Chapter 483: Take it
Shanhaiwei is Shanhaiguan. All land supplies transported from the pass to Liaodong must pass through Shanhaiguan. Therefore, Shanhaiguan has a very special significance to these Liaodong merchants. Many people have made a fortune because of the Shanhai family. Now there are a large number of Liaodong merchants stationed in Shanhaiguan. A large number of materials are gathered here. As long as money houses are set up here, business will naturally be continuous.
On the other hand, although Shanhaiguan is only a short distance from Liaodong, it is administratively affiliated to Beizhili and is a "more rational place", not to mention that these Liaodong merchants have great access to the Shanhaiguan area. Therefore, Liu Peng's suggestion made Liaodong merchants excited, and someone immediately asked: "Where should the fourth money house be located?"
They knew that Liu Peng actually refused to compete with Beihai Money House for food in Shandong Province, but encouraged them to go out of Shandong. After all, Shandong is the private area of Beihai Money House. Linqing and Dezhou are the most abundant places like the meat in the bowl of Beihai Money House. However, now Beihai Money House focuses on operating the two palaces of Denglai, so he temporarily gave up the external expansion.
Liu Peng laughed: "I can't become a fat man in one bite. First, build the general number, and then build the two semicolons, Jinzhouwei and Shanhaiwei. I will slowly consider where the fourth semicolon is located. Now we have not even thought about the size of this money house, so we don't have to consider where the fourth money house is located for the time being!"
He continued: "After all, these are our joint-built money shops. I can't take a lot of money shops. I'll decide wherever the money shop is located. Anyway, the specific operation of the money shop will be left to you sooner or later. You can also think about where the fourth money shop is located. "
For these Liaodong merchants, the result is not bad. At least they have seen greater business opportunities. Not to mention anything else, so many prefectures in Northern Zhili can now be chosen by Liaodong merchants.
However, although some Liaodong merchants were very satisfied with Liu Peng's conditions, Qu Zengren's characteristic is that he values money more than face. He immediately said: "Mr. Liu, since you have also said that the specific operation of the money house will be handed over to us sooner or later, so this matter should not be too late. It is better to hand over the money house to us now to take charge of the overall situation. Just help take care of it!"
But Liu Peng shook his head and said, "Not now. We have invested real gold and silver in this money house. Now we are left to you for the responsibility. I am afraid that you will get him over as soon as you take over. I am not responsible for you, and I have to be responsible for the real gold and silver I invested in!"
Most Liaodong merchants agree with Liu Peng's opinion. Although they have become experts in the money shop industry in the past few months, this expert is only for ordinary laymen. After all, they are just looking at the specific operation of the money shop. When they really want to run a money shop, they are always unsure.
Therefore, they considered working with Liu Peng. After all, Liu Peng's money house has been operating for so long but has never had any major problems. Instead, it is booming. This naturally shows that the money houses in Liu Peng are very well operated. In addition, the Longkou money house now has more than ten general numbers and semi-colons. Cooperating with Longkou can use the existing network of the Longkou money house, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
However, Liaodong merchants are not ready to enjoy the cool air under the big trees. As long as the time is right, they will set up their own business and break away from the Longkou money house. Why does such a profitable business require partnership with Longkou and make the Longkou people profit from the big profit?
But all this needs to be done before it can start operations. Even the Liaodong merchants did not expect Qu Zengren to be so anxious. Before the bank opened, he had already considered the issue of officially taking over the bank. But soon he understood what Qu Zengren was planning: "Mr. Liu, since it is not appropriate to hand it over to us now, then you can tell me the time, is it one year or two years? Sooner or later, this bank will be handed over to our Liaodong Hanzi to operate. Then you can't wait until Qianer's eight hundred years. You have to give a specific time!"
Liu Peng laughed: "When is the money house on track, you can hand it over to you when it's time!"
Qu Zengren shook his head and said, "Your words are wrong. You have to set a specific time. You can't just talk to it! If you don't let go of this issue, you should also make concessions on other issues. You should know that we have made great efforts to take on the matter of Zhaoyuan County Magistrate. If you can't be Zhaoyuan County Magistrate, you will not be able to defeat the current battle in Laizhou!"
"Now, if you are in a joint position, you will win two things. If you make a little concession, just like the price of meter, we will help you take down the matter of Zhaoyuan County Magistrate."
Although the Liaodong merchants could not invite the issued edict back, they still had many ways in the capital, so they soon added fuel to the matter of Zhaoyuan County Magistrate.
But Liu Peng said calmly: "No matter whether I can become the magistrate of Zhaoyuan County, I will fight with the Heng Palace to the end!"
Qu Zengren immediately said, "But I heard that this time Gu Shanhe fought with Hengwang Mansion in Laizhou Prefecture, but Hengwang Mansion had the upper hand. This is because he failed to take over Zhaoyuan County Magistrate! Now if you say something, we will definitely help you take down Zhaoyuan County Magistrate."
Liu Peng denied Qu Zengren's statement: "That's right, it's true that Prince Heng's Mansion has had the upper hand for a while, but we didn't lose either!"
"If Longkou doesn't lose, he will be completely defeated!" Qu Zengren said with striking words: "You should know that if you don't kill the spies of Prince Heng's Mansion in Laizhou Prefecture, our two families will not be able to enter Qingzhou Prefecture. If you don't win this battle, you will be completely defeated."
"So I think the position of Zhaoyuan County Magistrate is crucial to you and us. If you make more concessions, we will also use ten times the strength in the capital to officially take over the position of Zhaoyuan County Magistrate. This will be a good thing for you, Longkou, Dengzhou and us."
Qu Zengren's words sounded very reasonable. A group of Liao merchants nodded, all thinking that Liu Peng had to make more concessions so that they could use more strength in the capital.
This matter gradually became the focus of negotiations between the two sides. Seeing that it was impossible to open up the situation, Yuwen Ba said anxiously: "Governor Liu took over as the prefect of Zhaoyuan County Magistrate, Governor Qian and Zhao Xunzhang both recommended it. This is a matter of time. Why do you have to make a fuss about this matter!"
"Although it's a matter of time sooner or later, I'm afraid that something will happen if it's delayed!" Qu Zengren said politely: "As the saying goes, there are so many dreams, the sooner you have to finalize, the better. Although Mr. Liu makes some concessions now, it's easier to get the position of Zhaoyuan County Magistrate as soon as possible, and the more you can support Laizhou Prefecture, you will naturally be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort!"
Seeing that both sides were about to argue about details again, Liu Peng suddenly said, "Thank you, Boss Qu, Boss Tong and all the bosses have good intentions. I appreciate it, but I am now the magistrate of Zhaoyuan County, so there is no need to discuss this matter!"
Liu Peng is already the magistrate of Zhaoyuan County?
The Liao Shangshe here are all considered to be of great power, especially after the last edict, they all became frightened birds. They had long been eyelining in the Beijing Province, but unexpectedly, Liu Peng silently got the big thing like Zhaoyuan County Magistrate.
You should know that this book was a member of our prefecture who served as an official, which completely violated the traditional principle of regional avoidance in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Liu Peng was from Huang County and was only a short distance from Zhaoyuan County, which was even more taboo.
Although it is not the person in this county who is the county magistrate, he will eat the resources of the county completely and cannot eat any other family, the fact that the person in this county is too sensitive and it is too easy to form a local emperor in the local area.
In another time and space, after the 1990s, especially after 200, many places believed that officials who were parachuted from other places were scraping too hard, and repeatedly required themselves to serve as county party secretary or county magistrate through different forms such as the National People's Congress and the CPPCC. With the efforts of top figures in these places, some pilot projects have been carried out in various places.
However, the result of the pilot was that all these places were complaining, especially the top figures in the local area felt that they could not survive, and they firmly required the airborne chief officials from other places to be the county party secretary and county magistrate. Because they were locals so familiar that they could not be more familiar with each other, they directly moved all the resources of the county to their homes, not even giving them some soup to others.
There is also such a situation in this time and space. When the Ming Dynasty founded, it was even emphasized that "the southerners are in charge of the north, and the northerners are in charge of the north". Although such a regional avoidance system is becoming more and more relaxed, in the impression of Liaodong grain merchants, people in the prefecture served as officials of the prefecture and were also in an important position as a county magistrate. This is the first time they have seen a living example.
Therefore, Tong Guoyong stood up: "Congratulations to Mr. Liu, congratulations to Mr. Liu, is this matter serious?"
Liu Peng immediately replied: "The cabinet has drafted a ticket, and the Sili Supervisor has approved the red. Although the six departments still have the possibility of refuting it, the disaster is like fire. The county magistrate is a sesame official. Can the six departments be criticized? Because this matter is almost certain, someone in the capital came to report the good news to me."
After Liu Peng said this, Liaodong merchants really believed that Liu Peng had a way to be tough in Beijing and had to do something that could not be done.
In the past, I heard that this young master Liu Peng and Liu were in the Sili Supervisor, the Jinyiwei and the Censorate had their own ways. After hearing this, the Liao merchants smiled casually and did not take it to their hearts at all. But now that Liu Peng is so confident, everyone understands how wild Liu Peng’s path is.
