When a country enters a period of rapid development, it will find that there are too many places to spend money.
Even now, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce has such a large scale that it is hard to describe how much money it makes every day. But with a little planning, the money will be gone.
Ruth took one step at a time and took one bite at a time.
In the current situation of Ming Dynasty, we can only gradually accumulate strength first.
Fortunately, for now, Zhu Ying has achieved great success in terms of political reform.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless to find that since he appointed Da Sun Jianguo, he seemed to have become more relaxed.
Not only am I not tired, I feel like I have more free time every day than I do.
We went together in the morning.
It took about two sticks of incense and it was almost over.
After deciding on the direction of development, there is no need for the few ministers to always come to Huagai Hall to discuss this or that, no matter how big the matter is. It is completely under their own control.
Dasun's job here is to see the progress and effects of completion, listen to reports, and get an overview.
When I was taking a walk, my eldest grandson was following me.
When I was playing with my great-grandson, my eldest grandson also followed me.
When he went fishing in Xuanwu Lake, Dasun was still with him.
"Grandson, do you look like a supervising grandson?"
During dinner, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but speak.
Zhu Ying was holding a large piece of braised pork in his mouth. He swallowed it in several mouthfuls after hearing these words, and then replied: "Grandpa, haven't I been supervising the country?"
"I haven't had much to do lately, so I'll spend more time with you."
Zhu Yuanzhang paused and didn't know what to say.
He could only nod helplessly and said: "Okay, it's up to you. Anyway, we feel pretty good now, so we don't need to worry too much about these troublesome things."
Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang paused slightly and said, "However, we think you should take care of some things by yourself. It's none of your business to have such free time."
"The people below didn't tell you, but we got the news here. Businessmen always have to pursue profits in their hearts. No matter how much they get, they still want more, just like rolling eyes when they can't get enough.
Like a wolf."
"We usually tell you to have more contact with those civil servants. Grandson, you always feel that it is not necessary. Just do things properly. But when we do the emperor's business, we can't rely too much on our own preferences."
"Even if civil servants have some bad habits, sometimes their thoughts are very pure. Even if some things are thankless, they will work hard."
"For ideals and ambitions."
"For businessmen, it's completely different. In their eyes, they only have profits."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying frowned.
Putting down the Kuaizi in his hand, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. After a while, he asked, "Grandpa, is there something wrong with my grandson's chamber of commerce?"
Zhu Yuanzhang also put down his bowl and said quickly: "The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds."
"In the past, when you were in the Western Region, even though the people under your control had the same purpose, but now that your status is different, your purpose is naturally different."
"Perhaps some fished in troubled waters, or maybe some people changed their minds."
Zhu Ying nodded lightly and said, "My grandson understands."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "As long as you understand, come and eat."
.......
Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
This once existed in one place in the Western Region, like a country.
Since Zhu Ying became the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, it has expanded even more.
With the capital as the center, with Zhu Ying's permission, it quickly began to radiate to the entire Ming Dynasty.
Today's Qunying Chamber of Commerce, also known as Taisun Chamber of Commerce, has its presence in all walks of life.
It ranges from firewood, rice, oil and salt to weapons, warships and firearms.
There are also factories that are constantly being built, almost all of which are led by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce that Zhu Ying was able to mobilize the economy so easily and everything went smoothly.
But as Zhu Yuanzhang said, when the forest is big, there will be all kinds of birds.
In some invisible corners, there will eventually be those who break the rules.
Human nature.
No matter when it is, in what era, how many people can withstand the test.
"Uncle Zhang, I called you here today because I want to know how well everything is going in the current Chamber of Commerce."
The main hall of Kunning Palace,
Ye Yueqing sat next to him, and Zhu Ying sat next to him.
Uncle Zhang is on the left seat.
After the morning court the next day, Zhu Ying immediately arranged for Uncle Zhang to come to the palace.
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he replied strangely: "Your Highness, everything is fine. Although this year has just begun, the profits from the sea trade are already very considerable."
"It is expected to be even more prosperous than last year."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying looked at Uncle Zhang seriously and said after a while: "It seems that you don't know either."
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he felt confused.
Zhu Ying also took out a document from her arms and motioned to Guo Zhong, who was standing next to her, to send it over.
After Zhang Bo took it, he opened it and checked it.
This didn't seem to matter, and the more I looked at it, the more scared I became, and my hands even started to tremble a little.
"How dare they, how dare they."
"These beasts were able to work so hard when they had no food to eat. Now that they have no worries about food and drink, they actually start to do these things."
"It's only been two years, two years!"
"It's actually reached this level!"
Uncle Zhang's tone was full of sorrow and sorrow.
Zhu Ying's expression was calm. She turned around and looked at Ye Yueqing, only to see Ye Yueqing nod slightly.
This cannot be blamed on Zhu Ying. The main reason is that the eucalyptus book I took from the old man has some unimaginable ingredients, so no one can trust Zhu Ying now.
The incident at the Qunying Chamber of Commerce was also a very big blow to Zhu Ying now.
In the eucalyptus records, it is recorded that a large number of people from the Elite Chamber of Commerce colluded with the local government and made a lot of illegal profits.
Robbery and robbery are commonplace.
A large number of fields, houses, and land deeds that originally belonged to the common people were purchased at extremely low prices, and then transferred to the chamber of commerce at normal prices.
The money here is an extremely huge amount.
Just a rough estimate, there are already eight to nine million treasure notes.
Moreover, this was only detected by some Jin Yiwei.
There are only so many people in Jinyiwei, even if they come from various places, there won't be many people, but even so, a large number of cases were found.
The most important thing is that none of these files have entered the archives.
This means that none of the persecuted common people, even the landlords and gentry, choose to report the crime.
is it possible.
Of course this is impossible.
The fact is that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce colluded with the local government and even the Department of Public Security to directly suppress the matter.
Even if he petitions, there is no way out.
The Qunying Chamber of Commerce transports a large amount of goods through various inns for a long time, so it has a very close relationship with the inns.
Whenever something is suspected of involving the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, these stations will directly detain the person and then notify the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
Due to the special nature of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Ying allowed it to have guards.
And these guards took the person back directly.
Needless to say, the results are natural.
A series of other incidents including murder, forcing girls into prostitution, etc. are also recorded by various parties.
"I didn't expect that it was me who cultivated an evil tiger."
Zhu Ying said with some sigh.
Then he said to Uncle Zhang: "Have Uncle Zhang ever heard of this matter?"
"Or maybe, in some respects, Uncle Zhang also used his power to interfere with government offices."
When Uncle Zhang heard this, sweat appeared on his forehead.
He quickly stood up from his seat, then knelt down in front of Zhu Ying and said, "Old slave, I have indeed done something."
"Some children made mistakes, and the old slave couldn't bear to use the family law to punish them, so he went to the Yamen to say a few good words."
"Others have always followed His Highness, so they canceled the help of Eucalyptus."
Zhu Ying asked calmly: "How many times."
Uncle Zhang immediately replied: "Report to Your Highness, eight times."
Zhu Ying said: "Replying so quickly, are you sure it's only eight times?"
Uncle Zhang replied with some fear and sigh: "I remember clearly every time. It was eight times."
Hear this.
Zhu Ying swallowed her words when she wanted to speak.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.
Speaking of these bad rules, Zhu Ying has also done quite a lot.
At this time, Zhu Yingcai thought of a question.
Whoever worked hard with him was a kind person, and who didn't have many lives in his hands.
To a certain extent, I can be considered clean now.
He suddenly became the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
Naturally, some things from the past cannot be involved.
Maybe it's because of trust that some problems are always ignored subconsciously.
In fact, the spearhead had been revealed earlier, but after some review, Zhu Ying did not take it seriously and was only asked to carry out an internal investigation.
I didn't expect the mess to be so big now.
According to Zhu Ying's current conservative estimate, the money flowing through the Qunying Chamber of Commerce has reached tens of millions of treasures.
Tens of millions.
What is this concept?
Even before Zhu Yuanzhang, when the Ming Dynasty's treasury was tight, it only used 10 million to 20 million treasure notes a year to close some gaps.
And here I am.
In just two years, tens of millions of treasure notes have passed away.
Money is one aspect, but there are also the persecuted common people, even landlords, gentry, and literati.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying turned to look at Ye Yueqing.
After Ye Yueqing hesitated for a moment, she still shook her head gently.
Zhu Ying understood the meaning here very well.
He is pleading for Uncle Zhang.
Zhu Ying sighed a little in her heart.
That's how people are. When the people around them are not involved, they just ignore it and ignore it.
It's different when it really involves the people around you.
Although Uncle Zhang was not among the first to follow Zhu Ying, he was the one who stayed with her the longest.
They were once illiterate and didn't even understand Chinese very well. It can be said that Zhu Ying brought them here step by step.
At the beginning, there were not twenty or thirty people on Uncle Zhang's side, but more than a hundred people.
Doing business in a place like the border is no different than having your head stuck to your trousers.
Especially smuggling.
Fighting is the norm.
It is even more common for several people to die.
Zhu Ying's personal force value is very high, otherwise there would not be such a large group of heroes.
But he is not immortal.
It will hurt if someone cuts you off, and you will feel hungry if you don't eat.
If dozens of people really cooperated to surround and kill him, they would also die.
It's nothing more than having greater strength, greater endurance, and better resilience.
That's why Zhu Ying trusted Uncle Zhang so much.
Because there were so many crises that Uncle Zhang's people had to pay for with their lives.
And a lot of money was saved by Zhangbo people with their lives.
Judging from the current situation.
Uncle Zhang has already violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
And it was the law set by Zhu Ying.
The eight times Uncle Zhang said were indeed only eight times.
The Imperial Guards of the Capital are not just for free. After being deployed in the Capital for so many years, they have already reached a very advanced level.
This is also the trump card in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.
Although Jin Yiwei is currently under the jurisdiction of Zhu Yuanzhang and his eldest grandson, when it comes to some deeper things in Jin Yiwei, Zhu Ying has not asked him to join forces with the intelligence department of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
For example, the former deaf-mute Jinyiwei had their treatment improved a bit, and then they were still under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei.
This is another preparation Zhu Ying made.
This is to prevent similar things like today.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, His Highness the Grand Sun was trying to avoid suspicion.
After all, His Majesty has delegated a lot of power to His Highness the Grand Sun.
"Don't do these things in the future. If you do, you will only spoil them."
"If you make a mistake, you should find a way to make them correct it instead of helping them fix it."
Zhu Ying's words were equivalent to finalizing Uncle Zhang's violations.
To put it simply, there will be no investigation.
Uncle Zhang also understood and kowtowed: "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness. I am ashamed of myself."
Zhu Ying said: "Get up and sit down. It's still a bit cold in April, so don't let your health get bad."
Uncle Zhang stood up after hearing this, but he did not sit on his seat, but stood respectfully.
Zhu Ying said nothing more about this.
Then he said: "Currently, there are huge problems in the Chamber of Commerce. There are too many greedy people, and the money swallowed up is also extremely huge. It may be more than we imagined."
"I have already asked Yue Qing about the intelligence, and there is nothing similar."
"This is enough to show that there is also a problem in the Intelligence Department of the Capital Chamber of Commerce."
"I understand that we are hiding from each other. However, understanding is understanding, and what needs to be dealt with still needs to be dealt with. If you really let it go like this, you will be in trouble in the future."
"But it's too difficult to investigate thoroughly."
"I thought about it carefully and found that the problem here mainly lies in the particularity of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Having my brand name and not having any specific rank makes many officials unavoidably afraid of me. Some greedy officials even use their cooperation and collusion as protection."
"So I decided to let the Qunying Chamber of Commerce no longer use the name of the Chamber of Commerce, but merge it into the rank of the Ming Dynasty."
