Queen Ma glanced sideways at Zhu Yuanzhang.
She was silent for a moment and said: "Black-hearted, cunning, profit-seeking and hoarding.
Since ancient times, this businessman has not had a good reputation.
When they are mentioned, the people gnash their teeth with hatred.
To be honest, we hate it too. "
These words reached Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang also hated businessmen.
These people only have money in their eyes, they have a copper heart and a copper lung, and they have no human heart at all.
As long as they can make money, they dare to do anything, completely ignoring people's livelihood and laws.
"But." Queen Ma changed her voice, "Businessmen are indeed full of money, but they can also mobilize the economy and promote the development of the country. They are indispensable." Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's brows that had just relaxed wrinkled again, Ma The queen explained unhurriedly, "Our Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and abundant resources. It can't even be walked from east to west in a month. Our Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population, which is a good thing. But there is also a problem. In such a large area, it is difficult to eat What should I do if I wear it?
The emperor might say that it is available locally. But if there are more locally, how many can there be? Take this box of fragrant powder as an example. We remember that the box of fragrant powder was offered by Jiangnan, right? We belong to the Heavenly Family, and we have our own officials to offer sacrifices, but what about the people? I eat radishes and leeks every day, but if I want to eat winter melon and watermelon one day, do I have to walk for several months to buy it? By the time they buy it, it will be gone.
The usefulness of this businessman is reflected here.
They carried what the east house had to the west house, and what the west house had to the east house. Just like the ants, moving around day and night, the money naturally followed them.
If a place wants to prosper, it cannot do so without businessmen. "
While Queen Ma was speaking, she secretly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang thinking deeply, he knew that he had listened to what he said.
But judging from his expression, I'm afraid he still doesn't agree.
Chu Ze used the reason of coming to thank her today to find her and showed her his schedule.
To be honest, she thought it was pretty good.
But as Zhu Yuanzhang's pillow, she knew better that it was not that easy to pass Chu Ze's terms.
Sure enough, Chu Ze told her the news that Zhu Yuanzhang had left Tiao Chengliuzhong.
After hearing this, Queen Ma understood in her heart.
Chu Ze came to ask her for help.
This is what Zhu Yuanzhang saw just now.
Seeing the hesitation on Zhu Yuanzhang's face getting worse, Empress Ma continued: "Chongba, we know what you are worried about. But people, in all walks of life, there are good and bad. Businessmen do wrong and do evil, then Let's just put some restrictions on it. An industry cannot represent one person's behavior. Let's not mention it at all, let's talk about Shen Wansan, this person... Ouch, ouch, let's not mention it, I'm poking at you again with my mouth My heart is in knots."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's brows suddenly turned cold, Queen Ma suddenly woke up.
Her example was too inappropriate.
Although Shen Wansan built the city wall for them, he was later sent to the army by Zhu Yuanzhang.
If he mentioned it now, wouldn't it just poke a hole in his heart?
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Queen Ma fiercely, snorted coldly, stood up and walked away.
When he was about to reach the door, Queen Ma said respectfully from behind, "Farewell to the Emperor." Before Zhu Yuanzhang could get angry, Queen Ma immediately followed: "How about eating leek pie tonight?"
"..." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "We want to eat sesame cakes!"
"Okay, I'll do it for you myself."
Zhu Yuanzhang was happy.
Chu Ze was also happy.
But someone is unhappy.
In other words, many people were unhappy, and the first ones to bear the brunt were the craftsmen hired by Hu Weiyong.
After they made the telescope, they were appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and an area was specially assigned to them for them to work.
This kind of honor is not something ordinary people can have.
As a result, only a few days later, his credit was taken away by others.
A group of people rushed to Hu Weiyong's mansion angrily and demanded that Hu Weiyong make the decision for them.
Hu Weiyong frowned and pondered for a long time, then said with a face full of embarrassment: "I'm afraid this won't work."
"why not!"
"Sir, we were all invited by you. We became famous, and it was you who were praised by outsiders for our talent. Now our finished product has been plagiarized by others. It is not ours, it is stolen. My lord, your honor, can your lord really endure it?”
Hu Weiyong rolled his eyes silently in his heart.
Which of the evil things Chu Ze did to him was not worse than someone plagiarizing a work?
He wasn't in a hurry, so what were these people in a hurry for?
Stealing his honor is really alarmist.
Hu Weiyong's face looked a little ugly.
The lid of the teacup fell with a loud bang, and the crisp sound made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
The man who screamed the loudest just now subconsciously closed his mouth.
Hu Weiyong lazily raised his eyelids, glanced at them indifferently, and said: "I understand that you are anxious, but this matter is beyond our control. We are just a minister, and you are not our direct subordinates. Even if you encounter grievances, , you have to go to your direct superior, or you can go and meet the emperor."
At this point, Hu Weiyong's dislike became more and more obvious.
These people used to lament how powerful they were, but in the end, when they were in front of the emperor, they didn't even have anything to hold them back.
Chu Ze now has a testing ground in his hands, but what about these people?
Nothing.
But Hu Weiyong is not in a hurry.
Now that they can create telescopes, they can create other, better things.
And he is now constantly looking for talent.
If these people are really useless, let them exert their final value.
For example, discredit Chu Ze.
And what happened this time was just the beginning.
Hu Weiyong looked at these villains who had gained power and hinted: "Chu Ze belongs to the emperor. Even if he does something, the emperor must deal with it personally."
These people looked at each other in shock after hearing this.
"What do you mean, sir, that we have to go to the emperor about this matter?"
Hu Weiyong nodded: "Yes."
"But we don't have this right." They have no official positions, how could they be so scared to see the emperor.
Hu Weiyong can help them with this.
Hu Weiyong said: "We can talk about this for you, but whether it can be done depends on your own ability."
Hu Weiyong has said this, how can anyone else have any opinions?
A group of people left with smiles on their faces.
After leaving the Hu Mansion, the person who spoke the loudest patted the shoulder of the person next to him and said, "Old Zhou, we are here to stand up for you this time. You must not forget this feeling."
The man known as Lao Zhou nodded and said: "Don't worry, everyone, when this matter is implemented, everything you want will come true."
"Would you like the thing you are making now?"
Lao Zhou gritted his teeth: "Okay."
