Although Zhao Ming has founded many companies earlier, it is the first time that he has been listed for stock trading.In the previous company, there were also share capital transactions between shareholders and between shareholders and the outside world, but they were not active and were small-scale transactions.It is not a company fund-raising, but a transaction between shareholders, the company does not get income, and after the listing of additional shares, the company's account can be exchanged for money, and private funds can be collected for investment and development.The world's earliest stock exchange, which appeared in the Netherlands in 1602, is undoubtedly late, more than 50 years late.Looking at the stocks of JAC Cotton, which are slowly rising every day, it makes the Jiangnan gentry and businessmen itch.This kind of money makes money, and the speed at which it turns over in a few days is better than working hard to make money by running a workshop.Jiangnan has a developed economy, and the smart gentry and businessmen quickly saw the way out and knew that this was a sharp weapon for collecting money.The Jiangnan gentry were about to move for a while, and the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce wanted to make an exchange.However, Zhao Ming knows the pros and cons of securities trading, now that this thing has just come out, the market is not yet mature, and he can't let them mess around, nor can he make him feel that making money is easy, when necessary, he has to teach them a lesson, but not now.Just when the southeast gentry and businessmen were preparing to do a big job, Zhao Ming, in the name of the regent of the Ming Dynasty, issued a decree to appoint Xia Wanchun as the head of the stock exchange, and at the same time prohibited the private establishment of a stock exchange, but allowed private companies to submit a listing promotion application to the stock exchange, and after being reviewed by the company, they approved the issuance of shares and traded on the stock exchange.However, at present, due to the initial establishment of securities trading, the various systems are not perfect, although several powerful companies have submitted applications, but Xia Wanchun's family has not approved, but first let the JAC cotton industry trial operation for a period of time.This makes people who want to buy stocks can only stare at the stretch of JAC, causing each share to rise to 30 taels, which has exceeded the market value of JAC.This made Zhao Ming very vigilant, afraid that if it fell, it would affect the listing of the two Huai coal industries in the future, so Zhao Ming could only stare at the cotton fields of the two Huai in person.After all, only if the company is really profitable and supported by dividends can the stock price be maintained.In case, the company loses money at the end of the year, and as soon as the financial report comes out, the stock will definitely slam down.This stock exchange was set up by the imperial court, and it may also arouse public resentment at that time.March, Jiangbei, Huai'an.Because of its proximity to Xuzhou, all previous invasions of the Qing army must pass through Huai'an, so Huai'an's population and youth suffered the most heavy losses.At this time, the remaining people were no longer able to cultivate the land of Huai'an, so in this area, Jianghuai Cotton had the most estates and the largest.Here, the largest manor, stretches for more than ten miles.For these estates, Jiang adopts large-scale unified planting, and through the management and incentive system, the efficiency of the original cultivation is improved.Just after Gu Yu, Zhao Ming came to Jiangbei Manor to check the sowing of cotton seedlings.At this time, Zhao Ming, accompanied by Xia Wanchun and He Bin, the manager of Jianghuai Cotton, walked through the well-organized cotton fields, which were full of old people and women who were sown cotton seeds with thin mud and cotton bowls.The success or failure of JAC Cotton this time is related to whether the following large companies can be launched, so Zhao Ming transferred He Bin, who presided over the Europa Company, and asked him to be the manager of JAC Cotton.With the experience of taking care of Europa Company, He Bin took care of JAC Cotton, which is also well organized and quite capable.At this time, he rode a horse and introduced to Zhao Ming as he walked: "Your Highness, now the company has a total of twenty manors in Jiangbei.This estate has 100,000 acres, which is the largest.The estates are distributed along the Huai River and employ more than 6,000 people, most of whom are women. ”"6,000 people sow 100,000 acres, and each person has to plant more than 10 acres, can they be busy?"
Zhao Ming frowned and said with some worry.He Bin said: "There is no problem for the time being.According to His Royal Highness's wishes, the minister made a special mold, and the people first reconciled the mud, and then used grinding tools to make small mud bowls, and finally put the cotton on the mud bowls, sprinkled some dung, covered with thatch, and sowed quickly.If there is not enough manpower when the seedlings are moved, the company will hire another group of workers temporarily. ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, "Hmm!
It is cost-effective to care about how many people, you can calculate it yourself, but you can't be too tired of the people, after all, most of them are women and the elderly!
”At this time, Zhao Ming turned over and dismounted and came to the ground.A group of hired workers, who had just laid a bowl of cotton seedlings on one side, covered them with thatch, and sat on the edge of the ridge to rest.Zhao Ming and his entourage were all wearing civilian clothes, but the people hurriedly got up when they saw it, and He Bin hurriedly greeted: "Don't be nervous, this is His Royal Highness the Regent, come and see the situation in the cotton field." ”Zhao Ming sat on the ridge and beckoned the people: "Sit down, who is the foreman!"
”An old man stepped forward and bowed, "Little old man is exactly!"
”Zhao Ming asked him to sit next to him and handed him some dry food, but the old man held it in his hand, but he didn't eat it.Zhao Ming asked with a smile: "Fellow countryman, are you still used to working on the manor?"
”The old man nodded hurriedly, "Get used to it!"
Habit!
Xiao Lao'er leased the land to the company, and the company would pay rent every year.There are additional rewards for good benefits.Xiao Lao'er is now working in the company again, and he still gets paid every month, and everyone hopes that the manor will have a bumper harvest this year!
”Zhao Ming smiled when he heard this, and Xia Wanchun also listened carefully, as the head of the stock exchange, he must understand the current situation of Jianghuai Cotton before he dared to let Jianghuai Cotton sell its shares.Otherwise, if you put on all kinds of garbage, it will only harm the people.…… In the south, after the internal strife in the Ming court ended, the regent Zhao Ming was busy restoring the local area and planning a new policy.In the north, the Zhou State, which had been established for two years, also made new moves after the foundation gradually stabilized.Four years ago, the Manchu Qing Dynasty suffered great turmoil and was divided into Eastern and Western Qings, which not only weakened the strength of the Manchus, but also caused Mongolia to part ways with the Qing.Today, the Mongol tribes have broken away from the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and are divided into several tribes such as Horqin and Chahar.Due to the separation of ways with the Manchus, the Manchus no longer sent supplies to Mongolia, and in the past two years, the Mongolian departments often waved their troops south to plunder.In the autumn of last year, the first part of Monan Mongolia united with Moxi Mongolia, detoured to Ningxia, and entered the territory of Zhou.At that time, Wu Sangui's army gathered in Lantian and peeked into Huguang, but the Mongols fought in from behind, jumped over Longshan, and approached the Weihe Plain.This made Wu Sangui furious, determined to take revenge, clear the border troubles, and at the same time intended to subjugate the Mongols, expand the territory to the west, and strengthen the Zhou state.The Hetao Plain, also known as the Plug Jiangnan.Qin placed the nine plains, and the Han placed Shuofang, controlling a fertile land of water and grass.However, over the past dynasties, there are not many Central Plains dynasties that can control the Hetao, and the dynasty is slightly weakened, and the Hetao will be occupied by the Hu people.At this time, the Hetao was in the hands of the Mongols, and Wu Sangui protected Guanzhong, and at the same time in order to force the Mongols to submit, he personally commanded an army of 50,000 and entered the Hetao.()
