Chapter 256: A Master of Financial Management
In the face of the golden dog-headed gold, even Xia Yuanji, a Dao heart, was pounding, and he couldn't help himself.
Wealth is moving, and that's right.
"Let King Zhao spread the word to the world through the Di Bao!"
Natsuhara nodded.
His consent shows the horror of being the two giants of the imperial court.
Jian Yi is in charge of the Ministry of Officials and manages hundreds of officials, but people live for money, Xia Yuanji is the head of the financial and taxation system, and he is in charge of money.
Half of the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of others.
In fact, if you take a closer look, the Inspectorate, the Six Branch Corridors, and the Jinyi Guard, including the Pingzhang Courtyard headed by Xu Jingchang, are all for supervising a few real yamen.
In other words, Lao Xia is the one who really holds the executive power.
He nodded, Ying Tian, Beiping, and the other thirteen political envoys all moved...... There are gold mines in Liaodong and huge wealth.
If you want to make a fortune, go to Liaodong.
Zhu Gaosui's newspaper can only be published in major cities, and if you want to go deep into the countryside, you have to look at the yamen at all levels.
As a result, there were soon many notices in various places.
There are also special people, standing at the gate of the village, reading and explaining to the people.
Among them, the most attentive was Shandong, they not only posted the official notice, but also posted the newspaper.
Some officials went down to various villages, beat gongs and drums, and preached lively.
Yuan Gang, the governor of Shandong, and Zuo Yutian got together, and after a little discussion, Zuo Yutian decided that he would personally go to various state capitals to take the lead in demonstrating and persuading aspiring young people to go north to hunt for treasures.
Yuan Gang said: "So I have to work hard for you, but I still have a plan, that is, can I send the prisoners in the prison to Liaodong and let them go to pan for gold?" ”
Zuo Yutian paused, "Zhongcheng plans to report to the Son of Heaven?" ”
Yuan Gang subconsciously said: "Shouldn't it be sent to Yingtian?" ”
Zuo Yutian said with a smile: "If you send it to Yingtian, when you go back and forth, I'm afraid that Shandong will already lag behind!" ”
Yuan Gang was stunned and laughed, "You are really not a nerd at all...... Otherwise, you should go down first to find out how many prisoners there are, those who can go to Liaodong, and transfer all these people to Heze and other places first, as long as the imperial court allows it, you will immediately take a boat to the north. No matter what, we can't be left behind. ”
Zuo Yutian smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, no one can stop us!" ”
These two civil officials, who held great power in Shandong, quickly reached a consensus.
In their opinion, how much gold panning is secondary, after all, it is a matter of the household, and what they really care about is to be able to send some annoying people away completely.
For example, those thieves and grass thieves who hide between the mountains and the sea.
As mentioned earlier, because the main battlefield of Jingnan is Shandong, there are many bandits in the local area, and there is even a disturbance from the White Lotus Sect.
After Yuan Gang became governor, he confiscated the Confucian family, and recently took back the land of the Qi Palace.
He gave the people land, helped the homeless people to organize their households, and pardoned the bandits, so that they could return to their hometowns, cultivate the fields, and be honest people.
It can be said that the measures of Yuan Gang and Zuo Yutian are effective.
They have greatly reduced the number of bandits in Shandong, and by the way, they have also improved the people's livelihood.
But in the end, the two of them also faced a problem that they couldn't solve.
First, after all, there are still some stubborn bandits, who do a lot of evil, kill people and sell goods, and do everything. Burdened with a lot of blood debts...... Such a person cannot be forgiven.
Second, when it is time to curb the strong and the powerful and eradicate the big ones, it is necessary to arrest many people.
Now these people are all in prison, and many of them are also court officials, so the impeachment of Yuan Gang and others continues.
Fortunately, Zhu Di sheltered them, and Pingzhangyuan also stared, and Zhu Gaochi knew what was going on.
But over time, things are not easy to say.
Many capable officials who rush to the forefront often do not end well.
Those who benefit from you may not do their best to protect you.
Those who have hurt their interests by you will definitely grit their teeth and desperately put their lives to death.
As the years passed, your credits faded and were forgotten.
At that time, it will really be inevitable to unload the mill and kill the donkey.
So for them, it's very important to solve the problem at the root.
Send all these people to Liaodong, and leave no trouble.
"Fellows, fathers...... Shandong's land is barren, and there are more and more people. Guarding one acre and three points of land, it is difficult not to starve. Now the heaven-sent opportunity has arrived, there is gold in Liaodong, come back from the gold panning, make a fortune, and glorify your ancestors! ”
"No matter who it is, even if it is a Jiangyang thief, with human lives on his back, as long as he is willing to go to Liaodong, the past will be written off."
"As long as the villagers go, after a few years, the yamen will recruit officials and give priority to hiring!"
This last one is going to kill you...... How much wealth you make, Shandong lords may not be able to see it, but if you can be an official and eat the emperor's grain, it is a big thing to glorify your ancestors, and you can't be ambiguous at all.
After the news spread, many families were moved.
There are the original guards and military households...... According to the latest decree of the imperial court, the military status has been cancelled, and the original guards can still enter the martial arts, while ordinary military households can get land and become ordinary people.
But there are always people who are unwilling, such as a family of relatives in Dengzhouwei.
Father Qi's eldest son has gone to Beiping and entered martial arts, and he also has two sons, the second child has always been honest, so he stayed at home and lived on this little property.
As for the third child, let's go to Liaodong.
"When you get there, you don't have to rush back. In the early years, his father fought Liaodong with the Duke of Liangguo and knew the situation there. Don't look at the bitter cold climate, but the land is very fertile, and the buckwheat is everywhere, so it is a good place. If you can find gold, you can find it, you can't find it, settle down, and multiply. ”
The third master of the Qi family nodded, "My son understands." ”
Two days later, he took the salute and a bag of soil from his hometown and set out on the road to Liaodong.
With him, there are many villagers.
These people are generally young people in their teens and early twenties.
If you study it a little, you will find a common characteristic, they are generally born after the fifteenth year of Hongwu. After experiencing the turmoil at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it entered the stage of recuperation.
If he was born in the first year of Hongwu, he will be able to be a father in the fifteenth year of Hongwu.
To put it bluntly, these people are the second generation of the Ming Dynasty.
By their generation, it was clear that there was not enough land.
Shandong is still in trouble because of the Battle of Jingjing, and the number of people has decreased a lot.
But even then, some people feel the pressure.
The population is increasing, but the land is not increasing.
The grandparents can still live a prosperous life, but when they reach their parents, they can only ask for food and clothing, and when it comes to the grandchildren's generation, Bacheng will starve.
Although the common people don't know the truth behind this, the pressure of life is real, and no one dares to be careless.
Since there is an opportunity, the imperial court has such support, and it is natural to fight for a fortune.
Therefore, when the news came out, there were as many as seven or eight thousand people who went to Liaodong from Shandong alone.
"That's a lot more than that." Xia Yuanji snorted: "The old man has received secret reports from Laizhou and other places, and many people have directly crossed the sea by boat and entered Liaodong. In order to bypass the Shanhaiguan controlled by the imperial court, saving fifty taels of silver. ”
Xu Jingchang said: "Lao Xia, since this is the case, are you going to send someone to supervise?" ”
Xia Yuanji smiled: "Why? ”
"That's fifty taels of walking! Can you allow someone to evade taxes? ”
Xia Yuanji laughed, "I said Dingguogong, are you a fool to be an old man?" They can hide for a while, but they can't hide for a lifetime. Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. ”
"How did you arrange that?"
"The old man has already set up household money banks in Liaoyang and Shenyang."
"Tobe money? Have you gotten rid of King Han? Xu Jingchang asked in surprise.
Xia Yuanji smiled: "Are you so stupid as an old man?" I've been reading it for several years, but I still don't understand? This time, I'm going to get all the gold rush in my hands. ”
"Lao Xia, what are you going to do?"
Xia Yuanji said with a smile: "It's not easy, if you find gold, as long as you deposit it in the household bank, I will give the corresponding amount of treasure money, and also protect their safety, if you want to go home to be escorted, if you want to stay in Liaodong, I will give convenience." There is no need to worry that their money will be taken away. ”
Xu Jingchang snorted directly: "Lao Xia, aren't you worried?" You've taken all the money away! ”
Natsuhara laughed, "Is there one?" Didn't I give the treasure money at the market price? Why don't I give some more money? ”
Xu Jingchang was speechless, this old Xia has really become bad.
Gold and silver, as the ballast stone of money, can be inflated completely.
One tael of silver as the principal can issue a treasure note equivalent to ten taels of silver.
So if you want to say that no matter how much gold panning earns, it can't compare to the imperial court, it's an order of magnitude worse!
But for the gold diggers, it's safe.
What would happen if it wasn't deposited in the imperial court? Carrying golden sand, once discovered, it will be confiscated directly, and it will be thrown into the prison.
Of course, this is not bad, if you encounter black and black, then it is estimated that people will not be able to come back.
You pay fifty taels of silver, get the brand of the imperial court, belong to the official gold digger, and you can get the assistance of the imperial court throughout the process.
Without this brand, I can't help but tremble, and in the end, if I want to deposit it in the household, I have to double the compensation.
Xia Yuanji smiled and said, "Dingguo Gong, what do you think of the old man's methods?" ”
Xu Jingchang sighed, "Old Xia, you are getting worse and worse now." You have calculated the hearts of men. ”
Xia Yuanji smiled: "It's false, it's just a small way." It's still far from rich and well-known! To tell the truth, the old man has a higher trick. ”
Xu Jingchang said: "Could it be that you want to auction off the mining rights of Liaodong?" ”
Natsuharaji's eyes widened, "How do you know?" ”
Xu Jingchang said: "The King of Han made a fortune by relying on the silk workshop, this time there is a gold mine, how can you not concoct it as well?" ”
Xia Yuanji mourned and said: "Dingguo Gong, why didn't you think that you invested in King Han back then...... Right now, the entire court is the richest you have! This time, no matter what, I can't miss the opportunity to replenish the national treasury! Let's be rich! ”
