Li Chao was very satisfied with his successful marriage with the God of War Li Jing.

The Li family in Bashang is becoming more and more prosperous, and they are married to those rich families. The eldest son and the eldest daughter are married to the royal family. The second son is determined by the daughter of Cui Gan, the head of the Cui family in Boling, the third son is determined by the daughter of Sun Fujia, the fourth son is mentioned by the daughter of Wu Shixuan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, the fifth son is mentioned by the daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and now the second daughter is also married to Li Jing Zengchangsun of Sanyuan. If it is considered that the eldest sister is married to Wei Zhengzi, the secretary-general, and the second sister is married to the prime minister Fang Xuanlingzi.

Li Chao's ability to marry is no different from Li Shimin.

Li Shimin turned the prime minister into his in-laws, while Li Chao turned the four surnames Cui, Zheng, Li and Wang, among the five surnames, into in-laws, and only one Lu family was missing.

The five surnames and seven sects, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Xingyang Zheng, Taiyuan King, and the royal Li of Longxi, are still missing one Zhaojun Li and one Fanyang Lu. Li Chao thinks that when he has a few more, he can get married to Zhaojun Li and Fanyang Lu. There are also some Liu family members in Hedong, the Wei family of Jingzhao, the Yang family of Guanxi, the Xiao family of Jiangnan, etc., and all of them are famous families in the world.

Li Chao is not afraid of making taboos. Nowadays, it is very important to see whether a family is prosperous or not. Those famous families are only married to famous families. For example, the five surnames and seven sects, usually only marrying five surnames and seven sects. Even if the emperor is unhappy in such a thing, there is no way to do so.

I remember later, the Emperor of the Li family issued a special order to prohibit intermarriage from five surnames and seven sects and prohibit selling marriages, but the effect was not good.

Li Chao's seniority has suddenly become several generations shorter than Li Jing's grandson, and he has become the relative of Li Jing's grandson. Fortunately, he can also discuss his own opinions.

Since he became a relative, Li Chao had to seek some benefits for the Sanyuan Li family. Li Chao invited the Sanyuan Li family to invest in the Nanhai Commercial Bank of him and the prince at the banquet.

"Recently, I often hear that Nanhai Commercial Bank seems to be recruiting shareholders. It is said that it raises one million yuan in stocks? What kind of business does it require such a large amount of capital?" Li Jing asked.

He has been in Hedong and is thinking about fighting the Turks all day long. Even his family moved from Chang'an to Xiangyang, which was managed by his brothers and sons. This time he came to Xiangyang Chaoji, and he was not very clear about the recent hot business in the South China Sea.

"The official name is Sihai Trading Company, and it really starts with a big start." Li Chao said.

It turned out to be called Nanhai Commercial Bank. Although it is quite in line with the nature of the business, it has the word "Shang" after all. So many honorary friends invest in it, and doing business is always unpleasant.

Li Chao doesn't care about his name, what is important is the result.

After considering it, Li Chao changed his name to Sihai Trading Company.

When the word "company" is a bit high-end, elegant and upscale. It is the name of the official organization in the court, and the name of Gong is even more amazing.

The company looks tall and outstanding together, and there are no violations.

Of course, the word company is not an imported word from later generations. The real result of the company was actually a gang-like combination form in rural Fujian in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, just like various societies and industries.

Later, this name was used in overseas Chinese society in Fujian and Guangdong. Many overseas Chinese in Nanyang organized some fellow villagers. Among these organizations, there were many Hongmen's children. Their organization name was companies, various companies, Jusheng Company, Lanfang Company, etc.

Among them, Lanfang Company was even very large at one time and established the Lanfang Republic locally. Its scale and power are actually equivalent to a country.

Lanfang Company is actually a colonial company similar to East India, but there are some differences. They do not receive much official support, but are supported by lower-level gang organizations.

In the end, the Dutch East India Company swept across the Java Islands, and the Lanfang Company, formed by overseas Chinese, eventually withdrew from the historical stage.

After Lanfang Company, many Hongmen's children still used various companies' names to carry out anti-Qing activities. Even the later Xiaodaohui also used the name of Yixing Company. The seal at the end of their notice was the seal of Yixing Company in the Great Han Tiande Yixing Company.

It was only later that the company gradually no longer had a deep political color and became a simple economic entity organization.

Li Chao chose the term company, in addition to the definition of economic organization in later generations, actually attracted the early color of the company. He hoped that this Sihai Trading Company would not only do trade, but not only do business, but also act as an unofficial pioneer of the Tang Dynasty.

Even in this, Li Chao is not without some selfishness.

The company was only organized and started by Li Chao last time after the prince broke his leg. That time he was beaten by Li Shimin, and his nose and face were swollen.

Then Li Chao understood a truth.

No matter how strong or strong the relationship with the emperor is, there will be a day when the relationship becomes weaker.

Being with the king is like a tiger.

Li Chao hoped to give himself a way out, or his family a way out. Originally, Li Chao originally placed his hope on Shifeng Governor, and felt that he might have a territory in the future.

But the facts tell Li Chao that it was just another big cake painted by Li Shimin. Thirty-six heroes of the founding of the founding of the 18 clans, and the 1900 clans were divided into feudals, which was very loud.

But there has been no movement yet, and the title of governor in this world is just an official position, at most it is equivalent to the hereditary military position of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, based on Li Chao's understanding of Li Shimin, Li Shimin is completely creating a gimmick.

He could not even tolerate the system of conducting Taiwan and the general management system. He gradually abolished the system of conducting Taiwan and the general management system, and changed it to the current system of separation of civil and military affairs, and the system of separation of military and political affairs. He also created seventeen roads in the world, with one big, three small, and four governors, and a civil servant envoy. In fact, Li Shimin had no intention of seizing and decentralizing power at all, but had been centralizing power to collect power.

The Guanlong military nobles who conquered the world for the Tang Dynasty and the upstarts of the Tang Dynasty were gradually being raised in captivity. After the separation of civil and military affairs, civil officials were civil officials, and military officials were military officials. They could no longer change casually, nor could they serve as part-time workers at will.

The result was that the Wuxun Group, which had been in its forever since the Northern Dynasties, was quickly taken away. The military generals were just military generals, and they could only sit in the yamen to drink tea in the court, and could not see soldiers unless they were wartime. And the generals outside could no longer go on horseback to control the army and dismount to the people. The military and political divisions were separated and could only control the military of one acre and three-point land in their own defense zone, and nothing else was involved.

Although some high-level generals are not so restricted, this is a trend.

In the past, wars continued, and military generals were most likely to make meritorious contributions. They were generals and ministers, and they were also civil and military leaders in the local area, and they had great power. Even with their merits, they could allow their children to be in charge of the government, which meant that the military generals completely controlled the political power of the court.

But now, the power of military generals is getting smaller and smaller. The military aristocrats who were so arrogant in the past are now much worse than before. Instead, the gentry have gained power again.

Li Shimin was still engaged in imperial examinations and civil and military examinations. In addition to famous gentry, he also had to support the poor and small landlord class to weigh the great gentry, just like Li Shimin used the great gentry to divide the military merits and nobles and isolated the military merits and nobles.
