Tang Bohu Marries Qiuxiang

Chapter 34
Zhu Youtang went on to say: "You are willing, don't worry, I will not cut off the way of my servant."

The hall fell into silence again, and Li Guang who was waiting on the side said, "Your Majesty, all the adults have arrived."

Zhu Youtang nodded, and following Li Guang's announcement, the officials entered the hall. There were more than a dozen ministers standing in the Wenhua Hall. The originally not very spacious hall immediately became crowded, and Tang Bohu, an unknown soldier, was squeezed into the corner , Looking at the steady faces, this is the first time Tang Bohu has seen the political core of Ming Dynasty with his own eyes!These people are the confidants of Emperor Hongzhi and the humerus of the empire.

Li Dongyang continued: "Everyone, His Majesty hastily summoned you today about the coal mine!"

"Coal mine?"

The ministers below look at me and I look at you!There is nothing negotiable about coal mines.

Li Dongyang pointed to the coal stove and said: "This is a coal stove. Although the cost is not high, the design is ingenious. If it is widely sold to all parts of Daming, the price of coal mines may be affected."

The officials looked at the coal stove, some nodded and some were still puzzled!But since Emperor Hongzhi wants to formulate a system for the coal mines, let's formulate it, and first complete the tasks assigned by the emperor.

In the final analysis, this incident was not Tang Bohu's fault, it was just a business opportunity brought by a coal stove. Everyone's vision was long-term, and Emperor Hongzhi wanted to seize this opportunity to bring financial revenue to the empire. Coal is such a thing It is rarely used in common people's homes, because the burning of coal is not as convenient as firewood, but with this coal stove, the positions of coal and firewood will change drastically.

With this small coal stove, the usefulness of the coal mine is immediately reflected. It is fire-resistant, does not need to keep adding wood to keep burning, and can control the fire. From this aspect, it can be seen that coal mines are likely to replace today's large coal mines. Some people's cooking tools.

If Emperor Hongzhi intends to win the coal mine, the benefits brought by the coal stove will also be considerable.

Now it is necessary to formulate a policy to control the price of coal, which can not be monopolized by a single company, but also ensures that the common people can afford it, and can maximize the tax revenue of the empire. This is the current problem.

Zhu Houzhao also walked into the Wenhua Palace, and Zhu Youtang glanced at his prince without saying a word, and then discussed with the officials.

"I know you haven't had time to eat yet." Zhu Houzhao took out a handful of jerky and handed it to Tang Bohu's hand and said, "Eat quietly, don't let my father see it."

Tang Bohu nodded, it seems that this prince is still very affectionate!In fact, after Zhu Houzhao became emperor, there was a lot of controversy about this emperor in history. If he was not a good emperor, he could not be regarded as a foolish emperor. Now Tang Bohu has seen it clearly. The nature of this prince is just a yearning for freedom. child.

A child who has lived in the deep palace for a long time will naturally yearn for the outside world, and the eunuchs and maids who obeyed Zhu Houzhao's words after that also caused Zhu Houzhao to develop a kind of willfulness as an adult.

The two teenagers looked at each other and smiled, and Zhu Houzhao also quietly listened to the discussion between the courtiers and his father.

The meeting lasted from noon until late at night. Tang Bohu stood numbly on the spot, leaning against the wall from time to time to relax his numb legs. Zhu Houzhao had already fallen asleep leaning on the chair, with crystal saliva hanging on the corner of his mouth , The meeting was coming to an end, Tang Bohu stretched his waist, all the bones in his body were stiff and made a rattling sound as the bones rubbed against each other. Emperor Hongzhi stood up and said, "You dear ladies, you have worked hard."

"Your Majesty's hard work is our blessing!" The officials saluted, and Tang Bohu followed suit.

Zhu Houzhao also woke up sleepily on the chair and saw the already dimly lit sky, and wiped the drool from his mouth.

The ministers resigned and Tang Bohu mingled in the crowd and also evacuated from the scene, but things backfired.

"Tang Bohu!"

At the moment when one foot stepped out of the palace gate, Emperor Hongzhi's voice stopped Tang Bohu.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here!" Tang Bohu resigned to his fate and walked back to Wenhua Palace.

"What are you going to do with your factory?" Emperor Hongzhi said after taking a sip of his tea.

Tang Bohu made an editorial and said: "I'm going to close the factory now."

Zhu Youtang said: "I don't want to cut off your wealth, but from the price you set the coal stove to a few taels of silver, it can be seen that you are not a person who seeks personal gain. I can let you continue to make Coal stoves and I will inscribe your factories!"

Hearing that the current emperor wanted to write an inscription for his factory, Tang Bohu was very happy but worried. He thought for a long time and said, "I am willing to hand over [-]% of the annual profits of the coal furnace factory to the treasury!"

"So generous?" Zhu Youtang observed Tang Bohu, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, your coal furnace factory has my members, and you have the biggest backer of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Bohu, Tang Bohu, you fought A good abacus."

"I dare not!" Tang Bohu said cautiously.

"Hehe..." Zhu Youtang sneered and said, "I promise you, you are the only coal furnace factory in the capital! You are the only one allowed to produce, but the price must be the original price!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tang Bohu continued, "Then people from other places want to open a coal furnace factory..."

"If someone else can build a coal stove, I won't stop it!" Zhu Youtang said, "The business in this capital is enough for your Tang family."

"Sir! Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Tang Bohu knelt down on one knee.

In fact, Daming did not have the concept of a factory, the most common one was a workshop!Emperor Hongzhi didn't know how far Tang Bohu would expand the factory, but after a few years the factory would become a colossus, with tens of thousands of people working in the factory. This colossus made Emperor Hongzhi dare not shake it easily. This is what Tang Bohu established. The original intention of the factory is to increase the employment rate, increase productivity, and promote economic circulation, and then start shipping!
Rich country, strong country!That was Tang Bohu's real purpose.

Zhu Houzhao was escorted back to the East Palace by Liu Jin. Tang Bohu and Zhu Youtang stood in the quiet Wenhua Palace. After a long time, Zhu Youtang said, "You didn't come home all night, and the family was in a hurry! I'll send you off!" You."

"I dare not!"

Tang Bohu was used to saying that.

Zhu Youtang shook his head and walked out of the Wenhua Palace side by side with Tang Bohu. Zhu Youtang said as he walked, "My prince is used to being stubborn, so he can attend my discussion today?"

"Actually, His Royal Highness is not bad by nature." Tang Bohu said.

Zhu Youtang nodded and said, "Tang Bohu, what is your ambition!"

"A rich country! A strong country!" Tang Bohu said.

Watching the sunrise, Zhu Youtang stood in the vast palace: "Isn't Da Ming strong now?"

"Does Your Majesty feel strong?" Tang Bohu asked back.
