After being summoned by Zhu Yunwen, Grianqi, a proud foreigner, drove directly from Nanjing to the Longjiangkou to the Hangzhou Canal Wharf as quickly as possible.

"His Majesty the Great Emperor, your most loyal servant, Griance, is honored to be summoned by you."

European flattery sounds far more numb than the Ming Dynasty.

This made the little eunuch in charge of the translation say goosebumps.

Zhu Yunwen was not idle during the days when he was waiting for Grianchi. He sorted out all the information from Quanzhou. As soon as Grianchi arrived, he took out all the information.

"This is the information from Quanzhou. I have ordered someone to compile it for you. If you take a closer look, I plan to issue relevant clear commercial legislation to regulate Quanzhou's business behavior. I hope you can provide some constructive opinions."

After Grianchi took it, he calmed down. Zhu Yunwen didn't urge him. He copied a book by himself. The two of them sat opposite each other quietly, working their own work.

It took more than an hour to put down the stack of books in his hand.

As soon as he was about to speak, he saw the "man" named eunuch behind the emperor making a gesture of silence at him, and Grianchi immediately kept silent.

Zhu Yunwen is fascinated by watching it now.

If it weren't for the fact that Shuangxi added tea once, Zhu Yunwen would have forgotten that there was a foreigner sitting opposite him.

"Are you finished reading?"

"Yes."

"You're not authentic."

Zhu Yunwen joked: "For this stack of information, I have been writing for several hours, and the compilation has been busy all day. You can finish reading it in just a quarter of an hour.

In your words, this is called disrespect for the fruits of other people's labor."

Everyone in the room laughed.

"Since I've finished reading it, let's talk about what I feel about it."

“Amazing.”

Grianchi said in amazement: "It's really incredible. Great Your Majesty, what a powerful and rich country you have, and what a smart group of subjects you have.

In this city called Quanzhou, businessmen in your country are creating miracles of business.

I have always believed that only Europa merchants are real merchants, they are smart, cunning and greedy, but the merchants in your country are obviously even more important."

Zhu Yunwen's face turned dark after saying this: "Is this a praise?"

"certainly."

Grianchi didn't think there was anything wrong with his expression: "For businessmen, these words are praise.

Merchants should be greedy and cunning.

Because business behavior itself is a fraud.

There is a saying in your country that is called "Wang Po sells melons and boasts about himself."

Fruits that were not sweet were also praised for their own scatteredness. Isn’t this a fraud?"

Zhu Yunwen was speechless and his words were rough but not rough. What Grianchi said was really fine.

"Any industry has industry guidelines, and we cannot apply it to every corner of society with the virtue of honesty and trustworthiness.

If there is no lies between this world, you will definitely not like it."

Grianchi was amazed at the development of Quanzhou. He never imagined that there could be a port city that could be so large.

“Quanzhou, a miraculous city.

The commercialization of the city here has been fully taken, and the people in this city are always striving to seize wealth.

This is the greatest respect for business, the best interpretation of the identity of a businessman, everything is for wealth.”

Seeing that Griance did not leave the word "money" in three sentences, Zhu Yunwen waved his hand a little annoyed.

"I'm not here to listen to you promoting your capital supremacy. I want to hear you have any good solutions to pour a basin of cold water on Quanzhou's current overheated commercialization."

Put cold water on Quanzhou's business system?

Grianchi felt that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was simply crazy!

Such a fully mature economic system does not want to continue to expand, but instead suppress it?

"The great emperor, Quanzhou, is a capital city beast located by the sea, and the open port is the bloody mouth of this gold-swalking monster.

I believe that with your wise eyes comparable to God, you can see that this city is absorbing endless amounts of wealth for your empire.

Why suppress him?"

"Because the greed of capital is endless."

Zhu Yunwen said in a deep voice: "They are absorbing all the wealth and interests that can be seen. In the future, when this beast grows stronger, it will absorb the flesh and blood of the people.

In my country, they only have the right to dominate and enjoy wealth, and should not have the right to formulate economic system rules.

If they don't put this beast in a cage now, they will be involved in things they shouldn't have been thinking about in the future."

Grianqi touched his nose, unable to understand Zhu Yunwen's thoughts.

In this world, the law of the jungle is applicable to all aspects of society. What are you going to worry about and worry about?

"Well, the great emperor, everything in this country belongs to you. I will do my best to help you in what you want to do."

Grianchi chose to compromise. He was not the one who suppressed him anyway, so it didn't matter.

"First of all, we must limit the inflow of capital from non-Ming Dynasty, and we cannot increase the proportion of capital from non-Ming Dynasty to a point where it may threaten local capital."

Zhu Yunwen made the first request, and the investment of Japan and Arabs made Zhu Yunwen very unhappy.

This gave him a feeling that the country's money was in the pockets of foreigners.

"Secondly, what you mentioned earlier is that as the trade surplus expands, it will inevitably impact the private economic system of our Ming Dynasty, causing the exchange system of copper coins and silver to collapse. You have to find a way to do this.

Finally, I feel that my Ming Dynasty businessmen are currently pursuing the expansion of the quantity of assets rather than encouraging the quality of technology.

The output capacity has been standing still, just blindly hiring people and recruiting more labor. Isn’t this still going around?”

Faced with these three requests made by Zhu Yunwen, Grianchi's face twitched.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is so difficult to serve.

“Restricting non-local capital inflows can be resolved by law or restricting registration permits.”

Grianchi thought for a moment before speaking: "Your country has strict commercial authorization regulations, and unauthorized commercial behavior is prohibited. This is a little supplementary. For example, once the proportion of non-local capital in a chamber of commerce reaches a certain level, it cannot be registered.

If the registered capital is introduced, the local commercial management department can conduct annual reviews. If the review is violated, the commercial license will be cancelled.

As for the second point, it is easy to deal with, the cash bank obtained through trade, or merchants from Southeast Asia and Japan came to the Ming Dynasty to purchase it.

For bulk transactions that have reached a certain amount, it is prohibited to use all cash banks directly to deliver goods with the local chamber of commerce. The cash banks in this transaction can be deposited into the local bank in proportion and used with bank-equivalent tickets.

That is, the payment method of cash-in-money plus tickets to complete commodity transactions.

As long as the bank's credit system does not collapse, it can be fully affordable and the central reserve bank can be increased."

Grianchi's answer made Zhu Yunwen nod frequently, and then asked urgently: "What about the third point, how to guide it?"

The enthusiasm of capital is expansion and progress. Zhu Yunwen only knew that Europa had a rapid leap in its technological level after the booming capitalism. At present, capital in the Ming Dynasty has begun to show its fierceness. In terms of wealth, the entire Europa is not necessarily richer than that in the Ming Dynasty.

There is no reason why productivity has been standing still.

"If there are the first two points, there cannot be a third point, it is conflicting."

Grianchi spread his hands helplessly: "Your Majesty the great emperor, if you want to realize the third point you ask, you must encourage and support the continued prosperity of capital. This original intention of your desire to suppress capital is exactly the opposite."

This answer was unexpected by Zhu Yunwen, and he was stunned.

“Why?”

"Great Emperor, don't you think your empire's human power is a little too inflated?"

Grianchi expressed his thoughts in his usual exaggerated body language: "God, a powerful empire with a population of 70 million is like an old woman. It is difficult for her to move around. How can she fly vigorously?"

If productivity does not improve, it has a yarn relationship with population!

Zhu Yunwen was a little confused when he heard this, but fortunately he had a good temper and knew that he was not ashamed to ask.

"Don't keep it aside, hurry up and say."

"A blunt explanation is that it is the inadvantage of inadvantage caused by the cheap labor force."

Grianchi said a point that Zhu Yunwen never noticed: "Since the value of labor itself is not high, with the characteristics of capital, they will of course pursue the expansion of assets in quantity rather than shifting their focus to the quality of technology.

This is why you will find that the Imperial Chamber Association, which has hundreds of millions of wealth, has so many rich men who use this money to eat, drink and have fun instead of investing in technical research.

The source of wealth of the Royal Chamber of Commerce is actually to take advantage of the policy dividend or the dividend of the golden sign on their heads, not how much ability they have.”

Cheap labor limits the enterprising nature of capital and amplifies the greedness of capital.

This answer really made Zhu Yunwen feel refreshed.

And isn’t the current performance of the royal merchants exactly as Griance said?

"Shuangxi, the next arrangements are cancelled today. I will send someone to the Bay Restaurant to buy some good dishes. I will ask for some advice today."

Kublai Khan could treat the Green Church's polite and nobles, summoning him to build a palace for himself and become a minister of the court. What kind of good airs do Zhu Yunwen have?

"I am flattered by your enlightenment. Your glory is as good as God. As your humble servant, I dare not ask for advice."

"Don't be polite, drink tea."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand.
