Chapter 248 Two Ways of Peaceing Officials and Commerce
At the small celebration banquet of the Ye County Zun family that day, Wang Fulin's ideas about the Lvye Book Garden and the West Garden Elegant House did not immediately spread. However, after he and Cheng Naixuan immediately began to hire a large number of people to renovate the West Garden and Lvye Garden, and at the same time, Wang Fulin personally went to Jixi County to pay the Hu family's previous arrears of summer taxes and autumn grains, and the matter of the Lvye Book Garden and the West Garden Elegant House immediately swept away like a whirlwind in the six counties of Huizhou like a whirlwind.
After Hu Zongxian's death day was over, Wang Ruzheng came to the door to make a difficulty, and then the battlefield was transferred to the reserve warehouse of She County, and then a war of words was launched at the gate of Yidian, and finally Wang Ruzheng was defeated This series of dramas is simply overwhelming. But after hearing that the imperial court returned the Hu family's real estate, many people still think that Hu Songqi may have any thoughts about the two former residences of Hu Zongxian that he sold before, and the righteous shop that originally did good deeds is likely to cause a commotion at that time. But Wang Fulin did not treat the two gardens as private residences, but used them for public welfare to commemorate Hu Zongxian, and immediately put Hu Songqi, who might jump out, in an extremely embarrassing situation.
Not only that, when Wang Fulin personally went to the Jixi County Ya to pay the summer tax and autumn grain of 1,500 taels of silver, he also deliberately publicized the news, deliberately provoking the people to go to the county government to seek justice - after all, although the Hu family did not pay the summer tax and autumn grain of more than 800 acres of land, this money was sent to other people - it is said that the Jixi County Ya suddenly did not know how many people flocked to block the door, and Jixi County made Shu Bangru said to be about to collapse. This is still most people don't know that he is the person behind Wang Ruzheng's back, otherwise, this person is against the people under his rule. Jixi County, who is against his boss and colleagues, don't want to be this parent official anymore.
But now the newly hired master Cheng Wenlie has run away without a trace. It is impossible for Shu Bangru to publicize this matter. This will have to be dealt with by himself against these people. The cover of the Hu family, which was covered by the previous two county commanders, was lifted, involving many officials and servants of Jixi County, if Shu Bang was strong enough, of course, he could use the same method as Ye Cannon at the beginning, and replace these people with his own henchmen. But the problem is that Ye Dacang can at least win the side of the Junping faction, the surrender of Liu Hui, a veteran of the household, but everyone knows that Shu Bangru, the commander of Jixi County, is a person who is disgusted by Duan Fuzun. Who will take refuge in him, and where will he get his henchmen?
"How difficult it is to be the lord of a county, especially if you will face the problem of autumn grain collection in the future, that Shu County Zun may be able to deeply understand it immediately."
This is what Wang Fulin swaggered back from Jixi and said to Cheng Naixuan. And He Xinyin said what he said, and pulled Shen Mingchen Mao Kun to go to the old house of the Hu family in Longchuan Village, Hu Songqi, who was about to regret it, finally had to stop and accept the reality that even if the West Garden and Lvye Garden were returned, they no longer belonged to themselves. He couldn't help but accept it, and his family wanted money but no money. There is no one to do, and the worst thing is that his reputation has now fallen to the bottom. Where do you dare to risk the world's condemnation to jump out and fight? Even Xiaobei, who was vaguely acquainted, was in no mood to pursue it, and only hoped that the imperial court's rehabilitation of Hu Zongxian would be faster.
It's better to let him enjoy grace or hereditary!
This was Hu Songqi's idea, and Wang Fulin didn't care at all. At this moment, he was taking a craftsman recommended to him by Mrs. Xu, who was known as the best at repairing garden houses, and discussed how to repair the old as old in the West Garden. The craftsman's name is Wu Sanqi, and Sanqi is the nickname given to him later - the so-called Sanqi, one is the memory of Qi, and the garden built ten years ago can still be clear about each pattern; The second is the strange craftsmanship, especially the design and stonemasonry, he dares to say the second, no one dares to say the first; As for the third, it is a strange temper, no matter what kind of gentleman and eunuch it is, he will never accept the work that is not pleasing to the eye.
Because a group of craftsmen under his command are the best in the entire Huizhou City, and the wages are fair, many people are polite to him, and those who are rejected have no face, so they can only find someone else.
As for Wang Fulin's business, Wu Sanqi not only agreed without asking how to fix it, but also rejected other people's families. In his words, even if Hu Butang was a little greedy and other sins, the merits outweighed the demerits, so he wouldn't end up like that. Now this West Garden House is going to be repaired for others to visit and mourn, and he will accept this kind of work without collecting money. Moreover, he proudly said that he was the one who took over the two trips of secretly repairing the West Garden and the Green Park every year from the hands of the Xu family and several other funders.
"Repair the old as the old, and try to restore the original appearance of the West Garden and the Green Garden...... Little official, now I am a true believer, you are not for yourself, but for Hu Gong, for us Huizhou people, this is how you eat these two gardens! Wu Sanqi rubbed a towering tree as he spoke, and then turned around and smiled, "These two gardens are more than 1,500 taels of silver, but they were all minor repairs and minor repairs at the beginning, and they have been abandoned for so many years to be repaired to be able to live in them, and at least tens of thousands of silver have to be invested in them." ”
"I also know that I can't come up with that much money right now, so I mean, shard fix, shard open." Wang Fulin bluntly said his economic situation, and then said, "Moreover, I bother Master Wu to renovate two courtyards for me that can live in people, and Mr. Shen and others, who were the original guests of Duke Hu, want to return to their hometown to live for a few days." ”
Wu Sanqi naturally agreed to this. As soon as Wang Fulin left, he stood in the empty West Garden under this cold winter, suddenly rolled up his sleeves, raised his solid arm and waved it vigorously.
Hu Butang, watch me make your former residence shine again!
Wang Fulin really still has a lot of things to do, and promised the grain merchants to count the grain collection. I think that the batch of 10,000 stone grain he sold to Hangzhou at the beginning was as high as 120 yuan for rice, and the selling price was as high as 120 yuan per stone of rice according to the usual proportion of silver to money, not the rate at the time of collecting taxes! And now, it is said that the price of rice over there has fallen to 80 yuan for doumi, a drop of one-third.
Although the price he now collects from those grain merchants is to use his own profits to compensate for others, and the price he collects is much higher than the price sold by the villagers in the market today, in his opinion, this is not only a matter of buying horse bones, but also further consolidating the cohesion of the grain merchants to the rice trade union. Moreover, the autumn grain collection is imminent, and a large amount of grain will be on the market at that time. When the time comes, after the grain is harvested. Those Xiuning grain merchants also unanimously understood guò. He will operate externally as a representative. Although Huizhou is not a grain producing area, nor is it a major grain consumption area, as a whole, Wang Fulin naturally attaches great importance to this right to speak in foreign bargaining.
More importantly, he can control the price of this year's grain harvest at a certain level, so that the grain will not hurt the peasants.
"I finally earned nearly seven or eight thousand taels of silver, and this pour out is three thousand!" Cheng Naixuan is now incarnated as the second miser, and he is elated when he enters the account. But as soon as he heard that he was going to take money out of his pocket, he immediately frowned. Although two more issues of rice coupons have been issued, and now there is no shortage of money on the books, he is still a little frightened when he sees Wang Fulin's spending money like water.
"If you save too much money and bury it underground, you can't make money like planting a tree, only if you spend it, will you make money and make profits." Wang Fulin sarcastically mocked this guy angrily, and then said with a smile. "Don't worry, there will be no shortage of dowry gifts for you to marry the eldest lady of the Xu family at that time."
Speaking of his fiancée. Cheng Naixuan was speechless. You must know that the last time he went to visit Xu Cunyue's house, his future mother-in-law congratulated him on his first class in the annual examination, but the future eldest brother sneered at the end of his hanging list, obviously very dissatisfied with his messy toss in the past. People are lifting people, but he is just a showman, so he can only swallow his anger. But no matter who it is, they all have a high opinion of the fact that he and Wang Xiaoxiucai are inextricably intertwined, and now he is also one of the young business heroes in She County and even Huizhou, and he is also the second youngest.
"This year's autumn grain, that old lady Wang really won't have any more moths?"
"On Hu Butang's death day this time, you see that he just sent a grandson to salute in a proper manner, and did not jump out. Moreover, Wang Ruzheng's wolf bèi, Shu Bangru's dilemma, coupled with the trouble in the previous annual exam, if he doesn't remember these lessons, he will live in vain at such an old age. This autumn grain, let's seek stability, this is what Duanfu Zun, Ye County Zun and even most people want to see, whoever destroys it is a public enemy. ”
This time, he received six or seven thousand stone of grain from Xiuning grain merchants, and learned that Wang Ruzheng had taken the initiative to beg to go, so as not to be embarrassed by being dismissed, Wang Fulin stored the grain in the reserve warehouse of She County this time, and then threw the next grain collection to Ye Qinglong, and Yu Wen, the young man who opened an inn at home, who took the initiative to send it to the door, moved into the West Garden, which had already cleaned up the two courtyards. Shen Mingchen and Mao Kun are both people with families, students, and their own life circles, so as the New Year is approaching, although they said that they returned to their old places, they finally left after staying for less than ten days.
Needless to say, Wang Fulin left an extremely deep impression on them. Even if they don't know that one of the real promoters of Hu Zongxian's death day is this little showman, what they have is enough to surprise and talk about it. Although they are not people in the court, it is not a lie to travel all over the world, so He Xinyin, who nominally left at the same time as them, and then quietly sneaked back to the West Garden, actually made a joke.
"In the future, the people who will push your reputation to Jiangnan and even Huguang in Fujian will have to rely on the two of them."
With a joke in his mouth, He Xinyin struck Wang Fulin directly on the thigh with a steady and precise hand, and the smile on his face disappeared: "If you want to avoid being hacked in the future, you have to suffer a little now." You must know that no matter how rich and powerful you are, it is taboo to invite hundreds and eighty guards, even if you are an official all the way to the elder. Therefore, what I admire the most in my life is Yang Minggong, although it cannot be said that there are no ancients before and no one after him, but he has also shocked the past and the present, and if he talks about martial arts, he can do everything in bow archery and fencing, and he has leveled Zhu Chenhao's rebellion, which is really a model for my generation! ”
Wang Fulin had already experienced the simplicity and rudeness from Qi Liang, the riding teacher, and now that he experienced it again, he heard He Xinyin directly take out Wang Shouren as an analogy, and he only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.
How many years has it taken for a Mr. Yang Ming to come out in this world? Academic martial arts are all shocked, and he can't do it now, as long as he can go through the two roads of leveling officials and business, he will be satisfied!
