With such a large-scale circle of money, it is impossible for Jinyiwei and Dongchang to be unaware, but it is a pity that these people are also actively participating in the shares, including their bosses Li Ruolian and Fangzhenghua.

The Daming spy organization did not try to prevent the issuance of shares at all, and too many Jinyi Guard Captains and Dongchang Officers also went to line up, which simply added fuel to the fire.

Li and Fang even felt that "King Han" was interesting enough, because they didn't ask them to speak, Huang Sifang sent an approval slip for subscribing for 10,000 shares.

They knew that there were hundreds of people queuing up all night at the gate of the "Sifang Money Village", and the maximum limit was only 1,000 shares, and they could buy 10,000 shares when they got the approval, and there were only a dozen people in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen got a lot of news about the issuance of stocks during this time, he was completely dumbfounded, with his knowledge, he would only think that stocks were just a piece of paper, and to put it mildly, it was just a receipt, and he didn't know what Huang Han was doing.

He hates that iron does not become steel, and he is also reflecting on why the civil and military generals of the Ming Dynasty are willing to take out snowflake silver to buy a piece of paper?

Why did he promise to give the officials and the princes a salary, and the ministers and nobles pretended to be poor one by one, and refused to take the silver?

Although Chongzhen, who was puzzled, didn't know Huang Han's ultimate purpose, his instinct told him that he couldn't let the "Sifang Qianzhuang" use a blank paper circle to take away tens of millions of taels of silver from the Ming Dynasty.

He recruited his henchmen Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun to ask about the plan, but unfortunately Chongzhen didn't know that these two people also participated in almost all their savings, and this time they were among the big people who got the approval of 10,000 shares.

If the Ming Jingshi is still broken by the rogues in history, even if Liu Zhongmin uses a clamp stick to split the heads of the Ming nobles and officials, I am afraid it will be impossible to squeeze out tens of millions of taels of silver.

Of course, it is impossible for Huang Han to let the Liukou scourge the Ming Dynasty, let alone let them seize the capital, and after the Liao is pacified, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Ma Shouying and others will be destroyed.

Because on the surface, the rogues plundered a large amount of gold and silver treasures, but in fact, the loss of this country should be several times that of the plundered wealth.

The cultural heritage, antique calligraphy and paintings, and population loss burned by the rogues are all real gold in Huang Han's eyes.

In the imperial study, Chongzhen, who was tired all day long, was mentally and physically exhausted, and he said: "'King Han' issues stocks, and millions of taels of silver are often used, let it go on like this, won't I have no silver available?" ”

Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun glanced at each other, unable to figure out the emperor's intentions, Cao Huachun comforted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much, 'King Han' is taken from the people for the people, there is no Ming Dynasty and no silver available?" ”

Chongzhen said: "Cao Banban can't help but explain it, why don't I think it's a good thing!" ”

"Your Majesty, it is a great thing that everyone contributes capital to jointly open mines, build steel mills, build docks, buy ships and run to the Americas, make profits, and all investors share the results.

Before the IPO, the operation mode of the joint-stock company was made public, and the share capital was basically used to hire workers, purchase equipment, build factories, etc., and the silver did not leave the Ming Dynasty at all. ”

Chongzhen still didn't quite understand, and continued to ask: "Do you think these joint-stock companies have to make money?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "There must be something to be made, and there will be a lot of money, which is why there are too many people queuing up all night to buy stocks." 'King Han' once said that these are all original stocks, and there is a possibility of doubling, multiplying several times or even dozens of times in the future. ”

Chongzhen was puzzled: "How can you make so much money, isn't the 'King of Han' talking big?" ”

Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen read books and newspapers to study joint-stock companies during this time, and they more or less understood.

Cao Huachun explained: "The slave maid thinks that the 'Han King' is confident, some time ago the bicycle has been sold in the capital, the scene is hot and in short supply, according to the cost report of the vehicle factory, for each bicycle sold, the gross profit will not be less than 30%.

Related industries, such as steel sold in steel mills, tires and cushions sold in tanneries, are profitable, and too many workers and factories will make profits. ”

Chongzhen still couldn't figure it out, he asked: "Why can 'King Han' make a lot of money, why doesn't the Ministry of Industry have the ability to set up a joint-stock company to attract investment and make profits for Daming?" ”

Cao Huachun was silent, and he said in his heart: "Who dares to invest in silver in the Ministry of Industry's fundraising!" The emperor also looks down on those corrupt scholars and doctors.

The investor is not stupid, he invested the silver in the Ministry of Industry, which has a great appetite and little ability, and is inefficient, so it is better to donate it directly to the imperial court in exchange for adding officials to the knighthood! ”

Wang Chengen understands the emperor's temperament better, and if the Ministry of Industry really gets millions of taels of silver, I am afraid that it will be embezzled by the emperor who suffers from financial troubles every day, and there is basically no possibility of using it to invest in setting up a factory.

"Hanwang" takes the initiative to accept investors to supervise the operation of the joint-stock company, and the accounts are open and transparent, and the investors trust them.

But who dares to ask Emperor Chongzhen to accept supervision? Who would dare to check the emperor's accounts?

This is not taken for granted, the biggest reason for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty is corruption, and the direct cause is the poverty of the country, the weakness of the people, and the wealth of officials.

There is really capital for the operation of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, and these officials have a big appetite, small ability, low efficiency, and proper nonsense, and in the end they must be in vain.

It is also true to change eunuchs to operate capital, and the scholars may have to pretend to be sanctimonious, but the eunuchs don't even have ***, they have no face at all, and they will only be more shameless when they make money.

Wang Chengen's appearance is not ugly, so his reputation is not bad, but this chief eunuch also has tens of thousands of silver savings, which can be seen.

He whispered: "Your Majesty, the joint-stock company of 'Han Wang' is financially transparent and subject to social supervision, and there will be a statement every month to announce the whereabouts of the funds so that investors can rest assured."

Besides, the technology owned by the joint-stock company is not easy to imitate, and the quality of the steel of the Ming government is not up to the requirements.

The investors are all shrewd people who do not see the rabbit and do not scatter the eagle, and for the sake of the safety of their funds, it is impossible for them to invest their money in the joint-stock company led by the Ministry of Industry. ”

Cao Huachun said: "Your Majesty thinks that the Ministry of Industry has raised capital, what can ensure that there is a large amount of profit for investors to distribute profits?"

If the Ministry of Industry had such a skill, it could have come up with a plan, and the slaves and maids would definitely publicize it as vigorously as those officials under the command of the 'King of Han' to win investors. ”

How can Chongzhen understand this, the more he listens, the more he feels that his head is big, he said: "If I issue an order to stop the 'Han King' from raising shares in Daming, do you think it is feasible?" ”

Cao Huachun asked, "On what grounds is Your Majesty going to give an order?" Moreover, it may be difficult to stop the decree, and investors will still take their capital to the 'Tiger's Den City', or even simply go to Seoul. ”

Wang Chengen said: "The slave and maid advised Your Majesty to think twice, and suddenly issued such a will, not only is the 'King of Han' not good-looking, too many civil officials and military will be even more detached from morality, and cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents!" ”
