Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Zhu Tao's words choked Zhu Di back, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

Zhu Yuanzhang who was beside him also laughed for a while, and then said to Zhu Di.

"Fourth brother, you and Tao'er usually walk around the most frequently, why don't you understand his lazy nature, not to mention King Europa, even Emperor Ming is not willing to do it."

Zhu Di scratched his head, he really didn't think of this level, so the question he asked just now was somewhat stupid.

But after all, he is the majestic King Yan, so if there is a topic error, he has to pull back quickly.

"But if this is the case, wouldn't the wealth be gathered in the hands of businessmen again? No matter who the businessmen are, the country will always suffer losses."

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang also had doubts, and he knew that Zhu Tao had to come up with a solution.

But the reason why he didn't say much was because every time Zhu Tao gave a strategy, he would definitely explain it in detail.

At this moment, Zhu Tao stared at Zhu Di and Zhu Bian and said.

"Third brother and fourth brother, you are the most civilized and military princes of Ming Dynasty, but you don't know the nature of businessmen. Businessmen value profits, so you can use businessmen to gather money for the country."

Zhu Wei felt a little helpless. In order for the merchants to accumulate wealth, they had to gather most of their wealth with the merchants, which was a little unreasonable.

"But the merchants have money in their hands, how can the front become a country? You must have a way to restrict them."

Zhu Tao said with a smile.

"It's very simple. We signed a contract with them. In the name of the country, let them amass wealth, plunder the resources of other small countries, and share with them. They will naturally enjoy it."

If you do business normally and want to share the accounts with others, there is a high probability that you will be regarded as the biggest profiteer by others.

However, if a country reuses merchants and divides them into merchants, it will be the greatest favor to merchants.

After all, the base of wealth is very large, even if you only get one-tenth of it, it is enough to have enough food and clothing for several lifetimes.

At this time, Zhu Di and Zhu Yan had already understood the feasibility of Zhu Tao's plan, and they naturally sighed in their hearts.

At this time, Zhu Tao said to them with a smile.

"When we have almost exported our culture, we can start to export troops. At that time, whether it is the Europa state or other small barbarian countries, their wealth will eventually be ours."

After talking for a long time, he felt a little dry, so Zhu Tao went to the side and poured himself a cup of tea, and then continued talking.

"We can exchange their domestic valuables directly into money, and we can also transport the corresponding resources back to the country for use."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he was looking forward to the future development of this matter.

"In other words, we can use the timber from Annan Kingdom, the silver mines and slaves from Dongying Kingdom, the rice and paddy rice from Java Kingdom, and even after conquering Tianzhu, we can use their entire population as pigs. The entire Ming Dynasty will let these barbarians , to serve with the power of the whole country."

What a wonderful prospect this is, and Zhu Yuanzhang believes that with Zhu Tao's plan, this will definitely come true in the near future.

If it wasn't for fear of losing face in front of his sons, Zhu Yuanzhang would almost be drooling.

After thinking about it, he said to Zhu Tao.

"Tao'er, since you came up with this idea, then no matter who you choose to be the imperial merchant, it's up to you to decide, and we will definitely not hold you back."

As soon as these words came out, both Zhu Di and Zhu Yan were a little envious, after all, this is a great power.

No matter who Zhu Tao chooses, he can quickly make this person soar into the sky and become the new Shen Wansan of the Ming court.

As long as the word gets out, people who come to Zhu Tao's place for connections will basically break the threshold.

In the end, regardless of whether he can be selected or not, at least filial piety to Zhu Tao is indispensable.

In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang is actually giving Zhu Tao an invisible money bag. No matter how much he takes in it, he has the final say.

But Zhu Tao spread his hands and said directly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father, I know that you are doing it for my own good and want me to spend some money here, but I'm not doing it to be lazy. I really don't want to do this. I just want to give you a suggestion."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little helpless when he saw that his thoughts were expressed so straightforwardly by Zhu Tao, so he asked.

"You kid usually said that you want to eat and wait to die, but you don't expect to have money now, but you don't take it. If you want to be a dude, you must have some money in your hand."

Zhu Tao said with a smile.

"Although my Zhujiazhuang is not big, the things that can be produced every year should be worth the income of a big county. In addition to the experimental field in Huaxiang Village that you rewarded me, I basically can't spend all the money. Yes, so there is no need to take advantage of the country."

Before Zhu Yuanzhang had to say anything, Zhu Tao continued.

"Although I'm just a lazy boy, I'm also the king of Dingyuan who you personally appointed. As a member of the royal family, I know what to do and what not to do. I can't make money like this."

When these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very moved. After all, he did not misunderstand this son.

What Zhu Tao said is right, he is already our own county king, and we need to make him a prince in the future. He is a man who lives with the country and will not take advantage of such a small advantage.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked.

"You just said that you want to tell us what a good way to choose people? Tell us carefully and let Dad listen."

Zhu Tao told Zhu Yuanzhang very seriously.

"Actually, this method is very simple. It is called bidding. It is to gather businessmen from all over the world and let them put forward their own conditions for cooperation with the Huang family. We can choose whoever we think is suitable."

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh heavily and said loudly.

"Your idea is really great. We must let the cabinet form a system and implement this matter all the time. Good things should be passed on for thousands of years."

Zhu Tao smiled. He hadn't finished speaking yet, so he continued.

"Every businessman who comes to bid has to pay a certain fee. In a sense, this is also a test of his strength, but no matter whether he wins the bid or not, the bidding fee is not refundable."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood what Zhu Tao meant in an instant. This is really a wonderful idea.

I want to recruit imperial merchants. The merchants under the sun didn't participate in the bidding activities like the crucian carp that crossed the river.

The final selection of the imperial court will not exceed dozens of people, and more than [-] people will come to participate in the bidding. Even if each person pays a bidding fee of ten taels, it is a million taels of silver.
