Chapter three hundred and forty-two money can make ghosts run the mill

Weihui Mansion is now in a blowout period.

But this is not a merit for Guo Dan alone, because the commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty itself had a certain scale. Although it was only limited to Jiangnan and the capital, the problem is that the Ming Dynasty was vast, even if it was just Jiangnan, it would be amazing, at least much larger than the small island in the West.

Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not have capital soil.

It all shows that capital has sprouted, but it still sprouts until it develops to death, and there is no progress at all. One of the main reasons is the system, because of the strength of the official position, the capital forces cannot rise up.

The emergence of Wei Hui Mansion undoubtedly broke the official position in part. After all, there was not even an official position. Of course, from the overall perspective, it was still the official position, after all, the emperor was directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor.

But this is the demand of the merchants in the world, but they did not realize that they had such a demand before. Once this thing appears, a large amount of capital will inevitably pour in.

This is essentially the relationship between demand and supply.

Business is a relationship between the two, that is, the capital soil is radiation and must be closely connected with the outside world. If there is no connection, it will be completely finished.

The economic development has been promoted during the influx of capital.

Among them, the ones that benefit the most is Daming Mansion, which is because Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhangde Prefecture, and Huaiqing Prefecture all chose to close the roads, so merchants from Jiangnan, Jiaodong, Jingji, etc. could only choose to go from Daming Mansion.

The fastest economic development of Daming Prefecture is Huaxian, because this is the only way to enter Weihui Prefecture.

The hotels here are hard to come by now!

Originally, Li Tong wanted to build it himself, but Zheng Jin and the others refused. They wanted to do it themselves, but they did not expect that it would come so quickly, so they directly converted some of their properties into hotels for past merchants to live in.

"The master is really foresighted! If we had sold the hotel and tea shop here to Li Tong, we would have suffered a lot of losses!"

A idle man flattered Zheng Jin with a flattering look on his face.

"How can he hide his little thoughts from me?"

Zheng Jin couldn't help but smile proudly at the crowded market.

This time he made a lot of money. He and the landlords of Hua County monopolized tea shops and hotels. It happened that the autumn harvest was again, and the harvest in Daming Mansion was not bad, so they joined forces to sell all the stored grains in the warehouse to Weihui Mansion to free up space to release new grains.

At the same time, there are also supply of vegetables, fruits, silk and wood.

In just half a month, the income from pure silver has exceeded his previous two years of income, because it is difficult to see some silver for ten days and half a month, and the rented money is also grain, silk, and copper coins.

These days he really woke up laughing when he was sleeping.

Zheng Jin suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how about that piece of land in Xiahe Village?"

The idle man said depressedly: "I'm still talking."

"Why did they talk for so long that the land cannot grow food? Are they buried with it?" Zheng Jin said angrily.

The idle man said embarrassedly: "Master, Xiahe Village is next to Weihui Mansion, which is the only way to enter Weihui Mansion. Those gentry are not stupid. They said they want to build their own hotel."

"This is really outrageous."

Zheng Jin cursed angrily and said, "You go and talk to them again, and you must take down that piece of land for me."

After tasting the sweetness, these stingy landlords also began to buy land everywhere, but this time they have not merged the land. Not only that, they are very protective of arable land because Weihui Mansion has too much demand, and arable land is a stable transaction. They are now annexing the land on the roadside.

But no one else is fool. People in Hua County know everything that happened in Weihui Mansion, and all villages are holding the ground tightly.

Some plan to develop themselves, while others plan to rent them to Weihui Mansion.

You big landlords still want to buy it at a low price, so go dreaming.

This even led to the population of Hua County starting to return, which is rare recently. Because the employment opportunities in Hua County have begun to rise sharply, everyone wants to make money at their doorstep, so they go to Weihui Mansion without even a household registration.

At this time, a yamen came over, "Officer Zheng, our county magistrate, please come over."

Zheng Jin was stunned and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"The villain doesn't know either."

When Zheng Jin came to the county government office, he found that all the landlords in Hua County had arrived, and he could guess something in his heart.

"Zheng Jin has met the magistrate."

"Officer Zheng is here, please sit down, please sit down."

Zhao Dewang, the magistrate of Hua County, reached out to signal that he also met these big landlords in casual clothes today.

After Zheng Jin sat down, Zhao Dewang coughed lightly, "I invite you all to come today, mainly because our Hua County was recently made in chaos by the group of merchants in Weihui Mansion, which has endangered the public security of our Hua County. If it continues for a long time, it is not a solution!"

"Smoky?"

Zheng Jin said in surprise: "Mr. Magistrate, why haven't I seen this? I think our Hua County has been very popular recently."

A big landlord named Jiang next to him also said, "Brother Zheng said that, I don't think there is any chaos."

The other big landlords also nodded.

What a mess, there is wealth everywhere, and the atmosphere is quite good.

Zhao Dewang glanced at them, his face gradually became darker, and said, "Don't pretend I don't know. You have had a close contact with the merchants of Weihui Mansion recently. You are so confused. How can these merchants trust them? The benefits they give you will definitely be taken back ten times or even a hundred times. Don't be fooled by them."

Zheng Jin smiled and said, "The magistrate is a bit of a big deal. The businessmen are really untrustworthy, and we don't believe them either. Hua County is not Weihui Mansion. Here, they have to listen to us. We just built a few barren land to build a warehouse for them. It doesn't matter."

Another big landlord said, "Mr. Magistrate, this neighbor must not be able to die of old age and never interact with each other."

Zhao Dewang frowned and said, "I said you are really confused or fake. Don't you know the situation of Weihui Mansion? Now there are a group of businessmen in charge. Do you hope that our Huaxian will become like this? Look at Zhangde and Kaifeng, the whole country is working together to stop Weihui Mansion, but you are indulging them. Are you not afraid of being scolded?"

Zheng Jin said: "Kaifeng, Zhangde stopped the merchants from Weihui Mansion from entering and leaving. That was because many tenants from their place ran to Weihui Mansion, but now many people who sneaked to Weihui Mansion in Huaxian are back again. We cannot stop the villagers from coming back!"

"Mr. The magistrate, this person has more taxes. If you can't pay the tax, it will be difficult for the magistrate to live!"

"Actually, we all know that the treasury in Hua County has never been full, and the magistrate is under a lot of pressure. Let's do this. This year we will pay more taxes to help the magistrate share some of the burden."

......

Zhao Dewang blinked.

Did you hear that right?

These iron roosters actually demanded tax payments.

this.......

He is also a political achievement for the sake of an official. He cannot pay taxes, but he has no political achievement. If these big landlords can pay more taxes, it would be a timely help for him.

Zheng Jin smiled and said, "The magistrate does not need to worry, and we are not fools. How can we let those businessmen control Huaxian? As long as we control the land and people in our hands, and the magistrate makes the decision for us, what are you afraid of?"

"It's right, when Lu Wang Mansion was built, our Hua County suffered a lot of losses. It has not been restored so far. If the tax is not paid, the minister in the court will probably put the blame on the magistrate again, saying that you are incompetent, and this should be compensated. Now that the compensation is here, we cannot turn it out."

These landlords are fence-bearing plants, and the wind blows both sides. How can you not make money without making money? Besides, this is money and hard currency!

Zhao Dewang heard it, and it was very reasonable. It was obvious that the above was making a fool of himself. If something went wrong, I would take the blame. At that time, the officials of Weihui Mansion were so unfair and tried their best to do their best to serve the court, but even the black hat was lost. If they were willing to pay taxes, they could still talk.

......

Daming Mansion.

"I wonder what advice would you give to Parliament Wang Tong come to my Daming Mansion?"

Cheng Guishi said to a tall and thin middle-aged man beside him.

The middle-aged man was named Wang Xun, who was the magistrate of Zhangde Mansion, also known as the second-in-command.

"I dare not, I dare not."

Wang Xun waved his hand and said, "I took the liberty to disturb you today, mainly for the Wei Hui Mansion."

After hearing this, Cheng Guishi immediately said excitedly, "I am so angry when I mention this!"

Wang Xun was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "What do you mean by Master Cheng?"

Cheng Guishi snorted, "Prime Minister Wang Tong didn't know anything. Since Guo Dan's Yaman came to Weihui Mansion, my Daming Mansion has been tormented by him. There was an armed fight between Xiahe Village in Hua County and Hemen Village in Ji County. I never thought that the boy tried to push the blame over us and even wanted us to pay for the wall to build. This is really outrageous. Before he came, there was no problem at all."

Wang Xun immediately said: "Who said it was not right? Our people in Zhangde Mansion were also very angry. The people in Tangyin were so angry that they all blocked the road."

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Cheng Guishi and said, "But the people of your Daming Mansion seem to welcome the merchants of Weihui Mansion."

"I'm just wondering about this, too."

Cheng Guishi sighed bitterly: "I was like you, and let the local people take care of it themselves. The landlords in Hua County also went to close the road, and even the river was closed. But for some reason, they stopped sealing it again, which really made me very angry. But if I ordered the road to close, it would be unruly. If Guo Dan sued His Majesty, I would not be able to bear the responsibility!"

Wang Xun frowned and said, "Of course I know that it is difficult for the prefect Cheng to be, but we must not let Wei Hui Mansion do whatever he wants. Why don't the prefecture Cheng think about it? This official from this prefecture will be dismissed if he says he is dismissed. How terrible is this!"

Cheng Guishi said: "Prime Minister Wang Tong, don't worry, my Daming Mansion is definitely with your Zhangde Mansion. I have sent someone to Hua County to find out the situation. At that time, I will definitely find a way to stop this situation from spreading."

Wang Xun bowed and said, "Then I will have a chance to prefect Cheng."

"I dare not, I dare not." Cheng Guishi waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Even if Wang Tong didn't come here, I would do this. I am an official, how could I join the businessman?"

Wang Xun smiled and said, "Without the words of Prison Cheng, I will feel relieved."

After seeing off Wang Xun, the housekeeper next to the prefect Cheng said, "Master, it seems that they are really anxious. Just a few days later, Punishment Wang Tong rushed over in person."

Cheng Guishi sighed, "If it were me, I would be more anxious than them." He pondered for a while and said, "You go to Zhao Tongzhang's house and ask him to send someone to inspect the county. On the grounds of preventing land annexation, outsiders are strictly prohibited from coming to my Daming Mansion to purchase land."

The housekeeper said, "But master, our Daming Mansion is now very beneficial. If it is really sealed, it may cause public grievances."

Cheng Guishi said with a tweet, "You are confused, you can rent it if you don't sell it. Now I have to do something, otherwise they will point their finger at me. In addition, I don't want Weihui Mansion to own too much land in my Daming Mansion."

The butler suddenly realized and said excitedly: "The master is wise."

However, Wang Xun's steps were too slow. When he arrived at Daming Mansion, Li Tong had already left Daming Mansion and was now in Linqing.

Linqing is not only Li Tong's hometown, but also a key place for the canal to be transferred, and it is a must-pass place for the canal transportation. Many canal transportation officials are here. At this moment, Li Tong has reached a transportation agreement with the local canal transportation officials.

Because the water transport in the Ming Dynasty had been completely militarized, the people no longer participated in the water transport, and the people only paid taxes. Since it was a system scheduling, not market demand, then waste would inevitably occur. Many schedulings were empty ships, and there was an order above, who dared to wait until there was a cargo before leaving the ship.

Li Tong hopes to cooperate with the canal transport to make up for these empty ships, which will not increase any burden on the canal transport. If you have empty ships, you will transport our cargo. The transportation costs are all given at the market price, which is very reasonable.
