Qing Dynasty: Pampering The Queen

Fourth Master sighed, called Mu Jin, rejected Jiu Master's idea, and explained their plan again.

Fourth Master and Mu Jin didn't intend to give this cement workshop to anyone, but to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

It is planned to build a national name firm, which is counted as state-owned assets. In Mu Jin's view, it is equivalent to a state-owned enterprise in later generations.

After the establishment of the firm, the core high-level managers are selected by the household department, and the household department will send people to review the accounts every year.

In addition to the current cement, Siye also plans to change all of the salt, iron, tea, and glass workshops into national name firms. Some people from Suzhou Weaving and Jiangning Weaving will also be included in it. In the future, the scope will gradually expand, such as grain, oil, Banks, sugar, textiles, timber, medicinal materials, shipping, wine, etc., maybe every industry and every industry may be involved.

At that time, a special branch will be separated from the household department to manage these national name firms.

In this way, the taxes collected every year can ensure that the national treasury is full, and the treasury is like a source of water, so there is no need to worry about drying up.

What's more, materials such as grain, salt and iron are controlled in Guozihao's business. In case there is a natural or man-made disaster, it is more convenient to control.

Instead of hoarding food like it is now, profiteers are extremely hated, but there is almost nothing they can do about it.

There are also those salt merchants, holding salt quotations, each of them is very rich, ah, since this is the case, can't this business be done by a national name company? Wouldn't it be good for this money to go directly to the treasury?

Fourth Master knew that Jiu Master was a business prodigy, and he understood many things after he said half of them.

And this matter requires his help, so he said it in detail.

Master Jiu was terrified and had a splitting headache.

It was also quite exciting to hear.

"Your Majesty, if this happens, I'm afraid that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will fry the pot! There are also salt merchants, so it will turn the world upside down." Master Jiu reminded with sincerity and kindness.

You must know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs holds the power to select the imperial merchants every year, mainly to supply the royal family with food and clothing. However, once a company has the title of imperial merchant, it will naturally get a lot of benefits in business.

After so many years, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the big merchants have long been intertwined and inseparable.

Once the fourth master's decree came out, the first one to strongly oppose it must be the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the big merchants secretly engage in affairs, it will be very troublesome. At that time, the supply in the palace may be affected.

Needless to say, the salt merchants will completely cut off their source of income.

There are also those merchants who rely on tea to make money, and they will also be chaotic.

In short, there are too many things involved here, and it is difficult to sort out the mess. It is not so easy to implement it smoothly.

Jiuye himself is considered a half-businessman, and he understands better than anyone else that Duan Ren's way of making money is like killing his parents.

You are going to "kill your parents", even if you are the emperor, people can't be polite to you!

"No hurry," Si Ye smiled, "This matter must be done. The glass workshop and cement will go first, and Suzhou Weaving and Jiangning Weaving can also be carried out. In short, until these companies take root, I will not touch the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Salt. Introduce tea."

"Old Ninth, don't talk about this matter, I also need your help. I plan to hand over the House of Internal Affairs to you, Old Ten, and Old Twelve. You are in charge, and they will help you. What do you think?"

Master Jiu opened his mouth, but couldn't close it for a while.
