"Expand the scale?" The Grand Eunuch, the general manager, showed an extremely disappointed look at Zhu Jingxuan's proposal, "Only those father-in-laws with some real power have some oil and water in their hands, and then the little eunuchs can have it." How much is it?”
"What the Grand Eunuch said is wrong!" Zhu Jingxuan shook his head gently and said, "Maybe a little eunuch can give you a small amount of money to pay tribute to you, but thousands of little eunuchs can pay tribute to you every month. The money in it is not a small amount..."
Seeing that the Grand Eunuch, the steward, still had a nonchalant look on his face, Zhu Jingxuan immediately decided to let "numbers" speak.
"The Grand Eunuch, let me calculate an account for you. We won't talk about the miscellaneous things for each little eunuch. Speaking of moon silver alone, each little eunuch has two taels of moon silver. If a little eunuch is , I will give you one tael of silver every month to honor you, the chief steward, and those ten thousand little eunuchs will pay you ten thousand taels of silver every month, which is 120,000 taels of silver a year!" Zhu Jingxuan used a kind of temptation. The sexual tone tempted the steward to be fair, "What's more important is that for those little eunuchs, the things they ask you for are basically just a matter of one sentence. You just move your mouth." , can you get such a large amount of income every month, isn’t it easier than the time and effort you spent on chewing those hard bones before?”
"More than just relaxing? I work hard every year to help them with their affairs, but I can't earn so much money!" The Grand Eunuch, the steward, heard Zhu Jingxuan's words and couldn't help but murmured softly.
Regarding the Grand Eunuch's words, Zhu Jingxuan couldn't help showing a confused expression: No, 120,000 taels of silver is a lot, but as the Grand Eunuch next to the Queen Mother, in this palace, you are worth less than ten thousand taels. There are people above all others, even in the court, who want to find ways to get in touch with you. As a result, you have been working so hard for a year and can't even earn 120,000 taels of silver. Then you, the general manager, How did you become a father-in-law?
The Grand Eunuch, the steward, did not notice Zhu Jingxuan's expression. At this time, he was stunned by the figure of "120,000 taels of silver." As for the chief eunuch named Xiao Dezi... No, Xiao Dezi was Who? So unfamiliar!
At this time, the expression on the face of the Grand Eunuch, the steward, was no longer as cold as before. At this time, he was staring at Zhu Jingxuan with eyes as if he were looking at gold: "Your Majesty, could you please elaborate? As you said, this is a huge sum of money, but how can we make those little eunuchs willingly hand over their moon silver to us? Your Majesty needs to know that if so many people are forced to take it, Money, if you don’t handle it well, it will cause big trouble!”
"It's very simple, show off and promote. As long as you can do these two things, then you won't have to worry about those little eunuchs not obediently handing over the money to you!" Zhu Jingxuan said confidently.
"Then how should we put on a show... and publicize it?" The Grand Eunuch, the steward, bowed his body humbly and took the initiative to seek advice from Zhu Jingxuan.
"Grand Steward, don't be like this!" Zhu Jingxuan quickly helped the Grand Steward, and then he didn't show off, and immediately gave a very detailed explanation to the Grand Steward, "First of all, Grand Steward, you can choose some that you think are obedient. , useful eunuchs, form a... let's call it a mutual aid guild, which means a guild that helps each other... The name is not the point, the point is that after the guild is established, you have to arrange some 'accidents', for example, a small The eunuch committed a crime and must be punished, but because he paid his dues in the mutual aid association, you, the Grand Master, personally went to help make things right and saved his life... Prepare for a few more such 'accidents' , and then solve these 'accidents', and then you will secretly promote the benefits of paying membership dues. When the time comes, with the endorsement of your name by the Grand Master, are you still afraid that you will not be able to collect the membership dues? "
Hearing Zhu Jingxuan's words, the Grand Eunuch in charge knew that he was completely moved, but there were still some issues that needed to be considered clearly.
"Your Majesty, with thousands of young eunuchs paying their dues together, there will be a lot of things that need to be done every day. I am afraid that I will be too busy!" The Grand Eunuch, the steward, asked Zhu Jingxuan for a solution.
"This is simple. Before the guild was founded, you needed people to promote it and open up the situation, so you only need to perform a few shows in person. After the guild is on the right track, you can leave the things that need peace to others to complete!" Zhu Jingxuan He gave a solution nonchalantly. As for other problems caused by this solution, we will wait until they are encountered. Otherwise, I gave him an idea. If the two of them have no intersection in the future, how can he solve it? Is the relationship between the two of them tied together?
"If you form such a guild in the palace, if people notice it, the consequences will be very bad, right?" The Grand Eunuch, the steward, once again asked a question that he was worried about.
"This is simple...don't you have the trust of the Empress Dowager? If you can get her endorsement, then whose criticism are you afraid of?" Zhu Jingxuan reminded.
"Let the Queen Mother endorse it?"
The Grand Eunuch, who was shocked by Zhu Jingxuan's proposal, immediately hesitated: It was not because he was worried that the Queen Mother would not agree to endorse it, but because if the Queen Mother endorsed it, wouldn't everyone be in the Queen Mother's favor? hand?
When the Grand Steward expressed his thoughts to Zhu Jingxuan in a low and cryptic voice, Zhu Jingxuan chuckled and reassured the Grand Steward: "Grand Steward, you can take a longer view... This model can be more than just It can be implemented in the palace. I remember that during the previous dynasty, there seemed to be an official system similar to this, called...criminal silver!"
"Discussing the crime? This old slave knows that I have heard about this before." The Grand Eunuch, the steward, nodded immediately, and then said with admiration, "It seems that it is better to study more. The more you read and the faster your brain works, the more money you can earn... The hard-earned money earned by an old slave like this after a year of hard work is not as much as your majesty's idea!"
"The Grand Eunuch, the steward, is joking. I am the one who came up with the idea. If I want to form this guild in the palace, I need your efforts, the Grand Eunuch, the steward. I can't help you in this regard!" Zhu Jingxuan He sighed with some regret.
"Your Majesty can give me advice, and I am already grateful. How dare I make any further requests?" The Grand Eunuch, the steward, chuckled quickly and bowed his head in salute.
