There is no newspaper in Nanchu, but there is a newspaper that is publicly available.

All kinds of news were sent to the guò newspapers, and within three days, the post stations on the road and the fast boats on the sea were sent to the prefectures, villages, and towns, so that the people could know about them as soon as possible.

The canonical punishment of more than 300 convicts and the Tusi Sultan Jiabidan and others was also passed on to all parts of the country.

At the time of the execution, Shouhan locked himself in his room.

It's not that he is unwilling to face this bloody scene, nor is it that he is unwilling to open the knife to the cancer inside. Instead, he discovered an even greater hidden danger, which gradually developed and expanded on the territory of the South Central Army. If it weren't for the fact that King Qinwang of the North had found many problems when he returned this time, I was afraid that by the time he found out, it would have become out of control.

This problem is the Han Yuan firm that he single-handedly built and made great contributions to his expansion!

At first, he intended to build the Han Yuan firm into his own East India Company, but he forgot that the East India Company of any country was not in its main business scope and business scope.

The Han Yuan firm is the opposite.

This forms a dualistic structure of the two systems in Nanzhong.

One is the Nanzhong military system headed by the General's Mansion, while the other is the Han Yuan merchant system.

Although it is said that the two systems belong to Li Shouhan, but once he is not in power, will these two huge bodies clash with each other? He didn't dare to think about it.

However, during the period of leaving Nanzhong, the natural profit-seeking nature of capital has been constantly divided and expanded within the body of the Han Yuan firm.

One of the three major expeditions of Wanli, the battle of Korea. The gunpowder in the hands of the Japanese was made from saltpeter transported by the Hui merchants. This is similar to the Han Yuan firm's people selling artillery to Zheng Zhilong. Shouhan didn't want to be bombarded by his own heavy artillery when he solved Zheng Zhilong in the future.

In addition to the characteristics of the greed for profit of the Hui merchants and the Jin merchants, a more fatal feature was revealed in this major case, that is, one of the characteristics of the Donglin Party. As long as you can make a fortune, you will never pay a penny in the tax revenue of the state treasury!

At present, the Hanyuan firm is already a huge consortium with a one-stop production, supply and marketing, involving many industries such as mining, metallurgy, manufacturing, finance, shipping, commerce and trade, with tentacles ranging from tropical rainforests to the ice and snow of the Arctic Circle.

There are hundreds of thousands of people who make a living in this system!

The various types of ships that provide shipping services for this system also cover thousands of ships of various types from the Wa Kingdom, the Netherlands, Portugal, Zheng Zhilong, and the South China Army!

This system has the largest propaganda tool in its possession, Nanzhong Business Daily, with a circulation of hundreds of thousands of copies per issue!

There are people, guns, boats, cannons, mouthpieces, and tools of public opinion!

Shouhan suddenly had a cold war, and it would be someday. The profit-seeking nature of capital is owned by all owners in this system. So, will the Han Yuan Firm, a monster created by him, devour him in one bite?

And then become a leader who died young? It's like Ming Wuzong, who was able to carry a knife to cut people, died because he fell into the water and suffered from the cold?

No way! This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed! It is necessary to nip all the signs of danger in the bud!

"Big brother." Shouhan's voice was as rough and hoarse as sandpaper, and this voice made Li Peilin, who was making comments and handling opinions for the mountains of official documents, jumped.

"My lord. What's the matter? ”

"This is what happened." Shouhan asked Peilin to sit down. "It also made me see some problems in the Han Yuan firm and the Nanzhong military system. At present, the business is too large, and some of the directors and shopkeepers cannot handle it, and it is inevitable that they will be exploited by people with ulterior motives. ”

"What do you mean?" A habit that Li Peilin has developed over the years. Always ask a rhetorical question when Shouhan asks a question, while clarifying Shouhan's intentions, and at the same time buying yourself some buffer time.

"Divide the Han Yuan firm! And then restructured! Give the guys like Shanxi businessmen, according to their labor ability and work performance, and as long as the table is good, the dividends will increase! ”

Li Peilin didn't know how the Shanxi businessman gave the guys shares, but since Li Shouhan, who was the absolute owner of the Han Yuan firm, said so, he must have thought it through.

"In addition to the distribution of shares to the men and workers of the firm, the officials of various places should also be paid pensions and pensions according to their posts and positions.

In a single case, thousands of officials and principals were arrested, and hundreds of heads fell to the ground, such a loss is unbearable for Shouhan, but otherwise, if they are allowed to develop, it will inevitably take the life of the foundation carefully built by Shouhan!

"However, I can't let everyone become Hai Rui, if I can't let these people live a decent life, then they have to improve their lives by themselves with a lot of public resources and connections! That makes things even more difficult to manage! ”

After listening to Shouhan's original intention of dividing and restructuring the Han Yuan firm, and at the same time distributing incorruptible silver and pensions to officials, Li Peilin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as it's not a killing spree!"

"If the lord intends to split the Han Yuan, he must find a few people to make a living, so that he can not delay the military and civilian needs, and he must not miss the lord's major affairs."

On the seventeenth day of the ninth year of Chongzhen.

Shouhan convened the first secret meeting on the spin-off of the Han Yuan firm.

The words of a Toji Chengxuan named Huang Xin caught his attention.

"Since ancient times, goods have been like wheels, and silver has come like a tide. It can be seen that this silver thing must be placed in the most central position. Nowadays, the currency minted by our Southern Chinese Army, whether it is a silver dollar or a Tongbao, is circulated all over the country because of its fineness and exquisite casting. North to Liaodong, west to Tianzhu, Buddha Langji, east to the Wa Kingdom, are willing to collect and use. Therefore, this matter of money should be listed as the core. ”

"The subordinate is in charge of the accounts of the household department and has the right to check the accounts of all parts of the Han Yuan firm. When the subordinates checked the accounts, they found that from the head office to the subordinate branches and affiliated enterprises, there were tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of silver coins stored on the cabinet. These coins are stored in each house, and the silver coins that are spent in vain are piled up there, and it is inevitable that some people will covet them, and it is inevitable that they will be eroded and stolen. These coins add up to tens of millions of dollars! If there is such an institution that manages and stores the money in a unified manner, the trade between the various firms is only a single account. This is a move that benefits the country and the people. The general's palace also did not have to use the general's private money in order to build roads and ports without money. There is no need to mint so many silver dollars and treasures every year. ”

"Moreover, as soon as the lord ordered me to read the pipe, my subordinates had some experience, this money. It's like a soldier. Use money as soldiers. You have to make the money move, and become a so-called living soldier in the art of war, not a sluggish soldier stuck in one place! ”

This Huang Xin inadvertently said the concept of maintaining the liquidity of funds, and it seems that he is indeed a character. At the very least, you can put forward your own opinions. Shouhan nodded approvingly at him.

"Exactly! This is where the money is in charge. It's a silver number or a bank. You can discuss the name later. ”

Shouhan is clear. The significance of currency to a country is not only in the political symbol, but also in the financial and economic! Who has the right to issue money, so to speak. Whoever has mastered the country! Consider the Federal Reserve. Many US presidents have been assassinated, but I have never heard of the assassination of the chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Could it be that the character of the chairman of the Federal Reserve is so noble? So that those killers can't bear to aim their sniper rifles at his head? Wrong! Because he is the representative of the major interest groups, moving him is not equivalent to smashing the cornucopia of various consortia?!

This time, even if his children and grandchildren do not succeed in the future, and the right to issue currency is given to the government, then there must be a large number of shares of the Li family in this bank, because at present, the richest and most able to absorb gold in Nanzhong and even the whole of Asia is even if he Li Shouhan, without his funds, this bank is just an empty shell.

Huang Xin's thinking gave everyone a lot of inspiration, so you and I had a heated discussion on the matter of dividing the Han Yuan firm.

"Brother Defang, I think that the other trading workshops of Han Yuan can be divided according to their respective responsibilities and tasks according to the production, supply, marketing, transportation, etc., and then they can be carried out around your bank."

This was the beginning of the industrial restructuring of the banks.

The original coal-iron complex, Stony Brook Iron Mine, coalfield, coking plant, and iron-smelting plant, was divided into three mining groups, with mining, steel, and coking as the main business scope. The Coal and Iron Heavy Industry Group has been formed, which has become the backbone and skeleton of Shouhan's industrial system.

A series of manufacturing industries represented by the Taipingdong Arsenal, textile factory, shipyard, porcelain factory, and glass factory have also been integrated into a manufacturing group, covering industries including vehicle manufacturing, shipbuilding, tool manufacturing, and weapon manufacturing, becoming the largest gold-absorbing weapon in the hand.

Sugar factories, salt farms, chemical workshops and other factories have become the largest chemical groups because they have mastered the manufacture of refined salt, sugar, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, caustic soda, caustic soda, dyes and fertilizers.

The Nanzhong Business Daily, on the other hand, was changed to Southern Current Affairs, which was directly attributed to the General's Mansion and became the mouthpiece and public opinion tool directly controlled by Shouhan.

The Maple Ridge Shi Yàn Room and other similar research institutions were assigned to the General's Mansion and placed under the direct management of Shouhan. In a sense, this huge scientific research institution became privately owned by the Li family.

After this transformation, the Han Yuan Firm, a huge monster that once kept the Han night awake, completed the transformation from a behemoth to a large Tothra group.

With the banking and financial industry as the leader, the original enterprises are divided into three groups, each other is the inside and the outside, and the kind of thing that can be passed through with a bamboo pole to the end is absolutely impossible to happen again. At the same time, it is also conducive to cost control.

The original sales system of the Han Yuan firm was completely stripped out and became prosperous. Personally nominated by Shouhan, Li Peiting served as the general office and was stationed in Beijing as the nerve of this huge consortium. Although it does not produce anything of its own, it coordinates the relationship of the entire group.

Long Shengzhong took the Manraka Strait as the boundary, and put the business of Tianzhu, Tianfang, Francji, Lumi, and Krumus under the management of Ye Qi, who was now in Nanjing, and was stationed on Lingjiawei Island. Lin Wenbing, who opened up the trade route to the barbarians in Heilongjiang, became the deputy general office responsible for the trade of the Heilongjiang River basin and even the entire northern region to the west, covering all Mongolian ministries.

And the old fox Hu Licheng has become the purchasing manager of Longsheng. Giving full play to his characteristics of seeing people and talking about people, he is responsible for the procurement of overseas raw materials for the entire group. Li Hanting has become the leading boss of logistics and transportation in Nanzhong.

And Nanzhong Bank, because Shouhan is the largest shareholder and depositor, the general office of Natural Bank is also served by Lin Jinbao, who was nominated by him, and has become the heart of the entire consortium of Nanzhong Army, managing huge funds and accounts, and transfusing blood for its subsidiaries.

As a special institution, the Commercial Investigation Office is the only department other than the bank that still maintains the same relationship with these institutions. But his superior unit also became Ryu, however. Both the general office and the deputy general office can only understand his work. The investigation office is still directly responsible to Shouhan himself.

"Hejing Iron, the general office Su Laosi, after the split, the iron factory is only responsible for the production of finished steel. Yang Tianshi, the general office of Hejing Metallurgy, was responsible for the processing of metal smelting and steel classification after the split, and studied various special steels and fine parts according to the tasks assigned by the general's government. Feng Mofeng, the general office of Ha Jing Manufacturing. It is under the jurisdiction of Hejing Heavy Industry. It mainly produces large-scale machine parts. Such as large windmill accessories, horse-drawn carriages, hydraulic forging hammers, hydraulic lathes, artillery, plate armor, marine accessories, gun barrels and other non-civilian products, made by Hejing. It mainly produces sewing machines, looms and other civilian products. Wang Quan, General Office of Shipbuilding. Civilian and military ships are produced and manufactured here, and the arming process is completed here. Ling Zheng, the General Office of the United Chemical Industry, involves a series of chemical products such as salt production, sugar production, printing and dyeing industries, including gunpowder production, dyes, fertilizers, salt, refined sugar, hydrochloric acid, etc. Lei Mingsheng, the general office of the construction factory, is mainly responsible for the infrastructure construction of roads, bridges, ports, barracks and workshops. ”

After reading the long list, everyone was quite satisfied with the new position and business scope.

"Defang, you did a good job this time, solving a big problem for the general. Are you interested in working in the office? ”

After announcing the Hanyuan business name transformation and division meeting, Li Peilin called Huang Xin to his signing room and asked him with a smile on his face what he planned to do next.

It has always been Huang Xin's dream to be able to work in the highest authority of the General's Mansion, and he agreed without thinking about it.

"When the general heard that you were not married, that there was no one at home to take care of the housework, and that you had no sustenance in your spare time, the general ordered a few women to be selected for you and sent them to your next place. You can go back and see for yourself. According to the people in the inner house, the lady chose for you is a leader for a while, what Tianzhu orchid, Goryeo maidservant, and another princess of Fusang Daimyo, it is also a temporary choice! ”

After a series of things, I can finally calm down and take care of the New Year's affairs, looking at the happy appearance of several women who have been titled in the inner house every day, Shouhan also feels quite proud.

As the saying goes, one goes well. Just as Shouhan watched the women in the huge inner mansion like butterflies in flowers, two urgent military documents came from the east and west.

One document was a petition sent by Li Peiting, who had just returned to Beijing from Liaodong.

"Since the day his subordinates left Shenyang, it coincided with the Yellow Wolf leading troops to attack Korea. Since the second day of the lunar month, the troops invaded Korea in two ways, but for more than ten days, the troops have already arrived under the Korean royal city. ”

I don't know if this time Gai Suwen is not blessed by the spirit of the sky, or if the divine arrow is out of order, North Korea is facing the offensive of Jiannu,

With the combat effectiveness that the Korean soldiers couldn't even deal with Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town, when they saw the wolf-like Jiannu, they became the tofu scum in the eyes of Lei Gong, from the population to the grain, cloth, gold and silver, women, ginseng, and even the copper bowl.

Smoke and dust were everywhere, and the cry shook the sky. In Gyeonggi, "the top and bottom are panicked, ignorant of what they are doing, and the doctors of the capital are helping the old and the young, and crying and carrying the road." The Joseon king Yi Liang once again sent the princess, the prince and the minister's wife to Ganghwa Island for refuge, and he himself led the civil and military officials to retreat to Namhansanseong to wait for the arrival of the various Qin royal troops, and at the same time sent Choi Myeong-gil and others to the Qing camp to negotiate.

However, this is not the main content of Li Peiting's plea.

The reason for his plea was that he had stayed in the mouth of the lion for half a month, waiting for the Dolgon brothers, and traded salt, pepper and other spices, cotton cloth, and silk with them for a large amount of ginseng, copper, and other materials plundered in Korea.

The materials exchanged, together with a large number of furs and other goods he exchanged with the Dorgon brothers in Shenyang, earned nearly one million taels of silver for the Nanzhong army in Beijing and Nanjing.

Silver is a small thing. Shouhan suddenly felt that this document had arrived too timely.

He remembered the seizure of the throne between the brothers Li Hui and Li Liang. This is still because I made up for the history of North Korea in order to watch those smelly and long TV series.

Gwanghaejun Li Hui, he is the second son of the Joseon King Seonjo Li Hao. Li Hao encountered the same trouble when he established the prince as Zhu Yijun when he became the prince, that is, he liked this son, but the ministers were against the establishment of the second son. In the 23rd year of Wanli, Li Hao pre-established Li Hui as the prince, and then was rejected by the cabinet, just at this time Zhu Yijun also wanted to make Zhu Changxun the prince, so the two brothers took pity on each other.

Then in the 24th year of Wanli and the 33rd year of Wanli, North Korea twice asked for the establishment of a son. were all dismissed by the Ming Dynasty.

Later, after the death of Li Hao in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli. Li Hui took over the throne by himself, and then said that he had the right to act on state affairs and asked for canonization. As a result, both Zhu Yijun and the cabinet ignored him.

The cabinet ignored it because Li Hui was the second son, and Zhu Yijun ignored it because Li Hui dared to usurp the throne.

However, later Zhu Yijun still got through the cabinet work (it is very likely that Zhu Yijun wanted to follow the North Korean matter and put Zhu Changxun on the throne of the prince). In October of the 37th year of Wanli, Li Hui was crowned King of Joseon. However, at this time, Li Hui already complained about the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that I'm afraid of the strength of the Ming Dynasty. Dare to be angry but dare not speak.

This resentment was directly vented in the battle of Sarhu, and the Korean soldiers did not contribute to the work, and when they saw that the momentum was not good, they immediately turned home to eat kimchi Smecta.

After the Battle of Sarhu. North Korea continued to hook up with Liaodong thieves, and the wild boar skin wrote to Li Hui: North Korea uses soldiers to help Ming, I know that it is not Er's intention, and it is forced to last resort. And Ming had saved Er's troubles, so he repaid his kindness. Li Hui said that surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is the great righteousness, and it is inevitable. And with Daikin is a good neighbor, is there nothing? At the same time, I also hope to be able to defend the territory with the anti-thieves and repair the old ones.

Li Hui wanted to curry favor with both ends, but the kindness of the Ming Dynasty to North Korea was too great, after all, Zhu Yijun had the grace of reinvention to North Korea. On March 12 of the third year of the Apocalypse, Li Gui, Li Shi, Jin Zidian and others launched a coup d'état with the support of the Wang Concubine Jin (Li Hao's step-concubine, Li Hao was honored as the princess after Li Hao's death, and later became the Queen of Renmu) and the newly rising Nanren Party.

The counteroffensive of the return to the hometown regiment has always been extremely cruel, and after Li Ju ascended the throne, he began to liquidate, Li Hui's henchmen Li Erzhan and Zheng Renhong were given to death, and Li Hui himself was blinded by Li Ju burned with lime, and then exiled to Qiao Tong on Ganghwa Island.

In the face of the powerful offensive of Jiannu, which was called the "Bingzi Rebellion" by the Koreans' own historical materials, the Joseon king could only go to Huang Taeji's camp on foot to plead guilty and agree to Huang Taeji's series of conditions.

Soon after, Li Ju sent Li Hui, who had become a blind person, to Ganghwa Island to Tamna Island, which is now Jeju Island, and was confined.

And this island with an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers has been a horse breeding farm since the time of Kublai Khan!

What's even worse is that it is about the same distance from Jingshi, Jiannu, North Korea and Heilongjiang, and can be used to build a huge supply base, trade base and horse ranch!

In this way, if you go to the north to fight in the future, you don't have to think about transporting horses!

In this way, it is equivalent to a big nail wedged between North Korea, Jiannu, and the mainland!

And the paperwork sent from the west was also a big nail.

Over the years, Gonzalez, armed with the Portuguese Restoration Army, had become an armed force with nearly 10,000 combatants, reaching further west and south.

The document was sent by González, who had already occupied the Green Corner, now Dakar, the capital of the Republic of Senegal, but at this time it was only a small fishing village, and in the first 17th century it became a transit point for trade in the Atlantic triangle.

"On behalf of the Kingdom of Portugal, we have taken possession of the Cape of Good Hope, named after the great Portuguese seafaring forefathers, and made it the first Portuguese land to break free from Spanish rule, and on behalf of the Kingdom of Portugal, we present to you the two lands, as well as the island of Madagascar. In exchange for your further support from us. ”

Fiddling with the topographic map of the northern part of the island of Madagascar and the simple hydrological data of the port of Tamatave, which was sent with the paperwork, and looking at the local malachite, a precious stone known in China as green green, stone green or green langji, Shouhan suddenly felt that the weather was exceptionally good today. (To be continued......)
