Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 759 Daming Version, Zhang Haogu's Plan

"The rulers of those small countries in Nanyang, have you had a good time in the capital recently?"

In the Hall of Martial Heroes, Zhu Youxiao, who was wearing a round-neck black robe, was holding a pair of dragon and phoenix scissors cut with gold thread, and was trimming a pot of exotic plants tributed by Nanyang. He looked left and right, and then carefully repaired it. Incredible.

Behind Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Haogu and others sat on round stools, quietly watching the master play with these green plants.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhang Ruitu bowed slightly: "The lords and nobles of those small countries have received tens of millions of money from your majesty, and they are spending all kinds of money in the capital, spending time and wine, and they are quite happy to miss leaving."

After grooming for a while, he might feel tired, so he handed the scissors to Wang Tiqian, and Zhu Youxiao strode back to his seat: "They live comfortably, and my money is not wasted."

"I heard that Master is preparing to bring them into Daming's economic system?"

Zhang Haogu said: "Return to Your Majesty, it is true."

"Let's do it then. Let them come in. It will save them from thinking wildly. It's a good thing to spend time and drink peacefully." Zhu Youxiao said and looked at the potted plant that he had pruned. It is Daming's own.

Out of the Hall of Martial Heroes, several people walked slowly, Qian Qianyi asked: "Yuanfu, to bring the Nanyang countries into my Ming Dynasty's economic and trade circle, is this going to be paid by the people, or is it?"

Zhang Haogu said: "I'm also thinking about this. The Nanyang Company has a bank and can provide loans to the Nanyang countries nearby, but I don't want to grant it to them for the time being."

"Right now, what I'm thinking of is to list their port, and then Daming Bank will buy their shares, which can be regarded as justifiably taking part of their shares in the port. Or the imperial court will use its own reputation as a guarantee to help them issue it among the people. stock."

Lu Xiangsheng heard the words and said: "The enthusiasm for private investment has remained high during this period. When all walks of life are listed, the private sector will invest money crazily, and they don't care if this thing makes money, how long it will take to make money, and whether it will eventually lose money .”

"From my point of view, if things go on like this, sooner or later the capital of the people will be exhausted by those messy things. The Ming Dynasty has hidden wealth in the people for 260 years, so this money can't be wasted on those meaningless things."

Qian Qianyi also expressed his approval for this: "Indeed, private capital is too enthusiastic about investment, which is not a good thing. It is definitely not a good thing if ordinary people are really involved in stocks."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "At the beginning, when we set up the listing system, we took this into consideration. Those listed companies must have assets that can be supervised and repaid; It’s going to be hard to recover.”

After returning to the cabinet, Zhang Haogu said: "The lords of those small countries are still waiting for the court to reply."

"Call them all over and discuss together. About how to maintain peace in the Nanyang region, how to do business, how to make money... and how to set the rules."

The rulers of small countries such as Ma Dalan soon received a notification from the Ministry of Rites. The good news is that the imperial court will formally talk to them about aid.

They can't be sloppy about such a good thing, one by one put on their newly bought beautiful clothes, and the dressed up people lead the nobles to wait for the call.

Among the six ministries of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Etiquette is in charge of matters involving foreign guests.

This time is no surprise, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of hosting, and the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry will participate in it to provide corresponding financial assistance and engineering assistance.

Nanyang is a treasure. The Dutch people have explored it, and the Frangians have also explored it, but they haven’t fully developed and excavated this treasure. Daming will take over the work of the Dutch and Flemish people. Good job Do a good job in the development of Nanyang.

The venue for the meeting was set within the Ministry of Rites.

When the rulers of the small Nanyang countries such as Aceh and Banten arrived, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were doing the final finishing touches. The tables and chairs were arranged, and the melons, fruits, pastries, and tea were in place one by one.

The plaque of Liyi Wanbang hangs high above. These kings look at the surrounding environment, the exquisite celadon, green plants, and there is a fish tank in the hall with several beautiful small fishes, placed on the sandalwood shelf. With a few accessories, it is simple and elegant.

After sitting down for a while, the elders from Shangguo came.

Zhang Haogu, Zhang Ruitu, and Qian Qianyi greeted everyone with a smile and then sat down.

"Yuanfu, Cifu, old Qiange."

The kings and nobles of the Nanyang countries immediately felt the importance of this meeting. The three big figures from the Ming cabinet had arrived, which was enough to see the sincerity of Ming and the height of this meeting.

Qian Qianyi looked at Zhang Haogu, who was drinking tea with a teacup, and Zhang Ruitu, who was holding a folding fan beside him. The three of them looked at each other, and Qian Qianyi knew that he was about to speak: "My lords! It is really hard work to come all the way from thousands of miles to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty."

"In the past few days, have you lived comfortably in Shuntian Mansion?"

King Aceh said with a smile: "Thanks to the elders, we live very comfortably."

King Wan Dan also echoed: "Yes, yes, Daming is really beautiful, a thousand times stronger than our Wan Dan, and life in Daming is much more comfortable than living in Nanyang."

The rulers of the other countries also nodded in agreement, praising the beauty and dreams of Daming.

That kind of feeling is like seeing the beacon of freedom, and I immediately know what to pursue and what to do.

Qian Qianyi said with a smile: "In the past few days, the lords of the country have also talked with us. Regarding the difficulties Nanyang is facing now, Daming will definitely not stand by and watch."

"After all, the countries are my Ming's vassal states. As the suzerain, it is necessary to help the vassal states. What's more, the land of Nanyang is not a barren land. If it is well developed, it will be of some benefit to my Ming Dynasty. "

"In this regard, the court will not deceive everyone. If the court is profitable, it is profitable, and if it is not profitable, it is not profitable."

The lords of the countries nodded, not surprised by this.

Daming aided Nanyang because it was profitable. Is there any problem with this?

No!

It’s true that Daming is a Shang country, but it doesn’t make sense that he is a Shang country so he should help you unconditionally.

How can there be so many things in this world that can be dreamed of? Daming is not stupid.

Throughout the 260 years of the Ming Dynasty, all external events, be it tribute or war, there is no one who simply does not want to repay good deeds. The first consideration between countries is the issue of interests.

Unless you are North Korea, but even if it is North Korea, it is not because of other things that Da Ming helped North Korea to quell the Japanese invasion and drive away Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but because Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded North Korea and affected Daming’s border security. influence.

Therefore, being profitable is really not a bad thing, it at least shows that you still have something worth using, and Da Ming can still see you in his eyes.

If it is really useless and is not seen by others, that is the real bad thing.

Aceh, Palembang, Banten, Mataram and other Nanyang island countries all have rich Nanyang resources, which are all profitable for Ming, and Da Ming will naturally spend money to help them develop.

This is something that benefits both parties.

Zhang Haogu said: "Everyone, this pavilion has also talked with you before. Da Ming was not interested in how the Dutch colonized Nanyang before. What Da Ming hopes is to be able to do business with everyone peacefully. This business is very particular." That is, harmony makes money, everyone is harmonious, and mutual development is in everyone's interest."

"How to do the aid and support for the big guys. We have discussed this point. If we want to develop, we must open up. It will definitely not work behind closed doors, and the colonists of the Netherlands also told everyone that they want to close their doors. It’s unrealistic to live your own life.”

"Be it now or in the future, they are all open and open to each other. Since the imperial court provides shelter for everyone, there is no need for you to follow the old path. We have discussed it, and the cabinet will help you raise funds in the name of the imperial court. , use the financing money to develop a number of excellent ports."

"When the port develops, it can attract businessmen to do business. Attracting investment is the absolute principle of development."

Seeing the heads of the various countries nodding, Zhang Haogu continued: "Of course, the imperial court no longer uses gold and silver, but uses precious banknotes in an all-round way. Therefore, if the financing is obtained, everyone will get precious banknotes. You must be clear about this."

Lang Sang said: "Yuanfu, don't worry, we, Ma Dalan, are willing to use Shangguo's coins."

The rulers of countries such as Aceh, Banten, and Palembang also agreed one after another, expressing their willingness to use precious banknotes instead of gold and silver.

Qian Qianyi said with a smile: "Everyone, please don't worry, my Daming's precious banknotes are not only circulated in China, Southeast Asia, North Korea and other countries are currently in circulation. Wherever my Daming is within reach, the precious banknotes are universal. This precious banknote can not only do business with Daming, but also North Korea, Toungoo, Gongbang and other countries, and it is still usable."

Hearing this guarantee, the rulers of these small countries in Nanyang felt more at ease. Baochao was not the currency of the Ming family, but to be precise, it was the common currency of the pan-Oriental cultural circle.

But anyone who bathes and inherits oriental culture, and anyone in the traditional circle of Daming, is the most common and strongest currency.

This is much better than gold and silver.

After confirming the currency system, Zhang Haogu continued: "Since everyone is willing to accept my Daming's aid and use my Daming's precious banknotes, then the corresponding system can be established together."

"Please rest assured that this system only involves business and does not involve the internal affairs of the lords. Daming will not meddle in your internal affairs. We will talk about everything from business."

Reassuring the hearts of these national leaders, Zhang Haogu sent a designated document to let these national leaders confirm it.

This document specifies Ming's obligations in detail. For example, Ming wants all countries to provide assistance to help them build ports and develop commerce. How to spend the money requires the two countries to supervise and use it.
In addition to the obligations of Daming, there are also obligations of the vassal states. For example, after Da Ming provides assistance, the vassal states must share the interests of the port with Daming, because Daming will own a certain amount of shares in the port. Da Ming will not prevent businessmen from various countries from going to Da Ming to trade, and everyone will communicate with each other, etc.

One by one, item by item, listed clearly.

In addition, there are some subsidiary regulations, such as allowing Daming to build schools in various countries to educate local students, such as Daming not preventing students from other countries from studying in Daming, and how many students from the vassal kingdoms should be accepted each year.

Another example is that the people of the Ming Dynasty will abide by the laws of the vassal state within the territory of the vassal state, but if they commit a crime, they should still be dealt with by the Ming Dynasty and so on.

There are not many subsidiary regulations, and these country owners have no opinion.

It is natural for the people of Daming to hand over the mistakes to Daming, and it is a great thing for Daming to help other countries build schools, not to mention that Daming will also accept students from various countries and send them to the best schools in Daming for education. This is a great opportunity to learn the advanced thinking and excellent education of Shangguo!

In the past, even if you spent money, these universities in Ming Dynasty were not necessarily open to the vassal states. Now you can get in touch with the most advanced and excellent ideological education and political ideas of Ming Dynasty for free, and be classmates with future elites of Ming Dynasty, so as to broaden your horizons, learn knowledge and communicate A good opportunity for relationship may not come once in eight lifetimes!
This is not an exaggeration. Daming is the dreamlike state in the eyes of all countries. The knowledge of Daming is the best, and the most advanced is unique in the world. To get the opportunity to study in Daming, that is something that students from the vassal state can’t even dream of. Good thing you can imagine.

Daming's school is the world's top school, and it is beyond the reach of many people to receive education and broaden their contacts here.

Especially for these small countries and vassal states, accepting the education of Ming Dynasty, learning the knowledge, culture and political ideas of Ming Dynasty means that you have accepted the best inheritance in the world. What's more, the classmate relationship with the heroes of Shangguo means an extra life-saving talisman for the weak and small country.

It is difficult for people who do not live in Ming Dynasty to imagine how much these small countries love Da Ming.

Therefore, when they saw this article, the heads of all countries were very excited, and the nobles behind them were also extremely excited. Shangguo opened up places for them to receive education in Shangguo. This opportunity must be seized!
After these regulations were confirmed and negotiated, the heads of countries began to sign their names and stamp their seals on the documents.

There are two copies, one for the collection of the Ming Dynasty and one for the collection of the rulers of various countries.

In the future, if the rulers of various countries encounter rebellion or conspiracy and run to Daming with documents, there may be a chance to restore the country.

Finally, it is the aid and assistance plans of various countries.

The Ming cabinet will help the ports of various countries to carry out initial development and construction through financing and listing. The specific amount of financing and listing will be assessed according to the actual situation of each country, the resources it has, the population, and many other aspects. The money will be used under supervision. On top of port development, it is guaranteed to build a commercial port that meets Ming's expectations.

The follow-up development is not so simple, because after the port is built, Daming's obligations will be fulfilled, and the maintenance and repair of the port in the future will naturally be borne by Daming and the vassal state using the port's income, and it is impossible for Daming to invest more in it. Extra expenditure, after all, so many places in Ming Dynasty need to be developed.

At this time, if countries still need money, need to develop other places, or need money to do other things, what should they do?
At this time, we have to mention the loan business of Daming Nanyang Development Company.

The loan channel is also very clear. The Nanyang Development Bank will become the loan channel for the subsequent Nanyang countries to ensure that the Nanyang countries can get loans, and this loan is borne by each country. out of the corresponding benefits to compensate.

For loan matters, please consult Nanyang Development Bank in detail.

According to Zhang Haogu's judgment on the rulers and nobles of these small Nanyang countries, they will definitely need loans in the future, and after the model of Nanyang Development Bank has been tested, it can be promoted in more places in the future, just like Nanyang Development Corporation.

And Daming will not occupy any land in Nanyang. The most important legal land comes from the ports jointly developed by Ming and other countries. These ports developed by Ming and other countries will become major trading towns and businesses in Nanyang. As a hub, Daming, who also owns half of the shares in these cities, is naturally equivalent to owning a piece of land in these places.

But these places are all commercial cities, and they don’t expect them to berth the Ming Dynasty’s naval fleet in the future. As for the port of the naval fleet, Zhang Haogu still thinks that a port city like Batavia is good.

Of course, colonial cities like Palembang and Batavia have nothing to do with Daming in name. They are the land of Daming Nanyang Development Company. As for the follow-up discussion, it is the leaders of these countries who will discuss with Qian Longxi In short, don't look for the Ming cabinet.

Once the rules and regulations are determined, it is natural to plan for financing and listing for various countries.

This is really Ming spending money to support the development of small countries. For this, the leaders of these small countries are extremely looking forward to it.

Speaking of which, they have also learned about the stock market situation in Shangguo, and they have also witnessed how profitable the company is when it goes public. It can be said that they have seen with their own eyes how a small company raised a large amount of money to go public and then have enough money to realize the expansion of the company. Realize the development of enterprises and personal fortune.

A good project, a high-quality asset, if you have these, you can go for financing and go public to get a bigger future and unlimited possibilities.

Daming's financing and listing really expanded too much future.

For example, Lang Sang once learned that the largest private iron and steel enterprise in Ming Dynasty is the Zhili Iron and Steel Plant. This iron and steel plant has the largest production capacity with the most skilled workers in the entire Zhili, and supplies Chidao Construction and other aspects. There are not many assets in total, and it is only through the listing that we have achieved the wealth that is now incomparably rich.

The owner of the Zhili Iron and Steel Company now has hundreds of millions of wealth, and the owner of an ordinary small country has no money at all!
Of course, Lang Sang and the others don't know too much inside information, but it doesn't prevent them from wanting to raise funds and go public.

It is exciting to think about the successful acquisition of large sums of money by going public. Not only can the country develop, but you can also have money to enjoy yourself.
