I'm really not doing business

Chapter 453 Silver is the hard-earned money of the people
Silver is silver, a natural currency. Zhu Yijun did not understand the title, but was more interested in the research of the two ministers Wang Guoguang and Wang Daokun. Scholars and officials in the Ming Dynasty are highly overlapping, especially in politics and economics. , because the content they summarized is not based on fantasy, but a summary of experience combined with practice.

Zhu Yijun attached great importance to their research.

The emperor did not use his privilege to inquire, but quietly waited for them to study and understand, and then wrote a memorial and sent it to him.

Wang Daokun was a member of the Zhejiang Party. When he rehabilitated Hu Zongxian, Wang Daokun was among the people who ran away. Wang Guoguang was a traitor to the Jin Party. When Wang Chonggu left, the first thing he thought of was to hand over the leader of the Jin Party to him.

No matter in terms of personal talents or status, what the two of them are working on together, if you think about it for a moment, you will know that it is not simple.

Chen Chengyi had a dinner at Tonghe Palace. His Majesty asked many questions. Chen Chengyi answered them carefully, and Zhu Yijun gained a lot.

After this chat, it was time for dinner. Zhu Yijun simply stayed with Chen Chengyi to eat, and used small favors to win people's hearts.

The craftsmen led by Chen Chengyi will deliver 1200 million jins of red copper to the Ming Dynasty this year, plus 650 million jins of Yunnan copper. This year, the Ming Dynasty can cast up to 13 billion Wanli Tongbao. If the fire consumption is less, it may even be possible to cast coins. 14 billion pieces.

As the emperor, Zhu Yijun was in charge of Chen Chengyi's meals. This was his duty and he was a member of the holy family.

Wanli Tongbao has two coins, five coins, four coins, eight coins, nine coins and other regulations. Among them, two coins are the most. Under the two coins, a small flat is also trial-produced, which is only about one coin. It is affiliated to the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. The money minting bureau once presented this kind of small flat money, which was probably the same as the privately minted flying money on the market. This kind of money was too easy to damage, so it was finally settled on two coins.

"What Da Sikong is thinking is that the hard-earned money of the people of the Ming Dynasty is wasted." Wang Guangguang pointed out what Wang Daokun wanted to say specifically. His Majesty is still frugal. It has been known to the world for so many years, so the discussion of waste will not affect His Majesty. , is a safe topic.

As soon as Wang Daokun said these words, even the emperor was beaten. Every cent of real gold and silver used by the emperor was the people's fat and the people's anointing. This wedding of Prince Lu was very expensive. Similar problems, Wang Daokun's paragraph If you say anything, I'm afraid it will become a knife that stabs the emperor.

The idling of dams has been discussed many times, but Wang Daokun did not elaborate further. Basically, money always flows to places where there is no shortage of money.

Zhu Yijun asked about various affairs in Nanyang.

The conflict between the Governor's Palace of the Ming Dynasty and the Governor's Palace of Goa. The Governor's Palace of Goa has been operating in the Strait of Malacca for sixty years. However, there are red-haired camp fortresses in dangerous places. These are hard-core and can only be solved by one person. Bit by bit; more than 150 footholds have been established in Yuanxu Islands in Nanyang, and these footholds are gradually evolving into plantations; the Spanish colonists in Mindanao are very honest. In the past, these colonists also tried to take back the Cebu Islands. I'm too lazy to move now.

The hard work of the people of the Ming Dynasty created the miracle of maritime trade.

Wang Daokunca was stunned. He was speechless for a moment, because what he was going to say next would definitely involve topics that should not be touched.

He couldn't write it, not because he didn't understand it, but because he didn't know what impact it would have if he wrote it, so he didn't write it. He was not a scientific speaker who chatted endlessly and had to say a few words whether he understood or didn't understand. He had some decision-making power. Quan's first assistant.

These goods are inextricably linked to everyone in Ming Dynasty.

"Sir!" Wang Daokun stood up suddenly. He imagined countless possibilities, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Zhang Juzheng pretended to be confused!

Wang Daokun frowned. He didn't know the specific scope of this. It wasn't that he was stupid. In fact, he had been stuck on this problem during this period of time. Suddenly he thought about it. He was so excited that he never thought about the terrifying power of this sentence. .

Chen Chengyi bid farewell to His Majesty and left Tonghe Palace. During this time in the capital, Chen Chengyi got to know His Majesty well. He was not like the rumored tyrant who killed without blinking an eye. On the contrary, he was quite kind and had a bright smile. , and I don’t know why there are rumors that His Majesty kills people while sleeping. Such strange rumors cannot be believed.

The affairs of the subjects should not rise to the level of the king!

"What does the Prime Minister think?" Wang Daokun asked Zhang Juzheng for his opinion. He had argued with Wang Guoguang countless times and finally confirmed the fact that the white silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty was essentially the hard-earned money of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng is really disappointing!
Wang Guoguang tugged on Wang Daokun's clothes and advised: "Be calm and don't be impatient. Yuan Fu is the chief minister of the country. He must pay attention to the overall situation. This is not a trivial matter. With your determination, there are many things." Everything has to change, Yuan Fu also has Yuan Fu’s difficulties.”

He had been working on the second volume of The Theory of Class, the distribution volume.

"It's nothing, just what is silver." Wang Daokun said with a serious face: "What is silver? The Ming Dynasty is poor in silver. The total silver mountains of the Ming Dynasty only amount to one hundred thousand taels a year. All silver comes from overseas. The silver of the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty. The concrete manifestation of people's labor, to be more clear, silver is the hard-earned money of the people of Ming Dynasty who worked diligently. "

Zhang Juzheng, the Imperial Tutor Yuanfu, determined that he could not express his stance easily. His stance would affect the future direction of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng actually knew that Wang Daokun was right, silver is the hard-earned money of the people.

It’s certain that after Tan Lun left, the biggest radical in the Ming Dynasty was Wang Daokun!

Because the last person who did this was named Hu Weiyong.

Zhu Yijun emphasized more than once that the DPRK needs such a versatile figure.

Zhang Juzheng took a sip of tea, but did not answer immediately, because he knew that his statement would directly affect the direction of the court. In the flash of lightning, Zhang Juzheng was thinking a lot. He looked at Wang Daokun, then Wang Guoguang, waved his hand and said: "Stop talking, stop talking."

Wang Daokun and Wang Guoguang immediately went to invite Wan Shihe, and Zhang Juzheng allowed the gentlemen to come in.

Those who opposed the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty were all conservatives. What conservatives hate most is change. Conservatives have always advocated royalism. The influx of large amounts of silver stirred people's thoughts, and their thoughts on humanistic thoughts, financial affairs, and political systems were a little less. If you are not careful, it will affect the imperial power.

Wan Shihe is a die-hard imperialist. Wan Shihe joined. The issue discussed was not to be discussed without His Majesty. When the idea is immature, it is extremely hasty to report it to His Majesty. However, Your Majesty has no idea what they are talking about. Ignorance is also very dangerous. After adding Wanshi and this snake oil, everything is no longer a problem.

During the nine years that Wang Daokun has been in Songjiang Prefecture, he has witnessed countless industries from scratch in Songjiang Prefecture, and has witnessed the birth of goods. The sails covering the sky and sun in Xingang Port are the miracle of Daming Sea Trade.

If you can't win again and again, it's better to do some reliable business.

"What are we going to talk about specifically, the rites of the officials, and the four ministers are here." Wan Shihe took a sip of tea. He was studying Xu Jiugao's sailing notes to compile "Overseas Fanguo Zhi" when he was suddenly called to Quan Chu Guild Hall asked curiously.

"Yes! Waste!" Wang Daokun's eyes lit up. To this extent, His Majesty in Tsing Yi would never be involved!
The experienced Da Situ still knows the art of speaking.

Women and children raising silkworms on silk, vendors walking around the streets collecting silk, weavers processing silkworm cocoons into raw silk, weavers from the weaving bureau weaving silk satins, craftsmen in dyeing workshops, laborers carrying goods, and people in the porcelain kiln. The kiln workers, shipyard workers, logging people, the long industrial chain of tung oil, etc., all goods are closely related to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

During the seven months since Wang Daokun came to Beijing, he has been studying the question of what silver is. The silver production in the Ming Dynasty was very low, so the silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty. He went to Songjiang Prefecture and operated it as the first port in the Ming Dynasty. , a steady flow of goods in exchange for an inflow of silver.

In short, Nanyang is gradually becoming the back garden of the Ming Dynasty under the development of Yin Zhengmao.

"The silver of the Ming Dynasty is the hard-earned money of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and these hard-earned money are being wasted. This waste is mainly concentrated in three aspects. The first is the idling of dams, the second is repeated sinking, and the third is loss. Overseas." Wang Daokun started talking.

Wang Daokun and Wang Guoguang came to the Quanchu Guild Hall again and found Yuanfu, the great master of the Ming Dynasty. Because they had this memorial, they wanted to show it to Zhang Juzheng first before submitting the memorial. Zhang Juzheng waved his hands repeatedly to signal the two of them not to do this! There is no injustice or enmity, so why do you want to harm him, Zhang Juzheng, to such an extent?

And as soon as this sentence comes out, why should the hereditary official class, military honors, and clan members be hereditary?
The meaning of these words is equivalent to that of princes and generals.

Is this Zhejiang Party planning to be radical from beginning to end?
"Specific issues, specific discussions." Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and decided to set limits for Wang Daokun. The issue of silver can be discussed, but His Majesty cannot be involved.

Wang Guoguang looked at Wan Shihe, and Wang Daokun immediately understood. He already knew the specific scope.

Wanli Tongbao weighing two qian is about five baht, one pound is sixteen taels, one tael is 24 baht, and one tael is also ten yuan.

The inflow of silver is the concrete manifestation of labor.

"What Da Sikong said makes sense." Wan Shihe was silent for a moment, feeling that Wang Daokun's words might lead to a bloody storm!

No one can accuse the Ming Emperor of being extravagant, because His Majesty wears Tsing Yi, which emperor wears Tsing Yi.

Repetition means that Daming's handicraft workshops always do repetitive things over and over again. It is obvious that the family has completely conquered it or accidentally found a way to improve productivity, but they just use it behind closed doors, and others are taboo to inquire about it. There is a lack of a mechanism to reduce duplication of investment.

The sinking was a very heartbreaking thing for Wang Daokun. The Ming Dynasty handicraft workshop was invested in, but the operation was poor. It was finally left vacant. The huge investment was shelved. It was as heartbreaking as fertile land with no one to cultivate it. A large amount of silver was buried. In the pigsty!
The loss of money overseas is a new contradiction after the Ming Dynasty opened the sea. The wealthy households of the Ming Dynasty were afraid of the majesty of the court and opposed the interference of the court, so they took the hard-earned money of the Ming Dynasty overseas. The development of the Yuanxu Islands was vigorous, and this was the reason , Ming Dynasty’s silver is losing and fleeing.

"If you want to talk about waste, you can talk about it." Zhang Juzheng was relieved. His feelings were not for the emperor, so he could talk about it.

"I have been governor of Songjiang for nine years. I am watching the sunset today. Da Sikong is no longer what he used to be. Back then, Da Sikong was best at composing some dramas." Zhang Juzheng looked at Wang Daokun with emotion. This guy was the best at writing dramas in the past. Jia, who has served in Songjiang Prefecture for many years, has now become a radical among radicals.

Wang Daokun thought very well about the silver issue.

Wang Daokun talked eloquently about the phenomenon, the problems behind the phenomenon, and the causes of the problems, but at this point, it was still empty talk. Wang Daokun must come up with concrete and feasible methods, at least there should be a clear program.

"Then how should this problem of wasted silver be solved?" Zhang Juzheng asked curiously. He had some ideas, but they were immature.

Wang Daokun stood up and said loudly with a red face: "The best way is to increase assets! As long as the silver of current assets can be fixed as fixed assets of the Ming Dynasty, overseas plantations, tung gardens in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, reclaimed land, handicrafts Workshops, family houses and farm buildings, large workshops, government factories, and even training of boatmen and craftsmen can be regarded as increasing the assets of the Ming Dynasty. "

"As long as the fixed assets increase, there will be no waste!" Zhang Juzheng nodded and began to understand Wang Daokun's words. In fact, even the humble Confucians and the supervisors of the Imperial College could not understand what Wang Daokun was talking about, but Zhang Juzheng could understand.

Are overseas plantations considered fixed assets of the Ming Dynasty? Indeed, because the output of these plantations cannot be digested by overseas countries, it will eventually be fed back to the Ming Dynasty. Overseas plantations are also part of the fixed assets of the Ming Dynasty.

Can boat masters and craftsmen be considered fixed assets? To fully understand this, you must be proficient in the "Production Diagram". The production diagram divides assets into reserved, mobile and fixed assets, and a person's experience is also a fixed asset, especially a large number of educated talents, which is a valuable fixed asset of Ming Dynasty. Assets, boat masters are also part of the fixed assets of Ming Dynasty.

Is there an inevitable connection between asset appreciation and silver waste? The connection is very close, and the speed of asset growth is almost the same as the speed of silver inflow, so that silver can flow smoothly and function as a thoroughfare for department stores.

"Felipe II knows Da Sikong's talents and will probably risk everything to take Da Sikong back to Taixi to be the Minister of State." Zhang Juzheng said sincerely.

Wang Daokun then sat down and said: "Ah, this is actually just a fool's calculation, and he will only get something. Yuan Fu is ridiculous."

The test of asset proliferation has become a typical example of using administrative power to interfere with the market. The value-added of these fixed assets can be quantified and then tested. The overall growth rate of fixed assets in Ming Dynasty must reach at least 70% of the inflow of silver. , is considered efficient, and does not even require excessive administrative investment. It only needs to export the quantity of various commodities from sea trade, and a rough inference can be made.

Zhang Juzheng's mind has been turned upside down, and countless policies have taken shape.

Zhang Juzheng was shocked to find that he originally implemented the New Deal to solve problems, but in the end, one problem was solved and two others emerged! He thought that after completing the major tasks of passing the imperial examination, clearing his father's land, rectifying academic affairs, and revitalizing the military and military, he should enjoy the changes brought by the New Deal to the Ming Dynasty. As a result, Wang Chonggu gave him a land equalization service. Wang Daokun gave him the task of asset enhancement.

When will this... be busy? Although it feels good to be busy, it is too fulfilling.

"I have a few immature ideas. For example, if the silver is lost overseas, can we levy profit tax on it? If he takes the silver out, he will have to pay 50% of his assets in Daming in one go. If he leaves Daming After that, the tariff should be increased to at least %,” Wang Daokun said tentatively.

Profits tax is designed not only to ensure tax fairness and prevent the loss of tax revenue caused by wealth transfer, but also to facilitate tax inspection by tax authorities and prevent tax evasion.

As soon as the radicals took action, it was a killer move. When the sea was not opened, Ming Dynasty did not need to face this problem, but after the sea was opened, this issue became particularly important. The silver earned by the hard work of the people of Ming Dynasty flowed into , it was lost in vain, and it was Ming Dynasty that lost it!

Finding a way to fix the silver of liquid assets is Wang Daokun's main purpose.

"How to implement it?" Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and felt that it was extremely difficult to implement.

Da Situ Wang Guoguang immediately said: "It's very simple. You only need to block the gold, silver and copper and put them out to sea. If the Zheshe households really want to escape, they must turn all the assets in their hands into silver, and then take them with them." When the silver leaves, the land, buildings, and workshops cannot be taken away, so it is called a profits tax, which is an additional tax imposed on the silver going overseas.”

Zheshe households only need to exchange their assets for silver, and then they can leave in a big way. How can such a good thing happen? In the past, it could not be transferred because there was no inflow of silver. Now that there is sufficient general equivalent, this will inevitably happen.

Zhang Juzheng nodded. It has to be said that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs got together. These two scholars came together and came up with a good idea.

If silver is blocked from flowing overseas, assets will be blocked from fleeing.

"Why do they want to leave? The Ming Dynasty is a kingdom in heaven. If you go overseas with silver, isn't that like abandoning your roots and chasing the weak?" Wan Shihe frowned, feeling that Wang Daokun was making alarmist remarks. The luxury households are not stupid. Looking at the entire earth, the Ming Dynasty They are all the most prosperous ones. Why not go abroad and show your teeth to gorillas? Overseas is a wild land.

Wang Daokun is questioning the value of the Celestial Kingdom.

"It is the nature of the people to settle down and relocate. It is the nature of the people to stay together with flesh and blood." Wan Shihe explained his doubts. He felt that Wang Daokun was somewhat shooting in the air. Where did the current Ming Dynasty come from such a problem? How can there be such a problem under the culture?

If these people who live in a sheltered household are not doing so well, wouldn’t they become refugees when they go overseas? The common people became refugees because they could no longer survive. What kind of brains did these overbearing households have to do this?

It doesn't make sense logically.

To be more precise, Wan Shi and the Minister of Rites did not believe it.

"Yes, flesh and blood are the same as human beings." Wang Daokun said with emotion: "If I hadn't seen this strange phenomenon with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. Do you know why the Zheshe households fled? They think the Ming Dynasty no freedom."

"Freedom?" Wan Shihe's face was filled with '? '.

This reason stunned Wan Shihe, who had studied ancient and modern times. He boasted that he had read not only 10,000 but also 100,000 volumes of books. Wan Shihe was really puzzled by this reason.

Wang Daokun said with mixed emotions: "Yes, they are free. They feel that the imperial government is lenient. In the past, they had no choice. Now if they have the opportunity, they will go overseas. They would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. They would rather be arrogant overseas. Fu, they no longer want to be restricted by the court. In their understanding, Zheshe households are just pigs waiting to be slaughtered. As long as they are fattened, the court will kill the pigs, and if the court is short of money, they will kill the pigs. "

"Yin Zhengmao demolished the door and moved the bed, and even took the door to Luzon and used it as the gate of the Governor's Mansion. Ling Yunyi simply killed people and refused to pledge donations or give up his wealth, so heads were rolling in. Zhang Siwei, Yanzhou Kongfu, Xinzhou The Du Yang family, Nan Ya Qingzhang Huan Tian, ​​Ji Tax Yuan..."

Wang Daokun simply cited a few examples. From the perspective of the Zheshe household, the Ming Dynasty was harshly criticizing the noble families. Even the Confucius Mansion collapsed. It was strange that they could feel safe. They always felt a chill on the back of their necks, and it was like dreaming. The sharp sword hangs from the top, and he will die at any time.

"They didn't violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so the court had nothing to do but stare at them?" Wan Shihe spread his hands.

Wang Daokun said with a smile: "It will be more uncomfortable for you to make them abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty than to kill them."

"This profit tax is good." Zhang Juzheng said with considerable approval: "It's very good. If there is a memorial, I can jointly submit it."

In the joint report, it was Zhang Juzheng who was scolded. He had too many lice but it didn't itch. Compared with a few scoldings, the waste of silver was the problem that needed to be solved urgently.

The essence of silver in the Ming Dynasty is the hard-earned money of the people of the Ming Dynasty. There is no doubt about this, because all commercial goods are created by the people's hands; a large amount of silver flowing in is idling in the dams, sinking repeatedly, and is lost overseas. The inflow of silver did not fulfill its function as currency; in the face of this problem, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Accounts gave a solution to achieve asset growth and limit the outflow of silver.

Just like when Zhai Luan, the minister of the Ministry of War, was eliminated and revitalized in the Beijing camp, Zhai Luan provided all the phenomena, problems, causes, and practical solutions, but he just couldn't do it, and he was noisy and counterproductive. Repeatedly for many years, but in the end there was no result.

However, the Ming Dynasty in the ninth year of Wanli did not have problems with implementation. Zhang Juzheng's personal prestige and the institutional construction of his New Deal could ensure the smooth flow of government orders. The restoration of the administrative power of the Ming Dynasty was the foundation of all New Deals.

Zhang Juzheng communicated with Wang Daokun and Wang Guoguang for a long time, mainly to strengthen the circulation of silver from six aspects.

Profits tax is only one of them.

Second: Minting, Ming silver coins with a face value and weight of one tael, will be expanded in the capital. Currently, the Ming court only prints 400,000 silver coins a year. This number will become one million silver coins in five years. Within ten years, it will increase to the same amount as the inflow of silver before silver can initially turn into a real currency; Wanli Tongbao will need to reach 5 billion within five years, and more than 8 billion within ten years to completely pierce the weir. plug.

The Ministry of Industry has the Baoyuan Bureau, and the Ministry of Households has the Baochao Bureau. These are the places where Wanli Tongbao was minted and Baobao was printed during the Ming Dynasty. This time, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Husbandry joined forces with the Military War Bureau, which was affiliated with the Internal Affairs Bureau. Die cast in silver.

Third: the Ministry of Commerce, the institutional construction of the Ministry of Commerce, the establishment of a three-level merchant management organization between commercial banks, merchant gangs, and merchants, to improve management functions, and even establish the Ministry of Commerce when necessary, and six departments will become seven departments, specializing in business management. With the influx of large amounts of silver, the imperial court has deeply felt the power of money, so this power must not get out of control and carry out administrative management of business.

Excessive administrative management will lose its vitality, but without any administrative management, it will degenerate into the slave era. The Central Plains has gone from slavery, feudalism (feudal land and country building) to the county system. Necessary administrative management will not lead to conflicts among all social strata and collectives. There is a loss of coordination among forces.

Fourth: Schools, craftsman schools and boat master schools must be expanded. This needs to be realized based on government and factory alliances. Cultivating talents is a necessary step for the increase of fixed assets in the Ming Dynasty. The ability of the human subject to change nature is the definition of productivity, which is divorced from A people-centered program will be wrong for the world.

Jinzhou, Tianjin, Mizhou, Ningbo, Fuzhou, Guangzhou and other nine places with close commercial shipping exchanges, relied on the Municipal Shipping Department to establish maritime schools, which became a five-year plan.

Fifth: Circulation. The Civil Credit Bureau has emerged in the private sector. Based on the Kowloon Post Road leading to various parts of the Ming Dynasty, relying on the post station, it carries out official acceptance and exchange. This is to increase commercial and trade circulation, and it is also to increase the conversion of silver into silver coins and solve the problem. Yes, the Ming Dynasty's Zheshe households buried their money in pigsties. Burying silver in pigsties is also a typical feature of the Ming Dynasty people's hard-earned money being idle in the hands of a few people.

Silver as a currency has its own limitations. Whether it is bulk trade or small transactions, there are many limitations. For example, the Ming Dynasty's silver ingot counterfeiting technology was superb, which put bulk trade into a dilemma of inspection, and small transactions Amount transactions require silver clipping, and it is most convenient to calculate transactions in units of two. For small-amount transactions, due to the long-term absence of Ming Tongbao, the downward precipitation of silver is also part of the waste.

Sixth: Open technology, rely on Huangzhuang, price technology, and transform technology from intangible assets to purchasable and tradable assets. Anyone needs to purchase technology from Huangzhuang before they can apply it, and part of Huangzhuang Part of the harvest needs to be distributed to individuals or collectives who make technological breakthroughs. This is a real way to encourage investment in private workshops and at the same time reduce internal consumption.

"Actually, I think that at the moment, it is better to directly buy out the technology from Huangzhuang and then sell it." Wan Shihe had been listening, but when it came to his professional field, he put forward his own opinions.

The direct buyout of Huangzhuang relies on the emperor's firm credibility, not robbery. Although His Majesty is stingy, he has never forcibly occupied any technology, whether it is Wang Chonggu's "Mao Woolen Official Factory Chronicle" or the Royal Collection of Objects All the achievements of Zhu Zaiyu of the Academy belong to whomever belongs to them. Even the theory of contradictions has Zhang Juzheng's signature.

Faced with the barbaric occupation of Zheshehu, an individual has no ability to resist. It is better to pretend to rely on imperial power.

"Your opinion is very good!" Zhang Juzheng's eyes lit up after hearing this. For matters like surrender, it still depends on the imperial party. Others are not opponents.

Your Majesty's imperial power will have one more hegemony, and that is technological hegemony. Even if the Ming Dynasty royal family is unfilial in the future, this technological hegemony will be enough to eat and drink.

"Would Wang Cifu object?" Wang Daokun said worriedly.

Zhang Juzheng said with certainty: "No, Wang Chonggu has been busy beating his son recently."

Wang Chonggu beat his son in his spare time. This matter in the old Wang family has become a joke in the capital, and everyone knows it.
