Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 459

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the players of the Iron Window Sect were brought to the Nanchan Temple next to the Canglang Pavilion.

When everyone came to the main hall, they saw that the firewood pile under the big iron pot in the courtyard was burning vigorously, and the Laba porridge in the pot was fragrant.

This moment is just like that moment, and everyone can't help but feel as if they have passed away; and it seems that the past year is just a dream.

"Your Highness is here..." The eunuch's singing brought them back to reality.

His Highness King Chu Jiahai, who was half a head taller than last year, was still dressed in a blue dragon robe and a sable fur warm hat.

"Sinners pay homage to Your Highness." Everyone prostrated themselves on the ground. "Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

"Get up." Zhu Zhen's attitude was much gentler than last year.After everyone took their seats cautiously, he smiled and said, "I thought I treated you to Laba porridge last year, and we happened to be together again this year, so why don't I invite you to have another meal."

"Thank you, Your Highness, I'm ashamed..." Everyone said with shame: "I didn't appreciate His Highness's kindness at the beginning, and I suffered a year in vain."

"Your Highness can give us another chance to sit here, it's truly a bodhisattva." Their attitude of humility to the dirt this time was in stark contrast to their rebelliousness last time.

"Hahaha, there is nothing better than knowing a mistake and correcting it." Zhu Zhen laughed loudly:

"Didn't the Buddha still say 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately'? Besides, you are not the most vicious people, and you have performed very hard this year. Of course, this king will give you another chance to eat porridge."

"Thank you, Your Highness..." The crowd burst into tears of gratitude, of course they would not be so foolish as to think that the opportunity His Highness mentioned was just porridge.

"The villain must cherish this opportunity, and won't let His Highness down again!" They scrambled to express their opinions, wishing to show their hearts to His Highness.

"Haha, okay, that's right." Zhu Zhen waved his hands happily and said, "This king wants to make you rich together, not to lead you into a ditch. Why are you fighting against me? It doesn't make sense Well."

At this time, the monks put the cooked Laba porridge into bowls and distributed them to everyone's tables.

"Come on, let's chat while drinking." Zhu Zhen picked up the porridge bowl with a smile, scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth.Not to mention, the Laba porridge cooked in this temple is the same as that in the palace.

In fact, it was mainly because Boss Zhu was too frugal and always ordered to cook porridge with all kinds of leftover old rice...

After everyone thanked them, they started to pick up the porridge bowls, and drank very cherishedly in small sips.

After eating a bowl of porridge, His Highness took the veil and wiped his mouth, and then continued: "Oh, yes, there is still good news that I haven't told you. Just yesterday, the second batch of city ships going to Nanyang was safe. When I returned to Liujiagang, all the silk I brought was sold out, and with the Nanyang treasures brought back, the profit must have exceeded ten times!"

"Your Highness is really the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, and Shen Wansan back then is not as good as His Highness!" Everyone hurriedly praised without saying a word:
"From now on, the maritime trade will be in the hands of His Highness, and the Department of Shipbuilding will be rich in wealth!"

It would be a lie to say that there is no jealousy, but now no one cares about jealousy, flattery is the most important thing.

"Hey, let you put it this way, it seems that this king wants to eat and monopolize." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said: "This king does have this ability, but he can't do this. The country is rich and the people are poor, it is not kingly. We have to let everyone Everyone makes money, hello everyone, that's really good."

"That's why Ben Wang said at the beginning that the Shipbuilding Department welcomes everyone to board the ship. We share profits and risks. We hope that everyone can make money. Then, everyone will work for the common people and pay more wages. Are they all living a good life? This is called a big river full of water and a small river full, which is the real kingly way."

In the past, the big households just ignored it and let it go.But what happened in Suzhou City this year gave them a deep understanding of His Highness' words.

Zhu Zhen said with a sigh: "But you don't appreciate it, and you still follow that Lu Zhonghe to sing against this king. This king has no choice but to do it alone."

"We are too ungrateful, we are not human..." Everyone shed tears of remorse.

"Now, the most difficult time has passed, and this king still wants to return to his original intention and not let Shiboshi eat alone." Hearing His Highness King Chu change the subject, he said:

"So, starting from next year, the Maritime Department will only be responsible for shipping, taxation, and most importantly, the safety of the route. As for the cargo on board, the recruited maritime merchants will be responsible. Again, everyone shares the risk, Profit sharing. Get rich together and grow bigger and stronger together!"

"Wow..." Everyone couldn't help exclaiming, His Highness's mind is indeed too broad.

At this time, they are willing to share the opportunity to make money, which is really not something ordinary people can do.

Of course they are willing to become maritime merchants, but when they think that they are still prisoners, they know that things must not be that simple.

"So, what are the conditions for becoming a maritime merchant?" Someone couldn't help asking.

"There are no conditions to become a maritime merchant. Anyone can still board the ship, as long as you can afford the space." His Highness said loudly: "However, in order to maintain the brand of my Daming products and to ensure everyone's profits, only Only certified goods can be boarded."

"Certification?" Everyone keenly grasped this unfamiliar word, and they knew that things were not that simple.

"It means that the exported goods have to go through the inspection of the authoritative organization. This is to avoid shoddy, fake and shoddy goods that will damage our Tianchao brand." His Highness King Chu looked at his tools, and Teacher Luo patiently explained road:

"For example, silk products. They must meet the specified size, weight, appearance, luster, texture...and pass multiple tests such as wear resistance and fading before they can be regarded as qualified export products. Of course, porcelain, tea and the like are also Each has its own testing standards."

"Then where is the authoritative body?" Someone asked the key point.

"Our silk in Suzhou must be inspected, certified and graded by the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau before it is allowed to be exported." Mr. Luo said conveniently.With a sigh in my heart, there is no one who knows how to play better than Cao thief...

Everyone also sighed secretly, Tuqiongdagger saw that it belonged.

Zhu He also showed a look of sudden realization, although he had guessed that His Highness would link food stamps to silk.Let them sell it and then buy it back.

But there is one thing he has never figured out—this year, all the big households in Suzhou have worked so hard to expand their production capacity that they have almost recruited weavers from Jiangnan. They work in two shifts around the clock, weaving the amount that could only be produced in the past few years.

Such a large amount, Suzhou can't digest it at all, and there is no need to digest it.Isn't the newly woven silk produced by my family fragrant next year?Why use the silk produced last year for export?

At that time, Zhu He thought of two ways for His Royal Highness, one is to make it cheaper and exchange it at a discount, but this will result in a loss.The second is to make it mandatory that only those who buy silk from the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau can be qualified for export.But it would be too ugly to eat like that.

But I still underestimated His Highness, I didn't expect him to solve this problem by lightly throwing out the word 'authentication'.

Much smarter than myself!

I admire you!
