Chapter 10 The First Quest Red Mansion Jia Yu Village 9
Lu Renbing is one of the main forces in carving up these families. In half a year, Lu Renbing collected a lot of money, more than 30 thousand gold and silver, and seven Zhuangzi with more than 100 hectares.
Sanjin bought more than ten houses, and there were twenty or thirty shops. The rest of the financial money is a blockage, and there are eyes of people who love to read, all of which belong to Jiaoxing, and Lu Renbing doesn't care at all.
The few masters who followed Lu Renbing to take up the post also followed the fat brains and mouths full of oil. I had learned about Jia Yucun's past experience before, and they thought that they had to persuade this Jia Fujun hard to open their minds. Unexpectedly, Jia Taishou was already familiar with the road, and he did not refuse to come to all kinds of doorways. If Jia Fujun had been in such a form from the beginning, I am afraid that he would have been promoted to the cabinet by now.
The power of each family declined, and the authority of Jia Fujun in Jinling rose, because he concentrated on dealing with many wealthy families and slaves, and quickly understood the various cases accumulated over the years. The bitter lords who complained also received the justice they demanded to some extent. For those men and women who were robbed of their land, Lu Renbing also asked for it back through various means.
With the advent of autumn, dozens of high-ranking slaves who were usually very domineering in Jinling and a few broken heads greatly pleased the people of Jinling.
In addition, for several months, there have been groups of former and now angry slaves, who have been beaten and sent to the army. Jia Fujun, Jia Qingtian is not afraid of the reputation of the powerful and powerful.
The heads of the governor's palace who were stationed in Jinling, the political envoys, the judges, and the heads of the governor's palace were very apprehensive. However, in this feast, Jia Fujun's gold and silver plugs have blocked the small mouths of officials at all levels, and everyone is just eating and eating.
Jiangnan officialdom is a harmonious scene.
Jia Fujun now has a big family, and Jiao Xing also lives in a big house with five entrances, with more than 100 servants and servants. is also a big family, and Jia Fujun is not alone now.
The important stewards and servants of the family are all purchased from other places to ensure that their wealth is clean. The big housekeeper is the housekeeper of a medium-sized family who was implicated in the sins of the clan and was sold by the family. This housekeeper is in his forties, surnamed Su, and his name is Min. has a wife and two sons, both of whom were bought by Lu Renbing. His eldest son was more than ten years old and began to run errands with Steward Su, and his youngest son followed Jia Yue to study at the age of seven or eight.
The housekeepers, warehouse managers, nursing homes and other large and small stewards are also people with rich experience and relatively reliable character. The red deeds of these people are all in the hands of Lu Renbing, and he is not afraid of them escaping.
Su Min is proficient in maritime trade, and his previous family is also a famous family in Suzhou. This is also the reason why Lu Renbing bought Su Min's family at a high price.
Wait for Su Min's housekeeper for a month, after being fully approved by Lu Renbing. Lu Renbing began to let Su Min start maritime trade matters again.
Su Min's previous sea trade was mainly with Japan and North Korea, with a scale of two small ships of 500 materials, and the track was mainly offshore.
The trade with Hongyi was controlled by the merchants of Fujian and Guangdong and the imperial court, and they needed to slowly build relationships with the people there in order to transform.
Lu Renbing didn't understand this, and gave him 200,000 taels to toss, this kind of trust moved Su Min greatly. Su Min took the silver and manpower to buy ships and purchase goods. In the end, 5 ships were bought, and a number of sailors were beaten, which opened the journey of sea trade. Lu Renbing gave a heavy gift to Wang Ziteng and obtained the protection of the Wang family in maritime trade. will not be excluded by others, Lu Renbing will come forward to deal with the official face, and Su Min will be responsible for the forces on the water and the rivers and lakes. Anyway, it is money, force and power to open the way, do not challenge the rules, and develop.
Lu Renbing opened a high-tech for the sailor's family, responsible for properly relocating his family, winning people's hearts, and also paying generous wages for the stewards who went to sea. The wine and meat are enough, the clothes are distributed in the four seasons, and the fields are returned. In short, it is to make these people die with all their hearts.
For the profit of the fleet, Lu Renbing also promised not to take it within five years, and continued to buy ships, docks, workshops related to maritime trade, digging people, digging craftsmen, in short, the scale is to do large, and strive to divide a piece of land in Luzon and Borneo and colonize the fields. He also promised that in the future, he would release their entire family into slavery. Su Min is full of energy.
Everything is arranged and self-cultivation begins.
The chaos of the families in Jinling gradually subsided, and autumn arrived. The autumn grain was put into storage as scheduled, Jiangnan is a major tax province of the imperial court, and the imperial court is very close to the taxation of Jiangnan Province, so there is no room for negligence. This year, because of Lu Renbing's urging, there were no major disasters in Jinling, and the flood season was passed safely. The taxes were sufficient, and because of the domestic slave case, the treasury had a surplus.
When winter comes, it is necessary to repair the pond and the river embankment, and to levy labor. Jiangnan is rich, and many people have the practice of paying exemption money for military service. Therefore, it is a troublesome matter to repair the embankment and the manpower organization of Pitang every winter.
Jiangnan has developed commerce and trade, manpower is expensive, and the exemption money stipulated by the imperial court is simply not enough to hire locals to work. Therefore, when the winter service period comes, the counties will pass the buck to each other, resulting in hasty repairs and leaving many hidden dangers.
Because in addition to the task, Lu Renbing's most important task is to gain merit and reduce karma. If there is a flood in Jinling in the coming year, all the sins will be counted on the head of the prefect.
So he has to do his best to complete these government affairs and do his duty.
Fortunately, this year's treasury is full, and keeping this money is not devoured by all kinds of moths, it is better to spend it. Since it is difficult for the government to recruit conscription, it is better to stop urging conscription and collect money. Those who are willing to serve are not forced to pay money.
Lu Renbing ordered all counties to make a unified register and report the dikes that needed to be repaired, and hand over the service money of each county to the government treasury in proportion. This year, these projects in Jinling Prefecture have been awarded in a unified manner.
Merchants of all sizes in various counties have been notified to come to Jinling Mansion to contract the project. In short, it is a bidding bid for each section. Development of engineering standards, deadlines and reserve prices.
According to their own capabilities, each merchant bids for each section. Recruit people to repair the contracted section by themselves, and after completing and accepting the project on schedule, they will come to Fucheng to receive money. Reward good merchants who complete and punish merchants who make mistakes.
These projects are a burden to do in the government, and in the hands of these businessmen, they are fat differences, which used to be black box operations, but now they are put on the bright side, although it is inevitable that they will be shady, but they still give many people who have the heart to make a fortune a chance. The sections reported by the counties were quickly sold out, and many merchants did not get their jobs, so they got rid of the government and opened more projects.
After Lu Renbing's estimation of the treasury, he felt that there was no problem. The amount of work has doubled, including the repair of government schools in various places, the repair of cities, the repair of official roads and bridges, the repair of Keats Monastery, and so on.
For a time, Jinling was boiling, the government and the people were praised, and Jinling was full of construction sites. The atmosphere in winter is comparable to the height of summer. The stimulus effect of large-scale government housing investment on the local economy is exponentially magnified.
The money released by Lu Renbing, after turning over and eating, was slowly recovered through various taxes. The people of Gangneung Province are prosperous and strong. The reputation of Jiafujun and Qingtian went straight to Beijing.
Lu Renbing, in addition to government affairs, constantly enrich himself, because of Jia Yucun's knowledge and memory, Lu Renbing's study of ancient texts and classics is effortless. Reading ancient books, the subset of the history of the people do not refuse, often visit the local famous scholars and Confucians in Jinling, and ask for teaching questions. Reading poetry and books, coupled with Lu Renbing's modern thinking to corroborate each other, the whole person's mind began to become different.
A slight increase in the intelligence attribute is the best proof of this. The opening of the book is beneficial, and the ancients said that they did not deceive me. In terms of physical fitness, Lu Renbing invited all the experts in the rivers and lakes to learn boxing and foot kung fu. This is not a martial arts plane, so there is no systematically recognized martial arts cheats.
But the fist and foot routines, the method of strengthening the body did learn a lot.
In addition to studying, Lu Renbing also learned medical Taoism from the local apricot forest masters in Jinling. Ask Taoist monks for advice on the method of self-cultivation, and ask monks for advice on the way of cultivating the mind.
Anyway, to outsiders, it seems that Jia Fujun is a tireless person, and in addition to government affairs, he still keeps his hands on the book and is diligent in learning. Fame is growing.
