"What? No one borrowed money from the West Factory? And no one gave credit to the West Factory? ”

"This ...... In fact...... It's not completely nothing, it's just that the number is so small that it's negligible! ”

"That's it! They won't borrow money, they won't give credit, let them go! Since they want to die, I won't stop them! ”

In indignation, Wang Li picked up the tea bowl and fell into deep thought.

Depressed!

Crossing other people's homes, building airplanes and cannons, every second, pretending to be forced to slap the face all the way, it's not beautiful!

I changed myself, and I even tinkered with a steam engine for two or three years, and I still can't put it into practice!

I'm a scumbag, admit it!

However, it should be very simple to learn from others to open a bank, right?

Why is it so difficult to actually operate?

If you can't absorb deposits, you can't even take out loans!

I'll go, it's a loan! Can't let it go!

Usually, the loan from the merchant is not the interest of one and two cents per month?

The West Factory is only 8% per month, why is no one willing to borrow it?

Doesn't it mean that large and small workshops are about to close down because of lack of money?

Cheap loans are just around the corner, so why don't they borrow?

"Factory father, actually, they can't be blamed for this!" Song Zhe hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Mainly because, Wei Zhongxian has ruined the reputation of the "factory guard"!

Especially in Jiangnan, whether it is the officials and gentry or the ordinary people, as long as they hear the names of the East and West No. 2 Factories, they all tremble!

Even a three- or two-year-old baby, as long as she hears Wei Zhongxian's name, she can immediately stop crying! ”

"Damn! Killing people without blinking, that's Dongchang, right?

When did our West Factory arrest ordinary people? When did you kill an ordinary person?

Besides, when I suggested to the Lord of Banzai to increase the wages of the hired workers, didn't the people applaud? ”

"Factory father, it is for this reason that no one borrows from us!"

"Cut!"

Wang Li wanted to refute, but suddenly figured it out and quickly shut up!

Song Zhe's words are indeed not wrong!

Clap your hands and say that there are many people who have a good impression of the West Factory, but they are just ordinary people and hired workers!

Although this group of people is large, they have no need to borrow, let alone surplus silver to deposit!

Of course, this is only temporary!

When they have money in their hands for hired workers, their preferred deposit bank must be the West Factory!

At present, the real need to borrow is precisely the workshop owners who have been cornered by themselves, as well as large and small street merchants!

In fact, those street businesses are not their targets!

At most, it's just a temporary accidental injury!

Their own department stores, so that their business is affected, it is really only temporary!

This is a very broad question, how can I explain it?

They won't know that thousands of department stores across the country can't be run independently by the West Factory!

When their upstream "supply chain" is integrated, street merchants can become "branches" of department stores in the form of "franchise";

When the time comes, as long as they have capital needs, they will choose West Factory!

It's just that at this time, you can't let them know!

In their upstream, all kinds of workshop owners, behind them, there are nine times out of ten the shadow of the gate valve gentry!

This is the primary target of the West Factory's attack!

However, instead of killing them all, we will acquire and integrate them with the lowest investment!

Only in this way can the profits created by those workshops and merchants flow into their own pockets!

Compared with Wei Zhongxian's direct taxation, this profit is several times more, even dozens of times!

For the sake of silver, this is also a helpless way!

It really can't be helped!

The "successful experience" of Sichuan's pilot law change control will never be promoted nationwide! For the businessmen of Jiangnan, only a little "gentle" measures can be taken!

Of course, these are just the first steps!

The ultimate goal is to control the economy and finance of the entire Jiangnan and even the entire Ming Dynasty!

Banknotes, already printed!

As long as it is recognized and circulated throughout the country, countless amounts of gold and silver can quietly flow into their pockets!

The plan was good, but it met with resistance in the first step!

The most depressing thing is Wei Zhongxian!

This guy's tax rate is not high, and he didn't have the effect of diverting his attention, and he couldn't help himself block the gun!

It seems that if you want to become the biggest capitalist and control the economy and finance of the whole country, you can't do it overnight!

Needless to say, this time when I returned to Beijing, I had to quarrel with the courtiers again!

Those guys, if they don't push themselves to Liaodong to fill the pit, they will never stop!

The position of "Admiral of the West Factory", as long as they are seated, they will never stop!

However, arguing with them is a waste of time!

Too lazy to argue, can't do it!

As long as Zhu Youzhen is convinced, all problems are not a problem!

……

Grand Canal Pier, gongs and drums!

Looking at the crowd of black presses, Wang Li was so angry that he blew his beard and stared!

This battle must have been made by Wen Tiren!

On the surface, it is to fulfill the promise and welcome your own triumph!

In fact, it's the fear of "running away"!

Dog stuff!

Is it necessary to keep such an eye on me?

At this time, he was greeted by gongs and drums; The next moment, it was the thousand men in the main hall who pointed out!

Alas!

I wanted to quietly return to the Admiral's Mansion and then quietly enter the palace at night, but now it seems that there is no hope!

I'll it!

Even the Duke of England and the Duke of Chengguo were also present, and the battle was really not small!

There are four or five hundred officials in court clothes alone!

I don't know most of them!

"Governor Wang, I'm waiting for you!" Wen Tiren smiled all over his face and greeted him enthusiastically: "Governor Wang suppressed the level thieves, in addition to my number one trouble in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor is waiting for the construction of the Extreme Palace, waiting to reward you!" ”

"Governor Wang is a eunuch, but he can give the surname "Zhu", and he is crowned the king of the soil, which is simply the smoke of the ancestral tomb, which is gratifying! ”

"Governor Wang is really working hard for the sake of Daming!

In the past nine years, there has not been a moment of rest, and he is really a model for Manchu officials!

Today, the thieves have been pacified, the world is settled, and the emperor Taiji of Liaodong is not to be afraid!

Governor Wang happened to go to the feudal country and enjoy the blessings of the Qing Dynasty, who is not envious of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, ...... of them"

Wang Li squeezed out a smile, bowed again and again, and waited until the surroundings were quiet, then he smiled and said: "It is the duty of a courtier to be a courtier to pacify the country!"

But I'm just a eunuch!

Long live the reward of the "royal surname Zhu, the king of the soil", the factory does not dare to accept it, and it is really not acceptable! ”

The voice fell, and there was silence all around!

The faces of the officials are even uglier than bitter gourd!

Wang Li's meaning is obvious, he doesn't want to be the king of the land, he just wants to be a three-grade Xichang admiral!

This is exactly what the ministers are most worried about and don't want to see!

It doesn't matter, though!

He has a meritorious role in leveling the thief, and the chaos he caused is not small!

When he arrived at the main hall, one person played a copy of him, and it was enough for him to bear it!

Since you don't want to be crowned king, let's kill him!

……

In the main hall, Wang Li politely declined the reward of "the royal surname is Zhu, and the land is crowned king"!

Zhu Youzhen was about to ask "what kind of reward", but Zhang Jie, the deputy envoy of the capital, was the first to attack!

"Your Majesty, recently, Weichen received a secret letter from Lord Shi Kefa, the chief military officer, and Lord Liu Liangzuo;

They all said that when the prince was suppressing thieves in Shaanxi, he was disrespectful to the king of Qin!

Unexpectedly, he slapped King Qin in public, and he was extremely arrogant!

Wang Gonggong's move, on the surface, is a slap in the face of King Qin!

Actually, it's a slap in the face of all the royal vassal kings, a slap in the face of the Lord of Long Live Lord!

Not only that, but the prince also let the soldiers and horses withdraw from Xi'an City, causing more than 500 members of the Qin royal family to be brutally captured and killed by thieves!

Such a rebellious minister, the merit is not worth it!

If you don't punish ...... severely"

"Lord Zhang! Master Zhang! ”

Wang Li raised his voice and interrupted Zhang Jie's words strongly: "You said that the factory slapped the Long Live Lord, isn't this fabricated out of thin air?" ”

"You...... Above the great hall, how can you be clever and sophistry? ”

"Lord Zhang, you're right, the factory did slap King Qin!

However, that was a helpless move under the urgency of the military situation!

At that time, King Qin was drunk and unconscious, talking nonsense!

If it weren't for the factory to control his emotions in time, it would not be the family of King Qin who was captured and killed by the thieves, but the King of Qin himself!

Regarding this matter, King Qin wrote a letter to express his apologies and thanks to the factory! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Li took out the letter that had been prepared a long time ago and asked Fang Zhenghua to forward it to Zhu Youzhen.

This move was completely unexpected by the ministers, and they all widened their eyes!

How did it come to this?

Originally, he could use this matter to give Wang Li a blow to kill!

Who knows, with just one letter, he will turn the killing move into invisible!

This letter was indeed written by Zhu Yiluo, the king of Qin!

Originally, Wang Li didn't care about Zhu Yiluo's life or death, and even wanted to borrow the hands of thieves to get rid of him!

It was only because Hong Chengchou and several general soldiers were present that there was a taboo, and he reluctantly brought Zhu Yiluo to Wuguan!

At that time, Zhu Yiluo was furious because the Ming army gave up Xi'an!

A slap in the face, this guy will be honest in no time!

Under the coercion and intimidation of Jin Yiwei, he can only be wronged!

He knew that Wang Li was a guy who was not afraid of heaven and earth!

If you dare to complain to Zhu Youzhen, the West Factory will kill yourself sooner or later!

Therefore, he did not dare not write a letter of apology and thanks to Wang Li!

Shi Kefa, Mu Wenshou and Liu Liangzuo, it doesn't matter how they knew that Zhu Yiluo was beaten!

Anyway, with Zhu Yixi's letter, Zhu Youzhen may be angry, but he won't move himself, and he won't dare to move himself!

"Hmmm! Not bad! ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction, relieved: "King Qin's letter is already very clear on the merits!"

The factory father's quick decision not only convinced King Qin, but also made me admire it to the extreme!

No one should mention this again! ”

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Zhifa, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, stepped forward, his face full of solemnity: "In the name of the emperor, the prince actually sent a copy of the list to the prefectures and governments in the south of the Yangtze River, claiming that the imperial court is about to set a minimum salary standard for employees!"

Wang Gonggong's move not only usurped the imperial power, but also made the people in Jiangnan complain, causing countless workshops to stop work and production!

is also because of the prince's example, hundreds of people were forced to sell their sons and daughters, and they were miserable!

Your Majesty, setting a minimum salary for employees is definitely a move that will bring disaster to the country and the people, and it is absolutely impossible!

This is a book of 10,000 words from the people of Jiangnan, with more than 1,000 people's blood signatures, and please ask the emperor to take a look! ”

"Oh? It seems like a good thing to set a minimum wage, but why are the people against it? Zhu Youzhen was full of doubts and ordered someone to present a book of 10,000 words.

In the process of reading, I was puzzled and frowned.

At this moment, the courtiers were like being commanded by someone to attack Wang Liqun!

Some angrily pointed at Wang Li and blamed him;

Some faced Zhu Youzhen and talked eloquently;

Some fell to their knees and thumped their chests;

Some gathered in groups of three or five, and the crowd was angry;

On the main hall, it has become a vegetable market again!

In this scene, Zhu Youzhen was completely stunned!

A while ago, because of this incident, there were hundreds of letters of impeachment against Wang Li every day, and they couldn't be demolished!

Zhu Youzhen really doesn't understand that the policy of increasing people's income is really a good thing!

Why should all the people of the world oppose it?

If the household department and the local government were not allowed to issue a copper plate, why did the officials of the Manchu Dynasty oppose it?

During that time, just because Wang Li did not return to Beijing, Zhu Youzhen chose to turn a blind eye!

Of course, the edict was not forcibly issued either!

In fact, Zhu Youzhen didn't realize that his attitude towards Wang Li was no longer like before!

Especially before Wang Li served as the governor of the five heads, Zhu Youzhen had high hopes for him, treating him as the sharpest knife, but he was on guard and suspicious everywhere!

Now, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty are impeaching him, but Zhu Youzhen chooses to trust!

At least, wait for him to return to Beijing and wait for him to give a reasonable explanation!

"Factory Gong, the stability of the northwest is the stability of my Ming Dynasty; The prosperity of Jiangnan is the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty!

Now, in the form of a decree, the imperial court has set a minimum wage standard for employees, which should be a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, why are so many people crying blood against it? ”

"Oh? Oppose? Who's against? ”

Wang Li smiled slightly, looked around at the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and asked rhetorically: "My lords, a book of 10,000 words and the signatures of more than 1,000 people can represent the people of the whole world?" ”

The ministers were about to speak, but Wen Tiren waved his hand to stop him, and approached Wang Li, with a smile on his face, looking harmless to humans and animals:

"Oh, O princess, if this does not represent the people of the world, what else can it do?"

"Really?"

Wang Li smiled indifferently and faced Zhu Youzhen: "Long live Lord, the little slave also has a book of ten thousand words, which is much thicker than that of all the adults!"

The 10,000-word book of your lordships has only been signed by more than 1,000 people; And the little slave's book of 10,000 words has hundreds of thousands of people's handprints and signatures!

Little slave, this is going to be carried up! ”

Hearing this, the ministers were at a loss!

There are really more than a dozen brocade guards, carrying several wooden boxes to the temple!

Each wooden box is full of palm-sized pieces of paper, estimated to be hundreds of catties!

The point is that on every piece of paper, the words "set a minimum salary standard for the benefit of the country and the people" are written crookedly!

On each piece of paper, there is also the detailed address of the person who signed it!

Each one of them should not be faked!

Depressed! Speechless!

The ministers fell into the pit they had dug, and they were all speechless!

No way!

Opposition to this policy is made up of workshop owners and officials at all levels!

It is inconvenient for them to oppose in their own name, so they pretend to be the mouth of the "people" and make a grand statement!

And Wang Li also borrowed the mouth of the people and hired workers at the bottom!

This amount, as much as you want!

Mainly, too lazy to quarrel with that bunch of trolls!

This is the most convenient, the most convincing, and the most shocking!

In addition to being depressed, the ministers, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are thinking hard about how to deal with it!

Unexpectedly, Wang Li spoke again!

"In recent years, because of frequent natural disasters and rampant thieves, people's incomes have plummeted, and they have suffered unspeakably!

And the taxes of the imperial court and the local government are more and more collected every year!

The people of the world say that long live the emperor is the emperor of "heavy conquest"! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Li deliberately stopped, and especially emphasized: "Long live the lord, don't misunderstand, the "heavy levy" in the mouth of the people is the repeated "heavy", and the "levy" of taxation!" ”

When the words fell, Zhu Youzhen was slightly stunned, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared!

And the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were overjoyed!

Of course, no one dared to show joy, but the crowd was angry!

Hurry up and seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, catch Wang Li, and scold your head and face!

What a great rebellion, what a deception, what a demagoguery to the people, what is scolding!

Anyway, it's to put Wang Li to death!
