More than 2,000 shops in Jiangning County, if you want to take care of them all, or to say that it is comprehensive, it is unlikely, it can only be at different levels, in this regard, Su Tiancheng has long considered that since it is mainly based on economic construction, of course, it is necessary to take care of the big customers, that is to say, the focus is still on the one hundred and eight businessmen, just say that the development of the economy after a few hundred years is also such a practice, it is impossible to cover everything.

The one hundred and eight merchants are also divided into three grades, the first grade is the fifteen largest merchants, focusing on publicity and promotion, the method is the same as the situation of Su Sufang, the second grade is the thirty medium-sized shops, the county government adopts some of the ways to buy shops and promote them to the outside world, so that their fame is great, and the third grade is the remaining sixty-three shops, which can only be promoted.

If this method can be promoted in an orderly manner, in a short period of time, Jiangning County can undergo great changes, and the competition among the merchants will appear immediately, especially the medium-sized shops, who will try their best to become big businessmen, enjoy more promotion and care, and also promote their own business to be better and earn more silver.

Of course, the common people don't have money in their hands, and everything is in vain.

Although Su Tiancheng is not very proficient in the laws of economic development, he knows one thing, the development of shops, it is inevitable to hire more labor, so that a part of the peasants can enter the shops or workshops, through their own labor, earn silver, subsidize the family, at the same time, the county government by exempting the field tax, carrying out the construction of water conservancy facilities and other matters, so that the peasants can have enough food and clothing, have more silver in their hands, buy more goods, and promote the consumption of Jiangning County, so a virtuous circle. This is the right path of development.

The conditions of Jiangning County itself are good, which is a very good foundation.

After the farmers who renovated the ditches began to go to Su Su Fang in batches to receive Su Su, many merchants in Jiangning County couldn't sit still, especially the fifteen big businessmen, and watched Wan Chenggui start to expand the workshop. To recruit apprentices, they immediately went to the county office, this time in a hurry to find the magistrate of the county and ask for 20,000 taels of donated silver.

Su Pingyang was already familiar with the procedure, and after the merchants of each household handed over 20,000 taels of silver, a large number of bills came out. The officials of the county government, the sergeants of the inspection department, and the peasants who built ditches began to flock to these shops, and round after round of popular trends appeared.

In this process, Wan Chenggui has found the rest of the businessmen separately, talked about the meaning of the county government, and let them make their own choices.

The facts are in front of us, and to put it mildly. These businessmen are like donating some silver to the county government. It is used for advertising, and it is used to get the care of the county government.

Early December.

It's the wax moon, and the breath of the Spring Festival is coming.

The atmosphere in Jiangning County has changed greatly, and the busiest are the county officials and businessmen.

Almost every day, businessmen come to the county office, and when these businessmen enter the county office. They held their heads high, as if they were able to enter the county office, which was a kind of pride, after all, more than 2,000 businessmen in Jiangning County were able to visit the county government. There are only one hundred and eight, which is the affirmation of the county government.

A steady stream of donated silver entered the treasury, and many bills were also continuously printed.

Layue was originally the peak sales season, and the merchants of Jiangning County were very busy, and they found that not only the people of Jiangning County were buying goods, but also Shangyuan County and even the rest of Gyeonggi County, there were people who came to buy goods.

Su Tiancheng was not idle, he took the next step according to the original plan, giving gifts.

Nanjing Liubu, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Jingying, Yingtianfu, Shangyuan County, and the rest of Gyeonggi County, all the officials, all received gifts, which were the products of Jiangning County, mainly the products of fifteen shops, and at the same time, the officials of the county government began to promote these products to acquaintances on a large scale.

The renovation of Guantian has ended, but the construction of a few ponds and weir ponds has not been completely completed, the farmers have got the silver, and they have joined the buying army, and it will be the Spring Festival soon, who doesn't want to have a good New Year.

The household officials and the officials who participated in the statistics did not expect that many farmers who participated in the renovation of the Guantian canal directly entered the workshop to work, which is also because the owner of the shop found that these were good laborers, and they also needed to expand the scale of production and expand the workshop.

The shops and workshops in Jiangning County, in a short period of time, actually recruited more than 6,000 people, if it is not for the Spring Festival approaching, the number of people recruited, I am afraid that more, some farmers, anxious to go home for the New Year, did not go to the workshop for the time being.

Then came to the county government were some restaurants in Jiangning County, and they also learned about the news.

The owner of the restaurant came to the county office, and after meeting Su Tiancheng, he also offered to donate silver.

This is something Su Tiancheng did not expect.

The increase in the floating population will inevitably promote the business of restaurants and inns, many restaurants, business is very prosperous, they are naturally worried, the county government takes care of many merchants, but forget them, if there is any change in the future, these businessmen have nothing to do, they will not suffer.

Besides, people live with a face, look at those businessmen who have handed over the donated silver, when they walk, they all hold their heads high, and the owner of the restaurant is naturally not convinced, why should he walk with his head down.

When such a situation appeared, Su Tiancheng finally smiled.

The initial target has been achieved, and the donations of large and wealthy households are close to 700,000 taels, and the total amount of silver donated by salt merchants is 2.3 million taels, which can be done in a big way.

He set his sights on the city's lifting division.

Since consumption has increased, the goods entering Jiangning County from all over the country will inevitably increase, and the most important channel is the city shipping department, and the amount of goods coming from the waterway is the largest, and such a tax must not be missed.

Besides, Jiangning County has received so much donated silver, the paper can't contain the fire, and the above knows that it must be thoughtful, the city has collected more silver, and the silver handed over to the imperial court is naturally more, in this case, the imperial court will not look at the silver in Jiangning County, at least it will not strip too much silver.

Through Wang Daozhi's contact, Su Tiancheng got in touch with the City Lift Division.

Jiangning County transferred 15 officials and 30 officials to the Municipal Shipping Division, and Jiangning County was responsible for all the expenses of these people, and their duty was to collect taxes and transport goods to Jiangning County, including goods to Shangyuan County, all according to the ratio of 20 taxes and 1 tax, no matter who they were, they could not be special. As for the taxes received, Jiangning County only needs 10% of them.

Su Tiancheng's time was very appropriate, and a large number of goods were transported to Nanjing by waterway.

The officials and officials of Jiangning County began to be busy as soon as they arrived at the city's Bo Lifting Division.

All this is like magic, which makes all the officials of the county government stunned, they really don't understand, where did the county magistrate have the ability to make the shops in Jiangning County so prosperous in such a short period of time, most of the shops are busy, and the goods are constantly sold. Even the sergeants in the Beijing camp began to buy goods in Jiangning County on a large scale.

All this, in Su Tiancheng's eyes, is a matter of course, and the future development will be faster.

Spring ploughing and production is about to begin, and the county government already has enough silver to exempt the matter of land endowment in the coming year, without the slightest problem, so as to stimulate the peasant households to farm, of course, this has some influence on the gentry of Jiangning County, since the county government has exempted the field tax, the peasants do not need to find ways to attach themselves to the gentry.

Such a big thing needs to be approved by Ying Tianfu.

When Su Tiancheng went to Ying Tianfu to report, he found that Tang Shiji was also in Ying Tianfu.

The great changes in Jiangning County have long attracted Tang Shiji's attention.

After Tang Shiji and Wang Dao listened to Su Tiancheng's report, they were dumbfounded, Jiangning County guaranteed to pay taxes in full, and bear the salaries of officials and sergeants of the inspection department, and they would also be exempted from the field tax for the coming year.

It's like a fantasy.

Tang Shiji spoke first and asked about the source of income in Jiangning County.

Su Tiancheng said lightly the source of income in Jiangning County.

He didn't want to say it, but he couldn't hide such a thing, it was better to say it earlier, there was a consequence, he thought of it, and made preparations, that is, Nanjing Liubu and Yingtianfu, they must be exploited from the middle.

Tang Shiji was also refreshed, and directly put it forward, the Ministry of War and other departments are very difficult, since Jiangning County is so rich, do you think about it, hand over some donated silver, Wang Daozhi also said, the officials of the government are not as good as the officials of Jiangning County, this is a little too much.

Three hundred thousand taels of silver, in the midst of such deliberations, disappeared.

When he left Ying Tianfu, Su Tiancheng hated it, and the officials crushed people to death, and he had no choice, and he had to take out the silver.

Jiangning County has specially enriched the team of tax collection, nominally, these officials and officials are collecting field taxes, in fact, they are specifically responsible for the collection of donated silver, as for the field payment, Su Tiancheng thought about it, as long as he is still in Jiangning County, he will not collect the field tax, anyway, he asked Ying Tianfu, and Lord Yin did not object.

On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the notice of the county government exempting the next year's field endowment was posted, which once again caused a huge response.

As early as the renovation of the official field, a lot of peasant households, have come to see, now, the county government exempted the next year's field tax, in this case, good farming, the harvest on the field, are their own, if you can not seize such an opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity, many peasant households, from the beginning of the lunar month, to tidy up their own fields.
