Chapter 294 On the eve of the canonization, the candidate for the grandson concubine (please vote for me and subscribe)
Zhu Di's face suddenly turned dark.
All the fantasies just now were ruthlessly extinguished by Li Jinglong's words.
I originally thought that Zhu Ying made a wrong move, but it turned out to be a wonderful move.
However, he still couldn't figure out why everyone had to fight for 500,000 yuan per share, even Li Jinglong wanted to buy it.
Five hundred thousand guan banknotes, what is this concept?
On average, one soldier now has about three swords per month.
Ten thousand soldiers, only thirty thousand guan per month.
Five hundred thousand guan banknotes were enough to support the Ming army for a long time, and this was only one-tenth of the shares in one of the five factories run by Zhu Ying.
According to this calculation, the first factory is 5 million Guan, and the fifth factory is 25 million Ming Dynasty treasure notes.
This is completely the total annual income of Ming Dynasty in recent years.
Too exaggerated, too exaggerated!
This, according to Li Jinglong, seems to be very simple.
Zhu Di didn't care about money or businessmen.
But when money reaches a certain level, it can affect the rise and fall of a dynasty.
Forcibly calming down the shock in his heart, Zhu Di's tone was trembling at the beginning: "Can you please Jinglong tell me how your Highness Changsun did this?"
To be honest, this was the first time that Zhu Di was really frightened by Zhu Ying.
The wealth of 25 million yuan was so outrageous that Zhu Di felt like he was listening to a fairy tale and couldn't believe it.
Hearing this, Li Jinglong sighed: "To be honest, people like His Highness Changsun are geniuses that I have never heard of in the business world. Such a handiwork, even by Shen Wansan, who was once known as the cornucopia, is
A small witch sees a big witch.”
"It feels like turning your hands into clouds and turning your hands into rain. I don't know what will happen to the Ming Dynasty in the future under the leadership of His Highness Changsun. I have a feeling that this time will not be too long."
After Li Jinglong finished speaking, he took out a booklet and handed it to Zhu Di: "Cousin, this is the booklet that His Highness Changsun took out at the Duke of Liang's Mansion. It perfectly records the overall scale of the five factories.
"
"There are also future development directions, and the revenue situation that may already be achieved. After reading this, I think the figures in the table will fully understand what my nephew just said."
Zhu Di took the booklet doubtfully and began to read it.
As for the booklet Zhu Ying took out at Liangguo Duke's Mansion, why did it appear in Li Jinglong's hands in less than two hours?
This is actually Zhu Ying's arrangement.
Whether it is Lan Yu, Cao Zhen, Wang Bi and others, they are all warriors.
I don’t say that I am illiterate, but I can really count the days when I really studied with my fingers. Now that I am in a high position, I am pursuing my favorite things, so how can I really concentrate on studying.
For example, Wang Bi is doing well since he doesn't soak in drinks all day long.
After fighting for a lifetime, now that the Ming Dynasty has been founded, it is of course a time to enjoy it.
Once these booklets came into their hands, they were handed over to the people below as soon as possible.
In addition to the contents of the booklet, those who can understand it are naturally businessmen who are literate. In the circle of businessmen, such big things must be similar.
As a member of the Grand Governor's Mansion, Li Jinglong naturally knew that several governors went to the Duke of Liang's Mansion to attend a dinner to welcome His Highness Changsun.
Driven by curiosity, she will also inquire about relevant news. At this point, Zhu Ying has no intention of blocking the news, and even secretly speeds up its dissemination.
Only eight copies of the booklet appeared. However, less than an hour after Zhu Ying left, there were probably a hundred and eighty copies of the original booklet on the market.
As for whether the book in Li Jinglong's hand came out from the hands of the uncles who attended the dinner, it is a matter of opinion and wisdom.
Zhu Di finished reading with a look of confusion and shock on his face.
In fact, Zhu Di still has some literary skills. After all, he is taught by famous teachers. But when he was a child, he liked to fall asleep during lectures or skipped classes.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang was fighting in wars and always lived in the military camp, so the literature aspect was relatively weak.
If you understand it, you can understand it, but if you understand it, it is a bit difficult.
However, after reading the description of future profits at the back of the booklet, Zhu Di felt the urge to invest in it.
There were a lot of crowd positioning analysis, market environment analysis, and various data in front of him, which gave Zhu Di a feeling of superiority.
And if you think about certain data carefully, it seems that it is really the case.
In this way, the subsequent profit situation will appear very real.
"Cousin, I can see clearly that His Highness Changsun is really amazing." Li Jinglong saw Zhu Di closing the book and asked without thinking much.
Zhu Di's face stiffened for a moment. Could he say he didn't understand?
That designation was impossible, so I could only sigh: "Earlier when I was in Peking, the first time I came into contact with my eldest nephew, I felt it was very extraordinary. Now that I think about it, everything seems to be natural for the current situation.
"
"My eldest nephew's achievements in business are not only achieved by me, but also by no one in the past hundred years. Such a miraculous way may leave a strong mark in the history books."
"This money is very important to the Ming Dynasty and to all soldiers. The most important thing is that the source of this money is not from the hands of the common people, but from the hands of businessmen, landlords and gentry."
Zhu Di's own wisdom is very high, not only in the military aspect. After a short period of thinking, he understood the powerful relationship between the two.
The Qunying Chamber of Commerce belongs to Zhu Ying, and this money will naturally flow into Zhu Ying's pocket. With Zhu Ying's current status, it is obvious that such a large sum of money will naturally become the income of the Ming Dynasty's internal funds.
Li Jinglong nodded in agreement. The best thing about His Highness Changsun is that the money does not involve the interests of the people at all.
It seems simple, but only those who truly understand it will understand how difficult it is.
Today, from top to bottom, even the annual income of the Ming Dynasty's treasury comes from the people at the grassroots level.
This is true even for landlords and gentry, official salaries, border military pay, and annual revenue from the treasury.
Those businessmen who have made a fortune are hoarding goods and speculating.
In comparison, it is very valuable.
Whether it is Li Jinglong or Zhu Di, they can be said to be the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty. From their perspective, things are naturally completely different.
"Tomorrow is the military parade. What does Jinglong know about military parades? I heard from my eldest son Gao Chi that it seems that the army entered the city yesterday and the soldiers of the capital guard made a big difference to the people."
Zhu Di turned around and said that he no longer wanted to talk about money. Compared with business, he was more interested in the military.
Hearing this, Li Jinglong's expression began to become solemn.
After pondering for a while, he said: "These soldiers have changed so much that I don't even know how to describe them. Cousin, don't worry, you can see them in the military parade tomorrow."
"This military parade was a huge shock to the people of the capital, the foreign ministers who came to the capital, and the ministers in the court."
"Soldiers with such strict military discipline seem to have stepped out of the art of war. Every move they make is a deterrent."
Li Jinglong thought of the army he saw with his own eyes yesterday.
The orderly formation, the unswerving eyes, each person is like a walking sculpture, and the oncoming impact, no army in the world can compete with it.
When Zhu Di heard this, he fell silent, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he could guess from Li Jinglong's expression that the army trained by Zhu Ying was definitely very powerful.
It is not that Li Jinglong has never seen the world, he has traveled to Huguang, Shaanxi, Henan and other places many times for military training.
He is very familiar with the military and has made many contributions.
To be able to make him exclaim like this shows how terrifying the army trained by Zhu Ying is.
Zhu Di picked up the tea cup, his eyes twinkling.
All this will naturally be known tomorrow.
The sun sets, the moon shines, and the lights of thousands of houses in the capital.
At this time, in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was drinking tea and talking with Concubine Ning.
"Our eldest grandson really has the talent to help the world, and the virtue of using things to benefit people. The establishment of these five factories will not only relieve the shortage of internal funds, but also be of great help to the national treasury."
"Recently, the palace's expenses have been raised three levels in a row. In this regard, Concubine Ning has to thank her eldest grandson."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile. Opposite him, on Concubine Ning's desk, was a promotional brochure for the factory run by Zhu Ying.
At this time, Concubine Ning had finished reading, and her eyes were already full of brilliance. When she heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, she couldn't help but said: "The achievements of that kid Xiongying in the business world are really amazing."
"From my perspective, this is no longer just a simple transaction, it involves more of the foundation of my Ming Dynasty."
"Such a good child has been living abroad for ten years. Now that I think about it, it is a pity. If he had returned to the palace earlier, he might have been much better off."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "This is not necessarily true. For a talent like my grandson, the palace is like a cage, restricting his development. During our journey along the way, we have read all the rivers and measured the mountains."
"That's all, it's useless to talk about it now. We are back after all. In our old age, we are satisfied to have our eldest grandson by our side."
After hearing this, Concubine Ning also nodded slightly.
As for Your Majesty, Concubine Ning has been with you all these years and understands every aspect of your life very well.
In His Majesty's heart, she certainly does not have the same status as Sister Ma, and she has no say in some court matters.
But now that Concubine Ning is in charge of the harem, she is still more concerned about Zhu Ying's marriage.
Tomorrow is the grandson's canonization ceremony. I came here tonight just to talk to His Majesty about the grandson's concubine.
Seeing that the timing was close, Concubine Ning said: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, this child Xiongying was born on October 27th in the seventh year of Hongwu. He must be eighteen years old now."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes, speaking of this matter, my eldest grandson deceived us earlier, saying he was twenty, haha."
This reminded Zhu Yuanzhang of the time when he first met Da Sun at Ping'an Tea House.
I can’t say we know each other, it was the first time we met after ten years.
At that time, he was still skeptical and tried to test the birth date of his eldest grandson, but the result showed that he was twenty years old, a difference of two years, which made him think that he had mistaken the wrong person.
Thinking of all the past acquaintances, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile.
"Your Majesty, Xiongying is already eighteen, and tomorrow will be his grandson. I think it's time to decide on a candidate for the grandson."
"As the saying goes, starting a family and establishing a career to bring peace to the world is the first priority. Your Majesty, don't you want to have a great-grandson?"
Concubine Ning said softly.
There is nothing much going on on weekdays. Concubine Ning wants to pay close attention to the marriages of the princes and grandsons of various families.
As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog.
In this regard, Concubine Ning also hopes that the old Zhu family can be prosperous and have hundreds of descendants.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded in agreement and asked, "Is there anyone you like, my concubine? Why don't you tell me and listen."
"It's just that after this person is decided, we still have to talk to Da Sun, or let him see if he is satisfied."
"My beloved concubine may not be aware of Dasun's character. He's like us and stubborn. There are some things that even we can't decide on for him."
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little helpless.
In fact, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, no matter who he is, even the former eldest sister, can only comfort him, let alone the prince Zhu Biao. If he is disobedient, he will be a filial son.
But when it comes to Dasun, it's completely different.
Now that he is getting older, he loves his eldest grandson the most. If his eldest grandson complains about something, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to eat or sleep.
After listening to His Majesty's instructions, Concubine Ning immediately became more aware of Zhu Ying's position in His Majesty's heart.
The so-called parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.
His Majesty also takes this matter very seriously, and now that he has arrived at Zhu Ying's place, he has made an exception for himself.
After thinking about it for a while, I changed my mind about what I wanted to say, and said instead: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to make any mess about Xiongying's marriage, just for fear of being complained by Xiongying."
"Earlier, I also sent someone to inquire about some information. The King of Zhongshan has a daughter named Xu Miaojin, who has just reached the age of leaving the court."
"Before Xiongying entered the palace, he and his eldest son, Gao Chi, had traveled together in Qinhuai, and they got along quite well."
Speaking of this, Concubine Ning showed a bit of regret on her face and said, "It's just that this daughter of the Xu family is a little too naughty. Something like that happened some time ago. Although it was nothing serious, it somewhat damaged her reputation."
"Such an out-of-touch character is not dignified and virtuous enough. If you become the mother of the country in the future, I feel that it is still a little bit worse."
Zhu Yuanzhang also quite agreed.
In his opinion, the person who can serve as the eldest grandson's concubine should be as good in the hall and the kitchen as the eldest sister.
Even to a large extent, it can relieve the husband's worries, and the woman can also block half of the sky.
It's just that in today's world, such a woman is very difficult to find.
As he was thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of one person, that is Ye Yueqing, who often accompanied his eldest grandson.
So he asked Concubine Ning: "I wonder if the woman who is following our eldest grandson has an impression on Concubine Ning."
"We think that woman is pretty good. She may be from a humble background, but she can help the eldest grandson in all aspects. She has some similarities with the eldest sister's style of dealing with things."
Concubine Ning knew clearly that she had actually inquired about Ye Yueqing for a long time, and even knew everything about Princess Zhao Xiangxi of Goryeo.
Although she is not a queen, Concubine Ning now controls the harem and actually has the power of a queen. This information can still be found easily.
Zhu Ying didn't keep a tight lid on this aspect.
So Concubine Ning came here just to see His Majesty's attitude towards Ye Yueqing.
Seeing that His Majesty took the lead in raising the issue, it was easier for Concubine Ning to speak.
"This woman has good appearance and clear features. She must have been born into a scholarly family. Perhaps she just fell into decline."
"Although she is not very pretty, she still has her charming features. When I look at it, I really can't dislike it, but I also like it very much in my heart."
"In addition, Yue Qing is always by Xiong Ying's side, so she must be an effective assistant. If Your Majesty thinks it's good, I think it's better to settle on this girl."
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also felt that this was the truth. After thinking about it, he said: "We think it is okay. It is the Grand Sun Ceremony tomorrow to worship ancestors and heaven."
"Let's see, if we don't let this girl go with us, we can settle the relationship first. Anyway, it will be a matter of time."
"If it were her, there would be no need to tell Dasun anything in advance, just treat it as a surprise."
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly looked sad: "Our eldest grandson is good at everything, so why can't he be a womanizer? He behaves like a monk all day long, either studying firearms or military art, or reading ancient books and articles."
"We used to be monks, but they were fake monks."
"Our eldest grandson has never been a monk, but he is a real monk. In this life, one great-grandson is not enough. There must be seventy or eighty."
"There are a lot of people at your feet shouting "Great Grandpa", that's how you can live in peace for eternity."
In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang was very troubled.
When he was checking Zhu Ying's details, he thought it was very possible to find out a great-grandson.
He also asked Jin Yiwei to see if the eldest grandson had interacted with those women and had given birth to children.
After all, the eldest grandson is already eighteen. Normally, a sixteen-year-old man is considered a legitimate child.
If others don't get married, they won't be able to find a good woman.
The eldest grandson gathers himself and his eldest sister, the eldest son's strengths.
He was born with handsome features and dignified appearance. In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, he was no more generous than Li Jinglong.
He is quite wealthy, and although he is a businessman, his status is not low in places like the Western Region.
Even if he got a few foreigners, Zhu Yuanzhang would not mind it. At most, he would not be a direct descendant, and he would still be a great-grandson.
Who would have thought that now there is not even one, which is really heartbreaking.
Concubine Ning listened to her majesty's complaint and couldn't help but hide her face and smile, and then said: "Your majesty, please don't worry. I think I have never tasted the taste of Xiongying. If I had tasted it, he would be as powerful as he is now."
With his strength, many girls from Ye Yu can’t be compared.”
"By then, I'm afraid I won't even be able to hug your majesty's great-grandson."
After listening to Concubine Ning's words, Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed.
After chatting for a while, Concubine Ning resigned and left the palace.
She is now in her fifties. She is old and beautiful, and she will not be able to sleep with her.
After Concubine Ning left, the moon was shining brightly, and Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the grandson's canonization tomorrow and the grand military parade to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
I can't sleep a little bit.
I originally wanted to go to the Kunning Palace in the back to see my eldest grandson, but I was afraid of disturbing my eldest grandson.
After thinking about it for a while, he told Liu He: "Inform the harem and ask Beauty Zhang to come over and sleep with you today."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had a whim.
My eldest grandson is going to give us a great-grandson this year.
Now that we are still young, why not give birth to a playmate for our future great-grandson.
