C1416 Zai Chun was not far from death? (1/2)
If Xiao Letian wanted to promote the stock market in Jiangnan, he couldn't just push things forward in Su Prefecture. Soo Prefecture, Ryukyu, Shanghai, and other places would just be the location of the trade center.
Xiao Letian's plan in the future would be to use a series of trading markets to joint-stock all the important industries in Jiangnan. The Chinese capital would have to control at least 40% of Jiangnan's shares in the future.
What he wanted was not just shares, but a huge amount of shares! If I eat 40% of your business, of course, I won't be able to influence the management of your majority shareholders. But what if I can eat 40% of the whole Jiangnan economy? Probably no one would dare to confront such a huge capital at that time!
Using the power of capital to control Jiang-Nan would allow the wealth created by Jiang-Nan economy to continuously replenish the Chinese. Furthermore, by controlling the shares, he would indirectly control countless of businesses.
The penetration of Chinese thought into the people, will take advantage of the mouth of the merchants to penetrate deeper into the hearts of the people.
If he wanted to achieve this, he had to increase the speed at which more business names could be found on the stock market. Luring money was obviously a boost to the stock market, and with Zai Chun using imperial power as a guarantee? Wouldn't that be double insurance?
Look at these fanatical citizens, it's been more than 80 years since I've seen the emperor of the Great Qing, but the loyal monarch's mind is still so stubborn. If Zai Chun were to ascend to a higher level and say, ”Jiangnan Stock Market is a good thing, you should have it!” With just that one sentence, this group of people went crazy.
The last bit of doubt the people had would disappear into thin air, and the speed of the stock market would increase by ten times or even more. This was the reason why Xiao Letian allowed him to hang his Dragon flag and reveal himself in front of the masses.
Xiang Ying sneered in his heart and thought, ”Enjoy the cheers that belongs to you! He wasn't sure if he could do it in the future! In this Great Qing Dynasty, do you know how many people there are that do not want you to get close to the common people? ”It's too many to count!”
What Xiang Ying said was not wrong at all. Not all the Emperors of the Ancient China were powerful Monarchs, and a large portion of them were very angry, especially so when they were angry at their subjects.
What do you mean? For example, the emperor was raised in a deep palace and had never come into contact with the common people. The officials of the Confucian Scholars would scold the emperor for not knowing the hardships of the people and would always say stupid things about eating minced meat.
However, if your emperor really does want to visit the people, then don't worry, these Confucian officials will jump out again and shout that the son of a thousand gold won't be able to sit still, that a gentleman won't be able to stand against a wall … He even told you that the Emperor works for the people to pay for his wealth, wasn't this how the emperor of Sui Yang's kingdom died?
Look, both sides are their reasoning. They can say whatever they want to say. If you don't listen, then you will lose your mind!
If you say, I do security measures, I will spend less do not disturb the people? Heh heh, it still won't do. They will say again, a single emperor's travel is so shabby, but it's not even comparable to a fifth-sixth rank high official travel. Isn't this undermining the authority of the royal family? No, absolutely not!
Now that the logic reached this point, it became a cycle of death. Alright, when you finally stopped daydreaming and decided to stay in the Forbidden City for the rest of your life, that shouldn't be wrong, right?
Unfortunately, the result was the same as before. Once again, you became the unconscious monarch that the Confucian Scholars spoke of who didn't know the hardships of the common people, and was always yelling about why they didn't eat meat.
Anyway, when the time comes, there will be an earthquake, a drought, a flood... This is your emperor not practicing his personal virtue. If your virtue is in a disadvantage, then you will have to give yourself a decree of sin!
When Xiao Letian explained this logic to Xiang Ying half-jokingly, Xiang Ying suddenly realized that he said something that made everyone present praise him very highly.
”Oh my god! They were using the emperor as a scapegoat! Isn't this what they call being a professional who takes the blame! ”
