Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 666 Three Merchants and Three Landlords

Now that the Ming Dynasty has opened up the sea to foreign trade, Hangzhou can benefit from the sea trade, and it will become more and more prosperous, and merchants will become more popular, so many merchants gather in Hangzhou.

Fuguilou is not even ranked among the top ten restaurants in Hangzhou, but it is quite famous, especially for its large number of private rooms.

Everyone in Hangzhou knows that businessmen like to come here for business talks.

Its decoration is low-key and luxurious, and the dishes and drinks are quite affordable, which is in line with the taste of most businessmen.

On this day, the waiters in the Fugui Building discovered that almost all the people in the box were talking about one thing, that is, the implementation of the New Deal in Zhejiang.

In a certain box, businessman Wu Huitong sighed: "After waiting for three years, the imperial court is finally going to implement the New Deal in our great Zhejiang. It is not easy."

"Isn't that so?" Zhao Qianjing replied quite appreciatively, "I think back then, when I went to Yingtian Mansion to do business, I suddenly found that my previous experience was useless, and I couldn't even figure out the way to do business if I wanted to send money.

At that time, I was cursing in my heart: the imperial court's bullshit new policy, splitting a good government into so many functions, how can people happily pay for things?
But later I found out that when I had the patience to learn the rules and regulations of the New Deal and follow the rules, I did not spend a penny, and I managed to do things that used to cost hundreds of taels of silver! "

"I also have this experience." Shen Jinyuan, another businessman in the box, followed up, "I think back then, when I heard that glass mirrors were produced in Nanjing, I finally found a middleman and invited a small official from the Nanjing Glass Mirror Factory to dinner. I want to ask him to help clear up the relationship so that I can get the goods.

Unexpectedly, even though the little official came to eat, he refused to accept the gift, so he just asked me to go directly to the factory to get the goods according to the rules.

At that time, I thought to myself, the glass mirrors produced in Nanjing are so in short supply now, if I don’t clear up the relationship, how can I get the goods if I go in directly?

Seeing him leave in a hurry, I thought in my heart that this matter was yellow.Just in case, I went to the factory to try it out.

As a result, the process was followed according to the rules. Although it took a lot of time, and after waiting for more than half a month in Nanjing, I actually got the goods.

During the whole process, apart from treating the clerk to a meal, I really didn't spend any more money in the factory. Afterwards, I still felt like I was dreaming. "

Wu Huitong said with a smile: "It's okay for those factories in Nanjing to follow the rules, the key is that under the new policy, the government not only does not charge money, but also handles things much more quickly than before.

In the past, if you asked for half a license, a certificate, or a card for all kinds of food, it would take you a long time.

Now go and follow the rules, the officials of those new positions will handle it for you in a while, if you delay the time, people will still be angry.

In the past two years, I have dealt with the government in Nanzhili a lot. Every time I come back to deal with our government in Zhejiang, I am really not used to it.

Now I am looking forward to the implementation of the New Deal in Zhejiang as soon as possible, so that we can also enjoy all the conveniences of doing business under the New Deal in Zhejiang. "

Zhao Qianjing ate his food and said: "As far as I know, the implementation of the New Deal in Zhejiang will not only benefit from the convenience of doing business.

Do you know the patent law promulgated by the imperial court in the second year of Zhaowu?Only when we in Zhejiang implement the New Deal, can our businessmen in Zhejiang obtain the authorization of certain civil technology patents and open factories. "

Without any special explanation, all three of them knew that the factory was not a workshop.

The workshop is the old workshop with dozens of people, at most hundreds or thousands of people. Even if there are many people, the production efficiency is actually low.

But factories are different. Even if they are not qualified to use steam engines, they can still use hydraulic machinery and assembly lines.You can also visit and learn from the factory in Nanjing, and even get technical guidance.

Therefore, in today's Ming people's vocabulary, factories represent faster and even higher-quality production capabilities, while workshops represent old, low production efficiency, and can't make a lot of money.

"For example, technology patents that the imperial court is willing to license to the people, such as papermaking, pencil making, and carriage parts, must be undertaken by businessmen in places where the New Deal has been implemented."

Zhao Qianjing changed his words, "I heard that some families have a lot of land, and they try to move in every possible way, preparing to prevent the New Deal from being implemented in Zhejiang.

These people's vision is too small, their eyelids are too shallow, they only know how to make money by staring at the land and farmers.

They didn't realize at all that after the implementation of the New Deal, they could earn much more money from just doing business than they could harvest from the fields. "

Wu Huitong said with a smile: "There are not many such people, and there are quite a few enlightened gentry and landlords in Zhejiang.

Since last year, has the price of land in our Zhejiang been falling all the time?This is because many people saw that the New Deal would be implemented in Zhejiang and sold their land ahead of time.

If it weren't for some problems with the source of the land, no one would dare to buy it, and the price of the land in Zhejiang is even lower now. "

Zhao Jinyuan said: "In fact, our Zhao family also has some problems, but now the family has seen it and is ready to deal with it.

The big deal is that part of the land is confiscated, and then some branches are split off and moved to the north to settle down.

Anyway, it would definitely not be against the imperial court - with today's means, the imperial court's control over the local area, anyone who wants to do that will definitely be kicked in the head by a donkey. "

Zhao Gan Jingshen nodded approvingly, "That's right. If you fight against the imperial court, you will probably fail, and you may be exiled to the frontier to suffer and suffer, which will affect the progress of future generations.

Seriously, they may even be ransacked and beheaded.It's not worth taking such a big risk for those fields.

Just like Angkor said before, broaden your horizons, take a long-term view, and take out the gold and silver in the cellar to set up factories and businesses, isn't it more profitable than planing food in the soil? "

"···"

Because the implementation of the new policy is a great thing for local businessmen, the three of them were very happy. After eating and drinking, they inevitably talked a little too much and their voices were a little loud.

Little did they know, sitting next to them were three well-known landowners in Hangzhou Mansion, Qian Wei, Ding Lanyao, and Zhou Gongpu.

At this time, the three of them either looked gloomy, or frowned in thought, or looked sad, but did not say a word.

It wasn't until the three businessmen next door left that the three began to talk.

Zhou Gongpu said with a gloomy expression, "Brother Qian, can the implementation of the New Deal really be unstoppable?"

Qian Wei was the one with a sad face, he heard the words and sighed: "Oh, brother Zhou is not ignorant, we have used all the connections we can use, and we are not reluctant to spend money on the places that should be dredged.

But now those officials seem to have become more relaxed, and almost no one dares to accept our gifts.

Even though there were people who received gifts and promised to help inquire about news and activities, there was no movement afterward. "

Hearing this, Zhou Gongpu said in a huff: "You and I don't know the virtues of some of them, you and I don't know?

Now they are clearly afraid of the Imperial Envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Jin Yiwei, otherwise they will charge money ruthlessly.

Ding Lanyao, why don't you speak?Judging by your appearance, aren't you ready to accept your fate like this? "

"What can you do if you don't accept your fate?" Ding Lanyao replied, "Could it be possible that you can still raise troops against the court?"

Zhou Gongpu immediately withered.

If the imperial court dared to introduce new policies when Chongzhen was more than ten years old, Zhou Gongpu might have dared to rebel in his anger.Not to mention his family has 10,000+ mu of land, there are thousands of tenants and more than a thousand mechanics.

Take out the money and encourage it, and you can pull up a team of 2000 people with a single call.

Now, let alone whether he can pull up the team according to the above operations, even if he pulls up, he can be wiped out without the court sending out elite border guards and imperial guards.

In the past two years, the garrison reorganized from Zhejiang has suppressed bandits everywhere, but they have often shown off in Hangzhou.The strength of the Zhejiang garrison is strong, and they all know it well.

At this time Ding Lanyao said again: "In fact, I think what the three people said just now has some truth - since the implementation of the New Deal is inevitable, we can only try our best to reduce losses.

Give up the previous practice of making money from the fields and start factories and businesses, maybe you can really earn more. "

Zhou Gongpu sneered after hearing this, and said: "Your family's land is only tens of thousands of acres, and there are not many problems, of course you dare to say that.

If my Zhou family accepts their fate, most of their lives will be lost.Among other things, without the bondage and control of the field, those disobedient tenants will definitely sue me to death! "

　First more.

　　Today is the new year, I wish everyone a happy family reunion and happiness!
　　(In addition, today I am going back to my hometown in the countryside to worship my ancestors, and I will worry about updating tonight...don't wait)
