In Liu Jin's study in Xiahetun Liu Mansion, Changli County, Liu Jin was reading the newspaper leisurely. Recently, the Ming Dynasty has been a bit chaotic. The conservative officials and the hard-working officials in the court were quarreling. They were fighting for power and profit, and the war was going on.
continuous.
Liu Jin received a lot of letters, telegrams and the like from the capital, and many practical officials were asking Liu Jin for instructions on how to deal with it.
And Liu Jin directly replied, "Let's make trouble, let them make trouble as hard as they can."
He also had a somewhat indifferent attitude towards this. He was too lazy to care about the affairs of the government and the public and lived his own life leisurely.
The struggle between the government and the opposition is also passed down from level to level. The most direct manifestation is that both sides constantly criticize each other in newspapers. Of course, what they criticize each other is the new learning and the old learning.
"Things have gotten a bit too big. A fight is a fight. It's inappropriate for the government to get involved in the affairs between students, and it also locks up new students."
Liu Jin read the report in the newspaper that some new students were arrested and imprisoned in the Yamen. This made Liu Jin feel that this matter was going too far.
In itself, students from the old school went to the new school to make trouble. They couldn't beat anyone, and they deserved to be beaten. However, the old-school officials behind the scenes actually directly arrested, imprisoned, and participated in the students. This will inevitably lead to
Things are getting worse and worse.
"Alas, the battle between the old and the new is inevitable after all. It has been like this since ancient times."
"Okay, you can continue to make trouble. The more serious the trouble, the more serious the conflict between the old and the new will be, and the faster it will be eliminated."
Liu Jin shook his head slightly.
Liu Jin is now prepared to stay out of the matter. He does not want to get involved in the right and wrong here. He does not seek political advice if he is not in his position. What's more, the ups and downs, right and wrong here are really not that easy to handle.
.
Judging from the news received from various sources, these old-school officials are now targeting the new learning, and they have also begun to attack the officials of the practical school on the grounds of new learning.
The target of the attack was directly aimed at Liu Jin himself.
One of the biggest attack points is that Liu Jin used power for personal gain. When he was the chief minister of the cabinet, he relied on the power in his hands to serve his huge industry. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for Liu Jin to create such a huge industry and industry in such a short period of time.
Such huge wealth.
This is not only true for Liu Jin, but also for Wang Shouren. The Wang family is the representative of the textile and clothing industry in the Ming Dynasty. The Caiyun Textile Factory under his command is the largest textile factory and clothing factory in the Ming Dynasty. The clothes and cloth produced every year are sold all over the world, and the industry is huge.
, the profits are also considerable.
In addition, the same is true for the military commanders and nobles such as British Duke, Ding Guogong, Cheng Guogong, and Australian Duke. Each of them has extremely huge industries under his command, occupying the position of leader in many fields, and is the largest in related fields and industries.
Beneficiaries.
Even Zhong Fan, Li Kun and other hard-working officials each have a large number of products, factories, trading houses, etc. under their command, with huge scale and considerable profits.
These have become areas for criticism by conservative officials.
They kept talking about competing with the people for profit and abusing their power for personal gain. They pointed the finger at the hard-working officials and even warned the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation on some relevant officials.
In fact, among the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government, there is no one who has not invested in some factories, commercial banks, etc. It's just that these old-school officials started slowly and developed slowly, and are far inferior to the officials who are hard-working.
It is nothing more than taking this opportunity to gain power while competing for more benefits.
To attack opponents, it is best to directly transfer the interests and industries of Liu Jin, Wang Shouren and other hard-working men and military generals to your own hands.
Of course, these are their best wishes. The hard-working officials and the military generals in the DPRK are not just free to be slaughtered.
The conflicts between the two sides naturally continue to become more prominent and become more and more intense.
Inside a villa in Beijing.
Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, Jiang Mian, Liang Chu and other conservative officials gathered together to discuss something.
"Mr. Yang, Gong Mao, Gong Jiang, Gong Liang~"
"Of the many industries under Liu Jin's command, everyone has only seen that the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory, Tianjin Ocean Trading Company, Miyun Iron Works, arsenal and other industries are very profitable, but they do not know that among all the industries under Liu Jin's command, the real core
There is only one industry, and that is the First Bank of Ming Dynasty!"
A conservative minister stood up and explained to everyone the situation of many industries under Liu Jin's command.
"First Bank of Ming Dynasty?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately seemed very confused.
"There doesn't seem to be anything special about the First Bank of Ming Dynasty, right?"
Yang Tinghe thought for a while and said.
"Yes, this is similar to the old money banks. How can it become a core industry?"
Jiang Mian also followed suit.
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Jiang~"
"The First Bank of Ming Dynasty seems to be similar to the previous bank. It is also an ordinary industry, and it seems that the profits announced to the outside world every year are not much."
"Because you can get good interest rates by depositing money in Daming First Bank, and the interest rates for loans from Daming First Bank are not very high. There is absolutely no comparison with previous banks."
"But you may not know the significance of the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty to Liu Jin."
"Liu Jin has many industries under his command, and he can be one step ahead in all walks of life. Where does his money come from?"
"We all have some industries under our command, and we all know that this industry is big. Although it makes money, there are many ways to use money in various aspects. There is not much money in circulation."
"But Liu Jin, who owns the First Bank of Ming Dynasty, is different. He has almost endless financial support, because the money stored in the bank is equivalent to his money, and he can easily use it to invest in various industries and
Industry, enough to easily defeat all competitors."
"In addition, the banknotes issued by the First Bank of Ming Dynasty are available all over the world. Many people would rather have banknotes than cash, because banknotes are very convenient and convenient to use."
"For the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty, it can just use paper to print banknotes and get a steady stream of inexhaustible money. It doesn't have to worry about not having enough money to do whatever it wants."
"This is the basis for his ability to quickly accumulate huge wealth. Without the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how talented he is, if he does not have money in his hands, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. It is impossible for him to do it in such a short period of time.
Create such a huge industry."
The official began to analyze incessantly.
After listening to his analysis, the eyes of Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, Mao Ji, Liang Chu and others all lit up.
They have always been worried about money.
To expand the scale of the factory at home, it requires a lot of money. It also requires money to build a new factory. It also requires money to enter new industries.
The money earned by this company is always not enough for expansion and investment, which allows them to watch Liu Jin, Xu Guangzuo, Zhu Fu, Zhang Lun and others desperately expand on a large scale and seize new industrial fields.
For example, the automobile industry, petroleum industry and electric power industry are also emerging industries. They only took a few years. Originally, everyone could quickly keep up and seize the opportunities of these emerging industries to develop and grow.
However, when this industry came out, they soon and sadly discovered that they seemed to be unable to defeat people like Liu Jin and others.
Their factories are opening one after another, and the entire industry is laid out, and the money seems to be inexhaustible. It is like a mountain of gold and silver.
Relying on strong capital strength, they can often completely occupy new industries quickly, and wait until they want to start these industries.
As a result, I sadly discovered that I did not have enough money in hand to compete with them, and they could lay out a complete industrial chain.
As for myself, the money in my hands is often only enough to work in a very small field, which is only a small part of the entire huge industry chain, and the money I earn is simply incomparable.
The newly emerging industries and fields were quickly divided up. People like them could only get some soup to drink, but they couldn't even think about eating meat.
"I see, that's it, I wonder why Liu Jin and the others always seem to have endless money."
"I finally understand why the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty is trying so hard to attract depositors to save money and return interest. What's going on."
"With the support of the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty, people like Liu Jin, Zhang Lun, Xu Guangzuo and others will have endless money. Naturally, they will not be short of money for anything they do, and they will be able to become bigger and stronger."
Jiang Mian said as if he suddenly realized something.
Now I understand why Liu Jin could make a fortune quickly and become the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty.
This Liu Jin has always been neither greed nor ink, and has a clean mind. He never leaves any writings to sell calligraphy treasures, but he seems to have endless money, which people like them still can't figure out.
Now everyone finally understands where Liu Jin's silver came from.
"So I think we should join together to build a bank and learn from the Ming First Bank. While attracting depositors to deposit money, we can also issue banknotes belonging to our own bank."
"In this way, we will gradually have endless money. We will not be short of money for whatever we want to do. Only in this way can we compete with them in many fields."
"Otherwise, we will never be able to compete with them, because we simply do not have enough money to compete with them, and the interests of each industry will be taken away by them."
When everyone heard this proposal, everyone immediately became excited. It seemed that this was indeed possible. Having a bank meant having unlimited funds, and it was easy to do whatever you wanted.
