Li Qing nodded: "This is indeed a problem."
"How to solve it?" Zhu Jianshen asked.
"In fact, it's not that difficult." Li Qing said, "The Ming Dynasty didn't even have a prime minister. It can be said that in terms of centralization of power, it is the best in history. Even if the wealthy gentry grows up, it will be difficult to overpower the imperial power."
"What if?"
Zhu Jianshen's eyes were dark.
He is the emperor, and in his eyes, everything must be compromised for imperial power.
"If anything happens, I'll take care of it." Li Qing said.
"How do you solve it?"
"Kill!" Li Qing said calmly, "I will definitely punish those who are really ambitious and want to use business to disrupt government."
Zhu Jianshen shook his head: "Not to mention whether you can do it or not, your energy is limited after all. How can you understand everything?"
"It's not difficult. Behemoths can never hide." Li Qing said, "I will always pay attention to the temple affairs, so you can rest assured."
Zhu Jianshen frowned and thought for a long time, then said: "I know you have the ability, but... it might be okay at the beginning. Once people become wary, recruit bodyguards to protect the hospital..."
"You can't stop me!" Li Qing interrupted him and said confidently: "Let me tell you this, in terms of personal bravery, you can regard me as half a god."
"What's the meaning?"
Li Qing raised his fist and said, "I can hit a thousand ordinary people with one hand!"
"boast!"
How could Zhu Jianshen believe it?
He knew that Li Qing was powerful, but he didn't believe that Li Qing was that powerful. If that were the case, wouldn't it be possible for Li Qing to do the job of sweeping the Jurchen Liting in Jianzhou back then?
"You do not trust me?"
"You are too outrageous." Zhu Jianshen shook his head slightly.
After a pause, he said, "Why don't the court do it themselves?"
"What do you think?"
"I..." Zhu Jian was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the key.
After all, things have to be left to the people below, and with their official background, they are even more comfortable and even unscrupulous in squeezing the people.
In the end, the court may not necessarily benefit much, and even a good national policy may harm the people.
Another one, what if the court still invests and loses money?
It is far better to let the wealthy gentry do it themselves, and it is more convenient for the court to collect taxes.
Finally, there is a more important reason. If we are really at the end of our rope in the future, we can directly take advantage of the big players, but what if the big player is ourselves?
What a fart!
Working part-time is far less efficient than starting a business, and Zhu Jianshen understands this.
If the imperial court does it itself and lets the officials below manage it, their first priority is to make money. If it is directly decentralized, they will think of expanding the scale, becoming bigger and stronger, and working hard to make money.
Zhu Jianshen knew a lot about internal circulation and had little understanding of global economic theory, but one thing he understood was that the development of business would allow many people to have a job and earn wages.
Zhu Jianshen said in deep thought: "I still feel there are some risks. You should change your mind and come up with a foolproof strategy!"
"There is no perfect strategy in this world!" Li Qing shook his head and said, "Such low risks and high returns are very valuable. You can't be too greedy."
Zhu Jianshen's face heated up and he said sarcastically: "Others can't figure it out, but who are you? I have confidence in you."
"Haha." Li Qing sneered, "If you do this, then there is nothing I can do, so I'll take my leave."
"No, no, no, no, no..." Zhu Jianshen said hurriedly, "Please take out the needle first!"
"Pull it out yourself." Li Qing didn't even look back.
Zhu Jianshen was anxious, "Okay, I didn't say I wouldn't agree."
Li Qing paused in his steps, turned around, and stepped forward with a smile. "Look, you have already been like this. If you insist on making me angry, how can it be easy for me? I..."
Barabara...
The noisy Zhu Jianshen felt a headache.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Zhu Jianshen asked, "Where do you plan to start?"
"Baoding Mansion." Li Qing said.
"The Shen family?"
"Not bad!" Li Qing nodded, "The Shen family is quite wealthy and has a clean foundation. It is right under their noses. It is easy to control and observe the pros and cons. It is really the best choice for the pilot project."
Zhu Jianshen nodded slightly, "That's true."
"So, you agree?"
Zhu Jianshen twisted his neck back and glanced at his back.
Li Qing understood the idea and immediately took off the silver needles one by one.
Zhu Jianshen got up from the bed, put on his cotton robe, straightened his clothes, and then said:
"Ang, I agree, let's start with the Shen family first, see the effect first, if it doesn't work, then think of another way, if the effect is considerable, then gradually let go."
After a pause, "When it's really too late, no measures will work. The only feasible method is your most violent method, killing people directly!
But..." Zhu Jianshen said, "By then, the children of those families will have entered official careers, and the court... and even the emperor will most likely not be able to help you, and you will have to do it yourself. "
Li Qing smiled and said: "Of course I understand this. Don't worry, I will watch over them and never let them turn the world upside down."
"Oh, okay." Zhu Jianshen sighed, "I can't see that day anyway, you can do it yourself. I just ask you not to mess it up."
Li Qing said softly: "I am more cautious than you."
Zhu Jianshen glanced at him and did not refute, just said: "When do you plan to start?"
"Let's celebrate the New Year." Li Qing said.
"Well..." Zhu Jian thought for a while and said, "I basically don't care about anything now. You can follow Youtang..."
"I don't want the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to know my secret anymore." Li Qing interrupted him, "The problems that the Ming Dynasty will face in the future can no longer be properly solved by the court. On the contrary, they will restrict me in the court."
Zhu Jianshen pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will be your mouthpiece."
After a pause, "However, I don't know how long I can continue to serve as a mouthpiece."
Li Qing comforted him: "I've told you many times that you are far from reaching your end. Just calm down and live a good life. Living for ten or eight years is not a dream."
"Haha..." Zhu Jianshen shook his head and laughed, "I don't expect that much, just live one day at a time."
Changing the topic, he added: "If you really feel sorry for me, then quickly prepare the prescription for me. I have lost my confidence recently."
Li Qing: "...Okay, I'll go back and get it for you."
"Yes." Zhu Jianshen was overjoyed, and his proud expression made Li Qing seriously suspect that his sentimentality just now was just an act.
"Wait, then."
Li Qing said angrily and turned around to leave.
…
Phew~
The first step went smoothly... Li Qing let out a long sigh of relief.
After convincing Zhu Jianshen, we can start work after the new year.
After taking Zhu Jianshen idle for a year, he also wanted to do something.
In fact, he quite likes to keep himself busy, so that he won't be too bored and time will pass faster.
However, he ignored that time passed quickly and had no effect on him because his time was too long.
When we left the palace, it was almost noon.
Li Qing went to the vegetable market and bought a pound of mutton and a head of cabbage, and then went to the grain and oil store to buy a small bag of flour.
The plan that has been brewing for a long time has finally reached the first step. Let’s celebrate by eating dumplings.
Li Qing is relatively lazy. Unless the mood strikes, he will either go hungry or go to restaurants or restaurants to eat. Under normal circumstances, he rarely cooks alone.
When I got home, it was already three quarters past noon.
This was also the time of day when the sun was at its strongest, so Li Qing got together in the courtyard, humming a little tune and taking a leisurely stroll.
He was in a good mood. Everything was difficult at the beginning, but now that he had started, everything would be much easier later on.
Finally, we are one step closer to industrialization.
Cultivating capital and vigorously developing industry is the path that Ming Dynasty must take, because this is the best way Li Qing can think of.
Only in this way can the whole world be harvested.
Li Qing is very confident.
The opening up of sea trade for so many years has led to many industrial chains, laid an industrial foundation, and has also sprouted capital. As long as we take advantage of the situation, Ming Dynasty will embark on a new path.
This giant ship will reach its biggest turning point.
Li Qing knew that as long as this was done well, the direction of history could be changed!
'Dang Dang Dang...'
"The door is unlocked, come in." Li Qing said and continued to make noodles.
After a while, Wang Shouren stepped forward and saw Li Qing making peace with him. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Sir, can you do this?"
"There are so many skills, so it's not overwhelming." Li Qing nodded happily, "You practice on your own first, and I'll teach you when I'm done."
"I'm not in a hurry," Wang Shouren asked with a smile, "Sir, are you... steaming steamed buns?"
"No, make dumplings." Li Qing said.
"Your identity... are you going to do it yourself?" Wang Shouren was puzzled. He knew Li Qing's identity, so he found it even more incredible.
The dignified Marquis Yongqing actually made dumplings himself?
Having eaten hot pot before, it was still understandable, because hot pot is a semi-service buffet, and you can make dumplings...
The sense of dissonance is too great!
The dignified Marquis Yongqing actually knows this skill?
Judging from his face-to-face attitude, it really looked like that.
"Sir, why don't you hire a maid?" Wang Shouren said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about the secret being exposed. You can replace her with another one after a while, no problem."
"waste money."
"..." Wang Shouren was funny, "I can't tell, sir, he is quite frugal."
Li Qing smiled and said: "Otherwise, where do you think my huge family fortune came from?"
"Ah, yes, yes." Wang Shouren nodded in amusement, "By the way, sir, can you tell me the hot pot recipe from last time?"
"What? Not satisfied?"
"Yeah." Wang Shouren said: "Not only me, but my dad is also very greedy. Today's lunch is hot pot. However, the taste is far inferior to what we ate here that day, and the dipping sauce..."
As he spoke, Wang Shouren swallowed and remembered the spicy and delicious smell that day.
"It's easy. I'll make a list for you later. Just follow it and make sure it tastes the same." Li Qing said with a smile, picked up the dough, threw it down, and kneaded it again.
Wang Shouren asked strangely: "Sir, you are in such a good mood, but there is something happy?"
"Well, there's a happy event." Li Qing wiped the flour off his hands and said, "It's a huge happy event."
"Can you tell me?"
Li Qing smiled and said: "Today we took the first step to solve the problems that Ming Dynasty will face in the future."
