Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Before the meal was ready, seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a very high mood, Zhu Tao asked, "Father, is there any embarrassment in business?"

Zhu Yuanzhang instinctively asked, "What business?"

It suddenly occurred to me that we are now a cheap old man, a businessman, and fortunately today's matter is indeed related to money, so I said: "Yes, it is a business matter, hey, don't mention it!"

At first, he also thought that something must be wrong, so Zhu Tao asked: "When you first came in, I saw it. I guess the matter is still very difficult. If you have anything to say, just tell me, and I will give you an idea."

"Business is easy, but accounts are hard to clear."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that the popcorn that melted in his mouth was no longer fragrant.

After explaining the fact that the numbers on the accounts had been altered and that it was hard to know the authenticity, Zhu Tao smiled, "It's simple, I'll send someone down to look it up soon and I'll know?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"Tao'er, you don't know, our family's business is big, there are businesses everywhere in the thirteen provinces, the business is big, and there are many people to support, and there are hundreds or thousands of people in charge of the branch offices in various places. do not talk."

After thinking for a while, he continued.

"When there are too many people, things will be complicated. Even if you send someone to investigate, how can you guarantee that the people you send will be clean? If they do something wrong, won't our big business be ruined by them?"

This is actually the result of the court discussion in the temple, and Lao Zhu said it in business terms, which can be said to be both to the point and easy to understand.

Zhu Tao also understood. He didn't pay attention before, but now it seems that his father's business is really not small.

It's just that the matter he mentioned can be said to be a matter of accounts, but it is not a matter of accounts. If it really needs to be solved, it is not limited to professional technology.

Seeing that Zhu Tao was also lost in thought, Zhu Biao hesitated.

This time, is there no other way for my cousin?Is it really hard to stop the wind of corruption?Seeing that the servants brought Zhu Tao's newly brewed wine, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even bother to touch the cup.

"Tao'er, what's your plan?"

Zhu Tao pondered and said: "There are three kinds of strategies: the best strategy, the middle strategy, and the worst strategy. I don't know which one do you listen to?"

Zhu Biao almost jumped up: "Cousin, we thought about it, but we didn't think of it. You actually thought of three? Are you trying to make us happy?"

Zhu Tao looked at Zhu Biao, "Cousin, you are a gentleman, so naturally you don't understand the ghostly thoughts of these villains. I have dealt with these people for a long time, and I have a little understanding of human nature."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait any longer: "Tao'er, first tell me what the worst strategy is."

"Perhaps others will suggest that you use ten numbers in capital letters such as one, two, three, four, five, and counting units such as hundreds of thousands, or use more complicated Suzhou codes."

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes wide, "How do you know?"

The Department of Cleaning Officials of the Ministry of Households also has a lot of strategists, so naturally some of them thought of this method. If capital letters are used, others cannot alter them. This is already the best method Zhu Yuanzhang has collected.

"This method has existed since the pre-Qin period. It can stop corruption to a certain extent, but it is far from enough. After all, the account book is dead and the person is alive. No matter how complicated your memory is, if someone keeps you from seeing the account book, wouldn't it be Worse?"

"According to you, this method is useless?"

Zhu Tao shook his head: "It still needs to be used, but it must be supplemented by other methods."

"What do you think."

"For example, you can send someone down to check the accounts. Only by obtaining information from multiple sources can you prevent fraud for personal gain to the greatest extent."

Zhu Biao is familiar with this question, so he stood up not to be outdone.

"Cousin, don't you understand? If you send someone down and don't talk about it, how can you guarantee that what he said is true? If you send more people down, rely on each other to help each other. , and even colluded with each other, what should you do?"

Zhu Tao looked at this cousin and burst out laughing.

"Cousin, why don't you like to talk about the past and the present, and you haven't even learned the political wisdom of the current emperor?"

"Tao'er, do you think His Majesty the current emperor has political wisdom?"

"Of course, from a beggar cowherd boy to the supreme ruler of a country, do you think anyone can do it? He naturally has political wisdom beyond the previous dynasty."

tsk tsk!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that the popcorn melted in his mouth, why is it so fragrant!Strange, why didn't I notice it just now?
After taking a few bites in succession, he ate it without image. After taking a few bites, he said, "Tell me, what political wisdom does he have that can be used in business?"

Zhu Tao took a sip of tea and said.

"Emperor Zhu came to the throne and established the supervisory censor system, which can be described as a unique one. The supervisors with high grades and low grades will not care about the head and the tail. This can also be used in business. For example, you send a steward When going out to do business, you can also send them some alternate assistants. These alternate assistants are used to fill in the vacancies of the managers. Don’t dare to make a single mistake.”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened dumbfounded, while twisting the popcorn and continuing to stuff it into his mouth.

"Even if the steward can collude with an assistant, it's impossible to buy all of them. As long as one of them reports to you, who can do anything without telling you?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "Father is really old, this is a good idea, but, Taoer, you also said that this is what Emperor Zhu came up with, not yours..."

In fact, this is the method of Emperor Yongzheng, and it has been tried and tested. However, Yongzheng also has a secret zhezhuo system, which can be used in politics, but not in business.

Seeing that the old man heard himself say that Emperor Zhu is good, he laughed heartily. It seems that the old man is still an out-and-out royalist.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "How can we ensure that the news of the assistant can be delivered to my father?"

Zhu Tao said: "You can establish a communication channel to ensure the smooth flow of this kind of secret letter. Moreover, the role of secret letters is not limited to high-density, you can also talk about local conditions and customs, the price of firewood, rice and oil, and supernatural disasters, so that you can get more comprehensive information. gone."

Zhu Yuanzhang was originally from a secret service organization. Hearing this, he also pondered. Although Zhu Tao said these things, although he was a bit whimsical, but he thought about it carefully, he could still do it.

Who knew that Zhu Biao said: "Cousin, the emperor's method, you actually said it was just a bad idea?"

He was naturally still unconvinced.

Just at this moment, a gust of wind came over and blew the gauze lamp into darkness. A child hurriedly put a lampshade on the lampshade. Naturally, many moths that had no time to escape were scorched.

"Cousin, corrupt officials are like this moth. They know that if they take a step forward, they will be smashed to pieces. Why do they keep rushing towards them? Even if they are stripped of their skins, they can't stop them?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned: he still hasn't figured out this question.I just stared at Zhu Tao to see what he said.

Who knew that Old Tang came over: Young master, the fresh barbecue ingredients are ready, do you want to ask the master and the others to try something new? "

Zhu Tao laughed loudly: "Father, cousin, if you talk too much about court affairs, you will lose your head. Let's have barbecue first!"
