Chapter 342: Money Can Make Demons Grind
Today's Weihui Mansion is in a blowout period.
But this is really not Guo Dan's own credit, because the commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty itself has a certain scale, although it is only limited to Jiangnan and Jingshi, but the problem is that the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, even if it is just one Jiangnan, it is incredible, at least much larger than the small island in the west.
It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty didn't have the capital soil.
It all shows that there is a sprout of capital in the DPRK, but it is still budding when it develops to death, and there is no progress at all, and one of the main reasons is the system, because of the strength of the official standard, which leads to the inability of capital forces to raise their heads.
And the appearance of Weihui Mansion is undoubtedly a partial break of the official standard, after all, there is not even an official mansion, of course, from the overall situation, it is still the official standard, after all, it is directly controlled by the emperor.
But this is the demand of the world's businessmen, but they didn't realize that they had such a demand before, and once this thing appeared, there would inevitably be a large amount of capital pouring in.
It's essentially a relationship between demand and supply.
Business is the relationship between the two, that is to say, the capital soil is radiant, and it must have a close connection with the outside world, if there is no connection, it will be completely finished.
In the process of capital influx, the development of the economy has been promoted.
Among them, the biggest benefit is the Daimyo's Mansion, which is because Kaifeng Mansion, Zhangde Mansion, and Huaiqing Mansion all chose to close the road, so merchants in Jiangnan, Jiaodong, Gyeonggi, and other places can only choose to go from the Daimyo's Mansion.
And the fastest economic development of the Daimyo Mansion is none other than Huaxian County, because it is the only way to enter the Weihui Mansion.
It's hard to find a hotel here these days!
Originally, Li Tong wanted to build it by himself, but Zheng Jin and they refused, they wanted to do it themselves, but they didn't expect that it would come so quickly, so they directly changed some of their properties into hotels for past businessmen to live in.
"What a prescient man! If the hotel and tea shop here were sold to Li Tong, then we would really have suffered a heavy loss! ”
An idler was so flattering that he patted Zheng Jin's ass.
"With his little bit of caution, he can hide it from me."
Zheng Jin looked at the crowded bazaar and couldn't help but laugh triumphantly
This time he really made a lot of money, he and the landlords of Huaxian County, monopolized the tea shops and hotels, and it happened that it was the autumn harvest again, and the harvest of the Daimyo's Mansion was not bad, so they joined forces to sell all the grain stored in the warehouse to Weihui's Mansion to make room for new grain.
At the same time, there is also a supply of greens, fruits, silk, and wood.
The income of pure silver in this half month has already exceeded what he has earned in the past two years, because it is difficult to see some silver for ten days and a half in the past, and the rent money is also grain, silk, and copper coins.
These days, he really wakes up laughing from his sleep.
Zheng Jin suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how about the land in Xiahe Village?" ”
The idle man said depressedly: "It's still talking." ”
"Why have you been talking for so long, and that piece of land can't grow food, will they take it and bury it?" Zheng Jin said angrily.
The idle man sneered: "Master, Xiahe Village is next to Weihui Mansion, which is the only way to enter Weihui Mansion, and those squires are not stupid, they say that they want to build their own hotel." ”
"It makes no sense."
Zheng Jin scolded angrily, and said, "You go and talk to them again, you must take that piece of land for me." ”
After tasting the sweetness, these landlords who picked the door also began to buy land everywhere, but this time they annexed not fields, not only that, they maintained the cultivated land very much, because the demand of Weihui Mansion was too great, and the cultivated land was a profitable business, and they were now annexing the land on the side of the road.
But no one else is a fool, everything that happened in Weihui Mansion, the people of Huaxian County are well aware, and all villages will cover the land to death.
Some plan to develop on their own, and some plan to rent to Weihui Mansion.
You big landlords still want to buy at a low price, so go for it.
This has even led to the return of the population of Huaxian County, which is really rare recently, because the employment opportunities in Huaxian County have begun to rise in a straight line, and everyone wants to make money at their own doorstep, so they go to Weihui Mansion without even a household registration.
At this time, a messenger came over, "Zheng Daguan, our magistrate invites you to come over." ”
Zheng Jin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"The villain doesn't know."
When Zheng Jin came to the county office, he found that all the big landowners in Huaxian County had arrived, and he vaguely guessed something in his heart.
"Zheng Jin has seen Lord Zhixian."
"Zheng Daguan is here, please take a seat, please take a seat."
Zhao Dewang, the magistrate of Huaxian County, stretched out his hand to signal that he was also wearing civilian clothes to meet these big landlords today.
After Zheng Jin sat down, Zhao Dewang coughed lightly, "I invite you to come today, mainly because our Huaxian County has recently been turned into a miasma by the group of businessmen in Weihui Mansion, which has endangered the security of our Huaxian County, and it is not a way to go on for a long time!" ”
"Smoke miasma?"
Zheng Jin was surprised: "Lord Zhixian, why haven't I seen this, I think our Huaxian County has been quite popular recently." ”
A big landowner surnamed Jiang beside him also said: "Brother Zheng is right, I don't feel that there is any miasma. ”
The rest of the big landowners also nodded.
What a miasma, there is wealth everywhere, and the atmosphere is quite good.
Zhao Dewang glanced at them, his face gradually sank, and said: "You don't know from me, you have been in close contact with the merchants of Weihui Mansion recently, you are really confused, how can these businessmen be trusted, the benefits they give you will definitely be taken back tenfold, or even a hundred times, you don't want to fall for them." ”
Zheng Jin said with a smile: "The county magistrate is inevitably making some fuss, the businessmen are indeed not credible, and we don't believe them, this Huaxian County is not Weihui Mansion, here, they have to listen to us, we just got a few barren land to build a warehouse for them, it doesn't matter." ”
Another big landlord said: "Lord Zhixian, this neighbor can't never die without getting along." ”
Zhao Dewang frowned and said: "I said that you are really confused, or fake confused, don't you know the situation in Weihui Mansion?" Now that a group of businessmen are in charge, do you want our Huaxian County to become like this? Look at the people of Zhangde and Kaifeng, are they working together to stop Weihui Mansion, but you connive at them, aren't you afraid of being scolded? ”
Zheng Jin said: "Kaifeng and Zhangde prevented the merchants of Weihui Mansion from entering and leaving, it was because many of their tenant farmers there ran to Weihui Mansion, but now many people in our Huaxian County who secretly went to Weihui Mansion have returned, and we can't stop the villagers from coming back!" ”
"Lord Zhixian, this person has more taxes, if you can't pay taxes, Lord Zhixian won't have a good time!"
"In fact, we all know that the treasury of our county has not been full, and the county magistrate is under a lot of pressure, so let's pay more taxes this year to help the magistrate share some of the burden."
......
Zhao Dewang blinked.
Brother heard me right, right?
These iron roosters actually took the initiative to ask for taxes.
This.......
If these big landlords can pay a little more taxes, it will be a real relief for him.
Zheng Jin smiled and said: "Lord Zhixian doesn't need to worry, we are not stupid, how can we let those businessmen control Huaxian, as long as we control the land and people in our hands, and then there is Lord Zhixian to call the shots for us, what are we afraid of." ”
"That's right, when the Luwang Mansion was built, our Huaxian County also suffered a lot of losses, and it has not recovered so far, and it will not be able to pay taxes at that time, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are only afraid that they will put the responsibility on the county magistrate, saying that the magistrate is incompetent, this should compensate us, and now this compensation is coming, we can't turn it away."
These landlords are the grass on the wall, the wind blows on both sides, how can there be a reason not to make money if there is money, and this is silver, hard currency!
Zhao Dewang listened to it and felt very reasonable, that's the case, it's obvious that the above is fooling around, if something goes wrong, I'll take the blame, at the beginning, those officials in Weihui Mansion were wronged, and they tried their best to do things for the court, but even the black yarn hat was lost, if they are willing to pay taxes, then they can still talk about it.
......
Daimyo's house.
"I don't know if Wang Tongju came to my daimyo's mansion, what advice do you have?"
Cheng Guishi said to a tall and thin middle-aged man beside him.
This middle-aged man's name is Wang Xun, and he is the general judge of Zhangde Mansion, that is, the second-in-command.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Wang Xun waved his hand and said, "I took the liberty to disturb today, mainly for the matter of Wei Hui Mansion. ”
When Cheng Guishi heard this, he immediately exclaimed, "When I mention this, I'm really on fire in my belly!" ”
Wang Xun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What did Governor Cheng say?" ”
Cheng Guishi snorted: "Wang Tong doesn't know, since Guo Dan's Yaren came to Weihui Mansion, my Daimyo Mansion was really tossed by him, Xiahe Village in Huaxian County and Hemen Village in Ji County also had a fight, I never thought that the kid was trying to put the responsibility on our heads, and even wanted us to pay to build a wall, this is really unreasonable, before he came, but there was no problem at all." ”
Wang Xun immediately said: "Who said no, our people in Zhangde Mansion are also very angry because of this, and the people of Tangyin are so angry that they have blocked the road." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly glanced at Cheng Guishi and said, "But the people of your Daimyo Mansion seem to welcome the merchants of Weihui Mansion. ”
"I'm wondering about that, too."
Cheng Guishi sighed bitterly: "I was the same as you at the time, let the local people watch and do it themselves, the landlords of Huaxian County also ran to close the road at that time, and even the river was blocked, but I don't know why, and then they didn't seal it again, but it really made me angry, but if I ordered the road to be closed, this is not in accordance with the rules, in case Guo Dan reported to His Majesty, I can't bear this responsibility!" ”
Wang Xun frowned and said: "Of course I also know that the Cheng Governor's Mansion is in difficulty, but we must not let the Wei Hui Mansion come to Hu Lai, why don't the Cheng Governors want to think about it, this official of the state capital, if he says that he will be dismissed, how terrible is this!" ”
Cheng Guishi said: "Wang Tong sentence and rest assured, my Daimyo Mansion is definitely with your Zhangde Mansion, I have already sent someone to Huaxian County to ask about the situation, and I will definitely find a way to stop this situation from continuing to spread." ”
Wang Xun arched his hand and said: "Then there is the prefect of Lao Cheng." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Cheng Guishi waved his hand again and again, and said: "Even if Wang Tong is sentenced to not come here, I will do this, I am also an official, how can I be in the same stream with businessmen." ”
Wang Xun said with a smile: "With the words of Governor Cheng, then I will be relieved." ”
After sending Wang Xun away, the housekeeper beside Cheng Zhifu said: "Master, it seems that they are really in a hurry, it has only been a few days, and Wang Tongju has rushed over in person." ”
Cheng Guishi sighed: "If it were me, I would be more anxious than them." He groaned for a while, and said, "You go to Zhao Tong's house and ask him to send people to inspect the counties, and on the grounds of preventing the annexation of land, outsiders are strictly forbidden to come to my daimyo's mansion to buy land." ”
The housekeeper said: "But master, our Daimyo Mansion is now deeply benefited, if it is really sealed, it may cause resentment among the people." ”
Cheng Guishi sighed and said, "You are confused, this can be rented if it is not for sale." Now I have to do something, or they're going to turn the finger at me. Also, I don't want the Weihui Mansion to own too much land in my Daimyo Mansion. ”
The housekeeper suddenly realized and said excitedly: "The master is wise. ”
However, Wang Xun's footsteps were too slow, and when he arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, Li Tong had already left the Daimyo's Mansion, and now he was already in Linqing.
This Linqing is not only Li Tong's hometown, but also the transit point of the canal, is the place where Cao Yun must pass, many Cao Yun officials are here, at this moment, Li Tong has reached a transportation agreement with the local Cao Yun official.
Because the Ming Dynasty's Cao Yun has been completely militarized, the people no longer participate in the Cao Yun, the people only pay taxes, since it is the system scheduling, not the market demand, then there will inevitably be waste, a lot of scheduling, are empty ships in the past, above an order, who dares to wait until there are goods and then go out of the ship.
Li Tong is hoping to cooperate with Caoyun to make up for these empty ships, which will not increase any burden on Caoyun, and if you have empty ships, you will transport our goods, and the transportation costs are given at the market price, which is very reasonable.
Of course, Caoyun is willing, which is equivalent to sending money to them, and in this way, Caoyun is always dominant, and the two are complementary, not competitive.
