"Okay, leave the mirror, you have nothing to do here!" Zhu Youtang waved his hand and said with a hint of disgust: "Remember to send your mirror over!"

"Yes, Father, I have said goodbye!" Zhu Houzhao was not surprised. He came to Kunning Palace by himself. If his father was here, he was destined to stay for a short time. Of course, this had something to do with Zhu Houzhao not wanting to be shown off.

Relationship, what is it like to have a pair of loving parents? The answer is that it is like charging your phone bill.

Watching her son leave, Queen Zhang pulled Zhu Youtang and asked, "Why do you have to ask for your son's money? It's not like the internal treasury doesn't have enough money."

Recently, my younger brother has been very proud of himself. Not only does he no longer cause trouble, but he can also make money. Every time he brings a lot of property to the palace, unlike before, he only enters the palace to ask for money or to file a complaint. This makes

Empress Zhang is in a good mood, which is really very good for Empress Zhang.

Empress Zhang was not happy when she saw Zhu Youtang asking for her son's money. It was not easy for her son to make some money, so why bother asking for his son's money?

Zhu Youtang glanced at his queen and sighed helplessly in his heart. You don't know your son's inner thoughts, but Zhu Youtang also knows that he can't tell him clearly. You can't say that your son is as cunning as a fox, right?

Aren't you afraid that your wife will scratch you all over your face? With a sigh, Zhu Youtang said slowly: "Not all our property belongs to our son."

"From now on, all the Ming Dynasty and the money in the inner treasury will be reserved for him? Now that he makes so much money, he may not necessarily do anything with it. He will put some of it in the inner treasury."

"Once he spends all of it in the future, the money in the inner treasury can also be left to him, so that he won't have no money, right?"

Empress Zhang squinted her eyes and leaned on Zhu Youtang, and nodded gently. She felt that her man was right, and this was great. Her son was still so young, and he really shouldn't have spent so much money in his house.

There's quite a lot of good stuff in the library.

If Zhu Houzhao were here, he would definitely sneer at his father's statement. How is this different from deceiving a child for new year's money?

I save it for you. If you save it, it will be gone. In his previous life, Zhu Houzhao made money by himself until he started working, and he never saw what his New Year’s money looked like. Although I understand the hard work of our parents to support us, but the New Year’s money

When I was taken away, the feeling was really unforgettable, and I will never forget it even after traveling to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao didn't know that his father was using this reason to deceive his mother, and at the same time he also opened a door for her.

He is very excited now. The mirror has been made. Once it is launched, it will be a big hit, and he will be able to make a lot of money by then.

Everything was going according to Zhu Houzhao's vision. Qi Qi Zhai's mirror became popular throughout the capital as soon as it was launched. Starting from nobles and relatives, to wealthy businessmen, it can be said that a mirror is hard to find. A palm-sized mirror costs 30

A dressing mirror the size of a human head costs 80 guan, and a full-length mirror of the same height costs 400 guan.

Money flowed in like running water, and countless merchants began to shop around, even raising prices. Their only purpose was to traffic.

At this time, mirrors were sold out, whether in the south of the Yangtze River or in the northwest, and they could definitely be sold at a high price. For a time, the entire Qijizhai was pushed to the forefront. After the imperial court rewarded this trend, it was officially promoted, and the emperor

He rewarded several cabinet ministers and Jiu Qing with a vanity mirror the size of a human head, which caused thousands of waves.

Qi Qi Zhai and Mirror instantly became a hot topic in the capital, so negotiations on Qi Qi Zhai's joint venture started smoothly, which was expected to overwhelm next year's salt administration.

In such an atmosphere, the New Year finally passed. Zhu Houzhao stayed past midnight. This was his first New Year in the Ming Dynasty. After tonight, the Ming Dynasty passed the thirteenth year of Hongzhi and entered the tenth year of Hongzhi.

Four years. This will be Zhu Houzhao's second year in Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houzhao believes that this will be a very important year.

After the New Year, there was nothing going on in the imperial offices and officials' rooms. Yang Lian was busy at Qi Zhai, so Zhu Houzhao didn't need to worry about it.

Sighing that it was cold and snowing a lot, Zhu Houzhao didn't go out much. Even the training of those in Xiyuan was stopped, and Zhu Houzhao also gave them a holiday. Hiding in his Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao just ate and slept every day.

Sleeping, or exercising, to train his body. Now that Zhu Houzhao doesn't practice for a day, his whole body will really feel uncomfortable.

In addition to these, Zhu Houzhao also began to plan his own business territory. Mirror is a key product. It will spread Qi Zhai all over the Ming Dynasty, allowing Zhu Houzhao to extend his business tentacles to every place in the Ming Dynasty, but this is not enough.

Outside the mirror, Zhu Houzhao still wants to expand into other industries. The reason why these gentry and businessmen are so powerful and able to make troubles is not because they control the economic lifeline of a country. This will never be possible in future generations. Even the so-called freedom

In democratic America, how many companies have been disrupted by antitrust laws.

Not to mention the economic lifeline of a country, even if you monopolize an industry, how did the Mobil Oil Trust collapse back then?

The country absolutely does not allow such people to exist. What about the Ming Dynasty? The economic lifeline of the Ming Dynasty is basically not in the hands of the emperor, not even taxes. How can the government of such a country have the power to rule? Once you pinch it,

If you control the economic lifeline, control the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and establish a new class, then there will be people to support you.

The salt policy incident this time is a good proof. Under the leadership of the nobles and relatives, they arrested so many salt merchants and the two Huaihe Rivers were not in chaos. Why?

People who thought they were arranged by nobles and relatives quickly took over, the salt administration was in order, kitchen households lived better, and the wages of those who worked for the salt merchants were increased, so why is there chaos? Relying on the salt merchants themselves? Don't

In a dream, they couldn't even resist Dongchang and Jinyiwei. But this kind of thing can only happen once, not again.

Why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dare to issue an edict? Because he had strong military power to back him up. If you don't accept it, you will be destroyed.

Support Wei Qing, support Huo Qubing. The generals in the army are all confidants of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The same is true for Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. The generals in the army are all my people. Isn't it the same with Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty? The army all listens to me. If you don't listen, then

Just kill you, that’s how power politics comes about. But what about the Ming Dynasty now? To be honest, Zhu Houzhao really has no confidence in the Ming Dynasty’s army.

Just look at the chaos that occurred during the Jiajing period. The Ming Dynasty's army was really in trouble, and it collapsed at the slightest mistake.

What Zhu Houzhao has to do is to lead and create an interest group that supports him. Once he succeeds, what he has to do will be much simpler.

For example, during the American Civil War, the slogans were shouted loudly, but the real purpose was not because the big capitalists in the North needed cheap labor, while the plantation owners in the South held a large number of slaves. To put it bluntly, it was a battle of interests between two interest groups.

The North won the war, why, because it was an industrial civilization and they were engaged in large-scale industrial production.

Manor owners in the south, how many guns can you make? How many cannons can you make? Only if you win can you win.

Zhu Houzhao's current thinking is almost like this. If he touches the tax system before he has enough strength, he is seeking death. Zhang Juzheng's reforms are just scratching the surface and have not touched the fundamentals at all. But how much opposition has he encountered? What if he really touched the core?

Benefits, who knows what will happen.

Make money, strengthen yourself, and then be able to repair some people and fix things, instead of making money through reforms, which is basically impossible.

Now that my business territory has been expanded through Qizhai, the mirror is enough to open a channel for myself, and of course I can't stop later.

Because he had this thing to do, Zhu Houzhao lived a very fulfilling life. There was nothing much happened during the entire New Year period, and everything was stable. According to the Ming Dynasty's system, the official office was basically opened after the fifteenth day, and the whole court basically

Operations resumed, and Zhu Houzhao also went to attend the first morning court, but it was very boring.

"Go and find the people from the Jiujiu Noodle Bureau and Siyuan Bureau for me!" Zhu Hou looked at Liu Jin and then said.

Zhu Houzhao has two actions in the eighth bureau this year, one is the wine and vinegar noodle bureau, and the other is the Siyuan bureau. Needless to say, the Siyuan bureau is responsible for growing vegetables and fruits in the palace, so it is natural for Zhu Houzhao to find them.

For vegetables and fruits. For vegetables, greenhouses can be built, and those frosted glass must be used.

In terms of fruits, fruit wine can be considered. In a farming society like the Ming Dynasty, planting is definitely a good career and can solve the employment problems of many people.

This is what Zhu Houzhao wants to do. He wants to recruit refugees, recruit tenants, and transfer these people at the bottom through a large number of jobs. Everything in this world is, to put it bluntly, a human matter. Once the people at the bottom are removed,

Pulled over, he still occupies the upper level. It is much easier to deal with the gentry and landlords in the middle level.

This is also part of Zhu Houzhao's business sector. Although it may take a long time, the effect is good and stable, which is what Zhu Houzhao needs.

Another focus of Zhu Houzhao is the internal weaving and dyeing bureau and the scarf and hat bureau. To put it bluntly, they are wool spinning and wool clothing production. This must be done. Export silk and change rice to mulberry. This is not good. We export wool.

Thread, export wool cloth, low price, and large quantity, how good is this?

The British colonial goods were wool imitations. The famous sheep-cannibalism theory makes Zhu Houzhao shudder when he thinks about it.
