Zhu Xu thought for a while, the voice of the fat woman downstairs became smaller and smaller, waved her hand at Li Kaizheng, and said, "Get up, let the people below stop, if you continue to fight, you will die." ” Li Kaizheng trembled violently, and his throat shook: "Grass people thank the emperor Longen!"
” He staggered to his feet and told the people below to stop.
The fat woman's face was covered in blood, half of her body was red, and she passed out and was dragged away.
Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, glanced at Li Kaizheng, turned to Zhou Jianyu and said, "Who is in charge of Haimao now?"
” Zhou Jianyu calmed down a lot, bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, it's He Spruce, he is thoughtful and does things safely, and the eldest prince trusts him very much." ” Zhu Xu thought about it and nodded, Wei Liangqing, Zhou Jianyu, He Yunshan, Xiao Yong These are all old people who have followed him during the Apocalypse, they are old men, in charge of many business houses, and they have all the credit and hard work.
"Go on."
Zhu Xu said.
Zhou Jianyu understood, the emperor came this time for the business of the Chamber of Commerce, glanced at Li Kaizheng, and considered the wording and said, "Your Majesty, Huiyun Shipping now has more than 800 large and small ships, all over the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, canals and other major water systems, hundreds of routes from south to north, and an annual net profit of more than three million taels.
The profit is also more than a million......"
Zhu Xu's index finger tapped slowly and silently on the table, this profit is the removal of imported items, relatively speaking, it is relatively objective, but it is far less than he expected.
One of the main reasons is that the sea control is not in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the risk at sea is very large, and there have been many losses recently.
The Yaren plundered from time to time, and the navy of the Ming Dynasty was still roaming the coastal seas, unable to go to the sea, unable to protect merchant ships.
Zhu Xu silently wrote it down, glanced at Zhou Jianyu, and said, "Let's talk about the others." ” Although he was in charge of the shipping line, the other Zhou Jianyu also knew a lot, and he looked at Zhu Xu cautiously when he heard this, and said: "Your Majesty, the Huimin Chamber of Commerce is Xiao Yong in charge, in addition to the implementation of sweet potatoes, corn, etc., there are also workshops in the east of the city, large and small shops are all over the Ming Dynasty, the scale is quite perfect, mature, and the annual profit is more than five million taels." ” Sweet potatoes are now not only being promoted by commercial banks, but also by yamen in various places, which can effectively fight disasters and fill their stomachs, and importantly, its price is only about half of that of rice.
The gadgets of the Chengdong workshop are small profits but quick turnover, and they have gradually become popular in recent years, and they are quite profitable.
Zhu Xu knew all this, paused and said, "Not only within the Ming Dynasty, but also when it comes to maritime trade, we must also take the initiative to promote, this is a small profit, don't be polite." ” Zhou Jianyu laughed a little hard, and said: "Yes, there are other salt industry, silk cloth, medicinal materials, tea, minerals, etc., these are all managed by the Wei shopkeeper, and the profits, Weichen doesn't know." ” Regarding these, Zhu Xu's heart is like a mirror, they are all monopolized by Huitong Commercial Bank, private salt, medicinal materials, tea, etc., these are huge profits, and the annual profit is more than 20 million taels!
"Anything else?"
Zhu Xu said.
Zhou Jianyu looked up at Zhu Xu, and there was the Huitong Commercial Bank itself, which was a money bank, relatively secret, even if he didn't know much, only Fu Tao knew best.
Zhou Jianyu didn't dare to say more, his mind turned, and said: "There is also a post station, which is also very profitable now, last year there was a net profit of 500,000 taels, just ......"
Zhu Xucha just brought it to his mouth, raised his eyes and said, "Just what?"
” Zhou Jianyu hesitated, and said: "It's just that the local governments, dignitaries and nobles are unwilling to pay, and forcibly order the post station to deliver the letter, but if you don't comply, you will stumble." ” Zhu Xu laughed, this is the reality, no matter how strict it is on the surface, there are always dirty means in the secret that make you uncomfortable.
Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "In this way, let the post stations around the country make a record, which people owe money and don't give it in the future, all of them are secretly or openly recorded, and I will let Dongchang collect it." ” Zhou Jianyu's expression moved slightly, and he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Thank you, the emperor, the ministers obey the order."
"Dongchang went to collect it, and if you don't give it to these people, you just don't want to live.
Zhu Xu had a preliminary understanding of the situation of several major trading houses, and thought slowly in his heart, and said, "I will find a few of you to enter the palace again in a few days to discuss, and remember what I said first." ” Zhou Jianyu's expression was solemn, and he bowed down and pricked up his ears.
Zhu Xu squinted, looked ahead, and said slowly, "First, sort out the internal relationships and formulate detailed grades."
Second, we should do a good job in internal assessment, attrition, curb corruption, and refrain from engaging in monolithic and fake bureaucracy.
Third, we must have a clear plan for future development, which should be bold and realistic.
Fourth, we should slowly open up some industries and not seek to be the only one.
Fifth, work with all walks of life to formulate business guidelines, abide by the rules, and do not mess around.
Sixth, it is purely commercial, cutting off the relationship with the government, and not giving or soliciting bribes.
Seventh, control profits and make appropriate concessions to those that are fundamental to the people......"
Zhu Xu said more than ten in one breath, Zhou Jianyu listened carefully and wrote it down silently.
This is the request of the Yellow Emperor, it is related to the common people and national politics, and he must not make the slightest mistake.
After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he secretly sighed and said, "That's all for the time being, after you go back, you will discuss it carefully with Wei Liangqing and the others, add any deficiencies, and write a notebook for me to see," Zhou Jianyu clearly knew the importance of this matter, and said solemnly: "Weichen obeys the order!"
” Zhu Xu bowed his head, looked at Li Kaizheng again, and said with a smile: "I am the emperor, not a hooligan, I have been punished, and I will not ask for your family property, go ahead." ” Li Kaizheng's lips moved, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The grass people thank the emperor, my emperor Shengming!"
” Zhu Xu waved his hand, he had long been immune to such a vulgar sycophant, stood up and walked outside.
Zhou Jianyu raised his hand and said, "Congratulations to the emperor." ” Li Kaizheng hurriedly followed: "Congratulations to the emperor." ” It wasn't until Zhu Xu went downstairs that the two got up, and Li Kaizheng had a bitter look on his face, not knowing what to say.
Although the emperor said that he would not ask for his family property, but this matter will be spread, I am afraid that life will not be easy.
Zhu Xu was originally going to Huitong Commercial Bank, but now there is no need, thinking that going back to the palace is a lot of things, he looked at both sides and said, "Let's go, go around first." ” Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao naturally would not dissuade him, the emperor had worked hard for so long, and it was difficult to get out of the palace to relax.
People come and go on both sides of the street.
Although the business of the Ming Dynasty is not developed, it also has a certain scale, and there are endless small merchants and hawkers.
"Lantern riddles, lantern riddles, guess the prize, a delicate glass screen worth five taels......"
Not far away, a vendor banged a gong and shouted loudly, surrounded by men and women.
Zhu Xu was pacing slowly, looking up, only to see that the three people on the side were particularly conspicuous, looked at it, and smiled sideways at Cao Bianjiao: "Is that your cousin?"
” Cao Bianjiao had already recognized Cao Dingjiao and said, "Yes." ” Zhu Xu laughed and said, "It's better to meet by chance, let's go, go over and have a look." ”
