In the hotel room.
"Bowen, I'm not blind yet, so there's no need to flatter me like this."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said this, but his face showed great pleasure.
Liu Bowen, who was a man of nature, also replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am an idle man in the countryside now, and everything he said was from the bottom of his heart."
"You!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and did not continue to struggle, but said: "Bo Wen, do you think the taboo about this surname mentioned by Su Jing needs to be abolished?"
Sure enough, Su Jing's previous words still left a deep impression on Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
Liu Bowen just thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's necessary."
"oh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang became interested and asked: "Do you think what Su Jing said is wrong? I think what he said is very good."
Although Liu Bowen has been given back, in Lao Zhu's heart, Liu Bowen has always been his Liu Zifang.
Liu Bowen's words are still quite heavy.
If Liu Bowen supported Su Jing at this time, he would also consider it.
Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister also agrees with what Su Jing said, but it is very troublesome. If it is to be abolished, I am afraid that there will be another dispute between the DPRK and China."
"The Ming Dynasty was plagued by foreign aggression. Even if this matter is accomplished, the benefits will not be that great. It is not worth the trouble."
"Besides, doesn't His Majesty still want to give Su Jing a try? If he cancels it right after he says it, wouldn't it mean that he can guess our identity?"
After listening to Liu Bowen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded: "Not bad, not bad, Bowen is thoughtful. Su Jing, let him continue to suffer."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Liu Bowen sighed secretly:
Fortunately, I have sharp eyesight, and His Majesty has no intention of abolishing this matter.
In fact, neither mentioned a single reason.
That is to establish the uniqueness and uniqueness of imperial power.
The avoidance of surnames is more about creating a perception in the hearts of the people that the surname Zhu is the surname of the emperor.
In fact, this is to maintain the imperial power.
Why has this been the case in all dynasties?
Because rulers want to consolidate their power!
Su Jing naturally knew it, but he just complained and didn't point it out.
Liu Bowen knew it, and so did Lao Zhu.
It's just a tacit understanding.
"Bowen, regarding this businessman, did I do something wrong?"
Zhu Yuanzhang changed his subject and said.
Although Su Jing did not explain clearly what was wrong with the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business, it can be seen from Su Jing's attitude and his knowledge and conversation.
Zhu Yuanzhang understood that Su Jing was definitely not aimless.
"The old minister has been far away from the court. His thinking is dull and he can't understand."
Liu Bowen replied.
I don’t know if he really can’t understand it, or he just doesn’t dare to understand it.
"well."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
Liu Bowen said: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Su Jing today? Anyway, he goes to the streets every day to tell stories. I think he probably knows."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer immediately.
Liu Bowen also wisely closed his mouth.
What Su Jing said today was really too direct.
However, in Liu Bowen's opinion, His Majesty will still ask tomorrow.
Although Su Jing has a venomous mouth, his Majesty should not embarrass him just by saying "for the working people."
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment and said: "Here comes someone."
Soon, several men in regular clothes appeared next to them, all of them very capable.
"Follow Su Jing, record everything you say and do for me, and be careful not to let him find out."
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After a few people agreed, they left directly.
Liu Bowen stood respectfully aside, as if he didn't see anything.
...........
the other side.
Su Jing, who left Shaxian Snacks, has arrived at her own Su's Clothing Store.
"My boss, since I used your improved loom, our production of fabrics has increased several times."
The shopkeeper of the cloth shop said to Su Jing with a smile on his face.
Su Jing checked the accounts, then looked at the quality of the fabric, nodded and said:
"well done."
Improving the loom was naturally a drawing given by the system, and Su Jing was quick to make use of it.
"They are all cultivated well by the owner."
The shopkeeper of Buhang nodded quickly and said.
Su Jing continued: "Now that the new looms are used, the cost of a single piece of fabric has been reduced a lot, and the price of fabric will also fall."
"Do you still want to surrender? Boss?"
The shopkeeper of the cloth shop was a little confused and said: "Now the cloth in our cloth shop has the lowest price in the entire Lishui County and even Yingtian Mansion."
"We have the largest market, so there is no need to use price tactics anymore, right?"
He has been with Su Jing for almost a year, and he admires this boss's business acumen very much.
In just one year, nearly 80% of the cloth shops in Lishui County were acquired, all of which were owned by him.
This ability is unparalleled.
Now, there is no need for Su's Clothing Company to engage in a price war.
The industry's monopoly position has been revealed, and price reduction will bring doubts on the quality of its own products, which is completely thankless behavior.
Su Jing did not answer directly, but looked at the shopkeeper of the cloth shop who he had lifted up with one hand and said:
"Sun Ping, do you still remember what happened when we first met?"
Shopkeeper Sun immediately burst into tears and said, "Of course I remember that I was half-clothed and almost froze to death on the roadside. It was my boss who took me in and taught me how to manage the cloth shop. This is how I, Sun Ping, am today!"
"I always remember the kindness of my employer and don't dare to slack off in the slightest."
As he spoke, Su Jing almost knelt down.
Su Jing hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I'm not bringing this up just to make you grateful."
"Have you forgotten your own experience of being naked so quickly? I founded this cloth shop not only to make money, but also to make people like you have clothes to wear."
"My personal abilities are limited, so I can't help everyone."
Hearing this, Sun Ping was also stunned for a moment.
He knew very well what it felt like to be in the cold wind and not fully clothed.
The Ming Dynasty had just been established, and everything was in ruins, and most of the people's lives were poor.
Buying clothes is not a small expense.
I didn’t expect that my boss would have such kindness in opening a cloth shop!
"My boss! Sun Ping understands, Sun Ping will do it now."
Shopkeeper Sun agreed immediately.
Su Jing immediately added: "Pay attention! The price of coarse linen clothes has been reduced, and the price of silk and satin has to go up. Do you understand? Don't lose money to my cloth shop!"
Although Su Jing likes to do good things, she is not a good person.
His operation can be regarded as "robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
after all,
Anyone who can afford silk and satin is considered rich anyway.
