Chapter 53 Company
Unconsciously, the autumn chrysanthemums were blooming everywhere, and Emperor Jinghe had already begun to prepare for the trip back to Beijing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the Xie family lived comfortably every day, the excerpts of post-disaster reconstruction in various parts of the south, and those things that needed to be solved urgently in the court, did not come to the emperor without a day of unhappiness.
Coupled with the issue of patent rights raised by Han Qing, Chu Xu and others studied for many days and finally drafted a relatively comprehensive plan. After returning to Beijing, the Ministry of Household Affairs prepared for the establishment of the Department of Commerce and Commerce, under which the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Patent Office were set up, and a trading company was set up under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was jointly funded by the National Treasury and the Imperial Private Treasury to operate various branches that the Prime Minister would set up in various places in the future.
Han Qing couldn't help but be surprised when she heard about it, but she didn't expect that with her encouragement, many departments and bureaus that would only exist in later generations appeared in advance.
She took a closer look and found that the word company originated from what Confucius said, "the public, the wealth of several people, the manager, and the meaning of operation." The meaning is to gather the wealth of many people and operate together.
However, the company mentioned today is still fundamentally different from the company of later generations, the main thing is that it is not for profit, and it can be regarded as a charity.
But Han Qing knew that in the future, this huge group company would definitely bring huge profits to the royal family and the country. At that time, I wonder if it will be able to stick to its original intention when it was founded, with the purpose of building the country and serving the people's livelihood.
In the past few days, the emperor and Xie Heng have been sending jobs to Chu Yuan, Xie Yi, and Xie Yan, and the three of them have been drafting development plans, organizational structures and legal regulations in the Burrow Mountain House all day long.
This morning, Han Qing read "Pipe" with her grandfather for an hour, saying that she was a grandfather to teach her granddaughter enlightenment, but in fact, Xie Heng took Han Qing to play when he was studying, and the two of them had a discussion, which gave Xie Heng a lot of inspiration.
Han Qing said, "Grandfather, it can be seen that if the politics and economy are advanced, you can enrich the country and strengthen the army, it is said that our Daqi is now considered to be the dynasty of all countries and dominates one side, but it is difficult to say whether it will still be able to maintain its lead in the future." ”
"How many dynasties have risen and fallen in my Xie family, this is the inevitable process of history, and the fall of a dynasty is fundamentally corrupted from itself. Fortunately, several generations of emperors of Daqi have been enlightened, not only diligent for the people, but also good at knowing people. "Xie Heng was born in a family, and he looked at the rise and fall of the royal family very lightly.
"Grandfather is right, if the Great Qi court has always been able to have Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers, and the national strength is strong, the surrounding barbarians will naturally not dare to attack. However, if technology cannot be developed quickly, no matter how capable a monarch is, he will not be able to resist foreign insults. Han Qing couldn't help but think of the humiliating history of the later generations.
"The country naturally has spies sent abroad for a long time, and at present, in terms of troops and weapons, I am still superior." Xie Heng took a sip of tea and said leisurely.
"Ah Qing feels that our future rival must be from the West."
"Aqing, where did this idea come from?"
"From the ocean-going merchant ships. Qing felt that a country could build merchant ships that could cross the oceans, not only along the coastline of the continent to our Daqi, but also to other continents that we had never heard of, and their science and technology had left us far behind. If we say that our country also has merchant ships that can cross the ocean, why haven't we heard that other continents have also been discovered, it can be seen that our merchants go to sea to venture out to make profits, and they are not so interested in exploring the unknown world. ”
Xie Heng felt that his granddaughter's thinking was not wrong, and her dealings with foreigners were also the result of lifting the century-old maritime ban of the previous dynasty after the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty. Those countries that are said to be distant and small in land have not been interested in learning much about the imperial courts of the Great Qi dynasties.
Xie Heng gradually felt that although the little granddaughter's thinking jump can be described as imaginative, but she can always provide many ideas that ordinary people can't think of, if the granddaughter is a man, she is a hundred times stronger than the two grandsons of the Xie family, and she is a talent for calculation.
It's just that Chu Xu and Han Qing haven't been in contact for a long time, and they both look at Han Qing differently. Suddenly, he said to Xie Heng, "It's a pity that A-Qing is a daughter, if it is a boy, he will be able to make a great career in the future." Suddenly, he said, "It's a pity that my Chu family doesn't have a boy of the right age, a girl like Aqing is panicked even if she is a queen." Suddenly, he took Xie Heng's hand and said solemnly, "The teacher promised me that in the future, Aqing will definitely discuss with me." ”
The old man couldn't help but think about Chu Xu's actions anymore, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "If A-Qing develops all the way like this, depending on which family she marries, the royal family will not be at ease." "But you can't restrict Aqing's growth because of the fear of being jealous of the royal family.
Xie Heng finally smiled and said, "Now the prince and your two elder brothers get up early and stay late all day because of your proposal, and they can't even spare time to travel to West Lake together when they said a while ago." Now that you are proposing this subject, it is not a matter of immediate action, so it is better for you to go to your brother's study when you have nothing to do and write some of your own thoughts, which should be your homework. ”
Han Qing tilted her little head and thought about it, anyway, her grandfather's classes were complicated, and it was nothing to leave her such homework. So he nodded and said yes, and went to find a few brothers after class.
Entering the east wing room next to the library building of the Burrowshan Residence, which is a special office for the prince and the two young masters, Han Qing felt very fresh when he saw that the three noble sons who looked like people on weekdays had become crazy scholars with disheveled hair and unclothed clothes.
She pursed her lips and smiled, "My brothers haven't washed their hair and cleaned their faces for a few days, are they pursuing decadent beauty?" My grandfather told me to do my homework here. ”
Chu Yuan's energy is far better than ordinary people because of the exercises he practices, so in addition to his sloppy appearance, his spirit is excellent, "Where did Aqing learn the new term, what is the beauty of decadence, brothers, it's a mess here, you can see where you can pour it out and do your homework." ”
Xie Yan's eyes were dark, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and when he saw Han Qing, he was dissatisfied and said, "Ah Qing, how can you propose such a thing as a patent, the more we think about it now, the more we feel that it is difficult and complicated, and it is almost squeezed dry!" ”
Xie Yi is a fairy-like character on weekdays, but now his eyes are dark, and his lack of spirit also directly affects his mood. He glared at his younger brother angrily, "How simple it is to be an official in your heart, if it is simple, wouldn't everyone be able to do it, why do you have to study hard for ten years." If you can't stand this difficulty, don't take the imperial examination as soon as possible. Now I blame my sister, put you on it! ”
Xie Yan was so disciplined by Xie Yi that he didn't dare to make a sound, and only glanced at Han Qing secretly, Han Qing also knew that the second brother was just joking casually, so he also squeezed his eyebrows at him.
At this time, Chu Yuan came over, picked up Han Qing and sat back at his desk, "Your two brothers are going to fight a lawsuit by themselves, don't you scare us Ah Qing." ”
Xie Yi saw that Xie Yan was rarely honest and obedient, and he couldn't miss the good opportunity to enslave his younger brother, so he took Xie Yan to move books and materials for him. Look, our Young Master Xie is also a black-bellied material.
Here, Han Qing's little face was red, and he didn't know where to look with his eyes, so Uncle Chu neither tied his hair nor shaved his face, his forehead and temples were messy, his cheeks were blue and stubble, and his smoky gray robe was perfunctory and only tied with a brocade belt, and the large opening of the collar revealed the collarbone that was as horizontal as a ridge. The air is full of hormones, there is wood!
Chu Yuan didn't notice Han Qing's abnormality, he only put her on his lap and said, "What homework does A-Qing want to write, how about I help you write it?" ”
Han Qing looked at the books and papers stacked high on Chu Yuan's huge desk, shook his head, and said, "Grandfather let me think for myself." ”
Chu Yuan looked at her serious little appearance and laughed, raised his hand and made a move, Zhao Fuan immediately moved a chair, and made room for Han Qing to place a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Han Qing secretly praised in his heart, look at this well-trained eyesight!
Han Qing pondered for a while before he put pen to paper: "Suggestions on Improving Productivity and Establishing a Far West Trading Company." Han Qingyang is full of joy, as a person who has lived in the afterlife, she is providing a new worldview.
When Han Qing finished writing the draft, Chu Yuan picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but be very surprised, because Han Qing not only proposed to learn the navigation and shipbuilding skills of Westerners, but also advocated sending people to learn their language and knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry.
At the same time, it was proposed to set up a Far West trading company to dump the goods obtained by the Great Qi as a result of overproduction. Establish trading posts in the countries along the route in order to exchange goods and gain access to the scientific and technological achievements of each country. In addition, merchant ships were sent to explore unknown continents.
What surprised Chu Yuan the most was Han Qing's understanding of the company, you must know that they tossed for so many days just to put forward the concept of the company from scratch, judging from the proposal, it seems that for her, the company is an ordinary thing.
"Why did A-Qing propose to establish the Far West Trading Company?"
"There are many reasons, mainly the navigation technology of the West, which has reflected that the technology of those countries is leaving us behind, and after a few years, we will be beaten if we are backward. In addition, with the improvement of Daqi's productive forces, no one buys many of our products that are superfluous, and commodities are only circulated in the country, so how can we develop the economy. Now that the imperial court has a company, it is better for the imperial court to take the lead in selling products to the West than to let the small businessmen of the people only toss in the neighboring countries. ”
Chu Yuan praised, "Ah Qing is right, if you follow this method, I think that overseas trade will become the main source of Daqi's income in the future." However, you need to write these great relationships in front of the proposal and the expected benefits at the end, so that the person reading the proposal will pay attention to it. ”
After hearing this, Han Qing nodded obediently and wrote again. Chu Yuan looked at her little head with a complicated expression, thinking a little sadly, I don't know if my son will be able to catch up with half of Ah Qing's intelligence in the future, looking at the stunned appearance of the eldest emperor's grandson, the throne of the old Chu family is worried.
Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince, like his father Jinghe Emperor, inexplicably has a sense of crisis, but how can it be broken?
