"Xiao Haizi, get up!" The Queen Mother looked at the Grand Eunuch, the steward, who kept kowtowing on the ground, and finally stopped him from kowtowing with some annoyance.
As for the Grand Eunuch, his previous kowtow was unambiguous at all. When he raised his head, blood was already seeping from his forehead.
"Let the emperor come in first. It just so happens that I also have some questions to ask him." In the end, the Queen Mother decided to follow the advice of the Grand Duke and listen to Zhu Jingxuan's money-making ideas before talking about anything else.
Soon, Zhu Jingxuan, who was waiting outside Changle Palace, saw the Grand Eunuch, the steward, with blood stains on his forehead.
"The Grand Eunuch, what are you doing..."
Zhu Jingxuan looked at the Grand Eunuch's forehead in surprise - he was just repeating his idea of making money. According to how favored the Grand Eunuch was in front of the Queen Mother, it should not be like this!
Glancing at the surprised expression on Zhu Jingxuan's face, the Grand Eunuch, the steward, just whispered, "You will benefit from it later," and then asked Zhu Jingxuan to follow him into Changle Palace.
Therefore, Zhu Jingxuan, who was full of doubts, followed the Grand Eunuch in charge and entered Changle Palace again.
"My son, I pay my respects to my mother!"
Zhu Jingxuan entered Changle Palace and immediately paid homage to the Queen Mother.
"Get up!" The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to help Zhu Jingxuan. After Zhu Jingxuan stood up, she couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Haizi said that you have some money-making ideas, so you might as well talk to the Ai family in detail."
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Zhu Jingxuan was slightly startled, and then realized that the "Xiao Haizi" in the Queen Mother's mouth should be the Grand Eunuch in charge.
With no expression on his face, Zhu Jingxuan repeated the method of making money that he had previously proposed to the Grand Eunuch.
"The Ai family roughly understands what my son means, but there is a problem." After listening to Zhu Jingxuan's story, the Queen Mother's first thought was to ensure her authority, "If the Ai family If you are angry with a certain little eunuch, for example, the little Dezi from before tried to sow discord among the Tian family, there is absolutely no room for escape. If the Ai family has just spoken out to deal with him, someone will be asked to come to the Ai family. , let the Ai family let Xiao Dezi go, shouldn’t the Ai family still have to pinch their noses and let go of such a traitor who is inciting familial ties with the Tian family?”
Zhu Jingxuan understood the meaning of the Queen Mother's words - if the eunuchs in the palace, because they paid their dues in the "Mutual Aid Association", they believed that they had a gold medal to avoid death, so they acted without scruples, even for her, the dignified Queen Mother. Even if she dares to disobey orders, the only thing that will be damaged is her reputation as the Queen Mother!
Regarding this, Zhu Jingxuan just had a thought in his mind and already thought of a solution.
"Mother, this is what I think. The nobles in the palace cannot be humiliated by ignorant servants. Therefore, if the mutual aid association cannot save the people in the palace, then the mutual aid association will refund a certain amount of membership fees. , and the dues will be sent to the family of the deceased. As for the expenses required in the process, the mutual aid association will be responsible for all!" Zhu Jingxuan replied.
Regarding Zhu Jingxuan's answer, the Queen Mother seemed not very satisfied: "Refunding all dues, and even sending people to return the dues to his family... Then how much money do we make?"
"We naturally earn more dues from the eunuchs to pay!" After Zhu Jingxuan replied to the Queen Mother, he immediately reminded the Queen Mother very carefully, "In addition, when the mutual aid association cannot save the eunuchs' lives, they will refund the dues. At the same time, we are also responsible for returning this part of the dues to the eunuch’s family. This will undoubtedly make these eunuchs feel more confident about paying their dues to us. Therefore, we must not do anything bad because of this small profit. Won word of mouth!”
After hearing Zhu Jingxuan's words, the Queen Mother couldn't help but nodded slightly, which seemed to be her approval of Zhu Jingxuan's words.
"Then... if a certain young eunuch made many mistakes, the Mutual Aid Association rescued him several times, but the last time, he was killed by others - if this is the case, do we still need to refund all the dues? If all of it is returned, wouldn't the previous rescue efforts of our mutual aid association have been in vain?" The Queen Mother began to worry about the things that had been done in vain.
"After reporting back to my mother, we can determine a minimum 'limit' after collecting the membership fees. That is, if we pay this amount of membership fees every month, our mutual aid association will only help you once a year. If we want to get more help, we need to raise funds. , In addition, the mutual aid association can also adopt a 'monthly payment' mechanism. If payment is not made in a certain month, the mutual aid association will not help unless the entire amount owed is paid in one go..." Zhu Jingxuan said a lot of supplementary terms on this matter. Come.
Hearing that Zhu Jingxuan was so professional, the Queen Mother immediately felt relieved - since the emperor understands so well, why not let the emperor take care of Xiao Haizi, help him with ideas, etc., and strive to successfully handle this so-called " Mutual Aid Society”!
At the same time, the Grand Eunuch, who was familiar with the Queen Mother, saw that the Queen Mother seemed to be in a very happy mood. He immediately felt something in his heart and said with a chuckle: "Just now, His Majesty also said that in addition to establishing this so-called ' In addition to the mutual aid association, we can also take on some private work. For example, if an official in the court commits a crime, please entrust us to our side. We will help run the operation, save his life or even obtain an official position. The other party will give us the corresponding life money. '..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Queen Mother, whose expression suddenly changed: "Presumptuous! Ridiculous! Isn't this the 'criminal silver' of the previous dynasty? One of the reasons for the demise of the previous dynasty was because of this. Therefore, the Taizu of this dynasty learned the lessons of the previous dynasty and deliberately left his ancestral precepts not to allow the establishment of a 'crime-discussing bank'. Anyone who dares to propose this will be attacked by the whole country... Do you also dare to propose such a system? I really don’t want my life!”
"Mother, what you said is wrong!" Regarding the Queen Mother's words, Zhu Jingxuan's expression looked very calm, fully showing his demeanor of betraying his father and not feeling hurt, "To say it is treason, now, all the people in the world are raising their heads. I hope that a real 'wise king' will ascend the throne. As for Da Qian, sooner or later he will be swept into the garbage dump of history. As for ancestral precepts and so on... How much is that kind of thing worth? Rather than being bound by it, it is better to take advantage of it. It still has some value, so if we exchange it for some money, we can provide subsidies for our future life... right?"
Looking at Zhu Jingxuan's extremely indifferent expression, the Queen Mother and the Grand Duke couldn't help but feel a little dumb for a moment.
