Chapter 151: The Last Tip

"Ye Gongzi is really a celestial!" Mu Million was drunk after listening to Master Jin's relay. Many of the problems that have plagued his chest for many years seem to have been swept away.

With Mu Million's acumen, of course, he can find that this is actually a real subversion, and it is also the dawn of luxury businessmen that he has been looking forward to in the past few years.

The north-south long canal from Dinghu Province to Jingchu Province is indeed a big project, but Mu Million's vision extends from this project and sees a longer future.

If there is a road, there is a right, and this is not a question of a small toll, but a question of the businessman having the right to collect tolls! Mu Wanwan looked at Master Jin and Master Pan with disdain, and he had a sense of superiority in intelligence.

These scholars are high in the sky, and they always recite the words of the sages, but where do they understand the practice and the hearts of the people? They just want to keep their official positions, as long as they can calm down the affairs of the displaced people in the province, they don't care about the rest, and they can be called rats' eyes.

This is like piercing the last layer of window paper, so that the most disadvantaged businessman among the four people of Shinong and Industry suddenly has the opportunity to find his own power through the extension of the road.

This is an epoch-making concept like the concept of ground rent in the article on rent release. The original rich thirteen articles, only two articles, let Mu Million see a glorious future.

There are eleven more articles, what can they bring to this world? Thinking of this, Mu Million felt his heart pounding, and he made a decision without hesitation.

He took care of it and said: "My lord, I don't need to say more, this time I am willing to do my best to calculate the project and cost, and I have the help of the account office in my firm." As for the outside businessmen, I will contact the adults myself! I don't have to worry about them anymore. ”

Even Master Jin was surprised that Mu Million had such a high level of enthusiasm. In fact, he calculated it himself, and felt that businessmen could indeed make money, but after all, it was protracted, so businessmen may not be willing to do this kind of business. Only a wealthy businessman like Mu Million doesn't care at all.

But Master Jin didn't expect that Mu Million would be so active, which also made Master Pan overjoyed, and sure enough, he still relied on Ye Xingyuan's clever plan!

Meanwhile. Ye Xingyuan and Tang Shiyan rode their horses and galloped in the mountain road, and suddenly felt something in their hearts and reined in the horses. I only felt that the cosmic blade sword spirit in the sea of consciousness was vibrating, as if it had received some blessing, and the golden light flickered. Spiritual power poured out from the sword body, feeding back to Ye Xingyuan himself.

"What's wrong?" Tang Shiyan looked at Ye Xingyuan's confused face and asked with concern.

Ye Xingyuan shook his head and looked in the direction of the provincial capital, if the time was not miscalculated, the news of his pacification of the displaced people should have arrived in the provincial capital at this time. It is time for Lord Pan to start the first step of the plan and open the first bag.

Unexpectedly, the Mandate of Heaven was triggered again, and Mu Million must have been ready to devote himself to it, which made the wind and clouds change, and even the sword spirit was sensitized.

"The wind rises at the end of the green pings. The waves became a slight wave, and I suddenly felt that my little butterfly had wings, as if it was about to cause a big storm" Ye Xingyuan sighed, he didn't expect the consequences of opening Pandora's box, but there was no choice.

To a certain extent, this is also the trend of the times, businessmen have money, they will naturally pursue status and power, but under the strict rules of the saints, they have almost no chance of getting ahead.

And this time the toll is set. It was Ye Xingyuan who opened a small skylight for them, which was equivalent to pointing out a road. As for the businessmen represented by Mu Million, how far they can go, it is really not something that Ye Xingyuan can predict.

Tang Shiyan seems to understand whether he understands or not. But he could also feel that something was great, looking at Ye Xingyuan's back, he felt a sense of alpine admiration in his chest for some reason, as if he had seen Master Meng for the first time when he was a child.

On the second day, the political envoy Yamen officially issued a document announcing it to the world. Explain the cash-for-work and construction of the north-south long canal, as well as supporting roads.

The money and grain needed are collected from large households in the province. In return, for the next 10 years, investing businessmen will be able to set up checkpoints every 100 miles on the road and collect tolls. The standard of cost is calculated by the person and the goods at the same time, and the merchant and the political envoy are calculated and determined every year.

This method is novel, and for a while it caused a lot of discussion among the people in Jiangzhou City, and some pedantic scholars felt that this was contrary to the teachings of the saints who were in the world for the public, and they were very dissatisfied.

Some people say, "What kind of system does this method become? The government envoy Yamen is poor and crazy, but they don't know that the whole world is not the king's land?

Later, the yamen hurriedly issued a supplementary announcement, saying that those with meritorious names could be exempted from this toll, and the goods they carried with them could also be appropriately exempted from fees.

This is a compromise between Mu Million and Lord Pan, according to Lord Pan's meaning, it should have been free for all readers, and those with merit should bring people and goods together, and they should not be accepted.

If this method is followed, the caravan in the past will definitely find a show to surrender, what money can he receive at the checkpoint on the way?

Now because of the tax exemption of Xiucai, the wind of donation in the township is extremely heavy, and the grain tax is not easy to collect, and the government is unable to support it, he is a mercenary businessman, where is he willing to open this opening.

Master Pan and Master Jin said that if Li Chen didn't give some preferential treatment to the scholars, even a provincial feudal lord would not have the ability to force this new policy down, so he reluctantly agreed to the current condition.

With this supplementary announcement, the indignant scholars relented a little and tended to argue the matter theoretically. Of course, Mu Million spent some money to recruit some sailors to speak for this new policy, and for a while there were endless debates in the province.

Most of the opinions believe that this is a good thing to save the displaced people by work, and the construction of the north-south long canal and post road is also the expectation of all dynasties, but the opening of this toll is a bit difficult to say after all.

In the end, it was Master Jin who went into battle shirtless, personally explained bitterly, and barely suppressed the public opinion in the province with the words of "power" and "change" in the sage's speech, and finally pushed the project to the substantive stage.

In the past few days, Master Pan has also been anxious, and he has been overwhelmed by all kinds of endless problems and details, if it weren't for Ye Xingyuan's second "preferential treatment for readers", I am afraid that public opinion alone will not be able to calm down.

Now that it has come to the last step, that is, the day of taking the money from the merchant, this is the last step that Lord Pan is most worried about and most looking forward to.

For him, as long as he got money and food from the merchants, he could leave it alone. As long as he can solve the problem of the displaced people, he can already be regarded as keeping the black yarn on the top, as for the matter of the north and south long canals behind, it is purely icing on the cake, whether it can be implemented or not, it depends on the ability of the group of businessmen led by Mu Million.

So today, Master Pan is the most nervous day, and he is holding Ye Xingyuan's third bag in his hand, but he is still worried. Ye Xingyuan proposed a strategy to appease the homeless, and the two tips left behind were just right, which was simply a clever calculation in the eyes of Master Pan, which unconsciously became dependent.

Of course, he believed that the third trick would definitely work, but he was afraid that there would be some accidents at the scene where the merchants were gathered, so there would be no fourth trick to save his life, so what should he do then?

Master Jin shook his fan and smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, calculate the time, Ye Gongzi should return to Jiangzhou today." If there is any accident, Ye Gongzi can save the scene in time. ”

Master Pan was overjoyed when he heard this, and his worries were reduced a few points, and after opening the bag, there was another piece of paper with the word "bidding" written on it.

What is this, Master Pan and Master Jin looked at each other, both puzzled, only Mu Million saw it from a distance, patted his legs and laughed: "Ye Gongzi is really smart! I am an old businessman, and I only want to attract people in with friendship, but I never thought that the benefits of this right of way should not be operated like this at all!"

He shook his head regretfully, and said angrily: "Why didn't you open this bag earlier, if I thought of Ye Gongzi's idea earlier, why should I pull down this old face and find someone, I owe a lot of favors in vain!"

In the final analysis, he still has little experience in this kind of big project of collusion between officials and businessmen, so he can't find his own position.

However, as soon as Ye Xingyuan's word "bidding" came out, he immediately realized the profound meaning of it! This is the government's project, this is the future right of way, for businessmen with vision, it should be a rush to do things, why bother to lower his profile?

On the contrary, he should be more arrogant, and only secretly let out some wind, so that people can take the initiative to beg for themselves, which is serious!

Master Pan and Master Jin were not familiar with business, so they were not ashamed to ask and asked Mu Million for advice. Mu Million used his own understanding to explain the mystery to the two.

The law of bidding is nothing more than the establishment of an access mechanism. It's not a solicitation of donations, it's not asking merchants for money, it's about giving you businessmen a chance, and if you don't make conditions, you won't have the opportunity to participate!

From the very beginning, this major event of the North-South Long Canal should be operated like this! Mu Million said while admiring, Ye Xingyuan had thought about these details clearly from the beginning, it was really a genius from heaven!

Mu Million explained clearly, and Master Pan was also amazed, so he was determined and walked to the front hall with his head held high. (To be continued.) )
