My Daming New Empire

This is the limitation of industrial development.

Although industrial development can directly change from quantitative to qualitative, the requirements for people have also increased, and the technical industry requires specialization.

But business is different, because the core of business is circulation, and the channels of circulation can be controlled.

The core of controlling circulation channels is finance.

Commercial exchange requires a standard, which is the fundamental reason for the birth of currency.

As long as everyone agrees, shells can also become currency, copper can become currency, gold and silver can become currency, and cloth and silk can also become currency.

In later generations, printed paper can also become currency, or even just a string of electronic numbers can become currency.

Controlling the currency is tantamount to controlling finance and the economy. At the same time, it is also tantamount to controlling the measurement standards of social development.

Although controlling currency does not mean controlling the overall development of society, this lever can leverage the entire society.

Zhu Zhanji is very clear that this is a superior place that he understands more thoroughly than people of this era.

Moreover, he still has very good conditions, that is, he is the grandson of the emperor, the future emperor, and has inherent advantages.

Therefore, he, the future emperor, does not need to control any industry, but the control of currency must be firmly grasped.

Just like Zhu Gaosui, he wants to do business, so let him do it.Once he started his business, he would be able to drive dozens of royal relatives not to develop on the path of parasites, so that they could be self-reliant in the future.

As the future emperor, he doesn't need to compete with anyone, because the existence of the emperor itself is the biggest monopoly.

What did the emperor really need to control?

In Zhu Zhanji's view, three main aspects are enough.

One is the right to issue currency, that is, the right to control the economy.

One is the right to information circulation, that is, the right to control people's hearts.

There is also the right to political management, that is, the right to rule by violence.

As long as these three aspects are firmly grasped, no matter how this society develops, it will not escape the emperor's control.

Of course, this difficulty is not ordinary, because control is the most complicated skill in the whole society.

Zhu Gaosui originally thought that he would be shunned by Zhu Zhanji, because he also wanted to participate in maritime trade, which was tantamount to grabbing food from Zhu Zhanji's bowl.

But he didn't expect that Zhu Zhanji didn't seem to care about this business that could earn millions of silver.Without any excuses, I told him in detail some tips for doing business in Korea and Japan.

Even after leaving the other hospital, he was still a little uneasy, and couldn't figure out what Zhu Zhanji was thinking.

If Zhu Zhanji is stupid, he absolutely doesn't believe it, so why would he do this?

Zhao Shichun also couldn't figure out what Zhu Zhanji was thinking, but now that there are too many people talking, he suppressed doubts and followed Zhu Gaosui back to Zhao Wang's mansion, before he couldn't help sighing: "I have lived for more than 40 years, but today I can't understand it." Taisun's thoughts. He also promised that someone could go to the Ningbo Shipyard Department to contact Yu Xian and introduce him. This is completely different from what we thought at the beginning."

Zhu Gaosui was originally a warrior, not good at planning or plotting.Hearing Zhao Shichun's words, he smiled wryly and said: "My nephew is really not simple, people can't figure out the depth. But since he agreed to help me open up business routes, there shouldn't be any change. It's just that [-]% of the price will be paid. Thirty percent of the tax is not too much to ask for."

"If you earn, you will be taxed. Even if you pay [-]%, we can still earn more. It's just so much money, does the grandson really not care at all? I can't figure it out..."

Zhu Gaosui said with a smile at this time: "Since he is willing to give us a business route, it is reasonable to earn the money first. Since he can't figure it out, he won't guess it. I don't believe he dared to deceive me. You can arrange it and let Zhao Quan Follow the army to respond to Tianfu, and strive to settle this matter as soon as possible."

Zhao Quan is Zhao Shichun's nephew, he manages many shops for Zhao Wangfu, and he can be regarded as a celebrity in front of Zhao Wang.

However, opening up business routes is of great importance, Zhao Wang was able to hand over this matter to Zhao Quan because of Zhao Shichun's face.

After Zhao Shichun thanked him, he asked again: "Where is the King of Han..."

"How to deal with it is how to deal with it, but we should not participate in those messy things. Before finding out the details of my nephew, it is better not to stand against him."

Walking in the institute, Zhu Di didn't get up until the sun was high.

This Northern Expedition also made him truly realize that he is already old.During the Battle of Jingnan, he never felt tired from the continuous marches and fierce battles, but this time just marching already made him feel powerless.

However, this big victory still made him refreshed. When he returned to Beiping yesterday, he fought for [-] rounds with Concubine Zhaoyi who followed the army to the north.

Seeing Zhu Di wake up, the imperial concubine Zhaoyi, who was snuggling beside him, sat up and called the maids and eunuchs on duty to wait on him.

Wang Yan came in with a stack of memorials. "Your Majesty, early this morning, the accompanying ministers were already waiting in the main hall, waiting for Your Majesty to drive."

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "Didn't I already talk about it when I greeted you yesterday. Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, let's celebrate the festival first. If you have anything to say, I will talk about it at the court meeting tomorrow. Go, let them go, I am also a human being, and I want to enjoy it." Let's enjoy family fun."

These are all excuses, and only Zhu Di knows in his heart that his body is exhausted and he needs to rest for a day before he can cope with tomorrow's court meeting.

After Empress Xu's grand visit, Zhu Di never established a queen again. Although the noble concubine Zhaoyi was Zhang Yu's daughter, Zhu Di only established a noble concubine and asked her to manage the harem as a noble concubine.

Zhang's family education is very strict. Although he comes from a famous family, he is not pampered. He is a worry-free person and is loved by Zhu Di.

After serving Zhu Di for breakfast, she didn't let Zhu Di lie back on the bed, but coquettishly entangled Zhu Di to walk in the office for a while.

The place of travel is the Forbidden City of later generations, but because the capital has not been moved, the scale is far less grand than that of later generations.

And now it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is lined with green trees. It can be said that it is the most beautiful place in Beiping.

After walking in the shade for a while, Zhu Di also felt much more energetic, so he asked Concubine Zhang. "What's going on in Peking recently?"

Concubine Zhang Guifei thought for a while and smiled and said: "The army marches north, and they serve the army all day long. There are some anecdotes related to the army. I am in a deep palace. If you ask me about my identity, don't you ask Yu?" blind?"

Zhu Di also smiled and said, "It's because you are in the deep palace, so what you know is the real big deal."

Seeing what Zhu Di said, Concubine Zhang stopped laughing and said, "Your Majesty said this, but I think there is one thing that is quite strange. Recently, the Taisun killed 43 people in the grassland, and the news has spread all over Beiping, and even all over Ming Dynasty. Sun is the most important junior of His Majesty, he beheaded 43 people in a row, although he is very brave, but now the spread is too wide, it will hinder his reputation!"

Zhu Di shook his head with a smile, and said disapprovingly: "Ji Er is like me, how can I care about these gossips. It's just the person behind the scenes who is fueling the flames, and his heart can be punished."

(It was interrupted for a week, and the status has not been adjusted. Now it is finally written. I hope the next chapter will be smoother.)

Chapter 63 Concubine Selection

Even though he said this, Zhu Di knew very well that this incident was definitely not caused by any one person or any party.Whether it is civil servants or generals, they are all behind the scenes.

The purpose of the generals to promote Zhu Zhanji is to flaunt Zhu Zhanji's martial arts heart and to narrow the relationship between them and the grandson.

The purpose of civil servants to promote Zhu Zhanji is to remind all scholars to be vigilant against Zhu Zhanji.

A grandson who dared to rush directly to the battlefield and kill 43 people was not the ideal emperor of a civil servant.

Compared with his father Zhu Gaochi, this heir to the throne is a bit too capable.

However, even if he knew this, Zhu Di could not punish anyone for it, because those civil servants could quickly change their positions, claiming that they promoted Zhu Zhanji because they admired him.

He turned his head and asked, "What is Taisun doing today?"

Li Qian bowed and said: "Grandfather didn't get up early today, and when he woke up, he ordered Li Shaojian to prepare contraceptive pills for the maid. It must be because of the small internal strength and the solidification of kidney water."
