Chapter 1543 The Ownership of Mingfeng Bank II

Mu Jing stood up, stood by the window, paced back and forth, and with the pace, his thoughts were also turning rapidly, but he was still at a loss what to do.

This is not a simple multiple choice question.

It doesn't mean that you can choose to let go or not let go.

Now he is the emperor.

The emperor of Ming Dynasty.

The person he is responsible for is no longer the Mu family, no longer a small group of people, but the people of the world, so he must maintain an image of selflessness.

It is the most ridiculous thing in the world that the emperor and the people compete for profit.

But he still has to consider, even if he is willing to let go, what kind of future will Mingfeng Bank go to in the end, whether it will lose its influence, or will it go to a higher level.

He has to think about it all.

I think he didn't think so much when he founded Mingfeng Bank. At that time, he actually didn't think about becoming the emperor, and it felt too far away.

"Kong Ming, I won't say those high-sounding words in front of you!" Mu Jing stopped, sighed, and said to Hu Zhao: "You want Mingfeng Bank, I know, it's not selfish, It's for the court, I don't blame you, but I don't say that you can defend casually, first of all, you have to understand one thing, even though you are the son of heaven, you are also the head of the family, the head of the clan, Mingfeng Bank It has been deeply involved with the royal family, and the royal family, and has been considered by many people to belong to the Mu family, if you hand it over rashly, I will feel sorry for the family I raised, and I will also feel sorry for the family!"

"Your Majesty, if it is something else, we can understand it, but Mingfeng Bank, I am afraid that His Majesty really needs to make some sacrifices, not because it is too valuable, but because it has too much influence and cannot be controlled by the court. , there will be troubles in the future, your majesty is wise and martial, and good at business, so it is possible to control such a huge wealth, but if you are an emperor in the future, without your majesty's control, this is a double-edged sword, for future peace, even if we Knowingly disobeying His Majesty, I am afraid I have to do it once!"

Hu Zhao cupped his hands, saluted slowly, and said deeply.

He also didn't want to weaken Mujing's imperial power at this time, and it couldn't be weakened either. Mujing was the founder of the country, with great talents and strategies, and he was good at controlling power.

But as the prime minister of Ming Dynasty and the prime minister of Zhaoming Pavilion, he must think about the future, and his vision should not be limited to the present.

There is only one chance.

If you don't do it now, Mingfeng Bank will be an endless topic of debate in the future, and it is also possible that it will cause turmoil at that time.

Mingfeng Bank is now the No. [-] merchant giant in the Ming Dynasty. No firm or business name can compare with Mingfeng Bank.

Mingfeng Bank has the right to exchange coins and issue Dahan Tongbao.

Before the Ming Dynasty belonged to the vassal states of the Han Dynasty, the Tongbao issued was the Dahan Tongbao. It is estimated that it will be too late to issue the Daming Tongbao this year, but it will definitely be issued next year.

If Mingfeng Bank has no ownership rights, it is still unknown whether Zhengshitang will choose to hand over Daming Tongbao to Mingfeng Bank for issuance next year.

Of course, even if he loses the right to issue currency, Mingfeng is still an unshakable behemoth.

Today, the world is in turmoil and the currency is in chaos. Only the Southwest and the Ming Dynasty have unified, and the issue of currency has been dealt with from the very beginning.

The issuance of Dahan Tongbao quickly replaced all the current currencies in the world, including the five baht coins issued during the Lingdi period, which have lost the market.

Don't say that in the southwest, even in the world, Dahan Tongbao is a currency with existence value.

As the only bank with distribution rights, Mingfeng Bank also expanded its influence all of a sudden by virtue of its distribution, and instantly won the approval of many people.

Mingfeng Bank also has a storage and loan business, which opened up some concepts of the bank, and instantly integrated the entire business world, and has a very good relationship with various commercial firms.

To put it bluntly, if the imperial court said that Mingfeng collapsed, the whole business would mourn for three days, and those who saved money and owed money would riot. The dignity of a businessman may be lost, but the interests of a businessman are not allowed to be ruled out. Trampling would really cause unrest.

Because of its huge influence, it is impossible for Zhaoming Pavilion to rest assured that Mingfeng Bank will be separated from the imperial court system and become a power vacuum.

Now that Mujing is in power, it doesn't matter, the Mingfeng bank under Mujing's management is better than any of them, and the current empress is even more cunning.

It's just that the emperor and the court always need to have checks and balances, and many things need to be prepared for a rainy day.

In this regard, Hu Zhao never thought that he was wrong.

Daming, since it has been established that the world is governed by law, even the Son of Heaven cannot travel outside of "Ming Ke" z, and must be included in it.

"That's right!"

Mu Jing also recognized Hu Zhao: "I also think that it is no problem to put Mingfeng Bank in the imperial court, but it doesn't have to be for the Zhengshitang, and if I give it, will the Zhengshitang be able to play around?"

He thought he would never use the knife of Mingfeng Bank, but it would be unrealistic for those people in the future to dissociate it from the power system.

Must be incorporated into the court system.

But how to belong, still have to be discussed.

Nor can it be confirmed in a day or two.

Mingfeng Bank has already involved too many interests, and if it moves, it must be earth-shattering, so there must be a perfect plan.

"Did Your Majesty underestimate the Zhengshitang, let alone the Zhengshitang, the Ministry of Households is enough to suppress the Mingfeng Bank!" Hu Zhao said confidently.

"If you are so capable, you don't need to play. Isn't he Liu Jin capable, but he was hit with a bloody head, if someone didn't show mercy, he would have to lose face to the whole world!"

Mu Jing glanced at Hu Zhao, and said indifferently.

Hu Zhao smiled wryly upon hearing this.

Liu Jin was still too impatient at the beginning, and was taught a lesson by Cai Yan. Although this matter was often only known within the court, some people in the business world must have known it clearly.

If word got out, Liu Jin, the Minister of Political Affairs who was in charge of the political affairs hall, second only to Mujing Hu Zhao, might really become the laughing stock of the world.

"Your Majesty, the empress should be the mother of the world, not..."

Hu Zhao thought for a while, and planned to find a breakthrough in the image of the characters.

Mu Jing rudely interrupted him: "Hu Kongming, when I am reasoning with you, you better be reasonable, otherwise you will break the bottom line and make me become unreasonable. I am afraid that you will cry!"

When Hu Zhao heard this, he fell silent for a while.

If they planned to attack the queen from this aspect, it would not be a slanted sword, but a little overstepping the bottom line, which would inevitably lead to a strong counterattack from Mujing.

Cai Yan was able to take charge of Mingfeng Bank, which was facilitated by Mu Jing, not only by allowing, but also by encouraging and confessing, Cai Yan is the strong woman he cultivated by himself.

However, in this era of women's humble status, Cai Yan's behavior will be punished by scholars. If it is not in line with etiquette, etiquette will inevitably stop it.

This is because Mu Jing has never been a person who pays attention to etiquette. What he wants to do, let alone Hu Zhao, even if Hu Zhao and Cai Yong are added, it will be difficult to stop him.

Everyone fights in the rules, so they can be evenly matched with Mu Jing, and the ministers can fight with the imperial power, but once the rules are broken.

Mujing's ferocity can really play them to death.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, I always believe that if Mingfeng Bank wants to have a future, it must form a new norm and establish a new system!"

Hu Zhao stepped back and planned to make a breakthrough internally.

Since they dared to put the playbook in front of Mujing, they were fully prepared.

Ever since Liu Jin lost to Cai Yan, breaking through from within has become an idea of ​​Liu Jin. In the past few years, he has been silent and has recruited many shopkeepers.

If a breakthrough is formed from within, then Cai Yan will be emptied.

However, Mu Jing thinks that they are taking it for granted. Reform is a keynote of the Ming court at present. They took Mu Jing's arrow and planned to reflect it back, and Mu Jing also recognized it.

But if you want to play a game of internal overhead, they may not be Cai Yan's opponent together.

But Mujing won't wake them up.

Just like his reform of the local system and the reform of the imperial court system, it was a real fight with live ammunition before it achieved results.

Similarly, if they want to subvert the current power of Mingfeng Bank, they must fight Cai Yan, unless they can pull Cai Yan from the throne of the big shopkeeper.

Otherwise, it would be more difficult to win Mingfeng.

And their chances won't be many.

Mu Jing tried his best to stabilize the New Deal in the past few years. Once the New Deal is stabilized, there must be a transition period, when Mu Jing will stop.

After they lost this shareholder power, if they still want to take action against Mingfeng Bank, it will take more manpower and material resources, and even cause both sides to suffer.

This is not something the court can afford, if in the end, the court is uneasy, maybe Mu Jing will kill a few people to calm the chaos.

They have more to lose.

"Kong Ming's words are correct, but I also have ideas!" Mu Jing smiled and said, "You want to reform the system and re-establish a set of operating teams. I don't object, but at least you have to show me that your people, For example, the shopkeepers of the current bank are more capable. Otherwise, Mingfeng, a bank that can conquer the world for the imperial court and add countless financial resources to pacify the country, will suddenly be messed up by you. Let us be in the middle of the war because of insufficient financial resources. As for defeat, let alone me, even the military might not let you go!"

Fighting wars is about national power. National strength is not just food and grass, but financial resources. With financial power, you can build more weapons and equipment. With financial power, you can buy more food and grass, and you can have more clothing and tents.

Mingfeng Bank ranks first among the contributions to Daming's financial resources. Not to mention other income, just paying taxes on the surface is an astronomical figure.

Daming treated the merchants well, but the commercial tax was raised a lot again and again. Every year, Mingfeng Bank contributes to the household department in various commercial taxes, which is unmatched by anyone.

This alone can't make Mingfeng Bank mess up.

"Your Majesty's instructions, I understand!" Hu Zhao took a deep breath, then cupped his hands, and asked, "Then what does Your Majesty think the Zhengshitang should do?"

His words are also very beautiful, he threw the ball back to Mujing, and it depends on how Mujing kicks it out, so that he can deal with it well.

Otherwise, Mujing would always hide it, and it would be difficult for him to do things.

"I don't care what the political affairs hall does!" Mu Jing said: "But if you want to ask how the court should respond, I can tell you. Everything is based on achievements. Whoever can contribute more to the court will have In terms of power, I will not favor anyone, in the court, in the world, I am the Son of Heaven, even if it is the queen, I will not favor anyone!"

His words were high-sounding, and there was no loophole in them, even though Hu Zhao knew clearly in his heart that Mu Jing was partial to the queen, he couldn't say it out.

Because so far, the empress has indeed done a good job. Most people chose to turn a blind eye to the matter of taking charge of the Mingfeng Bank, because they saw the value created by the empress.

In this world, after all, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the prosperity of the world is for profit.

Even if this era is harsh on women.

Even in this era, there is no way to allow women to do things in public.

There is no way to obliterate it. The Mingfeng Bank under the personal control of the empress has brought so many benefits to the court and brought so many opportunities to the common people.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to go to the court to discuss it!" Hu Zhao decided to use the last move.

"A court meeting?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Tingyi, Tingtui, is that he established a system according to the history of the Ming Dynasty. Tingtui is a voting meeting held only when officials above the ministerial level are elected. A court meeting will be held and a decision will be made by voting.

In fact, Mu Jing believes that the system of the Ming Dynasty in history is very close to the modern constitutional monarchy, but the Ming Dynasty became corrupt in the later period, so Mu Jing realized one thing, no matter how good the system is, it still depends on people.

But a good system is a good system. It can make power clearer and more transparent, which is a good thing. Power is most afraid of losing checks and balances. Sometimes I feel that I have been stared at by all eyes. Let the power not get out of control.

"I believe that this matter has involved the Ming system and has the intention of affecting the Ming Dynasty. It is difficult for one person to make a decision. Only by going to the court can a fair and just decision be made. There is no regret in success or failure!"

Hu Zhao kept his posture very low.

"Hu Zhao, sometimes you always remind me that my so-called restructuring is nothing more than a kind of cleverness!" Mu Jing suddenly sighed, looked at Hu Zhao, and said, "Even sometimes, I doubt Did I do something wrong? If you always talk and listen, you will be clear and you will be convinced, so I have been trying not to let myself enjoy the power alone. I am afraid that I will get lost in the power. I want to take this as a lesson, so I have always been unwilling to take power too seriously!"

His face turned cold, and he continued: "But you can always make me feel that I don't want to lose power!"

Imperial power and ministerial power collide all the time.

The rules he established himself.

But he was used by others to deal with him.

This feeling is particularly uncomfortable.
