Genzi everyone likes it, not to mention this easy to get silver, take it!, you won't have nightmares at night, and you don't worry about the impeachment of the imperial envoy during the day, the officials have a deep understanding, it turns out that the new deal is to give you silver for nothing.

In fact, as officials, none of them are stupid, they roughly understand the context of the entire interest chain, and there seems to be no risk, and as for the benefits, they are also amazing.

It is no wonder that Zhejiang's official food has not been lost, and in the past year, there has been no imperial envoy to impeach Zhejiang officials for corruption.

Knowing this, those officials who are already inclined to the New Deal naturally have a plan in their hearts, while those who oppose the New Deal are tormented in their hearts, on the one hand, if they oppose the New Deal, the new Governor will allow you to have a good life, and on the other hand, the benefits are really tempting, and the attraction is too great, making people feel that it is a pity to abandon them.

For a few days, the Governor's Yamen finally came to the news, saying that the Governor was going to summon the governors of the prefectures and counties, approaching the end of the year, only the last few days remained, this year, I am afraid that it can only be spent in Hangzhou, everyone early in the morning, rushed to the Governor's Yamen, and rushed in, Nanzhili, Fujian, and local officials in Hangzhou, bustling, there are more than 200 people, so many people, and they can't take care of too much etiquette, in the Governor's Hall, but there are people everywhere they can stay, but since the Governor does not talk about these rules, everyone naturally has nothing to say, Although it was uncomfortable to stand in dense crowds, I couldn't help but have some expectations in my heart.

Xu Qian arrived immediately, and as soon as he arrived, everyone said together: "I've seen Master Zhengtai." ”

Some people want to salute, but the conditions are limited, but fortunately, Xu Qian pressed his hand and said: "No need to be polite, how many days have you lived in Hangzhou, how do you feel?" ”

This is straight to the point, but the attitude of the Governor is quite kind, so it does not make people worry.

After Xu Qian asked, he then looked sideways at Zhang Ye, the prefect of Hangzhou, and said with a bit of blame: "I heard that the Hangzhou Mansion is not taking good care of it, right?" ”

This sentence seems to be a question to the prefect of Hangzhou, Zhang Ye, but those who are interested find that this Zhang Ye's heel is standing firm, in front of so many people, criticize Zhang Ye, and it is a painless criticism, what does it mean? According to the rules of officialdom, if the governor does not like the Governor Zhang's mansion, he will definitely not reprimand him at will, but will see the opportunity to kill people at once. And scolding in front of everyone, it means that the relationship between the two people is good, just like a teacher who reprimands his protégé in front of others, in front of others, my protégé is disobedient and refuses to make progress.

Many people couldn't help but glance at Zhang Ye with envy, the surname Zhang had just been appointed as the prefect of Hangzhou, and it had only been a few days before he was introduced as a cronie by Xu Zhitai, this guy has a great future in the future.

Zhang Ye was also happy in his heart, and said busily: "The lower officials are indeed inconsiderate, and please invite your Excellency Haihan." ”

However, everyone excused him and said: "My lord Hugh wants to blame Lord Zhang and the Hangzhou Mansion for his hospitality, and the officials and others are already grateful." ”

Xu Qian smiled slightly, and did not continue to discuss further: "This official has received the grace of the Holy Grace, and now the general system is directly in Zhejiang, think about it, why did the Holy Lord want to promote this official to the governor?" Without it, it is nothing more than the new policy of Zhejiang has been effective, and with the results, the holy reward and the imperial court are happy, and now since the governor of Zhejiang, then the new policy of the two places of Zhejiang and Fujian is also imperative, what do you think? ”

Many people originally had the impression that the New Deal was too risky, that they were officials, and that no one wanted to be radical. But now, with interests and benefits, everyone's minds have begun to come alive.

In fact, the most fundamental reason is that these people have worked hard and really greedy for a lot of silver, and these silvers have been sent back to the township to buy land, but the current market in the Ming Dynasty is that the land is becoming less and less valuable, and the income from farming is getting lower and lower.

The reality of the situation is very grim, to put it bluntly, that is, the former pastoral life has been difficult to maintain, since it can not be maintained, then the only way is to find another way, and now, the only way out is the New Deal, at least the New Deal in Zhejiang pointed out a broad road to them.

Someone finally said: "What my lord said makes sense, since the new policy is the will of the imperial court, then the officials and others will act in accordance with the governor's yamen." ”

Then many people chimed in.

Xu Qian smiled and said: "If you want a new policy, now Zhejiang has set an example, so this official will talk about it roughly." On the side of Nanzhili, Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, followed Ningbo, Zhejiang, to build a port for the sea route to appease the sea ships of the embassy to dock and load and unload goods. As for Fujian, it takes Quanzhou as the mouth of the sea, in addition, waterways, roads, schools, these have the need to build, this matter, is still the Zhejiang Money and Grain Bureau to do, and your lords, you have to stay in Zhejiang for a month or two, then the governor Yamen, will be divided into Zhejiang provinces and counties to observe the government, first see how Zhejiang does, everyone has in their hearts, and then go back to the local area, the implementation of the new policy. Do you have any comments? ”

Even if there are opinions, no one dares to mention them in person, but Xu Qian's arrangement is quite reasonable, to have a new deal, the most important thing is the port, because with the port, there will be a large number of workshops gathered, after these workshops continue to expand, they will recruit a considerable number of apprentices, and when these workers are more and more, the consumption power will naturally skyrocket, after that, foreign trade and domestic demand can rise together to drive more businessmen to settle in.

And for the officials of the prefectures and counties, the most important thing at the moment is not to recruit businessmen, but to go to the counties of Zhejiang to observe the government, first see what the colleagues in Zhejiang do, and then go back to promote, when the new deal in Zhejiang began, there was almost no precedent, and even the businessmen established workshops, they could not help but have doubts, but now, the atmosphere has been very good, what they want to do is to follow the rules.

In fact, Nanzhili over there, Xu Qian is not worried, after all, Nanzhili has always been commercially developed, and it is the most important cotton producing area in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a port in Songjiang Huating County, when the time comes, many businessmen will definitely flock to go, in the past, many silk spinning to the Nanzhili provinces to buy cotton, and then transport to Ningbo, Hangzhou for processing, but now, it is completely possible to set up workshops in the production area, process nearby, and then pass through the waterway built by Guò Nanzhili, and transport it out.

The trouble is Fujian, Fujian is a mountainous area, although Quanzhou is a good port, before the ban on the sea, this Quanzhou is the world's largest port at that time, and the sense of doing business is extremely strong, just use the method of widening the river to establish a waterway network, I am afraid that it is not easy, the traffic is inconvenient, which means that in the place that can be connected by waterway, where it can not be used, it can only take the sea route.

Xu Qian set the tone, and then said solemnly: "What should be said, that is, if you have any concerns, you can just say it." ”

The prefect of Quanzhou couldn't help but say: "My lord, there is something unclear about the lower officials, Fujian is not as good as Nanzhili and Zhejiang, for example, the goods from Zhejiang are to be transported to Songjiang, and they can go directly to the inland river, but what if the goods from Fujian are transported to Songjiang?" ”

This is indeed a difficult problem, such as Fujian's tea, want to transport to Songjiang Mansion to sell, the problem will come out, because in the past, everyone was by land, recruited foot power, carrying the burden, all the way to the north, but compared to now, Fujian's disadvantages are very obvious, that is, the same goods, you have to hire someone to carry the burden to send out, compared with the goods in other places, your transportation costs and the time delayed, often increased several times, if so, then Fujian, why to compete with others, And how can you attract businessmen to set up workshops? After all, the goods to be appeased by sea are limited, and domestic sales are the most important, and the cost of domestic sales is one or two silver, and you add freight, but it is two taels, who is willing to buy?

This Quanzhou prefect has a lively brain, and after staying in Hangzhou for a few days, he seems to have figured out the way of the new deal.

Xu Qian smiled slightly and said, "This is easy, sea transportation." ”

Although sea freight is still much more expensive than river transportation, it is much less expensive than transporting goods on two legs.

But the question came again, and the prefect said, "It's just ...... I'm afraid that it is not easy to transport by sea, the imperial court forbids the sea, and the sea route appeases the envoy to anchor, but how do ordinary businessmen go to sea? ”

Xu Qian pondered for a moment and said: "It's better to do this, on the one hand, in Fujian, the construction of a large number of civil projects, can make the transportation as convenient as possible, the matter of silver, in fact, it is easy to say, the money and grain bureau will try to raise, on the other hand, you can let the sea route pacification envoy set up a special fleet, specially between Quanzhou and Ningbo Port and Songjiang Port to open up a route, Quanzhou's goods, can be used by sea to pacify the fleet of the embassy, consignment to Songjiang, Ningbo, what do you think?" ”

This is a viable solution, and in this day and age, it is the only way to solve this problem.

In spite of this, the sea route pacification envoy must lose some money, so as to ensure the competitiveness of the Fujian workshop, only the price of transportation to the minimum, in order to ensure their competitiveness, so that the businessmen are willing to go to Fujian to build a workshop, but the sea route pacification envoy to lose some is not harmful, after all, so much profit every year, just take out some, it is enough to subsidize.

The prefect of Quanzhou made up his mind, nodded his head and said: "If this can be the case, Fujian's new policy will be much lighter." ”

Chapter 2 is delivered.
