Chapter 37 Heartwarming
Zhu Di pulled Li Jinglong up. They were serious relatives, Zhu Di and Li Wenzhong, just like Xu Jingchang and Zhu Gaoxu. Li Jinglong was a generation shorter than Zhu Di. He played since childhood, urinating and mud, farting and shaking holes, and doing everything.
At this moment, my heart was opened, as if I had returned to my youth in a brightly dressed and angry horse. Zhu Di sighed in his heart.
"I have talked to the young master and all the scholars in the cabinet these days. My father, the emperor, was so brave and heroic that he had created a great BenQ. I cannot lose his people, and I cannot let go of his civil and military achievements. In terms of civil and political affairs, I have to compile the record of Taizu, and I have to compile a certain number of books. Back then, my father wanted to compile a book and edit the theory of the classics and history of the hundred schools of thought, but unfortunately he did not achieve it. I am going to continue his career and compile this book."
Li Jinglong listened carefully and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Xu Tongzheng just told me that I would recommend me to compile a book!"
Zhu Di was stunned and couldn't help but smile and said, "He can write books even if he is a martial artist?"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, in the fourth year of Jingnan, it would be inaccurate to just compile books from Your Majesty. If Duke Cao could combine his arrangements and arrange them, compare and verify each other, the historical books he compiled must be golden rules and impeccable."
Zhu Di smiled and said, "So, let Duke Cao follow the book to compile."
Li Jinglong turned over and caught a position, so he was naturally overjoyed.
One advantage of this person is that he is grateful and repays kindness. There is no doubt that the current situation is all done by Xu Jingchang. This kid is not very popular, and his ability is really good.
From now on, we will definitely follow the orders and follow the horse.
Zhu Di wanted to do a lot of things, such as writing books, fighting wars, and trying to do everything, and everything costs money.
Xu Jingchang's eyes turned and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I am planning to build a fleet to recruit crew members if I want to go to sea in a large scale. It is already very fast to be able to go to sea in one or two years. I suggest whether I can send a small fleet to North Korea, Ryukyu, Japan, Annan and other places in advance, so as to say hello to them, make preliminary transactions, and find out what is profitable and what we have prepared here. To make money, work harder and not shabby."
Only by seeking wealth from outside is the safest thing to do.
Xu Jingchang smiled again and said, "You can copy it, so you can do it in old ways, right?"
Now tax collection is not as simple as cutting off the flesh, but becomes a stepping stone and a golden key to the road to wealth.
Only then did the few people understand that Xu Jingchang was planning to make this fortune.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Xu Jingchang became lively. Zhu Gaoxu came early, and then Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng and Cao Guogong Li Jinglong all came to him, and the old monk Yao Guangxiao also came.
Yao Guangxiao said: "Mns do not love money, the more they are, the better."
"Yes!" The person in charge nodded, "It's true. Some people like art and don't have that much money, so they buy some imitation and put it at home, just a mischievous layman."
After pausing again, Zhu Di simply said, "Let's do this, leave the business matter to the Ministry of Revenue and undertake it by Shangshu Xia. In the early stage of the trade, Xu Jingchang was asked to be responsible. Those of the nobles of the dynasty who want to make some profits in business, would talk to him. This kid has so many tricks in his stomach, and he can't lose money."
Yao Guangxiao's face sank, sneered: "All businessmen are not traitors, I still know this. I don't believe it, what other tricks can you do!"
Xu Jingchang nodded repeatedly, "It's very good, by the way, can you still burn porcelain? It's the official kilns of the Yuan Dynasty, blue and white porcelain, can it be burned out?"
Zhu Di's understanding was already very clear. In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what was hyped up and wanted to accumulate a large amount of wealth, it would hurt some people. After all, money would not fall from the sky.
Yao Guangxiao's eyes widened, "Xu Jingchang, you will really go to hell like this."
Xu Jingchang looked at them and smiled and said, "How is it, is the craftsmanship okay?"
Everyone drank happily and chatted happily.
While he was talking, Wu Shan came in from outside, and two guys following him were also following him.
Xu Jingchang certainly agreed with Zhu Di's point of view. He was about to say a few words when Xia Yuanji suddenly stood up.
Xu Jingchang blinked his eyes, and in the past he underestimated Xia Yuanji, this guy's mind was definitely not simple.
Delivery to your door is heartwarming.
The authority in his hands soared rapidly.
The two of them shook their heads, "If you want to go to adults, the younger ones won't burn it, but we know that Jingdezhen has powerful craftsmen who can burn it. Not only from the Yuan Dynasty, but also from the Tang and Song dynasties, there is no problem."
He looked back at the people present, "I have asked someone to inquire about it. In North Korea, I regard myself as a small Chinese and have always admired the customs of the country. Now the world is peaceful and it is a prosperous antique. Don't let them work hard to buy a bunch of fake goods when they go back. We must take decisive action to solve their worries and deliver the things to other people's doorsteps. I am a kind person, so I can't stand them being deceived by others."
Xu Jingchang nodded repeatedly, "Since he can repair it, can he imitate it?"
While talking and laughing, the eyes of voyage to the West appeared.
"I have reported to Your Majesty. Recently, I have established a tax card with Xu Tongzheng at Jubaomen and have earned tens of thousands of taxes... I wonder if you can stipulate that merchants who pay a considerable amount of tax can participate in overseas trade? After all, they pay taxes according to the rules, which naturally proves that their credit is reliable and loyal, and making money with the court is also justified."
Zhu Di laughed, "Okay, you are careful and you will do it."
Xu Jingchang has heard about the development of overseas trade from Empress Xu.
"Young Master, you are all outsiders and don't talk about money, so don't get involved in our mundane affairs."
Sure enough, there are many benefits to flattering, so that’s all right!
"Sir, I found these two guys, please ask."
Zhu Di was immediately overjoyed, "What Secretary Xia said was a regular business, so you can arrange to go to sea trade, buy how much merchant goods you want, and purchase from whom, and the Ministry of Revenue will come up with a charter. I am going to ask Zheng He to lead the fleet. When their family was in the Yuan Dynasty, they went out to sea several times to make pilgrimage to Dashi and other places, familiar with the sea routes and know the people's sentiments. He led the team and was foolproof."
The head-in-law bowed hurriedly and said, "The villain has passed down from the ancestors for five generations, and they all repaired gold, stone and bronze ware. The old ones are as old as they are, and no one can tell."
This light words made Xu Jingchang one of the two important officials who were in charge of the great cause of voyage to the West.
Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids and said, "I said, "Young Master, you'd better leave quickly. I'm afraid that it will ruin your golden body. If you can't enter the Pure Land in a day, don't blame me."
"Everyone, you are all heroes of the world and are extremely talented. I have thought about it repeatedly. The low grains hurt farmers, and the high grains hurt the people. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, no matter what you do, you cannot quickly accumulate wealth and make a fortune. Even if there is, you are afraid that it will be unfavorable to people's livelihood. Only foreign trade, with the overseas barbarians, admire the glory of the country, sell goods, and fill the national treasury, are the safest way. What do you think?"
This guy Xia Yuanji is really a crystal fox, extremely cunning.
Xu Jingchang was overjoyed: "It's great. You can't let go of such professional talents. I'll find them all!"
"Okay, there are too many ways to make old things, such as calligraphy and painting. If the insects are released, the insects are eroded and bitten by rats. In less than half a month, they can pretend to be ancient paintings. If it is jade, it must be steamed in a pot, then wiped with rust and buried underground. If it is a bronze ware... it must be buried in a thatched hut and let it soak in a slut, and it can also look rusty."
He knew too well how hated taxes were. In order to enjoy his old age, he would not dismember him, and he had to release his interests... Anyone who paid enough taxes would have the opportunity to participate in overseas trade and make huge profits.
Xia Yuanji nodded quickly, "I obey the order."
Xu Jingchang said: "Young master is so old, so don't get involved."
"No!" Yao Guangxiao said decisively: "Amitabha, when you are in hell, the rich and the poor are still very different."
This time it was everyone's turn to be speechless. The old thief bald is not a good person.
Now that things have come, don't say anything. Xu Jingchang put his waist on his back and ordered: "The corners of the wall are used to bury bronze ware. From the King of Han, you can come to drink tea and hold your urine if you have nothing to do. Whoever urinates more, get one more portion of the dividends at that time."
