Chapter 0507 Salt Invitation Bidding
"Ladies and gentlemen, we can discuss the results now, we will arrange dinner, and after dinner, the official and the prosecutor will personally preside over the bidding!" Shi Kefa's lack of qi when he speaks is very different from the appearance of Xun Lou's full of qi, which can be seen the difference between one who understands and one who doesn't. When dealing with things that people don't understand, they will inevitably be a little weak-hearted.
As soon as the two of them got out of the courtyard and went inside, they heard that the outside was like a fried pot, although they couldn't hear what everyone was talking about, but they didn't need to ask, just this little thing, but there were many people talking, and it was like a vegetable market for a while.
"Lord Inspector, what if they refuse to bid at night and unanimously boycott the imperial court?" Shi Kefa asked uneasily.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, "Isn't that better!" If they don't make money! Didn't I already say that? Directly circulated by the government, so that the government offices from all over the country come to Yangzhou to pick up the goods! That's not going to happen. ”
Shi Kefa sighed, "Then in case, those big merchants get the bid, won't the small merchants not survive?" Will they unite to confront the imperial court, if there are too many people, it will not be easy to do. ”
This is also what Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen is worried about, if it is a peaceful and prosperous era now, he has the ability to make everything properly! The key is that in troubled times now, any enemy will increase the burden on the court!
Emperor Zhu Youzhen wrote down the bidding prices of the provinces that he had thought of a long time ago on a piece of paper and showed it to Shi Kefa.
Shi Kefa didn't understand very well, "My lord, is it too high?" If the imperial court sets the price. These people don't have much profit. The annual tax of the Ming Dynasty is only more than 2 million taels. You have more than five million taels of silver. And that's just a salt tax! ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen shook his head, "More than two million taels, that's because of the corrupt officials and corrupt officials who exploit layer by layer, this pricing, I mainly consider that the world is not peaceful, in fact, there is a lot of profit margin!" ”
Shi Kefa nodded, he agreed with the prosecutor's statement, to be honest. He really admires the inspector from the bottom of his heart, the inspector is really an all-rounder! Not only can he command wars, but also understand the economy so well, he is ashamed of himself.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not know much about economics, and his conversion method had a program in his computer, and the army's financial system was used in the Ming Dynasty to manage the operation of the entire country's economic finance, which was also reasonable.
"My lord, the proprietor of the business outside. Someone asked to see him, saying that it was an old friend of an adult. "A servant came to report.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was slightly stunned. He is wearing a mask, it is impossible for anyone to know him, so if there is such a person, he can only know himself when he knows the identity of Jian Xun Lou, but when he was doing Jian Xun Lou, he did not have contact with many people, but he still said, "Let people come in, I want to see, what old friends do I have?" ”
It was no one else who came in, it was really an old friend of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, Tian Guifei's eldest brother, Tian Jianzhang.
Tian Guifei's father Tian Hongyu was originally a big businessman in Shaanxi, and Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen almost forgot about it, it is estimated that this Tian Jianzhang was sitting below just now, and he didn't see it.
"Lord Inspector, farewell to Xianglou, the villain is polite." Although Tian Jianzhang is the identity of the uncle of the country, he is not frivolous, he is much more powerful than Zhang Yan's eldest brother, Zhang Fumin.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian smiled faintly, "Tian Jianzhang, Uncle Guo, it's been a few days, no wonder I didn't see you at Chengtianmen on Chinese New Year's Eve, you came here?" ”
Tian Jianzhang also smiled slightly, "Doing some small business is naturally not as busy as the inspector, just eating with a mouthful of food." ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said indifferently, "Today's bidding, treat everyone equally, if you want to go through any door, and want to use the identity of Tian Guifei to come out and suppress people, I advise you to be exempt." ”
Tian Jianzhang still kept smiling, "Lord Zhen, how can it be?" Since my sister is a concubine, I should put the interests of the emperor first! I still understand this truth, I just want to remind the prosecutor that the heavy mountain Shaanxi merchant gang should be more important than the Huizhou merchant gang, which is more beneficial to the imperial court! ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen probably understood what Tian Jianzhang meant, although the emperor himself was also from Jiangnan, but the capital was in the north, and the merchants in the north were rich, of course, it was very beneficial to the taxes and construction of the imperial court! For thousands of years, one of China's most important problems has been to solve the problem of the great economic disparity between the north and the south, which is also the root cause of countless rebellions by displaced people in the north!
"What do you mean, I probably understand that if you really think about the emperor, you should try to get as many opportunities as possible to cooperate with the imperial court!" Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not explain anything to Tian Jianzhang, although his impression of this Tian Jianzhang was not too bad, it may be Aiwu and Wubar, except for his Zhou Keer, he was most favored by this Tian Guifei, who was more favored than Yuan Guifei.
Tian Jianzhang himself doesn't know why, there is always a feeling that this Lord Inspector is the kind of person who supports the emperor with all his heart, since he has already expressed his meaning clearly, I believe that Lord Inspector will consider it!
The two of them gossiped a few words, and Tian Jianzhang was interested in quitting and saying goodbye, "Since Master Jian and Master Shi are busy, I will go out, but I want to bring a word to my father, my father Tian Hongyu is the father of Tian Guifei, I believe that the two adults can give a thin face, when will they take the time to go to my house and sit down, I will wait at any time, the two adults arrange their own time, okay?" ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen secretly admired this Tian Jianzhang, such a way of entertaining was very polite! It's embarrassing to refuse!
Shi Kefa glanced at Jian Xunlou, it was inconvenient for him to speak, and because of Shi Kefa's character, he didn't like to make friends with businessmen, for fear of ruining his reputation!
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled faintly, "Master Shi is now a feudal official, it may be a little inconvenient, I am just a seven-grade small banner, if Tian Gongzi does not dislike my lowly status, I would be willing to go to your house one day." ”
Tian Jianzhang is overjoyed, listen to the strings and listen to the music! As soon as he heard what Xun Lou meant, he already knew that he should be able to help him! "That's the best, I just can't find a chance to get close to the inspector!"
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen actually did not think about Tian Jianzhang out of his love for Tian Guifei, besides, this person is a little smart, he originally had the idea of reusing the Tian family, and he also wanted to find an opportunity to beat him! After all, there are not many talents at his disposal, and there are even fewer business talents. (To be continued......)
