Chapter 252: The Moral Chariot
"Monument ,...... the Road to Prosperity"
Next to the roadbed outside the city of Luzhou, the newly erected stele is very eye-catching, the red paint carved on the new seal is not completely dry, many people of Luzhou, watch around the stele, there are literate old people, read this inscription. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The article of more than 500 words, written by Yu Que, explains that the reason for the construction of the road is the design of Hao Ren, the generalissimo of the Qingfeng Army, and the construction is carried out by the craftsmen of the workshop of the Qingfeng Army, and it is particularly emphasized that the actual payer is Shen Wansan, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and named it after Zhifu Road, to express respect to Shen Wansan.
After the old man read the inscription, the people began to discuss.
"This Shen Wansan is really rich and rivals the country, how much does it cost to build roads with fierce fire oil?"
"No matter how rich he is, he is not rich or unkind, he is a good man with a conscience!"
"It's not benevolent to be rich, it's not more than three generations to be rich, I think this Shen family can prosper forever, such a good person, there are not many people in Huaxia!"
……
Next to him, two gorgeously dressed people, an old man and a young man, looked outside the crowd for a long time, the old man was Shen Wensan, and the young man was Shen Wansan's eldest son Shen Wang, and the two had already heard everyone's discussions.
Shen Wang said worriedly: "Now that our Shen family's silver has not been shipped, this Hao Thirteen has erected the inscription praising his father first, and has tied our Shen family to the moral pillar, and the Shen family is difficult to ride a tiger. ”
Hao Ren didn't wait for the silver promised by Shen Wansan to arrive, but he had already released public opinion first, if the Shen family didn't produce the silver, the reputation of his worth would be completely stinky, and he didn't need Hao Ren to clean him up, walking on the street, rotten eggs could kill him.
Shen Wansan stuck his gray beard and said with a smile: "The Shen family is rich in the world by virtue of its ability, I don't know how many people are blushing when they look at the property of the Shen family, if the sky has changed today, we are all the people under the rule of the generalissimo, how can we ensure that our Shen family will be prosperous?" Where is the new umbrella? You know, the generalissimo's origin, but a humble household slave! Can he be unbearable to my family's money? ”
"Daddy, what do you mean?" Shen Wang pondered for a long time, not understanding Shen Wansan's meaning.
"This inscription is a tree for you to see my father and son, such as everyone knows today, I, Shen Wansan, paid money to build a road for the generalissimo, and they all know that I am a good person, if the generalissimo wants to attack the property of the Shen family in the future, the reputation of the Shen family is already outside, he needs to face the public opinion of the people, with the wisdom of the generalissimo, he will not set up obstacles for himself, so the generalissimo is to let my Shen family father and son rest assured that our Shen family, on Hao Ren's territory, has landed smoothly!" Shen Wansan analyzed that the Shen family was already in the process of changing the dynasty and landing smoothly, he said full.
"But how much money does this cost us so much of our hard-earned savings?" Shen Wang still said unwillingly.
"Silver is indeed nothing to our Shen family, our fleet has the material protection of the Qingfeng Army, as long as we go to Dongying and Srivijaya a few more times, the money will be earned! What's the use of asking for all that money? The flowers are endless, and the dead can't be taken away, and now, Daddy spends millions of taels of silver, and can be famous in China, in exchange for a protective umbrella for my father and son! ”
Shen Wansan pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know what our Shen family lacks the most now?" ”
"The child doesn't know, please show your father!" Shen Wang asked after a long pause.
"Our Shen family has not produced officials for three generations, what we lack most is status, those who joined the Qingfeng Army are now local officials, this time the generalissimo left you to join the army, so it will be good to assist him, if you are the trust of the generalissimo of the battalion, you will win social status for the Shen family!" Shen Wansan analyzed.
Hao Ren was not shameless to the point of killing chickens and taking eggs, and asking for the Shen family's silver in vain.
As for sending sea ships to protect the Shen family's fleet, it was not within the exchange of interests with the Shen family, and the officers and soldiers of the Qingfeng Army did not fall to the point of giving the landlord a lot of care.
Hao Ren once vowed to protect all those who followed him.
Shen Wansan was a subject of the Qingfeng army, and the Shen family did overseas trade, and Hao Ren had the right to protect them, whether it was to the king of the Three Buddhas or the great pirate Fang Guozhen, the Qingfeng army had an unshirkable responsibility.
As long as he can build a plate oil road of 'merit in the present and benefit in the future', Hao Ren will never hesitate to give Shen Wansan generous treatment.
Fame is not valuable, Shen Wansan wants it, then satisfy him, let him be famous in the world, and put a halo on him, he is embarrassed to break the silver halfway and pick up the halo of his fame.
The official position is not worth much to Hao Ren, so what if Shen Wang is left to join the army, and the level is equivalent to ten thousand households? Shen Wangyou is not useless, he is Shen Wensan's son, and staying by his side can be regarded as pinching Shen Wansan's lifeline, and he doesn't dare to come nonsense.
Shen Wang's biggest advantage, Shen Wang led the fleet to run Goryeo and Dongying, and understood the geographical overview of the navigation routes of Goryeo and Dongying, this is Shen Wang's capital to join the army, whether he can finally go out of the town as a big man, it depends on his own ability, Hao Ren will not join the army who has not yet completed the examination room, and put the local disaster to the people.
Within two days, Shen Wansan's first sum of 500,000 taels of silver was officially entered into the accounts of Shi Mu Youcai, the head of the Marshal's Mansion.
Hao Ren sternly warned Shi Mu Youcai, the governor of the Governor's Mansion: "I will not lead the army to go out in the near future, sweep away the Jiangnan that has not yet been pacified, my martial arts take care of the north, and the matter of building the road will be handed over to Lord Changshi to be fully responsible, remember, if any of the following people dare to deduct a point and privately intercept a single piece of project money, you will have the right to cut off his head, if you are not good at supervision, the money is lost, the road is not repaired, and it will cause a civil uprising, and when I come back and find out, I will cut off your head!" ”
"Don't worry, Generalissimo, I will definitely put this in place!" Mu Youcai read the murderous meaning from Hao Ren's eyes, a spirit.
"Shen joins the army, you are temporarily Mu Changshi's deputy, remember, this is your family's money, and it must not go into other people's pockets!" Hao Ren said to Shen Wang again.
"Generalissimo, rest assured, his subordinates will not fail in their mission and promise not to lose a penny!" Shen Wang said firmly.
Although Shen Wang joined the army for more than ten days after Hao Ren joined the army, he was left behind, he felt that he was left out and wanted to use his business mind to show his intelligence in front of Hao Ren.
"Generalissimo, the cost of road repair is so high, after the road to prosperity is repaired, his subordinates suggest that cards should be set up on the road to charge for passing horses and vehicles, which is an open source road!"
Hao Ren has been mixed for more than two years at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and his temper has indeed changed a lot, and he can't make the army afraid to speak, but Hao Ren still can't help it, and wants to pull this Shen Wang down to the big fifty board.
It's a good Shen Wang, it's only been a few days since you joined the army? Damn, I've learned to scrape the floor!
Are you the king of the mountain when I Hao Ren? "I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to cross this road, leave to buy road money" and rob the passing merchants!
Hao Ren was angry in his heart, but he praised against his will: "Shen joins the army and has a good suggestion, but the Qingfeng army builds roads for military convenience and the convenience of the people, and he should not transfer his martial arts to the people. ”
(Note: Dongying and Sriwijaya are rich in silver, and the Shen family exchanges high prices for silver every time.) At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the status of businessmen was extremely low, so Shen Wansan said that the Shen family had money but no status. (To be continued.) )
