Chapter 532 Looking Ahead
There is never a shortage of smart people in the world, especially for the high-level people in Ningchu. When they appeared on the stock exchange, they were very keenly aware of the potential behind it. Among them, risk sharing is second, and the most important thing is This effect is even more admirable for the enlargement of the scale of wealth.

In a simple sentence, the scale of wealth that Qian’s Chamber of Commerce can mobilize in the process of engaging in trade with Japan can be intuitively represented by the number of ships. The larger the fleet, the greater the wealth , but the wealth Qian can mobilize is limited, and the ships he can mobilize are also very limited.

However, after the stock exchange is enlarged, countless free private funds can enter the stock exchange and become the stocks of Qian's Chamber of Commerce, and then reach the accounts of Qian's merchants. In this way, Chairman Qian can mobilize ten times or even a hundred times The scale of wealth can build more ships and earn more profits, thus boosting the stock of Qian's Chamber of Commerce to rise further, and the shareholders who have made money will naturally buy or hold stocks further .

Therefore, in this environment, any big family that has no suitable projects but has a lot of funds will choose to select a few projects with great investment potential and make large-scale investments. Among them, Cui Yu, the president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, is in Large customers who select projects in the exchange.

On the top floor of the stock exchange, Cui Yu looked at the vast number of sentient beings downstairs with a smile on his face, and a smile appeared on his face, and said: "The Financial Department of the Ministry of Finance can develop to the point where it is today. Director Wang is really impressive. Impressed."

Wang Youdun, deputy director of the Finance Department of the Ministry of Finance, also had a smile on his face. He was among the top five in the first imperial examination, and he was as famous as Peng Qifeng, Wu Jingzi, and Liu Tongxun. Wu Jingzi and Wu Jingzi, who worked in a company run by the Executive Yuan, seemed a little low-key, and even Liu Tongxun, who was working in a local area, had a much greater reputation than Wang Youdun.

Therefore, to the world, Wang Youdun is much inferior to his classmates, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he seized the opportunity. After hanging out in the Ministry of Finance for a period of time, he resolutely joined the newly established Finance Department. And with the help of Ernst, the stock exchange in front of him was opened.

You know, Wang Youdun didn't understand anything at the beginning, so he had to humbly ask Ernst and other Westerners for advice, and even used the materials of the stock exchange opened in the Netherlands to learn. It was the smooth opening of the Nanjing Stock Exchange that also made Wang Youdun a half-expert.

"President Cui is really overrated. Wang just did some things that should be done, and he has lived up to His Majesty's high expectations." The more excited Wang Youdun was, the calmer his face became.

Cui Yu looked at Wang Youdun in front of him with admiration, and said with a smile: "Do well, Your Majesty still attaches great importance to the stock exchange. As long as you make achievements, it will not be particularly difficult to join the cabinet in the future."

"Joining the cabinet. How can you be a lower official?" Wang Youdun's heart skipped a beat, but he seemed a lot more nervous. After all, for officials all over the world, who wouldn't want to enter the cabinet as the last chief assistant?
In the current civil service system of Ningchu, although many parts have the shadow of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they are obviously very different. Among them, the qualifications for joining the cabinet do not need the qualifications of Hanlin background like the Ming Dynasty. Simply put He said that as long as he has profound grassroots work experience and certain work in the central ministry and cabinet, he is eligible to become a candidate for the cabinet.

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Youdun to imagine that far away at present. After all, if he wants to join the cabinet, he has to experience at least two positions in two local divisions and one ministerial secretary, otherwise he will not even be qualified at all.According to Ningchu's current official system, it will take at least 12 to 15 years for these three officials to be appointed.

Calculated according to the fullness of the exams, a term of two local officials or ministerial officials usually takes one exam every two years, and three exams are full. The normal logic of promotion takes six years. However, because the full score of the exam is upper, middle, and lower, If you get the first class three times, you can subtract two years, that is, you can only be transferred once in four years. If you only get the upper class once or the middle class three times, then you can only count according to the original six years. They are all inferior, so I have to congratulate my brother for being laid off and re-employing.

That's right, if you fail to meet the standards after completing the three exams, there is no way to be demoted. There is only one way to go, and that is to be dismissed. Starting from the ninth grade.

Therefore, being an official in Ning Chu is easy or not easy. Everyone can become an official from the beginning of the talent test, but it is not so easy to upgrade. When you become an official, you should do something else instead of harming the common people.

At present, Wang Youdun is only a deputy director-level official of the Ministry of Cabinet. He is still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the position of the first assistant, but it will take at least two or thirty years of research.

Cui Yu smiled and said: "Director Wang is indeed self-effacing. Although your friends from the same department have a longer journey than you, but in the whole official career, hehe, it is actually nothing. The next 20 years The four cabinet ministers within the year have little to do with you, but after 20 years, if there are no other accidents, the cabinet ministers may be selected from among you, and Director Wang still has a good chance."

Wang Youdun pursed his lips lightly, finally stopped his inner reverie, and just said with a smile: "President Cui came here today, probably not for Wang's future."

"Of course not. Cui came here because he wants to invest." When Cui Yu talked about his reason for coming, his face became more serious.

Wang Youdun was a little curious, "I don't know which stocks President Cui wants to invest in? Today, the presidents of major chambers of commerce are here, as well as the shopkeepers of Northeast Resource Development Co., Ltd., Myanmar Resource Development Co., Ltd., and North Korean Resource Development Co., Ltd., basically Since we’re all here, why don’t we invite them to have a chat?”

"That's right, Cui is here this time to invest in all the companies."

"This"

Cui Yu smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty entrusted the Royal Chamber of Commerce to Cui, not to let Cui be the overlord. In fact, this is also His Majesty's order. Every chamber of commerce will vote, but not many, probably A tenth of the shares would be fine, mainly to unite the major chambers of commerce.”

"So that's the case, Your Majesty is really far-sighted!" Wang Youdun said with a slight smile on his face, cupping his hands towards the sky.

Fengtian Hall, the Grand Court Meeting, bursts of fragrance came from the heater, and the whole hall was filled with warmth.

Hundreds of Ningchu officials stood in two rows in the Fengtian Hall, looking solemnly at Ning Yu, who was sitting on the dragon chair above, and bowed to each other. It was not easy for them to see the emperor right now, after all, the emperor had to travel between the north and the south frequently. It's all messed up, and even the Great Court Meeting has become held from time to time.

Of course, the real matters to be discussed are basically discussed at the small court meeting and the joint cabinet meeting. The convening of the grand court meeting is just a walk-through process. It seems that there are many people, but it is not that important.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, foreign minister Wu Wai has met His Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."

Among the two rows of ministers standing, there is a man kneeling. He is wearing the official clothes of the former Ming Dynasty. He looks very rude. It is not so much a minister as a pig butcher. .

In fact, Wu Wai was indeed a butcher before the rebellion. He joined Zhu Yigui with his eldest brother Huang Dian, and later raised troops against the Qing Dynasty. Now he has become a minister of Zhu Yigui's small court. Sent by Huang Dian, he requested to attach it.

"Zhu Yigui wants to enclose the news, but is it true?" Ning Yu looked at Wu Wai aggressively.

Wu Wai immediately became a little nervous, and he said in a low voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, that's exactly the case. King Zhongxing and General Huang believe that Your Majesty is the one who deserves his name from heaven. Now that he has completed the great cause of expelling the Tartars, he should be attached to the imperial court. I also ask Your Majesty for your permission."

Ning Yu chuckled, "Of course there is no reason why this matter is not allowed, but I also understand that King Zhongxing's attachment at this time is not a willing move. If I regret it again in the future, I will be very difficult to deal with."

"This." Wu Wai hesitated for a moment. If Zhu Yigui was determined to be attached, let alone the emperor would not believe him, Wu Wai would be the first to not believe it. Wouldn't it be a disaster?
"Since you want to be attached, why do you repeat it again and again now? Could it be that you are deceiving me and no one?"

The chief assistant Cui Wancai stood up and reprimanded him coldly. He cupped his hands towards Ning Yu and said, "Your Majesty, Zhu Yigui is a loyal person. If you will regret it tomorrow, why don't you send a general to lead the army to defeat him?" , so as to completely resolve future troubles.”

"No. Back to Your Majesty, the King of Zhongxing has absolutely no reason to go back on his word. Since he wants to be attached, he must be attached, but there is a small request." Wu Wai looked a little worried.

"What's the request? Let's hear it."

"The Dutch intercepted and killed our merchant ship in Malacca, please Your Majesty send an army to seek peace." Wu Wai said it in a hurry, but after he finished speaking, he looked at the emperor secretly, but when he realized that Ning Yu's eyes were about to look at him, he hurriedly bowed his head.

Ning Yu sneered in his heart, what intercepted the merchant ship?Was it because Zhu Yigui wanted to leave this mess to me?If I send a large army unable to win over the Pinghe people, what face will I have to take back Taiwan?If it is really going to be leveled, it means that taking Taiwan is not a problem, and he, Zhu Yigui, will also get a good death by then.

It has to be said that none of these fighters is simple, even Liu Ruhan wanted to use Ning Yu's hand to do his own thing back then, but Ning Yu backhanded him to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot.

"I know what Zhu Yigui is thinking, but I agree with this matter."

Ning Yu nodded in response, and then said with a sneer: "However, I also want to tell the envoy, go back and play clearly with Zhu Yigui, I didn't agree because I wanted him to be attached, but because I wanted to beat the Dutch people, even if I didn't With his incident, Nanyang can't let the Dutch people show off their power!"

"Yes, the foreign minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's will." A lot of cold sweat suddenly flowed down Wu Wai's face. In front of the current holy king, there must be no one who would not be trembling.

After the Great Court Meeting was over, Ning Yu, accompanied by Cui Wancai, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and others, went to the Privy Council located on the west side of the cabinet, and saw that the deputy director of the General Staff Department, Yu Zhijing, had been waiting for a long time, and the other person was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Qiu Ze, Minister of the Navy, and behind them are senior officials of the Privy Council.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Under the guidance of the members of the Privy Council, Ning Yu walked towards the battle planning room, and smiled while walking: "I remember that I came to the Privy Council a few days ago, it seems that there are not so many people."

Uji Jingjin said: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council and the Central Military Academy have reached a training agreement to select a group of outstanding staff officers from the Staff Department of the Army Military Academy for internships in the Privy Council. Wait until the three-month internship period is over. , and will be sent back at that time."

Ning Yu nodded and said: "They are all fresh blood of our army, they must be cultivated well, and the staff system in the future will only become more and more perfect."

Yu Zhijing couldn't help being overjoyed immediately, and said: "With your Majesty's words, I have more confidence in my minister, and I will fully implement the staff system in the future cough cough."

"Call the imperial doctor quickly."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Immediately, someone from the attendant room came out and walked quickly towards the outside of the Privy Council. Generally speaking, every time the emperor travels, there are at least two imperial doctors accompanying him to prevent any accidents.

Fortunately, this time Ning Yu was followed by Ye Tianshi, a doctor from the Imperial Hospital, who can be regarded as the number one doctor in Dachu today, so Ning Yu was not particularly worried.

After Ye Tianshi hurried into the Privy Council, he soon saw Ning Yu who was calm and composed, and he was slightly relieved at the moment, no matter what, as long as there is no problem with the emperor, he will be fine. He sighed deeply again.

"Your Majesty, General Yu's body is an old problem. If you want to cure General Yu's body, you must let him leave the army. From then on, you can't bother yourself. Otherwise, even the old man will only be unable to recover."

Ye Tianshi had a wry smile on his face, he was already very familiar with Uji King, and he knew his body well.

Ning Yu pondered for a while. Back then, Yu Zhijing was seriously injured in Jiujiang. Although he recovered from the injury later, but the roots were almost destroyed. Later, he was promoted to the Privy Council to stay away from the front-line combat troops. He recuperated well—but he didn't expect that it would be difficult for him to continue with the errands of the Privy Council alone.

Thinking of this, Ning Yu waved his hand and said, "In this case, let's give General Yu a long vacation—"

"Your Majesty, I'm fine, just a little old injury, and I don't deserve your majesty's care."

There was a wry smile on Uji Jing's face, he shook off the supporting hand around him, tried to stand up straight, and after a long sigh of relief, he regained his capable appearance.
