Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 42 42 I have a way to make money

In order to make money, Zhu Yuanzhang started to engage in brothels and issued treasure notes.

But the fact is that it’s not that profitable.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted the businessmen's money and crazily belittled their status.

The merchants came once to give the emperor face, and there were also merchants who wanted to lick Zhu Yuanzhang and spent a lot of money.

But Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that is what you should do, and do you deserve to be treated differently by me?

In the early days, the staff of state-owned enterprises were too high-minded, and businessmen could not get the services they deserved even with their money, and the service attitude was even worse.

So Zhu Yuanzhang's brothel business was just like that.

Then there was a large group of nobles poaching crazily.

Then who would want to work in a state-owned brothel?

Zhu Yuanzhang's rate of making money could not keep up with military expenses, which caused adverse consequences.

It is obvious that the business has plummeted from the initial boom.

"Wang Dianli, you speak with great passion, but today's court has no money!"

Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands and said helplessly: "If a war starts, hundreds of thousands of people will need to eat and drink. That requires too much money."

Wang Buli picked up the tea and took a sip: "Mr. Guo, I think your majesty is quite good at making money."

"what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overwhelmed by Wang Buli's words.

Will we make money?

If he could make money, he would have already conquered Yunnan and went to the desert to kill the barbarians.

It can be said that Wang Buli is like a scumbag.

Sometimes he praises Lao Zhu, and sometimes he belittles Lao Zhu. The push-pull effect is extremely obvious.

The key point is that Zhu Yuanzhang clearly knows that Wang Buli does not know his true identity.

Therefore, this dark and refreshing feeling will amplify Zhu Yuanzhang infinitely.

It can also be regarded as a channel for him to understand the grassroots officials of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have cared what the county officials thought.

He is the emperor, and what he says will be carried out for us.

Otherwise, if you tap lightly, you will be waiting on the board, and the key point will be to lose your head.

If you can't do it, just replace it decisively.

Does the Ming Dynasty lack people who want to be officials?

Now Zhu Yuanzhang has a little understanding of grassroots work, but based on his childhood experience, even if he established the Ming Dynasty, he still didn't have a good look at the subordinate officials who worked for him.

The inherent impression is that he believes that anyone in this position will harm the people.

"Your Majesty opened a brothel to imitate Guan Zhong, and issued treasure banknotes to imitate Shu Baiqian. There are traces to follow."

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite proud of imitating Shu Baiqian. If he had no money, he would just print it.

But when it came to opening a brothel, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had done something a little wrong, causing the minister of civil and military affairs to squander his salary every day, and instead of working for him, he only thought about going to the brothel to live up to his bad habits.

The Ming Dynasty was just nine years old, and the atmosphere was so bad.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to imagine how bad the playfulness of Ming courtiers would be after he died.

"But most of the brothels opened by His Majesty have been closed." Zhu Yuanzhang was quite helpless about this matter.

Wang Buli pretended not to know: "In recent days, I went to the brothels on both sides of the Qinhuai River to investigate. There were too many people playing and singing every day, and almost every venue was full. Your Majesty has designated you to earn a lot of money, so how can you collect enough military expenses? Woolen cloth?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched.

Of course he knew what these nobles had done.

A large number of second-generation children are not enterprising and like to have fun.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not stop it.

But having such words said by a petty official in front of him really made him extremely unhappy. Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to be like Song Gaozu Zhao Kuangyin, who gave him a cup of wine to release his military power and rewarded him with so much money.

Because he doesn’t even have much money.

Even the palaces in Nanjing were not completely repaired by Zhu Yuanzhang.

From time to time, Queen Ma would lead her concubines and others in the palace to work on weaving and reduce expenses.

The window paper was torn open by Wang Buli in front of him, making Zhu Yuanzhang, who turned a blind eye, furious.

"It should have been my money, but you guys took it all away. I'm so angry."

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not say what was in his heart. He just sighed:

"The brothels run by His Majesty are not as good as the others, so there are only a few that have been closed down. The leg that brings in money is broken."

"Bad management, broken leg?"

Wang Buli laughed immediately, it was indeed true.

What unsighted official would go to the emperor's place to have fun, especially when the emperor prohibited officials from doing things.

That’s not the birthday girl hanging himself all the time because he despises his longevity.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that his orders were inconsistent, but for the long-term plan of Ming Dynasty, he had to do this.

"Mr. Guo, if I have a way to increase the income of the brothel and help His Majesty reattach his broken leg, would you like to hear it?"

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes slightly.

"It's not for nothing." Wang Buli took a sip of tea.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and smiled:

"It's not for nothing, Wang Dianli, what do you want?"

Wang Buli stretched out his hand and knocked on the table: "Mr. Guo, I know there is someone behind you, so I also want to plan some subsidies for me and other subordinate officials in Jiangning County.

These men are good at paperwork and have experience in work, but they have no income.

Wouldn't it be a pity if His Majesty could not resist the temptation in the future and was skinned by His Majesty because of a few taels of silver!

Or giving them a small profit is better than blackmailing people and eventually embarking on the road of crime.

That's why I want to promote Chief Guo, and then the Ministry of Punishment will provide us with some normal subsidies. We don't have to break the law and commit crimes, and we can work for His Majesty with peace of mind.

Compared with this small subsidy and the income from the brothel, it is just a drop in the bucket! "

"A hair among nine oxen."

Zhu Yuanzhang repeated.

In fact, he was dissatisfied with Wang Buli's method of making money, and he couldn't bear to keep running the brothel.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's consciousness, everyone in the world must obey his wishes unconditionally.

You have to do whatever I tell you to do!

Previously, he decided not to give salaries to non-staff personnel, just to give away female votes. It is an honor for you to work for me.

What Wang Buli said now really made him unhappy.

They work for me and they want fucking money!

One by one, they all suffered from Ni Yuan's cancer. They thought about making money every day, enjoying a wealthy life, leaving a profitable iron rice bowl for their children and grandchildren, and bullying the local people.

If this continues, won't my Ming Dynasty be full of rebels like Ni Yuan?

"Wang Dianli, you are quite confident." Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"Why should we believe in your ability? Do you have the talent for business?"

Wang Buli knew that Chief Guo was a fellow villager of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was not an ordinary person in appointing rural party members.

Most of the twenty-four generals in Huaixi are composed of township parties.

"Anyway, His Majesty's leg was broken. Chief Guo reattached His Majesty's leg and used a sum of money to give us subsidies. It is reasonable and not illegal."
