Chapter 380 The Uniqueness of the Industrial Party Since Cheng Jingxian of She County, Huizhou invested 60,000 taels of silver, invested in Liaonan University, occupied a hundred percent of the shares of Liaonan University, and obtained the status of a member of the Liaonan Parliament, as a businessman, Cheng Jingxian was not wrong, he almost let go of his business, and devoted himself to becoming his Liaonan councilor.Cheng Jingxian is not without his own business, on the contrary, his business is very large, for example, Cheng Ji's warehouse, about one-third of the sea salt, as much as one million stones, sold to Cheng Jingxian, through the process of the company, sold to Jianghuai or Lingnan region, for the basic plate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang salt merchants, Huizhou businessmen do not dare to pull teeth.In addition to the salt business, there is also a timber business, and more than 20 animal mills, which can provide the processing of 500,000 stone potato flour, and it is said that these businesses should keep Cheng Jingxian busy without touching the ground.In fact, he now cares about the process of his own business, and is very busy attending various meetings in front of his parliamentarians.Within the Industrial Party, regardless of one's origin, one's academic qualifications, whether one is a scholar, a scholar, or a talent, or even a student, is qualified to compete for the title of official.For example, Zhang Guodong, the magistrate of Yongkang County, according to Zhang Guodong's subordinate manager Zhang Gufeng, Zhang Guodong is a member of the Huayang Society, and he used his identity to secretly report the movements in southern Liaoning to the Huayang Society.After nearly three months of investigation by Xuan Yingwei, Zhang Guodong was finally captured, and under the instruction of Shen Mingze, more than a dozen officials of the Liaoning Southern Assembly impeached Zhang Guodong for his unfilial piety to the imperial court.This is not a slander, Zhang Guodong's biological mother died early, and his father Zhang Zhensheng married a stepmother Xu, this stepmother Xu was very domineering, and treated him harshly when Zhang Guodong was a teenager.After Zhang Zhen's death, Xu often bullied Zhang Guodong's wife Tian while Zhang Guodong was not at home.After Zhang Guodong knew the details, he cut Xu's use, Xu was very dissatisfied, this matter was only a family problem, however, he was afraid of going online, so under the impeachment of members of the Industrial Party, Zhang Guodong could only resign.As a result, Yongkang County vacated the Zhangyin County Order, and Cheng Jingxian saw the opportunity, and he decided to work hard to become the first magistrate of the county.Cheng Jingxian also figured out Quanxu's routine of governing southern Liaoning, to be a palm seal official like other prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely not possible, the four prefectures of southern Liaoning, there are the assessment standards of the state, the assessment standards of the county and the county, and the mayor of the town has the assessment standards of the mayor, these assessment standards are completely different from the assessment standards of the imperial court, and are divided into five parts: grain production, industrial production, market economy, business taxation and people's livelihood projects.After a few days of meetings, Cheng Jingxian also took the time to have a brief contact with 21 town mayors, five factory representatives, five business representatives, 11 peasant representatives, and 11 worker representatives in Yongkang County.The workers' representatives hoped that they could get better food and higher wages, while the farmers' representatives hoped that grain could be sold more expensively, that fertilizer would be cheaper, and that grain processing fees would be lower.As for the representatives of the merchants, they hoped that the taxes would be reduced, the representatives of the factories also hoped that the taxes would be reduced, and the representatives of the mayors hoped that the county would provide strong support for the development of the towns.The interests of all parties are different and contradictory, how to balance all parties, this is how Cheng Jingxian can successfully get enough support and get the new magistrate of the county.As a businessman, Cheng Jingxian knows very well that it is absolutely possible to reduce taxes, and the whole family army will spend as much as 2.3 million taels of silver on next year's military expenditure, and it is necessary to expand eight warships with 10,000 materials, as well as increase artillery, guns and other equipment.With Quan Xu here, whoever wants to reduce taxes is looking for death, and the requirements of factory representatives and business representatives cannot be met at all, so he can only seek the support of peasant representatives, workers' representatives, and mayors of various towns.Cheng Jingxian felt that if he wanted to win the election in Yongkang County, he had to lobby in all aspects, so he invited four experienced and eloquent masters to help him compete.Just when Cheng Jingxian was discussing the selection with the masters, the doorman came over and said, "Master, Master Chen Kui Chen asks to see you!"
”Cheng Jingxian didn't dare to be careless.The Huizhou Business Alliance, like the Jinzhou Business Alliance, also has a core first-echelon family, and the Huizhou Business Alliance is the six families of Chen, Hu, Li, Jiang, Cheng and Zhang.Shexian Cheng is a rising star, ranking low in the Huizhou Business League, not at the top, so Cheng Jingxian hopes that he can drill into the camp and successfully break into the nascent group of the Industrial Party."
Please!"
Not for a long time, as one of the three generations of core children of the Chen family, Chen Kui came to Cheng Jingxian, Chen Kui is slightly older than Cheng Jingxian, Mo is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, his appearance is not good, he looks very honest, if he thinks that Chen Kui is a kind person, then he will eat even the scum left."
Brother Cheng Shi!""
Brother Chen, please take a seat!"
Cheng Jingxian looked at Chen Kui and said with a smile: "When did Brother Chen come to Liaonan?"
”"It's been a while!"
Chen Kui held the tea bowl, looked at Cheng Jingxian and said with a smile: "One step is slow, one step is slow, I missed the best opportunity for the development of southern Liaoning!"
”Chen Kui actually came to southern Liaoning as early as three months ago, that is, when Quan Xu had just arrived at Meituo Lake, and he also wanted to learn from Cheng Jingxian, take 60,000 taels of silver, act as a stepping stone, and infiltrate the Southern Liaoning Council.It's just a pity that Shen Mingze ignored him at all."
Is Brother Chen still used to living in southern Liaoning?"
Cheng Jingxian smiled faintly: "Cheng still has three points of thin noodles in southern Liaoning, if Brother Chen is not used to anything, please say it directly!"
”"No, no!"
Chen Kui smiled and said: "Southern Liaoning is a good place, the customs here, the food here, and the humanistic atmosphere here are all fascinating, and I have a very good time here." ”Indeed, as Chen Kui said, the four prefectures of southern Liaoning were slaughtered by Nurhachi more than once, and the wealthy families and gentry families in Liaodong were basically killed, so in this, there is no gentry and wealthy family that can stand outside the rules, of course, because Quan Xu proposed that the soldiers, farmers, workers, merchants, and soldiers are all equal, this is the place where the merchants and merchants are the most discriminatory in the entire Ming Dynasty.Moreover, there is no need to be like other places in the three capitals and thirteen provinces, where businessmen need to be people with their tails between their legs, as long as you have money, let alone wear silk and make a carriage with two horses, even if it is a carriage with four horses, no one cares about you.Chen Kui sighed and said: "It's good here, it's just that there is no suitable deal, Brother Cheng, can you help me introduce me, Chen is going to open a paper workshop in southern Liaoning and invest 100,000 taels of silver!"
”"I don't know who Brother Chen wants to introduce?""
Xiu Wubo?""
It's not a coincidence!"
Cheng Jingxian smiled bitterly: "If three months ago, Brother Chen could become a guest of the Xiuwu Mansion with 100,000 taels of silver, but now, the old man of Xiuwu Bo doesn't have this kung fu!"
”"Didn't you hear that Uncle Xiu Wubo came back for a while?""
That's right, it's just that Xiu Wubo is receiving the Dutch!"
Cheng Jingxian got up and stood by the window, pointed to the building complex as red as fire in the distance, and said, "Actually, Brother Chen doesn't have to look for me, if you want to see Uncle Xiu Wu, don't be so troublesome, do you see the arch under the mountain?"
There is the attendant room of the Guards Brigade, if you want to see Xiu Wubo, you only need to make an appointment there, leave someone to wait, as long as Xiu Wubo is free, when you want to summon you, you will be notified!
”Chen Kui looked at Cheng Jingxian suspiciously.Cheng Jingxian had already picked up the tea.This has a name, called serving tea and sending guests.Cheng Jingxian is indeed the one who takes advantage of the big advantage, because in addition to him, other businessmen also want to enter the parliamentary center, and can only serve as representatives, not councilors.A member of parliament is a person who has been elected or has made a bill, while a representative is only a representative, with only eyes and ears, and can hear, but has no right to speak.As an upstart in southern Liaoning, he Cheng Jingxian is no longer the same as the original Cheng Jingxian, not to mention, as a member of the Industrial Party, he is a party outside the party.The Industrial Party is different from the Huayang Society, and the members of the Huayang Society can be members of the Fushe Society, members of the Donglin Party, members of the Eunuch Party, or Jin merchants.As long as Huayang Club can use you, you can win over.However, the Industrial Party is unique, it does not accept part-time jobs from any organization or group, and Huizhou businessmen are actually also an organization, and Cheng Jingxian must enter the core of the Industrial Party and cannot have too close relations with Huizhou businessmen.Although, since he became a shareholder of Liaoning University, the six families of Chen, Hu, Li, Jiang, Cheng, and Zhang have all been preparing to invest in the grain production, processing, winemaking, salt, and paper industries in southern Liaoning, especially Jiang Quansheng invested 200,000 taels of silver to build a shipyard.However, they can only participate in the meetings held in the conference center as representatives of manufacturers, and they are not qualified to become parliamentarians.Actually, Cheng Jingxian didn't guess right, Quan Xu did not meet the Dutch, but coaxed the child in Xiuwubo's mansion and acted as a father.Quan Xu seems to have an alternative habit of being a daddy, there has never been a shortage of servants and servants in Uncle Xiuwu's mansion, as long as Quan Xu is willing to need, he can find thousands of people in southern Liaoning to serve him.However, Quan Xu would rather wipe the child's face and coax the child by himself.In Quan Xu's view, the richer the family, the more important it is to pay attention to the relationship between parents and children, and not to raise children into cold-blooded animals without feelings.The three children of Panorama Mu, Panorama Ran, and Panorama Yang are all treated the same in Quan Xu's heart, and they are well cared for and pampered.Even if she was rubbed with snot bubbles by Quanjingmu's snot, Quan Xu, who has always loved cleanliness, was not angry, but took a handkerchief and wiped her little face for Quanjingmu."
Lord, it's almost, those Dutchmen are in a hurry!"
Quan Xu nodded and said, "That's right, inform them, let them come over tomorrow!"
