(Thank you for the precious monthly ticket cast by the Imperial Sunset, thank you.) ）

On November 15, the first batch of officials and officials arrived at Su Su Fang, handed over the bills, and received Su Shu.

The county government issued bills to officials and officials, and asked them to go to Su Su Fang to receive Su Su, which was beyond everyone's expectations, this kind of pastry, everyone used to buy not much, the county Cheng said, it will be the Spring Festival soon, and it can be regarded as the encouragement of the county government to everyone, you have worked hard.

Immediately afterwards, the sergeant of the Inspection Division also took the bill and went to Su Sufang.

For several days in a row, Su Sufang was surrounded by water, and Wan Chenggui personally came forward to help maintain order.

In the past few days, Su Sufang's reputation has been shaken.

The common people believe in the government, and even have a kind of foolish and loyal thinking, which is very different from hundreds of years later, because the officials and servants of the county government, including the sergeants of the inspection department, all came to buy Su Su, and the common people also bought it.

The taste of Su Su is really good, pure natural food, coupled with the ancestral secret recipe, under such publicity, the sales have risen rapidly, at this moment, Wan Chenggui thought of Su Tiancheng's words, his own workshop, is it too small.

The shopkeeper of Su Sufang, holding the bills, tried to go to the county office's house to settle the bill, and did not encounter any problems.

Although Su Tiancheng did not urge, Wan Chenggui will not forget his duties, as the saying goes, people do not stand without trust, besides, it is always their own store to please, and it is unreasonable.

The owners of the more than ten shops who were discussing in the mansion before came to Wan Chenggui's mansion again.

This is also the time that Wan Chenggui finally took out, there are too many things in the store and workshop, and according to this trend, the workshop must be expanded. Otherwise, the production of Su Su is in short supply.

In the face of everyone's gossip of congratulations, Wan Chenggui was always smiling, and only after everyone finished speaking, but when he was generally quiet, he spoke slowly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Su Sufang has received the attention of Master Su. I'm also very happy, a few days ago, I was in the county government prison for three days, thank you for your concern, I heard that Ying Tianfu has asked, yesterday morning, I went to the government to explain, if it's because of my business, the government blames Master Su. I just don't know what to do. ”

After Wan Chenggui said this, everyone quickly quieted down, and when he went to the county government to complain, Wan Chenggui did not have such an attitude.

"You may think it is strange, but these days, I have thought a lot, and even have plans to leave Jiangning County. But I decided to stay and develop here. I believe that my choice is correct, and you, like me, have been in Jiangning County for many years, and after the last time you went to the county government to complain, you left a lot of doubts. It's all panicked, your mansions and shops have been investigated, and my inner thoughts, whether the government has any intentions, I can clearly say it today. Master Su has a far-sighted vision, and his cognition is not comparable to ours. ”

Everyone was even quieter, looking at Wan Chenggui and not saying anything.

"You are all big and wealthy households in Jiangning County, last time you came to my house to discuss matters, you are not welcome to say, we can represent many businessmen in Jiangning County, this is not our arrogance, so we must take the lead, we must contribute to the development of Jiangning County, everyone think about what I said, if you think it makes sense, go directly to the county office, find Master Su, discuss what to do next, what I can say, that's all."

No one thought that this party would end in such a short time, everyone is a smart person, and it is useless to say so much, some words can only be understood but not spoken, and Wan Chenggui will not say it very clearly.

In a few days in a row, many businessmen went to the county office, and when they came out, most of their expressions were solemn, and some were uncertain.

More than a dozen of the largest businessmen in Jiangning County have all come to the county office, and everyone's performance is also different, most of them are a little hesitant and do not express their position immediately.

Su Tiancheng did not force these businessmen, after all, there are some things that rely on facts to speak.

However, in ten days, the fame of Su Su Fang has gone out, it can be said that the whole Nanjing City, have known this brand of pastries, many people in Shangyuan County, specially to Jiangning County to buy Su Su Fang, the production of the workshop, is very tight, it is impossible to have inventory every day, according to this trend of development, Su Su Fang in a short period of time, can become a real brand.

The necessary planning is still there.

Lu Tianming, Qu Qingze, Liu Zhongji and Su Pingyang came to the second hall one after another.

After looking at everyone, Su Tiancheng spoke.

"Although Jiangning County is a rich place, the county government is still very poor, and it is a little difficult to do things, for example, this renovation of ditches and official fields consumes a lot of silver, and it is impossible to support it only by relying on taxes, so I thought of letting the big businessmen of Jiangning County make some contributions to the county government."

"Su Sufang still provides 20,000 taels of donated silver for the county government, and will do so every year in the future, but only Su Sufang does this, that is not good, Su Si has already made some statistics, more than 2,000 shops large and small in Jiangning County, with good benefits, or with strong strength, there are one hundred and eight, I have thought about it, these one hundred and eight, are to make some contributions to the development of Jiangning County."

Su Si still made a list, the largest fifteen merchants in Jiangning County, including Su Sufang, donate silver every year, are 20,000 taels, 30 middle-class merchants, donate 5,000 taels of silver every year, and the remaining 63 merchants, donate 1,000 taels of silver every year, the total amount of this silver is 513,000 taels, such a sum of silver, to ensure the expenses of the county government, more than enough, salt merchants donate silver every year, need to invest in many constructions, repair cultivated land canals, roads in the county, Including the official roads in Jiangning County, etc., the most important thing is to ensure the expenditure of the inspection department. ”

"You may have to worry, the county government collects silver, are they willing, no one is willing to take out the silver, empathy, you are not willing to do such a thing, if you Jiangning County forcibly does this, the merchant can move to Shangyuan County, or even leave Yingtianfu and go to other places."

"So we have to think of a good way, the situation of Su Sufang, everyone has seen it, the best way that the county government can think of, is such a way, I once said, businessmen and the government, to achieve a win-win situation, so that in the smooth development, any aspect of the strong, the result is not good."

"To ensure such a situation, there is one of the most critical things, that is, someone buys so many commodities, involving grain, tea, salt, pastries, cooked food, clothes, shoes and hats, etc., if the people of Jiangning County, there is no silver in their hands, it is impossible to buy, and finally the decision of the county government will become an empty word, so after the beginning of the year, the county government will start large-scale construction, invest silver, let the people do things, get the silver, can buy, this is the real way of development."

No one spoke.

Su Tiancheng's words, there are not many people who can accept it, after all, the officials of the Ming Dynasty think of doing things for the people, the focus is still on political clarity, followed by impartiality in handling cases, as for making money, few people think that the idea of agricultural economy occupies the mainstream, and the understanding of self-sufficiency is accepted by everyone.

The influence of the torrent of commodity economy cannot be underestimated, once it breaks out, it will produce an astonishing amount of force and change a lot of things, but if you want social development, you must follow this truth, which is the experience of hundreds of years of development.

Strictly speaking, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, such an influence already existed, but it was only in the initial stage, or even the embryonic form, there were many scholars in the south, and after the imperial examination, there were many officials, they controlled the government and unconsciously safeguarded the interests of the big and rich families in the south, prevented the imperial court from getting any benefits from these people, and even did not allow the wealth of the south to flow to the north, even when the north encountered a famine, they would not think of aid.

It is this pathetic short-sightedness that buries the germ of the commodity economy.

Since the Tang Dynasty, and even since the Han Dynasty, China has always been at the forefront of the world, but it is a pity that the policy of closing the country to the outside world has caused the national strength to decline day by day, so that it has become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, but the countries of the West have long entered the track of rapid development.

Su Tiancheng thought of this, but he didn't have the greatest confidence, whether he could turn the tide was not as simple as he said.

These things that have been done in Jiangning County are just the beginning.

Qu Qingze stayed again.

Before Qu Qingze could speak, Su Tiancheng spoke directly.

"I know what you want, there are a lot of things, I can't fully explain it now, you be patient, at most a year, there will be practical results, of course, I can't do without your support."

Qu Qingze looked at Su Tiancheng and did not speak.

"The renovation of ditches and canals and official fields is about to end, the next step is to consider the problem of sowing, the 20,000 hectares of official land in the hands of the county government are very important, we must get a bumper harvest and set an example, then we can do more things, I need to tell you in advance, the matter of Tianfu, I am already thinking about it, next year's Tianfu, temporarily exempted, exempt more than 100,000 taels of silver, the county government can still think of a way, let the farmers' hands, more silver."
