Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him
Chapter 587 It’s always right to listen to your mother
"Mother, your smile makes your son feel scared. Are you going to sell your son out?" Brother Hui was really unsure and asked in an exaggerated manner.
Mu Yingbao was still laughing; "Sell you? Even if I dare to sell, no one dares to buy. Let's eat and talk while we eat." Brother Hui obediently picked up the dishes with chopsticks, but his eyes were still staring at her. "I took Dongzhu Yundou and the others to your royal storehouse this morning to pick out some fabrics to make robes for you and your great-grandfather. In fact, I had an idea when I went there last time, but I didn't have time to tell you. You also went in to see it, they are all good things." Mu Yingbao asked. "Mother, I have been there, and there are indeed a lot of good things, but there are only more than sixty taels of silver that can solve the problem. The son felt strange and asked the chief steward of internal affairs. From what he said, Zhou Zhian should not have no private collection at all, but he didn't find it.
Mother, do you think there is a possibility that Zhou Zhian's disappearance was not accidental, but was premeditated, and the money was also taken away long ago?
Mother, you can come up with 100,000 taels of silver, so how could Zhou Zhian, the emperor, only have more than 60 taels? Even if he doesn't have 6 million taels, he should have 600,000 taels, right? "Brother Hui couldn't believe it.
Moreover, he did not believe that Zhou Zhian's disappearance was due to lack of financial resources.
"Drink, that really doesn't make sense." Mu Yingbao also felt that the child's words made sense.
However, the account book she looked at today did not look new, and there were no signs of changes.
If Brother Hui said that Zhou Zhian could not have hidden 6,000 taels, then there was another possibility, that is, he did not record the silver in that account book. Or perhaps, there was another account book, and another private vault that had not been discovered.
"Mother, let's get back to the point. Tell your son the solution as soon as possible. Mother, you don't know that only when you manage the household do you not know how expensive firewood and rice are. Now your son finally understands this. Without money, life will be hard!" Brother Hui said worriedly.
Seeing the child like this, he was indeed worried, so Mu Yingbao couldn't bear to tease him anymore and told him his thoughts.
When Brother Hui heard this, his eyes immediately brightened up. "Mother, this is a good idea. I'll trouble you to take care of this matter. If you like the things in it, you can keep them. If you can sell the rest for silver, you can just sell them all."
Although those things are now considered his wealth, he still has a huge empire to manage, and he needs money for everything.
What's the point of guarding a storehouse full of gold, silver and jewels if there's no silver to use?
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will take care of it. But you have to be mentally prepared. Who knows what those grasshoppers will say when they find out. I guess they will say that the emperor selling private property is undermining his royal prestige." Mu Yingbao reminded with a smile.
"Royal power? Haha, nothing can be done without money, so you have royal power? The soldiers going to the battle have no food and are hungry, so I have royal power? If anyone dares to say that, my son will let him solve the problem of silver." Brother Hui ascended the throne for a few days and saw through those grasshoppers.
He opened his mouth and spoke excitedly and passionately.
It's a joke to expect them to solve the problem.
There was no need for Gong and the others to waste words. They just told him directly, since you object and you have the ability, then this matter will be left to you to handle! It only took one sentence to put out the fire.
It's all right to talk nonsense, but serious matters? Haha, forget it!
"Son, now that you know how difficult it is to be the head of a family and the importance of money, then the question of how to make money is also a matter of urgency. I suggest that you set up a separate department specifically responsible for commerce.
In this way, half of the treasury's income comes from taxes and the other half comes from commercial trade. This can not only solve your own treasury expenditure problem, but also ease the pressure on the people.
p;When a country is prosperous and its people are strong, foreign enemies will not dare to act rashly and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. This is the so-called virtuous cycle.
By then, even if there is a flood disaster somewhere, you will have enough financial resources and energy to deal with it. You won't get too anxious." After saying that, he took another sip of the wine and salt.
She would tell Brother Hui everything she could think of and would also give suggestions, but she would not self-righteously order the children to do things according to her wishes.
Brother Hui listened carefully and simply put down his chopsticks. "Mother, regarding commerce, there is a suitable candidate for my son's winter exam this time. His name is Feng Jucai. His family has been in business for generations, and now they are considered to be the richest in our Yan State.
His son had someone check his family, and found that although they were doing business, they were honest and had a good reputation. The Feng family motto was that business ethics came first, and integrity was the most important thing, with honesty and morality as the first principle.
Although his ranking in this winter exam was a little behind and not in the top 30, some of his insights on the answer sheet were very unique.
My son is thinking about how to best place him. How about appointing him to be in charge of the Ministry of Commerce?
"Hey, son, you're not bad. Shang Jia is allowed to participate in the first winter examination after he ascended the throne." Mu Yingbao was very surprised.
Because the child had never told her about the specific details of the winter exam.
But she knew that this dynasty had too many similarities with some dynasties she knew, such as their contempt for merchants.
The descendants of merchants do not have the right to participate in the imperial examinations. Even if you are as rich as a country or as talented as a genius, you cannot pass the examination!
No matter how beautiful a woman from a merchant family is or how well-versed she is in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she cannot become the wife of a royal family member or an official, but she can be a concubine.
If the descendants of a businessman want to become an official and pursue a career in politics, there is only one way, and that is to marry into an official's family as a son-in-law.
Mu Yingbao has always found it incredible why merchants had such a low status in certain dynasties.
She had looked up relevant information and learned that in ancient times, merchants were viewed as a class that made money without working. They did not produce but merely bought and sold goods. The words of unscrupulous merchants would even drive up the prices of goods.
Therefore, merchants have always been discriminated against in ancient times.
Officials who hold real power and buy and sell positions are also businessmen, aren't they?
"Mother, my son's winter exam notice clearly states that no matter your status, you can take the exam. This time, not only business people will take the winter exam, but also many illegitimate children will take it. The one who was selected, Liu Rongwei, was born to the concubine of Liu Qingxian, the clan envoy. My son made him a third-rank imperial censor today.
After hearing this, those termites looked at their son's expression and thought it was "nonsense." When Brother Hui talked about this, he became excited again.
After hearing this, Mu Yingbao was very pleased with Brother Hui's actions.
After hearing this, Mu Yingbao was very pleased with Brother Hui's actions.
In ancient society, the feudal hierarchy was quite serious, and the children born to the legitimate wife symbolized power, status, and reputation.
No matter how outstanding a concubine's son is, he will be discriminated against in the feudal system with strict etiquette. To put it bluntly, it is a very serious concept of superiority and inferiority.
So when Brother Hui said that, Mu Yingbao could imagine the reactions of those grasshoppers at that time.
Brother Hui was able to ignore secular concepts and recruit talents regardless of their background. This kid is very courageous!
This meal took the longest time for the two of them.
Fan Daxuetu and his son were waiting at the gate of Yangxin Palace and were getting worried. Fan Puchang couldn't help but wonder what the mother and daughter were thinking about together...
