Zhang Sheng was silent.

Looking at this contract, perhaps...... There was a little comfort in his heart.

After all...... The ancients valued the real thing the most.

For example, there is land at home, for example, there is a mine at home.

A thousand shares, not much, but if there are really large veins in the Hexi Corridor, and they are all precious metals, then ...... It's definitely not a loss.

The land is gone, you can buy it back, and the Zhang family has land from home, but in a blink of an eye, it has become a mine at home.

But...... He still felt bottomless.

Because the earth is right in front of you, and the mine is far away in the sky.

Zhang Sheng stared at Fang Jifan: "Let's open the skylight and say something bright, you also know my son's situation, the Zhang family...... After donating these lands, from now on, you will have to drink the northwest wind, if this so-called dividends are useless, let's be honest, the old man plans to sell the house together. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Sheng was very sad.

"Is this thing really profitable?"

If there is income, the Zhang family can still maintain it, and if there is no income, dare to live in this house?

Fang Jifan's eyes were clear, and he smiled at Zhang Sheng: "Whether there is any income or not, it doesn't just depend on my efforts." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The little nephew and His Royal Highness the Prince, in order to dig minerals, racked their brains, once this mineral is excavated, it can be said to benefit the country and the people, this point, Zhang Butang wants to know better than me."

Zhang Sheng thought for a moment and nodded his head.

Fang Jifan said: "So, whether this mine can be opened, first of all, we must ensure the safety of Hexi, and secondly, we must let the people migrate to Hexi...... Does Zhang Butang understand? ”

Zhang Sheng suddenly realized, he said why Fang Jifan was so kind, it turned out that it was for this.

Zhang Sheng said: "As you said, this mine is indeed a huge profit for the country and the people, for you and me, hey......"

He shook his head: "Actually, you are right, the gentleman is righteous, the villain is profitable, and the old man is ...... Not a gentleman, after all...... Have your own selfishness. He couldn't help but sigh.

He understood.

Zhang Shengdao: "Since the Zhenguo Mansion wants to open a mine in Hexi, someone has to come to the official document of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to recruit displaced people to Hexi, so it will be issued." ”

Fang Jifan nodded.

Zhang Sheng brushed his beard: "The hair is haired, but if you really want to implement it, it is difficult, although it is good at the top, and effective at the bottom......"

Fang Jifan continued: "There is another sentence, which is called a policy at the top, and a countermeasure at the bottom. ”

"......" Zhang Sheng looked at Fang Jifan: "I didn't expect that you also know a little bit about local affairs." Yes, it is not easy to push the decree. Do you know why, the magistrates are most afraid of the people moving? ”

Fang Jifan thought for a while: "If a magistrate wants to gain a good reputation, he often has to look at the local gentry, and only with the support of the local gentry can they be regarded as good officials, and many gentry are very difficult to provoke." ”

Zhang Sheng nodded again and again: "Yes, that's the truth." Therefore, even if the imperial court or the town government has official documents to put down, most of the magistrates will be indifferent, and even openly and secretly, still prevent the displaced people from leaving the customs, the reason is still on the gentry, the gentry live on the land, the land is in their hands, the more the local population, their land is rented out, the higher the income, but if the young strong force is gone, they want to rent out the land, but the manpower is insufficient, and the income is greatly reduced. ”

Fang Jifan nodded: "I also understand this." ”

Zhang Sheng stared at Fang Jifan: "How do you understand everything." ”

"It's the same as a house, only the population doesn't run, and even increases, whoever has more houses in their hands will earn silver, whether you want to buy a house or rent a house, there are only so many houses, the more people who have a population, the people who benefit from the more houses."

Zhang Sheng smiled: "That's probably the case, so, people...... It's the key, if the population flows out and the gentry suffer, it will inevitably affect the magistrates, and the magistrates want not to do evil to the local gentry for the sake of their own reputation in the eyes of the gentry, so naturally they can't offend the gentry. ”

Fang Jifan said: "What kind of gentry is this, it is obviously a local hero, but it has a different name." ”

Zhang Sheng's face flushed, because his ancestors were also this 'local hero'.

"So, don't be in a hurry in this matter, come, the old man will teach you some methods. First of all, the Zhenguo Mansion issued an official document, preferably, Your Majesty, there must be a will. This is a clear decree, and it gives the magistrate a reason to do what he is ordered. But at the same time, it depends on where there is a large population and where there is little land, and then personally repair the book to him, this kind of thing, no light can be seen, whether it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to repair the book, or the old man to repair the book, in short, you have to let the magistrate, sit back and relax, to tell him, even if someone impeaches him in the future, even if someone slanders his reputation, in the future, he will definitely give him a future, so that he can worry about the future. ”

"In addition, you have to be in danger, do you have a familiar imperial history?" Zhang Sheng looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan shook his head ashamedly: "Hanlin can't succeed, I have more than a dozen here." ”

Zhang Sheng shook his head and smiled: "Hanlin's deterrent power is not enough, or the old man has a few protégés and former officials, but he is on business in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he has to let them send someone to the place and pretend to search something." ”

"Search, why pretend?"

Zhang Sheng smiled again: "Because the search is to startle the snake, tell the local parents in the place, someone above wants to get him, he must be a rumor at this time, the scare is not light, this is a deterrent, on the other hand, secretly protect him, this is called pulling and beating, such a toss, he knows that if he wants to protect himself, he has to come up with thunderous means to get things done, can't do it, can't eat and walk around, even if he has anything to do with the gentry, it won't work." ”

"Of course, for some people who refuse to repent, and disobey the will or the orders of the town government, it is good to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys......"

Fang Jifan's chicken pecked the rice: "You wait a minute, I'll take a note, Teacher Zhang's words are very reasonable." ”

Zhang Sheng made a straight face: "Don't remember, how can you remember such things, brain, use your brain to remember." ”

"Oh." Fang Jifan nodded: "What else?" ”

Zhang Sheng is not in a hurry: "There is also the need to choose the right place, which place, the land rent is unattainable, for example, in some places, a piece of land, rented to the people, is five or five open, that is, half of the harvest is for the gentry, generally for the tenant's own use, which shows that there is a balance between people and land here." But if there is a place, it is actually opened in Sanqi, and the tenants only get 30% of the grain, which means that this place is overcrowded, and most of the fields are monopolized in the hands of the gentry, and a large number of people are living very hard, and it is most appropriate to start from here. Even if the population flows out and the gentry suffer a loss, they will definitely make a fuss, but after all, it is not so that they can't live, so they are just making a fuss, and they won't fight hard. But if you toss this in a place where you are open to five or five, the interests of the gentry will suffer too much, and people will be in a hurry, so they will be desperate. ”

Fang Jifan nodded: "In this way, do they dare to come to the capital to beat me?" ”

Zhang Sheng glared: "You are still young, don't always think that you are a sharp knife, someone else's fish and meat." If you uproot people, don't underestimate the energy of these people. ”

"Oh." Fang Jifan's head: "Is there anything else?" ”

Zhang Shengqi calmed down: "There are still ......"

Zhang Sheng glanced at Fang Jifan complicatedly: "Also, the cabinet, the ministries, and these people in the temple must also let them participate in some shares, in this way, the gentry below will make trouble, and they can also suppress it, just in case." ”

Fang Jifan said: "I have already thought about it, and after they donate the land, I will send them the share deed." ”

Zhang Sheng shook his head: "It can't be like this, you are too straightforward, don't think about using the means to deal with the old man to deal with them, they are not vegetarians, you are like this, you are teasing them, the princes of the court and the central government, they are all people who want to face it, you urge them to donate land, on the surface, it seems that you have won, they knocked out their front teeth and swallowed them in their stomachs, and as a result, you give a sweet date, do you really think that someone will accept your love?" Hmph, you're underestimating them. ”

Fang Jifan was embarrassed: "Yes, yes, then what should I do?" ”

Zhang Sheng said: "Don't mention the matter of donation, this share, it should be given to someone to send it, and it has to be polite, just say that it is a meeting gift for the younger generations to honor them, who should get a thousand shares, who should get five hundred shares, you have to calculate it, you can't give the old man a thousand shares, give the cabinet five hundred." There are also various families in the capital, don't underestimate these British dukes, although the British dukes are sacrificing every day, but there are also ways to do it, not to be underestimated. ”

Fang Jifan's chicken pecked at the rice and nodded: "Understood, how much does the British Mansion and the Wei Mansion give?" ”

"After all, they are coarse, just give 500 shares."

Fang Jifan's body was shocked: "My father is still just a waiter, he is not as good as the duke, you say this, the Fang family is not even as good as the old man." ”

"You can't make an analogy." Zhang Sheng was a little embarrassed.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhang Sheng with admiration: "Why does Uncle Zhang Shi know so many ways, especially when dealing with these heroes and those ...... What the hell ......."

Zhang Sheng was annoyed and ashamed, and couldn't help but want to beat people: "Because the old man is before today, it is the gentry and the ...... you have to calculate."

Eh......

Fang Jifan suddenly realized that he almost forgot, sure enough, the danger of traitors is the greatest, because a betrayer knows himself best.

Fang Jifan actually forgot Zhang Sheng's background, and almost mistakenly thought that Zhang Sheng was a bourgeois GM who represented the advanced productive forces.

"Understood, understood, just do what Uncle Shi said, Uncle Shi's words really made the little nephew enlightened, and he suddenly understood the stakes."

………………

And also.
