Chapter 55 Pillar Industries
After getting out of the city, Liu Zheng took Wang Jiabin and the scholars who had just received the city to take a closer look at the lives of the people outside the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nowadays, this new city has formed a small ecosystem, although it is still the implementation of the planned economy and commune system, but in the farmers' market that Liu Zheng planned and built early, there have been a lot of vendors, these people are selling some small handicrafts or household things made by carpenters, but the trade of these vendors is very good, after all, Liu Zheng has invested a lot of money in this small ecosystem, and the way for the people to obtain these silver coins is to work.
For example, when a mason builds a house, how much does it cost, for example, Liu Zheng provides free cloth to the embroiderer, and the embroiderer processes the cloth into ready-to-wear clothes, and Liu Zheng pays them the processing fee, and then how much does it cost to level the road.
Of course, most people will save this money and wait for the next year to return to their hometowns, or save it in case of accidents, but there will always be some people who will spend this money, and most of these people plan to settle here.
After all, Liu Zheng only sends you a house, not furniture, so someone will begin to demand furniture, and there will be a market if there is demand, and the market will naturally begin to form.
After watching the circle, Liu Zheng asked those scholars to go back first, leaving Wang Jiabin alone.
"Lord Wang, I know what you are thinking, and I also know that you have great hostility towards me, after all, I am a thief!"
After Liu Zheng said this, Wang Jiabin didn't say anything, and Liu Zheng didn't care, and continued: "I don't expect you to submit to me, I just hope that on the issue of developing Qingzhou, the two of us will put aside our prejudices and twist into a rope, so that the people of Qingzhou can live a good life!" ”
Liu Zheng didn't know Wang Jiabin's past, Wang Jiabin followed Zhang Juzheng when he was young, he was essentially a very pragmatic person, but after Zhang Juzheng's death, his upheaval and edification in the officialdom made him a complete officialdom figure.
But in his heart, he always had the ambition to make a career, otherwise he would not have invited Neng Feiyu, who had given Mr. Zhang Juzheng to Mr. Xixi, to follow him to Qingzhou.
It's a pity that after he arrived in Qingzhou, he found that this was not the take-off place of his career, but a huge quagmire, where there were corrupt officials like Yu Zheng and Qian You, as well as local snakes like Liu Chengzong and Liu Zheng who controlled the operation of the entire prefect's yamen.
Before he could clean up this group of people, Liu Zheng actually rebelled, and completely blinded him at once, although this head stick was quite ruthless, but he still did not give up the struggle, and secretly contacted Neng Feiyu to prepare to eradicate Liu Zheng in one fell swoop.
Watching Liu Zheng change this Qingzhou City little by little, and build another huge town outside the city that is not inferior to Qingzhou City, Wang Jiabin's heart also has a huge wave, and the ambition in his heart is ignited little by little.
Until this moment, Liu Zheng proposed to join forces with him to govern this Qingzhou Mansion well, and proposed to let the people in the counties under the rule of Qingzhou Mansion live a good life, and the ambition in his heart that has never been extinguished was ignited at once.
But after all, he is an official of the imperial court, and Liu Zheng is a thief, he rejects Liu Zheng in his heart, but he can't resist the temptation of joining forces with Liu Zheng to make a career, so he begins to struggle.
After a long time, Wang Jiabin slowly spoke: "I can let go of my prejudices and work with you to let the people of this mansion live a good life, but I will still seize the opportunity to eradicate you!" ”
Speaking of this, Wang Jiabin turned his head and stared at Liu Zheng's eyes tightly and said, "I'm an official, you're a thief!" ”
When Wang Jiabin said this, when he heard Liu Zheng's ears, there was a sense of infernal affairs, I don't want to be an underworld, I want to be a good person, I'm sorry, I'm a policeman......
Well, you're a thief, but I don't want to be a good person!
Liu Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Okay, there are many people who want my life, not worse than you!" ”
Wang Jiabin was silent for a while, a trace of struggle appeared on his face, and it took a long while before he spoke: "You be careful of the people in the six doors, they are not good things!" ”
Liu Zheng looked at Wang Jiabin in surprise, he didn't expect to hear such words from Wang Jiabin's mouth at all.
Looking at Liu Zheng's surprised appearance, Wang Jiabin's mood improved inexplicably: "Don't think too much, I just don't want the people of Qingzhou to live a good life, and you will be dead on the streets!" Then my life would be a lot less fun! ”
Damn, Liu Zheng not only widened his eyes this time, but also opened his mouth wide in shock!
Wang Jiabin smiled and said: "Okay, don't be surprised, you still tell me how you plan to govern Qingzhou, I also want to learn from you!" ”
Liu Zheng looked at Wang Jiabin carefully, and he even wondered if there was also someone who crossed into Wang Jiabin's body, which was too unlike Wang Jiabin.
Wang Jiabin was uncomfortable by Liu Zheng, took a step back and said, "What are you looking at me like this?" ”
Liu Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's nothing, let's see if you have been taken away!" ”
Wang Jiabin glared at Liu Zheng fiercely and said, "You were just taken away!" What nonsense in broad daylight! ”
Liu Zheng shrugged his shoulders again and said, "Okay, let's get back to business!" ”
"The development of Qingzhou, in fact, is very difficult, our geographical location does not have any advantages, and even by the geographical location hindered development, the product is not abundant, and there is no own characteristics, so if you want to develop Qingzhou, it is difficult, but no matter how difficult, we also want to develop, right?"
"Through my observations in the past two years, I think we can work the wine industry!"
Wang Jiabin said suspiciously: "Wine? Our Qingzhou wine? ”
Liu Zheng shook his head and said: "No, we haven't had any famous wine in Qingzhou since ancient times!" "Of course, in the later generations, there was a wine that won the king, and the wine began to be blended when it came to the end, and he was stunned to kill himself, and he couldn't say this to Wang Jiabin.
"Lord Wang, do you remember what I said about exempting the land tax in the coming year?"
Wang Jiabin nodded: "Remember!" ”
"The reason why I am exempt from the field tax is that a large part of my willingness is for this wine!"
Wang Jiabin was even more strange when he heard this, Liu Zheng smiled and explained: "If you want to revitalize Qingzhou's economy, you must have a pillar industry, and I choose the pillar industry of wine, that is, this industry can revitalize Qingzhou on a large scale!" ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Wang Jiabin asked curiously.
"Lord Wang, you see, we have exempted the land tax, do the people have grain in their hands?"
"Yes!" Wang Jiabin nodded.
"We will harvest some of this grain and make wine, and the people will have silver in their hands, and when the people have silver in their hands, they will buy what they want to buy, such as cutting new clothes for children, such as adding a cow, such as making two good hoes, and when there is a demand, someone will produce it, and a small market will be formed!"
Wang Jiabin wrinkled his brows and thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "What you said is good, but there is also a big problem here, so as the source, we have produced wine, what if we can't sell it?" ”
Liu Zheng's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Wang Jiabin to have such a brain, it was really unexpected.
Hey laughed twice, Liu Zheng explained to Wang Jiabin: "Lord Wang, I haven't been to a restaurant outside to drink a bar since I took office!" ”
Wang Jiabin nodded very seriously and said: "I came to Qingzhou to show my ambitions, not to be greedy for pleasure!" ”
Liu Zheng couldn't help but give Wang Jiabin a thumbs up, and then said: "I'm not sarcastic about you, I really admire you, Lord Wang, I can see that you really want the people under your rule to live a good life!" ”
"Okay, let's not talk about this first, let's talk about wine first, I have a secret recipe in my hand, the wine is not only twice as strong as today's strongest wine, but also as clean as clear spring water, and the taste is mellow and soft, the aftertaste is long, if the people who love wine take a sip, it will be hard to forget!"
Wang Jiabin's eyes also lit up, there is no one in this era who does not like wine, wine is a symbol of men, and there are also cream students in this era, but cream students will also boast that they can drink, and even eunuchs use the strongest wine to advertise themselves as still a gentleman.
"Liu Zheng, is this true? Do you really have such a secret recipe? ”
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Yes, and I have been selling this wine in Qingzhou City for a year, but the supply is quite limited, so this wine is not very famous!" ”
Wang Jiabin said happily: "Then, you mean to contribute this secret recipe?" ”
Liu Zheng shook his head and said, "Of course not, this is my secret recipe, why should I contribute it?" ”
Wang Jiabin seemed to have been poured cold water and said, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Liu Zheng looked shocked, and said with a smile: "Although I won't contribute the secret recipe, I will cooperate with some local gentlemen and merchants to open dozens, dozens, or even hundreds of wine shops!" Jointly manage this wine! They take care of the winemaking and we take care of the sales! ”
After hearing Liu Zheng's words, a touch of joy appeared on Wang Jiabin's face: "So good, so good!" In this way, you can revitalize this Qingzhou Mansion at once! ”
Liu Zheng stood up again and poured cold water on Wang Jiabin and said: "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, it is impossible to revitalize the entire Qingzhou Mansion with wine alone, we also need other industries!" ”
Wang Jiabin said in surprise: "So you can't revitalize Qingzhou Mansion?" ”
Liu Zheng nodded seriously and said, "I really can't!" ”
After all, Liu Zheng came from a later generation, and he knew that a pillar industry could not revitalize a region, and could only revitalize the entire region by blossoming in many places and forming a trade triangle as the country did.
Liu Zheng already had a very good plan in his heart, which was already there when he came to this world and began to worry about the Liu family's downfall!
