This is the prototype of a business empire.

However, Times Commercial Bank... is now basically called Times Group. Times Group has many industries, especially related to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War.

For example, the power stations under construction in Shuntian, steam engine research and development institutes, train production factories, as well as some military factories and firearm research and development institutes are all officially recognized formal industries.

It's just that they all operate normally under the supervision of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War.

A group that is involved in military industry... is basically heading for the East India Company.

In fact, what Times Group is doing on the Indochina Peninsula is what the East India Company did back then, but it was just thinking about assimilating the Indochina Peninsula, so the degree is relatively constrained.

Why did Zhu Di ignore the Times Group?

Nothing else.

As the executive director of Times Group, Chen Xili already had a special order from the emperor to enter the palace to ask for Zhu Di, so when he was not here at dusk, Shen Xili entered the palace and sent the money that he should have distributed to Zhu Di.

Part of it is Zhu Di's.

Part of it belongs to the treasury.

What remains is the Dusk and Times Group.

So Zhu Di was very relieved about the Times Group. Even during the Dusk Northern Expedition, he allowed the Dusk to be equipped with muskets built by the Times Group.

Become an armed force to ensure the operation of Times Group in the Indochina Peninsula.

Zhao Fangsheng is the leader of the slaughter.

The squat in the Indochina Peninsula has not only protected the Times Group, but also protected the magistrate. In just one or two years, the squat invaded six rebellions in Manlacca, Angkor and Ayutthaya.

For this reason, Zhao Fangsheng was also given a miscellaneous number by Zhu Di as a guerrilla general.

Huang Du smiled and asked Ma Liu, "How much did you invest in?"

Ma Liu smiled slightly, "I have no wealth. I have raised 30,000 taels with my neighbors and friends. In the huge funding bank of Times Group, it is just a drop in the bucket, which makes Huang Daguan laugh."

Thirty thousand taels are indeed a drop in the bucket.

I understand dusk.

The reason why Ma Liu wanted to make up for it was because as an eunuch, he could never give up 30,000 taels of money with his salary. Some of the money came from unknown sources, so he wanted to make up for it.

He coughed, "The account should be done beautifully. There is also a reminder, Xiao Ma, it's not my grandfather. Although it's not Taizu's court now, Your Majesty is taking care of some things more easily, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know. The reason why he turned a blind eye was because he didn't touch his bottom line. As an eunuch, you must be more careful and you must understand that some money should be taken, but some money should never be taken."

Ma Liu smiled and said, "Official Xie reminded that now on Times Group, the annual dividend is a large sum of money. I am very content now and will not stretch out my hands."

In fact, almost 60% of the officials in the Ming Dynasty now have interests related to the Times Group, and the annual dividends are a large amount of money, and the greed for ink has been reduced a lot.

It is unrealistic to raise integrity with high salaries, but letting officials engage in secondary industries does not affect political affairs. Zhu Di is relatively open to this.

The effect is also excellent.

When an official doesn’t have to be greedy, he will get a lot of income. Who will take the risk?

As for the power transactions caused by the interests of the officialdom, it is another matter.

Who doesn't want water to flow to a high place?

Ma Liu continued: "Actually, Your Majesty acquiesced our eunuchs to raise money to invest in Times Group dividends. This matter is under the charge of Corning Grand Principal. Basically, all the eunuchs in the palace invest in Times Bank have been registered."

He lowered his voice again, "In fact, His Majesty has already checked and registered the investment amount of the Times Group in the entire government and the people. If it is too unreasonable to exceed its own income, His Majesty has quietly dealt with it. Therefore, in recent years, there have been several unknown accounts in the treasury. Fortunately, the Minister of Revenue Xia is a good player in the account."

At dusk, I laughed in surprise.

Damn, Boss Zhu is very good at making money. Knowing that officials invested too much money in Times Commercial Banks, it would be corrupt. But now there is a shortage of talents in the Ming Dynasty, so Boss Zhu is not good at dealing with them. So he secretly told them to spit out the greedy money and leave it alone, and invisibly added a large amount of funds to the treasury.

This is also a good thing.

The richer the treasury and officials of the Ming Dynasty were, the more money they would have in the future, they would have the money to invest in their own era group to build the Arab and South American regions, and to build these two places into the blood-making pumps of the Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly I remembered something, "How is Zheng Dajian's navy progressing?"

Ma Liu shook his head, "This is a major military event, I don't know."

After thinking about it, he lowered his voice, "Anyway, the Grand Priest always comes to report the progress. Your Majesty is always happy. The treasury allocates money very quickly, and it is directly allocated to Zheng Dajian through the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty through the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Revenue. The steel quota for the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Revenue is given priority to satisfy Zheng Dajian, and then the Military Arts Institute."

Huang Du nodded slightly, "That's probably going to be soon."

In about a year or two, the first modern navy will appear in the world.

Just as he was about to ask about Ma Liu's military weapon courtyard again, he saw an eunuch coming hurriedly, followed by palace maids and guards. He knew in his heart that Zhu Di went to court.

Get up quickly.

Ma Liu also remained silent. After seeing Zhu Di's figure entering his sight, he immediately knelt down with the dusk.

Zhu Di came in a hurry.

Seeing the dusk kneeling at the entrance of the Qianqing Palace, I looked at the chairs and tea next to me, and couldn't help but smile. This kid, the common man who could make the eunuch Ma Liu so flatter, was the only God of Wealth.

The influence on Ma Liu was quite good. This little eunuch was obedient and well-behaved. Although he had asked for money before, he had done everything within his bottom line. After he invested money from unknown origins in Times Group and paid dividends, he did not extend his hand randomly.

Very self-aware.

Such an eunuch can actually be reused.

As for the God of Wealth at Dusk... Zhu Di was helpless and relieved.

Yes.

Nowadays, ministers and powerful people in the court and outside the court and the country like to use demon ministers when they are called Dusk.

But among the people, dusk has replaced Zhao Gongming.

Many people are even enshrining this kid's god card - this is simply funny. People are alive and have god card cards, but Zhu Di has to admit that Xun is the God of Wealth for all those who invest in the Times Group and the God of Wealth for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, who was in a sluggish mood not far behind him, then looked at Huang Du again, and waved his hand: "Don't give me a gift, Kang Ning, you can retreat, Zhu Gaoxu and Huang Du enter the hall, I have something to ask you!"

The matter of Chijin Mongolian Guard is not over yet!

However, before entering the hall, Zhu Di suddenly remembered something and said to Kang Ning: "You go and call Wang Jinghong, who has just returned from overseas, remember, let him bring the surveying chart!"

At dusk, his eyes suddenly lit up and he was overjoyed, "Wang Jinghong is back?"

So say...

Can you express the view that the earth is round?!
