Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 176
Is this kind of thing right?Is this kind of thing good?Of course it's wrong, of course it's not good, but there's nothing to do about it, Zhu Houzhao sighed softly.Forget it, let's not think about these things for now, now that I have money, and there is still so much, I can develop my own business well for the time being, and the steel factory can start.

In addition to the steel factory, the rest is naturally to prepare for the Black Dragon Army. This time there will be 3 people. Zhu Houzhao is preparing to start selection in the Beijing camp.

The Daming Martial Academy should also be prepared. On the one hand, it is to provide a way out for the descendants of the meritorious soldiers, which can motivate the soldiers to kill the enemy and improve their morale. In addition, it is also prepared for the nobles in the capital.How could it be possible to spend the whole day walking around, fighting and fighting all day, eating, drinking and having fun all day?

Zhu Houzhao is going to pull them all in for training, but you can't train them if you are a small sample. If the nobles want to gain a foothold in the future, they can only rely on military merits, rather than resting on their merits.

"Let's make a plan first!" Zhu Houzhao smiled and began to write the plan, that is, the articles of association. While writing, Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked Liu Jin: "The profit of the glass factory has not yet Send it to Neku?"

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "Back to Your Highness, the servants didn't dare to send it over. Originally, they wanted to send it over when His Highness came back. The money is ready, should I send it over?"

After hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao didn't give it away immediately, and quickly waved his hand: "No more!"

Zhu Houzhao felt that if his father knew that the mirror made such money, he might regret it. How could his son enjoy such a huge profit?You can't spend so much money on military training!Wouldn't he be blinded by then?It's good that I didn't give it away, this incident made my father happy, after all, a father who doesn't cheat his son is not a good father!
Let the old man be happy because he cheated himself, and let the old man make a fortune in silence!

After confirming this matter, Zhu Houzhao once again immersed himself in the book case, and began to work hard to write his own plan. After an unknown period of time, Zhu Houzhao felt someone calling him, looked up and found that it was Liu Jin, a little unclear So he asked, "What's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness, the Marquis of Shouning is here!" Liu Jin bowed quickly.

Zhu Houzhao sighed, and gently put down the pen in his hand. He knew that his uncle would definitely come to the door, and he would come very soon. Unexpectedly, it did not exceed his expectations.Nodding his head, Zhu Houzhao said directly, "Okay, let him in!"

There is no escape from this meeting, sooner or later, so just let him come in and meet, if you don't finish dealing with him, you won't be able to stop yourself.

Soon Shou Ninghou came in from the outside, with a somewhat eager expression on his face, and came to Zhu Houzhao's side. After Zhang Heling saluted, he said with a bit of eagerness in his tone: "Your Highness, the salt merchant The waiters over there are a little anxious, and the list has been handed over to His Majesty, but there is no news so far, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback, no news yet?Dad didn't mention it today!Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Father didn't mention it to me today, and I forgot to ask. I will ask tomorrow."

"Okay!" Zhang Heling felt confident when he heard Zhu Houzhao's words, nodded and said, "The other thing is that our people have been targeted, and several companies with problems have been found out, and all of them have been found out." The list has been removed, and the money has already been refunded, and I will try my best to help if I can, and I will do everything according to His Highness's instructions."

Glancing at Zhang Heling with a smile, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Good job, you don't have to worry about the salt field, there will be news soon."

"There are also rules and regulations on the imperial court. The emperor will approve the list, and the rest will be bid. Let them prepare the money." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Go back and tell them to rest assured that as long as the cabinet If they haven't been taken away over there, Emperor Father won't take them away, so you don't have to worry about it, it's fine."

The subcontracting of the salt field will be auctioned. At that time, it will be more expensive than whoever is willing to pay the capital. Zhu Houzhao let some non-exunted salt merchants come in for this purpose.

Once there are all these honorable salt merchants, these people may lower the price, and there is competition to gain, and there is no competition.

Zhu Houzhao knows that it is not a good thing for any one party to dominate the big family. Behind those non-honored salt merchants are gentry, you can't strangle them to death, as long as they are willing to spend money, then this business must be done for them.This is also Zhu Houzhao's first step in choking the businessman's neck. It's useless if you have money, and if you don't take you to play, you won't take you to play.

If they don't take refuge in the gentry or nobles, they won't even be eligible to enter the arena, and they will be eliminated in the first round, and they won't take you to play.

Just like later generations, you have money and can afford many things, but you are not eligible to participate in the auction, so you can only stare and worry.At that time, people outside the circle will take money and want to squeeze in, while people inside the circle will occupy the space, and there will be excitement at that time.Zhu Houzhao believes that the access to salt in five years will definitely be a big hit.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell them!" Zhang Heling nodded with joy when he heard this.

Zhu Houzhao looked at his uncle with a happy face, his face remained calm, but he had a sneer in his heart. When it was time to shoot the salt field, some of you were crying,
"Is there anything else?" Zhu Hou looked at Zhang Heling and asked.

"There is also Shen Lu, the general manager. He has already formulated the regulations, but His Majesty has not approved them." Zhang Heling looked at Zhu Houzhao, and asked with some concern: "Shen Lu is a little worried now. These days, his Life is not easy, there are already people impeaching him, if he does not move, he is afraid that he will be overwhelmed by the topic of impeachment."

Dad didn't approve?
Zhu Houzhao didn't know why, but if he wanted to ask about the salt merchants, he might as well ask them together tomorrow!Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "I'll ask tomorrow."

After getting Zhu Houzhao's reply, Zhang Heling left happily. Zhu Houzhao had other things to do, so he found Liu Jin, handed Liu Jin a drawing, and said, "Send it to the Nei Dyeing Bureau and let them do it. this!"

On the drawing is a flag, a black flag with a white dragon on a black background. This is the black dragon flag prepared by Zhu Houzhao.

This kind of flag Zhu Houzhao plans to make some big ones to be used as military flags, and some small ones to cover the urns of fallen soldiers.

This era pays attention to burrowing into the ground for safety, but sometimes it is impossible to leave a whole corpse on the battlefield, and it is even more impossible to transport the corpse back.The weather conditions are not allowed, and the transportation conditions are not allowed. If you encounter the soldier's hometown, the corpse may have rotted long ago.Zhu Houzhao originally thought about building a martyrs cemetery, but he gave up the idea after thinking about it.

It is better to give the soldiers the treatment they deserve, to let their families be respected in the village, and to bring the bones back and build a tomb than to bury them in the martyr's cemetery.

Although Liu Jin didn't know what Zhu Houzhao was doing, he knew that this was not what he should ask, so he quickly took the drawing and bowed, "I'm going now, servant girl!"

After everything was arranged properly, Zhu Houzhao was busy writing the plan until midnight before going to sleep.Zhu Houzhao didn't go to court early the next morning. He slept too late yesterday and didn't get up in the morning.At my current age, I am still sleepy, and it is really difficult to get up early in the morning. Of course, it's not that Zhu Houzhao can't get up, but he doesn't want to go to the morning court either.

After breakfast, Zhu Houzhao came to Qianqing Palace. At this time, Zhu Youtang, who had left the early court, was having breakfast.

He waved his hand to signal the serving eunuch to step down, and Zhu Houzhao personally served Zhu Youtang to eat.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao coming, Zhu Youtang smiled slightly, and enjoyed Zhu Youtang's service with peace of mind. After eating and removing the food, the father and son sat down to drink tea and chat.Zhu Houzhao didn't make any detours, and asked directly: "Father, has the secret report from the Secretary of General Affairs been handed over?"

Glancing at his son, Zhu Youtang laughed and cursed: "Zhuzi!"

How could Zhu Youtang know that his son already knew about it, and it's not like he didn't know about Zhang Heling's going to Xianyang Palace. His brother-in-law was jumping up and down these days, and his son's absence made him so anxious that he was beaten up several times when he came here to inquire about the news. go back.Now that his son came back, he ran over to inform him in a hurry.

"Handed it up!" Zhu Youtang nodded, and then said: "I have been pressing down, but I actually want to wait for you to come back."

"This matter has always been handled by you. If you are not here, I am afraid that there will be omissions. After all, this is a big matter. If there are any omissions, it may not be easy to recover in the future."

Hearing Zhu Youtang's words, Zhu Houzhao nodded lightly. He knew that his father was prudent, and at the same time he respected himself: "In this case, let's implement it as soon as possible! Trial it in three provinces, I believe it will be effective soon. , and then it can be rolled out across the country.”

Zhu Youtang nodded: "Since you're back, you can start anytime."

The father and son finished talking about this matter in a few words. Zhu Youtang didn't wait for Zhu Houzhao to ask, and directly started talking about the salt administration: "The list of salt merchants was handed over by the cabinet."

Zhu Houzhao took the list handed over by Zhu Youtang, and took out the list given to him by Zhang Heling without concealing it. The names on this list were all salt merchants from Xungui's side. Seeing this scene, Zhu Youtang just slightly He smiled and said nothing.Recently, Zhang Heling sent a lot of money into the palace. These are still small heads. The real big head came after the salt merchants started to operate.

The emperor is also short of money, and Zhu Youtang is also waiting for the Yanzheng to make money. The court is short of money everywhere, and nothing can be done without money!
