Who dares to go?
Who doesn't know that Mr. Liu is leading the troops to stabilize the situation in Yangzhou! At this time, if the county magistrate takes office, isn't he going to be killed?
"Sir, I...my sow recently gave birth..."
"My mother is suffering from cold, and the doctor said she must not be left alone to take care of her!"
"grown ups……"
Each one has the same reason.
Chen Ping was so angry that his face turned green: "Trash, trash, get out of here!"
Everyone fled in a hurry.
Chen Ping was a little angry.
The current situation is really a headache. It's okay to send county officials there, it's reasonable and legal. But who goes and who dares to go? how to get to? If you go alone, isn't that like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth? In these troubled times, it is normal for a thief to pop up in the middle of the road and steal wealth and kill people, right?
Escort?
How many people are sent?
Five people, let's go to the larger scale bandits. After all, the group of skirmishers were not dead, most of them fled.
Escorted by thousands of Liangzhou soldiers?
This is a joke again... That Luo Xiongchao's skirmishers entered Yangzhou in the name of "Liangzhou soldiers". If you send a few thousand more, it's a genius if the people don't turn around!
Therefore, this Young Master of the Liu family really took every step carefully, taking everything into consideration and calculating everything.
"Liu Dahao, Liu Dahao, you really gave birth to a good son!"
Chen Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head, picked up a pen and paper, and randomly selected someone to send. He had to send it anyway. When the Liu family's son and two donkeys entered Yinzhou, they have now established a foothold. Maybe there are such talents in Liangzhou?
…
For the time being, Liu Zheng really had not considered the reaction from Liangzhou.
Because every winter, the barbarians in the north invade and plunder Liangzhou due to lack of food. At this time, the border was always busy with wars, and Liangzhou Mansion had no time to take care of it.
Even if he frees up his hands and wants to take care of the affairs of Yangzhou, Liu Zheng has already established his foothold.
Yesterday's chaos has passed. In the past two days, Liu Zheng, with the support of prominent families, directly launched a drastic "layoff" operation against the Yangzhou County Marquis!
Take down all the people who used to be Lu Zhengyi!
With the support of Yinzhou soldiers and Yangzhou soldiers, this work was successfully completed on the first day.
Those who have been re-elected are those recommended by various prominent families. In this way, everyone was happy, and the noble family that welcomed the new owner into Yangzhou got its first dividend. Of course Liu Zheng doesn't care about this - anyway, with Liangzhou Prefecture here, neither he nor his father can really become the county magistrate of Yangzhou!
So……
How to control Yangzhou?
As Jiang Xuan said, openly confronting Liangzhou Prefecture is sheer nonsense.
In fact, Liu Zheng had already made up his mind. As your sphere of influence slowly develops, these are all things that need to be resolved. At least before the world is really in chaos, if you want to be both legal and reasonable, and truly control the territory, you really need the perfect art of a ruler.
Different from Yinzhou, although the people of Yangzhou now support Liu Zheng, legally speaking, he is not the county magistrate after all. Therefore, Liu Zheng can only temporarily govern Yangzhou as a "colony"! Since ancient times, there have been several ways to manage colonies to achieve the goal of real rule.
First, completely eliminate them... This is too unrealistic for Liu Zheng.
Second, control and support the oligarchic government, that is, the puppet government, and try to maintain their original laws and customs. At this point, Liu Zheng could only do his best to make the counselors and deacons in the county marquis' mansion members of prominent families. After all, in this era, the ruling power of the noble families over the common people sometimes even exceeded that of the county magistrates! As for the county magistrate, he was definitely from Liangzhou Prefecture. He couldn't do it, so he chose to evade power as much as possible!
Third, you must go to the colony to manage it in person, which is exactly what Liu Zheng intends to do! Because Yinzhou is already the territory of my father and myself, even if Liangzhou Mansion wants to replace someone, it has to consider the mood of the people. But Yangzhou is different. If he wants to control this place, Liu Zheng must stay here.
"Brother Liu has so many things to do, do you still have time to summon Yueru?"
Liu Zheng was thinking about something when Zheng Yueru came.
Liu Zheng welcomed her to her seat with a smile and poured hot wine.
Zheng Yueru said with a smile: "Brother Liu, I heard that a prominent family in Yangzhou has given Brother Liu a lot of help this time. What does Brother Liu think?"
Sure enough, it came!
Liu Zheng knew that Zheng Yueru, or rather, those prominent families in Yinzhou, must be worried about this matter. Because since there is help, there will naturally be rewards. What they worried about was that Liu Zheng would get involved with the prominent families in Yangzhou, and then they would be abandoned.
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "I came to you this time to discuss the establishment of a company."
"company?"
Zheng Yueru was confused.
Liu Zheng nodded. This is exactly the method he plans to use to rule Yangzhou! company! The role this thing plays in history is really too important! Starting from ancient Rome, the Age of Discovery, the Netherlands, Britain, Spain, and the merchant gangs in the late Ming Dynasty, they all appeared in the nature of "companies". What is a company? To put it more clearly, a company is a new way of gathering resources and capital!
But now in the Longyan Dynasty, or since ancient times, the business models in this land are all independent individuals, with small spaces, fixed resources, and narrow vision. Even the most advanced business models are what they are now. Prominent family, family management! But despite this, true resource integration and capital aggregation cannot be achieved. It can be said that people in this era still rely on the sky for food. If the weather is not good, they may not have enough to eat for a year.
Isn't this the case for famous families?
Once you are robbed by a gangster, you may lose all your profits for a year. This can easily make this kind of business family, which relies on blood relationships, become chaotic.
At this time, you really need a company!
As the famous families in Yinzhou and the famous families in Yangzhou met, conflicts would inevitably arise, and Liu Zheng could only use this method to reconcile them. He is a ruler and cannot rely on guns to solve everything. He needs these people to make money and pay taxes for himself! Then, he needs them to live better than himself, this goes hand in hand!
"Brother Liu...can you elaborate?"
Zheng Yueru was a little shocked that Liu Zheng would come up with such advanced ideas from time to time.
Liu Zheng also explained patiently: "I plan to set up a joint-stock company in Yangzhou! Of course, you can also understand it as setting up a huge business company or chamber of commerce! There are even more than tens of thousands of people participating!"
Zheng Yueru took a breath: "A huge company?"
Which firm is the largest?
Jinghua’s royal company is big enough, right? That’s only a few thousand people!
Liu Zheng paused for a moment. He knew that Zheng Yueru was difficult to understand, so he could only explain it in a concise and concise way.
"Yueru, this explanation may be more straightforward."
He chuckled and said: "Our Chamber of Commerce
, anyone can invest in it! No matter what kind of investment, we accept that it can be silver, it can be a caravan, it can be a production workshop, raw material supply, or even an idea or a theory, it will all be measured through a value transformation relationship! "
Zheng Yueru nodded.
She understood this. After all, he is a person who has been educated in Liu Zheng's "advertising" and knows what the realization of intellectual property rights is.
Liu Zheng continued: "In this way, we can cooperate with more strangers, instead of limiting the business within the family, our own caravan... In this way, our chamber of commerce can become a A living subject!”
"Think about it, the Zheng family's caravan might reach Jiangdong, which is controlled by the Cheng family? Where might our perfume be sold?"
Zheng Yueru shook her head.
Liu Zheng smiled: "With the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, these resources can be integrated and shared!"
Zheng Yueru was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.
company?
Chamber of Commerce?
Mr. Liu's idea was too bold, but she felt that it was feasible!
Liu Zheng smiled and said nothing, and wrote down some concepts of a limited company on paper. The concepts inside shocked Zheng Yueru. To a certain extent, can debtors not repay debts? Share risks and protect the interests of investors to the greatest extent!
These rules are so impactful to people's concepts that it is difficult for Zheng Yueru to digest them.
Liu Zheng was not in a hurry and waited for Zheng Yueru while drinking.
In fact...he hasn't said yet that the establishment of such large companies is important for integrating society's idle funds, knowledge, resources, land and labor, etc., and can gradually influence politics, military divisions, systems and other superstructures through economic power, and This influence is becoming increasingly prominent! This is the best way Liu Zheng came up with to rule Yangzhou, or in other words, rule the cities under his control in the future! Once such a business name is established, the cohesion of the noble families and the people will be greatly strengthened, and then the so-called county magistrate is nothing!
This is what Liu Zheng is going to do now.
As for the deeper theory, Zheng Yueru couldn't understand it, and neither could other prominent families. In fact, the existence of the company mainly explains the value of exchange, the value of the market, and the value of production and consumption... Of course, these difficult things will not be discussed for the time being.
Zheng Yueru watched for two full hours before looking at Liu Zheng with a wry smile.
Shocking!
The shock in her heart at this moment was beyond words!
How does Mr. Liu's brain grow?
"Brother Liu means that this company...the Chamber of Commerce has Yinzhou Prefecture as its legal person, our distinguished families are shareholders, and ordinary people can even become investors?"
Zheng Yueru said uncertainly.
Liu Zheng nodded: "Yes, that's it!"
This is not only a reform of the distribution model, but also a way to unite people's hearts! Just imagine, Liu Zheng led the entire Yinzhou, and the people of Yangzhou began to get rich, conquering cities and territories, who would care about a mere district and county magistrate? With the credit endorsement of Yinzhou Government and the integration of government and business, the development and expansion of the company can be guaranteed to a greater extent!
The logistics and logistical support capabilities of the Chamber of Commerce can also promote the efficiency of future marches!
Complementing each other, truly a win-win situation!
Zheng Yueru smiled bitterly and stood up, bowing deeply towards Liu Zheng.
"Young Master is a great talent, Yueru is ashamed of himself!"
"It's just Liangzhou, it's not a place where Brother Liu has to bow down!"
Liu Zheng was stunned.
This rating is too high.
