After confirming that Zhu Cihuan had successfully escaped to the New World, Zhu Cixiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. This kid was finally on the right track!

If he runs back to Tianfu City to cry out to Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Cixiang will really have a headache! What if the father and son cry and beg Emperor Zhu to help him tell the truth?

A deficit of more than one million yuan is not a big problem for Zhu Cihong. But he can never take care of it for Zhu Cihuan because once this precedent is set, how will the clan start a business in the future? How will it be run? The profit is his own.

Why did you ask the emperor to tell you the truth? There is no such thing!

I only took it once, why don’t I do it next time?

Haha, there will be a next time, and if it doesn’t happen next time, I can keep talking!

Moreover, a dip will create a strong "expectation of a dip" in the market, which will greatly enhance the creditworthiness of the clan members, so the hole will inevitably be bigger next time!

If Zhu Cihong bailed out Zhu Cihuan once, then in order to avoid a larger bailout incident next time, he would have to strictly restrict the clan's business. Restricting the clan is a politically correct thing to do, so it is easy to form a routine.

Because members of the clan have many advantages over ordinary people from birth, success is easy to come by. If there are no restrictions on them, it will block the promotion path of poor families to a considerable extent.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's policy of raising clans like pigs was actually in line with the people's will and was in line with the tradition of restricting the powerful established since the Song Dynasty.

Just imagine, if the Ming Dynasty did not restrict clan clans, how many big bureaucrats, big capitalists, and big military leaders would there be among the more than 100,000 Phoenix descendants who were listed in the Jade Certificate before the Jiashen Disaster?

Presumably no one really thinks that these powerful people who control the country's military, political and economic power will have less social wealth and resources than a group of captive clans, right?

Just look at the "Liu everywhere" in the Han Dynasty. The existence of "Liu everywhere" not only occupied a large amount of social resources, but also formed a great obstacle to the dynasty change at that time!

Even the Qing Dynasty, which historically had restrictions on bannermen's business and property ownership, was able to form a royal cabinet at the end of the year!

In contrast, before the Jiashen disaster, Emperor Chongzhen had neither "Zhu Zhu" to count on nor a royal cabinet to rely on, but hundreds of thousands of dragon sons and grandsons who were raised as "pig" were killed.

What a great thing it is to be very happy and bear the historical responsibility of corrupting the world!

If we change to red eyebrows and yellow scarves, can we kill all Liu Bang's sons and grandsons?

Even enemies of the caliber of Li Zicheng and Dorgon couldn't kill people like Liu Xiu and Liu Bei no matter how hard they tried!

If Zhu Cixiang was just an ordinary scholar, he certainly wouldn't want those nobles from heaven who were born with a silver spoon to compete with him for a very limited path of advancement.

But Zhu Cixiang is the emperor and the head of the clan of these dragon sons and grandsons. Of course, he hopes that these dragon sons and grandsons can thrive in all fields!

Of course, various fields include industry and commerce. After all, the era of capitalism has arrived.

But capitalism is ultimately a "loss". Even if you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth, the probability of success is a little higher than others, but failure is still a high probability event! Even the Supreme Emperor Zhu Youjian's

It was the first business activity in my life, and I couldn't escape the high probability of losing money. I lost all my money!

When Zhu Cixiang came to Renshou Palace to report Zhu Cihuan's escape, he was sighing there. When he saw "the most filial son in the world" coming, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Has the traitor been captured?"

"The traitor?" Zhu Cixiang looked at Chongzhen in surprise, "Who do you think is the traitor?"

Chongzhen waved his hand, "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about that rebellious and unfilial thing Ci Huan!"

What? Is Zhu Cihuan being disobedient and unfilial? Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "Father, what are you talking about? My fifth brother is a filial son!"

Emperor Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said: "He lost all my pension money, is he still a filial son?"

"Father, calm down, he already knows he was wrong."

"You know you are wrong?" Chongzhen looked at his son, "Then my money?"

Zhu Cixi smiled and said: "He has gone to the American Mansion to make money. When he makes money, he will return it to you."

"Go, go to America to make money." Chongzhen jumped up suddenly, raising his hand and pointing outside, "He, he, he ran away?"

Zhu Cixiang shook his head, "Father, my fifth brother can't be considered a runaway, right?"

"Doesn't that count as running away?" Chongzhen was trembling with anger. "You didn't repay the debt, you cheated me of my money, and you ran away. I, I don't have such a son! I want to expel him from the clan! "

Zhu Cixiang waved his hands quickly: "No, no, my father is going to revoke his clan status, and those 250,000 taels will never come back!"

Chongzhen was stunned and looked at Zhu Cixiang: "You, you mean I can still get my 250,000 taels back?"

"My son didn't say that," Zhu Cixiang shook his head, "but we should always give the fifth brother a chance, right? He is also your biological son after all. How can you really have the heart to change his clan status for a mere 250,000 taels? Is he on the road to death? Even if the tiger is poisoned, it will not eat its seeds!"

"You" Emperor Chongzhen thought: You are pretending to be a good person now! If you are willing to help him, will he have to run away at a loss?

Zhu Cihong said again: "Father, you have so many sons, and it is impossible for everyone to have a suitable official position. There will definitely be other sons who want to go into business in the future. But the business is dangerous and losses are inevitable. If you lose once, you will lose money." The clan status has been lost, who will dare to imitate the fifth brother in the future?"

"Is there anyone else who wants to imitate this disobedient man?" Chongzhen glared at Zhu Cixiang, "I don't have that much pension money to give them!"

Zhu Cixi smiled and said: "You shouldn't have given money to the fifth brother and his ministers. On behalf of the king, the king of Luokun County is well-run, so if you want to invest money, you should invest it with the three of us!"

The fifth brother is just starting out and doesn’t understand anything, so you dare to invest 250,000 taels in him. It’s normal to lose money on such an investment, it’s normal, it’s nothing.”

"You, you, just be angry with me!" Chongzhen stamped his feet, "Sooner or later I will make you disobedient people angry to death!"

Zhu Cixiang hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Father, please calm down. Your 51st birthday is just around the corner. Don't make your fifth brother so angry."

Chongzhen sighed, with a sad expression on his face, and said to Zhu Cihong: "If you are angry again, he is still my son. Your fifth brother has been miserable since he was a child. He lost his mother not long after he was born, and was later captured by the bandits." , stayed with the bandits for many years before being released.

Now I'm going to the New World again, and I don't know if I'll have the chance to come back in this life! Cihong, please give an order to the people over there in the New World, asking them to take good care of him."

It turns out that Chongzhen is still a good father

Zhu Cixiang nodded, "Father, don't worry, I will make arrangements for you."

Japan, Nagasaki City.

This port city, located at the westernmost point of the Japanese archipelago facing China, suddenly became crowded with Chinese people who came from Shanghai and wanted to go to the New World in the few months from the end of the thirteenth year of Hongxing to the beginning of the fourteenth year of Hongxing.

people.

The American House in the New World has been open for some years, but it has always been tepid and has not seen any immigration waves. Even if many Chinese people have crossed the ocean, they were probably coaxed by the Ming Dynasty and the United States authorities.

It's rarely spontaneous.

But for some reason during this period, tens of thousands of Chinese voluntarily left the most affluent Jiangnan water town in China, crossed the ocean and came to Japan, crowded in the small city of Nagasaki, waiting to go to the New World.

sea ​​ship.

This incident made the Japanese on Kyushu Island a little excited. Is there an opportunity to make a fortune in the New World?

Did they discover mountains of gold and silver? Or did they discover particularly warm, humid and fertile land? Otherwise, why would these Chinese people not even live in the wealthy hometown in the south of the Yangtze River, but go to the New World?
