Chapter 1577 The world is one family, discuss it well
Zhu Cibing was indeed a filial son, and the posthumous title he prepared for Chongzhen was quite appropriate.
Zhu Cixiang looked back at Prince Zhu San again, "Third son, what do you think? Is Emperor Fuzongxian okay?"
"Okay, okay!" Zhu Cijiong nodded, "Let's call Shaotian Zhiming Fengheng Yuda or something... Anyway, my father is quite happy in this life. Although the emperor did not do well, he has a long life and good fortune, so he will give it to us.
The three brothers gave birth to more than a hundred brothers!"
He looked at Zhu Cixiang and said, "Boss, you are also amazing. You have so many brothers, but you have arranged it well!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled and waved his hand, "Whether my brothers are doing well or not depends mainly on themselves. As the elder brother, I just create some opportunities for them... In fact, the success of a king is only the death of ten thousand bones!"
Of course it is not easy to found a country and start a business. In the past few decades, it has not been easy for Chongzhen's son to go abroad to start a business... It is much better to die outside!
And more are the county princes who have lost their entire family. Starting a business is risky, and you need to be cautious when building a country... Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty does not keep princes in captivity. They can still become petty officials or go to big trading houses after losing all their family property.
If you find a job in the Chamber of Commerce, you can count on supporting yourself.
Zhu Cijiong nodded, "That's right, it's not easy for anyone to make a career outside now!"
It is indeed not easy!
Although Zhu Cixiang's brothers have many advantages, it is too difficult to start a business. Anyone who can successfully start a business must have real ability or they have been spotted by other people with real ability. For example, Zhu Cihuan and
Zhu Cixuan, these two soft rice kings, not only have real skills, but also real capital!
And in the process of establishing a business, quite a few princes and princes of the Zhu family died or went bankrupt!
Zhu Cixiang said again: "It is indeed not easy to start a business and open up new territories! Third brother, why did you say these things to Brother Yu today?"
"Brother," Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "since you know that it is not easy for them, have you ever thought about how we, the Ming Dynasty, will govern so many vassal states that are difficult to create in the future?"
Zhu Cixiang nodded, and then shouted: "Good luck, did you hear your third uncle's question? What do you think?
When I send your grandfather away, he will abdicate and become emperor. Then you will be the emperor! How to manage so many hard-won vassal states is all your business."
This question is indeed difficult to answer! Now it is not easy for the Ming Dynasty to manage its own provincial towns, and it is too difficult to manage the vassal states... and those vassal states were all fought or slept on their own ability!
"Father," Zhu Hexing stepped forward on horseback, "I think that vassal countries should always observe etiquette... There must be respect for superiors and inferiors!"
"What about the vassal state that doesn't observe etiquette?" Zhu Cixiang asked again.
In fact, the vassal state that observes etiquette is of little use, and it is becoming more and more undefeatable. Even the armaments of the Kingdom of Japan have become increasingly lax in recent years.
The ones that can really fight against the Western powers at the front are the United States, the United Kingdom, the Kingdom of Qing, the Republic of Xichu, and the Kingdom of Jungar. None of them are considered to be ritual countries.
"Um..." Zhu Hexing was a bit out of touch with Ding Yuying. Ding Yuying is not here at the moment! What difficult questions should be asked to her!
"Father, these countries don't even care!"
"Lao San, do you have any good tips to teach the prince?" Zhu Cixiang asked the third prince Zhu again.
"Brother, what can I do? Zhu Cijiong smiled and said, "It's just a trick... Let's discuss it together."
Zhu Cixiang nodded, "The Republic of Western Chu and the Kingdom of Zhungeer have done well in recent years... and they are quite obedient! Isn't this the result of the third child's good training?"
"I don't dare to take such a big credit," Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "We are our own people in Xichu after all... Zhun Geer depends entirely on Anu! By the way, Anu will come too?"
"Come," Zhu Cixiang nodded, "I haven't seen her for many years... I miss her so much!"
Zhu Cixiang had many children, but they were not raised by him. On the contrary, Anu had been with him since he was a child, so the relationship was certainly different.
"Brother," Zhu Cijiong nodded and said, "This is a rare opportunity! It's really not easy for a big family, scattered all over the world, to get together! I don't know when the next time will be...
…”
Next time? Zhu Cihong thought to himself: It will be my turn next time, right? Let’s meet again in another twenty years, or preferably thirty years. There is really no rush in this matter!
Zhu Cijiong glanced at his brother who was frowning, and then continued: "Brother, you have to take advantage of the fact that our generation is still here, call everyone to have a meeting, and discuss a set of laws that are acceptable to all aspects.
In particular, there must be a well-discussed system, so that all aspects can be discussed and handled, so that our descendants can live in harmony!"
Zhu Cihong nodded and looked at Zhu Hexing again.
Zhu Hexing said: "What the third uncle said is very good. Now our family members are scattered all over the world. Some of them are talented people and have established many countries. Some of them are big and powerful. My father is still there. These big and powerful countries are naturally
I don’t dare to fail to observe the courtesy. But what about my father after Qianqiu? I think it’s better to discuss it carefully. After all, we are all a family! If we really want to break up, then the gain will not be worth the loss."
Yes, it would be inappropriate for a family conflict to turn into a world war!
Moreover, the United States, Qing State, Western Chu State, Zhungeer State, and the United Kingdom were too far away from the Ming Dynasty. The cost of sending troops to attack was too high, and even if they won, they would lose their money.
Zhu and Xing are both quite old, and they worked their way up from county magistrate to magistrate!
Of course we know that losing money will lead to death!
Zhu Hexing didn't believe that any overt offense against a powerful Ming would be punished even if it was far away. Moreover, he also knew that the Ming Dynasty and those powerful vassals were interdependent. Without the United States and the United Kingdom, the Qing Kingdom was open to accept the Ming Dynasty's "preparation for Li Zicheng"
, Could the capitalist path of the Ming Dynasty be so stable?
And because gold mines with gratifying reserves have been discovered on the land of the United States, the United Kingdom (Southern Continent), and the Qing Kingdom, these three countries have very strong purchasing power, and they are all rich countries! Nowadays, the handicrafts produced in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty,
About half of it was exported to these three wealthy countries. And more than 80% of the gold and silver produced by the three wealthy countries flowed into the Ming Dynasty through trade.
Although the Ming Empire itself does not participate in the sharing of the profits from the gold and silver mines of the Three Kingdoms, through trade and trade-related commercial taxes (the current Ming Dynasty is very serious about collecting business taxes), the court of the Ming Empire is still the owner of the gold and silver mines of the Three Kingdoms.
The biggest beneficiary of development.
Even for the sake of the continuous inflow of gold and silver and the continuous outflow of "preparing Li Zicheng", Zhu Hexing was unwilling to fall out with them. At his age and having encountered so many troubles, it would have been long ago.
There is no need to be vigorous anymore, the most important thing is to go about life steadily.
Zhu Cixiang smiled and nodded. He was also an old man in his seventies, and he did not want his descendants to fight and lose the world war after he gave up. The consequences would be very serious! The Habsburg dynasty in history, Huo
The Henzollern dynasty, the Romanov dynasty, and the Ottoman dynasty were all wiped out by the First World War!
This is worse than revolution! Revolution does not spread so quickly. Countries with more poor people are more likely to have revolution. Countries with extremely rich local tycoons are less likely to have revolution. It is too late to dig for gold. Who has the time?
Making a revolution?
Therefore, even if a revolutionary trend without the trigger of a world war arises, the descendants of the Zhu family can hide elsewhere, or at worst, go to those wealthy countries to avoid the limelight.
But if my family starts a world war and then starts a world revolution, there will be no place to hide!
