Chapter 66: Meaning is Meaningful

Although I don't know how Wu Sangui did it, now that so many local heroes have come, Park Ji-eun knows that the trouble on the dock must have been solved by Wu Sangui. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, it is.

heard about Wu Sangui's recent deeds from the scribes around him, from the idle fish canning workshop to the soaring fishing prices, Song Dongyuan made a lot of money, and Park Ji-eun gradually reminisced.

In any case, Wu Sangui, who has just arrived, has already made acquaintances with many local heroes. And, more importantly, the powerful gentry in these places also plan to stand in the same trench as Wu Sangui.

Once, Park Ji-eun didn't feel much about the arrival of the expeditionary company. It's like no one cares about the life or death of an ant, and a merchant, if he doesn't have some roots to be feared, is a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

But now it's different.

Oh Sam-gye has established himself here, and he has united so many gentry, which makes Park Ji-eun feel threatened. The other party already has the strength that he has to wait solemnly.

Park Ji-eun was vigilant in his heart, looked at Song Dongyuan in disbelief, and couldn't care about Song Dongwon's rude words.

I saw Song Dongyuan and the gentry present look at each other and said: "The old man plans to build a few workshops at home, and several old friends also plan to set up a few plantations and workshops. The names have been established, and it is not far away. However, Wu Dongzhu pleaded several times, and also felt that this was a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it should not be hidden. I was going to come and talk to Master Park. Of course, there is also an agreed tax. ”

"Running a workshop? Fixed taxes? Park Ji-eun keenly grasped the key point, grasped the measure, and hesitated: "Such a new thing ......"

Chen Zhenhui rarely interrupted a sentence in a low voice, and said with a smile: "When I was in Daming, I had a casual conversation with Lord Zheng of Zhizhou in Linqing Prefecture, and talked about an interesting story, I wonder if Lord Pu intends to hear it?" ”

"Listen up." Park Ji-eun was a little dissatisfied, but he was even more convinced that these two must be powerful people of the Ming Dynasty, thinking that His Majesty the Ming Emperor was about to arrive in North Korea, he felt the interests of the other party, and held back the impatience of being interrupted, and listened carefully.

At that time, Linqingzhou planned to use the power of the whole state to reorganize the old city and open up a workshop park to attract hundreds of merchants to enter. Lord Zheng, the governor of Linqing Prefecture, who strongly advocated this matter, told me that he had planned to go to the provincial government at that time, and then continue to do it after receiving support. After all, to rebuild the old city is to demolish and tear down the houses, and to move the people. Although this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, after the move, the people will be able to live in a more spacious and comfortable house. But...... The expenses are huge, and if they don't work, they won't be able to pay the salaries of the officials next year......" As soon as Chen Zhenhui opened her mouth, everyone couldn't help but listen carefully.

"Then what did Lord Zheng do in the end? It is said that such a major event must be reported to the officials, and it is easy to handle it when it is agreed. Park Ji-eun seemed to feel that this reason was not sufficient, and said: "Mr. Fang Cai is also talking about difficult financial matters, and it should be helped by a company!" ”

"It stands to reason that it is." How Chen Zhenhui didn't understand this truth.

Although the county government is a seal official, there are also a lot of assessments in the Ming Dynasty. Although in recent years, the demolition of the city and the construction of the workshop area have been proven to be able to stimulate investment, increase employment and other benefits for the country and the people. But the actions of the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not so fast, and the assessment of the yamen in various places is still the same as before, the core is to collect taxes, followed by education, and no accidents.

Demolishing the city is a good thing, but there are too many people who are easy to offend, and it is a big thing that is easy to go wrong at first glance.

If the officials don't agree to this kind of thing, won't the next year's assessment be a bad evaluation?

Seeing Chen Zhenhui respond like this, the expression on Park Ji-eun's face was a little stiff.

Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, how can you not understand the details of these words?

"Please give me advice." Park Ji-eun said softly.

Chen Zhenhui said with a smile: "I don't dare to give advice, it's just gossip." Then Lord Zheng originally said the same thing, and it stands to reason that it should only be done after the official agrees. However, the bigwigs in the province have different thoughts and work hard, and the bigwigs above do not make any obstacles, and can only report layer by layer, to the household department, to the ministry, and then to the cabinet, and the cabinet is not accurate, and it has to be reported to the desk of His Majesty the Emperor. Only when the Son of Heaven says a word and sets the direction, can he throw off his arms and do it. ”

"Understood......" Park Ji-eun quickly understood the meaning: "It's just that on top of this time, it won't be possible to delay it for three years and five years." ”

"That's right. Time is the biggest problem. Although the Ming Dynasty does not need three years and five years, it will take several months, and this is still under the condition that the local chief officials are able to do things. Chen Zhenhui said slowly.

"Da Ming is really different." Park Ji-eun said with emotion. The time of several months is still faster than Park Ji-eun imagined, but he also understands that the term of office of officials is limited, and if it drags on for so long, the daylily will be cold after approval: "It is absolutely impossible to prolong the time." If the business opportunity is missed, I am afraid that there will be no opportunity to build a workshop. Actually, is this really necessary? ”

"If you can live thousands of people, so that people can live and work in peace and contentment, how is it not important? This point, presumably Song Lao and the others must understand. Chen Zhenhui smiled, looking at Zhu Cihong and bowing slightly.

Zhu Cihong smiled and waved his hand, and said: "The moment Zheng Zhizhou reports the matter, it will be out of his control, no matter how much he wants to change Linqingzhou, he can't change the reality that he needs to face the entire political system." And in fact, the entanglement in the province is enough to explain everything. In the face of this request from the subordinates, there will certainly be a long discussion and repetition, until there is a group of courageous people who take on all the responsibilities. There are very few officials in Shandong Province who are so responsible, and the center may or may not be many. For most bureaucrats, it would be safer to report it all the way to the emperor's desk. But all the same...... The Emperor can also continue to let the ministers discuss...... Thus it fell into an indefinite spread until the emperor or some of the ministers who tried to make a difference stepped forward to take responsibility. ”

"Therefore, if you really want to do things, you can't be such a vulgar official who asks for instructions early and reports late." Zhu Cihong looked at Park Ji-eun pointedly.

Park Ji-eun is just as thoughtful.

He quickly understood this. It is safe and proper to report upwards. But it's also shifting responsibility. If the superior has a sense of responsibility, even if it is difficult to approve it, he will use all kinds of restrictions to prevent accidents.

It's just that Park Ji-eun doesn't understand that he has the motivation to do this.

At this time, Wu Sangui and Song Dongyuan glanced at each other, and said: "We have initially decided that each workshop will pay a fixed amount of tax, and each worker hired will pay a tael of silver tax. At present, we have recruited 69 workers. Plantations and workshops can generally be based on this. ”

"Really?" Park Ji-eun's eyes lit up.

He felt as if he understood all the cause and effect.
