Volume 12 Chapter 10 Economic Invasion

Arrange the cultural invasion thing, the next is the problem of economic invasion, with the emergence of ships, sea transportation will become faster, which makes it possible for the Ming to seize the European market, Europe is a huge market, now the world's wealth is crazy to Europe to gather, not to occupy the market is a pity.

Now the production level of the Ming private merchants even exceeds the European continent, many commodities are cheaper than the European self-produced, it is not very difficult to occupy the European market, of course, it is unlikely that the private merchants will occupy the European continent for a long time, because the European continent and the Ming Dynasty are separated by oceans, tens of thousands of miles apart, and now the sea is full of pirates, and even the merchant ships of the great powers are part-time as pirates from time to time, and the general merchants can not transport the goods to the European continent. Only the Ming court had the ability to organize warships to escort large quantities of goods to the European continent on a regular basis.

Zhu Cijiong is not lacking in transportation capacity, what he lacks is people, to be precise, it is definitely unrealistic to use Ming officials to do business, like the two firms or two companies he is opening now, one is the Jinyi Wei command Luo Yangxing is in charge, and one Ming Western trade is in charge of Zhennan Wang Zheng Zhilong, these two goods are now basically in a state of making money regardless of the ball, that is to say, as long as Zhu Cijiong does not give an order to let them do anything, they will do business, and they don't care about business at all, if all the officials of the Ming Dynasty are like this, then they have to do it!

The reason why Zhu Cijiong handed over the two businesses to these two goods in the past was that there was no way to do it, because at that time he had too few cronies, and he couldn't manage the affairs of the imperial court, and there were still people there to manage the business for him, so he could only let these two goods work part-time, and now it is naturally different, he decided to completely separate the governance of the country from business, and the business will be handed over to the family members of his cronies, and if you want to do business, you can't be an official!

Zheng Zhilong is easy to say, because he doesn't have a specific official position, the king of Zhennan is just a title, and he doesn't have any specific powers, this Luo Yang's temperament is different, he also occupies the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard doesn't care about the ball, he is also a wonder.

Zhu Cijiong naturally wouldn't let this product keep occupying the pit and not, this time he was about to set up a company to trade with Europe, so he decided to simply drag this goods out of the pit and give the pit to others.

The emperor summoned him, Luo Yangxing is naturally a fart to come, good guy, look at the rich face of this goods, where does it look like the commander of the Jinyi Guard, it is typically a profiteer!

After the monarch and ministers saw the salute, Zhu Cijiong smiled and asked, "Tairu, how do you feel about being salty?" “

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he nervously recalled: "Come to salt? It seems to be Wang Zhengnan, right? This Wang Zhengnan seems to be the envoy of Jinyi Weizhen, his own subordinate! “

Thinking of this, he suddenly became clever, where does he have the heart to take care of the affairs of Jinyiwei now, and he can't be busy with the affairs of the Rixinglong business, so he really doesn't know much about this Wang Zhengnan, and now the emperor asks, what should I do?

He secretly observed the emperor and found that the emperor didn't seem to be unhappy, so he suddenly dared to say nonsense: "Back to the emperor, Weichen thinks it's very good to come to Xian, loyal to his duties, diligent and prudent, and he is a very good seedling." “

Is this used to praise a spy leader, Zhu Cijiong knew that this was full of copper smell, and he didn't have the heart to care about Jinyiwei at all, so he said directly: "En, be loyal, diligent and prudent, yes, then I will make you a loyal and diligent marquis, a thousand stones, hereditary replacement, as for the position of the commander of Jinyiwei, let it be salty!" “

A hereditary reckless marquis for a Jinyi Wei commander, it doesn't seem to be a loss, Luo Yangxing really doesn't care much about the position of this Jinyi Wei commander, with his father and son's connections in the Jinyi Guard, even if he is not the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he is still the boss of the Jinyi Guard, what he really cares about is the Rixinglong firm, so he patted his ass and said: "Wechen thank the emperor for his grace, the emperor is wise, Laixian is indeed more suitable than Weichen to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but this day Xinglong firm is ......." “

This goods! Zhu Cijiong said angrily: "Don't worry, my business name is still in charge of you, but this Rixinglong business must be reorganized, which is both business and lending, which is too messy and not conducive to development." “

As soon as it came to business, Luo Yang's temperament was energetic, and he said without thinking: "Weichen also thinks that the business of Rixinglong is too complicated, and it is best to split it into two businesses, one is in charge of daily necessities, and the other is in charge of lending. “

Zhu Cijiong nodded and said: "Well, you and I want to go together, so let's split the Rixinglong firm into Daming Royal Nikxing Bank and Daming Royal Xinglong Bank, the bank is in charge of lending, and the firm is in charge of business." “

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he couldn't help but praise: "The emperor is wise ......." “

Seeing that this product was ready to talk endlessly, Zhu Cijiong hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Don't pat yourself on the back, I don't have time to listen to this." “

Luo Yangxing closed his mouth in embarrassment, and then he asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what does this bank mean?" “

Zhu Cijiong explained casually: "The bank in charge of silver is naturally called a bank, just a title, in the future, all the gold and silver currency of the Ming Dynasty will be managed by the Ming Royal Rixing Bank, and the business of the Ming Royal Xinglong Firm will be expanded to Europe, so many things you will definitely not be able to manage, you can only choose one management, if you want to choose a bank, you should think about how to control the currency of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to choose a business, you will go to Europe with me, and build up the general number over there, which one do you choose?" “

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he thought about it for a while, and then said categorically: "Wechen chooses the bank!" “

Zhu Cijiong nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Then you can go back and think about how to control the currency of the Ming Dynasty, as for the business name, I will find someone to take over." “

In this way, Luo Yangxing gave up the position of the commander of the Jinyiwei and concentrated on taking care of the business, and the first order that the newly appointed Jinyiwei commander Wang Zhengnan received was to investigate the families of all the emperor's cronies, of course, it was not that Zhu Cijiong wanted to clean up his cronies, but wanted to find a few people to come out and manage his business for him.

Zhu Cijiong didn't expect that Wang Zhengnan's investigation would find out two cronies who moved him.

The first is Taifu Zhenguo Gong Sun Chengzong, this Sun Chengzong is simply a model of selflessness, he has seven sons, except for the eldest son Sun Quan High School Jinshi, the remaining six sons are at most a lifter, that is to say, they have never favoritized their sons to obtain Jinshi fame through the imperial examination, and his eldest son has only served as a few magistrates, and now he has honestly stayed at home as the prince of Zhenguo, and has not held any official positions!

There is also Xu Guangqi, the first assistant of the cabinet of the Taishi Zhuguo Ministry of Public Rites, looking at his large list of titles, his son should at least be a third-grade member, but he is also selfless, he has a son Xu Ji, not a jinshi, not a lifter, just a county scholar, and he has never been an official!

These two people, one is the emperor's imperial teacher, the other is his own teacher, it can be said that the two most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty, as long as they give a few words casually, their son can definitely be easy, soaring, high-ranking officials, brilliant and prosperous, but they don't say hello, never show favoritism, and don't even let their sons mix in the officialdom!

Such a selfless and loyal minister naturally wants to reward well, Zhu Cijiong decided, and used the descendants of the two of them to manage the royal business, giving the two of them wealth for several lifetimes!
