Chapter 95 Integration and Mutual Aid Society

Even if the future generations make a party with a bright and stinky body, they have to be named "charity party", which shows the importance of justifiably.

If Zhao Gongzi said, we will all make a fortune together in the future, and divide the gold in the big scale and the silver in the small scale. Although this is obviously the case, it will make people take your money and still look down on you. Without the minimum respect, what is there to talk about building consensus?

On the white path, consensus must be moral, at least superficially moral.

For example, Zhao Gongzi led the fleet to Japan, obviously to monopolize trade and rob other people's gold and silver, but he couldn't say directly, I will take everyone to burn, kill and loot, even if a consensus is gathered, it will be toxic. It will only make his coast guard quickly degenerate into a pirate gang, a concentration camp for villains.

So although that's obviously the case, Zhao Gongzi must say that we are going to make the blood debt of the Japanese pay for it with blood! Only by standing in the name of righteousness can the soldiers firmly believe that they are the righteous side and kill the enemy without burden.

The consensus that Zhao Gongzi found for the Jiangnan Group and the gentry was 'poverty alleviation'.

Because in the moral system of the national dynasty, 'if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world', which is a very important code of conduct.

This is the rationale for scholars to become officials, which is important because it makes them think that they are moral in doing so.

Although it can not be said twice, it is at least self-consistent at the spiritual level. After all, there are still very few officials who dare to admit that 'I am an official just to make money, for a few more women'.

Therefore, Zhao Hao grasped the point of 'poverty alleviation' and occupied the moral high ground. It is of great help to enhance the corporate image of Jiangnan Group and to gain the reputation of officials and gentry.

Then he will continue to reinforce this concept so that it eventually becomes a kind of political correctness, so as to gain the support of the entire Jiangnan people. At that time, Jiangnan Group will really be invincible......

"This kid is getting older and hotter. If it goes on like this, no one can play him at all. At the next table in the audience, the lonely painter spit out the chewed duck bones, wiped his oily mouth with his sleeve, and asked Zheng Ruozeng on the side: "What trick did you give Zhi?" ”

"I don't have that." Zheng Ruozeng laughed and said, "It seems that these things are all innate." ”

"Indeed, it was as if he was from another world." The writer nodded and said thoughtfully: "Throughout the ages, he is the only one who can jump out of the trap of emperors and generals and have the ability to try a new path." ”

"Journey to the West?" Xu Wei sneered: "Originally, I thought he was Sun Monkey, but now I feel more and more like the old silver coin of Rulai." ”

"I can only say that the sky will not die, and I will be bright." Pan Zhongqi smiled and said that he had known the writer for a long time. The most important thing is that he also went to prison, and after coming to Kun to teach, he naturally joined the prison gang.

"I just don't know, the Ming Dynasty at that time, or not now." The painter said, and naturally took Pan Zhongli's food.

"Why are you eating me again?" Lao Pan said angrily: "I just ate my fish maw!" ”

"The Buddha jumping over the wall is too tired, so the elderly should eat less." Xu Wei scooped a spoonful, squinted his eyes and smacked his lips and said, "The taste is average, so I don't like to eat this kind of big banquet." ”

"You dead fat man has a face!" Pan Zhongli couldn't wait to stuff all the cloisonnΓ© soup cups in his mouth.

The writer looked at the two bickering with some resentment, feeling that he was a little redundant......

Mr. Kaiyang just laughed, he was already past the age of jealousy.

The four of them tacitly agreed not to continue the topic, as if it was not worth mentioning.

After the luncheon, the ceremony ended and the guests went home.

The guides presented souvenirs and a bag of cement...... Not really!

This time it was a delicate mahogany box, and when it was opened, it contained a delicate glass bottle lying on a blue silk lining, containing half a pound of white sugar that was as clear as snow.

The guests were very satisfied with this and felt that Jiangnan Group was really generous. Glassware and sugar are the two high-end commodities that Jiangnan Group has been focusing on recently, and the two add up to twenty or thirty taels of silver.

The key is that it is out of stock now, and you can't buy it if you have money.

The guests returned satisfied, and some people stayed on purpose. Half of them are from the ten prefectures in Jiangnan, and they have not yet joined the counties that have not yet joined the integration of Jiangnan. The other half are from Huizhou, Ningbo, and Xingguo, which have not been classified by Zhao Hao as 'Jiangnan Economic Integration'.

They surrounded Zhao Gongzi and a group of high-level executives of the group, and enthusiastically asked to join the group.

The so-called 'Jiangnan Economic Integration' is a concept that Zhao Gongzi bundled and launched with the help of the opportunity to support the silk industry in various counties. At present, 43 of the 61 counties in the 10 prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River have joined this organization one after another, and with reference to the Kunshan model, they have established or are preparing to establish development companies.

In addition, all the counties that joined the group have set up Jiangnan Bank, and with reference to the Suzhou model, a package of cooperation agreements has been signed with the government, including the mandatory use of silver bills and the agency of money and grain accounts for the government.

Nowadays, although the problem of unsalable silk has been solved, the domestic and foreign sales channels have been firmly controlled by the Jiangnan Group, so none of these states and counties dare to withdraw from the group. This ceremony is even more unstoppable, and all of them came to congratulate......

And those prefectural magistrates also did a good job. With the Jiangnan Group, the people can guarantee their income in drought and flood, and the tax payment will naturally be guaranteed, and the development company can also make political achievements for the county.

In addition, the Jiangnan Bank acted as an agent for money and grain, the accounts were clear, and the procedures for revenue and expenditure were strict, which cut off the way for those treacherous officials to get up and down their hands, which greatly helped the big men to grasp the financial power, and naturally became very popular.

Those Jiangnan Prefecture counties, who were hesitant to join the group because they couldn't let go, had all kinds of concerns, and they saw it clearly for so long. If you don't join the organization quickly, you won't even have a mouthful of soup to drink, so you will take the opportunity to participate in the celebration and express that you want to join.

"Hahaha, welcome, welcome, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high." Zhao Hao naturally wants to welcome it, so that his economic map can be complete. President Jiang visited various counties after the year and signed contracts with them one by one.

Only then did the gentry of the counties put their hearts back in their stomachs, took the souvenirs and thanked them repeatedly.

The prefectures and counties that are not among the ten prefectures are also red-eyed, don't don't want it. They all came out of the Huizhou Mansion and asked Zhao Gongzi to open an opening for the elders in his hometown, so that they could take advantage of the situation.

"This is a handwritten letter from our Ming Mansion to Gongzi." Huizhou Tongzhi handed Zhao Hao a letter with both hands, and said with a smile: "The Ming government said that the three generations of the Zhao family are the pride of Huizhou, and Huizhou must help in this 'Jiangnan economic integration'!" ”

"Such a grand event, how can there be no Shaoxing Ningbo Erfu?" In addition to presenting the prefect's handwriting, the Tongzhi of Shaoxing and Ningbo also took out Zhao Jin's letter, which the two prefects brazenly begged for. The elder brother's hometown, Yuyao County, is under the jurisdiction of Shaoxing, but it has a closer relationship with Ningbo.

"The mines of Jiangnan Group have been dug up in our Guangdezhou, how can you not bring us here!" Guangdezhou Tongzhi said excitedly. Jiangnan Group's Changguang Coal Mine is at the junction of Changxing County and Guangdezhou, and most of it is still in the latter.

"We, and our ......" and the rest of the people also wrote letters.

"Okay, listen to me first." Zhao Hao was so noisy that he hurriedly asked people to accept the letters requested, and when everyone quieted down, he said slowly:

"Thank you very much for your love to Jiangnan Group, but I want to explain that when the group formulated the key development plan, it considered the natural economic connection - the ten provinces in Jiangnan are located in the plain, along the Yangtze River, around the Taihu Lake, and the water transportation is very convenient, and has long formed an economic integration area centered on Suzhou, which is the fundamental basis for the formulation of the Jiangnan Economic Mutual Aid Zone."

"But for example, in my hometown of Huizhou, 'eight mountains, half water and half fields, one road and one manor', it is difficult to integrate with the economy of the south of the Yangtze River because of the inconvenient transportation with the above-mentioned areas. Otherwise, we Huizhou people would not have come out at the age of fourteen or fifteen and gone to various places to do business. ”

However, the industry and commerce in Jiangnan are all in the hands of Huizhou people......

Zhao Hao hugged his fist apologetically and said: "Guangde, Ningguo, and Chizhou are all for this reason, we are afraid that we will not be able to achieve integration and disappoint you!" ”

Zhao Gongzi is telling the truth, because in this era, water transportation is the only reliable low-cost transportation method. And the plains are a prerequisite for economic take-off. In later generations, until New China, the integration of the Yangtze River Delta was only within the scope of Hangjiahu in Susongchang Town.

Two thousand years later, with the madness of infrastructure and the solution of the traffic problem, the concept of the Yangtze River Delta was gradually expanded to the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.

Zhao Hao's integration of the south of the Yangtze River is just a variant of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, of course, he can't break through the limitations of natural conditions, and can only make a fuss in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plain.

"If you don't bring us, we'll be disappointed......" Seeing that he refused with ten moves, everyone muttered.

"Our Ningbo Shaoxing transportation is convenient." Ningbo Tongzhi protested on behalf of a friend in Zhejiang: "It is separated from Songjiang by Hangzhou Bay!" ”

"We can't stretch our hands that long." Zhao Gongzi smiled bitterly: "Hangjiahu is included because they have always been closely related to Taihu Lake and Suzhou. Shaoxing and Ningbo, at present, the group is still a little whip long, greedy and chewy. ”

Just when everyone showed disappointment, he changed his words and said: "But it's still that sentence, Jiangnan Group can't live up to your love." In this way, we have also set up a mutual aid organization on top of integration, so you can join this first. ”

"Mutual aid organizations?" Everyone was stunned.

"Yes, Jiangnan Economic Mutual Aid Organization." Zhao Hao nodded and said: "All the preferential treatment given by Jiangnan Group to the integrated area can be enjoyed by members of mutual aid organizations. However, it is not mandatory to join the integration process...... In fact, this process will not be so comfortable, it will require many strong men to break their wrists, they need to obey the overall situation, and they will also assess the progress. It's going to be easier for you too......"

Everyone is not stupid, they can understand what Zhao Hao said euphemistically, he actually treats them as peripheral organizations outside the core area. Fortunately, they are not for the development of the county's economy, but just hope to let Jiangnan Group support the economy and introduce Jiangnan Bank. Zhao Hao is fulfilling their wish.

So they all agreed, so they let Zhao Hao go and left.
