Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

"Your Majesty, can the rules you set be relaxed a little bit?"

Zhou Kui looked worried, and bowed to the emperor's son-in-law and said, "You have to accommodate the young and strong family members, and you have to ensure three meals for the young and strong. Even if the old officials have some family background, they can't afford this."

"Patriarch, are you here to negotiate terms with me?"

Emperor Chongzhen put down his imperial pen, looked up at Zhou Kui, and said with a calm expression: "The Lin family firm you control and the land you won in Fucaifang are undoubtedly the best.

If we plan to build according to my plan, sell half of it to the outside world and keep the other half for rent, the money invested by the head of the country will not only return the capital, but also earn a lot of money. "

Hearing the emperor's son-in-law say this, the worry on Zhou Kui's face seemed to subside a little, but the small calculations in his heart were still crackling.

Even if it is not so good to those untouchables, then all the corresponding buildings can be built, so wouldn't it save a lot of money?
However, Zhou Kui did not dare to say these words.

In the previous chaos in Gyeonggi, the emperor's son-in-law uncovered a group of national thieves who betrayed Ming Dynasty, and most of them were relatives.

That's killing if you say kill!
Right now, among the government and the opposition, no one dares to mention this matter, for fear of getting involved with himself.

For the Ming Dynasty, which is currently on fire everywhere, Emperor Chongzhen's iron and blood performance can be regarded as shocking a large number of people, especially the civil servants in the court.

"Furthermore, isn't it possible that the number of Huitong tickets in the hands of Guozhang will not be added in the future?"

Emperor Chongzhen stood up and walked slowly towards the hanging map. Seeing this, Zhou Kui pulled up his robe and followed him. Silver, I am afraid there are not a few, right?
What if it opens all over Beizhili in the future?
Even the prefectures and counties along the canal opened corresponding semicolons in batches?

Don't I know how many reliable people there are in the Zhou family?
Guozhang, don't narrow your vision to these scattered silver.

Are these people in the Lin family firm grateful to you now?In this calamity year, your handful of grain can be their whole family.

After the deployment of Huitong ticket number is gradually implemented, with so many semicolons, how do you find reliable people?Is it cultivated from scratch, the most reliable! ? "

Zhou Kui: "..."

Zhou Kui, the person involved, has the most say in how much money the Huitong ticket number makes.

In terms of the few branch offices opened before, and the head office in Beijing, especially when the situation in Gyeonggi was in turmoil, the storage business increased a lot.

'Yeah, why did the old man forget this item. '

Zhou Kui's eyes lit up, he looked at the map in front of him, and said in his heart: "As far as the Zhou family is concerned, even if they want to open the Huitong ticket number, there will only be a few more.

But if, according to what the emperor said, some smart people were selected from among these disaster victims, even their nephews, and trained well, then there would be no shortage of reliable manpower for the ticket office in the future.

The selected people signed contracts of sale for him, became members of the Zhou family, and raised their families in the farm, and the number of Huitong tickets became bigger and bigger. '

Seeing his stingy father-in-law standing silently, his eyes shining, Emperor Chongzhen knew what Zhou Kui was thinking at this moment.

Compared with other people, Emperor Chongzhen knew best about Zhou Kui's virtues. To be honest, he did have some talent in business.

It seems that stingy people have calculations in this regard.

Before the main problems of the Ming Dynasty were improved accordingly, such as rectifying the currency system, clarifying the silver standard, gold standard, and preparing for the establishment of the Royal Bank, Emperor Chongzhen could not do it.

Many categories related to taxation, especially commercial tax, mining tax and other tax items, have not been revised one by one.

To curb land mergers and reduce the pressure of the lower class people to pay for food and errands as one, share their income with the mu, and return the fire consumption to the public, and dare not even mention it.

But these things cannot be pushed away in the current situation, but these things have to be done in the front.

Whether the Huitong ticket number can be opened to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, especially to the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, is related to the many plans of Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhou Kui, the patriarch of the dynasty, is very stingy, calculating, and afraid of death. He is undoubtedly the best white glove of Emperor Chongzhen. If he uses it well, it can help him relieve a lot of worries.

"Your Majesty, the old minister was confused before!" Zhou Kui frowned slightly, and bowed to the emperor's son-in-law: "I shouldn't just worry about the things in front of me, I am willing to recruit another group of young men to share the worries of the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty..."

Listening to what Zhou Kui said, Emperor Chongzhen smiled. He knew that Zhou Kui was a man who was tricked, and his enthusiasm for money made him willing to give.

Of course, the premise of this is that the corresponding returns can be obtained.

"My lord!! I gave birth!! I gave birth..."

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was about to beat one or two, there was an excited voice outside Dongnuan Pavilion, which made Emperor Chongzhen frowned.

Who would have the guts to make such a noise in Da Nei?

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

The eunuch Zhang Guoyuan, who was in charge of the internal official supervisor, ran into the East Nuan Pavilion, knelt down and bowed, and said excitedly: "The queen is born, and the dragon son is born."

Emperor Chongzhen: "..."

What Zhang Guoyuan said made Emperor Chongzhen a little dazed. The pregnant Empress Zhou gave birth?

This was really beyond his expectation.

Different from the original trajectory, Queen Zhou, who was supposed to be in December of the second year of Chongzhen, had her fetus moved due to the invasion of Jianlu and gave birth prematurely.

This life was not affected by this.

The full-term birth, and the corresponding disinfection measures, the Emperor Chongzhen had stated earlier, so in this life, Zhu Cixuan, who died young, will not die early?
For Emperor Chongzhen, the more heirs he had, in a sense, it would also strengthen the imperial power, especially for the monarchs of feudal dynasties, having no heirs and few children were not good.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty!"

Zhou Kui looked excited, and bowed to the emperor's son-in-law: "Da Ming gave birth to another dragon son, it is indeed the blessing of the ancestors and ancestors. Under the imperial power of His Majesty, Daming will definitely be able to wipe out the rebellion and change the signs of decline. rise up in his hands."

For Zhou Kui, his daughter gave birth to another dragon son, which was definitely a happy event, which meant that their Zhou family's position in Daming had become more stable.

Maybe when the emperor is happy, he should be rewarded with the title.

"Go, drive Kunning Palace!"

But to Zhou Kui's disappointment, Emperor Chongzhen didn't pick him up at all. He flicked his sleeves and walked quickly outside Dongnuan Pavilion.

To confer a knighthood, one has to do things well, give birth to a prince, and be happy, but Emperor Chongzhen would definitely not do such a conferment of knighthood.
