They were determined not to allow Boss Ming to be re-elected.

Once Boss Ming is re-elected, many of them will suffer.

In the past five years, it was because of the needs of the times that a strong person like him was needed to punish traitors and do some drastic things in the face of sudden changes in the environment.

Just like when Kangxi chose Yongzheng.

People say that fourteen was changed to four, or that they saw Qianlong and liked Qianlong or something.

These are all rumors among the people, and they are all intended to attack Yongzheng and ruin Yongzheng's reputation.

Kangxi's neglect of government in his old age directly led to the decline of the Qing Empire, and the Qing Dynasty was about to decline day by day. Among Kangxi's many sons, only Yongzheng had the ability to truly implement the New Deal and solve the problem of officialdom.

This is the reason why Kangxi chose Yongzheng.

Of course, a digression. It is said that the Qing Dynasty fell under Qianlong.

The so-called prosperous times of Kangxi and Qianlong were nothing but false prosperity.

In fact, this is not quite true.

Speaking of which, there is a reason why it can be said to be the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong.

Of course, Qianlong's prodigality was obvious to all.

However, why the Qianlong Dynasty did not lose all its industries, there was a very key talent: He Shen.

Everyone said that Heshen was a corrupt official.

In fact, from a historical analysis, He Shen may not necessarily be the corrupt official in the legend.

Of course, He Shen was indeed corrupt, but his corruption gains were only a drop in the bucket compared to his business gains.

First of all, Heshen is a talent.

Heshen was not only proficient in four languages: Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian, and Tibetan, but he also read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly, and was truly knowledgeable.

Moreover, in "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan", it is said that Ji Xiaolan protected "Dream of Red Mansions". In fact, on the contrary, it was He Shen who protected "Dream of Red Mansions".

The preservation of this banned book at that time was definitely not something that the timid Ji Xiaolan could do or dare to do. It was He Shen who had the courage to preserve it.

Only then came the four great masterpieces of later generations.

As for doing business, at that time, everyone liked to hoard land and then rent it to tenant farmers to collect rent and make a living. This was almost the most enthusiastic thing of all the nobles in the entire feudal dynasty.

They use their power, plunder and plunder in various ways, and then rent out the land. That way, they can live a stable life in the future.

This is a routine used by almost all feudal dynasties.

This is also the reason why the feudal dynasty had to collapse when it reached a certain point.

Because the big landowners annexed all the land, and in the end most people had no land. They had no choice but to rent land from the big landowners. In this good harvest year, everyone was happy and everything was fine.

After all, ordinary people can support their families, landlords also receive rent, and everyone is happy.

However, once the year is bad and the tenant farmers' harvest is not good, the big landowner still demands so much rent.

Naturally, conflicts arise.

At first, they borrowed money to survive. Then, they sold their children and daughters.

After this, the only option is to rebel.

As for the weather, there is a cycle of one or two hundred years. At this point, when everyone's harvest is not good, they will naturally have no choice but to rebel.

This is also the reason why the feudal dynasty did not live long.

But unlike Shen, he doesn't want land.

He does things for people, all for money and no land.

He Shen is very shrewd. He uses his money to invest.

Heshen's investment projects are very wide, including: finance, real estate, mining, logistics, medicine and other industries. He owns twelve pawnshops in Beijing, and also operates an accounting office, a porcelain shop, a medicine shop, an antique shop, a bow and arrow shop, and a grain shop. , restaurants, gang houses, lime kilns, etc.

In addition to these, he has also dabbled in the logistics industry. Today, Heshen can definitely compete with leading logistics companies such as SF Express and YTO. He has specially prepared 80 large carriages for transportation. The profitability of these industries is far

Higher than land rent. Even for those real estate properties, Heshen mostly chooses to rent them out to obtain income. Heshen has 35 rental houses in Beijing alone, with a total of more than 1,000 rooms, and the annual rent collected is

A steady income.

Moreover, He Shen was bold in doing business and dared to invest. During the Qing Dynasty, mining industry was very risky. Because of the large investment, slow returns and complicated management, many wealthy people did not dare to get involved. But He Shen did the opposite.

It turns out that he once opened coal mines in Mentougou and Xiangshan. He can indeed tell people with confidence: "I have a mine at home!"

The reason why Heshen got involved in the coal mining industry was because he saw it as a sunrise industry. We all know that coal mines were an absolute necessity during the industrial revolution. This shows that Heshen has an avant-garde mind in business.

Heshen can not only make money, but is also very smart in wealth management, such as borrowing money. Heshen has carried forward the style of "brothers settle accounts clearly". Regardless of relatives or friends, when borrowing money, you must write an IOU, pay interest, and have

Pawn.

For example, Heshen's grandfather once lent Heshen 2,000 taels of silver. He was worried that his grandfather would not be able to repay the money in time, so he forced the old man to use his family's land deed as a mortgage. Heshen's uncle once lent Heshen 15,000 taels of silver.

For two taels of silver, Heshen gave his uncle one penny per month as interest. In the end, the money including principal and interest increased to 21,100 taels. This shows that Heshen is shrewd in wealth management.

After He Shen became Emperor Qianlong's right-hand man, he also brought his business talents to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This royal institution that was often unable to make ends meet always gave the emperor a headache. Those ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not understand business at all, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was outside

Many of his businesses were losing money. In the 41st year of Qianlong's reign, shortly after He Shen took office in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he gave this poorly managed government department a new look, not only making up for the fiscal deficit, but also achieving profitability. Due to He Shen's outstanding ability,

Qianlong also appointed him as the tax supervisor of Chongwenmen. Under his management, the tax revenue of this customs increased significantly, and it ranked among the top tax customs in the country.

Why did Jiaqing kill Heshen, but the Jiaqing Dynasty was so poor? It was because he closed down a series of foreign businesses opened by Heshen, and completely closed the country.

Before this, although this was also the case during the Qianlong Dynasty, with Heshen around, business contacts with foreign countries were still maintained.

But Emperor Jiaqing completely closed down the country and completely blocked the Qing Dynasty.

Since then, the Qing Dynasty has officially reached its end.

Jiaqing also became a poor emperor.

The emperors who followed were even worse than the other.

The topic returns to Boss Ming.

If he is re-elected, it will be a huge threat to everyone. In fact, it will be a disaster for everyone.

Then everyone's life will be difficult.

And if Yingcheng becomes the Zhili Special Economic Zone, it will be the biggest help to Boss Ming.

Therefore, this time, they must prevent Yingcheng from becoming the Zhili Special Administrative Region no matter what.
