They resolutely cannot allow Boss Ming to be re-elected.

Once Boss Ming is re-elected, many of them will suffer by then.

In the past five years, because of the needs of the times, he is needed to be a strong figure to be able to punish traitors and do some ruinous things under the sudden change in the general environment.

Just like Kangxi chose Yongzheng at the beginning.

There is something to say about changing fourteen to four, or that he saw Qianlong and liked Qianlong or something.

This is all folk theory, all to fight Yongzheng and ruin Yongzheng's reputation.

Kangxi's neglect of government in old age directly led to the decline of the Qing Empire, and it was seen that the Qing Dynasty was about to decay day by day. And Kangxi has so many sons, only Yongzheng has the ability to really implement the new policy and solve the rule of officials.

This is the reason why Kangxi chose Yongzheng.

A digression, of course. It is said that the Qing Dynasty died in Qianlong.

The so-called prosperous Kangqian era is nothing but false prosperity.

Actually, this is not very authentic.

Speaking of which, it is also reasonable to be said to be the prosperous era of Kangqian.

Of course, Qianlong's defeat is obvious to all.

However, why did the Qianlong Dynasty not lose the industry, among them, there is a very key talent: He Shen.

It is said that He Shen is a big corrupt official.

In fact, from a historical analysis, He Shen may not necessarily be the legendary big corrupt official.

Of course, He Shen is indeed greedy, but the income from his corruption and his business income are only a drop in the bucket.

First of all, Heshen is talent.

He Shen is not only proficient in Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian, and Tibetan languages, but also reads through the four books and five classics, and is truly full of economy.

Moreover, in "Iron Tooth and Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan", it is said that Ji Xiaolan protected "Dream of Red Mansions", but in fact, on the contrary, it was He Shen who kept "Dream of Red Mansions".

This banned book at that time could be preserved, and it was by no means something that the timid and fearful Ji Xiaolan could do or dare to do. It was He Shen who had the courage to preserve it.

Only then did he have the four famous works of later generations.

As for business, in those days, everyone liked to hoard land and rent it to tenant farmers to collect rent. This was the most enthusiastic thing for the owners of almost the entire feudal dynasty.

They used their power to seize all kinds of tricks and then rent out the land. In that way, in the future, you will be able to live in peace and stability.

This is a routine that works in almost all feudal dynasties.

This is also the reason why the feudal dynasty had to fall to a certain point.

Because, the big landlords annexed all the land, and in the end most people had no land. You can only go to the big landlord to rent land. In this good harvest year, everyone is happy and fine.

After all, ordinary people can also support their own families, and the landlord also has a rent collection, and everyone is happy.

However, when the year is bad and the tenant farmer's harvest is not good, the big landlord still wants so much rent.

Naturally, the contradiction came.

Initially, it was to borrow money to get by. Then, it is the sale of sons and daughters.

After that, there is only one way to rebel.

And what about this weather, one or two hundred years a cycle. At this point, when everyone's harvest is not good, they can naturally only rebel.

This is also the reason why the feudal dynasty did not live long.

But unlike Shen, he doesn't want the ground.

He helps people to do things, all for silver, not land.

He Shen is very shrewd. He invested his money.

Heshen has a wide range of investment projects, including: finance, real estate, mining, logistics, medicine and other industries. He owned 12 pawnshops in Beijing, and also operated an account office, a porcelain shop, a pharmacy, an antique shop, a bow and arrow shop, a grain store, a restaurant, a bar house, a lime kiln, and so on.

In addition to these, he has also dabbled in the logistics industry, if placed today, Heshen can definitely be compared to SF Express, YTO and other logistics leading enterprises. He had 80 wagons for transportation. The rate of return in these industries is much higher than that of ground rent. Even for those real estates, most of them choose to rent them out as a way to make a profit. He Shen has 35 rental houses in Beijing alone, with a total of more than 1,000 rooms, and the annual rent collection is also a stable income.

And He Shen is bold in doing business and dares to invest, and it is very risky to do mining during the Qing Dynasty, because the investment is large, the return is slow, and the management is complicated, so many rich people dare not dabble. But He Shen did the opposite, he once opened coal mines in Mentougou and Xiangshan, and he can indeed tell people with confidence: "I have a mine at home!"

We all know that coal mining was an absolute necessity during the industrial revolution, which shows that Heshen's business mind is avant-garde.

He Shen can not only make money, but also be very shrewd about wealth management, such as borrowing money. He Shen carried forward the style of "relatives and brothers settle accounts", regardless of relatives or friends, borrowing money must be IOUs, interest, and collateral.

For example, He Shen's maternal grandfather once borrowed 2,000 taels of silver from He Shen, and he was worried that his grandfather would not be able to repay the money in time, so he forced the old man to take his family's land deed as a mortgage. He Shen's own uncle once borrowed 15,000 taels of silver from He Shen, and He Shen gave his uncle an interest rate of one cent per month, and finally the money was increased to 21,000 taels with interest. It can be seen that He Shen is shrewd in wealth management.

After He Shen became Emperor Qianlong's right-hand man, he also brought his business talent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a perennial imperial institution that was unable to make ends meet, which always gave the emperor a headache. Those ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs do not know how to operate at all, and many of the businesses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs outside are losing money. In the 41st year of Qianlong, not long after He Shen took up his post in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he gave a new look to this poorly managed government department, not only making up for the fiscal deficit, but also making a profit. Because of Heshen's outstanding ability, Qianlong sent him to serve as the tax supervisor of Chongwenmen, and under his management, the tax revenue of this tax customs increased significantly, and ranked among the top few tax customs in the country.

Why did Jiaqing kill Heshen, but Jiaqing Dynasty was so poor? It was because they closed down a series of foreign banks and the like that Heshen had opened, and completely closed the country and locked the country.

Before this, although it was also the case in the Qianlong Dynasty. But with Heshen, he still maintains business contacts with foreign countries.

Emperor Jiaqing was completely shut down and completely blocked the Qing Dynasty.

Since then, the Qing Dynasty has officially come to an end.

Jiaqing has also become a poor emperor.

The emperor in the back, that one is not as good as the other.

The topic returned to Boss Ming.

If he is re-elected, he will be a huge threat to everyone. It would even be a disaster for everyone.

Then everyone's good life is not easy.

And Yingcheng becoming a special zone in Zhili will be the biggest help for Boss Ming.

Therefore, this time, no matter what, they want to prevent Yingcheng from becoming a special zone of Zhili.

In fact, this time, Yingcheng was also a coincidence and became the focus of the dispute between the two factions.
