The reason why Wei Shuo suddenly mentioned Laoshan Trading Company was because the positioning of Laoshan Trading Company in the past was very confusing, which had affected its continued development and growth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He wants to take advantage of the current Yanguo start-up, all rules and regulations are being reformed, and clarify the future of Laoshan Trading Company as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when everything settles in the future, Wei Shuo will definitely have to pay more energy and effort to reform, and maybe it will cause unnecessary chaos.

Speaking of which, when the Laoshan Trading Company was founded, the situation was extremely chaotic, and Wei Shuo only wanted to unite the hearts of the Laoshan fugitives through her.

Unexpectedly, after just ten years of development, Laoshan Trading Company has grown into a behemoth, and its assets and scale are the largest in Yan Kingdom.

Many important ministers, including Pei Wei and Mo Han, secretly talked to Wei Shuo about the problem of the Laoshan Trading Company, but because the strategic focus of the Yan State was to pacify the Hu Trouble, he did not have the time and energy to deal with the Laoshan Trading Company.

Now, due to Zhang Laohan's sudden illness, Wei Shuo has to temporarily put down government affairs, and it also gives him the opportunity to sort out the remaining problems of Laoshan Trading Company.

From the perspective of later generations, Laoshan Trading Company is more like a joint-stock enterprise, but the background of its shareholders is too complicated, including 'heads of state' like Yan Wang, powerful people like Zhang Jia and Zhu Wen, and some Laoshan fugitives that are ordinary people.

It is precisely because of the complexity of the identity of the shareholders that the positioning of Laoshan Trading Company is confused, and it is neither a private joint-stock 'enterprise' as usual in later generations, nor an orthodox public-private joint venture, nor even a large and medium-sized state-owned enterprise.

"The development of Laoshan Trading Company to this day has made great contributions to the rise of Yan State, and Ziwen and Dalang have made great contributions!"

"The king has an overreputation, this is what the ministers should do. It's just that the king just mentioned the Laoshan trading company, and I don't know ......"

Looking at Zhu Wen, who wanted to stop talking, Wei Shuo knew what the other party was worried about, so he opened his mouth to explain: "I won't hide it from the two of you, Laoshan Trading Company is a bit out of place today, and it needs to be rectified, otherwise there will inevitably be big problems in the future." Of course, this has nothing to do with the two of you, but the number of days. ”

"Rectification? Number of days? "Zhu Wen and Zhang Dalang were a little inexplicable, and they couldn't figure out Wei Shuo's true intentions, in their opinion, Laoshan Trading Company was booming, and there were no internal problems.

"Let's put it this way, if we don't make reforms now, Laoshan Trading Company may have no problem in your and my generation, but in the future, when our descendants grow up, the complex relationship structure within Laoshan Trading Company is likely to cause a huge crisis."

After all, Zhang Dalang was only a farmer, and he was slow to respond to some questions, but Zhu Wen was a scholar, and he quickly understood the deep meaning of Wei Shuo's words, and at the same time couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Indeed, as Wei Shuo said, when the older generation gradually passes away and the younger generation grows up, who can guarantee that the future generations will be able to live in harmony like their ancestors?

What's even more terrifying is that if Wei Shuo's successor is a greedy person, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be ruthless to the Zhang family, the Yang family, and the Zhu family who have mastered the shares of Laoshan Trading Company, and the shares in the hands of those ordinary households are even more unlikely to be owned for a long time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wen was secretly glad again, thanks to Wei Shuo's kindness, he was aware of the crisis in Laoshan Trading Company, and now he had to solve it openly and honestly.

"The lord is gracious, the minister has nothing to repay, and he should do his best in the future to serve the work of dogs and horses!"

Wei Shuo stepped forward to support Zhu Wen and said with emotion: "You and I are a monarch and minister, I naturally hope that you and your family will continue to prosper, this is not only the glory of the Zhu family, but also the luck of the Yan country." ”

"The scale of the Laoshan trading company is too big, so big that ordinary people can't control it at all, no matter who it is, it's not a blessing, in order to prevent future generations from fighting for it, I plan to split and reorganize it."

"According to the different shares occupied by Wei, Yang, Zhang, and Zhu, the Laoshan trading company was split into four large trading companies. From now on, each family will be responsible for its own business, and there will be no relationship with each other except for normal business dealings. ”

"That'...... Does that mean that after the split, we all became general trading companies? ”

"How is that possible? Laoshan Trading Company has paid so much for the rise of Yan State, and it will get some preferential treatment if it is reasonable. Let's not talk about my Wei family's share, the three of you will be the imperial merchants of the Great Yan Kingdom in the future. ”

"Imperial Merchant? What is a royal businessman? ”

"Imperial merchants, as the name suggests, the royal trading company also! As an imperial businessman, he has the priority to get the opportunity to trade with the government, and as an imperial businessman, he will not only enjoy a variety of preferential treatment in policies, but also reduce unnecessary troubles. ”

After listening to the definition of imperial businessmen, Zhu Wen and Zhang Dalang's eyes suddenly lit up, as the actual controllers of Laoshan Trading Company, they had long experienced the convenience brought by their deep background. The reason why Laoshan Trading Company has developed rapidly in recent years is inseparable from the protection of Weishuo. Otherwise, the Laoshan trading company would have been swallowed by the major families with bones and meat.

"In order to better manage the imperial merchants, I plan to establish the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and set up the post of Minister of the Interior, which is of the same grade as the Shangshu of various ministries, I wonder if Ziwen is willing to serve as the first Minister of the Interior?"

"Huh? I'm coming to be the Minister of the Interior? ”

Zhu Wen's face was full of surprise, and he couldn't believe that this was true. To be honest, as Wei Shuo gradually moved towards a high position, Zhu Wen became more and more worried about his way out. As the actual person in charge of Laoshan Trading Company, he does not have a special relationship with Wei Shuo like Zhang Dalang, and there is no need to think about the future at all.

And what Zhu Wen said is a good thing to say is that he holds Yan Guo's 'money bag', but in fact, he is a 'shopkeeper', but because of the special status of the 'owner', his shopkeeper looks majestic, but as far as he is concerned, he has no status at all.

Now Wei Shuo intends to make him the Minister of Internal Affairs, not only from the fourth high-ranking official, but also related to what he was engaged in before, it can be said that Wei Shuo has considered him very properly.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wen couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, and suddenly burst into tears: "The lord treats the ministers so well, and it is difficult for the ministers to die in case of death!" ”

Wei Shuo stroked his back and sighed: "Ziwen has worked hard all these years, but he has not received any rewards, originally there was a seat for you in the cabinet, but because you have been staying in Laoshan and have little contact with the outside world, you will be criticized by the outside world if you take the liberty of ascending to a high position." ”

"Ke Ziwen has merit and can't be rewarded, just take the opportunity of rectifying the Laoshan Trading Company this time to give you an explanation. Of course, the other senior executives of the Laoshan trading company can be directly merged into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and in the future, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be fully responsible for taking care of all the affairs of the imperial merchants. ”

"Dare to ask the lord, who will be in charge of this internal affairs office in the future?"

"In the future, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will only be under the direct jurisdiction of the royal government, and will not be managed by the cabinet and other departments.

Hearing that the Internal Affairs Mansion was only under the management of the Yan Wangfu, Zhu Wen was even more relieved. In his opinion, after King Yan's arrangement, it can be regarded as completely whitewashing the Laoshan trading company ashore, and from an unjustifiable opposition trading company to a serious imperial businessman.

"Wang, after the split of Laoshan Trading Company, what will happen to the Yang family, Zhu family, and Zhang family members who will form each trading company and the rest of the ordinary shareholders?"

"These people are also shareholders of Laoshan Trading Company, and they have all been engaged in business operations for many years, so it is better to unite them and form another trading company, which is still called 'Laoshan Trading Company', and then give them the status of imperial merchants."

Zhu Wen touched his chin and pondered for a moment and asked, "In this way, plus the king's own trading company in his hands, there will be five trading companies in the entire Internal Affairs Office, and the scale is not small, but what if there are other people who also want to join the Internal Affairs Office?" ”

"This is exactly what I want to say next, Laoshan Trading Company as a whole has become an imperial businessman, and it is inevitable that some people will be red-eyed. Therefore, in order to appease the outside world, I plan to expand the number of imperial merchants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ten, and except for the five places that have been determined for the time being, the remaining five will be left to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose for itself. ”

"Here, I just remind Ziwen that it is better for the selected person not to be from a big family." Finally, Wei Shuo's eyes burned.

Zhu Wen's heart was shocked, and it suddenly became clear, it seems that his own lord is very protective of the family, but it is also said that the family has taken the initiative in politics, and they must not be allowed to benefit economically, otherwise it will inevitably be a big deal in the future.

"Please rest assured, the king knows the severity."

"Well, very good, in addition, you can discuss with Da Lang and come up with a rough plan for the internal affairs office in advance." (To be continued.) )
