Chapter 956 Business Sutra

After hearing Wang Tong say "the opportunity to get rich", everyone here concentrates, and some smart people can even guess what Wang Tong wants to say.

"...Salt pond monopoly, this will be strictly controlled in the future. If the local salt administration is not effective, the Jinyiwei will participate..."

No one expected that what he said at the beginning was this, and then he realized that the most profitable business of all businesses in Ningxia Bian Town is salt. The salt quality of the pond is very low and the cost of mining is very low. Whether it is on the grassland or inland, it can be sold at a high price and make a fortune by land.

The reason why the Han family is so arrogant and domineering is because of the support of Chi Yan Caiyuan, and why most people in Ningxia Town are hostile, and it is precisely because he controls Yan Chi.

Now everyone can't eat it. A hero from other places swallowed it in one bite. Everyone was unwilling to do so, but they could only helpless. Wang Tong was too big for Ningxia Town. Ningxia Town was different from other border towns. He was within the Hetao area and felt the deepest influence on the naturalized city. He had a better understanding of Wang Tong than other places. The more he knew, the less he dared to act rashly.

"….You are looking at the side walls too seriously now! Do you think there is an extremely dangerous place outside the side walls?"

Wang Tong's second topic caused a stir here. From the front wall is the division between the Ming Dynasty and the grassland. There are still rules and regulations on Wang, and there is a barbaric world where the strong are invincible and lawless. Everyone's exchanges with the outside are at most a trade caravan. But now it is different. The family that controls the place is defeated. Several large tribes outside have been washed once by naturalized merchant groups. There is no danger there now.

In fact, when Altan's tribe was destroyed, there were already people in Ningxia Town building pastures and farms in Hetao, but they were all trying to do it and not put it on the surface.

"The Yellow River has many harms, and the only benefit is the only way to make money. Hetao land is the Jiangnan in the northwest and the fish and rice town in the northwest. Why don't you get it on the edge of Baoshan??"

Wang Tong asked loudly and made the people below feel a little unable to sit still, and he continued:

"If you go outside to enclose land, you can return to Ningxia Town. There are also naturalized business groups outside to help you trade materials. How difficult is it to find a piece of irrigated land in Ningxia Town? How difficult is it to produce 100 kilograms of grain per acre? How much money does it cost to make such a field? But such beautiful land is boundless in Hetao. As long as you cultivate it, there will definitely be a good harvest."

"Mr. Marquis, there is no water in Hetao!"

The crowd was so excited that he said, and some people didn't care about the distinction between high and low. Hearing this question, Wang Tong sneered and said:

"Everything is waiting for ready-made? Your Majesty sent troops to destroy Altan's army. Could it be that the land deeds will be prepared for you to deliver to you? People in Shaanxi and Shanxi built their own ditches and irrigation. It has been a year since the harvest has been completed. You have to wait, wait until people in Shanxi and Shaanxi have encircled all the land!"

The Hetao area is surrounded by the Yellow River, with a rare rich water source in the northwest, and the terrain is gentle. Building ditches and irrigation by one is not a big project.

Moreover, this person is not afraid of not having it, but he is afraid that others will have it. When Wang Tong talks about people from Shaanxi and Shanxi, everyone naturally understands it and immediately feels urgent. He says that he is "boundless" and doesn't go again, but it's really too late.

"Don't worry about the safety of the grassland. Your general has two farms on the grassland. What are you afraid of? If you really encounter risks, the naturalized business group will not sit idly by, and the Ningxia border soldiers are not vegetarians."

Everyone's eyes were focused on General Zhang Weizhong again, but there was not much kindness in their eyes. It turned out that you kid had already made a fortune outside, but everyone was foolishly guarding the husband here.

General Zhang Weizhong laughed dryly, picked up his glass and took a sip. He was a little embarrassed. Wang Tong had already promised that after the opening of the Ningxia branch of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, he would have 20% of his shares. This is a huge benefit. Wang Tong did not pursue his dereliction of duty, but instead gave some benefits. He naturally knew what he was doing.

The general of Ningxia Town is one of the biggest figures in Ningxia Town. Unexpectedly, he has already started there silently. How can everyone not be in a hurry? If they don’t go, they will be able to grab all these big names.

"I can give you a promise that no tax will be collected within three years of land reclamation, and no money will be charged."

Everyone buzzed and discussed that at this banquet, there were wealthy families who went outside to reclaim the fields, population, tools, etc., and it is conceivable that after the irrigation system is repaired, the harvest will be good and it will make money. Unlike those shops and workshops, the fields are a family property that can be passed on to these powerful people, and they are of great significance. If you save one by yourself, you will not only benefit the people in the world, but also benefit your descendants in the future.

Such a good thing was originally planned to ask Wang Tong to provide conditions, but unexpectedly, he promised not to collect any taxes for three years, which was even more a good thing, and these conditions made people unable to believe it.

However, with the two titles of Dingbei Hou and the Jinyiwei Commander, they could not help but believe it. The Governor Dang Xin and the Eunuch who were sitting aside looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

It is not a big deal to not collect taxes for three years. Compared with the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue, the plate is not big, but the significance is extremely important. Even as Wang Tong's identity, it cannot be decided. But if you look closely, the land outside the wall is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If the king's law is not enough, you can't find too many problems. Besides, everyone has gained benefits from Wang Tong's side. Turn a blind eye and close your eyes.

The expressions of the people here gradually became excited, and those who were familiar with each other began to whisper. Ningxia border town was already familiar with the outside of the border wall. After setting this policy, everyone had to discuss how to do it and how to divide it.

"But one thing is that every household must organize a training group of township soldiers, and they all bring their own supplies and soldiers. This is vague. Without this, no land reclamation and establishment of a village on the grassland!"

Wang Tong smiled and added that it is natural to organize the village heroes to train and provide their own armored soldiers, but the cost is really a lot. If the training of the village heroes cannot fight, it will be useless. If it is useful, you have to train for full-time training and raise a lot of people in vain. No one will be willing to accept this.

"There is no good thing in the world that can be used for nothing. The large thieves outside the border wall have been eliminated, but there are still many small groups of Tartar horse bandits. Do you want these small groups of thieves to let the border army clear it out, or when you find the border army, is it still too late?"

Looking for border troops to clear the border may be more troublesome than the Tartars' crossing. That is the plunder and extortion that is well-informed, and Wang Tong said again:

"If you want to reclaim land and train the team according to the rules, the official will send people who know how to train and prepare according to the rules of the Naturalized City, and sell them to weapons at a low price."

Since Wang Tong had thought about such details, the following people had to choose to go or not, so most people naturally chose to go.

After setting this tone, the atmosphere of the banquet will be much more joyful and harmonious. In the future, when we go to Hetao, we will help each other and even have to work together. At this time, we will have to agree on a rapport with each other and have a drink. We will be very lively. The northwestern man is expert in drinking, and the atmosphere during the meal becomes more and more lively.

Wang Tong and a few people drank wine, and everyone toasted Wang Tong with three rounds of wine according to etiquette. Then Wang Tong went to the back hall to rest and sat there. Liu Jilin took the list and Wang Tong spoke:

"If you attend a banquet today and are willing to go, you will make a brand and post it. Just follow the Ping An brand. If you don't attend a banquet, you will not be qualified to expand the border and reclaim the land. If you want to go, you can only follow these qualified ones today. This rule must be done well. Do you understand?"

Liu Jilin quickly agreed, admiring Wang Tong's thoughts on the whole, Hetao was vast, there were too many people who had pioneered and reclaimed, and it was too scattered, not only was it inconvenient to manage, but it was also easy to be defeated by the Tartars on the grassland, causing unnecessary losses. Select a powerful man of sufficient amount to participate, and then those small and scattered past depend on it, which would form a larger settlement and manor outside, and also have enough strength to resist accidents.

"Dutang, my subordinates are prone to not collecting taxes for three years. Please be cautious. You must report to Your Majesty, otherwise there will be trouble!"

Liu Jilin reminded him, Wang Tongjia looked at Liu Jilin and said:

"You have to do a lot in Ningxia in the future. It is not a bad thing to think so carefully. Just listen to this matter alone. If you go to the side wall to open up and reclaim their materials, supplies and even weapons must be purchased with the naturalized merchant group. The food they harvest must also be given priority to purchase the food they harvest. You must know that the naturalized merchant group pays taxes to the court."

After saying this, Liu Jilin suddenly realized that the naturalized merchant group had actually collected taxes for the court, and it also made these people feel graceful.

"The capital's magic tricks are so good, I respect you!"

"I can't say that I have made some clever tricks. After doing business for several years, I still understand the business story, that's all!"

Wang Tong replied with a smile, and Liu Jilin also smiled and clasped his fists to salute. Wang Tong picked up the tea bowl and drank it, and reminded him again:

"A team of naturalized merchants will come in half a month. After transporting the goods, they will be responsible for escorting the servants back to Guihua City. Before that, you should gather the servants you don't want as soon as possible and don't let them escape. If you have more power in your hands, you will have greater responsibility. You should pay more attention to things inside and outside the city. If you have any things you can't make up your mind, you can discuss with the shopkeeper of the local Sanjiang Trading Company. He can help and provide material assistance."

"Yes! Please rest assured. My subordinates must ask for instructions in everything. What is important is that the government decides."
