Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 666, a country has a home
The top floor of Wangyue Tower in Beijing, the entire top floor is a huge hall, the decoration is extremely luxurious, and it has always been a place where the really rich people in Beijing and Tianjin can go. If you spend here casually, it will cost thousands of dollars. , tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Houshou Ning~Uncle Jianchang~ here!"

"Changning Bo arrived~"

"Mr. Luggage from Four Seas Merchants is here~"

"Mr. Huizhou merchants, Mr. Feng are here~"

"Mr. Wang from Jiangnan Trading Company is here~"

"Mr. Zeng from Huguang Commercial Bank is here~"

"Mr. Zhang from Tianfu Commercial Bank is here~"

"Mr. Wang from Caiyun Textile Factory in Beijing is here~"

"..."

Accompanied by loud voices, a number of important figures in the business world of Ming Dynasty came to the scene one after another, and greeted each other with talking and laughing when they met each other.

Accompanied by the arrival of the big figures in the business world, the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower was also surprised.

We see a lot of big shots here in the capital, and the people who come to Wangyuelou to eat every day are also the dignitaries and rich people of the capital, but this time it is very, very rare for so many big shots to come here at once.

I don't know which Bodhisattva can invite so many people together. We must know that the industries controlled by these people are enough to cover all aspects of such a great Ming Dynasty.

"What the hell is this Liu Jin doing? How many people are called here? What does he want to do?"

Zhu Benduan, who came to attend the meeting on behalf of Huizhou merchants, looked at the big bosses who were full, and whispered to Feng Xiang beside him.

"I don't know, there must be something important, otherwise, I wouldn't have called everyone here in such a mobilizing manner."

"In the past, he has never called everyone over so solemnly."

Feng Xiang thought for a while and shook his head slightly.

"It seems that people from all walks of life in my Ming Dynasty are here?"

I wish this group a careful exchange of shares. Many of them are old acquaintances. Even if they don’t know each other, everyone will know each other after introducing each other. So I looked around and thought about it.

"No, think about it carefully, are there some people missing?"

Feng Xiang shook his head slightly, thought for a while and said.

"Are some people missing?"

Zhu Benduan took a closer look, then thought for a while and said: "Who is missing, even those of us who were against Liu Jin before, he invited him, who else hasn't invited?"

"Shan merchants!"

Feng Xiang said coldly.

"Shan merchants?"

After listening to it, Zhu Benduan took a closer look, and it seemed that he really didn't see a person from Shanxi merchants, so he thought for a while and said, "Could it be that these Shanxi merchants offended Liu Jin?"

"Is Liu Jin calling everyone here to deal with these Shanxi merchants?"

"I don't know, it's just that there are people from all industries and places, but the lack of Shanxi merchants makes me feel very strange."

Feng Xiang shook his head again.

"British public~"

"Duke Cheng is here~"

"The prince of Dingguo has arrived~"

"Liu Jin, Master Liu is here~"

While everyone was chatting, Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu, Liu Jin, and Xu Guangzuo walked in with smiles on their faces.

"Everyone~"

"Sorry for being late~"

Liu Jin, Zhang Mao and others greeted everyone with a smile.

"Humph~"

Shouning Marquis Zhang Yanling and Jianchang Bo Zhang Heling couldn't help snorting when they saw Liu Jin. It was this guy who collected taxes on his head and let himself be imprisoned by Emperor Hongzhi for more than half a month. almost had a major impact.

"Mr. Zhang~"

Liu Jin saw the displeasure on their faces, and greeted them with a smile.

"Liu Jin, you call everyone over here, and if you have farts, let them go as soon as possible, and we can leave after that. I'm not like you who earn tens of millions of taels a year. I have too much money and have no place to spend it, so don't drag us. Everyone."

Zhang Heling didn't give Liu Jin a good face, so he said it very loudly.

As soon as his words came out, the whole hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Liu Jin and Zhang Heling.

To be honest, Liu Jin's reform of the tax system here, and the tax arrest, really made everyone very upset, and many people were still worried about it. After all, the big bosses present here have to pay a lot of money every year. But they are not small numbers.

Now that Zhang Heling was mad at Liu Jin, everyone immediately pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Liu Jin's answer.

"Mr. Zhang, everyone~"

Liu Jin looked at the Zhang brothers, then turned around and said loudly to the crowd.

"I, Liu Jin, think that I have always been doing things for the benefit of all of us, for the common benefit of our Daming."

"I invented cement, textile machinery, ocean fishing, ocean trade, plantations, etc. Don't you make money from it?"

"I think many people know very well that if it wasn't for me, Liu Jin, everyone might still be on the original one-acre three-point land, fighting to the death and fighting for a piece of land, killing people."

What Liu Jin said obviously meant something. He was talking about the fact that the Zhang brothers once robbed Changning Bo Zhou Yu of a field and killed people.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling suddenly had a bad face.

"Look at the present, everyone. As far as Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo are concerned, the industries under your command now, if you add up all the industries, you will earn tens of millions of taels a year, just casually?"

"In the past, Mr. Zhang, can you earn one hundred thousand taels of silver a year with all the properties of your family?"

Liu Jin turned his head to look at Zhang Heling again, and asked very seriously.

"This…"

The Zhang brothers were speechless immediately.

Because what Liu Jin said was the truth, following Liu Jin's ass in the past few years, everyone has indeed made money and made a lot of money.

"These two idiots can earn tens of millions of taels a year~"

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but think so in their minds.

Who are the Zhang brothers?
They are idiots, typical representatives of no brains.

"I, Liu Jin, have a clear conscience. I always do things for the benefit of everyone. Every time I do any industry, I bring everyone to make a fortune."

"Now I am in charge of the tax reform issue. Many people also complain about it. They think that I, Liu Jin, have too much money and have nowhere to spend it, so I am here to do this."

"But have you ever thought about why I want to do this?"

Liu Jin's words also caused everyone to fall into deep thought. After thinking about it carefully, Liu Jin seemed to have a lot of meaning in doing so.

"Everyone, country, country, there is a country to have a family!"

"The imperial court has financial difficulties and the national treasury is empty. The imperial court wants to do some big things, but it is always powerless."

"Today, all of you present here have ships running on the sea, plantations and mines in Southeast Asia, fleets on the Golden Isle, and caravans on the grasslands."

"In the past, would everyone dare to go overseas to build plantations?"

"Do you dare to do business on the grassland?"

"Do you know that the Golden Continent is full of gold?"

Liu Jin kept asking questions, which also left everyone speechless. In the past, everyone was limited to Daming's one-acre-three-point land, and the most they did was to annex land. Now it's different.

As long as you have money, the most you can do is to buy ships, go to Nanyang to build plantations, open mines and so on.

"Have you ever thought about the threat of grassland people in the north of the Ming Dynasty and the rampage of pirates in the southeast coast? At the same time, due to traffic restrictions, it was very difficult for everyone to do business and travel was inconvenient."

"What's the root of all this?"

"It's because our court doesn't have money, and the court doesn't have money to support the ever-strong army, so we can't beat the prairie people, and we can't wipe out the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast, let alone go overseas to do business and make a fortune."

"Only when the imperial court has money and silver, can it organize a powerful army to sweep across the grasslands, wipe out the Jurchen ministries, open up territories, and turn the grasslands into our back garden, and then we can go to the grasslands." , Go to Liaodong to do business."

"Only when the imperial court has money can it form a powerful navy, protect our business routes in Nanyang, protect our plantations and mines in Nanyang, and occupy more in Nanyang in the future." islands and lands that allow us to build more plantations and mines."

"Because the imperial court has money, it is able to do great things. It can conquer Japan, suppress bandits, and allow our merchant ships to pass through unimpeded. Otherwise, your ship will not know whether it will come back after leaving the sea. Do you still dare to go to sea?"

"To levy taxes now is indeed giving everyone an extra sum of money~"

"But this money is also for everyone's benefit, so that we can continue to earn more money."

"With the money, the imperial court built concrete roads in various parts of Daming to facilitate the travel of business travelers from south to north. The construction of reservoirs and river lifts was also to prevent natural and man-made disasters."

"Similarly, the imperial court has money. The imperial court is carrying out military system reform and has a powerful army. By then, we will not only go to the grasslands, but we can also go west and fight to the Western Regions."

"Didn't many people complain that the price of cotton in the Western Regions is too expensive?"

"When the imperial court conquers the Western Regions, everyone can go to the Western Regions to build cotton plantations. Then the price of cotton will naturally be cheaper."

"The army of the imperial court can go north, west, and south to occupy more places and expand the territory of our Ming Dynasty. At that time, we can have a bigger market, and we can go to more places to do business and do business. trade."

"The imperial court is building a navy. Once the strength of the navy is formed, it will be able to wipe out all the pirates in the South Seas. By the way, it will also occupy more islands and countries. You don't have to fight for land to build plantations. garden."

"The world is very big. Australia, the Golden Continent, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the South Asian subcontinent. If we only rely on us businessmen, can we conquer these places?"

"Without the backing of a powerful Ming Dynasty, can we be guaranteed overseas business?"

"Everything I do is for everyone's benefit, because only a powerful Ming Dynasty is the strongest support for our overseas expansion. Without a strong country as support, once someone is jealous, who will protect our interests? ?”

"There is a country to have a family. When our Ming Dynasty is strong, we can stand upright and go out to make money. We don't have to be afraid of anything."

Liu Jin's voice was sonorous and powerful, constantly echoing in the hall.

It also caused these people present to fall into deep thought one after another.

If you think about it carefully, it really is.

If it weren't for the fact that the current Daming is extremely powerful and has cleared the way for these businessmen, they would be able to go overseas to make a fortune so smoothly?

Can you earn money that you never imagined before?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help nodding their heads, and they finally figured it out.

　The writing is a bit straightforward~~I hope I don’t complain~
