Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 310 Win or Lose
When Chen Yunfu pointed out that he decided to promote the resumption of the Guangzhou Shipbuilding Department, Chen Xi and the other four were moved, and they clearly felt the sincerity given by Chen Yunfu, but Chen Xi was still a little hesitant.

That is, what if Chen Yunfu regrets later?
Anyone can do the business of the Shibo Division, it doesn't have to be the four major families. In other words, once Chen Yunfu completely splits the four masters, the imperial court can easily eradicate the four families at any time and support more loyal and obedient agents to run the Shibo Division. manage.

In this case, wouldn't they have died in vain.

Seemingly seeing the hesitation of Chen Xi and others, Chen Yunfu said frankly: "The result of the negotiation has never been a win-win or a lose-lose. In order to ensure the long-term peace and stability of Guangdong and stabilize the overall situation, neither the imperial court nor the Benfu want to see people rolling in. Blood flowed like a river.

10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands of lives is also an unbearable pain for the court, especially the children in your family are all scholars and have rich experience in various industries.

Some were engaged in business and sales, some were teaching and educating people, and some were leading troops in Guangzhou Guards. "

The faces of the four twitched.

Sure enough, Chen Yunfu knew everything.

He had known for a long time that the only trump card of the Four Families to resist was Guangzhou Wei, and since Chen Yunfu dared to speak out, it could only explain one thing, the imperial court might have already attacked Guangzhou Wei at this moment!
"The imperial court is equally reluctant to lose talents, let alone hope that Guangdong's vitality will be severely damaged, and the Shibo Division will be restored to the market, which is good for you and the imperial court.

The four companies have prospered since the opening of Tonghaiyi Road in Guangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and have a history of nearly a thousand years. No one knows how to run a shipping company better than you four.

The imperial court did not want to start from scratch and give up thousands of years of experience in vain.

Therefore, protecting the four of you is the most convenient way that Benfu can think of to achieve a win-win situation. "

Chen Yunfu said very earnestly: "Everyone is powerful, I am afraid that there are some people in the court who are close to the old, and I must know that I have only been in power for ten years, and the time is not waiting for me. I want to see Guangzhou again within ten years. The company was restored to its glory days.

I want to see millions or even tens of millions of real money lying in the treasury of the Ministry of Finance every year. "

Speaking of this, Chen Yunfu had already expressed his attitude, and the four of Chen Xi looked at each other, and they all frowned and thought deeply.

Believe it or not.

If you don't believe it, then you can see the truth. If you believe it, you can risk the lives of your family in exchange for an uncertain future.

If the Shibo Division is restored to the market and is still managed by the four major families, it will, as Chen Yunfu said, regain its glory.

"After the banquet, the four clan elders can go back and discuss it again. Think about it. I'm not in a hurry."

Chen Yunfu had to give an accurate answer without being in court, expressing his willingness to wait.

After the banquet, the four of them left, and Yang Shiqi and Chen Yunfu went back to the back house, asking worried questions while pouring tea.

"Young master, do you really plan to promote the resumption of the Guangzhou Shipbuilding Department and let the four masters continue to operate it?"

"Correct."

Chen Yunfu nodded: "Win-win is the maximization of benefits. The Guangzhou Shipping Department is built on the basis of Guangzhou's access to the sea and the barren road. The four masters have been in business for thousands of years. No one knows how to run the Guangzhou Shipping Department better than them." .

The imperial court needs taxes, a lot of taxes, so it is inseparable from the four major families.

We can't let go of the experience of thousands of years and start from scratch with a new batch of newcomers. A city collects millions of dollars in taxes every year.

One million taels of silver was enough for the imperial court to launch a military war with a scale of 100 people, and 10 million taels of silver was enough for the imperial court to support an army of 1000 in the Northern Expedition that lasted for two to three years.

Although the Northern Yuan Dynasty was wiped out, now there are two tribes, the Wala and the Tatars, and the descendants of the Jin family still exist.

These are the future enemies of the imperial court. We still have enemies in the west and southwest.

So the court needs money, a lot of money and supplies.

In addition, after the abolition of slavery, although there is no sign of a rebound, this kind of thing cannot be suppressed. Once the Shibo Division is opened, the Tianfang people will sell a large number of various barbarian slaves, who can serve as high-ranking officials. Noble domestic slaves, don't make them think about our own countrymen all day long.

Therefore, no matter which aspect is considered, Benfu must keep the four great masters, and do not use weapons. "

How to maximize the benefits is what the court needs and what the country needs.

Chen Yunfu, as the chief assistant of the cabinet of Ming Dynasty, any starting point for him must be based on this principle.

The merger of the two volumes and the reform of the tax law are the bottom line of the imperial court.

Chen Yunfu must ensure that all the policies of the court are fully implemented.

Then, the restoration of the Shibo Department to the four masters not only ensures that this policy can be implemented, but also allows the Ming Dynasty to have an additional source of vital financial and taxation. So, why not?

"Master, you are dedicated to the country."

Yang Shiqi sighed with emotion: "So, if the four families are not satisfied, then they really deserve to die."

"So, we need to put a little more pressure on them."

Chen Yunfu confessed: "Let the Jinwu Guard act faster, and find out the instigator behind it as soon as possible."

Yang Shiqi was taken aback: "Isn't the messenger behind the scenes the Four Great Masters?"

Now there are bandits everywhere in Guangzhou. If you think about it with your ass, you can know that it is the work of the four families. They deliberately did this to cause trouble for the court, so that the court would have no time to take care of the merger of the two volumes.

"Benfu is of course the four families behind it." Chen Yunfu smiled: "Benfu knows they are bandit chieftains, and they also know that Benfu knows they are bandit chieftains.

But we have to pretend not to know that the so-called behind-the-scenes find out is nothing more than a scapegoat between us. Instruct the envoy to behead, in this case, they will understand what Bensuke means. "

Yang Shiqi understood the twists and turns here, nodded immediately and said: "I will go to the Jinwu Guard tomorrow morning to explain this matter, and I will try my best to urge the Jinwu Guard to solve the case as soon as possible."

"En." Chen Yunfu nodded: "Okay, it's getting late, you go down and rest."

"Leave at the door."

Yang Shiqi bowed and left, and before leaving, he did not forget to say a word of concern: "Young master also rest earlier, take care of your body."

Chen Yunfu didn't say a word. After Yang Shiqi closed the door, he got up and walked to the window, sighing heavily.

In many things, even he, the chief minister of the cabinet, couldn't help himself and had to retreat.

The only thing he can do is to try his best to make the current situation in Guangdong develop in a good direction, and at the same time ensure that the situation in Guangzhou does not appear chaotic.

Guangzhou must not be destroyed in the flames of war!
