Chapter 64: The Southern Suburbs Straight
The main folk trestle bridges of the Jingzhou waterway have begun to build private wharves. www.biquge.infoOfficially, this policy is not allowed. However, of course, local tyrants can bypass this policy, the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, generally speaking, the political power of local village sages occupies sixty percent of the state and county capitals.
The imperial power does not go to the countryside, and it has never been a matter of lip service.
"That Jiangyinzi of China Resources, a *** thief! The villain who must be compared! ”
The furious local tyrant smashed the table there, and the porcelain teacup on the table almost shook down, and the frightened servant was terrified.
The head of the store manager of China Resources is basically Zhang De's fellow township party. Hebei Province and Henan Province are mainly people from the Northern Sect of the Zhang Clan, and Zhang Gongjin's face must be given. However, the money is not in his hands, and it is impossible for Zhang De to let these people control the flow of money, basically these people are only in charge of specific affairs, and then control part of the personnel power.
Zhang De, the financial power, has never been thrown out since he gained a firm foundation in Chang'an, even Zhang Gongjin is confused in the face of miscellaneous accounts. Not to mention Zhang Gongjin, even if he asked the old shopkeeper of Quan Chang'an to check the accounts, his eyes were black, and he couldn't understand anything.
"Sect Chief, this can only be said at home, and you must not lose your words outside." The Cai family, a local wealthy family in Jingzhou, has a lot of connections in Shannan Road, and has a relationship with the royal family. In the unified army mansion, there are also Cai's children who serve, even the emperor, who can also speak, after all, the emperor's "flying horse" has Cai's family.
"The old dog of the warrior Tong is in Jingzhou, and Poly built a cement two-mile road that is only 700 square meters above the sky. This old dog hasn't left Jingzhou yet, and the section of the road at Caijia Wharf actually uses 600 square meters of cement for one mile? Is this cement made of silver? ”
The furious Cai clan patriarch couldn't wait to bite to death the Jingzhou treasurer of Poly Construction and China Resources Firm, but he was also angry, he couldn't afford to offend any of the powerful people in Beijing, let alone the China Resources who couldn't afford to offend the powerful people in Beijing.
Others don't know, as the patriarch, he still knows that among the backers of the China Resources going south this time, there are important ministers like Fang Mou Du Duan and Li Jing. Not only that, a special prince like Li Xiaogong, whose relatives and children on the left and right, also came out of their heads in the treacherous turmoil and showed their faces in the base camp of the state city built by Poly.
Li Xiaogong can basically only be corrupted to death, his thighs may not be as thick as Wei Zheng's, so it stands to reason that there is no need to be afraid of him. However, the patriarch of the Cai family knows very well that the emperor guards against the prince, it is the emperor's business, and if you take the prince as a ****, then you can't live it.
Insulting the royal family, unless it is a market of "scholars and doctors rule the world together", it is a dead end.
"There are people in Jiangyin and there are people in the court."
The old man of the clan was not in a hurry, and took a sip of tea, "This cement came out of Chang'an first, so naturally the people in their capital have the final say." ”
"It's really hateful......" The Cai clan patriarch was also entangled, naturally knowing that this was not something he could control. I just feel that my face is not as big as that of the samurai, and I am somewhat aggrieved.
However, it is not okay not to be aggrieved, and now the guiding light for the south to enter Beijing is the business name of China Resources. In addition to Poly Construction to help "sharpen its tools" and then "do its best", there is also SF Express to protect and transport property.
Moreover, the newly built straight road in the southern suburbs of Chang'an was nominally donated to the imperial court by Princess Langya's mansion. Of course, the land rights are still in the hands of Princess Li Ko of Langya, but the ownership of this straight road was given to the imperial court, and it was agreed that it would be used until Princess Langya's son became an adult. The temporary ownership seems to be a chicken rib, but two months after the trial operation, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry and Rites visited Princess Langya's Mansion in Sanbutang.
China Resources naturally also collects money inside, but this collection of money is operated by the imperial court from the market through China Resources. To put it simply, the government has ownership for 20 years, and then it is contracted to operate the China Resources.
In terms of profits, everyone can contract from the government.
Of course, the reality is very cruel, the friends of the "Zhongyi Society" went to Chang'an Ling to participate in the Guan Po of the Southern Suburbs Straight, a group of silver-armed overlords on the side, how could anyone do the bidding?
After getting it, China Resources handed over a fixed amount of money to the imperial court every year. As for whether the China Resources can make a profit from the southern suburbs straight, it is their business.
So the whole thing is very clear, Princess Langya's Mansion got a large piece of land in the southern suburbs at a very low price, and then Her Royal Highness Princess Li Ko did not farm, she found compassion in her conscience, and paid Poly to build a straight road connecting Nanshan Pass.
After the straight road was repaired, Princess Langya went to the court with the status of the rivers and lakes of the opening of the mansion, saying that she would donate this road for the convenience of the people. Of course, the time for convenience is very short, twenty years. That is the day when his son became an adult, that is to say, the court will play this road for free for twenty years, and it will not be a loss to make a fortune, but he has to look forward to his son's adulthood.
At first, the lower-class wastes of the Ministry of Civil Affairs thought that this was chicken ribs, although they didn't say that they didn't look forward to Princess Langya's son coming of age, but at least in the eyes of this group of wastes, can this road still play flowers? Qin Xiu said straight, didn't he burp too?
This kind of complaint can only be in my heart, and I naturally praise Princess Langya as a flower.
After two months of trial operation, China Resources has shown amazing strength, and on average, each foot trader, one round trip, can earn about 20 wen, which is already amazing. But the local wealth of Nanshan, especially those who sell fresh bamboo shoots, have to pay almost 300 wen for a trip to Chang'an.
According to the red and white deed between China Resources and the imperial court, it is probably two cents per person, which is the market for eating a bowl of mash.
A footman can not take the straight, but if he does not take the straight, he has to follow the old way. The old road is not far, but difficult to walk, even if it is an official road, that is, you can run horses, walk people and cars, you are all guilty.
Li Fengjie was originally responsible for the rice paper workshop, which also started from Nanshan, and now the rice paper workshop is departing, with two horses and four wheels and a carriage, and the steel spokes are lined with eucommia rubber and covered cowhide. If you take the straight road, the speed of the carriage is more than twice as fast as that of the official road.
Generally speaking, even if it is a single-handed foot trader, the essence of which is of course a peasant or an urban handicraftsman, but since he wants to buy and sell, he must pursue profits. According to the market in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, those who also live 30 miles away, whether they sell silk cloth or fishing line, they have to catch the morning market.
If it is the original road, unless it is set off overnight, and then enter the city when the city gate is opened, but this night road is down, and the effort to do business and sell is naturally not comparable to other houses. And if you take the southern suburbs of the straight road, of course, the premise is near the southern suburbs of the straight road, as long as you take the straight road, the rush will save more than half of the time, if there is a wheelbarrow, it is more relaxed and labor-saving, to Chang'an, even if you don't enter the city, in the outside set to sell, there are seven or eight points of strength.
This account is very easy to calculate, so even if it is a foot trader, he gritted his teeth and threw ten cents, and that was it.
What's more, the southern suburbs straight road has a feature, in addition to opening a pavilion for five miles, the pavilion is also equipped with coal and stone lamps. Although it is only a raised coal stove, it is simply reassuring to those who are in a hurry.
As for how to determine who is not taking the straight, this is very convenient. This road, at least for the past twenty years, is still owned by the imperial court. Therefore, those who collect taxes and distribute them to the southern suburbs have to work part-time as patrols.
Of course, the imperial court did not pay them double salaries, but the China Resources was very considerate and invented something called "subsidy". According to the meaning of China Resources, it is to see that these tax collectors are selfless and very admirable, so they subsidize some of these taxpayers to supplement their families......
It's scientific and reasonable. (To be continued.) )
