Xu Zengshou carefully pondered Liu Chun's words, "Is it because I asked me to join forces with merchants to challenge His Majesty?"

Liu Chun asked back: "Do you dare?"

Xu Zengshou was embarrassed, "Stop talking about me, even if my father is back from the dead, he doesn't have the courage. It's you, brother." Xu Zengshou's elder brother called Shunliuer, but Liu Chun was annoyed.

"If I had the ability, why would I give you the opportunity to make a fortune? If I dare to get involved in Suzhou's industry, do you believe it or not? Your Majesty will definitely uproot and chop off my head by the way!"

Are you very self-aware?

Xu Zengshou laughed and said, "Actually, I won't kill you. At most, I will cut you and let you go to Silijian to be a little eunuch!"

"Bah!" Liu Chun spat hard at Xu Zengshou, "No matter how hard you dare to talk, be careful that I won't say anything, and it will cause you a big trouble!"

This scared Xu Zengshou. He now hit a hedgehog. Suzhou has a great benefit, but the problem is that it is too difficult to enjoy it safely. On one side is a strong dragon and on the other side is a local snake. What should he do? He really has no idea.

Seeing Xu Zengshou coming down honestly, he stood up straight. Liu Chun was in a slightly better mood.

"I ask you, what should you do if His Majesty wants to swallow the shares of Suzhou merchants?"

"I'll find a way to persuade Your Majesty to deal with this?" Xu Zengshou asked tentatively.

"Then can you beat His Majesty?"

Isn't this nonsense?

Liu Chun chuckled and said, "Remember, Your Majesty wants to take action, you have to take the initiative and try to get some soup!"

"What?" Xu Zengshou's face changed drastically, "I said you're too dark, right?"

Liu Chun laughed, "You are too stupid. In the game, the most important thing is to protect yourself, not to show off your strength and pretend to be a hero. If you can stay, you are a three-legged tripod. Do you know what a three-legged tripod is? If any two feet stand together, you must be stronger than a third foot. Your first task is to protect yourself, and your second task is to try to maintain the interests of the merchants and not be eaten up by His Majesty. Of course, maybe one day, you need to stand on His Majesty's side so that you will not be swallowed by the merchants alive."

Xu Zengshou listened to it with relish, but the last sentence made him laugh and cry.

"With our Majesty's murderous intention, can the merchants become bigger? Isn't this a dream?"

Liu Chun didn't argue with him. Of course Lao Zhu didn't know. If it were Zhu Lao Si, maybe he wouldn't, but it would be hard to say anything further.

Take Xiaopang for example. After ten months of being an emperor, he also received a very high evaluation of history books. He also got the name of "Renzong". But the problem is that from him, the civil servant group was out of control. After Tumu Fort, he completely dominated the court, truly realizing that the king and scholars and officials ruled the world together, and even underestimated the emperor.

Some people always exaggerate the factory guards of the Ming Dynasty, saying that eunuchs are tyrannical, and that the Ming Dynasty is dark, the emperor is cruel, the eunuchs are insidious, and loyal ministers are framed. You can really take a closer look at which side does the Ming Dynasty system lean towards, and who is the real profiter?

What can the Silijian do without a cabinet ticket? How can the Jinyiwei arrest people without obtaining the approval from the Ministry of Justice? Also, no matter how strong the eunuch is, it is a decree, and it will be killed as soon as it is said. But what about civil officials? More than a dozen people cried around Zuo Shunmen and ran to force the palace. How many more died?

It makes no sense to compare the emperor, eunuch, and powerful ministers alone.

The strength of civil servants lies in the fact that they are a common interest group, continuing to change the country, constantly turning the state machine into their means of profit.

For example, Lao Zhu stipulated that some corvee and land tax could be exempted according to fame and official positions. But this was just to encourage study and cultivate talents.

As a result, with the unremitting efforts of civil officials throughout the ages, officials did not pay land taxes or corvee labor, and there was no limit. Not only did they not pay themselves, but even slaves dared to go out to enclose land and did not pay taxes.

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, more than half of the land fell into the hands of gentry and officials. There is a very interesting phenomenon. Once the land is concentrated and the court cannot collect taxes, it will release eunuchs to bite people.

For example, Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian are all like this.

And often, eunuchs can play a role in turning the world around.

But at this time, the emperor will accidentally die, and then continue to re-create his old ways and become more serious.

Civil officials have never been alone. Although they are not good at court, the literati and officials are willing to pick up vermicelli and do not get stinky.

But the problem is that scholars and merchants are never separated. Without merchants to make money, how can they satisfy the scholars and officials' quality life?

Moreover, civil servants pay attention to education, should run schools, and continue to invest. They should cultivate enough successors, inherit their great cause, and continue to safeguard the interests of the literati group.

From a certain perspective, they advocate focusing on the main point over the last, and only cut off the emperor's hands to interfere with merchants and turn industry and commerce into their exclusive tools for making money.

"If literati can continue to invest, you nobles should do the same." Liu Chun patted Xu Zengshou's shoulder, "I respect Lingzun very much, but I also know that he cherishes his feathers too much and dare not even protect his own people."

Xu Zengshou wanted to argue, but Liu Chun waved his hand.

"After listening to me, Liang Duke Lan Yu was a reckless man, but he said that he was responsible for the heavy trust of King Kaiping and could not let the old brothers who followed him suffer losses, so he was arrogant and domineering, arrogant, and offend people everywhere. I don't want you to learn Lan Yu, and his thinking is not right. I just hope you can use another way to continue the glory of nobles. With the money in your hands, you should cultivate more noble children, and those who can lead troops on the battlefield cannot fight, but you must also learn to manage and carry forward the family business. You also need to find ways to run schools and cultivate talents. You must be truly able to speak in the court. And you must be familiar with the rules of the court and have strategies."

Liu Chun said patiently, Xu Zengshou's eyes were wide open, full of horror!

It was said so well, every word is worth a thousand gold.

In fact, from the current situation, we can see that if Chang Yuchun dies, the Chang family will be over, Xu Da dies, the Xu family will not do it, Li Wenzhong dies, and Li Jinglong is just a joke. The biggest problem with nobles is that each generation is worse than the other.

Civil officials can produce many talents, and flowers bloom, while nobles can only make their path narrower and narrower.

"Literature is walking on both sides of the official and the businessman. What about you? It should be that military money is blooming! And after you have money, you still have to find a way to influence public opinion so that you can compete with the literati. Do you understand?"

Xu Zengshou was filled with tears of excitement.

Stop saying anything, Liu Chun is really thinking about the nobles of martial artists!

Xu Zengshou wiped his tears and burst into tears to laugh, "Brother, let me come from the heart and call you "Brother! You said so well!"

Xu Zengshou was so grateful that he was very grateful, "Well, brother, I just want to ask for something. You see so accurately and have such a good response. Why don't you come out? The eldest brother is willing to stand on the side of the nobles. I must be for the eldest brother, who dares not accept it. I can't forgive him!"

"Ahem!"

Liu Chun is not that stupid!

Ever since he knew that he might have let Lao Zhu throw it into the vortex and had to face the people gathered around the prince, he has been brewing, and the bad water has been in a day or two.

Since we cannot disobey Lao Zhu's will, we will bring in another unlucky guy and share the fire together.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. With the accumulation of the Xu family and Xu Zengshou's talent, he can still help.

So Liu Chun staged a touching brotherly love.

"I will help you, of course, but in the end it depends on your own efforts. And after all, I am your Majesty's confidant, and it's still very important. I can help you more when I'm outside."

Liu Chun shamelessly claimed to be the emperor's confidant. Xu Zengshou really couldn't expose him. He came with the prince. The king's fate flag was given to Liu Chun, but he didn't even have the prince. Who dares to say that he is not a confidant? He immediately spits on you!

Xu Zengshou gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously, "I understand, I am a hero, and now that we are not good at it, we deserve to be crushed to death! Don't worry, I know what to do!"

Xu Zengshou was full of murderous aura and looked like he was always trying hard.

Liu Chun was quite satisfied and found Zhu Biao, "Your Highness, this is the final plan I have drawn up. Royal Bank injected 10 million yuan into Suzhou Money House and acquired all the shares. Change Suzhou Money House to Royal Bank and Suzhou Branch. In addition, all Suzhou workshops are rescued. In order to ensure the normal operation of the business and sufficient repayment capabilities, they need to sell 60% of the shares. Among these 60% of the shares, 30% will be handed over to Royal Bank directly to be controlled, and the other 30% will be controlled by the Foreign Trade Association."

The so-called Foreign Trade Association is the chamber of commerce established by Liu Chun when he was conducting trade with various vassal states. Behind this chamber of commerce are most of the nobles in the capital!

"Your Highness, Suzhou workshops are currently carrying heavy debts. If you want to pay back the money, the best way is to trade foreign trade, make money overseas and get out of trouble quickly. For foreign trade, it is inseparable from the Royal Bank and the Foreign Trade Association. Therefore, I think that no matter whether Suzhou merchants agree or not, they must do this!"

Liu Chun handed Zhu Biao the estimated list again.

Zhu Biao stared at the numbers above, and his head was so swollen that it hurt!

As long as the normal value of 30% of the shares is restored, it will be at least 8 million taels! And in his sleeve, there is a blood letter from Suzhou merchants handed over by Wang Rui. They beg the crown prince not to take advantage of the situation and keep Suzhou's gentle energy!

On the one hand, there are real interests, and on the other hand, there are the crying and bloody whining of the gentry and merchants. Which side should we stand on? Zhu Biao fell into a war between heaven and man and man, and he understood. What did Lao Zhu ask him to come and ask him to learn!

In Suzhou, the originally gorgeous veil was torn off, leaving only the simplest dispute over interests. Liu Chun was not without selfishness. If he was devoted to the country, he would not have attracted nobles. But in comparison, civil servants and gentry, they would have more. "If they refuse to accept the blood petition, the orphans would definitely be scolded very badly!"
