Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2194, a big family and a big business can't hold up too many sons

"Grandpa Huihuang!"

"Because Yutian is relatively close to the capital and Tianjin, and is in the middle of the two, there are still many conveniences for development. Suner has seen this, so he also absorbed a lot of transfers from Tianjin and Beijing. industry, and established a large industrial park to facilitate these transferred factories.”

"Currently, Yutian County's tax revenue and population growth are very good. Last year's growth rate has reached 10%."

Zhu Zaicheng thought about it and replied.

"Ok!"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he also nodded slightly.

Zhu Zaicheng can only be said to be quite satisfactory, not outstanding, but not bad, at least he knows how to use regional advantages to develop the economy within his jurisdiction.

But to be honest, Zhu Zaicheng has not yet grasped the focus and core of economic development. These transferred industries basically belong to traditional industries such as textiles, cement, and glass.

The fastest-growing industries in Daming are emerging industries and fields such as petroleum, electric power, telecommunications, automobiles, and chemicals. It can be known from the annual reports provided by many industries under its command that it is very clear.

Yutian County still has great geographical advantages. It is close to the Beijing and Tianjin regions. In fact, it is completely possible to introduce these industries, and the introduction and development of emerging industries can gain more sufficient impetus.

Of course, accepting the transfer of traditional industries is also a way.

"You must have known about the fact that the adult prince is going to be entrusted. What do you think of this matter?"

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and asked again.

"Grandfather, it is a rule set by the ancestors that the distribution of adult princes is a rule that cannot be changed."

"However, I am very reluctant to send my brothers to the wild places such as overseas or outside the customs, and I am worried that they will suffer hardship to accept it, so my grandson wondered if it is possible to distribute more land and give more money. What, this way you won’t suffer too much when you go overseas or outside the customs.”

First of all, Zhu Zaicheng expressed his attitude. This enfeoffment must be enfeoffed, because this is the rule set by the ancestors, and he also supports it.

Then he also showed that he should have a big belly as a prince and the heir apparent of the Ming Empire, and wanted to give more land and money to the brothers of the capital.

"Ok!"

After listening to Emperor Hongzhi, he also nodded in relief. It is naturally best for the prince to think like this.

Since ancient times, when there are many royal heirs, it is easy to cause problems. In many cases, cannibalism kills far more people than sickness and old age.

Of course, Emperor Hongzhi hoped that his grandsons would not fight and kill each other, so he supported Zhu Zaicheng very much from the beginning, and let the other princes not have any ideas that they shouldn't have.

The status of the prince has been consolidated, and the other princes will be entrusted out after they reach adulthood. This is actually a kind of protection for the other princes. If you don't fight for things that shouldn't be fought, there will be no disaster.

"The Emperor is here!"

At this time, Xiao Huangmen opened his voice and shouted.

Soon, Zhu Houzhao walked in energetically.

"Father!"

Zhu Zaicheng also saluted with all the princes in unison.

"You are all here too."

Zhu Houzhao looked at his sons, smiled and said.

Then he also saluted his father.

"Father!"

"Ok!"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

"Father, my son came here this time, in fact, he mainly wanted to discuss with you about the distribution of princes."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said to Emperor Hongzhi.

"What thoughts and opinions do you have?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, thought for a while and asked.

Hearing the words of Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Zaicheng and the other princes immediately pricked up their ears. This was related to their own interests.

"I think it's still the same as before. When the prince becomes an adult, he should be entrusted and go overseas or outside the customs to establish his own vassal state. He can no longer stay in Daming."

"It's just that all the land in the world has been divided up now, so I'm going to make a decree to let Tianzhu's Ningguo, Western United Commercial House, Burmese Colony, South African Colony, Chu Kingdom and other large colonies and vassal states divide part of their land. "

"In addition, some land from the Golden Continent, Australia, and Black Earth Province will be allocated to these princes to establish their own feudal states."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said, telling his plan.

It is definitely impossible to stay in the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the Ming Dynasty was almost dragged to death by these princes of the old Zhu family. The princes, big and small, all eat the treasury of the court. One-third of the tax revenue is used to support these princes.

If these sons of Zhu Houzhao are also divided into the Ming Dynasty, there may be nothing right now, but how many children and grandchildren these more than 200 sons can give birth to at that time, even the largest family business in the Ming Dynasty will have a top An unstoppable day.

Therefore, it must be cut off from the source, so as not to leave troubles and hidden dangers for future emperors and troubles for the court.

Now they are sent overseas to establish a vassal state at one time. After that, the children and grandchildren will be able to support themselves on their own, and there will be no burden and pressure on the Ming Dynasty.

Furthermore, staying inside Daming is like raising pigs, without any function or value, and being watched everywhere, not to mention how depressing life is.

Establish your own vassal state, although the vassal state is small, it is still your own decision, and it can be very good if you manage it well. For example, there are some small vassal states and small colonies in Daming overseas that are well managed.

"Well, how big is the enfeoffed land?"

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and asked.

"Depending on the location, the area of ​​a good place is smaller, about the size of one or two counties, and the area of ​​a more remote place can be larger, and try to make everyone similar."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said.

"Is this too small?"

"The whole world is so big, can our children only occupy such a small space?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately felt that the place was too small.

"A vassal state the size of one or two counties?"

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, all the princes at the scene were immediately unhappy. A place the size of one or two counties is really a big fart, a real small feudal kingdom.

Originally, I thought that if I went overseas, I would be able to establish a big feudal kingdom like Ningguo and Chu, which would be very good, but now there are only a feudal kingdom the size of one or two counties, which is meaningless.

"Father, this is not small. I have more than 200 sons, and the total area is already very large."

Zhu Houzhao pouted and said.

There is no way, although one or two counties entrusted by a prince may not seem very large, but if the land entrusted by more than 200 sons is added up, the area will be very large.

"Forehead"

Emperor Hongzhi was at a loss for words when he heard it. This big family can't hold back the number of sons, so this casual point seems to be very little.

"Just one or two counties."

"It's a small shop with a small area, but you still have to give them some family property. From my point of view, each prince should be given at least a few million taels of silver. If you go overseas like this, you can Not too shabby."

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and added.

"what?"

"Father, each prince will be divided into several million taels. The 100 princes will cost hundreds of millions of taels. I have more than 200 sons. At that time, it will be enough to have one billion taels."

Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded. Although he said that he has many properties and is very profitable, if this is divided, his internal money will be divided.

A prince is divided into millions of taels of silver, how can there be so much silver to divide.

You must know that there are dozens of adult princes now, and they all have to be distributed. How can I get out of so much money all of a sudden?

"Isn't it just some silver?"

"If it's not enough, let it come from me. Anyway, my family business is to be passed on to these children."

"You must know that when they go overseas and outside the customs, they are all wild lands, and everything has to be started from scratch. To establish a feudal kingdom, all aspects will cost money. If there is no money, then there will be two decent palaces. It can’t even be built, such a person who lives in the wind and sleeps in the open, has never suffered such hardship.”

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately said unhappy.

These precious hearts of my own are going overseas to live a hard life, and this family has to share some of it.

There is no way to give too much land, so more money must be given.

"Yes, father!"

"Overseas is a place of poverty. Everything starts from scratch, but money is needed everywhere. It doesn't matter if there are more."

Prince Zhu Zaicheng also spoke.

Hearing Zhu Zaicheng's words, Zhu Houzhao was also speechless. I'm afraid you don't know that if you divide them up like this, you won't have much wealth left to you.

Although it is said that he and Liu Jin have jointly established a large number of industries and made a lot of money, but they can't stand to divide them like this.

A few million taels is one, ten is tens of millions of taels, and 100 is hundreds of millions of taels.

"It's also fortunate that there is Liu Jin, otherwise, this son would have given birth to too many sons, and this would be too embarrassing."

Zhu Houzhao rejoiced in his heart, thankful that he had accumulated these huge properties back then, otherwise, the family would have been shabby.

"Old Liu is still smart. He only gave birth to a few sons, and it is much easier to divide the family."

"Okay, okay, then give me more money."

Zhu Houzhao agreed after thinking about it. Although this huge family property is his own now, it still belongs to these bastards after all. Sooner or later, it will be passed on to them.

"It's just that I'm afraid it's better to save money on marrying my daughter in the future, otherwise, how could there be so much money!"
