Chapter 256: The country is strong and the country is strong

Chongzhen was originally an action-oriented person, who was engaged in sports. Nine out of ten disdainful of profound theories, and action was the most important. Evaluation of a good sports worker, "cat theory" is the prevailing, black cats and white cats, and getting the championship is a good cat, let alone Master Mao also said that practice can produce true knowledge. Speaking of the joint-stock reform of Annan, it is a bit outrageous, but there are indeed attractive things. How can you know that you have not tried it? Reforms are all "crossing the river by feeling the stones". We can also try it out, or we can find a Yangguan Avenue.

But no matter what, details determine success or failure. Since we are preparing for the joint-stock transformation of Annan, the necessary preparations are absolutely indispensable. Chongzhen issued an order to mobilize a special person to formulate the Annan joint-stock transformation plan. A group of people including Yi Guyan and Wu Jiusen rushed forward and finally came out three joint-stock transformation plans on the third day. When Chongzhen saw that it was roughly correct, he appointed Wu Jiusen and Yi Guyan as chief and deputy imperial envoy and rushed to Guangxi today. In name, the two were shareholding experts, and this was to guide Guangxi local industry and commerce to implement shareholding reform.

Wu Jiusen and Yi Guyan were halfway there when the emperor's imperial edict arrived. Of course, Zheng Zhuang's envoy arrived in Nanjing. The emperor issued an order to let Wu and Yi go to Annan immediately. The mission of the imperial edict was of course to resolve the Annan crisis.

At this time, Ruan Phoenix Lan of Guangnan Kingdom in the south could no longer stand his own territory and ran to the real wax. Zhang Kewang heard that Chameng was rich in rice and was a rich land of fish and rice, so he sent 12,000 troops to attack Chameng, and was invincible all the way. The defenders along the way fled and there was no doubt that they could capture Chameng. Speaking of which, Zhang Kewang stole a lot of women in Guangnan Kingdom, and he took over a lot of treasures. Naturally, these were to be transported to Luzon, which occupied a lot of troops. Zhang Kewang was not satisfied, so he sent 8,000 troops to wield the north to threaten the Zheng family in the north.

In fact, Zhang Xianzhong was also afraid of the Ming Dynasty, and retaining the northern part of Annan as a barrier was the most willing to see Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong did not expect that the Ruan family in Guangnan was so unstoppable and occupied Guangnan and advanced southward. In fact, Zhang Xianzhong had already formulated a strategy that Zhang Xianzhong had long formulated. It was just to prevent the Zheng family from going south to "restore the country", so he bluffed and sent troops to plunder north. Zheng Zhuang had bought some arms from the Ming Dynasty, and even bought Japanese arms, but the arms were too expensive, and Zheng Zhuang was not strong enough, so the army he bought was limited, so once the Zheng family and Zhang Xianzhong's troops fought, they were beaten to the north. Zheng Zhuang was panicked, fearing that Zhang Xianzhong's bandits would swallow his territory in one fell swoop, so he hurriedly asked for help from the Ming Dynasty.

Two young Ming people, who were imperial envoys and envoys, came to Shenglong with orders and were now grandly received by Zheng Zhuang. Although Wu Jiusen and Yi Guyan did not bring the troops of the Ming Dynasty, the two imperial envoys (when Zhang Xianzhong was in trouble, they had to pinch their noses and recognize the title of the imperial envoy) only brought some firearms, but did not bring the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty. Zheng Zhuang couldn't help but feel a little nervous. However, the two imperial envoys immediately put forward a shareholding plan, and Zheng Zhuang felt a conspiracy.

A morale beside Zheng Zhuang said with a hint of enthusiasm:

"The Ming Dynasty is known as a country of etiquette and advocates 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness'. I, Annan, also believe in Confucius and Mencius. Zheng really couldn't believe that the Ming Dynasty would take advantage of others' danger and even put forward such a ridiculous shareholding strategy! I just wanted to ask the two imperial envoys, what is the difference between this move and taking advantage of the situation and robbing!"

Wu Jiusen has always been straightforward and immediately said to the point:

"Mr. Zheng, we came to Shenglong because you sent an envoy to ask for help. We were sent by the emperor. We came with the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty. Today, we presented this policy to Lord Zheng. People around Mr. Zheng did not ask about the pros and cons of the shareholding reform of Annanxing, and did not ask about the good or bad things, so they scolded him as taking advantage of the situation and robbing him. How arbitrary! Since Lord Zheng treated the imperial envoy like this, I would immediately return to Nanjing to resume the imperial edict."

Zheng Zhuang saw that things were a little stiff at the beginning, how could this work! So he said:

"The two imperial envoys don't have to mind. Since the Ming Dynasty is determined to protect me, Annan, I don't know what the benefits of this shareholding system are. If you implement a shareholding system, can you really retreat to the enemy? You may as well solve your doubts for Zheng."

Wu and Yi then followed the preparations in advance and talked about the situation of the Ming Dynasty, which showed that the Ming Dynasty was still worried about unification and wanted to send a large army to assist Annan. Since it could not send a large army to aid, there was only another plan, so there was an Annan shareholding strategy. Then we analyzed why Zhang Xianzhong brazenly invaded Guangnan. The reason was that although Annan was nominally the Ming Dynasty, it had already acted on the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong bullied Annan and was isolated and helpless, so he invaded Guangnan without scruples. Zhang Xianzhong also knew that the Ming Dynasty was temporarily unable to send a large army to aid Annan. If Zhang Xianzhong was determined to capture Shenglong, he might be afraid that

I am afraid that the Dragon will be difficult to protect. But on the other hand, if Annan travels to the shareholding system strategy, the Ming Dynasty occupied 51% of the shares, and Zhang Xianzhong and Annan were enemies, and Zhang Xianzhong had to consider it seriously, and he would not dare to act rashly again. In theory, since the Ming Dynasty is the major shareholder of Annan, it has the responsibility to restore Guangnan for Annan. Even if it cannot be restored for a while, it is naturally no problem to restore Annan in the future when the Ming Dynasty frees up its hands. It can be predicted that as long as Annan is willing to implement the shareholding system strategy, it will not only ensure that Zhang Xianzhong is not invaded by Zhang Xianzhong at the moment, but will also be able to restore the entire Annan territory in the future. Therefore, it is said that benefits are in the present and achievements are forever.

The above is for public or private purposes. Zheng's family gained 20% of the shares out of thin air. This wealth is very important. Based on Annan's share capital of 16 million silver coins, Zheng can hold 3.2 million silver coins. Zheng Zhuang is also one of the readers of Ming Pao on weekdays. It is common for Nanjing stocks to be sold to more than ten or twenty times. Zheng Zhuang settles the score in his heart, be good! He has a wealth of at least 30 million silver coins. Originally, the King of Qingdu was self-proclaimed. It is really hard to say whether he could sit down forever with his power. After Zheng Zhuang has been in the world for a long time, he naturally knows the cruelty and ruthlessness of politics. Now he is holding the Li family and making the princes. If the Ming Dynasty dislikes him one day, it is not difficult to raise troops to oust him. Compared with

It is not a good thing to be grateful for when getting stocks that can be listed in Nanjing in the future. Since Daming has occupied 51% of the shares and has allowed himself to continue to rule, at least Daming will not deliberately make things difficult for him. It may be more stable than his current situation. Daming has not been able to sleep peacefully over the years. There are Ruan tribes in the south and Mo tribes in the north, and they are always worried about the day and the day is not safe, and they are afraid that they will lose their wealth when they wake up in a dream. In name, Annan is either from the Ming tribe or from the Li tribe. Annan's ownership can be said to have nothing to do with him. In this case, after implementing the shareholding system, on the one hand, they can justify themselves, and on the other hand, they can have huge wealth. Well, this matter is at least a good deal for him.

The Annan shareholding plan formulated by the princess was set at 8 million taels of silver, or 1,600 silver coins, and the Ming Dynasty shares were set at 51%, Li's shares were set at 21%, Zheng's shares were set at 20%, and 4% of the shares were left for Ruan and 2% of the shares were left for Mo. As for the remaining shares, they were prepared to be left for other ministers of the Li Dynasty, and the Li family and Zheng's shares were assigned to whom. This is a universal shareholding reform plan, aiming to make everyone in the Li Dynasty happy.

But immediately, Zheng Zhuang discovered a problem and asked:

"The country's name is 'Annan Shareholding Republic'. How does the word "Republic" explain?"

The name of the "Annan Share Republic" was drafted by the princess. The princess took it for granted. Before she could explain to Wu and Yi, she just focused on other matters and did not go into the name in a hurry. Now, when she saw that the word "Republic" meant, she didn't know what it meant. Both of them looked at each other, and they were a little confused. Fortunately, Yi Guyan frowned, and came up with a plan, and immediately seemed confident. He asked without answering and asked:

"I wonder if Lord Zheng has played mahjong?"

Zheng Zhuang smiled and said:

"Mahjong, I've played it. Legend has it that this was created by Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty. Zheng's surname is Zheng. He has to have some free time on weekdays and has to touch a few mahjong. Haha!"

Wu Jiusen didn't know why Yi Guyan suddenly pulled up to mahjong. He was wondering, but he only heard Yi Guyan say:

"I believe that Lord Zheng must often play mahjong with cards. This 'republic' means, as the name suggests, for example, directors play mahjong together, and they all have the opportunity to play mahjong, which means that everyone will get rich and have common prosperity."

When Zheng Zhuang heard this, it turned out that the "Republic" had such a origin, "Everyone got rich and shared prosperity", which was very auspicious, so he nodded and claimed that it was good.

The counselor who just spoke to him was talking too much:

"The rule of mahjong is to take turns to be a banker. This so-called shareholding system also seems to have the meaning of taking turns to be a banker. It seems that there is something wrong with the rotation of the banker, and the feng shui will take turns to change!"

He was obviously reminding Zheng Zhuang that this shareholding system takes turns to take over the banker. This term is yours, your ruler may be the ruler of yours, and the next term may be the ruler of yours. You have to be careful about this matter, so don’t regret it then.

Wu Jiusen thought to himself why this guy hates so much, the shareholding system seems to have a grudge against him! Yi Guyan saw that this guy didn't understand the shareholding system, and laughed and said:

"What this master said is right. There is a saying that the shareholding system takes turns to govern in terms of the term of office of the chairman of the board and the prime minister. However, as long as you are a shareholder and as long as you do not sell the stock, you will always be a shareholder, and the shareholder has the greatest power! What's more, for Master Zheng, according to this Annan shareholding reform plan, only local Annan people can serve as the chairman of the board. My Ming Dynasty is just appointing a vice chairman. In the future, the feng shui will change. It is very likely that Mr. Zheng will be the chairman of the board on which day he will transfer. Isn't this a good thing!"

Zheng Zhuang's eyes lit up. He took 20% of his shares and could turn into a large amount of money into his own stock. It can be said that the money has fallen steadily into his own bag. As for power, he can even win the position of chairman of the board in the future. As for the chairman, the real power is almost the same, but at least it is very famous in name. Hehe, a person lives his life and is at the extreme of his glory in Annan, so what else can he ask for!

Zheng Zhuang thought of the proud part, and a smile appeared on his face. He controlled his excitement and said calmly:

"Two sirs, Zheng thinks this plan from the Ming Dynasty may work. However, Zheng still has to ask my king to accept it. Please ask the two imperial envoys to rest in the inn for the time being and wait for the good news."

When Wu and Yi heard this, they knew that Zheng Zhuang had accepted the Annan joint-stock plan, and Li's family was just a formality. The Li family was a puppet controlled by Zheng Zhuang, and this plan had actually been passed.

In fact, as a puppet, Li was happy after learning about this shareholding plan. He was able to get 21% of the shares and serve as chairman of the board. It was really a pie that fell from the world, and immediately expressed his approval. For this reason, Li also said that his shares only need 20%, and the other 1% can be given to his ministers. Zheng Zhuang felt that it was inappropriate to be on par with his chairman's shares, so he finally gave them back. Li accounted for 20.1%, and 0.9% was rewarded to other ministers.

However, in just three days, Zheng Zhuang settled the Li family and the ministers and generals, and finally bargained with Wu and Yi, and the Annan shareholding reform plan was finally decided. Zheng Zhuang believed that the 16 million silver coins of silver underestimated the value of Annan, so the final share capital was set at 20 million silver coins. In addition, in response to Annan's request, Daming shares were adjusted to 50%, Li family accounted for 20.1%, Zheng accounted for 20%, and Ruan accounted for 4%. Mo family and Li family were enemies for many years. With Li family's insistence, Mo family's shares were reduced to

1%. As for other ministers, the profit sharing of 4.9% can be considered as having equal benefits and gains. In addition, in terms of listing schedule, Annan and others expressed a common wish, that is, they would go public for too long in five years. After all, they would be determined to be two years. Regarding the sale of up to 5% of the shares held by the shares each year, some people also felt that the number was too small, and finally relaxed to 10% per year. Of course, limiting the listing and circulation of 20% of the total share capital is the bottom line. With the insistence of the two imperial envoys, this article was finally passed.

Because the bottom line was set in advance, although Wu and Yi had to face the small shareholders of Annan who were eager to get rich overnight and bargained with them every day, they finally kept the bottom line. Besides, these small shareholders who got the shares were all the leaders in Annan's officialdom, and it was understandable that they were eager to cash in stocks and make some money. As soon as they became motivated, things were much easier to handle.

Once the plan is determined, with the support of the small shareholders, Annan has achieved unprecedented efficiency. The Annan Shareholding Republic was established within eight days. Li took over as chairman of the board of directors and Zheng Zhuang took over as prime minister - not called "general manager" and prime minister. As for the vice chairman and vice premier, as well as the chairman of the supervisory board, they will be temporarily vacant and will be appointed by the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as the Annan Shares Republic was established, Yi Guyan immediately sent an envoy to Zhang Kewang's troops in the name of the Ming Dynasty imperial envoy, declaring that Annan was a country controlled by the Ming Dynasty and that Zhang's troops must withdraw from Annan. Zhang Kewang pretended to be very buying the Ming Dynasty account and promised not to invade the north. Originally, Zhang Kewang just wanted to shock the Zheng family in the north, and did not intend to capture Shenglong. As for Guangnan, Zhang Kewang had nothing to do with Annan. Yi Guyan knew that this matter could only negotiate with Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Kewang could not make the decision, so he said goodbye.

At this point, the territory under the rule of the Annan Shares Republic was at least safe. As for further negotiations with Zhang Xianzhong, it is probably necessary to arrive at the 5,000 new troops of the Ming Dynasty to force Zhang Xianzhong to make concessions.

No matter what, something that seems impossible to achieve is done! There is only one explanation for this matter, that is, the country is strong and the luck is strong. In the past two years, the Ming Dynasty quickly turned from weak to strong, Megatron Quartet, and Nanjing's stocks have also been hyped up to sky-high prices, which can attract Annan's upper class to accept the shareholding system. Of course, this is also luck.
