Chapter 316: Seeing the Stick
In the face of Dengzhou Taishou's generosity, Yan Shun naturally would not let it go, secretly happy in his heart, and deeply excited by the vision of Wuda.
All this is as the eldest brother expected, the eldest brother is really a god.
Sure enough, coming back these days late, not only did Dengzhou Taishou not get angry, but he was even easier to speak.
Well, it's always like this, you don't always cherish things that are easy to get, but if you are about to lose them, you will be nervous and cherish them.
I don't know whether to say that this is the root of human inferiority.
Whatever it is, though, the big picture is now decided.
In front of the Dengzhou Taishou, Yan Shun immediately implemented the requirements, otherwise, when this Taishou left, he really didn't know what would happen next.
So, Yan Shun immediately pulled Dengzhou Taishou and said with a smile: "Fuzun, here, our business house wants to establish a port here. ”
"Build a port? Isn't that what it is? "Dengzhou Taishou looked at this port and knew that although the conditions here were very simple, it could be regarded as a port.
Yan Shun smiled and said: "Yes, this is indeed a natural port, and there are even many illegal elements still entrenched here, treating this place as a very good port." As far as a port is concerned, it is clearly more than enough here. ”
Speaking of this, Yan Shun changed his words, then shook his head and said, "However, for a business house that wants to make thousands of war horses a year, this place is obviously not enough. ”
"Build, build, just say what you want!" Dengzhou Taishou heard that there were thousands of war horses a year, and if they were all like the two hundred war horses he had just seen, it would really be a good deal.
You know, many of the two hundred high-grade war horses are enough to be at the stallion level.
In this way, the significance of trading here is not only about thousands of horses a year, but also about obtaining a large horse farm!
This credit is put up, and even being promoted to the third level is a trivial matter, and the most important thing is to benefit the country and the people!
Who doesn't know that the Great Song Dynasty lacks horses and good war horses!
Yan Shun nodded with a smile and said: "We don't want anything else, this port is also built by ourselves, but there is one requirement, that is, this port and the surrounding stockades, our business house requires exclusive!" ”
"Exclusive?" Dengzhou Taishou was taken aback, what is this, this is to cede land.
However, when I think about it, this is just buying land like a landlord, so it makes sense, after people spend a lot of money to build a port, they can't do things for nothing.
Businessmen, after all, are unprofitable and can't afford to be early!
Yes, no profit can not be early!
Dengzhou Taishou seemed to have found a suitable reason for himself, so he nodded and agreed: "This is okay, but you have to know that according to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, whenever a field is opened, the imperial court will inevitably appoint officials to monitor it." In turn, the court bought the goods needed first, and then distributed the rest to other merchants. ”
This is the bottom line, after all, this matter involves a wide range of things, and it is not something that can be decided by a mere Dengzhou Taishou, so this point must be adhered to.
In order to prevent Yan Shun from pulling his legs and leaving when he heard this, Dengzhou Taishou continued to add: "It's not that I want to embarrass you, even if it is Quanzhou, the transaction of the field must be carried out under the supervision of the government, and every time the transaction is made by the imperial court." This is the rule of the imperial court! It's not something that can be changed by just one Zhizhou! ”
"It's okay, but, instead of this, it's better for us to pay taxes on time, and we don't have to trouble the adults to send someone to collect it, you know, those guys have very long hands, and our owner is the most unaccustomed to these, I'm afraid that they don't want to stay here." Yan Shun said with a smile.
"Pay your taxes on time?" Dengzhou Taishou heard this, and was stunned for a moment, but then his mind was clear, he had read books, knew a lot of things, and his vision was not low, and he was also the most aware of the greedy faces of those subordinates.
And it's very worry-free, but I'm afraid that the payment of this ransom will be greasy.
For a while, Dengzhou Taishou seemed a little entangled and embarrassed, but Yan Shun didn't open his mouth to urge him, as a big Malaysian dealer, Da Song Ke is definitely a seller's market, not to mention these simple requirements in front of him, even if it is twice as harsh, it doesn't matter.
Moreover, this Dengzhou Taishou has already been reported, and this guy can't afford to lose the big deal that can provide thousands of war horses every year.
Don't worry if he doesn't agree.
Sure enough, after a while, this Dengzhou Taishou saw that Yan Shun looked like an old god, and he was not anxious at all, but he was anxious in his heart, so he asked Yan Shun: "Maybe you can guarantee that you pay on time every month?" ”
"If you can't, Fuzun will send someone to station!" Yan Shun responded with a smile.
"I don't know how much I have to pay? Well? It can't be too little, and if it's too little, I can't hold it down! As soon as Dengzhou Taishou heard that he could really pay on time every month, he added another sentence, but in order to prevent this supplementary condition from scaring Yan Shun away, he deliberately controlled the amount to a negotiable level.
Yan Shun smiled and said: "It's okay, just pay one-tenth of the monthly tax in Dengzhou!" ”
"One tenth!" When Dengzhou Taishou heard this, he immediately happily didn't know what to say.
Originally, he thought that Yan Shun wanted to pay less, but he didn't expect Yan Shun to suddenly raise it to such a height, which he never thought of before.
One-tenth of the tax, when the time comes, as long as you take out 30% of it and do not pay it, you will be very satisfied, and even surprised.
You know, this natural port has never been levied a penny!
Fame and fortune, fame and fortune!
Dengzhou Taishou only felt that his whole body was full of energy, for fear that Yan Shun would slip away like this, so he quickly deigned to take Yan Shun's hand and said: "Okay, a word is decided, so it is decided!" ”
In this regard, Yan Shun naturally agreed with a smile.
One-tenth of Dengzhou's tax is a lot for Dengzhou Taishou, but for Yan Shun and Wuda, it is simply nothing.
Not bad for silver.
Anything that can be solved with silver is not a problem.
With the strong support of Dengzhou Taishou, all this was quickly settled.
In the name of building a port and establishing a horse farm, the Badu people of Zhongyizhuang came over in batches, which was scattered, but it didn't seem very conspicuous.
After all, the wasteland surrounded by Yan Shun is definitely not small.
Anyway, this kind of wasteland can't be cultivated, fished, or salted, so no one wants it at all.
In addition, the horse farm in the pen is not to mention raising 200 horses, which is built according to the specifications of 1,000 horses.
This not only did not arouse the opposition of Dengzhou Taishou, but was encouraged by Dengzhou Taishou.
With all the wasteland that no one wants, you can exchange it for thousands of war horses every year, this transaction is really cost-effective, and it is beneficial to the country and the people!
The port, the field and the horse farm are connected together, forming a large-scale stockade.
There are also a lot of merchants who have been attracted, and this group of people will have to eat, drink, wear and live after they come, so they need to buy food and cloth from Dengzhou people, and they have to hire Dengzhou man-made house carts.
Moreover, with the deliberate arrangement and designated rules of Wuhan University, all the merchants who came to trade had to buy and sell, and a corresponding guide price and minimum price were also formulated.
This makes the vitality of the port suddenly greatly increased, you know, at this time the merchants who come to trade are either visionary, or confident, or have a background, they all have a common characteristic, that is, not bad silver!
In addition, there are the rules formulated by Wuda, so these merchants buy things and hire people at very fair prices, which are well received, after all, the unfair ones have been driven out of the field by Wuda.
And the rise of this port has also deeply affected Dengzhou.
Slowly, the people of Dengzhou found that they had more work, and the yard in the fence became more and more lively day by day, and there were constantly poor people in Dengzhou coming in to find work to do, or to be men, or to be coolies, and those who knew martial arts could also be bodyguards.
Later, not only the poor, but even some Xiangjun soldiers on Jingdong Road also came to work.
Everything is booming.
For this point, Dengzhou Taishou was not worried at all, but was very happy, this is the posture of doing big business and big business, and the two hundred war horses have been bought through various merchants and handed over to the imperial court.
After all, because he was worried that the source of these war horses came from the northern Liao State, even if Yan Shun transported the war horses to Dengzhou, no official dared to buy them directly, and could only buy them in the name of many merchants.
is afraid of stimulating the nerves of Liaoguo and causing trouble.
Yan Shun couldn't help but sneer at this, I really didn't expect these guys' nerves to be so sensitive, so worried and afraid, what kind of official are they doing, what kind of big Song official are they doing.
If you are so afraid, it is better to go directly to Liao.
Once!
However, these words can only be said behind the scenes, the existence of this port is related to the next great cause of going north and crossing the sea, which is an errand ordered by Wu Da himself.
Yan Shun will not affect the overall situation because of his own preferences.
And Dengzhou Taishou was very happy, you know, as soon as the more than 200 war horses arrived at the imperial court, they were snapped up by the princes and nobles, and even those stallions were not left, which made Dengzhou Taishou out of the limelight.
As for when these high-quality war horses will be used in the Great Song Army, hehe, don't worry, anyway, there are thousands of war horses traded every year.
Take your time, when those princes and nobles have had enough, then it will be your turn.
Moreover, this port is near the mouth of the Qingyang River in Dengzhou, quite a distance from Dengzhou Prefecture, and it takes a whole day to arrive at the speed of Dengzhou Taishou riding a horse, so since the first time he confirmed it with Yan Shun, this Dengzhou Taishou has never set foot in the field again, anyway, the monthly taxes are paid on time, which is enough.
And with the increasing prosperity of this field, which is known as Qingyang Port, all kinds of characters from the three sects and nine streams on Jingdong East Road gradually poured here, and there were more and more hooligans and ruffians, and the harassment of merchants happened sporadically.
In fact, the manpower arranged by the University of Israel has already been able to quickly sweep away all this garbage.
But Wuda didn't do this, and there was a reason why he kept this garbage here.
Finally, many merchants united, and they found Yan Shun again, and came to see Dengzhou Taishou together, and asked Dengzhou Taishou to come forward to suppress and maintain order.
However, the people in the coastal area of the Shandong Peninsula are fierce, and they have the benefit of fish and salt, and some people who do not obey the king or sell smuggled salt, or do pirates, usually dare to be rampant and domineering in Dengzhou Prefecture, and flee into the sea when the wind is tight.
Over time, even the government did not want to provoke them easily, and only hoped that they would not make a big deal and live in peace with each other.
As soon as he heard the request of the merchants, Dengzhou Taishou's scalp was about to go numb, so he prevaricated and asked, "But did there be any murder?" ”
Yan Shun and the others shook their heads and said, "This is not true, but if it continues like this, Qinghe Port will have no choice!" ”
Hearing Yan Shun say this, Dengzhou Taishou secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he still looked helpless on the surface, and said regretfully: "Oh, that's a pity, you know, according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, you can't be easily detained if you don't commit a crime, and I can't do anything about it!" ”
"Why don't you set up a patrol village and press it here?" These are not what Yan Shun said, but one of the more related business shopkeepers said that he could clearly see the development potential of this Qingyang Port.
Therefore, I also want to control it from the official side.
As long as you master this inspection village, things will not be easy to do in the future.
However, as soon as this person spoke, everyone else was not happy, everyone was a shrewd person, he could see the development potential of this Qingyang Port, could it be said that others couldn't see it?
If there is a patrol team controlled by a businessman, then how can the others be mixed.
Naturally, he was not happy.
Immediately there was a quarrel, and no one was willing to compromise.
In the end, Yan Shun said: "Why don't we hire some locals in the port to patrol and maintain order, and the money will be shared equally by everyone according to the size of the business?" ”
When the merchants heard this, although there were some who were unhappy, this was at least better than setting up a patrol village.
Moreover, this Qingyang Port is being built by Yan Shun's family, so they all give face and agree to come down.
"And who's in command of this patrol?" There are also merchants who want to ask clearly.
"It's very simple, each of us has a representative to form a chamber of commerce, and it is good to elect a president to command the patrol, the president is not for life, but once a month, if the president can't do it, everyone can also remove him in advance, how about it?" Yan Shun said with a smile.
