Chapter 671: Born to make a living
In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing, Zhenhai was established as a city for trade, everything was made from scratch, and all the rules were imaginary...... At least that's what it looks like to outsiders.
Tang Shunzhi and Sun Piyang took the thick booklet drafted by Qian Yuan and worked hard to make Zhenhai the area with the fastest circulation of commodities, the largest variety of commodities and the largest stock of silver in the world.
The most talked about is the white wolf of the empty gloves of Qian Yuan, a maritime merchant led by Wang Zhi, a maritime merchant, Qian Yuan raised silver from large households in the southeast, and used this batch of silver as a means to build wharves and warehouses, level roads, recruit manpower, and create a good scene out of thin air.
Therefore, when Qian Yuan nakedly said the word "empty gloves white wolf" in the lobby of the mansion, the wealthy businessmen from Zhejiang, Susong, Nanjing, and even Huguang, Huizhou, and Shanxi who gathered did not hesitate to pat their chests.
"Five thousand taels to cash out today!"
"What is five thousand taels, Wu Mou gave eight thousand taels of silver!"
"I don't have 10,000 taels, and I'm embarrassed to come here...... A certain family is willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver to help Ninghai trade! ”
Sun Ling on the side was dumbfounded, this group of people is crazy?
Zhao Dahe, the county magistrate of Ninghai, who has been in Zhenhai for a long time, was trembling with excitement.
"Silence!" Tang Shunyi slapped the table, "What kind of system!" ”
Lu Yipeng explained in a low voice, "At the beginning, Zhan Cai said that whoever is willing to give money to help will be the first to get the documents for trade and going to sea." ”
"No wonder!" Sun Ling really didn't know about this, "I only heard that last year's exhibition beckoned, and tens of thousands of silver were won in two days." ”
Chen Younian checked the accounts, knew these things best, and said softly: "Not only that, but all those silver can be deducted from taxes. ”
Sun Ling sighed twice, "No wonder I heard people say this morning, and I showed my talent to pick the cake on the ground!" ”
Tang Shunzhi scolded for a while before turning his head to look at Qian Yuan, obviously, in the minds of those rich businessmen, Tang Shunzhi, who had worked hard for more than a year, was far less important than Qian Yuan.
Qian Yuan coughed twice and hesitated: "Silver taels can't be deducted from taxes?" ”
The opposite side quieted down, and the head of the Zhou family in Hangzhou, Zhou Bo, got up and said: "Even if the tax cannot be deducted, the Zhou family is willing to donate 5,000 taels of silver." ”
There was a commotion below, how many unhappy eyes were cast on Zhou Yibo, you have earned enough money, and you are good friends with Qian Longquan, what about us?!
Zhou Shi, the second son of Zhou Bo, is a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing, a member of Suiyuan, and now in Renzhi County, Shanxi, Qian Yuan lived in Zhou's courtyard when he first went south to Hangzhou.
Zhenhai set up a city to trade, and Zhou Zhou Bo was the first batch to participate, with 3,000 taels of silver, and he made a lot of money for more than a year.
A round-faced middle-aged man got up and said, "Longquan Gong, if you can't deduct the tax silver, Liu will pay 3,000 taels of silver." ”
"You still say that less than 10,000 taels is not enough." Qian Yuan chin at Wang Zhinunu, who was sitting far away, "What does the owner of Wufeng say?" ”
Wang straightened up and arched his hand around, "Wang is willing to give 10,000 taels of silver." ”
"Where do we have the arrogance of the Five Peaks Ship Owner?"
"Yes, and it's impossible for all ships to be transferred to Ninghai."
Qian Yuan listened with a cold face, and after a while, he raised his hand, and the lobby immediately fell silent.
"Divided into thirty parts, each share is three thousand taels of silver, except for the owner of the Wufeng ship and the Linhai Liu family, each family will take up to two shares."
Wang Zhi naturally takes the biggest share, which is deserved, not to mention anything else, the sea ship has to hang the banner of Wufeng on its voyage, but why does the Linhai Liu family have?
Although he was not convinced, no one refuted it, Qian Yuan's weight in the southeast was undoubtedly shown at this moment, you must know that except for Wang Zhi, there is at least one two-list jinshi behind everyone.
"Claim two copies, each family can get the trade and sea documents every month, no more than five ships can go to sea at a time, no more than 12 times a year, claim one, and halve." Qian Yuan continued: "All of you here are big families, and you must want to do this business forever. ”
A tall and thin man muttered in a low voice, "Isn't it the same as Yanyin?" ”
The rest of the people understood as soon as they heard it, to be a salt merchant, first of all, they need to have a salt guide, but those salt merchants in Yangzhou do not necessarily have salt in their hands, many people are rented, and those who rent out depend on this to survive.
In other words, if you don't go to sea in any month, you can completely sell the documents for trade and sea, three thousand taels of silver, and the asking price is ruthless, maybe you can return to the capital at one time.
Although it can't be deducted from taxes, this is completely giving yourself a lot of face and benefits!
"Cixi Zhao family two!"
"Two copies of the Zhang family in Yinxian County."
"Two copies of the Songjiang Sun family!"
Harmony sounded one after another, and all of them claimed two copies, and none claimed one.
I bought almost 100,000 taels of silver at one time...... Huang Maoguan was stunned on the side, his eyes were green, as the Duke of Tongan said, Qian Longquan was born with a livelihood!
Huang Maoguan calculated in his heart, except for the trade and sea documents once a month, Qian Yuan didn't pay anything, basically returned 100,000 taels of silver with empty gloves, and this time he didn't even have to deduct the tax silver.
The most important thing is that Ninghai set up a city for trade, and it was originally intended to issue documents for trade and commerce, and Huang Maoguan couldn't figure out why these maritime merchants were willing to enter the pit just for the sake of going to sea documents once a month?
Tang Shunzhi, who was sitting on the main seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was very helpless in his heart, Qian Zhancai is the person who can make the best use of things......
After the establishment of a city in Zhenhai last year, the difficulty of issuing documents for trade to the sea was actually very high, and Tang Shunzhi was very strict, and there were many wealthy businessmen and big businessmen who were turned away.
In particular, Qian Yuan designed for the eight maritime merchants, and put many of them on the blacklist with a not very clean foundation.
The following people inevitably speculate that after Ninghai is traded, the issuance of trade documents is likely to be very strict...... Think about Wang Zhi, who invested that amount of money last year, and his fleet was the first to sell goods to the South Seas.
And Qian Yuan also made it very clear that once a month, twelve times a year, the trade documents can be sold or leased, and they can definitely be repaid.
This is also the reason why Qian Yuan had to choose to hold an "investment conference" in the government.
Of course, Qian Yuan also hoped that Ninghai would be able to trade as soon as possible, and the taxes and silver paid would be divided into the Tai Warehouse, and the more silver he had, the more stable his position in the court.
The anxious few families have already gone out in a hurry to let people move the silver, and the ghost knows if there will be any ...... the next day Counting with his fingers, Wang Zhi and Linhai Liu's family were removed, and there were at most more than 20 copies, two copies for each family, and at least more than 20 in the hall.
"In the Xinchang people of Xiashaoxing Prefecture, it is most convenient to recruit people to go to Linhai!"
"I'm a native of Ninghai, who has my convenience?"
"I am willing to sell grain at a reasonable price for the people, and repair the wharf as soon as possible!"
"It's cold this winter, Shangyu Gejiayuan donated 1,000 cotton clothes!"
There was a lot of commotion, Qian Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to it, and asked Sun Ling and Zhao Dahe to take care of it, and the list was handed over to the Taizhou Mansion, and Song Yiwang had to pass it.
Qian Yuan beckoned to Wang Zhi and Linhai Liu's family, "Four parts of the old shipowner, three copies of the Liu family." ”
Wang Zhi nodded, "Someone has been sent over, all of them are old people from last year." ”
"Well, it's all arranged." Qian Yuan continued: "There is news from Fujian and Jiangxi, the thief army is very fierce, although Hu Ruzhen has won a few battles, but the main force of the thief army is still there, and Fujian and Jiangxi are both mountainous, and there are many thieves and bandits. ”
"Immediately let Xu Bixi bring people from Zhoushan, and he can arrive in Min County within half a month." Wang Zhiying said a few more words before leaving.
"Longquan Gong." Liu Rui, the head of the Linhai Liu family, said with a wry smile: "Three parts of nine thousand taels of silver, it's really ...... I can only thank Longquan Gong for his kindness. ”
"The money is paid in advance." Qian Yuan Zhengse said: "Linhai Liu's family, destroy the family and kill the widows, and the Mingtang Gong should be passed on to future generations." ”
Mingtang Gong, Liu Rui's father, Liu Xuan, since the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing, gathered the township to kill the widows.
After Tan Lun entered Taizhou, Mingtang destroyed his family to help him, and many of the children in the clan died on the battlefield, especially in the 32nd year of Jiajing, Tan Lun dragged his knife and rushed into battle, trying to ensure that Linhai was not lost, and Liu Xuan's son and grandson were all killed by Tan Lun's side.
Even Xiao Qi's clinic also relied on the help of the Liu family, Qian Yuan still remembers that the clinic needed to recruit people and buy more beds, and Mingtang Gong sent the beds left for his granddaughter out of the pavilion.
Unlike Pengxi Town, which has nothing, the Linhai Liu family is a Taizhou family, and Liu Xuan is a second-class jinshi, two jinshi within three generations, two lifters, they are not nothing, but they have nothing in order to resist the Japanese.
And Mingtang Gong Liu Xuan, who later followed Tan Lun into Wenzhou as his counselor, died of illness three months ago, Tan Lun cried a lot, and personally helped the coffin to send him home.
With such a family, how could Qian Yuan take care of one or two more.
