"Your Highness, Your Highness."
Xia Yuanji was also stunned. Most people only knew that such a big golden Buddha statue was worth, but they couldn't tell the specific number.
Xia Yuanji should be the one among this group of people whose calculated numbers are closest to the truth.
Zhu Xiongying wiped his face,
This is outrageous enough, but the golden Buddha statue sitting in the sea is even more outrageous.
How heavy it is!
Only then can people not have to worry about shifting at the bottom of the sea!
The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Ma Sanbao trotted over from a distance.
He said in a deep voice,
"Your Highness!"
Zhu Xiongying looked over,
"What's wrong?"
Ma Sanbao had an angry look on his face,
"Your Highness, some boatmen are taking advantage of the disaster to resell food."
Xia Yuanji frowned and said,
"Boatman?"
Ma Sanbao nodded heavily,
“Not only the boat dealers, but also some car dealers did it!
Car and boat shop, legs and teeth, they deserve to be killed even if they are not guilty!
These people are so audacious! Your Highness, what should we do? ! "
In ancient times, 90% of those who were engaged in businesses such as coachmen, boatmen, inns, porters, and tooth shops were cunning people who committed deception and deception.
Right now, a major disaster is also a great opportunity to make a fortune.
How could they just look at it and not be moved?
Zhu Xiongying waved his hand and said without even frowning,
"The food that was dumped was confiscated directly and we let them work for us for free, transporting goods back and forth.
If you can't pull enough in one day, just ask him directly. "
Ma Sanbao's eyes lit up.
"Got it! Your Highness!"
Xia Yuanji looked at Zhu Xiongying with admiring eyes. Now His Highness's decision will not be affected by personal feelings at all.
How despicable are these people who have made it difficult for the country to make a fortune.
hateful.
But Zhu Xiongying had no anger at all and just did whatever he had to do, so that his emotions would not affect his judgment.
Zhu Xiongying looked at Ma Sanbao's back and fell into deep thought.
I have money now,
Is it possible to repeat Zheng He’s voyages to the West?
Zheng He's voyages to the West actually resulted in a loss.
With such a large fleet, we could make money by sending large quantities of goods back and forth for trade.
But basically what was carried on the ship were the spices requested by Xun Gui, and Zhu Di's main business was tribute trade.
Come and go thick and thin,
Godfather Zhu Di said this,
As long as you show respect, you will gain glory and wealth.
A large amount of ship storage was occupied, and Zheng He could not afford the money. He made seven frequent voyages to the West, and it was entirely Zhu Di who was under pressure from the court.
The next time the Western Empire invades, the Ming Dynasty’s treasury will have to be a little thinner.
Therefore, as soon as Zhu Di died, the voyage to the West was immediately stopped. Zhu Gaochi could not allow such a money-burning thing to exist.
The voyages to the Western Seas would definitely be a waste of money, but if Zheng He was allowed to resell them in various places, he could still maintain the basic expenses of the fleet, and at least balance the books.
Compared with the economic significance, Zhu Di's appointment of Zheng He on his seven voyages to the West was obviously more focused on political purposes.
And if Zhu Xiongying wanted to use Zheng He's Seven Voyages to the West, how much money Zheng He earned would be a trivial matter.
The most important thing is that Zheng He wanted to open up a maritime trade route, and this maritime trade network spread all over the world.
The heart is located in Ming Dynasty.
Zheng He's voyages to the West can also be regarded as the outpost of colonial invasion.
Where did the consciousness of the sea come from in the first place? Just like the land, whoever gets to this place first will belong to whom.
But now the entire world's oceans are basically unclaimed lands, left to Zheng He to pick.
Such a good opportunity will be completely gone in a few decades when the Age of Discovery begins.
Zhu Xiongying made up his mind and put this matter in his mind first, or at least mentioned it on his schedule.
"Come, let's help!"
A loud shout interrupted Zhu Xiongying's thoughts. Zhu Xiongying followed the sound and looked over.
It was Xu Huizu who led hundreds of long rope troops to help the victims rebuild their houses.
"Uncle, what do you want to do? Just greet us."
Xu Huizu was not good at words but practical in work.
According to the old man's command, he led the long rope army and built a wooden house in a short time.
After the wooden house was built, Xu Huizu did not leave in a hurry. He bent down and asked the old man,
"Old man, look at what else you are dissatisfied with.
Just tell me, we did it with our hands. "
The old man walked around the newly built house.
Apparently he hadn't fully accepted it yet, so a small wooden house was built on the ground.
If this old man is allowed to do it by himself, I don’t know if he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
The old man's eyes were red, and he held Xu Huizu's hand and refused to let go.
He said excitedly,
"Good boy, your home is much better than the old man's previous home!
no problem! No problem! "
Xu Huizu wiped his sweat and looked around, only to realize that the surroundings were already surrounded by victims of the disaster unknowingly.
An old lady carrying a child on her back,
He stepped forward tremblingly and said,
"Good boy, can you help me?
My son drowned in the water, and this is the only child left. You think I have no strength..."
Xu Huizu's face turned dark when he heard this.
He quickly greeted,
"Let's go help this old lady build a house!"
Xu Huizu took the child from the old lady's back, held it in his arms and played with it twice.
He looked at the old lady and smiled,
"Auntie, just tell us what you want to do.
You sit and rest. "
When the victims around saw how useful Xu Huizu was, they
Many people rushed forward, wanting the help of the Ming army to rebuild their homes.
Xu Huizu stepped forward and comforted him,
“Dear fellow villagers, our people are limited.
so! We’ll start helping those who need it most first, and then we’ll help everyone else when we’re almost done! "
What Xu Huizu said was reasonable and reasonable, and none of the victims present had any objections.
Zhu Xiongying looked at Xu Huizu and couldn't help but nodded.
In his heart, Xu Huizu was a down-to-earth and hard-working person, but today he discovered for the first time that
Xu Huizu has a different kind of charm,
He easily gains the trust of others,
This shining point was hidden too deeply by Xu Huizu,
If Xu Huizu doesn't take the initiative, where will Zhu Xiongying go?
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said to Xia Yuanji,
"Do you know what satisfies me most about him?"
Xia Yuanji shook his head. All he could think about now was converting to Buddhism, and his heart was completely confused.
Zhu Xiongying said,
“It’s him who knows how to put himself in someone else’s shoes.
Xu Hui's ancestors were born and raised in the capital.
The buildings in each place are the same.
He did not act arrogantly and followed his own ideas. Instead, he listened to the opinions of the local people first. This is how he works for the people.
This is really precious.
At present, many officials in Ming Dynasty cannot understand this point.
There is no contradiction at all between doing political achievements and doing things for the people.
However, there are some state government officials who only care about political achievements. They also think they are doing their own thing, which makes people angry and resentful. In the end, they have to call the people cunning.
Isn't it unreasonable? "
Zhu Xiongying's eyes became brighter and brighter as he spoke. No matter how satisfied he was with Xu Huizu,
I thought, I have to use this to pull him up. In this position, it is still a waste of talent.
At this moment, Xu Huizu still didn’t know what His Highness was thinking.
If not say that Xu Da is the father and Xu Huizu is the son, the ginger is still the hotter.
