Chapter 241: Shocking news arrives in the capital
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was an extremely intelligent man.
I quickly figured out the structure of the company.
It is not true to say that it is a business house.
It should be a consortium of a group of comptoirs.
Through a mechanism similar to stocks, the interests of this consortium are ensured.
Under this kind of association, there are also many advantages, because theoretically speaking, the risks at sea are so great that no single merchant can afford to lose a shipwreck or be plundered.
And once the scale increases tenfold or tenfold, the number of times you go to sea will change from one to dozens or hundreds, and even if there are some shipwrecks, you can earn them back from other places.
The mechanism of stocks is actually just a means of distributing spoils.
This is equivalent to attracting countless people to become investors, and everyone partners together to do big business.
Of course...... The Emperor of the Apocalypse understands everything now.
The only place he didn't count.
That's profit.
Can there be such a big benefit in just sailing on the sea that the stock can be worth a lot of money?
Now it seems that Zhang Qing's family suffers from this, Zhang Qing's family thinks it is worth the price, but now...... More people did not agree with this price, so everyone did not buy it, and even those who had stocks sold to Zhang Jingyi.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse, like those Francophiles, did not agree with this value.
With the purchase and sale of a boat, it is also worthy of such huge profits?
Joke.
It's not that I haven't opened the sea in the Ming Dynasty, and I haven't collected much tax, and those maritime merchants haven't cried bitterly one by one, saying that they have died?
The Emperor of the Apocalypse had also made up the idea of opening the sea to collect taxes, but he soon gave up.
The maritime merchants are miserable, listing their countless tragic experiences, and how they lost all their money in the end.
So much so that the Emperor of the Apocalypse sympathized with them, you know, after the opening of the sea in Longqing, the Governor's Pavilion was responsible for managing private overseas trade and collecting taxes, but in fact, these taxes were a drop in the bucket.
There are also many ministers who have written to them, saying that the people of this boat have been exploited, miserable, and miserable to the extreme.
To tell the truth, after watching these songs, the Emperor of the Apocalypse himself couldn't help but want to cry, and even had the urge to take out a little money from his inner pocket to subsidize these poor maritime merchants.
"Hey......" The Emperor of the Apocalypse shook his head again, and couldn't help but sigh.
Because he knew that the money was really wasted.
All of them are liars.
As soon as he thought of this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was anxious about Zhang Jingyi's IQ.
He picked up one of the notes, which was about what Jinyiwei had inquired about, a month ago.
This note, the Emperor of the Apocalypse treasures it every time, and he has to take it out every once in a while, because there is a piece of information reported in it.
Zhang Jingyi's name is known even to the people of Franc Ji, and now everyone has given him a nickname, called ...... Oriental stupid donkey.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse closed his eyes, and a donkey face lingered in his mind.
Zhang Jingyi is a stupid donkey.
Why not?
As soon as he thought of this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was eager to issue an order to expel these Franc Ji people from Macau again.
……
Zhang Jingyi returned to his mansion, but he had already begun to decorate.
He needs to set up a working group to seal the mound.
Not only do the personnel of the military academy have to be transferred, but in Fengqiu, there is also a need to send a brocade guard and a hundred household officials, and even ...... There are also some officials.
Such a big Zhuangzi is still safe now, after all, it is north of the Yellow River.
But next year, it's hard to say.
Zhang Jingyi took out the thing at the bottom of the box, which was a drawing of the fortress.
This drawing was originally designed by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and Zhang Jingyi always felt that the fortress in this drawing was very strong and impeccable.
He had to praise in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor of the Apocalypse was simply a genius.
So, Zhang Jingyi recruited Shao Ning.
Guan Shaoning was even thinner, and he saluted Zhang Jing: "Teacher." ”
"How's it going to be in the new district?"
"Good." Guan Shao Ning said truthfully: "But there are too many things, and they are too miscellaneous, students don't care about whether it's good or not, they just want to get the things in front of them done, and then think about the next thing." ”
Zhang Jingyi was very satisfied with Guan Shaoning, nodded and said: "The new area is on the right track, and you have also cultivated a lot of people, so it will not be a problem to hand over these things to them in the future." ”
"How can you be a shopkeeper for students?"
Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Because I have a more important thing for you to do." ”
Guan Shaoning's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said, "Please teach the teacher." ”
"Go to Henan to set up a political envoy, and Henan will seal the hill."
"Ah......" Guan Shaoning was obviously very surprised, and said in surprise: "The student heard that there was a large-scale rogue in the Henan Political Envoy Division. ”
"It's not for you to suppress the Kou, but for you to manage, Your Majesty has sealed 3,000 hectares of land for me, this place is very big, and someone needs to take care of it, after you go, only do one thing, build a city, and build it according to this."
As he spoke, Zhang Jingyi pushed the drawings on the case to Guan Shaoning's side.
Guan Shaoning picked it up and looked down, he was now experienced, just by looking at it, he knew that this was a military town.
"Teacher, this is what you want to ......"
Zhang Jingyi said with a straight face: "You don't need to ask the reason, how much manpower do you need!" I give, how much food is needed, I will give too! Fengqiu, this year, should be peaceful, I will send Jinyi Wei and the first and second teaching teams to go with you to protect your safety, you only need to do one thing, that is, to build the city for me. ”
Guan Shaoning couldn't help frowning and said: "Henan's political envoys are in chaos, and there are homeless people and rogues everywhere, don't you care?" ”
Zhang Jingyi spit out two words very directly: "No matter." ”
"Are the people clothed and hungry?"
Zhang Jingyi had a calm face: "I don't care, even if I want to take care of it, I can't take care of it anymore, at least don't care about it now." You may requisition the good people of the land, and build the city with the craftsmen whom we have allocated, and at all costs, and the rest...... Now is not the time. ”
Guan Shaoning looked at Zhang Jingyi's serious expression, and finally nodded, but he still couldn't help asking: "What is the teacher doing this for?" ”
Zhang Jing thought about it, but said, "You really want to know?" ”
Guan Shaoning said solemnly: "The student really wants to." ”
Zhang Jing said: "You and I, teachers and students, really shouldn't hide anything, but it's a bit taboo to say it." ”
Guan Shao Ning said: "I share weal and woe with my teacher, and my teacher ordered me to go to Fengqiu, and the students will never dare to refuse, but the students should always know the reason." ”
Zhang Jing said: "I think there is something wrong with the posture of those rogues rebelling, they only know why they rebel, but they don't know what the purpose of rebellion is, so the teacher taught them what the correct posture should look like." ”
Guan Shaoning was shocked.
After all, he was born as a scholar, and he really never thought that he would embark on this path.
"What, what's wrong?"
Guan Shaoning asked with a solemn expression: "Will the teacher rebel?" ”
"I'm not against it." Zhang Jingyi's expression was very sincere, and he continued: "I have received the grace of the country in my life, and the other sons of heaven are just that, but Your Majesty is as kind to me as a mountain, not because I am stupid and loyal, but I really can't do such a thing, so everyone in the world is against it, and I will not be against it." ”
Guan Shaoning: "......"
sent away the confused Guan Shao Ning.
Zhang Jing lay on the bookcase, picked up the pen, and wrote down one order after another.
Money and food.
Artisan.
Two teaching teams of the military academy.
A hundred households.
Carefully selected, most of the family members are still in the capital's labor.
This almost put half of Zhang Jingyi's net worth into it.
Under the escort of two teaching teams, the Zhang family dispatched thousands of donkeys and horses, more than 400 carts, and two newly expanded teaching teams, numbering more than 500.
In addition, there was a large amount of grain, more than 270 craftsmen, and more than 2,500 young people, who set off and headed straight for Fengqiu.
When the news came out, the capital was shaken again.
Of course, the main thing that is making trouble is south of the Yellow River, but everyone knows that the Fengqiu north of the Yellow River will be unsafe sooner or later.
Just when everyone was shocked.
But there were already people who arrived in the capital quickly.
This man was an ordinary official, and when he arrived day and night, he hurriedly asked where the Honglu Temple was.
Then, when he was about to enter Honglu Temple, he was stopped by the messenger in front of the door.
So there was a conflict between the two sides, and the man shouted and finally alarmed the people inside.
The little official saw that he was about to be arrested, but he saw a Francophone man come out, so he said, "Sir, sir...... I have come to see you by order of the Governor, there is a great matter, a great ......"
After hearing this, the Buddha man hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and after dredging with the people of the Nahonglu Temple, he finally invited this person.
When they arrived in the hall, several Francophiles looked at the Han official in front of them.
The little official first drew a cross on his chest.
Then, in Portuguese, he said: "I am also from the church, because it is inconvenient for other churches to transmit this news, so they specially ordered me to come, and the matter is too urgent, so this message must be delivered in person." ”
As a result, these envoys in Beijing no longer had any doubts.
The man at the head was named Frans, a big Portuguese businessman, and he smiled and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"The latest news, transmitted from Malacca, is a Dutch businessman, the news should be credible, in the Netherlands, the East India Company has released their financial report, the profit of the financial report, up forty percent, the Dutch side...... Stocks have gone crazy...... Just three months ago, the share price had skyrocketed to nine guilders...... And...... ...... can be guaranteed In the future, the stock price may increase. Your Excellency, you haven't sold the stock you brought to the Earl called the Oriental Fool Donkey, have you? ”
Frans heard this...... The smile on his face has long been swept away.
He opened his mouth wide and then muttered, "Lord......"
