Chapter 212 Who is Shui Youxiu? (Please subscribe!!)
"Of course it is the Ming Dynasty, the Chief Secretary of Northern Zhili, Mr. Ouyang and the royal family. Logically speaking, Mr. Ma, as the boss of Majia Trading Company, was kicked out after the reform. In order to compensate Mr. Ma, Mr. Ouyang thought it was also Mr. Ma should be included as a shareholder, but the Ming Dynasty State-owned Edible Oil Production Group is already a court official. If a businessman appears in the shareholder list, it will be difficult for the court officials to pass, so it is recommended that Mr. Ma be the first official. He serves as the general manager of the Ming Dynasty State-owned Edible Oil Production Group, and is a casual official of the second rank."
Shui Youxiu said slowly.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face froze.
We are not qualified to be a shareholder, but you, Ouyang Lun, are?
Do you think the court officials won’t have any objections when they see you as one of the shareholders?
I suggest you let me be the general manager of the second grade, you are quite a nice person!Did we do it by the official?
Zhu Yuanzhang was muttering in his heart and was so depressed that he could not speak.
"Mr. Shui, I have another question. Many ministers in the court have submitted a list of oil dealers. How should this be handled?" Zhu Biao asked respectfully.
Although Zhu Biao knew that Shui Youxiu's remarks just now came from Ouyang Lun's mouth, he was able to understand Ouyang Lun's thoughts and explain them to their father and son in an easy-to-understand manner. This in itself shows that the man in front of him named Shui Youxiu The handsome old man is no ordinary person!
Only then did Zhu Biao realize why his fourth brother-in-law Ouyang Lun chose to send Shui Youxiu. If he had written a letter or someone else had sent him, he and Zhu Yuanzhang would have been completely confused.
Shui Youxiu smiled slightly, "Just accept the list of oil dealers and issue a 'Personal Rapeseed Oil Trading Permit' to each of them, right? After all, the minister's relatives and friends are all from Ming Dynasty." We should not exclude the common people just because of this. They should be treated equally and everyone can make money together. It’s just that you can make small money, but you can’t make big money.”
"The above are also what my Mr. Ouyang said, and they are the exact words!"
"I understand!" Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, "Anyone who meets the requirements of our Ming Dynasty can sell rapeseed oil. In this way, the profits from the sales will not be taken away by a few people, but will be shared among the majority of people. In hand."
"The ministers' idea of making huge profits like the salt merchants will be self-defeating, and they still chew up the coptis and swallow it in their own stomachs!"
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded secretly. If it weren't for Shui Youxiu's reminder, he would not have thought of this.
From this point of view, Ouyang Lun's method is indeed perfect.
"Sometimes I wonder if Ouyang Lun is really the reincarnation of a god. He can always come up with many ways that ordinary people can't think of."
“No matter how difficult the problem is, we can solve it.”
"He passed the test this time!"
Although he was scolded twice by Ouyang Lun, he was not scolded by Ouyang Lun. His resistance was already fully charged.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Shui Youxiu and said, "You have nothing else to do. Go back and report to Ouyang Lun."
"Yes."
Shui Youxiu handed over his hand and was ready to leave.
"and many more."
Just when Shui Youxiu was about to walk out of the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded again, "Remember what to say and what not to say, otherwise I won't spare your life like last time!"
Hearing this, Shui Youxiu trembled all over and whispered: "I understand."
After saying that, Shui Youxiu left quickly.
As the third person in the hall, Zhu Biao naturally saw this scene and asked curiously: "Father, you seem to know this Mr. Shui."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled evilly, "We didn't remember who he was at first, so we just tested him specially, and his reaction made us sure."
"Who is he?"
Zhu Biao asked quickly.
"It doesn't matter who a person has withdrawn from history. Let's just talk about why Ouyang Lun is so good at business. He must have played a big role in it."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Biao'er."
"My son is here."
"Tomorrow you write to Ouyang Lun and tell him that the Ming Emperor is very satisfied with his suggestions and it won't be long before the court will carry out reforms in accordance with his suggestions!"
"Yes! Father." Zhu Biao nodded, "Father, you won't embarrass Mr. Shui, right?"
"Are we that kind of people?" Zhu Yuanzhang pouted and said, "In addition, you should also learn about the salt industry during this period. If the reform of the oil industry is successful, you can also rectify the salt industry."
"I understand." Zhu Biao nodded and then stepped back.
After Zhu Biao left, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly darkened, "Go and call Jiang Yu."
"His Majesty."
Jiang Wei arrived at the hall as quickly as possible.
"The steward Shui Youxiu next to Ouyang Lun was disrespectful to me just now in the main hall. Please take someone to teach him a lesson." Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, are you going to kill him directly?" Jiang Wei asked.
"Put on a linen bag and give it a good beating, just don't kill anyone." Zhu Yuanzhang warned.
"Yes, I understand." Jiang Wei nodded and decisively turned around to make arrangements.
After getting Ouyang Lun's advice.
In the morning of the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang slightly improved the plan and said it in front of all the civil and military officials.
The "Daming Oil Division" was established to be responsible for the production of rapeseed oil.
Establish an "individual rapeseed oil trading license", and only people with a license can sell rapeseed oil.
Civil and military officials, especially Li Shanchang, Lu Chang, and Song Lian, were quite shocked after hearing this method. They could not find any problems with this method, but they just felt that there was something in it that they had not figured out.
No problem could be seen at the scene, and Zhu Yuanzhang made the decision himself, so they had no choice but to hold their noses and admit it.
Only one person mentioned why Ouyang Lun should be made a shareholder of the 'Da Ming Oil Company', but they were suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding.
Just kidding, although Zhu Yuanzhang himself was very dissatisfied with Ouyang Lun as a shareholder of the 'Da Ming Oil Company', and his shareholding ratio was higher than that of the royal family, but if Ouyang Lun was excluded, where did the rapeseed seeds and technology come from?
Are you going to let the ministers in the court who only know how to shout "the emperor does not strive for the interests of the people" do it?
Zhu Yuanzhang knew deeply that if Ouyang Lun had not participated in this matter, then the "Da Ming Oil Company" and "rapeseed oil" would all be castles in the the officials didn't know was that this method was also thought up by Ouyang Lun. These alone were enough to make Ouyang Lun the third largest shareholder outside the imperial court and Beizhili.
In the eyes of all the officials, His Majesty the Emperor treated Ouyang Lun, the consort of the fourth princess, as if he were his own son!
It seems that in the future, we have to have a good relationship with the consort Ouyang Lun. Unexpectedly, the more corrupt Ouyang Lun is, the more his official position will rise. Officials who are good friends with Ouyang Lun will become more and more prosperous!
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what these civil and military officials were thinking. If he knew, he would definitely be very angry. He wanted to cut Ouyang Lun into pieces and treat Ouyang Lun as his own son. He was completely forced to do so.
Rapeseed oil is a new thing that has just exploded. The reform plan will not touch too many interest groups. On the surface, the biggest loss is Zhu Yuanzhang's Majia Trading Company. After all, the original monopoly of rapeseed oil sales business is completely owned. The 'Individual Rapeseed Oil Trading License' was replaced by the common people.
But in fact, through the royal family's investment in the 'Da Ming Oil Company' and enjoying annual dividends, the losses have been recovered, and it is still open and aboveboard, and there is no need to worry about being picked on by the ministers of the DPRK and China.
As for Ouyang Lun, let alone losses. In the past, Ma's Trading Company was private. Although the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was behind him, it could not be brought to the forefront. Moreover, if Ma's Trading Company created some yin and yang ledgers, it could completely encroach on what it should have been. Ouyang Lun's interests have now established the 'Da Ming Oil Company', and arranged for court officials to be responsible for management. The accounts are kept in public accounts, and the cost of falsifying the accounts has skyrocketed, and the liability is huge!
Therefore, even if the shareholding ratio decreases, the market will be large, and Ouyang Lun's income will increase.
The list of oil dealers submitted by Li Shanchang and other ministers was not wasted. With a stroke of Zhu Yuanzhang's pen, the people on the list obtained the first batch of 'personal rapeseed oil trading licenses'!
Under Zhu Yuanzhang's strong promotion, rapeseed oil reform was advancing steadily.
With the establishment of the Daming Oil Division, all officials transferred to the Daming Oil Division must be sent to Beizhili for training. After passing various assessments in Beizhili, they will be sent to various provinces to take up posts.
North Zhili.
Peiping.
Chief Secretary Yamen.
Ouyang Lun was listening to Shui Youxiu report to him.
"Haha, Lao Shui, did you really say what I said to Uncle Ma exactly the same way?" Ouyang Lun asked with a smile.
Shui Youxiu nodded, "Master Ma himself asked me to speak the same way as you speak."
"With Uncle Ma's fiery temper, he didn't kick you out, so you're pretty good." Ouyang Lun smiled, and then asked rather puzzledly: "But what's the matter with the injury on your face? Is that possible? Was he beaten by Uncle Ma?"
Shui Youxiu shook his head, "Master Ma didn't do anything to me. I left the palace and was about to rush back to Peking when I was beaten up by a group of masked men in black clothes who put them in linen bags. However, the other party seemed to just want to Teach me a lesson, you don’t mean to kill me.”
"Hessian bag. This method seems familiar!" Ouyang Lun muttered.
"No matter what, you completed the mission very well this time, and you were also injured. Go to the accounting office to collect the reward of 1 taels of silver. In addition, I will give you a few more days off. You can go there if you want to go. , heal the injury completely!"
Hearing this, Shui Youxiu suddenly knelt down to Ouyang Lun, "Thank you, sir!"
"Lao Shui, what do you mean? Get up quickly." Ouyang Lun was also confused by the sudden kneeling.
"Master, if you hadn't saved me back then, I might have died on the way to the place of exile. If it hadn't been for your arrangements this time, I wouldn't have been able to return to the capital." Shui Youxiu gritted his teeth, "The regret in my heart It has been untied, from now on my life belongs to the master!"
Ouyang Lun pouted, "Old Shui, don't mention your life at every turn. It's unlucky. Your life is not mine, but your own. I have never regarded you as my slave. You have helped me all these years." Taking care of business is just a matter of order, inside and out. Without you, how could I be so leisurely?"
"To say thank you, I have to thank you."
"Actually, I didn't plan for you to go to the capital at the beginning this time, but I thought about it carefully, why not go since I have this opportunity, and make up for the regrets in my heart so that I can start better. Although you are a little older, you There is no doubt about his importance to me. If we work together, we will definitely kill every enemy in the market without leaving a single enemy behind!"
"Thank you for your trust, sir!" Shui Youxiu was very moved when she heard Ouyang Lun's words.
"If you really want to thank me, then go to the cashier's office to make some change, and then go home and recuperate."
"Yes!" Shui Youxiu did not refuse this time. Instead, he saluted Ouyang Lun and slowly stepped back.
Ouyang Lun was relieved when he saw Shui Youxiu leaving.
"Being a boss is not easy! Not only do you have to pay your employees, but you also have to provide them with psychological counseling."
Just when Ouyang Lun was muttering with emotion.
Zhou Bao hurriedly walked in, "Master, Li Fuyuan, Xu Liang, Zhao Tianming and other adults are here!"
"Oh, with so many people coming here at this time, could something happen that they can't solve by themselves?" Ouyang Lun muttered, then waved his hand and said, "No, Zhou Bao, just say I'm sick and I'm lying in bed now." They're in bed, so it's not convenient to see them, so if they have anything to do, they can leave a message."
Zhou Bao suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
"Is there anything wrong with Zhou Bao?"
"Master, I used the excuse that you were sick a few days ago. Master Li and the others probably won't believe it this time." Zhou Bao said cautiously.
"Um" Ouyang Lun was a little embarrassed, "Then just say that I am studying something very important. If someone interrupts me, problems will easily occur!"
"This was used just the day before yesterday."
"Then what if I took my wife out for an outing?"
"No, Mr. Li and the others will definitely get to the bottom of it. Where are you going? They will chase you."
Ouyang Lun then thought of several more excuses, but either they had already been used, or they had no credibility at all.
"I have used all the possible reasons. It seems that I have to see this person today." Ouyang Lun said helplessly: "Go and bring them all in!"
"Yes, sir."
Zhou Bao moved quickly, and after a while, Li Fuyuan, Xu Liang, Zhao Tianming and other senior officials from Beizhili came in.
"I have met the Chief Envoy!"
"Exemption."
Ouyang Lun waved his hands lazily, "Hurry up and tell me what you came to see me for! I'm busy with other things!"
Li Fuyuan and Xu Liang looked at each other.
Then Li Fuyuan stood up and said: "Sir Ouyang, the construction of the Great Wall is progressing steadily now. After discussion with several other colleagues, I feel that we in Beizhili cannot focus all our attention and energy on building the Great Wall. Other aspects Should it also develop?”
Zhao Tianming followed closely and said: "Sir, Master Li is right. It is enough to have only one official in charge of the new city project, and there is also Duke Xin and Duke Wei to help. As long as everything is carried out according to the plan."
Xu Liang also stood up.
