Chapter 76: The Emperor's Mind 2
"According to what you say, it seems that this Yang Jianhui is still quite capable, and he can develop Yang's firm so much by himself, but he is also a rare talent."
After listening to Li Fumin's introduction, Zhu Youxiao found that this Yang Jianhui did have some business acumen. It can be seen from the fact that he formed an alliance of commercial banks, distributed materials in a unified manner, and adjusted prices.
Of course, appreciating and appreciating, Zhu Youxiao is still very angry about some of the things that Yang Jianfei has done, after all, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the people under him will inevitably cause some riots. This is directly connected to the imperial court, and I don't know how many dynasties have been destroyed at the hands of these usually weak and incompetent ordinary people.
Let's talk about Zhu Yuanzhang, who was also an ordinary peasant who simply killed the Mongols across the Eurasian continent. No, Zhu Yuanzhang can't be said to be an ordinary person, what the people say is that at least they can run some food out of the ground to survive, as for Zhu Yuanzhang, he started with a bowl, and it is very likely that he is still a broken bowl.
"But this Yang Jianhui usually does a lot of evil, but he can still live until now, it seems that the ability of the person behind it is not small."
Zhu Youxiao rubbed his chin on the table with his elbows, and said with a meaningful smile.
"Avoiding His Majesty's words, there are many rumors in the market that Cao Jixiang, a student of the Ministry of Rites in the court, is the backer of this person, and has intervened in Dali Temple many times to save him from prison."
Li Fumin told Zhu Youxiao the news he heard, but he quoted the people's message and did not directly point out that Cao Jixiang was Yang Jianhui's backer. After all, Cao Jixiang is also the minister of the court, and Li Fumin is just a small young eunuch, openly accusing the minister of the court of being the backer of private businessmen, even if he is now favored by the emperor, he cannot do so, except for Wei Zhongxian, of course.
"Oh".
Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised, in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, a person who dares to be overbearing in the capital, his backer should be an important person, but he didn't expect that he was just a foreigner from the fifth grade.
However, Zhu Youxiao saw from it that Cao Jixiang, a foreigner from the fifth grade, could actually give face to the Dali Temple of the third grade, and it seems that Cao Jixiang's identity is not ordinary.
"Big companion, what's the situation with this Cao Jixiang."
Zhu Youxiao turned his head and asked Wei Zhongxian, who was standing aside.
Wei Zhongxian, as the eunuch of the celebrant supervisor, is also a part-time Dongchang, a powerful figure who leads Jinyiwei, and is also the spokesperson of Zhu Youxiao's promotion to the court. It can be said that among the ministers in the court, there is no one Wei Zhongxian does not know.
"Emperor, although Cao Jixiang is a member of Wupin, he is still a member of the Donglin Party."
After Wei Zhongxian thought about it, he finally remembered this Cao Jixiang, who was usually very low-key. For Cao Jixiang, Wei Zhongxian doesn't have much hatred, because this person is too low-key, and he usually just follows behind and shouts when he has anything, but once he really encounters something, he will be a turtle with a shrunken head, and he will not confront Wei Zhongxian head-on at all, so Wei Zhongxian will not care too much.
"That's right."
After listening to Wei Zhongxian's introduction, Zhu Youxiao was happy in his heart.
Yes, Cao Jixiang's official position is indeed small enough, and it is not in the eyes of Dali Temple for Zhengsanpin, but his other identity makes Dali Temple can't care less, after all, there are 6 elders in the cabinet now, three of whom are members of the Donglin Party.
"Then do you think Huitong Commercial Bank has joined the Commercial Bank Alliance?"
Zhu Youxiao wanted to inspect Li Fumin and see what his solution to this matter was.
"It's .........".
Li Fumin was a little embarrassed and thought in his heart, whether to join or not to add, if he said to join but the emperor didn't want to join, if he said he didn't join but the emperor wanted to join, he was a little entangled in what kind of idea the emperor had in his heart.
"Rest assured and boldly say, I forgive you for your innocence."
Zhu Youxiao saw Li Fumin's entanglement, and smiled with a kind look on his face.
Seeing Zhu Youxiao, he was relieved to boldly say what he thought in his heart, and Li Fumin didn't care about 3721 and said it directly.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minions think we can join."
Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up, and he straightened his waist, wanting to hear Li Fumin's opinion.
"Your Majesty, Huitong upward movement has just started, all the goods are purchased from other trading houses, and there is no own purchase channel at all, and the other commercial banks in the commercial bank alliance all have their own private purchase channels, if we join, we can get a certain purchase channel."
Li Fumin stopped and looked at Zhu Youxiao, wanting to see Zhu Youxiao's reaction. It's just that at this time, the middle stream really listened with relish, and when he saw Li Fuming stop, he nodded and motioned for Li Fumin to continue.
"Second, once we have obtained the channel for the purchase of goods, according to His Majesty's idea, we want to open the Huitong Commercial Bank in every corner of Daming. But this is a long-term solution, and it will not be completed in a short period of time. I love Search.com
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and after we join, we can use the power of the firm to open our Huitong firm in every corner controlled by the alliance.
Third, although the minions don't know what Yang Jianfei fancied about Huitong Commercial Bank. But the slave knew that if we rejected Yang Jianhui's proposal, it was very likely to be blocked by Yang Jianhui, which would be unfavorable to our Huitong Commercial Branch............."
Li Fumin said all the thoughts in his heart, analyzed the good aspects, and analyzed the bad aspects, and after finishing speaking, Li Fuming gently pursed his lips that were a little dry.
Zhu Youxiao took a breath lightly and nodded towards Li Fumin with great satisfaction.
"Not bad.
You can tell all the pros and cons of joining a business house, it seems that you are careful."
Li Fumin was very excited and stammered, "Your Majesty Xie praises, the slave just did everything he should do, everything is the duty of the slave."
"Well done and bad, I can tell at a glance. I should criticize and reward, and I will not be stingy.
But .........".
Zhu Youxiao suddenly changed his words, "But I don't plan to join the business alliance."
Li Fumin: "......".
Wei Zhongxian: "......".
Li Fumin and Wei Zhongxian couldn't help muttering in their hearts, "What you said before you were old was all a scene."
After Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian and Li Fumin, "I want to know why I said that."
"Slaves are willing to listen to the Voice."
After Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes, after waiting for more than a minute, he suddenly opened his eyes, and suddenly his whole temperament changed earth-shatteringly, and he became very domineering.
"Because of the business alliance formed by Li Jianhui, I don't like it very much.
They wantonly suppressed other businessmen, monopolized all daily necessities, firewood, rice, oil and salt, raised prices and sold them, and wantonly deprived the common people of their resentment."
Although there are also businessmen who monopolize the market in the future, things like garlic and ginger and your army have happened, as well as recent things that can't even afford to eat pork. But do you see any merchant who dares to put rice or something like grain into a general section so that the people can't afford to eat?
Whether you say garlic is ruthless, or ginger or pork, these are not necessities of life, it doesn't matter if you eat it or not, it doesn't matter if you have one less meal. But for things like rice and grain, if a businessman dares to do this, you can see if the government's iron fist will knock out all his brains. Moreover, the later government also had a series of countermeasures against monopoly, which could effectively ensure that the daily life of ordinary people was not affected.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was just the opposite, monopoly prevailed, and the imperial court had no way to deal with it effectively. Because once the imperial court takes action, this group of merchants will threaten to strike the market, and once the market is boycotted in a certain place, it will affect the lives of the local people and cause great turmoil, so in the end the imperial court can only give in, and the merchants are more aggressive.
Zhu Youxiao said with an angry face at this time, and then became a little compassionate.
"These ordinary people have to pay taxes every year, and in the end they are exploited by these profiteers. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, my own people have been treated so unjustly, which makes me feel at ease."
"The reason why I set up Huitong Trading Bank is to let this group of people be able to buy some cheap goods, not to mention how cheap, even if it is cheaper, it is also a ...... of my heart."
As Zhu Youxiao continued to say what he thought in his heart, Li Fumin's eyes were red, and tears flashed on his back. I really didn't expect that what His Majesty was thinking about was to seek a benefit for the people of the world.
And he thought that the emperor wanted to get a lot of money from the people to enrich his internal funds. It's like a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, and I can't wait to slap a few times on my face.
And Wei Zhongxian, who was standing on the side, was also a little dumbfounded, Wei Zhongxian's thoughts were also the same as Li Fuming's. Seeing that Zhu Youxiao had such an idea, he could only sigh in his heart that the emperor had really grown up.
After seeing Zhu Youxiao's words, Wei Zhongxian gently walked down the steps and stood with Li Fuming, and gave Zhu Youxiao a big bow and nine bows.
"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and the slave deeply feels that he can be His Majesty's people."
"My Emperor, long live, long live, long live".
