Chapter 53: Sprout (II)
"At present, the Southern Hui merchants, the Northern Jin merchants, let's not talk about the Hui merchants, just look at how the Jin merchants succeeded. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen Yu said: "There are only two secrets, honest business, partnership. Integrity is the premise of a businessman's success, but they know how to share the risk, and the partnership will take the risk to the minimum, which is also the reason why those Jin merchants are gradually growing. ”
"Now why don't we follow the example of Jin merchants and gather all these big households and operate together? In this way, they have both interests and a good reputation, and they only have to pay for the small amount of food, and I believe that those big families will not refuse. Chen Yu said confidently.
Wang Jing looked at Chen Yu, pondered for a long time, and said, "Are you thinking about the people or yourself?" ”
"Think about the people and take care of yourself at the same time." Chen Yu said with a smile: "Adults don't have to be careful, students just think about how to solve the problem at the moment, and just talk about things." ”
"Well, go ahead." Wang Jing said.
"Now that the textile industry is thriving, if the Chamber of Commerce can unite and set up textile factories together, the workers will be employed by the displaced people who have been incorporated by adults, so that the workers have both a living guarantee and a source of livelihood, which is a good thing for a win-win."
Chen Yu said: "The profits of the textile industry, those who often go to Songjiang and Suzhou are not unseen, and some people follow suit, but they are not a big deal, if they can unite all of these and organize a large-scale workshop, they only need to invest, this management, business I Chen family is fully responsible, give them net profits at the end of the year, not only do not delay their business, but also make money, what is needed is only a meager grain for each family, I believe these people will weigh the pros and cons." ”
"Hehe, the old man knows that the ultimate beneficiary of this is still your Chen family!" Wang Jing said angrily, but there was no better way at the moment, he said: "You still raise people, you can do such a bad job." ”
"If you can convince them, why don't you let them donate food earlier?" Wang Jing figured out the crux of the problem, and was almost surrounded by this kid.
"It's easy to open a workshop, but there is not enough manpower!" Chen Yu sighed: "Students are just involved in more fields, where is there no serious business!" ”
"Hmph, if you can't pass the Jinshi exam next year, it depends on what your teacher says about you!" The teacher Wang Jing refers to is naturally Chen Yu.
"This matter of the displaced people is easy to arrange, and the imperial court has issued an order this year to strictly supervise the officials and investigate the local displaced people. Those who have lived for a long time and have a family and are unwilling to return will be ordered to attach to the family and be exempted from food for three years. If you are alone and have no property, and have recently escaped from the status of a military craftsman, etc., you will return to your place of origin. Then it's decided, let's go gather grain soon. Wang Jing said.
"My lord, this food is only enough for ten days, and the relief food from the imperial court must arrive quickly, otherwise after ten days, the market will change greatly." Chen Yu kindly reminded.
"I'm going to rush it, the sooner you are, the better!" After Wang Jing finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
In the past few days, Wang Jing's pressure has become more and more intense, and the supervision of the imperial history Wang Jing has already played the imperial court, saying that he Wang Jing asked for favoritism, neglected and wasted things, and begged the court to release him back into the field, but this matter was suppressed by the imperial court.
Driven by interests, those rich people listened to the Chen family's suggestion, weighed the pros and cons, and took out the grain one after another, after all, this little food is just a drop in the bucket for them, if it is really as the Chen family said, they can sit on the profits in the future, if the Chen family does not say, they will not lose anything.
Although the grain market has risen in the past few days, it is only a windfall profit, and a few days later, the snow storm has passed, and these merchants will suffer a thousand infamy. Instead of that, it's better to fight with President Chen.
Of course, this is only the idea of some people, and there are still most people who are unwilling to put grain on the market.
Two days later, the grain in Hangzhou was finally eaten, and there were more and more displaced people, and there was a great deal of gathering to make trouble, and the window for distributing grain in Hangzhou was surrounded by a large number of ordinary people and displaced people.
There are not only the people of Hangzhou Prefecture, but also the displaced people from the rest of the affected provinces, and the displaced people are still a minority compared to the common people, but if this group of people is not handled well, the ranks of the displaced people will be expanded.
Wang Jing anxiously put grain at the window of Hangzhou Mansion, he knocked on the desk with both hands, and asked the little official Chen Yu from time to time if the grain had been gathered, but the little official always gave only one answer, and he didn't see Chen Yu's grain.
"Could this Chen Yu be able to play tricks on himself?" Wang Jing slandered: "It's just that I was too anxious at the time, how could I listen to a child's words?" ”
He is just making excuses for himself, after all, whether he listens to Chen Yu's advice or not, the result is still the same, it's just that people like to make excuses and push the blame.
"Let's go, go to the commander of the embassy!" Wang Jing said: "Mobilize troops!" ”
"Your Excellency." The little official asked in disbelief, "So you ......?"
"What are you thinking about at this time? If there is a rebellion, how many people will suffer? The only thing that can be done is suppression, and all the responsibility is borne by Wang Tingcai alone! ”
"Your Excellency!" Another little official ran in anxiously, and said breathlessly: "Outside...... ...... outside"
"But there's a commotion?" Wang Jing's heart tightened, and it was over.
"Putting grain!" The little official said.
"What? Grain? Where does the food come from? Isn't the grain stock in Hangzhou run out? Wang Jing couldn't react a little.
"Chen Yu, the Chamber of Commerce, has pulled a big horse of food supply." The little official said.
"Let's go, get out!" Wang Jing said excitedly, and ran out first, and the little official behind him picked up the fur hat and cloak and walked out with Lord Wang.
The snowflakes are still fluttering, and in the snow, there is a little girl standing next to Chen Yu, looking at herself with a smile, her smile is so pure, like snowflakes, spotless.
Did this kid do it? Did it really happen? What bothered him that he couldn't do it was actually done by an eighteen-year-old child?
There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years!
The small households in Hangzhou mistakenly thought that this was another strategy of the government, they thought that this grain must not be enough for the market to eat, so the price of grain still did not pick up, one day, two days, three days passed, the government grain was still being distributed, and then the rich businessmen were anxious, and the price of grain began to drop until it was as low as the government, but still no one bought it.
Seeing that there were more and more grain stockpiles, and as soon as the snow disaster passed, these grains had no value, so they began to reduce the price, which was even lower than that of the government, and the grain in Hangzhou was originally 500 wen and one stone, but now it has been reduced to 400 wen.
Seeing that the market gradually regained its balance, Lord Wang was like the peach blossom in February, with a smile on his face, and a few days later, the food for disaster relief and the silver from the household department finally arrived, and the crisis in Hangzhou was over.
Lord Wang immediately wrote a seal and prayed to the scholars on the grounds of the snow disaster, and Emperor Hongzhi replied: The snow disaster is the will of heaven, and I am not appropriate, and you will deal with it very well, and you will not allow it.
Don't think that Lord Wang really wants to be a scholar, he still has a lot of things to do, such as promising Chen Yu to absorb the displaced people.
Zhishi is a form, this form needs to be paid attention to, from the big to the three pavilion elders, six Shangshu, small to the imperial history, supervision of the imperial history, county orders, decades of officials, there are no five or six times of Zhishi Zhang, you are embarrassed to say that you have mixed with the court.
What snow disaster caused soldiers, famine caused soldiers, cases were not solved to soldiers, etc., anyway, as long as something happened to the country, they all had to send soldiers to show that they did not do a good job (masters).
According to the imperial decree of the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, "according to the official strict supervision of the subordinates, and the inventory of the local displaced people", Lord Wang began to rectify the displaced people, and after they were co-opted, they were all stuffed to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu has not been idle these days, and the workshop he started to build in the northeast corner of the county has begun to prepare for scale.
Textile is divided into cotton textile and silk textile, to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty cotton has been planted all over the world, "the land is not suitable for the north and the south, the people are not rich and poor", to this time, cotton seeding, elastic pine, spinning, printing and dyeing, makeup has a very perfect process and technology.
When it comes to cotton textiles, I have to say that Huang Daopo, due to her appearance, the cotton textile industry in Songjiang area has developed rapidly, and it has been "the first in the world with thread, three shuttle cloth, and lacquer yarn".
In terms of sericulture breeding, it is found that the advantages of cross-breeding of silkworms have been discovered, and in the silk reeling industry, there are five people who make a big reeling car together.
After the construction of the workshop was completed, Chen Yu purchased these machines in the market, and after the homeless people on Lord Wang's side gathered, the workshop officially started.
Chen Yu's workshop is in full swing and is progressing in an orderly manner, but Qiantang County has set off a storm, and the origin of the storm is inseparable from the snow disaster.
During the disaster relief period, the county of Qiantang County ordered Huangcheng to do things unfavorably, withheld grain, neglected fortifications, etc., and asked the court to handle it strictly.
Regarding the snow disaster, the imperial court attached great importance to it, and immediately removed Huangcheng, and let Wang Jing, the imperial historian of the capital, start to investigate, after some investigation, Wang Jing found that this Huang Lord was actually not as serious as Mai Xiu said, and the deduction of food and other things were all after the snow disaster, and it was understandable to leave some food, and there was no basis for neglecting the fortifications.
After the investigation, Lord Huang was reinstated, but soon after, Mai Xiu played a copy of all the corrupt accounts of Huangcheng in the imperial court, annexed land, embezzled military land, and bribed Shangguan.
The amount of corruption was as much as 100,000 taels, and then Emperor Hongzhi was furious, and he did not transfer the imperial history of the capital, but let Jinyiwei intervene in this matter.
After hearing this, Huang Cheng immediately fled from the sea with his family and mouth.
When I first arrived at the wharf in Haikou, Fujian, I was hacked to death by a group of unknown thieves, and the whole family was wiped out, and the death was very cruel!
