Chapter 1127 - The Big Dealer (Asking for Subscription)
"One thousand taels can get 60 taels of interest, and the interest must be calculated from Hongxing for fifteen years...... I'm afraid this stock can't be sent, right? ”
"yes, the land of this New World isn't worth much, is it? Isn't it said that if you go empty-handed, you can get a piece of land? ”
"Ruling and leading the government, why don't we hand a piece of music to Your Majesty together and change it again?"
"Yes, yes, yes, change it again, do you want to give more land, or do you want to pay more interest?"
In the council hall of the United States of New Zealand, after listening to Zheng Cai's explanation of the conditions for the issuance of new shares, the parliamentarians began to express different opinions.
Of course, you can't speak casually, you have to raise your hand to speak, just like a primary school student in class - Emperor Zhu is not familiar with the affairs of the parliament, so he held a "primary school student meeting", to speak first raise your hand, and then stand up to speak.
And these "major shareholders" are really kind-hearted, and they are actually speaking for the interests of small shareholders...... Emperor Zhu, who listened to the government in a compartment, was also a little crying and laughing, the major shareholder in the initial stage of capitalism turned out to be also primary, and there was still a lot of room for improvement!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong glanced at Huang Xiaobao, who was also in the compartment, and asked him to go out and shout "The emperor has arrived".
Zhu Cihong's "cubicle listening to politics" was learned from the Ottoman Empire, and this is how the sultan of other people's families played. After Emperor Zhu heard what people said, he thought it was very good, so he took it to the political meeting and used it - his old man is a generation of heroes, what a deterrent! If you want to sit on the throne, it is the momentum of Weijiahai, who dares to speak freely?
So he simply made a small room, drank tea and ate fruit in it while listening to politics, and sometimes he could watch a piece of music or something......
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived, and all officials are welcome!"
As soon as Huang Xiaobao shouted, the "kind-hearted major shareholders" didn't dare to speak, and they all stood up and bowed - still bowed, not kowtowed. Because Zhu Cihong asked people to decorate the council like a classroom, with rows of tables below. It's very inconvenient to kowtow, and I don't know whether to stand on the table or get under the table...... And the rows of tables and chairs are still crowded, what is easy to touch when you want to kneel and kowtow?
"Your Excellency, please Saint Ann!"
One hundred and seventy or eighty parliamentarians (the full number was 200, but there were always people who asked for leave and did not come) and a dozen or so officials of the ruling government bowed to Emperor Zhu and asked for peace.
Zhu Cihong strode to the throne platform, then sat down, looked at the parliamentarians below, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Flat, sit, sit......"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The big guys thanked them, and then they sat down obediently like elementary school students. Emperor Zhu smiled and looked at the rich parliamentarians in red robes - this is the advantage of building a capital in Nanjing, and the emperor Lao Tzu can directly find these big guys to make money!
There are many ways to circle money, but the premise is to find a rich person! Otherwise, it's useless for you to break the sky......
"I have heard all of your questions," Zhu Cihong smiled, "I will not answer first, but I will ask you a few questions." First question, do you know the criteria for granting land to marquis in the United States? ”
Someone immediately raised his hand, Zhu Cihong gave Huang Xiaobao a look, and Huang Xiaobao immediately named Cao Huachun's cheap son Cao Wenbao.
Cao Huachun is now ancient, and he will leave a Houmen!
This Cao Wenbao is now the Marquis of Wu Qingqing, but he did not enter the United States Congress with the "special shares of unpaid share capital" as a nobleman, but subscribed for one special share for 100,000 taels of silver.
The reason why this is the case is because Cao Huachun faded out of politics after arriving in Jiangnan and took his children and nephews to do business. This old man still has two times, seventy and eighty people actually succeeded in starting a business, and set up Cao Ji Silk Shop, Cao Ji Tea House, Cao Ji Grain Shop, and Cao Ji Sauce Garden - not a "high-tech" industry, but it has done a good job, leaving Cao Wenbao with a large family business.
Although Cao Wenbao is a marquis, because he is the son of Cao Huachun, he always lacks confidence, so he "bought" the United States Council, and there will be a meeting, rain or shine, and he will not miss any opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the standard for the Marquis of the United States to grant land is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, both of which are 2,500 acres."
Zhu Cihong has a relatively tight control over the scale of granting land to Xungui. Only the county king's family can get 5,000 acres of land, and in addition to the land, the treatment that the county king can get is a royal mansion, and there is nothing else.
In other words, if this county king has no official position and is just a prince, then he can only guard a palace and eat rent...... Zhu Cihong's fifth brother, Zhu Cihuan, the king of Chongqing County, is now an empty county king, and his family guards 5,000 acres of land to collect rent, and his life is tight.
Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "A marquis is only 2,500 acres of land, is it a little less?" The United States is no better than the Ming Dynasty, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the land cannot be rented at a good price. Can a mere 2,500 acres of land support a Houmen? I'm afraid it's not enough, right? Cao Wenbao, what do you say? ”
"It's not enough, it's definitely not enough......," Cao Wenbao shook his head again and again, "Why do you have to get twenty or thirty thousand acres?" Moreover, we have to manage it well, use the rotation of grass fields, raise more livestock, and build water conservancy. ”
Zhu Cihong nodded: "Your family is a baron, right?" How many fields is the baron? There is a big gap in leaving 20,000 or 30,000 acres, right? How are you going to make it up? ”
"Subscribe for ordinary shares," Cao Wenbao understood what Zhu Cihong meant, "subscribe for 20,000 shares!" ”
Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "There are still 29.98 million shares left to raise...... Hurry up, everybody! If you miss the opportunity now, there will be no such cheap land in the future! ”
Someone in the audience raised their hands again, Zhu Cihong glanced at the person, and said with a smile: "It's Yun Shangqian, what do you have to ask?" ”
Raising his hand is Yun Shangqian, the chief treasurer of the Salt Merchants Bank, who was originally the manager of the big salt merchants in Yangzhou, and took the lead in taking refuge when Zhu Cihong rectified the salt affairs, and later has been working in the Salt Merchants Bank, working diligently for more than ten years, and now he has become the chief treasurer of the Salt Merchants Bank, so he naturally has a little savings.
But being rich but not expensive always makes people feel uneasy!
"Your Majesty," Yun Shangqian asked, "do you mean that this 1,000 taels of United States stock will go up?" ”
Zhu Cihong smiled and asked: "Shangqian, you are the chief shopkeeper of the salt trading bank, don't you know?" ”
"Minister, your subordinate is reckless."
Zhu Cihong said: "One or two pieces of silver and one acre of land!" What else can you lose? Besides...... Are you really just going to give your son a United States Baron plus a few hundred acres of land? Don't you think it's a little less? I bought all the special shares of 100,000 taels of shares, why am I not willing to pay tens of thousands of taels to buy special shares for land? Will you, the chief shopkeeper of the salt trading house, settle accounts? ”
That's right!
The nobles and tycoons present all felt that Emperor Zhu's words made sense!
The big money is out, can you still buy more land for the gentlemen?
Emperor Zhu said: "In addition, this thousand acres of land is not just something that you can buy...... All the officials and people of the Ming Dynasty can buy it. What is the current price of land in Jiangnan? One thousand taels of silver is dozens of acres of land. How many shares of the family property of dozens of acres of land can be divided? It's better to sell it and exchange it for the shares of the United States of New Continent, you can eat 60 taels of interest on the side of Daming, and when the situation of New Island opens, there are 1,000 acres of land, and 10 children and grandchildren are enough! Isn't it? ”
That's right!
Now the rich peasants who have dozens of acres of land in the south of the Yangtze River, many of whom have a group of children and grandchildren, is the land enough? Is it going to be sold to exchange for a large piece of land in New Zealand?
Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "How many shares are only issued this time?" 30,000 shares...... I'm afraid you people will have to eat half of it, and what is enough for the remaining 15,000 shares? There are no 15,000 people in the Ming Dynasty who want to buy a piece of land for their children and grandchildren in the Americas? Therefore, the common stock of this United States will definitely rise! ”
He didn't finish his words, and the rest was: If it can't rise for a while, I will fry it and keep it to the sky! When it goes up, it will issue new shares at a high price...... Another 50 million taels, it should be about the same!
