Lord of the House

On March 12, Li Shuyi and Zhu Ai also entered Jiangning, while Lin Fu formally summoned Lin Tingli, Lin Mengde, Lin Xuwen, Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang, Gao Zongting, Song Fu, Sun Shangwang, Wang Chengfu, Sun Jingxuan and others to the public office. The government discussed the establishment of a colonial bank on the basis of the original household bank, and he intends to take this matter as the firmest step towards the new pattern.

In the Retreat Hall, Lin Fu changed the way of discussing matters in the past, where the master was in the center and the ministers were seated in two rows, and placed a long oval table directly in the hall, so that everyone would sit around the table to discuss matters.

This kind of change in form is beneficial to deliberation and discussion. Although it is inconsistent with tradition, the rise of Huaidong is directly related to the pragmatic style of the generals and ministers, and no one has raised any objections.

The essence of pragmatism lies in pragmatism, and it is precisely the fact that a large group of pragmatic and talented people have gathered around Lin Fu over the years, which is an important reason why Huaidong has risen and grown to create a new dynasty.

"On the military merits of Syria and the determination of public land in various places, the work is almost done," Lin Fu sat at the end of the Suiyuan long table and said, "The establishment of the Yinzhuang should also be started immediately. The new Yinzhuang is named.' Colonial merchants', I think you can understand a thing or two from it; colonizers, to make money and generate profits, to colonize goods, and to breed interest. The reward for military exploits of 400,000 generals and 5,000 generals is not simple. It's just that the principal of 12 million silver dollars is to be allocated to the Yinzhuang of the colonizers this time; the real reward for military merit must be obtained from the meaning of 'colonizers'..."

Regarding the establishment of the Zongshang Yinzhuang, Lin Fu discussed with Song Fu, Gao Zongting, Lin Mengde, and Lin Xuwen for several months. Song Fu, Lin Mengde, Lin Xuwen, and Gao Zongting naturally understood all of Lin Fu's real thoughts. in the heart.

Of course, the central finance department cannot afford 12 million silver dollars in real money to invest in the Yinzhuang of the merchants. million acres of land.

The newly established colonial merchants, Yinzhuang, will set up institutions in various places to take over these public lands, sell or lease these public lands to landless or a few tenants and farmers at low prices, collect the principal, and then recycle a large amount of principal. Invested in shipbuilding, seaport construction, Heishuiyang and Nanyang Shipping Company to support the development of the emerging factory industry and the penetration and expansion of overseas trade to obtain large profits, and then distribute these large profits in the form of money and interest on an annual basis To the meritorious generals, this is the real reward.

The development of Zhuangshang Yinzhuang and the scale and extent of future profits of Gongxun Group are directly linked to the expansion of overseas markets and trade penetration.

That is to say, the Colonial Merchant Yinzhuang will stand with the entire meritorious group of the new empire in the future, which means that Lin Fu's New Deal thinking of overseas expansion and trade penetration will be difficult to change by traditional forces.

At present, the annual trade volume with Haidong and Nanyang exceeded the scale of 2,500 taels of silver last year, and almost 20,000,000 taels of silver were huge profits in all aspects.

Among them, only about 7 million taels of silver were directly returned to the military division through various channels and included in the central finance to support the current war. More huge profits of nearly 123 million taels of silver, through various links, in many emerging workshop owners, industrial and mining owners, as well as those who control traditional raw silk, The distribution of industry forces such as tea cloth, porcelain, and sugar making—

The Dongyang Township Party, Haishang Group and Jianghuai Merchants represented by Lin, Song, Gu, Zhou and Chen are precisely the foundation of Huaidong's current strong finances and strong power. The class of rentiers is already quite different.

Taking the Lin family as an example, although Lin Fu owns a vast private estate in his own name, the land traditionally owned by the Lin family has actually been gradually converted into capital for new business operations since the Jinhai retreat. They have come from emerging industries such as yard, iron yard, coal yard, weaving yard and bank.

Among them, Lin has accumulated more than 200,000 mu of grain fields in Shanglin for several generations, as well as more than 100,000 mu of grain fields swallowed in Jinhai after the Yannan War, before and after Lin Tingli, Lin Xuwen, Lin Xulu, In the name of Lin Mengde and others, they invested more than three million taels of real gold and real silver in Huaidong Bank, Shipyard and other businesses.

Over the years, the profits have been rolling, and Lin's total assets have exceeded 10 million silver dollars.

At this time, the Lin family not only gained the status of the first family politically, but also had a solid foundation economically to ensure the status of the first family.

In the ten years of Lin Fu's rule in Huaidong, the Lin family has fundamentally transformed from a traditional business gentry force that is semi-dependent on land, semi-dependent on commerce and profit, to a relatively pure capital force dependent on emerging factories and commerce and profit.

Of course, a new dynasty can be established at any time. Once the dynasty is officially established and Lin Fu ascends the throne, the land in the world will naturally belong to the Lin family and the entire meritorious group in name. Therefore, without a powerful means and measure, it is difficult to prevent the entire group from going walk on the old road.

The so-called more powerful means and measures are not to hold down the leaders of the Lin family and the meritorious group, but to attract them with the huge benefits of the new pattern.

The so-called new pattern is nothing more than the business revolution brought about by the unified mainland market and the larger overseas colonial market, and only the continuous innovation of new technologies and the rich materials produced by emerging industries and mining can continue to flow. From the unified mainland market and overseas farmer market to obtain excess profits that far exceed the benefits of land rent.

Of course, the current profits from trade penetration in overseas markets are all given to the Dongyang Township Party, the Haishang Group, and the Jianghuai Merchants Group headed by the Lin, Song, Zhou, Chen and other families; Involve the group of meritorious individuals who shed their blood for the creation of the new empire.

The Lin clan and Song Fu and others also knew that they had to give up a portion of their interests and call for meritorious generals, especially the senior generals who mastered the army for Lin Fu, and even set up a business bank. The principal of one million silver dollars needs to be borrowed from Huaidong Bank, which does not occupy the central budget.

In terms of the current scale of trade with Haidong and Nanyang, it is really necessary to invest the principal of 12 million silver dollars in the Zhuangshang Yinzhuang, which represents the interests of the Gongxun Group, and at least 3 million silver dollars can be shared in profits every year.

Traditionally, Yuanyue's annual offerings and awards to the clan and nobles and relatives are on this scale every year.

These are the core policies of the future public government that Lin Fu and Huaidong have discussed repeatedly for several months.

Lin Fu moved Sun Shangwang, Wang Chengfu, Li Shuyi and Zhu Ai into Jiangning, not to replace anyone immediately.

Government governance will involve all aspects of the empire. After the core strategy is formulated, many extremely important emerging positions will be derived. These emerging important positions will mainly use Sun Shangwang, Wang Chengfu, Li Shuyi and Zhu Ai.

For the time being, Lin Fu will not weaken the power and status of Lin Mengde and other veteran officials, but will complete a smooth transition of the central power structure in the next few years or more than a decade, which is also a situation that everyone is happy to see.

"I thought about it for a long time, and discussed it with Song Gong and Mengde repeatedly, and decided to let Chengfu preside over the Yinzhuang," Lin Fie tapped on the table, looked at Wang Chengfu, and said, "The pressure on your shoulders is not light. Since things haven't happened yet in the colonial bank, I suggest that the Shidu envoy should give him a five-year tax holiday. After this limit, the bank will be treated the same as the Huaidong bank."

The head of the Zhuangshang Yinzhuang is an important position that is absolutely no less than the deputy envoy of Zhidu. Lin Fu will appoint Wang Chengfu to take charge of it. He will also join the political affairs and deputy envoys of Zhidu. Zhou Guangnan of Qianzhuang followed suit.

"Chengfu will live up to the entrustment of the lord..." Wang Chengfu said.

"It has nothing to do with me," Lin Fu joked. "The welfare of the five thousand meritorious generals is entrusted to you. If you screw up this matter, the military generals will naturally tear you apart..."

Everyone laughed along. Since Lin Fu was a firm step in establishing a new pattern in the establishment of a new pattern of business, it was also Lin Fu's reward to Huaidong's meritorious generals. Wang Chengfu smashed it, and it was natural that there were a lot of people who wanted to make him ugly. It was also the general Huaidong that Wang Chengfu did not dare to offend easily.

Lin Fu added: "Heishuiyang Shipping Society, I plan to split into two, and formally establish the Nanyang Shipping Society, which is specially responsible for the penetration and expansion of trade in the Nanyang and Annan regions, as well as the HNA insurance for commercial and civilian ships. Heishuiyang Shipping Society is headed by Zhou Guangdong, and is specially responsible for the penetration and control of trade in the Haidong area, as well as the insurance of commercial and civilian ships. The department is responsible, the commercial affairs are responsible to the Heishuiyang Shipping Society, and the Nanyang Shipping Society is as usual..."

Lin Fu's move was actually to directly grant the trade privileges to the Haidong and Nanyang regions to Heishuiyang and Nanyang Shipping Society, and to use these two semi-official and semi-private shipping societies to help manage overseas colonies In order to reduce the direct input of the center to overseas trade and colonization; and the huge income of the center's overseas trade and colonization will also be directly charged to these two shipping companies.

At this time, Heishuiyang Shipping Society has a total of 126 shareholders. In addition to the traditional maritime business group, it also includes Lin, Song, Chen and other families, as well as the Dongyang Township Party, which had a vision and invested money in the early days; The Nanyang Shipping Society was also established as usual, and the Zhuangshang Yinzhuang and Huaidong Qianzhuang would directly invest huge sums of money to hold shares.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the trade potential of the Nanyang region will be two to three times that of the Haidong region, which is far from being fully explored at present. Sun Shangwang is in charge of the Nanyang Shipping Society, which must have enormous power. Under the shipping society, he will also set up armed fleets in overseas areas to ensure the normal progress of trade. If necessary, he can even ask the center to transfer the Nanyang Navy to the sea to fight and open the South China Sea by force. And the trade gate of the Annam region.

In fact, Lin Fu also wants to form a pattern of overseas trade penetration and expansion, led by Huaidong Bank, Zhushang Yinzhuang, Heishuiyang Shipping Society and Nanyang Shipping Society. Only through long-term and continuous trade penetration into the vast overseas market can we provide continuous impetus and sufficient capital accumulation for the development of the burgeoning field and mining industries in the Jianghuai region~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The government meeting must also be To form customization as soon as possible," Lin Fu said, "Huaidong can have the current pattern, but also to maintain this pattern for a long time and get further innovation, except for me, it is impossible to make concerted efforts with all parties and parties. separated relationship. Therefore, the government meeting is not a simple place where seniority is discussed, but a place where various families and parties conduct consultations. At present, there are eight members from the Lin family, eight members from the Military Staff Department, eight members from the Privy Council, and one member each from Huaidong Bank, Zhushang Yinzhuang, Nanyang Shipping Society, and Heishuiyang Shipping Society. In addition, it is not realistic to directly set up the Great Craftsman School that is parallel to the Hanlin Academy. I intend to set up the Chongxueguan first under the imperial government. Fourteen people, to reward those who have made great achievements in innovative craftsmanship and prosperous miscellaneous learning; in addition to me, the three scholars from Chongxueguan are naturally councilors of the government meeting. Do you think this arrangement is good? "

Huaidong was able to rise, and finally formed a government-government pattern, together with the Lin family, the powerful Huaidong Army, the military division, the important ministers in the Privy Council and the supporting forces behind them, as well as the Huaidong Bank, Heishuiyang Ship, and The artisan groups represented by Ge Fu, Ge Siyu, Sun Dalu, Jiang Yue and others who have made outstanding contributions to Lin Fuxing's miscellaneous studies of craftsmanship have a direct and close relationship.

With the establishment of a new empire, power must naturally be distributed among these forces - this can also include all the core figures of civil servants and generals who will make outstanding contributions to the rise of Huaidong.

Chongxueguan is only an honorary institution, and Chongxueguan senior scholars will actually be the core figures in Huaidong's engineering department. The real power structure is the government meeting and military staff established under the Chongguo government. , in the Privy Council. My QT room is open!
