Chapter 3: Xie Lun's thoughts

Liaodong Hall.

Xie Lun leaned silently on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes and pondered.

There are a lot of people here who are arguing about this matter. Naturally, it was a matter of the imperial court setting up a parliament.

Now the people here are all tycoons, and the family industry, or the industry they are in charge of, is quite huge.

A few years ago, his family fortune exceeded one million, and he was a tycoon. But before the war between the North and the South, there had been more than 10 million family assets for several years. But now, after more than a year of conquest, the massive demand for war has made many companies have assets of more than 10 million.

It's just that even so, 100,000 yuan per councilor, this quota is nothing at all for some people. But for some, it hurts.

It depends on how to look at 100,000 yuan.

If the 100,000 yuan is regarded as a loan, it is nothing. But if you don't look at it as borrowing, apportionment, or even additional taxes, many companies may not be able to survive. Even for those companies with an industry of more than 10 million, 100,000 yuan is a large amount.

From the market, the withdrawal of tens of millions of yuan of liquidity at once will also have a great impact.

Of course, He Xi has his own ideas on the national debt. After he got the money, he would definitely spend it, and he didn't need to think about it. Even between loans, he will print some more and put them out.

It's just an endorsement of the credibility of these people.

Xie Lun didn't think about it in his heart, but thought about something else.

A few days ago, he had sex to meet His Majesty.

Zhu Xiongying asked him to become the speaker at all costs. That is, to be the one who buys the most government bonds of all. At least $1,000,000,000.

This incident made Xie Lun's heart both heartbroken and embarrassed.

Xie Lun has developed very well over the years, and Xie Jia has now become one of the largest businesses in Beijing. He has just started his business in building materials. But after a long time, Xie Lun found that the production capacity of this industry is limited, although he has never heard of Beijing's large-scale construction, bricks, cement and other materials are very profitable. But there is a limit to making money.

Xie Lun finally decided to devote himself to the textile industry.

Because in the textile industry, he sees a lot of prospects.

And although Xie Lun is from Jiangxi, he is the core figure of the Liaodong merchant gang. This is also normal, there were only a few people in Liaodong at the beginning. Most of the people in Liaodong migrated over. Therefore, the Liaodong merchant gang is not strict about the place of origin, as long as it rises from Liaodong.

Xie Lun rose from Liaodong.

He even imitated the operation of the Yingkou Textile Factory, combining the old-fashioned steam engine in his hand with textile machinery, and replacing manual labor with machines to spin. At first, it was textile linen, and later entered the field of cotton cloth, and now Xie Lun has privately organized a scientific research team to tackle key problems in wool weaving.

I have to say that Xie Lun is from Liaodong in the end, and he is He Xi's apprentice and grandson.

This series of reforms allowed Xie Lun to expand rapidly, and even swallowed the Yingkou Textile Factory. Become one of Beijing's textile tycoons. Of course, one of the smart people in the world is not Xie Lun. After Xie Lun made a lot of money on this, many people immediately followed suit. It's just that, in general, other textile tycoons are limited in size.

And it's nothing else that limits their size.

It's the scale of the raw materials.

Because of the food crisis in Beijing.

He Xi not only used food stamps to give the price of grain to death, but also gave the land use to death, which can only be used to grow grain.

Moreover, Beijing's demand for cloth has surged. The reason is also very simple, on the one hand, there is an increase in industrial workers, who were previously self-sufficient as men and weavers. There is no need to buy textiles. But now there are more workers in the city, and these people can only buy clothes.

The second, and most important, is the military uniform.

The demand for military uniforms is also endless. After all, millions of armies have to be redressed. Even if it's a ragtag army, the people are strong or something. It's not much for a military uniform. Don't underestimate this outfit

, in the later generations, no one will look at it, but in this era, this dress is a valuable thing, and many people can't live anymore, so they go to use it as clothes, and there are really people who accept it. In many places, there are some second-hand clothes stores, that is, people who have died, or who are not worn, take out and sell old clothes.

It can also be sold.

Under the stimulation of these two parties, the textile industry has developed vigorously. Not to mention the workers, just the army, the procurement of military uniforms is said to be a million taels. Not an exaggeration at all.

When wealth reaches a certain level, wealth is not a human pursuit.

Especially Xie Lun.

It is false to say that Xie Lun is not greedy for money. But now for Xie Lun, what is the difference between 100,000 taels and 1 million taels? It's just a number. Even when the money is only a hundred thousand taels, all the money is Xie Lun's, but now the Xie family's industry is so big, but the Xie family's industry is not all his.

His younger brother is a university scholar, and when necessary, the family's property can be at his disposal, after all, Xie Lun also knows that without Xie Jin, he would not have developed so fast. Moreover, he also hooked up with the emperor through Xie Jin.

What will the emperor need in the future? He had to say yes, too.

It's like Qianlong to Yangzhou salt merchants. How much money do you want, how much money do you have to offer?

In this case, Xie Lun actually doesn't like it.

But what if you don't like it?

He has no political status, and this situation will happen again and again until he is eaten and wiped out.

Because such things have happened countless times in history.

Now this parliament makes him feel a little hope. What he values most is actually one point, the parliament has the power of impeachment, and if it is used well, this is a metropolitan procuratorate. Others may not know, but Xie Lun has been mixed in officialdom, and he was once He Xi's subordinate, and many things are much more clear than the people in front of him.

And the position of Speaker doesn't seem to be of much use.

It's nothing more than a candidate who summons *** meetings, sorts out issues, and maintains order, and does miscellaneous. There is no governing power over any member of parliament. But this model, Xie Jin is familiar, because the Ming Metropolitan Procuratorate is this model, and the Zuodu Imperial History has administrative jurisdiction over the following officials, both superior and subordinate. But in fact, what the official wants to do in business, Zuo Du Yushi can't control it, and he can't stop it.

But can it be said that Zuodu Yushi has no power?

Some power is written on paper, and some power is not written on paper. The power written on paper seems to be insurance, but in fact, for some people, it is given to you, and you are not useful. For power that is not written on paper, it seems ethereal. But for some, it's handy.

A million taels sell a political status, a million taels sell a court ***, and don't delay yourself to make money, for Xie Lun, this couldn't be better.

"Gong Xie, today's matter, please also ask Gong Xie to show us a clear way." The people below said in unison.

Xie Lun opened his eyes, there was a trace of contempt in his eyes, but then he retracted and said with a smile, "Since everyone asked me to say it, I will talk about it. Just listen to what one family says. Everyone thinks that my industry makes money, but many industries rely on the imperial court for food. Not to mention the matter of taxation, people are stricter and wider, we have at least a thousand taels of entry and exit here, and the railway port, a little move, before and after the indispensable dots. Even, the list of the imperial court, to whom and not to whom? can decide the life and death of a family."

Xie Lun paused slightly when he said this, looked at the people below, and said, "I haven't said how the bank is."

At the mention of the bank, the people below suddenly sighed and didn't say much.

Banks have too much influence on business, and a little bit of getting stuck in various places will make many people unbearable. And they sighed and felt the inconvenience of the bank, after all, the bank is a yamen. All kinds of work processes and yamen style make it strange that these businessmen can be comfortable.

Every day when I go to the bank, I beg my grandfather to tell my grandmother. Even with the emergence of various guild halls, everyone borrowed internally, owed favors, and was reluctant to go to the bank. After all, the door of the bank is a little difficult to get into.
