Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this: "It seems that the naturalized minerals will still increase profits a lot. It's just not enough. I have the ambition to make the poor people in the world no longer suffer from the harsh winter because they can't afford charcoal, especially in this day and age. When it gets colder and colder every year, how can I not care about the people in the world just because I live in a greenhouse?"
Shen Shixing glanced at Zhu Yijun and said: "Your Majesty is as benevolent as heaven, known to both the government and the public. It is precisely because of this that Lady Zhongshun of the grassland was impressed by your Majesty's benevolence and asked the court to open more minerals so that the benefits donated would promote The people of this department will be transformed into kings.”
Zhu Yijun was in a happy mood: "Although this third lady is a swindler, she is very loyal, so I will grant her invitation."
"yes!"
"In addition, Xu Zhenming of the Ministry of Commerce reported that in the naturalization area, close to Datong, there are several large mines where coal can be mined and transported, and more Mongolians can be transformed into kings. However, if all are opened, , it will cost a lot of money, so please ask the imperial court for instructions."
Shen Shixing replied.
Zhu Yijun said: "In order to benefit the poor people all over the world, and at the same time to reduce the loss of smelting steel, it is necessary to continue to open mines."
"However, it is not a long-term solution for the court and the royal family to make profits from mining. What's more, the profit from mining itself is because the people are richer and the profits are greater. Who uses coal?"
"So, you can open the mine, but you have to tell Sanniang that if they want to open the mine next, they have to let out 10% of the mining profit, and then the imperial court will also let out 10%, and the inner court will also let out 10%, and the total will be three parts. A certain amount will be subscribed by the people of the world, and then profited from the minerals, so that the wealthy people in the world will not just think about profiting from the small people through annexing land and lending money."
Before this, Shen Li, the governor of Yingtian, reflected that the domestic investment channels in the Ming Dynasty were insufficient. After a large number of people got rich, they were still keen on annexing land and becoming big landlords. Then they gave loans to study, and then lived by collecting rent and profits. By the way, they researched the names of the subjects. To seek power issues.
This also forced him, the governor of Yingtian, to set up businesses in the name of the government, expand the scale of factories, improve skills, and assume functions that wealthy people who had become capitalists were unwilling to assume.
Zhu Yijun has been paying attention to this issue and is also thinking about adding other investment channels.
After all, it is human nature to seek profit, and it is also human nature to want stable inheritance of wealth, so it is impossible to prohibit it and can only be channeled.
Zhu Yijun knew that Ming Dynasty needed to establish an investment method that the people of the world felt was more stable and more beneficial than investing in land. This was the next important direction in the field of economic reform and the key to whether the reform could continue.
If the interests of most people in the world are not tied to one investment method, sooner or later the restructuring will lead to the demise of the government, and people will still be more willing to compete for land.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun is now taking advantage of the trend to prepare for further economic reforms. By giving up part of the mineral resources to benefit the people of the country, he will tie the people of the world to the boat of profit from external expansion.
"Your Majesty is wise, this is a strategy that will benefit us forever."
Shen Shixing also agreed with this. His family was a wealthy businessman, so he naturally understood the kind of business Zhu Yijun did.
And he had actually wanted to do this for a long time, but he couldn't directly ask the emperor to let some of the world's mines benefit the people.
Because according to Confucian culture, a gentleman should be ashamed of his words, and Shen Shixing is no exception. He will only mention it tactfully when the emperor does not think of it. He may not even mention it directly himself, but let Yiyanguan do it for him. carry.
It is naturally better if Zhu Yijun can say it himself.
Less gossip.
Zhu Yijun then asked Shen Shixing to take charge of the matter and expand the scale of mining by raising funds from the people across the country.
After Sanniangzi knew what Zhu Yijun meant, she had no objection.
The main reason is that with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, she and her tribe can not get any mining profits. The reason why she does not do this now is just to let other Mongolian nobles see the benefits of obeying the court, so she knows I am not qualified to refuse.
During this period in the Ming Dynasty, the business model of stock-sharing cooperation to share risks and dividends had emerged, which was called Fenshu by people at the time.
Therefore, Shen Shixing and others are no strangers to Zhu Yijun's intention to issue stocks.
And the next thing to do is to issue sub-subscription coupons of Huangming Coal.
Zhu Yijun asked the cabinet and the parliament to discuss the matter and agree on specific system regulations, with a view to formulating a system for promoting subscription coupons as soon as possible.
Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue of the cabinet, and Wang Guoguang of the cabinet are all ministers who are familiar with business. Moreover, Wang Guangguang has also trained Jinshi students in the ruling school for nearly two years to learn financial management. Undoubtedly, he still has enough for the current issuance of subscription coupons for coal mining. Supported by human resources.
What's more, Zhu Yijun's Royal Academy and Xingming Academy also trained a group of people.
When Zhu Yijun asked the cabinet to raise funds to continue developing minerals, the news that Fang Fengshi's resignation was approved also spread among the government and the public.
Many people began to pay attention to the candidate for the new Privy Councilor.
"Since His Majesty decreed the establishment of the Privy Council to divide the power of the cabinet, although the cabinet has the power to determine the merits of hundreds of officials by passing six subjects, it does not have the power to vote for military plans. Even the chief minister of the cabinet can only participate in the discussion. After that, the real The only person who can confirm the specific military ticket plan is the Privy Envoy!"
"With such a powerful Prime Minister, who do you think Otsuka should be elected to?"
On this day, Song Qi couldn't help but ask about Zhang Xueyan, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Zhang Xueyan said nothing, only squinting in thought.
Chen Yujiao said, "What I am quite worried about is that the First Deputy Privy Councilor Ji Guogong will be in charge of the Privy Council. Do you think this will happen?"
"It should be Duke Ji!"
Zhang Xueyan said suddenly.
Song Qi was quite surprised after hearing this and looked at Zhang Xueyan: "Why does Otsuka Zai have such intention?"
"Now that he has been transferred to a civilian position and has become a general and a prime minister, he can directly take charge of military affairs, thus rectifying military affairs. If he comes to reorganize military affairs, no one in the world will dare to rebel."
Zhang Xueyan replied.
"no!"
"It is enough for a person with a military background to become a civil servant. How can he become a prime minister?!"
Chen Yujiao stood up excitedly and asked.
Zhang Xueyan slapped the table, stood up and asked Chen Yujiao:
"Why not?"
"There is a difference between civil and military affairs!"
"No matter what the Duke of Ji is, he is only a martial artist. He cannot decide military aircraft!"
"Otherwise, how can civil servants make arrogant soldiers know the rules and avoid repeating the chaos of the Five Dynasties? When establishing the Privy Council, it should be stipulated that non-literary scholars cannot be in charge of the Privy Council!"
Song Qi also followed suit and said something at this time.
Zhang Xueyan looked out the window with his hands behind his back and said: "If you want to benefit all Han people in the world, you must strengthen your country, and to strengthen your country you must pay equal attention to both civil and military affairs!"
"Although Ji Guogong is a military officer, he is already a civil servant. There is nothing wrong with this. In the past, King Zhongshan served as a civil servant after Banshi returned to the court and assisted Taizu in establishing the world's military system. Why can't Ji Guogong be appointed as the prime minister now? ?”
"I am Otsuka Zai. I can overturn the ministry and present my proposal to the emperor in the name of the ministry!"
Zhang Xueyan said at this time.
"Then I resign! I can't stay in this department anymore!"
Song Qi looked at Chen Yujiao as he spoke: "Where is the father?"
Chen Yujiao nodded: "Same!"
