Chapter 328 Be a happy person from today.(2/2)
"Uncle Emperor, do you really mean what you say? We can really get the right to operate the treasures of the Royal Company. Can we also leave the fiefdom at will?"
"Uncle Emperor, can you really grant us a small country like Luzon or Tsushima?"
"Why did I lie to you? We are all one family, and we all have the blood of Taizu and his elders on our bodies. How could I possibly let you suffer?"
Think about it carefully, have you considered all aspects of the idea I gave you? Have you not been forceful enough to make you suffer?
Ask yourself, if you were in my position, the budget deficit of the Ministry of Household Affairs would be at its peak, the clan would be in the hundreds of thousands, the people would be in rebellion everywhere, and officials would be corrupt.
At this time, a group of your relatives are still giving birth to children to earn salaries. They are still occupying land and not paying taxes. They don't care about the national government expenditures that they can no longer support. What should you do?
You are also considerate of me! We are all a family, and it is true that we help each other. You are always stabbing me, and it is very difficult for me to handle!"
Chongzhen's sincere words also made Zhu Chuan and Zhu Shenheng nod their heads. What Chongzhen said was indeed correct. If they were put in Chongzhen's position and they thought about the clan's annual salary, they would feel truly enlightened.
"Uncle, you sincerely consider your nephew. My nephew is very touched and agrees with it. Then my nephew will follow your advice and agree to the land reform plan. When my nephew returns, he will inform the whole clan to prepare for cooperation. It's just a matter of lifting the restrictions on this clan.
When will it be announced?”
"That's right, uncle and nephew have agreed. However, many of the properties in the country where my nephew is are belong to previous generations of Fengguo generals. My nephew can't make the decision, so I need you to give the order."
What the two men really agreed to was, apart from Chongzhen's sincerity, another point, which was the weakness of Shanxi's Royal Army and the vassal king.
Regardless of whether Chongzhen's words count or not, the two of them had no choice but to agree today, otherwise, they would really be facing a house raid.
"Very good, I am very relieved that the two imperial nephews are willing to share my worries.
However, this matter is not urgent at all. We are currently just clearing the fields, and will not start dividing the fields until the autumn harvest is completed in September.
What you have to do is to go back and mobilize your family members and make it clear that when the imperial master comes back in a few days, he will go to the provinces to bring all the princes to the capital.
As long as the princes are still alive, they will all go to Beijing. When the time comes, it will be your time to set an example. I hope you can admonish them and do ideological work for them.
In the early stage, I will also release twenty officials from Yanzhou and one hundred county-level officials from Ming Dynasty to the clan. Whether they can do a good job depends on them.
As for the products of the Royal Company, I have divided them into fifteen major categories and seventy sub-categories, including bicycle factories, state-controlled steel factories, cement factories, clothing factories, food factories, and light industry assembly plants.
You can consider what you want to do. Don’t worry, it will be a huge profit. However, the minimum investment amount for each small category is one hundred thousand taels, and the minimum investment amount for the major categories is one million taels.
It depends on what you think, you can invest as much as you want, the more you invest, the more you will earn, but the return on investment will be slower."
"Ah? You still need money? Uncle Emperor, didn't you say you were going to reward us?"
When Zhu Chuan heard Chongzhen's words, he was surprised and Chongzhen suddenly looked at him with a dark look on his face.
"What I said was that I would allow you to do business and relieve you of the source of income problem after you don't have a salary. I didn't say that I would guarantee you to make money. What's the difference between that and me continuing to pay you a salary?"
"Uncle Emperor..."
"Let's wait until the emperor shows it to us. I believe the emperor will not let his family suffer."
Zhu Shenheng saw that Zhu Chuan was still planning to have sex for nothing, so he quickly stopped him. Chongzhen was already impatient, and it would be rude to continue talking.
Chongzhen took out two printed investment promotion documents from the display window and handed them to the two of them.
"This is an investment promotion document. As a vanguard of cooperating with me and actively cooperating with reforms, I allow you to select two major categories first and go ahead of other princes. You still have a few days to think about it."
The two took the document and looked at the dazzling names of the production lines, as well as the corresponding calculations of output, cost prices, and labor costs, and their eyes began to light up.
An hour later, Zhu Chuan and Zhu Shenheng, holding investment documents in their hands, walked out of the palace and got into the back of the truck.
"Brother Imperial, how true do you think what His Majesty said today is? Is he just trying to defraud our family property to fund the military?"
"Seven points, at least seven points. As for military resources, probably not."
Zhu Chuan said with confidence.
"You just believe him so much? Then there is no trace of Yanzhou, and these factories he mentioned can easily cost one hundred thousand taels. What if we lose money?
I think what he said about not giving us a salary and taking over our fields is true. The other benefits and arrangements for us must be all to set a trap for other princes."
"It's not that I believe him more, but that he doesn't need to lie to us. Besides, our Zhu family has a large family and a large salary. Is this a lie?
What the emperor said just now is very true. We are all one family. It is difficult for the emperor to maintain the Ming Dynasty now. Let us help if we can."
"But there is no need for him to suffer hardship for his own family and give all the benefits to those mud-legged people, right?
This collection will take away at least 80% of our land. This is the eight hundred years of accumulation of our Dai Wangfang and Shen Wangfang. Once the reform is carried out, it will all be lost."
"My family, haha, we were our own family dozens of generations ago, now..."
Zhu Shenheng listened thoughtfully. Indeed, Chongzhen was too far away from them, so far away that they were not only given five but ten services.
"I hope what he said is true. This time it's a big deal. There are more than 1,600 people in our acting royal family, and we can only leave more than 16,000 acres of land."
"Your family has so few talents? Our Prince Shen clan already has more than 2,100 people. That's all because of Li Zicheng's rebellion last time, and two families were in trouble."
Zhu Chuan and Zhu Shenheng were not very interested. At this time, they did their own calculations and realized that they would not receive any salary in the future. There were so many people in the clan to support, and they wanted to die.
The truck sent the two people to the post house and left temporarily. For the next period of time, they would wait here slowly for other princes to be picked up. At the same time, they could enter the palace at any time and continue discussing clan affairs.
However, they can already send messages home. The Royal Army will send telegrams to their families for them, so that they don't have to worry and just cooperate with the property inventory.
At the same time, the Royal Army Headquarters was located 600 kilometers away.
After Hong Chengchou received the Khalkha tribe, that is, the envoys from Outer Mongolia, he was a little irritable because the khan of the Khalkha tribe in Outer Mongolia was not willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
This made him very unhappy. If the Air Force hadn't been trained well and it wasn't under his control, he would have wanted to command the Air Force to blow up his mother.
Watching the Khalkha envoy go back, Xing Feiyue, the commander of Hong Chengchou's security company, who was selected, hurriedly came over with a stack of documents.
"Commander, here are today's newspapers, as well as the telegrams just sent from the DPRK and China. They are the content of the discussions in the DPRK today, as well as the latest military orders. They have been arranged for you in order."
"Thank you for your hard work. Why is the newspaper today so thick?"
Hong Chengchou admired Xing Feiyue's method of organizing documents in an orderly manner. He took the newspaper and started to read it.
"The 14th Chief Envoy of the Ming Dynasty was established? Oops, we don't have any of our people here yet. The first person to go up, isn't it a credit to the expansion of the territory? I will go and report it to you later. Your Majesty, please send me there."
"Well, Commander, please take a look at the contents of the court meeting. During the meeting today, Commander Li Banghua recommended you. However, because the affairs in Mongolia have not yet been completed, His Majesty was worried that the progress would be delayed, so he did not agree."
"What????ah! I'm so angry."
When Hong Chengchou heard Xing Feiyue's words, he opened the telegram and looked at the content on it, and was instantly confused.
Thinking of Sun Chuanting's trip to Yanzhou and the aura around him when he came back, he felt uncomfortable all over. Why didn't he have such a good life? When he thought about it, looking at the nine Khalkha tribes on the map, he held a Punch down.
"It's you who have prevented me from opening up new territories. It's you who have prevented me from regaining Mongolia. I'm so angry. When I get the plane, let's see how I deal with you."
Hong Chengchou's words made Xing Feiyue shudder. He silently prayed for these Mongolians in his heart. They offended such a guy who was bound to retaliate.
