Chapter 125 The Daimyo Chamber of Commerce is established!The grand blueprint to colonize the world is slowly unfolding!
He was out of breath from running, and it was hard for such a little old man.
I'm almost 60 years old and still running around.
After Ling Han came in, he took a breath and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, your Majesty summons you.
You can safely and boldly tell His Majesty what you just told us. "
Chen Han smiled.
Zhu Youwei also breathed a sigh of relief.
……
another room.
Chen Han came in from the outside, and after looking at Zhu Yuanzhang again, Zhu Yuanzhang had a trace of apology on his face.
He also reflected on it just now.
Indeed, he became anxious when he heard Chen Han talk about his own descendants.
Nothing else. He just couldn't listen to others talking bad about his descendants.
Although he knew that his children and grandchildren might become a burden to the imperial treasury.
But he felt a little at ease in his heart.
That means that originally this world belonged to my Lao Zhu family.
Isn’t it a matter of course that the descendants of my old Zhu family are being raised by the imperial court?
His thinking is so limited.
If you keep talking to him, he won't be able to ignore you.
They may even think that you are meddling in other people's business. This is my family's business and none of your business.
But now Chen Han changed his mind and told Zhu Yuanzhang, if you don't change, it may ruin the future of your descendants.
Do you just want your children and grandchildren to be raised like pigs?
Then when you get fat, you will be slaughtered?
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was both angry and helpless.
He can only escape.
Now that Chen Han said there was a way to solve such a difficult problem for him, of course he wanted to hear it.
Just now, I was anxious and walked away, which seemed to be merciless.
After summoning Chen Han again, he felt obviously a little embarrassed.
But he is the emperor after all, and he still has a big heart: "Monkey boy, it's just us now.
Just now you said something unpleasant. Although we were angry, we didn't show it. Now that you said there is a good solution, you can explain it directly and let's discuss it together. It is true that we did not understand you just now. "
As soon as Chen Han came in, Zhu Yuanzhang apologized to him, and Chen Han's purpose was achieved.
At the same time, I felt very happy in my heart.
This is the pleasure of showing off.
Asking an emperor to apologize to himself, it seems that cultural people really like this, the feeling of pretending to be cool in front of powerful people.
No wonder Zhuge Liang has always liked this way of speaking.
Now it seems that even I am inevitable.
However, Chen Han was not pretentious. After sitting down, he immediately began to analyze, "Your Majesty, the reason why today's clan members are criticized by officials and cast aside by the people is simply that these clan members all receive salaries from the imperial court, but they are Don't do human affairs.
The salary is more than ten times higher than that of officials, but they have nothing to do.
Besides thinking about having more children and receiving more salary, what else do these clan members do every day? "
After Chen Han finished speaking, Zhu Biao was convinced.
The descendants of the clan, more than 20 years later, many of them no longer have the concept of war.
They are emperors within their own fiefdoms, and some even rely on their status as princes to bully good people and government officials.
This is the reason why so many people hate the princes of the old Zhu family so much.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt unhappy in his heart.
This was what he had longed for when he was young.
How he wished he could do nothing when he was young.
Just eat and drink, you don't have to do anything, someone is taking care of you.
So after he becomes emperor, he will let his children and grandchildren enjoy these.
So he couldn't figure out why some people were so jealous.
Isn’t this what my children and grandchildren should enjoy?
So now when he heard Chen Han's words, he felt a bit harsh.
Chen Han saw his expression at a glance and said: "Your Majesty, you think that after risking your life, you finally climbed up from the pile of dead people and stepped on other people's bones to ascend the throne of the emperor, then my If my children and grandchildren can enjoy the empire I have built, there will be no problem at all.
Those who talk too much do so because they are incompetent.
If their ancestors could have such achievements as you, they would definitely have done more than you. "
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed very much with Chen Han's words.
But he couldn't say that.
Chen Han said again: "Actually, according to common sense, there is no problem at all if you think this way."
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a surprised expression after hearing this.
He thought Chen Han would say that his thinking was narrow-minded.
But I didn't expect that Chen Han didn't.
Then Chen Han said: "Of course you can bear it. Your descendants and grandchildren were captured by the peasant army because they were too fat, and they were stewed together with the venison in a pot, called the Fulu Feast, and distributed to the soldiers. You have to bear it. Your children and grandchildren are behind you. Because they are too rich, every time they rebel, your children and grandchildren are attacked first.
You have to endure that when the Ming Dynasty falls, your children and grandchildren will be slaughtered like pigs;
You have to bear it that every time the rebels gather the people, a large group of people will lead the rebels to raid the homes of your children and grandchildren.
If you can handle this, I think you should be fine. "
When Chen Han finished saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was visibly pale.
His hands gripped the armrests of the chair, causing the chair to creak.
And Chen Han's mouth seemed to have a spring on it, with no intention of stopping, "Those of us moderns, looking at history books, rarely see any emperor who, after the founding of the country, hoped that his children and grandchildren would be nothing. Half-used waste.
There are also very few emperors who want their children and grandchildren to rest on their merits for founding their country forever.
They more or less hope that their children and grandchildren can be as successful as children from ordinary families.
I don’t want my children and grandchildren to be pigs.
I wonder, Your Majesty, do you agree with my statement? "
Zhu Yuanzhang's dry teeth were about to shatter at this time, but he still endured his anger and said, "If you are summoned again, just to ridicule us, just to show off your quick words, your goal has been achieved."
Chen Han immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I am just telling you that they have more favorable conditions than ordinary people, but you keep them in captivity.
You think that if you give them all the material conditions, they will definitely live a happy life.
But you keep them in a cage and just keep feeding them, but you make them lose the freedom to fly to the sky.
Do you think this is good? Zhu Yuanzhang asked after listening to Chen Han's words, "Then what do you think should be done?" "
Chen Han replied directly: "According to the method I have thought of, we can establish a Ming Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, which in our modern times is called a state-owned company.
The imperial treasury holds [-]% of the shares in this company, [-]% goes to the royal family, and the remaining [-]% can be used as rewards.
Aren’t there many generals who don’t know how to reward them after they have made great contributions?
If you give them land, they will only annex more and more.
It's better to reward them with shares directly and let them know that as long as they are on Daming's ship, they can enjoy dividends.
Not only can he enjoy it himself, but even his children and grandchildren can enjoy the dividends.
Isn't this better than just giving them a death-free gold medal?Wouldn't it be better than giving them a piece of land directly?
As for the royal family and the clan, the remaining [-]% can be given to the royal family with [-]% and the clan with one share.
The royal family's [-]% can be inherited by the royal family from generation to generation.
The remaining [-]% can be divided among the current princes.
In this way, the clans that will be born in the royal family in the future will be divided from these two percent;
That portion of the clan is given to the current princes, who can then pass it on to their children and grandchildren.
In the future, the profits of the Ming Dynasty Chamber of Commerce will be sufficient, and the salary of the clan can be provided by the Ming Dynasty Chamber of Commerce instead of going to the imperial treasury.
This is to avoid the royal family and clan and owe the world a favor.
From now on, even if the royal family and clan live a good life, it will have nothing to do with the world's taxes.
The treasury can get [-]% of the profits from the Daming Chamber of Commerce.
Half of this [-]% profit can be used to subsidize officials all over the world and use high salaries to maintain integrity.
The remaining [-]% will allow those who have made a difference around the world to take action.
As long as the Daming Chamber of Commerce, that is, the state-owned company, makes more money, everyone will benefit.
The royal family, clan, treasury, officials, and those who have made meritorious deeds can all benefit from it, so how can everyone not be tied together? Because as long as you make the cake bigger, you can get more dividends.
Let more people understand that they are not just working for Lao Zhu's family, but working for themselves.
Once this concept is changed, the enthusiasm will be much greater. "
After Chen Han said these words, everyone present was stunned for a moment.
Especially what Chen Han said, instead of taking salaries from the treasury to support the royal family and clan members, the Ming Dynasty Chamber of Commerce will distribute dividends to support all the clans in the world.
In this way, the children and grandchildren of Lao Zhu's family will no longer owe favors to the world, and they can enjoy the same generous life.
Of the [-]% held by the national treasury, half is used to subsidize officials all over the world.
In this case, they will also be more motivated.
This is really like what Chen Han said, high salary to support integrity.
Then there is a problem. Zhu Biao asked directly: "How can you guarantee that the Daming Chamber of Commerce you mentioned will make money? If it loses, doesn't it mean that everyone will have to live a hard life together?"
Chen Han smiled and said, "Your Highness, let me tell you this.
How can state-owned companies lose money? Basically, you have to be very messy, or it is convenient for outsiders to get involved, and you will lose money.
Otherwise, it occupies the most advantageous information gap, the best resources, the smartest managers, and the largest subsidies.
The biggest advantages in doing business are given to state-owned companies. How can they lose money? "
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment by the question, and then Chen Han said, "When I lost my sight, I should have told you that today's Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the United States in future generations.
Its total trade volume accounts for more than of the world's total trade volume.
After lifting the maritime ban and building a powerful navy, the Ming Dynasty's use of firearms is already the most advanced in the world today. It only needs to develop firearms well to consolidate its advantages in this area.
Then the Ming Dynasty should be invincible in terms of navy. "
Then Chen Han briefly introduced Emperor Yongle, that is, when Zhu Di ordered Zheng He to sail to the Western Ocean, the fleet led by Zheng He ranked first in the world in terms of scale, strength, and number of people.
He even introduced in detail the places Zheng He arrived on during his voyage to the West.
I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son were yearning for it.
Then Chen Han said with emotion, "Zheng He's voyages to the West were based on the fact that our great eastern country is a country of etiquette, so what he did in his voyages was not to plunder resources or colonize land.
Rather, the purpose of promoting the enlightenment of the Ming Dynasty is to hope that these countries can wholeheartedly move towards the Ming Dynasty, learn from the tolerance and breadth of the East, and promote the power of the Ming Dynasty.
But to put it bluntly, in addition to bringing gains to the royal family's internal funds, this kind of wasteful voyage to the West was considered a loss-making business for the people and the court.
This is a bit similar to giving money to buy praise from others. We still suffered a little loss.
As I said before, a large amount of food can actually be grown in the vast land in Nanyang.
Even that land contained some of the most needed supplies for the Industrial Revolution.
Gold and oil have huge reserves in Southeast Asia.
The relationship between countries is inherently predatory. Since we want to be strong and we need to create a prosperous dynasty, conquests will inevitably occur.
In modern times, countries like Britain and the Netherlands had the so-called East India Company.
This type of company has its own armed forces, which on the one hand ensures the safety of its own fleet, and on the other hand carries out colonial plunder.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty Chamber of Commerce was established, and a chamber of commerce with an army could also be established.
With the start of the industrial revolution and strong productivity, when the market needed to be expanded, such caravans were sent out to colonize and do business all over the world.
Chen Han said very excitedly: "With such good conditions, I don't believe that the Daming Chamber of Commerce can still lose money.
Even the Daming Chamber of Commerce can not only be limited to Daming, but can also establish the Daming Beiyang Chamber of Commerce and go north. In the vast forests of the north, there are countless coal, wood resources and products; The Ming Dynasty Oriental Chamber of Commerce can be established to colonize maritime countries dominated by Japanese slaves; The Ming Dynasty Nanyang Chamber of Commerce was established to capture the entire Nanyang for growing food;
Establishing the Ming Dynasty Western Chamber of Commerce can expand westward and conquer the Timurid Empire.
Back then, the Chamber of Commerce could push Genghis Khan wherever he attacked.
Will the Daming Chamber of Commerce still have no money to make by then? I'm just afraid that there will be too much money, and those clans won't be able to spend it all.
The royal family will be extremely rich, and the national treasury will be filled with mountains of gold and silver; Officials can live a very comfortable life through dividends without the need for corruption;
After business prospers, people can live and work in peace and contentment without worrying about any natural or man-made disasters.
The Nanyang area is filled with the grain of the Ming Dynasty, and the East Sea is filled with inexhaustible silver and gold. This will be a grand scene.
Are you not tempted by these majesties and your highnesses? "
Can you not be tempted? When the father and son thought about what Chen Han said, if they could colonize so many places and do business in those places, would the Ming Dynasty be able to win in the future? Ling Han's eyes turned red when he heard this.
I really didn't expect that Chen Han had such a grand plan.
Immediately moved.
Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood what Chen Han wanted to do, and he immediately smiled and said, "I didn't expect that a monkey like you would have such ambitions.
I guess when you are in modern times, you also think that one day, if you can go back to the past, you must do so, right?Have you been thinking about it for a long time? "
Chen Han also smiled honestly, "Your Majesty, don't tell me, even a modern person would actually think so.
Everyone thinks that if they traveled to 600 years ago, they would help the Ming Dynasty embark on such a path.
The Ming Dynasty must become a true empire on which the sun never sets.
We must not be allowed to be bullied by those countries in the West.
We must never let those little Japanese slaves from Japan dare to act wild like that! "
