Obviously, as a country, the foundation of Ming Dynasty has not decayed at all. Not only isn't it bad, it's pretty good.
If we look at it by the standards of future generations of financial dogs, Daming, a company that is about to be suspended from listing, is actually a company of very good quality. Have products that can occupy the world market for a long time and bring huge cash flow. And within the foreseeable time, Daming’s products have no competitors at all. PetroChina and Sinopec are not as stable as China Tobacco.
As for Daming's financial situation, there are short-term difficulties. Just like Huang Dabao said, it was because he had no money.
But Daming's financial situation is better than that of most listed companies in the Chinese securities market in later generations!
Because the Ming Dynasty only lacked operating cash, but did not have a penny of debt.
A listed company that does not have a penny of debt and also has high-quality products that can monopolize a huge market for a long time and can bring abundant cash flow, just because of some unexpected events, operating cash dries up... This is really bad. Already?
According to this standard, can the Chinese stock market still be worth it?
"The Ming Dynasty's assets are so high-quality..." Zhu Cixiang crossed his arms and sighed, "It is indeed the inheritance left by our ancestors, it's great!
But how could such a good Ming Dynasty end up in this situation? "
"Master Qiansui..." Huang Dabao on the side heard Zhu Cixiang's words and thought he was asking himself, so he replied in a low voice, "A few days ago, when the emperor was listening to the government at the imperial gate, he said: I am not the king of the subjugation of the country. I will be the one who will destroy my country!"
Oh, it’s not that the foundation is bad now, nor that there is no money, but that the minister is bad?
Zhu Cixiang smiled and said two words: "Nonsense!"
In his previous life, he was also a nobleman of Tianhuang in the Ming Dynasty, so of course he was very familiar with the painful history of the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he is also a Chartered Financial Analyst, specializing in analysis. As soon as he analyzed it, he knew that what Chongzhen said was nonsense.
When a company collapses, the big boss is not responsible. The responsibility lies with the workers below? Did someone say this?
Moreover, Chongzhen, a "king who was not a subjugated country", had great power in the seventeen years before the subjugation of the country. Why did he promote a group of ministers who were subjugated to serve as officials?
Could it be that the Ming Dynasty really didn’t have any useful talents?
That's probably nonsense. There were still many talented people in the late Ming Dynasty. Those who were rebels included Li Zicheng and Li Dingguo, those who were pirates were Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong, and those who were traitors included Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, etc...
Even on the imperial court, there were many talents, such as Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Mao Wenlong, and even Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi among the traitors, and Li Zicheng among the rebels, all of whom had served under Emperor Chongzhen. As for the Zheng family pirates, together with Li Dingguo, they became the mainstay of the resistance against the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty.
It is nonsense to say that there are no talents, but it is almost the same to say that the talents cannot be used well!
Of course, there must be corrupt officials, and there are many clans that are waiting to die. In addition, there are indeed many problems with taxation in the Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, it would be more than 10 million, and doubling it would not be a problem!
During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty had an income of more than 30 million a year... Of course, it was not money, but mainly food. However, during the Hongwu period, there was not much money circulating in the country, and the money in the New World had not yet been dug out! It's quite normal not to be able to collect money.
But at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the domestic silver stock of the Ming Dynasty was at least 500 million, and the court only collected two to three million silver a year (excluding food), which was a bit imbecile.
Not only is he imbecile, he is also very fishy!
According to Zhu Cixiang's many years of experience in the financial market, it is normal for businessmen to be unwilling to pay taxes after making money. But it is very abnormal for officials to be unwilling to collect taxes. There is only one reasonable explanation for this abnormal phenomenon, which is that the money that businessmen should pay is not less, but it does not flow into the national treasury. As for where it went... Haha, this matter Zhu Cihong couldn't help him at all.
His occupation in his previous life...wasn't he just playing with money? So money is no object! However, there are not no problems facing Zhu Cixiang now.
"It's possible to save...but I can't use my skills until I have to go to Beijing?" Zhu Cixiang said to himself, "Old ancestor! The time you gave is too tight! And...how can I get out of Beijing? ? You can give me a solution!"
"Master Qiansui," Huang Dabao suddenly spoke at this time, "Supervisor Wang is here and wants to see you."
"President Wang?" Zhu Cihong asked, "Which one?"
"That's Wang Cheng'en, eunuch Bingbi, the admiral of the East Factory!" Huang Dabao said, "The emperor asked him to be the general manager of the internal and external military camps and the admiral of the nine gates a few days ago... I don't know how he still has time to move around in the palace."
Zhu Cixiang slammed the table: "That's the way my ancestors gave me a way to survive!"
…
"Huang Dabao, go guard outside and send the rest of the gang away."
After Huang Dabao and all the waiters were dismissed, only Zhu Cihong and Wang Chengen were left in the Duanjing Hall of Duanben Palace.
Under the dim light, Zhu Cixiang sat behind the desk, while Wang Chengen, wearing a red python robe, stood opposite the desk with a slight smile on his face, looking like a loyal elder paying attention to the younger generation.
Regarding Wang Chengen, Zhu Cixiang has a very positive evaluation in his memory - an honest man!
Not all eunuchs are cunning and cunning, even among the great eunuchs there are many honest and honest masters. Don't think that honest eunuchs have no future in the palace. In fact, the masters in the palace like honest people. Eunuchs are domestic slaves. How many masters would like a bad-tempered domestic slave?
And Wang Chengen, who was deeply loved by Emperor Chongzhen, was an honest eunuch who had no opinions.
There is no doubt about this!
Historically, the reason why Chongzhen hung on the crooked neck tree in Meishan was not only because he wanted to save face, but also because Wang Chengen was too honest and didn't know how to arrange an escape for his master. The master wants to save face and refuses to issue an order to move the capital. Why don't you, a slave, arrange an escape for the master?
As a result, when disaster strikes, you can't even get out of the city gate!
If it were Eunuch Wei and Emperor Carpenter, it's hard to say whether Li Zicheng could be caught and killed, but he would definitely not sit there and wait for death in Beijing. He would have fled to the south of the Yangtze River to be at ease.
But looking at Wang Chengen, whom Emperor Chongzhen trusted most, we can probably tell who this "not the king of subjugation", the king of subjugation, is using?
Although Wang Chengen was useless, Zhu Cixiang wanted to save the Ming Dynasty, but he couldn't do it without his help.
Because without his help, it would be difficult for Zhu Cixiang to even get out of the Forbidden City, let alone run to Jiangnan.
If he can't escape, he will be Li Zicheng's prisoner in a few days, and Daming's high-quality assets will belong to others and have nothing to do with him.
But how to convince Emperor Chongzhen's most trusted and honest eunuch to help him arrange his escape?
When Zhu Cixiang didn't know how to speak, "Wang Laoshi" himself solved the problem for Zhu Cixiang.
"Master Chitose, I heard from Dr. Zeng that the reason you slept all day and night was not because of any illness, but because your ancestors were entrusting you with dreams. Is this true?"
In a dream! Zhu Cihong knew it at one point, and he would have a solution right away.
In his previous life, he was a senior practitioner who had worked hard in the financial industry for more than ten years. In addition to analytical skills, deception and anti-deception were also necessary abilities.
He had a nickname among the financial migrant workers in Lujiazui in later generations, called "Pig Wants to Fly". Even a pig could fly to the sky. This deception is much worse than the big deception like "fake drug stop", but what's the problem with deceiving a "Wang Laoshi"?
