1075 Success
So the meeting on the building boat lasted from the morning until the beginning of the day! In one day, these experienced shopkeepers supplemented Liu Haojia's plan in detail and put forward a lot of suggestions, which were all adopted as appropriate!
When he went to the shore to rest after dinner, Liu Haojia did not get a rest. Because his door was knocked again and again! Just walked a person, and another person came! The visit of these shopkeepers is not just to appease Liu Haojia, but to provide him with evidence! They told Liu Haojia about the bad deeds of the officials they knew one by one, so that he could bargain with these officials!
Seeing this situation, Liu Haojia couldn't cry or laugh! These people clearly know what their companions are here for, otherwise the time would not be so accurate! This can only show one problem, they all know that their companions are here to snitch, and then act as if they don't know! So Liu Haojia is a little better, just a little saliva, but the family next to him is sour in his wrists!
After the shopkeepers left, Liu Haojia began to write to the thousands of households that had just arrived everywhere, asking them to cooperate with these shopkeepers to carry out the whole plan. He is ready to take advantage of the terrifying atmosphere caused by his wanton arrest this time to make this matter a reality!
But what he never expected was that he originally thought that the implementation of this plan would be greatly hindered, but the opposition was minimal! Judging from the feedback from various places, officials in various places are only bargaining over specific amounts, and there are more supportive attitudes towards the whole thing!
Liu Haojia understood the truth after a little thought. Of course, some local officials were frightened when they saw a large number of colleagues being arrested, and took the opportunity to show favor to Liu Haojia. But the bigger reason is that the local gentry also have a large part of them supporting Liu Haojia's proposal!
In fact, after all these years of maritime trade, the Jiangnan gentry have begun to gradually diverge! One type of gentry is the traditional gentry, who is obsessed with mastering a large amount of land and population, and then accumulates wealth through farming, and improves the family rank by studying and taking imperial examinations.
But at the same time a new kind of gentry appeared, which profited from the cultivation of cash crops and participation in the production of large workshops. In fact, they are already the prototype of factory owners!
And this kind of gentry has tasted the sweetness of sea trade, but in the past, in order to monopolize the interests of sea trade, they disguised themselves as forbidden sea factions. Now they can't profit from the back, so they have turned into an open sea faction!
As for the traditional gentry, they were not at all interested in opening or forbidding the sea, they only wanted large-scale land annexation. But by the middle and late Ming Dynasty, land annexation had reached a threshold, that is, there was not much land to annex!
Moreover, there are also a large number of displaced people who have no land to grow on their land. This is a dangerous signal for the traditional gentry! When the peasants had no land to plant, they were prone to rebellion, and the local gentry were the first to bear the brunt! However, the factories built by the gentry who were willing to participate in the workshops were able to absorb a large number of displaced people. Mitigating the danger of rebellion by the homeless is beneficial to the traditional gentry!
So with the support of the gentry, Liu Haojia's plan was implemented smoothly! As a result, a very strange phenomenon has now been created in Jiangnan, on the one hand, the Jinyi guards are shouting arrest, shouting killing, shouting and beating, constantly arresting officials and gentry, as well as errand officials, making the sky cry and cry, and the clouds are miserable!
Since the gentry are in favor, the officials will naturally not object! As for their attitude, on the contrary, it is more radical than that of the gentry! Because the areas where these chambers of commerce are located are all larger cities, the official positions there are relatively high, so they can naturally see things more clearly!
They clearly know that if the sea trade is completely liberalized, the money they lost will be replenished in the sea trade, and they will make more profits! Because the profits of the Chamber of Commerce have increased, even in a small percentage of the silver they have received more than before!
After all, the sea trade is a shipload of goods out, pull a shipload of silver back! Especially under the escort of the Ming Navy, the risk of going to sea has been infinitely reduced, and at the same time, it is the businessmen who advocate going to sea who take the risk, so how can this kind of good thing of lying down and making money not agree to come down!
On the other hand, some officials and gentry happily united and began to raise money, buy sea ships, recruit people, and prepare to go to sea. The entire Jiangnan is in this state of ice and fire!
So Liu Haojia sat in Nanjing for more than seven months, under the suppression of thousands of Jinyi guards and 10,000 new troops, as well as the cooperation of officials and gentry who were willing to participate in the maritime trade, the whole Jiangnan did not make any trouble, so that he achieved the original goal! That is, he completely mastered the Jinyi Guard in Jiangnan and divided the officials and gentry in Jiangnan. When the gentry return from investing in the first ships of maritime trade, the gentry in Jiangnan will be completely divided!
So after the eighth month, Liu Haojia finally returned! However, only his own family and 10,000 new troops followed him back, and the other brocade guards had been scattered by him and scattered to various guards! They will control any wind and grass in Jiangnan for Liu Haojia!
After more than a month of trekking, Liu Haojia finally rushed back to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, he returned the team to the Fengtai camp as soon as possible, and then rushed directly to the palace.
Hearing that Liu Haojia was back, Emperor Wanli was extremely happy, and pushed everything down to meet him! As soon as the two met, without waiting for Liu Haojia to give a gift, Emperor Wanli said loudly: "Don't give a gift, tell me about Aiqing's harvest in Jiangnan!" Although you always have a notebook to send you, the notebook is always unclear! ”
Liu Haojia naturally agreed. Then he explained in detail what he had done in Jiangnan. In the end, he concluded: "The health center, this time can be regarded as a lot of benefits! First of all, after Jiangnan's Jinyi Wei has been cleaned, it has been completely in the hands of the Long Live Lord! In the future, Long Live Lord will no longer know anything about Jiangnan as before! If there is any situation in Jiangnan, no one else is needed, and Jinyiwei can take the lead in dealing with it! ”
Hearing this, Emperor Wanli nodded vigorously and said, "This thing is really good!" I really didn't expect that my brocade guards would be infiltrated like this by the local officials and gentry! If you hadn't found out earlier, this Jiangnan might have changed hands! ”
Liu Haojia comforted Emperor Wanli and said: "It may not be necessary to change hands, but I am afraid that it is a violation of yin and yang, and there must be deception!" ”
