Chapter 311: Combination of Military and Commercial

(Thank you for the dog who loves rats, the precious monthly ticket voted by the imperial sunset, and thank you for the reward of Da Lang Xiao and boiled paste, thank you.) )

Fan Jingwen agreed to the selection of officers, but this matter still can't be in a hurry, Fan Jingwen also has a word in advance, and can't be openly selected, it is best to directly determine the candidates, directly transfer to the Jiangning battalion, and the selected people can't come in at the same time, before and after a period of time, the purpose of this is to minimize the impact.

It can be seen that the influence of Jiangningying is still too great, especially the treatment is too high, which has attracted the attention of many people.

The staffing of the officers is considered to have a whereabouts, and the next thing is the matter of silver.

In the end, this is the biggest thing, and without money, nothing can be done.

There is a way, Su Tiancheng has already thought of a way out, to say that Jiangning Ying needs so many silver taels every year, if he can't find a more long-term way, he will be anxious about silver taels every year, it will be difficult to maintain, the imperial court is unreliable, and Jiangning County cannot support it for a long time.

Song Sijun, a salt merchant, went directly to Jiangning Camp this time, but did not go to the county office.

For more than a year, his business has been very good, and it is getting bigger and bigger, faintly surpassing the previous boss Kuang Siming, and with the secret support of the county Yaming of Jiangning County, it can be said that it is smooth sailing.

According to Su Tiancheng's proposal, Song Sijun slowly began to expand his scale, not only to deal in salt, but also to sell grain, and found a way to traffic grain from Jiangning County to the north.

This time, Su Tiancheng came to him directly, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, along the way, he thought of a lot. After dating for a long time, he found that Su Tiancheng was very bold and a gentleman who kept his promises, and it was very comfortable to deal with such a person.

100,000 taels of silver donated every year, in his opinion. It's completely worth it, when I didn't take out this silver before, I was always scared to do business, and I respected the silver of officials at all levels, and took out more, Kuang Siming still had to gather everyone to discuss many things, and showdown some silver, since I took it out and donated silver. In addition to normal taxes, the rest of the things don't need to be considered, in fact, they are still earned.

No profit can not be early, this is the character of a businessman, but it cannot be said that all businessmen are like this, this is a misunderstanding. At least Song Sijun thinks that he is not exactly such a businessman.

I saw Su Tiancheng standing alone in the room. Song Sijun still saluted respectfully, he admired Su Tiancheng from the bottom of his heart, this adult is indeed powerful, at least he knows the way of doing business.

"Boss Song, between you and me, don't come to these etiquettes."

"Thank you for your favor. However, I still don't dare to trespass. ”

"Sit down and talk, I came to you today, there are indeed some big things that need to be discussed with you."

Hearing Su Tiancheng say this, Song Sijun was a little nervous. But when it comes to big things, they are all related to silver, of course, after such a long time, he also knows a law, big pay means big profit, after all, doing business requires risk, that is, the sixteen salt merchants in Jiangning County, if they are not bold, it is impossible to earn so much silver.

"Your Excellency, even if you tell me, you will do your best."

"Don't say that, Boss Song, what do you think of Jiangning Ying."

Song Sijun paused for a moment, the prestige of the Jiangning camp, not to mention Jiangning County, that is, Nanzhili, and even the entire south, are all knowledgeable, why would Su Tian ask such a question.

"I don't dare to comment on the Jiangning Battalion, but I think that the Jiangning Battalion is brave and invincible, and it will definitely be able to shock the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"So, you are optimistic about Jiang Ningying."

"Yes, yes, of course I'm optimistic about Jiangning Ying."

Su Tiancheng looked at Song Sijun with a smile on his face.

"Boss Song, you have been in the shopping mall for a long time, you know a lot of things, this way of doing business, has a lot of exquisiteness, you need to take risks, you need to be wise, you need to find a lot of support, such as the support between businessmen, the support of the government, etc., many people's views on businessmen are not good, always think that there is no treachery and no business, in fact, such a view is one-sided."

"This business and being an official have the same thing, for example, being an official, always thinking about being promoted, serving as a prefect, thinking about being able to become a governor, a political envoy thinking about becoming a governor, entering the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the next step is to enter the cabinet, always thinking about the next pursuit, this is not a big deal, there is a pursuit to be motivated."

"Not to mention doing business, if you can't earn money, you can't be considered a real businessman, and as for how much you want to contribute, such as taking care of the weak, you have to wait until you have enough ability to say such things."

"But one thing is clear, there are risks in being an official and doing business, I won't say much about the things in the officialdom, just say that there are many people sinking in this business sea, and the reasons are varied, or competition, or mistakes, not enough to talk about one by one, I don't know what Boss Song thinks I said."

Song Sijun's heart fluttered when he heard it, some of Su Tiancheng's words were too explicit, such words, if they were to spread out, they would not trigger the attacks of many readers, some of the truths were clear, but they just couldn't say it.

"What the adults said is incisive, I really understand it below."

Su Tiancheng stood up, walked a few steps in the room, looked at Song Sijun, who was a little restless, and spoke again.

"Boss Song is a smart person, it seems that he didn't fully understand what I said."

Song Sijun stood up in shock, although he had some vague guesses, but he was not a roundworm in Su Tiancheng's stomach, some things were better to pretend to be stupid, and the worst thing was to wait until Su Tiancheng found out.

"I don't dare to guess casually, but I really listen to the teachings of adults."

Su Tiancheng sighed softly, the nature of a businessman is like this, if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle.

"Boss Song, I have already said about the Jiangning camp, the cost of the Jiangning camp is huge, if it is to be supported for a long time, it is not a simple matter, but the imperial court attaches great importance to the Jiangning camp, and expects the Jiangning camp to be able to go out in the shortest possible time, I am really a little worried."

Having said that, Song Sijun couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"My lord, if there is a difficulty in the Jiangning camp, I will do my best to take out as much silver as I can, and I will never frown."

Su Tiancheng shook his head.

"Boss Song, it seems that you really don't understand, to tell you the truth, the annual expenses of Jiangning Camp need more than two million taels of silver, according to what you just said, how much silver can you take out every year."

Song Sijun's face turned pale, his body trembled slightly, two million taels, he didn't dare to accept it, it was impossible to take out so many silver taels, all year round, it was impossible to earn so many silver taels, and Su Tiancheng's meaning was clear, this is not a matter of one or two years, it is estimated to be a long-term thing, if he inherits it, it will not take a few years, it will be bankrupt, no matter what, such a business cannot be done.

"Big, adult, don't hide it, these two million taels of silver, there is really no way to do it, no matter what, it is impossible to afford it."

"Hehe, Boss Song, it seems that you are smart and confused for a while, no matter which big businessman it is, it is not appropriate to bear the expenses of an army alone, even if he can bear it, what will outsiders think, Shen Wansan's lesson, you should be clear, I don't mean to, I ask you to bear the expenses of the Jiangning camp alone."

"Then, my lord, I really don't understand it."

"Well, there is a form, I will summarize it, it is called the combination of military and business, how to say it, that is, the businessman will closely combine his own destiny with this army, and even reach the degree of mutual dependence, of course, the businessman in this, it cannot be one person, it may be a number of people, of course, there is a certain risk in this, whether it is for the army, or the businessman."

Su Tiancheng stopped talking, and when he said this, he didn't speak again.

Song Sijun suddenly understood what he meant.

There are risks, but there are even greater benefits.

The army belongs to the imperial court, and it should also be directly borne by the imperial court, and the army is also under the orders of the imperial court.

But the benefits are needless to say, with the development and growth of Jiangning Ying, to put it bluntly, with the improvement of Su Tiancheng's status, the benefits he can obtain cannot be said, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once he seizes this opportunity, he may even surpass Shen Wansan in the early Ming Dynasty.

Song Sijun was a little dizzy for a while, and his head was blank.

"Boss Song, think about it, today's conversation, God knows you know I know, if it is revealed that half a word is removed, there may be a bad result, don't be in a hurry to make a decision, think about it seriously."

Just after Su Tiancheng finished saying these few words, Song Sijun quickly sobered up, and years of tempering prompted him to make up his mind in the shortest possible time.

"I already understand it below, and it is a sentence below, and everything is subject to the arrangement of adults."

Su Tiancheng showed a meaningful smile on his face, his vision was accurate, Song Sijun really had such courage, he could quickly understand, and after a little hesitation, he made up his mind.

"Okay, Boss Song said this, I'm very happy, in this case, after you go back, think about it and make some preparations, the time is about half a year, or maybe a year, it's best to think clearly, don't regret it in the future." (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
