Zhang Mingqiu smiled: "At first, I was worried about how His Majesty could raise business taxes in a logical manner so that merchants from all over the world would willingly hand over their money. I didn't expect His Majesty to be so thoughtful, and he had already thought of a countermeasure, which saved us a lot of money." A lot of effort."
"That's right, it's my great Ming's blessing that General Sapphire sent many elite soldiers and good generals of my Ming Dynasty to the Western Regions to fight for the country!" Chen Shan stroked the beard on his chin, "If the businessmen in this world have some foresight, We all know that this is a good thing, so why not do it if Yinzi can leave a good impression on the imperial court?"
Zhang Mingqiu nodded: "Yes, all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, everyone in the world wants to gain fame and glory, this time it can be regarded as a stepping stone."
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the world's wealthy businessmen to pay more business taxes voluntarily, and the court will also give some benefits appropriately, and the same can be done for people with surplus in their families.
It seems to be a voluntary principle, but it is not as simple as it seems.
Merchants have been of low status since ancient times, and the court has never recognized or supported them. Even the common people in the world look down on merchants. Ordinary poor peasants are superior to merchants, and money cannot buy social status.
This can be regarded as a heart disease of merchants.
But now, the imperial court is willing to offer an olive branch, and merchants naturally have no reason not to accept it.
"Ham, I really want to meet that young junior that His Majesty mentioned!" Chen Shan sighed.
The person who can make Zhu Yuanzhang listen to opinions with an open mind must be a talented person from all walks of life. Looking at this Ming Dynasty, there are not many people with such ability. Chen Shan naturally wants to see him.
Zhang Mingqiu nodded: "The same goes for the lower officials."
On the street, there is a lot of traffic, people come and go, so lively.
Zhu Xiongying, Xu Jinghan, and Xu Zhirong just finished shopping and headed home.
"Huaiying, is the business of the shop almost ready?" Xu Jinghan asked casually, chewing on a piece of crispy candy.
This stinky boy, if he promised himself that he would be ready to serve, he must have forgotten it a long time ago!I am busy with all the matters of opening the shop, and now I have a good relationship.
"Why, Young Master Xu finally remembered that we are going to open a shop?"
Zhu Xiongying glared at him with a half-smile.
Xu Jinghan knew that he was being lazy, and scratched his head embarrassingly: "This is not right! Didn't I give you spiritual support!"
"Go, go!" Zhu Xiongying shook off Xu Jinghan's sticky hand, "You were obviously reserved when you were young, why did you become thicker when you grow up?"
Xu Zhirong watched the two of them making a fuss, and shook his head amusedly.
These two are like enemies from a previous life.
The three of them frolicked all the way back to the Duke's Mansion, and happened to see Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang talking in the yard.
"Why is Grandpa Huang here today?" Zhu Xiongying had long forgotten the unhappiness before, and talked to Zhu Yuanzhang enthusiastically.
Zhu Yuanzhang is not a person with a small belly.
One of the old men, not hypocritical.
Besides, there is no overnight hatred between grandparents and grandchildren.
"Where did Huaiying go?"
"Oh, go shopping for something."
Xu Jinghan and Xu Zhirong saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and his eyes fell back on Zhu Xiongying's face.
"I heard from your father that you are going to open a shop?"
Zhu Xiongying didn't want to hide Zhu Yuanzhang's matter.
Besides, his old man's sharp eyes are not something he can hide from himself.
"Yes, Huaiying wants to open a rouge shop."
Xu Da broke out in a cold sweat. Just now when Zhu Yuanzhang came, the three children were not there. When Zhu Yuanzhang asked, Xu Da had no choice but to report the truth.
But he also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had always disliked businessmen, and knowing that Zhu Xiongying wanted to do business, he must be in a bad mood, so he just asked Zhu Yuanzhang not to get angry.
Zhu Xiongying was also not sure about Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude. He knew that he was a salt merchant, and he knew that his attitude towards doing business must not be in favor of both hands!
But Zhu Xiongying doesn't care about this, if Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't agree, just try to coax it, but the matter of the shop cannot be changed.
Looking at Zhu Xiongying's calm face, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned deeply.
He didn't expect this brat to confess without even a word of explanation, isn't he afraid of being punished?Are you afraid of this calm look?
"you……"
"Huaiying knows that Grandpa Huang has always opposed merchants, and Huaiying didn't intend to upset Grandpa Huang, but this is indeed Huaiying's wish for many years." Zhu Xiongying cupped his hands and lowered his head and said, "Grandpa Huang can punish Huaiying." Ying, but Huaiying will not change her mind."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and looked at Zhu Xiongying in front of him.
This brat really has some backbone!He has the masculinity of his Zhu family!
You can't be moved by lowliness, and you can't be subdued by might. Isn't that just a resounding man!
"Okay, Grandpa Huang didn't blame you, what are you doing!" Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to support Zhu Xiongying.
"As a seven-foot man, you should have your own plans. You can go wherever you want, and Grandpa Huang will support you no matter what."
Xu Da on the side almost dropped his jaw in shock, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude really made him never expect it.
Not even a word of punishment?
Just agreed?
This is the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty who was so jealous of merchants back then!
Xu Da said that he had to reasonably guess whether his majesty had been taken away.
Zhu Xiongying is not surprised at all. Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude must be that he has decided to adopt his opinion to implement the commercial tax reform, and these days it has been quite effective.
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang." Zhu Xiongying curled his lips.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Anyway, I have nothing to do today, why don't you take your grandpa to see the shop you chose."
Xu Da immediately reacted: "Okay, I will go and order my servants to prepare the carriage."
"No need, I'm not a big girl, I always make carriages and sedan chairs wherever I go. Today I happened to be walking with Huaiying, so I should take a walk." Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.
"Yes, grandpa emperor, let's go." Zhu Xiongying turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and strode forward.
The four of them walked together on the bustling Chongwu Street, looking at the bustling streets, Zhu Yuanzhang had a feeling of familiarity and strangeness.
I thought back then that I was begging on the street and eating food from hundreds of families, but I didn't expect that a few years later, I would travel around my own country as the most honored person in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Xiongying knew that Zhu Yuanzhang probably started feeling emotional again.
Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang's life can be called "the history of grassroots counterattacks", and if he were to be himself, he would feel emotional from time to time.
"Here we are, Grandpa Huang, the shop I chose is right in front of you."
"Good." Zhu Yuanzhang followed Zhu Xiongying into the shop.
"That's right, it's my great Ming's blessing that General Sapphire sent many elite soldiers and good generals of my Ming Dynasty to the Western Regions to fight for the country!" Chen Shan stroked the beard on his chin, "If the businessmen in this world have some foresight, We all know that this is a good thing, so why not do it if Yinzi can leave a good impression on the imperial court?"
