Zhu Cibing was indeed a filial son, and the posthumous title he prepared for Chongzhen was quite appropriate.
Zhu Cixiang looked back at Prince Zhu San again, "Third son, what do you think? Is Emperor Fuzongxian okay?"
"Okay, okay!" Zhu Cijiong nodded, "Let's call Shaotian Zhiming Fengheng Yuda or something... Anyway, my father is quite happy in this life. Although the emperor didn't do well, he has a long life and good fortune, so he can give it back to us The three brothers gave birth to more than a hundred brothers!"
He looked at Zhu Cixiang and said, "Boss, you are also awesome. With so many brothers, you actually arranged it well!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled and waved his hand, "Whether my brothers do well or not depends mainly on themselves. As an elder brother, I just create some opportunities for them... In fact, the success of a king is only the death of ten thousand bones!"
Of course it is not easy to found a country and start a business. In the past few decades, it has not been easy for Chongzhen's son to go abroad to start a business... It is much better to die outside!
And more are the county princes who have lost all their wealth. Starting a business is risky, and you need to be cautious when building a country... Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty does not keep princes in captivity. They have lost all their family property and can still become small officials or go to big trading houses or large companies. If you find a job in the Chamber of Commerce, you can count on being self-reliant.
Zhu Cijiong nodded, "That's right, it's not easy for anyone to make a breakthrough outside now!"
It is indeed not easy!
Although Zhu Cixiang's brothers have many advantages, it is too difficult to start a business. Anyone who can succeed in starting a business must have real ability...or they are regarded by other people with real ability. On. For example, the two soft rice kings Zhu Cihuan and Zhu Cixiu not only have real skills, but also real capital!
And in the process of establishing a business, there were quite a few princes and princes of the Zhu family who died or went bankrupt!
Zhu Cixiang said again: "It is indeed not easy to start a business and open up new territories! Third brother, why did you say these things to Brother Yu today?"
"Brother," Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "since you know that it is not easy for them, have you ever thought about how our Ming Dynasty will govern so many vassal states that are difficult to create in the future?"
Zhu Cixiang nodded, and then shouted: "Good luck, did you hear your third uncle's question? What do you think?
When I send your grandfather away, he will abdicate and become emperor. Then you will be the emperor! How to manage so many hard-won vassal states is all your business. "
This question is indeed difficult to answer! Now it is not easy for the Ming Dynasty to manage its own provincial vassal towns, and it is too difficult to govern the vassal states... and those vassal states were all fought or slept on their own ability!
"Father," Zhu Hexing stepped forward on horseback, "I think that vassal countries should always observe etiquette... there must be respect for superiors and inferiors!"
"What about the vassal state that doesn't observe etiquette?" Zhu Cixiang asked again.
In fact, the vassal state that observes etiquette is of little use, and it is becoming more and more undefeatable. Even the armaments of the Kingdom of Japan have become increasingly lax in recent years.
The ones that can really fight against the Western powers at the front are the United States, the United Kingdom, the Kingdom of Qing, the Republic of Xichu, and the Kingdom of Jungar. They are not considered ritual countries.
"This..." Zhu Hexing was a bit out of touch - Ding Yuying is not here at the moment! What difficult questions should I ask her!
"Father, these countries don't even care!"
"Lao San, do you have any good tips to teach the prince?" Zhu Cixiang asked the third prince Zhu again.
"Brother, what can I do?" Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "It's just a trick... Let's discuss it together." "
Zhu Cixiang nodded, "The Western Chu Republic and the Zhungeer Kingdom have done well in recent years... and they are quite obedient! This is all due to the good training of the third brother, right?"
"I don't dare to take such a big credit," Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "We are our own people in Xichu after all... Zhun Geer depends entirely on Anu! By the way, Anu will come too, right?"
"Come," Zhu Cixiang nodded, "I haven't seen her for many years... I miss her so much!"
Zhu Cixiang had many children, but they were not raised by him. On the contrary, Anu had been with him since he was a child, so the relationship was certainly different.
"Brother," Zhu Cijiong nodded and said, "This is a rare opportunity! It's really not easy for a big family, scattered all over the world, to get together! I don't know when the next time will be... …”
next time? Zhu Cixiang thought: It will be my turn next time, right? It would be better to meet again in twenty years... It would be better to meet again in thirty years. There is really no rush in this matter!
Zhu Cijiong glanced at his frowning brother, and then continued: "Brother, you have to take advantage of the fact that our generation is still here to convene a meeting with everyone to discuss a set of laws that are acceptable to all aspects. In particular, there must be a well-discussed system, so that all parties can discuss things, so that our descendants can live in harmony!"
Zhu Cixiang nodded and looked at Zhu Hexing again.
Zhu Hexing said: "What the third uncle said is very good. Now our family members are scattered all over the world. Some of them have capable people and have established many countries. Some of them are big and powerful... My father is still here." , these big and powerful countries naturally do not dare to fail to observe the courtesy of their ministers. But what about my father Qianqiu? I think it is better to discuss it carefully, after all, we are all a family! If we really want to break up, then the gain will not be worth the loss. "
Yes, it would be inappropriate for a family conflict to turn into a world war!
Moreover, the great powers such as the United States, Qing State, Western Chu State, Jungar State, and the United Kingdom were too far away from the Ming Dynasty... The cost of sending troops to attack was too high, and even if they won, they would lose their money.
Zhu and Xing are both quite old, and they worked their way up from the county magistrate to the magistrate!
Of course we know that losing money will lead to death!
Zhu Hexing didn't believe in the idea that an overt offender would be punished no matter how far away he was. And he also knew that the Ming Dynasty and those powerful vassals were interdependent. Without the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Qing Dynasty being open to accept the Ming Dynasty's "preparatory Li Zicheng," how could the Ming Dynasty's capitalist road be so stable?
And because gold mines with gratifying reserves have been discovered on the land of the United States, the United Kingdom (Southern Continent), and Qingguo, these three countries have very strong purchasing power, and they are all rich countries! Currently, about half of the handicrafts produced in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty were exported to these three rich countries. More than 80% of the gold and silver produced by the three wealthy countries flowed into the Ming Dynasty through trade.
Although the Ming Empire itself did not participate in the sharing of the profits from the gold and silver mines of the Three Kingdoms, through trade and trade-related commercial taxes (the current Ming Dynasty is very serious about collecting business taxes), the court of the Ming Empire still participated in the gold and silver mines of the Three Kingdoms. The biggest beneficiary of development.
Even for the sake of the continuous inflow of gold and silver, and the continuous outflow of "Prepare Li Zicheng", Zhu Hexing is not willing to fall out with them... At his age, he has encountered so many people. Troublesome things have long since run out of energy, and the most important thing is to live a steady life.
Zhu Cixiang smiled and nodded. He was also an old man in his seventies, and he did not want his descendants to fight a world war after he gave up. The consequences of losing a world war would be very serious! The Habsburg dynasty, the Hohenzollern dynasty, the Romanov dynasty, and the Ottoman dynasty in history were all wiped out by the First World War!
This is worse than a revolution! Revolutions don't spread that fast... Countries with relatively large numbers of poor people are prone to revolutions, while countries with extremely rich local tycoons are less likely to have revolutions. It’s too late to dig for gold, so who has time to make a revolution?
Therefore, even if the revolutionary upsurge without a world war as a trigger arises, the descendants of the Zhu family can still hide elsewhere, or at worst, go to those wealthy countries to avoid the limelight.
But if my family starts a world war and then starts a world revolution, there will be no place to hide!
Moreover, the dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Qing Kingdom, and the Western Chu Kingdom were all descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao. If they were wiped out by a world war, they would suffer a huge loss.
