First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 609

Li Qi was very helpless, "I don't know about this either! But I think my father can figure it out with his skills!"

Zhang Chengtian shook his head again and again, "I said, Li Qi, how old is your father? Can't you be more confident? We can't make the old man work too hard. Let me ask you, can you come up with a good solution?"

Li Qi was questioned by Zhang Chengtian, if he was useful, it would not be useless!

Zhang Chengtian became angry, "Trash! You are like this, you still want to take over Korea? Go ahead and dream! You have to show some skills and let people know that you are useful, you know?"

Li Qi said bitterly: "I, I really can't think of it... Gao Li, Lu Song, I don't have any ideas... Don't force me!"

If Zhang Cheng's weather is bad, he won't be able to see good-for-nothings. Look at me, although his grades are not good, but with a little effort, he immediately becomes the number one in the school. This is his skill!

"You have no idea, can you be obedient?"

"Who do you listen to?" Li Qi asked stupidly.

"Of course you listen to me!" Zhang Chengtian said very bluntly: "You get the labor from Goryeo, give it to the Oirats, and get it to Luzon. You plow the fields."

Li Qi was confused... Let the Koreans grow sugar cane, let the natives farm the land... Isn't this superfluous?

"Second young master, don't move at all, let the Koreans farm the fields, and the natives grow sugarcane!"

"Idiot! If you don't torment them, who will pay us? You can sell something and sue, trash!" Zhang Chengtian criticized very bluntly. Although he didn't learn much economics, he also understood that if he didn't torment, there would be no economics. Profit to speak of.

If you want to make a fortune, you have to get this group of people out of your hometown, manage them properly, and squeeze them hard, so that you can create profits.

"Let's put it this way, if we can get 10 natives, we can get [-] more people from Korea... This time and again, it's our profit... Let's do this, I'll pay [-]%, and the rest Everything is yours."

Zhang Chengtian looked up to the sky and sighed, "I can't help it, my young master is kind-hearted, I don't see your hard work in vain, so let's make it so!"

Chapter 843 Horse and Three Treasures

Li Qi had no choice but to fall into Zhang Chengtian's hands, so he could only make an alliance with this kid.

20 manpower is what Zhu Yuanzhang wants, and no matter what, it must be supplied, even if one person is missing.

In addition to the 20 people, how much extra labor was sent, how many natives were captured, and sent back to Korea, this is not something they can determine.

But there is one thing, that is, Li Qi must go all out and must not play tricks.

The more people the better, the money will naturally be given as much, if you dare to lose a penny, we will never end!

To tell the truth, Li Qi really wanted to cry, but he was too shameful for a dignified son-in-law. He was bullied like this, and was thrown into the prison, suffering from kidney deficiency.

Then he was blackmailed and blackmailed, and the big boss was also handed over to Zhang Chengtian.

A soldier can be killed and cannot be humiliated. At this point, he is almost ready to die.

I don't believe that His Majesty would favor Zhang Chengtian so much?

If you let His Majesty know that he has taken [-]%, I think His Majesty will be angry, and there may be a solution by then.

Li Qi was full of thoughts of revenge, but to be honest, there were so few opportunities, he couldn't even see Zhu Yuanzhang... Coincidentally, three days later, Zhu Yuanzhang was busy clearing the ground in the manor outside the city.

Because recently, a batch of overseas fine varieties and special crops were sent to Daming.

Lao Zhu plans to choose the best time to try planting next spring.He is now preparing the land in advance to maintain soil moisture.

Li Qi took the initiative to run over as his son-in-law, and followed Lao Zhu to work.

In the face of the labor delivered to the door, Zhu Yuanzhang was not polite, and asked him to prepare the ground and pick manure. After a busy day, Li Qi's palms were covered with blood blisters, which were worn out. The pain was unbearable, and he almost passed out. past.

He is a pampered young master, where did he suffer from this crime?

It is almost second only to the treatment of being locked in a prison and blowing cold wind a few days ago.

If it wasn't for revenge, he wouldn't have suffered so much.

God is so pitiful, after a day of hard work, Li Qi finally got a little bit of approval from Lao Zhu.

After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, those who can work honestly and farm seriously will not be too bad.

"Okay, it's not easy for you. Go back to Korea, take care of your father for us, and let him not think about it. In a few years, when he is [-] years old, we will have a big reward. Old friends for many years, Old brother, old in-laws, it's not easy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang used three "old" characters in a row, which can be regarded as highlighting Li Shanchang's status.

Li Qi was overjoyed, and couldn't help feeling a little bit of ambition. After all, the person in front of him was his father-in-law, his beloved relatives and friends, and an elder he could rely on, and he would never turn against him.

So Li Qi plucked up his courage, "Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to serve the great Ming Dynasty, and I dare not say hard work... It's just that I can't look down on some people. Taking away most of the benefits makes people look like they are gnashing their teeth, and they can't wait to get rid of it!"

Lao Zhu remained calm and asked back: "Who are you talking about? If someone is really dishonest, we will not be polite!"

Li Qi pondered for a while, and finally mustered up his courage.

"Your Majesty, minister, what I want to talk about is Zhang Chengtian!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and asked, "What happened to him? How did he fail us?"

Li Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, he asked his ministers to sell Luzon natives, and he had to work harder, and then give him [-]% of the income!"

"Seventy percent?" Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a while, "You are right? Is it seventy percent?"

Li Qi nodded hurriedly, "Indeed, he opened his mouth like a lion, and asked for [-]%!"

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, looking a little surprised, and then said: "So he will leave you [-]%?"

Li Qi was taken aback, and it was indeed [-]%, but the problem was not that simple.

"Your Majesty, I still want to arrest people from Korea, and I have to arrange natives from Luzon. All the hard work is my responsibility. Zhang Chengtian takes money for nothing!"

Lao Zhu nodded, "I know, you have worked really hard, so I can't give you nothing... How about this, out of the [-]%, you keep [-]%, and the remaining [-]% ​​is given to Princess Lin'an, which is her private money!"

Li Qi didn't seem to understand, my ears are broken?

Obviously I impeached Zhang Chengtian, saying that he took [-]% of the money.

Why does Your Majesty take my money to Princess Lin'an regardless of his asking for money? Is Your Majesty out of his mind?

Li Qi was completely dumbfounded and froze here.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face became serious, and he suddenly growled, "Are you deaf? Or is your brain broken? We asked you to give [-]% of the share and [-]% to Princess Lin'an, and let her keep it! Do you understand?"

Li Qi was shocked, and finally understood.

The whole person is not well.

Thirty-seven split the bill, although the big boss was taken away, he still has some hard-earned money to earn, so it's not too bad.

But if the two deals are given to Princess Lin'an again, he can almost be sure that the more he sells, the more he will lose. In a few years, he won't even wear pants.

Li Qi really couldn't figure it out, what kind of medicine did Zhu Yuanzhang take wrongly?

Is it because Zhang Chengtian is the grand master's son that everything he does is right?

There is no such reason!

Seeing that Li Qi was still hesitating, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help shouting angrily, "Fool, get out!"

Not even having a chance to argue, Li Qi scrambled to get out of the manor.

Puzzled, what went wrong?

Li Qi couldn't figure it out. In Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, there was a [-]% agreement... In fact, the agreement was all fake. Could it be that without the agreement, would he dare to rely on Zhu Yuanzhang's account?

Obviously, that's not the case.

To give Lao Zhu this contract is to tell Lao Zhu that there is such a thing, and the money will go into your pocket.

Yes, Zhang Chengtian turned around and gave Zhu Yuanzhang all the money he had knocked from Li Qi, and he didn't want any of it.

The money fell into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Li Qi came to impeach Zhang Chengtian again. Is there any other possibility besides bad luck?

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them are useful, Lao Zhu would have wanted to kill Li Qi.

How can there be such a stupid person in this world!

And I'm afraid of comparison in everything. If you compare Li Qi with Zhang Chengtian, the gap will be even bigger.

Although Zhang Chengtian is also playful and noisy, but his children are so obedient!

It made Lao Zhu feel a little distressed, and when he got the money, he must share it with Zhang Chengtian, otherwise the child would be too wronged.

Old Zhu didn't know, but Zhang Chengtian, who he felt wronged and poor, was overjoyed and overjoyed at the moment.

Dare to intervene in the labor trade, and want to get a share of it... I am afraid that the status of the father is fine, but he is absolutely not.

Although this sum of money is large, it is a pity that it does not belong to Zhang Chengtian.

If you take it reluctantly, you will also have trouble.

So Zhang Chengtian handed everything over to Lao Zhu, no matter how it was arranged, it was His Majesty who had the final say.

Then Zhang Chengtian doesn't want to get rich, so he doesn't want to make any money?

how come!

Zhang Chengtian may have his own little plan... In fact, selling a lawsuit is a good business.

The investment is extremely low and the profit is huge, which is especially suitable for his status.

But there is a premise, that is, you can't sell it like Li Qi!

He is completely a one-shot deal, and after selling it, everyone is happy, and then nothing else matters.

Surely not!

Zhang Chengtian felt that if he wanted to be sustainable, he had to make proper arrangements.

For example, if you buy a certain official position, you must be treated accordingly, and you must be able to obtain the resources that belong to this position... So Zhang Chengtian decided to change the method.

He quickly contacted Liuqiu and Xiaoliuqiu, found the Hua family and Fang family, and then contacted those who divided up the Wa kingdom.

It doesn't matter which country's official position you want, and how high a position you want.

And once you spend the money, you can receive a residence newspaper from this country every year.And once you become an official of a certain country, you can recommend a few people every year to go to the corresponding country.

If these people decide to settle and emigrate, they can also get a preferential loan and get a piece of free land.

Anyway, it is to make this official position look not so nonsense.

Moreover, after buying an official position, recommending people to go there, the contact can be strengthened, and help to immigrate overseas... All in all, it must benefit the country and the people and stand firm.

When the people from those families heard Zhang Chengtian's plan, they all nodded.

Anyway, as long as you, Second Young Master Zhang, are willing to take the lead, of course we will follow, and there will be no problem at all.

In this way, Zhang Chengtian successfully sold the first batch of overseas official status.

Among them are five ministers, seven chief envoys, 23 magistrates, more than 50 magistrates, ten people from thousands of households, and more than 70 people from one hundred households...

Good guy, buying and giving away really made him an industry.

Counting the income, Zhang Chengtian made a net profit of more than 500 guan.

Although it wasn't too much, Zhang Chengtian was very satisfied.

This is what he can get in his hands smoothly, otherwise no matter how many there are, someone will stare at them, but he will not be able to eat them smoothly.

He looked down at his little stomach, how big it was, and how rich he was.

We can't let our heads get hot for a while and sink ourselves into it.

Zhang Chengtian's calculations were very accurate, he fiddled with suing himself, and made a little money, neither his father Zhang Ximeng nor his teacher Zhu Yuanzhang would care.

What these two people really care about is the labor of Goryeo... Today's Ming Dynasty already has the ability to immigrate on a large scale.

Hundreds of large ships headed for Korea.

After docking, they immediately carried labor to Luzon for delivery.

On the other side of Luzon, the Ming army quickly occupied land, felled trees, and established a large-scale sugarcane plantation.

The actions of the soldiers can be said to be unscrupulous, so there is no need to worry.

In Daming, even in Lingnan, nothing can be done.

If you want to occupy land, you must first greet the local people, understand them with reason, and move them with emotion.To let them see solid benefits, people will switch to sugar cane.

But in Luzon, the situation is completely different, unwilling to give up the land?Don't want to grow sugar cane?

Well, go to Goryeo to farm!

In the same way, the Korean laborers came to Luzon, and they were unfamiliar with the place. Looking around, they knew nothing... There was no other choice but to work honestly.

So in Luzon, what we see is the ultimate efficiency. The land is leveled out, and the labor goes in, working day and night, wearing the stars and wearing the moon, without wasting any time.

Soon the first batch of sucrose will be sent to Daming... But before that, another batch of rare items will be sent to Daming, including a bag of round, unremarkable things.
