Including Zhang Yuan, all the wealthy businessmen in the county town had a surprisingly consistent attitude towards Han Zhen.

Don't provoke, don't offend, and certainly don't get too close.

As long as you don't take my life and take away my family wealth, you Han Zhen can toss as much as you like.

The shops are still open, and the taxes are paid.

Don't you want to keep it a secret?

Yes!

We will never reveal any news about the county, and the caravans that go out to do business will check the letters that should be checked, and the deposit that should be paid will not be less than a cent.

With this attitude, no matter whether Han Zhen seized the world in the future, or the Great Song Dynasty suppressed the rebels and recovered the county, they would not lose the slightest.

If you can keep your family business in this world and succeed in becoming a wealthy businessman, no one is a fool.

Therefore, after hearing Zhu Ji's words, Zhang Yuanwai refused as soon as possible.

After Zhang Yuanwai expressed his position, Fei Jicai and others also spoke.

These people refused to return, but they gave a lot of face.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

Zhu Ji is a businessman himself, so he naturally knows what they think.

I saw that his face was as usual, playing with the delicate wine glass in his hand, and chuckled: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, the county magistrate has been in the city for a while, and you have seen everything you have done in your eyes and know it in your hearts." There is no shortage of money, the county magistrate is not short for the time being, and he just got 30 million yuan a while ago. ”

"So, it's not that I'm greedy for your money, but that there really is a gift of wealth and wealth."

A while ago, Han Zhen brought back hundreds of truckloads of gold, silver and jewelry, and they either heard about it or saw it with their own eyes.

Hearing Zhu Ji say this at this moment, he suddenly felt reasonable.

Thinking of this, Fei Jicai glanced at Zhang Yuanwai and the others, and immediately asked, "I don't know what Brother Yuanchen is talking about?" ”

"Now Zhang Wanxian has been exterminated, Shouguang and Changle counties are all under the command of the county magistrate, and six officials were selected for the lock hall test two days ago, and Shouguang and Changle will be busy in the near future."

Zhu Ji paused slightly, and continued: "Zhang Wanxian is a reckless man, and after attacking Shouguang and Changle, he slaughtered all the big and wealthy merchants in the county. Now these two counties can be described as a hundred wastes waiting to be revived! ”

Everyone is a smart person, so there is no need to crumple the words and break them into details.

And the eyes of everyone at the wine table lit up at this moment.

Shouguang and Changle are waiting to be revived, this time is the best time to seize the market, and there is no one.

At the same time, they also understood Han Zhen's intentions.

This is to use them to make the business of Shouguang and Changle County run again.

Businessmen pursue profits, only care about profits, have a weak sense of family and country, and can even collaborate with the enemy for money.

But a region, a country, without business, is not good.

As the saying goes, there is no stability without farming, no work without wealth, and no business without life.

From small counties to large countries, economic prosperity is inseparable from businessmen.

For one thing, one should look at it with a dialectical attitude.

Zhao Song has some bad things, but it is undeniable that there are also things that are good and worth learning from Han Zhen.

Otherwise, if it was really useless, the Northern Song Dynasty would not have lasted for more than 100 years, and after being destroyed by the Jin people, the Southern Song Dynasty continued for more than 100 years.

During the Song Dynasty, the status of merchants was significantly improved, and at the same time, the fang market system was eliminated, and the street market became the mainstream of the city, which created the prosperity of commerce in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In addition, the preferential treatment of scholars led to the emergence of a large number of scholars, which added fuel to the prosperity of commerce.

You must know that the account office and paperwork need to be literate and hyphenation to serve.

At the same time, the strong cultural atmosphere has also given birth to a major explosion of science and technology, and a large number of folk scientists are active on the historical stage and have made great contributions to the development of science and technology.

Astronomy, water conservancy, shipbuilding, agricultural tools, firearms, printing, hydraulic forging...... and so on.

It is precisely because of the above that the two Song Dynasty were able to stand up for so long under the toss of a group of wonderful emperors and countless ministers, and even consumed the Liao State and the Jin State.

Just by cultivating wasteland and farming, it will take more than ten or twenty years for Shouguang and Changle counties to recover.

But after the injection into business, this time will be greatly reduced.

Zhang Yuanwai and the others were silent, waiting for Zhu Ji's next words.

This alone is not rich.

Even if Zhu Ji doesn't say it, with their keen business sense and information channels, they can also seize the opportunity.

Sure enough, I saw Zhu Ji continue: "The first batch of merchants who opened workshops or shops will have their business tax halved within three years. In addition, the county magistrate plans to rectify the Guangling salt business, and will sell the regional dealer qualifications of refined salt and coarse salt! ”

Hiss!

As soon as the words fell, a burst of inhalation immediately sounded in the private room.

The halving of the commercial tax in three years is not very attractive to them, and what really frightens them is the qualification of dealers who sell refined salt and coarse salt.

Although it is the first time I have heard these three words, according to the literal meaning, I can barely understand them.

Refined salt appeared on the market in the county town two or three months ago.

As merchants, they have long wanted to intervene in the sale of refined salt.

It's just that this business is backed by Changzhi County first, and then there are endorsements from Zhao Zhizhou and Liu Mi, giving them ten guts, and they don't dare to stretch out their hands, so they can only look at it and drool.

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived!

Fei Jicai forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, "Brother Yuanchen, I don't know what the dealers in this area mean?" ”

Zhu Ji explained: "The so-called regional distributor refers to the exclusive seller in a certain region. For example, if Brother Fei wins the dealer qualification of Jingdong West Road, then only Brother Fei can sell the refined salt along the way. If someone crosses the line, they will be disqualified as a distributor and will never get a grain of refined salt again. ”

"In this way, you can maximize your profits and avoid malicious competition. Making money, harmony and wealth are the most important, do you think this is the reason? ”

Han Zhen never thought that he would sell refined salt to the entire Great Song Dynasty, or even the Western Xia Liao Kingdom.

It's not necessary, it's time-consuming and laborious, and you have to worry about corruption by the people below.

It's better to sell the agency, which is not only worry-free, but also makes two money.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Yuanwai, who had politely refused before, preemptively said: "Brother Yuanchen Gaoyi, this kindness, I must remember it!" ”

This kind of business, hesitating for a second longer, is disrespectful to Tao Zhugong.

Fei Jicai also hurriedly said: "I admire County Magistrate Han the most, and now Shouguang and Changle are waiting to be revived, and I should make a contribution." A few days later, I opened a car shop in two counties. ”

Seeing this, other wealthy businessmen at the wine table also opened their mouths, saying that they would open branches in Shouguang County.

"Huh!"

Zhu Ji smiled and arched his hand: "In this way, the county magistrate of Yuanchen is here to thank you." ”

"Brother Yuanchen is polite, it's all as it should be."

Zhang Yuanwai waved his hand nonchalantly, and then asked, "I don't know when this selling party will start?" ”

Zhu Ji replied: "Brothers, don't worry, it will take some time to sell." At that time, the government will send people to notify anyone who gets the tax reduction documents issued by the county governments of Shouguang and Changle counties. ”

Zhang Yuanwai nodded, and said secretly in his heart: This Han Zhen is really the master who doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.

However, I have to say that Han Zhen's methods are really clever, and they are willing to enter the game.

Next, the atmosphere of the wine party became even more enthusiastic.

A wine feast that lasts until sunset.

After sending these wealthy merchants to the ox cart one by one, Zhu Ji rubbed his face, cheered up, and walked to the mansion.

After the soap clerk's briefing, he made his way to the lobby.

"I've seen the county magistrate!"

Zhu Ji gave up.

Seeing that his face was slightly red and his eyes were drunk, Han Zhen ordered: "Move a chair and make a pot of tea for Zhu Yuanwai!" ”

Zhu Ji was moved in his heart, and arched his hand: "Thank you county magistrate!" ”

Soon, the soapman brought a chair and respectfully served a cup of hot tea.

Zhu Ji is also not polite, he is drinking vigorously at this time, his brain is dizzy, and he needs to eat a cup of tea to relieve hangover.

Han Zhen was not in a hurry, and waited until a cup of tea was finished before asking, "How is it?" ”

"The county magistrate, those wealthy merchants in the city have promised to open branches in Shouguang and Changle."

Zhu Ji replied, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Han Zhen's method is simply killing three birds with one stone.

Not only did the refined salt sell, but also sold an extra dealer's money, and easily solved the business problems of Shouguang County.

Hearing this, Han Zhen said with a satisfied face: "It's hard work. ”

Zhu Ji quipped: "I work very hard, I eat and drink with these rich businessmen every day, and I am very chic." ”

Han Zhen said meaningfully: "Sometimes, eating wine is also a sin. ”

This can be regarded as saying that Zhu Ji's heart is on the road.

During this period of time, I drank and feasted almost every day, and I don't know how many times I drank and vomited.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Ji frowned slightly and said: "County magistrate, the businessman is mercenary, and he informed these rich businessmen of the sale so early, I can't say that they will secretly communicate with each other, and deliberately lower the price of regional dealers and refined salt at that time. ”

"It doesn't matter."

Han Zhen waved his hand and sneered: "It is better to count on the unity of businessmen than to count on the sow to go up the tree!" ”

The word solidarity has never been associated with businessmen.

As long as there are enough interests, not to mention teammates, even the country will be betrayed.

Besides, Han Zhen is not without a backhand, so he will divide and arrange a few more childcares.

After chatting about the matter, Han Zhen asked, "How is Xiao Xiang doing recently?" ”

Since transferring Zhu Ji to the county seat, the previous channels have been taken care of by Gu Xiang alone.

"Xiao Xiang was born to eat this bowl of rice, and now he is like a fish in water, and he wrote a few days ago, saying that he had negotiated a business with a wealthy businessman in the south, and there will be one more food channel in the future."

Speaking of Gu Xiang, Zhu Ji was relieved and emotional.

Although he has only been with him for a short month or two, he learns things very quickly, and he understands everything in terms of human sophistication.

"That's good."

Han Zhen smiled slightly.

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Ji got up and said goodbye.

As soon as he walked with his front foot, He Jun and the six walked into the lobby with his back foot.

Seeing them, Han Zhen asked, "Is the excerpt written?" ”

"Please take a look at the county magistrate!"

He Jun said, respectfully presenting a fold.

Taking the fold, Han Zhen looked at it carefully.

Looking at it, he couldn't help but show satisfaction.

In the end, he was born as a minister, and his understanding of the people is very clear and thorough.

For example, in the step of recruiting fugitives from the mountains, it seems that he learned the lesson of Changzhi County, and did not choose to send officials to lobby in the mountains, but lured them with profits, and let the people in the countryside lobby with rewards and food.

At the same time, regarding the resettlement of fugitive households, he also learned from his practice in Xiaowang Village.

In addition, the goals for land and tax revenue are not too ambitious, and there are detailed plans for each step.

Although some places are still too idealistic, they are not hidden in the end, and on the whole it is a qualified development plan.

Closing the plan, Han Zhen said: "The plan is still complete, and in the future, I will use these two folds as the benchmark for your assessment and rating." ”

Hearing this, He Jun and the six couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

For this plan, the six of them racked their brains and did not hesitate to consult a number of officials in the government.

Han Zhen waved his hand: "Go back and prepare to prepare, and take office with me in two days!" ”

"Retire!"

Several people bowed and turned and walked out of the lobby.

……

Riding on the war horse, Han Zhen thought about it and beat the horse towards Majiaxing.

When I came to Ma's house, it was getting late.

A servant hangs a lit lantern under the eaves.

Seeing Han Zhen, the servant hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the county magistrate!" ”

"Hmm."

Han Zhen nodded slightly, turned over and dismounted, and handed the reins to the servant.

His identity is there, he is both the county magistrate and the husband of the little lady in the house, so the housekeeper did not report it.

Stepping through the door, Han Zhen walked straight along the corridor hall to the main hall.

At this moment, Ma Yanmin's family was having dinner, and when they saw Han Zhen, everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks together, got up and saluted.

Han Zhen chuckled and said, "Uninvited, bothered!" ”

"It's all a family, where is it."

Ma Yanmin asked with a smile: "Has the county magistrate ever eaten?" ”

"No!"

Han Zhen was not hypocritical, and shook his head.

Hearing this, Ma Yanmin hurriedly ordered the maid to put on a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and then invited Han Zhen to sit down on the main seat.

There were not many people at the dinner table, except for Ma Yundi and his wife Li, there were only two children.

Looking around, Han Zhen asked, "Why don't you see Youyou?" ”

"Her mother is happy and quiet, so this girl eats with her mother in the courtyard on weekdays."

Ma Yanmin explained, and then instructed the maid to invite Ma Shuyao.

Seeing this, Han Zhen waved his hand and said, "Since I'm eating, don't bother, I'll go to the backyard to find her later." ”

"Good!"

Ma Yanmin smiled and nodded.

Han Zhen loves Ma Shuyao, and he is naturally happy.

It seems that Han Zhen's arrival made the Li family and the two children a little uncomfortable, and after hurriedly eating, they got up and left, leaving the table for the three of them.

Raising his wine glass, Han Zhen asked, "Can the location of the concert be decided?" ”

Ma Yundi immediately put down his chopsticks, and said, "The county magistrate, the lower official ......"

Before the words fell, Han Zhen interrupted: "Don't be like this at home, the family chats casually." ”

Ma Yundi glanced at his father, and saw that his father nodded slightly, so he replied in a normal tone: "I have discussed with my staff, and I plan to build the Jinjuyuan in Dongcheng, which is relatively secluded, and will not disturb the people when printing the palace at night. ”

Han Zhen agreed: "Well, Dongcheng is really good. ”
