Chapter 477: Qing Chen's Visit
For the Miao family, Zhao Xin is full of gratitude, it can be said unceremoniously, without the support of the Miao family, I am afraid that on the canal, he died, and later came to Miaojiazhuang, without the background of Miaojiazhuang, it could not survive the Baozhou mutiny later, and later, when he faked his death and left Baozhou, most of his personnel were still Miaojiazhuang personnel.
Without the foundation laid by Miao Jiazhuang for Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin could also develop through the ability of the traverser, but it would definitely not develop so fast.
Zhao Xin is not ungrateful to him, to a certain extent, he and the Miao family are tied together, and he is also extremely helpful to the Miao family.
Zhao Xin is in Miaojiazhuang, although he took away a lot of manpower, but the remaining Miaojiazhuang, which has expanded several times, is still the most profitable of the Miao family, and took away the secret recipe of alkaline noodles, but the steamed bread business in Baozhou City is still handed over to Miaojiazhuang to operate.
Just such a little, a year, no less than 10,000.
Wanguan, may be a very inconspicuous, even not very important number for the Dingjun, even a block of expenditure of the Dingjun, may exceed this number, the terrible speed of development, is brought by a large amount of investment, almost more than 200 million yuan per year, this is still for a county, this is comparable to the huge territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, the entire investment is huge.
It may be that the investment of each square kilometer is more than 1 million, even if there are many capital-intensive factories, but the investment that has really been implemented is also very amazing, transportation, housing, urban infrastructure, after the completion of these one by one, the navy will definitely change its appearance.
Of course, Zhao Xin will not forget that it was Miaojiazhuang, when he was the weakest, he gave great help, except for the Baozhou side, leaving the right to operate soap and steamed buns overseas, every year, he would let Bianliang sell the profits and hand over part of it to Miaojiazhuang.
Bianliang is the first city in the Northern Song Dynasty with a population of more than one million, and any industry here that is closely related to the people at the bottom will create huge profits, according to the simple figure of an average person, consuming 10 Wen, the total amount of a day is 10,000 guan.
What's more, the base of this population is not Bianliang itself, but the 10 million population of nearby Gyeonggi, and the total income of nearly 50 million guan in more than half a year, even if it is Dingjun, most of the profits are deducted, but there are fixed profits, which are set aside.
What is given to Renzong is a fixed 5%, not profit, but total sales, that is, under the premise of 50 million guan, it reached 2.5 million guan, which is a lot of money, of course, it was not given to Renzong for the time being, but opened an account in the bank to save it, waiting for the arrival of Zhao Xin.
The 2.5 million given to Renzong is taken into account by the emperor and some things from the imperial court, which is not only for Renzong alone, but for the Miao family, there are not so many problems.
If it is really 2%, it is 1 million guan, and this wealth is a terrible and unbearable huge amount of money for any family.
Jia Chaochang is a privy envoy, with an annual income of 120,000 yuan, which has already made him bow his head, the Miao family is scarce, the old lady is Renzong's nurse, and the old lady is just an ordinary person in the capital before, and Renzong misses the old love, plus after the Miao family entered the palace, this is slowly developing.
Even if all the branches are connected to the capital, it is impossible to have all the fine clothes and food, there is a distant and close relative, and everyone can live more than food and clothing, so it will not take much at all.
The copper money of the Northern Song Dynasty, purchasing power, is still quite strong, 2 guan monthly forbidden army income, more than a dozen people, even if the food and clothing is a little more, 5 guan is enough to make 10 people food and clothing, the various branches of the Miao family, the sum does not exceed 500 people, according to this standard, 250 guan per month is already good, plus the consumption of the main family, ushered in the send, a year, there is 8000 guan, it is enough.
Zhao Xin also took into account the actual situation and gave a fixed figure of 150,000 yuan a year.
This is a lot of money, you must know that even a prince is only 10,000 guan, 150,000 guan, which is enough for the Miao family to live a rich life.
This is also before, when the concubine was provincial, the Miao family had the ability to build a house, but it was just taken over by Zhao Xin. ,
In this era, the purchasing power of copper coins is strong, and a cow is only about ten guan, 8 to 10 guan per acre, even if it is some excellent thousand thousand horses, it is only about two or three thousand.
150,000 guan, if according to the price of grain, this is counted as the money of later generations, almost tens of millions of guan, especially in Renzong, a relatively stable period of time in the Northern Song Dynasty, and rapid development, copper coins have hardly depreciated.
In the next four or five days, Zhao Xin began to arrange the garden, all kinds of silk, knitwear, and some Ding Haijun are precious handicrafts, regardless of the cost.
The Miao family, as the nominal owner of this house, was full of shock from the very beginning, the garden itself was exquisite enough, it can be said that every step is the scene, but after Zhao Xin's arrangement, it is a bit rich, whether it is crystal clear glass products, or huge glass mirrors, all kinds of precious handicrafts, as well as silk and embroidery, these are all the best of the best.
For the Miao family, the more time passes, the greater the pressure on them, and in less than two days, the concubine will return home, and they must cheer up and ensure that there are no omissions.
On the contrary, Zhao Xin and the concubine in the deep palace didn't care, Zhao Xin understood because he understood that the concubine was just coming to see him, and the concubine was the same, the main purpose was caught, and the rest didn't matter.
It's another busy day, and in the afternoon, all the arrangements have been completed, and the rest are on some details, these Zhao Xin can not intervene, and the Miao family can't be allowed to do nothing at all, how to say, the concubines are all the daughters of the old lady, and the old lady knows very well what he likes.
In the next two days, Zhao Xin wants to recuperate and save taxes, and seeing the concubine is a node for him, and he must go all out.
In the same way, the inexplicable feeling in his body also made him feel that it was a must-see.
I thought that after returning to the Dinghai Hou Mansion, I could rest, but who knew that there was an uninvited guest from the Dinghai Hou Mansion.
When Zhao Xin heard his name, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to slack off, and directly invited him into the living room.
That's right, it was Ye Qingchen, the third envoy, who came to see him.
In the high-level sequence of the Northern Song Dynasty, the three envoys are second only to the head of the Eastern Mansion, the high-ranking officials of the privy envoys, and even as the minister of finance, he has more say than the other two in a certain range.
Zhao Xin's status is very high, Ding Haijun is the envoy, this is real power, and Ding Haijun's financial resources also make him rise.
But except for a few officials of the Privy Council who greeted him at the dock, almost none of them visited the Dinghai Marquis Mansion.
None of the middle-level Beijing officials are willing to come to Zhao Xin, the reason is that this uncertainty, at this time, Zhao Xin is here, not to put the inheritance on the table, that is, to be in an uproar.
Even if Zaisuke rashly enters the whirlpool of inheritance, it is very dangerous, and the sense of smell of middle-level officials is even stronger.
Whether it is the festival envoy or money, these aspects have no way to affect them for the time being, and it is not impossible to give up a road.
These are useless to Ye Qingchen, he is a person, in addition to being shrewd, he is not involved in some party disputes, and he hesitated before to see if Zhao Xin is consistent in his heart.
But now, with such a high-profile approach, even Renzong didn't see him, just to see Miao Guifei, it didn't matter, it proved that he wasn't in the mood yet, so he wanted Ye Qingchen to make the invitation before, of course Ye Qingchen had to respond, and he also wanted to know what the opportunity that Zhao Xin proposed was.
The guest and the host met, it was not the first time for the two sides to meet, and they were also very familiar, and after greeting each other with tea, Ye Qingchen expressed his gratitude to Zhao Xin.
You must know that from the bitter three envoys to the fragrant and gluttonous three envoys, it only took less than a year, from the three divisions to the clean and can run mice, to now, may promote 3 million, or even 5 million projects, the three divisions have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the initiator of all this is Zhao Xin.
If it is said that the funds saved by Zhao Xin made the Northern Song Dynasty's finances reduce expenditures in some aspects, and the financial situation of the Northern Song Dynasty changed from the previous deficit situation to the later profit state, which is indirect support, then the dividends given to Renzong are direct support.
Millions of guan, this is a huge and incomparable improvement for the finances of the Northern Song Dynasty, without this money, some of Ye Qingchen's plans are impossible.
Of course, this time I came to see Zhao Xin, on the one hand, to see what new plans Zhao Xin had, which could make him so confident, and even the plan to come to Bianliang in person was definitely not simple, on the other hand, there were more or less ideas in my heart, whether I could get more support, I had given Renzong so much money in the Daimyo's Mansion before, and now, under the premise of Ding Haijun's better development, it should be more.
This process of meeting lasted for a long time, from Zhao Xin's return, in the afternoon, until late at night, Ye Qingchen did not leave, spanning more than 3 hours.
When it came out, the whole Bianliang had a curfew, of course, this curfew was for ordinary people, and generally at night, there would be a special forbidden army patrolling the streets, and some districts would be closed.
This is the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, during the day, it is crowded, a lively and peaceful landscape, but at night, it is a small area, under a strong defense, independent defense.
These, for a certain level of officials, there is not much binding, some middle-level officials with special powers, can walk at night with a token, and Ye Qingchen is a Zaifu, even has a token to enter the palace, walking in Bianliang at night, that is not a problem.
However, Ye Qingchen on the carriage couldn't say a word, and he was still in shock at this moment.
From the moment he saw Zhao Xin, this shock never stopped, he had overestimated Zhao Xin's vision enough, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xin's vision was so high.
In his hands, there were two thick burdens, which contained the materials of the two projects, and it was these two materials that made Ye Qingchen a little distracted when he left from Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin proposed two huge projects.
These two projects are related to traffic, one is a long-term project, and as long as it is completed, it will greatly change the traffic situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is based on cement, an important material of the fortress, to build a spacious cement road, which is a long-term project, which requires up to five years, or even ten years, uninterrupted investment.
On the other hand, the railway with steel as the core, in Zhao Xin's statement, is more inclined to this, as long as the materials are enough, it is easy to build, and it is a little easier than the cement road.
Ye Qingchen somewhat understood why Zhao Xin came here, his purpose was for this transaction between the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty.
After Han Qi got that large-scale livestock conference in the northwest, the center finally knew that it turned out that there were so many cattle, which had been delivered, and such a huge number of cattle, sheep and horses, of course the center wanted to get it, but after a little understanding, he realized that a transportation problem was enough to restrict the realization of these things.
After a short period of negotiation and consideration, the center was ready to repair the official road from Bianliang to Longxi.
The reason why the Northwest Military Situation costs a lot of money is that if the roads are better, the investment in the Northwest War will be reduced a lot.
However, this repair is just a simple repair, after the economic situation in the Northern Song Dynasty improved, there was no problem in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and there was no problem with taking out 2 million, or even 3 million, not to mention that there was this large amount of livestock trading, even if there was no, building this road and increasing the economic environment of the entire Northern Song Dynasty would be a problem
The key question is how much time it takes to pay, even if it is to mobilize the people's strength, it is also needed, how to pave this road, some say that it is made of cement, but the cement production is limited, the entire Longxi, plus this area of Hebei, the fortifications need to be replaced, from the original city to the fortress.
In this case, the consumption of cement has surged, and the cement obtained from the Ding Navy is not too expensive, but how much is it necessary to build roads, and no one will build cement roads.
was going to find Zhao Xin, but Zhao Xin came to the door, and directly proposed two plans, one of which is the ultimate version of the cement road, which they had thought about but did not put into practice, but this plan was positioned as an alternative by Zhao Xin.
