Liu Haojia immediately asked: "So, the princes have agreed to the request of the subordinates?"
The British Duke looked at the people around him again and said: "There should be no problem, but we may have to discuss it separately in the next few days."
Liu Haojia understood what he meant, which was to discuss how to cooperate with people close to him. After all, nobles and nobles are not monolithic, and naturally they are divided into close relatives and distant relatives.
And this is also a good opportunity for them to win over the small nobles and strengthen their respective strengths! Moreover, after the team is assembled, they will have a slight collision with each other to determine the ownership of the market. These are things we should avoid.
At this time, Liu Haojia said seriously: "Masters of the country, this matter is very important. It affects whether all the arrangements of Long Live Lord can go smoothly, so the time is very tight! In a month and a half at most, we will have to deal with this matter. Set it down! This includes the distribution of each province!"
Several princes looked at each other again, wondering what kind of evil Emperor Wanli wanted to do? But they also knew that no matter what Emperor Wanli wanted to do, he would definitely not be able to get around the young man in front of him! And maybe he is the mastermind behind it!
From their previous understanding of him and their recent brief contact, they have discovered that this young man is determined and quick-thinking. Even if they ask, they can't get anything out of him, so they might as well not ask at all! In the future, when he needs help, help him if you can, and let him receive a favor, or in other words, return a favor to yourself!
Thinking of this, the three Kuomintang and Communists nodded in agreement, saying that they would complete the deployment on time. Upon seeing this, Liu Haojia calmed down and immediately began to pour wine and serve dishes diligently. The whole private room became full of laughter again! They even asked about Liu Hao's family's marriage, as if they wanted to act as a matchmaker for him!
And when the three people just found out that Liu Haojia's fiancée was just the daughter of a merchant, they all expressed their dissatisfaction! At the same time, they also said that there were many women waiting to be married among their relatives, and they could let Liu Haojia take a look at them! In the end, Liu Haojia had to pretend that the two were childhood sweethearts to get through!
All in all, this meal was a feast for both the guest and the host! When the three of them left, they all greeted Liu Hao's family and asked him to come to the house for a walk if he had nothing to do. Liu Haojia naturally agreed.
After several people had just left, Zhang Jia, who had been silent for a long time, took a deep breath and said, "Our family was still thinking about how difficult it would be to handle this matter, but we didn't expect that these princes are so rich and yet they still have black eyes. Bai Yinzi! When he saw the profit, he agreed to anything!"
Liu Haojia said with a smile: "Zhang Banban, isn't this a good thing! Having them help us make money can also bring the nobles closer to the Long Live Lord, and it can also allow them to unite and achieve three goals with one stone!"
In the days that followed, people in the capital strangely discovered that the nobles who had been so quiet in the past seemed to become active! They kept moving around each other, communicating with each other, and even kept running horses to and from the capital, as if they were planning something!
This sudden change made civil servants much more vigilant! They still don't know why Xungui suddenly became active? So they began to use various channels to find out what happened among the nobles.
After all, Xungui has been extremely well-behaved in the past many years. Under the pressure of the civil servant group, too much power was given away! Are they already preparing for a counterattack?
The news was quickly obtained by the civil servants, but when they saw the specific news, they were stunned in surprise at first, and then their eyes turned red! Because Liu Haojia is actually willing to come up with the method of making glass and let the nobles cooperate to open workshops and stores across the country! This is clearly a way to give the nobles a way to make money!
In fact, it is not surprising that the civil servants got the news, because it is impossible for Xungui to completely seal himself off. He wanted to maintain existing rights and conduct commercial activities, all of which required cooperation with civilian officials. Moreover, they themselves supported and trained a group of civil servants.
In fact, even though civil servants are powerful, they are very envious of nobles! The specific manifestation is that if they have the opportunity to be knighted, they will never let it go! Because in the Ming Dynasty, apart from the royal family, only nobles could ensure the long-term existence of the family!
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many nobles have been ennobled by successive emperors. Although basically only a small number of them are Spylords who can retire with the country, most of them are of the first generation or can only be passed down for several generations.
Needless to say, Spyker is one with Ming Dynasty. As long as Daming is around for one day, they can live a good life! Therefore, the family that obtains the noble title will also try to extend the time it takes for them to become commoners.
Under normal circumstances, they will use two methods to extend the existence of their family. The first way is to try to please the emperor! As long as he speaks Chrysostom, everything will be no problem! But this approach rarely succeeds.
So more often than not, they will adopt the second method, which is to persuade the court to pass on their titles to their grandchildren before they die! As long as their grandchildren are healthy and live long enough, there will be no problem at all in passing on a distinguished person who has passed away for three generations for more than a hundred years!
But civil servants are different! Most families of civil servants are like a wave, they often rise and fall because of people!
When a civil servant occupies a high position, his family will rise rapidly and occupy huge resources! But when this official loses his official position or dies, if no one of his descendants becomes an official of sufficient importance, then the family will decline rapidly!
If they are lucky, the younger generations can maintain their family in a relatively stable state by virtue of their status as scholars. If there are no successful people in the younger generation, this family will soon disappear completely!
Moreover, when the civil servants faced off against the nobles, they could only be said to have the upper hand overall and were able to suppress the nobles. It is impossible to completely eliminate the nobles. Even they themselves are still pursuing to become new nobles!
The reason for this is very simple. If the Ming Dynasty is compared to a big family, the royal family is the head of the family, and the nobles are the brothers of the head of the family! As for civil servants, they are more like housekeepers and accountants at all levels!
Perhaps the head of the family and his brothers are not good at management, and the entire family must rely on the housekeeper and accountants. But once they reveal their coveting of the family, the head of the family and his brothers will jointly fight back!
