Chapter 695: Reaction

Hearing that the banner people who work in the workshop must move out of the city, Xi Zhu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, this matter is a little tricky, for decades, the flag people have been accustomed to living in the city, let them move out of the city, move into the military workshop, I am afraid it will cause greater resistance, as for the unified placement of the flag people in the northeast corner of the city, this is not a big problem, after all, all the real estate in the city belongs to the imperial court, not private property.

After a little hesitation, Xi Zhu bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the banner people have been living in Mancheng for decades, and if you rashly order them to move out, I am afraid that there will be many complaints, and even resistance to entering the military workshop. ”

Zhenwu smiled slightly: "After the military workshop is completed, let them choose by themselves, each household can only keep one property, and on the other hand, the quilt factory needs a large number of female workers, because the clothes, shoes, and hats of the new army are all from the hands of the women of the Eight Banners, and their wages are not low, I believe that many banner people are willing to move in with their families." ”

Hearing this, Xi Zhu couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, since it was not forced, and it was profitable, this matter was much easier to do, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The slave obeys the order." ”

Two days later, Zhenwu left Xi'an and set off for Beijing.

At this time, the Jin merchants founded the 'Jin and Sheng' ticket number, and the news that Shanxi Province vigorously cleaned up the deficit has spread rapidly, and the businessmen are concerned about the 'Jin and Sheng' ticket number, and the officials are concerned about cleaning up the deficit.

There is no shortage of powerful business gangs in the Qing Dynasty, and they have long been jealous and hated for the 'Four Hengs' monopoly on the Daqing ticket number and silver number industry, but no one dares to create a ticket number to compete with the 'Four Hengs', because the wealthy and powerful business gangs are clear that the owners of the 'Four Hengs' are competing with the 'Four Hengs' on today's Holy Martial Arts, which is tantamount to an itch on the tiger's head.

But no one expected that after five years of the 'Four Heng' monopolizing the ticket number silver number industry, Zhen Wuye encouraged Jin merchants to create a well-funded 'Jin Hesheng' ticket number to compete with the 'Four Heng', for a while, the powerful business gang speculated about the purpose of Zhenwu's move, does it mean that the ticket number industry of the Qing Dynasty will be fully liberalized?

Time. All the merchants are restless. While sending people to Taiyuan to inquire about the detailed situation, he quietly watched the move of the 'Jin Hesheng' ticket number, the ticket number is too profitable, who doesn't want to get a piece of the pie? Another important reason is the low-interest lending launched by the 'Four Constants'.

Since the launch of the low-interest loan by the 'Four Constants', the business of the local silver money banks that are struggling to support by usury has plummeted. Fortunately, the principal of the 'Four Constants' is limited, and the amount of low-interest loans is not large. Otherwise, all the silver banks would have closed their doors long ago.

The establishment of the "Jin and Sheng" ticket number, for the silver money in various places, is tantamount to another hammer, Shanxi's old Cai Xiong the world, which is recognized, to be the "Jin and Sheng" ticket number to launch low-interest loans. There is no way for them to survive at all, and what is even more worrying is whether there will be another big ticket number?

Shanxi Province vigorously cleaned up the deficit, first dismissed officials on the spot, and then made a big deal of the way to investigate, and those who could not fill the deficit were sent to Ningguta with their families to be punished as slaves of people in armor, which made officials of all provinces and small panic. Panic. Many officials were even unable to eat and had trouble sleeping. Midnight dreams, nightmares.

No one knows where Zhenwu's patrol is and which route he will take, this new master is very different from Kangxi's patrol, not only is he a light car, he travels all the way, and his whereabouts are secretive, he likes to pay a private visit to Weifu, it is said that Su Keji, the governor of Shanxi, was dismissed and imprisoned because of Zhenwu's private visit to Weifu, his official reputation was not good.

Officials in Hubei and Henan provinces are particularly nervous, and Zhenwu is now in Xi'an, and God knows if he will go south or east? No one wants to joke about their future, so they have crossed the sea to show their magical powers, and began to find ways to fill the shortfall. A little farther away from Liangjiang, the officials of Shandong, Zhejiang, and other provinces did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and began to correct and examine themselves, going around to recover the embezzled loans, ordering the officials to retire, and even paying out of their own pockets to make up for the shortfall.

When the officials in various places were busy with the shortfall, the news of Zhenwu's departure from Xi'an spread, and at the same time, the news that Fengxiang Mansion was dismissed and sent to Beijing for trial because of the fire consumption to three yuan, and the most shocking news was the demolition of Mancheng, the sale of Mancheng, the permission to garrison Xi'an bannermen to buy local industries, the purchase of cemeteries, the expansion of Xi'an by 30,000 new guards, and the establishment of military workshops.

Although this series of news was shocking, the prefecture and county government officials in various provinces and localities had nothing to do with themselves, except for Henan, the fire consumption in other provinces did not exceed three yuan, they were not worried, and continued to bury their heads in dealing with their own shortfalls.

Most of the state and county fire consumption in Henan are more than three yuan, and all the state and county government officials are anxious like ants on a hot pot when they hear the news, Zhenwu did not go to Fengxiang Mansion at all, obviously it is hearsay, and the prefect of Fengxiang Mansion will be dismissed, if he steps into Henan, wouldn't he have to go all the way, all the way?

The Eight Banners soldiers stationed in the provinces with the Eight Banners soldiers in the land and water are very concerned about the demolition of the city in Xi'an, I don't know if the demolition of the city in Xi'an is a beginning, or a special case? In these small places, they can't sell the city for a few dollars, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners are already few, if they demolish the city, there is no danger to rely on, and there is no need to garrison it again.

The Manchu and Han officials in the provinces, especially the Manchu and Han officials in Jiangning and Hangzhou, were extremely concerned about the demolition and sale of Xi'an Mancheng, of course, they were more concerned about how much Xi'an Mancheng could sell? The value of the land in the provincial capital, if it can be sold all over the city, and a new camp is built outside the city, it will be a chance to make a fortune when it changes hands, as for the rest, not many people think about it, Jiangnan has been too peaceful for too long, and the city has no meaning at all.

The reaction of the Beijing division and the local government is just the opposite, and the princes and nobles of the Beijing division, the ministers of civil and military affairs do not care at all, and the cleaning up of the deficit and the deficit of the prefectures and counties is completely a local matter, and it has nothing to do with them, but the reaction to the demolition and sale of the city, the permission to allow the people stationed in Xi'an to buy industries in the local area, the purchase of cemeteries, and the expansion of the 30,000 new army of the Praetorian Guards in Xi'an, the princes and nobles, and the ministers of civil and military affairs have reacted quite strongly.

The imperial court has always protected the flag and the flag property, and the people are not allowed to pawn the flag and the flag property, and the city is the flag property, so openly sold, the court protects the flag and the flag property has become a dead letter.

The bannermen stationed in Xi'an were allowed to purchase local properties, purchase cemeteries, and allow the bannermen and their families to be buried on the spot. It is even more hateful, which is tantamount to stripping the Eight Banners of Xi'an from the hands of the banner owners forever. (To be continued.) )
