Chapter 29 Investment Projects
The first wind and rain drifted away
The sun is slanting in the west, and the sun is thrown in the Tingyu Xuan, which seems to be a little hot.
Cao Huachun wiped the fine sweat on his forehead slightly, and said cautiously: "The emperor has recently reopened the factory and guard, and the raid on the courtiers has been widely implicated.
If you blindly use the strong, in the long run, you are afraid that they will ......"
Speaking of this, Cao Huachun paused, not daring to continue.
"What are you afraid of? Are you still afraid that they will turn against the sky? ”
Emperor Chongzhen squinted at Cao Huachun, shook his dragon robe, and said domineeringly.
When a person is rich, his waist is straight, and the same is true of this emperor's house.
During this period of time, there are really a lot of inputs.
Although the specific number is not yet known, if you add the part of the high diving that is confiscated, it is appropriate to think that tens of millions.
Over the past two hundred years, the Ming Dynasty has accumulated many ills. The solidification of class and the flow of money into the hands of a small number of people is one of them.
But in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, who is more active-minded, this is actually not bad.
Because it is easy to raid.
There is a way that it is better for a family to cry than for thousands of families to cry!
The Liao salary, which has just been abolished, has made people angry and angry, and it only gets more than 5 million taels of silver a year, but what about now?
is not obvious, and it is easy to get into the account, how can it be a sour and refreshing taste?
Of course, this money cannot be retained, it has to be used for investment, it has to be re-established, and then it is distributed again.
And the project chosen by Emperor Chongzhen is also relatively special, investing in the army.
In the eyes of many people, they often feel that the army is a burden, and a huge amount of money is invested every year, but it is only consumed and cannot produce benefits.
Wrong! Narrow-minded!
In fact, in addition to the function of protecting the family and defending the country, the army also has the most primitive function that has been concealed, that is, plundering and collecting protection money.
If you want to put it in a more vulgar and simple language, it is to grab money or sit on the ground and share the spoils, waiting to collect the money, without any risk.
Of course, not everyone can invest in this project, in the past, Emperor Chongzhen, who crossed over, could only think about it.
But now, he can invest openly, and the money comes quickly, efficiently.
The company is ready-made, and when Daoyou enters Beijing, he, the chairman, assigns tasks, and everyone brings some start-up capital, and the company can make a profit immediately.
When the time comes, the company will grow, and what will those rotten people in the court count?
How did Cao Huachun, an old thing, know that Emperor Chongzhen had hills and ravines in his chest, mountains and rivers in his eyes, and he still had a bitter face, looking worried.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he was a little moved in his heart, after all, the old thing is also thinking about my safety?
Speaking of which, in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, those Ming officials or eunuchs who died before and after the Jiashen National Disaster must be reused.
And those that don't die are used only in selective quantities.
However, although the person in front of him did not accompany the deity to the underworld like Wang Chengen, he did a moving move and suffered for hundreds of years.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Jiashen was in a national disaster, and Jiannu entered Beijing. For the sake of buying people's hearts, he held a three-day funeral for the deity, and then buried it hastily.
After about half a year, Shunzhi Xiaoer arrived in Beijing.
Cao Huachun unexpectedly rushed from Tianjin to Beijing, risking his life, and asked for proper handling of the construction of the tomb of the deity.
Shunzhi Xiao'er had no choice but to agree to Cao Huachun's request, but did not allocate the silver taels, and only let him be responsible for handling it.
As a result, he could only raise money from the Donglin Party members who had a good relationship.
But at this time, a demonic wind blew.
A group of Donglin Party members who surrendered to the mite Qing and held stinky feet jumped out to report, saying that Li Zicheng attacked Beijing at that time because Cao Huachun took the initiative to open the city gate.
"Open the door to welcome the thief, the thief enters the city, stands up to serve the people, enters the capital in the Qing Dynasty today, and returns to the servants, this traitorous minister, although ten thousand beheadings are not enough to convince the hearts of the people."
Actually, where is this?
When the city broke, the old thing had been in Tianjin for six years! Not in Beijing at all!
Cao Huachun Shangshu defended himself, although there is no video recording, but the alibi evidence is conclusive and the facts are clear.
But these people are not just mad dogs, they also use various occasions and methods to slander Cao Huachun, and use the resources they have at their disposal to smear old things in various literature and history.
"The End of the Ming History Chronicle", "Guoyi", "Ming Ji Beiluo", and "Ming Tongjian" are all written about the city gate opened by Cao Huachun.
Later, when the old man read the notes on the history of the wild from the south, he saw that the accusation that he had opened the city gate was quite marketable, and he was very afraid that "if it is widely circulated and the author does not confirm it, it will become infinitely filthy." ”
But the old thing is not a big V, he doesn't control the water army, and he doesn't have the power to delete posts.
In desperation, he had no choice but to organize and archive some important documents when he was in power, and also wrote a will in advance and made four poems.
One of them says: Serving the country is foolish and reckless, who is the unwarranted accusation? The family was slandered for six years, and believed that the past history was not true.
The old thing's indignation and helplessness were overflowing, and he finally realized the shamelessness of the literati.
More than ten years later, the old thing passed away in depression with a black cauldron on his back.
This is also a bitter force!
There is no doubt that the old thing is loyal, how to use him properly, Emperor Chongzhen thought with his chin propped up.
Speaking of which, Emperor Chongzhen was somewhat dissatisfied with the old things, because he had always been relatively close to the Donglin Party.
Historically, Qian Qianyi, the Donglin tycoon who was enjoying prison at this time, was rescued by him and caused the traitor Wen Tiren to get out.
It's a pity that he himself didn't fall into the favor.
It is estimated that the deity did not like him to do politics, and in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, he let him go home to retire when he was just in his fifties.
Of course, on the surface, he himself proposed to be sick, and the deity falsely kept it, and finally had no choice but to break up.
The current Emperor Chongzhen also didn't like him to be close to the Donglin Party, so Gao Shiming, Wang Chengen, Fang Zhenghua and others who were not as qualified as him were all reused, but he was the only one who did not use him.
"Companion, I have an extremely important thing for you to do, I hope you can do it well?"
A breeze blew, raising the paper on the table, and Emperor Chongzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking of something urgent.
"Your Majesty, please command?"
Cao Huachun leaned over to listen to the order.
"I am ready to invest a huge amount of money to establish the Ming Empire Weekly, that is, the Imperial Court Newspaper. It is used to control speech, propagate education, transmit imperial edicts, and open up the wisdom of the people. ”
There is no need to hide the old things, Emperor Chongzhen directly stated his intentions and controlled his words.
Thinking of the reason for transportation, he gave up the daily newspaper and instead surveyed once a week.
"The old slave commands!"
The Son of Heaven made a decree, but Cao Huachun did not dare to refuse, so he could only lean over to receive the decree.
However, the job suited him well.
Cao Huachun's family background is modest, he entered the palace at the age of twelve or thirteen, poetry, calligraphy and painting, all of which are fine, and he can be regarded as a talented eunuch.
"Let's talk as we go, and I'll tell you some specific ideas."
The weather is getting hotter, listening to Yuxuan is not suitable for staying any longer, Emperor Chongzhen stepped out of the pavilion.
PS: Thank you for the reward from the book friend's family, I admit it.
