Ming Dynasty: The poisonous imperial teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang advised me to be kind

Chapter 50: Chu Nan's plan, how to make money? Sell the worthless things in Ming Dynasty to foreign fools.
Chu Nan did not agree to Hu Weiyong's request, but continued to exchange a few words of pleasantries, and then found an excuse to leave.

If you want to survive in the imperial court in the capital, you either have to join Hu Weiyong's Huaixi Party or Yang Xian's Zhejiang East Party. If you don't join either, you will offend both sides.

But Chu Nan didn't want to join either of them. The reason was simple: he knew the history.

These two people will die, so why should I get close to them? Are I rushing to die?

"Lord Chu, if you have time, please come to my humble home for a chat." Hu Weiyong did not expect Chu Nan to refuse him, but he still spoke politely.

However, he believed that Chu Nan would stand on his side, because he would definitely be the number one person in the capital after Zhu Yuanzhang!

"hateful!"

But Lan Yu, who was not far away, stared at Chu Nan's back, her eyes full of jealousy.

Why!
What did Chu Nan do to be promoted to the second rank, Marquis?
I, Lan Yu, have risked my life and shed blood and sweat for you, Zhu Yuanzhang, but I am still only a fifth-rank official. Zhu Yuanzhang, you have gone too far!

The seeds of hatred, anger, and jealousy were all planted in Lan Yu's heart at this moment.

Chu Nan didn't stay for long and got into the sedan chair and went home. He was now very powerful and always had twenty guards with him when he went out.

The young girls and wives on the roadside would stay away when they saw his sedan chair coming, for fear that they would be dragged into the sedan chair by Chu Nan and beaten.

But Chu Nan had no choice. After all, so many people were killed because of his strategy, and he himself had no fighting power, so he had to stay alive.

Moreover, he felt that he was not cowardly enough, as Hu Weiyong and Yang Xian were both fighting for him.

Damn it, keep spending money tomorrow, spend more money!
Soon, Chu Nan returned to the mansion.

"Sir." The butler came out to greet him immediately, but his face did not look good and he seemed very nervous.

"What's wrong with you?" Chu Nan frowned, wondering why he looked like this.

"Sir..." But when the butler was asked this question, his face became more nervous.

"Your Majesty is here."

"What!" Chu Nan was shocked, then he immediately walked in, walked into the inner courtyard, and his pupils suddenly shook.

Good guy!
Zhu Yuanzhang was seen sitting on the upper seat, with the princes and Liu Bowen below him. Guards were standing beside and behind him in the yard.

Chu Nan was stunned. "Brother, you are the emperor. Don't you have anything to do every day? Why are you here again?"

"Gulp, gulp, pah!" At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang drank the tea served by Chu Nan's servant, but soon spit it out with a look of shock on his face.

“This is really awful to drink.”

"Chun Nan, I gave you so much money, but you don't have Longjing, Tieguanyin, or Biluochun?"

Chu Nan frowned when he heard this: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I only like to drink honey snow."

"Mi Xue?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. What is this? I've never heard of it before? Can I drink it?

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not continue to talk too much, but spoke.

"Chun Nan, I'm sure you've guessed why I came here. I just want to ask you how to make the Ming Dynasty's economy develop rapidly."

Then he frowned: "But what strategy did you, Chu Nan, propose in the court today?"

"What about mining copper to make money? Although I haven't read any books, I know that if I do this, the value of money will depreciate drastically and it will become worthless. Do you think I don't know that?"

"Who are you trying to fool with this plan? Are you trying to fool the children?"

But Chu Nan was speechless when he heard this. There were many emperors in history who did the same thing, such as your descendant Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty.

But he naturally wouldn't say these words, and then he opened his mouth. "Your Majesty, but I have no other choice, right? You asked me like that in the court, so if I tell the truth, won't I die?"

"Okay, okay." Zhu Yuanzhang did not pursue whether Chu Nan was deceiving the emperor or not, and asked directly.

"So now you can tell me how the Ming Dynasty's economy should develop, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned at this moment: "The current economy of the Ming Dynasty is not strong, many things cannot be developed, and many policies are empty talk."

"Moreover, the time we bought by delaying the Northern Yuan Dynasty with tricks is useless. We haven't developed much ourselves and still don't have an advantage over the Northern Yuan Dynasty, so our economy must be developed."

"Your Majesty is right." Chu Nan nodded. It was indeed true.

After all, both the jungler and Aquaman know that only with money can they do whatever they want.

Thinking of this, Chu Nan didn't say anything more and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have said before that the economy is very important, and to develop a country's economy, it is absolutely not enough to rely solely on agriculture."

"We must do business like the Song Dynasty did."

"That makes sense." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Chu Nan said that the economy of the Song Dynasty at its peak accounted for 70 to 80 percent of the world's total. If the Ming Dynasty could become that rich, there would be absolutely no problem in implementing various policies.

The Song Dynasty was so rich because of its developed commerce, so the Ming Dynasty also needed to develop commerce.

"Then how should we develop business?" Zhu Biao became anxious when he knew that developing business would make the Ming Dynasty prosperous and strong.

"Lord Chu told me the method, and I will promote the isolated horse to the whole country."

"Yes, tell me quickly." Zhu Yuanzhang was also anxious.

If business could be developed throughout the country, the Ming Dynasty would be prosperous.

"Nationwide?" But Chu Nan shook his head when he heard it.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, if the Ming Dynasty wants to be truly prosperous and strong, it cannot just do domestic business."

"As the saying goes, increase revenue and reduce expenditure. If you want to be rich and strong, reducing expenditure and saving money are necessary, but increasing revenue is even more important. When doing business domestically, domestic resources are still circulating. How much can be increased?"

"How much money can we make from the poor people in our country? If we want to make money, we still have to focus on the fat sheep abroad!"

"Abroad? Yes!" Everyone present was shocked when they heard Chu Nan's words. Chu Nan's words made sense, why didn't they think of it?

Why was the Song Dynasty so prosperous? Why was the Tang Dynasty so prosperous? One of the reasons is that they did a good job in foreign trade.

Even the Han Dynasty conducted foreign trade through the Silk Road.

But now, how can they limit their attention to the domestic situation?

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded, thinking that his vision was still a little narrow, and then asked: "Chun Nan, then tell me, how should my Ming Dynasty make money outside of the Ming Dynasty."

"Simple." Chu Nan answered calmly after hearing it.

"If you want to get money from foreigners, there are two ways. One is to rob and plunder, but this method is too cruel and not suitable for the kind Ming Empire."

"The second is to ship the cheapest goods in the country to foreign countries and then exchange them for expensive goods in the country or money back."

"Some things are worthless in the Ming Dynasty, but when they are sold abroad, they are very popular, and many fools buy them!"
