The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 859
Huang Han stated on the spot that the rubber plantation exists in the form of a shareholding system, and plans to raise 300 million silver coins as start-up capital, and when additional investment is needed in the later stage, it depends on the situation.

One silver dollar per share, 30 yuan invested by myself, accounting for [-]% of the total share capital, and the remaining shares are encouraged to subscribe by civilians, military generals and soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" system.

The initial investment of 300 million taels of silver should be able to meet the needs. After all, the Qiongzhou Mansion of the Ming Dynasty is incomparable with the Hainan Province of the later generations. It is a remote place, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as a backcountry.

It can be seen that Hainan Island was a place where criminal officials and criminals were exiled in the Song and Ming dynasties.

Buying and embezzling hundreds of thousands of acres of land suitable for planting rubber trees, and employing 300 villagers to manage it for six to seven years, [-] million taels of silver is not far behind.

Seeing Huang Han revealing the specific investment amount, Hanzi immediately declared to subscribe for [-] shares, Song Pengfei subscribed for [-] shares on the spot, and the rest of the "Red Banner Army" senior generals promised to subscribe for ranging from [-] to [-] shares.

Liang Tingdong saved a lot of money when he was a high-ranking official in Ming Dynasty, and called out to subscribe for [-] yuan. Zhang Fengyi’s family’s money was not as much as Liang Tingdong’s subscription for [-] yuan. Because Wu Xiang participated in the investment of whaling ships, he had limited cash in hand, so he subscribed in a high-profile manner. fifty thousand.

The final statistical results were very good. The investment amount of the "Red Banner Army" members present already exceeded 120 million silver coins.

It can be seen that the first batch of funds needed to invest in rubber plantations is enough to sell shares only to the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army".

Seeing that his subordinates trusted him so much, Huang Han made a promise that actually violated the securities law of later generations, and did not allow the civil servants and generals present to invest more.

Huang Han smiled and promised that in a period of ten years, the shares subscribed by everyone should be able to rise to five or even higher than ten silver coins per share.

This is the advantage of the Prophet. Rubber is a new thing. Huang Han generally understands vulcanization of rubber. As long as he gives the golden finger of vulcanization, "Hanjiang University" can develop cooked rubber that is not sticky and not easy to break in a short period of time.

Ripe rubber is a widely used industrial raw material. With this product, rubber tires, rubber hoses, tapes, rubber shoes and other good things can come out nearly 200 years in advance. The market is so big!

The "Red Banner Army" exclusively owns the technology and raw materials of vulcanized rubber. Of course, it has pricing power, and it is foreseeable to obtain huge profits. The planting of rubber trees in Hainan Island has been proven by history, and there is no possibility of investment failure.

It is more conducive to unity and increase cohesion to allow civil servants and generals in the system to enjoy the high returns brought by investing in rubber plantations.

The generals of the "Red Banner Army" were overjoyed to hear the owner say that investing in rubber plantations could yield such a large profit. Most of them had no concept of making big money, and they did their best to respond to the owner's call.

However, Liang Tingdong and Wu Xiang regretted it a lot. The money their family could provide was much more than that, because they did not participate in all the investments with caution.

Now that I know that it can be multiplied by at least five times in ten years, it is of course a pity that I have lost more than half of the money that was at my fingertips.

Next, everyone discussed how to incorporate Qiongzhou Prefecture into the "Red Banner Army" system. The strategy of not sending troops to attack was the consensus of everyone including Huang Han. Negotiation, replacement, contracting, renting, etc. can be tried.

Zhang Fengyi has some insights into one of the strategies of leasing. He thinks that since Daming can lease Macau to the Portuguese, why can't he lease Hainan Island to the "King of Han River"?
What's more, the "Red Banner Army" is to plant a brand-new economic crop, rubber trees, which can provide at least [-] job opportunities at the moment.

In the future, the formation of an industrial chain can solve the employment of more than 50 people. Such a good thing that benefits the country and the people, how can there be no reason to talk about it?

Zhang Fengyi is full of confidence, and it depends on man's efforts. Going to the capital to negotiate with the princes and the emperor should be able to get a satisfactory result.

Huang Han didn't think of using force to seize Hainan Island at all, but he could consider creating a fact when the court disagreed with life and death with the "Red Banner Army" in Qiongzhou Prefecture.

The method is very simple, intimidating and buying local officers, recruiting the garrison, and operating the "Red Banner Army" generals to serve as regiment training chief officers and intermediate guard officers.

As long as one or two thousand "Red Banner Army" intervenes in the Hainan Island garrison, within a year, these garrisons will be assimilated and become vassals of the "Red Banner Army".

The "King of the Hanjiang River" is in full swing, and the civilian and military generals of the Ming Dynasty have no way out if they want to curry favor.

It won't be too difficult to instigate the officials of the Qiongzhou government. It doesn't matter if you encounter smelly and hard ones occasionally, as long as he can really do things, I'm sorry if he's just a troll. His salary will be cut off and he will be thrown to plant trees in the rubber garden. Let him earn monthly money through labor to support his family.

Under normal circumstances, those who like to speak out are not afraid of being beaten to death by the imperial staff, nor are they afraid of being decapitated for their words.

Huang Han adopted the method of receiving re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants to deal with the scholar-bureaucrats who "didn't talk about their nature at ordinary times", which not only promoted humanitarianism, but also had a good educational effect.

At the end of August, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng, Han Daxun, Pei Guozhen, Chen Bangxuan, and more than [-] former Liaodong Ming army generals, including Zhang Fengyi, Sun Yuanhua, Liang Tingdong, Wu Xiang and other high-ranking officials, escorted them to the capital.

Although the traitor surrendered to Wang Zu Dashou, even if he was hanged, he could not be buried in peace. His head was sent to the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty together with the heads of more than a dozen traitor generals who died in the rebellion, including Sun Dingliao.

Among the meritorious personnel who regained Jinzhou, Sun Yuanhua ranked in the forefront. That is because the infantry coordination was remarkable when attacking the Qing army's Tashan and Songshan defense lines in the early stage.

Huang Han deliberately asked Sun Yuanhua to go to the capital again, with the intention of becoming a rich man, and also the idea of ​​letting Sun Yuanhua interpret the realistic version of "resurrection".

Another purpose is to let Sun Yuanhua be promoted again and be appointed as the governor of Liaodong by the imperial court, so that the civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty will feel the real benefits brought by following the "King of the Hanjiang County".

It is equivalent to coercing Chongzhen to give the title of "King of Hanjiang County", so that the civil servants and generals of the "Red Banner Army" system can clearly see the imperial court's external strength and middle performance.

This time, Liang Tingdong and Zhang Fengyi will ask the court to add officials to Huang Han again, aiming for the title of "King of Han".

Originally, there was a King of Han in Ming Dynasty. He was Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of Zhu Di, Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty. He was murdered by Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty, because of treason.

Zhang Fengyi, Wu Xiang, etc. actually did not want Huang Han to be conferred the title of "King of Han" when he entered the feudal lord, they thought it was too unlucky.

Huang Han doesn't matter at all, there are so many Han kings, Jin Dynasty, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Liao Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, and so on. The most famous one is of course Liu Bang, the great ancestor of Han Dynasty.
