Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 185 Chapter 185: Winning over Xungui, Lan Yu and others to invest in the rubber factory!

Naturally, Lan Yu and the others could not get involved in the topics discussed by Zhu Yue, Shen Dan and the others.

It would be no problem to let Lan Yu and the nobles follow Zhu Li's ass to do some business and make some money!

But when it comes to how to govern a fiefdom and how to develop the economy of a place, you are a complete layman!

So watching the King of Han chatting animatedly with these civil servants, Lan Yu and others felt as if they were listening to a book from heaven!

This is why after Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world, he needed civilian officials to govern the country!

And Lan Yu still had to be patient and pretend that I was listening too, which was very uncomfortable!

If it had been someone else, Lan Yu and the others would have turned around and left immediately, but King Han's face was not something they could just throw away!

No matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to endure it!

"My lords, I have pretty much said everything I need to say today!"

"I have also taken note of what you just said!"

"In the future, in the court, I will still need to rely on the help of all the adults!"

Zhu Li naturally knew that Lan Yu and others must be uncomfortable, so he immediately ended these topics. Anyway, the effect has been achieved. The officials present today will naturally have their own considerations in their hearts. It depends on what they will do in the future. How to choose!

Of course, even if you don't help me, I won't blame you, just pretend that this person doesn't exist!

But if you don't help me, try to obstruct me, or even stand on the opposite side of me, then don't blame me for being rude!

When a group of civil servants heard this, they naturally nodded in agreement. At least on the surface, they all looked like they were following the lead of the King of Han!

After taking care of these civil servants, Zhu Yue kept all the nobles including Lan Yu.

"Dong Guo Liang, you have finally arrived at Hanzhong Mansion. Why don't you treat me as a host today and treat you to a meal in the Hanzhong Business Building?"

"Please give me some face!"

Zhu Li's words were quite polite, but they made Lan Yu and others feel flattered!

Although most of them have almost never had direct contact with the King of Han, they probably know his temperament!

It is really difficult for ordinary people to fall under the discernment of King Zhu Li of Han Dynasty!

"Your Highness, you're welcome. We have been friends with the King of Han for a long time. Thanks to His Highness's secret care, each of our families has gained a lot of benefits in the northwest!"

"Why do you have the nerve to ask His Highness the King of Han to spend money to treat us to dinner? How about we treat him to dinner?"

Lan Yu also has a straightforward personality, and with Zhu Yue's identity here, he doesn't dare to make excuses, otherwise it would be a slap in the face!

"It doesn't matter who invites you. The point is that I have a good deal here, and I want to discuss it carefully with you all. Let's put it all together!"

"Let's just talk while eating!"

Zhu Li waved his hand nonchalantly, but said it with a change of subject.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu and others' eyes immediately lit up!

Good business!

They really wanted to hug the thick legs of King Zhu Li of Han Dynasty!

So a large group of people came directly to Hanzhong Business Building.

Zhu Yue directly arranged a large box here, and after ordering people to serve wine and food, he started to exchange glasses with Lan Yu and others!

Zhu Li didn't mention any business at first, and Lan Yu and others were not in a hurry to ask questions.

But as we are both martial artists, we still have a lot of common topics at the wine table!

When talking to Zhu Yue, he didn't have the same scruples as other vassal kings. It was equivalent to speaking freely, not to mention the need to chew words. It was so comfortable!

Over a drink, the relationship between these Huaixi nobles and Zhu Yue became much closer!

The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.

After almost eating and drinking, Zhu Li put down the wine glass in his hand.

Lan Yu and others also focused their attention on Zhu Yue. They knew the topic was coming!

"You should also know that I recently built a rubber factory and planted a large number of rubber trees in the south!"

"But the current scale of the rubber factory is still a bit too small!"

"So I am planning to build two large rubber raw material factories in Hanzhong and Xi'an at the same time!"

"I wonder if you are interested?"

Seeing the reactions of Lan Yu and others, Zhu Li asked with a smile.

"What is the interest that His Highness refers to?"

"To be honest, if we just follow His Highness to do a small business and make a little money, it will be no problem, and we won't have any psychological burden!"

"But if you really want to get involved in the rubber raw material factory, I'm afraid His Majesty won't be able to pass the test!"

Lan Yu also put down the quilt at this time and reminded him seriously.

The rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang prohibited Ming officials from engaging in business!

However, the main target is civil servants, military generals and nobles. In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang usually turns a blind eye!

This has also led to the fact that most of them, whether they are civil servants or military generals, have some kind of private industry!

For example, among the cronies and relatives of these princes and marquises, there are many businesses. In fact, they are just supporting them behind the scenes!

The main reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was so lenient with his generals was because when they were not fighting, these generals basically had nothing to do.

It's easy to get into trouble when they're idle, so let them secretly start some small industry or something. Firstly, it can make them some money, and secondly, it can also give them something to do!

Of course, what's more important is that these are all ready-made excuses. It's okay if Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't pursue them. If one day he doesn't like the nobles, it will be a crime!

But no matter what, at least on the surface, no one dares to tell outsiders in a big way that I am doing business!

This is a restriction, and it is destined that Lan Yu and others can only make small fuss!

Once the business really gets big, the old man will definitely be keeping an eye on it. At that time, even if you have countless money, you may have the chance to take it but not spend it!

No matter how arrogant Lan Yu is, she still doesn't dare to touch this bottom line issue!

"Duke Liang is worrying too much!"

"Who is that standing behind me?"

"Without his old man's approval, I would not dare to treat you to this meal today!"

Zhu Yue naturally understood what Lan Yu meant and immediately laughed disapprovingly.

In fact, it is taboo for a vassal king to make friends with nobles in private. Even if you are favored, you will not do this!

Unless the emperor allows you to do so, or even the emperor asks you to do so!

This is why the old man asked Zhu Yue to take charge of the inspection of Hanzhong Mansion today. Only Lan Yu and the others had the courage to have such a meal with Zhu Yue!

If we change the place and the time, the situation will be different!

For example, if they are still in Yingtian Mansion, even if the King of Han returns to Yingtian Mansion, they will definitely have to avoid it. Who dares to have a relationship in private?

That's going to be on Jin Yiwei's house raiding list!

When Zhu Yue said this, Lan Yu and others were naturally surprised, because they had never thought about this situation, or they did not dare to think about it at all!

"You also know that various reforms have been going on here in the northwest!"

"Many of the rules that the old man set before have been abandoned in the northwest!"

"Developing business in the future will definitely be Ming Dynasty's top priority!"

"You don't participate in private business, but you can still do business in the imperial court!"

Zhu Li looked at the surprised eyes of Lan Yu and others and explained with a smile. "Court business?"

A group of people looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what Zhu Yue meant for a while.

It’s easy to understand the business of the imperial court. For example, the business of salt, iron, and various mines are all official business, that is, the business of the imperial court!

But in a business like this, it is even more impossible for them to interfere!

That is all managed by dedicated people from the Ministry of Household Affairs!

"In that rubber raw material factory in Xi'an Prefecture, I will implement a shareholding and dividend system when the time comes!"

"As long as everyone here is willing to pay, you can get the corresponding dividend rights!"

"You also know that building such a big factory will definitely require a lot of money. The old man is naturally eager for you to contribute money to participate!"

"But let's agree first that we can only give you dividends in proportion to the money you contributed, but in fact you won't get any shares!"

"You just need to wait and receive the money according to your own dividend ratio every year!"

Zhu Yue directly expressed his thoughts.

"Then who owns this factory?"

Lan Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's me and the imperial court. The majority belongs to the imperial court. The imperial court accounts for 80% and I account for 20%!"

"But the 80% of the return you get from the money you invest comes from the imperial court. It depends on how much money you can each invest in this business!"

Zhu Li explained slowly.

"Then how much money do we want to invest, and how much dividends can we get in return?"

Chang Sheng asked at this time.

"The imperial court will allow at most 20% of the income to be given to you, so no matter how many of you there are, you can only share 20% of the total income every year!"

"As for the specific amount of money, it depends on the efficiency and annual profit of the factory!"

"As for how much money each of you can get, it all depends on your proportion of the total investment!"

"For example, you have invested a total of one million taels of silver, of which the Liang Kingdom has voted for a hundred thousand taels. Then the Liang Kingdom can get 10% of the two annual profits every year!"

Zhu Li continued to explain.

"The total is only one million taels, isn't it a little less?"

"How much profit can this factory make in a year?"

Hearing this, Feng Sheng couldn't help but frown.

This was quite different from what he had thought before.

The total investment of one million taels, not to mention others, these princes can make it all by themselves!

"I am just making an analogy!"

"I didn't say it was just one million taels!"

"The imperial court's total external recruitment funds are ten million taels!"

"That's 10 million taels, accounting for 20% of the annual income dividend!"

"If you all can collect these ten million taels, you will naturally be happy. If you can't collect them all, I can add a little more, or find other people to buy shares. It's all fine!"

"At present, I will inform everyone here first. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on you!"

"In addition to the rubber raw material factory, the ceramic factory in Xi'an will also use this method in the future. You can just do what you can!"

Zhu Li continued to explain.

"Okay, ten million taels, if each of our families can chip in, it will definitely be no problem!"

"We will all keep your highness's favor in mind. When the ceramic factory can also invest in it, I hope your highness can say something. We will definitely participate too!"

Lan Yu and others immediately agreed.

For Lan Yu alone, it is no problem to invest one to two million taels. Ten million taels may sound like a lot, but there are so many nobles in Huaixi, and a family can easily fill it with hundreds of thousands of taels. !

Fortunately, there are more than one profitable businesses. As long as we follow Hanwang's footsteps in the future, are we still afraid that we will have no money to make?

"happy!"

"If that's the case, then this matter is settled!"

"After the capital relocation is over, the rubber raw material factory in Xi'an will also start preparations. Don't forget to hand over 10 million taels to me then!"

Zhu Li nodded with great satisfaction.

When discussing business with big bosses like Lan Yu, as long as you explain things clearly to them, the decision will often be the happiest!

After eating and drinking, Zhu Yue was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he took Lan Yu and the other nobles to the nearest big theater!

Tonight, Zhu Li has booked this big theater and ordered the latest script to be used!

Originally, the scripts written by Zhu Yue would be staged first in Hanzhong, followed by other major theaters in the northwest!

It will be at least two or three months before it spreads to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, or to places like Yingtian Mansion!

After all, actors also need time to rehearse a play!

Moreover, these opera troupes in Hanzhong Mansion are also of the highest quality and most famous, and the taste of their performances is much better than that of opera troupes in other places!

These opera troupes in Hanzhong must be the elite among the elites, and you can tell by comparing their professionalism!

This night, Lan Yu and others were also satisfied!

Not only did they negotiate a big deal with Zhu Li, the King of Han, but they also watched a new play that they had never seen before. The attitude of these nobles towards Zhu Li, the King of Han, changed again!

Before, at most, the Han King Zhu Li was regarded as a partner that could be cooperated with!

But now, it feels more and more like my own!

The main reason is that both sides have the same temperament, and the Hanwang Zhu Yue does not have the sourness and rottenness of the literati!

On the other side, Zhu Biao also followed Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di and visited almost all the places in Hanzhong. At the same time, he also climbed up to the business building in Hanzhong and took a look at the night view of Hanzhong!

"Fourth, dad has told you everything about us and Laojiu, right?"

Zhu Biao was on the top floor of the business building and suddenly asked Zhu Di.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the side did not speak when he heard this, but quietly listened to the conversation between the two brothers.

"Brother, do you really want to give up the position of crown prince to Lao Jiu?"

Even though he had known Zhu Biao's decision for a long time, Zhu Di was still a little reluctant!

(Dividing line!)

ps: 嘤嘤嘤! ! ! Brother, can you give me a recommendation ticket? Monthly tickets are also fine! I beg you on your knees!
