Xieshan County in Jinshan County.

Hu Wangxiang is the pioneer county lord here, the original county lord died, and there was no heir, so the territory was included in the control of the county government.

As a college student, or the kind of top student in the college entrance examination with excellent grades, Hu Wangxiang naturally won the position of a county lord.

Not only that, but the people in the county appreciated this talented man from Muzhou who took the initiative to come back.

Hu Wangxiang's skills have been put to use here, with strong martial arts, upright appearance, and high culture, so he is very popular with some big girls and little daughters-in-law.

After meeting the eyes of the big family girls in the county, they simply sat down more smoothly than Lord Wang.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of a letter from the county magistrate of Shanhai County who wants to buy our cotton?"

Hu Wangxiang sat in the first seat and discussed this issue with the rest of the people below.

Sitting in the second seat was Hu Wangxiang's eldest brother Cheng Jiamu.

Cheng Jiamu is older than Hu Wangxiang, and his father was the acting county lord before Hu Wangxiang's arrival, but Hu Wangxiang's ability and literary talent are very powerful, and he is convinced.

"I think it's okay, there is a lot of cotton piled up in the warehouse right now, and if it continues to pile up, it will become moldy and damp, and there is not much spare money in the county right now, so it can't be done without making some money."

Cheng Jiamu's family, as a local landowner, naturally has no shortage of food and subordinates.

As long as you don't spend money and don't make money, then you will save 100%!

People eat what is in the land, and they use what they make, and they live in a small county town for decades, afraid of your inflation?

As long as people in the state capital don't come to make trouble, or don't spend a lot of money to buy things here, then these small places are not seriously affected by inflation at all.

First of all, it must be clear that the landlords of this era are not equal to those rich and wealthy businessmen in the new century, and the landlords of this era are precisely the ones who do not like consumption the most.

Except for a few losers, basically all normal people are thinking about accumulating wealth, and the places where they spend money are also on the edge of the knife.

The economic crisis has almost no impact on people who have no money, how to live before, how to live now.

Muzhou is a poor place, and the county seat here is far inferior to Heishui County.

Xieshan County is also an agriculture-based county, and the people here do not have much concept of consumption, and the so-called first family in the county is actually the kind where even the eldest young master has to work in the field.

Don't overestimate this era, the eldest young master of the Heishui County governor's family, Liu Fufeng, has also gone to the ground!

Cheng Jiamu is not very keen on making money, he mainly knows that Hu Wangxiang and Wang Lanling, the county commander of Shanhai County, know each other, and the matter of planting cotton has already been decided, so he agrees with this proposal.

The rest of the people in the county have a superior-subordinate relationship with Hu Wangxiang, and they also have their own considerations.

The director of the Nongsang Division said: "The lower officials have heard some about the affairs in Shanhai County, the city walls over there have been demolished, and some time ago they were also attacked by horse bandits, and many things on the mountain have been burned clean, I don't know what price to buy our cotton?" ”

The money in Xieshan County is also useful, as long as the big officials outside don't come in to stir up the situation, they can still use that small amount of currency to play with themselves.

It's just that this kind of thing is impossible, just some unscrupulous county people who often come to consume it are enough.

After the people in the county know that things are cheap here, of course they will come here to take advantage of it, and this quiet county town that has no quarrel with the world will soon be muddyed with water.

In this big era, dirty water will run into clear water, just like when Lingtong County sent a big water to Heishui County, this kind of economic water injection cannot be avoided.

Landlords and low-level people do not have the habit of saving much money, and they are more likely to exchange money for land or livestock, or to repair houses and hire more manpower.

The official is different, these people have a good habit of saving.

The general trend, this is the general trend, the general trend!

Hu Wangxiang said: "Shanhai County has been mining copper and iron ore since last year, and has made a lot of iron nails and bronze utensils, etc., and the place is poor and it is not easy to sell these, so they are exchanged for cotton with us, and we can sell these things to the county to make money." ”

After hearing that it was iron nails and bronze utensils and other things to exchange money, the director of the Department of Agriculture and Mulberry immediately said: "This is naturally a good thing, there are too many cotton plants in our county, and it is a good thing to be able to exchange some money for the benefit of the people." ”

The director of the tax department felt that he had work to do, and quickly said, "My lord! This matter is exactly what the tax department should do, and the lower officials originally thought that adults would share their worries and handle this matter! ”

"The affairs of agriculture and mulberry are under the jurisdiction of this official, and there is no need to worry about the tax department. The director of the Nongsang Division quickly stood up and clenched his fists and said, "Xiaguan please handle this matter!" ”

The director of the tax department is not happy, he has been an official for decades, and he finally encountered a big deal, how can he give up?

The director of the tax department scolded: "You are a profit-seeking person, you don't want to do business on your own, and you still want to get involved in such a big thing? I'm not afraid to kill you! ”

The director of the Nongsang Division quickly counterattacked: "You snarky old man, you have to collect taxes when someone else buys a coffin, and this time the matter is handed over to you, that is, to the old ghost!" ”

The two quickly scolded.

Hu Wangxiang felt very uncomfortable, he always thought that these officials were very good at paying attention to identity and etiquette, but the more he understood, he found that it was not like that.

Whether it is Lord Wang, he encounters it at school or in the yamen, especially the kind of things that are jointly responsible, it is easiest to scold each other and accuse each other.

Hu Wangxiang took a deep breath and said majestically: "Enough! I will personally supervise this matter! You should prepare to send the cotton over as soon as possible, and the profits will be accounted for in the county treasury, and a part of the activity funds will be distributed to the departments for their own use. ”

Hearing that there is money, the rest of the people naturally have no opinion.

"Yes! Wise adults! ”

After the meeting, Hu Wangxiang felt a little tired.

Although he has secured the position of the county lord, he has always had a sense of powerlessness to step into the quagmire for this pool of stagnant water, and he feels that there is serious resistance to everything he does.

Cheng Jiamu walked over and asked softly, "County Lord, how are we going to transport things to Shanhai County?" The state government does not allow us to do business outside the county, and in previous years, our cotton was sold to several surrounding counties, although the business is smaller, but we can also make a little profit. ”

Hu Wangxiang sat up straight and said, "Don't worry about this, the county guard of Shanhai County agreed, and the county guard of Jinshan County also agreed, so it is in line with the rules." ”

The imperial court did not allow cross-county business, mainly for individual merchants, and also restricted those county orders from doing misdeeds.

But for a person like Wang Lanling who has a good relationship with the county guard, what is this rule?

If he can win the consent of the top leaders of Jinshan County and Shanhai County, then this deal is a legitimate thing!

Cheng Jiamu said suspiciously: "I don't know about the Shanhai County Guard, and it's normal for him to agree, but is the relationship between our County Guard and that Wang Lanling also very good?" ”

Hu Wangxiang said: "It's really good, the last time I escorted Lord Wang's family to Shanhai County, it was the county guard who helped, and I also sent someone to escort it, and then Lord Wang also wrote a letter to thank the county guard, it is estimated that the letter said this matter, so this time it was so smooth." ”

Wang Lanling is very famous, there are those who don't pay attention to Tianmu County in Yanshan County, and those who are willing to know Jinshan County.
