Superintendent of Rites.
At this time every day, Cao Zhengchun immersed himself in the proposals sent by some ministers.
The authority of the Ming Dynasty was like an outdated machine.
What big event happened in the world, officials from all over the country used fast horses to go to the cabinet in the capital.
These cabinet scholars are equivalent to half a prime minister. They will first review these memorials. After reading the memorials, they will write their own suggestions under the memorials based on their own experience. This is the so-called vote. imitate.
After the votes are formed, they are sent to the palace through the Minister of General Affairs and sent to the emperor.
While reading the memorial, the emperor also noticed the opinions of the cabinet scholars, and then chose whether to participate in it or not.
If Zhu Houzhao thinks their opinions are useful, he will send them to the Supervisor of Literacy for redemption.
This Cao Zhengchun is the supervisor of the East Factory, and he is also the **** in charge of the Si Lijian. Every cabinet vote needs to be reviewed by him.
Obviously, he cherishes this right, not only because Zhu Houzhao trusts the hearing, but more importantly, he can fully enjoy this right and bring him pleasure to this abnormal person.
Running around all day, Cao Zhengchun has become accustomed to this kind of life. Once he sits down, he reviews for two hours. When he raises his hand, he can't help but move his sore arm, but he sees several eunuchs obediently. Stand in front of him and listen to his call.
Cao Zhengchun suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Why isn't that Shangguan Haitang moving?"
The little eunuchs looked at each other in dismay. How could they think that Eunuch Cao, who was so powerful in the past, actually cared about this person?
The little **** said hesitantly: "Not yet, not yet, conquer."
Cao Zhengchun's face had no waves, and he said lightly, "You can't even conquer such a yellow-haired girl. What's the use of you?"
"It's not that the little ones didn't follow the overseer's orders. It was really difficult to enter the Hulong Villa, and the few people sent by the little ones were beheaded by them."
The more Cao Zhengchun listened, the more ugly his face became, but this was something he couldn't do.
Inside the Qianqing Palace.
Shen Wanqian knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.
"Caomin Shen Wanqian, I meet your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Shen Wanqian who was kneeling on the ground and said, "How many years have you been in business?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, Caomin has been in business with his father at the age of twelve, and it has been twenty-five years since then!"
"What was your family like when you were born?"
"In response to His Majesty, Cao Min was born in Shanxi, his father was a tenant, and his mother died early. Cao Min followed his father to do a small business when he was young."
After listening, Zhu Houzhao nodded and asked, "I heard that you are the richest man in Daming. I ask you, how much money do you have?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Caomin doesn't know how much, but, for more than ten years, Caomin has 10 million taels of silver, and it seems to have increased a lot in recent years, but the specific amount, Caomin doesn't know."
When Zhu Houzhao heard what Shen Wanqian said, he was also greatly amazed. This Shen Wanqian was actually richer than him.
"I ask you, where did your money come from?"
"If you go back to Your Majesty, Caomin only sells silk, tea, and ceramics to overseas markets, and is transporting overseas rare treasures back to China, so that Caomin can earn the difference in price.
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, earning money from foreigners, this is his ability.
No wonder this Shen Wanqian is so rich. It turns out that the price difference he earns is very rich, and it is no wonder that he can bribe the officials of the DPRK and China. Some people take his money and will do things for him. For example, those customs officials, it is estimated that there are many worms. there.
Zhu Houzhao remembered the previous reform of the tax rate. The customs tax rate of 40% was equivalent to putting half of his income into his own pocket. No wonder people took the risk.
Overseas businessmen, spreads?
Zhu Houzhao seemed to be lost in thought.
Now, the taxes collected from the people of the Ming Dynasty cannot satisfy his appetite as an emperor. He feels that he should be the richest emperor, and earn money from overseas people into his own country. What is earned overseas is real money.
After being reminded by Shen Wanqian, Zhu Houzhao had another thing to do next.
What he has to consider now is how to deal with this Shen Wanqian. It is impossible to behead him. After all, this is a business genius. If he is used by Daming, he might make more money for Daming.
Shen Wanqian kept kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to look up. He knew that he had committed a capital crime, and in order to survive, he didn't dare to offend the person in front of him.
Suddenly, a story about a Jew doing business came to his mind.
Once upon a time, a Jewish businessman offended the minister of the palace, and every one of them would put him to death. Before the execution, he got a message that as long as he walked around the palace with a bowl of water, he could survive.
After the news spread, many people came to watch the fun. There were uneven steps around the palace, and most people didn't do much about it.
This person was holding a bowl of water and walked back to the place step by step amid the noise around him, and not a drop of water was spilled.
By this time the crowd was boiling, and the king asked him how he did it. He replied, "Where am I holding a bowl of water? This is clearly my life!"
Shen Wanqian felt that he was just like the executioner, his life was like a must, and in the eyes of these rulers, it was not as good as a must.
Now, no matter what the emperor in front of him wants him to do, he is willing, because it is better to die than to live, and it is better to live than to die.
While Shen Wanqian was still thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao said loudly to him: "Shen Wanqian, it's useless for me to kill you, so let's go, I'll send you to the General Administration of the Navy to find Qi Jingtong, in order to prove your Talent, you go to the customs to earn 30 million taels of silver for me, just one year, if you can't do it, I will kill you next year."
"Grass people lead the order to thank you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"However, don't be too happy too soon. There are three conditions here. As long as you meet them, I will not kill you."
Shen Wanqian raised his ears and listened carefully to Zhu Houzhao's words, for fear that a single word would be dropped.
"The first rule is that your original funds cannot be provided for you, that is, when you pay next year, all these funds will be your net profit.
Second, you can't earn a penny of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Article 3, you are not allowed to borrow the country name of the Ming Dynasty, can you hear it clearly? "
"Caomin all heard clearly!"
Shen Wanqian cried with joy, he was glad that he had survived, and the prosperity of the past had become incomparably nihilistic at this moment.
I can finally see the sun again, this feeling is like a new life.
This emperor has a firm word. If I can hand over 30 million taels of silver next year today, then my life will be saved.
However, suddenly, a bad thought appeared in his mind again.
One year, 30 million taels, on average, one million taels a day, which is simply an astronomical figure.
Shen Wanqian bowed and exited the Qianqing Palace, feeling that his whole body relaxed a lot, just like escaping from death. This kind of feeling can only be understood by those who have experienced it.
Shen Wanqian went to see Cao Zhengchun at the Supervisor of Literacy and explained His Majesty's intentions.
"Hahaha, Shen Daguan, I didn't expect you to have such good fortune. I really obeyed you. I didn't expect Your Majesty to spare you so easily. This is really a blessing for you!"
Shen Wanqian clasped his fists and said, "Eunuch Cao is going to make fun of you. If you don't earn enough money this year, won't you still be killed by His Majesty?"
"I don't think so. With your ingenuity, let alone 30 million taels, it's 50 million taels, and it's not a problem."
