"Do you still remember what I told you about interests?"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately nodded and said: "Remember, of course I remember, I will always keep it in my heart and think about it!"
When Liu Weichao heard this, he was a little relieved and continued to say to Emperor Chongzhen: "If you can adjust the interests of most people to be the same as yours, then if they work hard for their own interests, they will be working hard for you!"
"To give a simple example, as far as your current court situation is concerned, if you use Xichang to kill all civil and military officials, it will attract all officials to oppose you. If you are in the Hongwu period, the world is peaceful and peaceful.
If your prestige is as high as Zhu Yuanzhang, then there will be no problem. But, you are not now!"
"Even if you can successfully kill those officials and have enough officials to take over, how many important national events will be delayed during the period of killing and taking over? And at this time, what do you lack, time!"
Emperor Chongzhen had been listening attentively. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, obviously he also listened.
No, I heard him ask with a sincere look on his face: "Then what should I do?"
"Didn't you just collect 500,000 taels of silver?" Liu Weichao reminded him, "And I will give you the glass-making method. You can use these 500,000 taels of silver as equity to build glass buildings in the north and south at the same time.
If we build a factory and distribute the profits as dividends, we can tie up the interests of all civil and military officials in one fell swoop.”
"Ah?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect such an idea.
Liu Weichao was very patient and gave him a detailed analysis: "Once their interests are tied up, you will not be hindered by them in selling glass, and you will even get their help, so you can get twice the result with half the effort.
"
Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and seemed to think it made sense, but he was a little unwilling to do so, so he said with a bit of hatred: "Is this how you are taking advantage of them?"
When Liu Weichao heard this, he said with a smile: "Of course not. Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds. It's not that they will not be repaid, because the time has not come yet. Of course they will have to pay the price if they have done evil things!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was very interested and asked quickly: "How to make them pay the price?"
"First, when you calculate the share capital, you can count them less. For example, five hundred thousand silver only accounts for 40% of the total share capital, or even 30%. You have the final say. They occupy
If it's less, they will naturally get less dividends. As for this matter, for them, they originally thought that the money was wasted, but they didn't expect to get dividends, so they will probably be happy."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded after hearing this, and he was more accepting of this, so he asked again with great interest: "What else is there?"
If there is a first, there must be a second.
"Second, if you keep the dividend low, you can compensate them in other ways. For example, people with shares can have priority in buying glass at the ex-factory price. As for whether they use it themselves or sell it, it's up to them.
.In this way, if there is profit to be made, they will definitely care about the identity of this shareholder. Maybe they will regret that they gave less money in the first place."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he said unwillingly: "Doesn't this give them an advantage? It means that I gave up a lot of profits, right?"
He needs money the most, so he is particularly sensitive to money.
When Liu Weichao heard this, he smiled and said: "No, you will even make more money from it!"
"Ah?" Emperor Chongzhen was surprised again and asked with interest, "What do you mean by this?"
"Think about it!" Liu Weichao explained to him, "If you worry about the sale yourself, wouldn't it be time-consuming and laborious? The sale cycle may still be very long. But if so many shareholders participate in the sale, won't it be possible?
Soon. If you get the money quickly, won’t you be able to solve your urgent need for money?”
At this point, after a pause, he added: "In addition, for you, this glass is just a luxury product for the time being, and only rich people can afford it. Therefore, you can sell it as you like.
No matter how much money you have, it will not affect the national economy and people's livelihood. Therefore, under this model, I think it is very suitable for your current situation."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and couldn't help but admire him: "I didn't expect you know so much. You must be from a scholarly family and have a profound family background, right?"
"Ah?" Liu Weichao was stunned by what he said, and then he couldn't help laughing.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he knew that something was wrong with him. However, he didn't know what was wrong. For a moment, he was a little confused.
After laughing for a while, Liu Weichao asked with a smile: "Do you know where I am from?"
"Did I make a mistake?" Emperor Chongzhen asked subconsciously after hearing this.
Liu Weichao nodded and replied: "Let me tell you, my family is from a peasant background. My grandfather, father and above are all illiterate. My grandfather has only studied for three years, and my father has studied for nine years. I am the only generation who has finished schooling."
University."
Although Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what level of knowledge he would get after going to college, he could probably guess it, so he couldn't help but praise: "That's because your family has worked hard and worked hard to achieve what they have today! Such things are also commendable.
What a shame!"
Such things occasionally happened during the Ming Dynasty and were regarded as examples.
When he said this, firstly, he really thought so, and secondly, he wanted to flatter Liu Weichao and make Liu Weichao happy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Weichao smiled and shook his head.
"What?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that I made a mistake again?"
Liu Weichao listened and said with a smile: "This is not just my family, but this is the case in my era. Let me tell you, we have a nine-year compulsory education here, that is, everyone must study for nine years.
, regardless of gender, and it is free. Only high schools and universities require examinations."
"Ah..." When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help being shocked and exclaimed.
Everyone should study for nine years for free. How is this possible?
He couldn't imagine it. How could this be done?
No, this must be an exaggeration!
Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen thought of something and subconsciously retorted: "What about the servant? Is it possible that your servant is also a literate person?"
"Ah?" Liu Weichao was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, "What kind of servant? Where did the servant come from? My house is rented and it is a shared house. Can I afford a servant?"
Emperor Chongzhen was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. He had no servants and the house did not even belong to Liu Weichao?
He didn't believe it, so he reminded: "Don't you at least have a kitchen helper? Isn't this also a servant?"
