Chapter 5: One Stone Strikes a Thousand Waves

What is the Imperial Court?

It is the parent official, the Shangguan, and the Son of Heaven. It's the being who takes what they want. They can find ways to get certain officials to give them benefits. But at any time you have to worry about being eaten by the officials. Now he does business with the imperial court. It's a crazy idea.

Ordinary people know that Qi Dafei is not a coincidence. How could these people not know?

Negotiate business with the imperial court? The idea is crazy. How could they do it.

But the hidden interests here make many people's hearts beat faster.

Although many people say that money can make ghosts grind, in fact, at least here in the Ming Dynasty, this is not the case. It is the power itself, not the money, that is truly supreme.

Most of these people are actually agents of the hidden bureaucracy. Only a small number of people are truly self-made.

Although He Xi came to Daming, he brought a great world to this era and made many people rich. But those who can seize the opportunity, jump up, and become a trendsetter on the cusp are not ordinary people.

These people all have the basic qualities of capitalists, and they will stop at nothing in order to make money.

Moreover, many people have tasted it.

Xie Lun has a special identity among these businessmen, and it is not that Xie Lun's business is very big, when it comes to big business, many people dare not say that it is more than Xie Lun, at least not inferior to Xie Lun.

The reason why Xie Lun has his current identity and status is that he is the leader of the Liaodong merchant gang. And everyone knows the Liaodong Merchant Gang, behind which is He Xi. The leaders of the Liaodong Merchant Gang are all He Xi's disciples and grandchildren.

Many of them were people used by He Xi when he ran a factory in Liaodong, or graduates of several schools in Liaodong, and they were all He Xi's apprentices. Xie Lun is He Xi's old department.

Similarly, Xie Lun's younger brother Xie Jinnai is a popular person around the emperor.

In other words, Xie Lun's opinion can represent the opinions of both He Xi and the emperor.

This is why Xie Lun is so valued.

In other words, Xie Lun's speech can be regarded as an official style.

It's just that these thoughts are too groundbreaking. It makes a lot of people can't believe it. For a while, I didn't dare to say a word more. However, this time, the number of members of the parliament has been decided.

Liaodong, Beijing, Hebei, Mobei, Goryeo, Japan, overseas, a total of more than 300 people. These people alone raised a total of more than 30 million yuan in treasury bonds.

After all, for many people, 100,000 yuan may be stressful. But there are still gritted teeth. They are still on the sidelines about the parliamentary model. But I also know, but I am more worried that if I don't bleed at the moment, I will be treated differently by the imperial court in the future.

Although it is said that now the big businessmen have a backstage. All have backgrounds. Generally speaking, in terms of commercial competition, the imperial court is also very inclined in many things. After all, you can't call parents everything. And if you have parents, the other party may not have one.

It's like giving a gift to a leader, whoever gives it may not have an impression, but whoever doesn't give it, the leader will definitely remember it.

It's just that the influence of Xie Lun's briefing is also quite large.

-----

After Mr. Bai of the Southwest Association returned.

Immediately a lot of people came to visit, and these people were very low-key. But the people behind him are not low-key, such as the Li family of Cao Guogong, the Guo family of Wuding Marquis, and the Feng family of Song Guogong, and even the Lu family of the Empress Dowager and so on.

Except for Fu Youde's Fu family, all the other families have business here.

In fact, the Fu family is not without business, you must know that the relationship between Fu Youde and He Xi was also good before. It's just that after Fu Youde decided to stand in line, he had already taken down all the business in Beijing.

Mr. Bai heard that so many people came to visit him. He said, "Open a hall in the backyard and let them all come."

The Mu family, as the leader of these people's alliance, is actually because the Mu family is far away in the southwest, and there is not much stake between the two capitals in the north and south. It's not about how big your business is. If others give face, he will also give face to others.

So, one by one, these people sat down.

The words before Xie Lun began to be discussed.

Say anything.

Mr. Bai pondered for a while, and he coughed two or three times, suppressing all the voices of discussion. He said, "Guys, I actually have a thought, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

One of them said, "Mr. Bai, we are here to see you first. What should be said or not?"

Mr. Bai said, "Do you think that the words of the Beijing Imperial Court are really to us?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt that there was a lot of meaning, and someone had already thought of something. But some people still have some confusion in their eyes.

Since Mr. Bai opened his mouth, he was ready to speak thoroughly. He said, "You think. Who are the people in this council? Do you really know that the Beijing Imperial Court looks down and takes a look?"

At this point, everyone who should understand understands. Those who should not understand will never understand.

As the general of the Mu family, although Mr. Bai presides over the Mu family's business in the north, in essence, he does not care much about business matters, and there is naturally a special manager to take care of business matters.

He himself is a member of the upper echelon of the Ming Dynasty, and his experience and insight cannot be understood at all, and the changes that have taken place in Beijing today. The foundation of the world has shifted from agriculture to industry.

Before that, in essence, whoever has more people and more food will win. And now, it is who has the most industrial capacity and who can win.

Beijing is making a difficult turn, and after this shift, 78 percent or more of Beijing's tax revenue will come from the industrial side, and the land tax will not decrease, but the overall tax ratio will drop sharply.

He could only think about the current problem with his original thinking, and he came to such a conclusion.

Is it worth courting a businessman?

Nature is not worth it.

Even the so-called big businessmen in troubled times are actually just a vine, difficult to stand on their own, and can only develop by relying on power.

So who is it worth wooing? Naturally, it is the Daming Lord, and these people are the representatives of the Daming Lord, which is obviously Beijing trying to find a way to carry out a new round of differentiation and wooing with the Daming Lord, as well as temptation.

As a result, everyone fell into deep thought.

If that's the case, these things are no longer in their hands.

I could only go back to Nanjing and get instructions from the master's family.

And even after these people, there are differences in opinions.

The attitude of the Mu family has a feeling of being a cold bystander, whoever wins the battle will surrender to whom. In the future, there will be no loss of wealth. Historically, the founding princes of the country have survived the Jing disaster most safely for the Mu family, although it has been passed down by the Xu family, but the Xu family's lineage has been in a big turmoil, and it is really difficult to say that it is unscathed.

Therefore, Mr. Bai can point it out politely.

But the others are different.

The Li family of Cao Guogong and the Guo family of Wuding Marquis have been waiting for more than ten years, and they are not very in power. It is almost a free-spirited faction, although it does not dare to stand by coldly, but it may not be without the intention of increasing its value in Nanjing through Beijing's wooing.

After all, something will only be worth if someone raises its price.

There are some people who are just here to make money. Even in his position, there is no wavering. For example, the Queen Mother Lu family. The Lu family came to Beijing to make money, and whether the Queen Mother knew it or not, it was the same thing. It is even more unlikely that there will be wavering.

Specifically, each family, and even each family, each person's thoughts are different.

So everyone looked at each other awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything more. I don't dare to make any statement behind the back of the master's family.

So this little meeting ended like this. However, there is one thing to note, although it is not said, almost everyone has bought 100,000 yuan of treasury bonds.

After all, now Beijing has won a big victory.

It's just that I didn't peek into Beijing so attentively. Since they thought of it, they were worried that Beijing would turn its back on them. After all, there is no problem at all in dealing with them in the name of rebellion, Beijing calls Nanjing the southern rebellion, and Nanjing calls Beijing the northern thief.

There is no need to say much about disposing of them. But

They all want to continue doing business in Beijing. After all. Now that the market in Beijing is improving, He Xi tried every means to open up the markets of all parties and transform the rural areas of Hebei. Plus the attrition of fighting a war.

This big business is enough to boost Beijing's economy.

They don't know anything else, but doing business in Beijing is really profitable.
