golden scales

Zhu Cihong can freely occupy the power of the country, but he cannot take over internal money.In any case, the relationship between father and son cannot be broken.As long as the parents are alive, the family's economic power is in the hands of the parents.It is only a matter of "money" to shirk the responsibility of support in later generations, but in Ming Dynasty, it was a felony that could be sentenced to exile three thousand miles away and exile into the army.

In a scholar-official family with strict family education, not only can children not interfere with the family's financial income and expenditure, but their own income must also be handed over to their parents, which is regarded as a matter of course.After the May Fourth Movement, the tradition was broken, so that the new generation of China couldn't distinguish between patriarchal power and clan power, thinking that all income belonged to the clan, which is another scene.

Zhu Cihong doesn't believe that his ideas can be accepted by most Ming people, and he is unwilling to rule a cold society with no family ethics and only legal rules, so he doesn't want to violate the current social rules, he can only conform to them.And he didn't have any place to spend money. The queen mother took care of the life in the palace very well, so she didn't have any thoughts about domestic money.

Now the royal family investment is in its infancy, and it is basically a white wolf with empty hands. He said that he can take as many shares as he wants, or directly go to the account, or dry shares, and do not need to pay money from internal funds.And it is foreseeable that the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty will continue this mode of capital possession for decades or even a hundred years.

No wonder Ma said that when capital comes into this world, every pore is dripping with blood... No one can subvert the truth of "big fist, sufficient capital".

"I'm just in charge of this southern tour." Chongzhen thought that he was a bit menglang. How can there be a reason why the power of the family should be handed over to his son when Lao Tzu is alive?This is not state power, so let it go.

"This matter will be arranged by the minister himself, and the emperor does not need to worry about it." Zhu Cihong said.

Chongzhen shook his head and said: "The ancestors and ancestors have never traveled thousands of miles. The Wumiao Xuanfu was criticized by the courtiers. I am lucky to be in the south of the Yangtze River, and I don't want to spend the country's money." The only emperor who really left the Forbidden City was Shimiao Jiajing. But he was going back to repair the mausoleum, not for fun.

Zhu Cihong knew that his father's Wenqing disease had occurred again, and said: "I don't know how much money I have accumulated in my internal funds."

Chongzhen hesitated, and said: "I don't know either. I'll ask your mother before making a plan."

Zhu Cihong had no choice but to agree.

Queen Zhou was of course very happy to learn that she was going to visit Jiangnan.However, as the head of the Tian family, she also knows the foundation of the royal family's money.

Since the recovery of Shenjing, most of the Huangdians have been abolished, leaving only Baohedian.Huangzhuang was distributed to various schools by the eldest son as the school property, or begged by the daughter to donate to the nursing home. Most of the remaining fields are in Nanhaizi, which is a little bit reluctant for the daily food of the palace.

However, Baohe Store seems to be doing nothing, but it receives more and more dividends every year.

More than one hundred thousand taels from the 19th year of Chongzhen.It has been climbing to one million taels this year, and there are signs of continuing to rise.This is because at first there were only income from gunpowder, steel, etc., and the military industry. With the improvement of road conditions, the income from horse-drawn carriages increased day by day, and the market for flat glass, pencils and other commodities became larger and larger, so profits naturally increased.

Of course, the bulk still comes from the dividends of Nanyang Company.

The Dutch regard Taiwan as a commercial transit point, but Zhu Cihong knows that Taiwan's sugarcane plantation is the real economic killer.The original historical time and space.It took another three years for the Dutch to comprehend, but Zhu Cihong staged it ahead of time.The Han people who immigrated from Fujian cultivated a large number of sugar cane gardens.Make sugar.Moreover, the bagasse from the squeezed sugarcane juice can be used to make wine and paper, both of which are urgently needed by Daming.

Among them, Zhu Cihong also proposed the idea of ​​using charcoal to filter sugar water and decolorize it to produce high-quality white sugar, which undoubtedly made a great contribution to opening up the markets in Southeast Asia and Japan.Moreover, the Indian spices obtained from Southeast Asia have also found a new way for the reprocessing of sugar cane alcohol: making perfume.

Because the taste of sugarcane wine (rum) is really not acceptable to the Ming people, most sugarcane alcohol is currently distilled into medical alcohol.In terms of income, it is much lower than the profit of perfume.Whether it is the domestic market or the foreign market, it must be an obvious profit growth point.

"It's strange that there is 130 million taels of silver in the house now, and we can't spend all of it just to go out for a trip." Zhou Hou, after counting the expenses spent by Nan Xing, said with a little regret.

Before the national change, Li Mingrui advised the emperor to go south to Nanjing.But he gave up because he couldn't afford the money.At that time, Chongzhen no longer cared about face, and he couldn't afford the food for his entourage.

Zhu Cilang looked at the statistics form of the queen mother, and said: "The guard needs 20 taels, which can be saved."

"People eat horse chews, more than two thousand miles, how can I save?" Zhou Hou wondered: "Don't you bring guards?"

"It's enough to transfer two divisions to conduct long-distance training, and the local inspection department will accept the big review along the way." Zhu Cihong said: "This money has already been spent in military expenses, and it must not be spent again."

The military expenses include the living expenses and training expenses of the soldiers. From the perspective of the soldiers in the army, whether it is training in the barracks or conducting long-distance raids, it is the same. Naturally, it is not possible to ask the court for double salary and subsidies. .

Zhou Hou was a smart man, he pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Aren't you taking advantage of the country?"

"Empress Mother, although the family of heaven should distinguish between public and private, the Holy Son of Heaven is the soul of the country after all." Zhu Cihong said: "Father will inevitably go to Nanjing to worship the Xiaoling Mausoleum, so this is not considered private use."

Empress Zhou felt strange, as if she couldn't keep up with her son's train of thought.

What does worshiping Xiaoling not count as private use?

Ever since Gongyang Confucianism called out "the son of heaven and one prince", Zhu Cihong is probably the only one who regards the emperor as a profession.

Since it is a profession, it has the right to work.Needless to say, the power of the emperor is now, but besides running the country, the more important thing is to perform various ritual activities, set a moral example for the Ming Dynasty, communicate with the gods of heaven and earth, and be the spiritual support of the people.

Therefore, if Chongzhen went to Nanjing to pay homage to Xiaoling, it was not the Zhu family's own business, but also a textbook for the world's ethics, and it was the emperor's respect and advertisement for Confucianism.

From this point of view, tourism has become a business trip.

Zhu Cihong didn't realize that he was out of touch with his mother's thinking, and continued: "These middle officials are also redundant. When you go out, you don't need to bring so many things, many of them can be bought locally."

Not only the royal family travels, even if the rich family travels far away, it is a car after a car with large and small bags.From as small as hand stoves and urinals to as large as desks and chairs, bedding, bedding, tableware and ingredients, they all have to be brought.

Where is this outing?It's like moving!

The more things you bring, the more people you have to follow, and the more food and grass you have to carry, which then becomes a vicious circle.

This is also the bulk of the expenses calculated after the week. A trip to Suzhou will cost at least 60 million taels.

"This expense can be completely saved." Zhu Cihong already had an idea in his mind.

After saving a lot of "logistics costs", the entire cost of Nanxing is less than 20 taels.

"There's no need for the money from the Tao." Zhu Cihong said.

When the royal family goes on tour, clean water is required to sweep and sprinkle the ground with loess.It is acceptable in a city, but once you travel thousands of miles and pass through dozens of prefectures and counties, it will be very heavy in terms of manpower and material resources.

In particular, the emperor said again: No money from the state is needed.

"Is it convenient for the local government?" Zhou Hou asked worriedly: "I heard that your examination law is extremely strict."

"Convenience, if it's inconvenient for them, I will make it convenient for them." Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "I have formulated city plans for the states and counties as early as 17 years ago. According to the road standards, not only the roads in the city must be clean and tidy , even the official roads outside the city must be rectified.”

"As for the loess, it's enough to have a symbolic ceremony when entering the city." Zhu Cihong added.

This saves another sum.

Zhou Hou nodded.

"Maybe you can earn some money back."

Zhu Cihong tapped his chin lightly, estimating the whole process in his mind.

As a business turnaround king, Zhu Cihong's level is not only in system construction and precise management, but also has a keen sense of the market.The emperor's travel is a major event at the national level, and he must be strictly selected from the accompanying officials to the personal guards.Since it was made clear this time that we are going to play, there must be quite a few people who are willing to go.

……

Although Liu Ruoyu is old, his mind is very clear.This time he was recruited into the palace by the crown prince, just to ask about the qualifications of the accompanying personnel.

Not only in the Ming Dynasty, but in any era of imperial power, being able to follow the emperor is a kind of honor and political capital, which represents a person's network and circle of friends.

Since it is a kind of capital, it can be sold naturally.

Zhu Cihong asked Liu Ruoyu to first draw up candidates for the middle officials' attendants, who were responsible for taking care of the emperor, empress, empress Yi'an, concubine Yuan, king Ding and other heavenly families, and could not rely on outsiders.The second is the guards on the periphery. These people are to protect the emperor's safety. They must be capable and loyal, so Zhu Cihong even counts Min Ziruo in it.

Then there are the accompanying relatives, such as Gong Yonggu, the son-in-law, who is the emperor's sister-in-law. He has been loyally following the emperor, so he must accompany him.In order to relieve boredom along the way and be arty, the Ci officials of the Imperial Academy also accompanied them.

And then, why can't we sell some places to the wealthy and wealthy gentry?

Although Shuntian Mansion experienced looting by the Qing Dynasty, it has improved somewhat since the liberation, and the people should still have some capital.These businessmen may not be willing to pay for a walk with Shengjia in order to share some political aura.If we order another batch of porcelain from "Accompanying Nanxing" as souvenirs, perhaps even more people will be willing to spend this money.

"As for security, it's not worth it," Zhu Cilang said. "When the time comes, the holy car will be in the middle, and there will be soldiers separating each floor. These rich businessmen and gentry will probably be two or three miles away. The key is 'reason'." (to be continued...)
