After the interview ended, Shao Shude felt a little disappointed. No one was interested in Bohai Trading Company.
But it doesn't matter, he will vigorously promote this matter. When the profits of this company can stabilize at hundreds of thousands of dollars, only half will be used as dividends every year. Even if there is only 1% of the shares, it will be in units of thousands.
count.
This amount of money is still flowing slowly every year, and no one can ignore it. The annual salary of a Xiazhou governor is only 720 yuan.
The annual salary of the prime minister is only more than 3,000 min, which is similar to that of the Jiedushi envoy. The King of Xia rewarded him with 3,600 min. This amount is the annual salary of Shao Shude as the Jiedushi envoy of Shuofang.
Take Chen Cheng as an example. If he holds 1% of the shares, it is equivalent to getting an extra annual salary without increasing the workload. Isn't it nice? If he recognizes this income, then when it comes to Bohai Trading Company and even Liaodong
He will be particularly attentive to Tao matters.
Once someone rebels in Liaodong and affects everyone's ability to make money, it will be intolerable.
Which official dares to say that suppressing the rebellion in Liaodong costs too much and it is better to give up and shrink the checkpoints and troops back to the mainland, then he simply does not want to be promoted.
It is true that sometimes, giving up part of the land appropriately can have certain benefits in maintaining the declining dynasty. It may allow the decadent dynasty to continue for another ten or eight years, but what is the meaning of this?
Shao Shude is very tolerant.
He felt that it was acceptable to maintain Liaodong until the moment the dynasty collapsed and hand it over smoothly to the next dynasty that emerged, and even what he wanted to see.
In the 21st century, Northeast China was within the territory of China, but would it definitely develop like this in this time and space? No one could say for sure. Maybe it would have taken another fork in the road like Vietnam? So he never took it lightly, and always
We are trying to find ways to increase the centripetal force of the Central Plains towards the Northeast.
If you have done these tasks in a down-to-earth manner, you will have a clear conscience. To take a step back, Northeast China will really be separated from the Chinese territory like Vietnam in the future. As long as immigration and assimilation are in place, from a national sense, it will also broaden the living space of this nation.
, earning more land under the sun is also meaningful - every nation has its rise and fall, this is obvious, but if there are rich land resources left by the ancestors, it will definitely be easier to revive.
On March 15th, a total of forty shares of Bohai Trading Co., Ltd. were publicly sold in Luoyang South City. However, after three days, many people asked and few bought. On the evening of the 18th, when the news came back to Guanfeng Hall, Shao Shude could only sigh.
.
"I originally wanted to give some benefits to the people, let them earn some money, and share the dividends brought by the expansion of Daxia's territory, but I didn't know the goods." Shao Shude drank tea angrily and suddenly asked: "
I heard that two people bought ten shares each, one named Xiao and the other named Gao. What happened?"
The women surrounding Shao Shude had different expressions and were silent.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the supervisor of the Jiafang Department, Xiao Aguzhi, and the bodyguard Gao Chongnian each bought ten shares." Wang Yanfan replied from the side.
"Oh?" Shao Shude was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at Yue Liduo first, and when she nodded, he pulled Gao, who was hiding behind the girls, over and asked, "But you asked your brother to buy it?"
of?"
"Yes." A blush appeared on Gao's face, obviously a little embarrassed.
"Why let him buy it?" Shao Shude asked.
Mrs. Gao is from Bohai and is quite aware of her family's situation. Under Yue Liduo's persuasion, she also bought ten shares and left them to her natal brothers. However, she was embarrassed to say this because it would appear to be greedy for money, so she could only
Said: "I heard that the trading company's shares were not selling well, and it was a matter of Tianjia's face.
········2
"Young lady, you care about me, right?" Shao Shude said happily. "No!" Gao blurted out subconsciously.
Then he felt that this sentence was not appropriate and might offend the saint, so he looked at Shao Shude carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not angry.
"You sent someone to buy the shares, but they were not registered under the name of Dazhuan or Daguangxian..." Shao Shude smiled meaningfully.
Gao almost buried her head in her chest, afraid to see anyone.
Shao Shude laughed, knowing that this woman was thin-skinned and could not continue teasing her, so he said, "Go down and take a look at the child." Gao suddenly raised his head, surprise replaced his shame.
As a mother, there is no mother who doesn't think about her child. Although she gave birth to a child through stealing, after all, it was a piece of flesh that fell from her body during the tenth month of pregnancy. Gao had long thought about it day and night.
"Go." Shao Shude patted the back of her hand and emphasized: "Our child." Mr. Gao's face turned red again, and he turned around and ran away in a hurry.
Shao Shude's eyes lingered on her for a long time, until she disappeared far away at the end of the corridor, and then he came back to his senses. Sooner or later, he would die on this girl's belly.
Bohai didn't waste any troops and only sent a queen to assassinate the emperor of the great country in the Central Plains. Shao Shude shook off this unlucky thought, took the big-assed Bodhisattva slave into his arms, rubbed it, and sighed
He said: "The people of Luoyang are usually very eloquent, but in the end they are not as good as the Khitans and Bohai people. I am so disappointed."
The Bodhisattva slave was already a little plump, but now she is pregnant again. She is full of flesh and is very comfortable for Shao Shude to hold.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry." Yue Liduo gently squeezed his shoulders and said, "When the Bohai Trading Company makes more and more money, everyone will know. If Annan Trading Company is planned to be established in the future, it will definitely be
Sold out."
Shao Shude nodded.
Taking out 10% of the shares of Bohai Trading Company for public sale was actually his remaining modern consciousness at work.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for these 100 shares to flow outside, and would have been digested internally long ago. The reason why he insists on doing this is because Shao Shude wants the people to share in the dividends of the expansion of the empire? Is it possible that this is true?
Do you need your money?
Just wait and see, it won't sell well this time. When Bohai Trading Company continues to make steady profits and the next time it prepares to build Annan Trading Company, someone will suggest not to sell shares to the public, and all the distinguished people will subscribe.
But he will still sell part of it. It has nothing to do with anything else. He simply wants people who have no connections to have the opportunity to share the benefits, causing greater repercussions in society, and letting ordinary people with a little knowledge know that a place is far away, even if it is far away.
It is possible to make money on the frontier, so don’t give up easily.
****
There was no scientific examination in March this year, so the scholars who had once wandered around the capital dispersed and returned home early.
Once they left, a lot of consumption was really reduced, especially for the brothel industry. If you don't go whoring, are you still a scholar? Are you still a romantic and talented person?
Another group of consumer groups who left were Wufu. Yes, a new round of defense changes in the armies has begun. You *** entered Sichuan to take over the army.
The Tiande Army and the Heishao Army headed to Hebei.
The three armies of Wuwei, Tianxiong, and Dingnan were transferred eastward and went to Liaodong Road to replace Yi Cong, Tujiang, Caiqi, and Weisheng, and the four armies came back to rest and recuperate.
The Tianxiong Army is stationed in Henan Prefecture, and half of the Yi Cong Army is also in Henan Prefecture. This suddenly reduces 30,000 to 40,000 consumer groups, and the impact on business is not small. Who makes Wu Fu like to spend money?
Shao Shude didn't care much about the feelings of the merchants. What he cared about was that after counting, he found that there was actually a shortage of troops! To be precise, there was a shortage of reliable troops.
There are more than 300,000 imperial troops in Great Xia, but they are not enough. No one would believe me if I told you.
But the fact is that the country is too big, and people in many places are not honest, so the Forbidden Army must be stationed to suppress it. In fact, to a certain extent, it is Shao Shude's own fault. Who allowed you to swallow up so much land?
This went on until early April, when Ma Yin came to Beijing, and Shao Shude immediately summoned him in Lichun Hall. Ma Yin was also sixty years old this year.
Looking at this man who was almost his contemporary, Shao Shude seemed to be reminiscing about the past.
Ma Yin sat calmly below, neither feeling restrained nor presumptuous, and very decent. "Why did Ma Qing teach me about Hunan?" Shao Shude asked.
"Your Majesty, Hunan has been recruiting people from the north to the south to escape the war. In the past thirty years, the household registration has increased significantly, but there are still many local villages. The Lei brothers in Langzhou are an example." Ma Yin thought about it for a while and replied: "
I have been in charge of Hunan for many years and have suppressed many Dongman rebellions. Now I have only one policy."
"I'm listening." Shao Shude signaled that he didn't need to be pretentious.
"It is true that the people moved to the north. When the northerners went south, they occupied more land, and the Dongmans lost one piece of land. When the strength of the Dongmans declined, they were able to organize the people into households," Ma Yin said.
"It's pretty much what I thought." Shao Shude praised, "Ma Qing is a sensible person."
In fact, it was not just the Lei brothers who were Dongman. The former Jizhou governor Peng Gan was also a Dongman, but his Chinese culture was quite profound. There were also many barbarian chiefs serving as officials in Jizhou. One of the county officials that Peng Gan once dealt with was a barbarian.
The development level of the towns in the south is really low. In the 280th year of the Tang Dynasty, it took a lot of effort to drain the swamps in the south of the Yangtze River, open up farmland from the sludge shrubs, and develop Jiangxi again. But
It has been ten years since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, and there are still many barbarian chiefs in Jiangxi. Fortunately, they are very Chinese. People like Peng Gan, who doesn't think they are Han even if others don't mention them?
Not to mention the land of the two lakes. Looking through the history books, Ezhou (Wuhan), Yuezhou (Yueyang), and Langzhou (Changde) are full of barbarians. There are many barbarians and generals under the warlords who come and go, fighting each other.
.E and Yue are like this. You can imagine what Hunan is like further south.
It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the land of the two lakes was truly developed.
Foreigners colonize by chewing off a small piece first, and then chewing another piece after digestion.
The Chinese colonization was done by first "checking in and visiting", then circled it on the map, and then spent two thousand years digesting it step by step.
Do the barbarians in Lizhou and Yazhou in central Sichuan consider themselves to be Tang people or Xia people? Obviously not. They identify themselves more as Nanzhao people, although politically they accepted the canonization of the Tang court and were hereditary native officials.
The south is a large land of violence! There are a large number of barbarians from the Qin to the Han, then to the Tang and Xia, who are all looking after themselves. The Han people, the Chinese barbarians, are killing officials here and there, fighting for power and profit. They turn a blind eye and try their best to act like nothing.
Little transparent, until the wave of reform hit them.
"Since Ma Qing has entered the court, let's settle down in Luoyang." Shao Shude said, "I keep my word and won't settle old scores, so I can rest assured."
"Your Majesty's magnanimity is rarely seen in the world, and I am impressed by it." Ma Yin looked at the emperor who was younger than him, and felt infinite emotion in his heart.
The two men had similar status when they started their careers, but Ma Yin was a bit higher because he was a general of the Fengtang Army. Unfortunately, he followed the wrong person and was severely punished by the court. It can be said that he was defeated by the last breath of kingly energy in the former Tang Dynasty.
.
Shao Shude stood on the side of the imperial court, developed silently, and finally became the leader of the East, unifying the world step by step. Things in the world are confusing, what else is there to say?
After Ma Yin withdrew, Shao Shude thought for a while.
He is aware of the situation in Hunan. Generally speaking, the people in Hunan are relatively united. This is a bad thing because it is easy to form small groups, but it is also a good thing. As long as Ma Yin is still alive and living a good life, there will be no reason for rebellion in Hunan.
.
By the time ten or eight years passed, Hunan's surrender troops had dispersed in all directions, small political groups had also developed in various geographical circles, and gradually became unfamiliar, and Ma Yin's influence also collapsed.
Of course, Shao Shude will not be willing to kill the donkey when the time comes. He still has this political credibility.
He just feels that conquering the world is not easy, and governing the world is equally difficult. In this era of violence, it is especially not easy. Considering his age, he feels something, that's all.
