Chapter 598: White Clothes (I)

Wang Ju looked at the nine people in front of him.

All nine of them had a look of shame on their faces.

"Sit down," Wang Ju said.

Nine people did not dare to sit down.

"Let you sit down, and maybe I'll tell you good news soon."

These nine people are all workshop owners who have been loaned by the Development Fund, and the other workshop owners have basically repaid the loans together.

It is these nine people who have not repaid, but their respective situations are different, some are because of poor management, some are because of slow results, and all these loans have been purchased in kind, or others, and now they cannot be sold in time. In other words, as long as it is sold, it will immediately produce a loss.

Two of them are losing money and are unable to repay the loan.

Wang Ju asked them to sit down and pointed to the seven workshop owners in front of them, these seven households were the former, and they didn't lose money, but they couldn't cash out. Wang Ju flipped through the account books, then looked up and asked, "Can you seven households make up 10,000 yuan?" ”

"Okay," said the seven at once.

"That's good, you can divide it among yourself, make up 10,000 yuan, and the remaining 19,000 yuan, the official will give you another chance, and allow you to repay it within five years, and at the same time waive the interest for the remaining four years, can you do it?"

"Huh?"

"Can it be done?"

"It can be done, it can be done."

Wang Ju looked at the remaining two workshop owners again, and the eyes of these two people also showed hope, Wang Ju said: "You are not doing well. ”

Why are these nine people a little ashamed, since Wang Ju put down these arrears, he also sent someone to track them down. I saw that some workshops were not right. Take the initiative to find a way to solve their difficulties. Many amenities are also available.

With the support of Wang Ju, some workshop owners quickly turned around, but these people encountered problems of one kind or another, but they did not do a good job. Especially these two people, Wang Ju deliberately sent Xu officials to the door to give instructions three times, but until now, he has not turned losses into profits.

Therefore, after Wang Ju finished speaking. The two immediately became uneasy.

Their workshop is not the "sunrise industry" that Wang Ju said, so when they borrow money, they use the farm house as collateral.

Could it be that in order to recover this loan, this Zhizhou will pawn their farmland?

"You don't have to worry, so-and-so just said that you are not doing well, you have to find a way to learn to operate, in case the official leaves Gyeongju and the next Shinchiju comes, what will you do?"

"Ming Gong ......"

"Well, then, the officer will lend each of you two thousand yuan for a loan. It is also an interest-free loan and has a ten-year term. But ten years from now, will you be able to repay it to the government? ”

"Yes, yes."

"Then let's write a new contract."

Wang Ju took pen and ink, wrote a new contract, signed and drew a pledge, and Wang Ju also stamped the official seal.

Suddenly, nine people knelt down together: "Ming Gong is very kind, just like we recreate our parents, I wish to be a cow and a horse in the next life......"

"You all give it up," Wang Ju shouted.

As soon as he drank, all nine of them got up.

Wang Ju asked them to sit down again, and said: "Why did you set up this development fund, it is to develop the economy of Huanqing and Qingzhou. Why do we have homes, villages and countries? If a family is unfaithful to each other, father and son are unkind and unfilial to each other, and brothers are not friendly and united with each other, is this family still not a family? If the people of a village do not help each other, the poor people gamble and cheat, and the rich people fish and eat the villagers, then this village is still not a village? This is true of the family, the village, and even more so the country. Only when more people unite and help each other, and when there is strength in numbers, can we do many things, such as water conservancy transformation, and can we live in more people. For example, to defend against foreign enemies, only when more people are together, can we have a strong army to defend our homeland. This is the origin of the emergence of the state. However, a serpent cannot be without a head, so a kingdom needs a king who will lead the people. But the country is large, and the king cannot come to inspect it all at once, and can only be governed by officials. It is said that the official is the parent official, and the actual official is the fusion agent and coagulant of this large collective that helps each other. If you really want to be grateful, you have to thank the villagers, if they hadn't deposited the money in the development fund, the official would not have been able to lend you money. Of course, if you run it properly, feed many helpers, and take the initiative to pay the commercial tax, in turn, you can make more people rich, and if you have the commercial tax in your hands, you can benefit more villagers. That is to say, the official only plays a role of solidification and integration, and it is you who really help each other and develop together. ”

One of the elders said, "But there is no Ming Gong, what kind of solidification and fusion is there......

"yes, yes."

"So the country needs officials, this is also the duty of officials, I do a good job is a business, if I do not do well, it is a dereliction of duty. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the salary offered to me by His Majesty. You must know that these salaries are also collected from the people. ”

This statement was too advanced, and the nine people did not dare to answer.

Wang Ju also said: "You are an upright person, do business, do not steal, do not rob, and do not violate the laws of the country, and do not kneel to people at every turn in the future." You have lost your dignity, and others cannot afford it. ”

"Ming Gong can afford it."

"I can't afford it, at most, I helped you, but you also helped me, at least with your help, I have some political achievements. Alright, don't say anything else, you can go back. ”

A few people let Wang Ju bang out, of course, it wasn't a bang, but they stood outside the state government and were at a loss, did they help Zhizhou?

Then I went back with emotion and shame.

Wang Ju looked at the account book again.

Why did Wang Ju ask them to share the 10,000 guan money, so that there would be no loss on the books of the development fund, and there was a surplus of more than 300 guan yuan, or more than 20,000 guan IOUs in the hands of these nine people.

Wang Ju began to issue a dew cloth, telling all the people who had saved money to take out the money, and also to take it out before it was due, but still pay them three percent interest.

Then Wang Ju rode a horse to see a few poor villages, and taught them how to change the current backward situation and poor life.

Everyone didn't pay much attention to it, good officials, so Wang Jucai did it.

Only a handful of people have a vague sense that something is wrong.

One thing happened next. It made them feel even more uneasy.

Wang Ju hired several large carriages. Then let the concubine and Qiongniang and a maid and children in the house. With the luggage, they got into the carriage together.

A neighbor asked worriedly, but Wang Ju just said lightly and asked the concubine to take them to Yanzhou to see the ancestral house.

Of course, many people didn't believe it, but Wang Ju didn't say it, and they didn't dare to ask.

Then the envoy of the court came.

A eunuch named Hou Yuanli, but Wang Ju knew this eunuch. The relationship is not evil.

Wang Ju welcomed Hou Yuanli to the state office, and Hou Yuanli said: "Our family is here to pass on the official's password, and let you go to Beijing to report on your work." ”

"I know this," Wang Ju nodded, he had been waiting for a long time!

He also said: "But there is no need for me to go to Beijing to report on my work, and I can reply to His Majesty here." ”

"Wang Zhizhou, how can this be?"

"I said yes, make a record for me."

"Whoa." Huang Hua responded, and immediately took down the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Prepare the record. Hearing the word record, Hou Yuanli's face immediately changed. If you don't get it, something big is going to happen.

Zhang Qi sat on the side and sighed slightly.

Wang Ju also said: "The official family summoned me to Beijing to report on my work, but there are only four things, the first thing is that under my instruction, ten merchants will sell fireworks workshops and bamboo paper workshops, which is not enough. The key is that they took a break from the shochu workshop and donated it to the imperial court. Jiefu Gong did not accept it well, and it was even worse if he did not accept it, and besides, the high soju produced in it was the best medicine for disinfection, because with it, now every war will reduce a large number of deaths due to inflammation of wounds. Therefore, Jiefu Gong had to accept the past, and this acceptance would inevitably make the ministers of the court impeached. Therefore, the official family wanted me to go to Beijing to explain to Jiefu Gong and resolve his embarrassing situation. But I don't understand, first of all, Jiefu Gong implemented the City Easy Law, and the City Easy Service purchased unsalable commercial goods, just ask bamboo paper, fireworks, shochu, and cane sugar, which is the same unsalable commercial goods? I don't know the grievances with Chen Xiang, why did Chen Xiang transfer to Hangzhou? Yes, I did, but look at why. This is the quantity and price given by Chen Xiang, and the one over there is the original output and selling price. ”

Wang Ju handed over two account books for Hou Yuanli to watch.

"This amount is almost double the original output, how can a few workshops complete it on time. And at this price, it is almost impossible to keep the cost of production. With this quota and price, what do you want me to do? ”

"This is Chen Xiang messing around, not Jiefugong's intention."

"Since Jiefu Gong is presiding over the change of the law, is he an ordinary person? Don't you know what will happen if Chen Xiang goes to Hangzhou? Therefore, with the cause of Jiefu Gong, there is this effect. And I'm thinking about another thing, the quota and price of the sugar workshop are also unbearable, but there are deed shares between the eldest princess and some of the children of the clan, should I let the merchants of Yanzhou get out. ”

"Wang Zhizhou, don't do it."

"No, it's not me, it's Jiefu Gong, if there is this quota and price, it's okay. If it weren't for this quota and price, maybe I would have reconsidered. As for the remaining three workshops, I won't confront Jiefugong, but I don't want me to defend Jiefugong, I won't be so cheap. ”

"But the official family ......"

"This is my reply to the official family, and I hope that the official family will also consider my feelings. Moreover, the city law itself is a joke. ”

Wang Anshi saw it well when he was filial piety in Jiangning, these people put usury and cheated people, but they did make money. Therefore, the shadow of usury can be seen everywhere in his changes. It's just a slight reduction in the interest rate of usury, but it's still usury.

Wang Anshi saw that businessmen made a lot of money doing business, so he came up with this idea, if the business of the whole country is monopolized, then how much money does the country have to make a year? In fact, the money earned at the peak of the market law was not as much as the money collected by BIBS. And most of the money earned is IOUs.

In fact, it was good to start doing well, and letting Xue Xiang preside over the dispatch of the Southern Nine Roads was the real way to operate. But Wang Ju didn't want to say more, and besides, the soon-more cheating horse protection method is here again......

"The second thing is what Wang Yan said about the test method, yes, it is what I said, but although it looks very beautiful, it has too many drawbacks, so I have not reported it to the official. For example, economic income is used as the criterion for the evaluation of officials' political performance. Needless to say, in a few years, the country's taxes and other revenues will skyrocket. But the disadvantages are also very strict, since ancient times, Shinong, industry and commerce, officials are mostly ashamed of their words, whether it is true shame or false shame, there are indeed very few ministers who understand the economy, and now the state uses this to test political achievements, so if you don't understand, most officials will inevitably redouble their harshness to the people, increase taxes and other revenues in various states and counties, in order to promote official positions. The people suffered. If officials take the lead in speaking for profit, and the whole country takes money as the standard, then morality will inevitably gradually be lost......"

It's like a white cat and a black cat, and a foreign adult is supreme.

It was developed against the backdrop of extreme poverty and technological backwardness throughout the country.

Then take this test, and the specific thing is to look at the squeezed land in various places, as well as to attract investment.

Attracting investment has made foreigners get a lot of cheapness, especially the Japanese people.

But think about it carefully, at least because these foreign capital came in, although they will not really pass on high-end technology to the Chinese, but after seeing it, everyone knows the gap, it will not be as closed as before, blind and arrogant, and see the advanced management methods and production methods, and the Chinese people will gradually catch up.

Of course, there are really many disadvantages of it, what is a white cat and a black cat, that is, as long as it does not violate the laws of the country, whether it is legitimate or gray, as long as it can make a fortune, it is good.

This has led to a series of very bad consequences.

But considering that in the late seventies, it was indeed a timely rain.

Then the correction is done.

As Wang Ju said, there is an unchanging "law". In winter, you must wear thick clothes, otherwise you will freeze to death. In the summer, you should wear thin clothes, otherwise you will die of heat.

However, in the Song Dynasty, once this situation appeared, everyone did not understand, and there were no advanced countries to compare, how to correct it? Is it going to be a change again?

Wang Ju continued: "If you use military merit to pass the test, you must let the generals enter the phase, and it may not really cause a rebellion of the five generations, but will the scholars agree?" Using moral education to pass the test, the moral standard since ancient times has been indifferent to fame and fortune. However, if you want to be rich, you can't do without industry and commerce, businessmen themselves are profit-seeking, and the country wants to be rich and strong, but it is indifferent to fame and fortune, can it work? ”

"Neglect one or the other?"

"Waiting for the envoy, that's exactly what it means. Of course, if the wisdom is clever enough, if you take care of this, you can also take care of the other. However, judging from Jiefugong's changes, I think Jiefu Gong may not be able to do it. Therefore, Wang Yan's test method should not be implemented in a hurry. ”

Wang Yan entered the capital last year.

This Wang Ju doesn't care, mainly because some time ago, he suddenly introduced the examination method, and the implementation of the law change is good or bad as the standard of political performance.

And he didn't take credit, saying that it was Wang Juti's.

Maybe he wanted to use this to force Wang Ju to join the ranks of the law change, or it was possible that he would take revenge on Wang Ju, but what exactly he thought, Wang Ju didn't know very well. After all, the two only have a one-sided relationship, and Wang Ju is not very clear about this Yanei.

Of course, after the introduction of this test method, the whole court was in chaos.

Since Zhao Ji summoned Wang Ju to Beijing to report on his work, this article must also be asked.

Therefore, Wang Ju made an explanation here.

However, these two items are not the most important, Wang Anshi may also be disgusted with Wang Ju, but the other group is different, they want to completely trample Wang Ju to death. This is what Wang Ju is going to say next...... (To be continued......)
