Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
What is good from above will be followed by the next.
Jiangnan has entered the rainy season, and the drizzle seems to be endless. Every once in a while, a drop of water falls from the eaves.
The two unicorn beasts in front of the Jin King's Mansion stared at them with big eyes and a menacing momentum, but in the end they were two stones.
Liu Quan walked up the steps, didn't hold back his curiosity, and reached out to touch it. It's a rough stone, and it feels like any other stone, but it looks really powerful.
A gray-headed middle-aged man hurriedly walked out and beckoned, "Liu Dongjia, you are here"
He used to be the second treasurer of the Shang Alliance, and now he is the steward of the Jin Palace-Ning Sheng.
Ning Sheng's age was a little younger than Liu Quan, and it was strange that his head had turned white very early. He used to be the second shopkeeper of the Shang League, and now he is the housekeeper of the Jin Palace, and there is no shortage of money at home. So, the only way for him to do it was to remove all the bronze mirrors from the house.
Liu Quan arched his hand: "Steward Ning"
Ning Sheng grabbed Liu Quan's arm and said, "Isn't Liu Dongjia slapping me in the face when he talks like this?"
The two greeted each other, and Ning Sheng revealed: "You came at the right time, the prince is at home today, and he is in a good mood."
Ning Sheng used to be Zhai Zhe's shopkeeper who monitored Liu Quan in the Shang Alliance, and after helping to repair the Jin Palace, he was left by Zhai Zhe as a housekeeper this time. And this decision was made after Liu Quan asked Shangmeng to withdraw from the salt business and go all out to form a money village. If there was no reminder from Liu Suifeng, Liu Quan might still be ignorant.
Ning Sheng's power was limited to the outer courtyard, and there were guards leading the way.
Liu Quan hadn't come to see Zhai Zhe for a long time, and he cherished every opportunity to meet.
Zhai Zhecai finished breakfast and was reading the official documents sent from all over the country. The general is nominally only in charge of military affairs, but in fact, every decision of the cabinet, the Jin Palace, has a backup, because the cabinet is supplemented by Ma Shiying.
The Ming Dynasty's strategy of imperial martial arts has collapsed, but so far, in addition to pushing for the lifting of the sea ban, Zhai Zhe has not been involved in the affairs of the cabinet. This is the most proud day for Ma Shiying, Chen Zilong, Zhang Guowei and others. Of course, in addition to being proud, they will not ignore the eyes staring at them from behind.
The area where the Jin Dynasty Mansion handles affairs and the living area in the palace are divided into two areas. The court and military affairs of various places enter through the west gate.
Liu Quan has no position, and if he wants to meet the King of Jin, he must go through the door of the Jin Palace. However, with his identity, even if the housekeeper is not Ning Sheng, he will not be in trouble when he sees King Jin.
Walking through a small door with the guards, it was as if entering another world, with a forest of sentries and a solemn breath.
"No wonder the Jin Palace" Liu Quan secretly sighed.
The Jin Palace, which is not only the residence of the King of Jin, but also the place where the King of Jin handles affairs, and also serves as the General's Mansion, which is actually an invisible palace in the city of Nanjing.
Pedestrians along the way were in a hurry, including generals in armor and staff in scribe uniforms, who did not greet each other, and no one looked at Liu Quan much.
Liu Quan followed the guards to a spacious palace.
After waiting at the door for a moment, the guards who had entered came out and motioned for him to enter.
Walking into the main hall and passing through a corridor, Liu Quan saw a mahogany carved door open, he walked over and saw Zhai Zhe drinking tea outside the door.
His figure appeared at the door, blocking some of the light, and Zhai Zhe raised his head.
Liu Quanshi: "Meet the prince"
Zhai Zhe beckoned: "You came just in time, the Ming Dynasty Longjing of West Lake, come and taste it" He is very kind and affectionate, like an old friend who has not seen him for a long time
Teacups and teapots are placed on the coffee table, and steam is emitted from the small stove next to it.
How dare Liu Quan let Zhai Zhe do it and make tea by himself. The water vapor is swirling, and a layer of pale green leaves stretches out in the water.
Before the Ming Dynasty, Longjing was a treasure in tea, and he also had some at home. This used to be a tribute, but the emperor alone couldn't drink that much, so dignitaries and nobles with good tea often got some.
"General" Liu Quan took out three contracts from his sleeves and said: "In the past two years, the business alliance has been restructured, and now it is mainly engaged in military armor, money and shipbuilding......
Zhai Zhewei was stunned for a moment, and said, "What are you suing me for?" You are the owner of the business alliance, just do it."
Liu Quan is a smart person, and having such a knowledge of current affairs under the tree can reduce a lot of trouble. His original actions against the business alliance no longer need to be implemented. How good is this, it avoids the rift between each other, after all, talent is rare. Zhai Zhe knew that Liu Suifeng must have given Liu Quan ideas, which he was happy to see, because he would not let the Liu family control the military power.
"Rishengchang Qian Zhuang, the Broken Soldier Workshop, and the Breaking Wave Shipyard that is about to be prepared in Hangzhou Bay, all need a lot of silver, so the business alliance is selling off various industries in recent days, here are the share division contracts of these three firms, according to the shares of the business alliance, the prince accounts for eighty percent of the shares in these firms"
Zhai Zhe dipped in a sip of tea and asked, "With so much business, can you be busy?" ”
Liu Quan bowed and said: "There is a big shopkeeper in charge of every line, and I am actually just a helmsman."
"This is very good" Zhai Zhe touched Yu Yujing's chin that was shaved, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since the three businesses have their own big shopkeepers, they must operate independently. You convert all my shares into the bank, and I don't want the shares of the war workshop and the shipyard."
Liu Quan was shocked, this was something he hadn't thought of before he came.
When Zhai Zhe heard his reply, he seemed to be worried, and said: "If you are short of money for shipbuilding, you can borrow the Rishengchang from the Rishengchang, and the big shopkeeper of the Rishengchang is still you, but you are busy with affairs, I will find two more shopkeepers to help you."
Sure enough, he couldn't escape, and Liu Quan's hands and feet were stiff. These two shopkeepers are helpers and overseers.
"From now on, you are the owner of the Broken Capture and the Broken Waves, and the Rishengchang also has your shares in this way, you don't lose money."
Through the water vapor, Zhai Zhe's face fell on Liu Quan's eyes very hazy, and King Jin's voice was very easy-going.
The business alliance was unclear in the past, and Liu Quan got a lot of money. He can do business in the name of the General's Mansion, and no one dares to stop him, because the Shang Alliance is indeed the General's industry.
Zhai Zhe knew this, but he had no intention of changing the situation. The business alliance is his own industry, but how much benefit does he get from it? Almost all of his money was spent on raising soldiers, which was not a long-term thing after all. When the cabinet has power, they have to bear the burden of preparing military salaries for the various places, and their powers and responsibilities are interdependent.
After the establishment of the Rishengchang, the silver of the King of Jin had nothing to do with the treasury. If the household department is short of silver, it can be borrowed from the Rishengchang with a note, but the household department Shangshu can no longer be just an idle eater.
In short, what the Jin king has will be separated from what the court has.
This is just the beginning, and there will be all kinds of troubles in the process of implementation, but without the beginning, there will be no progress, let alone improvement.
Liu Quan is a good financial manager, and it is only fitting for him to serve as the chief treasurer of the Rishengchang.
Liu Quan's heart anxiously calculated, and arched his hand: "The prince is too generous, I shouldn't take so much."
Zhai Zhe waved his hand and said, "You have three sons, one is in politics, and both of them are in charge of the business. But your Liu family has a big business, and it is estimated that it will not be busy, I will give you an idea, if your son is promising, let your son be in charge, if your son does not have that ability, just like me, find a capable shopkeeper
After he finished speaking, he laughed and pointed his finger at Liu Quan opposite.
Liu Quan nodded and said, "What the prince taught"
In the Ming Dynasty, the Jin merchants and the Hui merchants had their own characteristics, and the Hui merchants valued the Confucian family, and the scholars were excellent. Jin merchants have gone further in the system, the best talents go to business, and the second is the official. Jin Shang first proposed a system of splitting shares and dividends. In order to avoid the failure of the children in the family to lose the family business, the Jin merchants practiced the responsibility system of the big shopkeeper.
It is most convenient to talk about this kind of cooperation with Liu Quan, and you don't need to say too much.
In the past few years, when faced with existential threats, all ideas were illusory. After gaining a firm foothold in Jiangnan, Zhai Zhe began to seek change, but he was still cautious, hoping that this change would help the Jin Palace, instead of making a mess out of control.
Money is a double-edged sword, but it is also a source of social progress.
"This matter is settled," Zhai Zhe said very crisply, "You go back to account for the accounts, and assign 20% of the business alliance industry to your Liu family, and the rest will be converted into the Rishengchang number."
Liu Quan got up and bowed, to: "Obey"
On the way back, Liu Quan has been calculating that 20% of the business alliance's industry belongs to him, and Rishengchang has another 10% share of the Liu family, and he actually owns nearly 30% of the capital of the business alliance, which can be regarded as Jiangnan Fu. King Jin did treat him very favorably, but from now on, the Liu family and King Jin will no longer be as indistinguishable from each other as before.
If he can't sit firmly in the position of the treasurer of Rishengchang, the advantages of the Liu family will immediately disappear. He had enjoyed the days when money came to him for more than a year, but now that everything was over, he wanted to set his goals again.
After Liu Quan left, Zhai Zhe was still making tea.
The reason why tea is precious before the Ming Dynasty is because of the first tea leaves that come out when spring arrives. After a long hibernation in winter, the buds are at their most vigorous.
The Risheng Chang stored his expectations.
At a certain stage, the resumption of treasure money is his ultimate goal.
He laid out a lot of bureaus, such as the lecture hall in Hangzhou and the academy in Suzhou. He didn't know what these things would look like. He just sows the seeds, maybe the seedlings will die, maybe they will grow into monsters that devour a qiē, maybe one day even he himself will be devoured by these things, that is the general trend.
When Daming grew into a land full of **, neither Qinglu nor Zheng Zhilong could stop him from moving forward.
** will bring many problems, there will be a violent conflict between money and tradition, and he just needs to sit firmly in the position of the general and whip the Ming forward.
