Chapter 301: List of Loyal Ministers
The Jin merchants were rich, but they were different from the Hui merchants who liked to spend money to get rich. They are more accustomed to casting silver into large silver balls called helplessness, and storing them in the zΓ i cellar as the foundation of their home. These Jin merchants owed millions of salt taxes, late fees and various expenses in prison, and the silver money was spent like a running price.
The person in charge of copying the house is Ren Yingying again, she is a first-class treasurer of material resources, a treasure among several salt merchants, she loves this when she sees this, she likes it when she sees that, and she takes it home and plays with it slowly. Jinyi, who is in charge of bookkeeping, is very obedient, and he has lost all the things that the eldest lady loves on the books, and wants to refund the salt class, relying on the industry in Yangzhou, he is really out of reach.
Ma Qianli and others are well aware of the old affairs of the imperial court, and they are very clear about the pursuit of dirty things. When Yan Song fell, he said that his family had millions of gold and silver, but the money did not enter the inner treasury or Taicang, and it was very suspicious whether to deposit zΓ i. Jiajing Tianzi asked where the money was, but Xu Jie, Xu Ge, and the elder said that he was hidden by Yan Song in the Jiangxi people's house. God knows what medicine Yan Song took wrong, and he would actually send someone to send money to the whole of Jiangxi before raiding his house.
For this sentence, the entire Jiangxi has raised taxes in a few years to make up for the holes in the Yan Mansion. Later, Zhang Juzheng fell, and with the same rhetoric, half of the people of Huguang were unlucky. The Jin merchants didn't want Jinyiwei to chase after Shanxi and implicate themselves; Second, I don't want Jinyiwei to spy on his own **, whether it is those weapons workshops or border market trade, it is better to keep it secret. simply brought the silver to Yangzhou to take the initiative to finish the class to ensure the peace of Sangzi.
Ma Qianli is also a money banker. Proficiency in playing on credit business. Several Jin merchants are clans of their own families, and they are related to each other, so they can be sloppy in interest. After thinking about it, taking out all the savings and land properties of these merchants at home is almost worth the principal brought by several employees.
Ma Qianli sighed: "They are all relatives, there is no way." There is no iron-faced selfless truth in the world, this profit is only counted as one point, and the loss is big, the loss is big. β
Zheng Guobao, as the notary public who signed the contract, naturally has to have a notary fee in his pocket. Xu Yuanwai helped to run the salt class. I also got a commission. This old man is generous, "Now the first thing in the court is salt and silver." Forget about the commission or something, take the salt top. β
But looking at the amount on the contract, Zheng Guobao frowned and said: "This is also a difference of more than 100,000 yuan from the amount of taxes I recovered." Is it spread on the heads of Hui merchants? This shouldn't be the case. β
Ma Qianli has been in the money business for a long time. Very familiar with their own work. "Uncle Guo doesn't have to be on the head of the Hui businessman." Ten million salt classes are divided between two. Those Hui merchants can pay for it, which is already good. It would be a bad account to spread the million or so again. Most of them can't be collected. But this is nothing, tens of millions of silver is already a rare large amount of the dynasty, if it is not for the opening of the sea and trade in these years, there are Taixi and Oriental silver coming in, this tens of millions are not easy to make. After such a big errand, it is normal to drift along the way. Besides, the city of Daping, the city of Xiaoping, Ku Pingyin, there is a lot of attention in this, Uncle Guo not only did not collect one million, but collected one million more salt classes for the imperial court, which is a great merit. β
The weights and measures of the Ming Dynasty were very confusing, that is, the concept of two, and they were not unified in various places. Even in some places, within a region, the concept of two is different. The one who collects the money is the eunuch in the palace who is in charge, who dares to worry about Uncle Guo on the scale, he is not afraid of returning to the palace and being taken care of by Zheng Niangniang in official affairs? Even if she didn't make any mistakes, a few slaves and maids left and right, Zheng Niangniang was in a bad mood, and ordered to be pulled down and killed, and the heavenly family would not ask more.
Ma Qianli said again: "In these families, there are some outstanding female dependents, and after the official sale, it is also an income. Sold to the Fang Division, you can also earn a few more gold and silver for the court every year, and the court can't lose this account. To tell the truth, if you don't have the face of Uncle Guo, such a large amount will be at least thirty percent. But Uncle Guo sent someone to be responsible for the whole process this time, and he stared at the silver along the way, and the drifting that could not be completed, the officials along the way still had to be regarded as a great achievement, and they could be rewarded by heaven. I am waiting for this visit to meet you, and there is an important matter to discuss with my uncle. In the past, the two Huai Salt Road, the Western Merchants and Hui Merchants, were equally divided. The first thing about this salt class, Hui Shang can be regarded as hurting his vitality, and in a few decades, I am afraid it will be difficult to get ahead. If the Lianghuai Salt Road is the dominant family of the Dongting Merchant Gang, in the future, I am afraid that there will be a suspicion that the tail will not be dropped, and the uncle must not fail to investigate. β
Zheng Guobao said: "What Ma Yuanwai said is also true. With such a big plate of these two Huai salt industries, one family can't be allowed to occupy them all. How? Ma Yuanwai doesn't want to open a money bank, and wants to do this salt business? β
"Haha, Uncle Guo laughed. My Ma Jiahui Nong Qian Zhuang is the fundamental, and the others are all small roads. It's just that Yangzhou originally had a money bank opened by my family before, and this time there was such a big thing, and the steward would definitely have to be replaced. The newcomer who came is my brother, he is in charge of so much silver in the money bank in Yangzhou, and he has to find some way out for this silver, right? I also hope that Uncle Guo will achieve a lot. I, Ma Qianli, am a person who values love and righteousness, and I will definitely make up for my uncle. β
The energy of the Jin merchants is not trivial, in addition to doing some international trade in the nine sides, communicating with the Ming vassals, and assisting the people outside the country for the imperial court. The benefits of salt and iron, Jin Shang also did not want to let go. But this time, the two Huaiyan cases were too big, even with the strength of the Jin merchants, they did not dare to jump out and resist the imperial court regardless of a single qiΔ. I had to choose to lose my pawn and protect the car, sacrifice these businessmen, and at the same time support some new businessmen to come out.
Zheng Guobao is very easy to speak, "I think that in the matter of Hetao shares, Zheng has never forgotten the kindness of Ma Dong's family." I'm sure I'll be able to help with what you're talking about. As for the supplementary report, I will say it far away. I heard that there are military camps on the nine sides, but they are not very good, and the life of the soldiers on the border is better than in the past, and there are still people who are hungry. I don't think it's as good as this, if a few members are outside, they can get some military rations and equipment for the border army assistants, and then they don't have to be discounted. When the time comes, take the receipt of the mine tax superintendent, and go to Yangzhou to pay salt, taxes, etc., all of which can be exempted, and even stamp duty does not have to be paid. I also guarantee that you will give priority to the salt, I don't know what the horsemen want? β
Ma Qianli understands that this is Zheng Guobao's disguised method of opening China. Moreover, the receipt was opened by the mine tax supervisor, not the border army, and the eunuchs of the mine tax supervisor were all cronies selected by Wanli to make money for the emperor, and the six relatives who were mad did not recognize it. If you want to do it yourself, the cost will increase a lot. But now is the biggest time for the salt case, and the emperor is making a fuss about the two Huai salt cases, and when he wants to beat the list of traitors in the former, the momentum of the inward clear stream. At this time, it is unwise to be right with Uncle Guo, so they should also go down one by one.
When he returned to the inner mansion of the Yanzheng Yamen, Lan Fenghuang said with an unhappy face: "How did the husband get a eunuch into the inner mansion, it was really disgusting to death." β
"Phoenix, you don't know. This eunuch is terrible, that's in the palace, my sister-in-law's cronies. I also have something to ask him, but this man is not easy to offend. What about Yingying? β
"The eldest lady is so good that she hid back in her room and played the piano to calm down. Only sent those eight heroines to serve there, and the eunuch saw Sister Qin and asked long and short questions, thanks to me for pulling the girl away. I don't know what a eunuch is going to do with a big girl. β
When Pang Bao saw Zheng Guobao coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted, and when the two of them sat down. Pang Bao smiled: "The slave maid still said it." The Qin family of Zhongzhou, I don't know what kind of good luck I have taken, and I can protect my uncle from the official position. I see, that's what happened. This time, the slave maid understood that Qin Liangyu, this name can't tell the man or woman, and when you want to know that it is such a Qin Liangyu, the noses of those old men in the military department must be crooked. β
"Grandpa Pang, there's no need to laugh. This time, the girl asked you to come, but what do you have to ask? β
"Uncle Guo, you don't know. The traitorous list of traitors can hate the mother. You said that when you make such a fuss, isn't this a deliberate blockage for the mother? Niangniang asks you, is there any way to disgust those clear streams. Again, it's about this salt. β
"As I said, the Heavenly Family will always be the biggest. However, this matter cannot be done now, otherwise it will inevitably give people a handle. These two Huai are turned, patrolling the salt imperial history, we have to send a few reliable people from our own side, wait for a few years, and then slowly eat it. As for the traitorous list in Jingshi, tell sΓΉ Niangniang not to investigate. If you check it, it hurts the harmony between our own people in vain, and we can't find out why. They are on the list, and we are also on the list, let our people concoct a list of loyal ministers, and they will hang him out in that place when they turn around. (To be continued!)
