Chapter 49 The rise and fall of Zhang Youzhi
When the Wu family of the Marquis of Jiangyin went to Zhu Yuanzhang, they took their troops with them. As for how much, it has been so long that it is impossible to tell. However, this also allowed the Wu family and Li Shanchang and others to go further.
Because Li Shanchang is a direct descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, the person who is united with Li Shanchang is also a direct descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang once contacted the following generals through Li Shanchang. This is also the reason why Li Shanchang’s tail is too big to fall off.
If Li Shanchang and Zhu Yuanzhang had not had a period of mutual intimacy and intimacy, Li Shanchang's power would never have grown so big.
The Wu family of Jiangyin Marquis defected to the Feng family with their troops, but they were not as good as the Feng family. Feng Sheng's brother Feng Guoyong directly handed over the Feng family's horses to serve as Zhu Yuanzhang's personal army commander, so that he could be promoted later, but the Wu family did not this way. Therefore, although the Wu family's contributions are good, they are not considered the core of the Huaixi Group.
This is why, in history, Feng Sheng was forced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang. But when Wu Gao was in trouble, as the general of the Southern Army guarding Liaodong, if Zhu Di hadn't used counterintuitive tactics to make Nanjing withdraw Wu Gao, it would not have been so easy for Zhu Di to clear out the enemies behind him.
Generally speaking, Wu Gao did not have a close relationship with the people in power in the south, the Korean line and the Yingguogong line. Of course, just because they are not very close, they are not life-or-death enemies.
Naturally, it is not as good as the bloody feud between Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang.
Zhu Xiongying naturally believed in Liu Jing even more.
Zhu Xiongying said: "Okay. It's him."
As for the fourth candidate, Zhu Xiongying didn't think about it. There must be room for He Xi.
------
He Xi didn't know that he left room for Zhu Xiongying, and Zhu Xiongying also left room for him.
He had a lot to do at the moment.
For example, immediately patrol the north to consolidate the Monan area. Otherwise, as time goes by, there may be variables. He did not plan to stay in Beijing for long and was ready to leave almost immediately. However, there is one thing that must be done before that.
Just meet these big businessmen.
Under He Xi's order. Yang Zhen naturally conveyed it well. The directors of all trading companies in the capital could not refuse He Xi's call directly.
In Yilun Hall, Imperial College, Beijing.
The Imperial College in Beijing and the Imperial College in Nanjing are almost replicas. Of course, there are some changes to suit local conditions. However, the names of each place have not changed. Naturally, Yilun Hall is still the largest classroom in the Imperial College.
As soon as He Xi came, he sat at the top and looked at the dense crowd of people below. The Yilun Hall was almost full.
But when He Xi saw these people, he sighed in his heart.
The National People's Congress is different.
Before that, those who were in charge of Beijing's wealth were collateral members, relatives, or servants of various noble families. Because only in this way can these people be trusted. But things are different now. He Xi saw many new faces, including several students from Yingkou University.
Otherwise, although He Xi did not offer a business major at Yingkou University, people from Yingkou University who were proficient in mathematics and had close ties with the Beijing government were more suitable than some domestic servants or Confucian scholars for doing business.
However, before that, these people were more of the stewards below, and they were really in charge of the people behind them. But now no one from the boss is here.
Instead, it gave them a chance.
He Xi didn't waste any time and said to Yang Zhen, "Everyone is here."
Yang Zhen said: "Everyone is here."
He Xi coughed twice and said, "That's it."
As New Year's Eve approaches, the already silent Yilun Hall becomes more solemn and solemn.
He Xi said calmly: "I know everyone is worried. Today's world has changed drastically. How will the court deal with you? How will it deal with the people behind you? There are even lessons for Puzhou Society."
When He Xi said this, he looked around the corner and saw Zhang Youzhi hiding in the corner, his face extremely pale. His whole body was shaking and he almost didn't look like a living person.
However, He Xi did not focus on him and said: "I'm here
Declare a few principles. First, each company is an independent entity. If the major shareholder or employer behind the scenes commits crimes, it has nothing to do with the company. Of course, the company is the property of the owner. If the court punishes the owner and confiscates the property. Just cooperate. However, the company is the property of the employer, and you are not the property of the employer. Moreover, the court generally follows the following principles when disposing of such property. Stable, because every company has many people under it. If a company goes bankrupt, many people will be without food and clothing. This is not what the court wants to see. As for value preservation, after all, the imperial court was only here to steal property, and it was for the sake of property. It won't depreciate on its own. Generally speaking, there may be two options. One is to run it by the court itself, and your employer is the court, or to sell it and sell it. You are all familiar with it. Zhang Youzhi. "
"The grassroots are here." Zhang Youzhi stood up immediately, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
He Xi said: "Yang Zhen is in charge of the industrial and commercial affairs of the imperial court, and he is your boss. Of course, this is temporary. What will happen in the future? We will discuss it at that time."
Zhang Youzhi burst into tears and said, "The common people have thanked your consort. Thank you, your consort."
This period of time has been really ups and downs for Zhang Youzhi.
Zhang Youzhi is a talented person. After he joined Shen Guogong, Puzhou Society made great progress and successively completed the Beijing City Project, Tianjin River Project, Lugou River Project, North Canal River Project, and many other major projects. In addition to construction, , and other side industries, such as transportation on the canal, docks and other industries.
In short, Puzhou Society formed a huge industry in the hands of Zhang Youzhi.
And during the whole process, it is impossible to say that Zhang Youzhi did not rely on Shen Guogong's background. But to say that Zhang Youzhi took advantage of others by clever means is really not true. At least in the business world, Zhang Youzhi's reputation is pretty good.
And Shen Guogong is also a person who cherishes feathers.
I don't want to make things too bad.
But after Shen Guogong launched a mutiny, Zhang Youzhi's situation plummeted. Zhang Youzhi has thought very seriously about how he should die? How to die without involving your family. Don't involve the family. If he hadn't been worried that committing suicide would be regarded as contempt for the court and angered the Zhang family, he would have wiped his own neck.
Now that He Xijinkou said something, his identity immediately changed drastically, and his backer changed from Shen Guogong to the imperial court, which was also a great benefit to Zhang Youzhi.
Zhang Youzhi gritted his teeth secretly in his heart and said to himself: "Never mind. I must find a way to stay in the court this time. I can't let him be sold."
Puzhou Society was Zhang Youzhi's lifelong effort. Even when he dreamed about it at midnight, Zhang Youzhi secretly thought that he estimated that he would never achieve more than Puzhou Society in his lifetime. Even if he could turn back time and try it again, would he be able to achieve the same achievements as Puzhou Society?
Zhang Youzhi also had no confidence.
Some opportunities cannot be copied.
Therefore, Zhang Youzhi never thought of giving up Puzhou Society in his life.
As for an industry as big as Puzhou Society, it must have a strong backend, otherwise it will not be able to operate at all. During the period when Shen Guogong fell, Zhang Youzhi had already felt the malice of the entire world. If it weren't for Zhang Youzhi's skill, and many things had not been settled.
Zhang Youzhi had been eaten up long ago.
He Xi said: "Remember what I said, even if the people behind you have committed great crimes, as long as you did not help them, they are not guilty. And the imperial court is dedicated to punishing rebellion, and treats its old and honorable ministers favorably. You and others We can continue to operate as before. Remember what is written in the Ming Law."
The most obvious feature of the Ming Dynasty laws formulated by He Xi is the abolition of slaves and slaves. Although the relationship between people is not completely equal, there is no personal dependence. If the master commits an offense, the following people will all go to jail.
But now, it's completely different.
This was quite shocking to the people in front of them. ..
Without him, He Xi's formulation of the Ming Law was a dead letter in many places. However, Zhang Du was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and devoted himself to implementing the Ming Law, but his end was suicide in prison. Because Zhang Du knew that he would not end well if he did not commit suicide. Suicide might be his only remaining dignity.
Most of the people in front of me were eating with the honorable nobles behind them. To the outside world, he is a member of a certain Duke, a certain Marquis, or a certain Uncle's family.
