Chapter 92 Big Move
It was late at night, and Yang Ji fell asleep in the backyard of the official office and the dormitory. Because he now serves as the chief supervisor and governor of Guangzhou, he moved to the official office to stay in the official office to facilitate his daily business.
The decoration of the dormitory is very simple. Apart from the necessities of daily life, there are not many items that show off the show. This is similar to the temporary residence of Wang Yuwen Wen of Xiyang.
However, Yuwen Wen is not an ascetic monk, so he will enjoy it, but he usually only pays attention to daily life in the mansion. Yang Ji does not emphasize enjoyment everywhere, which is related to his "life experience".
When he came to this era for no reason, Yang Ji from the late Ming Dynasty had never been able to identify with this world, so even though he wandered in the circle of power and wealthy in Chang'an under the name of "strong training", he was not short of ways to make money, but he was like a beggar.
On weekdays, I live in Buddhist temples everywhere, and like to visit everywhere. I help princes and nobles build residences in my spare time. After getting the money and food, I donate them all to poor families.
He did not agree with this world, so he always walked around the world with the mentality of a bystander, quietly watching the events recorded in historical books happen one by one, and quietly watching the joys and sorrows and separations happen again and again.
Everything in this world has nothing to do with him until he met Yu Wenwen who was "reborn", everything changed.
Yang Ji, who was lying on the couch, suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to touch the short knife under the pillow. Even while he was asleep, he heard the slight footsteps outside and immediately responded.
He pulled out the sheathed knife, quietly got out of the mosquito net, hugged his waist and came to another corner of the room, holding his breath and listening to the movements outside the room.
There are soldiers on duty in the office, and there are people on duty in the backyard. However, for Yang Ji, this is not a reason to relax his vigilance. It is said that guarding against thieves every day and night is difficult to guard against. He has a clear conscience in his actions, but it is inevitable to provoke villains. Now some people tiptoe to approach, and this behavior is too strange, so he has to be careful.
Back then, I was used to being alone, and I had to be wary of others. The sinister things in this world are not monsters but people, so he is always wary of thieves who want to seek money and kill them.
Even when sleeping, he had to prick his ears. This habit has become difficult to change. Yang Ji waited quietly for the sound of footsteps to approach the door, and slowly unsheathed the short knife in his hand.
"General manager, general manager..."
The low cry sounded, which was Yang Ji's familiar voice, which was his attendant, who was actually drawn from the army, but Yang Ji did not respond rashly, but just listened quietly.
There were footsteps again, and it seemed that a few people walked into the yard. After a moment, whispered. Yang Ji had a good hearing and heard another familiar voice from it. He put his knife in the sheath, slowly got up and walked to the edge of the couch and asked, "What's going on outside."
"Master, it's the king here."
"Please wait for a moment."
Yang Ji did hear Yuwen Wen's voice. After putting on his clothes, he opened the door. He saw Yuwen Wen, who was wearing regular clothes, looking up at the moon in the yard. When he saw him going out, Yuwen Wen smiled:
"Ah, General Manager Yang, I'm here to visit late at night and I'm disturbing you."
"King, why are you so anxious?"
"Let's talk about it after entering... Alas, let's talk to the study."
"Since the king is here, if you don't dislike me, please ask the room to discuss in detail."
Yuwen Wen came over as if nothing had happened and asked in a low voice: "Uh, I'm not going to bother you, including Xian."
Yang Ji's expression tightened when he heard this and explained in a low voice: "King! The lower official has been living here alone, and he is innocent with Niang Xian!"
"What are you clear and what are you white... OK, go in and talk!"
The servant lit the oil lamp and left. Only Yuwen Wen and Yang Ji were left in the room. Yuwen Wen roughly explained his purpose. He tossed and turned to sleep at the bedside, and he was thinking about raising funds to repair the plank road. When he was upset, he simply came to Yang Ji to discuss it.
"I have thought that no matter how the fundraising is done, it will inevitably make people criticize it, so I try to borrow money to raise funds, but this is also difficult, so I want to hear your opinions."
After the opening remark, Yuwen Wen said his original ideas, including the plan to issue bonds. Yang Ji woke up from his sleep and couldn't keep up with Yuwen Wen's ideas for a while. He went out to wash his face and took the opportunity to brew it. He already had an idea when he came back.
"King, at this turbulent time, we should indeed use the money and food on our hands to train soldiers. After all, only by gaining a foothold and having a grand plan can we have room for development. Therefore, the officials thought that if the king really wanted to build a plank road, he should indeed borrow money instead of paying his own money."
"The problem is how to borrow this money, which can not only avoid being criticized, but also avoid risks, so as to save money from being unable to turn over in the future, resulting in disgrace."
Yang Ji said slowly. In fact, he had already had his own ideas about this matter, but he felt that Yuwen Wen had always had many ideas, so it would be better to let him come up with a solution of the best of both worlds. Now that the other party is visiting late at night for help, he will be ugly.
To lay the groundwork, Yang Ji got to the topic: "Master, can you remember to open China and France?"
"Let's open the Chinese law?" Yuwen Wen was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment he showed joy: "Why didn't I expect it?"
Kaizhongfa, also known as Kaizhongfa, originated from the Song Dynasty. By the early Ming Dynasty, it was mostly implemented in border areas. The purpose of Kaizhongfa was to allow merchants to transport grain to border areas to solve the problem of military food supply for border troops. As a reward, the government distributed salt according to the weight of the grain transported by merchants.
The merchants used salt to attract salt to the salt-producing areas to buy salt and sold it on their own to make profits. The government solved the food problem of the border army, and the merchants were able to buy salt with huge profits, which was to kill two birds with one stone.
The opening of China and the law can be divided into three steps: reporting to Zhong, guarding the branch, and market. According to the requirements of the government's investment list, salt merchants transported grain to designated border areas granaries and exchanged them for salt to the government.
The guardian is the salt merchant who exchanges the salt for salt and uses the salt to the designated salt field to wait for the salt. The market is the salt merchant who transports the obtained salt to the designated area for sale.
Kaizhong France was the first to implement it in Shanxi during the Hongwu period of the early Ming Dynasty, and then quickly promoted it to the whole country. After Yongle, the content of Kaizhong gradually evolved from nano-salt in salt, banknotes in salt, to iron in salt, cotton in cloth in salt, nama in salt, and nama in salt.
Kaizhong and France used salt as an important medium for material exchange. It not only made Shanxi merchants leapt into dominance of the business world, but also promoted the development of agriculture, handicrafts and commerce, and played an important role in border grain storage, salt industry and commerce in the early Ming Dynasty.
In modern terms, this is the government conducting public bidding (a certain place requires some stones of grain), using the hot salt (hard currency) as a means of payment to attract merchants to complete the bidding project (a certain place for transporting grain).
The actual number of projects in the Zhenyangxia plank road is to supply large amounts of grain to migrant workers, as well as stone, cement, wood and iron to build the plank road. In addition to the taxes that are not enough, the Guangzhou General Administration also has a hard currency, that is, salt.
Guangzhou's salt farms have already developed salt fields on a large scale, and they need to promote the salt drying method to increase salt production. Therefore, even if the annual tax surplus of the Guangzhou General Administration is not much left, even if the tax revenue after the construction of the Zhenyangxia Plank Road is meager, as long as there is inexhaustible salt, you can have strong repayment ability.
Yuwen Wen was afraid of bad reputation for fundraising and was afraid that the issuance of bonds would attract hungry wolves. He did not expect that there was a big trick of "tendering".
