Chapter 476 Dividends from the Craftsmen


Chapter 476 Dividends for the Craftsmen

On the second day of the second lunar month of the tenth year of Wanli, the dragon raised its head. On this day, firecrackers were blasting everywhere in the capital. Although the firemen in the Qiao Tower were everywhere and did not allow firecrackers to be set off, they opened the door. On this auspicious day, it is always more lively.

The firecrackers scolded the captains of Kanjiumen for being worthless and unable to even watch a firecracker enter Kyoto, which made their firecrackers miserable.

These days, the Ministry of Industry has often been made difficult by officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology. Even the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, Yi'ou, was scolded. The smell of coal smoke was already serious enough, but the smell of gunpowder smoke covered it up. The sky blocked out the sun, and the visibility was no more than twenty steps. The blue smoke covered the entire sky above the capital, and it was not until almost noon that it completely dissipated.

Today is the day when the official wool factory officially starts work. Work has actually started on the sixth day of the first lunar month. The demand is driving the craftsmen to run. If they don’t start work quickly, those merchants who are waiting to load the goods will be scolded in front of the factory. .

However, the groundbreaking ceremony was delayed until the second day of February because the ICBC was to be issued on this day.

After negotiation between the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the eunuch Cui Min, a sum of money was to be distributed to all the craftsmen.

There are two woolen factories in Yongding and Yongsheng, with a total of 33,000 craftsmen, and a total profit of 270,000 silver. This money was originally a dividend for Wang Chonggu and his family. The Wang family doesn't want it anymore. This money will be distributed to the craftsmen, which means that every craftsman in the official woolen factory will be issued 8 Ming silver coins and 100 Wanli Tongbao.

In the case of ICBC, there are not only two woolen official factories, but all official factories affiliated to the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty have this system, which accounts for about 10% of the profits of the official factories. Each of the Xishan Coal Bureau Each person in the shipyard is paid 7 silver and 322 Wanli Tongbao, and the shipyard is paid 9 silver and 637 Wanli Tongbao.

The price of coal in Xishan Coal Bureau is six cents per pound, the profit is relatively low, and the investment in heavy assets is relatively large. The profit of the shipyard is higher and the investment is more, so it was less last year, and the shipyard The products have the highest added value, so even if you invest more, the dividends will be the highest.

New Year, new atmosphere, the tenth year of Wanli, the tenth year of His Majesty's accession to the throne. The frugal emperor once again made a fortune in gold coins.

This was done entirely to mobilize the enthusiasm for production. The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty created countless profits for the national funds of the Ming Dynasty. It is natural to take out a sum of money. Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng, and Wang Chonggu are not good people. The purpose of this move was just to spur the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty to work harder.

Of course, this unhealthy trend has also been criticized by powerful right-wingers. The labor remuneration in official factories is generous and is paid as scheduled. At the same time, the children can go to school. Now even the ICBC is starting from the standard one-bank payment. , changed to profit sharing!

Zhu Yijun's car drove slowly to the Yongding Woolen Official Factory. Zhu Yijun comes every year, so the craftsmen are somewhat accustomed to this overly active Emperor. His presence is very common in the capital. Mu Yuzhi [zhì] wind, never avoid the toil of wind and dust.

Zhu Yijun got out of the car. When setting off, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng to get in the car and accompany him. Zhang Juzheng was stunned and refused. He and his courtiers took the Royal Horse Inspector's carriage to the Yongding Woolen Factory.

"I have finished reading the second volume of Sir's Theory of Class. It is really enlightening and enlightening. All the contents that I had not understood in the past are now clear to me." Zhu Yijun got out of the car and looked at the increasingly busy Mao Ni. Guanchang said sincerely.

The reason why we want to distribute dividends is that we have to mention the second volume of Zhang Juzheng's Theory of Class - Distribution. The content of this volume is really shocking. Although Zhu Yijun did not burn the book, he did not open the seal either. Just give a copy to the courtiers.

The appearance of the second volume made Zhu Yijun once again confirm his idea. Zhang Juzheng definitely has big things in his belly! Pick it up and shake it, you can definitely squeeze out a little more!

This is not an illusion. Zhang Juzheng even conceived the content and inference of the fourth volume, but he really did not dare to write it.

For the content of the second volume, Zhang Juzheng started from the "Book of Han": The farmer and his son were exposed in the middle and wild, did not avoid the cold and heat, dug into the soil, and their hands and feet were callous. The grain rent has been paid, and the levy has also been paid. The township officials asked for it privately, but they could not pay for it. Therefore, the people abandoned their roots and chased the bottom, and the cultivators could not even do half of it.

Grain rent (tenancy from landlords), tax (tax from the imperial court), and private demands from the countryside (exorbitant local taxes and miscellaneous taxes), three big mountains weighed on the people's heads.

This influence penetrated into all aspects. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperor and the court were busy hunting in the fields, indulged in women, did not eat grains, and were ignorant of the sufferings of the people. However, the scholar-bureaucrats were the trend of extravagance in the world. At the end of the century, people talked too much away from the farmland, and did not know that the world was in danger, but they still took pleasure in approaching the end. This situation has become even more corrupt at the grassroots level. In today's counties and counties, the fields are long but not cultivated, the city walls are empty but not real, and the poor people are given fields. , Jia is sold at a low price.

Zhang Juzheng used the contents of "Hanshu" and "Salt and Iron Theory·Wei Tong" to explain the problems of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the fundamental reason why Zhang Juzheng got four natural inferences, because the problem has existed since the Han Dynasty, and the dynasties have changed so many times. By the Ming Dynasty, the problem was still the same, with almost no change.

The scholar-bureaucrats who are skilled in the hands of women in the palace, are not familiar with the world and do not know the top level of the sufferings of the people, the threshold of luxury and pleasure is constantly rising, and the farmers who are unable to farm with peace of mind and whose fields are abandoned and can only be sold to merchants at low prices, these are It was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the end of the Ming Dynasty.

After admitting the fact that Daming has entered old age, he chooses to face many problems directly, but it is not that difficult. Closing his eyes and covering his ears, shouting that I won’t listen, I won’t listen, can’t solve anything. question.

Zhang Juzheng believes that there is a problem with distribution, and it is a very serious problem. Since the roar of Dazexiang, civil strife has never ceased in the past dynasties. Looking at this problem from the perspective of Confucian filial piety, it means that the unruly people are unwilling to stay in peace and order, and Wang Shi crusade to pacify them. However, the second volume of Class Theory reveals this reality.

Are the civil unrest in past dynasties all the fault of the common people?

Just like the father and son mentioned at the beginning of the second volume, they worked hard all day long in the fields, and were eventually exploited by three parties. If all three parties could be less exploited, would it be possible to prevent the fields from being abandoned? What about the problem?

In this paragraph, Zhang Juzheng quoted Chao Cuo, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, from his letter "Guarding Borders, Preparing Fortresses and Encouraging Farmers". As early as the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Chao Cuo gave various methods to persuade farmers. Liben, but Chao Cuo's decree to cut down the vassals led to the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty issued an order to cut off Chao Cuo, so that Chao Cuo's memorial was completely negated [Note 1].

"Sir, this second volume is well written." Zhu Yijun affirmed again, and of course he read the natural inferences from the second volume.

But he didn’t care very much. Either he would become a confused Louis XVI and be pushed to the guillotine by the excited bourgeoisie; On the tree;

As an emperor, if you don’t even have the determination to be shattered to pieces, what kind of emperor can you be?

Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, did not have this awareness. He thought that politics could be compromised and politics could coexist. He thought that his only enemy was the little prince of Beilu. He completely ignored the cruelty of political struggle and the life-and-death struggle. Thinking it was appeasement, he won the battle in Yingzhou. From the moment he led the troops to fight, he was already the enemy of the scholar-bureaucrat class.

He fell into the water, he died of illness, and he didn’t even have any descendants.

After Daoye succeeded to the throne, the New Deal in the first twenty years of Jiajing never promoted military power.

When the emperor takes up military power, there is only one way to go. The holy will is arbitrary to the end. The whole world can only have one will, that is the emperor, and there is no way out.

From the time Zhu Yijun started practicing martial arts, this path was already destined.

Zhu Yijun is now compromising. The best outcome is that after Zhang Juzheng's death, he died suddenly. Prince Zhu Changzhi succeeded to the throne. The master of the country was suspicious. He turned over the sesame cakes again. After so many years of promoting culture and martial arts, the martial artist suddenly Turned over.

“It’s just nonsense to confuse the public and fallacy.” Wang Chonggu flicked his sleeves and said angrily: “It’s completely nonsense!”

Wang Chonggu was very resentful. He didn't want to get in the car at all. He just wanted to quietly be his own power and be his own luxury household. He was completely deceived by Zhang Juzheng and went to the Wenhua Palace to express his thoughts. He was deceived by Zhang Juzheng. I got on the pirate ship and now I can’t even think about getting off.

"Wang Cifu can become an official." Zhang Juzheng was not angry, and said back angrily. He didn't want to do it, but there were plenty of people who did it.

Wang Chonggu hesitated to speak, and finally let out a loud sound from his nostrils: "Humph!"

Wang Chonggu was reluctant to leave. He had to judge whether this was the only opportunity in his life, let him He got rid of the word traitor and became a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty and Zhongxing. Then thousands of years later, when someone mentions him again, they will recognize him instead of scolding him as an unfaithful, unfilial and treacherous person.

This temptation is unbearable for any scholar-official.

"Haha." Zhu Yijun laughed and walked into the woolen official factory.

The emperor has made a schedule to come today. The entire woolen official factory has been cleaned extremely clean. There are even crabapple and peach blossoms blooming to welcome the emperor's arrival. Zhu Yijun is here to hand out money. The gap in the floor tiles All the dust and dirt inside was cleaned out, for fear of dirtying His Majesty's shoes.

The dividend of 8 silver and 100 copper is comparable to the income of a year's labor. The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty only earned 12 silver a year.

Zhu Yijun entered the official woolen factory. Since it was the opening ceremony, the emperor naturally wanted to symbolically light the steam engine. He threw the igniting paper into the stove, and the flame ignited the straw. Under the weak wind of the blower , the flame of the straw was hot, igniting the firewood, the smoke from the firewood covered the coal, the coal turned slightly red, and the bottom of the boiler began to heat.

As the smoke billowed, the steam engines in the factory began to roar. The noise of the newly launched 7.5-horse steam engine was smaller than that of the three-horse steam engine. This was the result of technological improvements. The crankshaft drove the flywheel. The flywheel rotates rapidly to drive a set of gears, and the power is transmitted along the transmission shaft to the wool washing factory. In the factory, when heating, turning the wool finally changes from manual to mechanical.

The corner of Zhu Yijun's mouth twitched. He had just lit the ignition paper, even the coal was slightly red, and the steam engine started to operate!

Obviously the high-pressure boiler connected to the steam engine is not the one in front of Zhu Yijun at all!

The emperor could understand Wang Chonggu's concerns. The explosion of the high-pressure boiler of a steam engine was a very dangerous thing. The emperor really died in front of the boiler of the Mao Ni Official Factory. The whole Mao Ni Official Factory and the Royal Gemological Garden Above and below, everyone must be buried with the emperor.

Even if there is a safe distance, Wang Chonggu still 'played' the emperor, as long as he meant it.

Zhu Yijun turned around and looked at the woolen factory craftsman representatives who had put on new clothes to welcome him. Originally, the Ministry of Rites had prepared a long speech, which was as hard to read as chanting scriptures.

“Distribute money!” Zhu Yijun waved his hand and without any gossip, he directly asked the eunuchs, eunuchs, and tycoons to start distributing money.

Ten thousand words are not as effective as sending real money.

The emperor who did not follow the routine made Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, a little helpless. He had tried his best to keep his speeches concise, and even most of them were commonplaces, but His Majesty's gesture of handing out money was inconsistent with Sha Amaimaiti throws a silver bag and is as elegant as letting people drink tea.

At least in the minds of the craftsmen, His Majesty’s action was very elegant.

Boxes of silver coins and boxes of Wanli Tongbao were carried to the officialdom. More than a hundred scribes, under the watchful eyes of the eunuchs, began to distribute this year's dividends. The dividends were in a box. You can collect it by registering your name, and you can collect it according to the shift. The craftsmen lined up in a long line, everything is so orderly.

Giving free money to the poor is not a sin, at least none of the Ming Gongs present thought so. As for the accompanying officials, no one could say for certain what they were thinking.

If this money is distributed, the subjective initiative that explodes and the technological progress brought about by vitality will bring more surprises to the official factory.

Wang Chonggu said from the beginning that the main body of the official factory is the craftsmen. Before, the official factory had New Year silver and start-up silver, which were fixed one silver coin. Now it is the craftsmen who receive dividends.

Zhu Yijun saw Liu Qiniang, the one who wanted to eat meat for the emperor. It turned out that the oiran of Yanxing Tower was later placed in Yongsheng Woolen Factory by Feng Bao. She still has the charm and the adopted child is half Big, Liu Qiniang smiled happily when she received the money.

Liu Qiniang is a weaver. She also became a female teacher in a women's school because of her reading and literacy. Her aura has long since disappeared, and she has become more refined and easy-going.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, long live your Majesty." Liu Qiniang bowed five times and kowtowed three times.

"No need for gifts, Qiniang's style is still the same as before." Zhu Yijun met Liu Qiniang. She is one of the representatives of the craftsmen, and she is one of the few people who is willing to tell the truth.

Liu Qiniang said with emotion: "Last time, I told His Majesty that the official factory was surrounded by gambling houses. In a few days, all the gambling houses disappeared without a trace. Later, the gambling houses entered In the official factory, there were some rotten gamblers who kept the factory in a state of chaos. They were arrogant for only seven days, and then the factory's legal affairs department took away all their hard-earned money for gambling. "Fang, it really shouldn't be." Zhu Yijun nodded and said, Liu Qiniang likes to tell the truth, and she will talk about any problems around the official factory.

Liu Qiniang knew that the emperor did not meet her because she still had her charm, but because he wanted to understand the problems of the official factory. She said helplessly: "Now the areas around the official factory are not gambling houses, but brothels. These brothels Girl, I don’t dare to start a gambling game in the building, but it’s a mess.”

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "They are all lazy people. I have nothing to do with them. I can only drive away."

The emperor is not omnipotent. Liu Qiniang is very aware of this fact. With Zhi Niang I couldn't stand the hard work, or I couldn't bear the poverty, or I was envious of the world of fireworks. After working for a year and a half, I decided to go to a brothel.

Liu Qiniang reads and writes. She comes from the world of fireworks herself and knows that this is indeed an unsolvable problem.

Of course the court can strictly prohibit them, but these prostitutes will turn into secret prostitutes, which will be even more difficult to trace. Originally, the secret prostitutes still have a place to go, the brothels are closed, and the secret prostitutes live in the factories. , On the contrary, it ruined the atmosphere in the factory. This back and forth made it even more difficult to end.

Food and sex are the same, so that’s all.

Zhu Yijun and Liu Qiniang learned about the changes in the official factory, especially the impact of the increase in the horsepower and scale of steam engines. Liu Qiniang’s words were very pessimistic. The general manager Wang Chonggu had tried his best to reduce the number of weavers. However, another thousand weavers were eliminated.

An organization that cannot or loses its metabolic function will inevitably lead to ultimate destruction. It can be as small as a household, a handicraft workshop, a business gang, or a trading house, or as large as a court or a dynasty.

But Qingtai still makes Zhu Yijun worry about their lives. Fortunately, there are still private houses to go to.

Liu Qiniang met the emperor together with other representatives of craftsmen. Obviously Liu Qiniang knew the emperor, and these representatives of craftsmen did not dare to gossip. As soon as the emperor issued the money, they arranged scandals about the emperor. It doesn't make sense.

His Majesty the Emperor finally met with the representatives of the craftsmen. Wang Chonggu was really relieved. It was obvious that His Majesty was in a good mood. Wang Chonggu was always frightened every time he came for inspection, because Wang Chonggu had no idea who the emperor would choose to be the face saint, Guan Factory There was no way there would be no problems at all. Fortunately, this time, we passed the test smoothly.

“It was better when Wang Cifu was in charge. At that time, Wang Cifu also received a 10% dividend, and there were many fewer problems at that time.” Zhu Yijun handed over some of the problems compiled by Zhang Hong to Wang Chonggu, and his face finally looked a little better. It looked ugly.

Zhu Yijun further said clearly: "There are really too many administrative offices, agencies, conference offices, and administrative affairs in the official factory. Everyone's words work, but what the craftsmen say doesn't work? Wang Cifu is solely responsible for this. At that time, there was no such thing. Who arranged for these bugs to come in? Find out and eliminate them all!” , I want to see who dares to fish for them. "

Speaking of nepotism, Liu Qiniang is also a nepotist, but Liu Qiniang is not only good at work, but also holds the position of teacher.

There were several accidents in the factory, and there were many idle people in the factory. It was fine not to work, but they kept pointing fingers, and the efficiency began to decrease. A few big bosses kept talking and talking. It was really heartbreaking to let it slip, and it felt a bit like the scholar-bureaucrats felt that people's hearts were not ancient and the world was in decline.

There are even moths that dare to secretly set up gambling rooms in the factory.

Liu Qiniang doesn’t gamble, so she doesn’t know that Da Da Tou is very aware of these things. Anyone who comes to work with red eyes means he hasn’t slept all night and is gambling on Pai Gow.

"I obey the order." Wang Chonggu obeyed the orders of his leader. For more than a year, he had been working at the Xishan Coal Bureau, but he had neglected the official woolen factory.

However, His Majesty’s intention is very clear and he is not to be blamed. Long-term practice has told Zhu Yijun that the situation is bound to happen if the situation gets bigger. If there is a problem, solve it instead of covering it up.

Wang Chonggu's lifeblood is to build government, factory, and teamwork. Wang Chonggu will naturally let these worms know how to repent.

Zhu Yijun left with the courtiers, and Wang Chonggu began to ask questions in person. He didn’t know if he didn’t ask, and his face turned dark when he asked. He planned to pay close attention to this personnel matter. In fact, it is very simple to do. Please refer to the official examination selection. If you don't pass the law exam, you can't transfer to administration.

Wang Qian poured a cup of tea for his biological father and said in a low voice: "Dad, I gave you all my money..."

Wang Chonggu interrupted Wang Qian angrily and shouted sternly Said: "Shut up."

"Dad, are we going to give up on the Jin Party completely? Dad goes to Xishan Coal Bureau more times than to the Quan Jin Guild Hall." Wang Qian said sarcastically asked. He hadn't read the second volume of Class Theory yet, so he didn't particularly understand the sudden dividends, but he gradually discovered that his father's foundation had changed.

Wang Chonggu leaned back on his chair and pondered for a long time before he said dejectedly: "The Jin Party has changed and died after the peace talks more than ten years ago. In your eyes, those are all uncles and uncles. , but if you look carefully, what you see is just the process of corpse decay."

"Is there a person doing something? If this continues, the Jin Party will eventually find no place for itself. The land will eventually destroy itself."

"Did you know that Zhang Juzheng saw that the Jin Party was decayed more than ten years ago, and I only saw it when Qi Shuai attacked Bansheng. ”

In the original historical line, the Jin Party finally defeated itself. Zhang Siwei counterattacked and killed Zhang Juzheng. Ding You died of a sudden illness when he returned home. The Jin Party fell and scattered, and there was no more moment of unity. , a group of scattered Shanxi merchants, finally became the imperial merchants of the Tatars outside the pass.

Wang Qian's eyes widened and he took a few hard breaths before nodding solemnly and saying, "Dad is still dad. You can see clearly that you haven't eaten so many years of salt in vain."


Wang Chonggu told himself that he was not angry, because when he got angry, there was no one to help him. Wang Qian's unbridled speech, his father's kindness and his son's filial piety, Wang Chonggu had seen many times and was used to it.

"Is it possible that Zhang Juzheng is not that powerful, but that when Yang Dazai came to find him, he was not allowed to take over the Jin Party due to the situation at that time?" Wang Qian mentioned a hypothesis, maybe Zhang Juzheng's eyesight did not Wang Chonggu thought so much.

"That's right. People who can see for five years are already among the best." Wang Chonggu thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case. Zhang Juzheng was powerful, but not that powerful.

Wang Qian asked flatteringly: "Dad, is there a new collection of speculative essays in the court recently? Let me have a look."

"Just take it." Wang Chonggu took it from his sleeve He took out the second volume of "Theory of Class" and handed it to Wang Qian. The emperor did not explicitly prohibit the circulation of this book. In fact, it had been dispersed in a small area. Mainly the Ministry of Rites was revising it and corrected some inappropriate places.

What Wang Qian saw was the original version, which was written by Zhang Juzheng and scolded Fang Qiu.

Wang Qian read two paragraphs and closed it immediately. He felt his heart beat faster. He held the scroll and asked with wide eyes: "Didn't your Majesty kill Yuan Fu?!"

"Your Majesty likes to watch it very much." Wang Chonggu spread his hands and said: "I said this is a fallacy. I said it in front of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty does not agree with it."

"Actually, it makes sense if you look closely. The contradiction Isn’t it about spears and shields? This civil unrest since ancient times has always been blamed on the civil unrest, but think about it, why did Emperor Taizu Gao raise an army? Isn’t he unable to survive?” Wang Qian looked again. After reading two paragraphs, I felt that what Zhang Juzheng said was quite reasonable.

The Ming Dynasty has the basis for this discussion, because everyone in the world knows about the miserable life of Emperor Taizu Gao, and even the experience of begging for three years was not covered up.

"Everyone can think it makes sense, but our family can't think it makes sense!" Wang Chonggu said angrily, really angry.

My family is powerful and powerful, and Wang Qian is the second richest boy in the capital!

Wang Qian decided to take it back and study it carefully. He thought of His Majesty standing in front of the boiler and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is still wearing green clothes. It has been eighty or nine years. Not to mention, the color of blue is still the same. It’s very nice, and the cyan ones sold in the clothing store are also very good.”

“Yes, Your Majesty is indeed frugal.” Wang Chonggu nodded, approving of this. His Majesty has spent all the money he has gained through increasing revenue and reducing expenditure over the years. It was invested in developing maritime affairs, this time another 10 million silver was used to develop plantations overseas and increase the proportion of overseas official gardens and official fields.

The weather is getting colder, the drought in the north and Guizhou has been intensifying year after year, and a granary is needed.

“The price of boat guides has skyrocketed, is it you?” Wang Chonggu asked with slightly narrowed eyes.

Wang Qian waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, dad won't let me make money. How can I dare to make this kind of money? It's absolutely nothing."

"Tell the truth!" Wang Chonggu looked at it. The look on Wang Qian's face showed that he had something up his sleeve. If the rebellious son was really not tainted by the cause and effect at all, he would definitely complain about his father's lenient management, just like the sages, gentry, and humble Confucians.

"Bought a little."

"How much? How much money does the family lack?" Wang Chonggu's fists were hardened. Worsted woolen cloth, ship tickets, and pearls for King Lu's wedding, Now it’s Funaki again!

Wang Qian held out a finger guiltily and said: "Dad, that's not a little money. It's gone crazy. I really want to buy a little."

"Ten ship guides?" Wang Chonggu asked with a frown. road.

“One hundred.” Wang Qian’s voice was as low as a mosquito’s cry, inaudible.

Wang Chonggu stood up suddenly and said in horror: "One hundred?! There are only three hundred in total, you accepted one hundred?! One more thing, you are a big banker! Where are you from? Money!”

“I earned it by pouring pearls last time.” Wang Qian was already preparing to run away. Anyway, Wang Chonggu was too old to catch up with him.

Wang Chonggu waved his hand and said: "Just give it a try."

Wang Qian hurriedly said: "Dad, I will sell it tomorrow, dad, don't be angry."

"It's okay. I'll sell it when the peak season comes in April. This time the imperial court is building a maritime school in the five hinterland cities. Just donate some of the profits and don't make people hate you." Wang Chonggu didn't care.

In the speculative market, the big fish eats the small fish. This time Wang Qian was able to comply with the imperial decree.

"Ah? Dad, are you serious?" Wang Qian asked blankly.

Wang Chonggu said calmly: "Well, really, you just have to stir things up. The more hype you have, the better. Use all your skills. If the sky falls, I will support you."

"Dad, don't scare me. I just want to experience the hard work of making money! Dad, I will sell it tomorrow and donate all the money. I won't dare to do it anymore. I really don't dare anymore." Wang Qian was frightened. Okay, if you just mess around with the boat, can the sky collapse?

"So what if the sky falls? Your Majesty has the final say in this world!" Wang Chonggu said in a low voice.

Wang Qian's eyes immediately lit up and he asked: "Is this what your Majesty means?"

"Yes."

"Father, just watch it! Let's take a look! I, Wang Qian, have taken over the newly built Maritime Academy in Ming Dynasty!" Wang Qian immediately became energetic.

Wang Chonggu and his son are typical worshipers of authority. They don’t even believe in the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but believe in what His Majesty says. Moreover, His Majesty keeps his promises and never breaks his promises.
