Chapter 393 Investment and Financial Management
The emperor is supreme, and the emperor is rich in all the world. The so-called world is the king's land, the shores of the land, and the king's ministers. The world belongs to the emperor, so why can't it be poor?
Although there was a poor Emperor Chongzhen in history, he was not cruel enough. The officials, powerful and merchants and gentry of the Ming Dynasty were all rich, but he was poor and the court was poor. What was the reason?
But it is not particularly accurate to say that the emperor really has endless gold and silver. If the emperor can use money freely, it can only be the treasury, that is, private money.
If it is not a luxury or a desperate desire, but just a normal expense, the treasury is enough. Moreover, it can usually be continuously increased and accumulated.
For example, Wanli was known for being greedy for money, but it left more than 10 million taels for its descendants, which was enough for the carpenter emperor to harm. But by the time of Chongzhen, there was not much left.
Therefore, the emperor was not thinking about how much money he had left for his descendants to enjoy, but investing the treasury to make greater profits while accelerating the rise of the Ming Empire.
For example, the Emperor's investment in the Ping Liao bond, the Jianliao bond, and the Haishang Group's base expansion in Borneo.
The treatment that Xiang Yingzi's family can receive for sheep, horses, etc. are also filled with the money invested by the emperor and the effort that the emperor can do.
That's not all. The emperor also attracted investment from the vassal and powerful people. It was okay to invest in many aspects of national economy and people's livelihood and territory expansion.
With the emperor's eyes, investment should be profitable and profitable. Even if it is lost, who dares to collect debts from the emperor?
"Are you going to invest additionally? I'll give this money to me for nothing." The emperor pursed his lips and put King Fu's memorial aside.
King Fu bought my mother's 500,000 silver, which really contributed to the emperor's great cause of pacifying Liao. The emperor did not treat several vassal kings who paid the money at that time and gave shares to the royal workshops.
Glass, glass mirrors, perfumes, soaps, soaps and other products are becoming more and more popular in the market, mainly exporting, and glass mirrors, perfumes, and soaps are even more profitable.
Therefore, after the emperor pacified Liao, he saw that the funds were loose, so he distributed dividends to the vassal kings who had invested. But King Fu was quite interesting and submitted a memorial and thanked him, neither giving dividends nor drawing stocks.
I think that when King Fu took the money, although the emperor said that he wanted to raise funds and invest, he did not take it seriously. He just treated it as a gift to the emperor, which not only brought me back and also achieved peace.
For the vassal states, especially the vassal states, the emperor always wanted to reduce the burden on the court, but letting the vassal states support themselves is obviously more difficult than ordinary vassal states.
But if you change your thinking, it is not a fantasy to let the vassal kings "follow themselves". That is to make money with money and use investment income as the salary paid by the court now.
To put it simply, it is similar to funds in later generations, or the operating model of the Nobel Prize, which is defined as "financial management".
The Nobel Prize was more than 30 million at the beginning, but it can be distributed for more than 100 years through financial investment and can continue. It can be called a miracle.
Whether the vassal kings have money is not a problem. But the money is piled up in the warehouse and deep cellar, without any appreciation. In any case, the emperor felt that it was a waste.
Although there are not many investment and financial management projects now, and it is impossible to even obtain interest from banks. However, expanding territory and plundering externally is also full of opportunities and huge profits.
Many pirates, or privateers from the Western Barbarians, had their own royal investments. Since the emperor knew this, he naturally wanted to make adjustments and take over the money of the vassal kings and even the vassals and the powerful people to make effective use of them.
People make money, they are exhausted; money makes money, and it is easy.
