Ruyang is only 100 miles away from Luoyang, and what Zhang Shiqi did in Ruyang is impossible to spread to Luoyang. Fortunately, Zhang Shiqi moved quickly, and the speed of Donggong's action was not slow, and when the news slowly spread, Zhang Shiqi had already obtained the note in black and white. Even if a few families prepared in advance and slightly reported the number of acres and plots close to the actual number, they did not dare to make a big noise.

They also want to take this opportunity to take a ride and see if they can reap some benefits. At the same time, I am afraid of making too much of it and becoming a bird. The so-called "county order that breaks the family, and the mansion that destroys the door", is it really that the prefect of the house is a vegetarian?

"You come with me." Master Liao beckoned and asked Liao Xing to come over.

Liao Xing walked over under the watchful eye of his uncle and uncle, and walked into the inner hall with his grandfather.

Master Liao sat down on a soft chair covered with fox fur, raised his triangular eyes, and said, "How much land do you think is appropriate for our family to buy this time?" ”

Liao Xing smiled and said, "Grandpa, farming is just eleven profits, and it is better to do business if you have silver." ”

"What business?" Master Liao picked up the ginseng tea on the table and took a sip.

"At the moment, the biggest strange commodity in Luoyang is the prince, seeing that the East Palace is even tearing his face this time and grabbing a big family, it is better to obediently send the silver over." Liao Xing said: "And I'm afraid Luoyang will change hands sooner or later, we don't have any friendship with the camp, whether we can keep the land or not." ”

"Nonsense," Master Liao is as plain as water, "sending silver to the prince?" Is there a shortage of money? You send 10,000 taels? 100,000 taels? Or a million taels? It's a bottomless pit. ”

"Then grandpa means ......" Liao Xing thought about it, but his original intention was just to say that he would rather give it away than buy land, not that it would be good to send silver.

"Take a wind, and let our family have a glorious lintel." Master Liao said easily, as if he was the crown prince.

"Grandpa is saying," Liao Xing's eyes rolled. "Send someone directly to serve His Highness?"

"What did you rely on to make your fortune?" Master Liao asked suddenly.

"North and South goods." Liao Xing replied casually, grinning at the corner of his mouth: "Grandpa is saying, we don't give silver, we send people who earn silver!" ”

"yes." Master Liao sighed with emotion: "Our family started as a businessman, and later bought land and land, one is to seek stability." The second is also because there is no one who can take the lead in your father's life. Not to mention that it's a pity that those familiar faces are the way, just those old guys have wasted all their kung fu. I want to pick some people to run errands beside the prince and experience it, and I don't ask for anything from the dragon's skills, I just want to know a few people in the official face, and then pick up the trading house, so as not to treat your ancestors for their efforts. ”

Liao Xing felt that this was a bit biased, and cautiously verified: "Grandpa, don't you want me to go?" ”

"How can you?" Master Liao looked unhappy: "How can I let you go alone!" ”

Liao Xing was stunned.

"On the imperial examination. Our family can't compare with those powerful families. When it comes to doing business, we don't scare them. Master Liao smiled and said: "Right now, your grandfather and I can also summon seven or eight big shopkeepers and twenty or thirty old account rooms with an order!" These people look cheap, and they only pay a few taels of silver a month, but in fact? These people are really invaluable assets! Don't believe it, kid, if you don't have these old people. Even if you hold the gold mountain, you will starve to death! ”

"I believe it," Liao Xing looked embarrassed. "It's just grandpa, how can we knock on the door of the East Palace?"

"Well, I've got you covered." Master Liao smiled: "The method of collecting money in the East Palace is too slow, and the knife is not fast enough. Grandpa, I've thought of a way, and I'll leave it to you now. If you take it and offer the treasure, won't there be a knock on the door? ”

Liao Xing also fantasized about what method he would use to collect money if he was in the same position as the East Palace. But I just thought about it, but I didn't expect my grandfather to go further, not only did I think about it. It also needs to be put into practice.

……

Although the Liao family is declining day by day, it is still a large family in the local area, and after several rounds, I really met Zhu Cihong. Liao Xing also showed his talent as always - no stage fright. Even in the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Liao Xing can talk eloquently, talking about his family's history and Liao's business experience.

The officials who introduced them were frightened into a cold sweat, but looking at the prince's expression, he seemed to be quite interested, which was slightly better.

How could the prince not be interested in these businessmen? He has money in his hands, and what he lacks is someone who can make it move. Even if you can't make money with money, you have to be able to spend money and make money valuable. In a society where there is no industry to speak of, silver is a metal unless it can be exchanged for something useful for people's livelihood.

"The grass people have a book in their hands, and they dare to ask His Highness to take a look." Liao Xing talked for a long time, and seeing that the crown prince's face was gentle, he presented the hard work of his grandfather and the shopkeepers in the family.

Zhu Cihong did not refuse, and glanced at it after opening it, but he was a little surprised. He pressed the book down and said to everyone at the table: "This book is written a little interestingly. Mr. Wu, Zhang Mingfu, Liao Xing, come with me to the wing room for a small meeting. ”

Wu Fu didn't expect that he was also among the summonses, but thinking that he was now Zhu Cihong's all-round master, it was also the meaning of the question to let him observe. As for Zhang Shiqi, that is the person who implements it, and he must also listen. He was just a little curious that a young man who had not yet stood up could come up with any interesting ideas for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to retire for a small meeting.

The four of them retreated to the warm pavilion, and Zhu Cihongping stepped down and transferred Liao Xing's book to Wu Fu and Zhang Shiqi. After reading it, Wu Fu just sighed that this young man's ideas were old, but Zhang Shiqi was greatly admired.

Zhang Shiqi said: "Your Highness, this method is quite similar to the opening law of the imperial court back then, and it has the meaning of hoarding Juqi in it. I thought it was possible. ”

The Kaizhong method was created in the Song Dynasty, but it was used the most in the national dynasty. At the beginning of the country, the border land was unstable, and the imperial court could not afford the consumption of transportation to the border towns, so it was convenient for Hongwu to formulate the salt regulations in the fourth year, according to the distance, the merchants could exchange a small amount (200 catties) of salt from the government for every one to five stones of grain transported. With the salt introduction, salt can be produced from the designated salt farm, and it can be sold to earn high profits. In this way, the border towns of the country were enriched with grain, and the merchants also obtained high salt profits, which can be described as a win-win situation.

Liao Xing's method is similar to that of Kaizhongfa, suggesting that the prefect's yamen should not sell the land directly, but sell the "land introduction". Only those who have land can acquire land at a low price. The original land price of the East Palace is low enough, plus a "citation", it is purely additional income, and this kind of land quotation similar to tickets is collected quickly, and the cost is just a piece of paper, which can meet the strategy of the East Palace to get a ticket and leave.

"In this way, our land does not have to be sold cheaply, and we can hold auctions like Ruyang to make money slowly." Liao Xing had already put himself in the East Palace in his heart, and he used "we" to call him arrogantly, and he also mentioned the Ruyang auction unabashedly.

Zhu Cihong also had the intention to solicit, but said with a smile: "This idea is good, but what I want is to stir up this land." ”

The reason why the Ming Dynasty was considered by later historians to have the germ of capitalism was not only because of the several looms in Jiangnan and the employment relationships in them. According to the standards of this middle school history textbook, the degree of capitalism in the Song Dynasty even exceeded that of the Ming Dynasty.

The essence of so-called capitalism is inseparable from capital. After Jiajing, South American silver mines were developed, and a large amount of silver poured into China, and silver really became a circulating currency. With the increase in the amount of money in the market, the people, especially the people in Jiangnan, generally developed simple financial ideas. Such as partnerships, shares, dividends...... Both are home-grown financial terms.

These ideas are integrated into life, and there is a pastry shop that will trade futures to avoid the risks caused by changes in food prices; A reputable commercial bank will issue bills from its own commercial bank to collect the idle funds of large families and concentrate investment. Although there is no bank in the modern sense, the cash cabinet ticket number business has a sense of large customer service.

It is precisely this general growth of capitalist ideology and the spirit of mutual respect that it is possible to give birth to capitalism in the modern sense. And the soil of Zuihou is the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to rely on the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which regarded the world as the private property of a family.

At this time, Zhu Cihong said that the land was stirred, whether it was Liao Xing, Wu Fu, or Zhang Shiqi, they didn't feel unfamiliar.

The corruption of the law is actually because of the word "fried". (To be continued......)
