Chapter 360: The disappointed Zhang Guoji
"Why hasn't Your Majesty come back yet!" Those who care about Zhu Youxiao are not only Xu Guangqi of the cabinet and Sun Chengzong, the governor of the capital, but also his father-in-law Zhang Guoji. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Since that time when Song Xiance paid him attention and acted as a supplier of military rations, he looked forward to land reform every day, so that he could deduct thousands of acres of land from King Fu and get the approval of the Ministry of State to become a grain trafficker.
Originally, he was quite excited to hear that the cabinet had begun to promote land reform, however, there was no movement for several months, although the newspapers shouted loudly every day, saying that the Holy Emperor of the Apocalypse was the first benevolent emperor of the ages, and even the peasants in the ravine knew about it.
Then, there was no movement.
Lord Guozhang couldn't bear it anymore, and when he inquired, he learned that it was a conspiracy of local forces, so that even Hebei Province, which was carrying out the pilot, made no progress in its work.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but make Zhang Guoji angry, okay, I am looking forward to the stars and the moon here, but you are dragging your feet. It's just that, under the raging anger, Lord Kunaban found that he didn't seem to have any good means.
Not to mention the extremely secret connection between those people, even Jinyiwei was corroded and didn't catch his tail, how could he, an ordinary person with no power, know who was dragging him back, not to mention, even if he knew, he couldn't do anything to the other party.
In desperation, he could only look forward to the return of the emperor's son-in-law who was on a foreign expedition, so that he could quickly carry out the land reform work, and first contract a few thousand acres of land for himself. It's just that, like the land reform, after looking forward to it for a long time, the emperor actually nested in North Korea and did not move, where to play the drama of annexation.
It is true that this kind of thing has spread to the country and made him more and more famous, but it is not what the lord of the country wants.
"I can't delay it like this, I still have to think of other ways to make money." Zhang Guoji thought about it and felt that he couldn't be silent anymore. Every day passes, and countless flowers disappear.
"Go, bring Mr. Song to me." Zhang Guoji commanded.
"Yes, sir." The butler who accompanied him quickly went down to ask for someone.
After a while, Song Xiance pinched the newspaper, his eyebrows fluttered, and as soon as he entered the room, he shouted loudly, "Lord Guozhang, Lord Guozhang, Your Majesty is really a good means, and now North Korea is completely in the hands of the Ming Dynasty." ā
Saying that, he also excitedly raised the newspaper in his hand, "Your Majesty, this is the work of expanding the territory, no wonder the newspaper preaches it every day, saying that Your Majesty is a holy emperor and saint monarch once in a thousand years, looking at it today, it is really not wrong." ā
"Mr. Song, what's wrong?" Zhang Guoji looked at Song Xiance who was a little out of shape inexplicably, and he was puzzled.
"Ah, nothing, just a little excited." Song Xiance waved his hand and handed over the newspaper in his hand, "This is the latest newspaper today, Lord Guozhang will know it by looking at it." ā
Zhang Guoji took it and looked over with curiosity, but was stunned by the headlines on the front page of the newspaper.
"The land reform work of the North Korean province was completed, and the governor of North Korea, Choi Myung-gil, handed over a perfect answer sheet. ć
"Land Reform under the Bloody Bayonet, On the Strategy of Land Reform in North Korea." ć
Choi Myung-gil said that North Korea has decayed, and only iron and blood can give it a new lease of life. ć
"After the completion of the land reform in Korea, His Majesty is very satisfied with Choi Myung-gil, and it is rumored that he will be a member of the next cabinet. ć
"The great Confucian Liu Zongzhou refutes the theory of the holy monarch, His Majesty is bloody today, how dare he say that he is the holy emperor of the world. ć
The sensational titles made Zhang Guoji stunned, of course, the most important thing is not this, but the land reform he has been looking forward to, which was the first to be completed in a small country like North Korea, but the Ming Dynasty, which was the first to initiate, has not made any movement, and is still engaged in pilot experiments.
Your Majesty, why don't you come!
Zhang Guoji just wanted to yell like this at the moment. It's just that he doesn't dare. Therefore, after reading the newspaper, he said in an admiring tone, "Your Majesty's talent is indescribable!" The eight cabinet elders are not as good as His Majesty alone, and the land reform has not been able to be popularized so far. ā
"This ......." Hearing Zhang Guoji's comparison, Song Xiance was stunned, and felt a little unbelievable, how could someone compare like this?
North Korea is a foreign land, although now His Majesty announced the merger into the Ming Dynasty, but after all, the time is very short, the Central Plains has no communication with it, and the other party has no way to return to the heart, no matter what the emperor does over there, there is not much restraint, just can be ruthless, do not have to scruple much.
Under such a butcher's knife held high, the heads of the people were rolling, and it was in exchange for the rapid stability of the North Korean people's hearts. After having the land, these people are the most supportive of the Ming Dynasty, only the Ming Emperor continues to rule them, the land can continue to be theirs, and any ruler will lose the land.
However, in China, it is completely different, not to mention the obstruction of local forces, even if the division is out of the name, no one will carry out the cabinet to arrest and kill people indiscriminately, even if someone forcibly presses it, but when the public opinion boils, it is the time when the head of this person falls to the ground.
Therefore, the difficulty of land reform between the two is completely different. This kind of thing, as long as people with a little insight will understand, so Song Xiance was very surprised that Zhang Guoji would compare it like this.
However, if it is purely on the surface, his statement is not wrong, Cui Mingji alone actually topped the cabinet of eight people. And there are not a few people who think like Zhang Guoji.
Therefore, for a while, Cui Mingji's reputation began to spread in Daming, of course, only among scholars, but this was enough to make him happy.
"Kunijo-sama, you can't compare it like that." Song Xiance explained with a wry smile. But the other party didn't listen, but glared.
"Why can't it be compared, things are clear at a glance, Hebei has been around for a long time, and the land reform has not been completed, but North Korea, which has only been attached for two or three months, and the land reform has been completed." As he spoke, Zhang Guoji became a little annoyed.
"Mr. Song, the military reform of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is still underway, but judging from this land reform, I am afraid that the supply of military food is a little difficult. I don't know if Mr. has any other high ideas that allow the old man to improve his life. ā
"This ......" Song Xiance groaned, he actually had a hunch about coming this time, it had been so long, and the business door he said had not yet been opened, and this Zhang Guozhang was afraid that he would not be able to sit still.
There are already foreign ships coming over from the port of Shanghai, and although they have not yet returned, everyone knows that the other side is waiting for the naval fleet to come back and have enough food.
Seeing that the businessmen on the other side of Nanzhili were about to make a big deal, Zhang Guoji, no, or the Kaifeng businessmen represented by Zhang Guoji were a little anxious and couldn't wait to open up new business routes.
In fact, if it is Zhang Guoji alone, Song Xiance is afraid that there are many ways for him to make a fortune, not to mention, there are so many franchised commodities under the Ministry of Commerce and Trade of the Inner Government, as long as one or two can be found to operate, it is an inexhaustible gold mountain. But if this is the case, Zhang Guoji is afraid that he will not take a break.
Being in this Xiangfu County, Song Xiance also vaguely heard that there are often wealthy businessmen in and out of the mansion of Lord Guozhang, and it is estimated that the business of military rations is too moving, and countless people have joined in through Zhang Guoji.
Now that the grain business is not working, these people can't sit still and want another way out.
"Well, let me give it a try." Song Xiance secretly said in his heart, "No matter what, this Henan can't stay." ā
"My lord, I wonder what kind of money you want?"
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Zhang Guoji asked with interest.
"If you don't want to work hard and just want to earn, then you only need to ask Your Majesty for a few five products of the Inner Government Business Franchise, and you will naturally have no worries about eating."
"This ......." Zhang Guoji hesitated, it is simple to make money in this way, and it is covered by the inner house, so he doesn't have to worry about anything else, but this is not what he wants.
"Sir, let's talk about something else, although the old man is old, he also wants to make a career." Zhang Guoji thought about it, but still refused.
"Hehe, sure enough, there is a new faction." Song Xiance sneered in his heart, "Even Zhang Guoji was used by a group of businessmen to meddle in other industries. ā
"My lord, this is also easy to do, I don't know if you read the newspaper some time ago. It was the period when His Majesty defeated Lin Dan Khan and recovered the left wing of Mongolia. Song Xiance continued to carry forward his name and constantly made suggestions.
Zhang Guoji frowned bitterly, but he couldn't think of anything that made an impression. Seeing this, Song Xiance didn't force it, and said it himself, "That issue, revealed a technology, wool textile technology, now, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade is laying out over there, planning to buy wool as its own exclusive, since the inner government can intervene, why can't you?" ā
"This technology, Tiangong Research Institute will definitely have it, you only need to enter Beijing, find the queen's mother, seek this technology, enter as soon as possible, you can occupy a place, and become one of the best figures in the industry." In the future, even if this wool textile can not be as famous at home and abroad as Songjiang cloth, it will also become the most influential industry in Daming. ā
"This is good, this is good." Hearing this, Zhang Guoji suddenly agreed, although he didn't know how to weave, but he knew that Songjiang cloth, the benefits behind the bulk of Songjiang cloth, it was really enviable, and he didn't dare to interfere, and now he wants to do this wool textile, there is also such a prospect.
"Mr. Song is really talented, why don't you stay here and make a career together with the old man." Zhang Guoji smiled, and suddenly sent an invitation to the other party.
This invitation shocked Song Xiance and waved his hand again and again to refuse. "No, no, Song is only a shallow learner, how can he enter the country to speak, it's just a little foolish. Song is now aiming to travel all over the world and see the world's strange news, this Xiangfu County is now enough, and I hope that the adults will allow him to leave. ā
"Mr. Song is leaving?" Zhang Guoji was a little surprised, but then he thought that he was about to go to the capital, and it was a little inconvenient to act, and it was not a matter to take the other party with him, since he wanted to leave, he would leave.
"It's okay, the old man doesn't force Mr. Song to stay, but during this time, Mr. Song has worked hard, and the old man has nothing to repay, so he can only send some Cheng Yi to express his heart." Zhang Guoji clapped his hands, and soon the servant came up with a tray.
"I hope Mr. will accept this hundred silver dollars."
"In this way, Song will be cheeky."
After a polite exchange between the guests and the host, the two parties broke up happily, one was able to continue traveling, and the other got what he could do, and he was very satisfied. It's just that I don't know what kind of impact Zhang Guoji's collusion with local businessmen will bring.
