Just after the first month of the eleventh year of Chongzheng, Xu Guangqi, the first assistant of the cabinet, received a holy edict, asking him to arrange for his own grandsons Xu Erjue, Xu Erdou, Xu Ermo, and Xu Erlu, who were far away in Nanzhili, to enter Beijing to face the saints, saying that they had something to do. Xu Guangqi still knows a lot about the situation of his own grandchildren, they are all a little addicted to Western learning, but the learning of sages is not very good, so none of them have achieved fame, what can these boys do, and even bother the emperor to explain it himself!

Xu Guangqi thought that the emperor was going to arrange for them to be officials, how could this work, wouldn't it be ridiculous to be ranked in the court without fame, if that was the case, he estimated that he would be drowned by the spittle of hundreds of officials in the court! He didn't want to be infamous for bending the law for personal gain, so after receiving the holy edict, he did not immediately let his own grandson enter Beijing to face the saint, but ran to the palace to face the saint.

Zhu Cijiong has been more respectful to his teacher since he knew that Xu Guangqi treated his family's selfless affairs, and when he heard that the teacher was coming, he not only welcomed him outside the Qianqing Palace for the first time, but also personally supported the teacher all the way to the study, and even moved the chair behind the teacher with his own hands to make it convenient for the teacher to sit down.

This time Xu Guangqi was even more panicked, after he sat down half-pushed and half-pushed, he immediately said in a panic: "Your Majesty, you can't be so kind to Weichen, the court knows that Weichen is the emperor's enlightenment teacher, and he has been overfavored by being given the position of Taishi and Zhuguo Gong, if he blesses his descendants, Weichen is afraid that the government and the opposition will continue to criticize it!" “

Zhu Cijiong asked with a smile: "What is the criticism, what is there to criticize?" “

Xu Guangqi also let go, plucked up his courage, and replied directly: "Criticize the emperor for not respecting the ancestral system, not looking at fame, and nepotism!" “

Zhu Cijiong fainted when he heard the mistake, and said with a wry smile: "Teacher, I'm afraid you are mistaken, I didn't say that I want to be an official with Erdou and Erdou!" “

Xu Guangqi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What does the emperor want them to do?" “

Zhu Cijiong told a little lie and said vaguely: "There are more and more things about the prosperous business name that is not getting worse, and Luo Yangxing can't be busy alone, so I want Er Jue and Er Dou to follow Luo Yangxing to learn and help me take care of the business in the future." “

He didn't dare to directly say how many shares he wanted to give to the Xu family, in that case, Xu Guangqi would definitely not agree, first fool people vaguely and then talk about it, as for the future, it would be impossible to be a teacher!

Sure enough, Xu Guangqi immediately approved: "It turned out to be this, it's good, a few of them can't do anything, it's just a pile of waste firewood, it's good to be able to plant some land to feed themselves, and now it is a great creation to help the emperor take care of the business, and Weichen is here to thank the emperor for them." “

Zhu Cijiong was really frightened when he heard this, this teacher is really ruthless, after the first assistant of the cabinet of the dignified Zhuguo Minister, he actually let them go to farming, don't take such abuse of children and grandchildren!

Jokes, jokes, in short, the teacher Xu Guangqi finally flickered over, Zhu Cijiong not only sent a holy message to the teacher, but also sent a telegram to Sun Chengzong, who was far away in Liaodong, and also asked him to arrange for his grandson Sun Zhixin, Sun Zhixiang, Sun Zhixi, Sun Zhishu, etc. to enter Beijing to face the saint.

Sun Chengzong was too far away to refuse the emperor in person, so he had to confess to his own grandchildren, and be honest when he entered Beijing, if the emperor wanted to give them an official title, even death would not be acceptable!

Fortunately, Zhu Cijiong didn't want to give them official titles, after Xu Erjue, Xu Erdou, Sun Zhixin, Sun Zhixiang and others arrived, Zhu Cijiong immediately held a special imperial meeting in his study, and the participants were:

Zheng Zhilong, King of Zhennan;

Loyal and diligent Hou Luo nourishing nature;

Bi Maokang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry;

Cao Huachun, the commander of the East Factory;

Sincerity Boschvela;

Qin Mingyue's younger brother Qin Weiming;

Xu Guangqi's eldest grandson, Xu Erjue;

Sun Chengzong's eldest grandson, Sun Zhixin;

The combination of these people is a bit strange, there are current high-ranking officials, former high-ranking officials, there are princes and marquises, and after the duke, there is also the emperor's brother-in-law, and the head of the eunuch, and even a foreigner, what is this for?

Zhu Cijiong recruited them not to discuss national affairs, but to discuss the management of the royal family's industry, and now there are many industries under his name, such as the Rixinglong firm, the Ming Dynasty Western commerce, and so many factories under the Ministry of Industry, as well as two or three billion mu of land in the northwest, as well as the original Huangzhuang, etc., which must be integrated. Of course, it is necessary to say in general that the entire Ming Dynasty is his, but that can only be regarded as the public property of the Ming Empire, not his personal private property, which is managed by court officials, and this private property can only be managed by his own cronies.

First of all, he made it clear that the public and private must be separated, that is, those who manage his private property cannot serve as court officials, so Luo's Yang Jinyi Wei commander was dismissed, and as for letting Bi Maokang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Cao Huachun, the governor of Dongchang, participate in the meeting, of course, it is not to remove their official positions, but to separate the private property of the royal family under their management.

Then, he unified all the private property with the royal name, and subdivided, such as the Daming Royal Rixing Bank is specialized in managing the currency business, the Daming Royal Xinglong business is specialized in the management of daily necessities, including the output of the Huangzhuang and the output of two or three billion acres of land in the northwest, all have the management of the Ming Royal Xinglong firm, the Ming Royal Western trade is specialized in the management of luxury goods production, and he also set up a Daming Royal Machinery Industry Group to manage machinery factories, cement factories, steel mills and other non-military units. At the same time, it is also responsible for the external sales of arms.

Finally, he clarified the responsibilities and rights of his cronies:

Zhongqin Hou Luo Yangxing is responsible for the management of the Daming Royal Nikxing Bank, accounting for 10% of the shares of the Daming Royal Nikxing Bank, and Jinyiwei participates in the management of all the bank's retirements, so that their sons and nephews will take over their positions in Jinyiwei, and also give them a 10% share, and the remaining 80% is owned by the royal family.

Xu Erjue, the grandson of Xu Guangqi, led the third generation of the Xu family to manage the Ming Royal Xinglong Firm, and the Xu family accounted for one percent of the shares of the Ming Royal Xinglong Firm, and then divided one percent to the managers of the current firm, and the remaining eighty percent belonged to the royal family.

Sun Chengzong's Sun Zhixin led the third generation of the Sun family to manage the Daming Royal Machinery Industry Group, and the Sun family accounted for one percent of the shares of the Daming Royal Machinery Industry Group, and then divided one percent to the managers of the current firm, and the remaining eighty percent belonged to the royal family.

Zheng Zhilong, the king of Zhennan, was responsible for the management of the Ming Imperial Western Commerce, accounting for one percent of the shares of the Ming Imperial Western Commerce, and then one percent to the management of the current firm, one percent to the sincerity of Bosvila, and the remaining seventy percent to the royal family.

Qin Mingyue's brother Qin Weiming is not responsible for managing any industry, but is responsible for auditing the accounts, Zhu Cijiong asked him to go directly to the Daming Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Daming Academy of Science to gather a group of accounting masters, and then take turns to check the accounts of each business, that is, let him watch all the properties of the royal family for himself. In terms of treatment, Zhu Cijiong naturally can't lose him, his sister is the queen, and the Qin family is also a member of the royal family, Zhu Cijiong simply ordered to divide all his properties into the Qin family, whether it is now or in the future!

As for Shi Weila, he naturally did not get a hundred percent of the shares for nothing, Zhu Cijiong ordered him to go back and integrate all his businesses, also set up a regular company, and handed over two percent of the shares to the Ming royal family, which was used to exchange for one percent of the shares of the Ming royal Western trade.
