"iron rice bowl?"
Zhang Haogu stopped what he was doing and looked at Huang Zongxi.
Huang Zongxi said sternly: "Yes, the imperial court's enterprises are not those small enterprises that are easy to go bankrupt, and the enterprises that serve the imperial court can be regarded as half-officials. Doesn't that mean that there is a stable income guarantee in drought and flood? Although such enterprises are not as good as officials, But the victory lies in stability and safety, isn’t this an unbreakable iron rice bowl in the eyes of ordinary people?”
Listening to Huang Zongxi's description of Zhang Haogule: "It's not bad, the description of the common people hits the nail on the head."
"The imperial court's enterprise is half an official. If you are an official, you have to pay attention to the influence."
As he said that, Zhang Haogu reached out his hand and nodded: "Tai Chong, please remember, modify it according to the existing official rules, and make a rule suitable for state-owned enterprises, so that they can handle things according to the rules and regulations."
"Also, I remember that there will be a symposium in a few days, right?"
Huang Zongxi said: "Yes, in a few days there will be a symposium on Daming's overseas construction. Large chambers of commerce and large enterprises from the north and the south will all participate, and Cui Shilang will host it."
Regarding this symposium, the imperial court had been preparing for it before. The purpose was to contact the big businessmen from the north and the south, and set the rules in advance.
Although the overseas actions of the merchants are not the actions of the imperial court, they still represent the face of the Ming Dynasty, and their every move will be regarded by outsiders as the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, businessmen need to be cautious in every word and deed outside, and the same is true for doing things.
The land of Nanyang belongs to Daming's private land in the future. This land will become an important economic and trade place for Daming in the future. Daming will not swallow it, but Nanyang will never want to leave Daming again.
Nanyang, which belongs to half of the country, should always be taken seriously.
A few days passed quickly, big merchants from the north and south of Ming Dynasty rushed to the capital, and the prosperity of Shuntian Mansion once again opened the eyes of the merchants in the south. If it weren't for the recent lack of rain in the north and the colder weather, the food harvest would not be as good as before. It still needs to rely on the south, and it is really possible for Shuntian Mansion to be self-sufficient in money and food.
After all, relying on the vast grain production areas in the central plains of Henan and the grain and money from Shandong and other places, there is really no pressure to supply the north.
In the past, the gentry, merchants and merchants were all in the south, and the money and grain of the Ming Dynasty were all in the south, so as to restrict the northern court and maintain the common rule of the world between the emperor and the literati.
Now gentry and merchants are unable to do this step, and the court is getting rid of its dependence on the south more and more, not to mention that Hubei and Jiangnan are still under the control of the court.
Now the increasingly powerful Ming court makes the merchants feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.
For this meeting, the business office deliberately chose a good place. This time, the meeting will not be held in the business office, but in a restaurant.
Today, the famous Jingshi restaurant was taken over by the commercial office, and big businessmen from all over the world gathered together to discuss business dealings.
Salt merchants and food merchants, these big merchants who were highly respected in the past, even the court had to be careful to receive them, are nothing now.
Back then, salt merchants in Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers had to be careful even if they were officials of the imperial court. After all, these salt merchants and grain merchants held most of the imperial court's tax money and grain.
But now, not to mention that the capital’s reliance on the south is becoming less and less. In terms of taxation, those who do textile, tea, and porcelain business abroad are not big taxpayers of the imperial court. These have gradually replaced the status of salt merchants and grain merchants. .
"Master Cui is here."
"Master Cui is here!"
Hearing this, the merchants hurriedly looked towards the door, and the person who came was the chief official of the commercial yamen, Cui Chengxiu and Cui Shilang, who was in the third rank.
There is also a difference in the Beijing officials of the third grade. This Cui Shilang is the director of the commercial office. It can be said that all the businessmen in the world are under his control. Facing Cui Shilang, these big businessmen who can also talk and laugh with the prefect governor in the local area No one dared to show off their might.
Cui Chengxiu apologized with a smile: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm late."
"I went to Yuanfu's place just now, but I came out a bit late, making everyone wait for a long time."
Upon hearing this, the merchants quickly said that it would not be a hindrance, and they waited quietly for Cui Chengxiu's next words.
At the end of the day, I went to Zhang Xiangye's place. Could it be that Zhang Xiangye has some ideas about overseas development?
Anyone who can reach the level of a big businessman is a genius, how can he expand his business when he is surrounded by powerful enemies without certain skills?
Now that Cui Chengxiu mentioned Zhang Xiangye at the beginning, there must be a deep meaning in it.
Cui Chengxiu also sat down and chatted with these big businessmen first, and then mentioned overseas: "The land of Nanyang has stabilized now, and those lords have brought money from the court. The child has gone back, which means that the development of Nanyang is imminent."
"About the development of Nanyang, in fact, the imperial court doesn't have so many requirements. We just need everyone to pay attention to a few points."
"One: When the big guy goes out to do business, it represents the face of the Ming court. You must pay attention to every word, deed, and every move, so as not to lose the face of the court."
Seeing the businessmen nodding, Cui Chengxiu added: "Everyone is a big businessman with status and status, so it is natural to pay attention to face when going out. Those small countries in Nanyang are now vassals of the imperial court, so you must pay more attention, and you must remember this. "
"The second: you must abide by the law. You must abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. When you go to the land of other countries, you must also abide by the laws of other countries. Although the countries in the southeast and the Southeast Asia are my vassals of the Ming Dynasty, there are laws and regulations between countries. The laws are different, and you can abide by the laws when traveling abroad, and you can’t rely on your Ming’s identity to do whatever you want.”
"But everyone can rest assured that if you violate the laws of other countries in Nanyang, the imperial court will take you back. Nanyang's laws can't control people from Ming Dynasty."
The merchants nodded again, and they put their hearts into their stomachs. The court is still the Ming court, so it is biased towards them.
Cui Chengxiu continued: "The third thing is that people from all the countries in Nanyang should not be discriminated against. People from all the countries in Nanyang and barbarians from the land of Nanyang should not be discriminated against."
"Besides, the imperial court does not make any demands on you, but I personally hope that peace is the most important thing when you go out to do business. If you want to compete, you must compete with businessmen from other countries, not your own people."
"I don't want to hear such embarrassing news that two Ming businessmen are fighting overseas for business."
There are not many requirements from the imperial court, only three. Such requirements can be said to have almost no restrictions.
And for the Ming merchants who have been tempered in the Central Plains for so many years, doing business abroad is like breaking into Novice Village. Those small merchants and nobles in Nanyang can adapt to the various styles of Daming merchants who came out of the high-end market of Daming. means?
Cui Chengxiu said that he has nothing to do with him. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty have obeyed the local laws when doing business abroad, so what else do they need?
Then Cui Chengxiu chatted with the merchants again, and the merchants raised some concerns and opinions. Cui Chengxiu also said that these would be handed over. The imperial court would definitely guarantee the interests of the merchants and prevent them from being bullied outside.
After talking about all kinds of things, the good wine and good food will be on the stage, the businessmen will discuss business by themselves, and Cui Chengxiu will leave early to go to the cabinet.
"Yuansuke, take a look."
In the cabinet, Cui Chengxiu handed over some opinions and concerns raised by the businessmen to Zhang Haogu, which was specially ordered by Zhang Haogu before.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After receiving these opinions, Zhang Haogu flipped through them and asked, "Do the merchants agree with the three opinions of the imperial court?"
Cui Chengxiu nodded: "Everyone agrees, and no one objects."
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't plan to set many rules for them. It's not easy to go out, let alone go to sea to do business. The big guys go to Nanyang to make money, and the court also has Practical benefits. Businessmen have worked hard, so there is no need to make so many rules."
"Now that all these are settled, then Daming Pao can send out news about the imperial court's overseas construction, so as to stimulate the market."
Soon, the new issue of Da Ming Pao published the latest news from the imperial court. People in Da Ming Pao could know the latest domestic and overseas news through Da Ming Pao. The news of the tribute from various countries made the people of Ming Dynasty happy, and the cohesion of Ming Dynasty increased to another level.
After all, even the ordinary people of Ming Dynasty will be proud of the prosperity of Ming Dynasty and happy for their increasingly hopeful days. These things that are visible to the naked eye can most enhance the cohesion and centripetal force of the nation .
The most important thing in this latest issue of Ming Pao is that it mentioned that Ming Dynasty will launch overseas aid and commercial construction to Nanyang countries, saying that it will start building ports, and Nanyang countries also welcome Ming businessmen to do business. After a boil, the market was further stimulated, and the stock market began to soar again.
Especially for stocks involving shipping, steel, etc., the shareholders whose stock prices have risen are all grinning from ear to ear.
As for the capital, Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui of the Zhili Iron and Steel Company, the largest private steel company in the Zhili area, are also smiling. The imperial court wants to build overseas and invest in the ports of those small countries. How much civil engineering and steel is needed for the port construction?
To build ports according to the requirements of Ming Dynasty, these ports must meet the regulations of Ming Dynasty and be able to berth large ships and even steamships.
After all, when Daming's seaport was being repaired and expanded, the standard set by the imperial court was to berth large ships of [-] tons and [-] tons. Now that it is going to repair ports for these small Nanyang countries, the standard must not be lowered.
"Hey, how much steel does this need?" Zhang Guoji looked at the series of numbers listed by Zhou Kui, his mouth opened wide.
Zhou Kui waved the data, excitedly: "Brother, we have to expand again, this time the imperial court will open up overseas markets, and we will make a lot of money!"
Zhang Guoji also laughed excitedly: "That's right, expansion, expansion, our stock will go up again then!"
It can't go up again!
Daming News, the official mouthpiece of the Ming court, didn't it report the main trends of the court?
If it comes to later generations, you only need to arrange each issue of the Ming Pao, from which you can clearly see a series of policies and trends of the Ming court, and analyze the purpose of the Ming court at that time.
Right now, every front page headline in Daming Daily will also cause an earthquake in Daming and its surrounding areas.
For example, this time, the news that Daming was going to open up overseas markets was only sent out. The stock markets in Tianjin and Songjiang immediately went up, especially the stocks in the steel industry.
The stocks of Zhou Kui and Zhang Guoji's Zhili Iron and Steel Company rose three times a day. Excited, the two began to expand again, and wanted to expand the scale of Zhili Iron and Steel Company.
In the face of the enthusiasm of the people for overseas construction and the soaring stock market, Zhu Youjian, who has not made any money at all, only feels that people in the world are impetuous and do not go back to the sages of the past.
Faced with such a situation, Zhu Youjian was heartbroken and worried.
Sitting in the courtyard of his Xinwang Mansion, with a plate of fennel beans and a pot of wine, Zhu Youjian, a virtuous prince who is worried about the current situation in Ming Dynasty, drank the wine with a sad expression on his face: "Oh, the world today is really turbid. Everyone is chasing money-smelling things, not thinking about the way of sages, not reading poetry and etiquette, except for tricks such as investigating things, just planning to make money, how far will Daming degenerate if this continues?"
"Zhang Haogu and Zhang Ruitu deserve to be called the chief assistant and the second assistant? These treacherous ministers flattered the superiors and bullied the inferiors, and caused chaos beyond the standard. How far have they brought disaster to the Emperor Taizu's country? People in this world are not ancient, and who cares about saints?" reason?"
"Scholars and scholars don't think about sages and scriptures, they only care about things, there are no checkpoints in various places, border guards, common people and merchants move freely, officials don't think about governing the place and only care about the economy! Is this Ming Dynasty still the Ming Dynasty? Craftsmen and merchants can do whatever they want.”
Sighing the current atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian felt his heart ached. As a descendant of Emperor Taizu, he watched his brother destroy the Ming Dynasty to this point, but he was powerless. , Let the ancestors see what a mess of demons are dancing in today's Great Tomorrow.
After a few glasses of wine, Zhu Youjian's eyes turned red: "Where is the system? Where is the etiquette? Without the ancestral system, using merchants and treacherous officials, ignoring the integrity of the local people, this Ming Dynasty is eating jujube pills!"
"God! Look at Daming!"
"If the sky pretends that I am the king, I will definitely order out the chaos and reshape the court, so that I will be bright and clear!"
Hearing the roar of her prince, Princess Xin hurriedly ran up and covered Zhu Youjian's mouth, which made Zhu Youjian very angry: "What are you doing?!"
"My lord! What are you going to do?! You are dying?!" Princess Xin asked back.
Zhu Youjian said angrily, "Of course I want it."
Before he finished speaking, thinking about what he had yelled just now, Zhu Youjian woke up.
For a moment, Zhu Youjian's heart thumped, and there was only one thought in his mind: the drink was wrong, and he was finished!
These words reached the ears of my royal brother, would that vicious and vicious brother want to chop off his head? !
Zhu Youjian, who was so frightened, sat paralyzed on the stool, his face was pale, it was over, he might lose his head!
In fact, Zhu Youjian's words and deeds really couldn't hide from Jin Yiwei.
After a while, Zhu Youjian's nonsense reached Zhu Youxiao's ears.
In the Hall of Martial Ying, Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushions, and a maid behind him rubbed his shoulders: "Didn't I say that you don't need to care too much about King Xin? Why, what's wrong with my good brother?"
"Return to Your Majesty, these are the words and deeds of King Xin today." Jin Yiwei handed over a piece of paper recording Zhu Youjian's words and deeds, and Wang Tiqian on the side immediately took it and handed it to Zhu Youxiao.
Looking at what Zhu Youjian said, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing: "It's really, a nerd."
"If the Great Ming Dynasty is really handed over to him, then the ancestors will be angry."
"A nerd, don't care about what he can accomplish. Let him say what he likes to say, and let him do what he wants to do. As long as it doesn't endanger Daming Jiangshan, let him go."
Eunuch Wei was a little puzzled: "My lord."
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to signal the maids and waiters to step back.
Only when there were only cronies left in the inner hall, Zhu Youxiao sighed and threw the paper in his hand into the kerosene lamp, watching the secret letter slowly burn and curl: "The world of Ming Dynasty spans thousands of miles and embraces hundreds of rivers. This great Ming can accommodate all kinds of people, and it can also accommodate a king of faith."
"It's just a nerd's drunken nonsense. King Xin lived a poor life. If he said a few complaints, he just let him go. Seven of my brothers died early, and only King Xin was left. I can't let Later generations said that Emperor Tianqi, who created the prosperous world, could accommodate all nations, but could not accommodate his only remaining younger brother."
"My heart is wider than that of Tang Taizong. Let him go, let him watch the apocalypse dynasty, the prosperity of the world, and all nations come to court, and let him watch how my son and his nephew will govern this country in the future."
"Wei Banban."
Wei Zhongxian stepped forward quickly: "My lord, the slaves are here."
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "Let's increase Xinwang's salary, so that he doesn't even have money for drinking and having fun. A dignified prince of the court, a plate of fennel beans, and a pot of wine are not enough to shame people. Money Just come out from the inner treasury, don't attract attention, there are so many vassal kings in the world, save them from coming to disturb me."
Wei Zhongxian nodded: "The servant has recorded it."
Shaking his head, Zhu Youxiao was quite speechless about his unlucky brother, but Zhu Youxiao really didn't pay attention to Zhu Youjian's complaints.
Today's Apocalypse Dynasty spans thousands of miles, people enjoy peace and prosperity, officials are diligent, and borders are stable. The grassland border troubles that have always been a disaster on the frontier have been cleaned up, and the troubles in Liaodong are even more trivial. This Ming Dynasty has gone to the dark blue and the world. What else? Is it worth Zhu Youxiao's fear?
As the emperor who created all this, Zhu Youxiao's self-confidence is very strong, he has the confidence to control everything.
The whole world is in his hands, Zhu Youxiao really doesn't care about a nerdy brother who is stupid in reading. Instead of paying more attention to this unlucky brother, it's better to see what Ming's courtiers are doing.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested:
"Speaking of which, I haven't been to Master's house for a long time. I won't eat in the palace tonight, but go to Master's house to eat! Wei Banban, ask the imperial dining room to prepare some food and wine, and I will bring them over."

"iron rice bowl?"
Zhang Haogu stopped what he was doing and looked at Huang Zongxi.
Huang Zongxi said sternly: "Yes, the imperial court's enterprises are not those small enterprises that are easy to go bankrupt, and the enterprises that serve the imperial court can be regarded as half-officials. Doesn't that mean that there is a stable income guarantee in drought and flood? Although such enterprises are not as good as officials, But the victory lies in stability and safety, isn’t this an unbreakable iron rice bowl in the eyes of ordinary people?”
Listening to Huang Zongxi's description of Zhang Haogule: "It's not bad, the description of the common people hits the nail on the head."
"The imperial court's enterprise is half an official. If you are an official, you have to pay attention to the influence."
As he said that, Zhang Haogu reached out his hand and nodded: "Tai Chong, please remember, modify it according to the existing official rules, and make a rule suitable for state-owned enterprises, so that they can handle things according to the rules and regulations."
"Also, I remember that there will be a symposium in a few days, right?"
Huang Zongxi said: "Yes, in a few days there will be a symposium on Daming's overseas construction. Large chambers of commerce and large enterprises from the north and the south will all participate, and Cui Shilang will host it."
Regarding this symposium, the imperial court had been preparing for it before. The purpose was to contact the big businessmen from the north and the south, and set the rules in advance.
Although the overseas actions of the merchants are not the actions of the imperial court, they still represent the face of the Ming Dynasty, and their every move will be regarded by outsiders as the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, businessmen need to be cautious in every word and deed outside, and the same is true for doing things.
The land of Nanyang belongs to Daming's private land in the future. This land will become an important economic and trade place for Daming in the future. Daming will not swallow it, but Nanyang will never want to leave Daming again.
Nanyang, which belongs to half of the country, should always be taken seriously.
A few days passed quickly, big merchants from the north and south of Ming Dynasty rushed to the capital, and the prosperity of Shuntian Mansion once again opened the eyes of the merchants in the south.

For this meeting, the business office deliberately chose a good place. This time, the meeting will not be held in the business office, but in a restaurant.
Today, the famous Jingshi restaurant was taken over by the commercial office, and big businessmen from all over the world gathered together to discuss business dealings.
Salt merchants and food merchants, these big merchants who were highly respected in the past, even the court had to be careful to receive them, are nothing now.
Back then, salt merchants in Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers had to be careful even if they were officials of the imperial court. After all, these salt merchants and grain merchants held most of the imperial court's tax money and grain.
But now, not to mention that the capital’s reliance on the south is becoming less and less. In terms of taxation, those who do textile, tea, and porcelain business abroad are not big taxpayers of the imperial court. These have gradually replaced the status of salt merchants and grain merchants. .
"Master Cui is here."
"Master Cui is here!"

There is also a difference in the Beijing officials of the third grade. This Cui Shilang is the director of the commercial office.

"Now that all these are settled, then Daming Pao can send out news about the imperial court's overseas construction, so as to stimulate the market."

Zhang Guoji also laughed excitedly: "That's right, expansion, expansion, our stock will go up again then!"
It can't go up again!
Daming News, the official mouthpiece of the Ming court, didn't it report the main trends of the court?
If it comes to later generations, you only need to arrange each issue of the Ming Pao, from which you can clearly see a series of policies and trends of the Ming court, and analyze the purpose of the Ming court at that time.
Right now, every front page headline in Daming Daily will also cause an earthquake in Daming and its surrounding areas.
For example, this time, the news that Daming was going to open up overseas markets was only sent out. The stock markets in Tianjin and Songjiang immediately went up, especially the stocks in the steel industry.
The stocks of Zhou Kui and Zhang Guoji's Zhili Iron and Steel Company rose three times a day. Excited, the two began to expand again, and wanted to expand the scale of Zhili Iron and Steel Company.
In the face of the enthusiasm of the people for overseas construction and the soaring stock market, Zhu Youjian, who has not made any money at all, only feels that people in the world are impetuous and do not go back to the sages of the past.

Hearing the roar of her prince, Princess Xin hurriedly ran up and covered Zhu Youjian's mouth, which made Zhu Youjian very angry: "What are you doing?!"
"My lord! What are you going to do?! You are dying?!" Princess Xin asked back.
Zhu Youjian said angrily, "Of course I want it."
Before he finished speaking, thinking about what he had yelled just now, Zhu Youjian woke up.
For a moment, Zhu Youjian's heart thumped, and there was only one thought in his mind: the drink was wrong, and he was finished!
These words reached the ears of my royal brother, would that vicious and vicious brother want to chop off his head? !
Zhu Youjian, who was so frightened, sat paralyzed on the stool, his face was pale, it was over, he might lose his head!
In fact, Zhu Youjian's words and deeds really couldn't hide from Jin Yiwei.
After a while, Zhu Youjian's nonsense reached Zhu Youxiao's ears.
In the Hall of Martial Ying, Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushions, and a maid behind him rubbed his shoulders: "Didn't I say that you don't need to care too much about King Xin? Why, what's wrong with my good brother?"
"Return to Your Majesty, these are the words and deeds of King Xin today." Jin Yiwei handed over a piece of paper recording Zhu Youjian's words and deeds, and Wang Tiqian on the side immediately took it and handed it to Zhu Youxiao.
Looking at what Zhu Youjian said, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing: "It's really, a nerd."
"If the Great Ming Dynasty is really handed over to him, then the ancestors will be angry."
"A nerd, don't care about what he can accomplish. Let him say what he likes to say, and let him do what he wants to do. As long as it doesn't endanger Daming Jiangshan, let him go."
Eunuch Wei was a little puzzled: "My lord."
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to signal the maids and waiters to step back.
Only when there were only cronies left in the inner hall, Zhu Youxiao sighed and threw the paper in his hand into the kerosene lamp, watching the secret letter slowly burn and curl: "The world of Ming Dynasty spans thousands of miles and embraces hundreds of rivers. This great Ming can accommodate all kinds of people, and it can also accommodate a king of faith."
"It's just a nerd's drunken nonsense. King Xin lived a poor life. If he said a few complaints, he just let him go. Seven of my brothers died early, and only King Xin was left. I can't let Later generations said that Emperor Tianqi, who created the prosperous world, could accommodate all nations, but could not accommodate his only remaining younger brother."
"My heart is wider than that of Tang Taizong. Let him go, let him watch the apocalypse dynasty, the prosperity of the world, and all nations come to court, and let him watch how my son and his nephew will govern this country in the future."
"Wei Banban."
Wei Zhongxian stepped forward quickly: "My lord, the slaves are here."
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "Let's increase Xinwang's salary, so that he doesn't even have money for drinking and having fun. A dignified prince of the court, a plate of fennel beans, and a pot of wine are not enough to shame people. Money Just come out from the inner treasury, don't attract attention, there are so many vassal kings in the world, save them from coming to disturb me."
Wei Zhongxian nodded: "The servant has recorded it."
Shaking his head, Zhu Youxiao was quite speechless about his unlucky brother, but Zhu Youxiao really didn't pay attention to Zhu Youjian's complaints.
Today's Apocalypse Dynasty spans thousands of miles, people enjoy peace and prosperity, officials are diligent, and borders are stable. The grassland border troubles that have always been a disaster on the frontier have been cleaned up, and the troubles in Liaodong are even more trivial. This Ming Dynasty has gone to the dark blue and the world. What else? Is it worth Zhu Youxiao's fear?
As the emperor who created all this, Zhu Youxiao's self-confidence is very strong, he has the confidence to control everything.
The whole world is in his hands, Zhu Youxiao really doesn't care about a nerdy brother who is stupid in reading. Instead of paying more attention to this unlucky brother, it's better to see what Ming's courtiers are doing.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested:
"Speaking of which, I haven't been to Master's house for a long time. I won't eat in the palace tonight, but go to Master's house to eat! Wei Banban, ask the imperial dining room to prepare some food and wine, and I will bring them over."
