Chapter 305: Cities Make Life Better
The worm is light and said! "This official invited a lot of Jin merchants from Shanxi tonight to put all the materials they had hoarded in the capital to Fangshan, and the prices should be able to stabilize, and after a while, I will also contact the merchants stationed in the Huguang Guild Hall. Let them put some more rice and grain, the lake is ripe, the world is full, the official believes. Not only will the prices in Fangshan not be as high as they are now, but they are even lower than those in ordinary counties. ”
As far as feudal society is concerned, because of poor transportation and communication, prices vary greatly from place to place. It is greatly affected by the season and the number of goods. Before the silver standard was established, the state stabilized prices by intervening in the market with grain stored in state warehouses.
But in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, because of the great abundance of the commodity economy, relying on grain alone was no longer enough to have a certain impact on prices. Therefore, the influence of state regulation on the market is also getting lower and lower. Sun Dan introduced a large number of commodities into Fangshan, which was a good method.
Hearing him say this, Zhong Haoshen thought about it carefully and put their hearts at ease.
Sun Dan's explanation is not unacceptable.
But Guo Pu, Mu Shouli, and Guo Hong were originally here to make trouble, how could they let Sun Dan pass easily.
Seeing that everyone was no longer making trouble, Guo Hong sneered loudly and looked at Sun Dan: "It turned out to be you." He had already recognized Sun Danlai, and this guy on the seat turned out to be the little showman who had inserted a bag in Biyun Temple and bought Tang Bohu's painting from himself?
Sun Dan appeared at Guo Hong at this time, and his jaw was slightly: "It turned out to be you, don't come to harm?" ”
Sun Dan ignored Mu Shouli next to him, which made Mu Xian Chengda angry, and he also knew that tonight was the time to completely turn his face with Sun Dan, and things had already reached this point, and there was no room for reconciliation. He sneered and said to Sun Dan: "Lord Sun, this is Guo Hong, the little marquis of the Wuding Marquis Mansion, who took the order of the marquis to review the gains and losses of Fangshan's politics. ”
Guo Xun was in charge of the garrison and security of the capital, because the Beijing camp had to be obtained from the local government as needed, and the local civil affairs could also be appropriately intervened.
Sun Dan heard Mu County admit to see Guo Xun pull it out, pulling the tiger skin as a banner, and he was amused in his heart. Guo Xun is such a treacherous and slippery character, he naturally knows that he must have come to Fangshan to pilot the tax reform because of the emperor's will, so he will not come to this troubled water. He had such a big quarrel with Guo Pu, and Lao Guo also ignored it, because he also knew that Sun Dan was willing to do everything he did. If he really wanted to interfere, he would have already interfered, how could he send his son over to find it uncomfortable.
It is certain that this is just Guo Hong's personal behavior, and there is no need to take it seriously.
Guo Hong saw that Sun Dan recognized himself, and said: "Who am I, it turns out that Sun Dan is you, you are so famous, your lord is so famous, and your name is spread in the capital, saying that you are a first-class celebrity in the sea." But when the little marquis saw that you were doing these sloppy things in Fangshan, it was not worthy of your reputation at all. ”
Sun smiled lightly: "Sun Dan is worthy of His Majesty the Emperor in what he has done, and he is worthy of the people of Limin, he has a clear conscience, and he doesn't need to explain it to you as an ordinary showman." You don't have an official body, and you are not a Fangshan Shizhong, and you suddenly came to Fangshan to review the gains and losses of your official government, if you really get Guo Hou's order, please show Guo Hou's warrant and relevant documents. ”
"You" you really can't take it out. Guo Hong put his hand into his arms and didn't take out anything for a long time. He didn't have the so-called warrant documents, but he refused to lose in momentum, and only hated and said: "My father is such a noble person, and his warrant is not allowed to be shown to you."
Sun smiled lightly, ignored him anymore, and continued to say to the villagers in Fangshan: "Now I'll talk about health issues, everyone has also seen recently, because there are too many outsiders in Fangshan, so that the thatched houses are not enough, and several public thatched houses on the street are full, plus there are people who defecate in the open, and the whole Fangshan City stinks." In the past, the feces and urine of the thatched houses in the city were good fertilizer, and as far as the officials knew, some people had fought in order to transport dung. But now, because there is too much feces and urine, there is a lot of money and a lot of money. Now it's pouring money to let people get lucky, and people are not happy! ”
The crowd in the hall laughed quietly.
"But you don't have to worry about that. This official has two measures to be implemented from tomorrow, which should be able to return a clean and tidy home to the people of Fangshan. Speaking of this, Sun Dan shouted at Song Qingsong: "Song Qingsong, you come to tell everyone." ”
Song Qingsong walked to the center of the hall and said in a loud voice: "Master Sun has set up a chengguan law enforcement brigade with me, in addition to being responsible for transporting feces out of the city on weekdays, he also patrols the city every day, and anyone who is caught defecating in the open will be fined a penny. ”
Hearing Song Qingsong say this, everyone nodded: "This method is good, no one dares to mess around." If it's convenient anywhere, isn't it a big deal for your wallet? ”
Mu Shou asked with a cold face: "How did you set up a law enforcement team, and who allowed it." In order to set up this law enforcement brigade, it is not enough to rely on the officials in the yamen, and it is necessary to recruit new people, and the official will never agree to where this part of the expenses will be paid from. ”
Song Qingsong arched his hand: "If you go back to the county to meet the adult, Master Sun said that the salary of this newly increased member does not need to be spent in the yamen. ”
Mu Shouli was a little puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”
Sun explained lightly, saying, "Didn't everyone say that Fangshan is dirty and messy? In addition to the people, but also because there are so many small stalls and vendors in Wuwu, the official is going to concentrate all these vendors in one place, and make a small farmers' market, and each stall will charge a booth fee of Ziwen Qian every day. ”
"Compete with the people, Wang Anshi, you are the Wang Anshi of our Fangshan!" Mu Shouli stood up suddenly, pointed at Sun Dan and shouted: "From ancient times to the present, people have gone into the city to sell vegetarian vegetables and sundries, and they have never been taxed by the government. ”
Guo Hong also shouted: "Ridiculous, ridiculous, even Jingshi didn't do this, your grandson is really whimsical!" No, I have to tell my father about this and let him see what this Sun Dan has done? ”
Sun Dan ignored the clamor of these two, in his opinion, these two people did not represent the interests of the entire Fangshan Shizhong class, as long as they dealt with the group of heroes present, Guo Hong, Guo Pu and others would be treated as if they were farting.
Sun Dan raised his voice and said: "The official of this market doesn't want the government to come forward, and besides, my Sun Dan doesn't have such a big place." A large market requires at least sixty acres of land. In this way, all the gentlemen here who have such a large land on the outskirts of the city may wish to contribute, and half of the booth fee collected by each stall every day can be kept for themselves, and the other half will be given to the Chengguan Law Enforcement Brigade, and after the Chengguan Law Enforcement Brigade has opened its salary, the surplus part will be charged to the state treasury. ”
As soon as these words came out, the stone broke the earth, and with a "boom", there was a commotion below. All the Haozhong were discussing each other, and everyone was making their own little calculations.
As Sun Dan said, if the stall fee is divided between the government and them, at least 1,000 stalls can be set up in a large market of 60 acres. Every day, more than 3,000 wen is earned. In a month, it is more than 60,000 yuan. You don't have to do anything, even if you lie on the bed, there will be white flowers of silver flowing down. Such a good thing has gone beyond their imagination.
It turns out that money can still be made like this!
Sure enough, someone couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and stood up suddenly: "It's done, let me do it, I still have a quick open space in the west dam of the city, and you can use it with a simple tinker." ”
It was the same person who spoke earlier, and he had recently hoarded a lot of land. Chengxi Dam was originally on the outskirts of the city, and there was no way to get rid of it in the short term, so it was just right to use it for this vegetable market.
Seeing that the show took the lead, the others were not happy. Someone shouted: "Guo Xiucai, you are really clever." My family also has a territory in the west of the city, and I can also contribute it, so why should you be cheaper. Master Sun, I am also willing to do this. ”
Guo Xiucai was furious: "What are you doing, do you want to rob my business, who is it?" As he spoke, he moved into a real fire, and stepped forward and twisted the man's neckline.
The man didn't admit defeat either, and he twisted into a ball with Guo Xiucai.
When everyone saw the commotion, they all made an uproar: "Beat, beat, beat him." ”
"Lord Sun, I also have land in the east of the city, just leave it to me."
Seeing that it was really unpleasant, Mu Shouli was so angry that his beard stood up: Sun Dan is so insidious, a vegetable market will pull the townsmen of Fangshan to his side, and if it continues like this, it will really become a farce tonight.
He shouted angrily: "What are you doing, what kind of system have you become, are you still reading the books of the sages?" ”
Everyone was silent at the same time.
Mu Xiancheng: "It's ridiculous, I don't think this market will be done." ”
"No, Master Mu, how can you say that if you don't get it, you won't get it?"
"Mu Shouli, Master Sun has spoken, what do you have to do in a county, what do you have to do, but you come to act on your behalf. Let's listen to Master Sun. ”
"Yes, yes, we listen to Master Sun about this."
As one mind, people's hearts began to subtly move closer to Sun Dan's side.
Sun Dan was overjoyed and said, "You don't have to fight, you can negotiate and solve the matter of the vegetable market." The official took a look at it, and the situation was relatively spacious on the ground quickly, and it was just right to use it as a market, and if you also want to participate, you can implement the shareholding system. Divide Kuang Xiucai's land into several pieces, buy it at the usual price, and participate in it as a share. Guo Xiucai, how about this method? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, this is good?" Those who are interested in participating in the shares are applauded at the same time.
Although Xiucai was unwilling, he knew that the county lord said so, and the crowd was surging on the scene, if he didn't agree, he was afraid that he would become everyone's public enemy, so he had to nod helplessly: "But according to the master's orders." "Someone is responsible for transporting manure, managing the streets, and setting up a vegetable market, and this official will definitely be able to give you a clean and refreshing Fangshan County." Cities can make life better. Sun Dan's words changed: "Now let's talk about whether to encourage business, just now it was just a mustard seed in a vegetable market, and the big profit made the princes excited." Let's think about it, if it weren't for the fact that there are a large number of immigrants in Fangshan, you would build such a big vegetable market, and who would sell the vegetables to, and who would collect the stall fees. It can be seen that this business is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, which not only increases the national tax revenue, but also makes the pockets of each person bulge. It's just a vegetable market, how much money can be made, if this official wants to get this weaving bureau, the annual profit will be a thousand times your current income. ”
