The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 147
When he arrived in Jiaxing, Runtu took drastic measures.

The top leader is the same as the way he did it in Jiashan.

Jiashan has been in operation for a year now and is on the right track.

Jiaxing followed the path of Jiashan, just follow it.

It is estimated that many local wealthy households will object to doing things.

There is very little support.

At that time, we will have to use some means again.

Knowing that the teacher is famous, he immediately asked the ghost Lao Qi to arrange to investigate those wealthy households, and it was fine if he caught the handle.

Those who can make a fortune are rarely clean.

It is not very scientific to want to make a lot of money without breaking the rules.

Just like Jiashan, as long as the people of Jiashan support it.

Merchants don't care about him.

The key is to make good friends with some power officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Officials from some surrounding counties have deposited silver in Runtu's bank.

The Rural Commercial Bank has been in operation for several years now, and it is doing very well.

There are many civil servants and military generals who come to save money.

A lot of it was stolen money, but Runtu took it all.

The interest rate of Runtu is higher than that of the bank.

As for other banks, it is good that they do not charge customers' insurance premiums.

Therefore, many people come to save money.

There are also many borrowers.

Especially Jiashan.

Jiashan is now a county with a population of 30.

Next to Shanghai Beach, many people from other places will come to Jiashan.

There are even businesses dedicated to saving money.

People in Jiashan have borrowed money to do business.

The tax situation in Jiashan is very high now.

There is no agricultural tax.Currently tax-free.

The business tax is still there, it is very fair, and it won't cause trouble at will.

Jiashan's arsenal can currently produce two to three thousand guns a year.

This number is almost meaningless.

It would have been enough.

But now that the territory has become larger, I feel that it is still a little bit worse.

The land is still a problem. If the land is solved, the people here will probably support him.

With popular support, it will be much more convenient to do other things.

Jiashan is not good, Jiaxing is a big city.

You can't mess around at will.

If it was in Jiashan, Runtu would have called all the wealthy households in the city over.

When I got here, I thought about changing the way a little bit.

He personally visited each family.

All those members went to their homes.

Start with people you know.

My own business includes medicinal materials, tea, and raw silk.Go to visit such bosses first, many of them are known, after all, they are colleagues.

Went to a silk shop.

The scale is relatively large.

There are a lot of clothes in it.Shoes, cloth.

"Treasurer Wang."

Runtu's raw silk was sold to him.

"Master Zhang. No, Mr. Zhang. I really didn't expect Mr. Zhang to become the parent officer of our mansion. Come, drink tea."

Since ancient times, people did not fight with officials, so he appeared relatively humble.

There are also officials in the family, but they are donated officials, the kind without power. Although the official rank is only slightly lower than Runtu, the power is one by one.

"Business manager Wang is doing well."

"It's not going well recently. The heavy rain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has affected all walks of life."

He is a capable man with two sons, one donated an official, and the other was sent overseas to drink foreign ink.For people in this day and age, being able to send their own son overseas is quite courageous and farsighted.

"I wonder if shopkeeper Wang has been to Jiashan?"

"Never been."

"Then shopkeeper Wang can go and have a look."

"For Jiaxing, I have some measures to implement, and I will ask for the support of shopkeeper Wang."

"Whatever Master Fuzun said, I will definitely cooperate with all my strength."

Jiashan belongs to Jiaxing.

He had heard about the fact that Runtu killed a man in Jiashan, Gungun.

I didn't expect to come to my side.

Despite this, he heard some rumors that the business environment in Jiashan is very good, even better than that in Shanghai, especially in terms of taxation.

"Thank you, then I'll go first."

"Your Excellency stay for a light meal."

"No, I still have something to do."

Gotta go say hello to the others.

"Master, he is the Lord Fu Zun, and he looks so young."

"This person is not simple. I have long heard that Jiashan has changed a lot. When this person was in Jiashan, he killed bandits, gangs, and a group of merchants. He is really a ruthless character. There is nothing to do. Dare to provoke him."

Runtu's confidence lies in his three thousand soldiers.

They are all three thousand soldiers and horses with combat effectiveness.

Well equipped.

It was completely different from the green camp soldiers at this time.

The green battalion soldiers are paid a lot.

Smoke a lot.

There are even some big smokes grown in this prefecture.

There are more species in the northwest.

Now the economic center of gravity has begun to shift south.

The conditions in Jiangnan are slightly better.

There are also fewer kinds of opium.

Runtu is going to make a trip to destroy all the smoke seedlings.

This side is a little better, and the row in the southwest is also much better.

When the local power holders searched for the people's aliment and the people's anointment was not enough to meet their needs, they began to focus on the lucrative tobacco business.

All regions are forced to grow opium, and even places that fail to meet or exceed the standards are punished or rewarded respectively.

The geographical conditions in the southwest are better.

The smoke produced is of good quality.

Relying on the smoky soil brought huge benefits.

In this day and age, planting is everywhere, and it has long been regarded as a common thing.

Even the salaries of those troops depended on the tax revenue from the local cultivation of tobacco soil.

Taxes are too heavy.

Lack of money everywhere.

Especially the Queen Mother owed so much money to the foreign devils and kept paying it back.

According to data records, there are more than 1000 million people who smoke opium.

Basically, one out of thirty Chinese smokes opium.

Such a large proportion, Jiashan has it, and Jiaxing naturally has it.

People's spirits are ruined, and those green battalion soldiers are basically powerless.

Do things for yourself, the first thing is not to smoke.

Farmers waste their labor, soldiers lose their fighting spirit, students ruin their future, and women sell their bodies.

The profits are huge.

Many master craftsmen who make smoke and clay are a profession.

The burning technique of identifying the origin and grade of opium tobacco, boiling the floating tobacco of cooked opium opium, and making the smoke paste into smokeable bubbles.

There is such a master in Jiaxing.

There is a lot to pay attention to when tasting soil.

There is a silver drill handed down by a teacher, who can tell exactly where the soil is grown, what grade it is, and what kind of technology it uses just by gently scratching the black opium and sniffing it. The smoke bubbles produced by firing are the most refreshing.

What are the Northwest famous water slurry, the Southwest extreme cloud soil, the Northeast treasure "Old Beikou", the North China specialty Mongolian soil, and the North Sichuan characteristic yellow arsenic.No matter how the tobacco and soil dealers brag, as long as the master makes a move, the good and the bad will be distinguished.His family's tobacco shop can buy good products at cheap prices again and again, and make huge profits.

When solidified into a paste, it is necessary to float the smoke.

The first-class cooking also requires designated utensils such as copper pots, Nanzhi, Jingtan, etc., which is quite particular.
