I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 252 Zhu Di: Fourth uncle is ashamed of himself!

Seeing King Yan walking directly this way, Zheng He stepped back in embarrassment.

After all, he used to be Zhu Di's subordinate.

But now he has directly surrendered to His Royal Highness the Grandson.

Although no matter how you look at it, this is not considered a betrayal, but meeting again will inevitably be a little embarrassing.

However, King Yan did not pay attention to Zheng He.

Instead, he looked at Zhu Yunxi with a complicated expression. This was his first time in Shanghai, and this time he came here because of the development and prosperity of Shanghai.

The business atmosphere is strong.

In addition, because of the rapid development and the huge amount of materials needed, merchants from surrounding places such as Yingtian Mansion and Suzhou Mansion came to sell large quantities of materials.

So a lot of business deals are generated.

And as long as there are commercial transactions, there will naturally be commercial taxes.

Zhu Di took up the post of director of the taxation department, so he naturally attached great importance to Shanghai.

But I didn't expect that it would collide with Zhu Yunzhen's schedule.

"Fourth uncle, this is really a coincidence." Zhu Yunxuan walked up and said hello first.

Zhu Di didn't care too much.

He bowed respectfully.

Then he said: "Xiao'er, your newly built demon capital is really the first of its kind in the ages."

"Opened my eyes!"

He has never seen such a strange city in his life.

There are no city walls, only wide roads, and the whole city is even bigger.

There is no end in sight.

You know, in ancient times it was necessary to build city walls.

Even if it is the capital, the scope is not large.

But Modu is different. There is no boundary set for the city, and it can continue to expand.

There is plenty of space.

And Zhu Di didn't just see this.

He even saw that such a city didn't need walls at all.

Facing such a huge city, even if there are enemies who want to attack.

Because of the huge internal space.

There is also enough pulling space to attack and defend within the city without having to rely entirely on the city walls.

Once the city defense is breached, the enemy will take down the city like a broken bamboo.

But... Zhu Di suddenly thought of the terrifying combat power of the new army.

With the strength of the new army, it is true that there is no need for a city wall, right?
Zhu Di really didn't know how Zhu Yunxuan's brain grew, almost everything was different from everyone else.

He can easily think of things that others can't think of!

This is really disappointing...

"Fourth Uncle, from now on, the entire Ming Dynasty will be a city like Magic City."

"The city wall will only become weaker and weaker in the face of artillery."

"And it costs money and effort. It is far worse than this. Without building walls and expanding the city, it can promote the development of commerce."

"I must have seen something along the way, right?"

In the magic city, because the roads are wide and there are no city walls, there are huge shopping malls on both sides.

There are all the things that the devil needs for sale.

It greatly facilitated the lives of the common people, and even accelerated the development of Shanghai.

Generally speaking, a city without city walls is more open and more suitable for commercial development.

"Yes."

Zhu Di had to admit it.

Along the way, compared to other places, the commercial atmosphere in Shanghai is really stronger than ever!
On the side of the road, from time to time, people in the countryside can be seen pushing carts and selling vegetables grown by themselves.

There are also some hawkers hawking along the street.

And some big shopping malls made Zhu Di's eyes dazzled!
Most of them are clothes made by Bureau of Technical Research and Manufacturing, spun cloth.

A dazzling array of everything.

"It won't be long before this magical city... will become a more prosperous city than Yingtian Mansion!"

Zhu Di seems to have seen this day coming.

"It's natural."

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Di inspected the situation in the capital.

While explaining to Zhu Di: "At least half of Ming Dynasty's future development depends on overseas."

"The city is adjacent to the mouth of the sea and has a good port, so it will definitely be extremely prosperous in the future."

"But the more prosperous the city is, the heavier the burden on your shoulders, fourth uncle!"

The more prosperous the place, the more people there are and the more chaotic it is!

And the more chaotic the place, the harder it is to collect taxes!

Zhu Yunxi can actually foresee that when there are more and more migrant workers in Shanghai and gold is everywhere.

It is bound to breed some forces such as gangsters.

They are like underground rats, it is easy to kill one, but it is very difficult to kill a group.

It is impossible for these people to pay taxes for their black transactions!

"Don't worry, Xi'er."

"Since you handed over the tax department to me, no matter what, I will collect all the taxes that should be collected from you!"

"As long as you haven't paid your taxes, you're considered dead and you can't escape!"

Zhu Di said domineeringly.

"Speaking of which, we have encountered some strange things recently. These businessmen will do anything to evade taxes."

"Accounting and the like are all pediatrics."

"It's not uncommon to use false identities and run away."

"But these are just small fights. The really powerful big businessmen are trying to bribe the officials of the tax department and want to collude with each other."

"What's more, they came to me directly."

"These people are truly daring!"

Zhu Di said without hesitation.

He is not afraid that Zhu Yunzhen will doubt him. If Zhu Yunzhen really doubts him because of these words.

Zhu Di was happy instead.

Because he has enough reasons to convince himself to rebel!

Even though Zhu Di knew that he had no chance of winning, he was still a little bit unwilling.

However, Zhu Yunxi is not suspicious of people, and he is not suspicious of employers.

There is no doubt about Zhu Di's character.

He just sighed: "Fourth Uncle is right, these people are indeed daring, for the sake of profit, even if it is a matter of quartering a body, he would dare to do it!"

There is a saying in later generations.

When the profit reaches [-]%, they will be ready to move.

When the profit reaches 50.00%, they will take risks.

When the profit reaches [-]%, they dare to trample on all the laws of the world!
When the profit reaches [-]%, they dare to risk hanging!

This is the nature of a businessman, or a capitalist!
Everything is in the interests of the first!

That's why Zhu Yunxuan arranged for Zhu Di to be the head of the taxation department. In the entire Ming Dynasty, only Zhu Di had the ability to deal with this group of cunning, greedy and risk-taking businessmen!

But everything has pros and cons.

It is precisely because businessmen put interests first and pursue interests desperately.

Only in their hands will the society's idle resources continue to be turned into more resources.

Drive the development of society.

"But if our Ming Dynasty wants to truly develop, it cannot do without these businessmen."

Zhu Yunxi gave instructions: "Fourth Uncle, treat these businessmen."

"We must be strict, but also tolerant!"

"If you don't pay taxes, you will be fined severely! Make sure these businessmen pay every tax!"

“But also be tolerant.”

"As long as a businessman pays taxes, he is a good businessman."

"Give them the freedom to do business as much as possible."

These words are naturally the shaping of the business environment that is often mentioned by later generations.

But at this time.

But no one said that.

Zhu Di heard it for the first time.

After careful consideration, I admire Zhu Yunxi even more!

"Oh... I really don't know how your brain grows..."

"Fourth Uncle really feels ashamed..."
