Chapter 117 A Feast
He Xi never thought about the family world, because social development has shaken the foundation of the family world. The royal family will be embarrassed in the future. He Xi was not willing to put herself in such an embarrassing position.
Since there was no such idea, He Xi never thought of usurping the throne.
He never thought about usurping the throne, and naturally he never thought about controlling the government forever.
No matter it is, He Xi will retire in the future, or He Xi will take the initiative to give up his position after his term has expired.
In short, He Xi will inevitably face a time when he loses power and cannot control the Ming Center in the future.
He Xi had never thought about this issue before. The technological advancement in precision machining requires endless investments. After He Xi steps down in the future, who will care about this?
He Xi's He family will eventually become a member of capital like the following families in the future. At this time, He Xi, it was the right choice for the He family to leave some trump cards. Yang Zhen is actually very smart.
He made an excellent choice. The project hosted by Zhao Zongde seemed to be a steam engine project, but in fact, it was a system project with many problems to be solved. He Xi didn't know. But He Xi knew that Zhao Zongde was a scientist.
His attitude and method of learning are completely different from Ge Tiangong.
He Xi felt that the problem of the steam engine could be solved in the hands of Zhao Zongde.
If it comes, the most generous profits in the future will be in the hands of the He family. As a vassal of the He family, Yang Zhen will reap huge dividends. And it is not obvious or leaky. After all, there are very few people who can really understand these things.
He Xi was silent for a moment.
After he saw through Yang Zhen's thoughts, he recalled that when he took action against Jinghai Trading Company and exchanged interests with Lan Yu, Princess Anqing was furious.
This old thing has been in the past for a long time. But compare it with what is happening now.
He Xi could not help but think more.
He Xi actually didn't take much care of his direct descendants, and was even more strict, giving them opportunities, but if they didn't do well, he would deal with them harshly. For example, in the Liaodong nest case, dozens and hundreds of people were killed. Old craftsmen who have been following He Xi for a long time.
He didn't care at all about He Fu's own business interests and felt they were unimportant.
But He Xi must clearly understand one thing, that is, who are the political leaders? He is the spokesperson of all classes. He Xi is neither inside nor outside. As the head of the He family, He Xi does not fight for the interests of the He family. On the contrary, it harms the interests of the He family and makes up for the shortcomings of the court.
This is fundamentally wrong.
Everyone follows you for glory and wealth, and for a better life. You can promote your doctrines yourself, but you cannot let the people below you do the same.
Here comes what happened today. Yang Zhen was not only fighting for the interests of the He family, but also for himself. After all, Yang Zhen was in charge of the He family's industry.
After being hit again and again, Yang Zhen still has little enthusiasm for work as time goes by. Or maybe they really don’t take He’s property seriously.
But many of He Xi's current needs, and even the support of these staff members and the subsidies for Yao Guangxiao and others, all come from the He family's industry. Counting on the little salary from the imperial court, He Xi doesn't have to do anything.
He Xi secretly thought: "I will probably be the biggest embezzler in the ages."
He Xi, who only saw pros and cons and had no political obsession, immediately knew what to do.
He Xi said: "Estimate how much this project will cost. Let Zhao Zongde go to the bank to borrow money. I will guarantee him and give him one-tenth of the shares. We will take the rest. By the way, I will tell you and Mr. Yao and others." He said that if anyone has an idea this time, they can also end up. If the big ones have problems, the small ones can try to work together. Even if they don't have any, they can still find people to start a company. If there is a need, I, the teacher, will give it to him. That’s it for a secured loan.”
After all, the nobles are not our own people, they are bystanders. Although many of them have been tied to death by He Xi on the boat of reform, this does not mean that they are of the same mind as He Xi, while He Xi's disciples It’s different.
Many of them are specific operators of Liaodong Industry and Beijing Industry and understand how everything works.
He is closer to the entrepreneur and capitalist that He Xi wants than the nobles.
At least it is much more advanced than crony capital.
Before He Xi, my thinking was limited. He only regarded these people he trained as his political successors. That is, the reform faction in the imperial court. But now He Xi finally figured it out. The reason why the civil servant group of the Ming Dynasty was powerful was not because of how many official positions they had in the court. On the contrary, it was because they occupied a large amount of means of production outside the court, so they had to have a presence in the court. Otherwise, the world will not be stable.
Zhu Yuanzhang actually understood this very well. At the beginning of the founding of the country, he recruited surrenders and rebels, and incorporated all local powerful figures into the Ming court. With the help of these local powerful people, he strengthened the authority of the new Ming Dynasty, and then purged them again and again.
What He Xi needs is a force that spreads across the government and the public and occupies a large amount of means of production. Because they have powerful forces outside the court, they must have official positions in the court, otherwise the court will have problems.
Just like the performance of Huizhou merchants and Shanxi merchants in the Ming Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, this is actually the reason, but they are not aware of it. Even Hui merchants and officials from Shanxi merchants will have some mental problems after they become officials of the Ming Dynasty. Variety. Think of yourself as a scholar, not entirely as a businessman.
It can only be said that Confucianism still has two brushes.
Just because he wanted to understand this, He Xi certainly knew that by doing so, he could almost say that he was setting off a wave of carving up state-owned assets. There were many problems in it that he could figure out with his toes. But He Xi didn't have time to take it slow.
After all, various changes in Nanjing are like morning bells and evening drums, ringing in He Xi's heart every day.
He needs a huge power group to support him in a life-and-death struggle with the southern scholar-officials. He Xi wanted to pull down the nobles before, but now he can only let go and cultivate his own people. Even if there are more sequelae, I can't care about it.
Yang Zhen was shocked when he heard what He Xi said and said, "This is not good."
He Xi said: "There's nothing wrong with it. If you want to, Yang Zhen, you can do it."
Yang Zhen was silent for a while, and he was indeed moved. He Xi did not treat Yang Zhen badly. Yang Zhen could be said to be He Xi's most profitable staff. Even Yao Guangxiao only made one or two thousand taels, while Yang Zhen made nearly An income of ten thousand taels.
The reason is simple. Yao Guangxiao is He Xi's staff and only gets a share of the money, while Yang Zhen takes a commission from the He family's business. In ancient times, this was called the top body stock.
Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Sir, this is against the rules. Besides, you have given me enough, how can I dare to have such delusions? But, Zhang Zongde is about to soar into the sky."
It won’t just be Zhang Zongde who soars into the sky.
He Xi knew what kind of monster he had unleashed. The factories founded by Japan's Meiji Restoration and the companies established after the Meiji Restoration were sold have been the pillars of Japan for more than a hundred years. Now He Xi is not sure that what he did today also had such an impact.
But He Xi would not be surprised if several companies that lasted for more than ten or hundreds of years were born from Beijing today.
As a successor of communism, He Xi personally released the beast of capitalism. He Xi felt unhappy in his heart. However, the world is like a tide, and people are in the tide, so they can only follow the trend. Ever since the Liaodong case, He Xi knew that under the management system of the Ming Dynasty, state capitalism could not grow, but only serfdom-based factories.
I knew this place existed today.
But, this day came so quickly. Such rudeness was something He Xi never expected.
He Xi sighed leisurely and said, "Why do you fall in love with Zhang Zongde?"
Yang Zhen said: "I'm about to ask for help from your lord. My little daughter is only twenty-eight years old and is still married ------"
He Xi didn't expect that Yang Zhen really had this idea, but He Xi smiled in her heart and thought it was a good thing. China is the most realistic. Why do you want to be an official? Naturally, it is to plead for the people. No, it’s to get promoted and make a fortune.
He Xi also needs to let people know that scientific research can also help people get promoted and make a fortune. is the best way to promote.
He Xi said: "Okay, I will be your matchmaker."
Some people died, but not completely...
