Chapter 270 Win-win Cooperation
But when some old-fashioned Confucian ministers heard it, they had another thought, a heart-wrenching thought: Why did the emperor have such an idea, business is a cheap business, and the dignified sons of tomorrow have to go into business, this... this Is the sky about to fall?

In the history of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhengde also did similar things.But they are not really doing business, but let the maids in the palace pretend to be businessmen, and he goes to participate in the business.

Now, according to Emperor Chongzhen's intention, this is to do real business, how can this really be done?
In just a short while, someone came back to their senses.A civil servant with a beard and white hair came out and said: "Your Majesty, absolutely not! Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, how can you compete with the people for profit..."

Emperor Chongzhen had expected that someone would persuade him, but what he didn't expect was that someone jumped out as soon as he finished speaking.

To be honest, it is really impossible for the emperor to participate in business.After all, the emperor has unlimited power. If he is in business, who can compete with him for business, and the national policy is still formulated by him, so no matter what he does, he will win!

This thought flashed in Emperor Chongzhen's mind, and immediately interrupted the old minister's words, and said loudly: "Why are you so excited, I haven't finished talking yet!"

The courtiers who jumped out were mentally prepared, waiting for the emperor to deny the advice, and then he would advise again.Unexpectedly, when the emperor opened his mouth, he said something like this, which immediately made him open his mouth and stay there.

The first assistant, Wen Tiren, can be said to be the loyal secretary of Emperor Chongzhen, and everything is done with the emperor as the leader.Seeing this, he immediately reprimanded him: "You are still so impulsive at such an advanced age, step back and listen to His Majesty's speech, and don't be rude in front of the emperor again!"

The veteran couldn't help but blushed, feeling that his passion had been exhausted, and he had no choice but to plead guilty and return to the queue.

With such an example, the other courtiers, no matter what their thoughts were, did not dare to express their opinions casually. They just waited for the emperor to finish speaking first, and waited for other colleagues to jump out and wade through the water first.

Emperor Chongzhen became quiet again when he saw the bottom, and he said again: "This Daming Royal Cement Company, I plan to divide it into several shares. Among them, I will use the cement formula as a shareholding, accounting for 50.00% of the shares, and the other 40.00% of the shares. When it comes out for auction, it will be sold one share at a time, and the one with the highest price will get it. Afterwards, all the holders of the cement will receive annual dividends from the proceeds from the sale of cement.”

At this time, non-governmental commercial firms and the like have long been talking about dry stocks, so those people in the palace can basically understand the operation method of the Daming Royal Cement Company that the emperor said.

Especially those courtiers with more flexible minds realized that the Daming Royal Cement Company would be a real gold mountain, and it would be inexhaustible.At this moment, the eyes of these courtiers suddenly shone with greed, even if Emperor Chongzhen on the throne didn't deliberately observe, he could see it clearly.

But some courtiers listened to it, such as the one who was blushing just now. After hearing this, they felt that what they understood before was not a problem, and they were immediately full of fighting spirit, ready to persuade again.It's just that he learned the first lesson, so he's going to wait.

After scanning the responses below, Emperor Chongzhen announced again: "The 50.00% of the shares I obtained will be split into seven shares, which belong to the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Punishment, Ministry of War, Ministry of Households and the Inner Palace. All are state-owned shares. The dividends are used for the six ministries and the inner palace.”

Hearing this, the officials below immediately exploded.They discussed one by one, and shared their opinions with their colleagues.Even the old minister who was full of fighting spirit just now was no exception, completely forgetting what he was going to do before.

What the emperor meant, that is to say, that the gold and silver mines of cement should be shared by everyone. If this is the case, then everyone will be happy, and no one will have trouble with money, right?
Even some radical colleagues around the old minister pointed to his nose and whispered to him one by one, if you dare to commit a crime and object, you will be beaten to death, you old bastard!

Seeing the faces of most of the courtiers below, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help shaking his head, and immediately coughed.

When the courtiers heard the emperor's movement again, they immediately shut up.They all bowed down to face the emperor, respecting as much as they wanted.

I only heard Emperor Chongzhen become a little more serious, and said seriously: "However, cement is an important strategic material related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and it will be the most widely demanded material in the Ming Dynasty. More sales is the principle."

Hearing this, the courtiers couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, how much money will be lost!But they are not fools, and soon understand that as long as the cement is profitable, it is still a steady stream of gold and silver.

And this price control made those old and prudent courtiers nod secretly. It seems that the emperor really cares about the people and is a good emperor!

In this way, Daming Royal Cement Company basically set the tone. Emperor Chongzhen announced that three days later, the company's shares would be auctioned.The original shares are set at [-] shares.The reason why there are more is to allow as many people as possible to participate.

If the auction time is set to be longer, so that everyone in Daming knows about this, and if they come to the capital again, the price per share is estimated to be even higher.However, due to some unexplainable reasons, Emperor Chongzhen finally chose to start the auction of shares three days later.

This court meeting is considered to be the most special one since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Regardless of the size of the officials, regardless of their civil or military affiliation, everyone is happy to leave the court.But they also seemed to be very busy, as soon as they left the palace gate, they left in a hurry.

Emperor Chongzhen could not help but secretly despise Wang Chengen's gossip about those courtiers' statements. This is just the beginning. After three days, I still have another trick to use, so you can just wait and have fun!
Word spread as the officials hurried home.Immediately, people from all walks of life began to mobilize funds one after another, and even a lot of materials were sold at a low price, just to gather as much funds as possible so that as many shares as possible could be auctioned.

No one is a fool, the shares of Daming Royal Cement Company are basically a family heirloom, or a cornucopia.As long as the family has one share, no matter what the situation is, they will have confidence in their hearts.It can even be said that with this share in hand, it is better than the previous heirloom fields.

"Come on, come on, don't miss it when you pass by, the ancestral Jade Blood Sword, only 50 taels of silver."

"The prosperous shop is transferred, [-]% off for a low price, buy it quickly, don't miss it!"

"Guest officer, come, come, the slave's house is discounted today, half price, come and have fun!"
