Number of romantic figures

Chapter 606 I Have Three Strategies
Although she is used to such clichéd beginnings, Feng Ziying still has some indescribable feelings when facing this group of people who are almost the richest people in the entire Great Zhou.

There are eight households and twelve families, and any one of them has more than one million assets. Although I dare not say that any one can easily come up with one million cash, but in terms of overall assets, one million is definitely the minimum base. It should be said that Most of them are more than 400 million. They dare not compare with the Wu family of the Thirteen Banks in the Qing Dynasty, but they are definitely a top group of people in this era.

As long as they are willing, it is no problem for each household to collect 50 taels of silver. It is not difficult for families like the top ones to come up with millions of cash.

In other words, if you met a ruthless emperor who killed chickens and took eggs, and really wanted to wipe out all the salt merchants, ransacked his family and wiped out his family, then collecting 5000 million taels of silver would not be a problem.

Of course, this is just a fantasy. No emperor would take such a move. These salt merchants are also inextricably linked with the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Doing so will only encounter a strong counterattack from the gentry class, unless you can do it like you did in the previous life. Li Zicheng also ignored officials and gentry when he entered Beijing and carried out torture.

And for a dynastic regime, its impact and influence can only outweigh the gains.

The existence of each class group has its own reasons, and simply breaking this rule will only bring about counterproductive effects, but if it is only aimed at some of them, that is another matter.

"... First of all, I want to clarify one thing here. The imperial court has no intention of forcing donations. You can also put your heart into your stomach..."

Feng Ziying is actually very clear that such words are difficult to convince these experienced businessmen. They believe that it is safest to keep the silver in their own cellars, or turn it into their own land, but he has to go through such a procedure. .

Etiquette is done, as for whether to believe it or not, whether you are willing or not, it depends on your follow-up ability.

The leading figures among the several salt merchants still smiled and nodded repeatedly, but they were all calmly inquiring about the doubts in the eyes of the partners around them. What exactly is this person trying to do?
Hit the autumn wind?It's understandable, so hurry up and draw out the road, and be mentally prepared.

What's the purpose of building momentum in the early stage if it's not apportionment and donation?
All kinds of fanfare to create momentum, the court can think for the sake of the merchants, and make profits for the merchants, wouldn't that mean that wolves don't eat meat and dogs don't eat shit?
The salt merchants are clear about the issue of Yinzhuang's stock offering and Kaihai bonds.

Although the Zhongshu Department is not a newly established yamen, it has been endowed with brand-new functions. As soon as it opened, you, Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan who launched the strategy of opening the sea, came straight to Yangzhou, and you It is too obvious that it lives next to the Siyamen, the salt envoy of both Huaihe River and Huaihe River, isn't it?
Didn't they come here for our salt merchants, or could they come here for the medicinal material merchants or southern goods merchants in Yangzhou?

Seeing a group of businessmen still with modest faces and pleasant smiles, nodding their heads incessantly in front of their own words, they looked supportive and supportive, but Feng Ziying knew that his deceit did not succeed, which he expected.

"Everyone, I also know that everyone here admires the teachings of the imperial court. In the past, when the Supreme Emperor went to Jiangnan six times, the sincerity of the gentlemen was commendable, and the imperial court was also quite pleased. Before I came, the emperor personally summoned the lower officials and encouraged them. Gentlemen have always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic,..."

Feng Ziying's temper gradually became cold, but there were still all kinds of praise in his words.

"Everyone has made great contributions to our scenic spots in the south of the Yangtze River, such as the Eight Scenic Spots of Yangzhou, and the Qinhuai Fengyue, the scenic spots of Suzhou and Hangzhou. I am too young to have the opportunity to see all the splendid scenes of the Taishang Emperor's trip to the south. It is really a pity. , but I can still get a glimpse of the style from some Jiangnan folk legends,..."

The atmosphere in the whole hall gradually cooled down. Some people began to sweat down their backs, some lowered their eyes and shivered uneasy, and some pretended to be calm and sipped tea,...

Wang Wenyan couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his back. This group of people can reach the sky. The words compiled by Xiao Feng may be rushed to Beijing tomorrow.

Who can not understand the meaning of your words?

The Supreme Emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, you guys are all excited and dedicated, now the new emperor is in trouble, and the court is serious, but you want to dismiss the beggars?

Feng Ziying didn't pay attention to the expressions of the group of people. He also knew very well that these words alone could at most make these people vigilant, but it was not that simple to make them bow their heads and follow their own intentions. Will obediently fall into the game easily.

"I know that you have lived in the salt industry for many lifetimes, and you may not know much about other businesses. You are familiar with classical Chinese, and I borrow you from Mr. Lin, which means I want to borrow from you. I will explain to you the two major events of this trip to the south, don't take the court's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs..."

In the face of Feng Ziying's understatement, Wang Wenyan also pretended to be bitter, and could only reluctantly nod, "Uh, Mr. Feng, I don't know much about your going south, I just heard you said it. A few times, I only understand a rough idea of ​​the many subtleties in it,..."

"Okay, Wenyan, Mr. Lin has temporarily loaned you to this official. You have been with this official for a while. Compared with the Kaihai bond and the Yinzhuang matter, you understand the good and bad. Let me tell you about it. The ins and outs can also make them understand that this is not an apportionment donation,..."

Pretending to be unable to evade, Wang Wenyan could only start with the Kaihai bond, introducing the purpose, intention, collateral, and implementation method of the imperial court's issuance of the Kaihai bond, etc., and then introduced the establishment of Yinzhuang. The purpose, meaning, and mode of operation are also explained in detail.

It should be said that Wang Wenyan's narration is more effective than Feng Ziying's. After all, he is a familiar person. He has dealt with salt affairs for many years, so he should give some face no matter what. He also holds the lifeblood of everyone.

When Wang Wenyan sent all the salt merchants back to Feng Ziying's study one by one, Feng Ziying smiled and said, "How do you feel, isn't it good?"

"Isn't your lord prepared? If it's 5 to [-] taels of silver, you don't need your lord to come forward, and the classical language can agree for them, whether it's buying Kaihai bonds or buying shares in Yinzhuang, but what your lord wants is obviously more than that. You are a human being, and you know it in your heart, so you dare not express your opinion lightly."

Feng Ziying stroked her chin, "Is my face so big? Twenty families, each with 5 taels, that's 100 million taels of silver."

"My lord, you also said that the Kaihai bond is equivalent to a loan from the imperial court, with interest, while Yinzhuang's stock offering is a shareholding, and the profit is divided into dividends. Do you really think that these salt merchants are stupid? They have too much money? Through various channels, I found out a lot of inside stories in the court, and these superficial gestures cannot be hidden from you, my lord, but they also know the general details."

Wang Wenyan's words also shattered some of Feng Ziying's surviving fantasies. The gang of salt merchants is indeed deep and wide enough. They are all mature characters. They will not be easily intimidated by him, but they will not tear themselves apart. , Even they have long been mentally prepared to accept certain conditions, which means that now is a process of bargaining.

There is really no secret at all in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially for such things, there are a lot of interests involved behind everyone, like a spider web, and they can be known with a slight movement.

I'm afraid that this group of people was already discussing countermeasures with their Olympic aid in the court before they went south.

"Wen Yan, what do you think I should do now?"

Feng Ziying pondered, and he also hesitated.

It is not impossible to kill chickens to scare monkeys, or kill one to scare a hundred, but the key is whether the benefits can be maximized.

If it goes too far, the counterattack force of salt merchants has to be taken into consideration.

If the people above throw away the car to protect the handsome, his strategy of opening the sea becomes making wedding clothes for others. He Feng Ziying is not the kind of pure minister who only cares about the life and death of the country and avoids it because of misfortune and fortune. In this big week, it is unrealistic to want to be a pure minister, and I don't have the qualifications yet, and it is impossible for me to do such a thing.

"That depends on what the adults think." Wang Wenyan also knew that the new owner was testing him, and his eyes were as calm as water. In fact, he had been thinking about this question for a long time, and he had thought about it a lot.

"Oh? Talk."

Wang Wenyan originally wanted to say that I have three strategies, up, middle, and down, but he didn't know whether the new owner liked the taste of pretending to be a dog-headed military adviser, so he swallowed the thought of showing off.

"Most of the current group of salt merchants are old people left over from the era of the Supreme Emperor. If the emperor and the cabinet really want to avoid others, then Wenyan recommends that the adults can fully join forces with Long Jinwei, abandon the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and take down the three first. The four families were killed in one fell swoop, and estimated in classical Chinese, the income of 1000 million taels is safe,..."

Feng Ziying remained silent. Of course he understood what Wang Wenyan meant by not taboo. It's not impossible, but now?
Seeing that Feng Ziying was silent, Wang Wenyan said again: "If your lord thinks this strategy is too cruel, you can also use Long Jinwei as a line and Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate as a gun to choose one or two. Gaining prestige and goodwill from the Nanjing Six Departments, and achieving the goal, three to five million taels should not be a problem, and classical Chinese also recommends this strategy.”

The relationship between salt merchants and the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate is naturally very close. The new Zuodu Yushi of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate also came from the Beijing Central Metropolitan Procuratorate. If this is the case, it can be regarded as a safe strategy.
