Chapter 1072: Li Kun beheaded himself!
China has always been an official-based society, and history took a turn in the middle of Qianlong and entered a new road. Chen Ming vigorously developed domestic industry and commerce, suppressed Confucianism, tore apart China's thousands of years of 'tradition', and elevated the status of industry and commerce, but this does not mean that China has entered a 'capitalist society' at this moment.
Power in today's China can still weigh on wealth. It's just that the latter is no longer a pig and sheep waiting to be slaughtered without the power to resist. It is a beast in the mountains, and a powerful beast can directly devour people.
Therefore, the Li family, who is a relative of the emperor and has a bright future, is naturally the leader of the merchants in the world - in the case of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce. No matter how strong Zhou Junren is, he is only a commoner and a rich man, and the real influence of the two sides is not on the same level.
Even in England at the moment, many banks and comptoirs have the support of the English aristocracy behind them, so don't bring the situation of the 21st century into the current world.
When China's economy has been upgraded from a regional to a national level, those who have a good reputation and influence in all parts of the country have official backgrounds behind them. Because the power of officialdom can help them easily break the bottleneck, otherwise, it is really difficult to go out of the 'region' and go to the whole country by relying only on their own management.
It was precisely with Chen Ming's support that the Li family quickly entered the Jiangnan and Lingnan regions from Qiongdao, and this geographical restriction did not exist for it congenitally. And now that Chen Ding's status has been guaranteed, it can be said that in the next thirty years, the Li family will be the top wealthy family of Chen Han!
In a family like the Zhou family, no matter how many people there are, they are not qualified to let Li Kun personally send him out, not to mention that Li Kun has been recuperating under the pretext of recuperating during this time and has not been out. As a smart person, Li Kun knows very well that his nephew has just sat in the 'big position', not completely settled, and the Li family can only keep quiet during this time period, rather than going out of the limelight to lose his precious nephew's points.
After sending Zhou Junren away, Li Hao immediately went back to the study, where only Li Kun was in a wheelchair, and there was an extra pot of red robes on the coffee table at hand. Take a deep breath out of your nose, and you can still smell the faint aroma, but it is very different from the rich tea aroma of Longjing, which is used for entertaining guests.
"Father's ......"
Li Hao's tone and expression were a little solemn, because Zhou Junren and their group were another wave of heavyweight opposition parties.
Since Chen Zhen's '100-acre farm plan' was proposed, first the bigwigs from all walks of life in Nanjing, and then the wealthy gentry from all over the world. It's all for the sake of profit.
Although China promulgated the "Labor Protection Law" for low-level workers early, even in the 21st century, there are more than N people exploiting loopholes in the law, let alone in this era.
Since the promulgation of the "Labor Protection Law", almost every cabinet has proposed to repair and supplement it, but this is useless, and under the influence of interests, businessmen should still be opportunistic.
It can be said that since Chen Han's laws and regulations in all aspects were established one by one, the merchant class has become the best helper in China's judicial circles. Many of the rules and regulations are already elaborate in the eyes of the judiciary, but businessmen can still find loopholes in them and then make a profit.
Between the two is like the sharpest spear and the strongest shield.
Chen Ming is very happy to see this scene, there is competition to develop, can promote each other, can make progress together. Moreover, the powers of the Information Council and the Local Advisory Bureaus are slowly expanding, and sooner or later their tentacles will be able to reach out to the law.
For example, now, Chen Zhen's 100-acre plan has just been taken out, and the wealthy gentry with n numbers are alarmed. No way, who let almost every one of their subordinates operate in labor-intensive industries, and the business reaches their point, and the number of employees in labor-intensive industries is in the thousands, and what is the income of these employees? Whether they will be attracted by the '100 acres of fertile land', they know it.
So, some news has just been revealed, and they are just like that one knows - the golden wind has not moved the cicada! It's really the golden wind that hasn't moved the cicada.
The textile industry and agriculture, in particular, have the greatest impact.
The "Labor Protection Law", which many manufacturers hate, is enough for them to have a headache, and now what if there is another 100 acres of land, and their workers are gone?
Interests are violently touched, and people can't sit still. Merchants all over the world are in a commotion again. Although Li Kun still doesn't know the reaction from afar, but now that even the business district in Central China is involved, isn't it equivalent to saying that the local gentry are going to jump up?
The first thing Li Kun thought of in this matter was his nephew Chen Ding, who was going to suffer a lot of pressure.
Now Li Kun also feels more and more that the person who supports Chen Yu behind his back is the emperor, because this kind of thing of letting others top the tank gives him a very strong sense of familiarity......
And with the fermentation of things, the presidents of chambers of commerce from all over the country rushed to the capital. These people are sitting in the position of president, but they are not completely allowing them to enjoy the greater good, you enjoy more convenience and you need to take on greater responsibility. This is the duty of the presidents to run the door to Beijing. In their positions, these people sit in the position of the president of the chamber of commerce and want to benefit the chamber of commerce. Therefore, recently, many presidents of chambers of commerce who are important commercial towns such as Yangzhou, Huai'an, Yantai, and Wuhan have frequently come to Beijing, and the Li family is one of the doors where the presidents of the chamber of commerce frequently visit.
"It's stupid to be greedy for small profits and seek big harm!" Li Kun's face showed undisguised irritation.
or the difference in status, but also because of the difference in pursuit, Li Kun has long had no word for money in his eyes. His thinking is very in tune with Chen Ming, the population is the first place in the development of the vassal state, and he is willing and supported by a hundred hearts for the big plan of granting 100 acres of land per capita.
If you don't give enough benefits, why should you let your family leave their homeland and go to the Americas thousands of miles away to make a living.
Spend a little money to get rid of your worries, why not? Is it necessary for a 'country' to be willing if there are less than 100,000 people?
"The emperor is afraid that he has already made up his mind, so he will not change it. No matter how happy Zhou Junren and the like, they are just clowns. Father, why don't we have a good talk with King Yu and find out the attitude? If there is another person who comes to the door in the future, we will pick out the attitude and agree with this matter! Li Hao is a little worried about the possible shock of the business community in the future, but he is very supportive of the 100-acre land grant plan.
Only in this way can the lowest class in the country get a bright future, reduce the burden on the local area to the greatest extent, and resolve the local class contradictions. At the same time, it also allowed those vassal kings to leave Nanjing earlier and go to the Americas.
From Chen Ding's standpoint, the Li family supports Chen Ding's plan. It's just that the opposition is really strong, for their own consideration, before Chen Ding has made a final decision, the Li family can't be 'anti-guest-oriented'.
Because although the united power of the industrial and commercial classes in the world is very strong, the current strength of the empire is even stronger, and the current emperor is an extremely tough strongman, if he encounters a threat, he will not compromise at all, and everything that disobeys and blocks his progress will be crushed by the invincible power of the empire.
"Zhou Junren is here, and there are only the southwest and northwest left......",
In the eyes of many people in China, the word "China" still refers to China's own territory, which does not include Nanyang, Nanmingzhou, the Americas, and the Outer Northeast. In the entire industrial and commercial class of China, the main forces in the southwest and northwest parts are Shudi and Guanzhong. If in the next wave, the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Shu and the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Guanzhong also visit the Li family, then the entire industrial and commercial class of the 'world' will reach an agreement......
"yes. It's time for a showdown. You asked someone to send a post to King Yu, and let's go to the palace tomorrow. ”
Li Hao's mention is quite appealing to him. Li Kun believes that Chen Ming is now also waiting for the last moment.
Father's words Li Hao's heart is as clear as a mirror, the Li family resolutely stands on the opposite side of the world's merchants at this time, and it is inevitable to have a short help. But this also happened to let the emperor and King Yu see their loyalty, and cutting off their arms was not a retreat, laying a solid foundation for the bright future of the Li family.
After all, the emperor supported the Li family back then, in addition to the queen's affection, just to let the Li family be a helper for Chen Ding. Now that Chen Ding's status as the crown prince has been secured, the Li family's 'role' is not good. And if the Li family becomes the leader of the industrial and commercial class in the world, where will the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce and the royal family be?
Therefore, it is better to automatically remove the position. Anyway, this hat was just put on the Li family's head.
Li Kun was also worried about whether the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce would suppress the Li family in business, and the fundamental power of many honorable and noble ministers was withdrawn from China, which directly turned China's business world upside down. Although many companies are still hanging on the stock exchange, and the momentum is rising, the names of the controlling parties and major shareholders in the company have changed when many shareholders are not aware of them.
The Li family's light is too strong, and the expansion of influence and strength is too fast. Even if Li Kun is 'recuperating' at home, Li's upward momentum has not slowed down. Li Kun is naturally faintly proud of the Li family's status as the 'leader of the world's business circles', and he is overjoyed, but Li Kun's biggest point is that he is cool-headed.
He felt that it was necessary for the Li family to come out to be a shield now. This is the best 'result' of the Li family.
After Chen Ding's 'battle' was suddenly won, Li Kun studied Chinese history very carefully after the ecstatic excitement subsided, and looked at the results of those heroes who made great contributions after the successive dynasties helped the prince to ascend the throne.
Then Li Kun became ill.
And now, the Li family wants to cut themselves even more!
……
Caspian Sea, in front of the Astrakhan fortress.
The continuous sound of artillery rumbled, and a large cloud of black smoke was blown by the south wind to obscure the battlefield.
A group of Russian soldiers fled backwards in confusion.
Bagration intercepted a retreating Russian colonel, who pointed to the fortress ahead where half of his soldiers had lost his life and shouted: "That's a demon, the battlefield in front of it is a hell, we have lost half of our men, we can't stay in that hell any longer!" Bagration roared: "Am I not still here! ”
Bagration, with his sword drawn, stopped the retreating soldiers, "Warriors of Russia, victory is ahead!" "Let me personally lead the rest of the Russian soldiers to charge forward, and a regiment of reinforcements quickly came to the rear, but the Wehrmacht is not a pure stubborn position, Astrakhan is much larger than Turinsk. The troops led from Turinsk had withdrawn to Astrakhan by water, and the Terrhut Infantry Brigade of the Territory of Tselingdelek was flanked by Pan Chang, and the second attack launched by the Russian army tonight was repulsed, and Marshal Bagration, who personally led the army to attack Marshal Bagration, was almost captured.
