Chapter 5 The Newly Baked Deputy Envoy for Disaster Relief
Wang Dalun, who made up his mind to storm steel, started a crazy acquisition operation, he bought a large piece of land according to the map given by the system, some people think that Wang Dalun is making two mistakes again, who will buy those wastelands, it's really stupid.
Wang Dalun held back a smile in his heart, he thought to himself, if I had such a coal mine in the future life, I would have been able to live a long time ago drinking porridge and eating two bowls, eating one bowl, and pouring one bowl.
Wang Dalun ignored the strange eyes of others and insisted on buying the land, but when mining, Wang Dalun was depressed, although Shenmu was not far from Xingxian, but that place belonged to Shaanxi, and it was also the border, so he couldn't find a suitable person to be in charge of mining.
"I'm sun, sure enough, a small step forward is a big progress, and a big step forward is a wrong road. I'm depressed, do I still have to build a railway? Wang Dalun, who was helpless, had no choice but to find a small coal mine near Xingxian County and let everyone mine it first.
Just when Wang Dalun was depressed, Fang Wenjin, who went to Beijing to meet Chongzhen, had good news. Under Wang Dalun's careful packaging, Fang Wenjin caused a huge sensation as soon as he entered Beijing.
Let's start with the four horse-drawn carriages, the unique shape, the comfortable design, and the amazing speed, all of which deeply attracted many nobles in the capital, especially after Fang Wenjin dedicated the best one to Chongzhen, it was even more envied by everyone.
Originally, Chongzhen was very frugal and didn't like these flashy things, but would Wang Dalun, who knew Chongzhen's character for a long time, make this mistake? Of course not, so the interior of the carriage is simply decorated.
Moreover, under Wang Dalun's reminder, Fang Wenjin firmly grasped the point that this carriage is beneficial to the country and the people to impress Chongzhen. Fang Wenjin explained that with this car, the mobilization of the army can be faster and the logistical pressure can be reduced, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people.
Chongzhen was a teenager, and he was originally the most curious, but he witnessed his brother Emperor Tianqi's mastery of lewd skills, coupled with the difficulty of state affairs, so he instinctively restrained these natures.
But seeing the huge role of the four-wheeled carriage, he happily waved his pen and gave the name "Thousand Miles Car"! He also summoned officials from the Ministry of Industry and asked them to imitate and promote it to the world.
The officials of the Ministry of Industry patted their chests in front of Chongzhen, but as soon as they dismantled the car, they were deflated, not to mention that they had never seen this rubber, and they couldn't make this spring! Springs look simple, but they're demanding.
The officials of the Ministry of Industry who had no choice found Fang Wenjin and asked how to make it, and Fang Wenjin, who had been prepared, reluctantly made a cameo appearance as a salesman, fooling the Ministry of Industry and Wang Dalun's workshop to cooperate.
The agreement stipulates that Wang Dalun will provide key equipment such as rubber wheels and shock absorption, and the Ministry of Industry will provide other accessories, and everyone will work together to establish a "Beijing Carriage Manufacturing Factory".
The Ministry of Industry only wanted to complete the task assigned by Chongzhen, and didn't think that this thing would make money, so he stupidly gave Wang Dalun half of the shares. But the follow-up development made the officials of the Ministry of Industry feel relieved, and the carriage was too easy to sell.
How good is it to sell? Before the carriage was assembled, there were already housekeepers from various provinces waving silver tickets to order, so the Ministry of Industry hurriedly urged Wang Dalun to deliver the goods, and the internal overtime bounty was unprecedentedly distributed to the craftsmen, so that they could work overtime.
What kind of people are those in the Ministry of Industry, they are all a group of people who have lost their eyes on money, and they have to float a few boats to even transport imperial grain, and they will endure a lot of money being earned by Wang Dalun? So they approached Fang Wenjin and asked for a change in shares.
But they only reacted now, it was already too late, Fang Wenjin released the news early, and pulled Wang Zhixin and Wang Chengen in, and many princes and nobles also revealed their thoughts of wanting to buy shares.
The officials of the Ministry of Industry looked at each other, because Wang Chengen personally went into battle and beat them, and it was vaguely revealed that Tian Guifei's father Tian Hongyu also wanted to join the shares, and I heard that there was still Chongzhen's shadow behind him.
So the share split began, Fang Wenjin took out 30% of Wang Dalun's shares to Wang Chengen, Tian Hongyu, and Wang Zhixin, and the three of them were of course very happy, because there were more than a dozen people who waved silver tickets and wanted to buy shares, and they made a lot of money.
In return, they pressed the Ministry of Industry and let the Ministry of Industry spit out their shares and distribute them to other investors. The Ministry of Labor saw that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he had to endure this breath, they were all people who couldn't afford to offend, and only he suffered a loss.
After the division, Wang Chengen and the three of them left happily, only the Ministry of Industry wanted to cry without tears, looking at the ten percent of the shares in their hands, they were sad. But you have to do things well when you're sad, so many bigwigs are staring, they don't dare to make bad things inside.
The most powerful wind in the world is the pillow wind, Tian Guifei, who was in a happy mood, said good things in front of Chongzhen, Wang Chengen also said good things, and Wang Zhixin also took the time to say good things.
When Chongzhen met Fang Wenjin last time, he only saw him for ten minutes, and he simply asked him about some of his measures, but because of his busy affairs, Fang Wenjin didn't have time to elaborate on his thoughts in detail.
Chongzhen was happy and curious about Fang Wenjin, so he summoned him again.
This time, Fang Wenjin was not as excited as last time, and he prepared well. What the? Do you think Fang Wenjin will be so unproductive if he has been a Beijing official? Think about a person who works in a ministry in Beijing, can he meet the country's leaders at any time? So the emperor is not easy to see.
This time, Fang Wenjin brought the book made by Wang Dalun that could be used as a pillow, and he rehearsed it several times in his heart, striving to be targeted.
His hard work this time was not in vain, he succeeded! Chongzhen looked at the all-encompassing implementation plan in front of him, and felt that Fang Wenjin was really a capable minister, and the plan in front of him was very meticulous.
"Fang Qing, how much time did it take you to make this plan?" Chongzhen asked with interest.
"Back to Your Majesty, I spent half a month, this is mainly my master is in charge, what I do is to find the right people, let them play to their advantages, think things carefully, and strive to do things well!" Fang Wenjin replied.
"There are so many displaced people in Xingxian this time, can Xingxian be responsible for their food problems?"
"Under His Majesty, Xingxian County has a bumper harvest of 10,000 mu of grain this time, and there is no problem with the food of the displaced people! I promise not to starve a single homeless to death! Fang Wenjin said confidently.
"Do you know that you have no jokes? If you can't afford to feed so many homeless people, I won't blame you! Chongzhen reminded.
"Your Majesty, it is our duty to dedicate to the community and relieve the king's worries, please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will do everything he can to ensure that not a single homeless person will starve to death!" Fang Wenjin said excitedly.
"Good!" Chongzhen Longyan Dayue, he asked: "You said that the two crops you are promoting now can grow in the dry season?" And the yield is not low? I ask you, can these two crops be promoted in Shaanxi? ”
"Yes! The ministers will give them the relevant experience! Fang Wenjin nodded and said.
"Hmmm! So you see, how to deal with the current drought in Shaanxi? Chongzhen asked.
"Go back to Your Majesty! Adopting the practice of the minister in Xingxian County, organizing the displaced people to carry out the project, now that there is a great drought in Shaanxi, the minister suggested that the imperial court should come forward and organize the displaced people to build reservoirs and other water conservancy projects, so that the displaced people can be fed, not only to cause chaos, but also to ensure next year's harvest. ”
"But Fang Qing, it's hard for me to be this family! Where did I find so much food to feed my people? I'm ashamed to be this son of heaven! Chongzhen said in frustration.
"Your Majesty! Xingxian County has a bumper harvest this year, and the minister's hometown has also planted new rice varieties, although these are a drop in the bucket for the huge number of victims, but if you can save one, save one. And I'm sure the big families will help too! ”
"Well said! Fang Qing received the order, I ordered you to be the deputy envoy for disaster relief, and the envoy was the secretary of the household department, your task is to go to Shaanxi to help the victims for me, and the relief food issued by the imperial court is in your hands, and I have only one request, try my best to save the victims! Chongzhen said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, what should you do if you find that someone is enriching your own pockets or hindering your own money in the process of disaster relief?" Fang Wenjin asked.
"I give you the sword of Shang Fang, you can cut the officials below the fifth rank first, and you can use the fast horse to pass the secret report to me, and I will deal with him! If it is related to the victims, if necessary, you can hold a sword and ask all the officials in Shaanxi to carry it out! "Chongzhen rarely gave Fang Wenjin a lot of power.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will try not to starve to death to death!" Fang Wenjin was excited, and hurriedly knelt down and promised.
"Go ahead! Do it boldly, I will not be wronged by a person who is willing to do practical things! Chongzhen encouraged.
As soon as the news of Fang Wenjin as the deputy envoy for disaster relief came out, the people in the officialdom were shaken, this is really a dark horse, and they don't know which crack in the stone came from.
Some people were very envious of this, and felt that Fang Wenjin was going to show his ambitions this time, so they all showed favor to Fang Wenjin. Someone sneered at the bottom, and they said disdainfully: "Disaster relief? Is this errand so easy to do? Where did the imperial court get so much grain? I'll see how he ends up after Fang Wenjin is the most ruthless! ”
Fang Wenjin, who was talked about by everyone, didn't care what others said, he found his current nominal boss Wang Yongguang, Wang Yongguang listened to Fang Wenjin's request, and said with a wry smile: "Jinzhi, it's not that I don't help you, it's that the treasury really has no money!" ”
"Lord Wang, no matter how difficult it is, you have to squeeze out some food for me, otherwise what kind of disaster relief will I, the deputy of disaster relief, use?" Fang Wenjin asked.
"It's really not much, but I'll ask Shaanxi and Shanxi to allocate the grain in the library to you first, and that's all I can do." Wang Yongguang said with a wry smile.
When Fang Wenjin heard this, his heart was cold, how much grain could he rely on the two provinces' treasury, hey, this errand is really not easy to do!
"Come in, try your best, the country is so difficult, only you can be wronged!" Wang Yongguang comforted Fang Wenjin.
"Hey!" Fang Wenjin sighed and said in his heart: It seems that he can still ask his son-in-law for help, and the court is not reliable for him!
When Fang Wenjin returned to the post station, he wrote a letter and asked Wang Dalun to bring people and grain to Shaanxi to meet him. If you have difficulties, find a local tyrant! Now it's time for Wang Tuhao to perform.
