Chapter 305: What's the Problem? (Ask for a commuter pass!) )

After sending off the two officials of the government who were very satisfied, Lin Daguan returned to the house.

Gao Changjiang still couldn't help but ask: "Taking out five thousand taels in one go, it's not a small amount, is it really no problem?" ”

Earning 5,000 taels a year and taking out 5,000 taels of silver at once are two concepts.

Lin Daguan said confidently: "You can rest assured, those Yangzhou salt merchants have silver!"

After I straightened out the Suzhou side, I went to Yangzhou to find silver, and returned to Suzhou after the autumn harvest to solve the deficit of Jinong Warehouse, without delay at all! ”

Gao Changjiang reminded again: "Jinongcang wants physical goods, not silver, which is also the biggest significance of Jinongcang."

Only 5,000 taels of silver is not enough to succeed, and 10,000 stone of rice and grain must be put into storage, which is more difficult than simply making up 5,000 taels of silver. ”

Those with a little social common sense understand that although buying a few buckets of rice and buying 10,000 stone rice are both buying rice, they are two completely different concepts of trading.

To take the simplest example, if Lin Daguan said that he would buy 10,000 stone rice, the price of rice in Fengqiao Town, the largest rice city in Suzhou City, would only rise by 30%.

In addition, there is a situation that many people do not know, known as the granary of the world, and the Jiangnan, especially the Suzhou area, which has to send a large amount of grain to the imperial court every year, in the late Ming Dynasty, in fact, the local grain is not enough for the locals to eat.

The reasons for this are complex, and the main reasons are none other than the development of industry and commerce and the rapid increase in population.

In this context, Lin Daguan wants to get 10,000 stone meters, and it is only said that the acquisition itself is also a complicated project.

At this moment, the guy guarding outside the door came to report again, and Yuan Xianzun from Changzhou County came to visit.

Lin Daguan smiled at Gao Changjiang and said, "Isn't 10,000 stone grains coming?" ”

Gao Changjiang: "??? ”

After that, Lin Daguan immediately trotted out to greet him, and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Shi Gong is the most important talent in the world, how can he come in person?" It really torments me!

I haven't seen him for months, I haven't listened to Mr. Shi Gong's teachings, and I miss it very much! I should have come to the door in person!

This spring, I fought hard against the retro faction in the capital, but without the talent and guidance of Mr. Yuan Shigong, I failed to completely suppress the retro faction.

It seems that the heavy task of shaking the hegemony of the retro school in the future will still depend on Mr. Shi Gong! ”

Yuan Hongdao, the magistrate of Changzhou, was called Shi Gong at this time, and he was very surprised when he heard the words of Lin Daguan.

In the past, you Lin Tailai just boasted about yourself, after all, you Lin Tailai was just a community leader at that time, and his literary name was limited to Suzhou, and he had requirements for himself in all aspects.

Now that the situation has changed, and the identity and influence of Ling Lin Tailai have been very different, why is he still touting himself like a small character?

Even the former prefect was disgraced and left by you Lin Tailai, and he Yuan Hongdao is just a prefect!

"Speak well! Don't pretentious! Yuan Hongdao was very casual, withdrew from the threshold, and pointed to Lin Daguan and said.

After being in Suzhou City for so long, can you still not know what kind of temperament you Lin Daguan has? Pretending to be a little fan brother like this, who is disgusting?

Lin Daguan replied: "My respect for Mr. Shi Gong is from the heart, especially my respect for Mr. Shi Gong's ancestors, it is also from the bottom of my heart!" ”

Yuan Hong said: "??? ”

It's just a good tout, and suddenly what are you talking about your ancestors doing?

It is rumored that once Lin Daguan's words suddenly start jumping or forcibly turning, it means that he is ready to dig a pit.

I heard Lin Tai say again: "I heard that Mr. Shi Gong's great-grandfather, Ren Xia Shangqi, is famous for his bravery. ”

Yuan Hong said: "."

What does it mean? Do you want to say that you are the same as my great-grandfather?

Lin Daguan did not emphasize too much on the similarities with Yuan Hongdao's great-grandfather, and continued:

"I also heard that Mr. Shi Gong's grandfather was the most famous rice merchant in Jingzhou, and he once lent 2,000 stones to others in one go in a disaster year, and burned the loan coupons, I have great respect for this righteous deed!"

Gao Changjiang, who was accompanying the guests next to him, finally understood in seconds, and it turned out that the mystery of sitting in the museum was here!

Dig out some money and let Yuan Hongdao's family pull 10,000 stones of rice from Huguang Jingzhou, won't it be over!

He had also heard that Huguang's grain production had grown rapidly in recent years, and some people who did not know the height of the earth began to boast that "Huguang is ripe and full of the world."

And the area around Jingzhou, where the Yuan family is located, is a grain-producing area, and at the same time, the Yuan family is a rice merchant, so isn't that a completely professional counterpart!

went to Yangzhou to scrape silver, transported rice from Huguang, and finally solved the deficit of Suzhou City's agricultural warehouse.

What is the pattern, this is called the pattern!

Yuan Hongdao blinked his eyes a few times, first said his great-grandfather, and then said his grandfather, is it going to talk about his father next?

Lin Daguan sighed: "Now that the two counties of Suzhou City have a deficit of 10,000 stones, I have the heart to emulate Ling's grandfather's righteous deeds, but I don't have rice in my hands." ”

Yuan Zhixian certainly knew about the deficit of the county Jinongcang, and he personally asked the government to ask for it.

It's just that Yuan Zhixian didn't expect that Lin Daguan would actually take this matter up, and directly sighed in front of him that there was no rice.

After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Xianzun said magnificently: "With the friendship between you and me, if it is a few hundred stone meters, I can be the master and give it to you!" ”

Then he was very embarrassed and said, "But the amount of 10,000 stones is too big to give away." ”

Lin Tailai asked suspiciously, "Who said you would send me 10,000 stones?" ”

Yuan Zhixian said in surprise: "Aren't you Lin Daguan the most fond of white prostitution?" ”

As a celebrity, he can't escape the fate of being choreographed by man-made rumors, and Lin Daguan can't help it if he is a little angry.

"I'll pay for it! Just ask your family to transport rice to Suzhou, and then the price is a little better, don't fluctuate! ”

Yuan Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was really willing to pay, so it was easier to say.

10,000 stone is a big deal, how can a merchant not want to eat a big deal?

Yuan Hongdao, as a loser who can only read and have fun, feels that if he can bring a big deal to his family, his waist will be even harder in the future.

Then a new problem arises, and the long-distance transportation of bulk goods is also a very troublesome matter.

If there is no one to escort it, the risks are immeasurable, and Yuan Zhixian does not want to try his luck with his own 10,000 stone rice.

So he asked: "From Huguang Jingzhou to Suzhou, the waterway is quite convenient, and it is enough to go down the river and then turn into the canal."

There is no problem with the waterway in Huguang, but when you reach the downstream Jiangxi and Nanzhili territories, can you protect it thoroughly? ”

"You have also seen the capital of the king of Hushu tariffs, and he will be transferred to another place soon.

It is a bit difficult to promote him to be the prefect of Jiujiang, but it seems that he can be transferred to Jiujiang Pass as a tax envoy, and then serve as a yamen such as patrolling the river.

In this case, there should be no problem with this section of the waterway in Jiangxi. ”

Yuan Zhixian continued to ask: "What about this section of the territory of Nanzhili? ”

Speaking of the management system of Nanzhili, it may be the most complicated area, Jiangbei belongs to the governor of Fengyang, and Jiangnan belongs to the governor of Yingtian, so who is in charge of the river?

The answer is that the upstream and downstream rivers are all under the control of Nanjing, from the river defense battalions to the imperial history of Caojiang, they are all under the big plate of Nanjing.

Lin Tailai remembered something, and asked rhetorically: "Has there been any news about the imperial history of Hai Qingtian in Nanjing?" ”

Yuan Zhixian shook his head blankly, "I haven't heard of it, why do you ask this?" ”

Lin Daguan knows very well that if the original historical process is followed, Hai Rui should have died this year.

I don't know if I will be angry in this time and space, after coming into contact with myself, I will live for two more years.

So far, at least, no news is good news.

"I can also say a few words to Hai Qingtian in Nanjing City." Lin Daguan groaned and said: "When the time comes, I will write a letter to Hai Qingtian, saying that there are 10,000 stones to make up for the deficit of Suzhou City's agricultural warehouse rice and grain from the river, please take care of Hai Qingtian." ”

Yuan Hong said: "."

Is this moral kidnapping, or is it moral kidnapping? But when you think about it, it should still be useful.

In this case, this section of the river in Nanzhili should not be a big problem.

Then the Jiangnan Canal is not a problem later, after all, this is the territory of Zhao Zhigao, the governor of Yingtian.

Having said this, Yuan Zhixian finally realized that the proposal of transporting 10,000 stones of rice from his hometown to Suzhou City was not a pipe dream, it was very feasible.

Lin Daguan added oil and vinegar and said: "We are rich in Suzhou products, and after the rice boat from Huguang comes, it will definitely not return empty, and it can carry a batch of goods back to Huguang, so that you can make a lot of money."

I really can't do it, so I arrange some white goods and let the rice ship be transported back. ”

"What white goods?" Yuan Zhixian was puzzled.

Lin Daguan replied: "It's a very salty kind of thing." ”

Yuan Zhixian was speechless, he came to Lin Tailai today because it was the second half of the year, and it was not three or four months before the winter leisure.

Therefore, Yuan Zhixian, who tasted the sweetness of the Sanjiangkou Project last year, wanted to come and work with Lin Daguan to make a summary of what scenic projects could be carried out this year, and the inscriptions and poems should be brewed in advance.

But I never expected that I would find such a big business for my hometown.

After thinking about it, Yuan Hongdao said: "I will write to my father immediately. ”

Lin Daguan continued to say numbly: "Wait for the good news! Whether this thing is successful or not, it will not affect my admiration for Mr. Shi Gong! ”

After sending away Yuan Hongdao, the magistrate of Changzhou, Lin Daguan said to Gao Changjiang lightly: "What do you think? It's not difficult to have 10,000 stone of grain, what's the problem? ”

In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Daguan's return to Suzhou this time does not seem to have changed much, and he is still so arrogant. It's just that no one in Suzhou has messed with him now, so he lost the opportunity to do it.

But in the eyes of his own cronies like Gao Changjiang, Lin Daguan has changed a lot.

What Lin Daguan has been pondering before is that one is to fight and kill in the rivers and lakes, and the other is how to collude with officials and grab resources.

Now Lin Daguan is thinking more about how to dispatch resources and how to allocate resources.

Moreover, the vision is not limited to Wuxian or Suzhou City, and it has begun to form higher-dimensional interest groups across regions and systems.

Gao Changjiang had heard of many models of the Jiangnan family, but he had never seen Lin Tailai's type.

Let's start with a change and ask for the last monthly pass of the month!
