Chapter 24 Shaofu Admission

Wang Shu sent Chen Yue away, not expecting this person to resist anything.

Suzhou's problems can only be solved by himself.

He sent someone to invite Wang Yue.

Before Wang Yue arrived, he opened more than a dozen letters.

The matter in Suzhou, from the rumors to the current situation, has only been ten days, but at this time, the Jingshi has reacted.

These dozen letters were all sent to him through personal connections.

But the content and names of people are not personal at all.

First of all, Han Yong's handwritten letter, and then there was Qiu Jun, and Shang was a member of the two cabinets, which can be regarded as an alliance with Wang Shu.

As for the others, they were also court officials.

In Han Yong's letters, he did not say anything personal, but emphasized to Wang Shu the importance of Jiangnan to the Ming Dynasty, especially the time period when the imperial court has greatly increased.

No matter what the reason, Suzhou can't be chaotic, and Jiangnan can't be chaotic.

But Han Yong didn't say a word about business taxes.

Obviously, this matter was proposed by Han Yong, and Han Yong would not take the initiative to back down.

also asked Wang Shu to levy commercial taxes, but Jiangnan can't be chaotic.

The letters of Shang Shi and others explain the basic situation, but there are many officials who impeach Wang Shu, ignore the king's law, act recklessly, provoke civil unrest, and so on.

There is also the emperor's disposal, all of which are left in the middle and not sent, as if there is no such thing.

Wang Shu took a deep breath and only felt very stressed.

Zhu Qizhen has always been diligent in government, and there are very few cases where he does not make a decision. This incident was naturally intentional by the emperor, and it was to give Wang Shu time and opportunity.

Let Wang Shu settle this matter.

It's hard to say what will happen if the time passes.

Wang Shu leaned on the Taishi's chair, and when he usually sits, he always stood and sat with a statue, and he did not walk beyond the rules. Etiquette square. And this kind of almost full body paralysis on the Taishi chair is just something he did when he was a teenager.

Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps.

He immediately sat down, but a brocade guard knocked softly on the door outside.

Wang Shu put away the letter and mixed it with a volume of "Four Books and Five Classics". said: "Enter." ”

This brocade guard said: "My lord, just now, Xu Chunshen has closed all the factories in Suzhou, and all the workers have been dismissed. ”

Wang Shu listened, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Okay, I know." ”

He secretly said in his heart: "Xu Chunshen seems to be preparing a road to go dark." ”

However, he also knew that Xu Chunshen's move was to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of himself.

Xu Chunshen completely withdrew from Suzhou, and the loss was so great that it could not be made up for by hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and even this figure was still said to be less.

But he also puts himself in the shoes of a weakling.

The king forgave him a restriction, and he did not

Good execution.

The whole of public opinion is sympathetic to the weak.

Xu Chunshen completely played the role of being persecuted by the government.

If Wang Shu holds on to it, I am afraid that more people will impeach him.

Not to mention, there were newspapers in this era.

In the Biyong Society, the rapid development of newspapers, although limited by the huge investment in copper movable type, among all the newspapers in the world, it is still the most exquisite printing of Ming Pao.

But it doesn't mean that wooden type can't be used.

After the newspaper spread in Beijing, it also blossomed everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the process of newspaper promotion is closely related to the economic level of each locality.

In the northwest, southwest and other places, the distribution of newspapers is very scarce, but in the south of the Yangtze River, especially Nanjing. The number of newspapers has surpassed that of Beijing.

Because Nanjing's political status is extraordinary after all, a lot of news can be known in advance, and many southern newspapers like to be based in Nanjing, covering Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi provinces, which is the richest place in the Ming Dynasty.

It is also the place with the highest level of culture and education except for Fujian.

The public opinion of the newspaper is now regarded as the history of the white-clothed emperor.

If many things are violently reacted to by the newspapers, it will be difficult for the imperial court not to respond.

Xu Chunshen's move made Wang Shu in a dilemma, and he was very passive.

This brocade guard immediately withdrew, but met Wang Yue at the door. Wang Yue glanced at the Jinyi guard, came in and saluted, "Meet your lord." ”

Wang Shu said, "Sit." ”

After Wang Yue sat down, he asked, "My lord, what happened just now?" ”

Wang Shu said: "Xu Chunshen commanded my army. The situation was then explained.

Wang Yue listened and said, "What a powerful move." The person behind this move must not be Xu Chunshen. ”

Wang Shu naturally understood.

Because Xu Chunshen's loss is too great. If this matter is viewed from Xu Chunshen's point of view, it is completely useless.

Naturally, it shows that Xu Chunshen has a reason to do it, and the most likely reason is that someone behind him asked him to do it. He obeyed and had to do it.

Wang Shu said: "Probably Lu Lin." He was reluctant to talk about this person in depth, and said, "Don't talk about this, how are you preparing for going to Nanjing?" ”

Wang Yue said: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life. Eight million taels have been gathered. ”

Although Wang Shu has not yet figured out how to break this situation. But I also understand one thing, if this is a battle, then the soldiers of the battle are nothing else, money.

Only money is the key to victory or defeat.

So, the first thing he has to do is find money.

How to find money.

Naturally, it is among the Shaofu banks.

This led to Wang Yue going to Nanjing, which almost violated all the rules and regulations of Shaofu Bank. That's why I got these eight million taels of silver tickets.

Ironically, these rules and regulations are still Wang Yue's system

Definitely.

It is not for nothing that Wang Yue works so hard.

He saw an opportunity.

Then Shaofu overturned the Xu family and entered the textile industry.

Shaofu is not without layout in textiles.

In the past, the weaving bureaus in various parts of the world had been abolished, but Jiangnan weaving and Jingdezhen porcelain were all retained by Liu Dingzhi.

The reason why Liu Dingzhi was retained was naturally to make money.

The scale of Jiangnan weaving is not small.

But in recent years, when the textile industry has developed greatly, Jiangnan weaving has fallen behind.

There are many reasons for this.

First of all, it is Jiangnan weaving far away from Shaofu's base camp Beijing. In many cases, if you can't borrow the power of the Shaofu system, you are simply hanging in the south of the Yangtze River.

Secondly, there are very few qualified businessmen in the Shaofu system.

Jiangnan Weaving has a group of people with good craftsmanship, and many of the parts they produce are the most high-end silk satin. It is not worried about selling, for the explosive development of cotton cloth in recent years.

I'm sorry, Jiangnan Weaving is not doing it at all.

Because among the cotton cloth, although there are some extremely high-quality products, most of the cotton cloth is still worn by the common people, and it is not looked at by the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau at all.

Then there is Jiangnan weaving and the local business environment is incompatible. There are many people among the gentry in Jiangnan who have no good impression of Shaofu, such as Lu Lin.

In this way, although Jiangnan weaving has a profit of more than 100,000 taels every year, but that's all, if it is not for Jiangnan weaving in the fabric has a unique skill, I am afraid that this profit can not be maintained.

However, it is not that Jiangnan weaving is useless, the biggest advantage of Jiangnan weaving is that it has a group of craftsmen with the highest skills in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qizhen's dragon robe is made of Jiangnan weaving.

There are so many masters who are familiar with the industry, coupled with the environment of Suzhou, there is no shortage of ordinary textile workers.

This provides a foundation for the rapid rise of Jiangnan weaving.

Wang Yue has now been designated as the successor of the concubine Shi Jing. But in many cases, no matter how much it is decided, there will still be variables before the appointment is made.

Therefore, Wang Yue is going to take some great credit and finalize this matter.

If he can control the Jiangnan cotton cloth industry in the hands of Shaofu, it will be a great achievement for Wang Yue, so he feels that it is worth taking this risk.

Wang Shu said: "Eight million taels, enough." Can Shaofu open up to harvest silk, silkworm cocoons, and cotton. ”

Wang Yue immediately saluted and said, "Your Majesty obeys orders." However, this can only be recorded in the account of Jiangnan Weaving. ”

Wang Shu listened to Wang Yue's words, and guessed his careful thoughts. He doesn't like the expansion of Shaofu too much on weekdays.

It's just that now, he doesn't have much choice.

It's nothing more than the lesser of two harms, and no matter what Shaofu says, it's also the court's. Besides, Wang Shu was also holding his breath in this situation.

Wang Shu said, "Yes." ”
