Zhang Weiying smiled slightly and said to the apocalypse: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that whether it is a man who has served five years of military service or a woman who has been trained for five years, they should have the ability that they did not have in the past. The minister thought that it would be best to gather them together to do things, which could not only use their abilities but also facilitate restraint, I don't know what the emperor thinks? ”

Apocalypse thought for a moment and said, "As it was said at the beginning, this men's military service and women's training are held every year, as long as it is running, these people will continue to spring up like a flood out of the floodgates, where can we find a place that can accommodate so many people?" ”

Sun Chengzong also frowned at this time and said: "I think this matter is nothing when I hear it, but if you think about it carefully, you can find that this is a big problem, and it is better to postpone and discuss it again if there is no perfect solution." The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. The ability is getting bigger and bigger, the ideas are more and more, the requirements are getting higher and higher, the requirements are not met, and there will be trouble everywhere, and the Ming Dynasty now has rebels and strong enemies outside, and can not withstand such a toss. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "I remember that a few days ago, I was discussing affairs with Gao Panlong, Liu Zongzhou and others in the Prison Yuan, and I quoted a sentence from Confucius at that time, saying, 'The people can make it, but they can't make it known.'" What I meant at the time was that many truths could not be known to the common people, and only those who did not know the reason were good at management, so they would be very obedient and obedient to do things□ Zong Zhou did not agree with my point of view at that time, he said that it was my husband who taught the wrong sentence and read it well, and it should be 'the people can make it; No, let it be known. It means that if the people approve of it, let them do it, and if they don't agree, tell them the truth. At the time, I thought he had a point, but today he may not be right. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, the minister and the pope did not teach this sentence when they were studying, but the minister does not know which explanation is right now, and he has to deal with the facts." ”

Zhang Weiying said at this time: "The words of the saint are only understood by the saint, so only the emperor is the saint." However, the minister knows how to accommodate those people, and this place is the big iron company run by the emperor. ”

Tianqi said suddenly: "At the beginning, Ni Yuanlu hit the idea in the palace, wanting me to train female teachers in the palace, and now the British Duke has hit the head of the Big Iron Company again∞ I remember that the British Duke also has shares in the Big Iron Company, although it is not the most, but it is not a lot, does the British Duke think that the Big Iron Company can accommodate so many people?" Do you think that so many people will bring wealth to the company when they join the big iron company? ”

Zhang Weiying said: "Although the minister doesn't know much about those ways of management, he also understands that the big iron company can and can only give long-term benefits to all shareholders, and it is impossible for everyone to make a huge profit for half a lifetime, because the emperor wants to limit profits by example." With the current business content of the Great Iron Company, there is no profit from selling the qualifications to open mines and start construction, because the money is still not sold much and has been stipulated to be used for road repair; After only a few sections of road construction fees, the imperial court collected the commercial tax, and the matter of collecting tolls had to be put on hold temporarily; Now the only one who has income is Qianzhuang, so the minister thinks that there should be more stable income. ”

Tianqi looked at Zhang Weiying for a while and said: "I didn't expect the British company to be so concerned about management, but as a shareholder, it is also appropriate to care about your own money." Since you are so unoptimistic about road construction and tolls, selling and mining operations, why don't you reflect it? Are there any concerns or other considerations? It seems that I would like to state once again that the Big Iron Company is not a shell company used to deceive shareholders, and it will definitely bring long-term stable and considerable returns to everyone. ”

Zhang Weiying nodded and said: "The minister understands, the minister heard that the matter of selling the qualification to open a mine is a compensation after the imperial court collects all the commercial taxes, and it is better to have income than no income, and many rich shareholders are considering buying two factories to do it after the conditions are ripe, and this condition is ripe It means that someone does things and someone buys things↓ It is for this reason that the minister said that the retired soldiers and trained women will enter the big iron company, and there will be a lot of skilled people as soon as they come in?" When they earn money, they will spend it to buy what they need, and I believe that many rich people will come to invest at this time. ”

Apocalypse nodded and said: "According to the British public, the more you invest, the more you earn, the more you buy, the more you buy, the more you invest, so that a good circle will be formed, and the country's wealth will continue to emerge, isn't it?" ”

Zhang Weiying said: "Yes, as soon as there are more goods, there will be more trade circulation, and when the time comes, there will definitely be good returns from road construction fees, and there will be more and more loans and deposits from the bank, and the shareholders of the big iron company will definitely laugh at that time." But now everything is just imagination, like the repaired sections of the road can not be charged at all, in addition to pedestrians walking on the army and military equipment, the emperor also stipulated that pedestrians and military-related people and horses are not allowed to charge, the minister believes that the road toll must be repaired coherently to have a future. ”

Apocalypse said: "It turns out that this is what you really think, although there is no profit now, but they are all optimistic about the future. ”

Zhang Weiying said: "In fact, it is not only optimistic about the prospects, although the road repair cannot be collected for the time being, but there is no continued investment, many people on the new road are said to be good, which is equivalent to advertising for the big iron company." It is said that the mine owner and the factory owner also have to take out 20% of the 50% of the income as collateral, and these can be used by the bank for loans or profits. Speaking of money, I have to mention the relationship between Datie Qianzhuang and private banks in various places, and the minister proposed to recruit retired soldiers and trained women into Datie Company, and also thought about whether he could learn from this method. ”

At this time, the apocalypse finally understood what Zhang Weiying meant, and after the imperial court took away all the commercial taxes and coinage proceeds, out of embarrassment, it allowed the big iron company to open mines or sell rights in the country, and also allowed the big iron company to open money banks in the country. In the matter of opening a bank, the big iron company greatly reduced the interest rate on loans, and at the same time opened a non-local exchange business, so that many private banks could not stand it at once. The background of the big iron company is deep, and the background is not afraid of who borrows the debt, and whoever does not repay the debt will collect his house and land, and other money banks have no choice but to come to discuss cooperation.

In fact, other money banks can also reduce interest rates and open non-local exchange business, but their non-local exchange business is large-amount, and the money in various places is unbalanced, and it is necessary to spend money to escort the operation, and the small amount of non-local exchange does not dare to touch it at all. In terms of borrowing, those who encounter debts or arrears have to go through government lawsuits, the cost is too high, the cycle is long, and the low interest rate will not be able to make ends meet.

As long as they accept the supervision of the big iron company and give 20% of the profits, the cleaning up of bad debts and the transfer of silver money will be done by the big iron company. The big iron company itself is a company in which Tianqi accounts for sixty percent of the shares, and the Jinyi guards and internal guards distributed throughout the country can completely monitor the garrison to escort the money and collect the accounts.

Zhang Weiying's meaning is to use these retired soldiers and trained women in various counties, they are nominally into the big iron company, in fact, they can also enter those small companies attached to the name of the big iron company to do things, the big iron company manages and provides protection, the small company pays a certain amount of money but the lack of personnel and their own safety ♀ ideas may not be the meaning of other shareholders, but this involves the placement of retired soldiers, outsiders want to use it for fear of being suspected of ulterior motives It is very troublesome. So let Zhang Weiying bring it up at the right time.

Tianqi was thinking about it, and Sun Chengzong said at this time: "Your Majesty, the ministers think about it and think that the British public's suggestion is reasonable, men and women from all over the country are constantly training, some are in the military camp, some are in the county, these people accept it in the name of the big iron company, so that people will not gossip, after all, it is a batch of soldiers ♀, and there is a great advantage that they may not have thought of, or thought of it and did not say it, that is, after the implementation of the compulsory military service system, they do not need to be paid." In the past, soldiers were paid because they had to take into account the living needs of their wives and children, but now they are all unmarried and only need to take care of their food and clothing. ”

Sun Chengzong's statement suddenly dawned on everyone, and they all said that it was really good to do this, and it could damage a lot of silver to the imperial court. Many people praised Sun Chengzong for his far-reaching consideration, but they did not forget to praise Zhang Xiang'an who made suggestions at the beginning, and later praised Zhang Weiying and said that he would teach his son, and these three people were praised so much that they all smiled.

Tianqi was also happy at first, but after being happy for a while, he felt that it was wrong, and he waited for everyone's praise to be a little quieter, and asked softly: "May I ask the British Gong, you said that you want the big iron company to call all the women who retire and complete the training every year into the big iron company, and say that they want to imitate the money in the name of the big iron company, does it mean that these people will be called to work by companies large and small across the country?" Although they are not soldiers at the same time, they are likely to work at the same time, so who will plant the fields of the whole country? ”

Zhang Weiying said confidently: "I have thought about this problem, the big iron company should give priority to convening enough people to farm collectively, collective farming is much more efficient than farming in each household≡ rate taught in Shanglinyuan Huangzhuang to build a new type of farm, the minister once heard him say that if he works alone, a man can plant up to ten acres of land, no matter how much he can't take care of it, it is tiring, but a hundred people can easily take care of the planting of 1,500 acres of land. ”

Tianqi said: "I understand the truth that there is great strength and high cooperation efficiency, and I only want to know what the Great Iron Company can get from farming, but I have stipulated that even the agricultural tax and land rent are not allowed to exceed 30%. ”
