Chapter 49: The Rise and Fall of Zhang Youzhi

When the Marquis Wu family of Jiangyin defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, he took people with him. As for how much, it's been a long time and it's not clear anymore. However, this also made the Wu family go farther away from Li Shanchang and others.

Because Li Shanchang is Zhu Yuanzhang's descendant, and those who are in the group with Li Shanchang are also Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants. Zhu Yuanzhang also used to contact the following generals through Li Shanchang's line. This is also the reason why Li Shanchang will not be able to lose his tail.

If Li Shanchang and Zhu Yuanzhang had not had a period of intimacy and intimacy, Li Shanchang's power would not have developed so much.

And the Wu family, the Marquis of Jiangyin, defected with people and horses, and it was not as good as the Feng family, Feng Sheng's brother Feng Guoyong, directly handed over the Feng family and horses to Zhu Yuanzhang as the commander of the pro-army, so that he could be promoted later, but the Wu family did not do this. Therefore, although the Wu family's merits are good, they are not the core of Huaixi Group.

This is also why, in history, Feng Sheng was forced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang. However, Wu Gao was in Jingjing, as the general of the southern army guarding Liaodong, if it wasn't for Zhu Di's counter-tactics to let Nanjing withdraw Wu Gao, Zhu Di would not have been so easy to clear the enemy behind him.

Generally speaking, Wu Gao did not have a close relationship with the people in power in the south, the Korean Gongyi and the Yingguo Gongyi. Of course, it's just not very close, but it's not a mortal enemy.

Naturally, it can't compare to the bloody grievances between Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang.

Zhu Xiongying naturally believes in Liu Jing more.

Zhu Xiongying said, "Okay. That's it."

As for the fourth candidate, Zhu Xiongying doesn't think about it anymore. It is necessary to leave room for He Xi.

------

He Xi didn't know that he left room for Zhu Xiongying, and Zhu Xiongying also left room for him.

He has a lot to do at the moment.

For example, immediately patrol the north to consolidate the southern part of the desert. Otherwise, after a long time, I am afraid that there will be variables. He wasn't prepared to stay in Beijing for long, and was ready to leave almost immediately. Before that, though, there is one thing that must be done.

It's to meet these big businessmen.

Under He Xi's orders. Yang Zhen naturally conveyed it in place. None of the directors of the trading companies in Kyoshi could refuse the direct summons of Ho Xi.

Beijing Guozijian Yilun Hall.

Beijing Guozijian and Nanjing Guozijian are almost duplicates, of course, there are some changes according to local conditions, but the names of each place have not changed. Naturally, Yilun Hall is still the largest classroom in the country.

As soon as He Xi came, he sat on the top, looking at the dense crowd of people below, almost filling Yilun Hall.

It's just that He Xi saw these people and sighed in his heart.

It's a big difference.

Prior to this, the people in charge of Beijing's wealth were all relatives of the families of the nobles, or relatives, and servants of the family. Because only in this way can these people be trusted. This is no longer the case. He Xi saw a lot of faces, and even several of them were students from Yingkou University.

Without him, although He Xi did not set up a business department at Yingkou University, but in terms of business, people from Yingkou University, who are proficient in mathematics and have a close relationship with the Beijing government, are more suitable than some domestic servants and Confucian students.

However, before that, these people were more stewards below, and the real ones were always the ones behind them. And now none of the people in charge have come.

Instead, it gave them a chance.

He Xi didn't talk nonsense, and said to Yang Zhen, "It's all here."

Yang Zhen said, "It's all here."

He Xi coughed twice and said, "Then it begins."

With the arrival of He Xi, Yilun Hall, which was already silent, became more solemn.

He Xi said indifferently, "I know that everyone is worried, and today's big change, how will the imperial court deal with you? How to deal with those behind you. There are even lessons from the past of the Puzhou Society."

When He Xi said this, he looked at the corner, and Zhang Youzhi, who was hiding in the corner, was extremely pale. Trembling all over, it barely looked like a living person.

However, He Xi didn't set his eyes on him and said, "I'm here

Several principles are announced. First of all, each company is a separate entity. The major shareholder behind him, or the owner behind him, has nothing to do with the company. Of course, the company is the property of the proprietor, and if the court punishes the proprietor for confiscating the property. You just have to cooperate. However, the company is the property of the proprietor, and you are not the property of the proprietor. Moreover, the imperial court generally has the following principles for disposing of such property. Stability, because every company, there are many people below, and if a company goes bankrupt, there will be many people who have no food and clothing, which is not what the imperial court wants to see. And value preservation, after all, the imperial court is only for copying property, and it is for property. I won't devalue it myself. Generally speaking, there may be two choices, one is that the court operates itself, and your owner is the imperial court, or is it to sell it? You're all familiar with it. Zhang Youzhi."

"The grass people are here." Zhang Youzhi immediately stood up, his eyes bursting with excitement.

He Xi said, "Yang Zhen is in charge of the industrial and commercial affairs of the imperial court, and your owner is him. Of course, this is temporary, what will happen in the future? We'll talk about it then."

Zhang Youzhi immediately wept bitterly and said, "The grass people thanked Master Pony. Thank you, Master Ma."

This period of time, for Zhang Youzhi, it is really a big ups and downs.

Zhang Youzhi is a talent, after he took refuge in Shen Guogong, Puzhou Society has made great achievements, and has successively completed the Beijing City Project, Tianjin River Project, Lugou River Project, North Canal River Project, and many other large projects, in addition to construction, there are other side businesses, such as the transportation industry on the canal, wharves and other industries.

In short, in the hands of Zhang Youzhi, Puzhou Society has formed a huge industry.

And in the whole process, it is impossible to say that Zhang Youzhi did not use Shen Guogong's background. But to say that Zhang Youzhi took advantage of it, that is really nothing. At least in the business world, Zhang Youzhi's reputation is not bad.

And Shen Guogong is also a person who cherishes feathers.

I don't want to make things too bad.

It's just that after Shen Guogong launched a mutiny, Zhang Youzhi's situation plummeted. Zhang Youzhi has already thought very seriously about how he should die? How to die so as not to implicate your family. No family involvement. If he hadn't been worried that he would commit suicide, he would have regarded it as contempt for the court and angered the Zhang family, and he would have wiped his neck a long time ago.

Now that He Xi Chrysostom said it, his identity immediately changed greatly, and the backer behind him also changed from Shen Guogong to the imperial court, which is also a great benefit to Zhang Youzhi.

Zhang Youzhi gritted his teeth secretly in his heart and said secretly, "No matter. This time I must find a way to stay in the imperial court. I can't let it be sold."

Puzhou Society is Zhang Youzhi's lifelong effort, and even when he dreamed back at midnight, Zhang Youzhi secretly thought that he estimated that in this life, it would be impossible to surpass the achievements of Puzhou Society. Even turn back the clock, let him do it again, can he establish the same merits as Puzhou Society.

Zhang Youzhi is also not confident.

Some opportunities are not replicable.

Therefore, Zhang Youzhi never thought of giving up Puzhou Society in his life.

And such a big industry as Puzhou Society must have a strong backstage, otherwise it will not be able to operate at all. During the period of Shen Guogong's fall, Zhang Youzhi had already felt the malice of the whole world. If it weren't for Zhang Youzhi's skills, plus a lot of things that hadn't been decided.

Zhang Youzhi has long been eaten and wiped clean.

He Xi said, "Remember what I said, even if the people behind you have committed a big thing, as long as you don't help do it. It's innocence. And the imperial court is rebellious, and the old lords are treated preferentially, and you can operate as before. Remember what is written in the Great Ming Law."

The most obvious feature of the Da Ming Law formulated by He Xi is the abolition of slavery and slavery. Although the relationship between people is not completely equal, there is no personal dependence, and if the main family commits a crime before, the following people will be imprisoned.

But now, it's a different story.

This is a great shock to these people in front of them.

Without him, He Xi formulated the Da Ming Law, which was a dead letter in many places, and Zhang Du was the secretary of the Criminal Department, committed to the implementation of the Da Ming Law, and the end was suicide in prison. Because Zhang Du knows that if he doesn't commit suicide, he can't end well, and suicide may be the only dignity he has left.

And most of these people in front of him are eating with the nobles behind them. Externally, it is a certain father, a certain marquis, and a certain uncle.
