Chapter 1320: Eldest Sun Wuji's Worries


In the afternoon, the chat was happy, and Cheng Qian simply didn't leave.

In the evening, Xia Hua and Sister Ruohua cooked by themselves.

One of the sisters is the queen's mother, and the other is a concubine, second only to the queen in the palace.

But when I returned to my parents' house at this time, there was no shelf.

The two sisters learned their cooking skills from their father Zhang Chao and got the true inheritance of Zhang's cooking skills.

Cui Sanniang and Zheng Hongxian were all smiling and pointing out today.

The queen and the concubine's daughter cook the dishes themselves, which makes people proud of it.

Cheng Qian and Zhang Chao sat in the living room chatting, and when their daughter cooked, Zhang Chao was too lazy to cook.

His daughter's craftsmanship, he still trusts it very much.

The Emperor sent for some of the ministers. said that it was the New Year, so they all came to Zhang's house for a meal and chatted by the way.

Compared to meeting in the palace, it will be much less restrained.

The fastest to come was the eldest grandson Wuji.

The emperor sent someone to invite this first, and the eldest grandson Wuji was also free and easy, it seems that after experiencing something some time ago, he has changed a lot.

He came with a roast goose in his hand.

Li Ji also came and brought a pot of wine.

Fang Xuanling, Du Yan, Li Jing, Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, Wei Chigong, Qin Qiong.

There were not many people, so nine of them were called.

There are prime ministers, and there are non-prime ministers.

A table of dishes is good, and the wine and food are all ready.

Zhang Chao and the old iron gun are accompanied, and the monarch and the minister are indeed a lot less restrained.

Even Zhang Chao and Zhang Sun Wuji exchanged cups and exchanged glasses, which shows that the two have the slightest grudge in the past.

Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou, the two ministers, are both good wines, especially Ma Zhou, who is not only good wine, but also very good in terms of wine.

There was no need to persuade him to come up, cup after cup, and after a while, he drank seven or eight glasses himself.

Even if I drank wine today, it was very powerful.

During this period, Zhang Chao asked the sons of the family to come over to toast.

Zhang Jing also brought his wife, Li Liqing, the eldest princess of Changle, to salute the emperor's eldest brother Chengqian.

"I'm going to Liuqiu after the New Year, how are you preparing" Cheng Qian asked his brother-in-law with a smile, Zhang Jing is a few years younger than Cheng Qian, but when he was a child, Cheng Qian often stayed in Zhang's house, and he was very familiar with these little brothers.

"Everything is ready, and we will leave after the Shangyuan Festival."

"Work hard, don't fall into the prestige of the Zhang family."

Cheng Qian patted Zhang Jing on the shoulder, "Boyu, there are still hundreds of thousands of Shanyi in Liuqiu who refuse to accept Wanghua, and your responsibility is very heavy." ” The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Zhang Jing and was a little envious in his heart.

Although his own son is not bad, first of all, his eldest grandson Wuji's son is not as good as Zhang Chao.

His eldest grandson Wuji now has fifteen sons, but Zhang Chao already has thirty-one, more than twice as many as him.

And these sons and daughters of the Zhang family are indeed pleasing to the eye.

All of them are very promising, smart and united.

A few days ago, I heard that the third child of the Zhang family had a conflict with the sons of Yang Gongren's family outside, and one against the five Yang family at that time.

As a result, he had a momentum, although he heard that he was beaten very badly, but he crippled the seven elders of the Yang family, and the others did not see well.

After Zhang Jing heard about it, he immediately brought a group of brothers to block the Yang family brothers outside the Guozi Prison, and beat them all over the place, it is said that the Yang family is also more than a dozen brothers, but in the end, he was beaten and begged for mercy and called his grandfather.

Shame on you.

After Yang Gongren found out, he angrily scolded the Zhang family robbers, but he was not embarrassed to come to the door to find Zhang Chao's theory.

After all, the sons and daughters of the family fought, and both times they were more against less, and they both lost, and they didn't have the face to say.

After hearing that Zhang Chao knew, he didn't clean up his sons, and each of them rewarded a batch of thousands of horses.

The son is not as good as the Zhang family, and the daughter is not as good.

Thinking of the daughter who ran away from home to Zhang's house to elope with Zhang Qilang, he was angry and had a liver ache, and he is still in the palace.

He didn't have that daughter in his heart anymore.

"Motosuke told me something today, it sounds good, I want to hear everyone's opinions."

Cheng Qian also drank four or five glasses, and his face was a little red, but this wine was not intoxicating.

He smiled and talked about the Coast Security Company that Zhang Chao had mentioned before.

After hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji thought about it carefully.

Compared with the sea privateer proposed by Zhang Chao back then, this plan is even bolder.

During the war with Goguryeo, Zhang Chao offered to allow merchants to plunder along the Goguryeo coast.

Now, businessmen and citizens are directly allowed to form companies in partnership and go overseas to develop colonies and establish territories.

This is to allow the nobles to divide the feud, and the common people can also be divided Although it is a company to develop and own a territory, this opened up territory is no different from a noble fiefdom.

Even their territory does not have a size limit, and they can develop as much as they can.

It sounds like the imperial court really has only good and no harm.

But the eldest grandson Wuji has dealt with Zhang Chao for so many years, and he knows very well how powerful Zhang Chao is.

Zhang Chao's favorite thing is to coat the shell with a layer of sugar There must be a deep purpose in this.

What exactly Could it be that Zhang Chao wants to use his huge financial resources and connections to manipulate the establishment of a coast security company behind the scenes, and then go overseas to develop colonies and expand his influence reasonably and legally Definitely.

According to some simple regulations that Zhang Chao now proposed, the imperial court divided the maritime trade routes and then recruited companies.

To qualify, it is not so easy, first of all, you have to have enough financial resources.

Moreover, each company must have a capital of more than 1 million yuan, at least 13 partners, and the largest shareholder's shares must not exceed 30%.

To apply, you must first submit a deposit of 100,000 yuan to the imperial court.

If the bet is successful, the margin must be increased to 1 million.

This million is in the hands of the imperial court, and if these security companies protect the route unfavorably, so that the merchant ships are plundered and lost, they will be fined, and in serious cases, even disqualified.

But in the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji, these terms are only restricting ordinary businessmen.

One million guan capital, so that ordinary businessmen cannot participate.

And the deposit of one million yuan raises the threshold.

But for a family like Zhang Chao, whether it is a million deposit, or a company that holds no more than 30% of the shares, it is not a problem.

As soon as the Zhang family is rich, not to mention one million or five million, he will take it out.

As for at least thirteen shareholders, the Zhang family has such a wide connection, and even the Zhang family has a huge family management group.

These stewards who are attached to the Zhang family are also rich in wealth by relying on the shares, dividends, bonuses, etc. given by the Zhang family.

Many of the chief stewards of the Zhang family have even surpassed many old wealthy families.

They all gathered under the Zhang family and managed one huge industry after another for the Zhang family.

They are conscientious and conscientious, looking at these industries for the Zhang family, creating huge benefits.

Thirteen shareholders, no more than thirty percent of a single person, these can't restrict Zhang Chao at all, he casually let his subordinate families also participate, and in the end, isn't all this under his control behind the scenes.

Spending money is nothing compared to getting the benefits of colonizing and gaining territory.

Can money buy a fief, can money become a lord, can't.

But now, if you have money, you have the opportunity to recruit troops, colonize and gain territory.

Back then, Zhang Chao secretly grabbed strongholds in Nanyang and trained private troops.

Now Zhang Chao directly wants to recruit troops openly and establish a colonial territory.

With the strength of the Zhang family, they are rich, powerful and talented, let them go overseas to develop colonies, who can stop them.

Just the primitive natives of the coast He can imagine those pictures, the tiger into the flock.

Zhang Chao himself has many territories, and no one can reach the number of fiefdoms.

However, his territory is fixed, and the surrounding area is either the territory of the imperial court or the fiefs of other nobles, and there is little chance of expansion.

But now, Zhang Chao has found a good way to expand.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is very dangerous to authorize private people to recruit troops and horses and attack cities and seize land everywhere."

The eldest grandson Wuji directly pointed out the most critical point, the army.

The military has always been a top priority, how can private ownership of the army?

The vassal lords have armies, and they are all twists and turns, full of twists and turns.

Even the army of vassals must have a number of troops in strict accordance with their titles.

If Zhang Chao's plan is passed, won't it become that if you have money, you can recruit troops and buy horses, you can attack cities and plunder land, and you can have territory Everyone can recruit troops, everyone can have territory, and this must not be messed up Zhang Chao gave an explanation for this question.

There are also restrictions on the number of troops in the security company.

In addition, the imperial court had to send regulatory officials.

In the armed forces of these companies, supervisors and sect leaders must be sent at all levels.

The territory was laid, and the administrative and judicial taxes were under the control of the imperial court, and the imperial court sent people to manage them.

"As long as you strictly manage and control, you don't have to worry about getting out of control.

This is even hiding soldiers from the people, and these security forces can also be included in the reserve of the imperial court. ” "Strict management, limiting the number of troops, and prohibiting crossing the border, so why not use them to protect the shipping routes, and even expand the territory for the imperial court?"

Zhang Chao asked rhetorically.

After all, these security companies are only set up overseas, and they are not allowed in Datang.

The eldest grandson Wuji believed that in order to protect the shipping routes, the imperial court could establish a fleet to escort the ship.

Zhang Chao smiled.

"From Linyi to the Red Sea, this road is far away, and the eldest grandson doesn't know it, and the imperial court is beyond the reach of the whip."

Fang Xuanling did not express his position lightly.

He felt that once this matter was let go, it would definitely trigger many chain reactions.

As for whether he can really control it in the future, he is not sure yet.

However, as Zhang Chao said, if the imperial court wants to send a fleet to escort it, it is indeed a little weak.

He groaned for a long time.

"Your Majesty, if the route segments are subdivided, and the imperial court strengthens some management, the old minister thinks this is a good thing."

Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou, and others also expressed their opinions.

In general, it was agreed that the plan was feasible, but that it needed to be more regulated.

Wei Zheng even proposed that the funds should be raised by the people, and then the imperial court should be responsible for the operation.

But Zhang Chao thought that Wei Zheng was too naïve and did not have enough benefits, so why should everyone hand over the money to the imperial court.

The most important part of his plan is that the company can develop colonies, and those who invest money can enjoy the huge benefits brought by colonizing and establishing territories.

After all, compared to making money, being able to get a piece of territory is quite remarkable.

This is a very attractive place for many people who are rich, but not real nobles.

Even if you share a territory with other shareholders, isn't it much better than nothing?

And for Zhang Chao, the person who proposed this plan, his biggest original intention was not to say that he would benefit from it.

He mainly wanted to let the Tang people go out, not only the nobles could be divided, but other wealthy people would also have the opportunity to go out and open up and obtain this legitimate right.

And for the imperial court, at the very least, the shipping route will be safe, and the interests of trade can be preserved.

In the long run, Datang will expand its territory and increase taxes, which are all benefits.

If you are rich, you can build a garden at home every day to support your family, and there is no point in fighting with others to get rich.
