Now there are only 22 banknote customs in the country, and almost all of them are concentrated on both sides of the canal, and it is simply unheard of to set up banknote customs in the suburbs of Beijing. At this time, the stakes are very great, you must be careful, and you must not expropriate and arouse the anger of the people, otherwise, even the officials will not be able to protect you. ”

Thinking of Dai Zhangpu's earnest words just now, Lian Zining was a little moved in his heart.

He knew that Dai Zhangpu was telling the truth, how big the impact of setting up a banknote gate was, think about it if the toll booth on the highway in later generations would be on the line, and the banknote customs at this time would be as annoying as the highway toll station in later generations. And the Ming Dynasty court Gong Gong Zhugong, the family has a lot of business, naturally is not willing to the court to charge more commercial taxes, so under the high-sounding hat of 'not competing with the people' to openly oppose the establishment of the banknote, can win down this banknote, I don't know how much effort Dai Zhangpu wasted.

No matter what kind of ambition Dai Zhangpu has and what he thinks in his heart, at this moment, even Zining has made up his mind that in this life, he will never forget his kindness.

It is enough for him to be able to take such a risk for himself.

Before this, Lian Zining always had an evasive and passive mentality towards Dai Qinglan's contact and affection, one reason was that he didn't have his own foundation now, and he didn't reach a height, and he felt that he didn't have time to take care of such things. The second reason is that he doesn't want to get too close to Dai Zhangpu, because from the root, he, a traverser, doesn't trust anyone except Xiaomei. And you must know that once the two get married, then they are really tied to the boat of Dai Zhangpu.

And at this time, he also told himself in his heart that I was going to take the initiative to pursue Dai Qinglan.

He had made up his mind.

In the next few days, Lian Zining didn't even return home, and stayed in the Chenzi Office to prepare for the establishment of the banknote customs.

The difficulty of the banknote customs is difficult before the document comes down, and I don't know how many people are intriguing for this paper document. And after having the paperwork, everything is easy to do, and after going to the military department to report, it is considered legally established. And the place needed to set up a banknote customs is not lacking in manpower, even Zining.

As long as the soldiers go through simple training, they can go directly to their posts, and the location of the banknote pass, Lian Zining is located on the official road 50 meters north of Liu Zhen Town, east to south, only this road can go, unless these merchants want to go around a hundred miles from the north of the capital, otherwise, they can only pinch their noses and admit it.

After everything was ready, on May 12, Jingnan Banknote Customs was officially opened!

―――――― Dividing Line――――

Zhang Geng was a businessman, to be precise, a cloth merchant.

He is a native of Leling County, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong, and was originally born in a small family, with only about ten acres of thin fields, and he cultivated and studied heirlooms. Later, his grandfather was admitted to Xiucai, a Xiucai, in their small county, he can be regarded as a famous person. And the most important thing is that if you are selected and famous, you don't have to pay the imperial grain and land tax.

The so-called investment refers to the fact that the peasants attach their land to the name of a famous Xiucai master or a famous man, and then become a tenant of others, but there is also a benefit, that is, there is no need to pay taxes. Although the land is no longer his own, and he has become a tenant of other people, it is better than being exploited by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and becoming a tenant, who only needs to pay 30% of the rent every year, and as a yeoman farmer, maybe 60% of the annual income will have to be paid.

Especially in the north, the grain output is already low, and there is still food and clothing compared to the south, and there are many droughts and floods. Therefore, the wind of efficiency in the north is even greater in the south, and in places like Shandong, where disasters occur frequently, it is even more severe.

And the tenants of the Ming Dynasty are not as miserable as Yang Bailao in later TV generations, in the Ming Dynasty, generally the owners who have a little knowledge will treat these tenants well, and those who celebrate the New Year have rewards. And in the event of a disaster year, the tax will also be reduced, because in this year, there is no mass dissemination of knowledge, a good at serving the crops, experienced experts, that is very valuable.

Although Zhang Geng's grandfather didn't pass the exam, he relied on the fame of this talent to collect a lot of land, and when he reached middle age, his family already had 500 acres of land. In addition, he can also operate, long sleeves and good at dancing, so the family property is getting bigger and bigger, and by the time Zhang Geng's father is born, he has become the leading landowner in Leling County, so that the village where his family is located is named after the Zhang family - Qianqing Zhang.

Although the family is not really as exaggerated, there are already 15,000 acres of fertile land, and there are more than a dozen shops in the city, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, and he has become a well-known local squire. Not only is he famous in the countryside, but he doesn't even need to kneel when he sees the county master, as long as he makes a salute.

Zhang Geng's father had little talent for reading, but he was very flexible in business, and from the age of 30 he was engaged in the cloth business, buying homespun cloth from the three prefectures of Qingzhou, Dengzhou, and Laizhou in the east of Shandong's political envoys, and then selling it to Jingshi.

Although the Jingshi is rich, the Jingshi covers the luxury, and the Jingshi is this and that, there is no doubt that most of the people in the Jingshi, the vast majority of the people, are poor or ordinary people, and the rich ones are only a few after all. Therefore, although some people in the Beijing division wore silk and satin, some wore Shu brocade, Huxiang silk, and wore clothes worth more than a dozen taels of silver, the vast majority of them, including Lian Zining two months ago, wore homespun clothes.

The homespun cloth is strong, durable, dirt-resistant, washable, in short, it can withstand tossing, and it is most suitable for the people who do rough work at the bottom or those who do not have enough money to wear, such as the Ge Qing robe before Lian Zining, which has been worn for three years.

Shandong is not a place rich in cloth, but the native cloth produced by Qingdenglai Sanzhou is known for its strength and fineness, so it is quite popular among Beijing.

There are 1.5 million people in Jingshi, of whom 1.3 million people wear homespun clothes, what a huge market is this?

Zhang Geng's father started this business when he was 30 years old with 5,000 taels of silver raised by his family, and it has been 15 years since then. In the past fifteen years, it can be said that he has made a lot of money, and every time the goods arrive in Beijing, they are immediately robbed by the bosses of various cloth houses.

As soon as there was money, he naturally had to buy land, so Zhang Geng's family's land grew year by year, year by year, and by last year, it had risen to 30,000 mu, and 20 percent of the county's land had already become his family's -- there was really a trend of developing toward a thousand hectares of Zhang.
