The order of 200,000 divine crossbows is indeed a big business, no wonder Gu Shouzhen is so excited, why did the government place such a large order for the Gu family's refining workshop at one time? And in the name of the Ministry of War?

It turned out that this time it turned out to be Tong Guan's meaning, when the official army was fighting with the Mingjiao rebels in the dangerous path of Bangyuandong, the rebels defended according to the danger of the mountain, and inflicted heavy losses on the officers and soldiers from top to bottom, and at this time Yang Zhen's crossbowmen played a key role, and the accurate shooting of the black god crossbow made the rebels guarding the mountain dare not show their heads, and many narrow peak passes were captured by the officers and soldiers in this way.

After this battle, Tong Guan was rewarded for meritorious deeds, Yang Zhen received a great merit from this, and the crossbowmen under his jurisdiction also became a strange soldier, in terms of combat quality and combat courage, although it was a box army, but it was not much worse than the forbidden army. Tong Guan praised this a lot, and when he asked the reason, he knew that it was Xiao Ming's invention of the Black God Crossbow.

Tong Guan has his own masters around him, and he took a fancy to it at a glance, the Black God Crossbow plays a powerful role in the war, so there is an order for 200,000 Black God Crossbows, speaking of which Yang Zhen's strong recommendation is also indispensable.

With this large order from the Ministry of War, Xiao Ming was more confident, and he was full of confidence in becoming the owner of Richanglong, and then visited the entire decision-making level of Richanglong to discuss the "equity merger", but before that, Xiao Ming first went to visit Cai'er's father, the master craftsman of the Mo family, Su Yi Su Shouchen.

Old man Su has been sick recently, not because he is too old and not in good health, but because he is too desperate, from the beginning of the invention of the steam engine, to the application of the entire Richanglong loom, all of which have encroached on Su Yi's hard work and time, and the steam engine can be quickly applied in the linkage of the loom, Su Bi is really indispensable.

Xiao Ming also went to visit Shen Bei'er and brought her a gift, which was the official kiln porcelain vase that Xiao Ming entrusted Xue Bingchang to get, although Shen Bei'er was delighted, but after seeing Xiao Ming, she was depressed, Su Cai'er was not there some time ago, and Shen Bei'er handled the whole Richanglong's official affairs in Xiuzhou and Hangzhou, which really made her exhausted.

Xiao Ming hurriedly apologized, he and Shen Bei'er were indeed a little estranged a while ago, and even Fei Kite rarely mentioned her in the message, isn't that where he and Su Cai'er are cool in the capital, fortunately, Shen Bei'er has a cheerful personality, knowing that Xiao Ming is doing big things in Tokyo, although he is suspected of playing in the mountains and rivers with Cai'er, but how can she eat her cousin's vinegar, her biggest hope is to be able to play with Xiao Ming Cai'er and the three of them, like in the South Lake in Xiuzhou, carefree and enjoyable.

Xiao Ming felt guilty in his heart, he still couldn't let go of his feelings for the two girls, in fact, at that time, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but Xiao Ming was a modern person after all, and the one-to-one love model was still a bit deep-rooted, and it couldn't change for a while, in fact, he knew that Xiao Ming still felt that he didn't belong here in his heart, and he would always leave.

But no matter what, Su Cai'er and Shen Bei'er's children all gave the greatest support to Xiao Ming's entry into Richanglong, but things still didn't go well, Richanglong had a council of more than a dozen people, all of whom were old people when they started their business, including many veterans of the Mo family, and these people were the real decision-makers of Richanglong.

Coupled with the representatives of the shopkeepers of the branches across the country, this part of the people is very influential in Richanglong, which includes contacts at both the business level and the technical level, although Su Yi and Song Wu are among them, but they cannot influence the overall will.

Xiao Ming was not surprised by such a strange huge organization in the Song Dynasty, "Isn't this the board of directors!" "Accustomed to the operation mode of commercial companies that are very common in modern society, can't you still understand such a thing?

Attending the "board of directors" of Richanglong opened Xiao Ming's eyes, first the process of offering incense and worship, and then a large set of ceremonies, and then the content of the meeting, first a semicolon shopkeeper and the assistant director of the weaving factory reported the business situation to the big shopkeeper, and then there were some Richanglong involved in the development of the industry.

Xiao Ming only then knew that Richanglong was involved in a lot of categories, silkworm breeding, silk textile this is the main business, in addition to Richanglong is also involved in agriculture, special agriculture, aquaculture, tea. Others, such as the paper industry, the printing industry, and the food processing industry are not few, and even some industries are obviously pressed on the line, which is expressly prohibited by the imperial court, which is the salt industry.

In addition, Richang Longhao engaged in a wide range of maritime trade, and every year a large number of silk fabrics were sold to neighboring countries, such as Korea, Fuso, Chenla, Tianzhu, Boni, Annam, Borneo, Java, and even Dashi. However, they did not have their own fleet and often relied on other ocean-going vessels for trade.

Xiao Ming is more confident that his own port terminal and sea ship manufacturing plan can just meet the needs of Richanglong's overseas trade, which is a very heavy weight, plus Xiao Ming's proposal, cement manufacturing, glass manufacturing and steel manufacturing, etc., Richanglong has a deep interest, Xiao Ming used two drawings in exchange for the cooperation mechanism, is a good start, this is the mode of technology shares, although many of his ideas still exist most on paper and in the mind, but no one will ignore such a huge interest prospects.

Of course, there is the most important point, that is, Xiao Ming intends to use his financial professional knowledge to start the mode of capital operation, in this regard, he has recruited talents like Ai Qili, for the past hundred years to earn hard money Ri Changlong, this novel way to make quick money, for a while is really unacceptable.

A gray old man stood up and said: "This model is not new, Wang Jiefu used this principle to reform and change the law for Emperor Shenzong, but the old man still agrees with what Mr. Sima Guang said, the wealth of the world has its own fixed number, and it will be taken from the people for the country's wealth, which is definitely a way to fish with all its might."

Someone next to him stood up and said: "This is a mistake, when Wang Anshi was ordered to change the law, it was because the imperial court had long been plagued by 'redundant personnel, excessive soldiers, and excessive expenses', and the state used too much, and the financial constraints were caused. ”

The old man immediately ridiculed him: "Since the implementation of the new law, the land annexation has been serious, the number of state soldiers has been reduced, but the combat strength is still weak, a large number of peasants have been deprived of land and displaced, and the new law has caused a disguised increase in taxes, and the people have not complained, which is why the new law was finally abolished." ”

Opponents also stood up to refute, saying that the new law was caused by the struggle for power and profit of the bigwigs above the court, and that it was not the fault of the new law, etc., and there was a lot of hype on the spot, and many people stood up to debate, which seemed to be nothing more than a dispute between the new party and the old party in the current imperial court, and this kind of party struggle was bound to be brought into all social strata of the current Great Song Dynasty.

The support of the "board of directors" is Song Wu, the current giant of the Mo family, who saw the hype on the scene, but ignored Xiao Ming's entry into the house, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, but he couldn't help but let these white-bearded seniors in front of him shut up, so he had to keep coughing and drinking tea to cover up his embarrassment.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Let's not quarrel first, and listen to me" Xiao Ming saw that the meeting was about to be ripped off, and he was anxious, not letting these old things approve of the operation of financial capital is a trivial matter, and delaying his entry into the capital is a big deal.

Everyone stopped arguing and looked at Xiao Ming to listen to what he had to say.

Xiao Ming sorted out his thoughts for a while, opened his mouth and asked: "Everyone, regardless of the competition for the new law, the old gentleman just said that now the land annexation across the country is very serious, and many farmers are displaced, which is naturally true, but I ask you, have we benefited from this matter?" ”

Although he raised questions in the attitude of business, but grasped the key, Richanglong has been increasing in recent years, and the workers required are these peasants who have lost their land, and the feelings of farmers under the feudal system for land are not how much wages you can give can be replaced, it is really because there is no land, Richanglong can expand and recruit people, in order to support the needs of rapid development in these years.

Seeing that everyone was silent in thought, Xiao Ming continued: "Looking at the various measures taken by Wang Anshi to change the law, in a word, it is to use the state to set up monopoly commercial and financial enterprises to collect wealth for the country. However, as a national act of accumulating money, there are naturally many drawbacks, and there are still many foundations that have not been established, and there are naturally many obstacles to rushing into action, but have you ever thought about what would happen if these money-collecting measures were only applied to private business groups? ”

Or the white-bearded old man asked, "Do you mean to carry out the law change within our Richanglong?" ”

"Wrong! This is not the case at all" Xiao Ming said: "Making money with money is the fastest way to make money, and it is carried out in the form of a state, and if it is not done well, there will be inflation and economic crisis!" Richanglong is not a country, we are a collective, what we want to adopt is a kind of money-making development based on physical manufacturing, supplemented by financial capital, and slightly ......"

Immediately, Xiao Ming gave out his package of plans, and the elders who listened to it were staring, although they didn't understand what Xiao Ming said: inflation, economic crisis, etc., but this completely multi-faceted money-making development model is indeed very interesting, especially Xiao Ming's commercial trade model of Liao and Jin.

When he learned that Xiao Ming was still an official of the Xuanhui envoy from the north of the fourth grade, the elders were finally moved, many of these people were former scholars, and many of them were depressed for life, that is, they failed to get a chance to become a leader, and most people still have a deep official-oriented mentality in their hearts.

When they learned that as long as they relied on doing business and doing business, they could get the official titles given by the imperial court like Xiao Ming, these people were eye-opening, and they talked about it for a long time, and finally told Xiao Ming that they hoped that he could avoid it, let them discuss it well, and finally give an answer.

Xiao Ming was very depressed, so he had to withdraw, and when he stood under the corridor, Shen Bei'er walked over gently, and Su Cai'er, as the nominal treasurer, had to attend the meeting.

"Big brother, isn't he happy!" Shen Bei'er asked.

Xiao Ming smiled slightly, and said to Shen Bei'er: "Actually, this is normal, I am not unhappy, now that my career has begun to take off, even if there is no support from Richanglong, I will do it slowly, do you know?" I'm busy! ”

Shen Bei'er smiled bitterly, looked at the clouds in the distance and said: "Actually, the Su family has already proposed marriage, but the patriarch will not agree, if Cai'er wants to marry, she must give up the position of the chief treasurer......"

Xiao Ming smiled: "Actually, I want to take you and Cai'er to go north and south together, open up our own careers, with you by my side, my life is not too exciting!" ”

Shen Bei'er was surprised: "Do you really think so?" ”

"Of course!"

Suddenly, Xiao Ming turned to stare at Shen Bei'er and said, "Sister Bottle, but come and help me, right?" I need talent, and you are talent! ”

Shen Bei'er's face turned red, and she bowed her head and said nothing......

Xiao Ming sighed secretly: "It seems that digging the foot of the wall has not succeeded!" ”

……

The senate finally came to the conclusion that although Xiao Ming's plan was very tempting, no one had ever seen this kind of financial capital operation model, and it was better to wait for Xiao Ming to mature the business model of Liao and Jinguo before considering the financial capital model, but as a senior partner of Richanglong, Gu's Refinery could become the largest shareholder of Richanglong's independent operation, which was the original purpose of the Senate, of course, Xiao Ming could not approve of it.

Su Cai'er was very helpless, and strongly persuaded Xiao Ming to be patient, she would do the work of the senators' association with her father again, Xiao Ming didn't want to say anything about it, it's not like nothing else has happened to you, no matter how good your business plan is in front of investors, people always have to consider risks, even if it's for Cai'er and Bottle, Xiao Ming doesn't plan to give up.

"It seems that I need to find a chance to go to Liao!" Xiao Ming thought.
