The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Is there any reason for this?

A bitter tear, bitter!

……

……

"Ding... arrest Song Jiang and Wu Yong, kill Lu Zhishen and Li Kui, kill a large number of Bailian believers, get 2000 points..."

"Ding... Cracked the case of water grain smuggling, planted and eradicated the influence of the Confucian government in Jinan City, hit the reputation of the Confucian government, and got 30000 points!"

"Ding...forcing the grain merchants to lower the price of grain, and forcibly asking for 100 million shi of grain, to get 10000 points."

"A total of 43000 points."

In Yan Song's mind, two voices sounded.

This anti-thief is too worthless, and it is true that the Confucian mansion is the only way to make more money.

Without even thinking about it, Yan Song directly said to the system.

"Immediately draw a historical figure, a businessman."

"Ding... Consume 1 points to draw historical business figures... If you succeed in the draw, you will get [Jin Dynasty·Mi Lan]."

“[Mi Lan]: The grandson of Mi Fang, a famous businessman during the Three Kingdoms period, who was born in a merchant family and is proficient in business.”

Yan Song saw that this businessman was so-so, an unknown person, but his grandfather Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were very famous people. Their ancestors had been in business for generations, with tens of thousands of servants in their family, and their wealth was extremely rich. Later, they sponsored Liu Bei to conquer the world. It can be seen that this Mi family businessman How big is the family.

At this time, [Mi Lan]'s identity was the shopkeeper of a medium cloth shop in Jinan.

That night, Yan Song sent someone to notify the shopkeepers of 23 large commercial firms in Jinan, including most of the wealthy people and channels in Jinan.

On the second day, 23 people came to the chief minister's mansion, each in silk and satin, looking like a boss.

However, these people are usually majestic, but at this time they are trembling in their hearts, thinking that this Yan Song is hard to beat and wants to force bribes from them?If you give less, then it doesn't matter, and you will be very happy to offer money, but if the amount is huge, it will hurt.

Seeing Jin Yiwei and Dongchang standing upright with knives and cold faces around them, they couldn't help their legs trembling.

"Today, we are here to give you a chance to make money."

After Yan Song arrived, he got straight to the point.

Give everyone a chance to make money?

After hearing this, the merchants suddenly realized: "As expected, you are indeed the elder Yan Ge. This extortion of bribes is very fresh and refined..."

. .

Chapter 104 Establishing a Shipping Company [3]

"Sure enough, as expected of Mr. Yan Ge, this extortion of bribes is particularly fresh and refined..."

All the merchants bowed down.

At this time, Yan Song had already used mind-reading skills to monitor their thoughts throughout the whole process, trying to find out who was the businessman involved in the Confucian government so that he could be kicked out of the game, but when he heard these thoughts, he almost vomited ~ blood.

What a big mistake, he is not the original Yan Song, desperate to scrape money, it takes so much money to do shit, it is better to invest directly to occupy shares, in the future when the commercial bank develops, he can control the regional economy, no one in the government or business can compare Get over yourself, control the world, - this is awesome.

Yan Song glared at these businessmen_ angrily.

Those businessmen were stared at inexplicably, but they were terrified.

Yan Song said helplessly: "I called everyone here today, not to scrape your money, but to pull you into a big business."

The merchants nodded repeatedly, but they were still wondering.

"My big business is to set up a canal shipping company, integrate all the shipping of the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and establish a shipping company..."

When the merchants heard this, their eyes lit up.

This business, bull!

As soon as it is heard, it is very promising. Although it seems to destroy the interests of many people, who is this person in front of you?The chief minister of the dynasty!

With him taking the lead, who dares to stop? !

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is not the canal of the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty canal turned at a 60-degree angle, while the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was straight.

Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty set the capital at Yanjing (that is, Beijing) in the eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty, which broke the situation that the previous dynasties before the Song Dynasty set up Chang'an, Luoyang or Kaifeng in the hinterland of the Central Plains.In this way, the center of gravity of the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty must be moved to Beijing, the northernmost point.After the Yuan Dynasty unified Jiangnan, the rich products in the south of the Yangtze River were very important to the Yuan regime.

At that time, the main routes of north-south logistics were as follows: first, by sea, from Liujiagang in Taicang, Jiangsu, to the north along the Yangtze River Estuary, around the Shandong Peninsula to Tianjin, and then to Beijing, which caused many shipwrecks.

The second is the transfer of inland floods and droughts.Along the Jiangnan Canal, Huaihe River, Yellow River, Yuhe River, Baihe River, etc. to Beijing.This transportation route has been unloading goods many times in the middle, which consumes a lot of manpower and animal power; if the road is muddy in rainy days, it will be particularly difficult and inefficient.

Therefore, at this time, the design of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal began to appear.

It starts from Yuhang (that is, Hangzhou) in the south and ends in Beijing in the north, passing through the six provinces and cities of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei, Tianjin and Beijing; it runs through the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, with a total length of about 1794 kilometers.

The Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties were the peak period of water transportation. For more than 600 years, water transportation transported countless materials from the south to Beijing.And in these hundreds of years, the group formed by water transport workers, sailors, trackers... etc. began to grow stronger.

The shipping company that Yan Song mentioned is actually a Cao Gang in another sense.

However, the Cao Gang was only established in the Qing Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was still a small and scattered organization. Yan Song did not intend to establish the Cao Gang, because the Cao Gang was a gray organization that was not recognized by the imperial court and belonged to the nature of a black society.

There are four advantages of becoming a canal shipping company:

One is to set up a firm, and to join her own people (Mi Lan) in it, so that the firm becomes her invisible force.

The second is to provide a large number of opportunities for work-relief at various water transport points on the canal, so that the entire canal from the capital to Hangzhou, and the people in the entire area can earn money and eat to resist the disaster.
