Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 673 Shares are distributed to the imperial court
The issue of the shareholding change of Sihai Commercial Bank was a major decision made by Zhu Youjian after a long time of consideration.

According to his plan, from the date of the shareholding change, the imperial court will occupy [-]% of the shares of most of the properties of the Universal Commercial Bank, and the remaining [-]% will still belong to the royal family.

This is only his preliminary idea. When the conditions are ripe in the future, the royal family's shares will be further reduced, and eventually it will only account for [-]% or [-]%.

But there is one industry in which Zhu Youjian has never thought of handing over the equity, and that is the current Sihai Bank and Bank, which is the embryonic form of the future bank.

Judging from the experience of later generations, the financial industry occupies an absolute dominant position in the economy and society, and the profits are extremely astonishing. With this industry in hand, the royal family will not lose the right to speak.

Of course, all of this must be based on the continuation of Zhu Ming. If Zhu Ming's court is overthrown for various reasons, all plans will be in vain.

Zhu Youjian intends to turn Sihai Commercial Bank into a state-owned enterprise for future generations, firmly grasp those strategic industries in the hands of the imperial court, invest the profits of state-owned enterprises in infrastructure and major livelihood projects, and benefit the people of Ming Dynasty while driving economic development The common people, so that they can enjoy more dividends of economic development.

The current bulk of infrastructure investment is the construction and improvement of water conservancy facilities in various places, the widening and leveling of official roads connecting various places, the renovation and renovation of streets in various cities, and the configuration, management and maintenance of public toilets in cities.

In addition, another major investment project is the establishment of public hospitals, the training of doctors and nurses, the salary and treatment after employment, the configuration of medicinal materials and equipment, etc.

All the above-mentioned projects need to spend a lot of money and consume a huge amount of food and materials. Judging from the current annual tax revenue of Taicang, it is far from enough.

Of course there is money in the internal funds, and Zhu Youjian will also spend a considerable part of it on investment, but this form cannot be used as a long-term mechanism. The dominant position in raising the people should be occupied by the imperial court, rather than being paid by each family.

The fundamental purpose of taxation is to improve the people's livelihood, to continuously improve the living standards of hundreds of millions of people, so that they can obtain more happiness.

This is also Zhu Youjian's original intention of trying every means to force the gentry to pay for food.

Because he wanted to see what his ideal Daming should look like as soon as possible, and for the benefit of the vast majority of people, a small number of vested interests should pay the corresponding price.

Since Prince Fu's Mansion was taken down and King De was demoted, Jin Yiwei from all over the country has successively sent relevant news about the vassal kings. Up to now, twelve vassal kings have been forced to accept the Suzerainty Reform Regulations, and the remaining There are still eleven vassals whose news has not been delivered.Zhu Youjian believes that the rest will not be able to resist for a long time. During the summer harvest this year, Taicang's income will skyrocket. After the preferential policy of three-year tax exemption expires, this phenomenon will happen again.

If the six-year exemption and reduction period for immigrants from Hubei and Hunan expires, the warehouses in Taicang may have to be rebuilt.

The harvest of the large fertile fields outside the customs will not increase much in a few years. Under the harsh climate, the progress of immigration work is much slower than that in the areas inside the customs.

The first batch of Shandong immigrants who arrived outside the customs, their main task was not to open up wasteland and farm. The first thing they had to do was to build a large number of houses in the places designated by the government for the use of subsequent immigrants. This work is long-term Yes, ultimately it depends on the overall number of immigrants.

Sihai Liquor Co., Ltd. has achieved good market response in its initial trial. After distributing a limited amount of high-strength baijiu to various places, the feedback is still very encouraging.

This kind of liquor with about forty degrees is especially popular in Jiangbei, especially in the bitter cold places outside the Great Wall.

According to the person in charge of Sihai Trading Company in charge of the transaction with the Mongolian tribes outside the Great Wall, after trying the pleasure brought by this new wine, the hundreds of jars of new wine transported over were snapped up by nobles from various Mongolian tribes, and during the rush-purchase process, there were The phenomenon of fighting.

In order to grab a new jar of wine, the Mongols who are as good as one person on weekdays fought each other. The scene was chaotic for a while. Finally, a small team of Ma Xianglin's officers and soldiers responsible for protecting the caravan fired their guns, and the chaotic situation ended. ended quickly.

In line with the business philosophy of no gain, no gain, the person in charge of the caravan conducted a public auction of this batch of new wine through bidding, and the result was also very gratifying.

One jar of new wine is exchanged for one horse, one calf, or two lambs. This price has been accepted by the generous Mongolian compatriots. The nobles expressed their dissatisfaction noisily.

After taking a sip of this new wine, the old manozi wine suddenly looks dull, and I don't even want to look at it again.

The person in charge of the caravan told the Mongolian compatriots frankly that the brewing process of this new wine is very complicated. More than a dozen people work in shifts day and night, and only five jars can be produced in one night. However, the brewing of these five jars of fine wine requires at least two stones Food, after all, the cost is too expensive.

Because there is not enough food in Ming Dynasty now, and many people are still hungry, so in the short term, new wine cannot be produced and sold in large quantities. You can enjoy good wine at the current price. The result of the Four Seas Commercial Bank's profit sharing.

The person in charge of the firm also told these Mongolian nobles wearing leather robes and exuding a pungent odor that tens of millions of people are vigorously opening up wasteland and farming in order to increase food production.

However, manpower is always not as good as animal power when opening up wasteland, so Mongolian compatriots need to raise more mules, horses and cattle, and then transport them into Serbia through commercial banks for the common people who are farming.

In this way, after a large amount of food is produced in a few years, Mongolian compatriots can not only get more food, but also enjoy more fine wine. Wu, what a happy time that should be, isn't that what life should be like?
The words of the person in charge of the firm shocked the Mongolian nobles with strong limbs and slightly developed minds.

Although they didn't fully believe what the businessman said, but according to the analysis of the proverbs handed down from generation to generation by their elders, the brewing of this new wine should indeed be very troublesome. Announcing with a smile like: There will be fine wines coming in a while, and everyone is welcome to buy them enthusiastically.

It seems that I spent too much money today.

I only bought five jars just now, and when I got back from the market, I kept two jars, oh no, three jars, and sold the other two jars to the further north to the Ministry of Yicihuo.

For the sake of being Mongolians, one jar of wine can be exchanged for two horses or one steer and four lambs.

　Thanks to the cake robber for the reward.
