The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 135

"Eldest son."

Yuan Rong entered the Shizi's Mansion, and clearly saw the position of the Eldest Prince in the Palace, with some envy in his eyes.

Just because he was not a son-in-law, he suffered a lot of grievances in his own family.

"Please sit down."

Zhu Gaochi didn't expect Yuan Rong to come to the door so early, tugged at his sleeves, and the maid was in a hurry before going out.

"Okay, Eldest Young Master." Yuan Rong smiled.

The attitude is very correct.

Zhu Gaochi was very satisfied with Yuan Rong's performance.

The reason why he was used was not only because of his marriage contract with the elder sister, nor because of his talent, but because of his obedience.

In history, Zhu Di did what he asked him to do, and he resolutely refused to do what he didn't do. Even if he did half of it, he would quit immediately after receiving Zhu Di's order.

Relying on this advantage, he was active for three dynasties.

"In some places, my long-term follower doesn't have enough face, so I need you to come forward." Zhu Gaochi explained in detail.

"The people below dare to defy?" Yuan Rong said flatteringly.

Zhu Gaochi didn't believe that Yuan Rong didn't understand, but he still smiled.

"Power and power, combined, are effective at the top and bottom, and separated, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom."

"Besides, the chief secretary is the boss of the local government. The government's management of the local government is not justified, let alone us. It is human nature not to resist on the surface, but to shirk in reality."

Yuan Rong didn't continue to pretend to be stupid, and he understood the reason why too much was too much.

Since the Eldest Young Master found him, he must handle it well, not to disappoint the Eldest Young Master, and think about how to solve this matter.

Zhu Gaochi didn't bother Yuan Rong, and took a sip of hot tea.

Zhu Di was worried about his money matters, but Zhu Gaochi thought that money matters were not difficult, but political issues were difficult.

Even political problems cannot be solved by Zhu Di.

The money of the poor cannot be earned at present, and he cannot earn the money of the rich.

The reason why the rich don't spend money is because they have already spent money, and there are no more commodities on the market that are worth their money.

A new type of briquette stove, the style is not fancy?Then make it beautiful.

Use more precious materials to let the craftsmen hollow out and carve more exquisite patterns. The new coal stove of two or three taels of silver will not impress them, but the new coal stove of two or thirty taels will naturally impress them.

It is beneficial to life in the first place, and the palace is using it, and it works well, so who would not use it.

When the cost goes down in the future, and the prices of iron and wood are all low, the common people can use it for a tael of silver.

One tael of silver is not enough, five qian silver should be used.

Aren't all commodities from the rich to the rich, and from the rich to the common people? This has been the case for thousands of years.

Water pipes, fountains with fountains...

Zhu Gaochi has no shortage of ways to make money, and so does the market.

Shortly after.

Wang Ren, the chairman of the Honeycomb Chamber of Commerce, who is in charge of the outer cabinet of the China Heavy Industry Steam Engine Factory, and Guo Song, the vice president of the Honeycomb Chamber of Commerce, the owner of the Honeycomb Coal Workshop.

This is Yanwang Mansion.

The two were both nervous and excited.

"This is Yuan Rong, the son of the founding hero. I will help you next time. Tell me about the most difficult problem you have encountered so far."

Zhu Gaochi didn't pretend to be so profound.

What superiors remain mysterious and so on.

He is the eldest son of Prince Yan's mansion, and this title is already the most advanced means, there is no need to do anything, and a lot of people are vying for their allegiance.

Yuan Rong didn't despise the two of them just because they were white, and stopped the two from kneeling with enthusiasm.

Since the young prince valued the two of them, even being white would not affect anything.

Fox fake tiger prestige is also prestige.

After Wang Ren thanked Yuan Rong, he said, "It's not a big problem to rent a house, and it's not a big problem to buy coal. The difficulty is that the local governments don't collect taxes."

With such a good opportunity, Guo Song would not remain silent, and said cautiously: "Honeycomb coal is not very profitable. If it cannot be tax-free like firewood, it will be difficult to proceed."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, looked at Yuan Rong and smiled.

"Honeycomb, like firewood, is related to people's livelihood. It should be tax-free and strongly supported. However, honeycomb is a new thing after all, and many local governments do not have this view."

"Peking City can agree to tax exemption, but the rest of the places are not easy to solve, and the attitude is a bit strong."

This is the difference between guards and officials.

Regarding the affairs of the prince's mansion, the door of convenience is wide open in the guard, but when it comes to the local area, the government only listens to the Chief Secretary and follows the orders of the Chasi Yamen.

After all, the local government is directly under the management of the Second Division, and must listen to the Second Division.

"The King of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is hard to deal with. It's not good for the Chief Secretary to reject the Wangfu's face. The local government is far away from the Wangfu, so it is more courageous."

Yuan Rong said with a smile, understanding what problem he had to deal with.

Although the attitude is relaxed, but the heart is heavy.

This problem is not easy to solve.

Not to mention that he is just a concubine, even with the status of his elder brother, the local government may not give face, but the young prince will go to the place himself to force the government to back down.

But the little prince can solve the problem by himself, what else is needed from him.

"Let me try, if it doesn't work, don't blame me, my little prince."

"You do your best."

Zhu Gaochi knew the difficulties and did not embarrass Yuan Rong.

"You two just listen to Yuan Rong."

"Yes."

Wang Ren, Guo Song quickly responded.

Out of Shizifu.

Yuan Rong said to the two: "There are nearly two hundred prefectures and counties. Let's start with the prefectures first, and then the counties. If there are disagreements, don't waste time and go directly to the next one."

Finally, he emphasized: "Take down the persuasive parts first, and then find a way to go back and solve the rest."

It is the best policy to start with the easy and then the difficult, and start working as soon as possible to make a profit.

The two were convinced.

The cold weather does not deter those who want to climb up.

A group of people started from Baoding Prefecture to visit the local prefect or county magistrate one by one.

Compared with Zhang Quan, Yuan Rong is the son of the founding meritorious service and worked for Yan Wangfu, so he has much more face than Zhang Quan.

At least no official refuses to see him, even if he shirks in private, we still have to see him in person, so we can't offend anyone, right?

Yuan Rong was very sincere, and he really took this matter as his major event, and sincerely persuaded the officials.

Officials are not fools, so they naturally know the benefits of briquettes.

Every year, in order to solve the problem of the use of firewood by the people in the city, civilian husbands are organized to cut firewood. Not only the civilians who serve in the army are suffering, but the government also has to worry about it every year.

They don't dare to persecute the people too much. Today's saints keep a close eye on officials and use vicious methods. Which official is not afraid.

As for the use of military service to force the people to destroy their homes and annex their fields, at least most officials are currently afraid.

In this way, there is no benefit, no beneficial thing, and the government has to worry about it every year, which is a trouble.

The briquette itself is a good thing, it can solve the problem of the people in the city cooking and heating, and solve the troubles of the government, but behind this thing is the Yanwang Mansion.

Who dare not care about the Chief Secretary's attitude?People hold official hats.

Therefore, even though Yuan Rong put in great effort, the effect was not great, and the government from all over the country refused to face to face, but in fact they did not implement it.

To ask is to drag words.

After Zhu Gaochi learned about it, he could only go to Zhu Di.

Tang Yun, the commander of the Central Guard, was also there.

If one had to find out who was the most loyal to Zhu Di among the commanders of the three guards, it would undoubtedly be Tang Yun.

Going down, from the perspective of thousands of households, No. 1 is Qiu Fu.

If it wasn't for Qiu Fu's carelessness at the end, which led to his early death in battle and Zhu Gaoxu's loss of his biggest supporter, then when Zhu Gaoxu rebelled, the situation would be really hard to say, at least he would not fail easily.

But now whether it is Tang Yun or Qiu Fu, Zhu Gaochi is confident that the two will support him, and the second brother can stop his ambitions.

"Do you think the government will give you face if you go to the local government in person?"

Hearing Zhu Di's tone, Zhu Gaochi underestimated himself a little.

Zhu Di glanced at Tang Yun, the veteran Tang Yun came to become a master, and he would not participate in the affairs of the two fathers and sons, so he didn't say a word.

"Boss." Zhu Di sighed, the eldest son did have some prestige in the guard, but he didn't understand.

"Face is given by others, but it is lost by oneself."

"We don't dare to talk about the Beiping government. All the local government will give us face, so we never express our position on local affairs easily."

"Because if you don't express your opinion, you won't be rejected. If you don't get rejected, you won't lose face. If you don't lose face, people outside will be jealous of the palace. They don't know how much face the palace has."

This makes sense.

Zhu Gaochi was speechless for a while.

Seeing that the eldest son could listen to people's persuasion, Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction and continued, "It's fine if the government gives you face when you go to the place, but if it doesn't, it will affect your prestige."

"You can ask someone to come forward, such as asking Yuan Rong to run errands for you, but you must not end in person."

Zhu Gaochi understood Zhu Di's way of doing things.

But he has his difficulties.

"Could it be that the matter of the honeycomb coal chamber of commerce really cannot be resolved?"

Zhu Di and Tang Yun looked at each other and smiled.

Tang Yun took the initiative to persuade.

"Little prince, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so why not wait a few days and have a look, maybe the situation will change."

Zhu Gaochi blinked.

They must know something they don't know, but they don't reveal it to themselves.

I didn't lose because I was not as smart as them, but because my understanding of the court information was not as good as the two of them.

Since everyone said to let himself wait, Zhu Gaochi could only wait.

……

Beiping Chief Secretary, there are not many people in the yamen, and the New Year is approaching. Although the yamen is not yet on holiday, the atmosphere has long been relaxed.

Some people still come to Dianmao in the morning, and then sneak home, and more people don't come in the morning.

experience division.

"Everything hasn't left, it's not good." Some young officials with junior seniority dared not slip away.

"The other yamen have long since disappeared."

Someone urged.

"It's only been a few months since I came to the yamen, so I naturally have to put on a posture. The new official has three fires after taking office, but the three fires haven't been burned yet, so be careful."

Someone pointed out cautiously.

Now, even the old senior didn't dare to talk about running away.

Experience the company room.

Su Guan received an official document from the court, opened it, and stood up in shock, his face full of disbelief.
