Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 433: Brother Prince, do you have anything else? (Please subscribe!!)
Father, have you forgotten what you just said?
When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Ouyang Lun once again staged the scene of being a loving son-in-law and a filial piety in front of him, Zhu Biao couldn't hold himself any longer.

Before Ouyang Lun came, Zhu Yuanzhang clamored to teach Ouyang Lun a lesson, but after Ouyang Lun came, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately transformed into a kind, kind, and amiable father-in-law? ? ?
The speed with which he changes his face is simply unparalleled in this article. It has never been seen before!

But then again, it is better for Zhu Yuanzhang and Ouyang Lun to be "civil and filial" than to fight each other when they meet. After all, the last fight in the Zongren Mansion after drinking has almost become an unforgettable thing in Zhu Biao's mind. Gone are the shadows.

"Emperor's father-in-law."

"Ugh!"

"Xian son-in-law, how is the business going with those foreign businessmen?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked quickly.

"Please rest assured, the emperor's father-in-law, most of the foreign businessmen have already loaded up their goods and headed towards their own countries." Ouyang Lun nodded.

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "As long as these businesses are implemented, it means that the benefits from the God of Wealth Banquet have completely fallen into our pockets, amounting to tens of millions of dollars!"

Zhu Biao also spoke at this time: "Father, the benefits we have gained are far beyond this business. These merchants brought our Ming Dynasty's goods back to their respective countries. With the quality of our Ming Dynasty's goods, they will soon occupy other countries." At that time, more businessmen from other countries will come to our country, and they will make more money!"

"Biao'er is right, so right!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Although the God of Wealth Banquet is only held once, I hope this will definitely not be the last time!"

"The emperor's father-in-law and the prince's uncle, from now on, the development momentum of our Ming Dynasty is very good, but if we want to fully develop the Ming Dynasty, just doing this is not enough!" Ouyang Lun explained, "Hong Kong Village Trade The trade volume of the region is not large enough, so we take advantage of this opportunity to send personnel to various countries to attract investment or investment operations. We not only sell goods, but also sell technology and knowledge. Only in this way can we make more money! "

Zhu Yuanzhang asked quickly.

"Selling technology and knowledge? Brother-in-law Ouyang, what do you mean?"

"There are no other things, but there is one thing that we must pay attention to, and that is the protection of trade routes!" Ouyang Lun said.

"Little Dongying is already kneeling on the ground and calling daddy. What kind of route protection do we need?" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

What Ouyang Lun said directly moved Zhu Yuanzhang.

"You want to go to the territory of another country? Do you have to do this?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "We think the current situation is good enough, there is no need to work so hard."

"Xian son-in-law, do you have any suggestions about this?"

"My dear son-in-law, please continue?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked hurriedly.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, I think my father's worries are unfounded. Sending people abroad is not a trivial matter. You must be cautious." Zhu Biao also said quickly.

“If you want to be rich, build roads first!”

"There are many pirates on the sea, not just Japanese pirates. In the future, trade will not be limited to offshore seas. We have to go to the deep sea and encounter many crises. Ordinary caravans cannot face them alone. So at this time, We need the protection of the Ming Navy!" Ouyang Lun said solemnly.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Ouyang Lun nodded, "The emperor's father-in-law has a better approach. Then my son-in-law will thank the officials of the Trade Department and Investment Promotion Department!"

"Ok!"

Ouyang Lun came today actually because he wanted to communicate with Zhu Yuanzhang about something. When he heard Zhu Yuanzhang ask this, Ouyang Lun immediately said: "The emperor's father-in-law and the minister's son-in-law are going to arrange for officials from the Overseas Trade Department and Overseas Investment Department to go and meet with us. Countries with which we trade, make further publicity!”

"We understand, you can take care of this matter." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "These merchants who engage in maritime trade are all chickens that can lay golden eggs, so they cannot die."

"As for the virtuous son-in-law, you just said about sending out officials. In this way, in the name of the court, they are appointed as envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and they go according to the Ming Dynasty's credentials to promote the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty!"

"For example, building roads, city walls, new communities, etc., we have almost done it domestically, and I believe we need it abroad too!"

"In addition, our people can also collect intelligence from other countries to understand the entire world!"

"Father, brother-in-law Ouyang said that the Ming Navy should serve as a guard for merchant ships to ensure the smooth progress of trade. I also think it is necessary." Zhu Biao said from the side.

I took 40 million, just to give some envoys names. No matter how you look at it, you have earned it yourself.

"Xianxiang, do you think those foreign businessmen will think that we deceived them after they know the true price of the goods I sold to them in Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked a little embarrassed.

The dignified Emperor Ming and his son-in-law teamed up to deceive people. If this matter spread, it would be somewhat undesirable.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Ouyang Lun smiled slightly and said, "The emperor's father-in-law is too worried. The bustle in the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Even if those foreign businessmen know the true price of those goods, they will still treat me Ming Dynasty’s goods are in great demand!”

"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Because they can earn more from buying Daming's goods than they can from buying other goods. Since they can earn more, they don't need to care about the purchase price at all!" Ouyang Lun said slowly.

"Father, what Ouyang brother-in-law means is that we gave those foreign businessmen the opportunity to make money, and of course we have to distribute the profits!" Zhu Biao said again.

"We understand, you don't need to translate." Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"Okay, okay, we've figured everything out, you two should go do it quickly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, as if he wanted to drive people away.

"My son-in-law retires."

"My son, please retire!"

Ouyang Lun and Zhu Biao looked at each other, bowed and left together.

After Ouyang Lun and Zhu Biao left, Zhu Yuanzhang sat back on the dragon chair, picked up the account book again, looked solemn, and whispered:

"Is this the power of the economy?"

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang actually looked down on business people. He believed that business people were profit-seeking people who were not of much use to the Ming Dynasty. They were even corrupting officials of the Ming Dynasty!

But Ouyang Lun showed him a brand new management method.

Economy or economic warfare.

The first time I came across the term economic warfare was when I was in Beizhili. In order to prevent the Bei Yuan army from going south, the Ming Dynasty spent huge sums of money to build the Great Wall, but it still only made it more difficult for the Bei Yuan army to go south, but could not prevent the Bei Yuan army from going south to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the Great Wall is a dead thing after all, and the Beiyuan army can still bypass it.

Ever since Wang Baobao led hundreds of thousands of troops southward and was repulsed, Beiyuan has never launched an attack on the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty. There has never even been a small group of cavalry to harass the frontier. Is this the credit of the New Great Wall? It can only be said that one of them is, but the bigger reason is that Ming Dynasty conducted an economic war on the Mobei grassland.

Economic warfare is a battle without smoke, and even the enemy prairie people may not have reacted yet.

With the cooperation of the Chita tribe, the Ming Dynasty continuously imported goods to the grassland, which seemed to make the grassland people live a better life, but in fact it made the grassland people deeply understand the history of the Ming Dynasty. These are not Zhu Yuanzhang's wild thoughts, but the feedback from Jin Yiwei's continuous collection of intelligence.

After so many years of continuous economic war, the grassland people of the Northern Desert have become extremely dependent on the Ming Dynasty's goods. It can be said that the grassland people are now even more unwilling to go to war with the Ming Dynasty.

Summarizing all the intelligence, Zhu Yuanzhang can already be met. It won't be long before the Ming Dynasty can really take over the Beimo Grassland without any effort, and the Beiyuan royal family will surrender on its own initiative.

All of this developed just as Ouyang Lun had originally described.

"The economic war on the Northern Desert Grassland is just a small test. Ouyang Lun's bigger focus is overseas!!"

When this idea came into his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang himself was startled and excited at the same time. If it succeeds, the Ming Dynasty's royal flag will be planted even further! !

"However, the situation in overseas countries is different from that in the Mobei Grassland. I wonder what new methods Ouyang Lun will use. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Ouyang Lun is indeed capable. Now we just have to see how much Biao'er can learn from being with Ouyang Lun!"

"If that guy Ouyang Lun misleads me, don't blame me for turning against him!"

Nowadays, Zhu Yuanzhang has handed over many things to Zhu Biao in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang also knows that he is old, and Zhu Biao is the heir to the training. He has taught almost everything that can be taught, and has learned by following him. If you can't find anything, it's time to find a new teacher for Zhu Biao.

Although Zhu Biao is older than Ouyang Lun, he is still much worse than Ouyang Lun in terms of ability, especially those novel methods, such as economic warfare. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also found that Ouyang Lun's ability to penetrate people's hearts was no weaker than his.

Beiyuan was destroyed.

Zhu Biao grew up to be a capable gentleman.

Then he will feel at ease in hell.

"Ayawn——"

Ouyang Lun was walking on the road when he suddenly sneezed.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you've caught a cold? I'll take you to the Imperial Hospital to have a look?" Zhu Biao was nearby and asked quickly when he saw what happened.

"Thank you for your concern, brother-in-law, Prince. I'm fine." Ouyang Lun waved his hand, "It's not like I'm infected with the cold, it's more like someone is whispering about me behind my back!"

"Who dares to chew the base of your tongue, brother-in-law Ouyang?" Zhu Biao was a little confused.

"That's a lot. Your father is one of them!" Although there is no evidence, Ouyang Lun feels that it is most likely Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, he just came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Father?" Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's many faces, and nodded, "Don't say it, it's really possible."

"Forget it, let's not talk about him. If he sneezes later, he will definitely cause trouble for me!" Ouyang Lun waved his hand again, "Brother, the prince's uncle, my clan's mansion and your East Palace are not on the same path, so let's just Let’s separate here.”

After saying that, Ouyang Lun strode towards the clan mansion, but after taking two steps, he stopped because he found that Zhu Biao was still following him.

"Brother Prince, do you have anything else to do?"

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, my father asked me to study with you. We were all busy with the God of Wealth Banquet before. Now that the God of Wealth Banquet is over, do we have to catch up on our fallen learning progress?" Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I have been busy recently. I happen to have time, or else."

"I don't have time!"

Upon hearing Zhu Biao's words, Ouyang Lun suddenly felt a little dizzy.

There are still a large group of princes and grandsons living in the Zongren Mansion, and now Zhu Yuanzhang has given Zhu Biao to him. He simply doesn't treat him as a human being!

If the other princes and grandsons were fine, they could just take them back to the clan mansion and leave them to Zhu Wenhai as the head teacher. But Zhu Biao is a prince, and an adult prince at that. He needs prestige, prestige, and ability. Obviously, there is no way to do this. .

If he had her with him every day, how could he be intimate with Princess Anqing?
"Brother Prince, do you think this will work? There are two most important things next. One is the promotion of the first five-year plan, and the other is overseas trade. These are led by the Ministry of Revenue. Guo Zi has already followed I have said many times that Tobe is too busy and will be exhausted. "

"The prince's brother-in-law directly goes to the household department to take charge of the work. If you and Guo Zi don't understand anything, come and ask me. Anyway, I have handed over the trade routines and trade rules to Guo Zi. You can learn from Guo Zi and practice them. Save time and effort! Hello, hello, everyone! ”

Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

Zhu Biao thought for a while and then nodded, "Okay, I will report to the Ministry of Household Affairs tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "The work of the Ministry of Finance is very intense now. Brother, Prince, you'd better go back and rest quickly, otherwise you won't have time to rest later."

"I have to go back and rest, bye!"

After saying that, Ouyang Lun rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and left.

the next day.

Zhu Biao came to the Ministry of Household Affairs early in the morning.

Guo Zi, the minister of the Ministry of Hubu, received the news yesterday that Prince Zhu Biao was coming. He also made preparations early and waited at the door of the Yamen of the Ministry of Hubu with the officials of the Ministry of Hubu when Zhu Biao got off the car.

"Your Majesty, Guo Zi, together with officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Shilang Guo, this is not the first time we have met. Besides, I came to the Ministry of Revenue this time to study. From now on, we can avoid these false courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Guo Zi bowed his hands.

"I am here to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince, while others do their own things!"

"Yes, my lord."

The officials from the Ministry of Revenue who were originally standing neatly dispersed immediately following Guo Zi's order, acting in an orderly manner and quickly.

This scene was naturally seen by Zhu Biao.

"Mr. Guo is very skilled in serving his subordinates! I have also been to other bureaus, but the appearance of the officials is not as good as that of the Hubu!" Zhu Biao sincerely praised.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the reason why the Ministry of Households is what it is today is all due to Ouyang's consort, and I, Guo Zi, just followed the methods he formulated!" Guo Zi said with a smile.

"Hmm, it seems that my father made the right choice in letting Ouyang brother-in-law take charge of the household department. Now the Ming Dynasty household department has become the first one!!"
