Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 295 is acceptable

"You all agree? So quickly? Hahaha, good, good, very good."

Zhao Guangmei was very happy. This was the first time since he time traveled that he felt that he had trained these guys and that he was not alone.

This incident at least represents a big step forward for Zhao Guangmei and even the Zhao family's goal of "lihua".

If you want to truly create a great system, it will not work just by relying on the strong leadership and high moral character of one or a few people.

At the very least, people are subject to birth, old age, illness and death. Whether a person's spirit and thoughts can be passed on depends on whether he has enough like-minded people around him.

The fire can only be immortal if it is passed down from generation to generation.

If it cannot be passed on, it can only be called the glory of an idealist at best.

Although the opinions Zhao Guangmei gave this time were clear, they were not actually mandatory. According to his past temperament, if he was really determined on what he wanted to do, he would not give others a chance to discuss it, but just sort it out directly. The edict was issued to the world.

The reason why they were allowed to discuss it, and why he himself never went back at all and was still with Yanjing, was to avoid putting pressure on the imperial court and commercial banks.

He let the commercial banks consider this matter themselves, and also allowed them to refuse. This attitude he conveyed was very clear.

To my surprise, I passed it quickly.

"It is said that the ministers held a meeting on the day the decree was received. It was Xiangguo Zhao who raised his hand first. After that, it was unanimously approved."

"Full vote?"

"Yes, unanimously passed."

"Okay! Okay, okay, really good. In this way, I feel at ease."

It is not easy to get vested interests to take the initiative to cut off the flesh. In Zhao Guangmei's view, this matter is still a bit of a milestone. This means that Zhao Guangmei's thoughts, which belong to the Song Dynasty, are being formed and basically adopted by the country's true masters, the civil and military dignitaries. and approved by the shareholders of the commercial bank.

He also truly believes that this should be the ultimate level of centralization that a truly modern society can tolerate. If we go a little further, it will easily slip into "feudal royal power" politics.

If nothing else goes wrong, the future Song Dynasty court, at least in terms of the central court, will be Li Jiapo style.

And in this way, the reforms that Zhao Guangmei will carry out next can have a bottom line.

His next reforms were very simple in content and ready-made. They were nothing more than further selling shares of the trading company to raise funds and establishing N number of subsidiaries for the whole society of the Song Dynasty.

Specifically, in the future, the only wholly-owned companies of the trading company will be the money bank, insurance, and the manufacturing of the most advanced muskets and artillery, and then they will be gone.

These projects are indeed not for profit.

The remaining industries will form more than 60 companies, large and small, and will be gradually dumped out in batches and industries according to their importance. A stock exchange that truly everyone can participate in will be established in Kaifeng. The stocks of these companies can be purchased, and the ultimate goal is to reduce the commercial bank capital's shares in these target companies to about 40%.

Finally, other pure private capitals are allowed to go public. As long as they are reviewed and certified by the court, they can be listed. However, these companies must sell at least 15% of their shares to commercial banks when they go public.

The rules of stock trading are not much different from those of later generations. It is just that Zhao Guangmei herself is more vigilant about financial capital and controls risks more strictly.

After all, the Song Dynasty is not in a hurry for this thing. Anyway, the Song Dynasty has no rivals in the world now, and there should not be anything that can be called a rival within at least 200 years. He is just trying to get ahead. , so the various conditions for financing are also relatively high.

For example, the actual operators of the company are required to hold at least 35% of the shares as a family unit, otherwise they will be required to delist. For example, profits from stocks must be paid heavy taxes to the court. For example, if a person trades stock market stocks on a large scale, his stock will be frozen for three years. years of stock trading qualifications, etc.

Anyway, there is only one company in the world and there is no competition.

If any country dares to open a financial exchange to compete with the Song Dynasty in the future, the Song Dynasty will just send an escort to destroy it.Similarly, Zhao Guangmei did not return to Luoyang when this policy was pushed out, because there was no resistance at all. This was a policy that was not only detrimental to the Zhao family's centralization of power, but also beneficial to everyone else in the world.

Even how to implement this policy is not a problem for Zhao Guangmei. As long as the people's gun problem is solved, it is equivalent to the bottom line of society having been drawn. Above the bottom line, no matter how hard it is, nothing big will happen.

Basically, it also clearly stated Kaifeng's position as a city in the future Song Dynasty territory, that is, it is a financial center.

Of course, there should be a price.

The path he designed for the Song Dynasty was conservative in nature. It borrowed a lot from the political system of modern Persia, and naturally inherited many of its shortcomings.

Then naturally it inherits a series of shortcomings.

For example, subordinate staff at the grassroots level have unruly attitudes, low work efficiency, insufficient market competition, etc.

Basically, nine out of ten businessmen who have gone to Persia to do business will complain about their corruption, lack of transparency, lack of free competition, etc.

These are real and undeniable. To put it bluntly, this system will inevitably produce bureaucratic capital. No one can deny that bureaucratic capital itself is reactionary.

It's just that Zhao Guangmei thinks that his Song Dynasty is invincible anyway, and if the efficiency is lower, it will be lower, it doesn't matter.

Because the efficiency of the court's work at the grassroots level is too low, and it is indeed easy to lead to unfair market competition, but it is still a market economy, so a new powerful class will inevitably arise in society.

Taking Persia as an example, when ordinary people feel that the yamen is inefficient and unwilling to tolerate it, they will definitely find ways to find people and go through the back door to bypass some rigid existing rules.

There are often many such people in every city, who are responsible for helping people do things and helping people bypass the rules. These people are the new powerful people. They often have a very high reputation in the local area. Because of their high reputation, people look for them. Because he can help people get things done, his reputation will become higher and higher.

A positive cycle belongs to yes.

When manifested in countries such as Persia, 99% of such people are religious people.

That's why Persia's external appearance makes him appear to be particularly religious.

But in fact, whether ordinary people or government officials, there are not many people who believe in religion from the bottom of their hearts. The government uses it as an ideology. After all, they are anti-Western and anti-freedom.

There will definitely be people like this in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Guangmei has never been overconfident in his own system design. There is no perfect political system in this world.

I just don’t know what kind of organizational form this kind of person would have if they appeared in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Guangmei guessed that it was probably a labor union with a corporate nature.

That is to say, people like Hongxing and Dongxing are all retired from the army in nine cases.

But as long as these people don't commit crimes, engage in pornography, gambling or drugs, Zhao Guangmei thinks it doesn't matter. Anyway, in Zhao Guangmei's understanding, this kind of power that cannot be hereditary is not a big deal as a part of society as a whole.

In fact, any power is not a big deal as long as it is not hereditary.

That stuff is available everywhere, it just takes different forms. For example, a real estate company even dares to fight Internet celebrities. This stuff is no different from the triads.

As long as these rights and powers are not hereditary, we can accept them.

It's really no big deal.
