Chapter 210: Sharing Wealth
Next, Jiajing seemed relaxed, and exchanged a few words with Xu Qian with great interest, but he was still thinking about what Xu Qian had just said.
He himself has natural doubts about dignitaries and officials, and he will never trust others lightly, Xu Qian's words are equivalent to opening Pandora's box, making it difficult for Jiajing to calm down for a long time.
"Your father used to be the head of the team in Qiantang County, and I only know some of the things in the county, but I have never seen the specific situation, Qiantang is a county, so I think it's very lively."
Xu Qian obediently popularized science for Jiajing Jiajing, and said some of the customs of Qiantang, Jiajing's eyes were gloomy, and said: "In this way, I don't know how many times better it is than Anlu." ”
Xu Qian thought to himself, how can a place like Anlu where birds don't poop be compared to the place where Hangzhou is governed? He smiled and said, "Sooner or later, Sooner or later, I will have the opportunity to take a look." ”
Jiajing's face was gloomy, and he said loudly: "I am the Son of Heaven and the body of ten thousand gold, how can I do this fortunate thing lightly?" ”
Xu Qian was taken aback, he was negligent for a while, he didn't think about Jiajing's thoughts, this guy and Emperor Zhengde are really two extremes, if it is Emperor Zhengde, I am afraid that Xu Qian will say casually, promising that he will not be able to sleep and eat, and he has to go to Jiangnan, but Jiajing is more like an otaku, and he has no interest in wandering around.
Xu Qian laughed dryly and said, "Naturally, naturally." ”
Jiajing's face also softened, and said: "But although I can't go myself, I have my own eyes and ears, others can't be trusted, but I still believe in you, from your words, I believe in you even more, pick up some new things to tell me in the future, I'm not afraid of annoyance." I'm afraid of being deceived. ”
It can be said that Xu Qian is also a reserve cadre of the Ming Dynasty, and his father is now an official with a hundred households in brocade clothes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the son of a powerful person, but Xu Qian abandoned the position of "powerful" and stood on Jiajing's side clearly, saying that this noble official is in danger of doing business, which is really rare for Jiajing. He had seen too much about the affairs of officials and officials, and he had long been numb, but Xu Qian did the opposite, which made Jiajing's impression of him a lot higher.
Xu Qian sighed and said: "I'm afraid that it will be difficult for students to have a few more opportunities to return to their hometowns, and it's not that students don't want to be their eyes and ears." I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities in the future. ”
Jiajing glanced at him and said with a smile: "Are you saying that when you pass the exam, according to my Ming rules, local officials are not allowed to be officials within five hundred miles of their hometown, right?" ”
Xu Qian smiled and said, "The test is imminent, and the students have to work harder." ”
Jiajing couldn't help but smile and said, "If you really can't win, then it's okay." But it's naturally good to be able to be in the middle of the war, your father is in the army, if you can enter Hanlin, it will be my luck. ”
There was a message in and out of his words. made Xu Qian feel that the future was bright, and Xu Qian said reservedly: "Students will live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”
Seeing that it was not early, Huang Jin was a little anxious, if he went back later. The palace gate is about to be closed, if the queen mother of the two palaces knows. If you have to worry, the ministers will know that they will definitely take the opportunity to complain.
Jiajing was not in a hurry, talking to Xu Qian while drinking tea, and when it came to the evening, the matter outside the hall was finally resolved, and the trivial matters finally came to an end, Xu Chang hurriedly came to salute Jiajing, and said: "Weichen knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor." ”
Jiajing personally stepped forward to help Xu Chang up, and said, "Xu Qing's family has worked hard and has made great achievements, so there is no need to be polite." ”
Xu Changcheng was terrified and said, "Thank you, you have something to play." ”
Jiajing smiled and said, "What did you play?" ”
Xu Chang said: "There are more than 230 businessmen who donate silver today, most 500, less than 300, a total of more than 84,000 silver. ”
Hearing this amount, Jiajing couldn't help but take a deep breath, this is only the first day, the first day is more than 80,000 taels of silver, almost accounting for one percent of the annual income of the inner treasury, the speed of this wealth is really amazing, even the income speed of the treasury is not as fast as a small road political situation, if this is said, others may not believe it.
Xu Chang said: "However, according to Weichen's prediction, there will be more businessmen who pay silver money this month, but after this month, the number should gradually decrease, and some scribes have made a rough estimate that the annual income of the Road Administration Bureau this year should be around two million." However, after all, the road administration bureau is a grass creation, many measures have not been really implemented, and there are still many businessmen who are waiting and watching, and the situation has not yet been fully rolled out, if it is done well, I am afraid that the annual income in the next year will be more than five million taels. ”
"Five million?" Jiajing was stunned, he originally just wanted to earn a little money, there were hundreds of thousands of taels, he was already satisfied, even if it was only 100,000 taels, it was not lower than his expectations, but Xu Chang told him that his number was five million, which was almost far more than the treasury's annual silver income, Jiajing was not only stunned, but also ecstatic.
If he knew that the five million taels were just a conservative estimate, maybe he would have to go crazy, and what happened today far subverted his cognition, which was equivalent to opening a window for him to see a more wonderful world, in this world, it turned out that the imperial court held court discussions and debates for tens of thousands of taels of silver every year became a joke.
Jiajing couldn't help but say, "There are so many ...... So much silver? Where did it all come from? I still underestimate these rich businessmen. ”
He glanced at Xu Chang appreciatively, and continued: "Xu Qing's family has done a good job, I have entrusted the road political situation to Xu Qing's family, and now the road administration bureau is involved, Xu Aiqing must remember to be cautious, Xu Qing will not live up to me, and I will never fail to live up to Qing." ”
Jiajing's instructions became solemn, at the beginning, the political situation of this road was only a matter of his face, but now it is no longer a simple face, but related to his honor and disgrace.
Say a thousand things and say ten thousand ways, whether the emperor is a good emperor or not does not depend on how diligent he is, but on how many things he can accomplish, disaster relief, the use of soldiers, and the construction of river embankments, which all require the use of white silver, with silver, you can make countless good governance with a wave of your hand, but if you don't have silver, you will boil your hair white, and how to save your own money, it is also nonsense. 、
Therefore, most of the evaluations given by later generations will say that during a certain period, the treasury was abundant and the world was peaceful.
Jiajing said excitedly: "You and other credits, I will not forget jì, if this road political situation is well managed, I am willing to share the wealth with you." ”
This sentence may just be Jiajing's unintentional words, maybe he was too excited to say it recklessly, but it can prove Jiajing's mood at this time.
He saw that it was not early, and then smiled: "Okay, I wanted to stay for a while, but it was getting late, and I was going to drive back to the palace." ”
Jiajing got out of the road political situation, happily sat on the step that had been waiting outside for a long time, and finally glanced at Xu Qian deeply, his eyes narrowed, and he leaned on the cushion behind his head, as if he had fallen into some kind of train of thought.
And Xu Qian's father and son watched Jiajing leave, and the father and son kept sending the holy driving eyes far away, Xu Changcai said as if in a dream: "Qian'er, I didn't expect this matter to be done by you and my father and son, haha...... It's time for my Xu family to raise their eyebrows and exclaim! ”
Xu Qian didn't seem surprised, of course, this was just on the surface, and his heart was full of surprises, although he expected that the Road Administration Bureau would make money, but he still underestimated the fear of the businessmen for the officials, and also underestimated the businessmen's desire for stability.
Xu Qian said: "Dad, now is not the time to be happy, the Road Administration Bureau has just taken the first step, there are still many difficulties in the future, the Road Administration Bureau is done, Dad will soar to the sky sooner or later, if it is not done well, our Xu family can only be obscure forever, those imperial envoys may not be willing to give up if they suffer losses, they may come to find fault at any time, in short, we must be careful in the future." ”
Xu Chang nodded his head and said: "I am not proud of my father, I am just happy, what you said is that everything is difficult at the beginning, and now there is no one in the eight characters, so naturally we should be cautious, now there are more and more things in the road political situation, and there is a shortage of manpower, and the old man plans to go to Shandong to recruit some people." ”
Xu Qian couldn't help but ask: "Go to Shandong?" Isn't there a lot of people in Kyoshi? ”
In this regard, Xu Chang is enough to be Xu Qian's teacher, Xu Chang smiled and said: "The biggest drawback of those officials in the county is to appoint locals as officials, because the relationship between the locals in the county is complicated, and the things arranged by the superiors, these local officials often disobey the yang and the yin, and deceive the officials. That's why I'm willing to obey my father's words, and I'm not afraid that these people will secretly collude with others and frame us. ”
Xu Qian couldn't help but be speechless, he suddenly thought that the old man seemed to be the so-called local official in his mouth, bullying Shangguan who was not familiar with the affairs of the county, and had done anything lacking in morality, this was a bloody experience, and the so-called best fugitive could also be the most outstanding policeman, because only such a person could be familiar with all kinds of criminal methods.
