Zhu Houzhao knew that his father was stimulated, but Zhu Houzhao didn't catch up to comfort him. There was nothing he could say about it. He glanced at Yang Lian who was standing behind Yang Peng, and Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "You are very good!"

He turned to look at Yang Peng and said with a smile: "Big companion, send him to my side to serve you, are you willing to do so?"

Zhu Houzhao really took a fancy to Yang Lian. You must know that this time he was investigating the Ye family, but Yang Lian had thoroughly investigated the Hui merchants.

The key is not this, but that Yang Lian clearly knows the reasons for these things, which is very rare.

Zhu Houzhao felt that he lacked such people who had an overall view of the overall situation and were inspiring. Although Liu Jin and others were also vicious, their overall view of the situation was not the least bit worse. Zhu Houzhao felt that this Yang Lian could be cultivated. Of course, Zhu Houzhao wanted Yang Lian and others.

Another reason is for Yang Peng.

Yang Peng, the owner of the Dongchang factory, was not favored by his father, but Zhu Houzhao was, and he thought it would be of great use.

If Yang Lian comes to Zhu Houzhao's side, this matter will be much easier to handle. If anything happens in the future, Yang Lian can be asked to pass on the message, which can be regarded as building a bridge between Zhu Houzhao and Yang Peng.

Although Yang Peng, the Duke of Dongchang, is very low-key and has no sense of existence, but if someone can sneak into the position of Duke of Dongchang, it is really for nothing. This is the existence that stands out among so many eunuchs in the palace.

With his exquisite mind, he knew what Zhu Houzhao meant in a flash of lightning.

How could Yang Peng refuse such a thing? He quickly flattered and said: "Serving His Highness is a way for us slaves to accumulate merit in our previous lives. Since Your Highness likes him, let him come to His Highness and do his bidding."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said with a smile: "That's the best. I just need him to do something here, so come over sometime!" After saying this, Zhu Houzhao turned around and walked out.

With a smile on his face, he saw something good this time, and his father was probably going to do something.

After returning to Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao lay on the rocking chair, took a sip of tea, then picked up a piece of candied fruit and took a bite.

Zhu Houzhao is also thinking about what to do about this matter. This is not a small matter, but an absolutely big matter. If it is not handled well, there will be problems. Of course, if it is not handled well, what will the problem become?

Zhu Houzhao knew very well that it must be done, but how to do it was the key to the problem.

Although Zhu Houzhao was angry with these businessmen, Zhu Houzhao also knew that this matter should be looked at separately, and the businessmen as a group could not be defeated with one stroke.

Officials and businessmen are a difficult problem to solve in any era. How can Comrade Chuan Jianguo be the president of the United States in future generations? Officials are not allowed to do business, but what about their families? Even if their families do not do business, is there still less collusion between officials and businessmen?

It is a big problem to solve, and a good solution needs to be found.

We can't kill all the businessmen, but we can't let them make such a fuss. This matter needs to be carefully considered.

For example, the protagonists of this incident are Huizhou merchants. Why do these people do business? It’s not because Huizhou is not suitable for farming. People cannot survive without doing business. People are also looking for a way to survive. There are collusions between officials and businessmen, and there are people who are engaged in business for officials.

Yes, but are there any good businessmen? Patriotic businessmen?

This is definitely true. Zhu Houzhao can be sure that even during the period of warlord wars in later generations, and even during the Anti-Japanese War, there were many patriotic businessmen who served the country through industry and rejuvenated the country through industry. The key lies in how to manage and guide, and how to do this in this era.

Management, how to guide it? Of course, go overseas.

If we can't harm the country these days, let them go out and do harm. The Ming Dynasty is really too big in this era.

Whether in terms of total secondary output or total capital, Ming Dynasty has developed to the top. With the current productivity conditions, it is very difficult for Ming Dynasty to break through. Limited by productivity, social resources in this era are limited, and social wealth is also limited.

Yes, these people will naturally want to fight and fight. If the emerging industries are flourishing and there are vents everywhere, and everyone will go to the vent to be a pig, who will have the heart to fight here.

There are few industries that make money, and even fewer industries that make huge profits. How can we do it without fighting? If we don’t fight to the death, it won’t work.

So what should we do? There are two ways, to develop the economy and improve productivity conditions, such as starting the industrial revolution. But Zhu Houzhao couldn't do it. He didn't have those conditions, so don't think about it. The second way is to follow the old path of this era.

Follow other people's routines, go out of the land, go to the sea, or plunder, rob, and colonize.

When merchants set their sights on the ocean, and the fleet can bring back more wealth from a single trip than those who have been selling salt for several years, who will be beaten to the head by the salt farm?

"There is a long way to go!" Zhu Houzhao stuffed the last piece of candied fruit into his mouth, and then murmured. He kicked his legs lightly on the ground, and the rocking chair began to rock. Zhu Houzhao also closed his eyes. As the rocking chair swayed back and forth, Zhu Houzhao

I couldn't help but think to myself, the person who invented the rocking chair is really great.

While Zhu Houzhao was enjoying life, Zhu Youtang was still depressed on the other side. However, Queen Zhang was pregnant, and he didn't dare to worry his wife, so he tried not to show it. But they had been married for so many years, how could Queen Zhang see it?

It seemed that Zhu Youtang was worried, so he smiled and took Zhu Youtang's hand and asked, "What happened?"

Although it is said that the harem does not interfere with politics, in many cases it has no binding force. It is only taken out and used when it is needed. It is usually left there for display.

Zhu Youtang glanced at Queen Zhang, saw her looking at him worriedly, and sighed helplessly. He knew that if he didn't tell Queen Zhang, Queen Zhang would definitely be more worried, so he said: "Let's talk about the salt administration.

Zhao'er is right, that brat is not necessarily very proud now!"

"How could it be!" Empress Zhang rolled her eyes at Zhu Youtang with a stern look: "Zhao'er is so sensible, he has lost weight these days."

Seeing Empress Zhang's appearance, Zhu Youtang decisively shut her mouth and extinguished her desire to complain about her son. For Empress Zhang, her son was the top of her heart, and she couldn't say more. But Zhu Youtang was still happy in her heart.

He couldn't get up and said with a headache: "There is no way to solve this problem for the time being!"

"Isn't it the emperor's fault? Then let him solve it!" Empress Zhang said matter-of-factly: "Since he knows what's going on, he must have a solution."

"But he said!" Zhu Youtang stopped in the middle of his retort, then showed a look of helplessness on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Who did he learn this from? Go to him tomorrow and say,
Chapter completed!
