Chapter 896
Shanxi is close to the outside of the customs, and it has been a relatively developed area of ​​commerce in China since the past dynasties. Shanxi merchants are also one of the most powerful business gangs.

After the Wei army entered the east of the river, it cleaned up the Shanxi merchants and enriched the treasury of the Wei state. After that, the Wei army occupied Xuanda, marched into Zhangjiakou, and seized a large amount of money, food and materials.

However, Fan Yongdou and others were well-informed. At the beginning of the Battle of Hedong, he began to transfer his family business to Zhangjiakou, and waited and watched the situation here.

When Dorgon's army broke through the Yanmen Pass and headed towards Xinkou, several families couldn't hold back and immediately organized a return mission to follow the Qing army back to Hedong. Transfer of property outside the customs.

During the Xinkou battle, the Qing army was defeated. The Qing army in Xuanfu didn't know the news, so a fast horse reported to Zhangjiakou.

Compared with Fan Yongdou, those who did not hold their breath were much more miserable. Wei Jun suddenly killed them in Zhangjiakou. In the hands of Wei Jun.

Gao Yihuan did not hand them over to the Sanju Judiciary for trial, but ordered Xuan Yiwei to bypass the national judicial agencies, torture them directly, conduct interrogation, and spend some private money.

In the west, the king's treasury is the national treasury, which has not been separated for a long time. In China, the treasury and the internal treasury have been separated since the Qin Dynasty.

Although from a certain point of view, all the money in the world belongs to the emperor, but in a practical sense, the money in the national treasury does not belong to the emperor, and the money in the inner treasury is at the emperor's disposal.

Of course, the emperor also has the right to mobilize money from the treasury, but the courtiers will see whether the emperor's transfer is reasonable. , it may not be successful, you need to argue with the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and sometimes you will be scolded bloody.

Therefore, in order to reward relatives and favorite ministers conveniently, the emperor usually used money from the internal treasury to repair the palace and add a few pieces of jewelry to the concubine to avoid wrangling and scolding.

Gao Yihuan also has this need, but he wants to make money, not all because of this, but because he is really short of money.

Gao Yihuan has many actions that the cabinet and ministers don't understand, such as investing a large amount of money into the craftsman's academy, and spending money to hire some Xiyi craftsmen who are useless in the eyes of the ministers to make clocks and other things , and translated books.

The cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs were reluctant to give the money, and Gao Yihuan couldn't explain it to them.

Chinese culture mainly teaches people how to be human, and rarely explores the essence of things. There are indeed shortcomings in the production of equipment.

Gao Yihuan asked Xiyi to make clocks and watches, not because he really needed them, but to lay a foundation for the miniaturization and precision of various instruments after a few years. Come on, why spend so much money to support a group of people?Don't you want to learn from the apocalypse and lose your mind by playing with things?
In addition, the translation of Xiyi's books and the craftsmen's research on some strange things are beyond the understanding of the ministers.

The Chinese pay attention to being free from debt and living lightly, and they don’t have the habit of living without money. The treasury still owes a lot of debts, and the officials of the household department can’t wait to spend half of a penny. You are still here to deal with these useless things, aren’t you looking for scolding?

As the civil servant group became stronger day by day, someone had already written a letter scolding him. For convenience, Gao Yihuan decided to allocate funds from the internal treasury.

Your Majesty spends his own money, so you guys have no objections this time.But in fact, some officials still said that he was not doing his job properly. Gao Yihuan felt uncomfortable, so he ordered Li Yan to deal with those unreasonable people, and sent them to be officials in the local area. Don't stare at him for nothing, but Li Yan He didn't carry out King Gao's order, but believed that the speaker was not at fault, and the speaker was here to point out the problem. The king didn't solve the problem, but wanted to solve the person who raised the problem. It was not the Holy Lord's doing.

Li Yan is also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. No matter what era, the person in charge of personnel affairs is the most powerful. If you say promotion, you will be promoted, and if you are told to leave, you will have to leave.Li Yan disapproved. Although Gao Yihuan could bypass the cabinet and issue the decree directly, but at this time he didn't want to turn against Li Yan over this matter, so he just asked Xuan Yiwei to see if the officials had any black material, and temporarily held back. down.

It seemed that Gao Dawang was small-minded and not kind enough to do it directly, so he decided to settle the score after the fall.

At this time, with the improvement of the Wei State system, after the evolution from a group of local bandits into a country, many loopholes have been filled, and the source of money in Gao Yihuan's internal treasury is mostly handed over to the vassal government. The fixed appropriation for him, as well as the income from several manors, could not meet his expenses at all.

For this reason, Gao Yihuan was in urgent need of money. Wang Dengku and Jin Liangyu, who were full of imperial merchants in the Qing Dynasty, were tortured to death by Xuanyiwei.

Of course, what Shanxi merchants left him was not just money, but also the channels they used to make money.

Gao Yihuan sold all the fur workshops and shops left by Shanxi merchants to Ma Hongshan at a lower price by asking Gao Yicheng, the servant of the household department. Business, realizing the transfer of benefits.

Gao Yihuan came to Taiyuan from Wangjing, mainly for the purpose of commanding nearby and preventing the expansion of the battle in western Liaoning, so that he could quickly deploy troops from the east of the river to attack Dorgon.

In addition, Gao Yihuan has another purpose, that is, before the end of the year, he wants to take a look at his property, so he asked Ma Hongshan for money.

At this time, in a handicraft workshop by the Fenshui River, Ma Hongshan accompanied Gao Yihuan to visit the whole process of fur processing, including cleaning, production, and then feeding in the vat, staying for several days to mature the fur and other processes.

In the workshop, hundreds of hired workers were busy, and Ma Hongshan accompanied them while explaining, "My lord, these hired workers are all former hired workers. They were recalled by Xiaomin to carry out production, and their wages are still paid according to the original wages."

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, and Ma Hongshan said again: "After these furs are brought back from the customs, they are first dried in the shade and then scraped. When scraping the oil, you need to use a blunt knife or a thin wooden board, and you need to wash it with nitrate~"

Gao Yihuan nodded half-understood along the way, asked a few random questions, and watched the production of the hired workers with his hands behind his back. Ma Hongshan kept explaining, but Gao Dawang didn't listen to anything.

At this time, seeing that Ma Hongshan had finished turning around, Ma Hongshan hadn't indicated that he had to go back. Gao Yihuan, who was walking with his hands behind his back, couldn't bear it anymore. He finally stopped, and suddenly looked at Ma Hongshan and reminded: "Then what?" , Ma Yuanwai, the Chinese New Year will be in two months, and the dividends for this year should be in place!"
