Chapter 659: Financial Expert
"Huh? Brother Chaozong is also here? ”
Obviously, everyone was very surprised by Hou Fangyu's arrival, since he accepted the kindness of the gold lord, how could he come to criticize the gold lord again this time, isn't it that the former is unkind, and the latter is unjust? Soon, some good people found Hou Fangyu's signature on the "Public Disclosure", and the celebrities of the same family looked at Hou Fangyu again, but they were already a little more disdainful.
In the end, it was Huang Zongxi who turned the topic of these lace Fengyue back, mentioning that the book on "Public Disclosure" would inevitably gather people to petition, and frankly admitted that this time there was still the risk of imprisonment last time. At this time today, the scholars of the Restoration Society are already like arrows on the string, who dares to say that they will quit at this juncture, otherwise they will be despised by the same people in Shilin, and there will be no day to turn over.
Although they knew that the danger was ahead, the famous people still confessed their hearts in a righteous and strict manner, but most of the people's faces had already turned cold, and they no longer laughed at the calmness and excitement of Mao Xiang and Hou Fangyu.
It was the second day since Li Xin returned to the Longtan barracks, and the disappearance of the Chen brothers was still clueless, and he knew that it would be useless to be angry because of this. However, in accordance with military law, several non-commissioned officers were disposed of, including Li Shuangcai, an officer of the pro-soldier corps who was in charge of the care of the general affairs.
Li Shuangcai's own official had just been promoted from the general manager to the garrison, and this time he was punished and was demoted back to the general again, so that he returned the hot seal of the garrison seal before he could cover it in his hand, and he was sullen all day long, and scolded his subordinates fiercely.
Today, Li Shuangcai is sending his subordinate soldiers under the pretext of an excuse, and he is being seen by Niu Jinsong, an officer of the pro-military battalion. Niu Jinsong has always led troops to rarely beat and scold, and naturally disagrees with Li Shuangcai's way of control. Li Shuangcai saw his immediate boss coming over quickly, and secretly shouted bad luck in his heart. This surnamed Niu has always looked at him unhappily, and today he is punished for his own bad time, and he must not fall into the ground?
Unexpectedly, just as Li Shuangcai was about to greet the thunder and shout, a very gentle laughter came into his ears.
"Isn't it just a loss of someone? In the future, he will cut off a few of his thief's heads in the battle array, and they will even come back! ”
Li Shuangcai waited for a long time and didn't see anything to follow, but when he raised his head, he saw that Niu Jinsong had already gone away, which made him puzzled for a while, and only reacted after a while, General Niu seemed to be comforting him!
In Longtan County, some people are sad and some people are happy. The county order Chen Wenshan since the rice turmoil and again shake again, a passion are on the errand, just ten days to clean up the situation in an orderly manner, what is more gratifying is to supervise the construction of the yamen's poor, the construction of the weaving mill has entered the end, the loom scheduled before is basically completed, just wait for the township to recruit the skilled weavers in the past, you can start work in the summer.
Coincidentally, the marquis of the town, who had not heard from him for several days, called him to the military camp outside the county seat to go to the county office, so he happily sat in a green sedan chair and went out of the county office.
The reason why Li Xin recruited Chen Wenzhi to the barracks was not what Chen Wenzhi himself thought, but to stabilize the market price, stabilize the people's hearts, and supervise the completion of the weaving factory. On the contrary, it was a move he didn't think about.
When Li Xin did not hesitate to praise him on this ground, the mouth of Longtan County surprised Chen Wenshan, and he couldn't close it for a long time.
It turned out that after Li Xin returned to the Longtan barracks, when he mentioned the transaction of the rice market in the city, several secretaries in the battalion who handled related affairs were full of praise for Chen Wenshan's actions.
After the rice price turmoil, the rice market did not disappear as expected, and collapsed, and after the boom dissipated, there were still an objective number of high-rollers gathered in the Okura rice market to trade. After Chen Wenzhi was reprimanded by Li Xin, he no longer dared to use force against these people, so he came up with an idea of disguised trickery.
First of all, he posted a notice outside the Okura Rice Market early in the morning, saying that from now on, those who enter the Okura to trade rice coupons must register their domicile at the Inspectorate Yamen and report their resumes in case of emergency. In fact, the so-called untimely needs mean that if anyone wants to have bad intentions, the government even knows his ancestors for eight generations, and no one can look to escape responsibility. Not only that, but the person who enters the market must also have the place of origin, which should be guaranteed by the gentry and celebrities of Tianfu, otherwise even if the resume of the place of origin is listed, it is still regarded as not eligible to enter the rice market.
It's just that this is not the end, after the first two requirements are met, there is still one last hurdle. Each person must pay a deposit of 10,000 taels of silver to the supervision yamen, and this deposit is only kept in the name of the mortgage money in the supervision yamen, and if it is no longer traded in the market after one year, the deposit can be withdrawn by virtue of the voucher issued by the supervision yamen.
Due to the cost of supervising the construction of the Okura Rice Market for Yamen officials, a certain percentage of the daily turnover will be drawn and will be collected by apportioning it to each person entering the market.
Just when Chen Wenzhi thought that the vast majority of people would retreat in fear, the result was greatly unexpected, because of this harsh threshold, the loss of trading high-rollers was less than 10% of the total number of people. On the contrary, with the government's vigorous intervention, the trading high-rollers are extremely optimistic about the prospects of rice coupon trading, and in the past few days, there has been another prosperous scene since the rice storm and the price of rice has plummeted, and the number of people who have entered the rice warehouse trading market for rice coupon trading has gradually increased.
Li Xindu was stunned when he heard this move, if he followed Chen Wenshan's method, and the number of traders gradually increased, then only the deposit was collected, and millions of silver would be counted from a hundred people! However, Li Xin didn't know Chen Wenshan's original plan, so when he made no secret of his approval of Chen Wenshan, Chen Wenzhi secretly was ashamed. This incident was purely accidental, and even he did not expect it.
However, since the wood has been completed, Chen Wenshan is also optimistic, and with this solid entry, he finally won back a city for himself from the Zhenhou Hou. Because he knows very well that since the incident of forcing the counties to change their rice fields into cotton fields, his future net worth and future have been completely tied to Li Xin's chariot.
At the same time, Chen Wenzhi respectfully held the accounts in and out of the past few days to Li Xin. During the rice turmoil, Li Xin sent Mi Yan and Li Da to supervise the accounts, but after the rice purchase was over, he no longer interfered with the operation of the supervision yamen, and recruited these two back. Therefore, the financial power to supervise the creation of the yamen fell back on the shoulders of Chen Wenshan.
Li Xin took the account book handed over by Chen Wenshan, and flipped through a few pages at random, one of which was recorded in detail, but he was confused about the bookkeeping method of the people in the Ming Dynasty, and finally turned to a total on the last page, but it was a hundred and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Although Li Xin had secretly calculated the income of the superintendent yamen before, after seeing the account books with his own eyes, he was still very smacked. At the same time, he was secretly frightened, there are many rich people in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, far from imagining, and Chen Wenshan's set of money-making methods has only been implemented for a few days, and as time goes by, I am afraid that there will be a certain amount of growth, and it will be a lot of money at that time.
"Good, good! I really can't see that the county is still a financial expert! I'm afraid that a heavier burden will be put on the shoulders of the county honor, and I ask the county lord not to refuse! ”
Chen Wenshan's face was already smiling, and he was ashamed of the words of a financial expert, but although the words of a heavier burden on his shoulders were rough, he still smelled a hint of being promoted. So, he hurriedly got up and bowed down: "The marquis of Zhenyu has orders, and the lower officials dare to disobey their orders!" ”
At this moment, where is Chen Wenshan's half-literati demeanor, full of servility, and even Mi Yan next to him showed a look of disdain. However, Li Xin didn't think it was wrong, there was really a lack of talent in his pocket, as long as he could use it, he couldn't care about any black and white cats. What's more, a cruel fact tells Li Xin, aren't those scholars who are quite stylish and stubborn end up detaching from him, or even turning against him? Only such practical profiteering people are the best collaborators. In other words, Li Xin has his own way of driving them to use their interests for his own use.
Just as the scholar is often satisfied with the high quality and self-appreciation, "the gentleman can be deceived in a way", how can the person who makes profit have no way of doing things himself? As long as it is properly guided, it can also be achieved by Tao Zhu and Guan Zhong.
A few days later, a strange high-roller came to the county government of Longtan County, claiming to be from Huguang and Huangzhou, and he came to buy rice, and he needed at least 500,000 stone of rice.
Chen Wenshan was worried that there were still a lot of rice coupons in his hand that it was difficult to cash in, and when he heard that a large number of high-rollers who bought rice had visited, he was overjoyed, and he was busy attracting guests to the main hall of the county government.
These days, Chen Wenshan is really worried about the millions of stone rice in his hands, although the rice coupon is in his hand, it can still be redeemed. Most of these rice coupons are owned by a businessman surnamed Shen in Suzhou Prefecture, this businessman surnamed Shen is like thunder in Nanzhili, but this person has already had something to say, his rice warehouse is in Changshu, and if he wants to redeem it, he must go to Changshu in person.
It was this distance that he was worried about, on the one hand, in addition to accidents on the way, on the other hand, he was afraid that the journey would be quite wasteful, and he would get a bad impression from the town captive. Therefore, Chen Wenjiao has been trying to sell these rice coupons, but the marquis of Zhenyu has a strict order, and he can no longer supervise the yamen to enter the Dacang rice market, otherwise the government will not become a gambling stall that harms the people, not only to be a banker, but also to go into the water to make money. And the fact that there is no such great demand from the people is really a headache for him. Holding some paper-like rice coupons in your hand, after all, is not as stable as holding a silver coupon.
Just as Chen Wenshan was scratching his ears and cheeks, this high-roller from Huguang could be described as timely rain.
"What? The more the merrier? This official has a million rice coupons here, you, you may eat it in one bite? Chen Wenzhi felt that his voice was trembling uncontrollably.
