"That person just now, racking his brains in his words, was targeting the Qunying Chamber of Commerce."
"Actually, as long as you think about whether the Qunying Chamber of Commerce has touched the interests of those people, you can clearly understand who is behind this."
"The Qunying Chamber of Commerce was founded by me personally. Not many ministers in the court know about it, but only a first- and fifth-grade official, where can I get the news?"
"The person in question today is just an ant who was pushed out. There must be higher-level officials who are his cronies."
Zhu Ying said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, most of the officials breathed a sigh of relief, but the officials who were ranked higher than fifth grade suddenly became tense.
We are not a family, we do not enter the same family.
His Majesty, His Majesty, really has the same taste as His Majesty.
Zhu Ying looked at the reactions of the ministers and felt quite satisfied, so he worked hard to establish his position.
Seeing that the effect was almost there, he spoke again.
"The people who are most affected by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce are naturally businessmen. Jumping out in such a hurry is nothing more than tampering with the chamber of commerce's purse."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said in time: "Many of our Ming Dynasty ministers have been captured by businessmen's money. It seems that this strict investigation will still be carried out."
Today's morning session was really exciting.
Due to these twists and turns, some elderly ministers found it difficult to breathe.
Wave after wave, who can bear this?
However, Zhu Ying still stood up and said: "Grandpa, my grandson feels that there is no need to investigate for the time being, so as not to fall into the tricks of those businessmen and take advantage of this opportunity to do slanderous things, but it will be easy for them to fish in troubled waters."
"My grandson believes that there must be only a few ministers in the court who have been affected. Most of the ministers are very trustworthy and have dedicated their lives to our Ming Dynasty. If someone is innocent and is implicated, it will really be a pain for our Ming Dynasty."
Hearing this, any official of fifth rank or higher looked at His Highness Changsun and was truly moved.
It’s not easy, it’s really not easy!
After all these years, there is finally someone who understands them.
When serving as an official in front of His Majesty, even the several ministers are on tenterhooks and trembling all day long, fearing that something will happen and they will be implicated all at once.
There are no officials who are still in the court who are wise enough to protect themselves. Even gatherings of literati are avoided as much as possible.
On weekdays, I don't even dare to go to restaurants. If I have a banquet every now and then, I have to do it secretly.
Bitter! Really bitter!
The biggest dream of today's capital officials is to go abroad. Only by staying away from the capital can their wealth and life be guaranteed.
Even if he dies, he can at least die in a clear way.
At this time, a lot of eyes were focused on Zhu Yuanzhang. They didn't know whether His Majesty agreed or objected to His Highness Taisun's words.
Those who are able to reach the rank of fifth-rank official are generally not too young, but they don't want to lose their lives later in life and end up with the end of their lives.
The Jin Yiwei's rigorous investigations have always been filled with all kinds of slander. Even the upright minister can't escape unscathed.
After being imprisoned, few people can come out. Those who have really committed crimes can just plead guilty and temporarily drag a few daily rivals into the water. This kind of thing is not uncommon, and Jin Yiwei is also happy to arrest people.
Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will still have to shed your skin if you don't die.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Da Sun's words, he thought for a moment and remained silent for a long time.
When the ministers saw this situation, their hearts almost jumped into their throats.
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally spoke slowly: "The ministers in the imperial court are indeed quite hardworking. Compared with previous dynasties, they are considered very good. What Grand Sun said is somewhat reasonable."
"Let the Jin Yiwei investigate in detail from inside the capital. After finding out who is behind it, we must catch him."
"This matter ends here today, Zhan Hui."
When Zhan Hui heard this, his body trembled and he quickly stepped forward and said, "I'm here."
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "It seems that there is a big problem with your official department. Go back and check it out yourself. Can anyone else be bribed?"
"If you can't handle it, then let's ask Jin Yiwei to help you."
Zhan Hui quickly kowtowed and said, "I obey your order."
After the morning court, Zhu Ying followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the Huagai Hall to rest.
"Dasun, do you have any good ideas for the people behind this? They are so audacious that they dare to bribe even the ministers in the court and even die for them."
"It seems that many of our ministers are his cronies."
Zhu Yuanzhang said a little unhappy.
If we go forward, the Jin Yiwei will definitely investigate closely, but since Da Sun opened his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang did not need to kill someone by force.
Tomorrow is the day when the eldest grandson will be canonized. If we really want to get these courtiers, it won't be too late.
"I don't know where this person is from."
Zhu Ying asked after thinking for a moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally didn't remember so much, mainly because he was too young, so he turned his attention to Jiang Yu.
Of course Jiang Wei was familiar with him and said quickly: "Your Majesty, this person's hometown is from Hangzhou Prefecture in Zhejiang Province."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying immediately understood and said firmly: "It seems that the troublemakers behind this must be Zhejiang businessmen."
The status of merchants is very low, but in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, this is not the case.
Businessmen who have made money often seek transformation and let their children study and gain fame.
Since commerce in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been prosperous for a long time, it does not mean that the capital can control it just by lowering the status of merchants.
Behind it is a huge network of relationships.
To be honest, Zhu Ying was not surprised at all when an official came out to accuse the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were half-squinted. When it comes to businessmen, he would rather kill the wrong one than let him go. Nine out of ten businessmen are traitors, which is no joke.
"Over in Zhejiang, isn't the second brother here? It's time for him to give it some serious treatment. I don't believe what else these businessmen can do."
"At that time, we will test it in the court to see who is speaking for these Zhejiang merchants. They must be comrades."
When he heard that the old man was planning to ask Zhu Fan to rectify Zhejiang merchants, Zhu Ying knew the intensity involved.
Zhu Fan's character can be described as tyrannical. When he was in the capital, he was somewhat fearful, but when he was outside, it was completely different.
Obviously the old man knew it very well, but Zhu Ying had different ideas.
"Grandpa, my grandson thinks that the disappearance of a fifth-grade official is definitely a big blow to Zhejiang, but they did such a thing."
"If the official is bigger, the gain will outweigh the losses. If the official is small, people will speak lightly. The reason why we are targeting the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is to make the relationship between the Qunying Chamber of Commerce and Sun'er public."
"And Sun'er estimates that there must be other chambers of commerce behind this. A single Zhejiang merchant would probably not be willing to pay such a high price."
After hearing Da Sun's analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "How dare these businessmen dare to join forces to rebel?"
Zhu Ying shook his head and said: "That's not true. They only want to open a factory like the Qunying Chamber of Commerce."
"It's just that they don't want to pay such high wages, so that's why they want to use the power of public opinion to defeat the Qunying Chamber of Commerce."
"Businessmen pursue profits. They can easily calculate the profits of setting up large factories, especially in coastal areas. In the past, whether it was tea, porcelain, or silk, most of their sources were small workshops."
"The quantity produced by these small workshops is difficult to meet the demand. Now that large factories have opened, the manufacturing quantity will definitely increase significantly, and the price can also be reduced."
"The lower prices in the Ming Dynasty do not mean that the prices in maritime trade will decrease. Our products in the Ming Dynasty are sold overseas, and demand has always been in short supply."
"But if the government doesn't allow them to open large factories, they won't be able to make money, so they will naturally have to try their best to get a share of the pie."
Listening to Da Sun's detailed explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood the twists and turns in this business.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang reacted quickly and said with a smile: "It seems that Da Sun has already made a decision in his mind."
Zhu Ying replied: "Yes, their purpose, in fact, my grandson has already guessed it. Originally, when setting up the factory this time, I didn't expect that one family would be the only one. They wanted to really make the people of Ming Dynasty rich. Overall,
If the business economy is on the rise, many efforts will still be needed."
"There is actually a big difference between businessmen who set up factories and businessmen who run factories. Because the site is fixed, it is difficult for them to engage in speculative operations. Moreover, the investment in setting up a factory is not a small amount, and it will definitely attract many people to invest together.
"
"The so-called land waste is a complete joke. The current fertile land is not enough for planting, and the money is not in the hands of the people."
"On the contrary, the opening of factories can also create large-scale employment. Many refugees and beggars also have a way out. At least it is not a problem to make ends meet."
"If there is any famine caused by natural disasters, the pressure will not be on the people, but on these factory owners."
"In order to protect their own benefits, they can only try their best to protect those who do things for them."
"The government will also make it easy for them to attack them. When the time comes, they will issue a guarantee regulation that stipulates that when opening a large factory certificate, the minimum wage protection treaty must be observed, and the interests of the people will be protected."
Zhu Ying had been thinking about this plan for a long time.
Zhu Ying's purpose in governing business through business was to guide Ming Dynasty's commercial activities in the direction of industry.
Nowadays, many businessmen start their business by hoarding goods and speculating. This is entirely based on harming the interests of others.
In this regard, it is meaningless to rely solely on the government to control it. It is also easy to be corrupted and become a member of the money group to protect it.
Whether it is Zhejiang merchants, Hui merchants, or Shanxi merchants, behind these big businessmen, there are more or less people from the government.
At present, there is no way to avoid this.
People's livelihood economy has not been developed. These businessmen are sponsoring scholars to take exams behind the scenes, and then they join forces. It is too difficult to find out.
Only by driving things in a good direction can Ming's business get on the right track.
"With so many merchants, I don't know if Da Sun can fight against them. If there is any problem, I think there is no need to be taboo, and there is no need to be trapped by the merchant's frame. Anyone who blocks the way can be killed directly."
"It's just that we don't know much about this aspect. It's up to Da Sun to control it himself."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a hint of evil in his words.
In fact, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, killing is the fastest way, but now the internal funds, after absorbing the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, the money has become very considerable.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang does not need to compete with the Ministry of Revenue for money. All members of the entire palace have benefited from this.
Just like the concubines in the palace, the princes, grandsons, and even the maids and eunuchs, their lives have been improved.
"Grandpa, don't worry, these grandchildren will naturally save money. Next, when the military parade is over, the grandchildren will start selling their shares."
"With this incident, I think the number of shares that need to be purchased will be much higher."
"My grandson would also like to thank them for exposing their relationship with the Qunying Chamber of Commerce. This will make the sale easier."
Zhu Ying said with a smile.
Although the sudden appearance of the minister was not in Zhu Ying's plan, the overall direction did not change. Instead, it was a mistake and it became smoother.
With the prince's name and 500,000 guan of treasure per share, it would be much easier to sell it.
In Zhu Ying's mind, the buyers of these shares were not just the Huaixi Military General Xungui Group.
Speaking of which, although these noble groups seem to have quite a lot of money, they are still not enough compared to the chambers of commerce in various places.
It is Zhu Ying's goal to let those big chambers of commerce take joint shares.
The real routine only begins after buying shares.
There are too many financial routines in the past life. Even though Zhu Ying is not from the financial circle, there should not be too many financial stories.
If you buy a stock, you are in a trap, not to mention that Zhu Ying still controls the Baochao Promotion Department.
The shares of these chambers of commerce can be diluted in minutes.
For example, during the second round of financing, tens of millions of banknotes were poured in. It didn’t matter how much money was printed anyway, but the shares in these factories did not need to be circulated.
It's not easy to kill them.
At this time, a Jinyi guard came outside the door, and Jiang Wei quickly went out to receive intelligence information.
Later, Jiang Yu reported: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, news came from the Jinyiwei Yamen that Gao Yong, who was previously caught disturbing the security of the capital, was poisoned to death in the imperial prison."
Zhu Yuanzhang scolded: "You are so bold. I never thought that these businessmen could even get involved in the Jinyiwei Yamen. There is nothing else they dare not do."
Zhu Ying also frowned and said, "Who poisoned me, have you found out?"
Jiang Wei replied: "Reporting to your majesty, your highness, the Jin Yiwei who poisoned me has also died from the poison."
Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry.
It doesn't matter if the ministers in the court are bribed. The Jinyiwei Yamen is his personal bodyguard. Anyone selected must have an innocent background.
Now, even the Jinyiwei Yamen has made mistakes. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Jiang Wei with strong dissatisfaction.
Jiang Wei's back was soaked with cold sweat.
After Zhu Ying pondered for a while, he said: "It seems that Gao Yong knows a lot, and the people behind him are anxious."
"Immediately seal the imperial prison, including all the jailers, and then arrange for the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to go to the imperial prison to treat Gao Yong."
Hearing this, Jiang Wei could only say: "Your Highness, Gao Yong has been completely poisoned into his bone marrow and is completely dead. The poison in his hands is so heavy that he may not be able to be revived."
Zhu Yingdao: "The Jin Yiwei is hereditary, and it must cost a huge price to bribe the Jin Yiwei. Now the news that Gao Yong was poisoned has not been spread, so the news has been blocked."
"As the personal guards of the palace, the Jinyi Guards are extremely important and cannot make any mistakes. Now we will use Gao Yong to spread the news of rescue and survival and see if we can catch a few more fish."
"As for the Jin Yiwei who committed suicide by poisoning, he told the outside world that he was caught poisoning and died by poisoning. I want to see if people outside can hold back after hearing this news."
Jiang Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was still worried about losing His Majesty's trust. If there was an internal review by Jinyiwei, it would be a big shock.
Now that His Highness Changsun has come up with the solution, not to mention atoning for his sins, he can at least restore some good impression.
