Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 104 Inviting to Buy Army Hearts (Two in One)

Liu Dapao always believes that sending money is the best way to win people's hearts. For the vast majority of ordinary people, any grand vision, any great achievements in the world are all nonsense. Soup and busy.

With a monthly salary of [-], the development of the company is the meaning of my life, with a monthly salary of [-], I am the boss and his father.

After the news of Liu Zhongtang's stock issuance spread throughout the army, everyone's first reaction was of course that they couldn't believe it. After all, it was too exaggerated to issue stocks worth more than 600 million taels in one go.

Of course, the middle and high-ranking generals also realized that it was inappropriate to distribute such money, but the money is touching. First of all, they also want to get stocks, 300 taels of silver per piece of paper, who doesn’t want it? Ordinary soldiers get one. Surely they will get more?

Secondly, this matter cannot be hidden at all. The big leader generously donates money, who dares to stop it, if you stop it, do you still want to bring it in your team in the future?What if the people behind him accidentally shoot and kill themselves when they lead troops to fight in the future?
Soon, more than 1 soldiers from Lvying and Duke Xushun's mansion gathered in the school grounds. The small school grounds were crowded like sardine cans. Like the fire, the mid-level officers couldn't control it at all, and they didn't bother to control it. Everyone stared at the big box on the high platform with green eyes, just like wolves. When Liu Dapao came to the stage with a smile, But with a swish, it spontaneously fell silent, so quiet that everyone could clearly hear countless tense breathing sounds.

"Everyone, let me tell you about this thing first. This thing is called a stock. What is a stock? It means splitting the company's shares into many small shares. This stock is the certificate of the company's shares."

"Western Pacific is a company founded by me, the Dutch and the Portuguese. The entire Chaozhou City has been counted as the company's assets. Let me report to you that the company's current assets include Chaozhou City, which is under construction. Some of the factories in Xiamen, Macau, Kobe, Malacca, Batavia, as well as the Chaozhou Navy and the Dutch and Portuguese fleets are all assets of the company.”

"As of today, we have issued a total of 140 lots of stocks. According to today's trading price on the stock exchange, each lot of stock has reached 310 taels of silver per piece."

"Of course, the stocks I want to send to you are different from the stocks on the stock exchange. You see, the stocks on the stock exchange are green, while your stocks are red. Here, your names are printed , native place, military position, and a half jade pendant."

"Look, in addition to some necessary anti-counterfeiting means, the most important thing on this stock is this jade pendant. Every stock has it, and the other half is stored in the stock exchange, and it is taken out when trading or receiving dividends. If you put it all together, it’s true.”

"And your jade pendants are also different from ordinary stocks. You see, your detailed personal information is written on it. You keep half of it in your hand, which can replace the role of military cards."

"Your stocks have the same right to receive dividends, but they cannot be traded. Of course, it is still possible to pass them on to your children. In case of sacrifice, your stocks will automatically be transferred to your family members, and the trading restrictions will automatically Cancellation, unconditionally exchanged for ordinary shares, five years later, if you can make military achievements, you can also use military achievements to exchange stocks."

"Come on, all officers above the battalion level, bring me all your rosters, but everyone who is on the roster has stocks, but let's agree in advance that you used to drink the blood of soldiers and eat empty wages. I don’t want to pursue it, point out the problematic places in the roster, if anyone drinks soldiers’ blood in the future, I will kill them.”

"Come on, let's start the roll call now. Whoever I read the name will call out, Zhongziying, Zhang Ergou."

"arrive."

"Come up."

A veteran in his 40s walked over nervously.

"Here are the shares for you. Congratulations. From today onwards, you are a member of Westpac's shareholders."

This old Zhang was so excited that he cried: "Thank you... Thank you Zhongtang, I, Zhang, will definitely work hard in training and fighting in the future, and I will repay Master Zhongtang's kindness to the death."

"Brother Zhang, you are wrong to say that. They are all working for the company. I am the major shareholder of the company, and you are the minority shareholder of the company. There is no essential difference between you and me. You are not working hard for me. You are working hard for the company. The company belongs to me, and it belongs to you. Yes, this money will be left to your son, but if the company goes bankrupt, this stock will be a piece of waste paper, let’s go down.”

"Yes!"

"Sun Daudao."

"arrive."

"Come on, this is your stock. Congratulations. From today, you are a shareholder of Westpac."

"Thank you Zhongtang."

"Liu Wangcai"

"arrive"

"Wait a minute!"

He heard a loud shout from a distance, but it was Hao Duo who came with his Eight Banners soldiers in armor and bows.

Liu Dapao smiled and said: "Mr. Hao, come on, wait for a while, the Eight Banners are no better than Han soldiers after all, each of the green battalion has one stock, and each of you Eight Banners soldiers has three stocks."

"Liu Xun! You are so courageous, how dare you buy the hearts of the soldiers!!"

"Why did Hao Zhentai say this? The soldiers have worked hard, and they have to protect the safety of the people in my Chaozhou City. If nothing else, just say that the daily transaction volume of this stock exchange is several million taels. I will soon establish In the Chaozhou Bank, nearly ten million taels of silver have to be deposited in the treasury, so who will protect such a large amount of money?"

"To be honest, money touches people's hearts. With such money, if I were a traitor, I would also like to attack Chenghai City. Even guarding and stealing is not very new. Don't give stocks to the soldiers, I don't worry, West Pacific Other shareholders of the company are not worried either.”

"As for saying that I invited people to buy people's hearts, this is really a great injustice. They took the shares of Westpac Corporation. This matter was discussed at the general meeting of shareholders, and our shareholders discussed and approved it."

"Isn't West Pacific Company your Liu Xun's company?"

"Hao Zhentai, you praise me too much, not to mention the big and small wealthy businessmen in the company, the Dutch are the major shareholders of the company, and their stocks account for more than 60% of the total circulation. Chinese people, how can I be able to cover the sky with one hand in West Pacific Company?"

"I'm just a shareholder representative in Westpac Company. If you really want to say that I only have more than 2000 stocks in my private hands, how can you say that I am inviting people's hearts?"

"You...you...you are making unreasonable words!"

"Is it me who is making excuses, or Hao Zhentai, you are being aggressive? I don't understand. The company issued stocks to the soldiers just to have a good law and order. I hope the soldiers can protect the lives and property of the shareholders. Soldiers Take the dividends to buy some meat for your wife and children to live a good life, what is in the way, and which national law is violated?"

"Come on, go on, Liu Wangcai, come up and get the stocks."

"Don't move! Don't come up! As the commander-in-chief, I order none of you to receive stocks!"

"Hao Zhentai, issuing stock is the decision of the company's board of directors. In business, you have to abide by the rules. There are still Dutch people in this company. I have no choice. I must issue this stock."

"Liu Xun, don't pretend to be confused with me. If this stock is issued, are the officers and soldiers of Chaozhou Town still my officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty? Or are you the private army of the West Pacific Company? This is a matter of principle. Zhu Jiu Clan, Master Zhongtang, you have crossed the line!"

"The Qinghe Alliance is His Majesty's will. When the company was established, we took the entire Chaozhou Prefecture as an asset and bought it as a share capital. They were originally part of the company. Besides, the West Pacific Company is also owned by our Qing Dynasty. Western Pacific Company, why is there such a clear distinction between the private soldiers of the company and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court?"

"Okay, if you insist on saying that, then let's write to the court and ask His Majesty what he means. Your Majesty said that you can post it. I will never stop you from posting it casually, but now, you are not allowed to post it! As the commander-in-chief of Chaozhou Town, I order you not to accept stocks, and anyone who dares to accept them will be killed without mercy!"

With that said, the soldiers of the Eight Banners behind each bent their bows and set up their arrows, aiming at the Green Battalion below the stage.

Liu Dapao laughed loudly when he heard the words, and after the laugh, he suddenly turned his face straight and said: "Hao Duo, I gave you some shame, didn't I?"

"what?"

A slap across the face was mercilessly slapped on Hao Duo's face.

Liu Dapao stretched out his hand and pointed back: "Listen to me, soldiers of the Eight Banners, put down all the things in your hands and get stocks from me for a while, three for each person, the total price is close to 1000 taels Yinzi, the dividends of each stock are not less than your so-called hardcore crops, if you insist on playing tricks on me, ask these green camp soldiers to agree or not!"

As he said that, Liu Dapao waved his hand, and the low-level and even middle-level officers of the green battalion in the audience had already been infiltrated by the Heaven and Earth Society. Seeing this, they all shouted: "No! No!"

Some radical soldiers had already brought out their guns and aimed at the Eight Banners soldiers on the stage. As long as Liu Zhongtang gave an order, they would really dare to shoot and beat the Eight Banners soldiers to death here alive.

After all, the soldiers of the Eight Banners were few in number, and each one of them was really a little panicked when they saw this. Besides... they really wanted to take the three silver tickets that were said to be worth a total of 1000 taels of silver.

After a while, I heard crackling, and the bow and arrow were thrown all over the ground.

"You... you... pick it up! Pick it up!!"

Nobody moved.

"Hao Zhentai, I have already prepared this for you. Come on, here, there are a total of 300 lots. If you count 3 taels of silver per lot, it is worth [-] taels of silver."

With that said, Liu Dapao took out a small box of stocks and handed them to Hao Duo.

Hao Duo didn't appreciate it, because this matter really touched his bottom line, and it is impossible to hide such a big matter, His Majesty will definitely know that this Liu Xun dare not say that he has turned his back Now, but the self-respect of supporting soldiers is clearly revealed.

He knocked the box over with a snap, causing the stocks and jade pendants inside to roll to the ground.

"This matter, I must report to His Majesty."

"casual."

Hao Duo snorted and flicked his sleeves: "Let's go!"

As a result, none of the Eight Banners soldiers behind him followed him.

"Wow!"

Liu Dapao smiled and said, "You guys stay on the sidelines for a while, and I'll send it to you after Luying finishes hair."

Then, these soldiers of the Eight Banners really just stayed there, Hao Duo was so angry that he couldn't even speak, he stretched out a finger and trembled for a long time, and finally spit out a mouthful of blood ,gone.

After all, it was more than 1000 taels of silver!

"Come on, let's continue to issue stocks, Sun Wangcai, come and get the stocks."

…………

In this way, Liu Dapao's stocks were issued until night, and when the night was late, they lit torches. The weather in early winter was a bit cold, but the hearts of the soldiers were hot or even hot.

After distributing the Green Battalion to the Eight Banners, and the small soldiers to the officers, I recounted the roster by the way, and crossed out all the quotas that were empty-paid. They were handed over to them personally with both hands, and they also recognized the servants by the way.

It was posted until the next morning, and Liu Dapao stayed and had breakfast with everyone, sitting on the ground and talking about some nasty jokes.

When I got home, I was so tired that I couldn't move.

"Come here, where is the secretary, rub it for me, my back hurts from being so tired."

"Hey, I'm here. I know you worked hard yesterday, so I specially made chicken soup for you and bath water for you. It doesn't hurt. I'll rub it for you."

Then the two of them rubbed together on the bed in a daze. Although Liu Dapao was still a little twitchy, he couldn't bear the little Ah Qiao's initiative. If he didn't take the initiative, Mrs. Chen would be back. God knows what will happen.

Anyway, they are confused, and the two of them are also confused.

"My lord, isn't it a little too much for you to disrespect Hao Duo today? I'm afraid it's inevitable that he will add fuel and jealousy. This Wu Sangui has not rebelled for a long time. If he doesn't wait for him to rebel, the Emperor Tartar will first You have cleaned it up, so what should you do? Why don't you wait a little longer, and wait until Wu Sangui really turned against you before doing today's business?"

"It doesn't matter. As long as Kangxi is not so stupid at this juncture, as long as I don't openly fight against the flag, Kangxi will only comfort me. In troubled times, it is normal for generals with soldiers to support themselves. The most important thing is that I have to quickly pick off the character set of my loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. My Chaozhou City is located between Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi, and I have to send a signal to these two people, otherwise, if there is me In this town of Chaozhou, what should I do if people dare not rebel even if they want to?"
