Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 694 Chen Zimei's Decision
This is also the ultimate goal of Zhao Huan's constant reduction of internal funds.

The royal business can easily conflict with the business of the people of the Song Dynasty. When there is a conflict, the interests of the royal family naturally come first.

Zhao Huan is always worried that one day he will live a foolish life and become stupid, which will bring disaster to the country and the people.

Of course, according to Li Qingzhao's sentence, he can see the correctness of his decision by taking the Kingdom of Jin as a mirror.

How difficult is it for the Kingdom of Jin to change from a family to a country?

Both Yu Wenxuzhong and Han Fang are first-class talents, but what can we do?Still being blocked by vested interest groups like Xungui.

And the big Song Neijin raised by himself will also become what he hates.

History is always spiraling up, which is a word to be considered, but one thing is definitely going up.

That is the family country becomes the country.

This change in sequence represents a change in fundamental interests.

"I have communicated with the Chen family, and the person who reported back said that the Chen family was hesitant and vague, and for some reason there was a conflict with the internal money business." Zhao Ying replied.

Zhao Huan felt that it was necessary to call Chen Zimei over and ask him to explain in person why there was a conflict with the internal money business.

Although the internal money is called a private treasury, Zhao Huan has always defined the internal money as the alternate national money of the Song Dynasty, which is actually the case.

There is money in the national treasury but there is no money, and the domestic treasury is subsidizing various state affairs.

He couldn't resist the repeated advice of the ministers, so that the internal funds began to expand, but he also consciously blurred the concept of national funds and internal funds.

This is also the reason why Zhao Huan has been preventing Zhao Ying from going to the state treasury to collect debts.

"Chen Zimei is waiting outside the hall." Seeing the gloomy expression on the official's face, Zhao Ying said hastily.

Of course, he would not bring this up in vain, and then let Chen Zimei come from Huainan.

Letting the officials' troubles stay overnight is a dereliction of duty that he, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, knows.

Zhao Ying looked at the puzzled look of the officials, and hurriedly said: "After the people sent by the minister to inquire, Chen Zimei started to go to Shanhaiguan, and only arrived in Shenzhou this morning. The road was exhausted and there was no rest."

"I see. I thought he had wings. If you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there." Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Let him in."

Chen Zimei came to Shenzhou Xingyuan tremblingly, this place is just a temporary Xingyuan, so naturally it is not very grand.

But Chen Zimei did not dare to despise the emperor on the throne because of her shabby status.That was the most wise emperor of the Great Song Dynasty since Song Taizu.

"Sinner Chen Zimei, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Chen Zimei was not at all as relaxed and freehand as she was when she met the emperor in Jinkou last time. Instead, she gave a full salute cautiously.

Zhao Huan signaled Zhao Ying to sit down with Chen Zimei, and said with a smile: "I have heard Zhao Ying talk about the Koryo matter. Since ancient times, in this case, the public is right and the woman is right. I want to hear your opinion on this matter." The story of the matter."

"Since I ascended the throne, Aiqing has always supported our country's government. Why is it so this time?"

If ordinary merchants competed with internal money for profit, Zhao Ying would handle the matter by herself without asking Zhao Huan for instructions.

It's just that Chen Zimei, after all, has registered in the hearts of the officials, so she naturally wants to consult the officials' wishes.

When Chen Zimei heard about it, she also said helplessly: "Caomin also has unavoidable difficulties."

"Some time ago, the government encouraged business in Jinkou, and the grassroots family had a little money, so I always felt that it was right to follow the government."

"I also built a ship at the Tangkou of Liangzhe Road, but it turned out that it was too expensive to build a big ship, and the family resources of the grassroots were not enough to support it. In order to make profits, the shopkeepers from all over the place resorted to more drastic methods."

Zhao Huan had heard a little about Chen Zimei running a shipyard in Tangkou.

Zhao Huan's ship in Jinkou was easy to build, mainly because the craftsmen of the military supervisory department did not disperse, and the Shipping Department of Jinkou City also had a foundation there.

If the Chen family can survive, Zhao Huan's emperor will fall ill, and the emperor's ears are not a good word for wealth.

Chen Zimei said: "The Caomin's face-to-face this time is because the shipyard in Tangkou City has finally been built. The Caomin really don't want to worry about it, so they thought about handing over the dock to the officials."

Leave it to me? !

Zhao Huan took over Chen Zimei's contract. Tangkou's dock is smaller than Jinkou's, but it still has five workshops, which can build five ships with three thousand materials at the same time.

This dock emptied all the savings of their Chen family.

"When Cao Min's son came to Beijing to be an official, I thought about it. After all, being a businessman is a cheap job, and Chen Chong also strives for success. Now he is an official under the official's hand, and the wind is smooth. The Cao Min has lost all his wealth. Save Chen Chong's future." Chen Zimei looked at the puzzled look of the officials and explained.

He planned to spend all his family wealth to support his son as an official, and his initial plan was to bribe the important ministers in the court to take care of him.

Then, through his younger brother Chen Fu, because he has made great achievements in agriculture, he has gone through the path of the official family, so it is most suitable to bribe the official family.

However, it takes time to donate family wealth. The officials are not short of money, and the officials who spread money everywhere don't look down on the savings of their Chen family's generations.

Zhao Huan finally understood the logic.

Chen Zimei is still the same Chen Zimei, and the Chen family is still the Chen family of volunteer merchants.

Just in order not to delay Chen Chong's future, the Chen family planned to donate all their wealth.

"Is it necessary?" Zhao Huan felt that the paper in his hand was a bit heavy. For the sake of his son's future, why bother?
Chen Zimei's face was full of relief. He was unsuccessful in his early years as an official, and returned home to inherit the family business in a few years. He thought that his son who was not enlightened would also be unhappy in the officialdom, and returned home in despair to inherit the family business.

The results of it?Chen Chong's luck is much better than his own.

The ministers of the DPRK and China favored it, and taught it face-to-face for several months, and some officials watched from the DPRK, and passed the ignorance process smoothly.

In the future, the Chen family can't interfere, simply dissipate the family wealth and finally leave a good reputation in the hearts of the officials.

"It's better to have less reality than to have too little, and it's better to plant widely than to harvest narrowly. This is a saying that my younger brother often talks about. The grassroots have been doing the same for decades." Chen Zimei said with a smile.

If the child is an official and the father is a businessman, there is a problem. If the father is an official, there is no problem for the son to be a businessman. This strange logic of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty reflects the values ​​​​of the Song Dynasty.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the last, and they are cheap industries.

"You keep this dock, and you just see the money back, are you willing?" Zhao Huan rejected Chen Zimei's proposal, and sent Chen Zimei's letter back. He had his own plan.

Eggs cannot be put in one basket.

All dock affairs depend on the Shipping Department of Jinkou City, and there will definitely be problems.

Similarly, he also needs Chen Zimei as an example. Only when he earns money can others follow suit and invest in Haimao.

This is the same as grazing. If the leader is eaten, who will run with the flock?
