Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 750 Daming Nanyang Development Co., Ltd. goes public!
Yes,

Li Shu in Nanyang can be rescued when the soldiers of Ming Dynasty arrive.

Thinking about Nanyang's resources, all the officials feel hot all over. It is duty-bound for Ming to save Nanyang's people.

Eunuch Wei sat on the side, drinking tea with a smile. He didn't care about Nanyang people or Dutch people. He only knew that the royal family's property would increase again, and that was enough.

As for how to do it, there is Master Zhang, what does he worry about.

"This is the imperial court's plan, please take a look." Qian Qianyi took out another document.

This plan called "Daming Nanyang Development Plan" pointed out the meaning of the imperial court in great detail, with the imperial court as the mainstay and the private sector as the supplementary, to jointly establish a company dedicated to the development of Nanyang.

This company will replace the imperial court to develop Nanyang, and private capital can flow into the development. This company is the embodiment of the imperial court's strength in Nanyang.

The imperial court dominates, so naturally it will not treat the big guys badly. It clearly states that Nanyang Company is a joint-stock company, of which the imperial court accounts for [-]% of the shares, merchants and gentry account for [-]%, and ordinary people account for [-]%. Everyone has a bright future.

"Eunuch Wei, Your Majesty takes [-]% of the [-]% that the imperial court occupies, and the remaining [-]% belongs to the imperial court." Qian Qianyi explained to Eunuch Wei deliberately.

Eunuch Wei still had a smile on his face: "Yeah, I understand."

Four percent!

That's a lot!

Lu Xiangsheng said slowly: "Forty percent of the miles, the household department accounts for [-] percent."

Nobody objected to this point. After all, the Ministry of Accounts paid the bulk of the money, and it was appropriate for them to account for half.

Qian Qianyi continued: "The remaining [-]% ​​is shared between us and the military. How to pay and how much to take is up to everyone to discuss."

Everyone nodded again to express their approval. After all, they were not fighting on their own. The new army was going to fight, so it was normal to divide them up.

As for how much I can get in the end, these big guys who have reached the level of second-rank ministers and third-rank servants are not worried at all. After all, no matter how little they get, it is still a stable profit. They are all supporting, and this money is absolutely indispensable.

Although it is strictly forbidden for the direct relatives of officials to engage in business, in the final analysis, in the past dynasties, merchants have few backers, and it is definitely a piece of fat.

So it is normal for such big merchants to have someone backing them. Zhang Haogu also knows the truth that when water is clear, there will be no fish. It is normal for merchants to behave like this. Backing doesn't matter, as long as they don't mess around.

But tax evasion and oppression of the people, the Ming Law will let you know what the strictness of the law is.

After setting the tone, Qian Qianyi, as the host of the Great Ming Nanyang Exploitation Conference, continued: "Nanyang has a vast territory and many islands, and the Hongyi people have a large number of colonies there. Regarding how to use these lands after they are conquered, there are currently so many Several directions."

"One, it is the same as the Hongyi people. After we occupied these colonies, we continued to colonize them and built them into our overseas extension, as a bridgehead for subsequent operations against the West and a hub for trade and transportation."

"Second, according to the usual practice, let the local people govern themselves. The imperial court will not interfere with their people's livelihood and politics, and let them develop. We only focus on trade here."

"Third, completely integrate these places into Wanghua, and form prefectures and counties that are the same as those in Daming for governance."

The three directions have different emphases.

The six ministers, the ministers of each department, the core officials of the Ming Dynasty, the real talent elites, thought about it one by one.

In fact, the advantages and disadvantages of these plans are clear at a glance, but when it comes to the position of Zheng Sanpin, any speech needs to be cautious, and you must consider many steps and consider the situation of your entire faction.

Whether it is a colony, a free trade territory or a Daming prefecture, all have their advantages and disadvantages, and the funds invested naturally cannot be generalized.

Soon, Qian Longxi, the minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing, expressed his thoughts: "You elders and ministers, the humble officials think that whether it is colonizing like the Hongyi people or being included in the Wanghua, it is not suitable for the current Ming Dynasty. .”

Zhang Haogu nodded slightly: "Continue."

Qian Longxi sorted out his thoughts: "First, it is precisely in these places that the Hongyi people expropriate and extort money, ignoring the sufferings of the local people. This has led to frequent disputes, and it has even made the Nanyang countries hate them."

"My Daming is the suzerain of the Shang Kingdom, and the Nanyang countries are my vassals of the Ming Dynasty. As the suzerain, it is unrighteous to oppress the vassals. It is unkind to expropriate and extort money regardless of the suffering of the local people. Such actions, my Ming Dynasty must not do." , otherwise it will inevitably lead to a gap between the hearts of the Nanyang countries, and then they will be separated from our Ming Dynasty."

"Besides, if the people in places like Nanyang rebel, how many masters will I have to send to suppress it? How much money will it cost? I can't kill all the local people, right? Then what's the point of my Ming occupying this place?"

These words caused everyone to nod their heads in agreement.

Indeed, the big guy only wanted to go because there were enough manpower and abundant resources in the local area. The local people were extinct, and it would be too troublesome to immigrate from the local area.

What's more, bullying the natives is not the same thing as bullying the people of Ming Dynasty.

Seeing the approval of the crowd, Qian Longxi continued: "But to turn him into a king and set up prefectures and counties, I think it's even more unacceptable for a lowly official!"

"Nowadays, my Ming Dynasty promotes industrialization. Half of the 24 provinces in the two capitals have not developed yet, and we have to invest heavily overseas. Are the people of our Ming Dynasty less important than those barbarians overseas? What should the people of the world think? To develop overseas, at least we must wait for the local development to reach a certain level.”

"Right now, my Ming Dynasty is just on the right track, and some people are even barely full."

Everyone nodded again, spending their own money to help others develop?

Who wants to!

It is said that overseas are all Han people and Ming people. This is one of the reasons of the Ming court. No one knows that those people overseas, even if they have Chinese descendants, were just exiled to seek refuge early. They all ran away. Treat them as your own?

Even if it is one of our own, why not help us?

Don't the people in the southern countries need to develop?

So don't the people in the southwest and northwest need to develop?

Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. This is exactly the case. If you really want to use money to develop overseas, there will be absolute public opinion among the people.

What's more, the big guys are there to make money, not to do good deeds. From the beginning of the founding of the country to the present, everything that Daming does is for the benefit of Daming. Using your own interests to help outsiders depends on what you can bring.

The land of Nanyang is certainly good, but right now it is really not worthwhile for the imperial court to develop it as a local land, which will undoubtedly greatly hinder the progress of Ming Dynasty.

After all, he regarded him as one of his own, and spending money on various policies was a bottomless pit.

Seeing everyone's feedback, Qian Longxi already had a solid idea in his mind. He stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Therefore, I think it's better to let him be self-governing. My Daming just needs to invest in the sidelines and protect our own interests."

Zhang Haogu, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhang Ruitu, Qian Qianyi, Huang Liji, and Qiao Yunsheng looked at each other and nodded.

Qian Qianyi even smiled and said, "Master Qian, continue."

Qian Longxi said: "The humble official thinks that Da Ming's assistance to Nanyang is a royal act, and one should not try to seek Nanyang's land; however, Wang Shi helped the Nanyang countries to wipe out foreign enemies, and the Nanyang countries should provide Wang Shi with help. "

"For example, the people of our Ming Dynasty should have privileges in the local area. As long as what we do does not violate the law, the local area should not stop it. For example, our Ming Dynasty can give priority to mining Nanyang's minerals, lease Nanyang's plantations, and hire Nanyang's people."

"I, Ming Dynasty, can help Nanyang develop, but only to help them develop. The imperial court should not care about how they develop. What the imperial court cares about is whether their development can bring benefits to the imperial court."

"For this, the imperial court can send gentlemen to teach them how to read and write, let them know Chinese characters and arithmetic, so that they can better serve Daming; Nanyang has become my overseas factory in Daming, and I support the exploration of the West nearby."

"In short, the imperial court did not take the initiative to participate, but guided from the sidelines, and developed in Nanyang with a posture of staying out of the matter."

After these words were finished, the officials fell silent.

After a while, all the officials recognized Qian Longxi's plan: "It's feasible."

"The words of Qian Shilang are old-fashioned to seek the country."

"Da Ming should really stay out of it. The more detached, the more active he will be."

"Extremely extreme. Our investment is for Daming, for development. To achieve these things is the right thing to do."

"With this calculation, the imperial court's investment will be reduced, and the profits will be more secure."

"My Ming Dynasty belongs to the Shang Kingdom, so I can't act like the barbarians in Taixi. It's reasonable to develop like this."

Seeing that all the officials agreed, Zhang Haogu also said: "The cabinet also agrees with Qian Shilang's words."

"The financing plan can be started."

"Everyone go back and inform the provincial governments to be prepared. The financing and listing plan of Nanyang Company will be carried out in Tianjin and Songjiang at the same time."

After all the officials had dispersed, the six members of the cabinet continued to discuss the next topic.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Nanyang Company is responsible for the development and commerce of Nanyang by the imperial court and the people. In this empty shell are the imperial army, Daming Bank, and private companies and groups."

"Nanyang Company needs a person in charge to preside over these affairs. What do you think of the person in charge of Nanyang Company?"

Qian Qianyi asked: "Lu Xiang, how is Qian Shilang?"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded: "Qian Shilang, you have a good sense of vision, and it's this year."

Zhang Ruitu said: "I have a few candidates, but Qian Shilang is indeed the most suitable candidate. In terms of age, he is not too old. He is just the age to serve the country."

Isn't that the youngest of the 52-year-old third-rank official?

It's the prime of life time.

Take a look at the six books of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which of them is not in their 60s and 60s. It is perfectly normal to be in their [-]s, and Zhang Haogu is an extreme example.

Qian Qianyi looked at Zhang Haogu. As the chief assistant of the cabinet and minister of officials, Zhang Haogu had the right to make decisions.

Extracting the resume of Qian Longxi, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing, Zhang Haogu slowly said: "Well, Minister Qian has sufficient experience. Since he has this ability, we can add more burdens to him, but it also depends His own will."

Zhang Haogu is very tolerant, no matter you are from the new party or the old party, no matter you are from the south or the north, as long as you are willing to serve the country and the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Haogu does not care about party disputes, factions, or ideas; and Zhang Haogu is also very tolerant and free in terms of official appointments. Although places like Nanyang are overseas resource areas that the imperial court will focus on in the future, adding burdens may be exile in the eyes of outsiders. Whether you want to or not depends entirely on yourself.

What's more, the person in charge of Nanyang Company, that is, the position of general manager of Nanyang Company, will not have a particularly high official position. The governor of Mongolia, the governor of Jiaofu, who has military and political power, is even higher. He can decide whether to go to war.

Therefore, this position is bound to be constrained, and both the military and the government will send people, that is to say, there may be four or five deputy general managers under a general manager, and there may be four or five third-rank officials under a second-rank officer. .

The development interests of Nanyang involve all aspects of Ming Dynasty, the factions in the north and the south, and among the interests of so many factions, whether they can be centrally governed and reconcile the various factions is very important.

Qian Qianyi didn't say anything, he was just fighting for a chance for this fellow Southerner with the same surname.

As for whether Qian Longxi can become a new pillar of the Donglin Party in the imperial court, it depends on him.

After the cabinet discussion, the corresponding campaign plan also started thoroughly.

For a while, all parts of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty were discussing the development of Nanyang, and they all scrambled to talk about all kinds of gossip they had heard from the seven aunts and eight aunts, the seven uncles, grandparents, grandparents, and unknown corners.

For example, the imperial court wants to send out 30 troops to completely wipe out Nanyang and turn it into a king's land.

For example, the imperial court decided to unite the countries of Southeast Asia and form a joint fleet to fight all the way to Thailand and the West.

What else is actually Nanyang is the place where the imperial court intends to exile prisoners, there is a wasteland, there is nothing
In short, all kinds of strange news spread, let the people of Ming Dynasty know that the imperial court is indeed going to attack Nanyang.

And the merchants from the north and south of Ming Dynasty also knew the news from their own relationships, and they were full of ambitions to prepare for the upcoming gluttonous feast.

Soon, the Daming Newspaper publicized that Daming’s first foreign company, Daming Nanyang Development Company, was formally established. This company was apparently controlled by Daming Bank, and the Royal Chamber of Commerce of Daming was a shareholder.

But who doesn't know that Daming Bank represents the Ministry of Accounts?
Daming Bank is the first and only state-owned bank in Daming fully controlled by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Is it an asset of the imperial court?
Not to mention the Daming Royal Chamber of Commerce, the Royal Chamber of Commerce, this is the old Zhu family’s group formed by integrating the royal family’s industries after Zhu Youxiao gave up all the Huangzhuang Huangtian. Bao Datianzun, the great inventor Zhu Youxiao earns money so that the emperor, who is full of whimsical ideas, has enough funds to turn the ideas in his head into reality.

How much money did the imperial court give the emperor?
Only 100 million a year!

The Daming Royal Chamber of Commerce provided more funds to the emperor in that year than the imperial court in seven or eight years!
The Daming Nanyang Development Company formed by these two big heads has shown the world that the imperial court is really going to take action against Nanyang!
Soon, Daming Nanyang Development Company announced that it would be listed on the stock exchanges of Tianjin Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture, accepting private financing.

The stocks released by it are as high as tens of millions of shares, with a minimum purchase of [-] Mingbao notes.

In other words, for these tens of millions of shares, the minimum guarantee is tens of billions, which is equivalent to several million taels of silver.

But is it really that much?
Absolutely more than that!

The businessmen and gentlemen from the north and the south have been waiting for this moment for a long time. The original shares subscribed by the officials are [-] Daming treasure notes, which is equivalent to giving some benefits to the officials of the Ming Dynasty, so that everyone has money and their families can live better.

But businessmen all know that these stocks will double in less than a day, regardless of the fact that these stocks are worth a hundred bucks!

The major businessmen in the north and the south, those big chambers of commerce and big groups are rushing to grab the shares of Daming Nanyang Development Company, making its stock price go up like a rocket.

Nanyang!

Nanyang is full of opportunities!
Nanyang!

Nanyang waiting for development!

This land of treasures will soon be taken down by the imperial court, so that the big guys can make money. If you don't rush to buy a boat ticket at this time, will you still be able to buy it later?
Soon, those big groups and big commercial firms in the north and south took their share of the stock, and the small businessmen and gentry landlords also sent their silver to exchange for a good property that could be passed on to their families.

Even many wealthy people have bought some stocks, thinking that this stock can make money.

Don't look at the tens of millions of shares that have been spilled, but these stocks are not enough for the gentry and merchants of Ming Dynasty to snatch up.

On the first day, Daming Nanyang Development Company received funds from the imperial court and the royal family. Among them, the royal family allocated 100 billion yuan to Nanyang Company, and the Ministry of Households allocated 400 billion yuan. The sum is equal to 500 million taels of silver. It is rich to build three Beijing-Tianjin roads .

However, soon, the private capital injection reached 1000 billion, followed by 300 billion, 500 billion!

In a short period of time, the funds of the people and the court reached a full 2000 billion, equivalent to 2000 million taels of silver, accounting for a quarter of the court's tax revenue last year!

What is this concept? !

With this number, not to mention the folks are dumbfounded, the imperial court has also been shocked!
2000 million taels of silver, 2000 billion Daming banknotes!

Such a huge sum of money was injected into Nanyang Company
Having just been entrusted with an important task, Qian Longxi, the Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing who is the general manager of Daming Nanyang Development Company, is completely stunned. Having money is a good thing, but having too much money will really burn your hands and make people fearful.

But Qian Longxi is very smart. He knows that Nanyang Company doesn't need so much money, so how can it use so much money to make money for so many interest factions behind it?

What the royal family and the household department want is stable and long-term income, and the major interest factions want the resources of Nanyang. If this is the case, then just go a little further!

Therefore, Qian Longxi, who had just served as the general manager of Daming Nanyang Development Company, personally went to the capital and the cabinet to submit his new plan.

"Um?!"

"Establish Nanyang Development Bank?!"
