Song Jiu replied calmly, "Your Highness, it's me. ”

The eldest princess looked up and smiled.

Song Jiu said calmly: "Not only me, but except for me, all the deed shareholders only have the right to inquire into accounts and dividends, and will not have any management rights." ”

"Song Jiu, who do you think you are!" The eldest princess said.

Song Jiu looked at this noble lady, in fact, he seemed to be looking at an idiot in his heart. It is said that in the sixth year of Xiande, Chai Rong on the way to the north, he once inexplicably received a bag, which contained a wooden strip that was checked as the Son of Heaven, and Chai Rong immediately dismissed Zhang Yongde from the front of the palace, and Zhao Kuangyin, who was born in a poor family, was checked. This seems to have become the most important step on Zhao Kuangyin's road to the emperor, but it was actually very dangerous at that time. Zhao Kuangyin had the heaviest three battles in his life, with 5,000 people must completely destroy 20,000 Southern Tang soldiers and horses in the north of Shou Jiangbei, and seize Chuzhou with 5,000 people, this time the enemy is 100,000 soldiers and horses, and then 2,000 people to defeat Yangzhou and 20,000 Southern Tang troops. The three wars forged his legend. But what about the facts, refer to Yang Ye's death!

The Southern Tang army was not so easy to mess with, look at how many people Chai Rong launched to attack Shouchun City. Zhao Kuangyin succeeded, a miracle appeared, and in fact, Zhao Kuangyin's role in every battle was just a cannon fodder sent to death. The spot check was changed, but the proverb was not changed. Zhang Yongde is Chai Rong's brother-in-law, and if he dies well, will Zhao Kuangyin get a good death? He didn't dare to PK Chai Rong, let alone disobey the order, but he knew in his heart that this spot check seemed to be a gold brick falling from the sky, the golden light was empty, but there was a huge knife wrapped in it, which could make him disappear at any time.

This kind of worry Zhao Kuangyin didn't dare to say to his friends, his brothers, or his subordinates, he only had one harbor at that time...... Family!

When I returned home in a hurry, I didn't expect to be greeted by this strong sister's rolling pin.

Fortunately, before the giant knife fell, Chai Rong died, and Zhao Kuangyin really became the Son of Heaven. But on the other hand, Zhao Kuangyin is not a son of heaven, and sooner or later Chai Zongxun and his subordinates will be killed because of this proverb, which is the general trend behind the addition of the imperial robe.

Further up, Zhao Kuangyin is outstanding in martial arts, that is practiced, it did not come in handy, it can only be said to be idle, because the family is not allowed, it is always his father or mother, I don't know, who can be less? At that time, Zhao Kuangyi was still young, and he dared not tolerate the brother of this martial arts master, there could only be one person!

"Your Highness, Weichen is just a mustard grass people, and what he does is to follow the will of His Majesty," Song Jiu finished speaking, bowing and withdrawing.

I can't stay any longer, otherwise this noble lady will be angry and beat herself up, and there will be nowhere to shout in the dark.

Ride back.

Song Jiu dared to put the money in the Gao family, so he was not afraid that someone would fight for this number one, and neither could the Gao family!

When they returned home, a group of yamen asked strangely, "Why is it so fast?" ”

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has misunderstood, she wants to fight for Gao Dalang for the right to manage Hezhou and the leader."

Ichigan Yanei stared at him with big eyes, because this was said a long time ago. Not only did he say it, but Song Jiu also said that he would have the right to dividends in the future. If it can't be counted last year, it will be built this year, and it will be completed in the second half of next year, and it will be profitable the year after tomorrow, so it must be paid to the imperial court for 10,000 yuan in taxes.

At this time, Song Jiu could not count the shares with six million yuan, and the yamen would not accept it. Song Jiu said vaguely that the imperial court would provide a lot of support, including taking money out to build a wharf, without a wharf, there would be no popularity, no business, no academy, no grade, no bridge, no scenery and transportation, and some other support. It can even make Yanai think that it is financial support. However, Song Jiu had to repay these supports, including the future Hezhou tax, so he increased the tax year by year, 10,000 in the third year, 20,000 in the fourth year, 30,000 in the fifth year, 50,000 in the eleventh year, and 100,000 in the sixteenth year. Therefore, in the third year of this deed share, Song Jiu was calculated in 600,000 yuan, and in the fourth year, it was calculated in 1.2 million yuan.

Many of the yamen were not convinced.

Song Jiu explained again, it was only how much money the wharf academy and bridge had to cost, but the money from the imperial court turned into his own future taxes. Secondly, they must pay constantly, including taxes, and they only pay dividends, and they do not need to pay anything. In the future, Hezhou is a mountain of gold and silver, no apportionment, no need to pay taxes, how much money can be shared? Of course, when you go to the black-hearted usury, I don't say anything.

But Song Jiu has repeatedly said that there is a steward, so that everyone can check the account books, inquire about the whereabouts of the money and dividends, and must not interfere in how to operate, and must properly assist themselves. There is not much doubt about this, the river island is weird, except for Song Jiu, no one else understands.

Now why does the eldest princess bring up the management and management rights again?

What's the use of robbing this, can you let Gao Di Gong run Hezhou, can he?

There are a few Yanai who want to go to the high place to reason, isn't this nonsense, when Song Jiu left, the money was not at ease at home, so it was placed in your home, and now Song Jiu is back, asking for money, you see that the money is in your hands, and you are fighting for something. Why did you go earlier, the money is not only your family's, but also ours's. What about the eldest princess, the emperor also has to be reasonable.

Song Jiu stopped them and said, "Don't worry, maybe the eldest princess has misunderstood." ”

In fact, Shi Xizai also talked about this matter last year, Song Jiu's status is low, and many people are not convinced, why should I let my son be under you. But I didn't figure out one thing, this is not a problem from above and below, but the absorption of funds, which is only an investment for Yanei, and there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates at all.

Song Jiu didn't say anything in the Gao family.

But I believe that this eldest princess must go to her eldest brother in anger, what will Zhao Kuangyin do? You don't have any jokes, I don't want to give you another piece of land, you run it yourself, and Hezhou is ready to fly, so you have to send it.

My tenants want to return to Huainan, and I believe that Huainan will be ruled in a few years, and more displaced people will return to Huainan. After all, where there is land, and there is production and production, Bianshui transportation will become more and more important. Your own Hongqiao will increase the tonnage of Bianshui ships, and the cost of large ship transportation will be reduced. Not to mention that in the future, many techniques will be developed and provided to the imperial court. And there are some positives behind it.

The eldest princess went to make trouble, and that was called not knowing the severity.

If you mix too deeply, you will not know how to be humble. If it is not mixed, let Zhao Kuangyin deal with it, which is the best policy.

A cadre of the Ya Nei is still indignant, the eldest princess made a serious mistake, she wants the Gao family to lead Song Jiu, but she hasn't thought about one thing, the Gao family's status is higher than the Song family, but there are a few people in this group of Ya who are from simple backgrounds, and then talk about talent, Gao Chu Gong is not the most outstanding one in it. And I have been very happy before, Song Jiu said how much money he makes, the money has not been earned, it can't be counted, it is mostly the nature of playing tickets, those pictures are beautiful, and he participated, it is a very happy thing, how to make a leader. This is Hezhou, a place to play and make money, not a court!

Not only angry, but also disappointed.

Song Jiu took out twenty copies of the preparation map from the inside and said, "Let's go to Hezhou to have a look." ”

Bring students together to the river island, which is a practicum class. When the river island is in shape, you can compare where the academy will be, where the playground will be, and where the square will be at the river. Let this group of yamen take the map and look around for comparison.

Song Jiu took the students to conduct on-the-spot measurements.

He didn't have the ability to calculate how many materials he would use, some were on the continent, some were underwater, and there were unknown losses, and they were not the same as the city walls, but they could be calculated approximately, and the high was low, and the error would not exceed two percent.

I first taught how to measure, handed it over to the students, went to the construction site to find Boss Hu, pulled him aside, and whispered: "Hu Xingtou, do one thing for me." ”

"Xiao Jiu, what's the matter?"

Song Jiuyi guided the side and said: "It is on the south bank of Nanbianshui, between Xiaohongqiao and Hulong River, buy a piece of land for me." It can't be too far away from the river embankment, the terrain can't be too low-lying, not necessarily good land, and saline-alkali land can be used. ”

Boss Hu looked at the south and said, "The land in the south is easy to find, but this is near Bianshui, and the low-lying land and swampy land are easy to find. ”

"It's really not, it's okay to have good land, in short, you can't be too far away from the East Water Gate, that will be the place where the villagers will work in the future, and it will be very hard to run back and forth far away."

"Xiao Jiu, what are you going to do?"

"There may be a couple of workshops."

"The river island is so big, why don't you put it on the river island."

Song Jiu was silent for a while, originally intended to be placed in Hezhou, between the dock and the residential area, but the greed of the eldest princess made Song Jiu alert. You can't put all the industries together in Hezhou, and there are still many bad things that can happen in the end. If there is an industry outside the continent, it can form a certain constraint, and it can also be regarded as a balancing act. But the truth can't be said, and he said: "Hu Xingtou, the river island seems to be big, but it is actually very tense. ”

"If you look for land in the south of Zhou, it is not like Hezhou flooded nine times in ten years, most of them are good vegetable gardens, the land price is expensive, and one acre of fertile land costs three or four dollars."

"Three or four through the three or four through it, now the bridge has not been built, the wharf has not been built, the store has not been built, if you want to buy land in the south of the continent in the future, the land price will be more expensive."

"Really?"

"No, if you have money in your hand, you can also buy some land in the south, and it will definitely appreciate in the future, no less than a loan shark."

"Not to mention, I really have more than one hundred and twenty dollars in my hand, but I always have one thing on my mind. Xiao Jiu, you let the yanei put money in, there is a lot of trouble, why is it not cheap folks? ”

"Are you asking the folks to invest money too?"

"That's what I meant." Boss Hu nodded. At first, I felt incredible, but so many people invested money in the ya, and people went to heaven, plus the emperor really issued an edict to build bridges and docks, run colleges, and the blast furnace that couldn't be higher, more and more people finally believed it.

"It's okay, putting the money in Hezhou will be more long-term, and the income will be ten times better than buying land, but this matter will be put on hold in the future, and when the bridge is repaired and the matter of the main store is put on the agenda, I will gather the villagers again and talk about it."

"Then my money ......"

"You can do it."

"I still believe in Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, how much land do you want to buy?"

"Don't need too much, about a hundred acres, if it's really low-lying land, I'll send a few students to you, let them calculate the cost of hiring people to level, if it doesn't exceed too much, the depression is fine, after all, it's wasteland, the controversy won't be too big, but there is one point, it must be connected." It is also necessary to clarify the various procedures and make a good contract so as not to cause trouble later. ”

"Xiao Jiu, let me be your servant."

Boss Hu still didn't figure it out, the servants are the scribes and servants, and the Song Nine grade is not allowed to raise the servants, only when they reach a certain level, sometimes it is the fifth grade, sometimes the fourth grade, sometimes the third grade, it is allowed to raise the servants, and this grade refers to the bad officials, not the official positions, not the loose officials, the higher the allowed to raise the more servants, and the most sloppy to the point that the slaughter is allowed to raise seventy servants. And this money is from the state, giving two liters of rice every day, three hundred dollars a month, and all kinds of silk and charcoal salt. Song Jiu can accept customers now, but they are called servants, not servants.

"Servant, it's better to make a part."

"The servants have a certain amount of freedom, and the subordinates are even free to do the trilogy. But even if the court asks me to accept guests, I won't accept you, Hu Xingtou, we are villagers and brothers. ”

"Brother, brother." Boss Hu went down to work excitedly.

continued to eat and drink at night, and was not very disgusted with this Song Jiu, and it was the same a thousand years later, talking about things at the wine table, making friends, coming back drunk, and falling asleep on the bed. It took a lot of effort for Apple and Cui'er to move his feet to the bed, take off their socks, and wash his feet. The next morning, Song Jiu got up, looked at his socks, and said in surprise: "I ate so much wine last night, and I still know how to wash my feet?" ”

Cui'er was angry and said loudly: "My lady washed it for you." ”

"Ahh

"Jiulang, eat less wine and hurt more," Ping said in a gentle voice.

"Yes, yes," Song Jiu didn't dare to speak, and ran to the front to eat breakfast and teach in embarrassment, and in the afternoon, Zhao Kuangyi sent a servant to call him over, and Song Jiu knew that this was a first-hand incident.
