Chapter 106: Savage Growth

In the second half of the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, in the past few months, He Xi did not seem to have seen the light of day.

This is He Xi's busiest few months, Yang Shiqi complains about the people below is true, but the most headache is He Xi himself.

The entire Beijing urban area is like a wild horse.

He Xi doesn't know if these little murderers are the first serial homicide case in history, not that there was no such murder case in Daming before, the problem is that most murder cases don't need to be so delicate at all, before there is no fingerprint technology, murderers don't have to think about whether to wear gloves, before there is no DNA technology, murderers don't have to think about cleaning up their biological information, and before there are surveillance cameras, murderers don't have to think about avoiding cameras.

In the era of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need for such a sophisticated killing plan, redundant. In general, either kill with force. That is, in front of everyone, it is to kill someone. But when I checked it above, no one dared to say it. Or, after killing someone, he will go away, and if he has ambition, he will write that the murderer is so-and-so. Either the corpse is destroyed and the traces are destroyed, anyway, there is no corpse, and there is really no proof of death.

But this kind of repeated crimes under the nose of the imperial court, hiding their identities to kill, hiding, and next time, let the government have no choice.

He Xi hadn't really heard much about it before.

Of course, He Xi felt that it was very likely that it was not reported at all.

After all, what to do if you want to solve a crime with a 100% chance? That is, the cases that have been solved are reported, and the cases that have not been solved are regarded as if they have not happened, so the case solving rate is 100%?

It's just that these murderers didn't expect that after they made a breakthrough in their criminal methods, they would instead plant themselves on the new gadget of the bank.

They just treat the bank as an ordinary bank shop, and they don't think that the operating principle behind this is completely different. Of course, for those who only save money, the banks of a few hundred years will be essentially no different from the silver shops that can store money in this era.

But banks are already the most important eyes for He Xi to peek into the entire economic situation in Beijing.

Just a year later.

There are more than 100 construction companies that undertake the construction of Beijing projects for the Ming Dynasty, most of which have a background, and the largest one is the Puzhou Society, which undertakes the project with millions of silver tickets. Together with other trading companies, it undertook almost two-thirds of the entire Beijing project.

Of course, this is not without its problems.

On the contrary, there are quite a few problems.

Those who cut corners, subcontract at various levels, deduct the wages of migrant workers, and use violent means to suppress competitors in order to monopolize the market. Bribery of officials of the Planning Department and the Banking Department, collusion between inside and outside.

And so on.

He Xi can imagine that there are all the means that are unimaginable.

What's more, King Lu sent someone to find He Xi directly, wanting to get a piece of the pie, as if he wanted to get through He Xi, the person in charge. Get straight to it.

Except for He Xi couldn't help laughing, there was naturally no effect.

Although it is said that there is nothing new under the sun, it can be said that these things are happening all the time in the Ming Dynasty. It's just that He Xi has changed the rules of the game, and these old ways of playing have extended new changes in the new environment. It's not hard to deal with.

After all, He Xi's identity and status are here. There are not many people in the entire Ming Dynasty who need to let He Xi give face. And those few people will not end up in person. For example, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who made He Xi unable to give face. Does Zhu Yuanzhang need these three melons and two dates?

But the problem is that He Xi knows that future officials will not have such a hard background as him.

What he needs is to set the rules, not to suppress them strongly. Set a standard that any future official, in most cases, can enforce. Rather than pursuing an ideal society.

Pure white and flawless.

This made He Xi have a feeling that the longer he spent in officialdom, the darker his mind became.

Yes, the line between good and evil becomes blurred.

It's like, I'm becoming the person I hate the most.

Whatever it takes to succeed. But the question is, is it okay not to succeed?

Wang Anshi is the leading scholar among the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties. The new school he founded was also all the rage at the time. But after that, it was the world of science, and Wang Anshi's knowledge who had heard of it was just some old papers.

With Wang Anshi's previous experience, does He Xi dare not succeed?

If he does not succeed, a few hundred years later, he will become some of the later generations of civil science to prove that China actually has some scientific arguments, digging his doctrine out of the pile of old papers, comparing it with the West, and proving the advanced nature of ancient China.

But does it work?

Is this what He Xi wants?

And if you want to succeed, you have to do it according to the secular rules, and the secular rules are never black and white, but gray, if you want to farm, you can't avoid fertilizing, dealing with dung, and doing big business, if you want to be innocent and untainted, it is simply impossible.

At least the social rules of the Ming Dynasty are like this, if you want to be innocent and spotless, the best way is not to do things.

Therefore, He Xi could only let Yang Zhen come forward, gather these people with backstage, and set the rules. He gave these families some preferential treatment, such as priority in business, such as priority in supply, and so on. But at the same time, in other aspects, such as quality, the treatment of migrant workers, the requirements remain unchanged at all.

And He Xi communicated directly with their backstage.

The nobles of this era of the Ming Dynasty are still of relatively high quality.

The gentleman's ze, the fifth and beheaded. Why the V? Because in the fifth life, the family elders at that time had not seen the person who founded the foundation back then. Generally speaking, the founder of the family is the best, and the second generation, even if the talent is not good, but under the words and deeds of his father, he will also be an understanding person. The third generation, under the education of the parents, is not confused, but there is not much left in the shadow of the father's generation in this era. After that, it depends on when you eat it.

Therefore, today's nobles are not capable, if most of them are people who understand, they know how to weigh the pros and cons.

First of all, they know that money is not the most important thing in this society. The most important right, they want not just money, but clean money. The money in the rules, not the money obtained from violating the law and discipline, after all, everyone has seen how Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with those nobles who violated the law and discipline.

Therefore, they actually cherish their feathers very much, and they don't want the people below to mess around and ruin their reputation.

This is different from overseas.

Overseas affairs, as long as they are killed. It will not be passed on to the Ming Dynasty. And this is Beijing, although it is the capital, but it is also a Beijing teacher. I don't know how much eyeliner is on.

Secondly, that is, He Xi.

He Xi is a red banner of law change, and many people can see it clearly, but for the nobles, they are not clear about their position on law change. Although some people have lost their interests in the field, they have also lost their interests within the family.

It's just that the nobles haven't been finalized yet. It must be known that after a few generations, within the noble family, because of the inheritance of the title, it is more feudal than other families, and it is the head of the family, that is, the inheritor of the title is in charge of the family's power of life and death, and the internal struggle of each family can be written.

It's better than palace fighting dramas.

But no matter what, they all know that the greatest power of the nobles is not money, not titles, but the army, the influence in the army. It's like Wei Guogong Xu Da, who has been in poor health since he dug a big hole in his back, and even recently his arm has been straightened. Not to mention the conquest. But so what, as long as Wei Guogong is in one day, he is the Xu Da who is the army of the world and does not dare to look up.

If the law is changed and the law is not changed, only if the army is not moved, there is no inevitable contradiction between them and He Xi, so why do they have to offend people?

What's more, He Xi has already given the steps down.

Naturally, hello, hello, everyone.

But He Xi knows that in this win-win or multi-win situation, one side must lose. No matter what kind of division of interests, it cannot satisfy everyone, everyone wins, and those who can only say that they lose have no right to speak.

He Ximing knew that he actually supported the rampant of crony capital. Even, an unspoken rule has been formed, without a certain official position and title in the family, it is impossible to grow the business to a certain extent.

However, there was nothing He Xi could do.

Even if you want to change the world, the first thing you need to do is adapt.
