Chapter 288: Involve the People
"Father, although the initial investment in building the railway is very large, it is a huge profit, as long as the railway is built well and carefully maintained, it can be used for generations!"
"But the imperial court is only a little more generous now, and it doesn't have so much spare money to build a railway!"
Even if Xiao Zhengtai put the benefits of the railway in front of Yingzheng, he still spread his hands and was very difficult.
If he had money, he would definitely start repairing with a wave of his hand.
But at the moment, there is no money!
Even if he saved the money he earned from the winery, it would take at least two years to build one.
At this rate, when will the whole Great Qin be completed?
"Didn't my father forget that he could buy shares?"
Xiao Zhengtai raised his eyebrows at Yingzheng.
"Yes, Your Majesty, although we don't have so much money, we can add up a lot!"
"We can't cultivate all of Daqin for the time being, but we can repair them one by one!"
"That's right, didn't the little boy say that as long as the railway is built, it can be used all the time, that is to say, there will always be income, and you can use the income of the railway built first to build the next one!"
……
In order to be able to buy shares, several ministers opened their mouths to persuade them, for fear that Yingzheng would change his mind.
"It's okay to buy shares, but I don't know if I can make up so much money!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Ying Zheng thought for a while and said suspiciously.
"Father, don't underestimate the power of the ministers, have you forgotten how much gold and silver Li Si copied out when he raided his house? A total of 130,000 gold ......! ”
Xiao Zhengtai smiled and continued: "Even if the other ministers are honest and honest, or don't want to join the shares, we can still find the people to join the shares!" ”
"Let the people take shares?"
There has never been a precedent for this.
"That's right, many of the people are the property of the family, the rich flow of oil, the kind of copper money that rusts at home, and the railway is a business that can be passed down from generation to generation, as long as the court agrees to let the people become shares, they won't break their heads and rush in?"
Xiao Zhengtai said jokingly.
"Yes...... In this way, those rich people have become shareholders of the railway, will they unite to make trouble? ”
Meng Yi asked with a slight concern.
"Humph! The people are making trouble? Isn't that tantamount to rebellion? ”
Wang Ben snorted coldly and clenched his fists.
If the people want to make trouble, they must first ask them if these generals agree!
"My father-in-law is right, even if the people have money, they can't account for the majority of the shares, and besides, the people are not aligned, how can they make trouble? Even if they become shareholders, they have no controlling stake, and everything is still in the hands of the imperial court! ”
Xiao Zhengtai said with a smile.
How can the people have a say in the shares, that is, waiting for dividends according to the shares?
How the railway is operated and how it is operated, the people have no right to ask!
"If the people are allowed to participate, how should the shares be divided?"
Zhang Han asked.
"It depends on where the emperor wants to build the railway first? How much does it look like and how much does it cost? ”
"Uh...... I haven't figured this out yet! ”
Before, it was just Ying Feiyu who mentioned it in the court, and after the next court, Ying Zheng has been imagining the days of traveling thousands of miles in the future.
But he wanted to see the whole of Daqin full of railways, not a single one.
If he was asked to choose a route first, he really didn't know where to go!
"It's okay, anyway, the train hasn't been built yet, so my father can think about it slowly!"
Xiao Zhengtai smiled and continued to grab the lamb chops and nibble on them.
"In this case, I'm afraid we will have to wait a long time before we can buy shares!"
Kang Anping shook his head in disappointment.
After tasting the sweetness of investing in the winery, he no longer expected the court to live a little money, and waited for when there would be another opportunity to buy shares.
However, Zhang Han's old guy ate alone, and he didn't tell them when he had the opportunity, so he missed this good opportunity!
So when I heard about the railway IPO, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I was ready to take out all the idle money at home and buy shares!
It turned out to be put on hold for the time being!
"If a few people want to buy shares, this son has another idea!"
Xiao Zhengtai chewed the mutton in his mouth and said vaguely.
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone immediately became interested.
"Money Bank!"
Xiao Zhengtai tried to swallow the chewed meat in his mouth and spit out two words.
Copper coins are inconvenient to carry, a few words are fine, if it is more than 100 words, it is very inconvenient to carry!
From the rise of the winery, to the later newspapers, cement factories, and steel mills, he made more and more money, and it was packed into warehouses and placed in boxes, and now it is almost impossible to put it down.
In fact, I have always wanted to issue banknotes, but I always have other things at hand, and I don't have time to study them in detail, so I put them on hold!
Today, several important ministers are here, and one by one they are all eager to buy shares, so they simply take this opportunity to let them take a stake in the bank!
He has also made a lot of money this year, and the start-up capital for the bank is also enough.
It's just that the interests involved in the future are too great, so in order to avoid people being jealous and making small moves behind their backs, the best way is to pull the scumbag father in together and pull a few more important ministers.
With their participation, even if others are jealous, they will not dare to make any moves!
"Money? What's new here? ”
Ying Zheng asked incomprehensibly.
"As the name suggests, it is a Zhuangzi who stores money!"
Xiao Zhengtai explained with a smile.
"The Zhuangzi who keeps the money? What's the use of that? Whose money is not kept in his own house, but sent outside, to someone else? ”
"Yes, if it were me, I wouldn't want to!"
"Yes, what you hold in your hand is called money, and if you put it in someone else, won't it become someone else's money?"
"Isn't taking someone else's money the same as robbing?"
……
Ying Zheng and several ministers pouted one after another, not optimistic about this matter.
"Then if the money is put in the bank, it can make money?"
Xiao Zhengtai held a lamb chop bone that had just been gnawed and shook it in his hand and asked.
"Making money? How to give birth? ”
"If you can really make money, then it's different, as long as it's reliable, you can consider it!"
Hearing this, Zhang Han and Wang Ben were a little moved.
Every month, the brewery will send dividends to the house and store them in the warehouse!
With their current expenses, they can't use it up at all, so they will stare at Xiao Zhengtai to invest, and want to make the best use of it, let the money be invested in exchange, and get more money!
Their generation is glorious, but it's hard to say what the future generations will be, so you must make long-term plans and leave them a little!
"The money that this son said refers to the interest rate, as long as the people are willing to deposit the money in the bank, they can give a certain interest, for example, if they save one hundred wen today, then take it out today next year, there will be one hundred and three wen, and so on!"
Xiao Zhengtai gave a simple example.
"I see!"
Several people in the box suddenly realized.
"Little boy, but in this way, isn't it a matter of losing money and making money?"
Zhang Han, as the head of the household, is in charge of money and food, and his head turns quickly, so he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Isn't it crazy that they took money into shares, opened a money bank, and let the people deposit their money in it, and then they had to pay interest to the people out of their own pockets?
It's better to just sprinkle the family's money on the street, whoever wants to pick it up, why bother?
