When the national team of the Ming Dynasty aggressively attacked the economic base of Jiangnan, the bureaucrats within the Hangzhou court were very resourceful.
Not only did they fail to protect their country's private business capital, but they stabbed them in the back.
The bureaucrats launched a bloody round of harvesting and purging of private businessmen, exploited and oppressed them more cruelly, drained them of their last drop of blood, and almost defeated them all before the Ming Dynasty national team.
Then let your relatives and friends take their property as their own and make it a nominal asset in their name.
This is resistance in another sense.
Because the assets of these occupied bureaucrats do not have to pay expensive taxes due to the privileges of the bureaucrats themselves, they have various ways to avoid taxes, so they are not afraid of Ming products in terms of production costs.
However, Ming products not only have an advantage in price, but also have superior quality and output brought by advanced production methods and management methods.
Bureaucratic capital likes to obtain high profits through the monopoly model.
Once a monopoly is obtained, regardless of the quality of the product, it can be sold and excess profits can be obtained. Even the lower the cost, the more it earns.
Therefore, the quality of commodity production under the control of bureaucratic capital is often completely invisible. They only care about their monopoly position and profit rate, and other things are not considered.
However, after the large-scale influx of Ming goods into the Jiangnan market, the situation was different.
The prices of both sides are similar, but on the one hand, the quality is very good, on the other hand, the quality is so bad that you can’t even see it. How do people choose?
It is true that ordinary people are uneducated, but being uneducated does not mean they are stupid. They can still understand the basic comparison between good and bad. At the same price, why should I not buy a good one but a bad one?
What good will it do me to contribute to your official position?
The common people don't care about the affairs between the Jiangnan Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom. They don't have a clear sense of belonging. Whether it's the Jiangnan Kingdom or the Ming Kingdom, if the emperor is the ruler, will it make any difference to them?
Therefore, Ming goods quickly occupied an unshakable dominant position in the Jiangnan region centered on Hangzhou. Bureaucratic capital was quickly squeezed out, making it difficult to survive and almost bankrupt.
They were very angry.
However, there was nothing they could do.
Facing the strong attack of the Ming Dynasty's national team and the Ming Dynasty's advanced production system, they had nothing to do.
The Hangzhou court represented by Shen Gai was nominally the highest power holder in the country, but in fact, Daming was their real boss, or in other words, their supreme emperor.
It's dad.
How can you have trouble with dad?
Dad is going to hit someone when he is angry!
After learning some bad information, Lin Jingchun, who was in Quanzhou, sent a stern letter to Shen Gai, asking Shen Gai to think about whether he could accomplish those things.
After seeing this, Shen Gai broke into a cold sweat and quickly stopped the actions that some guys who were confused about the situation were about to start.
Bureaucratic capital is accustomed to asymmetric competition, and will fall into decline once it is suppressed by opponents of the same level or even super level.
Daming, it’s dad.
A son cannot disobey his father.
Otherwise you will be beaten.
Jiangnan State's bureaucratic capital tried to resist and was beaten violently. After that, they quickly gave up the resistance and never dared to mention resistance again.
However, in an equally competitive environment, he was suppressed by Daming's father. The quality and output were all lagging behind, he couldn't eat anything, and there was a risk of bankruptcy.
In desperation, I don’t know who took the lead in opening up a new path, and decided to actively sell part of the equity of the industry I own to the Ming National Team in exchange for a [cooperative operation], thereby gaining the possibility of survival.
The mission of the Ming Dynasty National Team is to control Jiangnan's economy by controlling its economic lifeline, and to ensure that Jiangnan's economic lifeline is not destroyed by war in the upcoming war.
Although the second Ming and Song wars progressed, the Jiangnan bureaucrats still controlled a considerable part of high-quality commercial resources. If they tried their best to resist, the Ming national team might not be able to successfully gain control.
But they actually took the initiative to propose a cooperative operation.
And in order to show their sincerity, they took the initiative to propose a cooperation model of "half profit" and asked Mingguo's father to let them go and give them a bowl of rice.
Is there such a good thing?
After research, the Ministry of Finance decided to agree to their request, but on the other hand, it also required itself to intervene in the entire production and management process, and asked Jiangnan State's bureaucrats to transfer part of their management power in exchange for their cooperation.
Otherwise, everyone can compete to see who has the strongest capital and who has greater resilience.
The bureaucrats were not happy, but seeing that their industry was on the verge of death, they had no choice but to hold their noses and agree to the intervention of the Mingguo management team.
And once the Ming Dynasty was involved in the entire management process, these bureaucrats soon became pure profit-seekers.
It is difficult for them to compare with Mingguo's management team in terms of management, and they lag behind in terms of management concepts and methods.
Mingguo's management team is capable, reasonable and planned, and has its own views on all aspects of production and sales.
And their management team, except for a few professionals, are all oppressive players. Rather than managing, they are more like controlling slaves and managing a group of slaves.
[Is this also called management? Pooh! This is the superior man beating the slave with a whip! 】
An official from the Ministry of Finance of the Ming Dynasty made this evaluation of the business management level of Jiangnan Kingdom after an on-site inspection.
Therefore, it is no surprise that the management team of bureaucrats was gradually squeezed out of the management process by the Ming Dynasty's professional management team, and gradually lost its actual management power.
In this process, the bureaucratic capital of Jiangnan State went from the initial resistance to the final giving up of resistance, from the initial refusal to cooperate to the final active cooperation. It went through a round of active screening, and then a round of passive screening, and finally won. They are the group of people who accepted the in-depth intervention and management of the Ming Dynasty national team.
This group of people has officially become the legendary compradors.
It can be said that a considerable part of the group of people who are rich and powerful in Hangzhou today are those who accepted the intervention of Ming Dynasty capital.
Under such a situation, they should have been the most loyal lackeys and followers of the Ming Dynasty, allowing the Ming Dynasty to obtain possession of Jiangnan in a simpler way.
However, what should have been a matter of course, but because of the nature of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how greedy the comprador was, they knew that the Ming Dynasty would not let them end well.
After all, their relationship with Ming Guo is a cooperative relationship, not a father-son relationship. If they don't get their father's love, they will definitely be purged by Ming Guo.
They should not be too clear about the book "Hongwu Political Commentary".
So in the midst of the storm, they chose to run away.
And they also know that given the current economic situation of Jiangnan Kingdom, the only people who have the ability to take over the equity assets in their hands are businessmen from the Ming Dynasty.
So when talking to the Ming Dynasty businessmen who cooperated, they spoke very directly.
"It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to accept us. This is something that everyone knows. There is no need to be secretive. We have cooperated for so long and have not received the favor of the Ming Dynasty. This only shows that the country is really cruel. Today it is us , it may be you one day. Since ancient times, businessmen have always been sheep waiting to be slaughtered. This is the final advice."
Bureaucrats gave up their property, converted it into cash wealth, and prepared to make profits.
But it has to be said that they did not know how the Ming Dynasty's economy operated from beginning to end, and they did not know how the Ming Dynasty's state-owned economic policies were implemented. Otherwise, they should know about these Ming Dynasty "businessmen" who cooperated with them They are not businessmen at all.
They are organized.
Of course, they only know about "shi" and not about "establishment". As we all know, "establishment" is far more inclusive than "shi".
After April of the eighth year of Hongwu, the number of Ming-owned industries in Hangzhou surged, and the number of industries controlled by locals declined sharply. A large number of bureaucrats sold off the industries controlled by their families and white gloves, choosing to liquidate and prepare for profit.
The Ming Dynasty national team obtained many intact and high-quality commercial assets through this round of acquisitions, and the prices were also favorable.
The bureaucrats also knew that this was the last sale. Fortunately, these "greedy Ming businessmen" did not make a killing.
Of course, it wasn't done lightly, it hurt so much that they cursed.
But despite the criticism, these bureaucrats are still very honest, because Hangzhou will definitely not be able to stay, so even if the price is lowered, it must be sold.
This perfect buyer's market made them feel very uncomfortable. While making the delivery, they cursed in their hearts that these bastards who took advantage of the situation would be killed by the Ming Dynasty. They would get nothing, and then all these things would be taken away by the Ming Dynasty court. Swallow it in one gulp.
In ancient times, the imperial court always treated merchants with an exploitative attitude. Once they were fattened, they could be slaughtered and eaten. Not only could they eat well, but they could also make the people at the bottom who hated the rich feel happy, increase their support, and reduce rebellion. risks of.
So these Ming businessmen will definitely be killed and eaten!
They want to see rivers of blood!
