Chapter 223 Fudge, then flicker
Zhou Kui looked a little excited, and began to think about it. If he was really like the emperor said, he would organize a group of people and go to the Jiangnan area by himself, he could go to the low price of the bulk under the banner of royal relatives.
Purchase grain.
Yes, you can only buy old grain, so that the price of grain can be lower. If you liar, you will be able to make new grain. If you buy too much old grain, add some sand to it.
It’s just a group of hills, and it’s good to eat anything you can have.
However, it costs a lot of money to transport it back to Beijing from Jiangnan. If you have it, I will ask the emperor for grace and borrow the official ship for the canal transportation. This is a huge profit!
Emperor Chongzhen's words made Zhou Kui very excited. This was not what he asked to help him share his worries. It was obviously a chance to make a fortune.
And according to Zhou Kui's mental plan, if he had done this, he would have asked the official in charge of the matter or the eunuch in the inner court to help him with some good words. When the emperor was happy, he might be able to do it.
Issue a title.
"Bestie..."
Looking at Zhou Kui with a smile on his face and his eyes shining, Emperor Chongzhen was sitting, and knew that the fish had taken the bait. He sighed with a pretending ignorance: "If the father-in-law finds this difficult, then pretend that I don't have it.
Said it, it's right to think about it..."
"It's not difficult to deal with, how can this be difficult to deal with!"
Zhou Kui, who came to his senses, suddenly heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, and felt anxious. How could this duck that reached his mouth be called fly?
Under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhou Kui said anxiously: "It is the duty of the old minister to be able to share your worries. Since Your Majesty has said that, even if it is a thousand difficulties, the old minister will definitely overcome all difficulties and share your worries.
But Your Majesty, how long does this transaction... have to be maintained for transporting food? The old minister also has a clear idea in his heart. Many of them can help His Majesty share his worries, right?"
The face of this profiteer comes out?
Father-in-law, you are too short-sighted.
Seeing Zhou Kui so excited, he almost spoke his heart when he was excited. Emperor Chongzhen suppressed the desire to laugh and pretended to be meditated.
Queen Zhou, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but feel a little worried when she saw the scene in front of her. She wanted to remind Emperor Chongzhen, but she didn't know how to speak.
"Of course the longer the better."
Just as the Queen Zhou was about to speak, Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "You know in your heart how many troops I have guarded the border in the Ming Dynasty. Some officials of the Ministry of Revenue, including the Ministry of War, often cry to me to be poor, and I am invincible.
If the treasury has no money, it can only pay the money from the treasury.
Instead of using the money from the treasury to be used by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War for other purposes, I plan to spend a sum of money from the treasury every year to purchase food.
In the future, if there is a border town, the military town lacks food, so they asked the people from Xichang to escort it to solve the urgent problem and save the Jizhen mutiny and other major events that disrupt the dynasty..."
This is a big deal!!
Zhou Kui, who was excited, didn't listen to what Emperor Chongzhen said at all. What he was thinking about at this moment was how to maximize the benefits.
But he wouldn't know that what he was thinking was guessed by Emperor Chongzhen, and he even prepared to beat him hard.
Seeing that Zhou Kui stopped talking again, Emperor Chongzhen was not anxious. Under the worried gaze of Queen Zhou, he picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, but said in his heart.
Just thinking about it, being stingy. If you can play it to the right path, it will be difficult not to make money. The huge profitable industry such as the Piaohao business must be Zhou Guozhang.
However, before planning this, you must seize the lifeline. It is the kind of person that can kill him if he shakes it out, otherwise he will not be shocked.
"It is the duty of an old minister to share his worries."
Zhou Kui came back from his excitement, saw the emperor put down the teacup in his hand, looked at him quietly, and hurriedly bowed: "But Your Majesty, the old minister has something to ask for.
Transporting grain from Jiangnan requires a large number of grain ships. The old minister wants to share his worries with His Majesty, so can you ask Your Majesty to give up grace and allow the old minister to use official ships to transport grain to the capital as soon as possible?"
"Can."
Emperor Chongzhen did not think much and said, "The father-in-law has said this. If I can't even be so kind to this little thing, wouldn't it be a blow to the father-in-law's heart?"
"Emperor, this matter..." Empress Zhou couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and reminded Emperor Chongzhen, but before he could say this, Zhou Kui said, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then the old minister will
Let’s take your leave first, make preparations early, and share your worries as soon as possible.”
Zhou Kui knows more than anyone else about his daughter's temperament, but he must not be called a mess with such a profitable deal.
"good."
Emperor Chongzhen stood up and smiled slightly and said, "Best-in-law, I'll bother you with this matter."
"This is what the old minister should do, and the old minister will give up."
Zhou Kui left, with all kinds of calculations and excitement, and left Kunning Palace and prepared to plan this matter well. After all, if he did this profitable deal as soon as possible, if Emperor Chongzhen regretted it, wouldn't he lose.
It's big.
"Your Majesty, what you said is important to the state dynasty, and it also involves the money spent by the treasury. It shouldn't be called..." Empress Zhou said with a sad look in her eyebrows, looking at Emperor Chongzhen.
"Empress, the father-in-law rarely wants to share my worries. How can he dispel his enthusiasm?" Emperor Chongzhen smiled, grabbed Empress Zhou's hand, and patted him: "Whoever is calling this thing to do,
Compared to outsiders, I believe in the father-in-law more, so there is no need to talk about this matter."
Emperor Chongzhen did take over the bulk purchase of grain for storage. After all, in the Ming Dynasty during the Little Ice Age, grain was absolutely hard currency.
Faced with the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen was not sure what would be the gang of corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty do?
In order to avoid the situation where there is no grain available and no grain can be adjusted when he needs a large amount of grain, Emperor Chongzhen intended to build a batch of granaries to disperse grain storage at the imperial village, and condemn the people from the Western Factory every month.
Conduct random inspections from time to time to avoid theft and selling of food.
When Zhou Kui talked about this, he, the emperor who was a son-in-law, wanted to plot against his father-in-law and to hold on to his lifeline of his stingy father-in-law, so as to completely shock his father-in-law and help him make more money.
The business of the Piaohao business cannot be started in the name of the court within a certain period of time, otherwise, according to the virtues of those corrupt officials, they can play various tricks through their hands. Then the good things will be
It will become a burden to drag down the Ming Dynasty.
"Emperor... If this is the case, then the inner court would be better to condemn and send people to follow the supervision." Empress Zhou was still a little worried and advised.
"Okay, okay, everything depends on the queen."
Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied. He patted Queen Zhou's hand and said with a smile: "I feel so relieved to the Queen."
In this environment of many problems, Emperor Chongzhen was still very moved by Empress Zhou's understanding of the righteousness. At least he didn't have to worry about anything about the backyard.
