Chapter 413 The Activeness of Capital and Chen Xi's Boldness

"The minister (old man) pays homage to King Yu, and bows to Wanan."

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Chen Yunfu came late, Hu Sizong and Chen Xi, who had been waiting here for a long time, got up and bowed down, saying their words.

The former walked past the two of them and left a sentence with a smile.

"Bo Yuan is back, sit down quickly, and Mr. Chen, don't be too polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two thanked each other and sat down in a polite and orderly manner. They straightened their waists and looked up at Chen Yunfu. Hu Sizong spoke first.

"Your Majesty, this time I am here with Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen has recently done some important things in Guangzhou. I dare not make up my mind for a while, and I am afraid that what is said in the memorial book is not detailed enough, so I brought Mr. Chen together. Coming to Beijing from Guangzhou, I want to report to the king face to face, and invite the holy judge."

Did Chen Xi mess up something?

Chen Yunfu became a little curious, so he looked at Chen Xi with great interest, and asked with a cheerful smile: "Is that true, what major events did Mr. Chen make, which Bo Yuan can't decide, but Do you know about it?"

Chen Xi stood up and bowed to him: "Your Majesty, back then, His Majesty presided over the restoration of Guangzhou's shipping department and opened the sea, encouraged farming and mulberry, and encouraged business and industry, resulting in the prosperity of Guangdong and Hai today.

As a citizen of Guangdong, the old man is grateful for the kindness of His Majesty when he is enjoying the prosperity, and he wants to repay His kindness to His Majesty. The Guangdong Chamber of Commerce and Industry wants to be at the mercy of the Guangdong chief envoy. "

Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Chen Yunfu was startled at first, but then he was inexplicable.

Isn't this the stage and status for businessmen to participate in politics?

The businessmen in Guangzhou are now looking so high.

It has only been a few years since the sea was opened and the market resumed, and the capital has already become so active. It is true that the general public is a coup.

No wonder Hu Sizong couldn't make up his mind. This matter has far-reaching consequences. It is a century-old plan for the country.

The benefits are obvious. The establishment of the Federation of Industry and Commerce will help the country better integrate social resources, improve administrative efficiency, and speed up economic construction.

The disadvantages are also obvious. The participation of capital in politics will increase the proportion of the capital industry in the country's public power, which will easily lead to corruption in collusion between officials and businessmen. The exploitation of the common people and basic producers will deepen, resulting in irreversible wealth flowing to the top. Concentration, in layman's terms, will widen the gap between the rich and the poor in society.

This is a big matter, and it needs to be carefully considered and discussed.

Chen Yunfu scratched his head a little, should this matter be discussed at a meeting of the Military and Political Council.

Or just refute it yourself?
Chen Yunfu, who couldn't make up his mind for a while, couldn't show his confusion on his face, so he said calmly.

"Let's talk about anything else in advance."

Seeing that Chen Yunfu didn't express his position immediately, Chen Xi naturally couldn't figure out Chen Yunfu's attitude, so he felt a little unconfident in his heart, and continued to speak in a lighter tone.

"A few days ago, I saw that people from all walks of life in Guangzhou enthusiastically went to Guangzhou Bank to buy national bonds as wealth savings. It happened that the private pawn industry and credit industry were also developing rapidly, so I was inspired. I wanted to use the industry and reputation of my Chen family company as a guarantee. I wanted to issue a A debt, borrowed from the people, is used to expand the sea trade and open up business.

The profits obtained are distributed to the people according to the ratio of debts to rights, which benefits people from all walks of life in Guangzhou. "

stock!

This word popped into Chen Yunfu's mind instantly.

Taking out the profits and dividends of one's own industry to raise wealth from the civil society is not, in essence, a proper act of a listed company issuing stocks.

Good guy, Chen Xi is an old man, no wonder he can develop the Chen family so well, he is an expert in business.

The eyes are vicious enough, and the brain is bright enough.

To be able to get such inspiration from the national debt.

There is really not much difference between stocks and government bonds.

The former relies on corporate dividends, while the latter relies on the reputation of public power.

Issuing stocks is naturally an act of concentrating private wealth for his own use. No wonder Chen Xi wants to set up a federation of industry and commerce, and wants to mix up an official identity. This is to use this official identity as a guarantee, which is more convenient for him Absorb private wealth.

These two things are intertwined, and it is indeed a big cause of trouble when they are connected together, so it is no wonder that Hu Sizong dare not make up his mind.

If one fails, the Chen family will dominate in Guangzhou.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yunfu smiled at Chen Xi: "Mr. Chen is indeed a man of great insight. The two things he mentioned are very good."

A smile suddenly appeared on Chen Xi's face.

There is a door to this matter!

But then Chen Yunfu said again: "Things are good, but it's not easy to be arbitrary. Let's bring these two matters to the meeting of the Military and Political Council for discussion."

What kind of meeting is there? The meeting of the Military and Political Council, after all, is your own speech, Chen Yunfu, so you can just nod your head?

Chen Xi was anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to urge Chen Yunfu, so he could only pretend to be happy and bowed to thank him.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, let's go to rest first, and talk to Bo Yuan alone about this matter."

After sending Chen Xi away, Chen Yunfu frowned and looked at Hu Sizong: "What do you think of this?"

The latter also made a statement: "Your Majesty, this is a big matter."

"So, you just threw this hot potato to Gu."

"Well, hehe." Hu Sizong smiled shyly: "I think that the two things Chen Xi said have both advantages and disadvantages, and they are not small. If they are used well, they will benefit the country, but if they are not used, they will cause great harm to the country.

But Your Majesty has also said in many books that guide being an official, such as "Managing Politics for Officials" and "Easy to Know, Hard to Do", that we, as officials, should not hesitate because of the harm of policies, but should Boldly promote the benefits. "

"You have something to wait for Gu."

Chen Yunfu got up and sighed, and walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion, Hu Sizong hurriedly followed Ying Yuji.

"In the final analysis, the two things that Chen Xi proposed are the first time in our China for thousands of years. Without experience, the future of the three is unclear, and Gu is also afraid of causing anger and resentment, harming the people and the country."

"Your Majesty said before that our generation should always have the courage to cross the river by feeling the stones. If we don't do it, the next generation won't do it either. The two generations of the country are standing still."

Chen Yunfu immediately raised his eyebrows: "Well, you are very knowledgeable, I have not misunderstood you, you are an official."

"It's all the teachings of the king for so many years."

Walking forward with his hands behind his back, Chen Yunfu's brows were tightly knit, and now he understood Hu Sizong's intentions.

This guy is serious!
It's just that he didn't dare to do it without his own support.

"You think about it."

Chen Yunfu suddenly stopped and said: "Gu originally planned to transfer you back to Beijing. Once this matter is pushed forward, you will have to stay in Guangdong to escort you within three to five years."

This is transferred from the local government to the central government, from the alternate to the military and political academy, can Hu Sizong not be tempted?
Hu Sizong really wasn't tempted.

"I am willing."

Chen Yunfu didn't say much, and patted him on the shoulder: "The military and political academy will have a meeting tomorrow, remember to come."

Behind Yaoyao, Hu Sizong bowed to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your success."

This matter seems to have persuaded Chen Yunfu at the moment.

What Hu Sizong said is also reasonable, none of our generation has the courage to cross the river by feeling the stones, and neither will the next generation.

The two generations can't all stand still.

Let's discuss it first.
