When I first arrived, I was worried about the money in my son’s pocket and wanted to keep it all for myself!
Is this your biological father?
Five-star African Emirates is nothing more than that~!
Did a certain father survive by begging for food in Nandu?
After all these years, it’s still hard to change the nature of scrapping my son’s territory!
"you……"
When Chongzhen saw his eldest son suddenly appearing in front of him, he was so shocked that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
"Father, if you announce your abdication immediately, I will give you five million taels of silver as your abdication fee. Otherwise, I think you are in good health and can live for another hundred and eighty years. Let's talk about it. Talking about money hurts feelings!”
A certain new emperor is also an emperor!
He is also a master who wants both face and money!
How pitiful it is that the money is gone before the person dies!
"...Five million taels? Abdication fee?"
It seems that in Chongzhen's opinion, this money is indeed a lot of money.
But then I thought about it, this villain has hundreds of millions of silver in savings.
It would be too cheap to abdicate for a mere five million taels.
"Well! After you abdicate, my father can still own the business in the Eight Corners of Nanting. It will not be a problem to make millions of taels a year. If you want to live in Beidu, you can live in Beidu, and if you want to live in Nandu, you can live in Nandu. If you don't want to abdicate, just be I never said what I said before."
Abdication is a sum of money, and retirement is another sum of money.
Instead of giving the dumper millions of taels of pocket money every year, it would be better to let him continue to keep his original business.
A certain new emperor has made two preparations and is not afraid of making any choice.
"Do you really want me to abdicate?"
Regarding the matter of abdication, Chongzhen felt that he had to think carefully and could not agree immediately.
"Actually, Nanting is managed very well by my father, and I don't want to be responsible for any more trivial matters. But for the sake of my father, I can take care of myself after abdicating the throne, and at least I can live ten more years, which is better than every day." It’s much easier to worry about everything.”
Anyway, whatever I say makes sense, it just depends on what you think.
"It has been more than twenty years since the Southern Court was established. If I suddenly announced my abdication, wouldn't it make all the ministers feel chilled?"
Chongzhen didn't mention himself, so he introduced a group of courtiers as his shield.
"Father, what you said is wrong. If the imperial court cannot pay salaries, it will make the ministers feel cold. As long as the ministers can get money and support their families, they will not be cold. I want to see if father can do it at any time. Please see me. If my father is unwilling to abdicate, I will never force him to do so. Originally, I had no intention of proposing this matter. Whether my father lives in the northern capital or uses it as a summer resort, I will not mind."
You can do whatever you want with a group of wives, I'm too lazy to care.
"It's not impossible to ask me to abdicate, but you have to agree to a few conditions!"
It's not like Chongzhen had never thought about abdicating the throne in favor of a worthy person before, but the fact that many of the princes were still young really made him uneasy.
"Father, it's okay to speak out. As long as it's reasonable, I will do my best!"
A certain new emperor also wants to see what kind of conditions the scapegoat can put forward. If they are not too excessive, they can be met.
"First, you also said you would give me an abdication fee, but I want ten million taels. Second, I also want to retain the trading rights in the south. Third, you have to give me a lot of money in addition to King Dingzhong and King Burma. The younger brothers should find a fiefdom, and the fiefdom each of them should not be too small, at least more than the Yongping Mansion. Fourthly, if the fiefdom is overseas, you are not allowed to send the king's troops to invade any fiefdom owned by the younger brothers. Fifthly, you must give each fiefdom a small fiefdom. The five hundred thousand taels for the younger brother and younger sister will be the feudal fee or the wedding fee."
After Chongzhen finished speaking, it was up to him to see how the traitor would respond.
"Father, if my calculations are correct, in addition to King Dingmen, there are six younger brothers and four younger sisters in Nandu, each worth 500,000 taels, totaling 5 million taels. Including your abdication fee, A total of fifteen million taels of silver."
"good!"
"You must also know that the Ministry of Revenue still owes Erchen a sum of money. Most of Erchen's working capital has been spent on many companies and projects, as well as purchasing slaves for the mine. It is a bit difficult to come up with this money at once. If you announce your abdication this year, I can first pay the money to your younger brothers and sisters, and your abdication fee can be paid before New Year's Day of the following year. If you agree to pay in installments, I will agree to what you mentioned before. Five conditions.”
"...Then we must establish a written document as proof!"
Chongzhen ascended the throne at the age of sixteen and has reigned for forty-four years this year.
And abdicating the throne after his sixtieth birthday in favor of someone more worthy can be regarded as a complete success.
If he lived ten more years and abdicated when he was seventy years old, his eldest son would be over fifty by then.
Chongzhen also planned to take his concubines to visit the beautiful mountains and rivers while his muscles and bones were still strong!
"Of course you can!"
A certain new emperor knew that the scapegoat's suspicion was still not over, and he seemed a little distrustful of himself, so he agreed.
Fifteen million taels of silver may seem like a lot, but in fact, one million slave miners could make it back in one year.
A certain new emperor is now the number one slave owner in the world, with more slaves than all slave owners combined except Ming Dynasty.
This is hard power. Others can only envy, envy, and hate you, and all your anger is in vain.
Unexpectedly, after recovering from a serious illness, he also received the good news that his scapegoat father would abdicate.
Although this is good news with a lot of money, it is enough to make a certain new emperor a little happy.
"Another point!"
"You say!"
"I hope you can treat the ministers of the Southern Court well!"
"Father, please rest assured that the Southern Court can still retain six departments. As long as it is necessary to maintain the operation of the campaign, the cabinet members can be transferred to the Northern Court to continue their duties."
As for how high an official one can become, it all depends on one's ability. A certain new emperor will not guarantee that certain people will continue to be ministers.
As for the brothers' fiefdoms, this is also easy to handle. There are currently four plots of land to choose from.
First, in the Indo-China Peninsula, whether it is Bangladesh or Cambodia, Wang Shi can directly defeat them.
Secondly, in the Western Region, that is, Yuzi west of Lake Balkhash, the place was large enough for the vassal king to wander around as he pleased.
The third one is in Xianbelia, where there are many trees and fish. Apart from being a bit cold, it’s actually pretty good.
Fourth, in East Africa, you can keep company with your neighbor Zheng. With Zheng Chenggong’s protection, the Jedi will not suffer in the future.
Of course, if you are willing, you can also go to South America and conquer Argentina, especially the rich estuary area of La Plata.
Whatever the brothers choose, that is their own business.
It’s okay if the blame-dropper makes the choice for them, and when the time comes, they can just go there and become a vassal.
When the dust settled and seeing the father and son reaching a settlement agreement, Zhou Yufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
My husband won't have to worry about trivial matters in the future, and I can avoid the pain of lovesickness. This is really the best thing.
If the eldest son spends money to buy the family to live in harmony and live together happily in the future, it means it is worth the money.
For a certain new emperor, there is another thing, which is to announce to the people outside in the tower of the palace that he has recovered.
This good news must not only be spoken personally, but also published in newspapers and widely publicized, lest it be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives.
According to Gong Yonggu's estimate, the total number of copies printed by his "Jingshi Daily" and "Empire Daily" alone must exceed 10 million.
A certain new emperor is critically ill, and the media can make money.
On the contrary, if you recover, the media can also make money!
Advertising fees have also tripled, which is really exciting!
Just like this, if you are not a strategic partner of the newspaper, you can't grab the page at all, and even the corners have been sold out.
Since there are telephones in Ouchi connected to the newspaper office, the transmission speed of news is very fast.
After a certain new emperor asked Gong Yonggu to make a phone call, the newspaper office had already started editing relevant articles.
The newspapers under the Ministry of Rites and the General Affairs Department were also very busy after being reminded by the chief assistant Du Yinxi.
For any media, Emperor Haojing's recovery is the best news in the world.
There are huge business opportunities in the news, and you would be sorry if you don't take advantage of them.
Even if you set a small goal, it must be to earn one hundred thousand taels of silver in three days.
However, all manuscripts must be submitted to a new emperor for review before they are allowed to be published.
So far, the Times category in Beijing is still dominated by four newspapers, making it easy to divide the cake.
There are other paper media, but they are all magazines, including military, entertainment, literature, history, geography, technology, sports, and even gambling.
After consideration, a certain new emperor decided to let the blame-sucking father plan to abdicate in favor of someone new to him. The news will be announced later.
In this way, the newspaper can make two copies of money...
In this way, I am one step closer to being a "perfect good person"!
Sure enough, the next day, the sales of the four major newspapers were crazy.
As soon as they left the printing factory, they were snapped up by vendors waiting at the door.
The price was fifteen cents per piece, but when demand exceeded supply, it directly became fifty cents per piece.
If you send it to other places for sale, it can easily be doubled or tripled, and you can sell it all. This is the easiest way to make quick money.
Will a certain new emperor stop these guys who speculate in newspapers?
of course not!
Because the printing factory has already formed several channels, it will basically not affect sales in the city.
Major cities along the railway line, such as Tianjin, Xuanfu, Datong, and even the Monan mining area, can read today's newspapers within three days.
I believe that the good news that a new emperor has returned with full health will make various goods manufactured in the customs even more popular!
Now a certain new emperor is the barometer of the Ming Dynasty. If he is fine, everything will be fine.
Otherwise, everyone will worry about the changing situation and have to buy less and save more.
The on-site speech was arranged for the third day, because today we have to meet with several groups of dignitaries, generals, merchants, ambassadors and foreign guests.
These people will visit a certain new emperor with gifts after he recovers, and by the way, they can get some hot products on the market.
On the contrary, it is here to pay homage and remember...
In view of the previous situation, it is estimated that many people are planning to order wreaths.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse, and now the wreaths turned into flower baskets.
The event to select girls with special figures can still be held as scheduled, and now that there is no concubine, it is like getting married again.
Inside and outside the palace, there are lights and colorful decorations, and everything is red paper, red flowers, and red cloth...
A certain new emperor did not intend to do this, but he could not withstand the insistence of his mother and wives.
The wives also whisper to themselves that they must go to bed early!
Terrible women...
You still have to eat the royal meal, but the wives cook it themselves.
In extraordinary times, I can only make do with some of the dark dishes of the lovely wives.
Xue Wanqing is a lady and is not good at this, but she has seven main wives and nearly twenty secondary wives, all of whom are good at cooking.
Now my mother's decision to recruit a daughter-in-law finally seems very wise. Without the royal chef, my wife will take over!
There are those who pick vegetables, those who chop them, those who stir-fry, and those who are responsible for controlling the heat.
I have to say, it’s great to have more wives, even the ones who wash the dishes after meals are prepared!
If he is poisoned again this time, he will be "bitten to the gills and killed"!
The ingredients of "Foster-Killed" were roughly analyzed before, and they should be puffer fish toxins.
A certain new emperor felt that the analysts should have observed it with their naked eyes and then guessed it with their brains.
You definitely can’t taste the contents of the pufferfish’s belly…
Can't it be a high-end product like Hedinghong?
He was KO'd by a pufferfish, where was his face?
As for the poisoning trio, one was killed by an accomplice and the other two have been on the run for a long time.
Now the factory guards and troops are stationed, and the Northern Court and the Southern Court are working together. Wolf dogs, airships, and armored ships are all used, but nothing has been achieved.
In this regard, a certain new emperor had to praise, if you are not useless, who will be? ? ?
Besides, if the two of them are worth 10 million, no bounty hunter would be tempted?
This matter needs to be discussed in the long term, and there is nothing the new emperor can do if he is anxious.
We must not forget that the most important thing this year is, of course, not the announcement that the scapegoat will abdicate in favor of someone more powerful, but the commissioning of the 7,000-ton Dingyuan ship.
Since Colbert, d'Estre, William II, Ruyter and others had all arrived in the northern capital, a certain new emperor could only invite them to participate in the first ship review.
Zheng Zhilong also came from Fujian despite his busy schedule, because half of the eight Dingyuan ships belonged to him.
For this huge ship, Zhen Haigong spent a lot of money back then, but now he finally sees the real thing and can take delivery.
Zheng Zhilong spent a lot of money to maintain a friendly relationship with Emperor Haojing for a long time, and this was one of the rewards.
Not only can you buy the world's top armored warships, but they are also at cost prices, and you can't find anyone else in the world.
Of course, as a minister, he could not wait in Tianjin. He had to come to Beidu to communicate with the two emperors.
Since the beautiful mother, aunt, and a group of aunts had never seen an armored ship, a certain new emperor took them with him, plus a group of his wives.
Someone also reimbursed all event expenses for this ship review, and a certain new emperor has already put the news in the newspaper.
Anyone with money and time can go to Tianjin to watch it during the holidays celebrating the Queen Mother’s birthday.
Of course, this in itself cannot make money. What really makes money is letting the wealthy people watch the entire ceremony.
The ticket price for boarding the first-class ironclad ship, Zhiyuan, is ten taels of silver per person.
The highest level four ironclad ship, Dingyuan, cost one hundred taels of silver per person.
This is still targeted ticket sales, and ordinary people are not eligible to buy tickets.
The ship review cannot be held every year. Now it is held every five or six years.
In the future, the construction period of giant ironclad ships, such as the fifth-level ironclad Bismarck, may be as long as eight to ten years.
This means that only ironclad ships can be held in service before a ship review can be held.
In normal times, there would be no such important event as the return of the expedition fleet, and a certain new emperor would not bother to hold a fleet review.
