0845 Official and private joint operation

When Shen Zhezi returned to Liangjun City, it was already completely dark, but many Huainan ministers were still waiting at the Duke's Mansion.

After entering the room and changing his clothes, Shen Zhezi moved out to meet everyone. At this moment, most of the people in the table were government officials in Huainan. As for the military generals who followed the capital earlier, they had already returned to Shouchun first and rectified the army and marched towards southern Henan.

Shen Zhezi had already crossed the river from Du in early May, but did not continue to go north, but stayed in Liang County. Of course, looking at the disputes in the capital nearby is one aspect, and he is also waiting for the latest news from Jingzhou. In addition, the government structure of Liang County and other places needs to be adjusted to cope with the next variables.

Although Liang County was established for two years, its management model has been extensive and simple and has not been on track. On the one hand, it is naturally because of the war that makes people unable to calm down and manage the local area seriously. On the other hand, the foundation of Liang County is too weak, and now it has finally reached some scale.

In the future, Liang County will inevitably be a key point for Taicheng to intervene in Huainan affairs. Shen Zhezi also intends to build this area into a buffer zone, so while King Wuling has not yet entered the county, he will carry out some institutional reforms and accumulate relevant experience. He will transfer Huainan government officials here to grow together.

After all, he did not believe that if he could govern the local area by reading the scriptures, he valued more technical administrative officials. As for the education of moral governance, he would form a propaganda team independent of the administrative system and have no interference with each other.

Although the position and vision of the center and Fangzhen are different, if they implement control in the local area, the competition is nothing more than money, food, and land.

While Shen Zhezi was inspecting local garrisons, the officials of Huainan were not idle, and conducted a relatively thorough statistics and bookmarks on the various resources of Liang County. Today, Liang County has nominal jurisdiction over five county seats, but this is just a literal number. In fact, the effective ruling area of ​​Liang County is still limited to the two counties including Quanjiao and Fuling, where Liang County is located. As for other places, it is not impossible to manage, but it is too desolate and has not been built yet.

After Shen Zhezi sat down, Ji You handed over the statistical book he had compiled recently. The formats of this book were all used in the form used by Shen Jiajiajia Business in his early years. First, it was Shen Zhezi's reading habits. He implemented this way of recording wherever he was working. Second, whether it was registered or reviewed, the form book was clear and clear, and it was not easy to apply.

Money and grain show that Liang County's income and expenditure have already shown a surplus. Although the amount is not large, this is undoubtedly an amazing achievement. You should know that Liang County has only been more than two years since its establishment. From a ruined land, it has to build large-scale construction, recruit and resettle refugees, and cultivate land and prepare for war. It has actually achieved a surplus in such a short time. Even if Ji You and others personally calculated such a result, it seems like they were dreaming that they couldn't believe it.

Liang County has a variety of income, the largest of which is the land rent. Previously, Shen Zhezi has been promoting the development of handicraft workshops, especially around Tushui and near the river ferry. The land is either directly enclosed or replaced with the village sect, and all of these lands are collected for centralized development.

In the ancient environment, the main reason for restricting the development of trade was logistics costs, followed by commodity output. The two officials of Liang County, whether they were Shen Zhezi or Yu Tiao, had a deep understanding of this. Liang County is located near Jiangdong, and there are waterways directly connected to the waterways, so it is naturally the most suitable place of origin for many commodities.

Because of such superior geographical conditions, coupled with the appeal and influence of the Shen family in the Jiangdong Economic Circle, a large number of merchants will naturally influx in. The logistics costs saved by the goods are several times or even dozens of times the value of the goods themselves.

Of course, the most important thing is the improvement of the production environment. After the Huai Shang victory, Liang County completely disappeared from military disasters. Therefore, before and after the Huainan victory, the rent of these workshops in Liang County soared by dozens of times. Of course, Liang County has a lot of wasteland, and it would be simple to find a private land acquisition and production.

However, the water and land channels for exchanges between Liang County and Jiangdong are almost all within the control of the Huainan Governor's Office. If they cannot be produced and transported, they cannot be cashed out and profitable. Even if they can be transported on a small scale across the river, they still have to face market supervision. Whether it is Dingcang, the capital or the business alliance of Jingfu, they have certain control over the source of goods. It is extremely difficult for commodities of unknown origin to reach and enter the market.

This is the monitoring of the entire line from production to sales. Even if all of them can be removed, the cost required is far exceeding the cost of the regular path.

Therefore, no matter how noble the economic organization is, once it is built, no matter how noble it is, it has only one core purpose, that is, bullying and dominating the market. This principle is the same in ancient and modern times. Even some trade union organizations in later generations whose names are democratic welfare are the essence of this: controlling productivity and controlling the source of votes. As long as you have resources, you have the right to speak, and you can realize it as a benefit. Even some pure welfare institutions need to compete for the benefit groups and compete for the right to raise funds.

The power of the trade system that Shen Zhezi worked hard to build has gradually been revealed, and it is not reflected through political rights. Of course, the premise and guarantee of its existence is the power and army owned by the Shen family. Otherwise, it would not have developed to such a large scale, and I have no idea how many times it has been slaughtered.

With the scale of Liangjun commodity production base, there has been a relatively stable process for merchants to enter. First, if you want to be qualified, you must be a member of the Shang League or Yin Jue. The Shang League is a connection channel, and as for Yin Jue, you must pay the reserve. Secondly, if you want to produce normally, you must rent half of the Huainan Governor's Office.

Shen Zhezi also knew that these merchants dared to leave their hometowns to operate their industries, so naturally they could not be ordinary families. There would inevitably be a large number of residents in the family. He did not expect that all of these people would use Huainan citizens, and half of them were also an acceptable proportion to both parties. Moreover, if merchants were willing to convert the residents into residents, they would also have many benefits and commendations, such as reducing land rent or providing goods transportation services, which would be considered as buying people with money.

Such a model is very attractive to some merchants who want to try the waters. They don’t even need to prepare anything. They just need to bring enough money to produce, craftsmen, venues, materials, transportation and even sales channels in Liangjun. Moreover, with the operation and development of Huainan and the most important opening of the border trade market, Huainan will be a larger market than Jiangdong in the future.

Liang County's fiscal revenue is not only this, because there are few private canals, private warehouses, warehouses, etc. in the area, and they are all owned by the county government and the governor's office. As long as there is a product output, whether it is stored in a warehouse or floating on water, there will be a continuous stream of profit output.

Although the income is not expensive, the expenses are also large. The largest military expenditure will not be mentioned for the time being. The various infrastructure construction in the territory, especially the maintenance and repair of waterways, is a bottomless pit that cannot be invested intermittently.

Water conservancy has been a big problem that cannot be overly paid attention to since ancient times. Many prosperous unified dynasties have suffered in this regard. The reason why Huainan can maintain its operations today is that only the Huainan army makes profits, so the costs can be effectively controlled.

It can also be seen from the financial situation of Liang County that income mainly comes from the influx of foreign capital. This is also one of the reasons why Shen Zhezi was eager to bring Dingcang to Jiangbei. Many more profound government orders are inconvenient to do with the position of the Huainan Governor's Office, but with the help of Dingcang, there is no such problem. Dingcang is a foundation of private capital, but the official operation has its own constraints on each other. It is a very suitable bond underwriting institution that can greatly enhance the scale and efficiency of private capital fundraising.

Moreover, once Dingcang is able to cross the river, Shen Zhezi can incorporate many economic resources controlled by the Liang County Government into Dingcang, weakening the county government's intervention in the market. At that time, no matter who serves as the prefect of Liang County, he will enjoy peace and prosperity. Even if someone wants to use the old methods of Jiangdong to occupy the land and the people, if he wants to make a real profit, he will still be subject to many restrictions.

The future Liang County will be the buffer zone between Huainan and Jiangdong courts, so Shen Zhezi is committed to building it into a special zone jointly run by officials and the people. As for the town of Huainan and Henan, which are further north, he will no longer share the benefits with the people, but will completely occupy the leading military base. So in this regard, Liang County is also a sweet trap. Once people are attracted to this, they will continue to go north, and they will not be able to come or go, and they will deeply feel the iron-blooded style in troubled times.

Shen Zhezi discussed a lot with his subordinates about the current situation in Huainan, mainly focusing on the institutionalization of management. Without stinging Taichung, some commercial and civil affairs regulations were promulgated and established in the form of military orders of the Huainan Governor's Office. After this, whoever wants to violate the ban in the future will really try Shen Zhezi's fu Ling sword or it may be unfavorable!

Shen Zhezi now has talents in the creation of laws and regulations, that is, Li Chong, Jiangxia, who has been with him this time. Li Chong, a person with the world, is an unyielding criminal name. As for the current words of criminal name, it does not refer to people who believe in the principles of the Legalists, but refers to following rules and rules in everything, not following human nature, and less than adaptability, so it is a derogatory term.
