Chapter 70: Harvesting Autumn Gifts
These steel coins were all minted when Liu Yuanshan was fine before. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Because of the idea of the afterlife, if he wanted to build his empire, he would not allow others to go to the street all day long with silver and gold to buy things, so he made a replacement coin, hoping to achieve the effect.
As for paper money, it has long been eliminated by him because of printing technology.
When he was fine before, he asked Han Laotie to build a template and poured a lot, not only one yuan, but also one cent, two cents, five cents and one cent, two cents, and five cents. At the beginning, he planned to let the businessmen who came to his house to buy goods use, and then promote and expand his influence, but the products at home were too simple, and this thing really couldn't be promoted.
Besides, it's not just the product, it's also the political influence.
Now there is not so much silver in hand to buy rice, and the dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, so he can only throw this thing away as credit. As for whether the common people believe it or not, and how much attention it can attract after spring, it is up to fate.
A lot of times, a lot of things, are not taken for granted.
Although Liu Yuanshan has accumulated a little prestige among the common people before, after all, the foundation is very short, and many people are still just in contact, so the people don't believe in him very much, and naturally they don't believe in his credit very much. Some even put him in the same category as the Chen family and the Ye family.
There are also people who even say that he is insidious and cunning behind his back.
Liu Yuanshan just smiled at these things, but secretly swore in his heart: Wait, spring is coming, you know that I, Liu Sanlang, have nothing to say.
Not only did the people not believe it, but the Ye family naturally didn't believe it either.
Therefore, the Ye family thought that their ability to buy rice and grain had something to do with Liu Yuanshan's price fluctuation, but they didn't expect that all this grain was secretly poured to them by Liu Yuanshan.
Besides, even if you know, what if you know, anyway, the price is low, one tael of silver and six stone rice, taking advantage of the common people and taking advantage of Liu Yuanshan, which is not the advantage, is there a difference?
In this way, gradually, part of the grain in Liu Yuanshan's hands went out and part was replenished, the ranks of the common people selling grain gradually decreased, and the peak season of autumn grain gradually faded.
Liu Yuanshan's family warehouse probably piled up more than 200,000 stone of grain, but not only did he not have much silver in his hand, but he also owed a lot of debts, and the amount of money released alone was as much as 80,000 yuan.
That's 80,000 taels of silver!
As for the rest of the Ye family and the Chen family, they have made a lot of money, not only have a lot of silver, but the warehouse has gradually become richer, and they are the biggest winners.
The senior management of the Liu family and Liu Xin, the county leader, are all feeling sorry for Liu Yuanshan, but Liu Yuanshan himself is not worried at all, and sometimes it seems that he has made a very reasonable deal.
……
One day, Liu Xin came to the construction site again and said to Liu Yuanshan with a bitter face: "San Lang, the autumn grain purchase of each family has ended, the people have money in their hands, and the autumn tax collection in the county has begun." Although the old man is not directly involved, according to previous years, the affairs of the county are the busiest at this time, and Lord Huang is about to be promoted, so I am afraid that I will not be able to come to the construction site! ”
"It's okay, it's on track now, the construction period is far beyond my expectations, you see, in two or three months, this level can be completed!"
Liu Yuanshan came out of the room and pointed to the big river in front of him, and the huge blue-gray city wall on the river, which was quite large, and had the feeling of pointing out the country and stirring up words.
"Hmm!" Liu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, when this pass is completed, the stone in the old man's heart will be put down." Suddenly, he glanced at Liu Yuanshan with deep meaning, "The chaos in the world has appeared, San Lang is so self-conscious!" ”
Liu Yuanshan smiled, and did not make any response, but said with great interest: "Has this year's autumn fu started again?" What exactly is Huang's plan? ”
"What else can I do?" Liu Xin squinted his eyes, looked at the water under his feet and the Xiongguan, which was already quite rudimentary, and said: "I'm afraid that the joints of the upper layer have already been tied, this time, as long as Qiu Quan is handed in in full and in time, it will be a great achievement, and it will not be a sure thing to be promoted and make a fortune at that time." ”
"Qiu Fu?"
Liu Yuanshan suddenly had a stirring spirit in his mind, then turned around, smiled and helped Liu Xin tidy up his clothes, and said: "Qiu Fu is not very difficult, as long as Chen Chenglu and the others work hard, they can naturally do it well!" ”
"Alas......" Liu Xin shook his head and said, "What you said is good!" ”
"Every year, the autumn endowment has to be received, and some can only be completed after the New Year, I'm afraid Lord Huang will be anxious!" Liu Yuanshan took a deep breath, and the smile on his face brightened, "I have a way to make Lord Huang's autumn fu complete in advance!" ”
"In advance?" Liu Xin's heart moved, "How many days can it be in advance?" ”
"It depends on how many taxes the county has to pay every year!" Liu Yuanshan laughed.
"Not much!" Liu Xin nodded, and stretched out another hand: "It's just counting the money!" ”
The taxes of the Ming Dynasty were extremely low, even if Liao and Lian were added later, it was still much lower than that of the later Manchu Qing Dynasty. Moreover, because of the contribution system, the number of places concealed and underreported in various places is even double or even two times that of the apparent land, so the amount of tax paid by local governments every year is actually not much.
Liu Yuanshan knew that there weren't many before, but now after listening to Liu Xin, he sighed again, "I didn't expect so little!" ”
That's a few!
"Okay!" Liu Yuanshan turned his head and said to Liu Xin: "Lord Liu, please tell Lord Huang that I, Liu Yuanshan, originally intended to take out this year's tax and pay it in advance." However, the follow-up collection of taxes for the entire county will be completed by me! ”
Liu Yuanshan smiled slightly, and there was a deep meaning hidden in his smile.
If you can really do this, the benefits are endless.
Liu Xin's eyes narrowed and narrowed, and finally nodded, and said, "It's okay, since San Lang has this heart, then I'll give you a trip, this matter should not be difficult!" ”
If it is in an ordinary year, it is naturally very difficult, after all, it is a major event of the imperial court, and how can ordinary businessmen be allowed to participate. But this is not the case today.
Now that Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Sichuan are suffering disasters every year, the imperial court is overwhelmed to deal with them, and the local situation is also in a mess, and Huang Xiong's mind has long been absent from local government affairs, so the probability of success at this time should be said to be extremely great.
The most important thing is that if Liu Yuanshan pays taxes on his behalf, no matter what it does to the imperial court, it will be beneficial and harmless to him Lord Huang.
Therefore, after Liu Xin told him Liu Yuanshan's method, Huang Xiong agreed! Moreover, it is quite cooperative. not only agreed to Liu Yuanshan to pay taxes on his behalf, but also gave him the green light to make a proclamation throughout the county.
