Chapter 715: There is no way back
readx;
Liu Chengfeng arrived half an hour later, his face was not very good-looking, he must have been angry by the cabinet, but when he stepped into this shareholder bureau, he unconsciously showed a smile on his face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Liu Chengfeng's shares in the firm are actually only one percent, not too much, the annual bonus is only millions of taels of silver, but here, he felt everyone's respect for him, this respect is not fake, not because of his status, he stepped in, almost everyone stood up unconsciously, although everyone was silently towards him, but this attitude was very sincere.
Liu Chengfeng pressed his hand and said with a smile: "There are some chores that make you wait for a long time." After that, he looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Highness, Weichen is late." ”
Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Master Liu, don't say such things, it's too angry, come, Master Liu, please take a seat." ”
Zhu Houzhao didn't have any rules, he just felt that Liu Chengfeng should preside over this meeting, he was convinced of Liu Chengfeng's ability, and willingly let Liu Chengfeng decide what to discuss later.
But Liu Chengfeng refused, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "What is this, not to mention the identity of His Royal Highness, in this stock bureau, who has the most shares, who can sit on this seat indiscriminately, I am only the second largest shareholder, where can I dominate." After that, he moved the chair and put it under Zhu Houzhao, and sat side by side with the prince of Shouning and the prince of Chengguo.
Zhu Houzhao was bored, but he was not annoyed, but he smiled and said: "Since Master Liu is polite, then the palace has no choice but to give in." To tell the truth, Master Liu doesn't come here much, most of the time, in fact, we are here behind closed doors to discuss things, there are many ignorant things in this palace, and thanks to everyone's suggestions...... "Zhu Houzhao is actually very decent to speak here, in fact, this person is not stupid or stupid, it can even be said that the prince's talent is extremely smart, but in the eyes of the emperor and ministers, he is still young, and he always treats him as a child, so Zhu Houzhao naturally has a rebellious mentality, More and more unscrupulous. But here, Zhu Houzhao clearly has a bit of bearing, and his childish face is a little calm, which is completely different from the kind of fear and fear during the cabinet meeting, and he continued: "The reason why I called everyone here today to hold a special meeting is because of the cabinet. ”
When everyone heard the word cabinet, their faces were not good-looking, what is the cabinet? The cabinet represents the imperial court, in a sense, most of the people here are the people, and the imperial court is the official, the people do not fight with the officials This is an ancient admonition, His Royal Highness the prince is noble, but everyone knows that the prince is the prince, even if the cabinet respects the prince, but it does not mean that the cabinet will listen to the prince, even if the prince ascends to the top and becomes the emperor, it may not make the cabinet completely obey his wishes.
In fact, by the time of the Hongzhi Dynasty, the strength of this cabinet had begun to swell, and no one here was a fool, and everyone knew the weight of the cabinet.
Zhu Hou glanced at Liu Chengfeng and said: "I heard some rumors in the palace, and the cabinet plans to check our Jubao firm, but I'm afraid that in a while, someone should come to impeach, Master Liu, what do you think?" ”
Here, it seems to be a commercial cabinet, the cabinet represents the interests of the gentry all over the world, and here, it is more like representing the interests of the emerging business class, Liu Chengfeng has naturally become the most powerful representative of this class, if Zhu Houzhao is the backstage, then Liu Chengfeng is the most popular figure in this class.
It's just that compared to now, the strength of the gentry is enough to completely crush the merchants, if it weren't for the encouragement and support from the palace, if it weren't for Liu Chengfeng's best efforts to maintain and fight, I'm afraid that this situation would have already festered. Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath, and saw that many people were looking at him, and their eyes were not confident and dependent on themselves, he sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but think, these people don't seem to have the consciousness to confront the gentry at all, in the end, the thousand-year-old fixed talk thinking is too deep, and when something happens at this time, they are afraid that the first thing they think of is how to make the old men of the cabinet angry.
But only Liu Chengfeng understands best, today is a step away, tomorrow someone will be more aggressive, you take a step back, they will not hesitate to catch up with a step, when you are useful, maybe for those ministers of the imperial court in order to increase some of the treasury revenue can also make you survive, once it is useless, they will not hesitate to kick aside.
So this step must not be backed.
Liu Chengfeng said slowly: "Your Highness, Weichen wants to ask a word." ”
Zhu Houzhao originally wanted to ask him, but in fact, Zhu Houzhao's question was exactly the question that everyone here wanted to ask, they wanted to know what to do now, and they couldn't find the answer themselves, so they naturally thought of this seemingly omnipotent Liu Chengfeng, but who knows, Liu Chengfeng is good, but he came to ask Zhu Houzhao instead.
When Zhu Houzhao heard that Master Liu was going to ask himself, he immediately became serious and said, "Master Liu, but it doesn't hurt to ask. ”
Liu Chengfeng said: "Your Highness thinks that this world belongs to the cabinet, or to the Zhu family?" ”
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say: "Jiangshan Sheji naturally belongs to the Zhu family. ”
Liu Chengfeng said: "That's right, so from my point of view, the cabinet is not terrible, as long as the Ming Dynasty is still surnamed Zhu, why should you bother yourself, even if the cabinet wants to act against business, but this business house is closely related to the royal family, that is, let them tell right and wrong, let them investigate?" To tell the truth, I haven't taken care of the affairs of the firm in the past two years, and I also know that in this business, sometimes it is inevitable to touch something that should not be touched, especially when going to sea. There are both bad and good things in the commercial bank, and there are things to do in the criminal department, but not to mention anything else, just talk about the business bank, how many people eat mixed food, hundreds of thousands, and this is only a direct benefit, with this open sea trade, there are many people who benefit indirectly, so many people eat this mouthful, I don't believe it, his cabinet really wants to dismantle this platform, they want to dismantle this platform, so let them come and see it. ”
To tell the truth, the cabinet really wants to find trouble for the commercial firms, so that the commercial banks can't get by, and dozens of millions of people will be unemployed in the world immediately, and Liu Chengfeng believes that the cabinet cannot afford this responsibility.
However, this sentence really made people pause, and Zhu Lin, the prince of Chengguo, couldn't help patting his knees and said, "Yes, what are we afraid of?" If they really want to act against business, even if we are afraid, is the cabinet not afraid? To put it mildly, if something really happened, they were also responsible. ”
Shouning Gong Zhang Heling said: "Yes, what are you afraid of, it is impossible for the palace to sit back and watch them mess around, when I go back, I will go to the palace and blow the wind with Queen Zhang first." ”
Zhu Lin, who spoke just now, said: "My father knows a lot of people in Nanjing, if there is really an imperial envoy who stands up, let's let people fight each other, and we are not afraid of him." ”
The rest of the people offered advice one after another, this said: "But they want to investigate, we can't be idle, no matter what, we have to save some Dongzang, try to let them check the unsubstantiated good, this matter is on me." ”
The one said: "We can ask some gentry and masters who are engaged in business to jointly sign a petition together, and we don't believe it, they can go their own way." ”
Zhu Houzhao listened to everyone who made suggestions, and suddenly he was also excited, racked his brains, and said, "This palace ...... If there is a chance in this palace, it will naturally make suggestions to his father. Then he smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, my father would rather listen to the cabinet than the palace, but in fact, it is Master Liu's words that my father is willing to listen." ”
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly: "Actually, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too nervous, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, you see, everyone works together, does this firm seem to be so weak and bullying now?" ”
Liu Chengfeng's role is actually to provide courage for everyone, now everyone points to the firm to eat, more importantly, the people here are not actually in power, although there is no power, but there are noble people, rich people who rival the country, everyone doesn't want to be like those people in the DPRK to do something, and this firm is actually a platform, the firm also has a broad space, hundreds of thousands of people's livelihoods, nearly 100,000 people's arms, and all the workshops are closely related to business, There is also the capital to deal with the vassal countries of the world, these, in fact, bring you not only to make money, but also a kind of pleasure that you can talk and do things, just like that Zhang Heling, the Zhang family's business is all over the world, and now it is also considered to be rich, but he is still very keen on the affairs of the commercial bank, and regards himself as a shareholder, as long as he is in the capital, he almost does not pull down the meeting of the shareholders' bureau, the reason why this is so is because Zhang Heling enjoys this feeling, this feeling of decision-making.
In fact, the crown prince is the same, don't look at his noble status, but in the eyes of the emperor and courtiers, he is just an ignorant child, so he has someone to talk about him when he eats, someone wants to teach him rules when he dresses, and even when he speaks, someone is talking about him, named Prince, in fact, he is just a captive canary, but here, what he can find here is not only money, but more to enjoy the process, the firm makes a lot of money because of his resolution, he will dance excitedly, and there are vassal countries to put pressure on the firm, he will be indignant, When he strongly supported the revenge in the shareholders' bureau, and even his plan was realized, how unforgettable that feeling was. Here, he is no longer a child in the eyes of others, nor is he the prince of Daming who must follow the rules, the rules here are in the hands of everyone here.
So from the very beginning, there was no way back for everyone, and they must not compromise.
