Zhao Ming frowned slightly, looking at the many gentry and merchants in the hall, it seemed that they thought that the Lone King had come to ask for food.Zhao Ming was a little unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't blame them.After all, it is he who pulls investment, and others are unwilling and cannot force others.Zhao Ming's eyes swept over everyone and fell on Cheng Bi, but he found that this old partner had no intention of taking the lead.This is a very bad sign, although Zhao Ming has always encouraged industry and commerce, and connived at the Jiangnan gentry and merchants, but he does not want them to lose control.The path that the lonely king wants to take is state capitalism under centralized power, and important industries need to be controlled by the imperial court, and he does not want the merchant power to lose control.After all, businessmen pursue profits, and if they can't control them, they will evolve into a group that only pursues their own interests, just like the Donglin Party period, and becomes a cancer of the imperial court.Now that Dou Mien is promoted to Mi Qiu, although he can't call it yet, Zhao Ming feels that he is a little indulgent to these old guys.Zhao Ming suddenly stood up, "Since you are not willing to participate in the development of Huainan Coal Mine, then the Lone King will not force it!"
Your funding for the people of Jiangbei was accepted by the imperial court, and Lone replaced the people of Jiangbei, thank you for your generosity!
”Since they are unwilling to invest, they don't want the money-making opportunities sent to their doors, and they have to sponsor them for free, so Lord Hanwang can't help it.It is rare to see such a generous and patterned gentry and merchants.When everyone saw this, they were a little embarrassed.To tell the truth, King Han opened the sea and made a lot of money, and now King Han has come to find the big guy and set up a company in person, even if he has to lose money.Just for a few stinky money, just fooling around like this, it doesn't seem to be very authentic.The big businessman Jia Shen Changnian hurriedly said with a smile: "The next time the regent is in need, the villain will definitely participate in the shares!"
”Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Forget it!"
That's it!
”After speaking, Zhao Ming got up and left.Originally, I wanted to take them to get rich, but people didn't want to, so what was the point of forcing them.When everyone saw Zhao Ming leave directly, everyone couldn't help but be scared."
Isn't the Lord Regent angry?"
A businessman said worriedly."
We also donated a total of 200,000 taels, which is a lot!"
A gentleman said."
But, after all, we have received a lot of favors from His Highness!"
Another businessman said."
I can't say that, I'll pay taxes, but it's much more than before!"
The old gentleman Wang Feng said.This duke was originally the Shangshu of the Hongguang Dynasty, and he voted for the Qing Dynasty with Qian Qianyi."
Yes, now it's ten taxes and one!
Taxes are too heavy!
”The merchants are still a little bold, after all, the farmers and businessmen have been suppressed for thousands of years, and they are really not strong, and they are inevitably apprehensive, but the gentry are obviously bolder.The people's hearts are always insufficient, they support the Han king, and become the regent, it is inevitable that the regent can seek more benefits for them.…… Zhao Ming did not stay in Songjiang, and when he left the county office, he went out of the city directly, and he didn't eat a bite of lunch."
Regent, Jiangdong businessmen are reluctant to participate in the coal mines in Huainan?"
Chen Mingyu caught up with Zhao Ming and asked.Zhao Ming slowed down his horse and said in a deep voice: "Let the young and strong among the refugees mine first, and dredge the river." ”Although Azig has taken away hundreds of thousands of young and strong people from Jiangbei, among the 500,000 or 600,000 refugees, there are still 20,000 or 30,000 middle-aged laborers.Chen Mingyu actually didn't quite understand why Zhao Ming had to mine coal.After all, Jiangnan is not as cold as the north, and the winter is not so cold, the people cut some firewood, prepare some bellflowers, and deal with it casually, and the winter will pass."
Regent, among the refugees, there are few young and strong, and now they are allowed to open mines and dredge canals, what about the land in Jiangbei?"
Chen Mingyu couldn't help but question.Zhao Ming already had an idea in his heart, "The household department will count the wasteland and the terra nullius, and then acquire a batch of land, raise shares, set up a number of estates, and all of them will be replanted with cotton."
In this way, women and the elderly, and even children, can help with cotton picking.However, it must be noted that the court of the manor must account for more than 50% of the shares and participate in the formulation of the treatment of employees, but the court does not interfere in the management and can be handed over to the people to take care of. ”"This matter is kept secret for the time being, don't leak it out, lest someone raise the price of the land!"
Zhao Ming instructed.Chen Mingyu's eyes lit up, this is indeed a solution."
Mr.
Chen, after returning to Nanjing, I sent news to King Gu that the imperial court is going to set up a Daming Mining Company, led by King Gu, the emperor and the imperial court, to raise shares to the people!
Similarly, the government shares should account for more than 50%!
”Zhao Ming said a word, then grabbed the horse's belly and galloped away.Chen Mingyu shook his head, knowing that the regent was angry.Nanking.Zhao Ming returned to Nanjing, sent the cabinet up, stamped the backlog of music, and then sent it to the cabinet, and the cabinet was sent to the six sections, which were copied and reviewed by the matter, and sent to the corresponding official subordinates.Zhao Ming has not changed the administrative system of the Ming Dynasty now, and the Chinese system has evolved to the present, in fact, it has been relatively perfect.For example, the cabinet gives advice on state affairs and proposes solutions, while the regent has decision-making power, holds the seal, and decides whether to implement the plan given by the cabinet.If it is not implemented, it will be sent back to the cabinet for reconsideration, and if it is implemented, it will be stamped and sent back to the cabinet.At this time, the six departments will copy the plan to be implemented, during which if a loophole is found and feels that it is not feasible, it can also be "sealed" back to the cabinet, if there is no problem, it will be sent to the corresponding yamen, and the executive agencies such as the six ministries and the three local divisions will implement the strategy in detail.Suggestions, decision-making, review, implementation, all available, at least temporarily, this system is not outdated.In this system, Zhao Ming, the regent, actually replaced the celebrant of the inner court, integrating the rights of the pen, palm seal, and seal into one, and completely acting on behalf of the emperor.After Zhao Ming dealt with the accumulated affairs, he instructed the cabinet to do two things, one was to take advantage of the prestige gained by driving out the Qing army in Jiangbei, and ordered the local town lords to come to Nanjing to meet him.Zhao Ming mentioned this matter before, and this time the old matter was brought up again, and Du Yinxi, Jiang Yueguang, and Yang Weizhi did not object.And then one thing, it is about the next year, the imperial examination will be held, and the Enke will be selected.Generally speaking, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he would hold a imperial examination, commonly known as Enke.Because the time for the imperial examination has passed this year, it is scheduled to be held next year.After finishing these two things, Zhao Ming threw the government affairs to the cabinet, went to the Ministry of Industry, soaked with the craftsmen every day, didn't know what he was doing, and came back at night to hurriedly stamp.This made the government and the opposition somewhat criticized, the emperor played with women in the harem all day long, and the regent soaked in the Ministry of Industry all day long, mingling with a group of craftsmen, which was almost going to kill a lot of gossip officials.But even so, the political affairs of the Ming Dynasty are still running as usual, which is also very magical.()
