Chapter 1112
Everyone didn't speak, and the one who knew money the most was Ai Husheng. He has been the head of the household department of the Ming Dynasty for ten years.
He didn't understand, how could the rest of Qiu Bahe and those who were engaged in intelligence know how to make money, and if it was robbery, then they could still participate in the discussion.
Suddenly, Li Xiao noticed. Sun Yuanhua, who was there with the old god, sat on the chair and said nothing, his eyes always falling on the few pieces of paper in his hand.
"Shousuke-sama?" Li Xiao set his sights on Sun Yuanhua.
"Oh! The old man has an idea here, but he doesn't know if he is mature or not, and he is still thinking about it, thinking about it! β
This old bastard is like this, even if he has an idea, he doesn't say it clearly. You have to ask Li Xiao!
This is the old official oil, the oily old official oil.
"It's all this time, let's talk about it!" Li Xiao urged helplessly, this seemed to be a rehearsed formula.
Every time Sun Yuanhua has a new charter, it is like this.
"How about issuing war bonds?" Sun Yuanhua put the paper in his hand on the table and said.
"War bonds?" Everyone's eyes widened.
"To the war bond!" Sun Yuanhua nodded.
"First of all, war bonds can greatly ease our current fiscal situation. I won't say much about that!
Second, over the years, we have been lightly taxed, and the low tax is rare.
The people pay less taxes, which means that the people have more money in their hands.
When people have spare money in their hands, they will think about investing.
Now there is private investment and everything, and some people have even begun to hoard Juqi.
Last year, some people even amassed money. Hoarding garlic to make a profit, and the price of garlic is the same as that of lamb at the most expensive time.
made a lot of dumpling restaurants, and they all began to charge garlic money.
At the beginning of spring this year, there was a period of hoarding of green onions.
The price of green onions has risen wildly, and finally it has reached the point where whoever gets a plate of fried lamb with green onions is reluctant to put green onions. β
Sun Yuanhua is in charge of civil affairs, so he is naturally familiar with these civil affairs. Now that it's talking, everyone seems to be listening to a book.
The soldiers here eat in the canteen most of the time on weekdays.
The green beads are even more fingers that don't touch the spring water!
Li Hao has never entered the kitchen at all, let alone the vegetable market.
Li Xiao was busy raising armaments, and he always had to inspect the troops when he had nothing to do. I don't have time to look at these things!
It's mentioned in the newspapers from time to time!
Say that green onions are more expensive than mutton, and what kind of garlic you ruthless and other title parties.
When the big guy usually reads the newspaper, he reads it as a fresh, as if it has nothing to do with him.
Now that Sun Yuanhua said it, everyone naturally had a different feeling.
It turns out that this is all private travel capital, because there is nowhere to vent to do so many things.
"In the first two years, the price of live pigs remained high for more than a year, is it also these people who did it?"
Stilwell asked angrily.
The family of poetry and book heirlooms is not good at this point, and looks down on the traders. In Stilwell's view, these people who buy and sell hoarders should be pulled out and shot.
"Not really!
That year, there was swine fever all over the country, and the swine fever was so bad that naturally many pigs died.
According to the needs of epidemic prevention, it was the villages that hunted and killed pigs at that time. After digging a pit and burning it, quicklime is sprinkled on the landfill.
At that time, the implementation of epidemic prevention was so strict that pigs were almost extinct in many places. This is the root cause of the high price of pork!
However, this thing, as the swine fever dissipates, gradually recovers.
Since the second half of last year, hog prices have been declining. Now, it has come down to dangerous levels.
The imperial court is trying to figure out a way, and the low price of pigs will hurt the enthusiasm of pig farmers, which is not necessarily a good thing. β
"Now when we talk about war bonds, how can we talk about pigs.
Marshal, I think war bonds are very viable. After all, the people have money in their hands, and they don't have a safe investment direction.
A lot of people keep their money in the bank!
It seems that this kind of hype of materials has also happened repeatedly.
The lower officials felt that the income from the war bonds was stable and that they were issued by the imperial court. The credibility is absolutely guaranteed, and if it is released, it will definitely be snapped up. β
Ai Hu was happy, he didn't know the benefits of war bonds. But he didn't dare to say it!
After all, there is a lot of interest to be paid on war bonds.
If you are not able to make huge gains in the war, it is likely that you will lose money.
But now that Sun Yuanhua has taken the lead in speaking out, he has no taboos.
A vigorous advocacy, the many benefits of war bonds.
"War bonds are a good idea, since that's the case. Then, after the war, a Daming oil company was established.
Our Daming oil fields are all managed by Daming Petroleum Company.
Who owns today's oil field, even if it is a share, it is in the share capital.
In the future, we will only receive dividends and will not participate in management.
In addition to the dividends, the profits of the oil companies are repaid on war bonds and the interest accrued.
After the war bonds were repaid, the proceeds were placed at the disposal of the imperial court. β
Li Xiao glanced at the pieces of paper handed over by Sun Yuanhua, thought for a moment and announced.
The faces of the people sitting there, except for Stilwell, were a little unnatural.
They all have oil fields in the Middle East, including Li Xiao himself.
It can be said that now the Ming army is fighting for their interests.
Li Xiao glanced at everyone present and took everyone's expressions in his eyes.
He knew that this was a hornet's nest.
But the reality forced him to do this, he didn't want to pass on the cost of defending the Xungui oil field to the people.
The Ming Dynasty has maintained a low tax rate for many years, and Li Xiao does not want to raise taxes because of this war.
"That's it! In this way, the household department immediately prepared to start issuing bonds.
If the interest rate is set thickly, it will be like the regular interest rate of the bank, then it will not be interesting.
We want the people to really get the benefits of war bonds and make money. β
Li Xiao announced loudly that no matter what mood everyone was in, they could only bow their heads and make promises.
Oil is a monopoly business, and now all oil fields, including exploration, oil production, and refining technology, are all monopolized by the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to Daming's own use of refined oil, there is also a lot of demand from abroad.
However, now the refined oil market is chaotic, and sometimes in order to compete for customers, there is even a situation of price reduction.
This will disappear after the establishment of Daming Petroleum Company.
When the time comes, no matter which country the buyer is, he will be faced with a monopoly behemoth.
However, the general manager of Daming Petroleum Company has become a standard fat gap.
Everyone is wondering in their hearts how to get this oily position into their own hands.
As long as you get this position, the money will be just a number.
After the meeting ended, Li Hao was the first to come to Li Xiao's office.
"Big brother......!"
"Want the position of general manager of an oil company? What are you going to do? Li Xiao looked at Li Hao teasingly.
Give up the position of the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty and become the general manager of an oil company, as long as he is not crazy or has congenital dementia, he will not do this.
"I ...... How can I, I want to ......! "This guy rubs his hands and looks like he can't poop.
"You think, you think a fart.
What do you want Xiaoyu to do? Our aunt and grandmother, is that piece of material?
Li Lin went to the First Expeditionary Army, don't fight his idea.
Last time, I haven't settled accounts with you yet.
That's my son, I'm naturally going to be angry with him, it's not your turn to be an uncle.
Since I didn't say anything, it proves that Sun Zhijie did the right thing.
Mr. Sun has helped our family for ten years, and when we started our business, how many things were done by others, and how many ideas were made by others.
We can't let Mr. Sun's family end up!
You go to Sun's house immediately and bring a generous gift to visit Mr. Sun. Give Mr. Sun a gift! β
Li Hao glared helplessly, he didn't expect that before he could say this, he would end up on an errand to go to Sun's house to apologize.
But since the eldest brother said it, if you want to do this thing or not, you can only do it in the end.
After Li Hao left, the number of people who came to Li Xiao's office to ask for instructions gradually increased.
Even Zheng Sen took advantage of his special identity to take the route of his wife.
When Li Xiao returned to the back house, Tokugawa Chihime was admiring a plate of pearls that flowed brightly.
"Who came to you to hit the wooden bell again?" Li Xiao took the towel that Tokugawa Chihime had wrung with his own hands, and asked while wiping his face.
Zheng Sen was filial piety, saying that it was the Hepu pearl of the South China Sea. It is said that these eighteen are rare treasures in a hundred years. β
Tokugawa Chihime clearly loved this pearl necklace!
"Hepu pearls are nothing.
The dozen or so Dadong pearls sent by the Oroquntou people have not seen you so happy. Li Xiao finished wiping his face and handed the towel to Tokugawa Chihime.
Tokugawa Chihime picked up a copper basin from the maid's hand, took off Li Xiao's shoes and socks and began to wait for Li Xiao to soak his feet.
For more than ten years, Tokugawa Chihime has never pretended to be someone else.
"This is different, this is sent by Zheng Sen, a piece of the child's heart.
Ay......!
Zheng Sen brought a letter from Tagawa's sister, saying that Tagawa Nanazaemon had been imprisoned by the feudal lord.
He also said that the child of Nanazaemon was sick, and there was no good doctor in the prison, so I was afraid that time was running out. β
Tokugawa Chihime washed Li Xiao's feet while kneading Li Xiao.
Feeling the strength of Tokugawa Chihime's hand, Li Xiao closed his eyes.
"Don't worry about this, and don't write to your father to interfere.
Tagawa Nanazaemon is to blame for what he committed, and if he is a Ming man, Ling Chi's execution will be his only fate.
When he arrived in the Japanese country, he was only imprisoned, which was already considered an extrajudicial favor.
He will live in prison for the rest of his life. β
Li Xiao's words are equivalent to sentencing Tagawa Nanazaemon to life imprisonment.
Tokugawa Chihime's hand trembled, and she clearly felt the decisiveness in Li Xiao's tone.
"Zheng Sen came to hit the wooden clock with you, but it's not just this one thing." Li Xiao closed his eyes, as if talking to the air.
"I don't really understand what he said, but you want to hand over all Daming's oil fields in the Middle East to a company called Daming Petroleum Company to do ......!
He thought...... I want to go to Daming Petroleum Company to be a big manager. β
"That's called the general manager, and he's in charge!
This kid is actually a suitable candidate, but these people in the Zheng family ......, hey......!
There's no way to say, leave this matter to him. In the end, maybe even the child will be ruined.
This is the only good child of the Zheng family, and being able to escort Tagawa Nanazaemon back means that I haven't taught in vain all these years.
You tell him that you have done a good job in the Honglu Temple, and that there will be other things for him to do in the future.
Daming Petroleum Company's affairs, I have arranged!
In the future, no matter who hits your wooden clock, you are not allowed to respond to anyone, do you understand? β
"No!"
The Ming people have such a bad problem, and they take the lady route first when they encounter things.
Over the years, Tokugawa Chihime has not been able to resist corruption under their money offensive.
Several times, Tokugawa Chihime was pulled into the water and blew pillow wind next to Li Xiao's ear.
Li Xiao doesn't stop here, and Sun Yuanhua doesn't stop there.
After many people found out about this, they immediately began to go to Sun Yuanhua's camp, wanting to get this errand that can make fart oily pants.
The demand for oil will only increase in the future. It's something that anyone can see!
Daming Petroleum Company, as long as you get out of the oil, it is money.
This general manager, that's really a real sweetheart.
"Father, whose head do you say this errand will end up on?" Sun Xing diligently poured a glass of wine for his father and respectfully placed it in front of his father.
"Who's on the head? Are you thinking about it? Sun Yuanhua looked at his son.
They are all people who have become elites, and at a glance at Sun Xing's expression, you can know that this kid wants this position.
"My son has also worked in the Middle East for a few years, and he has some experience. Besides, I am familiar with the Middle East!
This position ......! β
"This position is not your share. There is a high probability that there will be no share of the Zheng family.
In the handsome family, no one can do such a big thing.
Ai Husheng's family, it's impossible.
Da Shuai would not stuff such a chicken that lays golden eggs into Ai Husheng's hands.
Sun Chengzong's family ......! β
"Do you think it will be left at Mr. Sun's house?
I heard that Jifu-sama went to visit Mr. Sun with gifts. I still ate at his house before leaving, do you think it will be ......! β
"There is a possibility, but I guess Sun Chengzong will not take it.
Now, he wished everyone had forgotten about him.
In the years he was in power, there were too many protΓ©gΓ©s.
Sun Chuanting didn't go to the Beijing Ministry of Officials, so he had to go to Yuquan Mountain to worship the old man.
High prestige is a good thing, but if the prestige is too high, that is the way to die.
Thinking back then, Zhu Hongwu killed the heroes, but he was not merciless.
How do you say that Li Shanchang's status is better than that of Sun Chengzong today? It's not like it's all over the place!
So!
The old guy retreated bravely and went to Yuquan Mountain to live a leisurely retirement life.
The Sun family will not mix with this muddy water. β
"That'...... Could it be that the marshal should be selected from among the court officials? Without the support of the family behind him, it may not be easy to sit in this position. β
"Huh! Your kid's trick is right, the newly built yamen. Dogs on the front fence, chickens on the backyard wall.
If you want to sit firmly in this position, you can't really do it without a little family background.
I guess ......! β
