In the clan's mansion
"Crazy, all crazy."
Zhu Biao couldn't bear it anymore.
As soon as he left Lao Zhu, he couldn't help but complain to his brothers.
The second child, Zhu Xi, wiped his face.
I also felt dizzy for a while.
It can be said that taxation is not only the lifeblood of the capital, but also related to various vassals.
Salt is also produced in various places.
Inland areas like Yandi mostly boil salt;
And areas near the sea in the south of the Yangtze River are mostly sun-salted.
but no matter,
Although the local Sai kings have great autonomy,
However, all the proceeds from salt production must be handed over to the capital.
Handed over to Zhu Yuanzhang's hands,
Then Zhu Yuanzhang redistributed it to various places.
Although life has been tight these past few years,
But fortunately, my father distributed the salt tax very reasonably.
No matter which place is hit by a disaster, my father will always share a little more.
All the vassal kings were also convinced.
And if the power to control the salt tax is handed over to the two imperial grandchildren,
What do the two royal grandsons know? !
to the end,
The right to distribute the salt tax,
It is still controlled by the officials behind the emperor and grandson!
Although the whipping method sounds nice,
To compile various taxes into one line,
but,
It will still take some time for a whip method to be rolled out in all directions in Ming Dynasty.
Prior to this, the salt tax was still collected and distributed according to the previous method.
The princes couldn't understand Lao Zhu's logic at all.
This is tantamount to distributing the salt tax to foreign ministers in disguise!
And what’s even more outrageous is that,
Even if my father doesn’t want to worry about the salt tax anymore,
The power to control the salt tax should also be delegated to Prince Zhu Biao instead of assigning it to a certain emperor's grandson.
It's like the father is afraid that the grandson in his heart will not have enough political resources.
Father is changing his ways and stuffing resources into his hands!
The second eldest brother, Zhu Xiang, could not help but frown and said,
"Since my father has said so, he must have already chosen someone in his mind."
The princes were silent for a while, obviously agreeing with what the second brother said,
Father said it nicely,
Who runs the salt factory well?
Just leave this tax system to someone,
But according to the princes’ understanding of Lao Zhu,
I'm afraid Lao Zhu already has a suitable candidate in mind.
And all of this is just a ploy for that person,
The third child, Zhu Fan, coughed and glanced at Zhu Biao.
asked cautiously,
"Brother, aren't you about to be crippled?"
Normally, if the third child asked this question, Zhu Biao would just take it as amusement.
But now Zhu Biao also frowned,
I couldn't help but fell into deep thought,
My father's behavior this time was really weird.
Zhu Biao knew it well.
Neither Yunwen nor Yunxi had the ability to manage the salt tax.
How could my father be so rash as to directly hand over the salt tax to them across generations?
Zhu Biao was also confused.
When the second eldest brother Zhu Xi heard the nonsense said by the third eldest brother Zhu Fan,
I immediately felt unhappy.
eyes wide open,
He immediately scolded,
“Third brother, what kind of fart are you farting?!
I recognize you as my eldest brother!
If my father wants to abolish my eldest brother, I will be the first to disagree! "
The third child, Zhu Fan, rolled his eyes.
I secretly thought in my heart,
Father, I can establish whoever I want to establish, and I can destroy whoever I want to abolish.
Do you agree that it’s useless?
then,
The second eldest child, Zhu Xiang, looked at Zhu Biao again with a pleading look on his face.
said,
"Brother, you must not be scrapped!
Our father doesn’t recognize anything else, he only recognizes Li Chang.
If you were abolished, wouldn’t I have to follow you? "
The King of Qin, Zhu Xiang, also spoke nonsense.
Zhu Biao was both the direct descendant and the eldest son,
How could Zhu Yuanzhang get rid of his second favorite Zhu Biao?
and,
Lao Zhu more than once,
He clearly expressed his principle of establishing heirs,
That is to establish a direct lineage and an elder.
Lao Zhu just ignored the rest of the messy code.
Zhu Yuanzhang established Prince Zhu Biao early.
Just don’t give people room to imagine,
Lao Zhu told you clearly,
Want to take the throne?
impossible!
Zhu Biao couldn't help but bite his finger.
said,
"Father cannot destroy me.
But my father's recent behavior is too abnormal.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore!
I have to go to Yunwen and Yunxi first and let these two guys weigh it up! "
After all,
Zhu Biao quickly turned around and left.
The younger brothers were left staring at each other.
I haven’t been in the capital for a few years,
Is it so exciting to have fun in Beijing now?
I feel like I can’t keep up with the version!
"Your Highness, Mr. Xu, please see me."
Zhu Di smiled with the guards and said,
Nodding and saying,
"Let my father-in-law come in."
Xu Da walked into the clan mansion.
The Zongren Mansion is an institution that specializes in handling royal affairs.
Xu Da has rarely been here.
Zhu Di stepped forward and said excitedly,
"father in law!"
Although Xu Da didn't want to laugh, he still laughed twice.
Zhu Di is a good kid.
But my own girl is better.
As an old father,
The son-in-law must be displeased at first glance.
The second oldest Zhu Xi, the third oldest Zhu Fan and the fifth oldest Zhu Xi looked at each other.
Chatting with someone’s son-in-law,
Don't get involved yourself.
He said hello to Zhu Di and left.
but,
Xu Da said,
"Your Highnesses, there is no need to be shy, I am just talking to Zhu Di about some trivial matters.
It doesn't take much time. "
The feudal kings looked at each other, a little strange.
But he stayed.
after all,
Xu Da is a general they respect very much.
The three Zhu Feng brothers found a random place and sat down.
The distance between him and Zhu Di and Xu Da is neither close nor far.
It seems very borderline.
When Zhu Di opens his mouth, he will make things happen.
But after seeing Xu Da's expression, he couldn't help but look solemn.
"Father-in-law? What's wrong with you?"
Xu Da used a voice that was just right for all the vassal kings to hear,
He opened his mouth and said,
"Son-in-law, do you want to start the shampoo business in Yandi?"
The three brothers, King Zhu Feng of Qin, visibly trembled.
Chatting pretending to be absent-minded,
In fact, the ears are completely pricked up.
Zhu Di's breath stagnated.
He looked at his father-in-law with fear in his eyes,
I subconsciously want to refuse,
Who doesn't know that the shampoo business was started by the second young master of the Chang family? !
Who does Chang Mansion support?
Zhu Yunxi!
And now the situation is so tense,
Isn't this tantamount to taking sides in disguise? !
Zhu Di wanted to refuse righteously.
But....but....
But I really can’t say this!
Yes!
Chang's shampoo business is so prosperous! ! !
Even his wife Xu Miaoyun wrote a letter specifically telling Zhu Di to go back with shampoo.
I also specifically requested the fruity flavor.
Although Zhu Di doesn’t know what Guofen shampoo is,
But the name of this product can be spread to Yandi,
That’s enough to explain it all!
Zhu Di clenched his fists,
My breathing became heavier.
He wants it so much!
Xu Da's demonic voice sounded in Zhu Di's ears,
Constantly tempting Zhu Di,
"son in law,
The Chang family provided the goods, and they paid for the transportation expenses.
You only need to be responsible for selling in Yandi,
When the time comes, we will throw out the cost price and divide the accounts like this! "
Xu Da stretched out a hand.
Snapped!
The tea cup in the hand of King Qin Zhu Pang fell to the ground and broke.
Xu Da looked over pretending to be confused,
"Your Highness King Qin, are you okay?"
The second eldest brother, Zhu Xiang, laughed quickly and said,
"it's okay no problem!
You two go on! "
Zhu Di's eyes were full of struggle, he was really going crazy!
Lao Zhu clearly emphasized today,
We can't talk about the power of salt production given to the emperor's grandson.
so,
Zhu Di couldn't ask Xu Da.
I can only figure it out for myself here.
Zhu Di could clearly feel that his second brother, third brother, and fifth brother were all looking at him secretly.
It can be said,
The conditions offered by the Chang family are full of sincerity!
Delivery!
Provide channels!
In the end, I have to make a 50-50 profit from Zhu Di!
This is no different from a blood vomiting sale!
Moreover,
The road from Beijing to Yandi is extremely difficult!
Even transporting food,
Everywhere you go you have to lose 30%.
What's more, it's something like shampoo that's not easy to store.
The Chang family is willing to bear all losses on the road,
This is so interesting!
Moreover,
Zhu Di and the Chang family also have a relationship with Chang Yuchun.
Based on emotion and reason,
This is a business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money and benefit both parties.
But why!
Exactly at this point in time!
It is no exaggeration to say,
Now any random move can be related to the emperor's grandson who is siding with him.
Not to mention the Chang family at the center of the storm!
Zhu Di gritted his teeth.
I felt extremely uncomfortable.
Xu Da didn't speak either.
Just waiting quietly for Zhu Di to make a decision.
"that..."
Suddenly a sudden voice sounded,
I saw the fifth child Zhu Xi slowly raising his hand,
said,
"General Xu, can we talk?
I really want to do this business. "
Xu Da said,
"His Royal Highness King Zhou, I will talk to the Chang family."
The fifth child, Zhu Xi, smiled very handsomely.
"Okay, although I'm no longer in Wu,
But there are some resources out there.
You can tell the Chang family that water can be used for transportation.
We are responsible for our profits and losses.
The final profit distribution can be as low as 40%.
As long as you are willing to do this shampoo business with me,
My conditions can still be negotiated. "
The fifth child, Zhu Xi, said it right,
Xu Da couldn't help but feel moved.
Although it sounds simple,
10% profit, 20% profit,
but,
Just think about the huge size of shampoo,
Even half a percent is an unimaginable number!
The fifth child, Zhu Ru, smiled and said,
I still need to open the book.
"Actually, this profit..."
Zhu Di finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He flew towards Lao Wu,
Throw Zhu Ru to the ground,
Holding Lao Wu Zhu's collar,
roared,
"Stop fucking rolling, okay?!!!"
