Ninety Mongolian schools and three university halls were built in one go, thousands of students were provided, accommodation and meals were all free, and school uniforms and toiletries were also provided......

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do.

Although the Hangzhou Mansion is rich, there is not much money in the hands of the prefect yamen, and there is still a deficit of millions of taels in previous years.

The mystery in this is really worth talking about, and the roster in front of Xu Wei may be able to explain some problems.

There are two or three hundred gentry listed on it, all of whom lent money to the prefect's yamen to run schools, and the best ones were more than 10,000 taels.

In total, there are almost three or four million taels, which is about the same as the annual income of the household in the 36th year of Jiajing, of course, after deducting the city silver.

With so much money, others don't dare to borrow it at all, and they can't borrow it.

Tang Yi borrowed it, of which more than 1 million taels were used to run the school, and 800,000 taels were handed over to Jiajing, exceeding this year's task. There are two million taels left, which will be used as working capital.

Looks flawless and finished.

But Xu Wei took a closer look, his face turned blue with fright, his fingers trembled uncontrollably, and Tang Yi's eyes changed, and he stretched out his hand to touch his head.

"Okay, you're not sick, are you?"

"Go, just buckle your toes, don't touch me."

Xu Wei screamed, "You still have the mind to pay attention to it, take a good look, the least interest also has two cents, do you know what is two cents?" One hundred taels of silver, two taels of interest a month, and twenty-four taels a year! Xu Wei gritted his back molars. This interest rate is already comparable to that of usury in the ordinary countryside.

Aren't you Tang Yi have a big face, don't you have a good relationship with the gentry? Can't even the interest be less, you borrowed so much money, such a high interest, no matter how much money the market makes money, it can't be repaid!

Tang Yi didn't care. said in a low voice: "Brother Wen, take a look again, in fact, there are many donkeys rolling, and the repayment date is about half a year." ”

Xu Wei's eyes widened, and he carefully examined them one by one, and sure enough, as Tang Yi said, he really couldn't figure it out.

"Okay, isn't that clear that you can't afford it?"

"Clever. I didn't want to pay it back! ”

"What are you having?"

Xu Wei couldn't figure out Tang Yi's routine at all, whether his IQ was not enough, or Tang Yi's level was improving too quickly. All in all, Xu Wei couldn't understand what Tang Yi was planning.

"Senior Brother Wen, to tell you the truth, I have already figured it out, and I will put the City Ship Division and the Chamber of Commerce. Official silver number, guild hall. All of them are converted into shares and transferred to these borrowers, and the debts are gone. ”

"Not good!" Xu Wei shook his head like a rattle, no one is a fool, after Tang Yi opened the sea in Quanzhou. The Chamber of Commerce, the official silver number, have become cash cows.

If it is directly pledged by shares, there is absolutely a large number of businessmen scrambling to borrow money, why should they borrow money in the name of running a school. And then offset with shares?

You must know that the shares used for mortgage should be discounted, that is, the shares worth one hundred taels, when mortgaged, there are only ninety taels, and on the market, it is worth at least one hundred and twenty taels, and there is no market.

Inside and out, the city has lost at least more than thirty percent, isn't Tang Yi usually very shrewd? How could he do things that suffer losses, especially when he suffers losses, and he is still proud, it is really abnormal.

Xu Wei wanted to break his brain, there was only one possibility.

He suddenly jumped up, couldn't even care about wearing shoes, and rushed directly in front of Tang Yi, face to face, Xu Wei's facial features were hideous, and asked: "Tang Yi, do you understand how to let those gentry and businessmen who borrow money take advantage?" ”

"That's right!" Tang Yi replied very simply.

Anger rose from Xu Wei's heart and rushed straight to his head, he suddenly felt very disappointed, even to the point of despair! He tried to control his emotions and keep his tone as gentle as possible, but when it came to his mouth, he couldn't be polite anymore!

"Tang Yi! You're a bleak soul! I always thought you were a good brother, a decent gentleman, and a good official! You've let me down so much, it's not just me! There are also Zhu Dazhu, Tao Dalin, Wang Shimao, all of us regard you as hope, are you worthy of the hope of the big guy? Millions of taels of silver were given to the gentry and to the merchants! How much can Yan Song's father and son embezzle? You are ten thousand times more hateful than they are! Hypocrite, what a villain! ”

The more Xu Wei scolded, the more angry he became, some things were like this, if it was Yan Shifan who made money, he would not be surprised at all, but Tang Yi was not only a teacher and a friend in his heart, but also regarded by him as a talent to save the time, as a future Zaifu, and the hope of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Wei is most proud of having such an outstanding good brother, for Tang Yi, Xu Wei pinched his nose to write green words for Jiajing, and slapped the horse, in order to be able to climb up quickly, to keep up with the footsteps of his brother, when necessary, he can stand up, block the gun for Tang Yi, charge for him, and escort.

Helping Tang Yi ascend to the throne is almost the motivation for Xu Wei to get mixed up in officialdom.

The deeper the feelings he invested, the deeper the hurt he suffered, and in the end, Xu Wei hugged his head, howled and cried, and all the grievances turned into tears and poured out.

After crying for a while, Xu Wei suddenly grabbed his sleeve, bit a bite, pulled hard, only pulled halfway, and grabbed his arm with both hands.

"Brother Wen, how about I finish my words?"

Xu Wei really wanted to wave his hand to punch Tang Yi, but in the end he held back.

"Say it or not, listen to me or not."

Tang Yi lowered his head and looked gloomy, "Brother Wen, everyone knows that the city is a treasure, and people up and down are staring at it, I want to mortgage the shares directly, but I can't do it at all, so I can only cut it first and borrow the money first." When the time came to repay the loan, none of them would be able to take out the money that had filled the hole, and I would give the shares to the gentry and merchants, and no one would have anything to say. ”

Tang Yi stood with his hands in his hands and sighed sadly: "You may have to ask, why do you want to give the city department to the merchants and gentry, they are insatiable and unkind to the rich, how can he have the city company?" Brother Wen, have you thought about it, if you don't give it to them, when I leave the position, who will the City Division fall into? ”

"This ......" Xu Wei's head cooled down a little, "I guess it's the Yan Party, or it's the palace, Your Majesty won't rest assured that the foreign minister is in charge of the money bag." ”

"Well, Brother Wen, Yan Dang, Your Majesty, and the gentry, who should I give it to?"

What a difficult question, Xu Dacai also asked.

Yan Dang is evil, greedy and tyrannical, and it is not a day or two to covet the wealth of the southeast, Yan Shifan, as well as his minions Yan Maoqing, Wan Yu and many others, all hope to find an opportunity to go south, repeat the glory of Zhao Wenhua back then, and make a lot of money.

If the Yan Party people take over the city, it will be a disaster.

As for Jiajing, it is also not far behind.

The greed of the inner court is well known, and the eunuchs rely on the emperor's favor to not put the rules in their eyes at all, and when they go outside, they are like the emperor, doing nonsense, and there is nothing they dare not do. If the good situation created by Tang Yi falls into their hands, it will most likely end in tragedy.

Thinking of this, Xu Wei's face was feverish, he hurriedly grabbed the roster, and looked carefully, and gradually Xu Wei seemed to understand Tang Yi's good intentions.

On the roster, seventy percent are heart scholars, and thirty percent are in the hands of Jin merchants, Hui merchants and others.

Running a school, gentry, city ship...... It's basically a game of chess, a game played by Tang Yi.

Through running schools, we can win over the people of Xinxue, enhance the power of Xinxue, give up the pie of interests, and win the support of gentry and businessmen, so as to form a solid alliance of interests.

Even if Tang Yi leaves in the future, whoever takes over the city is in charge, no matter whether he has the support of the Yan Party behind him, or even the support of Jiajing, he must act according to Tang Yi's rules, otherwise he will be against the entire gentry group.

What is the great promotion of culture and education is basically a performance of academic stage and political singing.

The city, the mind, and the gentry represent the government, academia, and business respectively, and the three are closely united, except for Tang Yi, I am afraid that no one can control this monster anymore.

Xu Wei suddenly wanted to slap his two mouths, why was he blinded! He looked ashamed and raised his head: "Okay, I ......"

"Brother Wen, the lesser of two evils, in order to make the great cause of opening the sea successful, I can only raise a cannibalistic monster, and I don't know if it's right or wrong!"

"You're right!" Xu Wei said categorically: "Okay, you are still the same Tang Xingzhi, I Xu Wei believe you!" (To be continued.) )
