Thank you for the invitation. I am in the Ming Dynasty and swear not to be an official!

Chapter 44 The future emperor’s son-in-law is amazing

He issued 100 million yuan of treasure banknotes and returned them quickly. Zhu Yuanzhang no longer worried about the value of the treasure banknotes.

Thinking about it carefully, this is equivalent to resettling tens of thousands of disaster victims without spending a penny. Moreover, he also received a tax of [-] yuan. He, Zhu Biao, and Princess Ningguo each received another income!
The best part is, those who spent money also got fine wine, and the money was spent without any complaints!

"Wonderful! Can we find another capable person like this in the world? This guy Liao Tiancheng is really a genius!"

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the happier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he liked Liao Tiancheng.

Looking at the 1 taels of silver presented by Liao Tiancheng, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to share it with Ma Dajiao.

"Come here! Carry up these 1 taels of silver and send them to the queen!"

Although Ma Dajiao has lived a life of luxury and luxury in recent years, there were too many ways to spend money in the Ming Dynasty.

The north has been at war, and internal disaster relief has to be continued, and huge amounts of wealth have to be spent to reward the heroes.

With the Ming Dynasty having been established for less than ten years, it was really difficult to bear such a large amount of expenditure.

This led to Ma Dajiao's daily life being very frugal. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't reward her much, and she was almost reluctant to spend lavishly, saving everything for Zhu Yuanzhang for a rainy day.

Today, I suddenly saw so much money being brought in. Ma Dajiao was shocked!

"Brother Chongba, what's wrong with you? You just printed 100 million yuan for Liao Tiancheng, and you're here to squander it. Do you plan to keep printing money and exchange the treasure notes for silver? Someone has already said that this won't work, treasure notes If you print too much, it will cause big problems!”

But Zhu Yuanzhang said cheerfully: "Don't worry, sister. This money was sent by that boy Liao Tiancheng."

"What's the difference? What you printed is paper, and the money you get back is real money. If things go on like this, everyone in the world will have paper in their hands. This treasure banknote will be worthless, and no one will use it again."

"No, no, he has just paid back all the 100 million coins we printed. These are the other benefits he gave us."

Ma Dajiao was dumbfounded when he heard this: "All of them have been paid back? Then what will he do to help the victims? Didn't you say that printing money is to appease the people of Fengyang?"

"Yes, and it has indeed been spent. But it's not that he made a lot of money selling wine. He also gave us the principal, profits, and benefits!"

Ma Dajiu was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth!
"Can I make so much money from selling wine? In addition to principal and interest, can I also give you benefits?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "How about saying that this guy is a genius? In addition to the principal and interest, he also paid the full amount of taxes and fees, and gave another one hundred guan to the craftsmen who made the wine! The price of this wine is equivalent to one penny. We didn’t spend any money, but we got 10 taels of tax revenue, 1 taels of benefits, and most importantly, the tens of thousands of victims were properly resettled!”

"There is such a thing!"

Ma Dajiao was fascinated by it, as if he was listening to a book from heaven or a fairy tale!
Suddenly, Ma Dajiao thought of something again, and his face became solemn.

"Brother Chongba, do you know the reason why merchants have been suppressed lightly or severely throughout the dynasties?"

"Because of what?"

"Because businessmen are not involved in production, they just sell at a price difference and make a lot of money! The more they make, the less money the people have! When the people are so poor that they can't survive, that's when the chaos begins. !”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: "Sister, you are right, but as far as this matter is concerned, you are overly worried. All the wine Tiancheng brewed this time was auctioned off by Biao'er! The people who conducted the auction were Li Shanchang and Xu Huizu! These people's families were very rich and they didn't have much to spend money on. They just kept their money, but when the court was in trouble, they refused to take it out. Help. Now today, I have made money from them and saved the people of Fengyang! Not only does this move have no harm to the Ming Dynasty, it can actually benefit the country and the people!"

Ma Dajiao was surprised again.She naturally understands this truth. The minister's money belongs to the minister. No matter how awesome the emperor is, he should not ask the minister for money, otherwise it will cause public outrage.

"Brother Chongba, those ministers have spent so much money, I am afraid that each of them has lost a lot of money. Also, buying glass last time also cost a lot! If they are dissatisfied with it afterwards..."

Ma Dajiao became worried again.

"So what? Our wine is unique in the world. In order to sell it for money, we gave it back to Liao Tiancheng with two large vats! Now we only have one large vat. They are lucky to be able to buy the wine. What's the point? Complaining and dissatisfied?"

Ma Dajiao was completely relieved. After calming down, he looked at the 1 taels of silver on the ground and smiled.

"It seems that Brother Chongba, the future emperor's son-in-law, is not only able to make money, but he is also very particular about making money. He may be of more help to the Ming Dynasty in the future!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "That's natural! Not to mention anything else, just his idea of ​​using salt and wine to balance the surrounding small countries is really amazing! We have been thinking about this these days. Salt is a necessity, but wine can cause chaos. Human nature! Through these two things, it can indeed greatly affect the surrounding small countries! Even though what Tiancheng does is just a businessman, it actually benefits the country and the people!"

Ma Dajiao had no objection to this.

White sugar and broken words, needless to say, these two are serious good things.

Although drinking wine is easily addictive, wine has existed since ancient times. Liao Tiancheng only improved the wine-making process and improved the quality of wine, which helped the court control the entire wine-making industry and significantly increased the court's income.

No matter how you look at it, Liao Tianchengdu is different from ordinary businessmen.

Generally speaking, businessmen just sell grain or other things at low prices and sell them elsewhere at high prices, or they simply hoard them and drive up prices. This is completely incomparable to Liao Tiancheng.

"It is a great blessing for Ning Guo to marry such a talented person, both for herself and for Ming Dynasty!"

When it comes to Ning Guo's marriage, Ma Dajiao is a little confused.

"Brother Chongba, Ning Guo has reached the age of marriage, but if he does get married, how should we hold the wedding banquet? Is it possible that we all have to remain anonymous at the wedding banquet to fool Tiancheng?"

This incident made Zhu Yuanzhang scratch his head for a while.

That's right, if you don't disclose your identity when you get married, then after ten or eight years, the paper will eventually be unable to cover up the fire. Once your identity is revealed, Liao Tiancheng suddenly finds out that he is the emperor's son-in-law, how can he collapse?

What if you go crazy due to stimulation?

"What a headache!"

Zhu Yuanzhang twitched.

It doesn't feel good to keep his identity secret from his son-in-law.

But if he explains clearly, he will lose another child who dares to tell the truth and can still have a good conversation with him.

This choice is so difficult!
However, after thinking for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved.

"Even if we deceive him, the relationship between Weng and son-in-law still exists. If he finds out in the future, just explain our difficulties to him. With his intelligence, it should not be difficult for him to understand our considerations!"
