Chapter 9 He Xi's intentions

He Xi's intentions are very complicated.

On the one hand, I want everyone to speak. On the other hand, I want everyone to speak according to his mind.

But the most difficult thing in the world to control is the human heart.

So, there is such a contradictory move.

It can be seen that this conference will be a very wonderful conference, and it will also be a vicious battle.

For this conference, He Xi actually did not have many restrictions on the number of places.

The number of people is not too many. Probably a few hundred people.

The more people there are, the harder the situation becomes to control. Moreover, it is impossible to find a place for a meeting of thousands of people.

Among these hundreds of people, there are more than 100 people, all of whom are high-ranking officials and eunuchs. Such as vassal kings, nobles and so on. The most of them are actually the newly crowned nobles, and after a big war, more than 100 people above the earl were titled.

There are not only big guys like Ye Shen here, but also some officers who have worked so hard to count that their future prospects are probably like this. In such a meeting, one can only be regarded as an idler.

And this group of people are almost all supporters of He Xi, not supporters of He Xi, but also supporters of Emperor Longwu. It's also better to be in control of the situation.

Even He Xi also prepared, and the first item at the beginning of the conference was to reward the meritorious heroes to enrich the list of this conference.

There are naturally powerful people elected on the ground, and He Xi also knows that these people are very likely to be from scholars. There are even some Yungui toasts. These people, He Xi is very difficult to control.

But the problem is that the existence of these people is also very realistic.

I won't suppress them because of He Xi, and if I don't let them raise their voices at the conference, these people will no longer exist.

If it's not Ding Xian's ruthless methods. The Southern Scholar Group will not be so moribund. I couldn't even get a few places. But He Xi also has to admit one thing, that is, even so, there are still a lot of remnants of Corporal Tomorrow's influence in the local area.

Most of these would oppose the New Deal of the Imperial Court.

But He Xi dared to let him in, and he had made sufficient preparations.

That is, the old team of the imperial court from Beijing.

The new dynasty is a set of nobles. Holders of government bonds are also a bunch.

This was specially approved by He Xi. If you hold a certain amount of Beijing treasury bonds, you will be able to participate in this conference. There were many people in the court who opposed this matter, but it was refuted by He Xi in the name of not being ungrateful.

After all, Beijing does not have that huge national debt. It's hard to get through the hardest days. And even now, the number of national debts of the Ming Dynasty has exceeded 2 billion, which is also an important topic of this meeting.

It is not appropriate not to ask these people to say anything.

Moreover, this is also a measure to improve the status of businessmen.

Even, in the foreseeable future, there will be a considerable division among the businessmen in Beijing. Especially the white gloves supported by the nobles.

Without him, the war between the North and the South is over. Many of the old Wang Xie Tang Qianyan could only fly into the homes of ordinary people.

In this case, they still want to control the previous merchants, but they can't.

First of all, He Xi had already enacted a law abolishing slaves. Although it is said that most of the people who preside over the merchants for these nobles today are the former servants of these nobles, and even today, they still call themselves the servants of the master's family.

But legally, they are already people. It's the same people as these people.

Moreover, He Xi legally determined the company's right to operate. In other words, even if the nobles behind the scenes are major shareholders, there is a difference between them and the management rights.

At first, many people only saw it. The corporate legal person system allows the company to bear legal responsibility, which seems to be traceable to the nobles behind the scenes. This made the nobles very satisfied, but now they found that yes, there was a layer of separation between the company and the holding family behind it. But the control is already quite weak.

Before that, these nobles controlled the people below. The people below are slaves, killed

No one needs a reason. This is no longer the case.

The bond between the two sides is already very small.

Not to mention, the years-long war between the North and the South made it difficult for the two sides to communicate with each other. Can only be controlled remotely.

That's the problem.

It is not denied that there are some loyal servants. They are loyal to the family behind them, and they do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives and everything. But isn't there anyone who embezzles? Looking at the unimaginable wealth in his hands, and between the two sides, there is already a very weak constraint. Also, the political status of the old club has declined, and it cannot provide shelter for itself, and even implicates itself. I have been operating in Beijing for many years, and I have already established a fairly large network.

This contrast between strength and weakness transforms. Doesn't it make people think of something new, for example, to set up their own portal, such as getting this money into their hands...

Wait a minute.

Not everyone is morally high.

Now, this time, Dingguo is the participants of the meeting, and He Xi is not prepared to set the name of a parliamentarian. Instead, I feel like I have to go with the flow. When there is a demand, it is natural that someone will ask for it. But in any case, being able to appear on this occasion as a businessman is a leap forward for their status. Even some of the heroes of Hongwu's founding did not have this treatment.

On the one hand, there are quite a few heroes who have contributed to the founding of Hongwu. But some of these parents are gone. The juniors are not successful, and in the battle between the north and the south, they did not participate at all, and they have become rich and idlers. It's just that it's more marginalized now.

On the other hand, it was to buy strength in the war between the North and the South and escape from the reckoning.

But that's just an escape from reckoning.

Some political treatment will also be reduced.

In this regard, if the traditional moral concept is used, He Xi is doing bad things and luring these servants to betray the master's house. But in He Xi's view, he did a very important thing, and that was to try to destroy bureaucratic capital.

In He Xi's view, bureaucratic capital is the most difficult to accept. Because the bureaucracy itself is agricultural, seeking stability and stability. In his opinion, in the end, the world will never change. Bureaucratic capital, on the other hand, also has this characteristic, and it is simply trying to find ways to suck blood out of business behavior. Won't do anything meaningful. Instead, he uses the power in his hands to maintain excess profits. Typically, they are reluctant to develop their productive forces. They are also reluctant to let others develop their productive forces.

This has always been He Xi's heart disease.

However, when it came to this, he thought about it more.

It is necessary to look at this issue dialectically.

It's like doing business in the United States, and after you get bigger, you must go public. And in China, no, in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming power structure is like this. Money is important, but the most important thing is always power.

Therefore, when money develops to a certain extent, it must be politically linked, otherwise it will either be beaten back to the prototype, or, stop there.

This is a very real problem, and it is impossible for He Xi to completely solve it.

But what he wants is the cooperation between capital and power, not the power that feeds capital. The former is a two-sided game. The so-called political economy is the essence of society, the constant interaction and reaction between the economic base and the superstructure.

And the latter is bureaucratic capital.

Therefore, what He Xi has to do is to show the people of the world one thing, that is, capital can eat power.

There is a precedent for many people to refer to when doing things. Of course, it may lead to many other situations, for example, many families are so concerned about business management that they simply send their own family side branches or descendants to run the industry. For example, using extraordinary means to control the people who preside over the business, and so on.

However, He Xi believes that in this case, more people will fight back.

Even what can be predicted, perhaps in the near future. The struggle between the bureaucracy and capital became the main theme of the political struggle in the Ming Dynasty.

He Xi didn't know if it was good or not.

After all, capital and bureaucracy, two things, are not good things. But to put it another way, it is the so-called public power and personal power. But the first thing He Xi has to do now is not, he cares about it

Come, but focus on the present.

The first thing he had to determine was that the feudal ideological system and economic foundation with Confucian scholars and doctors as the core had completely collapsed, and he could not restore it.
