Mao Geng saw Xu Xianling's eagerness, and said in his heart that the official addiction of the county lord is really big, ah, no, it should be said that - the dedication of the county lord is admirable.

However, Mao Geng disdained to carry out the sycophants to the end, so he got to the point:

"Lord County, in the past few months, the mining tax and commercial tax must have been able to collect two or three thousand more per month, right?"

Xu County Ling nodded, coal kilns, iron smelting kilns mining and smelting are in accordance with the two percent of the mining tax, the last time the rumors of gold and silver mines spread rapidly, the people of Xinhua mobilized, dug out a lot of coal kilns at once, the mining tax also came to a wave of sudden growth, but unfortunately the coal dug too much, the price plummeted all of a sudden, the growth of the coal mining tax stagnated, but the family in the iron smelting tax contribution is getting bigger and bigger, coupled with the new business related to Mao Geng, the contribution of the commercial tax is particularly gratifying, Xu County Ling has become relaxed at hand. At this time, seeing Mao Geng asking, he was faintly unhappy in his heart, young man! Don't talk about it if you have merit, the official has already praised you, you remind you again and again, do you have to accept your love again and again! No wonder the official didn't remind you that meritorious service is a good subordinate.

Xu Xianling glanced at Mao Geng, wrong, people are not his subordinates, okay, let's take a step back, let's treat you as a military advisor. Anyway, Mao Geng will not be like his boss, if you charge a little more tax, the boss will have to pluck a few more hairs, at least, it doesn't hurt to talk to Mao Geng about money.

Mao Geng saw that Xu Xianling nodded slowly, and said in his heart Look at your urine, just overcharged this amount of money, you are afraid of people calculating, what kind of vision!

Mao Geng commented:

"Nowadays, there are two or three thousand more per month, but there are too many places for the county lord to use money, and I am afraid it will cost more than 1,000 guan just for the resettlement of the reformed people. From the perspective of the county lord, the tax is still too small! ”

Xu Xianling suddenly felt that Mao Geng was his bosom friend, and the businessman said to the officials that the tax collection was too small, which was really rare. Good! Just because you think about the official so much, the official recognizes you, a friend you have made over the years.

Xu Xianling sighed:

"Brother Yi Sheng still has extraordinary opinions, even if Xinhua adds another 5,000 yuan in taxes every month, it can't stand spending money everywhere! Look at this county government, I want to change the wooden tables and chairs several times, but the money is poor, the dignified county government is so shabby, and it is insulting to think about it. ”

Mao Geng looked at Xu County's expression and felt a little funny, but this county government was indeed a little shabby, and said at the moment:

"The county lord doesn't need to worry, an extra two or three thousand guan may not be rich, but if it is an extra twenty or thirty thousand guan! Will the county lord still be so worried about the county's plans? ”

Xu County ordered the heart to say, calling you a military advisor, but I don't want you to brag nonsense, increase your income by 20,000 or 30,000 per month, and it will be 300,000 a year. That's 300,000! Don't you want your political achievements to go to the sky!

Xu Xianling was dissatisfied with Mao Geng's frivolity, his face was gloomy, and he said:

"Brother Yisheng, this official values you, so you can talk casually here, but you can't laugh for no reason, have you stayed in the robber's den for a long time, and you are used to painting cakes with Meishanman, and now you are also coming to draw cakes with this official!"

Mao Geng smiled slightly and said:

"The county lord, hehe, Xiao Ke said this, in fact, it is not an exaggeration, just cement, a year later, a day will be out of 200,000 catties, the county lord calculates the account, you know how much business tax can be collected for cement alone. There are also bricks, tiles, charcoal, and all kinds of new utensils that Xiao Ke will make zuò, so it is not impossible to calculate that after a year, the county lord will collect an extra 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. ”

Speaking of this, Mao Geng suddenly made a tone turn:

"But there is one case, I am afraid that the goods produced here will not be shipped out by the time, so I can only call in vain. Therefore, Xiao Ke can offer a strategy to the county lord, and it falls on the topic of water transportation. ”

When Xu Xianling heard this, he immediately said disapprerovitically:

"Brother Yisheng, if you said this three months ago, I would be the same worried, according to what you said, 2o million catties of cement a day, 6oo catties a month, according to the previous transportation method, of course it can't be transported, only dry staring. However, the Dun family has now made a kind of woolen boat, this kind of boat can transport 150,000 catties in one boat, anyway, the woolen boat is very easy to make, it is nothing more than to build some more woolen boats, and now with the method of woolen boats, it is also a trivial matter to transport more goods. ”

Mao Gengxin said that the goods of Dun Erbao can think of the woolen boat, there is no way, so I have to point out:

"Don't hide it from the county lord, this woolen boat is also the idea of Xiao Ke for the Don family. Xiao Ke reminded the county lord that this woolen boat can only be an expedient measure, and there are pros and cons. Let's not talk about it, let's talk about the disadvantages, one is that it is very easy to sink ships, and the county respects the people like children, so how can they have a bad reputation for this! Second, the woolen ship can only carry goods downstream, but what if it wants to transport goods back to Xinhua? Or to transport goods to Shaozhou? The woolen ship was originally built to transport goods down the river, and it was dismantled after transportation. ”

Mao Geng glanced at Xu County's order and continued:

"Maybe a year later, one million catties of goods will be transported downstream, two or three hundred thousand catties of goods will be transported against the current, and it will double after two years, and it will double after three years. Why don't you think about it from the perspective of the prefect of Shaozhou, the goods produced in Xinhua can only be transported to Yiyang, but it is difficult to transport them to Shaozhou, I am afraid that the prefect of Shaozhou will not be satisfied! Therefore, Xiao Ke has drawn up a plan for the transformation of water transportation for the county lord. ”

Xu County Lingxin said yes, everything else is secondary, his first wish is to be promoted on the spot to be the prefect of Shaozhou-Zhi Shaozhou, and in his heart he almost regards himself as the prefect-designate of Shaozhou.

Xu Xianling is by no means a short-sighted person, but a long-term vision, and a total in his heart, if he is promoted elsewhere, the foundation that Xinhua has laid here will be handed over, so Mao Geng is right, or he will not be promoted, and if he wants to be promoted, he will be the prefect of Shaozhou, and only when he is the prefect of Shaozhou, can the dividends of Xinhua continue to eat.

Xu Xianling imagined that after he became the prefect of Shaozhou, it would be very difficult to transport cement from Xinhua to Shaozhou, so the face of this Shaozhou prefect was indeed not so good-looking.

Xu Xianling figured out this section, and immediately praised Mao Geng, but the praise was followed by a negation:

"Brother Yi Sheng is very thoughtful, but there are countless dangers in this water, and it is not easy to deal with them! The financial and manpower required is extremely huge, and even if the financial resources are sufficient, ten years may not be able to transform the water resources. This matter is difficult to imagine, Brother Yisheng, let's spend less time! ”

Mao Geng didn't go around in circles with Xu Xianling, and immediately introduced the water transportation improvement plan that he had repeatedly considered:

"Lord County, Xiao Ke's plan is not as complicated as Lord County thinks, simply put, it is to set up a hydraulic mechanism in the places of various dangerous shoals, and relying on the role of this mechanism, you can sail against the current without a slender man. With the trap, going down the river can also slow down the ship and avoid hitting the reef and sinking the ship. ”

The mechanism mentioned by Mao Geng is nothing more than a hydraulic winch and a friction brake mechanism, the hydraulic winch is used to replace the slender man, which can tow the ship against the current, and the friction brake mechanism relies on the cable to control the degree of the ship when going downstream, so as to avoid the ship from running out of control and hitting the reef. In principle. It is 100% feasible to tow a ship against the current, and this does not require testing. As for the downstream reduction, it needs to be tested, but it is certain that single-point force braking may not work, and double-point force braking will never be a problem.

"Really?" As soon as Xu Xianling heard that there was no need to mobilize the public to transform the water transportation, he immediately became interested.

Mao Geng nodded lightly:

"Seriously! As long as the county lord chooses a dangerous shoal and gives Xiao Ke seven days, Xiao Ke can do a good job of the hydraulic mechanism, and after trying, the county lord will no longer doubt it. ”

But Xu Xianling is still worried about financial problems:

"Brother Yisheng, there are so many dangerous shoals in Zishui, it must cost a lot to build such a mechanism at every dangerous shoal, I don't know if the county's financial resources can afford it?"

In this era, the cost of building a fully functional water mill is as high as more than 300 times, Xu Xianling does not know how complicated Mao Geng's hydraulic mechanism is, if all of them have to be sky-high hydraulic mechanisms, it is not something that Xinhua can afford.

At this time, Mao Geng felt that he could throw out his plan:

"Lord County, in fact, there is no need for the government to pay for it, Xiao Ke can contribute money to build these institutions, as long as Xiao Ke's three conditions are met."

When Xu Xianling heard this, he couldn't imagine that this old brother Mao Geng was interested in burning money to build a hydraulic mechanism to improve water transportation, which is of course very good, as long as the conditions are not too harsh, it is negotiable within the scope of his authority.

"Brother Yisheng, you and I are familiar at first sight, just mention what conditions you have."

Mao Gengxin said that the conditions I proposed were not ordinarily high:

"Xiaoke's conditions, first, the government provides a piece of land for the construction of institutions at various dangerous beaches, and one acre of land should be enough; second, another five acres of land will be provided next to it as compensation for the construction agency; Third, a small fee can be allowed for five years, and the government stipulates that all passing ships passing through the dangerous shoal will have to pay, and the fee will of course be within a reasonable range, approved by the government, and after the payment, there will be a special person to use the agency to help them pass the dangerous beach. If these three conditions can be met, Xiao Ke will come to build this institution, and after five years, the acre of land and the built mechanism will be handed over to the government. ”

Mao Geng's condition is combined with BOT - construction (bui1d), operation (operate), transfer (transfer) - an investment method of private investment in public utilities, and at the same time, the land price compensation is also involved.

Xu County ordered a settlement, by the riverside land, the best paddy field to 12 runs, if not the paddy field, that is, three or four run of money, to build a hydraulic mechanism, the government only needs to pay a maximum of 72 runs, Zishui Xinhua has a total of 53 dangerous beaches, a total of about 3,000 can be built successfully, and after five years can be recovered, this thing is not a loss, do it!

However, Xu County's order is still cautious, and Mao Geng must try it first, and after seeing it himself, if the organ is really feasible, he can move forward.

Mao Geng was ecstatic when he saw that Xu County Ling actually approved the plan he proposed. The heart said that these dozens of dangerous beaches can be described as the best hydropower energy, and this resource alone is amazing, if you really do it according to this plan, you can make a lot of money. One is that the hydraulic mechanism can standardize production, and the cost can be reduced to a fairly low level, and the other can also be charged, and the fee can be slightly profitable, as long as it is maintained, and the biggest benefit will be the compensation of five acres of land and hydroelectric energy.

Mao Geng reciprocated the favor and recommended the pre-considered construction plan for the transformation of water and water shipping to Xu County, the first section of course is to build Xinhua first, the second section is Anhua, and the third section is the upstream of Zishui. This plan also has the meaning of fishing, as long as Xinhua here is successfully renovated, it is a political achievement project that can be written about, after the imperial court was hung up appetite, the transformation of the upstream and downstream of Zishui may also have to appoint Xu County Commander to do it, Xu County Commander thought about it, and felt that the throne of Shaozhou Governor was close at hand.

In particular, Mao Geng specifically mentioned that there are rivers connected to the rivers of the Great Song Dynasty in Dali, and the Great Song Dynasty has now lost the horse farm in the north, and it is necessary to buy horses from Dali, but the cost of transporting horses is expensive.

When Xu Xian heard the order, he was even more excited. Dafan is an official, he will never just want to be the prefect, every official from the Song Dynasty class basically has a dream of worshipping the prime minister, Xu Xianling is also from the class, and now he suddenly feels that the worship of the prime minister does not seem to be so far away.
