At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 281 Prince, do you want a wife?
Zhu Zhanqian whispered: "What's the difference?"

"Um……"

Zhu Qiyong thought for a while, and said: "It is said that kindness does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth, but my child sees that these merchants are not people who pursue fame and fortune."

"This is also what I want to say for my father."

There was a gratified smile on Zhu Zhan's face: "Now that I think about it carefully, how can there be any distinction between righteousness and injustice? It is their nature for merchants to pursue profits. They care about every detail when they do business because they buy things when the other party buys them. It's all about everything. Now they provide ginger tea and some food for free, because others are also helping them. Look at the policemen on the street, braving the heavy rain to dredge the ditches and patrol the embankment, for whom? ? Isn’t it just for merchants and common people? If it were you, what would you think?”

Zhu Qiyong felt that it made sense, but couldn't figure out the key point, so he asked, "What does the father mean, that the righteousness and injustice of the people are all about advocacy?"

"No, mere advocacy is useless."

The restaurant was very crowded, Zhu Zhanqian had to lower his voice, and said: "The imperial court has been talking about enlightenment all the time, but what's the use? What the people need is real feelings. When he thinks something should be done, he will naturally Will do it. If you only rely on enlightenment and advocacy, you will not take it seriously if you listen too much.”

Zhu Zhanqian was full of thoughts in his heart, and continued: "Just now in the palace, the emperor told us to go around, so there is a deep meaning in it."

"We are waiting for the feudal lord to take over the new feudal state. With the current configuration of soldiers and horses, weapons and equipment of the Ming Dynasty, it is not a problem to conquer the barbarian land. At that time, how to govern one side will become the top priority..."

Zhu Qiyong gained a lot of knowledge today, and was listening attentively when a lady suddenly came over behind him.

"Hey, young man, what is Nian Geng? Have you got married yet?"

Zhu Qiyong: ...

Zhu Zhanqian: ...

The woman continued to say kindly: "Looking at the clothes of the two of you, they are businessmen from other places, right? Let me tell you, if you want to come to the capital to do business, it must be inconvenient to stay in the inn back and forth. You must have a local household registration. OK."

Zhu Qiyong said disapprovingly: "What's the difficulty? If we buy a house here, it will be solved?"

"Hey, young man, it seems that you don't understand the policy of settling in the capital at all."

When Zhu Zhanqian heard this, he immediately became interested, and asked, "Sister-in-law, our father and son are from Xiangyang, and we really don't know the situation in the capital. Please enlighten me a little bit."

The woman looked Zhu Zhanqian up and down. She is a professional matchmaker, and she is best at watching people.

The person in front of him was wearing very low-key clothes, not the Confucian shirt and scarf of a scholar, nor the blinding silk and satin of a rich businessman, but judging by his conversation and behavior, he definitely has a background, perhaps because of his family He has an official background, so he just doesn't want to say anything.

People nowadays are smarter.

Because the current emperor really dares to use a knife, he can chop anyone who refuses to accept it, really chop it!
In this way, those elders in the officialdom have learned the principle of making a fortune in silence, and they are very low-key in their daily life.

"Let me tell you, if you want to settle in the capital, money alone is not enough. You must have the household registration of the capital to buy or build a house. Otherwise, you can only treat it as a temporary residence, and you have to go to Shuntian Mansion every once in a while. report."

Zhu Zhanqian and his father looked at each other. Is there such a rule?

"That is to say, merchants like us are not allowed to buy if they have money? Can they only stay temporarily?"

"Who says no? Let me tell you, there are many people who want to settle down now. The quickest way is to marry a woman with a local household registration, or marry a local husband."

"Is there no other way but to marry?"

"Yes, there is, but the threshold is too high!"

The woman couldn't stop talking when she was chatting about homework, and said, "I heard that there is something called the introduction of special talents. It's what you study, and it needs to be recognized by the Academy of Sciences."

"We are businessmen. I really don't understand this science. Is there no other way?"

"Businessmen also have a rule, that is, any emerging industry must also drive local employment. As a woman, I don't understand so many rules and regulations, so I know that the threshold is very high."

Zhu Zhanqian was thoughtful, these policies and regulations seemed extremely harsh, but when you think about it carefully, there is a different kind of deep meaning hidden behind them...

"I said, sir, is your young master married or not?"

Women don't care about policies or anything, they just want to keep a matchmaker.

Zhu Zhanqian came back to his senses and said, "It's really a coincidence that the dog has already married a wife, so... can I take a concubine?"

"no!"

The woman waved her hand and said, "Only for the official marriage of the Ming matchmaker, concubinage does not count."

Zhu Zhanqian wanted to ask more questions, but the woman was already looking for her next target.

The rain continued until dark, and everyone sat in the restaurant until dark, then greeted the shopkeeper and left one after another.

Zhu Zhanqian came to the shopkeeper, reached out for a piece of silver, and said, "Excuse me."

The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It's just a few bowls of ginger soup and tea, it doesn't cost much."

"Ginger soup and tea are not worth much on a daily basis, but in this weather, they can be sold at a high price."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately became unhappy, and said: "The guest officer is a foreigner. Let me tell you, although we small traders don't make much money, we never make black-hearted money! You can follow Walk around this street, if there is any shop cheating your money, report to the official immediately, once verified, his shop will have to close tomorrow!"

Zhu Zhanqian smiled lightly and said, "I understand, the officials in the capital are so strict, no wonder the merchants are so responsible."

"It's not all tough questions, either."

The shopkeeper shook his head slightly, and said: "Two years ago, this street was full of protection fee collectors, including those from Shuntian Mansion, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang... In short, all kinds of things you can call out, and you can't. Yamen, you have to get involved, these people don't do anything after collecting money, and the local hooligans have to exploit it again. At that time, it was really difficult to earn some money, but now you go out and have a look, except for Shuntian Mansion The police are patrolling, can you still see other people?"

Zhu Zhanqian nodded and said, "It's true that only the police from Shuntian Mansion were dredging the ditches despite the rain."

"You hide from the rain in the shop. These people dredge the drains during the wind and rain. When you sleep at night, they are patrolling, preventing theft and fire. , help you solve it immediately, and compare your heart with your heart, if you stand in my position, and people say that two pots of ginger soup will be charged to the account of Shuntian Mansion for the people who are sheltering from the rain, will you accept this money?"
