Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 22
"Remember what I told you about interests?"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately nodded and said: "I remember, of course I remember, I have always kept it in my heart, thinking about it!"

Liu Weichao was a little relieved when he heard it, and continued to say to Emperor Chongzhen: "If you can adjust the interests of most people to be the same as yours, then they are working hard for their own interests, which is tantamount to working hard for you!"

"To give a simple example, as far as your current court situation is concerned, if you use Xichang to massacre civil and military officials, all officials will 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 is no problem. But, you are not now!"

"Even if you can kill those officials smoothly, and there are enough officials to take over, how many important national affairs 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 carefully, and when he heard these words, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, obviously listening.

No, just listen to him ask with a sincere look: "Then what should I do?"

"Didn't you just collect 50 taels of silver?" Liu Weichao reminded him, "And I will give you the method of making glass, and you can use the 50 taels of silver as equity to build glass factories in the north and south at the same time. Dividends from the profits can bind the interests of all civil and military officials in one fell swoop."

"Ah?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect such an idea.

Liu Weichao was very patient and gave him a detailed analysis: "Once their interests are bundled, then you will not be hindered by them in the business of selling glass, and you will even get their help, so you can achieve 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, so he said with a bit of hatred: "Is this how they are cheap?""

Upon hearing this, Liu Weichao said with a smile: "Of course not. Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It's not that there will be no retribution, and the time has not yet come. They have done evil things, of course they will have to pay the price!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was very interested, and quickly asked, "How do you make them pay the price?"

"First, when you calculate the share capital, you can count them less. For example, 50 silver, only accounts for 40.00% of the total share capital, or even [-], you have the final say. They account for less, so naturally There are fewer dividends. As for this matter, for them, they thought that the money was wasted, but they didn’t expect that there would be dividends, so they would probably be happy."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded his head when he heard this, and he was quite interested and asked again: "Then what else?"

If there is a first, there must be a second.

"Second, if you have lowered the dividend, you can compensate them in other ways. For example, those who have shares can buy the glass at the ex-factory price first. As for whether they use it for themselves or sell it, it is up to them. In this way, if there are profits to be made, they will definitely care about the status of this shareholder. Maybe they will regret that they gave less money at the beginning. "

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he said unwillingly: "Isn't it cheaper for them, it means that I gave up a lot of profits?"

He needs money the most, so he is very sensitive to money.

Upon hearing this, Liu Weichao said with a smile, "No, you will even earn more from it!"

"Ah?" Emperor Chongzhen was surprised to hear it again, and quickly asked with interest, "What's the explanation for this?"

"Think about it!" Liu Weichao explained to him, "If you worry about selling things yourself, it will take time and effort, right? The selling cycle may be very long. However, if so many shareholders participate in the sale, will it be difficult? Soon. If you come to the money quickly, won't you be able to solve your urgent need for money?"

Speaking of this, he added after a pause: "In addition, this glass is only a luxury item for you for the time being, and only rich people can afford it. Therefore, it is up to them to sell it." No amount of money will 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 it, and couldn't help admiring him: "I didn't expect you to know so much, you must be from a scholarly family with a profound family background, right?"

"Ah?" Liu Weichao was taken aback by what he said, and then he couldn't help laughing.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he knew that he had made a mistake, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he was a little confused for a while.

After laughing for a while, Liu Weichao asked with a smile after he finished laughing: "Do you know my origin?"

"Did I say something wrong?" Emperor Chongzhen asked subconsciously when he heard it.

Liu Weichao nodded and replied: "Let me tell you, my family is from a peasant background. My grandfather and his father are all illiterate. My grandfather only studied for three years. My father studied for nine years. My generation is the only one who has finished education." University's."

Although Emperor Chongzhen didn't know the level of knowledge after finishing university, he could probably guess it, so he couldn't help but praise: "That's because your family is diligent in studying and working hard, so you can get what you have today! Such things are also commendable. Alas!"

This kind of thing happened occasionally in the Ming Dynasty, and it was regarded as a model.

When he said this, firstly, he really wanted to think so, and secondly, he wanted to flatter Liu Weichao to make Liu Weichao happy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Weichao smiled and shook his head again.

"Why?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but wondered when he heard it, "Could it be that I made a mistake again?"

Liu Weichao listened, and said with a smile: "This is not just like my family, but it's like this in my era. Let me tell you, our place stipulates that nine-year compulsory education, that is, everyone must study for nine years , regardless of gender, and it’s free. Only high schools and colleges have exams.”

"Ah..." Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, and exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone has to study for free for nine years, how is this possible?

He couldn't imagine it, how could this be done?

No, this must be an exaggeration!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen thought of something, and subconsciously retorted: "What about the servant, could it be that your servant is also a literate person?"

"Ah?" Liu Weichao was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, "What kind of servant? Where did you get the servant? My house is all rented, and it's a shared house. Can I afford a servant?"

Emperor Chongzhen was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He has no servants, and the house doesn't 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!"
