Number of romantic figures

Chapter 607 T-scroll benefactor, nobleman

It is not necessary to gain the favor of salt merchants, Feng Ziying does not need this, at least for now, but prestige is not established in such a way.

It is not only the barbarians who are afraid of power but not virtuous, but also the merchants. If they blindly show favors and win over them, and even promise them benefits, Feng Ziying believes that she can also get what she wants from these salt merchants, but this is not the best. tactics, even the worst of tactics.

Seeing Feng Ziying shaking her head slightly, Wang Wenyan's heart trembled a little.

Although she said verbally that she recommended this strategy the most, in fact Wang Wenyan did not agree with this method, but she did not want to leave an impression of being too harsh and scheming in front of Feng Ziying, so she said it against her will Such a sentence.

"grown ups?"

"Wang Wen, are there only these two strategies? It shouldn't be like this." Feng Ziying's eyes were deep, like a sharp sword, almost cutting open the depths of Wang Wenyan's heart and exposing it to the outside. "If you are worried about something, don't worry about it. After being in touch for so long, you should understand my temperament."

Wang Wenyan's body was cold, but his face was hot. He got up and saluted, "Classical Chinese is narrow."

Feng Ziying waved her hand, "Classical Chinese, we will have plenty of time to get to know each other in the future. As I said, I am a person who discusses both deeds and minds. There is no need to stick to it,..."

"Well, there is another strategy in classical Chinese, and that is to fight first and then to salute, to help both kindness and power, first use fierce fire, and then use slow medicine, to strengthen the righteous and timid,..."

Hearing Wang Wenyan speak slowly, Feng Ziying smiled.

This is the demeanor of the Donglin Party's think tank. The first two strategies, the first strategy is too fierce and cruel, will definitely encounter fierce backlash, and it is not conducive to my follow-up arrangements, and the second strategy is too stable and generous, which is also not conducive to my establishment .

What he said at this time was in line with his inner thoughts and intentions, and Feng Ziying was sure that although he was testing the other party, Wang Wenyan was also thinking about himself.

Of course, there is no need to point it out, trust is built step by step on such things.

"..., Classical Chinese, this strategy is very suitable for me, but you will have to work hard in the early stage. You have to perform enough tricks. The imperial court is pressing hard, and my classmates are coming soon. I have to give them a lesson before returning to Beijing Leave a scene that you can barely see, right?"

"I understand classical Chinese." Wang Wenyan bowed and sighed secretly in his heart. This person's mind is really hard to fathom, but the more he is like this, the more he values ​​himself, and he has mixed feelings.

sunflower garden.

"How to say?"

The old man grabbed a handful of fish food in his hand, and let the grains slip from between his fingers. Under the veranda, in the pool, drips fell, and red crucian carp swarmed to them. The blue waves and red shadows were really beautiful.

"I didn't say much, that little Feng Xiuzhuan just said a few words, and later it was Wang Wenyan who gave the detailed introduction." The middle-aged man standing behind him said cautiously.

"Wang Wenyan? It seems that Mr. Lin is determined to repay his son-in-law." The old man didn't care too much, "What do you think of what Wang Wenyan said?"

"Small ones are not good at judging, but listening to the opinions of these people around, it is still similar to donating and losing. In name, it has to pay interest, but the interest is very low. It is said that it is guaranteed by the imperial sea tax, and people can be selected by everyone to enter. The Department of Shipbuilding supervises, but it is not clear how to operate it,.... The situation in Yinzhuang is similar. I heard that Prince Zhongshun and Xiaofeng Xiuzhuan's Feng family all have shares, and there are also many clans and princes in the court. Including the household department will also open an account in Yinzhuang,..."

"Hmph, don't listen to that. The household department is empty now, so what's the point of opening an account?" The old man dismissed it.

"However, Wang Wenyan said that all the money from the sale of Kaihai bonds will be deposited in Haitong Bank, and the marine trade concession fee agreed by the maritime merchants in the early stage will also be deposited in Haitong Bank." The middle-aged man hesitated, "In addition, the younger one I also listened to Wang Wenyan's introduction to the scope of this bank's business. In addition to attracting merchants to deposit in cash and pay interest, it is mainly engaged in lending, but the interest is much lower than ordinary lending. Of course, its lending objects are also very It is harsh, it has to go through several formalities and reviews,..."

"Huh, the news from the imperial court is to fool everyone, let everyone invest in shares and deposit money, and then use it for the imperial court to build wharves and ships in Denglai and Liaodong to support the supply of Liaodong. This is an important task of the imperial court. Going in is like a tiger borrowing a pig - there is no return,..."

The old man raised his hand contemptuously, and threw out all the fish food in his hand, which attracted the red crucian carp to swarm and compete with each other in the pool.

"Then you mean..."

"Wait a minute, take a look, I don't think too many people will be interested, if it's not possible, then if you buy some bonds for 5 to [-] taels, it's right as a gift. As for Yinzhuang, thank you very much..." Clap your hands , the old man suddenly asked again: "Aside from me, how many other families have not gone?"

"Tan's family and Gui's family both pretended to be ill."

A smile appeared on the old man's face, "Next time, if this little Feng Xiuzhuan invites again, I will go there. I always need to save some face for the court."

"Master, it's just that I think there are still a few companies with different attitudes, and they seem to be a little interested..."

"Hmph, it's nothing more than Lin Ruhai exerting some pressure. There are always some people who care about old feelings and give him some face, but our Gao family doesn't have to." A soft smile appeared on the old man's face, "I heard that the imperial court I am not very satisfied with Lin Ruhai being bedridden and unable to watch things, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will also send people to inspect, maybe Master Tao will be in charge temporarily,..."

"Ah?" The middle-aged man was pleasantly surprised, "That's a good thing, our Gao family..."

"I won't mention this matter for the time being. It is estimated that the Supreme Emperor is still negotiating with the emperor about the new inspector censor, and it cannot be settled for the time being. But once Lin Ruhai dies, there must be a result. Well, it is probably the last term." The old man lightly He sighed softly, "Our Gao family has to take care of all the messes in this last term,..."

"Then the Zhen family..." The middle-aged man couldn't help but asked again.

The look of disgust on the old man's face disappeared for a moment, but then he regained his composure, "Ignore him for now."

*******
Contrary to everyone's expectations, after Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan called a group of salt merchants for a meeting and made a recommendation, he did nothing else.

Except for people like Wang Wenyan, Jia Lian, Duan Xigui and Wu Yaoqing who showed up in public and were willing to meet some merchants, Feng Ziying was nowhere to be seen.

The sea-opening bond issue involves the supervision of the Municipal Shipping Department and the payment of annual sea tax revenue. It is not up to Jia Lian and Duan Xigui to intervene.

Even the salt envoy Siyamen, here, saw that the people brought by Duan Xigui were doing calculations and bookkeeping, especially after the convenience and clear effect brought by the new bookkeeping method, Lin Ruhai also took the initiative to ask for two people, ready to As an official, he was included in the yamen of the capital transfer salt envoy.

"Feng Zhu met the uncle."

"Duan Peng has seen the uncle."

Standing aside, Duan Xigui looked at his two "proud disciples" kneeling on the ground with complicated expressions, and felt boundless emotion in his heart.

When Lin Ruhai asked for these two people, on the one hand, they were indeed talented in calculation and bookkeeping, and on the other hand, they naturally had a bit of Feng Ziying's face.

But it was a feat that changed the fate of these two men.

Two poor boys who have hardly ever studied formally in school, and a poor boy who didn't even have a clean suit before entering school, after their own hard work, the times are turning around now, and they have the opportunity to become an official in one fell swoop .

Perhaps in the eyes of scholars, officials are an inconspicuous existence, but for poor people like them who may only work in the countryside of Datong or Linqing for a lifetime, this transformation is like a leap from a dragon's gate.

The transfer of salt to the Siyamen involves the sending and receiving and transferring of salt introduction and salt class, which is quite complicated in itself, and also involves reconciliation with the Lianghuai Salt Field and the three sub-divisions below, and the workload is heavy.

How to establish a set of clear and measurable account mechanism that can be compared horizontally and vertically has always been the biggest problem for the Siyamen. It all depends on people to check and supervise the accounts. Every year, all kinds of accounts can make you exhausted .

Even if you know that some people are doing ghosts inside, if you cannot accurately determine at what time and in which area there is a problem, it is almost impossible to rely purely on people to check, so this is the most troublesome thing in every such yamen. of.

Unless it is an insider leaking out and there are external clues to report, no one can easily make up their minds to check and check the accounts.

But now the new double-entry bookkeeping method greatly reduces the workload, and it also greatly facilitates the difficulty of checking and reconciling accounts. Even if you are a layman, as long as you are a little familiar with this method, you can Know how to check the accounts, if you meet an expert, this efficiency will be greatly improved.

This also means that the risk of corruption and corruption will be greatly increased.

The two knelt on the bluestone slab and kowtowed three times in a row, which showed their sincerity, and Feng Ziying didn't stop it. He knew that this was the other party's way of expressing gratitude, and he had to accept it.

The eye circles of the two boys are red, obviously the excitement and gratitude in their hearts after learning of such an opportunity is hard to suppress.

They went south this time thinking that they could find a big business like Feng Runxiang and get a stable job. Even if they were temporarily called to help in the yamen of the capital to transfer salt, they never expected to stay in this yamen for a long time. A bowl of rice, but now this kind of thing happened, and even the status of an official was given.

No matter how ignorant they are, they also understand what such an opportunity means to poor boys like them, and their fate will be completely changed. They will become masters and be able to glorify their ancestors.

It can even be said that even if they are really not here in the future, they will be transferred to the Salt Envoy's office, and when they go out, countless people will come to hire them with high salaries.

Without him, just rely on this qualification.

Officials from the Department of Yamen are transferred to the Salt Envoy, just like the technical cadres from the Ministry of Finance or the Central Bank of later generations. Which large enterprise is not thirsty for talents?

All these changes are due to this noble person in front of him.
