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

Millions!

Just let the businessman take it out when he says so, and it’s neither borrowing nor donating!
You know, when Zhu Yuanzhang was emperor, whenever he needed to do something and was short of money, he would first send people to vaguely convey his intention to ask for money. As a result, these merchants donated tens of thousands of taels at most, only a few thousand taels at least, and there were even merchants who pretended to be deaf and dumb!

Zhu Yuanzhang was always very angry.

But these businessmen have not done anything illegal, and they cannot be dealt with directly, otherwise there will be chaos in the world!
When the emergency really came, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, could only go to those merchants to borrow money!

But even so, he never borrowed more than one million taels of silver.

The hospital had told him more than once that he needed to find a way to solve the problem of merchants having too much money, but unfortunately, no suitable solution had been found. Apart from lowering the status of merchants, increasing taxes on merchants, etc., even then, merchants would be of no use.

Now that Ouyang Lun has launched advertising endorsements, it seems that he can make businessmen willing to spend money.

However, he still had to discuss the details with Ouyang's brother-in-law in private. Zhu Biao could feel that Ouyang Lun was obviously holding back and did not reveal all the contents of the so-called "advertising endorsement". The main reason was that there was no need to reveal all of it. After all, just this little bit saved the court several million taels of silver. If it was all revealed, wouldn't it be even more? !
This kind of clever trick is worth more than tens of millions!
Zhu Biao thought again that if he followed Ouyang Lun's method, it would bring many benefits to him as the emperor. Regarding the health care product trading company, Zhu Biao had already received news from Ouyang Lun. The equity structure of the health care product trading company was as follows: his royal family held 40%, Asuna's tribe held 30%, Prince of Yan Zhu Di held 20%, and the clan fund held 10%!
This means that Zhu Biao can still get 40% profit without doing anything in the future!

Although it would cost several million to give gifts to soldiers and workers, this was considered advertising and the trading company had a budget for it. As the emperor, he did not need to pay for it, which saved him several million silver coins.

These are just some of the superficial gains. In addition to these, there is also influence.

The worker group is fine, but the key is the soldier group. Before, because Lan Yu had a very high prestige in the army, and the Huaixi Party had many generals in the army, the Huaixi Party had a huge influence on the Ming army. There was no force in the Ming court that could compete with the Huaixi Party in the army.

Giving gifts to the soldiers this time is a good opportunity to win their hearts.

Of course, the same applies to the workers on the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway construction site.

They all received year-end gifts from the Ming Emperor and the imperial court!

It can be said that Ouyang Lun's method solved several of Zhu Biao's problems. How could he not be happy?

"Brother-in-law, this endorsement advertisement is very good, I approve it now!"

"The army is the army of the Ming Dynasty. The army is to protect our Ming Dynasty. If anyone dares to make trouble, I will never let him off easily!"

Zhu Biao nodded and spoke in a threatening and warning manner.

These words were actually said to Li Shanchang, Song Lian and Lu Chang. The meaning is very clear. To sum it up in one sentence, you all better be careful. I am protecting you all. If anyone dares to mess around, although I am kind-hearted, please don't push me too far!

Li Shanchang, Lu Chang and Song Lian were naturally not stupid and they immediately understood what Zhu Biao meant.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"I don't think those with ulterior motives would dare to make trouble on this matter. After all, this involves nearly one million soldiers and workers. I really can't think of anyone who dares to have such a heavy burden and provoke the soldiers and workers!"

Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

Although Ouyang Lun was laughing, his words actually made Li Shanchang, Song Lian and Lu Chang feel cold in their hearts.

Ouyang Lun's meaning was very clear, that was to warn them.

Zhu Biao's approval and Ouyang Lun's warning made Li Shanchang, Lu Chang and Song Lian dumbfounded. All the thoughts that just came to their minds disappeared in an instant.

Do Li Shanchang and his people dare to object?
Obviously not.

Li Shanchang could only sigh deeply in his heart. The world has really changed! Now even Ouyang Lun dares to threaten him.

Although he was unwilling to accept it, the situation was stronger than the person. Li Shanchang was very clear that the current situation was not on his side. Apart from nodding obediently, he had no other choice.

"Prince Consort Ouyang is absolutely right. If anyone dares to interfere in such an important event, they will definitely not be forgiven! They must be severely punished!"

Li Shan said loudly.

It seemed as if he was the one who most supported Ouyang Lun and this advertising endorsement strategy!

Seeing Li Shanchang's attitude change 180 degrees, Zhu Biao was quite helpless. Li Shanchang was indeed a veteran who had stood in the Ming Dynasty court for more than 20 years. He had experienced so many major events but was still standing. This was one of the reasons!

This Li Shanchang is not only capable, but also has a clear view of the current situation. He is even better at keeping himself safe. He is a real veteran in the officialdom!
After this matter was settled, Ouyang Lun was too lazy to stay any longer. He had already done everything he should do. All that was left was Zhu Biao's performance, and he could happily slack off again.

After further discussion, Ouyang Lun left, using the excuse that he had to go back to sort out the "Talent Gradient Training Regulations" and "Endorsement Advertising" and other related details.

Watching Ouyang Lun leave, Zhu Biao seemed a little reluctant. After all, he still very much wanted to take Ouyang Lun with him to meet the retired Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. With Ouyang Lun by his side, he would be able to explain things better to Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, Ouyang Lun did not want to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Biao understood and did not force him.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to accompany you to see the Emperor?"

"I have something to report to the Emperor recently!"

When Li Shanchang saw that Ouyang Lun did not follow Zhu Biao to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, he immediately realized that his opportunity had come. Although this seemed a bit shameless, Li Shanchang knew very well that the Ming Dynasty was ultimately ruled by the retired emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. If he could meet Zhu Yuanzhang, he would have a chance to convince Zhu Yuanzhang. As long as he could get Zhu Yuanzhang's approval, Ouyang Lun's plan might not be accomplished!

Hearing what Li Shanchang said, Zhu Biao frowned, then shook his head, "I still have some government affairs to deal with. I have to wait until I am done before I go to see my father. If you, my dear Li, want to see my father, you can go by yourself!" "I'm not in a hurry, I can." Li Shanchang knew very well that if he was not summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang or taken by Zhu Biao, he would not be able to see Zhu Yuanzhang at all. If he really went by himself, he would most likely be turned away.

This was done by Zhu Yuanzhang in order to delegate power to Zhu Biao. The court's civil and military officials would not meet anyone except those summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Li Aiqing, don't you have anything else to do?"

"The officials on this list will soon be arranged to go to state-owned enterprises for internships. Since you recommended them, you will be the one to do some ideological work for them. If anything goes wrong, I will look for you first!"

Zhu Biao frowned.

Forehead.
Hearing what Zhu Biao said, Li Shanchang was completely dumbfounded and his face looked extremely ugly.

These twenty-odd officials were all members of his Huaixi Party. Li Shanchang had met them one after another during this period and had told them openly and secretly that he wanted to promote them. These people were also very sensible and gave Li Shanchang many of his favorite things, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings, beautiful maids, and so on!
Although the Ming Dynasty investigated corruption strictly, as long as you didn't take the money, basically there would be no problem. This is why Li Shanchang was not afraid. Moreover, Li Shanchang would not cash these things. He would just take them out to have a look and enjoy them!
As a result, the gifts were collected, but the promised promotion was not fulfilled. Not only that, but they also lost their original official positions, which meant that they were all demoted to state-owned enterprises.

This is hard to explain!
Since Li Shanchang had already accepted the things, there was naturally no reason for him to return them. After all, if this matter got out, he, Li Shanchang, would lose all his face!
It's also a huge loss of face.

We have to think of a solution. Since this matter needs to be resolved, Li Shanchang naturally has no intention of following Zhu Biao to see Zhu Yuanzhang. Of course, the main reason is that Li Shanchang also knows that Zhu Biao obviously does not want to take him with him.

"Old minister, I obey the order!"

Li Shanchang had no choice but to accept it.

Just when Li Shanchang was about to leave, Zhu Biao stopped him again and said, "Lord Li, I am very satisfied with the people you recommended."

"But Prince Consort Ouyang's suggestion is better. I sincerely hope that all the officials in my Ming Dynasty are capable and have more experience in governing the country!"

"You see, I have been the crown prince for more than 20 years. After I ascended the throne, I became more and more grateful for these 20 years of experience as the crown prince. It is precisely because of these 20 years of experience as the crown prince that I was able to adapt to government affairs so quickly!"

"I still admire Huang Zicheng very much. When you go down, you must do a good job with him and let him know that I have great expectations for him. This time, you must arrange for him to work in the most arduous and difficult position in a central enterprise to give him enough training! As long as he passes the internship period, I will definitely promote him!"

Ah!
Li Shanchang was about to leave, but then he heard Zhu Biao's words, which made him confused.

Emperor Zhu Biao is optimistic about Huang Zicheng!
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Li Shanchang and the Huaixi Party!
Huang Zicheng is a talent personally selected by him. No matter in terms of personal ability or political achievements, he is the top figure in the Huaixi Party. Only Qi Tai can compete with him. Originally, Li Shanchang was going to nominate Qi Tai this time, but Qi Tai's position is now very important. He is responsible for half of the construction of the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway, and this position must not be moved!

It was precisely because of Li Shanchang's caution that Qi Tai suffered no losses and did not have to go to a state-owned enterprise for internship.

Back to Huang Zicheng, from the fact that Zhu Biao was optimistic about Huang Zicheng, Li Shanchang could judge that Zhu Biao had not completely sided with Ouyang Lun. If he was completely biased towards Ouyang Lun, then the people promoted by him, Li Shanchang, would definitely not be favored.

So even though Zhu Biao admired, trusted and valued Ouyang Lun, as an emperor, especially a benevolent emperor, he would naturally appreciate and value other officials!
It was a right move to cultivate talents within the Huaixi Party.

Thinking of this, Li Shanchang's uncomfortable mood was somewhat comforted.

Come to think of it, although Ouyang Lun was the brother-in-law of Emperor Zhu Biao, the relationship between the Huaixi Party and Emperor Zhu Biao was also not shallow!

In fact, Zhu Biao himself was also a member of the Huaixi Party. If Zhu Biao was not the emperor, he would be the leader of the Huaixi Party. In addition, all the elders of the Huaixi Party were Zhu Biao's uncles. When the Ming Dynasty had not yet been established, Zhu Biao was the young master they supported. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao was the only successor to the Ming Dynasty they recognized!
Especially the relationship between Lan Yu and Zhu Biao—wife’s brother-in-law!
His wife's brother-in-law and brother-in-law were both relatively close relatives. It was a pity that Crown Princess Chang died early, otherwise it would never have been his turn.

And the Huaixi Party has always supported Zhu Biao.

Therefore, as long as Li Shanchang and the Huaixi Party do not rebel, Zhu Biao will not abandon them given his character, and Li Shanchang and the Huaixi Party will be able to compete with Ouyang Lun and the Prince Consort Party!
Haha, I was worrying too much.

After thinking for a while, Li Shanchang smiled helplessly in his heart. There was no way. The pressure from Ouyang Lun was too great. After experiencing many failures, Li Shanchang now considered the worst case scenario.

Thinking of what Zhu Biao had just said, and the young talents in the Huaixi Party like Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, as well as a bunch of old guys like them, Li Shanchang felt a lot more at ease.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that our Huaixi Party will always be loyal to Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty. Huang Zicheng is the proud student of this old minister. He has excellent abilities and will surely become an important minister to assist Your Majesty in the future!"

"Yes! I naturally believe what Li Aiqing said." Zhu Biao nodded and continued, "Father has told me more than once that the reason why the Ming Dynasty is what it is today is inseparable from the efforts of the Huaixi children. Father and I have seen what you have done and remember it in our hearts!"

"I have something to say to Lord Li from the bottom of my heart. What the Ming Dynasty needs now is development, not fighting to the death. There is no problem with party disputes, but they must not affect the speed of development of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Li Aiqing, do you understand?"

Zhu Biao said slowly.

"Old minister understands!"

Li Shanchang knew very well that this was Zhu Biao's reminder to him. It could even be said to be a warning!

The current emperor Zhu Biao is no longer the same as when he first became emperor, let alone when he was a crown prince. With these two years of experience, Zhu Biao is getting closer and closer to a mature emperor. In fact, Zhu Biao is already a mature emperor!
Another opportunity was missed!

Normally, the first few years after Zhu Biao ascended the throne were the time for Li Shanchang and the Huaixi Party to greatly increase their strength. But unfortunately, because of Ouyang Lun's existence, Li Shanchang and the Huaixi Party did not have any chance at all!
They can only watch Zhu Biao grow up, and now they can only obey Zhu Biao's orders.

"Well, it's good that Lord Li understands. I also hope that Lord Li can do what he says!"

"I still have some government affairs to attend to, so I will not keep you here, my dear ministers." (End of this chapter)
