"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Today, Fu Qing came into the palace to discuss matters. He happened to hear the emperor's angry complaints. He could not remain indifferent and immediately stood up to persuade Emperor Tongzhi.
"Fu Qing, tell me, what should I do to make these bastards and idiots believe it? I don't even want to give you any money, these are just a bunch of pigs!"
Of course Fu Qing knew the emperor's painstaking efforts, and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. How can these princes and ministers in the capital have the knowledge that Your Majesty has traveled to Europe?"
"They don't understand what the new world is, and they don't understand the twists and turns in it, and they also have some small ideas, so they resist this obvious opportunity to make a fortune!"
"Oh? Tell me, I'll listen..."
"Well... first of all, these royal nobles really don't understand. They have never had personal contact with the stock market in Jiangnan, but they only heard the descriptions in the letters of their disciples and former officials. Naturally, there is distortion. They heard some strange things. To be honest, it’s an exaggeration, so I can’t believe it!”
"Why do their disciples, former officials and minions say more negative news about the stock market? This is the second factor, haha, because those minions also want to be corrupt!"
"Your Majesty, these nobles in the palace are greedy for the court's money and Lord Long Live's money. At the same time, their minions will also be greedy for their money. This is a deed that leads to deeds!"
"The princes' minions and disciples who have taken refuge have been sent to the south of the Yangtze River. Their first task is to make money for the prince. In any business, you must make money!"
"They have made a lot of money in Jiangnan Stock Market, but will all the money they make be turned over to the prince? Absolutely not. I read Dream of Red Mansions, and it says that Black Mountain Villa embezzled money from the Ningguo Mansion every year, and in the end nothing happened!"
"These dog slaves, in order to keep a little more money for themselves, will naturally complain to them. In this way, the dark side of the Jiangnan stock market will of course be magnified!"
"And the third point is, why do these princes and nobles like Guang Liang's corruption method? Is it just because that kind of routine is more familiar?"
"Not quite! There is another very important point here, that is the traditional corruption model, where a group of people jointly share the money gained through corruption!"
"Of course Guang Liang has to pay money and food to the prince, but he also needs to raise a group of people as helpers to successfully manage the Capital Iron Works!"
"This is a group of people, and these people are all nobles of the Eight Banners! This business will actually benefit a group of people!"
"But His Majesty wants to use profits from stocks to replace their corrupt model. This has actually touched the pockets of many lower-class people!"
"Minions like Guang Liang don't understand stock market trading, and even if they do, such high-IQ trading doesn't require too many people!"
"For the money one or two traders make in the stock market, in reality the old tradition requires a hundred and eighty slaves to work together..."
"Well... this is like a concept often mentioned by the Chinese, called employment rate! Hahaha, that's what it means..."
"Earning 100,000 yuan in the stock market can only provide employment for two or three people, but what about the traditional corruption business? If you want to earn 100,000 yuan, you have to find employment for 100 people!"
"Your Majesty, think about it...what will these prince's men choose? Will they say that the stock market is better? Or will they say that traditional corruption in the past is better?"
"Of course it's the traditional one! Oh...it's true!" Zai Chun could only smile bitterly at this moment.
Fu Qing also laughed, "That's the truth. Your Majesty has sent money to the prince, but the servants below can't get a share of it. They will still say bad things about your Majesty."
"The fourth point is fear! After all, they have just killed Guang Liang and others. These princes are very timid. They certainly don't dare to reveal their wealth at this moment, and they are also afraid that His Majesty will blackmail their capital, so they are resisting Heart!"
"Finally, there is a fifth point. These princes, princes and nobles are really afraid of Xiao Letian! Sigh... To be honest, these people still don't know how to get along with Xiao Letian and the Chinese!"
"No matter how harshly they curse, these are all manifestations of hiding their inner fear..."
One, two, three, four, five, Fu Qing analyzed the current situation very clearly, which moved Zai Chun very much.
"Okay, okay, no wonder people say that you, Fu Qing, are the Eight Banners disciple who knows the best about Westernization in our Qing Dynasty! It's true, you are indeed the pillar of the country!"
"A hundred times better than those trash in the teahouse, ten thousand times better!"
"Tell me, what should I do now?"
Fu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty! In fact, it is harmless to return to chaos. Isn't it just that there is still a shortfall of five million? From now on, we will expand the subscription qualifications!"
"In the past, people with high rank and title came to subscribe. I thought these people could easily eat them all. If you don't want to eat them, then it doesn't matter!"
"Let's open our mouths and let ordinary bannermen and Han people without titles or grades also subscribe. There are still some sensible people in the world!"
"I will order the Qing Times to publicize it more and strive to allow more people to enjoy such benefits!"
"Now those princes are resisting. When they really start making money, they will one day regret it!"
Zai Chun thought for a while, "There is a gap of five million. People are ignorant and short-sighted. Do they really dare to invest money?"
"Your Majesty! If they don't dare, then let's open up another layer of openings and allow foreigners from Dongjiaomin Lane to buy, and allow Chinese businessmen to buy... What are you afraid of now?"
"Wouldn't it be better to let them tell the truth?"
"Hmm... That's good, but when the time comes, these people will take advantage again, and I feel a little bit sad!"
Fu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Then what can we do? Who makes our people ignorant of the goods? They don't understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts..."
"Okay, that's it for now, here comes someone... It is said that Fengxiu has come to the palace, and he should handle the specific matters. We will strive to complete the distribution of our original shares within one month, and list the company in Jiangnan within two months! "
"So anxious?" Fu Qing was stunned for a moment.
"We can't do it if we don't rush..." Zai Chun handed over a piece of confidential electronic paper with densely translated small characters on it, and the beginning was actually the head of state Xiao Letian.
Fu Qing took it with his hands and took a closer look, and suddenly realized that Zai Chun had finally asked his master for a move!
"My disciple Zai Chun, I have received the telegram of greetings. I am very relieved. Although the situation in the capital is chaotic, it is not difficult to break it..."
Xiao Letian's telegram directly named the biggest problem Zai Chun is encountering today, which is that the too-fast pace of reform has prevented most Eight Banners people from keeping up.
Because of the difference in time concepts between the two sides, a huge rift developed between the Eight Banners!
How to mend this rift? Zaichun is definitely not willing to slow down the speed of industrial reform in the Qing Dynasty, but if you don't slow down the speed, those princes will really not be able to catch up.
This crack will create opportunities for people with ulterior motives, which is dangerous! very dangerous!
