When Zhu Youxiao saw Cao Jinyu's expression, he immediately understood Cao Jinyu's doubts. It is naturally of great benefit to joining the Royal Company to operate a business.

However, the other side of the benefits also means great risks.

What if the emperor refuses to pay, what if the emperor interferes in the business randomly? These are all things that Cao Jinyu is concerned about.

"You can rest assured that if you are willing to work with my royal family, we can agree on the rules first. Then everything will follow the rules, and I will definitely have a lot of you." Zhu Youchao said to Cao Jinyu. Seeing that the emperor said this, Cao Jinyu also saw the emperor's sincerity. He hesitated and was ungrateful, and then agreed; "Caomin is willing to work with the emperor in partnership, but what kind of business is the emperor doing?"

"I want to do grain business. My imperial farm can produce grain, and the imperial shop can also take out part of it to change it into a grain store. It can also allow you to purchase land, tax, grain for the royal family, nobles, officials, etc. from you. Can this business be done?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"If you can do it, as long as the business is not bad, you will make huge profits." Cao Jinyu said: "It's just that you need to run a grain bank, and the funds are needed."

"I will solve the problem of funds, and all accounting will follow normal procedures. If I need grain, I will not directly draw it from the grain bank, but will be included in the account according to the market price." Zhu Youxiao said easily, in fact, he is waiting for the bank. As long as the bank is opened, he will not have to worry about the funds needed for investment.

"The emperor is wise." Cao Jinyu bowed, but he did not dare to ask the shares. Seeing that he did not mention the shares, Zhu Youxiao naturally waited for him to speak, so he said, "If you do your business for the Royal Family, the Royal Family will naturally not treat you badly. How about I give you 20% of the shares?"

"The people in the grass thank the emperor for their kindness. Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live." Cao Jinyu immediately knelt on the ground and praised sincerely that 20% of the shares were really beyond his expectations.

He is just a small businessman. If he has the support of the emperor, the resistance to the officialdom will be very small, and the business will definitely be bigger. 20% of the shares means that he can make a lot of money in the future.

In order to support the Imperial Shang Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao was naturally not stingy.

As long as they are merchants who share common interests with the royal family, it is also beneficial to let them make money. After all, money is placed in the hands of these royal merchants. In the future, if Zhu Youxiao wants to invest in any industry, or if the country has difficulties, these royal merchants will naturally not be able to stand by and watch.

The rich are actually equivalent to the wealth managers of a country. Since they have wealth, they should naturally bear some responsibilities. In contrast, the businessmen in Jiangnan are now simply garbage capital, making no contribution to society, and are dragging the entire country into the abyss.

The first imperial merchant chosen by Zhu Youxiao, although the business he did seemed ordinary, was just food. However, food was the basic need for the people to survive.

Whoever controls the food will control the people. When Chongzhen came to power, why did the peasant army continue to revolt? It was because of the severe drought in northern Shaanxi and the Donglin Party’s embezzlement of military pay that the border troops could not survive, so they took the lead in plundering the people. The border troops plundered the people and further destroyed production. At the same time, many of the border troops who were defeated by Sarhu fled back to Shaanxi and were afraid of being questioned and did not dare to return to the border troops, so they became bandits in Shaanxi. When the disaster year came, these bandits began to plunder the towns with hungry people.

The peasant uprising in the early years of Chongzhen was actually easy to quell. As long as enough food was mobilized to ensure the living of border soldiers and provide relief to the affected people, those bandits who were holding hungry people were not worth worrying about. Unfortunately, during the Chongzhen period under the large amount of corruption in the Donglin Party, they could not afford to provide any money to provide disaster relief. So the border army continued to join the peasant army, but the peasant army generally had military qualities.

The peasant army became bigger and bigger, and agricultural production in the north was affected on a large scale, falling into a serious vicious cycle, and was finally captured by the peasant army.

Therefore, the fall of the Ming Dynasty actually caused financial bankruptcy.

To put it bluntly, it is that there is not enough money or enough cheap food that can prevent the people from starving to death and restore the production order of the people, which leads to the demise of the country.

If Zhu Youxiao had food in his hands, there would be no large-scale peasant uprisings in the north. Without peasant uprisings, no matter how fierce the Haci made a fuss in the northeast, it would not be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty.

The two sides reached an intention to cooperate, and Zhu Youxiao issued an order to grant Cao Jinyu the title of the Jinyiwei households and allowed Cao Jinyu to enter the palace at any time.

Cao Jinyu was really excited now. Now he not only got to the emperor's relationship, but also had the hometown of the white household of the Jinyiwei, and he was not alone in the shopping mall!

Zhang Yan made great contributions to buying horses, and Zhu Youxiao also rewarded him with a house outside the palace, which was retrieved from Wang An's minions.

Zhu Youxiao then asked Zhang Yan to take good care of the horses and sent the foals to the pasture for breeding.

There are still many pastures in the imperial village, but horse raising has been wasted for many years. After receiving the task, Zhang Yan immediately went to rectify the pastures.

Cao Jinyu began to prepare for the grain business, and Zhu Youxiao first paid 100,000 taels of capital, and would invest additionally in the future.

With the war horses, Zhu Youxiao immediately launched the training plan for the four guards of Tengxiang. During this period, Zhu Youxiao followed Sun Chengzong to learn military governance and had already developed relevant awareness. He no longer knew how to start like before.

The core of military governance is to use both kindness and power, and rewards and punishments clearly.

Zhu Youxiao quickly rectified the four guards of Tengxiang and first announced the increase in the treatment. Ordinary soldiers of Tengxiang four guards gave 2 taels of silver per month, plus one stone of rice.

This kind of treatment is definitely a high treatment for ordinary soldiers. Then Zhu Youxiao promulgated military laws, established a teaching team, and dismissed the old and weak soldiers.

After some rectification, the four guards of Tengxiang immediately changed their appearance.

Especially after the establishment of the teaching team, these teaching teams were not only responsible for supervising military discipline, but also responsible for instilling the idea of ​​loyalty to the soldiers.

These teaching teams are temporarily held by eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Prison, which is not too appropriate. However, the cultural popularity rate in the military is not high, so this is the only way for the time being.

In order to seize the army, Zhu Youxiao quickly moved directly into the military camp. Three meals a day were no different from soldiers, which made the officers and soldiers of the Tengxiang Guards extremely moved. The emperor, who was dressed in a rich and frugal food, actually had a meal in the same pot as them. Naturally, he was so moved that he suddenly realized that he had "conquered people with virtue."

What others don’t know is that Zhu Youxiao had a meal with a group of officers and soldiers in the military camp, but he had a lot of peace of mind. Moreover, after Zhu Youxiao’s rectification, the food of the officers and soldiers was also good, and meat must be served in three meals.

The emperor suddenly moved into the military camp. A group of Donglin parties in the court suddenly became a little vigilant and began to inquire about what the emperor was doing in the military camp.

Soon the Donglin Party members learned an answer that made them laugh and cry. The emperor wanted to train the four guards of Tengxiang into cavalry, and the training ground was placed on the square of Chengtianmen. The square was full of people and horses every day.

After a group of Donglin Party members were having a few more drinks while eating and drinking in the restaurant, Yang Lian sneered: "What a joke! Although some cavalry of the Tengxiang Guards are mainly infantry and can't even ride horses, they dare to train the Tengxiang Guards into cavalry."

"But it's just a matter of talking about it." Zhou Jiamo drank a little bit of wine, and then commented happily.

At this time, Chengtian Gate was indeed in chaos, and many infantry soldiers had just turned into cavalry and were not even good at riding horses.

But is Zhu Youxiao really talking on paper? ps: Everyone is welcome to speak actively in the book review area, but the author’s account has just been registered and cannot reply for the time being.
