Chapter 518: Conservatives

Yang Gai smiled with Zhang Weixian cordially.

"Since this is the case, it is still the old rule, this transaction is naturally the lion's share, and the other shares will be divided by Guogong and other shareholders according to the amount of capital contribution, the more silver is out, the more shares will naturally be, I don't know how much silver Guogong has raised?" Yang Reform didn't talk nonsense, he was already an "old acquaintance" with the nobles, so he asked the silver directly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have raised 1.2 million taels of silver...... Zhang Weixian hurriedly replied, this time, the nobles are also ruthless to contribute, this is sea trade, the emperor is the monopoly of the trade of the Japanese country, if you add the trade promised by the emperor, the trade of these two items alone is enough to make people dizzy, if you look at the long term, after a year or two, the emperor will control the trade of the South Seas, and the profits of this maritime trade will be quite amazing. They also invited "insiders" to estimate the market, and thus estimated that there is a trade volume of several million taels per year, and half of the profits are also there, that is to say, the 1.2 million taels of silver can be repaid in about two or three years, and if it takes a few more years, the profits will have to skyrocket.

"Well, 1,200,000 taels of silver! It's almost, but it's enough to do some business......" I heard that it was only one million and two hundred thousand taels of silver, Yang Reform frowned again, and the number he expected was a little different, Yang Reform felt that this had to be two or three million to be drawn, otherwise, he would lose money, and now he wants to burst the dock, ship, and navy, but he has to take real money out. But I don't know that the nobles are also a name, but the actual money that can be used is limited, many of them are "real estate", and it is almost ruthless to be able to come out of this 1.2 million taels, and many of them are set into the stocks.

“…… In this transaction, there are still some people in the south who will also take shares, and the business of the commercial bank should be divided into two major departments, one responsible for procurement and sales, and the other responsible for transportation,...... I will send someone from Liulizhai to take the helm, and all the major shareholders who have invested can send the shopkeeper to participate...... "Yang Reform is a little absent-minded, this matter, the silver obtained here in Xungui is a little small, thinking that he wants to explode the dock, explode the ship, explode the navy, this bit of silver is less, it seems that he has to get more silver from the southern merchants, and it is not a problem to get more than two million taels of silver together, and these silver have to be deposited in the bank, but it can be turned into four or five million taels of banknotes, these four or five million, You can just take it to explode the port wharf, the ship, and the navy, and don't pay a penny yourself......

However, at the thought of being able to give a lot of shares to Zheng Zhilong's side at a "preferential price" for nothing, Yang Reform was a little unhappy, which was also a helpless thing, Zheng Zhilong also had a lot of people who didn't want to join the sailors, and they were bent on trading, so they had to give them some shares.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands that everything should be done according to His Majesty's orders......" Zhang Weixian said happily.

“…… Other rules, such as the payment of taxes, are not verbose, and those who should be reported are reported, and those who should be paid are paid......" Yang said again.

"Back to Your Majesty, these rules, the ministers can save ......" Zhang Weixian immediately agreed, automatic tax payment has become a major symbol of the imperial party, this has gradually become the consensus of the "imperial party", some people who want to pay taxes, but also have to be tortured by the tax supervisor, and even go through the back door, pull the relationship is not allowed to enter.

After Yang Gengai finished talking about the maritime trade, his mind turned back to the carriage.

“…… By the way, what are the plans of Guogong for the carriage factory's shareholding? Yang Gengai asked about this again.

"Back to Your Majesty, this ...... This ...... "Zhang Weixian listened to the emperor ask about this, he was a little embarrassed, the emperor told him to find a way to raise funds for the carriage yard and expand the scale, but unfortunately, there are very few people who are willing to invest in the carriage factory, the reason is that the carriage yard is certainly profitable, but it is still a small money, and now it is only a few thousand taels, tens of thousands of taels of silver, even if it expands the scale and goes to the south to build a factory, it is a hundred thousand taels of silver, this little money, today's nobles are not very eye-catching, now, their eyes are staring at Liulizhai, Staring at the salt-making, staring at the maritime trade that the emperor said, as for this carriage, ......,

"If you have something to say, just say it......" Yang said.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are not many people who are willing to invest in the carriage field, and the silver money is really limited, so far, it is only 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, and I bought no more than 10% of the stocks......" Zhang Weixian said very embarrassedly, these 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver are still favors, if it weren't for the emperor's face, if it weren't for his Zhang Weixian's face, I'm afraid that there would be no 20,000 taels of silver.

"Hmm,...... Hehehe......" Yang Gai laughed for a while, these nobles are really realistic! It seems that it is possible to let them be their own help, but it is obviously impossible to make them the backbone of technological progress and development, and they are not interested in new technologies.

Zhang Weixian looked at the smiling emperor, hoping to find something from the emperor's face to judge whether he had done something wrong, maybe the carriage yard was worth a big investment.

"I summoned the Duke of the Kingdom today just to talk to the Duke about this carriage......" Yang said with a smile.

Zhang Weixian hurriedly looked at the emperor with admiration, sure enough, the matter of this carriage yard is very different from what he thought, it seems that he still looks away! The emperor made a deal, which one was at a loss? That's not profitable? The emperor has the heart to make a little money? Alas, ......, gone, ......, as soon as the emperor's words opened, Zhang Weixian sighed that he had looked away, knowing that there would be great variables in this carriage yard, looking at the tone of the emperor now, it seems to be a person who earns more than 100,000 taels of silver every year.

"I plan to vigorously promote this carriage, and this carriage and carriage-related things should have a great development......," Zhang Gai said, organizing his words.

"Hmm......" Zhang Weixian regretted when he heard it, sure enough, he was bad, the emperor would not let himself work blindly if he had nothing to do, and told himself to pay attention to the carriage yard, which was to give himself a hint, but now I look, I am blind, the emperor hinted that he didn't understand, and now the carriage yard is worth a lot, but unfortunately, it is a pity that the stock of the carriage yard should have been done a long time ago! But now, the stocks held by the nobles add up to only one percent, which is really blind......

"This matter is already a bit eyebrow-raising now, and the prince should pay attention to the matter of the carriage yard! Haha...... "Yang Reform played a haha, these nobles, they can only give a vague signal, can't be too transparent, let them know the direction they are concerned about, let them contribute, the rest, but there is no need to let them know too much, they are a real rentier class, they are not interested in the country's basic investment, this has to come by themselves."

"Your Majesty Xie for your advice, the minister understands......" Zhang Weixian got the emperor's guidance, very happy, it seems that this carriage yard has to make a fortune again, he has to go back to buy the carriage yard stocks quickly, think that the stocks of the carriage yard are now low, he can take a big share, of course, he has to get rid of the emperor, now all the business, the emperor has to take the lion's share.

……

After sending away the British public Zhang Weixian, Yang Gai got a message, that is, although the nobles can be their own help, can help themselves, and can borrow their power, in the final analysis, they are still a "conservative class", not pioneers, and are not very interested in creative, challenging, and forward-looking things in addition to the existing ways and means of profit. Obviously, they are not interested in investing heavily in basic research, and Yang Reform has a deep understanding of this through the performance of the nobles, and they are rushing to make money, and those who do not make money, do not understand, and have no interest at all.

Yang reform fell into deep thought, now his own "team" mode of operation, there may be deficiencies, need to make up, that is, the lack of pioneering, lack of innovative spirit, united around the people, the "ingredients" are still too single, they have to find a way to inhale more "ingredients", to ensure that their "team" has enough pioneering and innovative spirit, their "team" can be sustainable.

After thinking about it, Yang Reform has some eyebrows, and his reform "team", except for the nobles who are bureaucrats, or businessmen related to them, the others seem to be gone, what else is missing? What is still lacking is to include ordinary people in their own "team", the composition of their current "team" is too single, and it is difficult for the largest number of ordinary people to participate in and rise to this "team", which is a big mistake, lack of pioneering and innovative, too much conservative force, and now completely rely on their own to guide the country, which is very dangerous.

It is indeed necessary to include ordinary people in their own reform "team", so that more ordinary people can enjoy the fruits of their own reform, and to let more ordinary people gain room for growth through their own reforms, absorb more ordinary people, and dilute the too single bloodline of their own "team".

Considering this, Yang Reform fell into deep thought, thought for a while, and supplemented the carriage manufacturing plan and transportation plan that he was going to implement, and this interest had to be tilted towards ordinary people close to him, and he had to give birth to a group of ordinary people to enter the "upper" society, and he had to give birth to a new class, and he had to supplement a group of fresh blood, otherwise, just by relying on these old conservative reforms, he would inevitably be eaten by these conservatives one day.

I need "new people", this is the realization of Yang reform. RO！ ~！
