"The Guards Department is on an errand, and those who are idle should dodge!"
"Everyone who is idle should dodge and get out of the way."
…
Several people from the Guards Department also arrived at the shore, boarded the ship and set sail. Naturally, they did not care about other people. They immediately caused a chaos on the shore. Zhang Ximeng held his son and waited for a full quarter of an hour before he arrived.
Jiang Nan disembarked from the boat with her son in her arms.
The couple had been separated for some time, and now they had to give birth alone. Zhang Ximeng felt very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab his wife's wrist.
"Be gentle, there are still children!" Jiang Nan reminded in a low voice.
Zhang Ximeng didn't realize it, he just looked at it again and again, and suddenly frowned, "You, why haven't you lost weight?"
Jiang Nan laughed angrily, "I said Mr. Zhang, if you think about it, I can't live without you? I have to think about it day and night. People are thinner than yellow flowers, and then love is stronger than gold, and righteousness is deeper than the sea.
?”
Zhang Ximeng smiled hurriedly and said: "It's no big deal, you're doing well."
Jiang Nan was startled for a moment, then looked sad and whispered: "It's not enough to raise a child with your whole heart!"
She lowered her head, looked at her son's plump face, and couldn't help laughing. She gave the dick in her arms to Zhang Ximeng, "Hold it!"
Zhang Ximeng quickly caught it. The child was heavy in his hand. Looking at his little face, he was as fat as an apple.
"You look pretty strong!"
"Yeah! I can eat and drink, and I am fed eight times a day. I have no other problems, so I can be considered worthy of your Zhang family." Jiang Nan said lazily.
Zhang Ximeng nodded quickly, "Thank you for your hard work, madam, please go home quickly!"
The couple got on the carriage, and Zhang Shuning followed behind. His little eyes were always on Zhang Ximeng's arms and he was unwilling to move away.
I don't know what happened, but the second son of the Zhang family saw his eldest brother's gaze and looked over, then grinned.
This smile was incredible. Zhang Shuning stretched out his arms. Zhang Ximeng was worried that he could not hold him well, but Jiang Nan didn't care about that and directly gave his dick to his elder brother.
"You two brothers, have fun!"
Zhang Shuning carefully picked up his second brother and held him in his arms with difficulty. Although it was very strenuous, he was very careful not to fall.
"I have hugged King Yan's sister, dad, don't worry."
Zhang Ximeng paused slightly, "Isn't King Yan's sister the princess of the old Zhu family? I'm so relieved!"
But the most important thing right now is his wife. Zhang Ximeng asked Zhang Shuning to hold his second child. He took Jiang Nan's hand and asked softly: "What are your plans when you come back this time?"
Jiang Nan smiled helplessly, "I had many plans, but they were all delayed by these two children. Now that I think about it, I feel a little sorry for His Majesty's salary. I, I want to do something!"
"Then get out!" Zhang Ximeng chuckled and said: "During this period, a lot of things happened in the court...the new salt law, the disposal of nobles, the re-demarcation of provinces, the rectification of officialdom, and so on.
In addition to the clan and vassal king regulations...so many things can be summed up in just one rule."
"What?"
"Pave the way for industry and commerce!" Zhang Ximeng showed his trump card.
Jiang Nan was slightly startled and said subconsciously: "Isn't this something that His Majesty has always been opposed to?"
Zhang Ximeng chuckled, "Do you think it's useful to think that he is against it? He is incompetent and furious. This world must not be left to monks and rebels. The king has the final say!"
Jiang Nan also laughed, "Just name His Majesty directly!"
After a pause, Jiang Nan said: "Ms. sir, are you really sure?"
"Yeah!" Zhang Ximeng nodded and said: "In order to organize the salt affairs, we actually want to shake up the salt and iron monopoly, open up logistics, establish a new supply system, and establish a nationwide market based on the salt that everyone needs. At least in the salt industry
On this aspect, the entire Ming Dynasty is unanimous."
"Dividing provinces, breaking down local fortresses, and rectifying officials and nobles are to prevent them from interfering with business. As for the clan regulations, with this in place, the vassal kings of the Zhu family, who are a little bit capable, will have to work hard to go outside.
Chong. His Majesty is also an ambitious emperor. He also wants to expand the territory. However, his experience in the early years was too painful. No matter when, he values the land more than anything else. But he is not stupid either.
People, if the development of industry and commerce is really not allowed, I won’t be able to deploy it to this extent."
"Actually, it's good to have His Majesty here, just pulling the strings from behind. Otherwise, with just one order, we would develop industry and commerce from head to toe, all thinking about making money. Maybe within three or two years, Su Songchang will be able to conquer this area.
Everything has turned into mulberry fields and cotton fields. Once it gets to that point, no matter what happens, I won’t be able to deal with it.”
…
The wife's return made Zhang Ximeng feel particularly relaxed. There were many things that he could not say to anyone else. Only between husband and wife could he be unscrupulous.
Facing the woman who gave birth to two babies for him, it was difficult for Zhang Ximeng to have any reservations. If he was even on guard against her, life would be too boring.
He was laughing and talking, and Jiang Nan listened carefully. Even when they returned to the mansion, the couple didn't stop. They put the second child in Zhang Shuning's room for the eldest brother to watch.
The couple went to the study again and continued chatting.
Between them, there is endless knowledge of economics and business methods.
What Zhang Ximeng said is correct. The contents he has recently promoted are all to pave the way for industry and commerce. In other words, the ultimate main purpose is to develop industry and commerce.
Being in a high position and planning the future of a country, Zhang Ximeng feels more and more that there are too many things that you can’t just say you want to develop, or come up with a technology or an invention, and then the whole world will follow suit.
Things are not that simple. All aspects must be straightened out, from head to toe, from the inside out. Only when the big aspects are sorted can things be pushed forward smoothly.
Without the preparation of ten months of pregnancy, it is usually difficult for premature babies to survive for a long time, let alone grow up healthily.
"If you are not afraid of hard work, just take up business matters!"
Jiang Nan nodded without hesitation, "It's time to do something. Just give me such great power and no one will make irresponsible remarks?"
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, those people are eager for you to come next!"
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "The princes in the court are not willing to give in? They want to attack you? What is the difference between this and seeking death?"
Zhang Ximeng smiled reservedly, "Don't be so arrogant. Sometimes small bugs can hurt people, and even kill people...such as ticks!"
Jiang Nan was speechless. Her husband's words were really damaging.
"Well, in order to prevent tick bites, where do you think I should start?"
"Start with big things, shipbuilding is a good idea!" Zhang Ximeng said with a smile.
"shipbuilding?"
"Yes!" Zhang Ximeng said: "The Yuan Dynasty dominates the world. Even though there are various problems, overseas trade is still developing very well. The ships we have now are all old ones from the Yuan Dynasty, and there are too few new ones ourselves.
, especially large-scale ships, except for Fang Guozhen who has some, there are not many others. If you want to develop industry and commerce, transportation is a problem that must be solved. The volume of sea transportation is large and cheap, and the speed is not much slower than that of cattle and horses. This is the first priority
Development Matters.”
Jiang Nan also nodded and said: "Of course this is true, but building a ship is not easy! Have you ever thought about it? A sea-going ship worth ten thousand stones cannot be built at all without thousands of treasure coins. This doesn't count.
Can the Ministry of Revenue come up with so much money for the artillery and muskets attached to it?"
"We can't get it out!" Zhang Ximeng said simply: "Not only the Ministry of Revenue, but also the Taxation Department can't get it out, and the Zhongshu Province doesn't have any money either."
"Then, what should I do? It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, not to mention I'm not a clever woman!"
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money, just find someone with money."
"Who has money?" Jiang Nan said, "You don't want to get money from the Queen, do you?"
Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "The Queen is not considered a rich person. There is only one who is truly rich now!"
"who?"
"His Majesty!"
Is Lao Zhu rich?
have!
Not only that, there are many more!
Now Zhu Yuanzhang is covered in fat all over his body, the kind that is four fingers thick, which is scary.
The key is to find a way to cut it off from him.
What did Lao Zhu do these days? How many salt merchants were raided, how many salt merchants were sealed, corrupt officials punished, how much property was confiscated... Like Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng, their property was also confiscated.
How come that guy Li Shanchang is still here and has nothing to do with the world? His Zhongshu Province did not compete with Lao Zhu and handed over the money to Lao Zhu obediently.
Who gets the money and is unhappy?
Zhu Yuanzhang is not exempt from vulgarity.
Once you have money, you will have the confidence to use troops externally, rectify internal affairs, and even talk to the queen.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang had this consideration when he released the vicious dog Mao Xiang.
When it comes to making a fortune faster, what can beat a house raid?
After cutting off a hundred more heads, we can organize a large army and go to the grassland to hunt down Wang Baobao.
After all, the water in the court is deep!
The strong have their own ways of living, and the weak have their own schemes. The only thing that remains unchanged is the intrigues, which are non-stop. If you really think that someone is honest and useless, you don't care, and you will most likely suffer.
Li Shanchang is a master in this way. Like Yang Xian, Hu Weiyong, and Zhang Ximeng are too lazy to pay attention to them. When did they knock Li Shanchang down, I can still look at you with my little eyes!
No need to discuss the rest.
"Ms. sir, your majesty has money, but I'm afraid it's hard to take it out!" Jiang Nan felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was the kind of old rich man who would rather put his money in a jar. Taking money from his hand was no less than snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
Zhang Ximeng nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, there will be good shows in the palace."
Sure enough, on this day, the martial arts took a break and the three princes returned to the palace. Zhu Di called for the fifth, sixth and seventh children, as well as the two princesses and the children of the Zhu family, except for the nursing ones.
.
Looking at this large group of children, Lao Zhu also laughed heartily.
The Zhu family is flourishing and its descendants are prosperous. It is indeed God’s blessing!
Just when he was happy, Zhu Di, that naughty kid, suddenly let out a cry and burst into tears!
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, what happened?
Then Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan also wiped away tears.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more frightened, "What happened to you? Did you get into trouble in martial arts?"
Zhu Di cried and said: "Father! I am wronged! Look, Mr. Zhang gave Zhang Shuning 300,000 guan in one breath and asked him to help poor students and buy them books! 300,000 guan! Mr. Zhang
A minister has so much money!"
Zhu Feng also said aggrievedly: "Who says otherwise? The Queen Mother has already calculated that the property that can be given to us will not exceed 200,000 yuan per person!"
Zhu Fan even cried loudly, "It's only 200,000 yuan, and we have to raise troops and take care of the people! Father, my heart is in pain, I feel wronged! I can't do it!"
When the three elders cried like this, Lao Wu and the others didn't understand what was going on, so they just kept crying anyway! Each one was louder than the other, which made Zhu Yuanzhang dumbfounded and suddenly turned his head to look at Queen Ma.
"Sister, you, you should say something!"
Queen Ma spread her hands and said, "I don't have the ability to turn stone into gold, what can I do?"
