Chapter 202 Piggy Bank

"It's useless to just know, you have to take action. I just said that I just pointed out the problem without intending to deal with it. Don't be too nervous and don't be embarrassed. I'm not just saying this for you, they are the same. If you have something, don't change it. Then encourage me."

In fact, Zhang Ran's actions were bonus points. Hong Tao had said many times in private: Don't kneel down and kowtow if you have nothing to do, let alone ask for a punishment casually.There is no point in begging for mercy if someone is guilty. We will not ignore anyone who speaks nicely, and we will not add guilt to someone who is not good at speaking.

Respect comes from the heart and is expressed in actions. Talking around all day not only fails to show respect, but is also an insult. It is tantamount to calling yourself a fool in disguise, and you can't even distinguish between sincerity and hypocrisy.

Since you have remembered your own instructions and put them into action, you should be praised.The reward method is to bring Wang An and Wang Chengen in to warn them together, so that Zhang Ran will not feel too ashamed and can go down the stairs.Subordinates also need face. People who don’t need face at all are really afraid to use them. Colleagues are enemies!
Zhang Ran also left after half an hour, and after being scolded, he became more motivated. He had to rush to Yanqing Grassland overnight to select those who were good at riding and archery from the Wuxiang left guards stationed there and put them into the training camp, so as to gather enough supplies as soon as possible. 2000 quota.

But Hong Tao still couldn't sleep. There was a pile of papers in Wang Chengen's box, with several era-changing inventions written on them.These are all bargaining chips to be used in transactions with nobles. Wang An is responsible for the specific work, and he must understand it clearly and remember it carefully.

"Long live the emperor's property with the courtiers, and he has to hand over so many good things to the noble generals. From now on, it will cost money to build big ships, train watermen, and raise Tengxiang's four guards and Nanhaizi's orphans. Where should the slaves go? Raise?”

Wang An is different from Zhang Ran and Chen Ju. He has been with the emperor for so many years, and even though he has learned nothing, he knows the value of these things just by guessing, and then he becomes more and more worried.

The emperor's internal funds have always been managed by him. In addition to the traditional imperial land rent and gold and silver that have been halved, the emperor's own properties have monthly income, how much has been received, how much is left, and where to spend. No need to look at the account book, just remember it all in your head.

If the emperor spends money like water, he won't complain at all, because he can make money.What was originally an inconspicuous small item from a small workshop, after several years of operation, has turned into a hen that can lay golden eggs, and the golden eggs are laid faster and faster.

But now the emperor no longer spends money, but scatters money everywhere and throws away the hens that laid golden eggs.Even if you want to gain more allies as soon as possible, this is not the way to play. Money alone cannot buy real allies. When the hen throws away all its allies, it will become a bird and beast. Those who should be disobedient will still be disobedient, and they will never be fed.

"Are you feeling distressed? It's not my fault. You're a bit too petty. If you don't get rid of this problem, you won't be worthy of the position of chief internal officer. What is silver? It's a hard lump that cannot be eaten or worn. It is dug from the cracks in the stone. It comes out. It has no value on its own. It will not weigh anything except rusting in the warehouse.

Money has to be spent in exchange for things to be valuable. Do I need money?The entire Ming Dynasty belongs to me. As long as the people of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of officials or civilians, the richer the better. If they are all rich, it means I am rich.

Do you know why I go to Taisu Palace to fish every time?Do you know why no one in the Cuju team can catch more fish than me?It's not because I'm the emperor and God favors me, nor is it because they deliberately let me have fish bite the hook without mentioning it, but Wang Chengen throws 10 kilograms of barley grains into the water every other day, which is called a nest.

If you want to catch big fish, you have to use heavy bait. The bigger the fish, the more cunning it is and will easily refuse to eat unfamiliar food.I feed them every day. Once I get used to it, I lose my vigilance and only then will I gain something by baiting again.People are the same as fish, these items that can make money are barley grains, and they must be given in sufficient quantities to be effective.As for where the money comes from, you may have overlooked that every factory they run has my shares. The more prosperous the factory is, the more money I get.

Just relying on you and me, it will be difficult to sell these items all over the country in a short period of time, but they and the big family behind them can. This means that they help me make money, save a lot of trouble, and get a lot of help. , do you feel a loss? "

Hong Tao could understand why Wang An had such thoughts. He had stayed in the cold palace with himself and his biological mother for more than ten years, and had tasted the taste of poverty.Even if you enter the East Palace, you still have to bribe Chen Ju and Tian Yi if you want to get the princely salary you deserve. This kind of humiliation will accompany you throughout your life.

As the saying goes, what you want is what you want. Wang An was once poor and didn't want to be poor again, so he took money very seriously.But he is not greedy, nor does he want to enjoy himself. He just feels that having money in his hand is safe and he can sleep peacefully.This is a mental illness that affects ordinary people but must be changed to do big things.

"...But they have more shares than Long Live Lord, and they receive more dividends! If this continues, they will become more and more domineering, which will be detrimental to Long Live Lord!"

Wang An understood part of the explanation given by the emperor, and then became even more confused.The principle of fishing is easy to understand, but officials are not fish. They make significantly more profits than the emperor. Having money means having power. The truth is so simple. What is there to be happy about?
"Tsk, you're such a brain... I'll say it again, the Ming Dynasty belongs to me. As long as they hold the military power in their hands, no matter how they spend it or hide it, the money will never escape the Ming Dynasty. No matter who it belongs to, it will ultimately belong to me!
Hey hey hey, they are just walking pigeons one by one. They save it for me first. When they want to spend it, they find a crime and click it. The money will naturally go to the Zang Punishment Treasury.You don’t have to pursue debts all day long, and you don’t have to worry about keeping accounts. How nice! "

Wang An's performance may be called pattern. Looking at the same thing from different positions, you may draw different conclusions.All he can see in his eyes is the money he has received and put into the treasury, but he rarely thinks about where the money comes from and where it goes.

"...Long live Lord Shengming!"

As long as the key point is revealed, Wang An can figure it out quickly with his knowledge, and then his face turns pale.Well, it makes sense for the emperor to become a bandit. When others save money, he sharpens his knife. The official's house is the royal piggy bank. Whoever saves more will be unlucky first.

However, this matter cannot be blamed on the emperor's ruthlessness. It is definitely not a good thing for any official who has a large amount of money in his family to be noticed by the emperor. If every one of them is really investigated, he will be beheaded ten times alive during the Hongwu period.

But he didn't want to personally do the job of beheading people and ransacking their homes. It would be too detrimental to his morality.I was already very sinister, and if I ruined so many families, even if I were buried in a coffin with the emperor after my death, I might not be able to have a good pregnancy in my next life.
