Chapter 353: Splitting the Imperial Merchants (Part II)
The atmosphere in the canopy hall was a little depressing.
Zhu Yunwen knew at a glance that it was definitely his own words, which caused some ambiguity.
It was also this group of people who made themselves too ruthless in the past few years, and they really had some shadows.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Zhu Yunwen really didn't care about the silver in the pockets of his relatives, whether it was the identity of the emperor in his previous life or in this life, he had no concept of money, and he was not interested in money at all.
Even most of the provisions of the anti-monopoly bill have been rejected by Zhu Yunwen himself and he does not plan to implement them.
An era should have an era system, and there is no such thing as the most perfect, only the most suitable.
He just wanted to have a meal with this group of clan relatives, talk about family affairs and reorganize the responsibilities and identities of each branch in the imperial merchant by the way.
In the past, the big guys divided the accounts at the end of the year, and how much silver was on the plate of the Chamber of Commerce, everyone handed over thirty percent to Zhu Yunwen's internal money, and the rest were divided equally.
This is partly discouraged.
For example, the King of Xiang, the King of Shu, and the King of Zhou are not interested in doing business, and they basically don't ask a word all year round, except for showing up once when they reach out for money.
In recent years, how the imperial merchants have developed, Zhu Zhi is basically in control, and the king of Liao is a lazy character, although these years are no longer as nostalgic for fireworks as a few years ago, but he is not a master who actively struggles.
If you can lie down, you will never sit, and if you can sit in a sedan chair, you will never ride a horse.
If they continue to raise like this, relying on the size and absolute monopoly of the imperial merchants, they can still make money lying down, what is the difference between raising a group of pigs and tying a few dogs?
Lost the enthusiasm of capital.
"Relying on the blessing of Your Majesty's kindness, the situation of each family has been okay and passable over the years."
Zhu Zhi couldn't figure out Zhu Yunwen's thoughts, and was a little cautious and modest.
He didn't blush, and he wiped off millions of annual income with a passable sentence.
"That's good, that's good."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and nodded again and again, looking very happy.
"As long as the life of your uncle's family can become more and more prosperous, I am much relieved in my heart, grandpa left us with such a family business, and it can't be dusted in my hands."
The big guys who said this passage are complicated in their hearts.
Over the years, the relationship between the clan relatives and Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, has been tense, and both sides have their own reasons, but if you really calm down and think about it, you feel that it is not necessary.
These princes touched a few times in their hearts, and felt that Zhu Yunwen's nephew had indeed been good over the years.
It is true that the fiefdom is gone, the hardcore crops are gone, and even the last privilege of the vassal king: the establishment of the open government, with exclusive guards, servants, and pomp and honor, these are even more clean.
But the benefits are also obvious.
These vassal kings in Beijing don't have to worry about the emperor suspecting them at all, and they send Xichang and Jinyi Wei to keep an eye on them every day, let alone house arrest.
The whole of Nanjing, or the whole of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to the two places of filial piety and Fengyang ancestral tomb, which have to be reported before going to the palace, they all want to come.
The emperor has always welcomed people from his family.
In addition to the fact that there are no restrictions on personal activities, the achievements of the imperial merchants established by the emperor out of his own pocket over the years are also obvious to all, and each family has made a lot of money, and his life can be described as quite luxurious.
If it were their father, who was slamming the door, and seeing them wasting money, food and wealth like this, I am afraid that they would be strangled to death with one hand.
Zhu Yunwen has never asked.
To put it bluntly, as long as the clansmen do not violate the law of the country and do not do things that are consumed by the desire for profit and harm to the country and the people, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, is still quite enlightened and generous.
"Running a country is hard work, allowing... Your Majesty, you have done a very good job. ”
Zhu Zhi still felt awkward in the end, so he simply reverted to his original name.
"The affairs of the family, with the fourth brother watching, will not block Your Majesty anymore."
Hearing this, Zhu Di's face twitched.
Did this little brother drink too much, and there was such a demolition?
However, Zhu Di still agreed, and just as he was about to pat his chest to make a guarantee, he saw Zhu Yunwen waving his hand.
"This family banquet is not a general's platform, there is no need for any military orders from the big guys, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future.
I may also be biased against others because of the immorality of a few people, you are all my uncles, and in the past few years, I was busy with the affairs of the country, and I rarely got involved in the affairs of the family.
Now that I am free, I plan to talk to you about the future development of our old Zhu family. ”
At this point, even if the topic is introduced, Zhu Yunwen didn't plan to sell it to them, so he got straight to the point.
"I plan to divide the imperial merchants into several parts and take charge of the business of several provinces.
You each branch of the discussion, several joint to receive a share, in the future there is no need to hold a meeting in the general meeting in the city of Nanjing, the income at the end of the year, after the tax department has completed the audit of the accounts, they will divide it, as for my share, from three percent to two. and the extra will be given to you. ”
At this moment, the Huagai Hall was completely silent.
The emperor finally showed his true face of Lushan and was going to make a move against the emperor.
However, this reform is not the so-called smashing the table and smashing the cake and destroying the interests of others, as in the past.
Because the interests of each family have not been lost.
It's just that the way of grabbing wealth has changed.
In the past, a plate full of rice was eaten, and each family held a bowl and ate from this plate.
Now, the bowl is saved.
Zhu Yunwen broke the plate, and each family took one of the broken plates, and ate the rice inside.
Even in order not to cause resistance, Zhu Yunwen also cut off the one that belonged to him and divided it.
How much the big guys can earn in the future is really up to their own ability.
If you don't know how to do business and make less money, then you can watch other families make a fortune and stare at it, and your eyes will be red.
The big pot rice system has become a separate package production.
The benefits of this are obvious, the big guys have their own 'turf', then conflicts of interest will arise, promoting business competition.
It is impossible for them to unite with the outside world and join forces to squeeze out the interests of local chambers of commerce and undermine the non-governmental self-operated economy.
Those who lack ability will be quickly eliminated in the tide of capital, and the so-called whale falls into all things.
Once the split imperial merchants are eliminated by the local self-operated chamber of commerce, how many self-operated merchants can be supported with the huge size and market share of the imperial merchants.
The road ahead will depend on the clansmen themselves.
"I'm going to split the Imperial Merchants into five parts.
Moting Sandu Husuo, Liaodong, Guanxi, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Beiping are counted as one.
Huguang, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Jiaozhi are counted as one copy.
Nanzhili, Henan, Shandong, and Jiangxi are counted as one copy.
Fujian and Guangdong are counted as one copy.
Overseas is counted as one. ”
This split was calculated by Zhu Yunwen according to the amount of revenue of each province of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce last year.
It's a relatively average value.
And after the division, Zhu Yunwen directly ordered Zhu Zhi's general.
"Uncle Zhi will partner with the fourth, fifth, and sixth uncles in the future, and be in charge of the area of Nanzhili."
Take a look at the general that Zhu Yunwen ordered.
Zhu Di, Zhu Hu, Zhu Zhen and Zhu Zhi teamed up to stay in this Nanzhili?
Isn't that just letting Zhu Zhi have the final say.
Zhu Di is the chief of the General Staff, and Zhu Zhen has also eaten in the General Staff in recent years, after all, he grew up in the small army, and the relationship with the Fifth Military Government is needless to say.
The two soldiers took Zhu Hu, who was devoted to health preservation, and asked the master of medicine, how could anyone do business?
Although Nanzhili is hung on Henan and Shandong, two provinces with poor commercial taxes, there is still a Jiangxi in the end.
The income is not too much and not too little, and the four people are just right.
There is nothing left to provoke.
When a group of people saw Zhu Yunwen and began to order, they understood that the emperor's opinion on this matter was no longer indisputable, and what was left for them was nothing more than how to divide it.
No one can look down on the areas demarcated by the provinces.
There is only one piece in everyone's eyes:
Overseas!
