Chapter 472: The Wonderful Use of Investment
Shao Yong is an easy-to-learn master, in other words, an old god stick, a big liar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He made friends with a wide range of people, from princes and nobles to peddlers and pawns. But speaking of which, the one friend he regrets making the most is Tracy Feng!
This son of the Cui family is knowledgeable, personable, famous, financially strong, and impeccable in all aspects, but he only underestimates one thing, that is, his ambition!
In fact, Shao Yong could see that this guy was a careerist, but he didn't expect him to start so quickly, nor did he expect that he would lose so badly!
The steamed bun who guarded Shao Yong was very loyal, but he was also very broken-mouthed, he knew that Shao Yong was the current master of Yixue, so he couldn't help but ask him for advice, between the words, full of worry and regret, Shao Yong figured out what was going on through a scale.
At first, the Cui family was just afraid that Zhao Zhen's relocation of the capital would destroy their business in the northwest, so they wanted to create an incident and scare Zhao Zhen away.
As a result, Zhao Zhen saw the move and brought Wang Ning'an here, but instead slashed at the salt merchants in the northwest.
As the largest private salt merchant, the Cui family had no choice but to take advantage of the salt crisis to persecute the imperial court, but they were pushed back by Sima Guang, and this time they inadvertently exposed their relationship with Western Xia.
At this point, the imperial court had already moved to kill, and the Cui family had to fight back until they opened the weir and drowned 100,000 people...... Things got bigger and bigger, completely out of control, and finally the sky was angry and out of control.
Even the most loyal Baoziyan is stupid, he feels that his son-in-law is completely unreasonable, and he can't listen to any persuasion, just like a crazy gambler, knowing that he is losing, and he has to bet on the only capital again and again, Baoziyan feels that he will not be surprised to sell him next time.
……
"Mr. Yaofu!"
Cui Xifeng didn't know when, he came to Shao Yong's residence, Baoziyan hurriedly put away his misery, and squeezed out a smile that was not much better than crying, but what he got was Cui Xifeng's angry gaze, which frightened him so much that he rolled and crawled and left quickly.
Sitting opposite Shao Yong, Cui Xifeng suddenly laughed out loud and said arrogantly: "I won!" ”
Shao Yong remained silent and smiled faintly, "Then congratulations to the son." Now that the son has won, can you let the old man go! ”
"No way!"
Cui Xifeng said viciously: "Mr. Yaofu, do you think I'm joking? ”
"Don't dare, it's just that Cui Gongzi takes the old man too seriously, I'm just a savage in the rivers and lakes, even if I have some reputation, it's just a deception and a stealing name, if the son wants to achieve the hegemony of the king, what he needs is the talent of the world, the old man can't help the son, and he doesn't want to mistake himself."
Cui Xifeng sneered again and again, "Mr. Yaofu still looks down on the Cui family. might as well tell you, the Great Song is over! ’
Seeing that Shao Yong was silent, Cui Xifeng had no choice but to continue: "This flood, 100,000 people drowned, millions of people were destitute, 5 million people were homeless, and more than a dozen prefectures had no grain harvest!" I'm afraid that since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been such a serious disaster! How much financial resources does the imperial court have to provide relief to so many victims? What's more, the flood washed away many roads, and all the way from Hebei to Yongxing Military Road were cut off - yes, I sent someone to break it! ”
Cui Xifeng looked up to the sky and laughed like crazy, "As long as I wait for another month, the people will starve to death, at that time, I will ascend and shout, and the world will respond, and in an instant, the northwest is mine, no one can stop it, what Wang Ning'an, what Sima Guang, are not my opponents!" ”
He said it very proudly, but in Shao Yong's ears, he was a little nervous, and his heart was weak. If you're really sure, why bother looking for me, a charlatan.
Pity the front seat in the middle of the night, don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods!
This act alone revealed Cui Xifeng's weakness.
Seeing that Shao Yong was still silent, like an elm pimple, Cui Xifeng was really anxious.
"The surname is Shao, I ask you, you have to tell the truth!"
Shao Yong smiled calmly, "Young Master Cui, Shao is in your hands, naturally there is no end to words, but Shao's knowledge is also limited, and he may not be able to help Gongzi." ”
Cui Xifeng didn't care about the second half of the sentence, but said irritably: "I don't understand!" From the very beginning, I couldn't figure it out! Their actions were too unexpected, didn't the Great Song Dynasty believe that the Han and the thief were not separated? How could it be that Lisishia! Didn't they never be merciful to the rebellion of the people? Why do you let it go gently? Didn't they share the world with the scholars? Why can Wang Ningan let go of killing people, there was news just now, Zhao Zhen actually set a trap to force the gentry in Luoyang to take out tens of millions of yuan, aren't they just bullying the common people......" The faster Cui Xifeng spoke, the stronger the anger in his heart became, and he was also terrified and confused.
He thinks that he has a subset of history, how many means the imperial court has, he knows in his heart, and he also understands how much ability he has.
He designed that if the army was defeated, and if he was replaced by a timid emperor, he would choose to abandon Luoyang, or at least postpone the relocation of the capital.
Obstructing the green salt of Western Xia, inciting fluctuations in salt prices, and instigating the imperial history book, the imperial court will bow its head.
If you instigate civil unrest, the court should be killed, and no mercy will be tolerated!
……
No matter what the court does according to the routine! He can continue to fan the flames, provoke conflicts between the gentry and the court, and provoke the anger of the people......
It's just that this time he faced an enemy with a completely different style and never played according to his routine.
Now that the Cui family has even used the means to open the embankment, no matter how Cui Xifeng calculates, he will win, but he has never been able to let go of his heart, and he will even become more and more afraid, and he will be in fear all day...... Because he never knows what his opponent will do!
This taste was so uncomfortable that he had to ask Shao Yong for advice, wanting to get a little inspiration from the gods and ghosts.
"Mr. Yaofu, please help me do the math, what are my chances of winning?" Cui Xifeng stared at Shao Yong tightly, his breath was short, and his eyes were hot, like a crazy gambler.
Shao Yong is very wise, if he continues to pretend to be garlic, this madman will kill him!
Shao Yong took out three copper coins, shook them in the delicate tortoise shell, and poured them in the palm of his hand, all rushing head-on, twice in a row, all like this!
Without waiting for Shao Yong to speak, Cui Xifeng slapped happily.
"Yuan Henry Zhen, go up and down...... Mr. Yaofu, could it be that God is on my side? ”
"Providence is like this, the right path is straight, and naturally there is no disadvantage!" Shao Yong said lightly, Cui Xifeng was overjoyed and left happily.
Looking at his back, Shao Yong shook his head secretly, he put away the copper coin, and sneered secretly.
inflated the price of salt, colluded with Western Xia, opened the embankment, and mutilated the living ...... The Cui family has indeed been proud for too long, and in your eyes, they are just ants!
Where is there any right way to go straight, and I want to be blessed by Providence, what a dream!
Shao Yong was forcibly detained by Cui Xifeng when he visited him.
Now that the Cui family is not far from death, they must think of a strategy to get out...... Shao Yong stared at the bun eye, maybe he could open a gap from him, the old god stick thought.
……
The students trained by Wang Ningan have a little bit of his temperament, they are not people who can endure hardships and suffer without regrets, but they all know that when it is time to endure hardship, they must endure hardship! When it's time to give, you have to give.
And they have won the true biography of Wang Ning'an, and their calculations are very clear.
Prepare for the establishment of Xijing Bank, and use the power of the bank to provide relief to the victims. This is a very dangerous act.
Banks are profit-oriented, while disaster relief is a loss-making business.
If it is not handled well, and tens of millions of yuan are lost, and no profit can be made, then it will completely offend the gentry and bureaucrats in Luoyang. On the contrary, blindly thinking about making money, squeezing the victims, and driving them to a dead end, even if there is no chaos in the Cui family, something big will happen...... From the very beginning, everyone didn't regard the Cui family as a real opponent, because they overestimated themselves!
As the first project of disaster relief, is the royal street opposite the palace, Wang Ning'an has developed in Kaifeng, and now it has been basically completed, although the capital has been moved to Luoyang, but Kaifeng is still the center of the world, and the commercial hub where materials gather.
The price of land in Yujie has skyrocketed by 5 times, and large transactions, horse racing, finance, logistics, these industries bring tens of millions of taxes every year.
With Zhuyu in front, Luoyang can handle it according to the law, and after having cement, the cost of building in Luoyang is lower.
In the first batch, 200,000 young people were recruited to participate in the Yujie project, each person could receive 500 wen per month, and the imperial court and Xijing Bank provided two meals a day.
In a year of great disaster, even if there is no money, just being able to eat is enough to attract countless people.
200,000 people, in less than half a month, the recruitment was completed.
The next step is to rebuild the river embankment, which is also a non-negotiable matter, with local taxes to provide guarantees, open the regular position, each laborer can receive 2 catties of grain a day, work for half a month, and pay 100 yuan.
To be honest, this amount of money is really pitiful, but for the people, they are already very satisfied, very satisfied, and the construction of the embankment is for their good, even if they work in vain, they should be.
The third item is to build roads.
With the experience of Pingxian and Youzhou, even the most confused Dasu knows how to operate.
First of all, it is necessary to examine the property situation of each county, and then estimate the number of merchants in the future, and calculate the tax revenue that a road can bring.
With taxes as collateral, he borrowed money from Xijing Bank.
Do what you can and live within your means.
You can't dare to invest, and you can't learn from Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Yang of Sui, and be overly invested......
Within a month of the disaster, various projects were carried out one after another, absorbing a total of 1.3 million people.
And as the various projects are carried out, the cement workshop needs manpower, the quarry needs manpower, the timber mill needs manpower, the carriage and horse shop responsible for transportation, and the workshop that makes the carriage also needs manpower......
After having so many workers, there are restaurants to eat, bathing halls, ready-to-wear shops, straw sandals, melons and fruits, and breakfast......
Investment in engineering will first drive the manufacturing industry, and then drive the service industry...... The number of employed people has increased exponentially.
After some tossing, instead of the people's livelihood withering and miserable, the northwest has revealed a hint of prosperity...... Even if everyone is still in abject poverty, they can only eat half-full, and some people are starving and fainting on the construction site...... But it doesn't matter, because there is hope.
The biggest mistake made by the Cui family was to underestimate the people's ability to bear it, and there were not many options left for them......
