%, Mr. Su only took [-]% profit."

"What? Su Jing only owns one share?"

Before Queen Ma could speak, Lao Zhu had already shouted out in surprise.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well about Su Jing's ability to make money. Even if this branch was run by Zhu Cang, it was definitely Su Jing's ability.

You get [-]% profit in the first year, and only [-]% profit every year thereafter.

It can be said that Su Jing gave away a lot of profits, which was not in line with the profit-seeking nature of businessmen.

Empress Ma also said: "Ming'er, why are you so ignorant? It's Mr. Su's job to open this branch. Even if Mr. Su doesn't pay a penny, there's no way he only holds [-]% of the shares."

Zhu Xi immediately said: "After reporting to my father and mother, I am not greedy, but Mr. Su insists on doing this. Mr. Su said that he only provides people and raw materials, and he will not care about how the business can be done."

"I think this is Mr. Su's training for me, and the splitting of shares is proof of this. If I don't even have the guts to hold shares, Mr. Su won't be willing to do it."

If it is said that he is greedy for this little profit, Zhu Ping is really not guilty.

Lao Zhu's support for these princes was already great, and if he was granted the title of vassal king, it would be even more.

No matter how much you earn in a restaurant, it's just pocket money here in Zhu Ming's house.

Attitude is what counts.
