Chapter 68: How about I confiscate Yongan Mansion? (Please subscribe!!)
"many!"
"Of course that's a lot!"
Zhao Si nodded, "Now everyone has made money and life is better. You don't know, right? A few days ago, some people who were out and turned into bandits have quietly come back to surrender. Who would go in days like this?" Become a bandit!"
"Now everyone hopes that the prefect can continue to work in Yong'an Mansion, and our lives will become more and more promising!"
"Many people have set up immortality tablets for the prefect at home and pray every day for the prefect to live a long life!"
"All the young girls want to work as slaves in the government offices. If they can be favored by the prefect, it will be the smoke rising from their ancestral graves, which will bring glory to their ancestors!"
"My ancestors actually migrated from the neighboring province. Now I have written letters to my relatives there, asking them to come and settle down. Life will be better in the future."
Zhao Si was very drunk in the end, and Mao Xiang had people carry him back.
After Zhao Si left, Mao Xiang was not in the mood to drink or eat anymore, and sat alone on a chair and meditated.
After a while.
Xiaohu walked in.
"Boss."
"Ah."
"Xiaohu, please sort out all the information we collected during this period. It's time to report the situation here to His Majesty."
"Yes."
The capital, the imperial palace.
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Zhu Yuanzhang is reviewing the memorial.
Wang Zhong carefully held a memorial and came to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Put it aside. Don't you see that I am very busy?"
Wang Zhong said softly: "Your Majesty, this is a memorial from Commander Mao."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang froze immediately, then put down the brush in his hand and the memorial he was reviewing, took the memorial from Wang Zhong, but stopped before opening the memorial, and handed the memorial to Wang Zhong again, "This time You should first read what the memorial says."
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry with Ouyang Lun that he was really worried that Ouyang Lun would do something shocking again.
"Yes."
Wang Zhong honestly opened the memorial and read it, with a smile gradually appearing on his face.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the memorial to Commander Mao Du said that Yong'an Mansion is developing very well now, the people are rich, and this year is a good harvest year."
"Yeah." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "If nothing else, Ouyang Lun still has a few skills in business."
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang visited Yong'an Mansion a few months ago, and the construction site experience was still fresh in his memory. If the people in Yong'an Mansion could have the income of construction site workers, there would be no problem in living a good year. This is why Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised at all. .
Wang Zhong continued: "Mao's commander also said that if the current momentum continues, it is estimated that in a few years, Yong'an Prefecture will become the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty, and even become the economic center of the north, not far behind Beiping Prefecture. That kind of thing.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily, "If this is the case, the situation in the north will get better and better, and the situation of the rich in the south and the poor in the north of the Ming Dynasty will be much better."
"By the way, didn't I say that during the New Year, except for the necessary people, everyone else in Jinyiwei can return to the capital to celebrate the New Year? Why did Mao Xiang only write a memorial, but no one came back?"
Wang Zhong continued: "Your Majesty, Commander Maodu stated the reasons in this memorial. Firstly, the grilled fish shop is very busy during the Chinese New Year, and there are many customers every day. Secondly, they are preparing to open a branch and go public next year. , so I won’t return to the capital this year.”
"By the way, Commander Mao also requested in the memorial that the Jin Yiwei stationed in Yong'an Mansion can take their relatives to Yong'an Mansion, and the unmarried Jin Yiwei can marry local women, so that they can better protect themselves. It will help you avoid being dumped in one pot like last time.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately figured out what was wrong.
Not wanting to return to the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to take his relatives in the capital to Yong'an Mansion. It was not that Zhu Yuanzhang did not distrust Jin Yiwei's loyal ministers, and he felt that Mao Xiang and other Jin Yiwei were yearning for life in Yong'an the capital and Yong'an Mansion, one is the capital of the empire, the economic and political center of the world, and the other is a remote place. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a place of exile. Even a fool knows that it is better, but Mao Xiang and the others chose the latter. .
"Quick, look what else Mao Xiang said in the memorial!"
"He also said." Wang Zhong quickly searched the memorial, "Your Majesty, Commander Mao also said that the people of Yong'an Prefecture now have surplus food and savings, ranging from twenty or thirty to hundreds!"
"Twenty cents?"
"It's anywhere from 30 taels to over a hundred taels of silver!" After saying that, Wang Zhong was also shocked. "With a deposit of 30 taels of silver, the average family in the capital only has so much money."
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked!
He had thought that the people of Yong'an Mansion would have some spare money, but he never thought there would be so much! Is it because of "relief for work"? its not right! If you work for relief, you can only earn one or two taels a month. If you don't need food or drink, you only get 30 to [-] taels a year. How do you get hundreds of taels?
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly grabbed the memorial from Wang Zhong, read it carefully and word for word, and finally found the answer!
"Exchange!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was no stranger to this exchange. He had been in contact with the exchange when he first went to Kaiping County, and he also knew that the people there had the habit of buying stocks.
Suddenly!
At that time, he only thought that this "exchange" was a tool for Ouyang Lun to make money, and he did not pay much attention to it later.
Only now do I understand the power of this "exchange"!
This "exchange" is like an amplifier, amplifying and increasing the money in people's hands.
and many more!
No no no.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head repeatedly and started thinking crazily.
Cash for work!
Exchange dividends and price increases also require money!
There are at least 30 households in the entire Yong'an Mansion. If each household earns 50 taels of silver, that is 500 million taels of silver! This does not include the material money for building county roads and buildings. If it is also 1000 million 500 million taels, then the total is 3000 million taels of silver!
These are all actually taken out.
3000 million taels is almost the tax for the three years of the Ming Dynasty.
Where did Ouyang Lun get so much money? Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed.
Where did he get so much money?
Is this all Ouyang Lun's money?Or to be more precise, it is the money shared by dozens of listed caravans and people in the exchange!
A small Yong'an Mansion can spend 3000 million taels of silver.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt his face a little red and swollen, as if he had been slapped hard.
He even began to doubt that the national policies he had formulated before, such as focusing on agriculture and suppressing business, cracking down on businessmen, etc., were all wrong.
No, how could I be wrong!
If these 3000 million taels are used to replenish the national treasury, it is equivalent to obtaining Ming Dynasty's taxes for the next three years in advance.
3000 million is only used in the small Yong'an Mansion. What a waste!
"Wang Zhong, what do you think I raided Yong'an Mansion?"
