Anhua County North Fan Gong Ancestral Hall. Unlike other buildings that sit on the north and face south, the pine and cypress forest arch guards a high platform. The high platform is vast, and the ancestral hall of Fan Gong Ancestral Hall only occupies a small part.

The people gathered around the Fan Gong Ancestral Hall, and today they just wanted to see how Shen Yun would worship Fan Xianggong. However, to their disappointment, Shen Yun did not hold a particularly grand ceremony, everything was decent, and there was no omission. It is precisely in this way that the people can't find fault, but they don't have much excitement.

However, in the end, the people who were about to leave suddenly discovered a very interesting thing.

Those polite old Confucians in the past actually gathered around the young magistrate today, and their faces were red and their necks were thick. There was no doubt that they would move their fists and feet in the next moment, and Yao Yao listened to it, it was actually to go to the county school to give a lecture.

Many people wanted to know if these people were hysterical. The state schools are all placed in the county seat, and there are even a few private schools that are better than the county schools, what are these people trying to do, and they have to rush to go out of their own pockets?

A worship ended in the confusion of the people of Anhua and the excitement of many old Confucians. Cen Musheng returned to the mansion with a little loss, and today he finalized the number of lectures within half a year, and no one in their Cen family had a share. In fact, Cen Musheng knew very well that this was a signal sent by Shen Yun to him, telling him that even if there was no Cen family, he would be able to handle the affairs of the county school well.

Moreover, although it costs dozens of dollars to nominally print a book, this kind of thing, Gyeongju Shilin must not be able to stand by coldly. Even if you can't make up the number of lectures, you can make a name for participating in the grand event. No, after the ceremony, there were more than 20 people who offered to contribute money, and the total amount of money was more than 200 yuan.

Shen Yun just paid a sacrifice.

This kind of small and broad means, when Cen Musheng told the old lady of the Cen family, the old man who was over sixty years old praised: "The future is terrible, the future is terrible." Mu Sheng, after the county school lecture begins, you will donate ten acres of school land to the county school on behalf of my Cen family. Also, if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, don't be petty, what does this offspring want to do, just support him. ”

And Shen Yun, who was extremely praised by Mrs. Cen, closed the door and thought about the next way out of Anhua County in the awe of a cadre.

The matter of the county school has been finalized, and dozens of dollars have been spent before and after. This is definitely not a small number, I didn't see that every time Cangcao looked at Shen Yun in the past few days, he had a bitter face. Seeing that Shen Yun has a tendency to leave the county government, he will be even more worried, for fear that this young magistrate will do something to spend money again.

However, to the surprise of the old Cangcao, the magistrate finally opened his head and knew that he was going to start making money.

No, the people who sent someone to invite Shilin actually sent invitations to all the businessmen of all sizes in Anhua County. What does this mean? Today, although the status of merchants has improved slightly, it is not much higher than that of any other dynasty. When the businessman saw the official, he was still frightened, for fear that he would be targeted and his family would be ruined.

Thinking that after receiving Shen Yun's invitation, these people really trembled and began to prepare money, so that they could honor the magistrate when they met. For a while, the shops in Anhua County fell into a strange atmosphere.

Just when everyone was in danger, one sunny morning, in the courtyard of the county government, one by one businessmen were brought in, and they were immediately arranged to sit on straw mats in the courtyard. The usually delicate merchants became extremely cautious at this time, and they didn't even say anything when they met, but just nodded to each other.

In fact, they had already gotten together last night.

No one dares not to give face to this magistrate, they are rich, of course they have some relationships, but the county officials are not as good as the current management, and it just so happens that Shen Yun, the magistrate, is now in charge of them. If you don't come today, it is very likely that Shen Yun will hold a grudge, and then you will incur any revenge, and it is unknown. Shen Yun's appearance in the county school has already made some people start to mumble in their hearts.

In almost everyone's hearts, they all felt that Shen Yun would reach out and ask for some benefits. However, the truth was somewhat unexpected.

Shen Yun did not wear a public uniform today, but came to the courtyard in a cloth suit. After calmly accepting the visit of this group of merchants, he nodded: "Sit, everyone sit." As he spoke, he took the lead in sitting cross-legged on the mat. A group of businessmen were a little surprised, they didn't expect that Shen Yun would do this.

Shen Yun saw the caution of these people. With a hint of a smile, Shen Yun did not get straight to the point, but told a story to the group of businessmen: "Let everyone come today, although rest assured, Shen will not make any mandatory requirements, and even the county government will not accept any of you congratulatory gifts." So, I know that everyone is here with baggage, and they still go back with them. ”

Shen Yun's words made these businessmen even more nervous. He Yi brought by so many people didn't want it, obviously this young magistrate had a great appetite. It's just that it's hard to say whether these people can meet this person's requirements.

Finding that his words did not make these people relax, but had the effect of exacerbating their nervousness, Shen Yun could only shake his head: "That's it, it seems that if you don't talk about things, you still have to continue to be careful." I know that all of you here, in addition to legitimate business, will more or less lend. ”

"However, after the Seedlings Method, life is becoming more and more difficult for you. I am here today to discuss with you and find a way for the people, merchants and county officials to benefit. ”

After Shen Yun said these words, many businessmen secretly despised them in their hearts. The hairy child who doesn't know anything about business is so ashamed. If such a solution can be figured out, why is Anhua so depressed. None of you here are stupid, this kind of thing has been discussed not ten times but eight times, but it has been almost a year since the promulgation of the Seedlings Law, and no one can discuss another way.

"I won't hide it from you, not only are you having a hard time, but this county is also having a hard time. A large part of the Great Song Dynasty's taxes come from commercial taxes, and if you don't manage well, the county will collect less taxes. For a long time, you see, this county government is in tatters, and there is no money left over to clean up. Therefore, you should not doubt the mood of this county. ”

Shen Yun is familiar with the nature of the commodity economy, so in the face of the environment of Gyeongju, within the rules, he still has some compulsion to think of a solution.

"Anhua is most famous for three things. Purple velvet white felt, musk, and yellow wax. It is usually used as a tribute, and it is famous all over the world. These three things, musk can not be found, but the other two, purple and white felt, have the county government to organize everyone to operate together; Yellow wax stone is mined by the county government and hired by the people, and you can buy and sell it to other places. ”

I have to say that it is really a very convenient thing for the mineral resources to be nationalized and the county still has the right to dispose of them. There are mines in the mountains near Anhua County, and this thing is like bloodstone in Shilin. Many celebrities wish they had a seal carved with the finest yellow wax.

Tribute, although it is a tribute to the royal family, ordinary people can still use it if they have the conditions. As long as Shen Yun guarantees that the amount of tribute paid every year will not be too small, or even if it is small, as long as it is a high-quality product, it is enough. Anhua County is already poor, and if the emperor wants to pursue this, then there are really few people in the world who are willing to come here.

The businessmen were overjoyed.

You must know that as long as you carry the name of tribute, the goods are generally very easy to sell, and the price will be much higher. It's just that Shen Yun's next words made these merchants suddenly a little embarrassed: "My request is to buy wool from Western Xia as much as possible; Each piece of felt must take out 20% of the income as the remuneration of the helper, and the county has the right to randomly inspect the felt you are waiting for, if the quality is not as good as the tribute, then wait to be cleaned up by the county. ”

Shen Yun's three requirements almost set the standards for material sources, labor and quality, which must be extremely difficult to accept for these profit-seeking businessmen.

"County Zun, this felt came back from the wool bought in Western Xia, the cost is already a bit high, and if you give the mercenary 20% of the profit, wouldn't it be too little for me to fall. What's more, if the felt reaches the quality of the tribute, it will take too long. At this point, we can't accept it. ”

It's hard to accept, it's not that it's unacceptable. Shen Yun knew very well the subtext of this sentence, that is, he wanted Shen Yun to come up with more benefits. If you suffer a loss on the felt, you will naturally take advantage of the yellow wax. However, Shen Yun is very aware of the preciousness of this non-renewable resource, and if he makes concessions, then Anhua will get benefits for a while, but what about the yellow wax mining?

Just like the blue and white porcelain in the south, the pigment ore is still abundant, but it was mined out in the Qing Dynasty, and later generations can only use chemical synthetic pigments, and the effect is not a little bit worse.

"If you don't want to do it, you can not do it, and the county will naturally find someone who wants to do it. It's just that if the county finds out that you and others are selling tribute privately, don't blame the county for being ruthless. "If you don't give these people a little color, you really think you're good at talking. Tribute, even if these merchants are forcibly requisitioned, they don't dare to make irresponsible remarks, Shen Yun can completely use this to make them ruined.

Moreover, even if the cost is higher and made into a high-quality product, the selling price will definitely be higher, and there is no possibility of losing money at this kind of thing.

A group of businessmen fell silent in an instant.

They have to think carefully about the gains and losses, after all, even if they shout that they want to lose, they will actually make money. It's nothing more than a matter of earning more and earning less. However, Shen Yun then told these pieces of news that made them completely discolored.

"In less than three months, the current Seedlings Law will be abolished. However, the cabinet that replaces it will have lower interest rates for borrowing from the people, and many of the drawbacks of the Seedlings Law will be made up for today. If you want to continue to borrow money to make money, you don't have to think about it from now on. ”
