Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 740: The Great Court Meeting, Appearance (3)
Revealing some of his own thoughts first can be regarded as a foreshadowing. Feng Ziying knew very well that even among northern scholars, there were still many different views.
Their background, experience, knowledge and the influence of the relatives and friends around them, as well as the interests that they and their family may be involved in, all make them have different ideas on many issues.
Squires can also become industrial and commercial aristocrats, and after making money in industry and commerce, industrial and commercial aristocrats can also fail to keep up with the changes of the times and become conservative. They return to their hometowns to purchase land and become conservative land aristocrats. Everything is possible.
, it’s just that certain trends are more obvious.
Therefore, Feng Ziying has always been unwilling to divide boundaries based on geography. Although it seems now that her supporters are mainly northern scholars and Huguang scholars, this is more because of her military exploits in Shanshan, Shaanxi, Northern China, and Liaodong.
, as well as the influence brought by vigorously promoting the opening of sea and industrial and commercial development in Northland.
In fact, the real northern squires have a very average opinion of themselves, perhaps because they can win the support of some landowners who benefit from the promotion of new actions.
On the contrary, in Jiangnan, Feng Ziying's influence is quietly penetrating and expanding.
The news coming back from Yangzhou Zhen Baochen was that thanks to the steady development of stock issuance, listing and trading on the Yangzhou Stock Exchange, more and more funds were flowing into it, the largest source of which was the salt merchant.
With the rapid development of the industrial and commercial industries in Jiangnan, Shandong and Beizhi, more and more companies have sought to issue new shares on the Yangzhou Stock Exchange in the past two years. In March this year, the listing of new shares on the Yangzhou Stock Exchange has been vigorous.
The largest enterprise stock listing - Xuzhou Liguo Iron and Steel Works issued 500,000 listed shares, with a value of eight taels of silver per share, accounting for 30% of the overall share capital.
This alone attracted a large number of scattered salt merchants and Jiangnan businessmen to rush into the market. In just three days, Liguo Steel's stock price rose from eighty taels of silver per share to fifteen and a half taels, nearly doubling.
.
You must know that this is a steel company that raised 4 million taels by listing 500,000 shares, and the total market value exceeded 12 million taels. In just three days, the market value exceeded 25 million taels, and it immediately became the Yangzhou Securities Exchange
A benchmark enterprise.
Although the stock price of Liguo Steel later fell to more than 12 taels, Liguo Steel, with a market value approaching 20 million taels, is still a well-deserved giant.
And because it is close to the largest market in Jiangnan, has abundant coal and iron resources, and has excellent canal and waterway transportation, many people are optimistic about the development prospects of Liguo Iron and Steel, and many people have even changed the idea of purchasing land as a way to preserve value.
It is a family tradition to buy shares of Liguo Steel as a family heirloom.
Liguo Steel has also announced that it will use 70% of its profits as dividends every year and will never change. This is why many people are more optimistic about holding Liguo Steel stocks.
The listing of Liguo Steel also gave Anshan Iron and Steel hope. Although Anshan Iron and Steel is definitely better than Liguo Steel in terms of resource conditions, in terms of proximity to the consumer market and transportation conditions, Anshan Iron and Steel is far behind Liguo Steel.
, but the salt merchants in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Jiangnan, who have already invested more than three million taels of silver, are more eager to see tangible benefits immediately.
If Anshan Iron and Steel can continue to make profits next year, it will also have the conditions to be listed on the Yangzhou Stock Exchange. By then, not to mention being on par with Liguo Steel, even half the market value of Liguo Steel will be enough for these businessmen.
I woke up laughing even when I fell asleep.
In four years, the three to four million taels of silver have more than doubled, and there are no annual dividends after it is put into production. Where can I find this kind of business?
It can be said that the new thing of Yangzhou Stock Exchange has greatly changed the traditional habits of Jiangnan merchants, making the tradition of purchasing land for family heirlooms gradually lose its market.
Choosing a large-scale, high-quality corporate stock for stable investment has become the new favorite of many wealthy households and officials in Jiangnan. For example, Liguo Steel has stable dividends every year, relatively stable stock prices, and is easy to sell and realize, all of which make this new thing more and more popular.
He was increasingly welcomed by people ranging from traders and footmen to wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen.
The development of this same habit also encouraged more gentry and merchants to take out the silver hidden in the cellars of their homes and invest it in the stock market. It also greatly encouraged more industrial and commercial industries to raise funds in the stock market to expand production.
, forming a virtuous cycle.
This subtle change also deeply affected the thinking of businessmen throughout Jiangnan and even Shanxi.
They will not forget who first promoted this, which also greatly increased Feng Ziying's influence in Jiangnan.
Both those investors who invested silver in the stock market and those industrialists who raised funds through the stock market are all grateful to the market pioneered by Feng Ziying.
Of course, Feng Ziying also knew very well that if the securities market could not establish a good image in its initial stage, it would easily cause a market crash and completely destroy this new thing. Therefore, from the beginning, Feng Ziying asked Bi Ziyan to strictly examine the qualifications of listed companies.
At the same time, we will strengthen the supervision and review of listed companies to ensure accountability to shareholders.
It should be said that Bi Ziyan has also implemented this very well. In the early stage, these companies basically selected the best from the best, so even if the dividends may not satisfy everyone, the income has far exceeded the investment in land and rent collection.
And at least there have been no big ups and downs in the stock price.
As the ministers arrived one after another, the number of people in the palace gradually increased.
This was the first major court meeting after the formation of the new cabinet. No matter who it was, important ministers and officials present paid special attention to it.
Although the members of the new cabinet have communicated with their respective groups and close friends and colleagues in advance, this appearance is the official announcement of the overall policy strategy of the cabinet and the areas under their respective jurisdictions, and it is also formally proposed.
For everyone to discuss and discuss on this solemn occasion.
The grand meeting is just the beginning. Later, these policies of the cabinet will be distributed to everyone. In the future, the ministers will also put forward their own suggestions and opinions on these policies orally or in writing. Criticisms, suggestions, and questions will all be raised.
Can.
This is also something new brought by Feng Ziying.
One person is short-sighted, and everyone is wise. Feng Ziying believes that cabinet ministers can communicate in advance, and then each and his staff can come up with a big framework and plan, but it should be left to colleagues to discuss, and finally work together to come up with the most complete strategy.
But once it is finalized, it will not be changed unless there are major changes, but the focus should be on supervising implementation.
With the arrival of Gu Bingqian, the entire hall finally calmed down. After a brief speech, it also marked that the meeting finally entered the substantive stage of the meeting.
First, Gu Bingqian made an overall planning vision for the next five years and one year on behalf of the cabinet.
As the chief minister, he needs to propose what the court should do in the next five years, what goals it should achieve, and what changes the entire country will have in five years. On this point, Feng Ziying took great pains to discuss and communicate with Gu Bingqian.
It can be said that in the past half month, Feng Ziying and Gu Bingqian spent more time together than with their families. Of course, this was mainly because their wives and concubines had not returned from Liaodong yet.
Feng Ziying felt that in addition to shouldering military affairs, she also successfully played the role of cabinet secretary-general, even more diligently than Gu Bingqian's large group of staff.
The work ideas of Guan Yingzhen, Huang Ruliang and Qiao Yingjia, as well as the seven departments of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, were also handed over to Gu Bingqian, and Feng Ziying helped Gu Bingqian comprehensively organize them.
This is also a new change that Feng Ziying has brought to everyone. He informed everyone one month in advance that there must be a general plan. As the head of a department, you must have a vision for the department's work in the next year and several years.
If you don't know what's in your mind, then discuss it with your staff quickly, listen to the suggestions of the people below, and you will naturally be able to come up with a rough idea. You can't wait until the first year after taking office, and you can still deal with it step by step or when something happens.
pattern.
It can be said that the new ideas and ideas that Feng Ziying keeps popping up make Gu Guan Huang Qiao and the people in the Seventh Department of the Procuratorate feel novel and upset. However, after thinking about it carefully, they have to feel that there is indeed room for reflection and improvement, and once
I tried it and found it to be of great benefit.
As Chai Ke said, we must at least determine a few goals, carefully study the means to achieve them, and then move towards the goals. As for whether they can be achieved, we can continue to make adjustments during the specific advancement process. After all, this is also a new thing.
No one has a definite decision in mind yet.
Now the three officials, Huang Qiao, have gradually adapted to Feng Ziying's role as "Cabinet Secretary-General", and are willing to communicate and discuss many matters with Feng Ziying in advance. According to Feng Ziying's own vision, after a year and a half, the basic structure of military affairs will be formed, and he
The meeting proposed a minor reorganization of the cabinet, with Sun Chengzong joining the cabinet to take charge of military affairs, and himself becoming the "Cabinet Secretary-General" and a minister.
Of course, this is just a rough idea of mine, and it has not been made public yet.
"The establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture also takes into account the changes in the current situation. The population of our country has increased dramatically in the past fifty years, the situation of densely populated areas has become more and more severe, and the problem of food for the people has become increasingly prominent. Solving the food problem has become an urgent problem
,…”
Gu Bingqian was ups and downs.
I have to say that the Mandarin with a Jiangnan accent has a bit of charm. Jiangnan scholars basically have this accent, but the accents of Nanzhi are somewhat different from those of Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Fujian.
