Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

After the questioning was over, Shao Shude felt a little lost.

No one is interested in Bohai Trading Company.

But that's okay, he's going to push it hard.When the profit of this enterprise can be stabilized at hundreds of thousands of dollars, only half of it will be used for dividends every year. Even if there is only 1% of the shares, it will be calculated in thousands.

This amount of money is still the kind that flows slowly every year, and no one can ignore it.

A governor of Xiazhou has an annual salary of only 720 yuan.

The annual salary of the prime minister is only more than 3000 yuan, which is similar to that of the Jiedushi—Xia Wang rewards 3600 yuan. This amount is the annual salary of Shao Shude as the Shuofang Jiedushi.

Taking Chen Cheng as an example, if he owns 1% of the shares, it would be equivalent to getting an extra annual salary without increasing the workload, isn't it good?
If he recognizes this benefit, he will be particularly concerned about matters related to Bohai Trading Company and even Liaodong Road.

Once someone in Liaodong rebelled and affected everyone's money, that would be unbearable.

Which official dares to say that the suppression of the rebellion in Liaodong costs too much, it is better to give up and shrink the checkpoints and troops back to the interior, then he really does not want to be promoted.

It is true that sometimes, giving up part of the land appropriately is beneficial to maintaining the rule of the declining dynasty, and may allow the decadent dynasty to last for another ten or eight years, but what is the point of this?
Shao Shude was very open-minded.

He felt that it was acceptable, and even what he wanted to see, to be able to maintain Liaodong until the moment the dynasty collapsed, and to hand it over smoothly to the next dynasty that rose.

In the 21st century, Northeast China is within the territory of China, but will it necessarily develop like this in this time and space?No one can say for sure about this kind of thing, maybe it is the same as Vietnam, and embarked on another fork in the road?So he has never taken it lightly, and has been trying to increase the centripetal force of the Central Plains to the Northeast.

These tasks have been done in a down-to-earth manner, with a clear conscience.Taking a step back, the Northeast will really be separated from China’s territory in the future like Vietnam. As long as immigration and assimilation are in place, from a national perspective, it will also broaden the living space of the nation and earn more land under the sun. Meaningful - all peoples rise and fall, that's obvious, but it's definitely easier to revive if there are rich land resources left by the ancestors.

On March [-]th, a total of [-] shares of Bohai Trading Co., Ltd. were publicly sold in Luoyang South City. However, after three days, there were many inquiries and few buyers.

On the evening of the [-]th, Shao Shude could only sigh when the news came back to Guanfeng Hall.

"I originally wanted to give the common people some benefits, let them earn some money, and share the dividends brought by Daxia's expansion of territory, but I don't know what to do." Shao Shude sipped his tea angrily, and asked suddenly: " I heard that two people each bought ten shares, one surnamed Xiao and one surnamed Gao, what happened?"

The women surrounded by Shao Shude had different expressions and did not speak.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Xiao Agu, the supervisor of Jiafang Administration, and Gao Chongnian, the guard, each bought ten shares." Wang Yanfan replied from the side.

"Oh?" Shao Shude was a little surprised when he heard the words. He looked at Yue Liduo first, saw her nodding, then pulled Gao Shi who was hiding behind the girls, and asked, "But you asked my brother to buy it?" of?"

"Yes." Gao's face was blushing, obviously a little embarrassed.

"Why did you ask him to buy it?" Shao Shude asked.

Mrs. Gao is from Bohai, so she is quite clear about her family's situation.Under Yue Liduo's persuasion, he also bought ten shares together and left them to his natal brothers.But she was embarrassed to say that, as it would appear greedy for money, so she could only say: "I heard that the shares in the trading company are not selling well, and it has something to do with the face of the Tian family, so..."

"Rou Niang, you care about me, right?" Shao Shude said happily.

"No!" Gao Shi subconsciously blurted out.

Immediately, he felt that this sentence was inappropriate and might annoy the sage, so he took a cautious look at Shao Shude and was relieved to see that he was not angry.

"You sent people to buy the shares, but they were not registered under the name of Da Chien Zhuan, nor under the name of Da Guangxian..." Shao Shude smiled meaningfully.

Gao almost buried her head in her chest, not daring to see anyone anymore.

Shao Shude laughed, knowing that this woman was thin-skinned and could not continue to tease her, so she said, "Go down and see the child."

Gao suddenly raised her head, surprise replaced shame.

As a mother, how can you not think about your children.Although it was born by a thief-stealer, after all, it was a piece of flesh that fell from her body after she was conceived in October. Gao has been thinking about it day and night.

"Go." Shao Shude patted the back of her hand, and emphasized again: "Our child."

Gao's face turned red again, and he hurriedly turned around and slipped away.

Shao Shude's eyes lingered on her for a long time, until he disappeared far away at the end of the corridor, and then he came back to his senses.

Sooner or later, she will die on this woman's belly.

Bohai sent only a queen without a single soldier, and killed the emperor of the great country in the Central Plains.Shao Shude shook off this unlucky thought, hugged the bodhisattva slave in his arms, caressed him, and sighed: "The people in Luoyang usually talk like a river, but in the end they are not as knowledgeable as the Khitan and Bohai people. I am so disappointed. "

Bodhisattva Slave was already slightly plump, but now she is pregnant again, full of sensuality, Shao Shude is very comfortable to hold.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry." Yue Liduo gently kneaded his shoulders and said, "When Bohai Trading Company earns more and more money, everyone will know. If we plan to build Annan Trading Company in the future, we will definitely be rejected. Sold out."

Shao Shude nodded.

Taking out 10% of the shares of Bohai Trading Company for public sale is actually his remaining modern consciousness at work.

According to the normal situation, it is impossible for these one hundred shares to flow outside, and they have already been digested inside.The reason why he persisted in doing so was that Shao Shude wanted the common people to share in the dividends of the expansion of the empire?Could it be that you really need that little money?
Just wait and see, this one doesn't sell well.When Bohai Commercial Co., Ltd. continues to make stable profits and prepares to build Annan Commercial Co., Ltd. next time, some people will suggest not to offer shares to the public, and all the nobles have subscribed.

But he will still take part to sell.It has nothing to do with other things, it is simply to let people who have no connections have the opportunity to share the benefits, causing greater repercussions in society, and letting ordinary people with a little knowledge know that even if a place is far away from the border, it is possible to make money. Give up lightly.

******
There was no scientific examination in March this year, and the scholars who had wandered around the capital scattered like birds and beasts and returned home early.

Once they left, they really lost a lot of consumption, especially for the brothel industry.

Don't prostitute, are you still a scholar?Still a flair?
Another batch of consumer groups who have left are Wufu.

Yes, a new round of defense changes for each army has begun.

You Guojun entered Shu to replace the Jinglue Army.

The Tiande Army and the Heiji Army went to Hebei.

The three armies of Wuwei, Tianxiong, and Dingnan were transferred eastward, and went to Liaodong Road to replace the four armies of Yicong, Tujiang, Tieqi, and Weisheng, and returned to rest.

The Tianxiong Army is stationed in Henan Province, and half of the Yi Cong Army is also in Henan Province. This has reduced [-] to [-] consumer groups, and the impact on business is not small.Who made Wu Fu like to spend money?

Shao Shude didn't care much about the merchant's feelings, what he cared about was counting and counting, and found out that there was a shortage of troops!
To be precise, there is a shortage of reliable troops.

There are more than 30 forbidden troops in Daxia, which is actually not enough. I am afraid that no one will believe it.

But the fact is that the country is too big, and people in many places are dishonest, and the forbidden army must be stationed to suppress it.

In fact, to a certain extent, it is also Shao Shude's own fault. Who made you swallow so much land?
In this way, it continued until the beginning of April, when Ma Yin entered Beijing, Shao Shude immediately summoned him in Lichun Hall.

Ma Yin is also 60 years old this year.

Looking at this man who was almost at the same time as him, Shao Shude seemed to be reminiscing about the past.

Ma Yin sat down calmly, neither feeling restrained nor presumptuous, very decent.

"Why did Ma Qing teach me about Hunan?" Shao Shude asked.

"Your Majesty, Hunan accepts people from the north and the south to escape the war. The household registration has increased greatly in the past 30 years, but there are still many barbarians in the local area. The Lei brothers in Langzhou are an example." Ma Yin thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty I have ruled Hunan for many years, and I have also suppressed many Dongman rebellions, and now I have only one policy."

"I'm listening." Shao Shude signaled him not to be tricky.

"It's true for the people who moved to the north. When the northerners go south, they occupy an extra piece of land, and the Dongman loses a piece of land. Under the changing conditions, the strength of the Dongman declines greatly, and they can be registered as households." Ma Yin said. .

"It's almost the same as what I thought." Shao Shude praised: "Ma Qing is a sensible person."

In fact, it's not just the Lei brothers who are savages?The former governor of Jizhou, Peng Gan, was also from Dongman, but his Sinicization was quite deep.There are also many barbarian chiefs serving as officials in Jizhou. One county official Peng Gan once dealt with was a barbarian chief.

The towns in the south are really underdeveloped.In 280 years before the Tang Dynasty, it took a lot of effort to drain the swamps in the south of the Yangtze River, open up farmland from the sludge and bushes, and redevelop Jiangxi.But it has been ten years since the Tang Dynasty perished, and there are still many barbarian chieftains in Jiangxi—fortunately, they are quite sinicized, such as Peng Gan. If no one mentions it, who doesn’t think he is a Han Chinese?
Not to mention the land of two lakes.Looking through the history books, there are barbarians everywhere in Ezhou (Wuhan), Yuezhou (Yueyang), and Langzhou (Changde).Eyue is like this, and one can imagine what Hunan is like in the south.

The land of the two lakes was truly developed and matured until the Southern Song Dynasty.

The colonization of foreigners is to chew off a small piece first, and then chew on the next piece after digestion.

The Chinese colonization is to "check in here for a visit" first, circle it on the map, and then spend 2000 years digesting it step by step.

Do people like Man Liao in Lizhou and Yazhou in central Sichuan consider themselves Tang or Xia people?Obviously not.They more agree that they are Nanzhao people, although they accepted the canonization of the Tang court politically, hereditary native officials.

The south is a large piece of virgin land!There are a large number of barbarians, from Qin to Han, and then to Tang and Xia, they are all looking after themselves.Han people and Sinicized barbarians killed officials and fought for power and profit. They turned a blind eye and tried to be a little transparent until the wave of reforming the land and returning to the locals hit them.

"Since Ma Qing has entered the court, let's settle down in Luoyang." Shao Shude said, "I keep my word, and I won't bring up old accounts, so I can rest assured."

"Your Majesty's mind is rare in the world, and I admire you." Ma Yin looked at the younger emperor in front of him, feeling boundless in his heart.

When the two started their careers, their status was similar, and Ma Yin was higher because he was a general of the Fengguo Army.Reluctantly following the wrong person, and being hit hard by the court, it can be said that he was killed by the last breath of royal anger in the former Tang Dynasty.

Shao Shude, on the other hand, stood on the side of the imperial court and developed silently. In the end, he became successful and unified the world step by step.

What else is there to say?

After Ma Yin stepped back, Shao Shude thought for a while.

He already knew about the situation in Hunan.Generally speaking, the internal unity is relatively good, which is not only a bad thing, because it is easy to form a small group, but it is also a good thing. As long as Ma Yin is still alive and living a good life, the Hunan descendants have no reason to rebel.

After ten or eight years, the surrendered troops in Hunan had been dispersed, and small political groups had also developed in different geographical circles, gradually becoming unfamiliar, and Ma Yin's influence collapsed.

Of course, Shao Shude will not be ready to kill the donkey.This political credibility is still there.

He just thinks that it is not easy to conquer the world, but it is also not easy to rule the world.It's not easy especially in this fucking age.

Reconnecting with my own age, I feel something in my heart, that's all.
