Chapter 428 Zhou Chen Returns to Beijing! Wool Is a Good Thing!
Latest website:
Jinling Imperial Capital.
The new law was successfully implemented.
With Chen Qia, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, presiding over it, and assisted by Jian Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the implementation of the new law was not greatly hindered.
Zhu Gaoxu, the Han prince who oversees the country, only needs to take charge of the overall situation and get rid of some short-sighted Jin gentry.
However, a person's sudden return to Beijing caused a lot of trouble.
This person was none other than Zhou Chen, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, a financial and taxation talent whom the Han prince had always been optimistic about.
Due to the sheep shepherding plan proposed by Zhu Gaoxu, Zhou Chen was ordered to go to the Peiping border to preside over the implementation of the shepherd plan.
However, due to His Majesty the Emperor's great victory in the Northern Expedition, the Oara tribe that originally intended to spy on the Central Plains was directly beaten to annihilation. The Northern Expedition army even went so far as to kill the entire Mobei Grassland and recapture the Lingbei Province in one fell swoop!
In this case, this shepherding plan has no meaning.
After all, the imperial court regained the province of Lingbei and established the Chief Secretary in Lingbei. Naturally, it wanted to follow the example of the former Yuan Dynasty in governing Lingbei. Then it would no longer implement Lao Shizi's "shepherding plan" and destroy the ecology of the Mongolian grassland. Environment, isn't that just shooting yourself in the foot?
Therefore, the shepherding plan was urgently stopped by His Majesty the Emperor.
Zhou Chen was very embarrassed at this moment. After all, he had done a lot of work in the early stage and purchased a large amount of wool from the grassland.
Relying on the strong financial resources of the Ministry of Revenue and the full support of Xia Yuanji, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Chen experienced the pleasure of a wealthy man throwing money, and he smashed the wool into a hot commodity recognized by various tribes and ethnic groups in the grassland, and passed it one after another. Sold to Daming at a high price on the mutual market.
In this way, the first step of this shepherding plan can be considered a success.
The price of wool skyrocketed, and when the nomadic barbarians saw that raising sheep was profitable, they would naturally give up raising war horses and raise large quantities of various goats and sheep.
Zhou Chen needs to wait for time, and then proceed to the second step, and then spend money to drive up the price of goats. Then the sheep herding plan will basically be completed.
At the same time, during this waiting period, he has been buying wool. No matter whether it is a Mongolian barbarian or not, as long as you bring high-quality wool to the exchange market, you can sell it at a high price!
What Zhou Chen wants is for the prairie barbarians to realize the common sense that they can make huge profits by raising sheep, and use the profits to tempt them to raise sheep like crazy!
After several months, the shepherding plan was implemented smoothly.
After all, as long as you have enough money and can spend it hard, nothing will be a problem!
And this feeling of using money and food to calculate a country is really fascinating.
Zhou Chen never thought that one day he would be able to defeat a country with money and food economy like Guan Zhong, the wise prime minister throughout the ages!
If this great plan is really accomplished, then Zhou Chen is destined to rise to great heights, and even be famous throughout the ages!
However, just when everything was ready and only the east wind was needed, Zhou Chen was completely dumbfounded by an edict from His Majesty the Emperor.
Damn it, a lot of money has been spent, and the wool purchased has piled up. Why the hell are you telling me now that the plan is terminated and that we are not going to continue it?
Then didn’t I, Zhou Chen, become the scapegoat?
After all, this project cost the imperial court a huge amount of money, but it turned out to have no damn results, so Zhou Chen not only had no merit, but was guilty of a serious crime!
He, Zhou Chen, has been labeled as a member of the Han Dynasty. Once he cannot make up for the huge amount of money spent in the early stage, he, Zhou Chen, is afraid that he will be impeached to death by the Jin gentry and become a miserable scapegoat!
Although the shepherding plan was proposed by Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, it was His Majesty the Emperor who made the final decision to implement the shepherding plan.
However, His Majesty the Emperor will not make mistakes, and even if he makes a mistake, he will not admit it.
As for His Highness the King of Han, if you want him to take the initiative to admit his mistakes, it would be better to wipe his own neck!
Therefore, Zhou Chen panicked. Ever since the shepherding plan was urgently stopped, he had been in panic all day long, and his whole person was extremely decadent.
It wasn't until His Highness the King of Han returned to the capital that Zhou Chen hurriedly arranged his work and then rushed back to the capital without stopping.
No way, if His Highness the King of Han doesn't save him, Zhou Xunruke will definitely die.
But after all, Zhou Chen was just the head of the Household Department, and was not qualified to go to court after returning to Beijing. He could only turn to his immediate superior, Xia Yuanji, the Secretary of the Household Department, for help.
After Lao Xia Tou quietly listened to his little brother's complaints, he took him directly to find the culprit, Prince Han, who was currently handling government affairs.
After all, it was you, Zhu Gaoxu, who proposed Lao Shizi's "Sheep Sheep Plan," and Zhou Chen is also your Zhu Gaoxu's die-hard Han Wang Party member. Now that he is about to be in disaster because of you, Zhu Gaoxu, you can't help but help him, right?
However, Lao Xia Tou was very smart. He also invited Jin Zhong, the Minister of War, and Jian Yi, the Minister of Personnel.
After all, the three giants have always been on good terms and have the same governing philosophy, so they should advance and retreat together in everything.
The Muyang Plan has caused a huge deficit in the household department. If this hole cannot be filled, Xia Yuanji may also be implicated.
Although Lao Xia Tou didn't care much about this, he was very concerned about money and food.
No matter what method you, King of Han, use, this huge sum of money was wasted because of you, and you must make up for it!
After Zhu Gaoxu quietly listened to Xia Yuanji's request, he glanced at Zhou Chen, who had a decadent face, and suddenly felt dumbfounded.
He thought something big had happened that caused the three giants to come together, but it turned out that it was just because of such a trivial matter.
"Xun Ru, you are still too young and have not mastered the art of nourishing qi!"
"How big of a deal is this? Are you so decadent?"
Upon hearing this, the three giants looked at each other in confusion, but Zhou Chen's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhu Gaoxu with hope.
"Your Highness, King of Han, is there still a chance to turn things around?"
"Yes!" Zhu Gaoxu took a leisurely sip of tea and said with a smile: "Just continue to buy wool. Collect as much as you can. Sooner or later, the hole will be filled..."
Everyone: "???"
What?
Continue the acquisition?
I'll buy your uncle!
You still think this hole is not big enough?
Continue to give money to buy wool, UU reading www. uukanshu． net Not to mention Zhou Chen will definitely die, Xia Yuanji will also take the blame and resign!
And the most important thing is that using the court's money to do such a meaningless thing is simply more uncomfortable than killing Xia Yuanji!
"His Royal Highness, the sheep herding plan has been stopped by the emperor. There is no point in continuing to purchase wool. Instead, paying for the useless wool will only increase the financial burden of the imperial court. There is no money in the treasury, your highness... "
Not surprisingly, Lao Xia Tou began to cry about poverty every day.
Zhu Gaoxu felt a little headache after hearing this, and hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted: "No, who told you that the wool is useless?"
"Yes, those wools have a fishy smell, so no one in the Central Plains uses them. So as long as the smell is solved, these wools are excellent thermal insulation materials, and the clothes they make are warmer than cotton clothes!"
Four people: "!!!"
hiss……
Get rid of the smell!
That wool really has no shortcomings!
After being stunned for a moment, the four people reacted instantly and looked at Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu with ardent eyes.
If he really has a way to get rid of the smell of this wool, then this wool will not only add a lot of financial revenue to the court, but also be made into warmer clothes. By then, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will no longer be trapped by the weather when they fight in all directions!
This wool is a good thing that can serve multiple purposes!
Lao Xia Tou took a deep breath and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, King of Han, would you like to ask me how to remove the smell of odor? Can you..."
"I can give it to you, but the three of you must agree to one thing!"
Zhu Gaoxu showed a kind smile, which made the Big Three a little frightened.
"May I ask, Your Highness, what is going on?"
"Slave trade!"
Big Three:"!!!"
