There are actually many ZTE emperors in history. The most famous one should be Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, who is also known as the son of the plane. Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu can be said to be the only emperor in history who has both the founding and ZTE emperors.

It is naturally inappropriate to compare Zhu Youtang to Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu. The Ming Dynasty has not yet reached that point. After all, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty was conquered by Wang Mang after he usurped the Han Dynasty. On the contrary, it was Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun who corresponded to Zhu Youtang

It is more suitable for the body.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was the first ZTE since Qin. His ZTE made outstanding contributions to the eight hundred years of rule of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty had a history of eight hundred years, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was indispensable.

Speaking of the Han Dynasty, the one you may be most familiar with is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is true that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was indeed a great king, but during his tenure, the Han Dynasty went on a military rampage and fought in all directions. The national strength restored after the "Government of Wen and Jing" was restored.

It was almost exhausted. Although the social conflicts in the Han Dynasty were alleviated through the efforts of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty and Huo Guang, it was Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty who really made the Western Han Dynasty realize its renaissance and once reached its peak.

After Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty took office, he worked hard internally to recuperate and recuperate with the people, restore the country's vitality, and implement the Han system; externally, he surrendered the Xiongnu, pacified the Western Qiang, established the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and established Chang Pingcang. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was also good at literature and martial arts.

During his reign, the national power of the Western Han Dynasty reached its peak, and peace prevailed all over the world. It is said in history that "he was a good official in the old Han Dynasty, so he prospered and was called Zhongxing Yan".

Zhu Houzhao's use of this metaphor to describe his father was of course the most appropriate one. You must know that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty had a very high opinion of him.

Zhu Youtang glanced at his son. Although he knew in his heart that this was flattery from his son, he still felt very comfortable. He stroked his beard and accepted his son's flattery with a smile: "Then tell me, how can you make up for it!

"

I have been waiting for your words for a long time. Zhu Houzhao sighed in his heart: "I think that if you want to reorganize the military camp, you should not train all the troops, but concentrate on doing big things!" When he said this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became excited: "The imperial court

Money and energy are limited, and if we do everything together, the imperial court's financial resources and energy will not be able to take care of it."

"For example, if the imperial court spends two million taels for military training, then if the money is dispersed to Jiubian and Jingying, how much equipment can be purchased, how many horses can be purchased, and how many city walls can be repaired?"

Two million taels seems like a lot, but it is not that much, because the Ming Dynasty is so big that if you throw it in front, it might not even make a splash.

Zhu Youtang looked at his son. He didn't know what the expression was on his face. Why did he want to beat his son so much? He said it was two million taels. Do you think the two million taels from the court came from the strong wind?

Yes? You must know that the imperial court has no money. If the treasury comes up with these two million taels, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will probably have to submit his resignation directly.

It is not yet after Zhang Juzheng's reforms. Now the court's income mainly comes from grain and cloth, and taxes are also collected from items.

The main source of money for the imperial court was the salt tax, and the tea tax was all about tea, not money. Under such circumstances, the imperial court's expenses were not loose at all.

In addition, the grain and cloth collected by the imperial court seemed to be a lot, but in fact it was not much. It was not enough every year. Although the son was just making an analogy, it was obvious that the son was eyeing this time's salt quota. He still had an appetite.

He was not young, and he wanted two million when he first came up. Zhu Youtang felt that his son was just trying to eat shit.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao didn't know what his father was thinking, nor did he know that his father was worried about money, so he continued to talk there.

"So I think that the imperial court should reorganize the Beijing camp, and without increasing the number of personnel, set up a new army and select the best from the best." Zhu Houzhao waved his hands and said: "Adopt new tactics, new equipment, and use new training methods. With this Once, veterans of the Northwest War were used as the backbone to build a cavalry force of 30,000 people. I even thought of a name and called it the Black Dragon Army."

Listening to what his son was saying, Zhu Youtang listened with a serious face, and then nodded seriously: "It's better to leave this matter to the emperor!"

"The expenses will be handed over to the emperor. In this way, the father will return the profits of the mirror to you, and the emperor will raise the rest by himself." Zhu Youtang said with a sigh: "The emperor has grown up. Now that I'm older, I know that I can share my worries for my father, which is good, I feel so relieved, I feel so relieved!" He said and wiped his eyes as a gesture.

When Zhu Houzhao saw this scene, the expression on his face was extremely exciting. He really didn't know what to say, "Father, you have learned so badly!"

It can't be like this!

I'm just a prince, you can't treat me like this. I have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty!

Did the emperor doubt the prince? Did he agree not to let the prince lead the army? Did he agree not to let the prince become more mature? Zhu Houzhao began to doubt life, and took a step forward quickly. Just when he was about to say something, he said He was interrupted by Zhu Youtang.

"Your Majesty!" Zhu Youtang stood up and said with a sigh: "Okay! Okay, in this way, I will pass the order and let people cooperate with you. It's great. My father must go and talk to your mother and queen." After that, Zhu Youtang turned around and left, lowering his head and shrugging his shoulders, as if he was restraining himself from crying, but Zhu Houzhao felt very sad because he felt that his father would laugh again.

Dad didn't even have time to talk about what happened at the Imperial Martial Arts Academy, so he just left with his people. This was because he was afraid of saying anything!

Humming a little tune, Zhu Youtang came to Kunning Palace with his hands behind his back and cheated his son. It felt so good. No, this is not a trap. What should the child do with the money? Why not do something with it? Anyway, These will all be his in the future. Thinking of this, Zhu Youtang suddenly felt that it was natural. As for the money in Zhu Youtang's treasury and internal treasury, what? Is there any money there? I don't remember.

Zhu Houzhao returned to his Xianyang Palace helplessly. He was in a bad mood. He was actually cheated, and he was cheated so miserably. What kind of thing is this!

Steel mills, steel ore, and hired workers, these are all things Zhu Houzhao needs to do with the money from selling mirrors. The steel produced is used to forge plate armor. This is all money. Will the imperial court give money to purchase Zhu Houzhao's plate armor? ?You can see what dad means. You are thinking nonsense. Give you money and you want to be beautiful. If you have to bear the burden of horse training, food and drink for an army of 30,000 people, Zhu Houzhao feels that he is going bankrupt.

Of course, the court will still pay the salary of 30,000 people, but that’s it. The financial gap is huge!

Sitting on the chair helplessly, Zhu Houzhao called Liu Jin over with a gesture, and then asked: "How much money do I have now?"

Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao really didn't know how much money he had. He knew it originally, but Zhu Houzhao was not in the capital these days, so he really didn't know the income of the East Palace. Whether it was Qi Qi Zhai or other income, Zhu Houzhao It's not clear, but Zhu Houzhao believes that Liu Jin knows that he is now his chief steward.

"Back to Your Highness, there are 3,620,000 taels of silver in the warehouse, as well as 760,000 taels of copper coins and gold." Liu Jin quickly bowed.

But before Liu Jin finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao interrupted Liu Jin. He stood up in disbelief: "So many?"

"Going back to Your Highness, Qi Zhai and the other side sold heaters and received more than 360,000 taels, and mirrors received more than 2.4 million taels. There are also some that were sent to the palace by Shouning Hou. There are probably

There are more than 300,000 taels of silver and 180,000 taels of copper coins." Liu Jin quickly explained to Zhu Houzhao the source of the money, and he was stunned. The money came so fast.

Zhu Houzhao's first thought was that his uncle Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, had given so much money to the palace. How much was this guy greedy?

The other thing is about heaters. I sold more than 360,000 yuan just selling heaters in one winter. Sure enough, I made a lot of money from luxury goods.

Qizhai's stoves are not just ordinary iron stoves. They are carefully designed by skilled craftsmen, and coupled with perfect and considerate after-sales service, they even introduced copper ones. Later, there will also be silver and gold small stoves and hand stoves, and the prices are natural.

There is nothing to say. Now that he saw his income, Zhu Houzhao didn't know what he felt in his heart. He was still on the path of making a lot of money.

"How much money did the mirror make?" Another thing Zhu Houzhao couldn't believe was the mirror. Can one mirror sell so much?

"That's the admission fee!" Liu Jin said with a smile: "After Qi Zhai launched the mirror, businessmen flocked to Qi Zhai. Qi Qi Zhai introduced a joint stock and admission system. Each place only cooperates with one businessman, and the others

If you don’t cooperate, those who cooperate need to pay an access fee, and then the cooperative businessman will get land and store in the local area to open a Qi Zhai.”

"The goods sold are provided by Qi Zhai, and Qi Zhai participates in the operation and management of the store. The profits earned are split 50-50 by both parties."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were swollen when he heard this. He didn't know what to say. Isn't this the routine of 4S stores in later generations? No selling is allowed without authorization. If you want to get the rights, pay the money and provide the venue. Follow my instructions

The requirement to build a store is even more exaggerated than a 4S store. You have to participate in management and share the profits. It's simply ridiculous.

"What about the price of the goods?" Zhu Houzhao thought of this question immediately and asked directly.

"Get the goods at 80% of the selling price in the capital!" Liu Jin added on the side, cautiously. He didn't know what happened to his Highness.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know what he felt in his heart. This was too, too, too dark, wasn't it? Zhu Houzhao, who was Qianqia, felt it was too dark in his heart. After glancing at Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao immediately asked: "Those businessmen will agree

Already?"

"I agreed!" Liu Jin nodded matter-of-factly: "Not only did he agree, but he agreed very happily. Many people couldn't get connections, so they dug around for connections. Shouning Hou has been pushing people over these days."
