Ma Zili nodded busily: "In the future, the Silk Road will be opened, all kinds of goods in the Western Regions will go south, and the delicate goods of silk tea produced in the south of the Yangtze River will go north, and the transportation pressure will be doubled. ”

Yang Junmin said with a smile: "Since I answered the tribute, the border trade has flourished, and the cloth and porcelain that the Mongolian tribes want are produced in the south, and the land transportation is inconvenient. ”

Qin Lin pursed his lips and just smiled, his expression was quite a bit of a posture of inviting you into the urn, Ma Zili and Yang Junmin looked at each other, and secretly said strangely in their hearts, could it be that Chief Qin had other meanings?

Shen Xin's qualifications for business are older than the first two, he thought about it for a while, and his face showed a sudden realization: "The imperial court dredges the rivers, and we have a lot of money, of course, if we want to donate silver and grain to help the grand event, please ask General Qin to hold on to it - but dredging the river and renovating the water conservancy are beneficial to the gentry and people on both sides of the strait, and the imperial court also has the responsibility of the imperial court, so we will never put the burden on our shoulders." ”

Shen Xin's words were taken care of inside and out, and he said it really well, Ma Zili and Yang Junmin admired him for his many eyes when they heard it, and said that General Qin should accept it this time.

Qin Lin still smiled and said nothing, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes narrowed into slits, he was simply a cunning little fox.

Ma Zili, Yang Junmin, and Shen Xin were all gone, so they had to look at Wang Chonggu for help, after the young master's mansion was unlucky, the wealthy family in Guanzhong was faintly headed by the Wang family.

The little fox's ghost idea, always can't hide it from the old fox, Wang Chonggu lived for more than seventy years, except that he has never been a cabinet assistant, all officials in the Ming Dynasty have done it, Hai Rui dismissed, Yan Song fell, Gao Gong is specialized, Zhang Juzheng's new policy, except for a man who has never seen a child, the Ming Dynasty has seen everything inside and out, how can he not know the ghost idea in Qin Lin's stomach?

Wang Chonggu twisted his snow-white beard, straightened his waist, looked solemn, and said in a loud voice: "Governing the river is a hundred-year plan, and it is related to countless lives on both sides of the strait, so you can't be careless!" If you want to control the river, you must first choose people, if you choose the dumb officials, corrupt officials, and mediocre officials, the governance of the river will not be conducive to flooding, and will it not make the lives on both sides of the strait miserable? The old man thought that Pan Shiliang, the former waiter of the Ministry of Works, was not only honest and honest, but also had the skill to govern the river. ”

Oops, I see! Ma Zili, Yang Junmin, and Shen Xin really suddenly realized this time, and said in unison that Pan Shilang is the first water control officer of the National Dynasty, and besides him, there is no second person who can dredge the rivers.

Pan Jitao is a person that Wanli hates, and it will take a lot of risk to protect him, but this is nothing compared to the huge benefits of opening the Silk Road. In order to make money, the Jin merchants can do it by connecting the enemy and betraying the country, and they are afraid of protecting a squire of the Ministry of Works who does not fight for power and only works?

Qin Lin slowly withdrew his fingers, Ma Zili and the others were relieved, and they were all overjoyed, and they were eager to give a high-five to General Qin.

Unexpectedly, Qin Lin withdrew his hand, pressed it lightly on the table, and said lightly: "By the way, as soon as the Silk Road is opened, the wealth is rolling in, so there is no need to scrape the meat on the legs of the heron, and it is too exploiting the people of the Sanjin Dynasty in Guanzhong, right?" Guanzhong Sanjin people's livelihood is tired, it's time to push the new deal, my old brother Zhang Dutang just wants to get a clear name, you are for future generations, please cooperate with one or two. ”

The two sentences, which were not salty or light, exploded like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Wang Chonggu's eyes narrowed, Yang Junmin gasped, Ma Zili's eyebrows were raised, Shen Xin pursed his lips tightly, and his expression was very strange.

Qin Lin reopened the Silk Road, the taxes satisfied the imperial court, and the profits satisfied the Jin merchants, so that Pan Jitao was restored, and even from this, he could even start from this and plan the next exhibition...... But the most important thing is the people of Guanzhong Sanjin! It is necessary to re-implement the new policy that was jointly boycotted by the wealthy families in Guanzhong in the past few years and was not really implemented in the Sanjin Dynasty in Guanzhong!

Seeing that the four wealthy heads were silent, Qin Lin couldn't help but sneer, it was really easy to give profits to others, and it was difficult to take advantage of others, even if the benefits of reopening the Silk Road were far greater than the benefits obtained by exploiting tenants, the wealthy families of the Jin merchants still couldn't help but hesitate.

After all, the implementation of the New Deal was not only for economic gains, but also, to a certain extent, touched the local political pattern and weakened the foundation of the wealthy Jin merchants as large landowners among the people.

"Guanzhong is tired and the people's livelihood is withering, are you still obsessed?" Qin Lin slapped the table hard, and drank as a head: "You rich people in the world are even in the field, but the poor have no place to stand, if there is chaos in the future, it will be a husband who ascends to the heights and shouts, and thousands of people gather to respond, how to preserve the family property and land at that time?" Qin is really worthless for you, and even more despised! ”

Historically, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong swept the world, and many Jin merchants were ruined, and as a group, they chose to cooperate with the Jianzhou Jurchens to lead the Qing soldiers to chase away the Kou to protect the family business. But now that the Jianzhou Jurchens have not yet risen, Ma Zili and others certainly cannot fantasize about leading the Mongolian tribes into the customs - even if Zhang Yunling collaborated with the enemy to betray the country and smuggle weapons, it would not be so whimsical.

However, the current situation of the fatigue and people's livelihood in Guanzhong, all the heads of the family are in their eyes, I am afraid they know better than Qin Lin, but from the perspective of their own interests, even if they know that the people are in difficulty, it is absolutely impossible to take the initiative to reduce looting and rest with the people.

At this moment, when Qin Lin said this, the heads of the family were silent for a while, and they were really speechless.

"That's it," Wang Chonggu took the case and blew the white beard high: "General Qin is not from Guanzhong, and he still asks for the life of the father and elder in Guanzhong, and we are local gentlemen, don't we have a little compassion?" Zhang Dutang wants to implement a new policy, clear the acres of land, suppress mergers, and reduce the burden of the people, which are all excellent things, we are not only happy to see it, but also should help from the side, and know the righteousness of those stubborn gentry, and always let Zhang Dutang succeed! ”

Ma Zili, Yang Junmin, and Shen Xin were taken aback, and soon made up their minds, and followed Wang Chonggu to pat his chest, saying that not only would he not obstruct the implementation of a whip law, but also took the initiative to ask the government to clear the acres of land and pay taxes according to the actual amount.

In addition to the young master's mansion that is about to die, the three wealthy families in Guanzhong are headed by Wang Ma Yang and Shen Si, they do not obstruct the new policy, and the meaning of the words is to suppress the backlash of other small and medium-sized gentry for Zhang Gongyu, so the implementation of a whip law, clearing the acres of land, and reducing the burden of the people will be nine out of ten.

Qin Linhuo stood up suddenly, strode up to Wang Chonggu, took his hand and shook it vigorously, with an inexplicable look of admiration: "Mr. Wang has a broad mind for the people and takes the initiative to assist in the implementation of the new policy, which is really well understood!" Qin thanked Zhang Dutang for the people of Sanjin Guanzhong! ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Wang Chonggu was made to cry by Qin Lin and neither laughed, but he had to humbly say that he was much worse than General Qin, and at the same time, there was a smile in his old eyes: You little fox...... Aren't you an old fox? Qin Lin also had a wicked smile on his face.

Wang Chonggu shook his head, and there was a little emotion in his heart, the old fox can't fight the little fox today!

The two sides negotiated, high-fived and swore an oath, Qin Lin led King Weide, Sonam Gyatso and Jebel to send the four Jin merchant lords out of the palace, and there were huge interests in the middle, and the two sides were unbreakable allies from then on.

Qin Lin turned around and went back, but the four family heads did not go back to their respective homes, but came to Wang Chonggu's mansion together, and they have always been in the same breath, this time when they encounter such a big matter, there are many places to discuss.

"In the end, it's still Uncle Wang Shishu who understands things!" Yang Junmin sighed: "We are still suffering from gains and losses, and the old uncle made a decision immediately, tsk tsk......"

Shen Xin and Ma Zili also nodded yes.

In this era, the profits from the rent and tax collected from growing grain were far inferior to the income from industry and commerce, for example, in the Jiangnan region, which was originally a high-yield grain area, it was changed from growing grain to planting mulberry and raising silkworms or planting tea trees.

Since the Jin merchants were called merchants, business was the first place, and the identities of big bureaucrats and big landlords had to come second, and although land was regarded as the foundation, the benefits obtained could not be compared with those of merchants. After all, the yield per mu of land at this time is quite limited, and the tenants are not heavenly soldiers, they always have to eat to survive, and the wealthy families can not pay less than the imperial grain and national tax, but the government must also be embellished with one or two, and there is not much left, at least the profits are far inferior to the merchants.

Yang Junmin, Shen Xin and Ma Zili hesitated for a moment just now, and then remembered that they regretted it, if they collapsed the negotiations because of this, wouldn't it be because of a small loss? Or Wang Chonggu should be decisive, and he has courage!

As everyone knows, Wang Chonggu smiled, and a sly smile appeared on his face: "The reopening of the Silk Road, the benefits are mostly obtained by the four of us, but the land of the three Jin Dynasty in Guanzhong is not all my four, and the reduced tax is also limited, so why bother to take advantage of the fire for others?" Of course, the old man had to hurry up and agree. ”

Oh my god, Yang Junmin, Shen Xin and Ma Zili all brushed and high-fived.

Business is not the same as the local landlords, the big landlords and the small and medium-sized landlords, there is not much difference in the strength of the tenants, even if the four families of Wang, Ma, Yang and Shen merge, the vast land of Guanzhong Sanjin, the four families only account for a small part, and more belong to the large and small powerful landlords in various places, so Zhang Gongyu implemented the new policy, and their damaged interests were extremely limited, and more of them were unlucky.

If there is no restriction, small and medium-sized businesses in the same industry are absolutely unable to compete with large businesses, so the reopening of the Silk Road, the main profits will fall into the pockets of Wang Ma Yang Shen Sijia.

This is the difference between a feudal agrarian economy and commercial capitalism.

Although Ma, Yang, and Shen don't understand what doctrine is, they are all well-informed old slippery heads, Wang Chonggu dialed a little, and the essence of this point was seen through by them, the implementation of the new policy to reduce the burden of the people, more to damage the interests of others, the opening of the Silk Road is to make a lot of money for themselves, and to be generous to others, that is the best thing!

At this moment, in the eyes of Ma, Yang, and Shen, Wang Chonggu is simply an old and refined guy, and he is the one who is cunning and scheming, and he is the one who is full of words for a while.

Wang Chonggu was not very happy, but a little lonely, and sighed: "What is the old man? Even if you see things a little more clearly than you, you are still being calculated by that Qin general step by step, think about it, today's affairs, where can you get rid of his calculations? We're all led by the nose by him! ”

Ma Zili, Yang Junmin, and Shen Xin looked at each other, and suddenly woke up from joy, all of them were a little bit unpleasant, they were the kings and hegemons of the Sanjin Dynasty in Guanzhong, and they felt that they had seen a lot of skills and had a hard hand, but with a touch with the surname Qin, they really couldn't get out of the scope of his line every step of the way.

"Well, what else can I say in the future? You can only follow behind other people's butts! After Ma Zili finished speaking, he didn't know what kind of mood he was in.

Wang Chonggu looked at the sky from afar and sighed leisurely: "There are talented people in the country, and a generation of new people is better than the old people......"

Qin Lin's Mansion, after seeing off the four guests, returned to the flower hall again, Zhebei didn't care, always with a straight face and a loyal look, King Weide and Sonam Gyatso looked at Qin Lin from time to time, and stopped talking.

General Qin's skill in observing words and emotions is so powerful, how can he not know the meaning of these two? Wen Yan said with a smile: "Great things can be accomplished, they have infinite wealth, the two Buddhas have been suffering for a long time in the snowy plateau, and Qin will have his own incense and silver to offer at that time." ”

"General Qin's merit in enshrineing my Buddha is immeasurable!" His Holiness bowed together.

"Paying homage to the Three Jewels has infinite blessings, and the poor monks chanted and prayed for General Qin," Sonam Gyatso also bowed his head.

As the saying goes, a penny is hard to beat a hero, the people on the snowy plateau are poor, even if they try their best to worship, the temple where Sonam Gyatso and King Weide live has not been renovated for some years, the gold dust on the Buddha's face is also peeled off and mottled, and the ghee for lighting the lantern is about to dry up, I heard that Qin Lincoln gave incense and silver, and the number will naturally not be less, the two Buddhas are happy in their hearts, and the resentment of being forced by Qin Lin to jump into the pit is not completely dissipated, but it can also make up for one or two.

Jebe didn't say a word next to him, the Tumut Department had received a lot of favors from Qin Lin, and he could still ask for his silver? In the future, the three ladies will raise troops to the west, and I will be the vanguard general to deter General Qin in the Western Regions!

Instead, Qin Lin smiled and took the initiative to pat him on the shoulder, asking him to go back and tell the third lady that the interests of reopening the Silk Road were shared by those who saw it, and naturally he couldn't shorten the Tumut Ministry.

With kindness and righteousness, it can be a time but not a lifetime, the so-called promotion of rice and fighting rice hatred is also; If there is a common interest, the two sides can be tied more tightly...... "Brother Qin has become more and more skilled in the heroic means of grace and power!" In the study, Zhang Zixuan looked at Qin Lin and pursed her lips and smiled, although her words were joking, her thick smile revealed her inner relief.

The eldest husband can't be said to be powerless, Zhang Juzheng will also do a lot of tricks, and the most important thing is to never forget the people of the society, Qin Lin has done it.

Qin Lin smiled: "I'm just thinking, what kind of expression did the Heavenly Son of the Jingshi, who is high in the Ninefold Dan Majesty, have when he receives the news?" ”
