Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"Please, how dare I be so ambitious? I'm not saying that people from the Zhu family, haha ​​- you can't afford to offend them, but you can afford to avoid them."

Li Jinglong was afraid of Zhu Di, but he was not afraid of Zhu Gaochi.

"Good fellow, you're saying bad things about my family in front of me!"

Zhu Gaochi black line.

He just doesn't have his father's intimidating presence, which is so depressing.

"You are the only one in your family who can speak. Who else should I speak to if not you?"

Li Jinglong asked back.

"...swearing again..."

Zhu Gaochi pouted.

People who look too approachable are really not suitable to be in a high position.

It seems like everyone thinks it’s okay to be offensive.

"My father is not that kind of person. Besides, my mother is fine!"

Zhang Xin was somewhat familiar with Li Jinglong, so he gave Li Jinglong peace of mind.

Yao Niang took Xu's pulse a few days ago. She has been well taken care of in the past few years. Xu is a broad-minded person. At the very least, she can live for another 20 years.

"Really?"

Li Jinglong was a little skeptical.

"Really? I'll ask my mom to come and have dinner with us in a couple of days."

Zhang Xin originally wanted to ask Xu out for shopping, so it would be nice if they ran into each other by chance then.

Xu is in extremely good condition now.

To use Zhu Di's words, she is a beautiful lady with a heroic bearing.

"also!"

Li Jinglong thought about it for a moment and agreed.

"You don't release the eagle until you see the rabbit—"

Zhu Gaochi started the mocking mode.

"Hmph, if your father wasn't a henpecked man, I'd eat it standing upside down!"

Li Jinglong saw it all clearly when he was in the capital.

Zhu Di was not there at that time, and Xu's posture when she dressed in full armor and went up the city wall seemed even more confident than the late queen.

When the late empress was alive, the late emperor had no tendency to cause chaos in his government.

The current emperor might also be following a routine.

Therefore, it is very important for the Queen to be healthy!

Moreover, the queen is in good health, so whether someone enters the harem or not will not cause any trouble, so as to avoid repeating the mistakes of the previous emperor.

"Do you dare to say that in front of my father?"

Zhu Gaochi provoked.

"As a man, you should always be innovative. As the boss, stop jumping around or your father will punish you!"

Li Jinglong spoke in a big brother tone.

"roll--"

Zhu Gaochi stretched out his leg and kicked Li Jinglong.

"By the way, please leave me a piece of land in the capital that is closer to the imperial city. I don't want to go to court day and night."

Li Jinglong dodged the attack and mentioned the main purpose of his trip.

"Your family is moving there ahead of time?"

Zhu Gaochi was a little surprised.

The issue of moving the capital was still being debated in the court. Even if Zhu Di pushed for it forcefully, it would be easy for the people below to delay it.

Sometimes the stones are unlucky, and sometimes the top beams cannot be found evenly.

Even the location of the imperial city had not been determined yet. It was only in the preparation stage, and there were many issues. Several old ministers wrote letters to request to stay behind.

"We have to move. The emperor plays a good game, we have to follow suit."

Li Jinglong was very sure.

To be a good subject, one must know when to advance and when to retreat. You can be careless in doing things, but you must not deviate from the direction of being a person.

"What do the courtiers say?"

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, it seemed that his father's selfish decision to move the capital was praised by court officials?

"Which of the court officials wants to pay attention to me? I just occasionally hear them say that the emperor's move is brilliant. Now the north is poor and the south is rich. With the capital in Beijing, all the money and grain in the south will be transferred to the north. Sooner or later, the economy of the north will be able to pick up. Once the north picks up, it will be difficult for the south to continue to dominate. They also said that if they stay in Nanjing, the people in the north and south will look down on each other in the future. The dispute between the north and the south may become more and more intense, and it is only a matter of time before the land shrinks and becomes the Song Dynasty."

Li Jinglong had been in the capital for many years. Although he mixed with the playboy circle among the military officers, there were also many playboys among the civil officials, as well as some second-generation descendants of hidden aristocratic families.

When it comes to spending money, they are even more spendthrift than the children of military officers.

But to be objective, when the dandy boys from civil servant families talk about state affairs, they are very insightful because they have been exposed to them at home.

Li Jinglong sometimes organized a party to drink and have fun, and invited these people to join in. After playing for a long time, they became more and more excited and could hear whatever they wanted to hear.

“They are all sensible people, but they just don’t do sensible things.”

Zhu Gaochi snorted coldly.

"This is normal."

Zhang Xin understands this very well.

More than a decade after the capital was moved, even though it would be costly and laborious to move back, when Zhanji proposed it, there were still people who supported it.

It’s not that the southerners don’t understand the significance of moving the capital, it’s just that they prefer to be alone.

"Alright, no matter what those people think, my father has decided on it, and they will have to move there after he dies! I'll leave you a few acres of land when we decide on the imperial city."

Zhu Gaochi didn't want to care about these things anymore.

In short, everyone has his or her own stance, it’s just a matter of seeing who is the arm and who is the thigh.

His dad has big thighs.

That concludes this more serious topic.

Although Li Jinglong has not yet decided to go into the industry, Zhang Xin still brought out the cooperation plan so that Li Jinglong would have some idea in mind.

Zhang Xin plans to go out to sea this time, with two treasure ships of 2,000 tons leading the way, and the rest are small and medium-sized sea vessels of 1,000 tons and 500 tons.

The entire fleet is roughly controlled at around fifty ships.

The two treasure ships will be divided into two fleets that will respond to each other, so two people are needed to lead the team.

It has been confirmed that Zhang Xin’s elder brother Zhang Chang will lead a team.

If Li Jinglong is willing, he can lead the other team.

The fleet is large, so Zhang Xin is not the only owner.

With the aim of making money together.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, Zhang Xin asked the Zhao family to extend an olive branch to the merchants in the capital.

The feedback was very enthusiastic.

In terms of funds and initial investment, it is almost a joint investment of most shops in the capital.

To be specific, the investors are those merchants who immediately followed Zhang Xin when he was organizing the reward stamps and banknotes.

They are not pretentious when making money.

When it comes to spending money, they don't hesitate.

As soon as Zhang Xin agreed to let them invest, their manpower and goods were all ready.

The best partner.

In his previous life, when Zheng He sailed to the West, he was accompanied by 25,000 people. All food, drinks and daily necessities had to be fully prepared. The cost of one trip, not counting the goods taken out, was 750,000 taels.

The specific amount of the initial investment this time, from treasure ships to manpower to cargo, was calculated to be nearly 400,000 taels of silver.

[Small science - Everyone knows about Zheng He's voyages to the West, but in fact, eunuchs were sent to sea in the first year of Yongle. On September 15, eunuch Ma Bin and others were sent to Java to issue an imperial edict to Sumatra, Soli and other countries in the West; on the 24th of the same month, eunuch Li Xing and others were sent to Siam; on October 13, eunuch Yin Qing was sent as an envoy to issue an imperial edict to Malacca, Cochin and other countries. During the Yongle period, eunuchs were very busy -]
