In the dead of night, in the backyard of the official office, Yang Ji fell asleep soundly in the bedroom, because he is now the governor of Guangzhou and the assassin of history, so he moved to the official office to stay, so that it is convenient to deal with official business on weekdays. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The furnishings of the bedroom are very simple, except for the necessities of life, there are not many items to show the pomp, which is similar to the temporary residence of Wang Yuwenwen in Xiyang.

However, Yuwenwen is not an ascetic, of course he will enjoy it, but he usually pays more attention to his daily life only in the house, and Yang Ji does not emphasize enjoyment much wherever he is, which is related to his "life experience".

Inexplicably came to this era, Yang Ji from the late Ming Dynasty has always been unable to identify with this world, so even if he wanders in the Chang'an elite circle in the name of "strong training" and does not lack the way to get money, he is like a beggar.

On weekdays, he lives in Buddhist temples all over the world, likes to visit around, helps the princes and nobles build mansions in his spare time, and gives all the money and food to the poor in addition to keeping what he needs.

He doesn't agree with the world, so he has always walked in the world with the mentality of a bystander, quietly watching the events recorded in the history books happen one by one, and quietly watching the joys and sorrows play out again and again.

Everything in this world has nothing to do with him, until he meets the "reborn" Yu Wenwen, everything changes.

Yang Ji, who was lying on the couch, suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and touched the self-defense short knife under the pillow, even if he was asleep, he heard the slight footsteps outside, and immediately reacted.

Pulling out a short knife with a sheath, he quietly pulled out the mosquito net, bent over to the other corner of the room, and listened to the movement outside the room with bated breath.

There are soldiers on duty in the official office, and there are people on duty in the backyard at night, but for Yang Ji, this is not a reason to relax his vigilance, the so-called day and night defense against thieves is difficult to prevent, he acts without guilt, but it is inevitable to provoke villains, and now someone is tiptoeing closer, such a move is too strange so it has to be guarded.

Back then, he was used to being alone, and he must have the heart to guard against people, and the sinister people in this world are not demons and monsters but people, so he is always on guard against thieves who want to make money and kill people.

Even when sleeping, you have to keep your ears up, this habit has been developed and it is difficult to change, Yang Ji quietly waited for the footsteps to approach the door, and the short knife in his hand was slowly unsheathed.

"Boss, boss..."

A low voice sounded, it was Yang Ji's familiar voice, it was his attendant, who was actually drawn from the army, but Yang Ji did not respond rashly, just listened quietly.

There were footsteps again, it seemed that a few people walked into the courtyard, and after a while, whispers sounded, Yang Ji's hearing was very good, and another familiar voice was heard from it, he put the knife into the sheath, slowly got up and walked to the couch and asked, "What's going on outside." ”

"Chief, it's the king here."

"Please wait a moment, my lord."

Yang Ji did hear Yuwenwen's voice, and after getting dressed, he opened the door, but saw Yuwenwen, who was dressed in regular clothes, looking up at the moon in the courtyard, and seeing him go out, Yuwenwen smiled:

"Ah, Mr. Yang, the widow came to visit late at night, and it bothered."

"Your Majesty, why are you so anxious?"

"Let's go inside... Hey, let's go to the study. ”

"Since the king is here, if you don't dislike it, please talk in detail in the room."

Yuwen Wen came over casually and asked in a low voice: "Uh, including Xian Niangzi, it's not easy for the widow to disturb." ”

Yang Ji's face tightened when he heard this, and he explained in a low voice: "King! Xia Guan has been living here alone, and he is innocent with Xian Niangzi! ”

"What is clear, what is white... Alright, let's get in and talk! ”

The attendant lit the oil lamp and retired, leaving only Yuwen Wen and Yang Ji in the room, Yuwen Wen probably explained his intentions, just now he tossed and turned in the accommodation and couldn't sleep, all he thought about was raising funds to repair the plank road, and when he was upset, he simply came to Yang Ji to discuss.

"The widow has thought that no matter how the fundraising is operated, it will inevitably be criticized, so I try to borrow money to raise funds, but this is also difficult, so I want to hear your opinion."

After the opening remarks, Yu Wenwen told his original thoughts, including the plan to issue bonds, Yang Ji woke up from his sleep, couldn't keep up with Yu Wenwen's train of thought for a while, turned out and washed his face, took the opportunity to brew, and when he came back, he already had an idea.

"The king, on this eventful time, you should really use the money and food on hand to raise and train the troops, after all, only by gaining a firm foothold, can you have room for the grand plan, so the lower officials think that if the king really wants to build the plank road, he should indeed borrow money instead of paying for it himself."

"The problem is that how to borrow this money, which can not only avoid being criticized, but also avoid risks, so as to save the future capital turnover and lead to disrepute."

Yang Ji said unhurriedly, in fact, he already had his own ideas about this matter, but he felt that Yuwen Wen had always had many ideas, so it was better to let him come up with the best of both worlds, and now that the other party came to visit late at night to ask for help, then he would be ugly.

Doing a good job of foreshadowing, Yang Ji cut into the topic: "King, do you remember to open the Chinese law?" ”

"Open the middle of the law?" Yuwen Wen was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he showed joy: "Why didn't the widow think of it?" ”

The purpose of opening the law is to let the merchants transport grain to the border areas, solve the problem of the supply of military food for the border army, and as a reward, the government will issue salt according to the weight of the grain transported by the merchants.

Merchants relied on salt to buy salt in the salt-producing areas and sold it for profit, and the government solved the food problem of the border army, and the merchants were able to buy the lucrative salt, in order to kill two birds with one stone.

The opening of the law can be divided into three steps: reporting, guarding the branch, and changing the market, and the newspaper is that the salt merchants transport the grain to the granary in the designated border area in accordance with the requirements of the government's investment promotion list, and exchange it for salt from the government.

Shouzhi means that the salt merchant will take the salt to the designated salt factory to wait for the salt after exchanging the salt, and the salt merchant will transport the obtained salt to the designated area for sale.

The law was first implemented in Shanxi during the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, and then quickly spread to the whole country, after Yongle, the content of Kaizhong gradually changed from nano salt, banknote salt, multiplication to more than ten ways such as salt in nano iron, salt in cotton cloth, salt in Namai, salt in Nama, etc.

The opening of the Chinese law was based on salt as an important medium of material exchange, which not only made Shanxi merchants rise to dominate the business world, but also led to the development of agriculture, handicrafts and commerce, and played an important role in the grain storage, salt industry and commerce in the border areas in the early Ming Dynasty.

In modern terms, this is the government conducting public tenders (where a certain amount of grain is needed) and using hot salt (hard currency) as a means of payment to attract merchants to complete the tender (to transport grain to a certain place).

The Zhenyang Gorge plank road project actually needs a large amount of grain to supply migrant workers, as well as stone, cement, wood, and iron to build the plank road.

Guangzhou's salt farms have been developing salt pans on a large scale, and it is necessary to promote the salt drying method to increase salt production, so even if there is little annual tax surplus left by the Guangzhou Governor's Government, and even if the tax revenue is meager after the completion of the Zhenyang Gorge plank road, as long as there is an inexhaustible supply of salt, it will have a strong ability to repay.

Yu Wenwen was afraid of a bad reputation for fundraising, and he was afraid that the issuance of bonds would attract hungry wolves, but he didn't expect that there would be a big move of "bidding".

"The king, according to the opinion of the lower officials, it is better to try to open the Chinese method, nano salt, cement salt, wood salt, iron salt, with the attraction of salt, not afraid of no money, food, materials to repair the plank road!"
