After coming out of the princess's mansion, Kangxi led Yuzhu and Liang Jiugong to the street.
Yuzhu could tell that Kangxi was very familiar with the streets of the inner city.
While walking, Kangxi suddenly asked Yuzhu: "How does it compare to Bianliang in Tokyo?"
Yuzhu sighed deliberately and said: "A place to play is far worse than this!"
Kangxi was a man who read history books, so he naturally understood that Yuzhu refers to the fact that there are many tile houses in Bianliang, but in Sijiu City, you can only juggle on the overpass, which is far different in scale.
The tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty spent 80% of their taxes on raising an army of over one million people, but they gradually could no longer afford it.
The Qing Dynasty, with a population of over 100 million, could no longer afford to maintain approximately 700,000 soldiers.
Kangxi deliberately asked Yuzhu, seemingly to compare the street scene in Bianliang, Tokyo, but in fact, he was asking about financial constraints.
Yuzhu supervised the Guangdong Customs and Chongwenmen, and the money he brought in was at most enough for the emperor to have enough money to spend, but it did not solve the problem of the emptiness of the treasury.
Among Kangxi's important ministers, none could handle money well.
Fortunately, Yuzhu is a special case, which makes him very happy. I also have talents under my banner!
"You are already eighteen years old and still have no children. You will be on a southern tour next month, and I allow you to bring your wife with you." As soon as Kangxi said these words, Yuzhu immediately became vigilant.
Around Yuzhu, no more, no less, there happened to be only one wife, one concubine and three maids.
"Thank you for your kindness." Yuzhu couldn't salute in the street, so he had to say thank you in a low voice.
Tired of walking on the street, Kangxi casually entered a teahouse, found a seat by the window, and sat down.
Shops are not allowed in the inner city, but teahouses are not prohibited.
"If we build a shop in the inner city, how much money can we get per year?" Kangxi looked at the street scene for a while, then suddenly turned to ask Yuzhu.
Yuzhu thought to himself that all the people living in the inner city were bannermen. Although the number of bannermen was not large, there were only less than 300,000.
However, these 300,000 people are all high-consumption groups with hard-core crops.
To put it bluntly, the consumption power of inner-city bannermen is definitely much higher than that of London, England, and Paris, France at the same time.
"Three strategies: top, middle and bottom. Top strategy, if you allow me to set up my own foreign goods factory and allow foreign businessmen to do business in Tianjin, I will have an income of 20 million taels a year. Zhong strategy, shops in the inner city
, if they are all converted into chain stores, they will definitely earn about two million taels of silver a year. The next best option is to collect the city gate tax. The income will be very limited, about two hundred thousand taels."
Yuzhu's words immediately made Kangxi laugh.
Kangxi pointed to Yuzhu's nose, tapped it twice, and asked him: "What does a chain store mean?"
Yuzhu explained the business model of chain supermarkets in detail.
After Kangxi understood, he stroked his white beard and said: "According to what you said, doesn't it mean that you can buy department stores in one shop?"
"Exactly." Yuzhu carefully analyzed the convenience of the supermarket, "Think about it, in one shop, you can buy soy sauce and vinegar tea, rice and noodles, as well as silk, satin and
Cloth, how convenient?”
Yuzhu had many minor problems. Not only was he lazy, but he also liked to quarrel with Kangxi.
However, Yijun covers up all the ugly things. He is really a master at managing money and making money.
To put it bluntly, Kangxi had never heard of the chain store name Yuzhu mentioned.
"Then prepare a strategy. When the Southern Tour comes, we will start to do it." Kangxi's reaction was already expected by Yuzhu.
When the head of the empire makes decisions, out of considerations of safety, it is almost impossible to choose the best policy, and most of them end up with the middle policy.
Yuzhu's idea was definitely to build a steel factory, a gunpowder factory, a shipyard, and a textile factory.
However, this is a big deal, so you can't rush it, you can only do it slowly.
I'm impatient and can't eat hot tofu!
After Kangxi returned to the palace, Yuzhu did not return to the palace, but went to Sun Chengyun's place.
When Yuzhu arrived, everyone was waiting for him in the inner study of Sun Mansion.
"Please be safe, Mr. Zhu." Wendena, who was sitting at the door, saluted with a smile on his face.
"Meet Mr. Zhu." Liu Kan's life has been very difficult recently, so he was naturally extremely happy when he saw Yu Zhu.
"Meet Mr. Zhu." Zhao Donghe had already figured it out and no longer dared to claim to be his senior brother.
"Brother, I miss you so much." Sun Chengyun rushed over, hugged Yuzhu's shoulders, and shook him hard several times.
Yuzhu hugged Sun Chengyun with his backhand and said with a smile: "You just want to have a meal with me, right?"
Sun Chengyun laughed and said, "When you are not in the capital, I always go to get some food."
He was the godson recognized by Long Keduo. When Yuzhu was not in the capital, he always went to chat with Li Si'er, which was a kind of help to fulfill his filial piety.
It is normal for people to go away to enjoy the coolness of tea and to go away from politics!
As soon as Yuzhu left, the new Chongwenmen Supervisor became critical and pushed Sun Chengyun and Liu Kan out of the Yamen.
As for Wendena, because he was a pen-sticker of Santang and a confidant of Yuzhu, he was deliberately found in the wrong place and had his head removed.
After Yuzhu returned to Beijing, he directly asked the old emperor for full personnel authority in the yamen.
Therefore, Wendena not only returned to the third hall, but was also promoted to the seventh grade pen post style.
In layman's terms, this is the county-level secretariat!
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
If one person is unlucky, the whole faction will suffer together. This is the reality.
Everyone sat around Yuzhu, drinking tea and explaining the current situation.
In fact, Yuzhu had already expected that everyone would lose power once he left.
However, in small matters, he could stand up to the old emperor, but in big matters, he had to listen to his instructions.
There are still more than ten years before the mountain tomb collapses. The hilltop raised by the jade pillars has few people and weak strength, so it must be at the mercy of the old emperor.
However, the characteristic of Yuzhu is that if you want him to come forward to make money and do things, no problem, he will have full power.
In this era, it was a time of talking. Yuzhu was playing tricks and talking about conditions. Not only was the old emperor not bored, but he found it interesting.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yuzhu has come back, and Sun Chengyun and Liu Kan must have been restored to their original positions.
However, when Yuzhu was still on the road, he heard that Zhao Donghe's position was not very stable.
A villain like Zhao Donghe cannot be left behind and cannot be reused. The use must be controlled.
Of course, when the time comes, it is natural to throw him away like a sanitary napkin.
Yuzhu was not new to officialdom, he just made a note for Zhao Donghe silently in his heart and did not show any anger immediately.
From Sima Yi to Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is not a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
The great man Deng Gong still had three rises and three falls.
How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain?
A master of chess, even if he abandons his pieces, he should abandon them with great vigor and in the right place!
The main difference between the supervisor who has been dismissed and sent to prison and Yuzhu is that he is greedy and incompetent!
Yuzhu is just the opposite of him. He is not greedy for public funds, but is quite good at managing private money.
In layman's terms, the public money is not worth a penny. However, one can use the power in one's hands to make a huge personal fortune.
During the time that Yuzhu left, the overall operation of the small faction was good.
Although there are unstable elements like Zhao Donghe who can adapt to the changing circumstances, Wendena and Liu Kan would rather lose their jobs or even be removed from their posts than find another job.
The firm stance shown by the two of them is gratifying and congratulatory!
"Everyone, I have requested that Liu Kan be promoted to the co-organizer of the fifth rank." Yuzhu waited for everyone to finish talking about the current situation, and then slowly took out the memorial that the emperor had approved.
Liu Kan got a big deal, but he didn't show any complacency. After making a big gift, he said calmly: "I'm not very smart, I just know how to accept death. From now on, I will follow you, Lord Dingzhu."
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile. There were actually many horses, but Bole was a scarce resource.
The heroes who followed Zhu Chongba to conquer the country include the old Huaixi tribe and the old Zhejiang tribe.
Most of the main gang members of the big gangster Liu Bang were members of Xiaopei's group. Most of the heroes Liu Bang killed were Wangs with different surnames who later joined the gang, rather than members of his own gang.
Zhao Kuangyin successfully usurped the Zhou Dynasty, relying on the ten brothers of the Yishe.
Sun Chengyun greatly appreciated Liu Kan's firm stance. He said with a smile: "Old Liu is good. He stands firm and behaves well. Good, good, good." He said "good" three times in a row.
Zhao Donghe has always been a little restless because of ghosts in his heart.
Who would have thought that while Yuzhu promoted Liu Kan, he also promoted Zhao Donghe to the position of deputy committee member of the fifth rank.
Zhao Donghe quickly knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and cried, "I can't help Mr. Zhu, and I will definitely change my ways."
Sun Chengyun didn't say anything, but when he looked at Zhao Donghe, he felt unhappy in his heart, little man.
Yuzhu said calmly: "Brother, get up quickly, you and I are not outsiders."
Among those present, Wendner was the latest to join the faction. However, he was unusually transparent.
For the capricious villain, we must let him die well!
Now, it's not time to deal with Zhao Donghe.
Sun Chengyun's baronial residence is no longer what it used to be, and he has no shortage of money to spend.
After the table is laid out, thinly sliced mutton slices are placed on top one after another.
Everyone toasted Yuzhu one after another, and Yuzhu also put on airs and declined, saying that whoever comes will do it.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the table was great!
After the banquet was over, everyone left. Yuzhu and Sun Chengyun sat together and talked about everything after their farewell.
Sun Chengyun smiled and said: "Brother, let me tell you some good news first. The ninth princess is probably pregnant."
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations, brother. When my little nephew or niece is born, I will give you a generous gift."
Sun Chengyun smiled proudly and said: "The gift is natural. I say brother, you should hurry up."
Yuzhu told Sun Chengyun that Alice was pregnant.
Sun Chengyun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that there was something wrong with Yuzhu's health.
"That's good, that's good." Sun Chengyun kept cheering.
