Chapter 71 Master Xia is crazy (read more!)

One, Lao Zhu estimated that he was tricked by profiteers when he was begging for food. He firmly believed in the words "no business, no fraud", and felt that those who do business are not good people.

Second, the circulation of merchants is too strong. Lao Zhu believes that this is not conducive to state management. From the guide system, it can be seen that Lao Zhu stipulates that all personnel who live hundreds of miles away from their residences must be issued "road guides" by the local yamen. "If there is no "road guide" or if it is inconsistent with it, it will be punished according to the law.

Third, agriculture is the foundation of the country. This is Lao Zhu's deep understanding after participating in the peasant uprising.

Fourth, the sea ban, which is mainly caused by too many Japanese pirates in the island country.

Fifth, it may also be related to Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang. After all, one of the two was a salt seller before starting a business, and the other was a fish seller.

But in fact, in the original historical trajectory, since the death of Zhu Laosi, the shackles of Ming Dynasty on business began to be untied.

In the reign of Xuande, the system of business introduction and store calendar was gradually abandoned and no longer implemented. The status of merchants was further improved, and business began to grow slowly. The hierarchical system that Lao Zhu had painstakingly established at the beginning began to collapse. Businessmen spend money to open the way, and various means, such as donating money to buy officials, their children and grandchildren studying and becoming officials, and using money to hire people to perform labor on their behalf, have continuously improved their status.

Until the middle and late Ming Dynasty, a large number of merchant gangs emerged all over the country, such as Huizhou merchants, Shanxi merchants, Longyou merchant gangs, and Dongting merchant gangs.

But honestly, it's all messed up.

Because there was no formal management from the national policy level from the beginning to the end of the Ming Dynasty, this also directly led to the prosperity of commerce in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, but only the businessmen became rich, and the country did not become rich.

Think for a moment.

Zhu Xiongying picked up a pen and wrote a line of words on Xia Yuanji's notebook.

'The essence of the market is freedom. '

Zhu Xiongying's thinking is naturally advanced, and he believes that Xia Yuanji will also be able to understand the spirit of this sentence.

Just approved.

An old eunuch hurriedly led the people towards the Hall of Eternal Life.

"His Majesty ordered..."

Before the people arrived, the voice of the dragging old duck came.

Old Zhu's oral order?

This is a rarity.

I saw the old eunuch panting heavily after entering the palace.

Zhu Xiongying stood up calmly and walked to the center of the hall unhurriedly.

According to the rules, one still has to kneel to receive the oral order from Old Zhu.

"Your Majesty ordered that we will go to court in person the day after tomorrow, and all officials of the sixth rank and above in the capital, or those with noble titles, must not be absent."

After the old eunuch finished speaking, he quickly bent down to help Zhu Xiongying, and then bowed a few times with a flattering smile.

Go to court in person?

Zhu Xiongying was slightly surprised.

As for Lao Zhu's body, can he still go to court?What happened to get bloody?
"Will my father go to court?"

Zhu Xiongying asked lightly.

The old eunuch bowed quickly.

"If you go back to His Royal Highness, the old slave will come to Taisun's mansion as soon as he left the East Palace, and His Royal Highness will also go to court the day after tomorrow."

"Ah."

Zhu Xiongying nodded lightly, it seems that Lao Zhu really attached great importance to it, and even the half-breathed A Biao asked to go up.

"Xiaobao, leave the palace."

Zhu Xiongying yelled, then changed into his normal clothes, and went straight out of Taisun's mansion.

The task of adopting orphans has to be done quickly.

I don't know which lucky one will be settled in the starting point.

………………

Yingtian Mansion, Outer City, Taiping Lane.

The houses on both sides are dilapidated, and it looks like it has been uninhabited for a long time. This alley has another name, Beggar Alley.

The heavy rain continued, and it was as majestic as a note.

At the corner of the alley, a group of beggars were fighting for half a steamed bun in the dog's mouth in the rain. The poor black dog's teeth shattered in the fight.

In the end, the steamed buns were snatched by a little boy about ten years old, and other beggars, even adult beggars, actually gave in to this little boy.

At the alley entrance of Beggar Alley, Zhu Xiongying stands in fine clothes, and Xiaobao is holding an umbrella beside him.

His eyes fell on the little beggar.

He had seen that scene just now.

A ten-year-old boy can dominate a beggar's alley.

'Natural power. '

Zhu Xiongying could see the strangeness of this little beggar at a glance, even an adult beggar could not withstand a punch from this little beggar.

Slowly stepping into the alley, the beggars curled up in every corner saw Zhu Xiongying, some eyes were envious, some were longing, and some were full of viciousness.

In their view, this kind of brocade-clothed person must have silver on him.

When Zhu Xiongying stepped in front of a dilapidated rouge shop, the two beggars lying under the eaves of the shop looked at each other and rushed towards Zhu Xiongying.

Boom!

The Razer streaked across the sky.

Accompanied by Lei Yin, two silver thunderbolts fell, and landed on the two beggars impartially, turning into coke from head to toe in an instant.

For a moment, the other beggars were stunned.

Looking at Zhu Xiongying, his eyes were full of god-like fear.

With a calm expression, Zhu Xiongying calmly walked to the corner, in front of the little beggar who was devoting himself to eating steamed buns.

"What's your name."

The little beggar ignored Zhu Xiongying at all, just gnawed hard.

"Little beggar, can't you hear what my master is asking you?!"

Xiao Bao who was holding an umbrella at the side shouted sharply.

Zhu Xiongying was not angry, and slightly raised his hand to signal Xiaobao to shut up.

"Want to eat chicken?"

Hearing the word 'eating chicken', the little beggar looked up instantly, his eyes sparkling.

"miss you!"

Zhu Xiongying could see the desire to eat chicken in the little beggar's eyes.

"very good."

"What's your name?"

Zhu Xiongying asked again.

"My name is Shi Hao."

'Shi Hao. '

After reading it silently, I always feel that the name is a bit familiar.

But it's good to have a name, so save it.

"Come with me, and you will have chicken to eat every day."

"And when you grow up, you can eat other chickens."

The little beggar's eyes lit up again.

"Another chicken? Fat?"

Zhu Xiongying smiled slightly.

"It's both fat and thin, but it must be very moist."

He raised his hand and rubbed Shi Hao's head. He believed that when Shi Hao grew up, he would benefit a lot when he recalled what he said today.

"Let's go."

Standing up, Zhu Xiongying walked out in front, Shi Hao hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed in the rain.

Half an hour later, the starting point orphanage located in a remote corner of the inner city.

As soon as Zhu Xiongying got off the carriage, he heard a "boom".

This time it wasn't thunder, but it came from the orphanage. A mushroom cloud of medium size was rising from the courtyard, and even the torrential rain couldn't disperse it.

Even outside the courtyard, you can smell the pungent smell of gunpowder.

………………

Household Yamen.

Xia Yuanji was sitting in front of the classroom case, looking at the notebook that had just been sent back from the Taisun's mansion, mainly staring at the line Zhu Buzhuo on the notebook in a daze.

"The essence of the market is freedom."

"The essence of the market is freedom."

"The nature of the market..."

Looking at this passage, Xia Yuanji seemed to be possessed by a demon, repeating it repeatedly, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

The other officials of the household department originally wanted to ask Xia Yuanji to approve the note, but when they saw Xia Yuanji like this, they were all shocked.

The news that 'Master Xia is crazy' spread like wildfire.
