Ye Chunqiu was not very concerned about the matters discussed in the court.

Because for him, he now has too many things to do.

Now, no, more strictly speaking, the entire Ming Dynasty has fallen into some kind of blindness, huge investment, crazy expansion, and countless manpower and material resources have been continuously released from the customs along with sea ships or by land.

All these need guidance and no mistakes can occur.

However, Ye Chunqiu was not worried about the overheating of trade. At present, there were too many chu women in the Ming Dynasty, and there were too many markets to develop, and there were endless growth points. Let them burn, the more they burn, the better. Whether it was an economic crisis or a railway crisis, they were too far away from this era when trade was just emerging.

The court discussions are actually under Ye Chunqiu's general control. As the current chief minister of the cabinet, Wang Hua, as soon as his business tax law was released, and since His Majesty provided support, the only thing left is how to eliminate resistance.

Here, Fei Hong helped Ye Chunqiu very much. If such a rationalist appeared, Li Dongyang would have fallen to the ground and opposed it. This... was a vicious party struggle.

However, Fei Hong's appearance gathered the anti-Shanghai rationalists together. Even at this time, they were not strong, but they differentiated some anti-Shanghai scholars. The final result of the court discussion was very likely to be that Fei Hong bargained with Wang Hua, determined the status of some scholars, and used it to exchange for the implementation of the Commercial Tax Law.

The purpose of politics itself is to compromise. If it cannot be compromised, it can only be solved with a sword.

In Ye Chunqiu's opinion, he did not think that a one-say method was the best. His Majesty and his Lord Taishan really needed to make some compromises. Only by making compromises can those frustrated people be comforted and make them not go to extremes because they are unwilling to give up.

Those truly radical anti-Shanghai scholars are no longer within the scope of what Ye Chunqiu was thinking.

Because once the rationalists, the poetry society, the palace, and the Zhenguo Mansion reached an agreement, both Li Dongyang and those radical and anti-Shanghai students would be marginalized.

This is the main purpose of Ye Chunqiu's visit to the disheartened Fei Hong that day, and he wanted to leave Fei Hong behind and support Fei Hong.

Thousands of years of tradition have long been integrated into the blood of many people. Even if the benefits of commerce development are right in front of you, scholars who adhere to books may not be willing to compromise. Since you cannot convince them, since they think you are harming the country and the people, what should we do?

Instead of sending them all to your opposite and letting Li Dongyang, who has become a mortal enemy, lead these people to restrain you everywhere, it is better to invite someone out and let him speak out on behalf of these scholars, learn to compromise and bargain.

The status of merchants is naturally unhappy, but what if the opposition is useless? Then ask someone to negotiate and come up with some compromise plans. While improving the status of merchants, it also gives scholars some benefits. Although everyone will not be happy, they can minimize the power of opposition and finally get balanced. Then the things that need to be practiced can be implemented safely.

Therefore, with the sponsorship of merchants, Taibai Poetry Society began to penetrate all aspects of the Ming Dynasty. Even Ye Chunqiu began to build schools locally in the name of Taibai Poetry Society.

Where does the money come from? Raise from merchants! All kinds of students are charged, and only a small amount of tuition fees are charged.

Wang Hua also tried his best to provide some convenience. He ordered the local officials to cooperate in the palace report.

This approach is to improve the comprehensive literacy rate.

On the one hand, you can ask local students to teach their homework. After all, not every student is rich and powerful. He is given a certain salary so that they can get out of life difficulties. At the same time, he provides them with a leisurely job, which can eventually allow them to go online to Taibai Poetry Club. On the other hand, anyone who reads books and learns words, even if what he learns is the most superficial knowledge, it is just simple arithmetic and enlightenment. But once he recognizes words, he can read books and newspapers by himself and understands the outside world. Is a person who knows the vast world still willing to farm at home?

Everything is in disputes and quarrels. Although there are obstacles and setbacks, it staggers and gradually goes on track.

Speaking of which, Ye Chunqiu's bet was really too big, and he bet on the entire Ye family's wealth over the years. In less than two months, the Ye family's purchase of land, the acquisition of workshop shares, and the exclusive construction of railways have become an astonishing amount.

When Sun Qi delivered the account book to Ye Chunqiu, the final number was even Ye Chunqiu who had been mentally prepared, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

Two hundred and seventy million taels.

That's right... I'm just so willful. This number, in terms of calculation, has been the current tax and silver income of the court for a hundred years.

But even if the court began to impose commercial taxes, it would have been at least ten years of treasury income.

Among them, except for the Ye family’s savings of 50 to 60 million taels of silver, the rest of the money was withdrawn from the money house. In other words, these silvers were all savings income, which was equivalent to the Ye family borrowing the depositors’ silver and making the largest investment.

Here, there is a great risk. Once a bank run occurs in the middle, or someone exchanges paper bills for real money on a large scale, it means that the Zhenguo Mansion’s money house goes bankrupt. Once something goes wrong in the middle of the Ye family’s investment, it means that the entire Zhenguo Mansion and the Ye family have accumulated all the money they have accumulated today will be gone.

This is definitely Ye Chunqiu's huge bet on his own wealth and life. What is completely certain is that if you lose, you will lose nothing, but if you win?

Once you win, these investments will increase by ten or even a hundred times, which means...

Ye Chunqiu didn't even dare to imagine that today, the wealth of the second largest business bank is roughly only around tens of millions of silver patterns, which can almost be considered as a rich man. However, if the Ye family could make a big profit this time, the wealth of the Ye family would be far away from the wealth of the second largest business bank, and its wealth would be more than a hundred times that of it.

By then, the total assets of the Ye family will surpass any commercial or political entity in this world. Even if there is no input from now on and no wealth is accumulated, the Ye family's assets will be enough to enrich the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, which has levitated commercial taxes for hundreds of years.

call……

This is the real wealth that is comparable to a country.

Even if there are thrilling risks, why is this gamble not heart-warming?
