After Wang Yan finished speaking, the hall quieted down, everyone didn't speak, there was no problem with Hengyang Fan asking for money, everyone was willing to give it, but there had to be an explanation.

Although everyone has a big family and a big business, if everyone borrows this more than silver today, and the Hengyang Domain opens its mouth again another day, what should I do? Everything has to have a yardstick, but most of the officials are insatiable, which is also the helplessness of businessmen in this era.

There was silence in the hall, and at this time, the importance of one or two henchmen was reflected, Feng Yingchang was glanced at by Wang Yan, and immediately stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, I don't know what to say about borrowing silver this time, can there be a mortgage?" ”

Only Feng Yingchang can say this, who dares to ask Wang Yan for mortgage?

As a major political force within the Ming Dynasty, just like the political parties of later generations, no matter what they want to do behind their backs, they must first have an ideology and a party constitution in order to gather strength and come to the forefront.

At this time, most of the many parties in the Ming Dynasty also had their own ideas, and even the notorious Donglin also had "honesty and integrity, revitalize the rule of officials, open up the way of speech, eliminate the accumulated evils of the government and the opposition, and oppose the corruption and perversion of the law by the powerful." slogan. And the eunuch party was originally the product of the emperor to divide the Wenchen group in order to fight against the Wenchen group, so the Wei party also had a decent slogan to maintain imperial power.

Wang Yan returned to Guangjing this time and also carried out many activities, one was to talk about Mencius in the Guozijian, and wrote a letter to implore the imperial court to restore Mencius's status as a saint and re-invite him to the Confucian Temple, the second was to inspect many workshops of the Ministry of Industry and the workshops of merchants outside the city, and the third was to add the scriptures and meanings of Confucianism to martial arts.

Although his actions suffered a lot of criticism and were not fully approved by the imperial court, they conveyed to the outside world his political proposition of "the people are noble and the monarch is light, the four people are together, the civil and military are combined, and the world is a matter together".

Although these businessmen knew that Wang Yan encouraged industry and commerce and improved the status of businessmen, they were still in an absolute weakness when facing Wang Yan, and they would not change in the short term.

This is because their status was given by Wang Yan, not because they were really strong enough to change the social status of the entire class.

Feng Yingchang asked what they wanted to ask, and Wang Yan saw that everyone was looking at him, and said with a smile: "If you have any questions in your hearts, you can ask them to Feng Lao, and Lone will explain them one by one." ”

Looking at everyone's performance, Wang Yan knew that he still had a long way to go, just the four people, the stone people of the country, I am afraid that it will take more than ten years, or even a hundred years to change.

Then Gu will answer Feng Lao's question first, and also relieve your worries. Lone knows that this first loan has not been paid off, and now he has borrowed a second one, you will inevitably be worried, can Lone repay it? ”

Wang Yan paused, and the people below were guessed through their thoughts, and they felt a little embarrassed.

He glanced at everyone, and then continued unhurriedly: "Mortgage, naturally, there must be. This time, Lone intends to do it in a cooperative manner. Many mines in Guangxi and Guizhou, the government does not have the financial resources to invest in mining, and wants to cooperate with many firms, and the merchants only need to lend a sum of silver to obtain the right to mine, and this batch of borrowed silver is even the tax silver collected in advance by the governors of the five provinces, and after the silver is paid off, the governors of the five provinces will collect the mining tax in full. Do you think it's possible? ”

The mine is a thing, as long as it can be dug out, it will make a steady profit, and everyone can't help but be moved for a while when they hear it, but since it is a safe profit, how can such a good thing stay now, I am afraid that it will be divided up by the powerful people long ago.

These businessmen are all human spirits, and after a little excitement, they calmed down, and when Wang Yan saw this, he sat down and took a sip of the teacup, and they discussed in a whisper below.

After a while, an old man was instigated, and stood up a little nervously, saluted and asked: "Your Highness, as the villain knows, this land of Guangxi and Guizhou is full of mountains and dense forests. The villain wanted to know that the Chamber of Commerce had invested a lot in the early stage, and once the government paid off the arrears, would it take back the mine? ”

The people below listened and nodded, this person asked the point, if the business spent a huge amount of money, the road was repaired, and the mine was also released, at this time the government wanted to take back the mine, then they would not lose all their money.

Wang Yan nodded and said: "Fang Cai Gu said cooperation, naturally he will not make a move to harm you, this mining Wude firm is to account for thirty percent of the shares, and before the mining, you can make a contract with the government for about twenty years, what do you think?" ”

Handed over the mine to the firm to be mined, Wang Yan was considering it when he was in Huguang, not only to enrich taxes and obtain money, but also to use the financial resources of the private chamber of commerce to pass through the southwest when the government was insufficient.

He was the one who led the troops through Guizhou once, and he knew that the road was really difficult to walk, and it was extremely inconvenient for the government to transfer troops.

If these merchants wanted to transport the mines out, the road had to be reorganized first, and the bridge had to be erected, and once the road was opened, the Tusi in the mountains would also be under the management of the imperial court.

These firms can be used as the vanguard of the government to pass through the southwest, and save a lot of effort for the government.

When the old man heard this, he saluted and returned to his seat, and there was another discussion below.

With the example, the people behind them also became bolder, and one of them got up and saluted and asked, "Your Highness, I don't know which mines are they?" ”

Wang Yan listened, nodded and explained: "The copper mine in Tongren, the coal in Xuanwei in Shuizhou, and the iron ore in Qingyuan Mansion are all on this list. For more information, I will let Counselor Chen sort it out for you to see. ”

There is already small-scale mining in these places in Tongren, so it should not be too difficult for the firm to enter.

At this time, another person asked: "Your Highness, in the land of Guangxi and Guizhou, the Han people are scarce, the Tusi are all over the place, and the government is weak, what if the business and Miao Yi conflict?" ”

The atmosphere is lively, the businessmen are good at management, and the consideration is very comprehensive.

Wang Yan said calmly: "Before Lone, it was said that the Wude firm accounted for thirty percent of the shares, one of which was owned by the local Tusi, and it was also beneficial to them if the mine was mined. As for the weakness of the government in the southwest, you don't have to worry, the governor of the five provinces, Guangxi has the town of Zhongzhi, and later will also send the fierce general Chen Youlong into Guizhou, he is the general who quelled the Miao Yi rebellion, and enjoys prestige in the Miao Yi. As long as you abide by the law, if there is still a toast to make trouble, Lone will definitely send troops to exterminate it. ”

For the southwest, Wang Yan also has many strategies, such as the implementation of the government soldier system in these places where the Tusi is prevalent, so these Tusi will appoint a thousand households to garrison soldiers, and the local soldiers under them will be incorporated into the government soldiers, and then transferred to the conscription after a few years, once these people go down the mountain, after coming into contact with more advanced Han culture, most of them will not be able to return to the mountains after the expiration of the service period.

Of course, this was a long process of assimilation, the Ming Dynasty operated the southwest for more than 200 years, and the registered population in Guangxi was only 3 million, and Guizhou was even less than 1 million.

After listening to Wang Yan, everyone felt that this matter could be done, even if it was a loss in the end, it could be regarded as a donation to the Hengyang Domain, after all, the Ming bureaucrats who proposed to promote the four people at the same time and improve the status of businessmen were the only one, and they were still very willing to spend money on Wang Yan for the sake of future interests.

In the lobby, after a heated discussion among the people for a while, Feng Yingchang finally came out on behalf of many firms: "Your Highness, the old man has many firms, and he agrees to borrow one million silver from Wude firms without charging any interest. ”

After Wang Yan heard this, he was overjoyed, this year can be regarded as a solid life.

After saying the loan, Wang Yan pressed his hand and quieted everyone down, "Okay, thank you for your kindness, you don't charge Lone's interest, and Lone also gives you some opportunities." The imperial court prepared for war, but the Ministry of Industry was short of manpower and craftsmen, and important materials such as weapons, armor, and banners could not be rushed out. ”

Everyone immediately made an uproar when they heard this, this Ming hundreds of thousands of troops, the consumption of huge thousands, is to take an opportunity to make military shoes, a single can also make a lot of money, and these consumption is not a one-time, every year to order, it is definitely a good opportunity to continue to make money.

Wang Yan saw the warm atmosphere, and reminded with a smile: "This armor is not an ordinary thing, it is related to the life and death of the country, if you want to take over this business, you must first have enough strength to be able to complete it on time, if there is any delay, it will be punished by military law, and the quality must be in accordance with the regulations, and if you dare to cut corners, you will also be severely punished." If any of you think you have the strength to do the next, you can prepare in advance, and the officials of the Ordnance Supervisor will come to the firm to check it out. ”
