Daming Military Empire

Chapter 299 Integrating Industries
Just after the first month of the 11th year of Chongzheng, Xu Guangqi, the chief assistant of the cabinet, received an imperial edict, asking him to arrange for his grandsons Xu Erjue, Xu Erdou, Xu Ermo, Xu Erlu, etc. who were far away in Nanzhili to come to Beijing to face the saint, saying that he had something to tell them to go Do.Xu Guangqi is quite familiar with the situation of his relatives and grandchildren. They are all a little obsessed with Western learning, but the learning of sages is not very good. Therefore, none of them have obtained fame. What can these boys do, and even bother the emperor. Confess in person!

Xu Guangqi thought that the emperor wanted to arrange them to be officials. How could this work? Wouldn't it be absurd to be in the imperial court without fame?He didn't want to lose his reputation at the end of the festival and get a reputation for perverting the law for selfishness, so after receiving the edict, he didn't immediately let his own grandson go to Beijing to face the saint, but went to the palace to face the saint.

Zhu Cijiong has become more respectful to his mentor since he learned that Xu Guangqi treats his family members selflessly. Hearing that his mentor is here, he not only welcomes him outside the Qianqing Palace for the first time, but also personally supports his mentor all the way to the study, and even moves the chair to the mentor by himself. Behind him, let the teacher sit down conveniently.

This time Xu Guangqi panicked even more. After he half pushed and half sat down, he immediately said in panic: "Your Majesty, you must not be so gracious to this humble minister. Everyone in the court knows that this humble minister is the emperor's enlightenment teacher. The position of Duke Zhu has already been favored too much, if you continue to bless your descendants, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will continue to criticize you!"

Zhu Cijiong asked with a smile: "What is there to criticize, what is there to criticize?"

Xu Guangqi also went all out, mustered up his courage, and replied directly: "Criticize the emperor for disrespecting the ancestral system, disregarding fame, cronyism!"

Zhu Cijiong fainted when he heard the words, and said with a wry smile: "Men, I'm afraid you made a mistake. I didn't say that Erjue and Erdou would be made officials!"

Xu Guangqi was taken aback when he heard the words, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He couldn't help asking curiously: "What does the emperor want them to do?"

Zhu Cijiong told a little lie, and said vaguely: "There are more and more things happening at Xinglong Company these days, and Luo Yangxing can't handle it all by himself, so I want Erjue and Erdou to learn from Luo Yangxing, Help me take care of the store in the future."

He didn't dare to directly say how many shares he would give to the Xu family. In that case, Xu Guangqi would definitely not agree.

Sure enough, Xu Guangqi immediately praised and said: "It turns out that this is the case. It's okay. They are just a pile of waste wood. It would be good if they can plant some land to support themselves. Now they can help the emperor take care of the business." It is a great fortune, I am here to thank the emperor for them."

Zhu Cijiong was really frightened when he heard the words. This mentor is really cruel. After the dignified Duke and the chief minister of the cabinet, he let them go to farm. Don't bring such abusive children and grandchildren!
Just kidding, kidding, in short, my teacher Xu Guangqi finally got away with it. Zhu Cijiong not only sent an edict to his teacher, but also sent a telegram to Sun Chengzong who was far away in Liaodong, and also asked him to arrange for his grandsons Sun Zhihang, Sun Zhishi, Sun Zhixuan, Sun Zhihao and others went to Beijing to face the saints.

Sun Chengzong was too far away to refuse the emperor face to face, so he had to tell his relatives and grandchildren to be honest when they entered Beijing. If the emperor wanted to appoint them officials, even death would not accept it!
Fortunately, Zhu Cijiong did not want to appoint them officials. After Xu Erjue, Xu Erdou, Sun Zhihang, Sun Zhishi and others arrived, Zhu Cijiong immediately held a special imperial meeting in his study. The participants were:

Zhennan Wang Zheng Zhilong;

Loyal and diligent Marquis Luo Yangxing;
Bi Maokang, Secretary of the Ministry of Industry;
Dongchang Admiral Cao Huachun;
Sincerely Boshvira;

Qin Mingyue's younger brother, Qin Weiming;
Xu Erjue, the eldest grandson of Xu Guangqi;
Sun Zhihang, eldest grandson of Sun Chengzong;
The combination of these people is a bit strange. There are current high-ranking officials, former high-ranking officials, princes, marquises, queens, the emperor’s brother-in-law, the chief eunuch, and even a foreigner. What is this for? ?
Zhu Cijiong recruited them not to discuss national affairs, but to discuss the management of the royal family's industries. Now there are many industries under his name, such as Rixinglong Company, Daming Western Commerce and Trade, and so many factories under the Ministry of Industry, as well as Northwest China. Two to three hundred million mu of land, as well as the original Huangzhuang, etc., must be integrated.Of course, the entire Ming Dynasty belongs to him in general, but it can only be regarded as the public property of the Ming Empire, not his personal private property. The public property is managed by court officials, and this private property can only be managed by his own cronies.

First of all, he made it clear that public and private must be separated, that is to say, those who manage private property for him cannot serve as court officials, so Luo Yangxing's Jin Yiwei commander was sacked. As for the Minister of Industry Bi Maokang and Dongchang Admiral Cao Huachun to participate in the meeting , Of course, it is not to loose their official positions, but to separate the private property of the royal family managed by them.

Then, he unified all the private properties with the name of the royal family and subdivided them. For example, the Daming Royal Nikko Bank specializes in managing currency business, and the Daming Royal Xinglong Company specializes in managing daily necessities, including Huangzhuang’s products. The output of the two to three hundred million mu of land in the northwest and the northwest is managed by the Daming Royal Xinglong Company. The Daming Royal Western Trading is specialized in the management of luxury goods production. He also specially established a Daming Royal Machinery Industry Group to manage machinery factories, cement factories, steel mills and other non-military units, and is also responsible for the foreign sales of arms.

Finally, he clarified the responsibilities and rights of his cronies:

Zhongqin Hou Luo Yangxing is in charge of managing Daming Royal Nikko Bank, accounting for [-]% of the shares of Daming Royal Nikko Bank. In addition, Jin Yiwei participates in the management of all retirements of the bank, letting their nephews take over their Jin Yiwei positions, and at the same time giving them a share [-]% of the shares, and the remaining [-]% belong to the royal family.

Xu Erjue, the grandson of Xu Guangqi, led the third generation of the Xu family to manage the Daming Royal Xinglong Company. The Xu family accounted for [-]% of the shares of Daming Royal Xinglong Company, and another [-]% was distributed to the current management personnel of the company, and the remaining [-]% belonged to the royal family.

Sun Zhihang, the son of Sun Chengzong, led the third generation of the Sun family to manage the Daming Royal Machinery Industry Group. The Sun family accounted for [-]% of the shares of Daming Royal Machinery Industry Group, and another [-]% was distributed to the current management personnel of the company, and the remaining [-]% belonged to the royal family.

Zhennan King Zheng Zhilong is in charge of managing Daming Royal Western Commerce and Trade. He holds [-]% of the shares of Daming Royal Western Commerce and Trading, and then distributes [-]% to the current management personnel of the company.

Qin Mingyue’s younger brother, Qin Weiming, is not in charge of managing any property, but is responsible for checking accounts. Zhu Cijiong asked him to go directly to the Daming Academy of Arts and Sciences and Daming Academy of Sciences to gather a group of accounting experts, and then take turns to check the accounts of each company, that is, let him do it for him. Looking at the meaning of all the industries of the royal family.Naturally, Zhu Cijiong couldn't lose him in terms of treatment. His sister is the queen, and the Qin family is also a member of the royal family. Zhu Cijiong simply ordered to share [-]% of all his property with the Qin family, no matter it is the present or the future!

As for Shivela, naturally he didn't get [-]% of the shares for nothing. Zhu Cijiong ordered him to go back and integrate all his businesses, and also set up a formal company, and handed over [-]% of the shares to the Ming Royal Family in exchange for [-]% of the shares of Daming Royal Western Trading .
