Chapter 502 If you really want to recruit Zheng's family! What should I do with his family's sea trade?
No matter how powerful the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were, they were still controlled by the imperial power. Regarding the retirement of Wang Dehua and Wang Zhixin, Zhu Youjian was very straightforward. Even in the resignation conversation, he was prepared to go through the motions and understand it hastily.
It's time. It's time for the new generation of eunuchs who have emerged in recent years to enjoy a certain political status.
In terms of retirement benefits, Zhu Youjian felt that he was right to treat them. In the old Ming Dynasty, when the eunuchs left the palace, they really had nothing. Now that people like Wang Dehua and the others retire, they still have to pay monthly wages.
They can receive a salary of nearly a hundred taels of silver until they die of old age. This money is enough for them to spend their old age in peace and contentment.
Of course, for them, this retirement salary doesn't actually mean much. They are the major shareholders and mediators of Minsheng Money Bank and Minsheng Enamel Factory. Minsheng Money Bank is currently the largest private bank in Ming Dynasty, with a year's profit
The profit of Minsheng Enamel Factory is no less than one million silver dollars, which is also astonishing, at least about two million taels of silver dollars.
In the eyes of courtiers, these two industries are representative industries where eunuchs erode national wealth. From time to time, people write letters about this matter. It is no wonder that Minsheng Bank and Minsheng Enamel Factory are numerous large enterprises even in the Ming Dynasty.
, the reason why the big eunuchs can own these two big industries is indeed because of Zhu Youjian's restructuring. From this perspective, in the entire New Deal restructuring, it is really those big eunuchs who have gained the greatest substantial benefits.
.Why can they be the biggest beneficiaries instead of the courtiers who work hard for the country? Many people are quite unbalanced in their hearts!
In the current Ming Dynasty, the Eunuch Capital Group is a force that cannot be underestimated. In addition to these two large industries, this group of people has gathered many related interest communities through loans, investments and direct operations. For example, large-scale restaurants in the capital
There are many big bosses behind the establishment who are from Eunuch Capital Group.
If they still have any objections to retiring safely with such huge vested interests, Zhu Youjian will have to talk to them.
After receiving the notice, several mine managers quickly rushed to the capital and went to the Tiangong Bureau's product exhibition hall to customize the machinery. They were very unfamiliar and surprised by the steam engine, but what was the specific use of this thing?
Without much knowledge, the emperor himself finally decided to give them the target of customizing twenty sets of related equipment before ending the product exhibition.
This year, more than a hundred steam engines will be put into actual use. Even if the task is completed, let's take your time. In Zhu Youjian's opinion, in five years, this thing can be used on a large scale in industrial and mining sites, and can be used by people in industrial and mining sites.
Realizing the huge value it contains is not a waste of time.
While Zhu Youjian was busy looking for a future for the steam engine, some surprising news came from the Navy. Zheng Zhilong actually took the initiative to contact the Navy and conveyed his willingness to submit to the imperial court to Ren Shuangyou.
The most surprising thing is that Zheng Zhilong actually proposed to send his eldest son to Beijing to meet the emperor to show his loyalty to the imperial court!
Zheng Zhilong’s eldest son? Isn’t he the famous classmate Omu! This news is a bit important. As for the story of classmate Omu, my memory before the time travel is like thunder. I must meet this person, otherwise I will be sorry for my time traveling.
trip!
"Grand Master, please arrange for someone to draft a formal edict to inform General Zheng Sen to come to Beijing to see me. The edict must be written neatly. Otherwise, when the person who delivers the edict arrives in Fuzhou, he will tell the Zheng family about me.
Orally, tell them that Zheng Sen can talk freely when he comes to Beijing this time, and no matter what the outcome of what he talks about, I promise that he will return to Fujian safely."
When Zheng Zhilong said he wanted to send Mr. Damu to the capital, it was certainly not for him to come to the capital to drink from the northwest wind. To put it bluntly, he was here to discuss the conditions for surrender and recruitment. In this case, let’s spread the matter out and tell them that first of all,
Omu-kun will never be detained when he comes to the capital. If he comes safely, he can go back safely. Secondly, the imperial court is ready to negotiate with them. Let’s talk openly and honestly when we come. Don’t be coy and hesitant about what you want to say.
.
"Your Majesty is really planning to recruit the Zheng family?" Seeing that Zhu Youjian's words were clearer, Zhou Yanru spoke directly.
"The maritime power under Zheng Zhilong cannot be underestimated. It would be a good thing if it can be used by the imperial court."
"However, the Zheng family is often a bandit or a soldier, and is capricious. Can such a person be really used by me? When they come to negotiate, they will definitely put forward a lot of conditions. I estimate that they will even bring up the idea of suppressing Fujian."
"It's okay to put forward conditions. The key is whether we can agree. The Zheng family is not that stupid. Fujian is not suitable for separatist rule. If we can put forward such conditions, I think there is no need to talk to them anymore. To be honest, I don't think so in my mind right now.
I'm thinking about how to arrange for them if we can really negotiate! The situation of the Zheng family is too special. They are not only pirates and warlords, but also a huge maritime trade group. Their annual total maritime trade volume is small.
It’s over tens of millions of silver dollars, so how to properly handle this part is the key.”
"More than ten million taels of silver? Or every year? Thief Zheng is so rich? This is a wealth that rivals the wealth of a country!"
"It is true that they can exceed tens of millions of silver dollars, but it is an exaggeration to say that they are as rich as the country. No matter how rich they are, they are just a big maritime merchant. And the reason why they are so rich is, to put it bluntly, they benefit from the Ming Dynasty.
Because of the sea ban policy and the court's excessive indifference to maritime affairs, it was able to monopolize the sea routes and reap the benefits. As long as the court's maritime trade policy is sound in the future and not as deformed as before, and it pays attention to overseas affairs, they can reap the benefits.
The good things have come to an end, and from now on I can only make money from normal business."
"Does Your Majesty plan to allow them to continue doing business at sea in the future?"
"This is natural. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not corrupt the national interests, no matter how big the businessman is, no matter how profitable the business is, I will not obstruct or covet it. It would be better if there were more big business groups like them."
