"Punish profiteers?"

Zhu Di heard these words, and he liked Zhu Zhanyan a little more.

Zhu Di, like his father Zhu Yuanzhang, has hated businessmen since he was a child, because businessmen pursue profits, regardless of the country, they don't care about righteousness, they just make money.

However, Zhu Di was different from Zhu Yuanzhang, although he did not like merchants, he did not inhibit the development of commerce, and even let Zheng He go to the West to open up overseas trade! Zhu Yuanzhang

himself also arranged for the Textile Bureau, which created countless jobs, so that the silk of the Ming Dynasty was exported overseas and added revenue to the imperial court.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty under Zhu Di's control was still quite rich.

If it weren't for the fact that it had cost a lot to repair the Yongle Grand Ceremony and attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty over the years, the current imperial court would not even be able to take out the silver for disaster relief.

"It's very easy to punish the merchants, and I only need a holy decree to arrest all these merchants who sit on the ground and raise prices.

"But that's not how things are done, although businessmen are profit-seeking, but it is still helpful to promote economic development, if this kind of punishment of businessmen will be less, goods will be blocked, and the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty will be insufficient."

"Another point, if this disaster inhibits the merchants, but the next time the disaster is affected again, the merchants will not appear, they do not sell grain, and the imperial court will have money but will not be able to buy grain for disaster relief, what should we do?"

Zhu Di said something in order, and even Zhu Zhan Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised, as a person hundreds of years ago, he could understand so many truths about the economy, and Zhu Di, the ancestor of Chengzu, deserved to be a great talent!

Zhu Zhan said " Grandpa, I didn't say that you should directly order those profiteers to be arrested, my grandson has a plan to make those profiteers suffer a big loss and sell grain at the original price. "

Sell grain at the original price

?" "That's right

!" When Zhu Di heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "If you can do this, why not let your father go back to the domain?"

"Grandpa Xie is complete!" Zhu Zhanyan was overjoyed, with this sentence, the big stone in his heart finally fell.

Because according to the historical process, his father Zhu Gaoxu would die repeatedly, and finally died in the hands of Zhu Zhanji.

Instead of this, it is better to return to the fiefdom as soon as possible and be a free prince.

After Zhu Zhanji collapsed, his father wanted to be the emperor, so he didn't care about him at that time, just let him go.

Zhu Zhanji collapsed, and then the next emperor, Zhu Qizhen was a proper pure waste, the royal driver was captured by Wara, and he became an emperor who studied abroad with honor.

His descendants, those emperors are also quite strange, some are immortal cultivators, some are carpenters, some are sisters and brothers, some have been on strike for thirty years, and finally one hanged.

After Zhu Zhanji's death, Zhu Qizhen was only a few years old, and the powerful figures in the court were gone.

If at that time, his father Zhu Gaoxu still had the idea of becoming an emperor, and taking the throne of Zhu Qizhen would be like a search for things, and there would be no resistance at all.

And he can continue to enjoy life as a free prince, which is simply beautiful.

"Tell me about your clever plan for grandpa. At this time, Zhu Di became very interested.

Zhu Gaochi on the side couldn't interject at all, he didn't move, and he was roasting sweet potatoes and corn in the brazier ......

Zhu Gaochi really loves sweets.....

However, at this time, Zhu Di's attention was completely on Zhu Zhanyan, and he didn't notice what his son Zhu Gaochi was doing.

Zhu Zhanyan glanced at it secretly, and said in his heart that it is no wonder that the emperors after Zhu Di in the Ming Dynasty are all wonderful, this is a problem with the leader.

Although this Zhu Gaochi is a good emperor, he is also a strange person, he is fat to death.

His son Zhu Zhanji is also a wonder, known as the son of cricket, after becoming the emperor, he played crickets every day and played to new heights.

"Grandpa, can I not say it? If this strategy is passed on, it will be completely ineffective....." Zhu Zhanyan arched his hand.

"No, if you don't say it, how can I let you do it with confidence?" Zhu

Di waved his hand, and immediately came in with an armored guard leader, and he ordered: "Retreat all the idle people around, a hundred meters away, no entry!

The leader of the guards immediately bowed down and expelled all the eunuchs and palace maids out of the hundred meters.

Zhu Di looked around again to see if there was anyone, but when he saw Zhu Gaochi quietly roasting those sweet potatoes and corn.

He shouted in distress: "Zhu Gaochi, what the hell are you doing? Those are all my seeds, you actually roasted them!" Zhu

Gaochi was so frightened that he began to stutter again, "Dad, Dad, I, I, I, my son...."

Zhu Gaochi still helped his father to intercede after all, Zhu Zhanchi immediately helped him out of the siege, and said: "Grandpa, let the uncle eat it, although the sweet potatoes and corn grandchildren don't grow much, but there are still some at home."

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Di gave up and snorted and ignored Zhu Gaochi.

He thought in his heart that he had known that Zhu Gaoxu, a kid, could give birth to such a smart grandson for him, so it was better to let Zhu Gaoxu be the prince, so as not to have so many troublesome things.

Zhu Gaochi saw that his father had given up, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and cast a grateful look at Zhu Zhanyan, and then began to roast sweet potatoes and corn, roasted fragrantly, roasted sweet...

Zhu Zhanyan also smiled: "Uncle, this corn and sweet potatoes are coarse grains, and eating them often is good for the body, especially if you are obese, eating corn can lower blood pressure and is good for the body."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi laughed heartily: "It's good for my health, then I want to eat more."

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Don't pay attention to your uncle, there are no outsiders here now, tell grandpa, what is your clever plan?"

Zhu Zhanyan nodded, organized a language in his heart, and said:

"Grandpa, it's actually very simple, it's to use these three steps, which are to create illusions, cause panic, and draw salaries!"

"The so-called illusion is that we first need to create an illusion, don't the businessmen

sell grain at five times the price? This is still because of the restrictions of the local government, so we simply let go of these restrictions and raise the price of grain, so that even if the grain is life-saving, even if it grows to ten times or twenty times, it is not surprising!" Hearing this, Zhu Di's face changed, and he questioned: "Isn't this nonsense? The people can't afford to buy grain at five times the price, and you still let the profiteers sell it ten times or twenty times, this is not aiding the abuse!" "

Don't worry, grandpa, this is just the first step.

Zhu Zhanyan smiled and waved his hand: "What kind of situation will happen if we do this?" Zhu

Di pondered for a moment and said: "If there is really such a high price of grain and twenty times the profit, then the grain chambers of commerce in the surrounding provinces will rush to transport grain."

Speaking of this, he thought of it again, frowned, and said: "It should be more than that, with such a high profit, I am afraid that even the surrounding farmers will have to transport their own grain over and make a big profit."

Zhu Zhanyan clapped his hands and said: "That's right, Grandpa Shengming, that's it, at that time, the disaster-stricken Henan Province was full of grain

!" "Next, we can move on to the next step

!" "Create panic!"

When the words fell, Zhu Di's eyes widened.

Even Zhu Gaochi, who was gnawing corn on the side, couldn't help but stop breathing!
