The advantage of being far away from the capital is that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so the emperor has nothing to do and can do whatever he wants. But the disadvantage is that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the emperor cannot control it, and there is a lot of suspicion.
There are too many famous ministers and generals in history who "died rather than for their crimes". "Suspicion" is like a guillotine, very sharp.
Although Zhu Gui is a prince, he is also afraid.
It's okay to be criticized once or twice. After all, these days, there are too many trolls. They will troll you if you don't wear the right clothes, and you will be trolled if you look ugly. Who doesn't have a few kilograms of saliva hanging on his body when he is hanging around in the court?
Those with poor psychological quality would have gone home to farm early.
Those who stayed were either thick-skinned or shameless, and there were some who wanted shame but were still shameless.
Those who are shameless but thin-skinned will not be able to get into the Ming Dynasty officialdom.
Zhu Gui is a prince and more or less a member of the imperial court, so naturally he is not afraid of being criticized.
But it would be too dangerous for someone to write their own dark material over the years.
All the black materials have been sent to the capital, and I am still planting wheat in Datong.
The emperor was angry, and he was still watering the ground.
The emperor sent people here, but he was still harvesting wheat.
No one told him that he had been hacked, and he had no chance to defend himself. He could only get into the prison car and enjoy a three-month chartered tour.
Zhu Gui decided to leave early, return to the capital, and be a prince of peace. Even if he was criticized or sued, he would be able to hear the news to some extent and go to the palace immediately to explain clearly, so that he would not die.
"Your Majesty, Wu Ding Hou Guo Ying has a great talent and can protect Datong. I am of no use in Datong. It would be better for the Emperor to take back my subordinates' fiefdoms and grant permission for them to engage in business, so as to find a way out for my descendants."
Zhu Gui said firmly.
Seeing Zhu Gui's persistence, Zhu Yunwen looked at the other vassal kings and said, "Do you think I will agree or not?"
Zhu Di, Zhu Quan, Zhu Zhi and other vassal kings who dared to express this attitude all said: "Everything is decided by the emperor."
Zhu Yunwen chuckled and said: "Since Uncle Wang is willing to come to Beijing to accompany me more, I agree. As for the others, they should stay in their fiefdoms and guard the borders for the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing this, the hesitant vassal king suddenly stopped hesitating.
It's too shameful to be a businessman, so I'd better enjoy my glory at home.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the unmoved vassal king and just smiled lightly.
The early bird catches the worm. The earlier you start doing business, the greater your profits will be. After he has stabilized his internal affairs and laid a solid foundation, the generous treatment of these princes should be cut off. If he still wants to eat the food of the court every day without working, it can only be a delusion.
I am even prepared to make money to support my harem, why should you make an exception?
After the family banquet, Zhu Yunwen returned to Kunning Palace.
Ma Enhui has not rested yet. She is studying "Elementary Mathematics" and calculating on the paper with a brush.
Zhu Yunwen
Seeing this, he couldn't help but walked closer and said: "If you continue like this, I will call you the accounting queen from now on."
Ma Enhui stretched out her fist and threatened: "Dare you?"
Zhu Yunwen grabbed Ma Enhui's fist, held it in his arms, looked at Ma Enhui who was blushing with shame, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you dare to threaten the emperor, let's see how I deal with you."
"I don't have any..."
"Lying is an additional crime."
"I……"
Ma Enhui was speechless.
The night was quiet and the beauty was by his side, but Zhu Yunwen couldn't sleep no matter what.
King Yan surrendered, and King Liao, King Min, and King Dai gave up their fiefdoms and military power, but many vassal kings still controlled their fiefdoms.
Ning Wang Zhu Quan controls most of the area north of Peiping, Qing Wang Zhu Zhuan controls the Ningxia area, and Suzhuang Wang Zhu Mei controls Ganzhou, Shaanxi. These places are all important border defense areas and must be controlled in their own hands.
In addition to the northern border defense zone, there are also Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu from Kaifeng, Qi Wang Zhu Shu from Qingzhou, Shandong, and Lu Wang Zhu Tan from Yanzhou, Shandong. The places controlled by these people are also extremely important strategic areas.
Zhu Yunwen sat up, put on some clothes and walked out of Kunning Palace, looking at the starry sky with worry in his eyes.
The problems of the feudal lord are like blocks on the way forward. Unless they are kicked away, it will be impossible to make great strides forward.
Zhu Yunwen also knew that there were no technical difficulties in solving other vassal kings at the moment. The real difficulty was how to move the vassal kings without causing obvious impact.
It is a suitable way for the feudal king to engage in business.
But this method may not be suitable for all feudal kings.
If you want them to give up the fiefdom in their hands, you must give them benefits greater than the fiefdom.
In addition to doing business and selling goods, is there any other way to ensure that the feudal king has enough food and clothing, and that his descendants have a secure life?
Zhu Yunwen was thinking and walking, and before he knew it, he arrived at Chengqian Palace, where the sounds of weaving could be heard one after another.
"Let's go and see if Luo Cai is resting?"
Zhu Yunwen said to Shuangxi.
Shuangxi agreed and entered the Chengqian Palace. He walked out not long after and said, "Back to the emperor, Luo Cairen has gone to bed. Do you want to..."
"No need."
Zhu Yunwen walked into Chengqian Palace, motioned for others to continue weaving, and said to Qiao Hui, the maid beside Luo Cairen: "Find the weaving account book for me."
Qiao Hui quickly took out the account book and said carefully: "Your Majesty, the night is already deep, the dragon body is the best."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, there is no need to disturb Cai Ren, just wait aside."
Looking through the account books, Zhu Yunwen's thoughts were not in the account books at all. His ears were filled with the sound of weaving. He looked up at the rows of looms, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.
I am really confused. Three hundred and sixty lines, then
With so many businesses, is it not easy to support dozens of vassal kings?
After the vassal fiefdom was taken back, they lost their land, or the land in their hands was only purchased with money, and the amount was relatively small.
From this perspective, the primary industry has little to do with the feudal king.
Since the primary industry has not yet started, let’s develop the secondary and tertiary industries.
The secondary industry includes mining, manufacturing, electricity, gas and supply industries, and construction.
It is impossible to develop electricity, gas, etc. in this era.
Construction industry?
This seems to be nothing.
Every inch of land in the capital costs a lot of money, and a house costs at least two hundred taels. An ordinary large house costs at least a thousand taels. With the salary of an official, few people can afford it.
Siluke
Ordinary officials either rent a house in the city or go outside the city and buy a small house with half an area of land for two taels of silver.
Not to mention the modern times, the Song Dynasty period, which is highly praised by literati, was the same.
Su Dongpo's younger brother, Su Che, lived in poverty all his life and could not even afford a house. He was so poor that he finally wrote:
"My hair is half white, and there are no rafters in the world. I don't have a house when I am old, so people think it's just a lie."
That means, I’ve told you that I won’t have the money to buy a house when I get old, but you still don’t believe me?
But Su Che is not an exception. His father Su Xun doesn’t have a house either...
In addition, there is no real estate speculator group in Ming Dynasty, and the market potential of housing in school districts is just that. If the feudal lord is allowed to enter real estate, they will probably go bankrupt.
Doing a process of elimination, only mining and manufacturing remain.
Zhu Yunwen is going to arrange for Zhu Gui to start mining, so let's dig coal.
For things like coal, as much as it is produced and used, there is no need to consider market saturation yet.
In addition to burning coal for daily heating, where does melting copper, smelting iron, burning bricks, and ceramics do not require coal? Even to get some salt in some places, coal is needed as fuel.
What depresses Zhu Yunwen the most is that in the Ming Dynasty, only a small number of coal mines had government qualifications. Most of them were private coal mines. The so-called "people mined their own coal", and the government only collected taxes.
In this case, let's set up a state-owned enterprise, where private and state-owned enterprises coexist, and the vassal king's future is settled first.
Only when these feudal princes engaged in business or industry become prosperous and live a good life will those princes take the initiative to hand over their fiefdoms and engage in commercial property.
This is the real strategy to reduce the feudal lordship!
We don't play to cut down the vassal, we play to plot.
If you follow me, you can eat meat. If you don't follow me, you can only drink soup.
Although I won’t starve you to death, don’t even think about being comfortable.
Zhu Yunwen, who had found a solution, finally let go of the stone in his heart. He was thinking about whether Zhu Gui could drag a few feudal kings into the mines. When he looked up and saw Luo Cairen, he couldn't help but smile: "Luo Cairen, look at me. Isn’t that too rude?”
