Regarding the matter of the Eight Banners firm, although there is not the slightest rumor between the government and the opposition, the scholars have known it for a long time - for more than a month, although the old man has not disclosed relevant matters to the outside world, but he has not discussed the feasibility of this in private with the scholars, but because the old man has strict orders, no one dares to spread it easily, and the confidentiality work has been done to the extreme. This is the root cause of the old man's delay in giving instructions on the matter of the Eight Banners firm, and it is also the fundamental reason why the old man summoned Hongqing today, in order to make a decision on this matter.

Obviously, the difficulty of asking questions before the decision has become the key key, but who came first and what to ask, but it made a group of scholars a little uncertain, not for anything else, just because the master standing in front of him is not a vegetarian animal, but the famous "officialdom butcher", I didn't see Li Guangdi, who has always been known as a tumbler, was overturned by Hongqing, in case of annoying this master, then the consequences are afraid that it will not be wonderful, so although the old man has opened the golden mouth, the scholars are not in a hurry to ask, And the old man didn't seem to have any intention of urging, and for a while, the hall was so strangely quiet.

"Qing Belle, the old man has a question and asks Qing Belle to solve the puzzle on his behalf, well, let's say so, the market says that overseas trade has huge profits, but the risk is also big, the so-called ten to three or four times, if so, how can you keep the profit of the business?"

After the unbearable silence lasted for a while, he saw the new Wenhuadian University Shi Wenda flash out from the side, arched his hand towards Hongqing, and took the lead in asking a question.

Yes, it's still your own family!

Hearing Wenda ask the law like this, Hongqing couldn't help but be happy in his heart, not for anything else, just because Hongqing had heard the intention behind Wenda's questioning, which was nothing more than a hint to Hongqing, he Wenda had a strong support attitude towards the Eight Banners business, and this was obviously consistent with Hongqing's prior judgment, not entirely because the two families had already decided to marry, but Wenda has always been open-minded, although he has read poetry and books, but he is not the kind of person who only knows the sage Yunshu, and has always had a positive attitude towards commercial circulation. When Hongqing made a big storm in the business, Wenda had eased Hongqing's cheeks in front of the old man, but at that time, Hongqing had never been engaged to Hai Lanzhu, which shows his open-minded attitude towards commercial circulation.

"Lord Wen asked well, this matter must be explained clearly, so to speak, the sea can not be without risk, storms are from time to time, there are also many pirates, if you go in a small boat, it is indeed difficult to have a perfect possibility, however, the sea ship offered by Ben Baylor is similar to the ship that was handed over to the household before, its hull is huge, not slightly worse than the sea ship of the West, even if it encounters wind and waves, there is a certain resistance, the fault is not too bad luck, otherwise there will be no disaster of capsizing, as for the bandits, our fleet is numerous, and there is an escort team to accompany itIn November, Ben Belle sent two sea ships, loaded with porcelain, silk and other things to sail to the South Seas, and this summer has returned smoothly, two ships of goods, deducting various costs, a total of 450,000 taels of silver, converted, it has been ten times the profit, this autumn there are twelve ships to go to the South Seas, the required goods, this Belle has been prepared by the Jiangning weaving Cao family, about half a month later, you can sail to the South Seas, How much profit can be made will be seen at the end of next summer. ”

Knowing that Wenda was helping him build momentum, Hongqing was happy to take this opportunity to publicize the high profits of overseas trade.

"Your Majesty, if it is really as Qing Baylor said, the profit of this Eight Banners firm should be safe, and it will be a common business name of the Eight Banners, which will indeed help a lot in the rectification of flag affairs, and the old minister thinks it is feasible!"

Wenda's original intention was to support the Eight Banners firm, and the reason why he asked for profit as soon as he opened his mouth was to build momentum, but now, Hongqing has said the huge profit so cooperatively, Wenda immediately hit the snake with the stick, and showed his full support in a high-profile manner.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this fact is inappropriate, and he is afraid that it will be detrimental to education if the people follow suit, and the disadvantages will be great, and please make a clear judgment on it."

As soon as Wenda's voice fell, he didn't wait for the old man to react, but he saw that Wang Shizhen, a scholar of Dongge University, had already stood up from the side and objected loudly.

"Lord Wang's words are wrong, overseas trade is inherently huge, but the cost is also high, but it is not the people can do big, it may be difficult to achieve imitation, furthermore, the goods purchased by the Eight Banners are from the people, and although most of the profits from the sale are used for the Eight Banners Banner, but the people also benefit from it, what can not be said, third, the Eight Banners are shared by the Eight Banners, not operated by the imperial court, and the imperial court seems to have nothing to do with it, as for the education, and now the flag is declining, and the security of the capital is often poor, if you can have enough resources to use, why worry about the flag is not in order, this should coincide with the meaning of education? I wonder if Lord Wang thinks so? ”

Hongqing has always had a reputation for unparalleled eloquence, how could he be refuted by clichés such as Wang Shizhen, and he also refuted Wang Shizhen unceremoniously without waiting for the old man to express it.

"Qing Baylor please forgive the official for disagreeing, you must know that the way of the saint is first in education, and the key to education is to be strict in one's own body, now the Eight Banners are the cornerstone of the society, they should have an exemplary image, if the Eight Banners are also engaged in business for profit, how can the people not follow suit? If the world goes down, there will be endless troubles. ”

Wang Shizhen is also famous for his eloquence in the court, although there is no personal grudge between him and Hongqing, but for the sake of the righteousness in his heart, he refuses to admit defeat, and continues to retort impassionedly.

"Lord Wang's words are wrong! The children of the Eight Banners do not participate in the operation, just sit on the dividends, as for the specific matters of overseas trade, they must be carried out by experts, which is called the separation of ownership and management rights, so it can be seen that the establishment of the Eight Banners firm will not affect the atmosphere of the children of the Eight Banners to be diligent in martial arts, as for the example, it is impossible to say! ”

Hongqing wants to run the Eight Banners business for a long time, not temporary, since he has long been prepared to deal with all kinds of difficulties, like Wang Shizhen's remarks, how can it be really difficult to Hongqing, but seeing that he chuckled, he ruthlessly pointed out the fallacy in Wang Shizhen's words.

"Qing Baylor is invited, the old man also has a question, and I also ask Qing Baylor to solve one or two doubts."

Seeing that Wang Shizhen was so excited by Hongqing's words that his face was red, Ma Qike couldn't stand it anymore, not thinking about targeting Hongqing, but for fear that Hongqing and Wang Shizhen would not be able to see each other in court, so he stood up from the side and said a word.

"Lord Ma, please speak, but whoever Ben Belle knows, he will be satisfied with Lord Ma."

Hongqing actually didn't want to really quarrel with Wang Shizhen, and when she saw Ma Qi standing up to interrupt, she was happy to socialize.

"Since Qingbeiler said that the ownership and management rights are separated, how can we ensure that the interests of the Eight Banners are not damaged?"

Ma Qi is also a banner person, he hopes that the children of the Eight Banners can have a head in the future, and he has a positive attitude towards the Eight Banners business.

"This matter is not difficult, Ben Baylor has a strategy to ensure the orderly operation of the firm, this matter is a long story, and allow Ben Baylor to elaborate, well, so to speak, there can be a three-tier mechanism within the firm, one of which is the board of directors, that is, the highest decision-making body, with a chairman of the board of directors and several directors, and this firm is owned by the Eight Banners, and the chairman of the board of directors should be concurrently held by the Holy Lord, and the directors are elected by the Eight Banners to make a decision on the difficult matters hindering the development of the firm; The second is the management level, which is the large and small managers who are responsible for the daily operation, and this layer is only responsible for the daily operation, and regularly reports the progress of various matters to the board of directors to ensure that the board of directors has full control over the company; The third is the supervisory committee, which is composed of non-director candidates nominated by Eight Banners and participants nominated by the management plus ordinary business partners, and is responsible for reviewing all business projects of the firm and even the actions of the board of directors to ensure that there is no greed for ink. ”

When it comes to business matters, Hongqing is smooth, a mouth, even the draft does not need to be typed, and he has already said the composition of the joint-stock company and the mechanism of operation in one breath, and the truth of the words will be put to future generations, it is just a cliché, but in this era, it is an extremely advanced management concept, and everyone is stunned for a while, and the old man will not be able to come to his senses for a long time.

"Wonderful, with this strategy, it can not only prevent the children of the Eight Banners from abandoning the risk of martial arts and business, but also ensure that the dividends due to them are a lot, and it can also ensure that the business is under the control of our imperial court, which is really a wonderful strategy to kill three birds with one stone, Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it is feasible!"

Ma Qi was already extremely interested in the Eight Banners firm, and he had a good relationship with Hongqing, so he was happy to help Hongqing vote when he understood the beauty of the joint-stock company's management system.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that although this matter is a good thing, it must be done carefully, if it is done in a hurry, it will not be beautiful."

As for Chen Tingjing, who also held opposing views, saw this, he sensibly remained silent, as for Zhang Tingyu, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, as usual, he will not express his attitude before the old man has expressed his attitude, but Yin Tai, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy who originally held a neutral attitude, stood up and spoke.

"Well, Lord Yin's words are the words of Lao Chengzhiguo, and this matter really needs to be verified by many parties, Qing'er, let's draw up a charter first, and then discuss it after the fleet returns next summer."

Seeing that Wang and Chen, the two main opponents, were silent, the old man, who was already tempted, also had a fixed opinion, but he did not make a decision on the spot, and only gave a vague explanation.

"Yes, grandson obeys!"

The old man's mind is nothing more than worrying about doing bad things with good intentions, what he is afraid of is that the real benefits of overseas trade are not as huge as Hongqing said, this is to verify the actual benefits and then make calculations, this kind of thinking is not difficult to guess, Hongqing saw it clearly at a glance, but he didn't dare to say it, so he just respectfully agreed.
