Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 343 Backhand
For many clans, the emperor's Christmas this time can be described as a mixed blessing.

The restrictions and restrictions on the clan began to become stricter and stricter.It is no problem for the clan to continue to enjoy the privileges at this time, but it is a pity that the current clan does not have a series of super high treatment before, which makes many of them mutter in their hearts.

It's a pity that even muttering is useless, because Lao Zhu is too domineering.The current Zhu Yunying is also domineering, meeting such two patriarchs, the clan of Daming can live a good life.It's just that at this stage, don't think too much about it. This is probably the most realistic thing.

Zhu Yunying originally wanted to go back to his East Palace, so that he could 'dominate' in his own territory, but this is not something Zhu Yunying can decide.It's better to go to Qianqing Palace, Lao Zhu obviously has something to say, so he obediently followed.

Old Zhu, who seemed to be a little drunk, was in a good mood, and he led the bouncing little Zhu who was still full of joy.

If it was normal, little Zhu would go to bed directly.But tonight is lively, the child still doesn't plan to sleep, he is having a good time.This also made Zhu Yunying a little worried. This kid had so much fun during the day, and he didn't drink less juice and soup during the banquet. If he slept more solidly this night, he would have to draw a map.

This boy wets the bed, not once or twice, but Lao Zhu is still plausible.

For example, the child is still young, or the child does not urinate. If it is not possible, there are many reasons for the child to play with fire during the day and must wet the bed, but some of them do not seem to be particularly reliable, and they are Lao Zhu himself. Say it.

When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, there would naturally be eunuchs and palace maids waiting on the three human beings to wash.

Little Zhu hurriedly climbed onto the couch, and said happily, "Grandfather, Father, we want to sleep in the middle."

"Sleep in the middle!" Old Zhu said cheerfully, taking it for granted, "Grandfather Gao and your father are protecting you, so sleep well."

Little Zhu who got into the mattress had something to say again, "Grandfather Gao, then you have to tickle."

Old Zhu didn't care at all, it didn't matter if he didn't sleep well, as long as his precious grandson slept soundly.His little great-grandson also has this habit, he likes someone to rub his back so that he can sleep more comfortably.

Smiling and breathing, Lao Zhu felt that his big hands were hotter, so he smiled and tickled little Zhu.

Little Zhu was confused and muttered, "Grandfather Gao, your back is itchy."

Zhu Yunying was also happy, and said in a low voice, "Let's help to rub the itch, I guess it's the shoulder."

"Just like you." Lao Zhu laughed and said in a low voice, "You were so sensible when you were young, and you wanted us and your grandma to tickle you when you were young. Your father was also like this when we were still fighting outside , your father will torment your imperial grandmother."

Then this is really in the same line, Xiao Zhu asked curiously, "It must be the same as Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang guessed it was the same when he was a child. At that time, Grandpa and Grandmother should tickle you."

Lao Zhu immediately became proud, and said in a low voice, "Our parents have to work during the day, so they can't care about it. It's your second grandpa and your second aunt who tickle us. We are the youngest in the family, and they spoil us!"

Poor is poor, but Lao Zhu thinks he still has many good memories when he was young.If it weren't for the disaster at the beginning, perhaps the current Lao Zhu is a farmer farming in his hometown in Fengyang, the youngest son in the eyes of his parents, and the younger brother in the eyes of his brothers and sisters.

Seeing Xiao Zhu sleeping soundly, Lao Zhu said, "Strong stems and weak branches, our emperors and princes after the Ming Dynasty will be strong. The clan will feel wronged, and I guess it will be about the same as Xungui."

"You can't say that, if the nobles are in power, they will be more powerful than most of the clan." Zhu Yunying smiled and said to Lao Zhu, "The clan is more or less rich, if there are some promising children, boil It’s really easier to get started.”

This is probably also a reality, and what the clan should be prepared for must be taken precautions.However, it is not too much of a problem for the clan to get through a little bit, after all, Zhu Yunying has no plans to completely raise the clan as pigs.

Although Lao Zhu felt a little uncomfortable, he could only bear it.

Not only would he say that Lao Zhu favored the eldest son's lineage, but also because Lao Zhu really valued the great Ming's inheritance.

As long as Daming's country is stable, naturally many things will be easy to talk about.What's more, even though Daming's clan seems to have dropped a lot in terms of treatment, they are still rich in the world, so Lao Zhu actually doesn't need to worry about too many things.

Zhu Yunying picked up a pillow for Lao Zhu to lean on, and continued, "Grandson is going to change the Shibo Department now, and he also thinks about the benefits of our Ming court controlling some of the higher ups, as long as we control the overall situation."

Lao Zhu nodded with a smile and said, "We also know these truths. There are many good things in Nanyang. The more goods that come into our Daming, the more goods our Daming people will have. We control it, and the price is naturally up to us. After all, it’s also a salt and iron monopoly.”

Not only is the monopoly of salt and iron, Ming Dynasty tea is also a strategic material, and it is up to the imperial court to sell it to foreign countries.

"Yeah, many things are owned by our Ming Dynasty, and they don't necessarily have to rely on Nanyang's output." Zhu Yunying smiled and said to Lao Zhu, "It's just that there are a lot of things from Nanyang, we control them, and the price is naturally ours. It’s up to us. Some things we don’t care about, and ordinary people use them when they need them. But there are some things we can’t sell cheaply.”

Old Zhu laughed, and suddenly said, "The people below should say that you are fighting for profit with the people."

"Don't say anything to those individuals. Our imperial court controls the Shibo Department. Naturally, the imperial court has the final say on what to buy, what to export, and what price to set. This kind of benefit is the greatest." Zhu Yunying didn't care. Old Zhu said, "The imperial court should coordinate the overall situation and distribute some benefits, so we naturally don't care."

Competing with the people for profit is actually out of the question, Zhu Yunying just controls the upstream, as long as he sets the market rules and the court controls them.

Zhu Yunying grinned at Lao Zhu, and said, "As for those people who say they are fighting for the interests of the people, we don't care. We know the people who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. There are also children of the family, or some stewards and servants. Do business things."

Lao Zhu also sneered, and said, "That's the reason, those people want to save face. While saying that being a businessman is full of money, they are making money by running a shop. Such officials, scholars and gentry are not few."

Isn't that the reason? It's not just in Daming that there are such characteristics, and it's not much better in all dynasties.There are white gloves or agents in the family, and those people want both face and face.

Zhu Yunying continued, "Our thoughts are also very simple. We also know that many merchants and wealthy gentry go to sea privately nowadays. Our Daming navy will do it if they catch them. Those who deserve to be killed and those who deserve to be punished will be punished. Our Daming Water The division inspected the coastal defense, not to mention, and brought back some good things. This rule is up to us."

Lao Zhu suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked, "By the way, we remember that there are many prisons in the Dudu Mansion. The Master Master helped us bring back a lot of good things, and they were all given to the Department of Shipping and the Ministry of Households. Our Huangzhuang and internal funds have also collected a lot. Is there any benefit for this sailor to work hard?"

Zhu Yunying was decisive and said directly, "Grandson will not let people in the army do business. It is not a good thing for those people to make money. Either they have no intention of going into the army, or they have money in their hands and it is easy to grow on their own."

Old Zhu thought about it for the same reason. It is not a bad thing for the Weisuo to cultivate their own fields, but it would be out of line if they were doing business.

Xiao Zhu still has a lot of thoughts and ideas, and he does have some taboos about some things.Probably because of some things, Zhu Yunying was watching, afraid that the course of the big ship of Daming was not particularly correct.

"Grandson actually thought about it too. Our Ming court only controls the overall situation, and those merchants and noble gentry can also share some benefits." Zhu Yunying said to Lao Zhu in a thief-like way, "We have a source of goods, and those people will be used by us in the future." Control it. We asked the clan to follow our inventory, one is afraid that there will be prohibited items, and the other is that some people have short-sightedness, so it’s not good to sell good things cheap.”

This is definitely what Zhu Yunying said in his heart, the main thing is the price war or something, and now we have to pay attention to control it.

Maritime trade is indeed very profitable, but naturally it also has a lot of risks.Many people think about earning more, and the more they earn, the better.If you have goods in your hands, you don't necessarily have to stockpile them and live in rare goods, you can also have "dumping at low prices".

As for causing chaos in the market, it has nothing to do with them, as long as their own family earns enough.

Old Zhu looked at Xiao Zhu proudly, and said, "Our grandson, let's not talk about others, because our grandson alone can't keep up with others."

Zhu Yunying was also happy, but she still had to ask, "Grandpa Huang, are you saying that your grandson's eyes are high and his hands are low, and he only knows how to build a strategic position?"

Old Zhu smiled and said nothing, probably also had such a thought.However, it is not to say that Xiao Zhu has high vision and low power. Old Zhu thinks that his grandson prefers a big layout and formulates some big strategies.

Some "little things", Lao Zhu's precious grandson is actually so contemptuous.

It doesn't necessarily mean that you don't like it, it's very likely that you want to be lazy, and you want to save yourself some snacks at this time.

"Grandpa, my grandson actually thinks that it's still our bank." The proud Zhu Yunying said, "The huge benefits of maritime trade, a lot of goods, are controlled by our court. The clan and nobles give us Tied up, those gentry and merchants also have to deal with us. Our bank, they can’t do it if they don’t accept it.”

Old Zhu froze for a moment, pointed at Zhu Yunying and said, "We originally thought you were a bit late, but now it seems that we still underestimate you. You kid, you like to take one step and watch three steps!"

Zhu Yunying couldn't help laughing, this is definitely a compliment, and he would definitely not object to such a statement!
