Chapter 581: Highlight 2
These three graces given by the prince are simply a mighty imperial grace for all the businessmen present!
First, one and a half cents of the loan interest is attributed to the merchant, which is half a cent more than they originally expected, but don't underestimate this half of the interest, more than half a cent of one, two, two or two, that is not visible, but if it is 10 million, 20 million taels, more than half a cent, but quite a huge amount!
Let's talk about this second article, in addition to being in charge of the trial implementation of the Jiangnan Qingmiao Law, the Jianghuai deposed envoy also had the responsibility of inspecting the political achievements of Jiangnan officials and promoting the positions of officials, but the special establishment of the Qingmiao Department to handle the affairs of these businessmen has solved the worries of these businessmen, although these people say that they are here to supervise their work, but in the same way, once they encounter peasant households who are playing tricks, compared with the prefect's yamen, who are responsible for everything, the action of the Qingmiao Division will be much higher.
As for the last one, that is the grace that really makes their hearts, the plaque given by the emperor himself, the title of "imperial merchant", and the identity equivalent to the eunuch from the seven grain transportation, which means that they are no longer the lowest and most despised "businessmen" in the "Shinong Industry and Commerce", but the top "scholars"! Even if it's just an "equivalent" rather than a real job, it's enough to have a fatal attraction to them!
Looking at the holy decree behind the prince and the Qingmiao order, which symbolized the right to allocate green seedlings, everyone's eyes showed a lust of longing, and they couldn't wait to press all their net worth, just to be able to grab the final victory.
The crown prince was very satisfied with the reaction of these wealthy gentry and magnates. His slap to a sweet jujube is really infectious, and the effect is really remarkable! Thinking that after today, the emperor would be more satisfied with himself, and the smile on the prince's face became bigger and bigger, and the corners of his mouth were about to reach the root of his ears.
Li Yan walked to the prince's side quietly, secretly pulled the corner of his clothes, and silently expressed "do what you can" with her mouth, the prince immediately understood, coughed lightly, and added: "Ladies and gentlemen, Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice in Donglu, and the number of farmers is no less than 800,000. ”
In response to the prince's reminder, Emperor Mingzong nodded behind the screen, acknowledging his calmness. The purpose of today's auction is to select merchants with solid family background and reliable character to lead the allocation of green seedlings, although the highest price wins, but arbitrarily raises the bidding price, and then the family fund is hollowed out, and the green seedlings of the entire Jiangnan farmers cannot afford it, that is more than worth the loss. It is really rare for the prince to be able to beat these people in advance, and not only focus on making money to fill the treasury.
However, there is another reason for this, Emperor Mingzong's eyes floated with a fine light, the corners of his mouth smiled, and he looked at the prince with a little more satisfaction and relief. The prince has the virtue of benevolence, and it is the blessing of the community to be able to think for the people!
Emperor Mingzong turned his head slightly, saw Lin Ruo and Murong Chong, who were biting their ears quietly, and followed by Su Muyu, who was excited and ready to watch a good show, so he waved at them and ordered these people to sit beside him.
Lin Ruo calmly sat down beside Emperor Mingzong, after all, the emperor came in person, and she "moved" here. Murong Chong sat down expressionlessly, Su Muyu was a little reluctant, after all, there were a lot of constraints around the emperor. There is another reason - the holy decree of marriage between him and Qu Xiaoxiang has come down, and he is not very happy.
However, the emperor had an order, and he didn't have the courage to refuse.
"Your Majesty," Lin Ruo secretly approached Emperor Mingzong's chamber, squeezed his eyebrows and smiled slyly, and whispered in a low voice, "You haven't forgotten our bet, have you?" ”
Emperor Mingzong raised his eyebrows, looked at Lin Ruo, and snorted: "You have taken me out of the palace, how can you not count?" But you're so sure, will you win? ”
Lin Ruo's eyes crooked with a smile: "Your Majesty, if you don't come, I'm not sure." You deigned to leave the palace and came to the Star Picking Tower in person, then this bet, I will win! ”
Emperor Mingzong was still a little skeptical: "Really? ”
Lin Ruo nodded confidently: "Your Majesty, just take a good look!" This Danzhou mine will definitely belong to me! ”
Emperor Mingzong looked at Lin Ruo, who was bamboo-chested, and turned his attention to the outside of the screen, the prince had already completed his generous statement, and Li Yan had also arranged everything, and nodded to Yang Zhuo, the shopkeeper of the Star Picking Building who was holding a small copper hammer in front of the auction table, and the auction began. This group of wealthy gentry and businessmen who participated in the auction are all like chickens at this moment, eager to try, ready to bid at any time.
Look at this situation - maybe, it is really Lin Ruo who can win the bet.
The bet between Emperor Mingzong and Lin Ruo is actually very simple, if the final bid today exceeds 10 million taels, then Lin Ruo wins, Emperor Mingzong wants to issue an order to hand over two copper mines and an iron mine near Danzhou to the Lin family for mining; If not, then Lin Ruo will make up the difference between the final transaction price and the price of 10 million taels.
After last year's Fenghua Xuehua Kui, now a lot of grain in Jiangnan is in Lin Ruo's hands, with Lin Ruo's temperament, when the grain is collected, it will inevitably not be lowered, but the grain will be collected at the approved official price. Therefore, as long as the farmers who have received the seedling loan work diligently, it is basically no problem to pay off the loan interest, and it can even motivate them to work hard to increase production and accumulate a surplus for themselves.
But even so, it is really difficult for the final auction to sell for more than 10 million taels.
You must know that according to the estimation of the household department, before the 30th day of the first month of each year, the summer material is loaned, and the autumn material is loaned before May 30, and the summer material and autumn material are repaid with the second tax in May and October respectively, and the interest is collected by two cents each. It is estimated that the green seedlings to be loaned out in summer and autumn will be more than 10 million taels. As a result, the annual loan interest income is almost in the millions. The right to allocate the seedlings in this auction is only five years, which means that if you spend 10 million taels or more to bid for this right, the income will be very small. Of course, it is not denied that there is a long-term vision, after all, the prince also said that if he does well in the past five years, then he can do it for another five years, and then he can do it for another five years. However, such a huge amount of money may not be without such a return if it is invested in other businesses, so whether the final bid can exceed 10 million taels is unlikely after discussion among the household officials.
But this bet, Emperor Mingzong should make it.
The reason is very simple, because of this bet, he will not lose anything, but Lin Ruo is half of the profit and loss.
