Chapter 96: With money, everything goes well

A full moon rises, and the bright moonlight shines on the water of the River Joux, rippling and rippling. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe cicadas that croaked during the day could no longer be heard, and only occasionally a birdsong pierced the night sky from nowhere.

The night in the mountains is quiet and full of life, and the eyes are empty, and even the lights are rarely seen. Sitting in such a night, people's mood can't help but calm down, as if they are one with this heaven and earth.

Seeing that Xu Ping looked at the night with a calm expression and didn't talk much, Zhao Yan said: "Yun Xing seems to have a lot on his mindβ€”β€”"

Xu Ping came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head: "I'm not a sentimental girl, how can I have so many things on my mind." It's just that this year has been complicated, and I'm tired of doing everything, and I haven't calmed down like this for a long time. ”

Wang Gongchen said with a smile: "No matter what yamen Du Cao is in, he always wants to do everything in a year and a half, of course he can't calm down." Just like me, I don't want to eat so much, eat and sleep, and live happily. ”

"You are also from a champion background, and you have been in charge of the camp and field affairs for two years, and the bookish energy on your body is about to dissipate."

Hearing Xu Ping say this, everyone laughed together. is also the champion, Wang Yaochen is gentle and elegant, Wang Gongchen is more casual, more frank and sincere, and a little less subtle and deep as a reader.

Zhao Yan sighed: "Speaking of which, since Yunxing returned to the capital, he has really done a lot of things in the past two years. In the past, everyone in the three divisions and yamen was worried about the emptiness of the treasury, and at the end of the year, they were either worried about the rewards of officials and soldiers, or they were afraid that the saint would send someone to collect debts, and there would be no comfortable day. Since Yunxing presided over the Salt and Iron Division, there was no shortage of money in the hands of the three divisions, the officials' hearts were smooth, and their waists were also straightened. Now Chen Zhao's family is in charge of the three divisions, and he is really a scheming person, and he does not lose to participating in politics. ”

"It's easy to get rich! As a third envoy, when others come to you for money, there is always nowhere to pay, so naturally you have no confidence, and it is easy to do it with money in your hands. If you want any yamen to do something, if you don't agree, I will stun you with a lot of copper coins! ”

Wang Gongchen said loudly while drinking, looking complacent.

The same is true for the field work, they are all farming in the local area, and if they have no money in their hands, they will be like beggars in the eyes of the local state and county officials. It's different if you have money, you are a rich man everywhere, and Wang Gongchen has a head and face wherever he goes.

The official institutions of the field affairs category, because they hand over profits every year, as long as the business is prosperous, the supervision is not strict, and the money at hand is much more generous than that of the local government. Of course, it would be unlucky to encounter an unlucky guy who runs the official field at a loss.

At present, many prefectures and counties where the field affairs are located owe Wang Gongchen money and grain, and judging by the trend, there is no hope of repaying it in two or three years. When the creditor sees the debt, it is naturally different, Wang Gongchen is now going well, and asking for land in the local area is just a matter of one sentence. Speaking of which, the Jingxi Road Transit Envoy also owes a lot of debts to Yingtianwu, but Wang Gongchen believes in Xu Ping's financial management ability, and the relationship between the two is close, and he has no consciousness of being a creditor in front of Xu Ping.

Yes, having money in this world is easy to do, whether it is in the officialdom or in the people, whether it is for officials or the people. In addition to the political downfall, the biggest reason why those impeached and defiled officials was that they had money in their own hands, but the official yamen they presided over had no money. If you can increase the official wealth at the same time, then the risk of accidents will be much smaller. If you can't let the official financial resources be abundant, even if you are honest yourself, you will also face a lot of pressure, others will not be able to grasp the handle, and you will always be incompetent and will not be able to escape.

Xu Ping is now facing this embarrassment, since he took office on Jingxi Road, he spent money generously and did a lot of big projects, but these were completed with debt. Even if the creditor Wang Gongchen does not force the debt, the eyes of other officials are staring. There must not be a situation where one term is done and a lot of debts are left, so Xu Ping's reputation will be ruined on Jingxi Road.

Now that all kinds of investments have not come to see returns, it is impossible for Xu Ping to calm down. Manpower is always exhausted, and who can guarantee that all kinds of accidents will not occur? Just like the drought in Henan this year, Xu Ping did not expect that there was a huge deficit in plain white. While patrolling along the way, Xu Ping also forgot to pay attention to the drought situation in Henan Province, and the official documents continued.

Just ten days ago, the first rain of the year fell in Henan Province, and this first rain was a torrential rain, and the disaster continued. Wang Yaochen was tired of rushing for disaster relief, and Xu Pingxin, who was hundreds of miles away, also mentioned it in his throat, for fear that there would be an accident in those big projects.

Fortunately, there was no danger that the dikes did not collapse in various places, and there was water overflowing in some places, and there were no major disasters. The project that took so much effort to build, if it has not been contributed, there is no benefit to all parties, and it was washed away by heavy rain in the first year, who did Xu Ping find to reason? No matter how justified you are, the facts will prove you wrong.

Vaguely, Xu Ping felt that there were several pairs of eyes in the night sky, looking at him in this rain, his eyes were cold. There seems to be a huge mouth behind it, and it is ready to swallow itself at any time.

On the other side of the river is the cotton field of the camp, which is now in bloom, and the moonlight occasionally flashes in the night.

Heavy rains in Henan Province will eventually flow to the Yellow River, and even if they are close at hand, they will not affect the Huai River basin. Ruzhou and Tangzhou have all had good weather this year, and Yingtianwu has encountered a good year, and Wang Gongchen is in a good mood.

Xu Ping needed these cottons, and needed them to turn into snow-white cotton cloth, in exchange for yellow and clear copper coins for the transfer envoy. Regardless of whether it is industrial or commercial, although Xu Pingjian's field affairs have played a role, the market in this era is too small to be converted into huge financial resources. Only food, clothing, shelter and transportation, the commodities necessary for countless people, can burst out with amazing power.

For example, wine makes money, but even the financial officials of this era know that the market for wine is limited, and no matter what technology you use and what business methods you use, there is an upper limit to the wealth you can earn from it, and it will not be much more than the original old method. Most of the other walks of life have this characteristic, can not expand the market, but the role of improving profit margins is very limited, Xu Pingjian's field affairs, but also only vehicles as a means of production, has a bonus effect on wealth generation. The transshipment envoy is in charge of money and grain all the way, not the landlord of the land, and personal money is different from the increase of social wealth, which is Xu Ping's difficulty.

The roads have not yet been paved, the goods in circulation are being explored, and the vehicles are not enough to start the multiplication of wealth. It is only after autumn that cotton cloth is injected into the distribution network that has now taken shape, like an excavated canal to bring in water, that everything becomes alive and the whole game of chess comes alive. Without this water, the business networks formed would be useless.

It's already the height of summer, and Xu Ping is looking forward to the arrival of autumn soon, which is the season of his harvest.
