Chapter 254 Let's go to Hangzhou together
As the Zhuchuan Wang clan paid this year's autumn grain in full under Wang Fulin's admonition, or threat, many large households in She County, who often delayed to the end, and dragged their own grain to pay, also had to judge the situation and finally pay all, or at least most of the autumn grain. This was almost impossible in previous years, but Wang Shangning and Wang Lao's arrogance have been suppressed, and Wang Daokun's family, which has just come back, should also be exempted, and there should be a lot of money, Ye Junyao, the county order, is now famous, and it is the first year that he has taken office.
As for the ordinary people, it is because when the grain merchants purchased the autumn grain this year, they did not desperately lower the price like the previous summer tax, and the price given was quite fair, and this year was a bumper harvest year, and the surplus money could add two things to the family, so naturally there was no such great resistance to the tax. The lieutenant chiefs each got their own benefits, and the grain chiefs each had to make up for it, and in the end, Shexian was the first to hand over the answer sheet full of autumn grain before the other five counties, and Ye Junyao suddenly had a lot of face in front of Duan Chaozong.
As for the new policy of collecting each li, collecting the li, and helping the whole li, Duan Chaozong even thought about whether to take advantage of the last bit of time in his term of office to implement it quickly, so that it could also be used as his political achievements in Huizhou. However, in the end, he still did not do this, but just wrote the original version of such a system and sent it to Nanjing first.
And Wang Fulin is not idle, even if he is now backed by the reserve warehouse, and through the network of the Guò Cheng family, closely monitoring the new observation of Taidao in Huiningchi and the movements of Nanjing, he does not have to worry about the grain collected in the reserve warehouse and being picked up, but he can't let the grain pile up and store like this-even if the grain can't be eaten at the moment. But it was not enough, and the people of Huizhou consumed it in the next four or five months without a harvest. At that time, it will even be necessary to buy food from outside to supplement the supply. Just as the affluent Suzhou, Songjiang, and Hangzhou are now the most grain-scarce places in the entire southeast, but just hoarding grain in this way is undoubtedly extremely inefficient.
Therefore, the Rice Industry Guild, which has been established for less than half a year, has been constantly meeting and holding meetings recently, summarizing the information collected from all sides, brainstorming for analysis and research, and even suffered a dumb loss in the Shexian court at the beginning. It stands to reason that Wu Xingcai, the owner of Xiuning Wu's rice shop, who hates Wang Fulin the most, and Ye Qinglong's former owner, he has to admit that the efficiency of this kind of five fingers into a fist is really good. Although everyone still inevitably intrigues, it is generally for profit.
For example, Wang Fulin thinks it is very useful to calculate how much grain needs to be retained and how much grain to sell, as well as the grain consumption and supply situation in Hangzhou and Suzhou, according to the population of Huizhou. What's more, there is no longer a need to wait for the merchants to come and collect the grain. Instead, they could organize their own ships to be sent to Hangzhou or even further to Suzhou to sell them, which they had never dared to think of before. Who made them not have the ability to handle the levels along the way?
Available today. What Wang Fulin threw out was a proposal that no one expected.
"The main warehouse of the Rice Industry Guild in Yuliang Town?"
Hearing this, the grain merchants looked at each other, and finally had to admit that this was the most convenient way. In the past, because of the ravages of the Japanese invaders, so the granaries of the government, the private granaries, all eager to be placed in the most solid city, but since the opening of the sea in Longqing, the Japanese invaders have disappeared, although there is no wall in Yuliang Town, but the town is quite prosperous with hundreds of merchants, and it is extremely suitable to build a waterway warehouse there. But when they thought of the thieves, everyone was still a little suspicious. But at this moment, Wang Fulin said something that made them speechless.
"If you feel unsafe, I have a Jianyì, you know, in the past, the Qi family's army of Qi Baihu and many old soldiers, but now they are still settled in the city."
Forgot about this!
Wu Xingcai was the first to shout hello, and then he thought, among so many people here, who has the most friendship with those former evil gods? Wang Fulin. Who can command those veterans? The same is Wang Fulin. Agreeing to this mention undoubtedly means that they need to be further tied to Wang Fulin's boat. But looking at the elated looks of the others, he threw all the little mutters out of the clouds.
"Since everyone agrees, let's start the construction of the main warehouse. Everyone made a contract, each contributed capital, and each accounted for the share capital in this general warehouse. In the meantime, you've probably heard about it. Because I heard that there was a shortage of rice in Hangzhou, the rice transported from other places in Nanzhili to Huguang was piled up, and the grain price in Hangzhou fell by 40% compared with before. Many grain merchants were anxious, but they had to grit their teeth and stiffen up, hoping to sell at a better price, so my construction was that at this time, we were building a general warehouse and organizing people to go to Hangzhou to buy rice. ”
Even if the price in Hangzhou has fallen to the lowest point now, it is still a little higher than the price they used to buy autumn grain from the people with silver, and they are worried that the grain in the warehouse is piling up, and they still have to go to Hangzhou to buy rice?
All the grain merchants felt incredible, but when Wang Fulin explained the reason in detail, everyone suddenly realized.
"As long as you send someone to collect it, and then load one or two ships and transport it back to Huizhou, the grain merchants who are worried about not being able to sell it will definitely transport it to Huizhou to sell because of the convenient waterway. Seeing that we are building a general warehouse in Yuliang Town, we will naturally hear more about it, and the price can be further lowered at that time. Although we are worried that we can't sell the grain, we are not worried about the funds, and we will stock up on a batch at a low price, and the general warehouse built in Yuliang Town will not be empty. Within a month or two, grain prices in Suzhou and Hangzhou did not improve, and Huizhou could still digest them. If the price of grain in Suzhou and Hangzhou improves, we will ship it over and sell it, and then buy it back to supplement the local area when the price of grain falls. ”
After discussing with each other, when Wang Fulin said that he planned to go to Hangzhou in person, a group of grain merchants suddenly became interested, and they recommended themselves one by one, and they almost didn't fight. In the end, Wu Xingcai and the fat grain merchant stood out. Even Ye Qinglong was a little interested, but he was pressed by Wang Fulin, so he had to give up, but he glanced at Yu Wen, the young man recommended by Wang Fulin before, with jealous eyes.
This kid is really lucky, he was able to go out with Wang Fulin to see and see, he has never left Huizhou when he is so old!
The fame is kept, and the quota of the students is kept. The goal of summer tax and autumn grain was achieved safely. The sacrifice to Hu Zongxian is said to have spread from Huizhou to all parts of the southeast. Shishu's voice is quite large, and Ye Junyao, the magistrate of the county, is already impressive, although the first three classes and six rooms cannot be said to be like a finger, but they have already bowed their heads, so Wang Fu Lin Jing was very thoughtful, and naturally planned to go out for a walk and have a look. Of course, he knows very well that a small show has only left Huizhou. Those false names and halos will all fade, even Wang Daokun's signboard will not be so good, after all, he is the governor of Yunyang, not the governor of Zhejiang or Yingtian.
So he didn't plan to go far, to go to Hangzhou, which is four days fastest and only seven or eight days away from Huizhou waterway, and only dealt with grain merchants, which was still under control.
Since he was leaving, Wang Fulin first told his two younger sisters and Jinbao Qiufeng at first. Although Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei were itching to follow, Wang Fulin promised to go first this time. I will definitely bring them next time, and the two little girls can only agree with their mouths crossed. As for Jinbao and Autumn Fle. They didn't have any other opinions, but Qiu Feng whispered: "But the county test is not much away." ”
Wang Fulin realized that he had forgotten that the two little ones in his family were still waiting to participate in the county and government examinations this year! Calculating the time, the county test will definitely not be able to catch up, but the government test should be no problem, he can only cough embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "The county test, the two of you have Master Li in front of you, and Mr. Fang and Mr. Ke in the back, there is absolutely no problem with the personal disciples taught by Mr. Fang and Mr. Ke." You have to take the test well, I will definitely rush back when the government exam, and if you really pass the exam and become a child, I will give you three days to celebrate and celebrate! ”
Wine ...... Or three days! So flamboyant?
Even Jinbao was dumbfounded. However, Wang Fulin, as always, reached out and patted his head gently, his eyes were full of smiles, he didn't speak in the end, but he was ruthless in his heart, and decided that no matter what, he must go all out in this children's test. Even Qiu Feng made a determination to see Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei snickering.
And the eldest sister Wang Yuanguan was very worried about Wang Fulin's trip. No matter how others praise Wang Fulin, in her eyes, the little brother is the little brother, but at the age of fifteen, she has to go to Hangzhou so far alone, where can she be idle? On the day that Wang Fulin came to the door to inform her, she dragged people to the Xu family's mansion on Doosan Street, and only begged the old lady Xu to borrow two safe and reliable people for her younger brother. For the eldest sister's meticulous care, Wang Fulin really couldn't refuse. Therefore, when he finally left the Xu family, he had to accept that Wang Yuanguan wanted to borrow two, and Mrs. Xu directly gave four, and Mrs. Fang added two more to this helpless situation.
However, this is just the beginning, Cheng Naixuan really wants to go with him, but if he leaves, there is no one in Huizhou from Yidian to Lin Muxuan to Zhuangyuanlou, plus the pressure of his grandmother and mother at home, he has no choice but to stay, but he is dead or alive and thanks to the steward to stuff Wang Fulin with two more people. And Wang Fulin went to say hello to Qi Liang, and by the way, he asked to take over the security work after the general warehouse in Yuliang Town was built, and the treatment was favorable. If you are not happy to be in Yuliang Town, you can also help train more than ten or twenty people, Qi Liang not only agreed, but when he heard that Wang Fulin was going to Hangzhou, he greeted him and added two more to Wang Fulin.
After turning around this circle, Wang Fulin found that his attaché team was getting bigger and bigger, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or have a headache. And when he finally visited the magistrate's office, he explained to Ye Dacang that he was going to go out, but he didn't expect that Ye Junyao didn't have any displeasure on his face at all, but smiled with his eyebrows.
"You're going to Hangzhou? That's great! ”
Wang Fulin was a little stunned, could it be that Ye Junyao also planned to send someone to Hangzhou to do business, so he bumped into it on the way?
But the next words that Ye Dacang said made him a little sluggish: "I wrote to inform the family of Xiaobei's matter, and my mother was taken aback, and asked my wife to take Xiaobei back, and when I returned, I would bring my little son who was only a few months old by the way." The mother said that it is not easy for children to grow crooked with their parents, and she said so, of course Mrs. couldn't ask for it. The waterway from Hangzhou to Ningbo is a day or two, and if you bring them to Hangzhou, someone will naturally come to meet them. By the way, Mingyue will also go together, if there is anything you can do to help Mrs. and Xiaobei. ”
Why are more and more people going to Hangzhou this time?
